Ji Yi got off the high-speed rail, looked left and right, and walked forward following the signs.

There are three words that stand out on various electronic display screens: Nanling Station

The last time Ji Yi was in Nanling, she was still riding in a rickety, stuffy bus. It was hard to get a complete coherent memory of nearly 20 years ago, but she could clearly feel the great changes in Nanling.This unremarkable small town located in the south has developed a good tourism industry in recent years. After the completion of the high-speed rail station, the transportation is more convenient and it has attracted many tourists from other places.

The advertising screens on both sides of the passageway of the high-speed railway station showed Beishan, the destination Ji Yi was going to arrive at. In front of the advertising screen stood two delicate and childish girls. They were staring up at the billboard, discussing something longingly. .

Ji Yi's footsteps were unhurried, and when he passed by them, he just heard them say: "Is Jian Yi really filming here? I wonder if I can see him."

The other girl clenched her fist excitedly, although she didn't speak, she was emotional.

Jian Yi's name Ji Yi has some impressions, it seems that she is a traffic star who debuted through the draft last year.Of course, Ji Yi's impression of this name is not because he is keen on watching boy group talent shows, but because Jian Yi has really exploded in the past two years, and his name and face often appear on various occasions, even if Ji Yi didn't specifically watch it. After passing him, it is inevitable to leave an impression in my heart.

Nanling is just like its city name, with mountainous terrain and mild climate.Beishan in the territory is well-known in the country. About ten years ago, the local government made a decision to increase tourism development, which is considered to be the right way to support Nanling, a city with average development in all aspects.In addition to the development of tourism in Beishan, there are occasional film crews who fancy the natural scenery here and come to shoot scenes.

The two girls were still chatting excitedly. Judging by their appearance, they should only be high school students. It stands to reason that they should still go to school during this irregular weekday. Of course, this has nothing to do with Ji Yi, and he didn't think about it either. Tube.

Ji Yi withdrew his peripheral vision and continued walking, sighing slightly.The two girls who may have skipped class reminded him of the fact that he was unemployed for two months and had a very idle working day, and the fact that the resumes he submitted were either lost or lost, and he felt a little more in his heart. boring.

Ji Yi worked in the previous company for half a year, and he did a good job at first, but the leader at the wine bureau got too drunk and harassed his female colleagues, so he stopped him casually. It's also yellow.

It's nothing, Ji Yi didn't regret protecting his female colleagues, and he also felt that it would not be difficult to find another job. Who knew that the current employment situation is very severe, and his resume made him feel cramped.When Ji Yi was about to stay at home until mushrooms grew, his mother regretted letting Ji Yi practice for a few years for the [-]th time, then his mother gave him a bunch of keys and asked him to go back to Nanling to have a look. When traveling to relax, stop by the ancestral house to see if the house is still in place.

The ancestral house his mother mentioned was left by his grandfather. According to Ji Yi's mother, he visited this ancestral house when he was a child, but Ji Yi has no memory of it.Fortunately, the location of the ancestral house is not difficult to find, and his mother gave him a photo of the ancestral house.

But after all, it is the ancestral house that no one has returned to in the past 20 years. His mother probably has no confidence that the house has not been eroded and destroyed by wind and rain, so just let Ji Yi take a look at it if he can find it. just go home.

Ji Yi walked to the taxi boarding point in the high-speed railway station and stood at the end of the queue.

The cell phone in his pocket vibrated, Ji Yi reached out for the cell phone and found a bunch of keys.He glanced at the phone first, and there was a WeChat message from his mother on the phone. The old-fashioned car talk was nothing more than to let him restrain his temper outside, so as not to affect the personal safety of others.

Ji Yi felt that his mother was making a fuss, since when did he hit someone for no reason.

Ji Yi put down the phone, boredly raised the key in front of her hand, picked it up and looked at it seriously.

It is not accurate to say that it is a bunch of keys, because there are only two keys hanging on the wooden keychain.Due to the years of use of the key, the edges and corners that should have been hard and sharp are now smooth, but other than that, there is nothing special about it.Instead, it was the wooden keychain that made Ji Yi elusive, as he couldn't tell what material it was made of.

The line walked two steps forward, new passengers came up behind Ji Yi, and he put the keys back into his pocket.

The taxi drove smoothly along the way according to Ji Yibao's address, the driver was a local, very enthusiastic, but Ji Yi didn't say a few words after getting in the car, and the driver was silent for a while.

When the car was about to approach the destination, Ji Yi saw the advertising sign of Beishan Scenic Area outside the car window, looked down at the navigation location displayed on the phone, and said casually, "This is really close to Beishan." It is said that such a short distance can lead to development, but the fact is not.

The mountain next to Beishan is half shorter than Beishan. Although it seems to be within the territory of Beishan, the locals know that the development of this place and Beishan is completely out of sync.

This is what the driver said when he got in the car. After hearing this, the driver said again with undiminished enthusiasm: "Yes, in fact, Li Beishan Scenic Area is just a matter of turning over a mountain. If there is a tunnel or something, you can go there. Well, now we have to go around a circle, but it will only take another seven or eight minutes, and it is very close."

Ji Yi nodded.

There are traffic lights ahead.

The driver slowed down the speed slowly, and stopped at the intersection when the traffic light changed color.

The driver pointed to the road ahead: "Look, the road ahead is not well repaired. I told you earlier that there are no people going there. Did you not book a hotel on the Beishan side?"

Ji Yi took a look at the road ahead, and it was indeed very different from the asphalt road they were driving on now.The road surface is not very smooth, it should have not been repaired for some years.Just look at nothing, the contrast is obvious.

The driver then showed a heartfelt expression, "Young man, you are from out of town. Although there are hotels at the foot of the mountain here, it's better not to go there. In this mountain, how should I say it?" He seemed to be Think about how to express yourself euphemistically, "You know that we don't like to pick up the list of mountains here when we drive at night? It's evil."

The driver winked and thought that he had already said almost the meaning, at least Ji Yi should be able to hear it.He likes to chat with passengers when he is driving, and when it comes to this kind of time, most of the passengers will show curiosity and intensify their questions, and he will tell a lot of stories with strong stories about gods, gods, ghosts, and ghosts, but Ji Yi just laughed. He laughed and said, "Oh, is it because the return trip can't be picked up on the Shanzi road going here at night?"

The driver choked, and at this time the traffic light turned green again, and the wheels rolled.He saw that Ji Yi didn't seem to be very interested in this aspect, so he just muttered: "What are the guests who can't take the return trip, I'm afraid that there will be more 'guests'."

Ji Yi looked out the window at the mountain scenery hidden by the bushes and pretended not to hear it.

The driver drove forward for another 5 minutes, and Ji Yi felt that the road under his feet was downgraded again, and the road became narrower. There were some old-fashioned two-story houses on both sides of the road, which looked like they were built in the 70s and [-]s. Recalling that there are a few shops that still use old-fashioned strip wooden doors.

The driver slowed down the speed slowly, "It's almost here, right?"

Ji Yi glanced at the map and confirmed, "Yes, thank you, Master."

He paid with his mobile phone, took his bag and got out of the car.It was only past three o'clock in the afternoon, but because the sun was covered by thick clouds, the sky looked a bit late.

The taxi turned a corner and left along the original road. Ji Yi stood by the side of the road and saw an old bus stop sign when he turned his head.

As the buttocks of the taxi completely disappeared in front of Ji Yi's eyes, as if taking away the last trace of the modern atmosphere that had accidentally intruded here, a few old men were sitting in the teahouse across the road, looking at Ji Yi from across the road. memory.

Ji Yi's eyes also swept away from them, and then carefully looked at the street where he was.He has some impressions of this street, or the bus stop sign he saw when he got off the bus gave him an impression.This stop sign is connected with the hot and cramped bus in his memory, it is a place he has been to before.

In Ji Yi's memory, this small town was not far from his grandfather's house, so he was a little more confident in finding the place.Ji Yi went to those old men who were drinking tea, and asked him the name of a village that his mother had taught him. As expected, all the old men knew it, and Ji Yi quickly used gestures and verbal descriptions to make Ji Yi understand the way to go.

The old men were not at all curious about why a young man like Ji Yi came here, they asked Ji Yi from the ground, "Are you doing some kind of live broadcast?"

They talked and looked at Ji Yi, as if they were looking for some kind of camera hidden somewhere.

Ji Yi shook her head, "No."

He also wanted to say that the old men are quite fashionable, and they even know how to live broadcast.

"No?" The old men were surprised, "Then what did you do in the past, Hongye Village has been vacant for more than ten years."

"The last time a person engaged in live broadcasting went to the mountain over there, and I don't know what happened to him. He was really scared." One of the old men told Ji Yi solemnly.

They saw that Ji Yi was very polite when he spoke and asked, and they had a good impression of him, so they thought that if Ji Yi was also a member who wanted to hunt for novelties, they should persuade him.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yi said with a smile: "My grandfather's old house is there, so I'll go up and have a look."

"Oh." The old men nodded and said again, "The ancestral house is up there, that's okay, we can go."

Ji Yi originally planned to leave directly, but an old man who had been sitting in the corner and hadn't spoken a moment ago stood up and said, "You want to go up, I happen to be going home too, let's go, the tricycle will take you for a ride."

Ji Yi looked at him, and was about to shake her head.

The old man tried to persuade him before he shook his head: "It's going to rain outside, so don't get caught in the rain for a while."

Ji Yi looked outside at the overcast sky that would rain at any time, and felt that the wheels were faster than his two legs, so he nodded and was led by the old man to the side of the road.

The old man's tricycle was parked strangely, and he took Ji Yi around for a while, and when he arrived at the corner of the street, he dragged out an old green tricycle from the side, and let Ji Yi sit at the back.

Ji Yi reckoned whether the thin-looking tricycle could bear the weight of a young man like him, but after hesitating so much, the old man simply pushed him, a little rough: "Get on the car."

Ji Yi sat on one side of her body.

The tricycle swayed slightly because of his movements, but it was still solid, and it didn't fall apart as Ji Yi imagined.

Seeing Ji Yi's quiet and honest appearance, and his polite words just now, as if he was easy to bully, the old man sat down on the driveway with satisfaction: "Let's go, I'll take you home."

However, the uncle's tone was relaxed, but it was a bit difficult to step on the tricycle.He pedaled a few times to make the wheels roll smoothly, and he rode forward with great effort.

After riding for a while, Ji Yi counted the direction they showed her just now, and saw the old man turning to another road, and she wanted to speed up.

"Master, did you ride wrong?" Ji Yi asked.

"How come, this is the way home."

Ji Yi didn't argue, his eyes fell on the clothes of the old man who was pedaling.The dark blue fabric has a few rips where the edges are frayed, and a closer look reveals some fading or perhaps uneven dyeing to begin with.

Ji Yi raised his hand and gently pinched the hem of the old man's clothes, twisting off a small piece of fabric without much effort.It's just that the cloth immediately turned to ashes at his fingertips.

The old man seemed to have sensed Ji Yi's movements, and suddenly turned to look at him, "What are you doing?"

It was probably because the sky was too gloomy, and the old man's face was a little gray against the background, and his unfriendly expression when he spoke made him even more fierce.

Ji Yi, on the other hand, blew off the ashes of paper in his hands indifferently, and said calmly to the old man, "Master, if you don't go on the way, I'll just get off here."

They were already about a mile away from the small town just now, the mountains on both sides of the road were gradually approaching, and the population gradually decreased.There were no people on either side of the road they turned to, but a few solitary graves lying on the mountainside could be seen ahead.

The old man looked at Ji Yi with undisguised malice, and he followed Ji Yi's expression and smiled, like a beast seeing an unsuspecting herbivore, "I want to take you back to my house, What does it have to do with whether you are on the way or not?"

His tone even had a bit of a hooligan version of domineering, and at the same time, his face became more gray and ugly. In order to scare people, blood was flowing from his eye sockets, and he was obviously not human anymore.As long as a normal person can realize that something is wrong with the old man in front of him at this time, most people should also be frightened at this time.

Once a person is frightened, his courage will weaken, and if his courage is weakened, he will be more easily affected by external changes.

The old man stared at Ji Yi closely, feeling very happy in his heart.He just asked Ji Yi if he would like to go home together, and Ji Yi nodded in agreement, this is Ji Yi's promise to him.

Once the promise is formed, it is like an agreement. Ji Yi will either really go back with him, or use other methods to negotiate and break it.A negotiation must give him some benefits, anyway, after all, the old man is sure that he can gain benefits from Ji Yi.

Sure enough, Ji Yi seemed to be scared, frowned as if thinking about it for a while, and said in a flattering tone from the old man: "That's okay, I think you can't ride anymore, do you want me to ride?" , show me the way."

How good this is, the old man and ghost happily changed places with Ji Yi.Trick a living person to go back without pedaling hard.

It's just Ji Yi's reaction that the old man can't help but confirm with him, "You know I'm a ghost, right?"

With her back turned to him, Ji Yi hummed, the bike was riding fast and steady.

The old man ghost thought enviously, he was young after all.

The old man ghost couldn't recognize what brand Ji Yi was wearing, but he could tell that the material of the clothes was not bad, and the tailoring was quite decent, so he thought in his heart that he must get some good offerings from this living person.

At this time, he had completely put away the amiable demeanor he had when he tricked Ji Yi into the car, and directed Ji Yi to ride the car by saying turn left and turn right.The car rode all the way into the mountain and stopped in front of a grave.There are a total of three or five scattered graves here, and one can tell that they are very old at a glance.

The sizes of the graves are different, and the materials of the tombstones are also different. The only thing they have in common is that the front of the tomb obviously looks like no one has worshiped it for many years, and the grass is overgrown and very dilapidated.

"Which is your grave?" Ji Yi asked the old man.

The old man didn't know why, but he still pointed to one of them, and then asked Ji Yi to ask for something, "I like to eat pork head meat, from now on you will come over and offer two to me every Qingming Festival, and there are also various seasonal fruits. Buy some, and burn a lot of paper money, this time, just go and buy some pork, mutton and beef, and deliver it to my house before noon tomorrow, otherwise I will follow you all the time."

Ji Yi held the tombstone with his hand, and could barely make out the words on it, which said that the old man ghost had been dead for almost 40 years.

Seeing that he didn't respond immediately, the old man stretched out his hand to push Ji Yi, but he didn't expect that the moment he reached out his hand, Ji Yi, who seemed to be unaware of it, grabbed him, and then pulled him violently, causing him to lose his balance. He fell hard on the ground.

"Hey, hello, old bone!" The old man fell to the ground and moaned in pain, his gray face seemed humanized because of the painful expression.

Maybe it was his current posture lying on his side, the old man couldn't figure out why, he looked at Ji Yi again, and found that Ji Yi was a little cold, he didn't look much different from before, but he couldn't tell where he looked a little scary.

Ji Yi patted the old man's tombstone with his hand. He had put on a lot of respect for the old and loved the young. At this moment, he was too lazy to pretend. Although he still smiled, it was clearly a sneer.

His action of patting the tombstone also seemed to have a special meaning following his words, "Your house is very weathered." The material of the tombstone has indeed been weathered under the erosion of years of rain, it should be the one used in the first place, and it is not the same. what a rock.

Ji Yi deeply remembers how frightened she was when she first saw a yin thing, but she was still young and it was difficult for her to describe what she saw and heard with words.His mother thought he was weak and sensitive, so she sent him to learn martial arts from an old man in the community for a few years.

Ji Yi studied hard, and his physique gradually became stronger.In the few years that Ji Yi practiced with his master after class, apart from how to find the enemy's weaknesses and make use of his own strengths, the most solid thing he learned was what his master said, "Evil ghosts are also afraid of evil people. "

Evil ghosts are also afraid of evil people, Ji Yi has verified this saying for more than ten years, it is indeed the case, he is also familiar with how to be worse than ghosts.

Before the old ghost realized what Ji Yi's words meant, Ji Yi had already squatted down, stared at the old ghost, patted the tombstone with more force, and said in a harsh tone: "Your house is gone."

No matter how weathered the tombstone is, it is still a stone, with some hardness.But with Ji Yi's seemingly inadvertent pat, a corner unexpectedly fell off.

The old man ghost stared at this heartbreaking scene with wide eyes, and suddenly understood why Ji Yi foolishly followed him back and even pedaled on his own initiative.

It turned out that the idiot was not Ji Yi, but the idiot was himself.
