Chapter 24: Arrival

Remember in one second, read wonderful novels for free without pop-ups!

I stared straight at Xiaoqian behind me and subconsciously said, "It seems like I've hit a ghost?"

Xiaoqian showed a sudden look and nodded suddenly, "By the way, it just seemed like she had hit a ghost, which gave people a very strange feeling. Originally, she was in love this time, I thought she would be depressed for a while, but looking at her current appearance, it seemed as if nothing had happened, and it was..."

I didn't listen to what Xiaoqian said, because of my attention, I was attracted by Sister Ning behind me at this moment.

At some point, Sister Ning's face had completely changed.

It was a haggard face, his eyes were like black holes, and he was facing me at this moment, showing a strange smile.

I screamed and jumped up suddenly.

Then there was a muffled sound. I hugged my head and squatted down, hummed for a while, then I found myself squatting on the bed, looking left and right, and found that it was actually in my own room.

I looked at the coffin scripture on my hand and found out that I seemed to be dreaming before. I was lying on the bed and reading a book, and I didn't know when I fell asleep.

I still remember the scene in the dream. When I wiped my forehead, I found my hands full of sweat.

But why do I have such a dream for no reason? As the saying goes, I have thought about it every day and night, but my mind is full of Xu's coffins during the day, so I don't think much about them. Could it be that I have experienced too much in the past few days, so I have such a strange dream?

I shook my head, I no longer think about the things in my dreams, and I will have to drive a car tomorrow morning.

There is no air conditioning in the room in this hotel, only a broken electric fan is blowing, and the hot air blowing out. After sleeping for a while, I sweated all over.

I put down the coffin script in my hand, got up and walked into the bathroom, preparing to take a shower, and flush out the sweat from my body.

While taking a shower with pleasure, suddenly, there was a thud of knocking on the door outside the bathroom.

My whole body shook, my heart also raised, and I recalled the scene in the dream, and asked with some fear, "Who is it?"

"Who else can you be except me? Open the door!"

It was Diao Laojin's voice, and I relaxed and shouted, "The door is not locked, come in by yourself, I'm taking a shower."

When I wiped the water droplets from my head and walked out of the bathroom, I saw Diao Laojin holding my coffin script in his hand, looking at the cover, looking thoughtful.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" I asked.

Diao Laojin shook his head and put down the book: "It's nothing, how are you reading this book?"

"It's not like that. I haven't seen much yet. This book is quite thick."

Diao Laojin nodded and said, "You must read it well and keep it well. This book was passed down from generation to generation by your ancestors. It is said that it can be traced back to the ancestor of your Qin Dynasty."

I smiled and said, "Grandpa Diao, don't joke. The Qin Dynasty has been around for more than two thousand years. It's not even paper yet. I'm using bamboo slips. Even if there are, it's probably going to be ashes until today."

Diao Laojin glared at me angrily: "It's not important, it's not important, it can be replaced. What's important is the things inside. You must read them all and write them down, so that you can't let the things inside be lost."

I put on my clothes, sat down and smiled, "Grandpa Diao, I'm not afraid of you saying that if I had a son, I would definitely not let him carry a coffin. Cremation is popular these days, and it will be popular in a few years, and in a few years, everyone can't afford to buy a cemetery. Everyone will send it to the crematorium, burn it into ashes and put it in an urn and put it on the lattice of the cemetery. Who wants to carry a coffin?"

Diao Laojin snorted: "What do young people know? Is this a matter of carrying a coffin?" As he said that, his mood fell down again and sighed: "Forget it, it's useless to tell you this. You can take a good look, I'm going back."

As he said that, he stood up and walked out of the door. When he came to the door, he paused and turned around and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just sighed slightly and turned around and left.

I watched him disappear at the door, a little confused, and I wonder what Diao Laojin wanted to do when he came here.

I got up and closed the door, and came back to get to bed. Then I found that my grandfather's cigarette pole that had been placed on the bedside table had arrived on the bed. It seemed that Diao Lao Jin had just picked it up.

I didn't think much about it, put the cigarette pole back into the bedside table, then fell on the bed and turned off the light and went to bed.

Tonight is not as cool as it rained last night, and the temperature is very high. Moreover, there are a lot of mosquitoes in this wilderness. Because it is hot and there is no quilt covered, I can't close the windows to make it breathable. I got off all night and was tortured by the heat and mosquitoes, and I didn't fall asleep until I fell to bed. That night, I passed by half asleep and half awake.

The next morning, Diao Laojin came to knock on the door, and I couldn't sleep, so I got up immediately.

Yesterday I asked the hotel owner, and he said that if he wanted to take a bus to Hunan, he had to go to Fengde Town dozens of miles away. Originally, it would be uncomfortable to walk these dozens of miles, but fortunately, the boss said that he would drive to the town to purchase tomorrow morning and take us a ride.

When I went downstairs and walked out with sleepy eyes, the hotel owner's small van had already parked at the door and waited. The boss was sitting in the car and shouting hello to us get in.

I responded and walked over with Diao Laojin. I just got into the car when I saw a red Maybach in front of me also started, which was the car of Sister Ning and Xiaoqian.

I saw only one person sitting in the car, Sister Ning. She didn't seem to notice me, but instead poked her head out of the driver's seat and shouted to the second floor: "Xiaoqian! Hurry up!"

Xiaoqian's voice came from the second floor: "I know, I know, I'll get off immediately. I said you don't drive anymore. The mountain road is so circling, I'm not relieved to drive. I'd better leave it to me. I, Zhang Qian, is known as Junshan female car god..."

A bolt from the blue exploded in my mind. I didn't know what Xiaoqian said later, only those two words echoed in my mind.

Zhang Qian? Isn’t this the name I dreamed of last night?

I met her twice before, but I only knew that her name was Xiaoqian. I had never heard of the exact name. Is it really such a coincidence that what I happened to dream of was her name?

No, right, right, this is a coincidence. Even if Zhang is a big surname, I just dreamed of it. And there are three names in person, so how could he be called Zhang Qian? I had a strange dream about them for no reason, but I actually dreamed of Xiaoqian's name that I didn't know at all. I couldn't figure it out.

Could it be that I accidentally heard her name yesterday, and didn't notice it at that time, and recalled it in my dream? I think this statement is not reliable.

When I came to my senses, I realized that the car had already driven on the road. I grabbed the window and poked my head out to look back. From a distance, I saw a Maybach driving from behind, quickly surpassing our small bread and disappearing at the corner ahead.

"What's wrong?" Diao Laojin's voice came from my ears. I turned my head and saw him laughing, "Do you fall in love with those two little girls? Are you still reluctant to leave when you are leaving?"

At this time, I was not in the mood to respond to Diao Laojin's joke. I just stared out blankly, my mind was in a mess. After thinking for a while, I still couldn't figure it out. The sleepy feeling surged up again when I didn't sleep last night, and I soon fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up again, Diao Laojin woke me up and said that he had arrived in the town.

I rubbed my eyes, got out of the car with Diao Laojin, and thanked the hotel owner for a while.

The boss was very good. He said he didn't want the money we gave him. He pointed us at the direction of the station and then drove away.

Diao Laojin and I said goodbye to the boss and soon found the station and asked. It turned out that there was a bus directly to Hunan here, but it was only 9 o'clock. We went to find a stall to eat something, and got on the bus at 9 o'clock. With the roar of the bus engine, we left the town and walked out of the surrounding area of ​​Luoyang, a mountainous area where I grew up.

It took more than ten hours to take a long-distance bus from Fengde to Yueyang, and it was not available that night. This was the sleeper bus. I slept as soon as I got on the bus. Except for stopping twice to eat and go to the toilet, I slept throughout the whole process.

During this period, I had many intermittent dreams, dreaming of my life in college when I was a child.

Originally, I was only a sophomore in the summer vacation, but judging from the current situation, it is hard to say whether I can continue to go to school.

Before I knew it, I seemed to have gone from an ordinary college student in a mountain village to a somewhat confused wanderer.

When I woke up from my sleep again, I looked at the sky outside and it was already pitch black. The driver shouted loudly that it was almost here and asked us to get off the bus.

I sat up and looked at the night view of the city outside.
