reincarnation train

There was only the sound of breathing in the carriage, and there was a rare silence. After a while, the sound of footsteps and voices began to spread. Just when Wu Xiajiu was about to go back to the room, Sasha's horn sounded again.

"Welcome all passengers to come back. The 13th station of Loulan ancient country tour is over. There are a total of 1196 return passengers. After 3 days, the train will arrive at the 12th station. Please prepare well, thank you for your cooperation."

After the broadcast ended, the carriage returned to silence again.

Wu Xiajiu twitched the corners of his mouth, and at the same time Shang Zuo looked at each other, "104 people..."

Shi Shangzuo stroked his back, "At least... a little less than I imagined."

The two bid farewell to Tang Yunsi who was waving their hands, and went back to the seventh carriage. Halfway there, Wu Xiajiu stopped and looked at the empty door, where the nameplate was gone.

Obviously, those who did not come back would not even keep their houses, and there was no trace of the disappearance of the nameplate of the room number.

Wu Xiajiu sighed and said, "If one day the nameplate in my room also disappears..."

Shi Shangzuo immediately answered, "Then you can move in and live with me."

Seeing his extremely expectant expression, no amount of emotion disappeared. Wu Xiajiu expressed his touch, but rejected his proposal, and shut him out, telling him to go back to the room early to wash his face.

The three days on the train passed quickly, and on the last night, the announcement sounded on time again.

"Hello, passengers and friends. The train will arrive at the 12th station tomorrow. Passengers are requested to arrive at the train hall on time at 45:12 a.m. and get off in line. The 10th station is the ancient village of Buddha, and the train will stop here for [-] God, please hurry up and get on the bus within the limited time, and finally, I wish you all a good time.”

At this time, Shi Shangzuo and Tang Yunsi were both in Wu Xiajiu's room, besides the two, Fang Zi and Lu Nan were also there.

During the three days, because of the frequent exchanges, they got to know each other a little better. Lu Nan regarded Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo as benefactors, while Fang Zi felt that he had found a friend who suited his taste. So at this time, several people Get together and listen to the messages that are broadcast.

"The ancient village of Buddha, is it a village this time?" Fang Zi asked curiously, "But why is it called Buddha?"

Tang Yun said, "This time it's 10 days, 3 days more than last time. I don't know if I need to bring things down."

"It's okay to bring some, who knows what kind of village is under the car, what if... it's the same as the one in the desert?" Shi Shang said on the left, picking up the candy that Wu Xiajiu put on the bed, Watch them chubby slip into the crack of the pillow, and then be picked up by the owner one by one.

Before getting out of the car, no one knew what the condition of the village under the car was. After discussing for a while, they each went to get some things and went back to the room.

When they stepped into the world under the car the next day, the situation was obviously much better than they had imagined.

The air is fresh, the mountains are clear and the water is beautiful, and there is a towering mountain in the distance. The quaint house is hidden in the mountain. The gurgling water passes here, and you can see fish swimming in it. Opposite is a road up the mountain, and there is a short bluestone slab in front of it. , and then look up is the name of the village, Buddha Ancient Village.

"If it wasn't for the reincarnation train behind me, I would have thought I had arrived at a certain tourist destination." Fang Zi supported Professor Zhou, stood aside and muttered softly, looking at the cool river water, he really wanted to tease him.

The village looks very large. On the top of the hill in the distance, there are still sharp roofs. The red lanterns are slightly swaying in the wind, and a little color is particularly obvious in the green hills.

A few people carried bags on their backs into the mountain, the spacious road gradually narrowed, and there were many antique buildings around, stones, wooden houses, and detailed carvings, which looked like an ancient and culturally rich stockade.

However, after walking for such a long time, Wu Xiajiu and others did not even see a single person, but the door of the house was open, and there were still peppers drying in the air. on the bench.

Fang Zi yelled a few times towards the inside, but there was no response. Of course, no one came out. This ancient village is very quiet.

Just when a few people were going to go in and have a look, they suddenly heard a noisy sound from a distance. After following the sound, they realized that it was not that there was no one here, but that all the people in the village had gone up the mountain. At this time, they had just come down from the mountain. Be seen by other passengers.

The residents in the village were not at all curious about the sudden appearance of them, so a person in charge of the village, surnamed Li, came out and warmly arranged for them to live in the village.

Wu Xiajiu and others were all together, and they were assigned to a small two-story building. The owner was a middle-aged woman in her 40s. She settled them down and went out with a smile on her face.

Wu Xiajiu put his backpack on the bed. The bed here is next to the window. After opening the window, you can see a green mountain range outside. Everything in the room is very simple, except for the bed and the table and chairs.

Shi Shangzuo leaned against the table to discuss the residence with a few people. In fact, it was not a negotiation, he just stayed here and no one could separate him from Jiujiu.

Fang Zi and the others have no objections. Fang Zi wants to share a room with Professor Zhou, and the rest is Tang Yunsi and Lu Nan. Only Wu Xiajiu has an opinion, but even if his opinion is expressed, he must Being ignored, he simply listened and stopped talking.

After allocating, Fang Zi sighed, "As far as the current situation is concerned, this village still looks quite normal."

After he finished speaking, Lu Nan frowned, "But, I found that there are no youths or children in this village, they are all elderly people."

"Hey, it's normal. Usually, in such a remote village, young people are laborers. They have to go out to work. As for the children, they were taken away together... right?" As he spoke, Fang Zi also felt wrong.

Tang Yunsi spoke out for him, "Children and old people should stay behind. How could they go out to work and bring their children with them?"

Wu Xiajiu said, "Why do you think so much? Maybe this is just the setting under the car. There are simply no youths and children."

Maybe that's the case, there's nothing to say, they went back to their rooms, looked at the man sitting at the table with his chin propped up, Wu Xiajiu turned his head and glanced at the bed, and when he saw the two quilts, he was obviously relaxed. Take a breath.

Shi Shangzuo wanted to laugh, but held back, raised his lips and said, "If a quilt is not enough, I can hug you to sleep."

Wu Xiajiu said, "It's enough, I'm still afraid of the heat."

But he was quickly slapped in the face by himself. Just at night, a light rain began to fall outside the window. Although the raindrops were not big, they brought a shivering cold.

This strange weather is very strange, there is no wind outside the window, but the cold air comes in through the window cracks bit by bit, slowly soaking through the warm bedding until it becomes damp and cold, and people shiver from the cold.

Unable to take it anymore, Wu Xiajiu muttered to himself, lifted the quilt and sat up, and then wrapped it around his whole body, even his head was covered, only his white and tender cheeks were exposed.

Outside the window, besides the sound of rain, there is also moonlight shining in through the window paper, without even turning on the lights.

After Wu Xia sat up for a long time, Shi Shangzuo also sat up. The difference was that his quilt was only on his lap, his upper body was exposed, and he looked at him with his arms propped up, "Is it cold?"

Wu Xiajiu looked at his muscles enviously at this moment, wondering if the fleshy ones would not be afraid of the cold, then moved his eyes down, looking longingly at his quilt.

Shi Shangzuo could see his longing, spread the quilt on his lap without moving, and asked the question again, Wu Xiajiu nodded reluctantly, and whispered, "It's cold."

"Delicate." Shi Shangzuo's smile softened his brows and eyes, and he looked handsome under the clear moonlight.

Wu Xia watched for a long time, then suddenly stretched out a foot from under the quilt, and kicked him, "I'm a man!"

Shi Shangzuo grabbed his feet all of a sudden, and the cold soles of his feet were pressed against the warm palms of his hands, causing Wu Xiajiu's toes to move unconsciously. Just as he was about to say something, he was dragged along his ankle the next moment.

Before the man could react, Shi Shangzuo quickly peeled off the quilt on him, put his arms around him, and put two more quilts on his body, wrapping him firmly in his arms.

The moment the quilt was lifted, Wu Xiajiu shivered, but soon his whole body seemed to be wrapped by a stove, warming to the heart.

Unconsciously sighed, Wu Xiajiu shrank back and didn't move.

"Go to sleep." Shi Shang put one arm on his left as a pillow, and wrapped the other around his waist.

I had no dreams all night and slept so well that Tang Yunsi knocked on the door for a long time the next day, but no one made a sound. He thought something happened. When he opened the door and went in, he saw the quilt on the bed. I went to sleep in the bed.

Tang Yunsi was somewhat prepared, but Fang Zi, who was following behind, was dumbfounded, "He...they..."

Tang Yunsi's expression recovered at this moment, and he said with a normal expression, "Well, the two of them have a good relationship." After that, he pushed Fang Zi to go out for dinner, and called out before leaving, also called Wu Xiajiu and the two of them Go down, or if he comes here now, he will also ask them to eat.

Wu Xiajiu looked at Shi Shangzuo expressionlessly, "Did you hear that?"

Shi Shang said, "What did you hear? Eat? I heard it."

"...I mean the knock on the door."

"Oh, this." Shi Shangzuo said slowly, "I heard that, I don't bother to talk about it."

Wu Xiajiu: "..."

Well, what else can he say, the reason is strong.

After kicking the quilt, he got up, dressed and washed. When he waited, Tang Yunsi and the others hadn't finished eating, but the hostess had already gone out to do farm work.

"Here, the cakes baked by Aunt Wang." The owner of this small building is surnamed Wang. In the morning, he made rice porridge and noodle cakes, and served them with a few dishes of side dishes. The taste was not bad.

Tang Yunsi handed him a plate of noodles, and there was a large bowl of rice porridge on the table.

Fang Zi was chewing a side dish, his eyes flicked between Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo, and when Wu Xiajiu looked over, he lowered his head like a frightened little hamster.

Not knowing what was going on with the apprentice, Professor Zhou glanced at it and was drinking the second bowl of porridge.
