Ruyizhai

Wu Xingchen took a rest in the car and slept for 41 minutes. When he woke up, he found that the positioning signal of the ring had been parked at No. 23, Kowloon 9 Avenue, Kowloon City, East District, for 23 minutes.When the car reached No. [-], he projected the tracking map into the palm of his left hand and got out of the car.

The car was parked on a two-lane winding hillside ramp. As the road extended upwards, the ramp gradually narrowed, and the signs of collapse on the outer lane became more and more obvious, while the area surrounded by the intact inner lane could be seen Some small buildings and private houses, many of which are occupied by He (the name of a tree must be masked, take it) Huanshu, some are covered by branches, some are integrated with the tree, He (is just a tree) Name!) The eucalyptus tree blooms pink fluffy ball-shaped flowers, which (smile, smile) fill the window panes, and the weeds grow to the height of the window. When the wind blows past, a pale color suddenly flashes behind the weeds.Those are the brick walls that make up the building.

There were no people around, and the sun was high. Wu Xingchen opened his hands and took a look. The place at the end of the ramp, where the road collapsed, and surrounded by a tall wooden fence was No. 23.

The signal for the ring is still on the 23rd.Wu Xing drove up the hill and saw a small Victorian building standing behind the wooden fence. Three black spots on the red brick roof of the building moved from time to time.There is a semicircular hole in the roof.

The door of No. 23 was hidden in the fence, and it was ajar. Wu Xingchen knocked twice, but no one answered the door. He looked up and waved his hand in the air.The door was still ajar.There was a gust of wind and the door flew open.

Wu Xingchen leaned in half of his body, and there were people everywhere behind the fence.

A group of people sit casually on the green grass, with various skins, men, women, young, old, all wearing white clothes, some women's clothes can see bright yellow flowers; a group of people in front of a forest Something is being built with firewood and branches, and a banner is drawn between two trees in the woods: Remember forever!There is also a banner on the side: review the past and learn the new small theater.

There was another group of people in front of the small theater, all of them were teenagers. There was an older-looking woman holding a teenager's shoulders and waving a branch in her hand. Passing masks, bamboo sticks, crowns, swords and stars.A white horse walked by in front of the theater. The man who led the horse smiled and greeted the teenagers. The woman stood up and put a flower crown on the horse's head. She stroked the mane of the white horse. He glanced here, smiled and nodded to him.

Wu Xingchen took out a business card, the man who led the horse turned his head, stopped looking at him, and led the horse into the woods.Another person smiled at Wu Xingchen and greeted him: "Hello!"

These are two girls holding each other's arms, one with blond hair and one with black hair, their faces are exactly the same, and their outfits are also exactly the same, braided braids, white skirts, bare feet, the two walked in front of Wu Xingchen at some point Yes, put a bouquet of wildflowers into his breast pocket, and ran away laughing before he could present his card.They ran into a group of young people sitting together.Some young people played guitars, some held tal, others held duds and duff tambourines, and blonde girls and brunette girls danced in the circle of young people, and the tambourines beat to them.Boom boom boom, boom boom boom.The guitarist sang and the Dudu pipes blew.

The girls danced out of the crowd and ran around a cauldron. A middle-aged woman wearing a headscarf and an apron smiled and stirred something in the cauldron with a long wooden stick, clatter, clatter.There is a sweet scent of peaches in the air.

The stirring sound is very loud.

There are men who plow the fields, and men who chop wood, the rake plows the ground, and the ax splits the wood.

People who wash clothes, people who hang clothes.The white clothes and the white sheets shone almost blindingly in the sun.

The smell of earth, saponins, rosin, gunpowder.

People are very close to each other, and tastes are superimposed and mixed to create a completely strange and indescribable identity. Sounds and sounds are closely connected together, flowing wantonly in the background sound of the trumpet made of apricot tree inside.Singing, of course there is singing, the lyrics are vague, Wu Xingchen can't understand at all, the singing sounds so light, like laughter.

And the sound of greeting.

hello.hello.

No one gave Wu Xingchen a chance to introduce himself with a business card, so people said something, smiled and walked away.Someone patted him on the shoulder twice, very lightly. It was the two girls, holding hands, laughing and running past him, bouncing into the house with the red brick roof.

The black dots on the red brick roof are people who are repairing the roof. They have ropes tied around their waists. Some of the ends of the rope are tied to the chimney, some are tied to the camphor tree by the house, and some are not tied to the rope. Walking up and down the roof.The barefoot man yelled, put down a bamboo basket, a window on the second floor opened, a girl pulled the basket over, put some bricks, some bread, a bottle of water in it, whistled, Barefoot people lifted the bamboo basket up.Seeing Wu Xingchen, the girl smiled and waved: "Hello!"

The signal to ring is in this house.

Wu Xingchen walked in.There is still 100 meters away from the ring.The structure of the house is completely exposed, the floor creaks when you step on it, some dried flowers are hung on the exposed brick walls, and thick blankets are wrapped on the beams of the wooden structure. Looking out from a small window on the first floor, a group of People are knitting together, and the people here seem to communicate and move in this way of gathering.Next to the knitting crowd were people weaving flower baskets. Some of them saw Wu Xingchen and waved to him with a smile.

Wu Xingchen hid in the shadows and went upstairs.

There are still 20 meters away from the ring.

The second floor is full of rooms with closed doors. Different dried flowers are hung on different doors. Some wallpaper can be seen here, but some clumsy painted spaceships and stars cover up the original patterns of the wallpaper.

There are still 5 meters away from the ring.

The sound of running footsteps flew over his head.

Wu Xingchen stopped in front of the door of a room with bunches of dried lavender hanging on it. He pushed the door, but the door was unlocked, and the room behind the door was open and bright.Wu Xingchen saw Ruyizhai standing on tiptoe and groping on a wooden cabinet at a glance.Ruyizhai turned around, saw Wu Xingchen, and said, "Close the door."

Wu Xingchen looked at him and said, "The ring and magnifying glass are still with you."

Ruyizhai ran to close the door, changed a cabinet, and still groped on top of it.

"Where are you looking?" He pointed behind him, and Wu Xingchen saw that he was referring to the three cabinets at the other end of the room separated by three single beds.The furnishings in the room are very simple, only three beds and six wooden cabinets.

Wu Xingchen walked over and opened one of the cabinets, only to hear two creaking sounds behind him, he looked back, Ruyi Zhai stepped on the bed, jumped to his side, and rummaged in the cabinet he opened go.Ruyi Zhai urged: "What are you still doing in a daze? Look for it."

Wu Xingchen nodded, and looked into the closet. There were three white coats and three pairs of white trousers hanging in the closet. There was a partition above the hanger, and there were three stacks of white cloth and three tin boxes on it. Going to get one of the boxes, Ruyizhai said: "Are you stupid? Can such a big painting fit in this? Look for a secret door, a secret compartment."

"Painting?" Wu Xingchen was puzzled, "Aren't you looking for a magnifying glass?"

Ruyizhai shook his head, took out a magnifying glass from his sleeve, handed it to Wu Xingchen, closed the cabinet, opened the cabinet next to it, and asked, "Aren't you curious?"

Wu Xingchen checked the magnifying glass, the gemstone was still there, and the gold on the handle was not scratched or melted.He put the magnifying glass into his trouser pocket and reminded softly, "There is still a ring."

The sunlight from the two open windows flooded almost every corner of the room.Ruyizhai's right index finger flickered, Wu Xingchen's eyes followed the flash, and suddenly the flash disappeared, and in front of Wu Xingchen was Ruyizhai's black eyes, which were also very bright and had a flash.Wu Xingchen said, "What are you curious about?"

Ruyi Zhai stared at him and laughed: "Of course it's the history of that painting, the era of that painting."

He used the accent when he mentioned the word "time", so his voice was harsh for a while, Wu Xingchen took a small step back uncomfortably, and said: "The donation has been withdrawn, and the appraisal work on it has ended That's it, that's it."

Ruyizhai still looked at him: "How would you name it? It's called "The Fall of the Rebellious Angel"?" He looked up, thinking, "Why are so many paintings called the same name? "The Last Time of the Rebel Angel" What do you think of Fallen?"

Wu Xingchen said: "The appraisal work assigned by the museum has been terminated, and the painting has been returned to Teng Rong." He also said, "As for naming or not, how to name it is Teng Rong's business."

Ruyizhai moved to the third wooden cabinet, opened it, continued to rummage through the cabinet, and said, "There are paintings all over the wall in that video, and there is a draft in it. Didn't you find the draft of that painting? According to your It is said that only museums and art galleries have quotas for machines that separate layers, so it is impossible for Teng Yu to know what the sketch looks like." He glanced at Wu Xingchen: "Or did you show Teng Yu the sketch of the draft?"

Wu Xingchen said: "Of course not!!"

Ruyizhai's eyeballs rolled upwards, as if there was a foreign object in front of him, which could not be ignored.He waved his hands in the air and said, "Then he might have seen it somewhere else..." He muttered something that Wu Xingchen couldn't understand, and Wu Xingchen barely caught "market", "trading", "collection", The words "Bosch".Wu Xingchen added: "Although the reward paid this time is not the full amount, it must be worthy of your time and effort."

Ruyizhai frowned, raised his chin, raised his eyebrows, and the eyes following Fei Gao fell on Wu Xingchen. Ruyizhai blinked, raised his fingers to press his lips, pulled Wu Xingchen past, and hid in the in the closet behind him.The cabinet door was not closed properly, a crack was exposed.A light was embedded in Ruyi Zhai's body.Wu Xingchen asked, "Why are you hiding?"

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside, Ruyizhai squeezed his eyes and looked out from the crack of the door: "Have you heard of trespassing on private houses?"

Wu Xingchen approached Ruyizhai, followed by looking out, Ruyizhai sniffed his nose, turned his head to look Wu Xingchen up and down, his eyes locked on the small bunch of wild flowers on his chest, he leaned closer to smell it, and smelled it hard, Sniffing upwards, you can smell Wu Xingchen's shoulder, continue to smell, and smell Wu Xingchen's neck.Ruyizhai leaned against Wu Xingchen's face, and he told Wu Xingchen again: "Don't move."

Wu Xingchen said, "It's a little itchy."

Ruyizhai's hair grazed his nose from time to time.

Hearing this, Ruyizhai put all her hair on her right shoulder, stretched out her right hand around Wu Xingchen's shoulder, and hooked it around his neck.There was the sound of the door opening, followed by a series of footsteps.Wu Xingchen tried to look out, but his vision was completely blocked by Ruyizhai's arm.Ruyizhai fumbled behind him.Wu Xingchen said softly, "What are you looking for?"

Ruyizhai covered his mouth, Wu Xingchen was speechless, his breath was full of sweetness, and his mouth was also so sweet, like eating a flower-flavored candy.Ruyizhai's hands were cold.

The footsteps sounded very close to the cabinet, Ru Yizhai withdrew his hand, there was a small paper bag in his hand, he looked at it, and stuffed it into his pocket.Now Wu Xingchen could see the outside through the crack of the door. A boy was putting a stack of white clothes in his arms on a single bed near the cabinet where they were hiding.The boy put down his clothes and went out.Wu Xingchen wanted to get out of the cabinet, Ruyizhai grabbed him, Wu Xingchen listened carefully, and there was another series of footsteps, much heavier than the child's footsteps before.Wu Xingchen said: "The gate is open, so it's not considered trespassing."

Ruyi Zhai said: "Does the master agree with you to come in?"

"The master didn't lock the door!"

Ruyi Zhai said: "The police station doesn't lock the door, why don't you go wandering around the police station?"

Wu Xingchen tried his best to lower his voice: "This is a sneaky change of concept, what's the difference?"

Ruyizhai looked at him and said, "Your question mark is as annoying as an exclamation mark."

Wu Xingchen wanted to argue, but Ruyizhai covered his mouth again, someone came in, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, this time it was really close, a black shadow fell on the cabinet, and the heavy footsteps stopped .The light on Ruyi Zhai's face disappeared.Wu Xingchen could barely see his outline, his black hair covered him like a black veil in the darkness.Wu Xingchen suddenly remembered a stone statue of Jixiangtian in the museum.There was a black veil on the stone statue's head, the appearance of the stone statue could not be seen clearly, the clothing on the body was also corroded, and the layers of color were almost peeled off - only the black veil and a white ankle survived down.The stone statue sat cross-legged.According to the identification results, the other leg of the stone statue is touching the lotus pond.

Ruyi Zhai gently asked Wu Xingchen: "Is the ring your heirloom?"

Wu Xingchen shook his head.

Ruyizhai asked again: "A token of love?"

Wu Xingchen nodded.

"you love him?"

Although his mouth was covered, Ke Wu Xingchen replied without hesitation: "Yes, of course."

Wu Xingchen heard heavier footsteps.Tapa, tapa, the black shadow outside the door did not move.Tread, Tread.The footsteps are still ringing.Only then did Wu Xingchen realize that what he heard was not footsteps, but a heartbeat.Very heavy.It was heavy and fast.

Ruyizhai's lips moved to his mouth.

Wu Xingchen pushed Ruyizhai away, his body became unbalanced, fell out of the cabinet, and fell on the bed, the fall was not light. When he sat up and calmed down his heartbeat and breathing, he saw that Teng Rong was standing in front of the cabinet and looking at him. Ruyizhai Shi Shi ran out of the cabinet.

Wu Xingchen hurriedly said, "It was a misunderstanding."

Ruyizhai lowered his eyes, lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "Yes, it was a misunderstanding."

He sighed and walked towards the door, dragging his shadow, which was long and thin, swimming on the floor.Teng Rong nodded and said, "Well, it was a misunderstanding."

Wu Xingchen explained: "He took the magnifying glass from the museum, and the exhibits in the museum are not allowed to be borrowed."

Ruyizhai raised his hand and put it next to his eyes, took off the ring on his right hand, threw it on the bed where Wu Xingchen was sitting, turned around, and said, "The one you want to get back is the pairing ring, so it turned out to be someone else. If you knew it earlier, you would not want it.”

Wu Xingchen had a severe headache, Ruyizhai had already walked to the door, and asked softly, "How about the farewell ceremony?"

When he said "please", Wu Xingchen felt nauseous, his hands and feet were stiff, and he felt uncomfortable all over.He thought he also had to make an appointment with a doctor to see if the fall just now broke any fragile part of his body, so that he was indescribably uncomfortable from top to bottom, from head to toe.

Teng Rong replied, "It's in the flower house in the courtyard."

Ruyizhai's shadow followed him out of the room.

Teng Rong asked Wu Xingchen: "Are you here to participate in the farewell ceremony? You are interested."

Wu Xingchen said: "You misunderstood, I really came to retrieve the lost property." He reached into the pocket of his trousers and felt that it was empty. He felt all the pockets on his body, and they were all empty.

The magnifying glass is gone again!

Wu Xingchen raised his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, Teng Rong patted him on the shoulder again, Wu Xingchen felt even more uncomfortable, besides nausea, his breathing was still not smooth, and he just wanted to disappear from Teng Rong's eyes quickly, but For a while, I couldn't find any good excuse to say goodbye and get away.At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then a girl asked softly, "I heard that there is a helper here who can go to the next door to help clean?"

Teng Rong said, "Go downstairs and ask."

Wu Xingchen took a look and saw a girl wearing a white apron and a white headscarf standing by the door. The girl's face was very white, with red spots all over her face.Wu Xingchen took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Do you need help?"

The girl looked at Teng Rong, Teng Rong nodded, and the girl said: "Then please go this way."

The adjoining room was really in need of cleaning, there was paint all over the floor, on the walls, and some boards piled up under the two windows.The girl handed Wu Xingchen a rag, and Wu Xingchen handed over a business card, saying, "Wu Xingchen, a member of the Earth Museum's appraisal department."

The girl looked at him, wiped her hands on the apron, took the business card, shook hands with him, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, everyone here doesn't have a business card."

Wu Xingchen asked, "Then what's the name?"

The girl said, "A lot of people don't have names," she smiled, "Do you know that human beings didn't have names at the beginning."

Wu Xingchen said: "This place does maintain a relatively traditional way of life."

The girl looked at Wu Xingchen's business card and said, "Are you a friend Teng Yu met on Earth?"

Wu Xingchen said, "I heard Mr. Teng Rong mentioned him," he added, "several times."

The girl asked, "First time here?"

Wu Xingchen nodded.

"how do you feel?"

Wu Xingchen smiled: "It's a relatively unfamiliar way of life."

The girl smiled and said, "There is no way of life that is [-]% realized in the drifting spaceship that is psychic in the upper world."

The girl knelt on the ground and looked at Wu Xingchen: "Do you believe in reincarnation?"
