The next day, it was just dawn.

Qiao Ziru leaned against the car window and looked at the familiar scenery around him.

She is back.

Back to my hometown.

Take out your phone and take a look at the time-

Six o'clock.

It was just six o'clock, and she was the only one in the shuttle bus so early.

Qiao Ziru rubbed his eyes, sat upright, and looked at the driver's position.

She vaguely remembered that she rushed back anxiously to attend a funeral of one person...a very important person.

But, who is it?

She found that her head was blurred and she couldn't figure out who that person was.

The head... hurts so much.

Forget it, don't think about it anymore.

When you arrive in Qiaojia Village, you will naturally know.

She looked out the window. Under the dim light on both sides of the road, the branches of the trees seemed strange. On the narrow country road, there was no one to come by, and the surroundings were particularly quiet, with only the sound of vehicles rolling forward.

Qiao Ziru shrank her neck, and she suddenly felt a little cold.

The shadows outside the car window made her feel familiar and unfamiliar, just like the driver of the country bus in the driver's seat.

Although he could vaguely see his side face, he could not see it in detail.

Forget it, take a break...

She was a little tired and closed her eyes with her head against the car window.

However, not long after the car drove, there was a sudden violent bump! Her head was so bumped that she hit the window glass.

The pain made her wake up a little.

Opening his eyes and rubbing his head, Qiao Ziru took a look at what was wrong, but found that the sky was already much brighter than before.

An orange-red hole had been pulled open in the sky, making the distant mountains faint with a layer of charming red edges.

She felt a little strange...Isn't this the morning?

Why doesn't it look like sunrise? This color is more like sunset...

But before she could think about it, the red sunlight shone on the road in front of her, and the country bus stopped at any time.

Suddenly, a miserable suona suddenly appeared.

Qiao Ziru's heart trembled and looked in the sound. He saw two rows of people wearing white clothes and mourning clothes on the road ahead, carrying a big red coffin and slowly passing by the car.

Time seemed to be pushed down at this moment and slowly released. The funeral procession was obviously just crossing the road, but it walked very long.

Step by step... step by step... she couldn't see everyone's face clearly, but she had a complete imprint of everyone's movements in her mind.

The strange sound of suona is not harsh, but becomes more and more distant... Gradually, I can't hear it clearly.

When Qiao Ziru came to his senses, the funeral procession had disappeared, and the country bus had started again, slowly heading towards Qiaojia Village.

Which family was the deceased just now? Is there anyone else in Qiaojia Village dead?

Qiao Ziru thought.

The consciousness was hazy and chaotic. Soon, a ray of sad and bloody red sunlight shone on her face.

Suddenly, I came back to my senses and was already standing at the bus door and getting off the bus.

Qiao Zi raised his hand consciously to cover up the sun.

It's so red...the sunshine, she remembers...the sunshine in the morning is obviously golden... why is it so red...

Moreover, it seemed as if it was hit on her on purpose.

All the scenery around them was still vaguely hiding in the darkness. Only the place where she was standing, at the bus door... there happened to be a red sunshine.

After getting off the car, I was about to thank the driver and said thank you. The car door closed by itself. The bus left slowly, and the license plate was turbid and unclear...

Qiao Ziru felt that he was too tired.

I was so tired that I couldn't remember many things.

Fortunately, I arrived at the entrance of the village.

The familiar road made her involuntarily recall the not-so-good memories of the past.

By the way, there is a family at the entrance of the village who has a dog. In the past, I was always scared to death by the dog tied to the door.

There was a chain tied to it, but it always stretched the chain straight, grinning hideously, jumping up and barking...

Don't wake it up... Don't wake it up...

Qiao Ziru muttered in his heart and walked past this family with ease.

Huh?

It's very quiet this time.

Is it not awake?

Qiao Ziru looked back, but this glance almost scared her breathing!

The fierce black dog stared at her straight!

It still grinned, still stretching the chain straight.

But this time, it didn't call...

It just looked at her quietly.

Strangely, its eyes were as vivid as humans, making her shudder.

Qiao Ziru quickly turned around and left.

After entering the village, the sky finally became much brighter.

The countrymen got up early, and Qiao Ziru had already seen three or five elderly people sitting in their yard, looking at the front with dull eyes, as if they were still not awake.

But maybe he really lacks sleep. Whether it is people or the entire village, Qiao Ziru always feels that everyone... everything is covered with a layer of gray. Although it doesn't look like a black and white movie, the colors are not vivid enough.

Gray white, silent... I haven't returned to my hometown for a long time, has the village become like this?

Qiao Ziru sighed a little. After the young man left, similar villages would be left with only dead silence.

She still raised her hand to cover half of the sunlight. The red light made her eyes almost unable to open. After searching for several rounds, she couldn't find her way to her home.

My home...

Where?

Qiao Ziru wandered in the village.

The roads around me are all very familiar, but they don’t feel very similar.

This feeling made her feel particularly confused.

In the gray and white world, there is only a red sunshine shining on Qiao Ziru.

She hesitated for a long time and finally got up the courage to ask the villagers where the Qiao Liang family is.

There was an old man in the courtyard next to him. He leaned against the gate of the courtyard, his face wrinkled and could not see clearly... like a sculpture.

"grandfather……"

Qiao Ziru thought about it, she felt a little ashamed. She couldn't recognize who the old man in the same village was, and could not name him.

"May I ask...whether direction is the Qiao Liang family?"

The old man didn't say a word, and he didn't even move his expression. He was gray, both his face and his clothes... were gray.

The gray color overshadowed all his original appearance.

But he still answered Qiao Ziru.

The old man slowly raised his hand and pointed in one direction.

Qiao Ziru looked in the direction of his finger. Is that there...

She quickly bowed and thanked her and rushed over to the other side.

The old man behind him was hiding in the gray and white colors, slowly blending with the surroundings, and he couldn't see clearly.

The sad sunshine still hit her alone, shining Qiao Ziru all the way home.

It's this road...

Becoming more and more familiar.

Becoming more and more familiar!
To be continued...
