The whole world prevents me from jumping into the river

What you sow, you will reap.You get what you pay for.

Sow in spring, the grass is luxuriant and the trees are flourishing, and harvest in autumn, the fruit is luxuriant and the branches are falling.

Was caught by the security office by the river, and there were various versions of the story of someone destroying the fence when the expert team arrived. I like my tone of voice.

In fact, once she said it, she forgot it. She told others, but no one took it seriously.

What I got was gossip talk. Everyone passed by the river and walked around subconsciously. A group of college students engaged in feudal superstition and told all kinds of fabricated stories. There are people who really believe that something is going to happen somewhere by the river and don't pay attention at all.

Only Xu Zhihuan would pay attention to Su Ruanruan's words.

But it is not without reason that Xu Zhihuan has been single.

Xu Zhihuan called at 01:30 in the evening.

At 01:30, everything was silent, the entire land island was covered by a black curtain, only a few small holes revealed bits and pieces of light—and the bedroom was completely covered by the night, as if it was suffocated and there was no light.

The phone screen lit up, buzzing, the bedside table was covered by a funnel of light, and even the ceiling was equally bright - Su Ruanruan turned over and stared.

Hesitant to speak foul language.

Xu Zhihuan's three words are well-behaved, Su Ruanruan swallowed the curse that was about to blurt.

Tao Anan gave Xu Zhihuan's evaluation that he was not good at interacting with girls, Su Ruanruan felt more and more that this evaluation was pertinent and appropriate.Xu Zhihuan is good at many skills. Although his appearance is not so good that he can be called a little brother, he still has facial features that can be seen. He looks thin when he is dressed, and he has flesh when he takes off his clothes.

But there is always a reason for being single, besides his unrequited crush on Su Ruanruan that was strangled at the starting line, and his uprightness towards girls, girls said I was so cold, Xu Zhihuan would pull her enthusiastically, Let's go for a walk, we run together, we will get hot after two laps... So Su Ruanruan swore to herself, if Xu Zhihuan didn't say any shocking news that made her think it was worth it after weighing it, then Xu Zhihuan wouldn't be able to communicate with her for a week.

Tao An'an was still sleeping soundly, and with the dim light of the mobile phone, she could only see half of her face, which was enough. Su Ruanruan got up, lightly pinched the slippers and walked out of the bedroom, closed the door, Throwing the slippers in front of his feet, he dragged them to the bathroom and answered the phone.

Xu Zhihuan's voice was mixed with the cicadas' chirping, giving it a feeling of freshness and nature in summer.

What she said didn't feel fresh and natural to her.

At 23:[-] in the evening, Xu Zhihuan appeared in a corner of the school. His friend had broken up with him and talked to him. He was too drunk and took care of him for a long time. Finally, he asked his friend to come back to school, check the time, and avoid the lights of the security guards.

So he detoured to a place where the security guards would never pass if there was no movement. That was the river whose name no one knew. They only knew that it was spacious outside the school, but it became less magnificent when inside the school. .Detour by the river, go to the apartment area, and make a few haha ​​with the well-connected dormitory manager, and nothing will happen.

The surface of the river was oppressed by layers of moonlight, lifeless, and someone on the river bank suddenly muddied the dead moonlight.

The moonlight became thin and thin on this person, and gradually, a cluster of bright flames ignited from that person.

During the day, Xu Zhihuan would never notice such a fire, but he was in a sticky night.

Taking a breath, he approached cautiously.

He felt that his footsteps didn't sound like his own, as if there were other footsteps playing with him.But when he listened carefully, the leaves were blown by the cold and silent wind, and he sighed secretly when he became so idealistic... Thinking of the school's destruction of the fence some time ago, he moved closer.

The fire illuminated a face full of ravines, old and tired.It was an ordinary middle-aged man who can be seen everywhere on the street, kneeling and sitting on the wet river bank. There was a cluster of fire in front of him, and he threw a lot of paper money into it, muttering to himself.

Xu Zhihuan took a few steps closer and heard the sound of his own footsteps.

"Please release yourself..."

"...???" Xu Zhihuan pursed his lips, crossed his arms and stared at this person for a long time, then suddenly thought of Su Ruanruan.

Taking a few steps back, he took out his mobile phone and called Su Ruanruan. The time on the mobile phone stayed at 01:30.

"It's probably like this. There is a middle-aged man by the river who burns paper."

"Xu Zhihuan, I'm going to give you a difficult task next." There was a rustling voice on the other end, "Ask this person's name, and he can't let him run away before he is asked."

"...Huh? Why..."

"He knows what I want to know. Don't worry about it. Ask first. Although it's strange in the past, there's nothing you can do about it. I trust you. Call me if you need anything. I'll wait here." Su Ruan Ruan's voice became urgent, "The name is fine, don't disturb him, and be safe."

Before he had time to think about what the last sentence, pay attention to safety, he hung up the phone.

The temperature of the air conditioner was low, so Su Ruanruan wrapped a small blanket and sat in the study room. It used to be the bedroom where her parents lived, but she changed it into a study room. She didn't come in often, so she looked even cooler, and the coolness penetrated into the bone marrow.

She desperately needs someone to hug her so that she won't feel cold.

But Tao An'an couldn't be woken up, so she gave up on it, turned on the computer, the screen was bright, and her face was painted with colorful lights. She silently opened a [mess by the river] folder, opened a folder called 【The thing about burning paper】, and then looked down at the phone, Xu Zhihuan hadn't called yet.

She poured herself a glass of hot water.

Looking through the phone, Xu Zhihuan didn't call.

The temperature of the hot water was slightly high, and the tip of the tongue touched the rim of the cup a dozen times, but he couldn't drink it down. He checked his phone, but Xu Zhihuan didn't call. He checked Weibo, looked at the previous chat records, and repeatedly asked about the meaning of life.

Looking through the phone again, Xu Zhihuan didn't call.

Thinking, wandering, walking, blank, fingers rubbed the phone, touched both the front and back, took two selfies, and started to make pictures.

A text message from Xu Zhihuan came.

Name: Wang Zerui.

Well.

Su Ruanruan recorded this name in her word document, scrolled and scrolled the list of faculty and staff of the whole school that she had copied before, to see if she could find this person, moused over, copied, searched, and found it on the school's official website Logistics found the name.

The numbers in the background were a bit eye-catching, and it was the first time she found out that the school's official website was very considerate, even leaving a mobile phone number.

She saved it for a moment and remained silent.

But people seem to have a habit. After opening the webpage, they will swipe aimlessly, open a new tab page, glance at it blankly, then continue to swipe, read interesting news one by one from the new tab page, and then Habitually open Weibo, open various social software, scroll through, and then realize that this is not what I do, so I shut them down immediately, leaving only the background of the official website, and the string of table data looks dizzying.

If she relaxes herself too much at night, her mind tends to empty out. How can she brush other things at such a critical moment.

The cursor landed on the words Wang Zerui. This is the gardener who burned the paper. She scratched, shook her hand, and searched for words. A large blank space was occupied on the new tab page, which was replaced by various information in an instant.

You can search your own name when you are idle and bored, and you will find unexpected discoveries.

The three words Wang Zerui are correct in the search bar, as if a simple and honest face is reflected through these three words.She was going to turn it off, but suddenly found the first item in the search result: Heard that Lu Da is haunted?Members help to see the boss, the real thing!

... She poked in anyway.

It is a very old forum. There are still posts like this ten years ago. The latest post was at [-] o'clock this morning, and only two people posted or replied yesterday. It is estimated that it will be closed in a short time.

After briefly following this forum, she looked at the information in this post.

The landlord said that he is a resident near the mainland, and that Lu Dao wants to drive the river outside into the school and divert some of the water from the outside. It is said that the purpose is to dredge the river, but he doesn't know exactly how.

He is usually idle and bored and used to go for a walk in Luda, take a walk to digest food, and sometimes chat with students.

Once I heard that something terrible was dug up, and then some people in the construction team lost their minds. He was very curious, so he talked to the man who was running errands for the foreman at that time. The man's name was Wang Zerui, and he refused to say what happened What's the matter, tell him not to go here at night.

This person had a curiosity, and when he was curious, he felt like he was holding his urine. He felt uncomfortable, so he kept pestering him to ask, and Wang Zerui turned his face.

So posting to ask if anyone knows what's going on.

The people who responded to the post just left with a little soy sauce, and there was no valuable information.

That forum was for discussing strange powers and gods, and it must have been submerged long ago. Su Ruanruan looked at this message, copied it and saved it, saved the web page, backed it up, and turned off the computer.

The most valuable thing is probably the phone number on the mobile phone, Su Ruanruan thought, when she and An An come back, she will go to see why this gardener burns paper, for the living, for the dead, for others, for himself .

I saved a file in my mind and put this matter behind my mind. The most urgent thing is to go to bed early and get up early. Tao Anan told me that it can't be too long. I have to get up early tomorrow. Like a little wife.

The rest of the words have long been submerged in the undulating kiss of the tide, so I just stopped talking because they were vague.

The temperature of the hot water was just right, and my stomach was warmed up a bit. I wrapped up the blanket tightly, and carefully pulled on my shoes before going back to bed.

Before he could open the bedroom door, the phone turned on, illuminating the cute little flower-like edge of the pajamas.

The author has something to say: Xinwen is thinking about changing his name.
