The silver-gray car travels on the winding mountain road. One side of the road is the color of mountains and lakes, and the other side is an anti-slip protection slope.

The sky is dark blue, the lake is emerald green, and the trees on the roadside are washed by the rain, and they are verdant.The rain was heavy, and the surface of the car was washed clean. The white and blue fluorescent license plate on the rear of the car shone in the sunlight, and the edges and corners of every word or letter were clearly visible.

The silver-gray van finally parked in a deep alley in a corner of the city.

The alley is very deep, in a corner where the sun does not shine all the year round, it is cold and deep like a well, and looking down is unfathomable darkness.The car door was opened, and a slender man stepped out. In the cold light that seeped into the alley through the gap, the man's face was blurred, and his thin jaw and tightly pressed lips were reflected in the window glass. There is an indescribable fierceness in the person.

He raised his head slightly and looked at a vermilion wooden door. After a long time, he opened the door and walked in.

When Xia Yubing woke up, the sky was already bright, and the sun shone through the carved windows onto the ground, creating an indescribable tranquility.

The quilt next to her had already lost its temperature, Xia Yubing got up and got out of bed, walked slowly to the bathroom in her slippers, and stared at herself in the mirror for a while in a daze.

Another unexplained dream, the van that reappeared over and over again, and that person.

Although he couldn't see clearly, he was sure he had never seen that person before.Just looking at that person, even knowing that they don't know each other, there will still be some vague emotions rising in my heart, an indescribable palpitation.

Will there be reality in dreams.Even after experiencing the suicide case in the school, Xia Yubing still has no definite answer.However, he knows that those things that appear in his dreams every night are like reading a book that makes people half-knowledgeable. Unknown, can only be understood but not expressed in words.But Xia Yubing still didn't know how far away the dream was. He thought those things were far away from him, but that road—he clearly remembered that it was the road they passed by when they were sitting on the bus.He remembered the lake, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say the reservoir, where people drowned every year.

What is true and what is false?

Between reality and reality, Xia Yubing heard the sound of his heart beating, beating again and again, real beating.

He put his hands on his chest, feeling the beating of his heart.

No matter what, the beat is always real.

Brushing his teeth, washing his face and changing his clothes, after a long time, he heard the sound of the door opening.Looking back, Qu Hedong was walking in with a small bag of things.

"Here, I brought you breakfast, eat it while it's hot." Qu Hedong smiled modestly as always.

"Thanks, I'll bring it for you tomorrow." Xia Yubing took the things in his hand.

Hearing this, Qu Hedong just smiled, the smile was a bit thought-provoking, but Xia, who was busy eating breakfast, didn't pay attention.

Xia Yubing took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, and found that it happened to be his favorite barbecued pork bun. He felt relieved: "What time did you get up?"

Qu Hedong thought for a while and said, "When I went out, it was around 7 o'clock. I woke up early today and just went for a walk, why? Did you sleep because of the noise?"

Xia Yubing shook his head: "No, I've been sleeping like hell lately, so I don't think there's any big movement that won't wake me up."

In fact, this is also what he is puzzled about. Although he still dreams frequently, in recent days, even if he dreams, he will not have the feeling of not sleeping well all night like before.But in any case, he is happy to see it happen.

"That's good. It's already 08:30, let's hurry up, we will gather at nine o'clock." Qu Hedong said.

Xia Yubing nodded, took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun and drank the soy milk, but as soon as the soy milk entered his mouth, Xia Yubing spit it out, opened his mouth and stretched out his red tongue, hissed, and shouted: "I Fuck, it's hot."

Qu Hedong looked at Xia Yubing, whose eyes were watery and his lips were bright red, and quickly looked away, walked to the table in two or three steps, picked up a glass of cold water, and handed it to Xia Yubing: "Take a sip of cold water slowly. , This water was taken when I got up in the morning."

Xia Yubing looked at the cup in Qu Hedong's hand, hesitated for a moment, but took it anyway, at this moment, does it matter whether the cup is yours or mine?He took a sip of cold water in his mouth and immediately felt much better.

"Thank you." He swallowed the water and said with his tongue out, "Did you just buy this soy milk? It's so hot."

"Bought it by chance when I came back. The shop is at the end of this alley. I said that the boss is quite an interesting person." As if recalling something, Qu Hedong smiled.

"Really?" He wanted to see what kind of interesting person Qu and Dong saw.

"You'll know it when you meet him, let's not talk about it...do you feel better now?" Qu Hedong asked.

"It's okay..." Xia Yubing glanced sleepily at the buns on the table.I complained in my heart that I was a bit back, even if I was scalded by the bath water, I would be scalded even after eating breakfast.

"Let's drink it when it's cold." Qu Hedong said.

"Do you think I will still drink this soy milk?" Xia Yubing looked at him upon hearing this.

Qu Hedong smiled: "Why not?"

Xia Yubing froze for a moment, so sure?But I have to say, he guessed right, although he was always sullen, but he wouldn't be sullen over a cup of soy milk, otherwise the scene...was simply mentally retarded.

At nine o'clock, seven people gathered in Xia Yubing and Qu Hedong's room on time to discuss today's itinerary.

After discussing for more than half an hour, the group checked the things to bring and set off.

The first stop is a nearby museum.

A group of people walked out one after another from the hotel gate until the end of the alley. Qu Hedong glanced at the flamboyant "a steamed stuffed bun shop" on the wooden signboard, and said with some regret, "It closed so early?"

Xia Yubing raised her head when she heard the words.

Gao Long on the side looked at it and said, "This word is pretty good."

Lu Yan heard the words and said, "Hey, Gao Neng, can you still read calligraphy?"

Gao Long rolled his eyes at him: "I like it just by looking at it, no need for a reason."

"But this character is really good." Lu Yan said, "I was caught by my grandpa when I was a child and learned calligraphy for a while."

"Then what do you see?"

"Well..." Lu Yan chose his words carefully: "Does it look like Grandpa Mao's crazy grass?"

"Grandpa Mao's wild grass?" Chen Yue said, "I don't think so. Grandpa Mao's crazy grass feels like few people can understand it. This word is quite easy to recognize."

"This word is very imposing." Qu and Bing said, "But it's fun to compare with this name."

The words written on the signboard with the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers are "a steamed stuffed bun shop" such a sullen shop name, and the nondescript combination feels a bit strange.Xia Yubing suddenly wanted to meet this boss too.

"This name is quite cute." Chen Yue said, picking up the camera hanging around his neck and snapping a photo.

"This can be considered the humanities here." Luo Luo took out a notepad and began to write.

"There are also buildings along the street, all of which have local characteristics. Let's take more photos later." Qu Hedong said.

"That flower window is very beautiful, classmate Qu, can you take a group photo for us three girls?" The light was a bit dark yesterday and the 7 people didn't pay much attention to the scene on the street. Now the three girls are watching with bright eyes. The walls are painted red and covered with glazed tiles, and there are delicate carved windows inlaid on the wall, through which you can see the willows planted in the yard.

"No problem, give me the camera." Qu Hedong took the camera and took several photos of them in different poses.

"It's almost done, let's go to the museum first." Qu Hedong said.

A group of people strolled slowly in the alley, taking photos and discussing while walking.It was past one o'clock when we walked out of the museum.

"My feet are so sore." Chen Yue thumped his feet and leaned against Xiao Xiao.Seeing this, Xiao Xiao also leaned over, "It's almost as good as you help me." The two leaned back to back to form a capital "A".

"According to this progress, we will not be able to complete today's task." Qu Hedong looked at his watch.

"There are still two stops today." Xiao Xiao said as he stuffed the notepad into his backpack.

"Have we wandered the streets for too long today?" Gao Long said.

"It was around eleven o'clock when we entered the museum, and it's one o'clock now. I think we've spent quite a long time in the museum," Lu Yan said.

"That's true." Gao Long said.

"We observe too closely, it takes time." Xia Yubing said upon hearing this.

Qu Hedong nodded, "The plan can't keep up with the changes. What should we do now?"

"Why don't we divide into two groups. It's good for a group of people to visit one place, otherwise we will be exhausted even after we finish shopping." Chen Yue suggested.

"Okay." Everyone nodded their heads.

"How to group?" Xiao Xiao said.

"I think you have to separate the two male gods into teams." Chen Yue looked at Xia Yubing and Qu Hedong with bright eyes. "With such a handsome face, it will definitely go well when I interview people later."

Xia Yubing: "..." What is dismantling?

Xiao Xiao nodded.His eyes flicked around the two of them.

"Forget it, otherwise, wouldn't the child and Gao Neng have to be separated?" Qu Hedong smiled, with a meaningful smile.

Xiao Xiao and Chen Yue were happy: "Oh, I'm wet, I almost forgot about these two good friends."

The two good friends looked at each other: "..." Why do I feel that the most sticky good friends here are not the two of them but...
