Mysterious country

(I will continue to ask for monthly votes in the new month. I also hope that everyone will support me. The country will become better and better.)

Sui Jinxi rubbed the corners of his wrinkled eyes with some uncertainty and looked towards the cemetery again. However, this time he saw clearly that there was indeed a person burning paper in front of his son's grave.

"Who's there?"

Sui Jinxi was very surprised by this, because although his wife had returned from the hospital in the town today, she had not fully recovered yet. It was hard to hear that she could not even get out of bed, otherwise it would not have been possible for him to come here alone.

Excluding his wife, only his daughter-in-law was left. However, they had talked on the phone before, and his daughter-in-law had no intention of burning paper. As for his son's friends, it was even more impossible.

After standing there and thinking for a while, Sui Jinxi hesitated and staggered back towards the cemetery, intending to get closer to see who was there.

Walking lightly, Sui Jinxi stopped by a locust tree not long after. Standing here, he could almost have an unobstructed view of the entire cemetery.

Because it was not a holiday, and no one in the village except his home had been busy lately, so only his son's grave was glowing with a faint light of fire.

In front of his son's grave, he saw an old man in his 50s, hiding his face and tremblingly crying.

That person was none other than himself!

Sui Jin couldn't help but open his eyes in disbelief after seeing it, because that person couldn't be him, because he was standing right here, and he had already burned the paper just now.

"What the hell, what the hell!"

Sui Jinxi thought with fear, not daring to stay any longer at this time, and hurriedly turned around and left the cemetery quickly.

It was completely dark. Every house in the village had lights on. The children who were playing on the village road had been called back by their parents. There was not a single soul in sight on the long and narrow road.

He walked and stopped all the way, his head constantly looking behind him. For some reason, he felt like he was being followed. He felt that if he just stopped like this, it wouldn't take long for him to disappear from the darkness. Someone will come out.

But thinking about it, he did not choose to stop, but kept walking back home.

The courtyard door was tightly closed, still in the same condition as when he left. He opened it gently and listened to a series of men's sighs coming from the room.

The voice sounded very familiar, and Sui Jinxi couldn't help but frown. He didn't know who would come into his home at this time without saying hello to him.

Walking towards the house step by step, the sighs gradually turned into a series of complaining whispers. After hearing this series of whispers, Sui Jinxi froze in place as if he had seen a ghost, until he waved his hand and gave himself a hard blow. A big mouth made him look sober.

The voice, the string of whispers he heard coming from the house, sounded so much like himself.

Sui Jinxi couldn't believe this was true, because he was standing here now, how could he whisper in the room?

So... who is the person staying in his house at this time?

Thinking of this, Sui Jinxi picked up a shovel from the wall and rushed into the house quickly.

However, the moment he entered, the room suddenly became quiet, and the whisper that sounded like his before was no longer heard, as if it was an illusion.

After carefully walking around the house, Sui Jinxi finally confirmed that there was no one else in the house except his wife who was sleeping.

"What's wrong with me? Why do I still have visual and auditory hallucinations?"

Sui Jinxi put the shovel aside and hammered his hard head hard. He felt that whether it was the person he saw on the graveyard or the voice that sounded like his own just heard in the yard, it was probably his hallucination. .

Otherwise, there is no way to explain all this, unless he is allowed to admit that there is another self in this world.

After sitting on the bedside and looking at his sleeping wife for a while, Sui Jinxi messed with the quilt, then took the teapot he had made before leaving and walked into the yard alone.

It was very clear tonight, with a few bright stars hanging in the sky. Sui Jinxi took a sip of tea and couldn't help but cough violently.

After experiencing the shock of his son's incident, he now has some doubts about how long he can continue to struggle with his old bones. Xiangfeng Township has indeed made some progress in the development of tourism in the past two years, but it is also It was just limited to development. It only had some scenery in October every year, and it was relatively simple. He had many discussions with the village chief on how to develop tourism projects, but in the end nothing came out of the discussion.

However, the town saw that tourism here was taking off, and the previous indifference turned into urging them every now and then, forcing the village team to come up with a feasible proposal.

Soon half of the pot of tea was finished. Sui Jinxi returned the teapot to the house with a sad face, and staggered out of the yard again.

Village Chief Li You's home is less than 30 meters away from their home. You can tell that it's just a short walk away.

Li You is seven or eight years younger than him. He is just in his early 50s this year. It is not like him who is about to reach the age of 6. But even though he is younger than him, he can do nothing other than flatter others. Something.

"Village Chief Li, Village Chief Li."

Sui Jinxi did not knock on the door, but stood in front of Li You's courtyard door and called hoarsely into the courtyard.

"Who?"

Not long after, a deep voice was heard in the yard.

"It's me, Old Sui."

Sui Jinxi responded, thinking that the other party would come out and open the door for him quickly, but he waited outside for a long time and no one came out.

Just when he was about to shout twice more, he heard a voice from behind him suddenly:

"Old Sui, what are you doing in front of my house? You don't even call or knock. It's scary to see the fire in this dark sky."

Hearing Li You's voice came from behind, Sui Jinxi was frightened. He turned around as if he was electrocuted, and saw Li You's red face gradually becoming clearer.

"How did you get here?"

Sui Jinxi was surprised to see Li You not at home.

"I went to Wang Laosan's house and sat down and talked with him about opening a small hotel."

Sui Jinxi didn't listen to what Li You said, but asked Li You not quite understanding:

"Is there anyone else at home?"

"Yes, your siblings are at home. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I called the door a few times just now, and I vaguely heard your voice. I thought you were at home."

"It's impossible to hear my voice. I left in the afternoon and came back just now. You must have heard wrong."
