immortal

Chapter 10

There is no roast chicken, my old house is the first one at the entrance of the village.Xiaohua's reaction was self-explanatory, and I didn't recover from it for a long time.With almost a blank mind, he watched the numbers on the elevator buttons keep changing, and with a ding, the door opened.

Seeing that I hadn't moved, the people in the elevator got impatient and asked me, "Are you going down?"

I nod.Squeezed in sideways.

There is only one explanation, he has never been to my old house.To be honest, I really don’t have Xiaohua’s past figure in my memory, but my family members always talk about it, and if I talk too much, I subconsciously feel that I have seen him.But if it really happened, it was many years ago, and Xiaohua might not remember it.

But I still couldn't convince myself in my heart, as if there was a voice telling me, it wasn't right.

No, there must be something wrong.What is Xiaohua hiding from me?

Zhang Qiling stood there leaning against the car door, with a half-smoked cigarette in his hand.He looked up to see me coming out, put out his cigarette without expression, turned around and opened the door of the cab.

I sat down in the car, rubbed my face, he was already starting the ignition, and asked me: "Where are you going?" I silently watched him drive out of the courtyard, pointed in the direction, and said, "I want to buy something."

After hesitating for a while, I took out the keys from my pocket, took one off and put it on the dashboard, and said to him, "I won't go to the store today, you can go around if you want, this is my house key..."

He turned to look at me suspiciously, and I said, "I want to go out for a while, where is it convenient for you to get off?"

He withdrew his gaze, as if speaking to the air, "I'll go with you."

At that moment, I was really vacillating. Ever since he appeared strange things happened one after another, and I just verified with my own eyes that the uncertainty of my novels was also due to half-way fate - or because he once asked, I reconcile Xie Yuchen How long have you known each other.All of this made me deeply suspicious, but what was more intense in my heart was to see clearly what was behind these fogs.If I was overthinking everything, then I should have gone home to see my parents, but thinking about it, it seemed a bit deliberate not to take him with me.

We went to the supermarket to pick out some nutritional supplements for the elderly, bought some drinking water, and set off on the road after eating.

After calling Wang Meng—his voice was filled with uncontrollable joy, so I frightened him a few words around the edges, and lied to him that my mobile phone was connected to the surveillance network yesterday, and his every move is under my control now In the middle, he was dubious and insisted on asking me to tell me what he is holding in his hand now.

I said it was a feather duster, and he immediately wilted.

After eating, I felt sleepy again, the sun was shining on me, I couldn't lift my eyelids, so I simply laid down the back of the chair and stared at the sky outside the window, and fell asleep after a while.

It was already dark when he woke up, and Zhang Qiling was not in his seat.I stared at the roof of the car in a daze, got up and got out of the car to move my stiff legs.It was very quiet all around.Occasionally there is the cry of strange birds, and the dark mountains can be seen, like giants dormant in the dark.The air was cold and humid, and I sneezed right away.He even wore a coat before - I laughed at him when I went out in the morning, saying that he was wearing too thick.At this moment, he no longer hesitated, and put his clothes on directly.

There are so many stars in the sky.

I looked around. This is a small flat land in the mountains, which has been opened up as a highway parking area.Because it is too small, it is not even a service area.Several large trucks were parked.There's an auto repair shop with yellow light bulbs hanging out.It attracts countless flying insects in the mountains.There are several other houses close to the cliff.Lights on.

Turning around, he took the key and locked the car door.I just took a few steps in that direction.From a distance, I saw Zhang Qiling walking towards me.When he saw me get out of the car, he stood there and waited for me to pass by, with a long shadow falling in front of him.

I ran a few steps, and he turned and walked forward silently.

"Where are you going?" I asked him.

"Dinner." He said without looking back.

When we got closer, we realized that the front of the restaurant was very small, with gauze curtains hanging to prevent flying insects. Both of us had to bow our heads and enter the room.There are only two storefronts, but there are many people sitting there, most of whom are probably passing truck drivers.An old TV was placed on a cabinet against the wall. The signal was not very clear, but everyone in the room was watching it attentively.

He ushered me to sit down at a table against the wall, where the food was already served.The serving utensils are all ordinary blue and white large bowls, which are old and the edges are also damaged. One bowl is full of catfish and tofu, and the other bowl is soup with a layer of white radish floating on the surface.Rice is packed in big wooden tubes.The boss brought one and let us eat whatever we want.

He took out two pairs of chopsticks, handed me a pair, and signaled me to eat quickly with his eyes.I scooped up a spoonful of soup and brought it to my mouth, and my eyes widened as soon as I took the first bite.

He looked at my expression, seemed to be smiling, and lowered his head to eat.

I didn't care about talking nonsense with him anymore, I devoured a meal, and only when I was half full did I have time to talk to him.

"How do you know...?" I hiccupped.

He caught a piece of fish meat on his chopsticks, and seemed to check for any thorns, but he stretched out his long arm and put it into my bowl, before saying, "So I ate it."

It is true that this is not what I asked... I buried my head in eating that piece of fish, and it took me a long time to realize how ambiguous our situation is, but what he did was natural, and I seemed to eat it as I should, and my face immediately turned. When it started to burn, he hurriedly picked up his bowl and filled a bowl of soup.

"This radish soup is stewed... You should also drink more."

He nodded.
