In the early morning of the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiang Que was called out of bed by the biological clock as usual.
January 20 is not only the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, but also the birthday of Xiang Qian.
"It's ······ Chinese New Year" Xiang Ying took a cigarette, sat cross-legged on the bed, and looked around a little blankly with a silent smoke.
Chinese people have a special sense of the year, whether at home or abroad, whether in the city or in the countryside, whether old or young, men and women, the definition of the year is first reunion, then joy, this is a special day for everyone in the country.
However, this is also the first time that Xiang Que has spent the New Year alone, in the past twenty-three years, the first ten years he spent with his family in Xiangjiazhuang in the northeast, the last thirteen years he was in Gujing Temple, and last year he went to the Chen family's mansion, only this year Xiang Que was alone in the empty Taoist temple smelling the joy of the New Year , the old Taoist is not in the uncle's trip to Qi Changqing did not come back, and the ancient well view, which was already bleak and deserted, has a lonely and lonely taste.
Last night, there was a heavy snowfall in Zhongnan Mountain, the entire Qinling Mountains were covered in silver, the snow was dazzling in the sun, Xiang Que started from the front hall with a broom, and cleaned up all the snow in one place after another, and then he carried a bucket of water and opened it from the front hall At the beginning, the view was wiped inside and out, and the whole morning time, Xiang Quandu's busy feet did not touch the ground, so that the original dilapidated ancient well view glowed with a hint of novelty, although it still looks so dilapidated here.
People are not in the ancient well, so at least they have to be presentable.
Today's Xiang Que is slacking off, there is no retreat, and there is no intention to retreat, people's state of mind can affect many conditions, at this moment Xiang Que just wants to stay quietly today.
After cleaning up the ancient well view, he moved a chair and sat in front of the main hall with half-squinted eyes and crossed Erlang's legs and didn't know what to think about at this time, his thoughts were very confused, and he drifted to Zhongjing Mansion for a while, not knowing what the Xiang family was doing at the moment, and then drifted to the Chen family compound, I don't know Chen Did Xia miss him, and finally landed in Qufu Confucius Mansion, with Kong Dejing to take care of him, the child should be better, right?
"After this year, it's twenty-four" Xiang Que smashed his mouth, shook his head and smiled: "It's really fast, the years are fleeting, and I don't know what the next year will be like?"
” Twenty-four years ago, in the ugly year, on January 20th, when the lunar year was cloudy, it was the birthday of Xiang Deficiency to Deficiency, and after this year, and then in January, January 20, Xiang Que turned twenty-five years old.
After this year, he didn't know if he would be able to live another year.
After noon, more than two o'clock, the sound of firecrackers began to sound sporadically in Gujing Village, which means that from the beginning of this world, has officially entered the rhythm of the New Year, every household prepares wine and food for the first meal, after eating, the village begins to play a variety of cards, stay until eight o'clock in the evening After a few minutes, I would sit in front of the TV and watch the TV while wrapping dumplings.
"Crunch, crunch" Outside the gate of Gujingguan, there was a sound of snow being stepped on, and Xiang Quan jumped up from his chair at once.
Seeing that it was the old village chief and his daughter-in-law who came up with a wooden barrel, the disappointed look on Xiang Que's face swept away, he thought it would be Lao Dao or Uncle Shi, or it could be Qi Changqing.
"Well, you know, you have to be alone in a daze······" The old village chief and his daughter-in-law brought the food they had prepared to Xiang Que, put it in front of the door and said, "Do you want to go down to E's house for the New Year this year?"
” Xiang Que shook his head and said, "I'll sleep after eating, and I'll not go."
"Seed!"
The old village chief glared at him, and then went back with his daughter-in-law, and did not persuade him again, because the people who went to the Nian Gujing Temple had never been in the habit of going to the village to celebrate the New Year.
Looking at the food on the ground, Xiang Que didn't move, a person's year is really not very good.
Xiang Quan's year is not good, there are many people's years are also not good, not to mention the parents in Zhongjing Mansion, since the beginning of the year, there has been a rare smile on his face, Xiao San is too worrying.
The Chen family's mansion, Chen Xia also rushed back on the twenty-ninth day, and after coming back, he behaved quite normally, and Chen Sanjin, Chen Dong and Wang Linzhu sat at the dining table eating, the expression on his face was light and light, and he didn't seem to see what impact Xiang Que had on her at all.
Chen Xia had a glass of red wine in front of her, but she had never drunk a drop of wine.
When she drank the last sip of red wine in the cup, Chen Sanjin put down the dishes and chopsticks, lit a cigar and said slowly: "Follow Xiang Qian, you have to get used to this situation, he looks like an ordinary man who can't be ordinary, but first of all, what we look at is his extraordinary, his."
Extraordinary is destined to have a very different life from ordinary people, so you have to learn to get used to it, since you have chosen to be lacking, you have to get used to accepting his differences."
Wang Linzhu glanced at him and said: "It's easy to say, I'm used to you, and it's taken at least fifteen years" Chen Xia silently poured herself a glass of wine, and didn't discuss this issue with her family, she wasn't thinking about why Xiang Que didn't stay with her during the New Year, but she was thinking that Xiang Que seemed to have something important to hide from herself, this was purely a woman's intuition, and there was no reason or reason , just plain suspicious.
When the two of them were close to each other, that feeling of being in their hearts was indeed very strange, Xiang Que had always avoided letting Chen Xia know that he was going to encounter a catastrophe when he was twenty-five years old, and he even avoided leaking any clues in front of Chen Xia, but although he never to I didn't mention it to Chen Xia, but the other party secretly noticed that Xiang Que had something on his mind.
The food placed at the door of Gujingguan was already cold, from about three o'clock in the afternoon to dark, a few hours passed, Xiang Que sat on the chair and looked ahead, his eyes were slightly straight, he had no appetite, and even if he ate it, it was tasteless.
"Crunch, crunch" When night fell, outside the Gujing Temple, there was a sound of snow being trampled, and Xiang Que moved the somewhat stiff corpse, and said, "Uncle, I'm not hungry, you can take it back."
The people who came to Gujingguan looked down at the food on the ground that had almost been frozen, and then looked up and said, "If you don't eat for a day, you're not hungry?"
Also, you're just so responsible?
What's wrong with a person who can't survive a year?
” "Huh" Xiang Que looked up and saw a relatively round figure standing in front of the door, under the moonlight, his arrival at this moment made Xiang Que feel that the fat man also had a great time.
"Why are you here at this time?"
Wang Xuanzhen panted and moved his round figure, walked to the main hall and sat on the futon, and said: "I haven't contacted you for a few months, and if you disappear as if you are dead, I know that you must be hiding and retreating and cultivating, and sure enough, you are in Gujingguan, so I pondered, I haven't seen you for a long time, I must miss me very much, and then I rushed over from Lingnan, you took my father undercover, and my grandfather traveled all over the world.
After the uncle gave me the position of the head of the house, he simply didn't care about anything, except for it I don't think the three of them are very pleasing to anyone, so I just came to compensate you, surprise or not?
Moved or not?
” Xiang Que rubbed his head and smiled: "You came here by yourself, Sister Fei'er didn't beat you?"
” "She went back to Shenyang for the New Year, even if she didn't go back, she had to know her brothers and women, what I always paid attention to, so she had to squint at me honestly, and she didn't dare to bare her teeth" Xiang Que said: "Although you brag about it, I still feel very hot in my heart······ Thank you."
What is it called sending charcoal in the snow, Xiang Que knew that what Wang Fatzi said earlier was actually foreshadowing, in the final analysis, he knew that he might be a little lonely and lonely in Gujingguan alone, so he gave up the idea of spending the New Year in Wang's house and ran to the ancient well view of Zhongnan Mountain in the poor countryside.
Wang Xuanzhen pointed to the hard food at the door and said, "You can't just treat guests like this, right?"
” Xiang Que spread his hands and said helplessly: "No way, who knew that you would come out of nowhere?"
” "Crunch, crunch" Footsteps sounded outside the door of Gujingguan again, and the two looked at the same time, and saw a figure with something in his hand appeared in front of the door, and the two stood up at the same time.
Xiang Que said in surprise: "Why are you back?"
"Your sister Yan accompanied me back to the old man for the New Year, and left me alone in the third phase of the International Trade Center, in order not to make myself too lonely and lonely, I rushed back to Gujingguan overnight, looking for a companion with you, I didn't expect your kid's popularity to be good, and someone was one step earlier than me" Qi Changqing also When he returned, he carried two bags of food purchased from the bottom of the mountain and put them in the main hall.

Xiang Que's lips trembled a few times, and he didn't say anything pretentious to Qi Changqing about thanks.
Although Qi Changqing has a brother-in-law relationship with him, in Xiang Quan's life, he has always played the role of brother and father, and the eldest brother is the father, which Qi Changqing has nothing wrong with this.
"Qiao Ye threw a lot of wine here when he left, I'll go and get it" Originally, he lived alone and lonely for a year, but Wang Xuanzhen and Qi Changqing appeared at the same time, becoming a warm sun in the dark night of the Chinese New Year's Eve in winter.
When the bridge left at noon, more than a dozen jars of wine were thrown to Xiang Que, all of which were moved to the main hall by Xiang Que, three people, a long night, and only in this way can this seem that Xiang Que may be the last year of his life.
Although full of worries, this wine is extremely enjoyable, the three of them push the glass and change the lamp as if a thousand cups are not drunk, and they talk about life with pride, but no one mentions that the limit of lack is coming.
The year of Gujingguan has passed like this.
Midnight, thirty.
Xiang Que sighed and muttered silently in his heart: "Hopefully, this is not the last year, hopefully, people will last for a long time"
