Buried fire

The second snow of the year fell in the evening.The snowflakes swirled down from the sky, floated in through the open window, and were instantly melted by the heating, the people in the ward finally let out mournful cries.

The family members of the deceased were kneeling beside the hospital bed, all of them blushing and crying loudly, their tears falling like money, and the doctor felt a little sad when he was used to this kind of scene, don’t read any more .

It was also at the very moment when I left the beginning, I saw someone standing at the door of the ward, and after a closer look, it was just a passing child.

"87 years old," Lu Huanyi stood at the end of the corridor, stuffed the candied haws into his mouth and bit the stick with his teeth. He took out a piece of yellow paper from his pocket with one hand, and wrote something quickly on the paper with his other hand stuck to it. He slurred his speech, "Old man, you can have a good pregnancy in your next life."

The old man in front of him was still wearing a hospital gown, and he didn't seem to be able to recover. He glanced back dully, and could faintly hear his wife's cry from the ward.

"Don't look at it," Lu Huanyi took a sip of his saliva, and after drawing the last spell, the yellow paper glowed with an inconspicuous light, and flew towards the old man, just hitting his forehead.Lu Huanyi took off the candied haws, bit one into his mouth, "Go to reincarnation."

Only then did the old man retract his gaze, and the turbidity and confusion in his eyes gradually subsided. He nodded at Lu Huanyi, smiled kindly, and then slowly disappeared into the air.

Lu Huanyi bit the last candied haws into his mouth, and when he walked to the other end of the corridor to throw bamboo sticks, he passed by the ward. The old lady inside cried to a man, "Your father said not to rescue him! Don't give him the blood in his body!" Inserting a tube and hanging his life with something makes him feel uncomfortable, don’t let him suffer in his last days, let him go directly, why don’t you listen! Are you here to ask for your life? Retribution! "

"That's my dad!" The man lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly, "Can I just let him go, can I not rescue him!"

"Retribution! How did I give birth to such a retribution thing as you..."

Lu Huanyi didn't finish listening. He threw the bamboo stick into the trash can and took the elevator downstairs.

There is already a thin layer of snow outside, and the creaking sound is not too loud when you step on it. The warm orange light on the side of the road shines down, like a layer of golden rims on the snow that has not been stepped on. It looks very nice.

The old north wind was blowing, and Lu Huanyi happened to be standing at the wind, blinded by the wind, he reached out and pulled the scarf up before walking into the untrodden snow.

When he was about to trample the snow without a good spot, Yan Chenyuan drove over and shouted from a long distance: "Children, get in the car and eat!"

Lu Huanyi looked up at the car for a while, recognized the license plate number before walking over, opened the door of the back seat and sat in, "Where's the meal?"

"In the restaurant," Yan Chenyuan clicked his tongue, "Can I still bring the meal in front of you?"

"Then you said to eat in the car, I thought you put some shit in the car and gnawed it when you were hungry..." Lu Huanyi looked up and saw that there was someone sitting in the co-pilot, "Hello."

"Hi." The man nodded at him.

"You just left the school today, how did you wander around to the hospital?" Yan Chenyuan asked.

"I saw soaring grievances from the hospital from quite a distance away, it was quite frightening," Lu Huanyi yawned, "I went."

"The deceased was an old man, right?" Yan Chen asked while driving, "Why did he suddenly become a ghost?"

"...serious illness, probably because I told my son not to rescue him, he doesn't want to suffer or something," Lu Huanyi took out his phone from his pocket, swiped his finger on the screen a few times, and didn't open any software. After thinking about it, he put the phone back, "But his son didn't listen, and insisted on delaying his life for a long time, so he just...resented."

Probably no hate at first.

I just feel like it's not worth it, and helpless.Even if it delays its life, it's just a waste of money. The old man knows very well that he can't survive.

But in those days when life is forcibly protracted, the body suffers from pain and numbness day after day, what is seen in the eyes and mind, the soul is often about to leave the body and is forcibly pulled back, even if the brain cannot clearly judge, the soul However, after suffering so much, the people who came to visit sighed and sighed together day and night, why he hated his son who chose to save his son when he was dying, probably only the old man himself knows.

This matter is not the person involved, and no one can guess his mind.

Lu Huanyi had no choice but to give the old man a pure heart talisman, to give him a hand before he turned into a ghost, to drive away those resentments in his heart, and let him reincarnate with peace of mind.Idle is also idle, Master often said that helping others is a pleasure, although...he can only do so much.

"Let's go eat first." Yan Chenyuan was silent for a while, and did not continue the topic. "I have arranged your house. I will take you to see it after dinner. If you need anything, you are welcome. .”

"Oh," Lu Huanyi replied, "Thank you."

"Thank you, I watched you grow up anyway," Yan Chenyuan smiled, "I hugged you when you were wearing crotch pants."

"Then I pissed all over you, right?" Lu Huanyi said, "The elders always introduced it like this, it's boring, you can change it to something new, for example, I'm pretty good at pissing your face or something."

"Pee one?" The co-pilot said with a smile.

"Okay." As Lu Huanyi said, he lifted up his long padded jacket, touched the belt buckle, and before he could untie it, Yan Chenyuan glanced at him in the rearview mirror, "I'll give you all the eggs." Believe it or not."

"Ouch," Lu Huanyi was overjoyed, and tugged down the padded jacket, "Do you have the self-consciousness of an elder?"

"I'm sorry," Yan Chenyuan said, "I really haven't."

Lu Huanyi laughed again, and stopped talking.

After the three of them had dinner, Yan Chenyuan drove Lu Huanyi to the downstairs of the house prepared for him.

It is an aging community. There is an old man in his 60s and [-]s living in the guard room. He is probably responsible for closing the iron gate at the gate of the community every day in the early hours of the morning or helping to receive deliveries.

The outer wall of the building is mottled, and there are traces left by the rainwater all year round. The household on the top of the building is engaged in some kind of gardening business, and the leaves of the things planted are mostly drooping outside. The side facing the outside None of the window panes are lit. At first glance, it looks like a haunted house shooting scene, and the harsh winter wind makes the whole scene even more bleak.

Lu Huanyi got out of the car, put his hands in his pockets, and glanced upstairs from bottom to top, "Is this the crime scene you rented?"

"Wait a minute, I'll send him up and down," Yan Chenyuan said hello to the co-pilot, got out of the car, and slapped Lu Huanyi on the back of the head, "Go up and talk."

"Ah." Lu Huanyi responded, "Okay."

The tone was rather reluctant.

Yan Chenyuan fumbled for the cigarette case from his pocket, took out one and lit it in his mouth, and led Lu Huanyi up the four-floor corridor where all four corridor sensor lights were broken.The rented house was on the top floor, Yan Chenyuan took out the key and opened the door, slapped his hand on the wall hard, and turned on the light.

"Is this lamp also voice-activated?" Lu Huanyi followed into the room.

"No," Yan Chenyuan said, "This switch is not easy to press, you need to use more strength."

"Oh," Lu Huanyi glanced at the furnishings in the room, and replied again, "Oh."

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the room is clean and warm, especially the comfortable sofa and lazy chair, and the light-colored tablecloth, which looks very warm under the light.This is an ordinary small house, not as crime scene as it looks.

Lu Huanyi scanned the living room and the kitchen, turned around and entered the bedroom, where the sheets and quilts were laid out, and the closet was opened, and there were even clothes hung in the closet, with a post-it note underneath.Dress well every year and don't catch a cold!

Oh!

Followed by a very cute Kaomoji.

"Look," Lu Huanyi tore off the post-it note and handed it to Yan Chenyuan, "Does this look like a sentence written by an expert cultivator?"

Yan Chenyuan took it and glanced at it, amused, "Your master is still so... lively."

"It's so annoying," Lu Huanyi took a deep breath, and closed the closet door, "It's so annoying that chickens eight hundred miles away don't dare to crow when they see him."

Yan Chenyuan was amused for a while again, "See if there is anything missing, we'll go buy it again."

"It's okay, I don't have money or money," Lu Huanyi said, "Thank you."

"Well, then I'm leaving," Yan Chenyuan said, "Call me if I have something to do."

"Okay." Lu Huanyi sent Yan Chenyuan to the door, and after closing the door, he heard his footsteps slowly going downstairs.

Step by step, step by step...ah, it's gone.

Hearing the sound, he didn't fall. If he was lucky, he would stagger, taking three steps as two steps. If he was unlucky, he might have split a fork on the stairs.

Master is kind to Yan Chenyuan, that's why Yan Chenyuan put down the case of demons and goblins in his hands, came to the hospital to pick him up in person, even arranged the residence and helped pack the luggage sent by Master.

But I have no kindness towards Yan Chenyuan, just like what Yan Chenyuan said, he hugged me once more than ten years ago, and at most, he met him from a distance at the annual banquet of the teacher's school, and then there is none left.

So in the past few months at the foot of the mountain, no matter what happened, Lu Huanyi didn't intend to bother Yan Chenyuan anymore.

This new home is very good, with everything you need, and he has money, so living in the city is not a problem at all.

The phone in his pocket vibrated for a while before Lu Huanyi noticed it. He took out the phone and connected it, "Hello?"

"Sui Sui? Have you been driven down the mountain by Master?" The person on the other end of the phone was a little anxious, "Why is this damn old man crazy now that Chinese New Year is almost here? ..."

"Ah, it's okay," Lu Huanyi panicked after listening to his last sentence, "I didn't get kicked out, he asked me to go down the mountain to find something."

"What are you looking for?" the man yelled.

"Can you talk to me in a normal volume? That dog on the mountain was deaf because of your yelling." Lu Huanyi said.

"...Oh," the man's voice was a little softer, "what are you looking for?"

Lu Huanyi didn't speak, he walked into the bedroom a few steps, slapped on the light in the bedroom, walked to the bedside and sat down, took a deep breath and said slowly: "Snake."
