Chapter 46 Chapter Sixteen

On June 19, 2011, the same moment. Yin Yu came to the bus stop opposite Nanming High School. She was wearing a white school uniform with a black schoolbag hanging on her back. Her short hair was even more heroic, and she couldn't hide the young woman's face. Sixteen-year-old Si Wang was waiting for her. Yin Yusheng approached casually: "Hey, you boy! Didn't you come to see me specially? How is the high school entrance examination?" "It's not bad. I'm waiting for the results to be released. I hope I can reach the score line of Nanming High School. Come back here to be your alumni. What about you?"

He was leaning on the edge of the stop sign, with the wind blowing from his open collar, which attracted the passing girls to turn their heads. "The college entrance examination just ended a few days ago, I think I'm going to Hong Kong." "Huh? Why didn't you tell me?" "I applied for the University of Hong Kong, and I have passed the interview." She, who is about to wander around the world, combed her short hair, "I am not suitable for the university here. I am afraid that even if I am admitted to Tsinghua University, I will be forced to drop out soon." , it’s better to go to Hong Kong, where you can be less restrained.”

"So, I won't see you in the future?" "I will come back to see you often!" She patted Si Wang on the shoulder, also leaning on the advertising light box, letting the setting sun shine on her face.Many high school students who had just left school, including some beautiful girls in skirts, cast strange glances at them, wondering how this famous tomboy would be with a strange handsome guy? Suddenly, he asked a question in a low voice: "Have you ever been to the Witch's Quarter?" "Pediatrics! Let me tell you, this area used to be a cemetery. Ruan Lingyu's tomb is underground in the Witch District. She is from Cantonese, and she was buried in the Cantonese Cemetery after her death. It was called Lianyi Villa at that time. Free park. After entering the gate, pass through an ant bridge. There are many Chinese classical buildings, some of which are parked with coffins, and some are dedicated to gods and Buddhas. Most of the tombs are made of stone, which is antique. There is a circle of stone walls at the back, a typical southern chair-style tomb. Some imitate the tombs of emperors, and there are secret passages leading directly to the underground palace. Shabby, the tombstone is only one meter high, and her last smile is on the ceramic photo. During the "Cultural Revolution", the entire cemetery was demolished, and schools and factories were built. By the way, the library of Nanming Middle School is actually a part of the cemetery building back then, a temple dedicated to the spirits of the dead."

Yin Yu said it a little proudly. Many boys and girls have puppy love in this library, but they don't know that it used to be a scripture hall full of spiritual seats... "Didn't you say that people died there?" "Dead people? That's a very normal thing. Is there anyone who won't die after birth? Ha ha, so the most important thing I want is a decent burial. After death, the ashes are burned and scattered in the sea before they end up clean!" "Why are you so familiar with Ruan Lingyu's tomb? Only those who have experienced it personally can do this. Didn't you say that it was demolished during the 'Cultural Revolution'? How did you see it? Could it be that you attended her funeral?"

"yes." The eighteen-year-old girl answered bluntly, which left Si Wang speechless. He paused for a moment and thought of something again: "Ask another question—you said that in 1983, you lived on Anxi Road in your previous life, and an accident happened in the opposite house. A murder case, so that people still go to the building?" "Yes, what's the matter, sir?" The wind suddenly picked up and wrinkled a pool of spring water. "Do you remember a child? He was thirteen years old, and his grandmother was a servant in the basement of the house you lived in."

"Aunt Yun's grandson?" "good." "Yeah, Aunt Yun is my servant—I'm not a rich man, but I'm over eighty years old and full of injuries. In order to compensate for my grievances and sufferings, the state hired Aunt Yun through the neighborhood committee to take care of my life. Daily life. Her health is beyond ordinary people, and she can do all kinds of dirty work. She has only one daughter, who was murdered to death a few years ago, leaving a child alone. I feel sorry for Aunt Yun and her grandson, so I took them in. They lived in the basement. I forgot the boy's name long ago, I just remember that he was a good student, and later he was admitted to a key high school."

Si Wang listened to all this silently, with a weird expression on his face. Yin Yu went on to say, "I watched him turn from a primary school student into a junior high school student. Without parental discipline, he didn't learn badly. I often saw him in the basement, relying on Doing homework with a dim light. He loves to read very much. I once lent him a set of vernacular books. The children on Anxi Road, no one wants to play with him. Occasionally, a few contacts will break out into fights. He will be beaten black and blue. And he is just the grandson of a servant, how dare he come to settle accounts? Aunt Yun is very superstitious, always worried that this child looks bad, and maybe his life will not be long in the future."

This passage made people even more dull, and he quickly changed the subject: "I've been binge-reading science books for the past two days. I don't think there is such a thing as reincarnation. It's just that some people have a kind of reincarnation from birth. A super power to carry the entire memory of another long dead person." Yin Yu's face changed slightly, revealing the old man's unique suspicion: "Well, even if I have the memory of a man, the memory of a man born in 1900." "1900? The year the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing?"

"Yes, in the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu, the Gengzi Incident occurred." "Do you remember what happened that year?" "Please, brother, I was just born that year!" She watched the sunset gradually rise from the sky, and Nanming Road was covered by the golden sunset, she couldn't help closing her eyes and chanting, "Where does the Taoist priest planting peaches go? Lang is here again." "This poem is so familiar! Let me think about it?" "You Ming Lu written by Liu Yiqing in the Southern Dynasties records that in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Chen and Ruan Zhao went to Tiantai Mountain. They went deep into the creek like a peach blossom garden. They met two young girls and welcomed them to their home as guests. Liu and Ruan Erlang were like entering a fairyland. They asked each to stay in a tent, and the women went to her, and their voices were clear and gentle, which made people forget their worries. They lived with the beautiful women for half a year, and finally missed their hometown. By the time the two went down the mountain, the village had already changed beyond recognition. In the Jin Dynasty, more than 200 years have passed since they entered the mountain. The descendants of that year have reached the seventh generation. .”

"Sounds like a Washington Irving story." Yin Yu patted him on the shoulder: "Boy, I'm still an old man's confidant! Liu Yuxi was demoted to the frontier several times in the Tang Dynasty. When he returned to Chang'an Xuandu Temple for the second time, his eyes were full of desolation, so he sighed with emotion" Liu Lang is here again today'." "Are you also the former Liu Lang?" Seeing that she hadn't responded for a long time, Si Wang apologized, "Am I being too abrupt?" "In the 20th century, at the beginning of the Gengzi Year, I was born in a dilapidated scholar's family. Fortunately, my uncle who was a businessman sponsored me to leave my hometown to study. On May 4, 1919, I was in the square, and the burning of the Zhaojialou I have a copy. Unexpectedly, the next year, I went to study in Japan—by the way, have you seen Sora Aoi?” Seeing his distressed face, Yin Yu waved his hand and smiled, “Now I am a daughter. Not interested at all. But in my previous life, I had an affair with a Japanese woman. When I was studying in Nagasaki, there was a woman named Anna who fell in love with me so much that she died for me. I don’t remember her Her original name is gone, she is a Catholic and only remembers her Christian name."

"You are so fickle!" Yin Yu blushed and bowed her head in shame: "So, I left Japan and took a boat to study in France. First I went to Paris, lived in Montmartre, and then went to Provence, the city of Grasse full of lavender fragrance. Sartre was a classmate, and I often saw Hemingway, Joyce, and Pound in Shakespeare & Company. Have you read it? I read the first draft—in front of Hemingway. I lived in France for four years. It’s such a colorful world. But it was getting worse, and I didn't want to waste time, so I made the most fashionable and passionate choice of the year - to go to Moscow! When I crossed the European continent and arrived in the snowy Moscow, I saw the Lenin Mausoleum on the Red Square and the Kremlin Cathedral The red star on the spire, the torrent in my heart, the admiration and pride in my chest. I was admitted to Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow and met my mentor and prophet. In 1930, I was implicated in a certain incident and was expelled from the Soviet Union. Moscow As a result, Sun Yat-sen University was closed.” "Have you returned home?" "Yes, but I must keep my name anonymous and live in the concession. Once caught by the Kuomintang, I will be imprisoned or even shot. I can't participate in the revolution either. They consider me a traitor, Chen Duxiu's accomplice and lackey. I can only mix in the literati circle I spent my whole day reciting poems and composing and drinking for pleasure. In order to make a living, I worked as a teacher, reporter, and editor, and wrote serials of martial arts novels for tabloid newspapers. I edited Xiao Hong’s and read hers a few years later. time, but I really like that Northeast woman, and I really want to write a book called it in my lifetime." "The river of life and death?" "There is also Wangchuan water and Mengpo soup! The Anti-Japanese War broke out, and I went into exile in the mainland, Wuhan, Chongqing, Chengdu, and finally Kunming on the border, just like Liu Yuxi who was exiled far away. The Southwest Associated University cannot tolerate my heresy. Mountains and mountains went to the Tibetan area and went straight to the vast snow-capped mountains. I lived in seclusion for several years in a real paradise, and returned to the mainland after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. I was in my forties until I met her." "You mean—Miss Cao?" "She is an extremely intelligent woman, and I am fascinated by her. But she is a married woman, and her husband is a bureaucrat, and she does not love him. In the sound of gunfire in 1949, her husband abandoned her on a ship to Taiwan , and she had the opportunity to find him through Hong Kong, but she chose to stay here." "because of you?" "But I was a so-called traitor, and she was the wife of a Kuomintang official—she stayed for me, but I was separated from her for thirty years, and when we reunited, she was over eighty years old, and she was an old woman. The old house I took you to was handed down by her father, and the country redistributed the house to her. We live on the same road, and we rarely see each other a few times a year. Haha, that's good, so as not to hurt each other. I have loved and hated many people in my life, but after all, my fate was rough, I did not find a woman who could marry, and of course I never left any offspring—this is my biggest regret in my previous life!" "You want to have kids?" "It's better than being reincarnated like this now. There is a child who can carry your genes and pass them on to the child, so that your life is truly endless. My old age is long and bleak, and Ms. Cao is the only one. People who can communicate with me, there will also be foreign reporters who come to interview me, asking anecdotes about the big men who made the wind and rain, but I am bored. I really wanted to die earlier, but I didn’t expect to live to ninety-two At the age of 10, he died lying in bed." "Living too long makes you hopeless? What if you die young?" "Student Siwang, you won't understand!" "The last question, have you written it yet?" "I wrote it in Qinghai when I had nothing to do. It took thirty years, and then I set it on fire." "why?" "Actually, I have been writing this book every minute and every second in the past, and so are you!" The young man pondered for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, and clasped his hands together like the ancients: "Brother Yin Yu, although I don't know what your name was in your previous life? But we can become friends who forget the year, and it can be regarded as fate in the dark. We part today and I don't know when we will meet again ,treasure!" She cupped her fists in the same way: "Okay! Brother Siwang, I'm going back to the dormitory to pack my luggage, there will be a date later!" "Just two glasses of water and wine!" "More than 90 years ago, I was about to travel far away from home. Mr. Li Shutong had just shaved his hair and became a monk in Hangzhou Hupao. My uncle was his best friend. A song with lyrics by him." After Yin Yu finished speaking, he sang this song boldly—— Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, there are fragrant grasses and green sky. The sound of the willow flute blows in the evening wind, and the setting sun is beyond the mountains. At the end of the sky, at the corner of the earth, half of friends are scattered. A cup of turbid wine to make the rest of the fun, don't dream about the cold tonight. At the end of the song, people dispersed. She didn't say another word, and smiled slightly. In the man's valiant and heroic demeanor, there was actually a bit of allure. Yin Yu walked to Nanming High School across the road, and within a few steps, he looked back at Si Wang, but he shouted in panic: "Be careful!" A multi-ton earth-moving truck, like an out-of-control bull, came on a rampage from the west end of Nanming Road. The piercing squeal of the brakes did not slow down the speed of the front of the car, and the wheels splashed billows of mud and dust, knocking her into the air. she is flying. In an instant, Yin Yu fell from a high altitude in front of Si Wang, on the hard asphalt road. He was stunned by the sudden disaster. Following the screams of the girls around him, he knelt down tremblingly and hugged her soft and deformed body. Blood blurred her forehead and cheeks, gushing out from her mouth...
