There are only a few left-behind households living in Lujia Village at the foot of the mountain. On New Year's Eve, the lights are lit, and they come together to play cards and chat with each other. The atmosphere of the New Year is not lacking.

The old man who was busy playing cards smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, every year during the Chinese New Year, the mountain is foggy. Anyway, don't go up the mountain on this day."

"Why?"

"There are monsters living in the mountains, hahaha..."

"Ah! There are still monsters in the mountains? Are they celebrating the New Year too?"

"Of course it's the New Year, and the monsters have to eat and drink, maybe they're drinking right now."

"Then, does that monster eat children?"

The old man laughed and shook his head: "Monsters don't eat children or people, you don't provoke monsters, and monsters don't provoke you."

"What if someone accidentally provokes a monster?"

At this time, the old lady who came out with the dumplings laughed and interjected: "Don't be afraid, Nuo, do you see that stack of decals? Those are all zodiac paintings this year, and every year at home Be prepared, you can post what you want in any year, they will bless you with good luck, and all monsters are afraid of it. This year is the Year of the Pig, I will raise a few more pigs, which will definitely sell for a good price. "

"Oh, who still raises pigs now, pigs are too edible..."

The house was noisy.

"Excuse me, I'm a passing passenger."

: "There are still passengers on the evening of the 30th New Year's Eve? You are..." Unlike a passenger, who is wearing a suit and leather shoes and a windbreaker with a big fur collar, holding an umbrella and a briefcase in his hand, he is tall and straight, just a pair of The shoes were dirty with muddy water, and the trousers were not clean.

The man smiled and said again: "Happy New Year, old man. I want to go to Qixia Mountain. Can you sell me a flashlight?"

"Go up the mountain?" The old man was stunned again: "If you don't go back for the New Year, you will go up the mountain to do it now? Young people, don't think about it, there is nothing on Qixia Mountain, just stones and wild trees. , and it's foggy now, you can't tell the difference between the south, south, north, and west of Shandong now, what should you do if there is one."

The man was silent and looked up in the direction of Qixia Mountain. It was a quiet night with no wind and no rain. When passing through Qixia Town, you could see lights flashing in all directions from time to time. Arriving at Lujia Village at the foot of Qixia Mountain, Qixia Mountain is like another world, a mystery shrouded in dense fog.

"I have a friend who didn't come out after entering the mountain. I'm going to look for it. Can you do me a favor?" Qin Zhuopu handed over a piece of cash, more than enough to buy a flashlight.

"Then why don't you call the police, how can you find it alone." The old man was full of doubts, but the young man in the room hurriedly took out the flashlight and handed it to the man, and quickly took the RMB.

"Thank you." The man turned and entered the mountain.

"Young man, if you don't come out for an hour, can I help you call the police?"

"No thanks."

The flashlight illuminated the road under his feet, and the man went forward.

"He has a decent body, it's too strange to go up the mountain now, shouldn't he go to the mountain to commit suicide?" Seeing the man leave, the young man couldn't help but think.

"Nonsense, nine times out of ten you're going up the mountain to find someone."

"But, but grandpa, you said that the mountains are full of monsters." The child said.

The old man blushed suddenly: "There are people besides monsters."

"People?"

"Of course there are people who can only meet with fate." The grandfather's eyes are far away.

During the Chinese New Year, peace is the most important thing.

After fifty minutes, a familiar figure returned to the door. The man was even more embarrassed than before. Even his clothes were dirty now, as if he had rolled on the ground. In the darkness, the man's eyes were amazed, staring blankly at the familiar house for a long time. It seems very strange how he came here again.

"Did you fall?" The old man stepped forward and asked.

The man turned pale and shook his head silently, "It's okay, thank you. I'm going back..."

"It's better to go back, it's better to go back than anything else!" The old grandfather breathed a sigh of relief, and enthusiastically pulled the man into the house: "Today's New Year's Eve, it's fate to meet. Come, come, drink and eat Let's go, I think you're exhausted, didn't you come here from outside?" Under the light, the old man finally saw the man's appearance, and suddenly he was in a trance. The carving seems to be charming, and it is definitely not an ordinary person. And... why does it look so familiar? Where have you seen...

The old man frowned for a while, thinking hard.

"Your house... I seem to have been here." The man suddenly said something, startling the old man.

"Ah...that's right, I've seen you, it's you!" The old man slapped his head.

The man's eyes looked around in the hall of the house. In the middle of the incense case, there was a huge portrait of a great man hanging on the incense case. There was also a black and white photo on the right side of the wall. It was this photo that suddenly reminded him of many years. The same picture as before. This family, he seems to have come.

No, the entire road leading to Qixia Mountain seems to have been passed before.

"There are not many people like you, I remember that it was spring and the weather was very good. One day you came to our house to ask for directions, ah, you gave me two thousand yuan at that time! That's it! You are you!" The old man was pleasantly surprised, pulled the old lady and said, "Chunmei, do you still remember, someone came to ask for directions a few years ago and gave me two thousand yuan as a thank you, thanks to the two thousand yuan at that time Xiaoxia I just finished high school! How can I remember this in my head! I really shouldn’t…”

The old lady's eyes are not as good as the old man's, and she still can't confirm it after looking for a long time.

The man was upset. He had been here before, passed by the same people, and met the same old man. At that time, the old man was frowning and looked sick. He asked the way, got the answer, and gave the old man a stack of cash. Countless. I still remember that the old man was so grateful at that time. After that, he was busy going up the mountain, and in a hurry... went up the mountain?

Holding the temple, the man closed his eyes and slowly shook his head. He met Master Yuan, a national practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, in the capital, and later went to see several elders on the recommendation of the old man. Today, on New Year's Eve, he hurried back from abroad. Before that, he had been in the United States for a week to see experts.

Everyone says he's brainless. It seems that only he himself knows that what he may have is just a disease related to Lu Ying.

Seeing his pale face, the old man hurriedly asked: "Are you feeling unwell? It must be freezing, hurry up to sit down and rest, drink hot tea, Xiaoxia, come here, come here, you can read Thanks to this big brother for the high school entrance exam..."

Lu Xiaoxia, a talented student who has already worked in a big city, is even more shocked than her grandfather, what the hell, this person looks like the one introduced in the magazine... such and such a young entrepreneur? Coincidence, definitely a coincidence!

As it approaches twelve o'clock, Qixia Mountain is quiet.

Lu Zaizai was already asleep, Qin Xiaotu and the adults stayed in the house to watch the Spring Festival Gala that was coming to an end, yawning from time to time boredom, watching TV on the mountain, but the mobile phone signal was very poor, From time to time, let alone surfing the Internet on a mobile phone.

Watching the singing and dancing on TV, Qin Xiaotu turned her head and yawned again, and caught a glimpse of Lu Ying beside her, looking down at her mobile phone, and couldn't help but look forward to: "Uncle Lu, your mobile phone can access the Internet? Why is there no signal on mine at all? ."

Lu Ying shook her head: "Mine can't either..." But he received a text message, the time showed that it was sent after 7:05pm.

【Lu Ying, I arrived in Qixia Town, are you in the store or at home? I will look for you. 】

It's twelve o'clock now, and he sees this text...

Lu Ying held the phone tightly and stared absently at the TV. What was on it, he didn't see it at all.

"Wow-Happy Year of the Pig!" Qin Xiaotu suddenly cheered, awakening Lu Ying, and the bell officially rang at twelve o'clock.

"Happy Year of the Pig!"

"Happy Year of the Pig!"

"Lu Ying, Happy Year of the Pig!"

"Happy Year of the Pig…"

Everyone cheered, surrounded Lu Ying with congratulations.

"Happy Year of the Pig!"

Lu Ying was full of smiles, and sincerely presented to everyone a small blessing bag made by herself. Each blessing bag has a different pattern, which corresponds to the zodiac.

Without missing anyone, Lu Ying finally said sincerely: "I wish everyone a prosperous Year of the Pig!"

"Thank you Lu Ying!"

Everyone put away the little lucky bag and smiled with satisfaction.

Old Xu put away the lucky bag, pointed to the night sky outside the window and smiled brightly: "Look, it's snowing outside."

"Wow, what a good year!"

"It's really snowing..."

"I really want to see the white Qixia Mountain when I wake up tomorrow, and it will be more perfect with the sunrise."

“I want to photograph the snow scene of Qixia Mountain…”

The crowd dispersed slowly, Lu Ying returned to the room where the cub was sleeping, looking at his chubby face, the heartbeat of holding the mobile phone was difficult to calm.

He got up and walked to the window, snowflakes fluttering outside, accompanied by the whistling cold wind, under the dim eaves lights, every snowflake was like a dancing firefly. It's beautiful and cold.

Lu Ying lowered her head and made a quick call.

Beep beep...No signal.

"Where are you going?"

A galloping shadow came out of the room, and Ji Xiaofeng, the night owl who was still guarding the TV in the hall, hurriedly howled.

"Help me watch the cub, I'll go back when I go!"

Lu Ying waved his hand and disappeared into the night without looking back. That person came to Qixia Town after seven o'clock, and the phone couldn't get through. He might still be at the door of the house...

Perhaps it is a bit inappropriate to think so, after all, I was disappointed. But... Lu Ying pondered that since he realized that he had been separated for almost a year, he had never broken his trust, even if it was just a small thing that he promised casually, he would follow it.

If people have arrived in Qixia Town, he feels that people must still be there. Maybe at his doorstep...

The New Year's Eve is not good at staying at home with the elders, what the **** are you doing in a remote town, and no one welcomes him, he doesn't come when he should come, and now I don't expect him to come Don't come by yourself.

It's already the first day of the new year, the first day of the year of the pig, hum, for the sake of the new year, he doesn't bother to be angry! New Year's Day can not quarrel. Find the person first, and then say Happy New Year, it is also his luck!

Lu Ying went down the mountain quickly, avoiding the villagers and walking towards the town. He looked at his mobile phone while walking, and when he left the mountain, the mobile phone signal suddenly improved. Lu Ying made a call immediately, 'The phone you dialed has been turned off...'

“…”

Lu Ying's galloping footsteps braked immediately, staring at the phone for a while, at a loss.

Where is it? Is it already gone...on the plane?

Standing under the thick night of flying snowflakes, Lu Ying took a deep breath and let the snowflakes fall on her face. This is much warmer than the ethereal snowflakes.

Lu Ying spit out a white mist, put her mobile phone in her pocket, and turned around gracefully.

From afar, the world is clear at a glance. It was a man who walked slowly and alone with an umbrella across an empty muddy water road, like a star still twinkling in the snowy night.

The snow is still falling, and the two figures are getting closer.

"Happy New Year."
