When I rushed into the cave where Brother Chengqing was, my tears had been wiped away, but my eyes were frighteningly red.
Fortunately, it was Brother Chengqing who seemed to have been waiting for me for a long time. He was sitting in front of the small table in the cave with the oil lamp on, as if he was waiting for my arrival.
In fact, I know his habits, because he has been tortured by the pain of insomnia for a long time and has "semi-obsessive-compulsive disorder". He usually forces himself to go to bed within the specified time and then clears his mind, even if it is just boring counting sheep. Lying in bed, and this kind of boredom will never allow anyone to interrupt.
Tonight, it was already past his stipulated time, but he seemed to be waiting for me.
"Do you know?" Brother Chengqing still looked calm and calm, holding the three extremely bright copper coins that he had placed on the table and already caressing, and said to me in a leisurely manner: "I will go there for a long time." People who are in touch with destiny will have some sense of destiny. Tonight, I am not in peace of mind. I made a small fortune telling and answered the word "change", but because I am surrounded by people close to me, I dare not guess what it should be. Who is it, just wait, I didn’t expect you to be the one I waited for, and I’m afraid it can only be you.”
There was a faint smile on the corner of Brother Chengqing's mouth, which was actually trying to calm my mood. I knew that my appearance when I rushed into the house must be scary.
He said jokingly that I was a troublemaker, hoping to lighten the mood.
Perhaps such a calm brother Chengqing can always bring a breath of fresh air to people's souls. I calmed down a little, leaned against his door, and took a long breath. I didn't speak in a hurry. I really needed to calm down.
"Time is running out." Brother Chengqing put away the three copper coins on the table and reminded me, but he did not urge me.
I understood that my encounter with Lin Chen had delayed some time, so I stopped talking about it and said directly to Brother Chengqing: "A piece of news, very reliable, my... half master is in the inner village."
"Ding dong" was the sound of copper coins falling to the ground. Brother Chengqing was stunned. The calm look he had just now was no longer there. After being silent for a few seconds, he stood up suddenly and said to me: "Go find Kisaragi."
After saying that, he started to walk quickly towards the door, toward me, and pulled me out of the door. But after walking a few steps, he said to me again: "No, let's go and inform separately."
Ruyue is the person farthest from the gathering place. Brother Chengqing thought of this and decided that it would be the most time-saving way to notify them separately.
He was also confused, but not as messed up as I was.
Perhaps, such news stimulated us. When we gathered again in that relatively safe open space, it only took less than half an hour.
"If it were today, it would be too hasty. I really advise you to enter the inner village after a few days when you are more confident." Facing a group of people who have gone crazy, only Lu Shan and Tao Bo can stay awake. Ours is Lushan.
This is actually not his fault. After all, he is with us because of various strange reasons and fates. But in essence, Lu Shan has not lost anyone as important as us. The so-called bystander is clear, he cannot understand our emotions, so he must use reason. thoughts to stop us.
"I don't know how to bear it." Brother Chengxin has always been calmer than me, but it was obvious that half the master's words also stimulated him, and he acted more impulsively than me.
After all, Lin Chen and I knew the news when we met, somewhat earlier than they did. We got some buffers and could barely keep calm.
Seeing that Brother Chengxin was no longer elegant, Lu Shan didn't care anymore. He rushed over and took my shoulders and said, "Chengyi, no matter what, I really can't do it tonight, even if I don't want any more unnecessary news." "Hey, where is the inner village? How to get to the inner village? You have to know where your master will be in the inner village, right? Have you forgotten that weird old man..." Lu Shan looked anxious, and then anxious again Said: "Well, even if you don't need to know these, you always have to plan carefully. Don't you care about waiting for an extra day or two?"
I looked at Lu Shan. My thoughts were actually very chaotic, but I gradually calmed down. I knew what Lu Shan said was right. I just knew that the person I had been looking for was right in front of me, and half of him... . This kind of thinking will make people think that they are suffering, so it will stimulate people to go crazy. If they could be completely rational, human beings would have evolved into another species, right
"Chengyi, and all of you, I am not afraid to accompany you to live and die together, even though the most important person to me is not in the inner village, but is sealed in a drum, and this is how we have come along the way. However, I really hope you can calm down. This is my last advice. It’s all up to you to decide, in short, no matter what the decision is.” Lu Shan was also a little emotional, holding his waist with both hands, his eyes a little red. , and then said: "I, Lu Shan, will just accompany you."
"Me too." Tao Bo still looked shy.
I felt a little touched and moved in my heart. Brother Chengqing wanted to say something, but at this time, I am the real senior brother. He has always valued me and maintained this... So, he just moved his lips, After all, nothing was said.
I clenched my fists again, but this time without any hesitation, I just said one sentence in a hoarse voice: "Bear it, let's disperse now. From today on, we will gather every two days once."
Actually, I don’t want to exploit this loophole too often, but now that something is clear, I have to do this. At the same time, I am burdened with something and must make any decision calmly.
As soon as I finished my words, Lu Shan breathed a sigh of relief, and no one expressed any objection to me. Starting from Brother Chengqing, everyone began to disperse silently. This was a tacit understanding, and everyone was lifted up. If you have lost your emotions, if you want to tell anything, it would be too much. It is better to leave silently, hide in a night space of your own, silently, silently...
There are so many things that I don’t know, and I thought we were just gathering and dispersing silently, but there are a pair of interesting and prying eyes everywhere in this world.
---------Dividing line---------
That night, it was like another 'war' in which the lid of memories was lifted and then suddenly closed again with all one's strength.
I always see that afternoon with a sudden thought. In the sunshine, Master's eyes seemed to be full of tears. I heard the song, sister, go forward boldly, go forward, don't look back... Then, there was that night. The silent bamboo forest house, and then a whole day of sitting in front of the promenade, waiting hopelessly.
Such pain had to make me lie on the kang in agony, curled up silently, and covered my ears... .
I had no sleep all night, but I still had to go on, but I was a little anxious.
We started to get together every two days, and even because of some anxiety, we got together every day, but no one could bring any valuable news. I put my mind on the entertainment room. I wanted to After asking more, I even wanted to find Lin Chen, but found that I didn't have enough of the so-called counting paper on me.
So next, should I put down some persistence and earn that point paper? In my anxiety, I struggled a little more!
And everyone was the same as me. We started to have quarrels in our gatherings. On several occasions, people who spoke harshly to each other almost started to fight, but they regretted it. A group of us felt like we were being raped because of the news about half a master. It's like being roasted on a fire, it's being roasted alive.
There was no concept of time in this kind of day. Three days passed in the blink of an eye. It seemed to pass very quickly, but it also seemed to have passed extremely long.
How could we, as time goes by, notice that a big event is about to begin in the Holy Village
The 'newlywed' is going to marry the so-called god. This is an unshakable and first-class event for the Holy Village!
On this morning, the weather was extremely cold. In the blink of an eye, the days had already entered winter from late autumn... Perhaps in order to welcome the arrival of winter, there was a fine amount of snow falling in the sky on this day.
And I wasn't woken up by the familiar music every day, like the music broadcasting gymnastics in elementary school. What woke me up today was the sound of gongs and drums.
