Zhang Yichi, who was wearing a jacket, camouflage pants, and Martin boots, was sitting in the passenger seat of a pickup truck and slowly closed the computer. The car shook slightly, and there was a clanging sound from behind. He put the computer on the back seat and held it.
The camera got out of the car: "How was it?"
squatting behind the car, still wearing a leather jacket, frowned and patted the dirty things on his hands: "The situation is a bit complicated, I have to study it further. What's wrong with you? You don't want to write a novel anymore?"
"Have a rest." Zhang Yichi walked straight to the roadside with his camera, knelt down on one knee, and took pictures of the vast Tengger Desert. "We are pressed for time. If it doesn't work, don't repair it. Just transport the car over."
"That's very unfulfilling, okay?" Mozhi has always disliked using his superpowers. "How can I live so long and not even be able to repair a car? Wait for me for another thirty minutes! I guarantee that I can restore this car.
To factory level!”
Zhang Yichi didn't reply. He picked a good angle to take a photo, and then went deep into the desert: "Then you can practice it first, and I'll take some photos."
The scorching sun scorched the desert, and the gentle breeze blew a layer of sand to the side. Zhang Yichi's boots made footprints one after another. When he reached the high point of the desert closest to the road, he slowly
Sit down and look out over the endless desert.
After the end of the world of reincarnation, Zhang Yichi and Mo Chou began a two-year trip. During this period, they traveled to every corner of the world and were looking for solutions to high-dimensional creatures. Unfortunately, high-dimensional creatures
There is still no progress in the biological matter, but Zhang Yichi's mentality has become much calmer.
In addition, the two of them also did some more meaningful things. For example, Zhang Yichi avoided the sensitive things of the reincarnation world during his long journey and wrote "The Laugher" based on his own experience. Thanks to him
The writing style is good and the real content touches people's hearts. This novel is highly praised on the Internet. Mobi helped the police crack down on more than ten adulteration fraud cases. As for why Mobi has always been troubled by this type of case, Zhang Yichi
Under the unpredictable glare, he said he had no comment.
"Old Zhang!"
Unpredictable's voice was loud, and even after such a long distance, Zhang Yichi still felt a shock in his ears. He turned around and saw Unpredictable kicking the butt of the pickup truck in displeasure, and because of this
My feet almost fell to the ground.
Seeing that this situation is probably unpredictable, there is nothing that can be done about this pickup truck that has been strong for many years. Zhang Yichi stood up, returned to the roadside, smiled and stroked the car body: "What? Didn't you say that you are very good at repairing cars? Thirty minutes
Can it be restored to factory condition?”
"The main reason is that the parts are no longer working. I can't repair it without the parts. Come on, get in the car, find the nearest garage, leave the car there and repair it first, and let's continue on our way." Mo Zhi wiped his hands clean and got on
Got the car.
After Zhang Yichi got into the passenger seat, Mozhi directly used his superpower to push the pickup truck forward. It looked like the car was speeding normally: "If I had known, it would be better not to repair the car. I squatted there for half an hour and suddenly
I almost fainted when I stood up."
"Orthostatic hypotension is particularly common among elderly people like you. It is recommended that you learn to stand slowly in the future." Zhang Yichi flipped through the photos in the camera and said leisurely.
"In the past two years, you haven't learned to be humble and steady with me, but you have learned to have a sharp tongue, right?" Mo Zhi said with a cheeky face, "As a person of your grandfather's grandfather's generation, I usually don't ask you to bring tea or water.
, but at least we should be respectful, right?"
"You are so poor." Zhang Yichi glanced out the window and lit a cigarette.
This trip is to go back to Datong. Zhang Yichi has not been back for two years since he said goodbye to his mother before the last reincarnation. Now that the trip is over and his mother's death anniversary is approaching, Zhang Yichi wants to rush back to visit his mother. In addition,
That is to live stably. During this time, he earned a considerable amount of royalties from manuscripts. In addition to his original savings of nearly one million, he plans to open a bookstore. Whether he makes money or not is not important. The main thing is that he has something he likes to do.
In the afternoon, the two of them had left the pickup truck at the garage and arrived at Lanzhou Railway Station. Originally, Mu Zhi wanted to fly back to save time and effort. But Zhang Yichi preferred to take the train, so at his insistence
Next I took the train.
"Please give way." Mo Zhi fought his way through the crowded aisle and successfully found their seats. After putting the box away, he sat on the aisle seat and breathed a sigh of relief, preparing to talk about Zhang Yichi.
I was so lazy that I allowed myself to carry two boxes alone, but I found Zhang Yichi helping a quiet girl in the seat opposite to put the suitcase. Seeing this scene, the unpredictable dissatisfaction disappeared immediately, and a happy father-in-law smile appeared on his face.
"Thank you." The girl thanked Zhang Yichi.
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Yichi sat down and turned on the computer to proofread the manuscript.
Seeing that there was no follow-up, Mo Bo bumped Zhang Yichi's shoulder pretending to be nonchalant. After Zhang Yichi turned his head, he mouthed and asked: "Why don't you add me on WeChat?"
"Add WeChat?" Zhang Yichi looked confused and said directly, "Why should I add someone else's WeChat?"
The girl raised her head and looked over. She glared at Zhang Yichi, then her expression immediately changed, and she explained hesitantly: "What, you, what are your ears? What I'm asking is, has the temperature dropped? Datong weather.
How about it, will our half-sleeves get frozen if we go there?"
"Oh, the weather in Datong is nice, half sleeves are just right." Zhang Yichi replied seriously, and then continued to stare at the computer screen to proofread the manuscript.
Seeing this, Mu Zhi beat his chest crazily and sighed in his heart. This old straight man is too straight. If he continues like this, he may not be stable and single even after he is thirty years old.
An hour later, Zhang Yichi sent the proofread manuscript to the editor. The week's work was completed. He closed the computer, rubbed the bridge of his nose and looked out the window. Outside were mountains and plains of vegetation, which looked quite beautiful. Zhang Yichi
Chi subconsciously took out his camera and took a picture.
After taking the photo, he glanced casually and unexpectedly fixed his gaze on the girl sitting opposite. The girl had thick eyes, was wearing neat clothes, and was flipping through the book with her slender hands. Although she couldn't see the cover and the cover of the book because of the angle.
content, but Zhang Yichi still recognized the book at first glance as "Walking Without Stopping" written by Hirokazu Kore-eda.
Perhaps sensing the gaze, the girl raised her head and looked at Zhang Yichi. Zhang Yichi did not look away in a panic because the girl looked up at him, but said, "You like this book very much?"
The girl tilted her head slightly and pushed up her glasses.
Zhang Yichi explained: "I just observed that this book "Walking Without Stopping" seems to have been read many times, so I guess you must have read it many times."
Unexpectedly, Ben was watching a soap opera and suddenly noticed that Zhang Yichi's wasteland seemed to be blooming. He immediately became excited. Before the girl could say anything, he pointed at Zhang Yichi enthusiastically and introduced him: "His name is Zhang
Yichi, 26 years old, is a professional writer. He has a house and a car, and plans to open a library of his own."
Zhang Yichi looked helplessly at the gushing unpredictable man, and finally looked at the girl, shrugged and spread his hands.
The girl covered her mouth and smiled softly and asked: "You also like this book?"
"Due to family problems, I relied heavily on this book for a while. I felt that it would give me some answers when I was confused at that time." Zhang Yichi replied, "Therefore, I read it probably hundreds of times."
Next, the two chatted about topics that Mozhi couldn't understand, but Mozhi, who insisted on being Lao Zhang's wingman, still looked thoughtful, chiming in a few words from time to time, trying his best to show that I heard what you were talking about.
Gotta understand.
After the topic unfolded, I found that although the girl had not read Zhang Yichi's book, she had heard about the book "The Laugher" and promised to read Zhang Yichi's books after reading "The Walking".
At this point, he finally reached an unpredictable and half-understood area. He stood up, opened his suitcase, took out a copy of "The Laugher" signed by Zhang Yichi and handed it to the girl: "I also have
Keep one copy, can you take it?"
"Why do you carry my book with you?" Zhang Yichi looked uncertain.
Mozhu handed it to the girl and sat down: "This is called foresight."
"You're not using my book to cheat, are you? I think you can only do this kind of thing." Zhang Yichi looked suspicious.
"Damn it, why can't you give me some face in front of this girl? What do you mean that I can only do this kind of thing? I have been upright and innocent all my life, and you have to tell me whether I am still alive?
"
The girl laughed. Zhang Yichi was too lazy to argue with Mo Zhang. He turned his head to one side and calmed down for a long time before looking at the girl again. The soft sunlight from outside filtered in and shone on the girl's flawless face.
So beautiful.
Zhang Yichi thought to himself, then took out the camera in his bag and said, "Can I take a photo of you?"
"Ah? Why..." The girl was a little wary.
Zhang Yichi held the camera and said sincerely: "I think the sun shining on you while you are reading is beautiful, so I want to record this moment. You can take the photo away after taking it, I will not save it."
The girl listened carefully to Zhang Yichi's words, stayed for a few seconds and said, "Okay then. What do I... need to do?"
"Keep reading, stay natural, and ignore me." Zhang Yichi replied. After the girl did so, he picked up the camera, found the right angle and took a photo. After showing it to the girl, the girl was very satisfied, and Zhang Yichi
Then he said: "Add your contact information and I will send you the photo."
The girl was stunned. She slapped her thigh and laughed loudly: "Oh my, Lao Zhang, I thought you really just wanted to take photos, but I didn't expect that you took a big detour because you wanted to become friends. I have to say
, your method is too old-fashioned."
"Huh?" Zhang Yichi was a little confused, and soon understood what Mu Zhi meant. Then he thought that he really liked this girl, so he said, "That's right. Are you going to Datong?"
"...Yes, travel." The girl replied.
Zhang Yichi said: "It just so happens that I am also returning to Datong to settle down. Although I have lived in Datong for more than 20 years, there are indeed many places that I have not visited. If you want to see some of Datong's scenic spots, historical sites and natural scenery, then
I can go and see it with you."
Mozhi was stunned on the side: "You are too direct..."
What was unexpected was that the girl actually smiled and readily agreed. The two exchanged contact information generously and made an appointment to go on a trip together the next day after arriving in Datong. The next morning, the train arrived at Datong Railway Station.
.Because the girl had already booked a hotel, Zhang Yichi didn't bother to help arrange anything. After the girl got in the car and left, he and Mo Chou returned to the house where they originally lived.
This house was sold to an elderly couple two years ago. Now the children of the elderly couple want to send the elderly to live in a nursing home, so Zhang Yichi naturally bought it back. Although the house price has increased a lot in the past two years, Zhang Yichi
Chi doesn't care about the price difference. Fortunately, the old man is not a fickle person, and the general layout of the house has not changed after living there for two years.
"Oops." Mo Zhi lay down on the sofa as soon as he entered the house, "This house seems to have returned to two years ago. Lao Zhang, why don't you celebrate when you come back to live again? Let's cook some good food and have a drink.
"
Zhang Yichi changed into his slippers and walked around the room: "In the evening, you can order takeout for lunch and clean up. I'll go to the cemetery first after putting away the things, and then I'll go to the cemetery in the afternoon.
Go buy some food."
As soon as he heard that the house was being cleaned, he was immediately unhappy: "Isn't this quite clean? No need to clean it."
"It's been two months since anyone lived here. Can't you see it's all dusty?" Zhang Yichi pushed the suitcase into the bedroom and went to the door to change his shoes. "When I come back from shopping for groceries, I hope to see every room."
The house is all clean.”
"This, this, this..." Before Mo Zhi could say anything else, Zhang Yichi was already out the door.
After leaving the house, Zhang Yichi took the bus and first went to a flower shop to buy a bunch of carnations, and then went straight to the cemetery. When he came back after two years, he felt a sense of familiarity and strangeness, which made him quite emotional. He walked all the way
I walked to my mother's tombstone, knelt down and wiped it carefully: "Mom, long time no see. I have traveled all over the country in the past two years, and this is the first time I have not been with you for such a long time. Thinking about it, it should be so, some things I can't let go of.
I should have let go a long time ago..."
This time Zhang Yichi didn't stay long before he got up and said goodbye to his mother. In the past, even if he came only once a few days, he would sit and talk to himself all afternoon, but this time after not returning home for two years, he didn't think much about it.
It’s time to talk. This is also a sign of relief. You don’t have so much to worry about, and you have less to say.
"You must hope that I look like this now." Zhang Yichi gently placed the carnation in front of the tombstone, "Thank you. I'll leave first and come back to see you later."
After leaving the cemetery, Zhang Yichi went back to the vegetable market near the community to buy some vegetables. After returning home, he saw Mo Chou enthusiastically humming Cui Jian's "Rock on the New Long March Road" and mopping the floor: "I thought I was back
You're still lying on the sofa without moving at all, so you're pretty good."
"Wow? That's not bad?" Mo Zhi threw the mop on the ground, "I've worked hard until now, and it's not bad? Then what do you mean by great?"
Zhang Yichi did not respond, but walked to the table, took out a piece of paper and wiped it, then ran to another room and wiped it all: "I think you saw that I was coming back soon, so you reluctantly left the sofa.
Get up and pretend to mop it with a mop, right? Except for the living room floor being mopped a little, the rest of the place is the same as it was before I left."
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】
"What are you talking about?" Mo Zhi picked up the mop with a look of resentment and continued to drag it, "Okay, okay, I'm going on and on and on, why can't I clean it? You said you are a grown man, so loving
Clean for what?"
"I haven't said anything yet, and normal people like to be clean." Zhang Yichi was too lazy to talk to Mo Zhi, "I'm going to cook, so hurry up and clean up."
Unexpectedly, he started cleaning up, and Zhang Yichi went to the kitchen to pack things: "By the way, I'm going to go out with that girl starting tomorrow. What are your plans? Are you going to come with us or what?"
"Can I disturb the world of you two? You should take good care of it yourself. I am all alone and can only go to yoga classes to continue learning yoga." Mo Zhi pretended to be pitiful, "Oh... you are still young, I am different, Xiao Sanbai
I am old, I am philanthropic..."
"Okay." Zhang Yichi responded and started cooking.
In the evening, Mo Kei had cleaned the entire house, and Zhang Yichi also cooked a sumptuous dinner. Mo Kei, who was too tired to move at all, saw the delicious food being served to the table, and sat up from the sofa:
"Or you have to watch our boss cook while cooking. Just smelling this smell makes your appetite whet your appetite."
"Let's eat." Zhang Yichi brought two more bottles of beer, opened them with a screwdriver, and drank one bottle for each person.
After eating, Zhang Yichi felt a little sleepy, so he took a shower and was about to go to bed. Mo Kei said that he wanted to watch a football game for a while. Zhang Yichi ignored Mo Kei and went back to the bedroom to rest. After waking up the next morning
, Unpredictable has disappeared, leaving only a note on the table: Lao Zhang, I am very happy to see you return to a normal life. You also know that I am a restless person. I see you have stabilized.
, I can rest assured and continue to wander around the world. By the way, I will also look for solutions to high-dimensional creatures. You don’t have to worry about me, I will come here from time to time to cook a meal you cooked. That’s pretty much it.
Wait, I'm going to catch a plane, bye!
After reading the note left by Mo Chou, Zhang Yichi smiled slightly, turned on his phone and sent a message to Mo Chou: "Be safe."
Just after the message was sent, the girl he met on the train yesterday called. Zhang Yichi picked up the phone and asked where they met. Zhang Yichi went out and saw the pickup truck parked downstairs: "
