I asked, "If I don't take over this station, will I be able to be with Yaru in peace?" ”

"As fate would have it, you couldn't escape."

"What is this! What does it mean to be predestined?! ”

I couldn't control my emotions anymore, so I got up and walked outside, "Fuck it, it's the same with you all these years as without you, and I'm not here yet." I don't want your station, I don't want your broken books, I don't want anything, just be with the person I like! ”

I opened the door with a breath, and just took a step out, I suddenly bumped into a person head-on. Before I could see the person's face, the man suddenly raised his hand and pushed me the shoulder.

The man's strength was so great that I was pushed back several steps involuntarily, and I almost sat on the ground.

"Jin Sheng! Don't be rude! Father whispered.

Only then did I see that it was a tall old man with a cold face.

My father did not blame me for my insulting remarks (and I don't think he was in a position to blame me), but he pointed to the person and said to me:

"Kid, I'm out of time. Jin Sheng is the housekeeper here, and if you have anything in the future, you can come to Chenghe Street to find him. ”

"Oh." I was furious, only to answer coldly, and walked out again.

This time, the old man named 'Jin Sheng' didn't stop me, but as soon as I stepped out of the door, I saw a person lying on the ground between the two stone beasts at the door.

Seeing that the figure was facing away from me, and the figure was somewhat familiar, I stepped forward in confusion and turned him over.

Seeing this man's appearance clearly, my head exploded with a buzz.

This man is actually myself!

I just felt a violent dizziness in my head, and then I lost consciousness.

When I woke up, I found myself sitting crookedly in a wicker chair.

When I saw the counter in front of me, I thought I was still at the post station, and I suddenly straightened up. Only then did I realize that the house I was in was not a post station at all.

Although there is also an old-fashioned counter, it is only a small room of less than 30 square meters, and all kinds of furnishings are very old.

"Where is this?" I muttered to myself, thinking back on my previous experience, suspecting that it was just a strange dream.

"This is number 31." A dark voice suddenly came from behind the side.

I was startled, and when I followed the sound, I saw a tall old man, standing in front of a row of shelves at the back, intently wiping something.

"It's you!" I recognized this as the old man who was called 'Kim Sang' by his father.

"Where's my dad?" I finally realized that my previous experience was not a dream.

"He's gone, and in his lifetime, he won't come back." Jin Sheng said, put the things in his hand on the shelf, and turned to look at me with a blank expression.

It was then that I was stunned to find that he had put down a spirit card dedicated to the dead.

And on that row of shelves, there are dozens of spirit cards with similar styles.

His eyes fell on the spirit card he had just put down, and I, who had not yet figured out my own situation, was stunned for a moment, and after a brief moment of stunned, a nameless anger rose again.

On that spirit card, my name is actually written!

"Neurotic!" I jumped up, rushed over, grabbed the spirit card and threw it on the ground, smashing it hard while scolding: "crazy, crazy!" I'm living so well, I don't need you to give me a confession! ”

Jin Sheng didn't stop me, just watched from the side with cold eyes.

I vented and turned my face to glare at Jin Sheng: "Where is the old man?!" ”

Jin Sheng frowned, "You asked this question, and I answered it." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a brown paper bag next to him and handed it to me: "This is left to you by the boss." ”

I finally didn't lose my mind completely, gritted my teeth and took the paper bag, returned to the counter, opened the paper bag, and poured the contents on the counter.

I thought the bag contained the damn broken books and the unopened oiled paper bag, but what I didn't expect to pour out was two keys strung together and a pile of paper-like binding paper.

When I saw the key, I was stunned.

They were two ordinary keys, and I recognized them as belonging to my father, the keys to the house.

Picking up the stack of papers and flipping them open, I was stunned again.

That's actually a property inheritance book!

My father not only gave me the family house, but also gave me the keys that he had with him.

Thinking of the conversation with my father in the post station before, I felt an ominous feeling in my heart, and asked Jin Sheng, "Is he really gone?" ”

Jin Sheng obviously belongs to the kind of person who refuses to talk nonsense, so he only nodded, but said: "My big name is Chen Jinsheng, and I live at No. 14 on this street, if you have any problems in the future, you can come to me at any time." ”

Issue? What's wrong with me?

I can't digest the weird experience anymore, what the am I asking!

I was young and vigorous at that time, and when I saw that Chen Jinsheng looked like he was ignoring it, I was angry, and I didn't ask any more questions, I put away the inheritance book and the key indiscriminately, and strode out.

When I went out, I realized that the sky was already bright.

Passing by the open space between the two houses, I subconsciously stopped, but saw that it was deserted, and there was no ancient building station.

……

From that day on, my father really never came back.

My relationship with my father was not very good, and what he said to me that night added to my hatred for him.

Therefore, I didn't deliberately inquire about his whereabouts, but just handled the transfer of the house, and continued my life as if there was no such person.

Without my family, my lover became my only relative, and as the relationship deepened, I gradually forgot the events of that night.

I think that the old man named Chen Jinsheng, like the old man, is a madman who has gone mad because of something.

I'm a normal person, how can I have any intersection with a madman?

But just when I thought that I would never go to Pinggu again and never see Chen Jinsheng, an extremely terrifying and strange thing happened, which made me have to go to Chen Jinsheng, and my life began to make difficult choices and huge changes.

At that time, Yaru and I had already set a date for marriage, because her father, my father-in-law, was a stubborn old man with an old mind and stubbornness, so we didn't live together.

On that day, a colleague in the unit got married, and my wedding date was not far away, and my relationship with him was not bad.

I didn't drink much, but when I attended the wedding banquet, I still had to drink a few more glasses.

Just when I felt like I was about to die, my phone rang.

At that time, there were no smartphones, and there were no harassing calls, and when I saw that it was an unfamiliar landline number, I thought it was a little strange, but I still picked it up.

As soon as the phone was connected, a low, cold voice came from the receiver:

"If you don't want your lover to die, do as I say."

"Who are you?" Although I was dizzy from drinking, I still struck a hard time when I heard him say this.

"I'm Chen Jinsheng."

Without waiting for me to ask again, Chen Jinsheng said quickly on the other end of the phone: "You rush to Dongjiazhuang immediately, find a willow tree by the river at the head of the village, and cut down the tree as soon as possible!" Be quick, if it's too late, Dong Yaru will die! ”

"Cutting down trees?" I really drank too much, and my brain reaction was a little sluggish, so I subconsciously asked, "There are so many willow trees by the river, which one do you want me to cut down?" ”

The person who called himself Chen Jinsheng said without hesitation: "Look at the shadow of the tree, the shadow of the willow tree, it is the appearance of a person!" ”
