This is the second time I stand here to recollect that kind of loneliness, and the last time.
The last time I came, Chen Yanran accompanied me. It was an evening that had just rained, and everything was shrouded in fog.
“Let’s go, let’s go!” Chen Yanran pulled me and urged impatiently.
It was the Ching Ming Festival that day, and we walked in a cemetery on the outskirts of the city to pay a grave for a dead friend. The original environment of the cemetery was quite good, and the towering trees that covered the sky filtered out the excess sunlight. The sun was bunched up and projected lazily, accompanied by the occasional chirping of birds, it was also very pleasant.
Unknowingly it was getting dark, and as soon as it got dark, the cemetery had a strange atmosphere. The dry branches of the dead tree swayed slowly with the wind, like a dead hand, ready to be grabbed at us at any time. I slapped my spirits, scared into a cold sweat, and immediately speeded up to follow Chen Yanran in front of me.
“Hey, it’s so late, there shouldn’t be a car to go back?” I suddenly thought of a crucial question, but Chen Yanran smiled easily.
“Haha, I thought about it a long time ago. If we go faster, maybe we can catch the last train.”
The train? Although I am not very familiar with this place, I have never heard of a train passing by. With curiosity, following Chen Yanran all the way, she actually came to a railroad track.
“Here, the train is coming.” Following the direction of her finger, I saw a train, but it was old-fashioned. It’s like a video tape playback, the feeling of crossing into the past.
There are not many people on the train, probably because the white flowers on the front of the train add a bit of weirdness to this train. The passengers slumped their heads, hiding their faces in darkness, and I couldn’t see their expressions clearly.

I was lost in silence, I don’t even know when Chen Yanran got out of the car. When I think of her, I am the only one left. Everything went so silently, fear and confusion extended in the sad April until another Qingming.
The same cemetery, the same rainy day, but this time I went alone.
“Hey, man!” In the cemetery, a middle-aged man touched me and looked anxious, “Did you see anything about me?”
“Huh?” I took a step back suspiciously, but I didn’t know what slimy thing I stepped on and made a disgusting “puff” sound.
“Ah, it was here! He walked around behind me in surprise, picked up a sticky object and held it in his hand. I was nauseated, and I didn’t expect the next thing to be worse. Disgusting. The man opened his skullThe red and white things were stuffed in, and then left contentedly.
Ghost! I froze in place in surprise, and didn’t notice that the shadows in the cemetery gradually increased. They looked at me panicked and surrounded me with a smirk. Then I saw the most memorable scene in my life. Their faces began to rot with the exaggerated deformation of their facial features, and their bodies were distorted beyond imagination. I could hardly look at them.

Suddenly, a sirens broke the deadlock, and I heard the sound of a train coming in the distance.
“Great!” I rushed out of these ghosts and jumped on the rushing train with one step. The last picture is Chen Yanran in a red dress sitting in the front of the car, smiling meaningfully at me.
“You should have come, let’s face it.”
“Yes, this train is your destination.”
The passengers in the car raised their heads and laughed at me. What I saw was still an endless corruption. The darkness stretched endlessly with the sight, and the train took me and them, disappearing into an obscure dream.
I don’t know how long it took, I opened my eyes and stepped off the train. Every tombstone seems to be covered with a layer of haze, and time is mottled with the name on the tombstone. “Chen Yanran” is engraved on the tombstone in front of me.
Turn around and quietly look at the abandoned locomotive on the abandoned railroad tracks. The passengers on this train may never think of the pain of being crushed by the train.
“Well, we shouldn’t have come so early. I heard that a person died in a traffic accident here a few years ago, and the train ran over her directly. I heard it was very miserable. Well. This railroad track was abandoned because of this, and then it was often haunted! “
” Yes, it is said that a young girl named Chen committed suicide by lying on the rail next to her boyfriend’s tombstone! “
I heard people talking, smiled miserably, and disappeared into the air with the last bit of darkness. If Yanran didn’t kill me for another man, how could I become a ghost and entangle her to death? We can’t blame the impermanence of the world, we can only blame it for not having the courage to face it. Perhaps the end is the ideal place for everything.
I sighed and turned and stepped onto the train. She sat quietly in her seat, the guilt in her eyes buried deep in sorrow. The rain outside the window fell gently, precipitating the last gloomy Qingming, condensing on the way home.
