It was a bit embarrassing for a celestial master to be protected by a ghost, so Tao Mujia typed and asked him again: "Are you very good?"

Qin Wenyu said lightly: "I am a fierce ghost. Of course I am very powerful. I can't beat people, but very few ghosts can hurt me."

Tao Mujia nodded and continued typing: "Thank you."

The corners of Qin Wenyu's gentle eyes bent down again, "You don't need to thank me." He paused and explained, "After all, you saved me."

The child next to him stared at the top of his head for a long time. Tao Mujia raised his eyes to look at the child, and silently plugged in the earphones. There were one or two movies and online dramas in Liang An's mobile phone. Tao Mujia didn't know which one was good, so he clicked on one Put it on the table.

The film was about modern urban life, Tao Mujia had no interest, and began to doze off while watching it. Qin Wenyu stood behind him, watching the drama intently. Seeing Tao Mujia fell asleep, he chuckled silently and wanted to help unbutton his suit. He buckled it up to prevent him from catching a cold. He stretched out his hand, but his hand passed through Tao Mujia's body. He froze for a moment, silently withdrew his hand, and started watching the drama again.

When Tao Mujia woke up, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, Qishan County had arrived, and the train was about to enter the station. He tapped the screen, and it was automatically shown in the tenth episode. He turned his head and looked at Qin Wenyu, who was frowning Seeing him with relish, seeing him looking over, he immediately let go of his brows, "Are you at the station?"

Tao Mujia made mouth gestures to answer him.

They got off the bus together. Opposite the train station is the passenger station. The bus departs every 15 minutes. Tao Mujia first went to the bank to withdraw 1000 yuan, bought a backpack and a change of toiletries, bought a ticket, and took Qin Wenyu to board the bus together. .

At this time, the bus was always full of people, so Qin Wenyu sat in the empty seat next to Tao Mujia and watched the crowds in the passenger station.

At that time, if I wanted to leave home, I had to take a cart pulled by mules and walk all day to get to the county town, from early morning to dusk every time.

Qin Wenyu still vaguely remembers the first time he took Liang Qian into the county seat. They lay down on the pile of straw pulled by mules for a whole day, watching the sun go from east to west, and at dusk the sky put on a shawl. Said, "I used to practice on Qinglong Mountain, and the master didn't care about me. I often went to the top of the cliff to watch the sunrise and sunset. I felt that those were the two most splendid moments of the day. I thought I would watch it alone for the rest of my life. I didn't expect I met you not long after I went down the mountain, I am truly lucky."

The setting sun came in from the side window, and Tao Mujia's broken hair melted in the dim warm light. Qin Wenyu looked at him for a while, and then the car started.

The original muddy path has turned into an asphalt road. The car is driving very fast, and the car is very quiet. Only a boy who looks like a college student is playing with his mobile phone. A middle-aged couple is chatting about homework. The screen on the front of the car is playing "Liu Sanjie" , stopped halfway, the couple went down, only Tao Mujia and the boy were still in the car.

Qin Wenyu carefully examined the boy for a long time, and even floated over to sway in front of the boy, and then swayed back to Tao Mujia, with a look of relief on his face.

"It's a descendant of our Qin family."

"Your grandson?" Tao Mujia asked him holding up his phone.

Qin Wenyu shook his head lightly, "I don't know which generation my elder brother's descendants are."

"What about your descendants?"

Qin Wenyu smiled, "I have no descendants."

Presumably he passed away at a young age, and it was too late to get married. Tao Mujia told him that it was a pity, but Qin Wenyu just shook his head and didn't talk to him.

When they arrived at Qinjia Village, they got off the car with the boy.

The original village has been turned into a farm after the land reform, and Qinjia Village has also become a branch of Qishan Farm. There are dozens of families living in this branch, and you can see the head at a glance. There are no tourist attractions here. , so no one will get off here except those visiting relatives.

The boy was obviously surprised to see Tao Mujia get off the car with him, but he didn't intend to come up to talk to him.

It was already half dark, and the lights on both sides of the concrete road were turned on. The boy walked fast, and Tao Mujia chased after him in three steps at a time, and shouted a little loudly: "Hello!"

The boy stopped and looked at him warily.

"Excuse me, do you know a person named Qin Wenyu?"

Hearing the name, the boy frowned and shook his head in confusion.

Qin Wenyu leaned into Tao Mujia's ear and said, "Ask him if he knows Qin Zhiwu."

"Then do you know Qin Zhiwu?"

The boy was stunned for a moment, but the name had a little impression, "Are you looking for the ancestor of the Qin family?"

Qin Wenyu smiled smugly, and raised the corner of his eyes at Tao Mujia.

"Well, that's how it is. I'm a freelance writer. I came across Mr. Qin's deeds by chance when I was looking up materials in S City, so I came here to visit." Tao Mujia made up a reasonable reason.

The boy was still a little wary, but in this small place where they were neither poor nor rich, it seemed that someone knew the names of the elders in the family. Called the family.

The two stood facing each other for 2 minutes, and two figures appeared at the fork in front of them, trotting towards them.

It was a couple who were eight points like a boy, probably from the Qin family.

The tall middle-aged man walked between the two of them, and looked at Tao Mujia curiously. The boy had already explained the general situation on the phone. He didn't really believe that some freelance writer came here to collect materials, but seeing Tao Mujia's appearance, It also felt impossible.

Tao Mujia smiled politely, "You are Mr. Qin, right? I am the author from city S. I did read the report about Mr. Qin Wenyu in an old newspaper and found it very interesting, so I wanted to interview him, because after reading it I was so excited, I came here without thinking too much, and I really took the liberty to disturb you."

The man laughed amusedly, "Don't bother, don't bother, it's mainly because of our small place, we haven't seen anyone come to interview, but it's getting late now, the old man has been living in the ancestral hall for these years, it's inconvenient to disturb at this time, please No, look..."

Tao Mujia took out 500 yuan from his wallet, "I'm sorry to disturb you, but now you see it's so late, I have nowhere to go, I don't know if I can stay for one night, and I don't know if the accommodation fee is enough , please accommodate me."

"This……"

The family looked at each other and saw that he was alone, and the woman came out and said, "It's fine, it's fate that we can meet, you can stay at our house for one night first, and Lao Qin will take you to meet the old man tomorrow."

The three of them agreed, and Tao Mujia felt relieved.

The woman led the child and walked in front, and the man walked beside Tao Mujia, talking to him in a half-polite, half-standard way.

"It's your first time here, don't know how to call it?"

"My name is Liang An, you can call me Xiao Liang."

"Oh, Liang An..." The man whispered.

"Ok?"

"It's nothing, there is a story from our ancestors, and there is Mr. Liang in it."

"That's such a coincidence. If Mr. Qin knows something, you can tell me, and I can write it down."

"Hey, those things are too far away. The Qin Wenyu you mentioned is my grandfather's great-uncle. According to seniority, he is the ancestor of this child. They don't care much about genealogy in this generation, so it's no wonder you asked him. unknown."

It is very rare for people from more than 100 years ago to be remembered by future generations. Tao Mujia is surprised that the Qin family still doesn't seem to have forgotten.

"You look quite familiar. It seems that there are some deeds passed down in your ancestors."

The man waved his hand and shook his head helplessly, "It's just something insignificant, except us, the Qin family, who are proud of it, so no one else remembers it."

Tao Mujia heard Qin Wenyu's long sigh, he turned his head to look at Qin Wenyu, his transparent soul was flickering under the light, his eyes were full of soreness, but looking at Tao Mujia, he seemed to be relieved.

"At least my family members remember it? It's not too bad."

Tao Mujia nodded slightly.

The four of them arrived in front of the family's door. The woman took her son in, and the man took him to the hall to sit for a meeting. After the hostess tidied up the guest room, he took him up to live.

"You stay here for one night, and tomorrow I will introduce you to people who know our Zhuangzi. Xiaoyang just came back, and we will have dinner together later."

Tao Mujia nodded his thanks, and the host left to go.

Qin Wenyu flew to the window and looked at the distant mountains and rows of trees hazy in the night fog.

"I didn't expect that after more than 100 years, this place has changed so much." He paused, and floated to Tao Mujia's side, "But you can still see the way it used to be."

Tao Mujia was packing up his things. Hearing what he said, he also went to the window to look. Qin Wenyu floated out of the window to point him in the direction.

"At the foot of that mountain is the ancestral hall of the Qin family. When I was young, I didn't study well, so I was always dragged to the ancestral hall to be punished. My hands were red and I was punished for copying."

Seeing the intoxicated smile on his pale face, Tao Mujia asked him, "Then what happened later, did you study hard?"

"Yes, of course I studied hard, but..." Qin Wenyu didn't continue, and Tao Mujia changed the topic tactfully.

"People say that being close to home is timid, but you are not afraid."

"I've been away for so long, what are you afraid of?"

Tao Mujia smiled, but he didn't really find it funny. After hearing what the host said, he wanted to ask Qin Wenyu a lot, but he didn't know where to start.

Qin Wenyu slowly sat down on the window sill, and said softly, "Actually, I'm curious why you came to help me fulfill my long-cherished wish."

"Because...it's a coincidence."

"Really..." Qin Wenyu slightly bent his lips, "When I died, I was not buried in my hometown. After so many years, I can finally come back and take a look."

"Ah? Then you should let me bring the bones back for you."

"It's been too long, it's already dead." Qin Wenyu's eyes became distant, and there was no resentment in his eyes, but sadness surrounded them bit by bit.

Qin Wenyu couldn't remember what it was like to see himself rotten with his own eyes. He only knew that he was too far away from home for too long, and even the feeling of homesickness had become a powerless word.
