Chapter 1492 Return to the Cemetery
"Oh, the address of your mother's grave."
The middle-aged man was not surprised by the girl's question.
The girl on the phone a month ago explained it very clearly.
He was about to give the address, but a thought suddenly occurred to him and he changed his words, "When will you arrive in Yanjing?"
"I'll pick you up at the airport."
"Then I'll take you there."
"what."
The girl was slightly surprised, "How can that be possible?"
"Thank you so much, Uncle Chen."
"I wanted to go."
The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed and said what he was thinking, "You know, I can't see tomb ghosts."
"It's no use going alone."
"Of course, I actually have no reason to go..."
The middle-aged man laughed awkwardly, "It would be even more embarrassing to bother Xiao to accompany me."
"This time, I'll just take the opportunity to send you over so I can go over and take a look."
"When the time comes, I hope you can tell me something about the tomb ghosts."
It turned out to be the case.
A look of realization appeared on the girl's face.
The psychology of middle-aged men is not difficult to understand.
Apia is a monster.
The girl thought that anyone would be curious.
Monster...
She was really shocked when she heard Uncle Chen tell her this.
Did she see a monster?
Is she special?
To this day, she still feels a little unreal about this.
Perhaps, this erratic mood will not settle until she sees a ghost again with her own eyes?
……
"Then Uncle Chen, I'll trouble you."
The girl thanked him with a smile, and then told the other party the time she arrived in Yanjing.
"Ok."
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "Send me your flight information later."
"That way you won't make any mistakes."
"Ok."
The girl nodded. “I’ll send it to you after I hang up.”
"Then hang up the phone."
The middle-aged man said bluntly, "You are about to board the plane too. Check to see if you have forgotten anything."
"We'll see you in Yanjing then."
"Yes, Uncle Chen."
The girl's eyes curved into crescent shapes. "See you in Yanjing."
……
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and decided not to call Xiao.
What happened afterwards was actually "unnecessary" on his part.
There is no need to disturb classmate Xiao.
……
The next day, the middle-aged man drove to the airport.
He didn't go in.
There are too many people inside.
He later sent a message to the girl, saying that he was waiting for her at the airport gate.
The message also included the color and license plate number of his car.
To make it easier for the girl to identify it, he put a bamboo charcoal dog in the car on the roof.
Looking at that silly dog face, he thought, this should be very conspicuous, right?
From a distance, the girl saw the dog lying on the roof of the black car.
His pair of dead fish eyes and his embarrassing yet cute look made her laugh uncontrollably.
She walked straight towards the car.
Along the way, she noticed that many people's eyes were vaguely looking at the dog lying on the roof of the car, with smiles on their faces and slight laughter from their mouths.
"Uncle Chen."
The girl walked up to the middle-aged man who was leaning against the car door.
The middle-aged man straightened up suddenly, "Chu Kexin?"
He looked at the girl with short hair opposite him.
"Yes."
"Hello, Uncle Chen."
The girl stretched out her hand, "I'm Chu Kexin."
The girl's graceful manner made the middle-aged man laugh.
He held the girl's hand, "Hello, Chu Kexin."
"Welcome back home."
The two did not exchange much greetings. The middle-aged man took down the puppy on the roof of the car and asked the girl to get in.
The girl sat in the passenger seat, tilting her head to look out the window at the scenery flying past, a dazed look on her face.
She found her heart beating a little faster.
Maybe her situation is called homesickness? The girl couldn't help but curl her lips.
It's really useless.
She secretly blamed herself.
I had just set out when I started to feel nervous.
Isn't it too early?
Even though she told herself this, the girl was still nervous along the way.
And as the destination got closer, her hands on her knees unconsciously clenched together, her fingertips exerted force and slightly dug into the back of her hands.
……
"Chu Kexin, we're here."
The middle-aged man looked at the familiar mountains beside him and slowly stopped the car.
"right here."
The girl looked up at the mountains outside the car window and murmured, "Is this the place?"
Mother……
Ah Piao...
Although her heart was still beating a little too fast, a smile slowly appeared on her face.
Sorry to come see you so late.
……
"Let's go up."
The middle-aged man got off the bus.
"Ah."
The girl picked up her suitcase.
Inside was a small flower basket that she wanted to give to her mother and Pia.
Before she knew it, she had done too much.
Just consider it as an apology for not visiting them for so many years.
……
The girl followed the middle-aged man up the mountain.
She looked around, trying to find something familiar.
But I found that my heart was a stranger.
Has it really been too long since I last came?
The girl smiled bitterly.
……
"It'll be there soon."
The middle-aged man turned to look at the girl behind him, "It's just in front."
"How is it, does it feel familiar?"
he asked with a smile.
The girl shook her head.
"After all, you were still very young the last time you came."
Middle-aged men are not surprising.
The girl smiled.
Yes, she was too young at that time and knew nothing, so she put herself in a passive situation later.
Now that I've grown up, I know that those times can never be returned.
Fortunately, she can make up for it.
From now on, she will never break an appointment again.
I clearly promised my mother and Apia that I would visit them every year.
……
"arrive."
The middle-aged man couldn't help but smile.
His eyes subconsciously wandered around the tombstone.
Trying to see something.
The result, naturally, was as expected, nothing was gained.
Although it was expected, the middle-aged man was still a little disappointed.
He probably won’t be able to see a tomb ghost in his lifetime, right?
It’s really depressing to think about it.
He sighed slightly.
He has already known about the existence of the tomb ghost, so why not just let him see it?
God is too stingy.
He turned to look at the girl, "Chu Kexin, this is your mother's grave."
"Have you seen any tomb ghosts?"
"Is it here?"
He also suddenly remembered that classmate Xiao had said that tomb ghosts have no fixed place to live and wander around different cemeteries.
Therefore, the fact that he did not find the tomb ghost just now does not necessarily mean that he did not see the tomb ghost. It is also possible that the tomb ghost is really not here.
The middle-aged man shook his head slightly at his reluctance to give up.
Are you still dreaming?
……
The girl's eyes moved away from the photo of the woman on the tombstone and glanced around.
Then, a look of disappointment appeared on her face.
"No."
"I didn't see any ghosts."
