"Ladies and gentlemen, you are welcome to take China Spring Airlines flight 409 from city C to city D..."

From the moment he got on the plane, Lu Ming looked out of the window with a gloomy face, and the low air pressure all over his body made Li Hong beside him afraid to talk.Turning to look at the man sitting on the other side of him, he asked cautiously, "Are you Lu Ming's cousin?"

Han Xi put down the magazine in his hand, and smiled softly at Li Hong, "Well, my name is Han Xi."

Li Hong looked Han Xi up and down, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity, coupled with Han Xi's kind attitude, the two quickly became acquainted.

"...Oh, so you are also traveling, so why not stay with me, and Lu Ming will go too." Li Hong suggested to Han Xi.

As soon as Lu Ming heard it, he immediately became a hedgehog with fried hair, and stopped pretending to be dead, "Why do you bring everyone home!"

Li Hong looked at Lu Ming aggrievedly, "Isn't he your cousin, I think he is quite nice."

Lu Ming gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, and stopped talking to the two of them.

Li Hong only said that the relationship between Lu Ming and his cousin was not good, so he looked at Han Xi helplessly and didn't say anything more.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when the plane landed in City D, and then the three of them took a taxi to their destination.

"We will arrive in two hours. You can sleep for a while. I will call you when we arrive." Li Hong, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said to the two people who were still arguing in the back row.

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you." Han Xi smiled politely at Li Hong.

Sitting next to him, Lu Ming didn't say a word, silently watching the rapidly changing scenery outside the window.

"I don't know what you're angry about." Han Xi leaned his back against the backrest, tilted his head back slightly, and found a very comfortable position.

"It's free." Lu Ming responded lightly.

"..."

"Where's your brother?" Lu Ming only saw a shameless Han Xi after getting on the plane, but he never saw Brother Mei.

Han Xi breathed out comfortably, and stretched out his finger, "In my ring, he can't be transformed into a real body."

Lu Ming smiled sarcastically, if he really turned into a real body, he would have been dissected/dissected by the research institute by now.

"What are you doing in City D?" Lu Ming continued to ask.

"My brother noticed something in City D," Han Xi turned the ring on his hand, and continued to explain, "Getting rid of it can improve your practice a lot."

Lu Ming seemed to have grasped a certain key point, and turned to look at Han Xi, "Fix it? Does that mean it's not a good thing?"

Han Xi glanced at him, this is not nonsense, if it is a friendly thing, why is he here.

"..."

The back row returned to silence.

"We'll be there soon, pack up your things and get off the bus." Li Hong instructed the driver to stop at a platform not far away.

"Li Hong, your hometown feels a bit behind the trend of the times." Lu Ming, who got off the bus first, looked at the so-called platform. It was actually a standing blue-gray stone with some simple patterns engraved on the surface, probably due to time. For a long time, many patterns have been blurred.In the middle of the stone, three red characters "Hongli Village" are engraved vertically. The strange thing is that the characters are embossed on the surface of the stone, and the vision is very strong.

Li Hong didn't take it seriously, "This stone has always been here. The old man said that Feng Shui should not be broken, so he didn't move it."

Lu Ming nodded, poked Han Xi's shoulder secretly, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything wrong?"

Han Xi shook his head, but his eyes stayed on the stone for a long time.

"Let's walk along this road for another half an hour." Li Hong pointed to the shadowed road ahead.Lu Ming looked at the indicated direction and raised his eyebrows, a trace of coolness ran up his back.

Under the leadership of Li Hong, the three of them walked slowly along the path by the light of their mobile phones.

"Why is it so quiet, you can't even hear the screams of bugs." Lu Ming asked Li Hong, shaking his phone left and right.

Li Hong carefully jumped over the puddle in front of him, "I didn't notice it if you didn't tell me, it's really strange."

"What about you?" Lu Ming turned to Han Xi again.

"I don't know." Han Xi frowned and looked around. The three of them seemed to have entered a large encirclement, watched by a danger hidden in the dark. Every step they took, they seemed to be able to hear the sticky licking of their lips. Voice.

I don't know how long I walked, but there were a few beams of lights in front of me.Li Hong squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, raised the corners of his mouth.

"The light is here, let's go." Li Hong urged the two people who followed behind.

The three of them quickened their pace and arrived at the light source within a short time.

"Is this a stage?" Lu Ming looked up at the colorful lights blown by the wind, and the orange lights intertwined tacitly on the stage.

"Well, operas are sung during the Chinese New Year. But this light has to be on every night and cannot be extinguished." After Li Hong finished speaking, he hummed a short section of Shangdang Bangzi, which made Lu Ming laugh out loud.

"What's that for?" There was a locked wooden door directly under the stage, with a face mask hanging on each side of the door.The face on the right has a red forehead, ochre-colored cheeks, black eyebrows and forked parts of the mouth, and the lines on the face are extremely complicated.The face on the left is mostly gold, with black eyebrows and a lotus-shaped red pattern on the forehead.

Li Hong scratched his head, and said uncertainly: "It seems to be a place to put sundries, but I remember only opening it once."

Han Xi stared at the wooden door thoughtfully, and slowly looked up...

"Oh, it's already two o'clock, let's go quickly." Lu Ming's voice sounded inappropriately.

Li Hong dragged his luggage and pointed to the distance, "Bypassing the stage, the third row is my home."

After walking for about 5 minutes, the three of them stopped.

"Here we are." Li Hong pointed to the two-story western-style building in front of him. He saw that the outer wall of the building was paved with light gray stone square bricks. The door of the house was a brown wooden carved door. ", and the top is an orange eaves with upturned corners. Compared with the two adjacent houses, it can be seen that Li Hong's family is considered wealthy.

Li Hong knocked on the door, the light inside the door came on, and a woman with a pretty face opened the door.

"Mom, I'm back." Li Hong smiled and looked at the woman in front of him.

The woman glanced at Li Hong, then at Lu Ming and Han Xi behind, hummed in a low voice and walked in, completely ignoring the three people who were at a loss behind them.

"My mother is angry about getting up, don't mind." Li Hong smiled coyly, and beckoned the two to go upstairs.

Li Hong's room is very spacious, with a living room connected to a bedroom.There are two bookshelves in the corner of the living room. A gray cotton sofa is leaning against the window. Opposite the sofa is the fireplace TV. Next to it is a desk with a few famous books piled up in a mess.Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the wall next to the bedroom, which is covered with photos of Li Hong from infancy to adulthood, including several portraits of Sha Matt.

"You really follow the trend." Lu Ming smiled maliciously at Li Hong, and secretly put a photo of Sha Matt in his wallet.

Li Hong raised his chin and said proudly: "Who hasn't been young and frivolous yet."

The two smiled at each other.

Since Li Hong's house did not have a bathroom, they had to go to a nearby bathhouse to take a bath, so the three of them simply washed up and went to bed.Han Xi and Lu Ming slept on Li Hong's big bed, and Li Hong slept on the floor.

Li Hong might be too tired and snore soon, but Lu Ming on the bed was not sleepy at all.Just as he was tossing and turning, a hand touched his back, Lu Ming turned around suddenly, and shouted: "Don't sleep, what are you doing!"

Han Xi blinked innocently, "I remember my mother would pat me on the back when I couldn't sleep when I was a child."

"..."

"How old are you?" Lu Ming's heart suddenly softened, and he asked softly, staring at Han Xi's eyes.

Han Xi thought for a while, then shook his head gently, "I remember some things, but I don't remember some things. I've been dead for too long, and my memory keeps deteriorating."

"Then how did you die?" Lu Ming regretted it as soon as he opened his mouth, which was simply poking Han Xi's weakness.

"The one that was eaten." Han Xi put his hand around Lu Ming's back and patted rhythmically.

"?"

"It was eaten by my mother..." Han Xi paused, moved his head forward a little bit, and threw a cold breath on Lu Ming's face, "But I don't hate her. When I think of her atonement in Daoshan Hell The way I look, I feel very happy in my heart!"

Lu Ming stared at the dark eyes that were close at hand, brushed the hair scattered on his forehead with his hands, and said in a deep voice, "She deserves it."

Han Xi raised his mouth and put his hands on Lu Ming's eyes.

Lu Ming dreamed about many things from the past.When he was a child, he was short and strong, but he was very timid, and he had to drag his father to buy an ice cream.When I grew up a little bit, I learned to play rebellion with my classmates at school, and started skipping classes to catch birds. After being discovered by his mother, he gave two big mouths.As an adult, all the friends around him started looking for a partner, but he waved his hands, thinking it was a waste of time.Until the accidental death of both parents...

"Wake up!"

Lu Ming was pulled out of the dream by a force, opened his eyelids impatiently, and saw Li Hong above his head looking at him worriedly.

"Are you having a nightmare, calling out all the time?"

"What did I say?" Lu Ming rubbed his eyes and picked up the quilt that fell on the floor.

Li Hong thought for a while, "I was wrong, I didn't dare to say something like that, and I still smirked after I finished speaking, it scared me to death."

"..."

"Uh... some trivial things from the past." Lu Ming looked to the side, the bed was already empty, "Where's Han Xi?"

"He just came downstairs, so hurry up and tidy up, I'll take you to the ape cave." Li Hong couldn't help but stroke Lu Ming's messy hair, feeling good.

But Li Hong's good mood didn't last long. As soon as he went downstairs, he saw his mother pointing at Han Xi and yelling.

"What are you, get out!" Li Hong's mother threw a thick dictionary on Han Xi's face, Han Xi was not angry, and stared at her coldly.

"Mom, what are you doing, he's my friend!" Li Hong stood in front of his mother, blocking Han Xi's sight.

Li Hong's mother straightened her hair, and said disdainfully: "It's better not to make friends with such dubious friends, hum!" After she finished speaking, she walked towards the back room.

Lu Ming tugged at the corner of Han Xi's clothes and whispered, "What happened?"

"Her red underwear was exposed, and she got angry when I said it wasn't suitable for her." Han Xi narrated calmly.

Lu Ming didn't want to talk to him, this kind of ghost was disliked everywhere.

Li Hong looked at Han Xi apologetically, wanted to explain something, but gave up again, looked deeply into the back room, and sighed helplessly, "Let's go, I'll take you to the ape cave."
