I'm dead again [quick time travel]

Li Chenzhou's voice was very soft, and his tone was very flat, as if he just said a sentence casually, without any other emotions.

Like a little bee, it stung Qiao Jiu's heart.

Qiao Jiu took a breath and threw the invalid talisman on the ground.

Li Chenzhou didn't speak anymore, Qiao Jiu continued to draw symbols.

Only he himself knows how slow his writing speed is.

Li Chenzhou was sitting outside the door, obviously so far away, but Qiao Jiu felt that he was sitting beside him, staring straight at him.

He didn't like this feeling, uncomfortable.

Qiao Jiu lowered his eyes and put down the pen in his hand.

Li Chenzhou looked at him: "Did you finish the painting?"

Oddly enough, Qiao Jiu nodded.

Li Chenzhou asked again: "Are you going to stay here forever?"

Qiao Jiu nodded.

"Evening too?"

nod.

"How long will it be?"

"Seven days."

Li Chenzhou nodded.

Qiao Jiu felt that he might not say anything more, because usually Li Chenzhou didn't seem to talk much.

Unexpectedly, Li Chenzhou spoke again: "Qiao Jiu."

"Ah."

"Where are you from?"

Qiao Jiu lowered his head: "Xunzhou."

Qiao Jiu usually doesn't talk much, one is that he doesn't want to talk, and the other is that he won't give others the opportunity to keep asking him.

But at such a noon, he gave.

One is outside the door and one is inside the door.

One question, one answer.

Qiao Jiu couldn't tell why, he just wanted to see Li Chenzhou smile more and listen to Li Chenzhou speak more.

In this moment, he attributed this feeling to the fact that he was too alone, and he had been alone for too long.

So he wants to talk to people.

Li Chenzhou only asked basic questions, he knew how to control the situation, and he didn't ask any questions that violated privacy.

Later, he also told Qiao Jiu about his past events. He had traveled to many places and experienced many things, and he could tell Qiao Jiu directly as long as he adapted it a little.Different from the usual Li Chenzhou, at this time he was telling wonderful stories. Qiao Jiu listened to him, and the picture scrolls in front of him were spread out one by one, as if he had been to those places and experienced those stories.

In fact, he has been to many places, but he never seems to feel any fun. Every time he comes and goes in a hurry, but with his temperament, even if he has time, he will not pay attention to these things around him. Little things, little things.

He propped his chin and looked at Li Chenzhou.

he looks...

So lovely.

Is that how you describe it?

Joe didn't know for a long time.

He just looked at Li Chenzhou, and felt that the impression of this person in his mind seemed to become a little clearer.

"Why do you come to Huaizhou?" Qiao Jiu asked.

Li Chenzhou paused, then said with a smile, "Guess."

Qiao Jiu was not used to Li Chenzhou being so lively.

"Investigating a case?"

Li Chenzhou admitted it happily: "Yes."

"Oh." Qiao Jiu stopped asking and closed his eyes.

From this day on, the sun has been very big, and the days have been very long. When the sun rises, the moon sets, and when the moon sets, the sun comes out. The transition is very short.

Qiao Jiu has been staying in the ancestral hall, and Li Chenzhou has been with him. At night, when Qiao Jiu opens his eyes, he can see Li Chenzhou with his eyes closed outside the door.

It's a wonderful feeling.

Qiao Jiu didn't know how to describe it, it was as if there was a seed in his heart that was slowly sprouting and was about to break out of the ground, young and fragile yet full of vitality.

Qiao Jiu watched carefully, not even daring to touch it.

But I can feel that slight joy that cannot be ignored.

Li Chenzhou told him many things.

The beauty in life, the subtle touches, the joys and sorrows encountered.

Everything around him is dull, and the good things are forgotten at the touch of a touch.He used to live in a glass enclosure, no matter how beautiful the things around him were, they were separated by a layer, but at this time, he experienced this kind of beauty from another person's mouth.

He never gave anyone else this chance.

He gave this opportunity to Li Chenzhou.

Without his own knowledge.

He saw the leaves blown down by the wind and landed on Li Chenzhou's head.

It was the middle of the night, the moonlight was like water, and when it hit Li Chenzhou, he could clearly see the man's handsome side face, with a straight nose and long eyelashes.

Qiao Jiu stared at Li Chenzhou, not realizing that something was wrong with him.

He has always been insensitive to his emotions.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Gu Fang came to deliver meals to Li Chenzhou on time every day. Every time he came, he could see their calm and powerful leader sitting outside the door and talking, while Qiao Jiu inside listened expressionlessly.

Cool and quiet, the antique house, occasionally the wind blows the leaves, the leaves fall slowly to the ground, and the two people are good-looking, one is talking and the other is listening, the scene is extremely harmonious, Gu Fang actually feels a little romantic, just like making a movie like.

Although they are men...

But maybe, should, probably, there's nothing wrong with that.

Gu Fang put down the rice in his hand and ran away in a hurry.

People from Huaizhou also come here often, queuing up every day to throw amulets into the porcelain basin, and the fire in the porcelain basin has never been extinguished.Qiao Jiu sprinkled the burnt ashes around the coffin.

It is reasonable to say that after so many days, those ashes should have increased, but in fact, the weight is the same as the first day, and it seems that it has not changed at all.

On this day, Qiao Jiu finally replied to Li Chenzhou's words: "Tomorrow I will be in the coffin."

Li Chenzhou was taken aback: "Huh?"

Qiao Jiu looked at him: "Call Tang Qing over for me."

Not polite at all.

Li Chenzhou reacted quickly: "Okay."

"Forget it," Qiao Jiu didn't know what to think of again: "I'll go find him myself."

After speaking, he became silent again, and Li Chenzhou did not speak.

After a long while, Qiao Jiu moved his fingers suddenly without looking up: "When are you going to find someone?"

"Huh?" Li Chenzhou looked at her with a surprise that couldn't be ignored: "After you finish the matter, I have to go out with you."

"Oh," Qiao Jiu said, "Hurry up, I won't wait for you."

Li Chenzhou didn't know what he thought of, the expression on his face froze for a moment, and then he smiled: "Okay," he said, "I will hurry up."

Qiao Jiu was indifferent: "Oh."

Li Chenzhou started laughing again.

Qiao Jiu really didn't understand where his smile was, so he looked at him expressionlessly.

Li Chenzhou put away his smile and pointed to the corner: "What is that?"

Qiao Jiu looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a piece of exposed black.

Qiao Jiu's pupils constricted, and he walked quickly to the corner, and lifted the blank paper covering it. He threw the white paper into the sky, and then fell down one after another. Li Chenzhou saw Qiao Jiu and the things in front of him.

It was a coffin.

Black ones, exactly the same as the four outside ones, coffins.

Qiao Jiu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he took a few steps back unconsciously.

There must be something wrong, but where exactly?

He stood there blankly, thinking about what he had encountered along the way.

Seeing that his expression was not right, Li Chenzhou said after a while: "What's wrong?"

Qiao Jiu didn’t answer him.

As the sun rose, Qiao Jiu walked to the center of the ancestral hall, threw the charms on the four coffins, and walked out the door.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the grass on the side of the road was also tanned. Qiao Jiu walked quickly, and Li Chenzhou walked out behind him.

Turning around, they came to a house.

It was Xiao Xing who opened the door. Xiao Xing was very happy to see Qiao Jiu today, and immediately hugged his leg.

Qiao Jiu was expressionless: "Where's your grandfather?"

"Grandpa is at home." Xiao Xing said, "I'll call him."

Qiao Jiu nodded.

Xiao Xing turned her head and shouted into the room: "Grandpa!"

The old man came out quickly and saw a smile on Qiao Jiu's face: "Come in and sit."

Qiao Jiu shook his head, and went straight to the point: "What's with the other coffin?"

The smile on the old man's face paused.

Qiao Jiu looked at him sharply.

Time passed by and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Li Chenzhou was sweating. He didn't know what Qiao Jiu and the old man were talking about, but judging from the expressions on their faces, it was definitely not a trivial matter.

Xiao Xing looked at Qiao Jiu in a daze, then at his grandfather, and finally at Li Chenzhou.

"Oh," finally, the old man sighed: "That's all."

He looked at Qiao Jiu with complicated eyes: "This matter should not be spread to outsiders, but you are not an outsider after all."

Speaking of this, he looked at Li Chenzhou, Li Chenzhou understood, and was about to avoid it, but the old man said again: "You can stay here, there is nothing you can't listen to."

He didn't seem to notice the contradiction in his words, and said calmly: "You should know that the coffins in Huaizhou are all specially made, from the beginning of making to the actual burial, you can't leave the ancestral hall. "

"Huaizhou is full of ghosts, and the entire village is buried underground. The Jiang clan has guarded Huaizhou for more than [-] years, and has never slacked off for a single day. This is our responsibility and our destiny."

"God has given us magical powers, so we have to do something. Do you know our abilities?" He looked at Qiao Jiu, and without waiting for Qiao Jiu's answer, he continued: "We can count misfortunes and blessings, and we know our destiny. But what's the use of this? We can only stay here and wait for those people to arrive."

He looked at Qiao Jiu, but it seemed that he was looking at something else through him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I went out when I was young and saw the outside world, but in the end I had to come back in a state of embarrassment and stay at the Live the rest of your life here."

"We're old, and we've lived enough." He looked at Xiao Xing who was standing beside him, "But they're still young, and they have their own ideas, so we can't make decisions for them."

He looked at Qiao Jiu: "Tell me, what should I do?"

Qiao Jiu's mind was spinning quickly, and all the things he had never noticed before came to his mind at once. He knew that Huaizhou was all of the same clan, but he didn't know their surname Jiang; he knew that some people who died would return to Huaizhou , but maybe they came; he looked at the names of the dead, but he didn't find anyone with the surname Jiang.

A voice in his heart told him it was impossible, but what was impossible?

Qiao Jiu thought, nothing is impossible.

He looked at the old man: "I'm running out of time."
