The so-called way to go is the way to return.

Yi Tianxing took the train back to Gaoyang County from the provincial capital, leaning against the green hard seat artificial leather, his eyes closed slightly, and smelling the smell of sweat from the carriage, he couldn't help but feel a sudden surprise, as if he had just returned to the train from Gaoyang County to the provincial capital a few months ago. At that time, Yi Tianxing had no burden on him. He had just realized the Buddha nature and the sky fire was about to grow. He cured several domineering tourists on the train, and happily cooked a bowl of instant noodles for himself with the high temperature of his palms.

Now he has achieved success in his practice in Guiyuan Temple, and his body is full of true fire, and he is even more familiar with the method. He is no longer like the first brother of the cultivation world. He can play with the true fire in his body anytime and anywhere. However, now he has no interest in playing with the tricks.

This is the result of getting tired.

He glanced at the crowd in the carriage with his eyes squintedly, sighed softly in his heart, then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

He had nothing to say along the way, and he didn't eat anything. I don't know how many hours passed, but the train finally stopped next to the dilapidated platform in Gaoyang County with a harsh creaking sound, and it was already late at night.

Jumping out of the car, Yi Tianxing took out a bottle of water from his schoolbag, took a big mouthful, then stared at the moon in the sky, and sighed: "Damn, my hometown is good, the moon is much brighter than the provincial capital!" The county towns in the mid-1990s had not had much pollution, and the night sky really seemed much cleaner than the large provincial capital. After watching the moon, he looked at the departing platform with the lights on the other side.

The busy coolies over there and the jingling carts over there are people or things he is familiar with. Before going to the provincial capital to study, he had carried a big bag here for many days in order to raise the tuition. However, he did not expect that when he arrived at the provincial capital, he became a young master of the Gu family for no reason, setting a record for carrying a big bag in the county town. The money he earned was still in his pocket and he didn't spend a penny.

Yi Tianxing raised his lips slightly upwards, then carried his schoolbag, and walked down the high steps of the county train city.

The county town is not prosperous. In the middle of the night, the lights of thousands of families have already gone out, leaving only the cold wind of the winter night and the breath of rest from the six or seven-story buildings on both sides of the street. Yi Tian walked on the empty street and was not in a hurry to go home, but walked slowly. With the reflection of the moonlight, he walked through the alleys and finally returned to the large shanty town by the river. The stone piers on the street that blocked cars were as old as before, dilapidated as before, and even the stench of garbage in the corner did not seem to change anything.

Looking at the familiar street scene, he was moved for no reason.

His small black room was still in the old place, and no one came to move, and the pace of urban demolition was too late to step into this dirty corner. Yi Tianxing screamed in a low voice, kicked open the door, and skillfully pulled the light rope with his left hand.

Suddenly, the entire black room was shrouded in the warm orange lights.

Even though he had no one lived in half a year, the dust in the room was so close to him. The bed was still hay, and Yi Tianxing lay down without thinking. It was so comfortable, it was more comfortable than the wooden bed in the school dormitory, the Zen room in Guiyuan Temple, and the large-class chair in Pengfei Industry and Trade... It was still the most comfortable at home.

He sighed and fell asleep. This was the best sleep he had ever slept in half a year.

The next day, just dawned, he woke up, turned off the small yellow light that had been lit all night, pushed the door out, and stared at Xiao Shiping, which was misty. Then he began to punch like in the past ten years before going to the provincial capital. After a set of punches, he found a dry towel, and wet it like a thief at the faucet of the neighbor's house, rubbed his face randomly, and then went into the house and pushed out the worn-out bicycle of 28.

The car was locked with iron chains. Yi Tianxing's scalp was almost broken and he didn't remember where the key was. So he held the iron chain with both hands, pulled the iron chain into two pieces with a light force, rode a free bicycle, and set off along the riverside towards Gaoyang County.

When he arrived at the gate of the county middle school, it was still early before school was over. He waited boredly, with one foot on the bicycle pedal and the other on the sidewalk, just as Lei Lei had been waiting for him before.

"Nailing ring."

The bell rang after school, and the students were gushing out happily. Yi Tianxing was paying attention to the short-haired girl who walked out of the school with a slight eye, but he didn't see the figure he wanted to see. Just as he was lost, he found a girl, a girl wearing a pink cotton jacket, riding a bicycle to the riverside.

This girl has no short hair, a playful and cute little petal sways gently behind her.

Yi Tianxing screamed strangely, recognized the 24th Sky Blue Bicycle, and quickly rode the bicycle and followed.

The riverside of Gaoyang County is still shrouded in a faint sunlight and oleander. The reunion of young men and women seems not as intense and romantic as described in the novel.

"Why did you run back?"

"Didn't you say you're going to come back to see you on New Year's Day?"

"Huh?" Zou Leilei turned her head cutely, and her black eyes were chaotic in Yi Tianxing's heart: "I haven't written a letter in the past thirty-seven days, and I haven't called for two months, and then... I suddenly came back?" After saying this, the little girl pushed the bicycle and rode forward.

Yi Tianxing quickly followed again and said with a saliva: "I miss you so much, so I'm back."

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet."

"Go to my house and ride it quickly, otherwise my mother will put the rice in the pot."

"Oh." Yi Tianxing responded frivolously, and he was really happy. This may be what attracted Zou Leilei the most - calm, free, casual - Yi Tianxing was clear. When a girl treats you with this attitude, she actually regarded you as the closest person.

"The legs are better?"

"What do you think?" Lei Lei rode the bicycle lightly and replied angrily, the inspiration of Yi Tianxing's heart.

"The hair is long, so beautiful." Yi Tianxing sighed.

"I went to the provincial capital for half a year, but I still talk so unnutrition." Leilei did not change her cheerful nature because of a long time reunion.

...

...

When I pushed open Zou Leilei's house, it was inevitable that Yi Tianxing would fabricate a lot of rhetoric to deal with the questioning of the surprised father Zou and the fat director. After finally finishing the investigation, he sat on the table to prepare for dinner. Yi Tianxing had seafood in the Crystal Palace in the provincial capital, vegetarian food in Baotong Zen Temple, noodles in Guiyuan Temple, and steamed buns in school, but no matter which one is, it is not as good as the food eaten at the Zou family.

Thinking about the four dishes and one soup I ate here in the first half of the year, Yi Tianxing still felt that the fragrance was left on his cheeks. The fragrance was unusual, but it was home-cooked.

After dinner, the two kind and cute elders stopped Yi Tianxing from washing dishes and flattering her, and drove the two young men and women into the inner room. Zou Leilei went to the bathroom and twisted a warm wet towel and handed it to Yi Tianxing. Yi Tianxing took it over with fear and fear, wiped it on her face with a strong slight vagueness, "It's yours, right? It smells like the smell on your body."

"I'm looking for death!" Zou Leilei took the towel back, looked at the stains on it and smiled bitterly, then looked back at her parents who didn't seem to be peeping, and laughed: "Want to smell the smell?"

Yi Tianxing thought that there was such a good thing? Thinking of it, his face would naturally reveal his reverie.

Zou Leilei snorted coldly: "Go to dream."

Yi Tianxing scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"Tell me, why did you come back suddenly? Is something wrong?" Lei Lei sat on the single bed covered with floral sheets, quietly looking at Yi Tianxing, with a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.

Yi Tianxing knew that the girl in front of him was concerned about him. While moved, he was a little afraid of what he was about to say. He thought for a while and said, "It's something to tell you, but it's not a big deal." He comforted himself in his heart. He might be a god or a monster, so what's the big deal. He thought again, if he was a god, he was really a god, and this matter seemed to be too small... He had to say, "But I miss you, this is the truth."

Seeing his serious expression, Zou Leilei burst out laughing.

"Don't laugh. I've lived a good life in the provincial capital, don't worry about it in the county." Yi Tianxing comforted her, but thought to herself: "I'm really doing well, damn, I've only seen dead people a few times, and things that only appear on TV a few times, such as you carry the load and I lead the horse."

"Why don't you say it?" Lei Lei, who was quite cheerful and cheerful, was a little annoyed.

Yi Tianxing begged for mercy and said, "The parents are all at home, so it's not convenient to say."

He originally intended to think that this would be enough for his close lover to know, and he would never dare to scare the two old men. Unexpectedly, Zou Leilei heard other meanings from this sentence. When she lowered her head, a hint of shyness appeared in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and her fingers subconsciously twisted her fingers into one place: "Will it be inconvenient for someone with such thick skin?"

To be honest, in the bizarre life in the provincial capital, Yi Tianxing did not think much about Zou Leilei's American time, but whenever the night is late, the woman's every frown and smile will come to her mind, giving him the courage and fun of life. The oath of "We will live in a big house in the future" seems to be ringing in her ears.

At this moment, seeing the little girl moving, Yi Tianxing could not stop her affection. She secretly turned her head to look at the whereabouts of Dad Zou and the fat director, rushed forward in a hurry, lowered her head and squirted on the red face of Miss Leilei.

It's fragrant and smooth...well, it seems to be coffee.

Zou Leilei couldn't expect this kid to attack suddenly. She couldn't help but be ashamed and annoyed, but she didn't dare to shout loudly, so she kept expressing her murderous hope with her eyes. Yi Tianxing sat on the chair but was savoring the fragrance. She smiled foolishly, and naturally she was not prepared to walk forward and use the long-lost ear-twisting trick...

With a scream of "Ah!", the only door of Yi Tianxing's Indestructible Vajra body was broken by Zou Leilei again. He covered his ears pitifully, but he missed this smell in his heart. It seemed that a voice rose from the softest part of his heart.

"It's so good, I'm pinching it again by this cute little hand."

The fat director who broke this kind of ambiguous and warm atmosphere was a bit out of place.

"Leilee, don't bully him!"

Zou Leilei almost rolled her eyes, thinking to herself who this person is? Yi Tianxing couldn't say anything, so she had to laugh and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

After the fat director went out, Lei Lei asked with a smile: "When did you come back?"

"Last night." Yi Tianxing was a little scared.

"Oh?" Lei Lei's big eyes flashed, "Are you sleeping in your room?"

"yes."

"It's really something that can only be said at night?"

Yi Tianxing thought for a while and said, "Yes, let's talk about it tonight."

"Okay, you can wait for me at home tonight." Zou Leilei was a little confused. He didn't know what important things the big boy who had stumbled back from the provincial capital had to tell him. This confused person also forgot to continue to punish his previous behavior.

In the afternoon, Yi Tianxing returned to the small dark room where he lived. He originally wanted to learn from the poor people who had been a few decades ago and strolled on the old lands of the garbage mountain where he thought he lived, but he couldn't find a house to pick up rags. He didn't know where the bamboo stick with the forked front end went. He thought about it and remembered that he stuffed these into his pocket and brought them to the provincial capital. Thinking of this festival, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. If he had known that he would have encountered so many divine things in the provincial capital, how could he have dared to dream of being a great rag king?

Thinking that Lei Lei was coming tonight, and that he would reveal his strange physique in front of Lei Lei at night, Yi Tianxing was naturally very nervous. He first dressed up a good life in the small dark room, of course, just doing cleaning work, and then went to the small pond to summon the little Zhuque. After a long time of care, although he was still not sure whether this little guy could increase his chance of passing in front of Lei Lei, he bit his teeth and thought to himself: Let's fight!

I was looking forward to Zou Leilei's arrival for a while, and I was afraid that Zou Leilei would come. In such a nervous mood, the night gradually came. Yi Tianxing went to the street to buy some snacks, and then he put his hands on his knees like a prisoner waiting for the review, sat straight, waiting for the girl's arrival.

With a creaking sound, Zou Leilei pushed the door timidly in and took a look. When she saw Yi Tianxing sitting on the bed, she covered her mouth and laughed secretly, and was relieved: "I have only been here once, and I almost couldn't find a place."

Yi Tianxing smiled and said, "Let's have dinner first, I'll tell you something after I finish eating." He tried his best to underestimate this matter, and then noticed a bag in Zou Leilei's hand.

"What is it?" He was a little curious.

Zou Leilei walked up, pushed him away boldly, took out the things in the bag, and spread the things in the bag on the bed. Only then did Yi Tianxing see clearly that it was a light green bedding. Yi Tianxing's tattered sheet had long been torn in half because of the fact that Xue Saner's leg was about to break Xue San'er's legs, and wrote a slogan and hung it on a big tree outside the seagull store.

"You really brought the bed?" Yi Tianxing scratched the back of his head.

Zou Leilei smiled and looked at him, "You promised to come back to see me on New Year's Day, and you really came back. I promised to buy you a new quilt, and of course I had to sit there too."

Yi Tianxing felt so heartwarming. He thought that there was a woman who cared about her and was the happiest and happiest thing in the world. His eyes were wet, but he quickly smiled and said, "Come again after dinner, let's lie on this new bedding for a while."

Zou Leilei rarely yelled at him, but said quietly: "Why always put on this clowny look on her face?" Yi Tianxing was silent for a moment and replied gently: "You know me the best, and you also know that I, a man, will always feel embarrassed."

Under the dim but warm orange light, the young man and woman began to attack the food on the table.

Lei Lei handed Yi Tianxing a piece of paper, then looked at him quietly: "Tell me, what's the matter."

Yi Tianxing looked at her eyes and found that Ning He's eyes were trust. He couldn't help panic for no reason. He fell silent. It took him a lot of time before he raised his head and said with some difficulty: "Do you still remember what I said to you one day by the river?"

Zou Leilei seemed to feel the atmosphere a little weird, and she laughed at herself and said, "I'm not a monster genius, you, and of course my memory is not as good as you."

"I asked you what if I was a monster?"

Zou Leilei smiled, showed her white teeth, and said sweetly: "You are a monster genius."

The little girl's answer was the same as the answer by the riverside at that time, and even her expression was the same. Yi Tianxing smiled speechlessly as he was at that time. He turned his head but could not see the river water on the side of the road flashing under the setting sun. He could only see the orange lights in his little black room blinking quietly like the eyes of a monster.

"I am just a monster." Yi Tianxing mustered up the courage to take out the power of saving the little Zhuque in Guiyuan Temple to play the stacked arhats, and fought out the determination to run towards Wudang with Qin Zier, and also brought a hint of the spirit of giving up when "birds pressed firebirds"... and said these seven words in a mosquito's humming voice.

There was a silence in the small dark room.

Yi Tianxing was a little scared and dared not speak. After a while, he raised his head but found that Zou Leilei was looking at him with a common pain in the TV series, with tears in his eyes.
