LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 187 Graves
That night Xia Haoyang had a dream, in which he seemed to have traveled back to the previous time and space. He met the uncle and aunt who raised him, but it was only in the ward. The uncle who had always been very thin seemed to be even thinner, but his eyes were still bright and clear as he was lying on the hospital bed. The aunt was sitting beside the bed nagging something. The cousin whom I hadn’t seen for many years couldn’t see her face clearly and stood in front of the bed peeling an apple.
Suddenly, there was a change of space. In a tube building, an old house with two bedrooms and two living rooms, a gray-haired old woman was sitting on the sofa watching TV. There was a black cat squatting next to her. One of them looked a bit like Xia Haoyang. The young man seemed to be yelling something at the old man, but the old lady didn't pay attention at all. She half-squinted her eyes and looked at the snowflakes on the TV, stroking the black cat's body with one hand.
Then he changed to another space. There was darkness in front of him. A long slope appeared at the light. This slope was very long. Xia Haoyang walked and walked on this slope. It seemed that he could not reach the end after walking for a long time. He wanted to give up, but I was willing to walk forward, but suddenly the slope came to an end, and there were two rows of houses on the corner, six in a row, three stories high, each of which was a duplex Western-style building.
Xia Haoyang walked to the third foreign-style building in the south. The door was unlocked. He opened the door and walked straight in. Passing by the kitchen and bathroom, he was faced with a large living room. There seemed to be another room in the large living room, but he was not in the living room. Stay longer and go directly from the stairs to the second floor. There are three rooms with closed doors on the second floor. Xia Haoyang opened one of the doors casually. There was a single bed and a small desk inside. He walked into another room again. There was a double bed with a photo hanging above the bed, which seemed to be that of a handsome middle-aged man. Xia Haoyang wanted to get closer and take a closer look, but suddenly a cat jumped out from behind and roared at him.
He was woken up. Xia Haoyang sat up in the hotel, panting heavily. His head was still sweating, and his whole back was soaked. Tang Wanqi had woken up long ago and had been wiping Xia Haoyang's sweat, "Are you Did you have a nightmare?"
Xia Haoyang's throat was very dry. He barely swallowed a mouthful of water and said hoarsely: "Wanqi, pour me a glass of water. I'm thirsty."
Tang Wanqi immediately went to get a bottle of water and handed it to him. After drinking most of the bottle of water, Xia Haoyang felt much better. "Haoyang, are you okay?" Tang Wanqi looked very nervous.
Xia Haoyang, who had calmed down for a while, handed the unfinished water to Tang Wanqi and smiled at her: "I had a nightmare. I drank beer before going to bed last night, so I'm a little thirsty. I'm fine. "
"What are you dreaming about? You were talking in your sleep just now, but you couldn't speak clearly. I see that you are sweating profusely. You just went to get a towel." Tang Wanqi was still wiping Xia Haoyang.
"No, thank you Wanqi. I don't remember what I dreamed about just now. I'm covered in sweat. I'm going to take a shower." Xia Haoyang avoided the topic of nightmares.
After coming out of the shower, Xia Haoyang wiped the water drops on his body with a bath towel, while Tang Wanqi sat on the bed as if she was still asleep. "I'm fine, you can continue to sleep." Xia Haoyang said to Tang Wanqi, who was a little sleepy.
"Well, then come here, I want to hold you." Although she was a little confused, Tang Wanqi stretched out her hands.
After Xia Haoyang wiped off the water stains on his body, he returned to the bed again, hugged her, and Tang Wanqi fell asleep again in Xia Haoyang's arms. Xia Haoyang recalled the content of his dream. He wanted to know who the photo of the middle-aged man hanging in the Western-style building was, but no matter how he recalled it, he could not recall the specific appearance of the man in the photo. In this kind of thinking, Xia Haoyang also Fell asleep.
The next morning, Xia Haoyang woke up from Tang Wanqi's good morning bite. When he realized that Xia Haoyang was awake, Tang Wanqi stretched out his head from the quilt and hugged him with a shy look. Xia Haoyang also caressed Tang Wanqi gently. Qi's back, "Wanqi, you are so kind."
Tang Wanqi didn't speak, and continued to lean on Xia Haoyang. She suddenly remembered: "By the way, Haoyang, what kind of nightmare did you have last night? You were still talking in your sleep in the middle of the night, but I don't remember it. I only remember that you lost a lot of fluids." sweat."
"I can't remember clearly. I seemed to have entered some kind of house. There was a photo hanging on the wall. I wanted to see clearly who was in the photo, but I couldn't see clearly. Then I woke up."
"Oh, what are our plans for today? Where are we going to play?"
Xia Haoyang's hand caressing Tang Wanqi's back slowly moved downwards, and whispered in Tang Wanqi's ear: "We're not going anywhere today. We'll just rest in the hotel for the day, okay?"
Tang Wanqi expressed her opinion through actions, and the two of them kissed each other passionately.
It wasn't until noon that the two of them got up, checked out a room in the lobby on the first floor for the day, and then went out of the hotel to find food together.
People in Xiangxi love to eat rice noodles, and the rice noodles in Wuxi City also have their own characteristics. For example, in Shaozi, beef, pig's feet, and three delicacies are commonly seen in other places, while locally there are duck, goose, lamb feet, and even individual ones. The store also had dog meat as a whistle for rice noodles, so Xia Haoyang and Tang Wanqi went to a breakfast shop to eat rice noodles.
"Well, it's delicious. We also have rice noodles in our hometown. Dry mixed rice noodles are very famous." Tang Wanqi's hometown, Qianzhou, is just next door to Xinan Province. Many eating habits are the same as those in Xinan Province, so the food in Wuxi City is She is very used to it.
After the two of them finished eating rice noodles, Xia Haoyang suggested going for a walk in Zhongpo Mountain near the city. As long as Tang Wanqi could stay with her lover, it didn't matter where they went, so she naturally agreed. They took a taxi to the foot of the mid-slope mountain, but instead of following the flow of people on the main road, they chose a small road, and this small road also needed to pass through other people's private residences.
Tang Wanqi didn't ask too many questions and just followed him anyway. Xia Haoyang didn't say much along the way and led Tang Wanqi through railway tracks, private houses, and a small temple. The path was quite bumpy. , and then came to a graveyard.
"Haoyang, where are we going?" Tang Wanqi felt a little strange when she saw the grave in front of her.
Xia Haoyang stretched out his hand and took Tang Wanqi's hand, "Let's go through here, don't be afraid."
"Oh, I'm not afraid." Although Tang Wanqi didn't understand why she came here, her trust in Xia Haoyang made her not think too much, and she just continued to follow him anyway.
The back hill of Zhongpo Mountain is a cemetery. They passed through many graves along the way. Tang Wanqi became more and more strange as they walked, but Xia Haoyang didn't have any explanation. However, since they walked to this cemetery, Xia Haoyang has been holding hands. She never let go. Perhaps it was her boyfriend's hand that gave her courage. Tang Wanqi was indeed not afraid at all when she passed this cemetery.
"Here we are." The two of them walked to a tomb. At this time, Xia Haoyang let go of Tang Wanqi's hand, walked forward, squatted down, and looked at the tombstone carefully. He was lost in thought for a while, then stood up and looked at the tomb. The bag was overgrown with weeds, so we removed those weeds by hand.
Tang Wanqi felt strange at Xia Haoyang's behavior, so she also approached the tombstone to see what was written on it. This tombstone is very old at first glance. It is much smaller than the tombstones in the surrounding tombs. There are very few words engraved on it, just a few strokes: Tomb of Shen Qingzhi. Tang Wanqi read softly: Shen Qingzhi. "Haoyang, does this tomb belong to an elder you know?"
Xia Haoyang, who was pulling weeds, stopped moving. He didn't know how to explain that this was a parallel world. He had traveled into the body of another Xia Haoyang. Theoretically, there should be a dancer Xia Haoyang in this world. If so, If so, then this tomb should be that of his father from the original time and space: Xia Jiayin! But the name on the tombstone is not Xia Jiayin, but Shen Qingzhi, whom he does not know. What does this mean?
This means that the dancer Xia Haoyang does not exist in this world, which means that he cannot see the uncle who raised him and the mother who abandoned him in this world. So who is the photo of the middle-aged man in the dream? Anyway, he is not his father from the original time and space. As for him weeding the tomb of the unknown Chen Qingzhi? Because he regards this tomb as his father in his heart, he has not returned to his hometown for ten years and has not fulfilled his obligations as a child, but now he has no chance again.
