Mysterious man in black clothes

  "Are you leaving here, Ah Li?" Uncle's tone changed, from the coldness earlier to warmth, and my heart skipped a beat. Whenever Uncle called my name, I felt a lump in my throat.

  Because the man in front of me is the man I deeply love.

  At this moment, he is gently calling me, perhaps I am thinking, as long as Uncle's face is in front of me, or his body is by my side, I can ignore whether he is real or not, and just want to stay for a while longer.

  "A Li, are you leaving me?" He walked closer to me, his face no longer pale, his eyes no longer red, his expression now painful, as if the most important thing in his life was about to leave him.

  "I." I hesitated for a moment.

  My feet couldn't move, and Uncle Ah was already by my side.

  "Don't leave me." He leaned in close to me, bent down towards me, his breath whispering into my ear, and I shuddered all over.

  Hmph!

  A strong light burst out from me, accompanied by a loud thud, and I instantly woke up to see the man knocked down on the ground. What happened?

  "Ah Shu" stared at my neck with a terrified gaze.

  "You..." He was somewhat perplexed, seemingly wanting to get angry, but just as he uttered a word, he felt it wasn't quite right.

  I lowered my head, and the remaining warmth on my neck had yet to dissipate. This red rope once again saved me.

  Leave here.

  The familiar voice echoed in my ears, faintly visible, I still remembered that this was Uncle's true voice, but my gaze fell on the man who had fallen to the ground in front of me.

  "A Li, leave here."

  A familiar voice echoed in my ears once again. I looked around, but apart from the crescent moon in the sky and the surrounding graves, there was nothing else.

  I turned around and ran back along the way I came, with the wind whistling past my ears and fine sweat densely covering my forehead.

  "Uncle." Until I was out of breath, I finally ran past the small path and returned to the front of the ancient temple. Looking at the man standing in front of the ancient temple gate, my legs went weak and I used up the last bit of strength to weakly call out to him.

  Uncle came towards me under the moonlight, just like a moon goddess.

  He truly exists, Uncle is like this existing in front of the ancient temple gate, in front of me.

  "Ah Li——" I went soft all over, my whole body lost its strength, and I knelt down in front of the ancient temple. Uncle Ah's urgent calls made it impossible for me to prop myself up again.

  My eyelids are extremely heavy, and when I bump my head on the ground, it makes a sound, but I don't feel any pain at all.

  The uncle hastily walked towards me, but instead of helping me up from the ground, he suddenly jumped into the air and brushed past me. A sound like a bamboo stick breaking echoed in my ears, followed by the sounds of intense fighting coming from behind me. I was too weak to turn around, so I just lay there on the ground, listening to everything happening behind me.

  The smell of char wafted into my nostrils, I closed my eyes tightly, but my hazy consciousness dared not fall asleep.

  "What a big nerve." Uncle's angry voice came over again, I was startled in my heart, but still couldn't open my eyes, and it seemed like Uncle was getting angry.

  "Spare my life."

  That somewhat familiar yet unrememberable voice whispered for mercy, and in the end, I lost consciousness...

  It wasn't until the next morning, when sunlight pierced through the window and stung my eyes, that I realized I had fainted the night before.

  I got up and looked around, the sky was already bright. In the ancient temple, except for me, Uncle Ah was nowhere to be seen. I turned my head to look at the spot where Xiao Bai had slept on the withered grass, but now there was nothing either.

  Where did Uncle and Xiaobai go?

  My feet felt a bit dizzy, I stood unsteadily, struggled for a long time, and finally got up from the ground. My head hurt a little, and when I touched it with my hand, the pain was so severe that my mouth split open.

  It wasn't until now that I remembered what happened last night. The man who looked exactly like Uncle took me to the burial grounds, if it weren't for the red rope protecting me, I would have been killed long ago.

  "Uncle..." The sunlight filled the entire ancient temple, and I felt a little frightened. Maybe everything last night was just a dream, but it felt so real that it was terrifying. As I walked out of the ancient temple, Uncle and Xiaobai were nowhere to be found. My phone couldn't be turned on, and when did its battery run out? I had no way to contact Uncle.

  At the moment when I was anxious and panicked, three people came to me from the forest in front of the ancient temple, like a orange-red lamp, driving away all the fears in the dark night. The three men in front of me, together, were like gods. Two of them I knew, and the third one, I seemed to have seen somewhere before.

  In this world, apart from the fox spirit, there is also such a handsome man. For a 20-year-old young girl who has never been in love, at this moment they successfully made my heart beat faster. The person who accelerated my speed was none other than my uncle.

  Watching Uncle and them coming up, I stuttered in my throat, and finally called out.

  "Don't always look at me like that, although I'm good-looking, I'll also blush." I saw Uncle smiling at me, warm and cozy in the sunlight. Uncle was already by my side, but my gaze couldn't turn back to him at this moment, instead it was fixed on Xiaobai from left to right.

  Xiao Bai looked a bit awkward, raised his fox-like eyes and said to me.

  "Who, who's been looking at you." In front of Uncle Ah, being enchanted by the little ghost he raised to such an extent that I was completely bewildered and lost my composure. But how could I possibly admit it in front of Uncle Ah? I gave Xiao Bai a stern glance and turned around to hold onto Uncle Ah's arm.

  But I need to admit in my heart, acknowledge without others knowing, that Xiao Bai today has some changes. He is different from the previous two times he transformed into a human form, not in appearance but in the feeling he gives me.

  As for another man, I still don't know who he is, what's his surname and name!

  Uncle walked towards the ancient temple, I followed Uncle's footsteps. However, in the moment he turned around, it seemed as if the man's gaze lingered on me for a long time, without any intention of evasion.

  "Are you Ah Li?" The man was dressed in all black, forming a stark contrast with Xiaobai's white clothes. Just now, the scene that flashed through my mind was actually "black and white impermanence".

  I couldn't help but laugh at myself for thinking too much, and followed Uncle into the ancient temple. He sat cross-legged on the withered grass, and I could only find a spot next to him to sit down. Xiaobai and the man in black also sat down naturally, and the man in black looked at me for another moment, his brow furrowed, and it was only then that I got a clear look at his face, his frowning expression was so heart-wrenching.

  The occasionally raised corners of his lips were so familiar, his eyes, I couldn't meet them, as if it was another whirlpool besides Uncle, would sink in and couldn't extricate myself for a long time.

  I was stared at by the man, and I glanced at Uncle, who was closing his eyes to rest. The black-clothed man seemed to have noticed my abnormality, smiled softly and asked if I was Ah Li.

  "Uh, I'm Junli." He looked at me again, but still didn't react. Someone who could come with Uncle must not be a bad person, and also wasn't an ordinary person. I could only answer him in a low voice.

  But his voice made my heart feel like a thousand horses were galloping, my heart was overwhelmed and I could stop breathing at any moment. This voice was so familiar, it was so familiar that I would mistake it for him.

  "Goodbye, goodbye!" The man in black muttered to himself, and my heart ached at the words "goodbye". Why would he say such things when he saw me? This feeling was tearing my heart apart.

  Who is he after all?

  A warm palm was placed on my back, a warm current flowed through my whole body, driving away all the pain. I closed my eyes for a moment, then looked up at Uncle Ah, his palm was emitting a faint heat, which gradually entered my body and disappeared.

  "Uncle, I..." For this man, the mysterious black-clad man, why do I feel uncomfortable when I see him? His voice, his appearance, his expression, including the way he speaks, are all so similar to Uncle's. Occasionally, for a moment, I would be unable to distinguish whether it was Uncle or that black-clad man.

  I just want to get an answer from Uncle Ah.

  Uncle's expression flickered, as if he was evading something. He gazed far away, then turned back to me and called out in a helpless tone, "A Li."

  "Hmm?" I responded softly, but the doubt in my eyes had yet to disperse. Uncle, you can't hide any more things from me, or it will make me feel like the distance between us is growing further and further...

  "Oh, sorry." Just as I was about to ask Uncle for an answer, the black-clad man's voice sounded in my ear. When I turned back to look at him, his face no longer had the doubt from before, nor did it have Uncle's expression. This made me feel that what I saw earlier was just an illusion.

  "My surname is Wei, Wei Jun'an." The man in black smiled for a moment, seeing that I had successfully shifted my confusion to him, before speaking to me.

  But this name is quite strange indeed.

  Wei Jun'an!

  I muttered the name in my heart, occasionally glancing at him with a nonchalant expression, and I don't know if his ears were burning when I was muttering to myself, but he didn't sneeze because I didn't hear it.

  "You're leaving, how is it that you've suddenly seen such a handsome guy, have you caught lovesickness?" After resting for a bit, Xiaobai said that next to the ancient temple there was an underground spring gushing out of the ground. If they used the water to wash their face, who knows, their skin might become even better than after sleeping for a day and night.

  I knew Xiaobai was bragging, but I, who hadn't gotten out of bed early, found a toothbrush and towel in my backpack and followed Xiaobai to the so-called "moisturizing spring" to wash my face. The hot air rising from the water didn't feel cold when it touched my skin, and the water on my face was actually quite comfortable.

  Perhaps seeing a hint of smile on my face, the man sitting next to me on the stone bench adjusting his white robe said slowly, what he said was quite casual, as if he were the only handsome man in the world and all women would fall for him.

  "You're the one who's infatuated." I didn't buy Xiao Bai's account, and instead sent him a message. At this time, however, Hua Chi was thinking of Ah Shu in her heart. I continued to mutter softly, "There is someone living in my heart."

  "Who's that?" Before I could even react, Xiao Bai's fox-like eyes were already right in front of mine, the corners of his mouth curled up, so close, feigning surprise.
