"If there are locals leading the way, that's fine. The tour guide just told me that the two brothers in the Tingyutang store are pretty good."

My mother agreed on the phone.

"Okay, then you go back to the hotel first and have a good rest. I'll see if I can discuss it with the tour guide and go back in advance."

Handed the phone back to the store’s younger brother.

"Then I'll trouble you."

I lowered my head and said.

"It's okay, my brother is quite idle anyway."

The shopkeeper replied with a smile.

"Then let's go now. My name is Xiao Han, where are you?"

"My name is Nangong..."

"Oh, by the way, it's raining outside, so you can use this umbrella first."

He picked up the red paper umbrella I had noticed before and handed it over.

"You may not understand the Wu Yu that my brother said just now. The one sitting on this umbrella is tung oil, which can drive away evil spirits. The ghosts and monsters smell it and run away. The red is also auspicious color, so this umbrella is a blessing umbrella. If you like it, please lend it to you first."

"Thank you, thank you..."

I followed Xiao Han and pushed open the wooden door and left Tingyutang. The store owner smiled and said goodbye to us.

"See you well!"

I nodded with restraint.

"Ha, my cousin is really too enthusiastic."

Xiao Han shook his head.

Strange, aren't they brothers?

Looking at my puzzled expression, Xiao Han just smiled without answering.

He was carefully observing his side face in the drizzle. He was smiling and staring at the river, probably enjoying the rain.

"Speaking of this, when you first entered the store, you seemed to be staring at the screen. Is there anything there?"

screen.

I remembered it.

Is it about another guest?

“Isn’t there another guest there?”

"One more?"

He was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.

"Don't scare me, you are the only one in the store except my cousin."

Is it an hallucination again?

Xiao Han continued with a smile.

"But that's right. This witch and female figure has been around since ancient times. It was called the God of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. It was not absurd to see ghosts in my shop."

He was talking about the sentences from Ling Meng in "The First Came Surprise", but that chapter was full of jokes about pretending to be a ghost. Since he said that, he must be laughing at me in a roundabout way.

If you open your defense, it would seem a bit naive, and you are also afraid that it would be better not to talk about the topic of eyes.

"Looking at your embarrassment, okay, let's not talk about this for now-"

The hazy raindrops blew up the river channel, and the sound of the oars coming from under the bridge slowly slapped on the water. The boatman saw Xiao Han waved.

"Isn't this the second young master of the Umbrella Selling Family? It's quite romantic when dating on rainy days!"

In the hazy rain and fog, the black shadow gradually became clear. It was said that there was a boatman wearing a raincoat and a baseball cap standing. Xiao Han squatted by the river and scratched his head shyly.

"No, Brother Gu, I'll take this guest back to the hotel. What about you? You'll also be rocking the boat on rainy days?"

"Well, tourists like this kind of rain scene the most."

From the perspective of tourists, I do think so.

"Oh, are you still used to rowing here?"

Xiao Han asked.

"Oh, how do you say it, it's easier than before."

It doesn't look like an old boatman.

"That's good!"

"Okay, I won't bother you on a date, I'm going to go!"

"Uh, Brother Gu, everyone said it was a tourist!"

The boatman ignored it and left with a smile.

"Hehe, he is a bachelor who likes gossip."

Xiao Han is by the bridge, and there is another bridge under the willow tree not far away. This structure should be the so-called double bridge.

"So what did the other guest you just said look like in the store?"

Xiao Han asked, he wanted to continue the topic just now, should I refuse to reply to him here, but I was miraculous in talking to this person, and I did not feel disgusted. This was something I had never seen before when talking to other strangers.

"It should be a man..."

"Men? What's it?"

"It seems like I'm wearing a black uniform..."

After hearing what I said, Xiao Han's expression became serious.

"Uniform?" He frowned slightly.

"Well, it seems to be the police uniform."

My father is a detective and often sees his uniform, so he is quite familiar with it.

"Where is that height, fat and thin?"

His voice gradually became louder and I couldn't help but take a step back.

"In terms of figure, it's probably similar to the boatman just now..."

He supported his forehead with his thumb, looking like he could faint at any time, and his breathing became rapid.

"How could this happen?"

He jumped off the bridge and came to me.

"Black police uniform, right?"

“It should be…”

He showed a very complicated expression and said to me in a very sad and strange tone.

"Another, can I accompany me to the store?"

Although I didn't understand at this time, I could more or less feel the feelings revealed by Xiao Han, maybe I was a deceased relative.

I didn't say anything, just nodded.

At this time, the right eye became painful, covered her eyes, and the burning sensation was transmitted to the cold hands.

That feeling again.

Feel the feeling of something that does not exist in the world.

The dark shadow that had just been talking in the blur faintly reflected into the pupils of the right eye. He stood on the other side of the bridge. His appearance was illusory and ethereal, just like the threat of the burning summer.

"What, what's wrong?"

He squinted his eyes and looked at where my eyes were.

“Is it there?”

I endured the pain and nodded.

"But I... can't see it."

yes.

Like everyone else.

If others could see it, would I still be alone like this?

It started to feel uncomfortable again, it was so painful.

“It’s Caohu Xu Lane.”

He held my hand tightly.
