Ghosts go the same way

At first, the car was still driving on the national highway, but after a day, Uncle Zhou and the other one went nowhere.When the two of them came back at night, one was driving a half-worn Wrangler, while Zhou Bo was driving a brand-new and flamboyant bright pink Hummer. The whole thing was a King Kong Barbie.

I really don't know what Zhou Bo's aesthetics are like?

Xiao Jiu and Tuesday looked at Uncle Zhou at the same time.In fact, judging from his appearance, it is no problem to say that Uncle Zhou is Brother Zhou or even Brother Zhou.Spotting the sight of the two of them, Uncle Zhou blushed instantly: "I can't help it either, I found these two thick-skinned cars nearby."

With fingernails, everyone knows that these two cars are not on the right track.But Xiao Jiu didn't say much, he just dragged Tuesday into the back seat of the Wrangler immediately.He can't bear to sit in a pink Hummer, King Kong Barbie is only a few people's aesthetics after all.

Xu Ganyu, who has no body, also dragged Uncle Zhou over in the next second. Uncle Zhou showed embarrassment to the ghost colleague who moved away from the driving seat, but he did not refuse.Only those few people left, their faces were not very good, transferred their luggage from the original car to the two thick-skinned cars-they had a lot of luggage, but it was not for food and clothing, but opaque one by one. Xiao Jiu didn't ask what was in the storage box and the small refrigerator.

From the time they changed the car, the car turned a corner, left the national road, and entered the wilderness.Even though Xiao Jiu is not a road idiot, he grew up in the city. The biggest "survival in the wild" before that was digging ancient tombs with the old man, but that was also in a populated place.Now, on both sides of the car were the same trees in his eyes, and in front of the car were lush weeds that seemed to be able to pierce the windows of the car, and he couldn't help but feel at a loss.

There are many mosquitoes and flies in the field, and they are all in groups. When the car drives into the grass, sometimes it will fly up with a buzzing sound.Xiao Jiu had never tasted the feeling of being bitten by insects in his life, but his scalp felt numb when he saw the patches of insects.After driving for a long time, Xiao Jiu's brows became more and more wrinkled due to another strange feeling of awkwardness.

——There are quite a few bugs, but not to mention animals, not even a crow flies by.

Of course, this kind of place can't be like a real wild forest, but rabbits, foxes, wild cats and dogs should not be uncommon.This situation is definitely not normal.

"Already very close?" Xiao Jiu couldn't help asking.

"Well, there are still two days to go, but we came back a bit early, and we should have to rest outside for two days before we can wait for the time."

"Time?" Xiao Jiugang wanted to ask what time, but suddenly he thought of it, "Ghost Festival?"

People in their line of work also look at the solar calendar, but they pay more attention to the lunar calendar, or the solar terms and various special festivals.This is also the first thing that the old man and Sun Liang, who is still in the hospital, taught Xiao Jiu after he became a teacher. At the same time, he also gave him a super large paper desk calendar, which was placed on the table in the hall.

Although things are so busy these days, the desk calendar will still pass your eyes when you come and go. It is also a major festival in the circle. The old man also said that when the time comes, the family will have to make a way, but...

Xiao Jiu suddenly remembered something and took out his phone.Sure enough, the screen of the mobile phone was black, the kind of black screen that was completely out of power.Xiao Jiu couldn't help but miss the old-fashioned mobile phone in the past. Although it can't play games and doesn't have so many messy functions, at least the standby time is long enough, which is more useful for people who don't play games very much and just make calls.

The old man must have contacted him, but missed it.Also, it turned out that the brothers in the dormitory even invited him out to eat, barbecue or something?He also forgot to tell them that he couldn't go.

"It's Ghost Festival. At that time, the gate of ghosts opens. It's the time when the boundaries between the two sides are the most blurred, and it's also the time when we can exert our best strength." Zhou Bo looked at Xiao Jiu, waited for him to hold the phone for a while, and his expression was slightly sober. Only after I explained.

"Camping is pretty good too." Xiao Jiu smiled, "By the way, Dad, how is Xiao Chongxuan?"

"He..." "What you want to ask more is how is your father?" Uncle Zhou and Xu Ganyu opened their mouths at the same time, but Uncle Zhou closed his mouth after saying a word, and Xu Ganyu finished speaking.But as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ganyu was obviously taken aback, and then even if he was a ghost, he could clearly see that his expression was wrong—obviously he mistook Xiao Jiu's call of dad just now, and it was him.

"Xiao Qian won't live for more than two years, Xiao Chongxuan will be fine in the future." Uncle Zhou's voice was a little sandy, not dry and astringent, but thick and gentle, and his peaceful voice always gave people a sense of comfort. a feeling of.Especially when comforting Xu Ganyu, it is the most effective, no matter what he said.

The embarrassment gradually dissipated, and as a ghost, he coughed: "After a long time, Xiao Chongxuan will think that what he experienced before was just a dream, marrying a wife and having children...can anyone be better than him? Xiao Chongxuan Qian...an ordinary mortal is my body, although I have rarely used it these years, but he will not live long, do you really think there is immortality in this world?"

"You lied to him?"

"It's not cheating, it's just a transaction of equal value. He wants money and power, and I just want a place to stay. I gave him money and power, let him enjoy it for free, and he gave me a place to rest, and I will borrow it when the time comes." I use it. It's just that when he wants to live forever, I didn't say anything."

He didn't say anything, but with a person's imagination, or the imagination of a greedy person who has already received benefits, not saying anything is indeed more intriguing than saying a lot, right?

"Insufficient greed." Xiao Jiu shook his head. At this time, he was in a complicated mood, but it was not because he heard the "death news" of his blood-related father: "You said more than ten years...then..." I haven't asked yet. Xiao Jiu, who was frowning, suddenly smiled, "Forget it! It's okay, don't answer, it's fine."

I kept silent all the way, so why are there so many questions now?Everything is fine.

"This is probably your last chance, is it really 'forget it'?" Xu Ganyu stared at Xiao Jiu closely and asked.

"It's not true, is it cooked?" Xiao Jiu said a cold joke, but he didn't want anyone to laugh, he turned slightly, and put his arms around Tuesday, "I'll sleep." He said simply, With his eyes closed and his forehead resting on Tuesday's shoulder, he looked really relaxed and comfortable, as if he had put everything down and "waited to die" with peace of mind.

A day later, when they arrived at the place, Xiao Jiu thought that it was probably a wasteland. When he got there, he saw that the wasteland was indeed a wasteland, but it was different from the messy books he thought.Here is a rocky beach, scattered gray and white stones of all sizes everywhere, not even a root of grass can be seen, and the insects that drove in groups before the car are even rarer.When Xiao Jiu stepped on the ground, he felt a gust of cool air pierce through the soles of his shoes, starting from the soles of his feet upwards.

"It turns out that there are no gravels here." Xu Ganyu pointed to the place where the small stones are most dense, "A few years ago, uh... about 30 or [-] years ago, someone came here to mine stones, blasted them twice with dynamite, and then... ..." He pursed his lips, his expression could not tell whether it was ridicule or pity, "and at least the official statement is that there is a leak of radioactive material here. In fact, what they blew up are just remnants that didn't even get into that place It's just a little scum here."

"You don't need to keep implying the importance of my seal. If I promise, I won't go back on my word."

The place is here, the waiting time is next.Xiao Jiu couldn't fall asleep that night, because the "cold air" was worse at night than during the day, not to mention that there were three days before the Ghost Festival, and things here were getting more and more active every day.From dusk, Xiao Jiu began to hear vague voices, some crying, some laughing, some screaming, some moaning, some intermittent voices, and even broken singing...

This is a sound that can't be stopped even if you cover your ears. People who sleep hard will be woken up.The next day, Xiao Jiu got up and ate something, and went back to the car to catch up on sleep, but he became nocturnal during the few days of waiting.

On the day of Ghost Festival, although Xiao Jiu still didn't sleep the night before, he did not catch up on sleep during the day.Because Xu Ganyu and the others are already preparing, the things in the storage box and the small refrigerator will finally see the light of day.

In the past few days, a clean area about four meters square has been sorted out on the gravel ground. Blood comes first. Blood bags neatly stacked one by one were taken out of the small refrigerator. Bags fall from generation to generation.

They went to places where there was blood, some with soil under them, and some with large rocks on the ground, but no matter where they were, the blood that poured down was like water poured into the desert, and it seeped into it in the blink of an eye. Where did it go, leaving only a clean ground.
