Chapter 49

"What do you want to eat, little brother?"

"A bowl of fried rice... um, there are still crayfish this season?"

"Hey, when do you want to eat, don't you have it? Two catties? It tastes very good."

"Then, it's good to have a catty."

"One catty is not enough, the young man stands so tall, it is impossible for him to eat so little."

"No, no, just one catty is enough."

"That's all right, little brother, sit down first, and it will be fine in a while."

Yan Li chose a small table facing the street, stared blankly at the deserted street, and ran out in a hurry without taking anything. Fortunately, he can pay with his mobile phone everywhere now, and because of the isolation before, his ID card was in the Keep it in your pocket, otherwise you won't be able to hide even if you want to.

However, with Du He's ability, it may be a matter of time before he finds himself. Yan Li doesn't think that he can always avoid Du He's pursuit with his own hidden talisman. At any rate, he could first figure out whether his abnormality would cause harm to them.

"Brother, take it easy." After a short wait, Yan Li's order was placed. The shop owner looked at Yan Li's clothes and asked, "Is this the first time you come to Ancheng, brother? You can also go to Ancheng at night this season." It's cold, my little brother is wearing too little."

Yan Li thanked the shopkeeper for his kind reminder, how could he not know the weather in Ancheng?For a long time, besides the city where I stayed, I paid most attention to the weather in Ancheng, but I left all my clothes in Liaocheng.

Pulling up the zipper of his clothes, Yan Li scooped up the fried rice from the street stall, but he didn't touch the crayfish in front of him, as if he just nodded and watched, pretending that there was another person who was good at peeling shrimp Usually eating with myself.

"Huh? Xiaoli? Is it Xiaoli?"

Yan Li raised his head blankly, looked at the person in front of him, and was slightly taken aback: "It's...Brother Fan?"

Liang Fan is a graduate student brought by Yanli's father. He was there when the accident happened at the Yicun archaeological site last year, but he was not at the center of the accident. He was rescued first, and he was not seriously injured.

"It's really you! Why did you come to Ancheng? Several of our students went to your house together before Chinese New Year, but the neighbor said that you sold the house and went to Jincheng." Liang Fan glanced at Yan Li's clothes I didn't know where I was going wrong, and there was a bit of sympathy in my eyes, "I asked your school after the next year, and I found out that you dropped out of school after the accident last year...why? You can also be regarded as a junior, come to us if you have any difficulties, although they are all poor students, but there are many people and there are many ways, it is better than you drifting outside alone."

Yan Li opened his mouth, he really didn't know how to explain to the other party that he really had a good life, besides, even though he was his father's student, that is, he met more during the winter and summer vacations, Yan Li was a bit boring Strictly speaking, I really don't have many personal relationships.

"Thank you, I'm doing fine."

"After the accident scene was dealt with, the archaeological project stopped for more than half a year, and now it has returned to normal progress. I came to the city today to purchase things. What about you? Where do you live? If you have no place, come back to Yi Village with me, since last year Something happened, and now the project funds are a lot more generous, although the conditions are not so good because of local conditions, but the standard of three meals a day is much better."

Yan Li habitually wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but then he thought that the accident more than a year ago might be the starting point of everything, and it was right to go there, so he stopped his rejection and nodded.

Returning to the familiar place, even the borrowed place is the same, but for Yan Li, there is too much strangeness, because after the collapse and re-excavation and cleaning, the appearance looks very different, Yan Li understands They didn't go over to see the scene, they just walked around the periphery, but they didn't feel anything.Ever since leaving Liao City, that flustered and hostile spirit never appeared again, and Yan Li even suspected that what he felt at that time was an illusion.

Liang Fan saw Yan Li wandering outside alone, so he brought him a thick coat: "Xiao Li, you can make do with this coat first, although it's only the end of October, it's only a few degrees here at night, be careful of frostbite gone."

"Thank you, Brother Fan. I don't know which professor has taken over the project now?"

"Professor Xu Zhuoyi." Seeing the blankness in Yan Li's eyes, Liang Fan added a few words, "You may not have seen it. Professor Xu is also in our department. He is in the same research group as Professor Yan. In the outfield, Professor Xu often stays at the back of the school to support, and you hardly go to our school. It’s normal if you haven’t seen it. After Professor Yan’s accident, he took over the follow-up guidance on the scene, and cooperated with the rescue and protection of cultural relics after the rescue. He also helped to take us, Teacher Yan's students. Oh, by the way, it was suggested by him to go to your school to inquire about you before, and it feels like he really wants to find you."

In fact, after Liang Fan said a few words, Yan Li vaguely remembered this person.It's true that he doesn't go to his parents' school very much, and he usually goes to the mission place to meet up, but it's not like he hasn't been there. The only two times he went, he met Professor Xu, who is much older than his parents. Very kind person.It's just that it's been too long, and I can't remember it for a while.

"I saw it when I was a child."

"Hahaha...Xiao Li actually still remembers."

The two turned around, saw Professor Xu walking out, Liang Fan went up to meet him, Yan Li stopped where he was, looking at this Professor Xu who was much older than his impression, it felt like walking into a place that he didn't want to understand. working world of parents.

Xu Zhuoyi pushed his slipped glasses: "When I came last year, you had already left. I didn't expect to miss it for more than a year."

Yan Li really didn't know what to say to this stranger but was familiar with his parents, so he smiled awkwardly.

Xu Zhuoyi patted Yan Li on the shoulder like an old friend: "Walk with me?" Naturally, Yan Li would not refuse.

Hearing this, Liang Fan hurriedly said that there were still things that had not been sorted out, and went back to his residence.

The two of them walked slowly along the road that Yan Li walked just now, and neither of them spoke, until they reached the "Do not enter" sign erected at the excavation site, Xu Zhuoyi asked: "From now on Have you settled in Jincheng?"

If it was a few days ago, Yan Li might have nodded without hesitation, but now, he doesn't know if he can still settle down.

Xu Zhuoyi didn't ask further: "You're still young, so there's really no need to worry." He took out a recording pen from his pocket, "I wanted to give it to you a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to leave school and move cleanly, and I heard that you went I joined Team A, so I didn't continue to inquire about it, and we could meet each other if we were destined, so we just met?"

"This is?" Yan Li looked at Xu Zhuoyi puzzled.

"We discovered it later when we were rescuing cultural relics at the accident site. Old Yan used to carry a recording pen with him at the scene, wrap it in plastic wrap, and record any discoveries and precautions at any time. When we found it, we thought it was broken. I asked someone to repair it. , maybe because it was wrapped in plastic wrap, but I managed to make a rough idea, although I can’t record it anymore, but the things recorded inside are still there.” Xu Zhuoyi said, turning around and looking at Yan Li, “I think, the last part, Maybe it was left to you when Lao Yan was trapped below."

Yan Li subconsciously squeezed the recording pen tightly, but his heart was mostly at a loss. He felt that he should listen to it but didn't really want to.Since the incident happened, his world has undergone earth-shaking changes. He hardly allows himself any leisure time. He only allows himself to tell himself over and over again when he goes home to clean up, that he is gone, that he will never see you again. Memories left.

Right now, he is suddenly told that there is still a "last word" that he doesn't know, but Yan Li only has "the feeling of being close to the hometown".

"Children, every fate in life can only accompany you to the end of your fate. This end is not what you expected, but God's reward. It may coincide with your expectations, or it may deviate from your expectations. But no matter what, enjoy the ups and downs when fate comes, and accept the memories of time when fate leaves. When you are old, you will know that it is nothing."

Yan Li rubbed the recording pen, and in front of this old professor who was obviously very strange but could find a familiar feeling, he said some words that he was embarrassed to say so naturally: "But if you know that your fate with this world is about to end gone?"

Xu Zhuoyi did not answer, but pointed to the excavation site in front of him: "Tell me, these ancestors who have gone through the darkness for thousands of years, did they expect that after thousands of years, future generations will know their fate with this world in this way?"

Yan Li looked at the direction of his finger blankly, millennium?

"However, it was the nobles at that time who could leave traces, and all living beings left no traces."

Xu Zhuoyi smiled in a low voice: "I don't worry, you have concerns in your heart, and you will work hard to live well." After speaking, he patted Yan Li's shoulder and walked back, "Don't think about it when you don't understand it, but just think about it." Go, go, and you will know the answer naturally."

Yan Li looked at the recording pen in his hand, and laughed at himself, yes, didn't he always know the answer when he walked over?When did you start getting withdrawn?Is it because of dependence or because of a retreat?

Yan Li didn't choose to go back to the room he was staying in. He just sat on the floor, outside the empty excavation site, and pressed the recording pen without giving himself a chance to hesitate.

What came first was a rattling noise, interspersed with shallow breathing. Yan Li counted his breathing silently, and suddenly became extremely peaceful.

After a long time like this, someone's voice came out: "Xiao Li..."

Yan Li, who had never shed tears since his parents had an accident, and Yan Li, who thought he didn't have deep feelings for his parents, burst into tears instantly after hearing the sound of "Xiao Li". I can't take it either.

Yan Li didn't know what was wrong with him, he felt that he was not crying because of pain, maybe it was missing, maybe it was wronged, maybe it was overwhelmed, maybe...

"Look at it, the child is going to cry when he leaves me, right?"

Yan Li choked from crying, raised his head with tears in his eyes, and saw the familiar blurry figure open his arms towards him: "Brother, give me a hug."
