At 1:30 in the morning, if someone passes by the old alley at this time, they will find that the house on the second floor of Meimei Barber is the only light source in this street.

"First of all, I want to explain the location of Badong Village to you." Wen Liang found a tattered map from his bamboo sticks. The paste didn't come apart.

"What is this?" Ji Duan was a little disgusted. He looked at the densely circled circles with red markers on the map, and he couldn't accept it, "If you are really poor enough to buy a map, I will pay you for it. Whatever it is, don't throw it away."

"You don't understand, it's called feelings." Wen Liang carefully moved the map towards him, he stroked the cracked lines on the map and proudly showed off to Xie Jin, "The circles on the map are all It's the place I've traveled all these years."

As if feeling Ji Duan's unfriendly gaze, Wen Liang just pouted and looked for in the dense red circle.

"This is Tan Jiang, we start from here to the northeast, and we want to..." His hand slowly crossed the map, and finally stopped at a position that looked very close, "To Tian He, if you drive by yourself, at least More than eight hundred kilometers."

"But I only have a driver's license and no car..." Xie Jin remembered his SUV that was mortgaged two years ago. At that time, there was nothing he could do. He took out his mobile phone and clicked on the booking software, and started to check the next day's trains. , "We can only go there by other means of transportation, the bullet train that can go directly to Tian He... It seems that there is no one?"

"There is no direct route, I have seen this during the day." Wen Liang tapped on the map, "If you turn down, only ordinary green trains can get there, and Tian He is only our first destination. After getting off the train, we have to take the bus to If you go to Lipu County, if you go deeper, you may have to walk on your legs, and Badong Village is here."

The location of Wen Liang's finger was only blank on the map. He took out another brand new provincial map, and there was still no shadow of Badong Village on it.

"It's amazing." He leaned back and said with emotion, "Badong Village doesn't appear on the map at all. After all, I only found out about this village by asking around, but after all, I haven't verified anyone. If the law confirms whether it really exists, coupled with the serious rejection of the local villagers, do you really want to go and see for him?"

Wen Liang lit the tobacco in the cigarette rod, took a deep breath, narrowed his gray-blue eyes slightly, but stared at Xie Jin without blinking.

"Go, definitely go." Xie Jin didn't hesitate, his fists on his lap slowly tightened, he wouldn't miss this chance to unlock Ji Duan's curse, "When can we set off?"

"Don't worry, it has to be tomorrow as soon as possible. You didn't go there without any preparations. Are you not afraid of what the locals will do to you?"

Wen Liang's cigarette stick trembled between his fingers, he glanced at Ji Duan thoughtfully, and suddenly grinned, "You at least go buy some Tan Jiang local famous food or something, when the time comes, you will enter the village.When it's time to give gifts, maybe people will still treat us with respect?"

"Don't listen to this guy." Ji Duan took the napkin on the table and threw it at Wen Liang. Seeing that Wen Liang caught it accurately, Ji Duan said to Xie Jin, "If that village treats us with respect because of some famous food from other places, then How can there be rumors that the villagers reject outsiders?"

Xie Jin nodded. He believed Ji Duan more than Wen Liang was unreliable. No one of them had been to Badong Village, and they had never even heard of it before, so he still made the worst guess. it is good.

"Go buy some equipment during the day, and I'll give this guy a list of what you need." Wen Liang carefully put away his tattered map, and started yawning again, "Ha ah - find a mountaineering store, basically You can buy it all.”

He extinguished the smoking tobacco, swayed his body and walked to the second-hand sofa where he was sleeping. When he was about to fall into a drunken dream in front of him, Wen Liang suddenly remembered something and repeated to Ji Duan, "Remember to buy Equipment for three! Brat?"

Ji Duan didn't turn his head back, and pointed his middle finger in the direction of Wen Liang. He began to urge Xie Jin to go to bed: "Let's do this today, wake up during the day and I'll take you to prepare the equipment you need, eh?"

"Okay." Xie Jin secretly glanced at Wenliang's sofa, and soon there was a snoring sound on the sofa, and Wen Liang was already asleep. He was pulled by Ji Duan to wash, and after a trivial toss, the night returned to calm again.

Xie Jin sat up in bed early the next morning. He didn't sleep well last night, so he woke up early. When touched side, Ji Duan was not there, but there was a faint sound of pots and bowls touching each other in the kitchen.

He got out of bed and walked to the kitchen. When he passed the sofa, he found that Wen Liang had not woken up. Xie Jin slowed down his steps and looked towards the kitchen.

Ji Duan didn't know when it started, but it seemed that he had packed up neatly and was standing in front of the stove playing with the ingredients.

He heard the sound behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Xie Jin was leaning against the door to look at him. It was a bit funny that he was cautious in his own house. Ji Duan grinned at Xie Jin: "When did you wake up?"

"Just woke up." Soft light entered the kitchen from the small window, and smoothed his outline on Ji Duan. Xie Jin looked at the young man's teeth, and suddenly felt that all this was a little unreal.

Xie Jin suddenly walked over silently, wrapping his arms around Ji Duan's waist before he could react.

"Ji Duan." Xie Jin buried his face on the young man's generous back, and murmured in a soft voice that couldn't be softer, "You'll be fine, right?"

Xie Jin didn't exert any strength, but Ji Duan could feel his unease through this trembling movement.

"Uncle Xie." Ji Duan raised his hand and turned off the natural gas in front of him. He sighed deeply, "Don't be afraid, I know what you are worried about. Although Badong Village is still unknown, don't forget that Wen Liang is still there. ,nothing."

He easily broke Xie Jin's arm and took the person into his arms, "It's almost time, I'll make you breakfast, and we'll go out to buy equipment after eating, okay?"

Ji Duan looked at Xie Jin's little whirling, the man didn't pay attention to him, but buried his face in his chest, he didn't know what his expression was now.

"Get up, Uncle Xie, it will be cold soon." Ji Duan patted Xie Jin's face with the back of his hand, and said to him half-jokingly, "If you don't get up again, you will be seen by that guy, how do you explain it to him? Are you kidding me?"

The second after he said this, Xie Jin suddenly raised his head and took a step back. Ji Duan watched the man's face, except for a little red eye sockets, he didn't cry this time.

"Okay, come and eat." Ji Duan put away the imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, and straightened his body, "I'll bring you the meal first, and you go to wash..."

As soon as he walked out of the kitchen, he met the disdainful Wen Liang, and the two of them looked awkwardly, "You guys, did I hear just now..."

"You were sleeping just now, so you didn't hear anything." Ji Duan pulled up Xie Jin who was hiding behind him, walked around Wen Liang, who was determined to take the initiative, and walked to the computer desk, "Eat quickly, we will go out later."

This breakfast Xie Jin ate very hastily. He almost ate half of the sandwich into his mouth three times faster than usual, and then ran away, forgetting the big bag and mask that he must bring when going out. took it.

"Uncle Xie, what are you running for?" Ji Duan chased out the door with Wen Liang's playful smile. He caught Xie Jin on the corridor, but when he saw the man's face, Ji Duan almost couldn't bear it.Stop laughing.

"Hurry up and drink some water." He handed the cup in his hand to Xie Jin, watching the man finally get the food in his mouth, Ji Duan felt annoyed and funny, "Why are you running so fast, you can't even go to the store at this time It will definitely open."

He was very clear that he was asking the question knowingly, from Xie Jin's flushed ears, he could see that the man realized that the conversation between the two of them was overheard by Wen Liang, that's why he looked like a fleeing rabbit.

"Okay, it's all out, let's go directly." Ji Duan took the empty glass in Xie Jin's hand and stuffed it into his backpack, "Go shopping."

Because it was still early, and they had a miserable experience before, the two did not choose any means of transportation. Instead, they found the nearest mountaineering supply store on the map and walked there.

Compared with the new district where Jin Luowan was located last night, the old town is much more comfortable. It is only seven o'clock in the morning, and there is no morning rush hour here, and old men and women walking in the morning can be seen everywhere on the street corners.

Xiyang caged every corner it could reach with a faint golden light, and the old man who passed by beside him had an unknown species of bird in his cage, and the crowing was euphemistic and melodious. Xie Jin breathed the freshest air in the morning, and suddenly realized that he hadn't looked at the world carefully for a long time.

In the past few years, he has always felt guilty, so he closed himself up as a matter of course. He is afraid that he will be sorry for his former team members, and he is also afraid that he will be placed in the nightmare of the whirlpool of fear day after day.

He has always resisted all the negative pressure alone, slowly repaid the debt alone, and soaked in the night alone until Ji Duan appeared.

Ji Duan is like a variable caused by a program error, and he squeezed into his world very forcefully. It seems that since then, the number of nightmares has become less and less, and even in recent days it has become countable and even A night without dreams.

What is the reason? Xie Jin didn't know very well, he stared blankly at the handsome young man's side face, Xie Jin just knew that Ji Duan was very important to him now, and wanted him to stay by his side forever.

They walked for nearly two hours, and after following the navigation to find the mountaineering supplies store, they happened to catch up with the owner opening for business.

"Welcome...to come?" The boss was a little shocked when he saw Xie Jin who was covered in sweat. He hurriedly fetched Xie Jin a glass of water and handed it over, "Where did you come from? You're sweating all over."

The boss looked at this young man who looked very weak with some curiosity, and when Xie Jin's breathing became stable, he asked again, "What do you need? I'll introduce it for you or you can choose to see it yourself." ?”

"Ah, I have a list here." Xie Jin hurriedly took out the list that Wen Liang gave to Ji Duan in advance from his pocket, "Trouble, please recommend it to me according to the things on it."
