Farewell to the Ancient House

Bai Ting had just finished reading an article when he heard the door of the study room rang.He hurriedly stuffed the diary into the bookshelf, picked up "Craniocerebral Injury" and pretended to read it.

Lu Tong opened the door and came in, saw the two of them, and said: "Our young master asked you two to cook." Seeing the book in Bai Ting's hand, he smiled: "I didn't expect you to be interested in medicine. "

Bai Ting put the book back on the shelf, and said modestly: "Look at it, watch it."

The two prepare lunch in the kitchen.This time Lu Tong unexpectedly didn't bother.After calling the two of them, he went straight through the study and entered Lu Jingchun's room.

Bai Ting hesitated for a moment, but told Lu Luo what he had read in the diary.

After hearing this, Lu Luo frowned, and said to Bai Ting: "If what this diary says is true, then Lu Tong was completely making up stories to deceive us before." He asked Bai Ting again: "Do you think this diary is true? Who wrote it?"

Bai Ting thought for a while, and replied: "The owner of this diary calls someone Second Brother. In this family, I have only heard your uncle call your father that way."

"You mean the diary written by my uncle?" Lu Luo asked.

"I don't know..." Bai Ting hesitated.The salutation is the most direct evidence pointing to the diarist.However, Bai Ling felt that something was wrong.

The diary is clear and organized, and it doesn't look like it was written by a crazy person.

Lu Luo seemed to see Bai Ting's thoughts, and he said to Bai Ting: "My uncle went crazy because of an accident decades ago, maybe after the zombie incident. So it is not impossible for him to write such a diary. "However, he also shook his head: "But I think this diary may not have been written by my uncle."

"In short," Lu Luo clapped his hands and shook the leaves between his fingers: "Let's ask my uncle after lunch. Even if he is not the author of the diary, he should know something."

As usual, the two were delivering the meal to Lu Jingchun's bedroom, but the old man opened the door after knocking on the door.The old man took the meal, and Lu Luo asked in a low voice if he wanted to give him another meal, but the old man waved his hands repeatedly, saying no, and he would go out to eat later.

However, when the meal was over, the old man still did not appear.

The two came to Lu Jingchun's bedroom again, only to find that there was only Dr. Zhao and the Lu family master lying on the bed.Dr. Zhao told Bai Ting and Lu Luo that the old man had just left.

Bai Ting felt strange, and when he wanted to find the diary with Lu Luo to take a good look, Lu Tong opened the door and entered the study, greeted the two of them, took out a novel and started reading.They had no choice but to give up and left the study.

"Find uncle and ask the matter clearly." Lu Luo said.White collar agrees.

The two couldn't find the old man.Although there are many rooms in the Lu family mansion, most of them are locked because there are no occupants.

Except for Lu Ai's and Young Mistress's room, Bai Ting and Lu Luo searched all the rooms they could enter.Just can't see the figure of the old man.

"There's a small warehouse in the backyard, let's go and have a look." Lu Luo suggested.

Come to the backyard.Heavy rain.Bai Ling asked Lu Luo to stay under the eaves, and ran two quick steps towards the warehouse.The warehouse door was locked with an old-looking lock.Bai Ting originally thought that this lock was the same as the lock on the diary, and could be opened by shaking it twice.I didn't expect this lock to look ugly, but it was very strong.The white collar tossed a few times and had to give up.

He ran back under the eaves and said to Lu Luo: "The warehouse is locked, and it is locked from the outside. No one should be inside."

Lu Luo nodded, and stretched out his hand to wipe the rainwater off Bai Ling's face.

Back in the study, Lu Tong was still slumped on the sofa reading the novel.Lu Luo was about to ask Lu Tong if he saw his uncle when he saw Lu Ai coming in from the hall angrily.

"Hey, what's the matter? Cousin?" Lu Tong stopped Lu Ai with a look of interest, "Why do you look so angry?"

Lu Ai didn't want to talk to him at all, and went straight to Lu Jingchun's room.

Lu Tong still didn't give up, he walked over with a smile and wrapped his arms around Lu Ai's neck, and said, "Don't be so indifferent, tell me. If you come to the master so angry, the master will not like you again. "

Lu Ai seemed to be poked into a sore spot, he pushed Lu Tong away fiercely, and said in a low voice: "I'm looking for Dr. Zhao, it's none of your business, you don't talk here."

Lu Tong seemed to be in pain from being pushed by Lu Ai. He rubbed his arm and said to Lu Ai with a smile, "Look for Dr. Zhao? That's not important. Tell us what's wrong with you." what relationship."

Lu Ai snorted, and said disdainfully, "Talk to you? Okay. The roof of my room started to leak rain this morning, and the rain flooded all the furniture. Please help me fix it."

Lu Tong smiled: "What am I supposed to do? The repairman can't come this week, you tell Dr. Zhao, and Dr. Zhao can fix it for you?"

Lu Ai was displeased: "Why can't he fix it? He is just a family doctor, at most he can be regarded as the housekeeper of the family. Now that the nanny is gone, if the housekeeper is not here, who will do it?"

"Oh, it's your fault." Lu Tong pulled Lu Ai closer to him, and whispered, "Don't you see how favored Dr. Zhao is by Master's side now? You go in now and let him repair the roof on a rainy day , what will the master think of you? If he can still move, he probably broke your leg first."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Lu Ai's expression was a little weak, obviously moved by persuasion.

"I'm going to be a good person." Lu Tong said, "You sleep in my room for a few days first, and after this week is over, you can ask someone to fix it."

Lu Ai was obviously not happy, but he had no other choice but to leave with the key to Lu Tong's room.

Lu Tong turned around, and smiled at Bai Ling and Lu Luo who were watching: "In the next few days, I will have to squeeze with you young couple."

Bai Ling began to seriously consider whether to spend the night in the study.

Lu Luo asked Lu Tong if he saw the old man, and after getting a negative reply, the two stayed in the study.

He should show up when the meal is over.Anxiety began to surge in Bai Ling's heart.He comforted himself silently.He looked down at the book.

However, the old man still did not appear at dinner time.

The uneasiness in Bai Ling's heart intensified.The old man disappeared into the mansion as if he had evaporated.At worst, he might have been killed, thrown out of the hospital and turned into dust.On the bright side, he might be like the masked man, waiting for an opportunity in the dark and preparing a plan to kill Lu Tong.

Lu Luo saw Bai Jing's anxiety, he squeezed Bai Jing's hand, and said softly: "Don't think too much, you just need to protect yourself."

Bai Ting pinched Lu Luo back as if responding, and then whispered: "It's okay."

After dinner, the two returned to the study.There was no one in the study, so Bai Ting took the opportunity to pick up the diary from the bookshelf.The two put their heads together and began to study the diary.

After randomly selecting a few other diaries to read, Bai Ting frowned again.

"I don't think this diary was written by your uncle. This second brother is not Mr. Lu either."

"Yes," Lu Luo agreed. "Look," he pointed to a diary, "It says that the second brother left home after the zombie incident. But my father has lived in this small town all his life and has never been there."

"But is there such a possibility?" Bai Ting opened his mind, "This diary is really written by your uncle. You see, he was so stimulated by the zombie incident, maybe his brain is no longer It’s normal, but this abnormality doesn’t show up in the writing.”

He pointed to the sentence "Second brother left today" and said to Lu Luo: "On the day of the zombie incident, the diary writer did something very excessive to the second brother's ex-girlfriend. Maybe after that, the second brother's attitude towards the author will be different. There is a 180-degree turn, and the second brother died once and was resurrected. So for your uncle, the resurrected second brother with a changed personality is not the original second brother, so it is said that the second brother has 'gone'. "

"Then I also have a guess as to why your uncle always wanted to kill Lu Tong." Bai Ting continued, "Look, Zhou Xuan was still able to speak after her head was beheaded, which means she didn't die at that time. Maybe Zhou Xuan was dead at that time. Pregnant with the child of the eldest brother or the second brother. Since Lu Tong is your cousin, it is possible that the second brother secretly sent Zhou Xuan out to give birth to Lu Tong. When Lu Tong becomes an adult, he returns to the Lu family. Mansion, your uncle was surprised to find that Lu Tong is Zhou Xuan's son, and he always believed that Zhou Xuan was the culprit of the zombie incident, so he tried every means to kill Lu Tong."

"Look, after my reasoning, everything is now settled!" Bai Ting closed the diary with a snap, and looked at Lu Luo proudly.

Lu Luo smiled and clapped his hands: "It's amazing, it's no wonder it's Detective Bai." He blinked again: "But Detective Bai, after hearing your reasoning, I'm still a little confused."

"Just ask if you have any questions, Assistant Lu." Bai Ting put on a gesture of invitation.

Lu Luo smiled: "First, according to zombie legends and diary records, zombies whose bodies have been severed cannot be resurrected. How did Zhou Xuan go out and give birth to Lu Tong? Second, this diary remembers that it was 50 years ago According to you, Lu Tong should be 50 years old. Why is he still in his 20s?"

"This..." Bai Ling was stopped by the question.

"Also," Lu Luo looked at the white collar with malicious intent, and the smile on his face deepened, "In my father's generation, the Lu family had three brothers, and my father was the youngest. Lu Tong was the second son. The second child was not born to the main wife, so my uncle has always denied his identity and called my father the second elder brother."

"Ah!" Bai Ting realized that he had been tricked, and immediately said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me from the beginning! You already knew this was not your uncle's diary!"

"Oh! Because it's fun!" Lu Luo smiled even brighter, "Look, didn't you reason out a whole story by yourself! Not to mention it's quite exciting."

"You!" Bai Jie pretended to be furious, and stretched out his hands to clamp Lu Luo.Lu Luo sat on the chair, laughed and hid, but accidentally lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Bai Ting panicked, quickly knelt beside Lu Luo, raised the back of his head where he had fallen and rubbed it: "Are you all right?"

"It's all right, there's a carpet on the floor." Lu Luo replied with a smile, his eyes met the white collar.

Bai Ting looked at Lu Luo face to face.From such a close distance, he could see the thin sweat on Lu Luo's forehead due to the fight, and the slightly trembling eyelashes with his breathing.

Lu Luo's smile gradually disappeared, and he looked straight into Bai Ling's eyes.Bai Ling's face was burning hot when he saw him, he looked away, trying to get Lu Luo up from the ground.Unexpectedly, Lu Luo pulled the white collar into his arms instead.

Bai Ling's mind went blank.His chest was against Lu Luo's chest, and his chin rested on Lu Luo's shoulder.Lu Luo buried his head in the socket of Bai Ling's shoulder, and Bai Ling could feel the touch of Lu Luo's skin.The breathing sounds of the two were intertwined and could not be distinguished clearly.

Bai Ting stared blankly at the fluff and dust on the carpet in front of him, his mind went blank, and all thoughts were suspended.

"Bai Ting," after an unknown amount of time, Bai Ting heard Lu Luo calling him softly, "Bai Ting."

"What's wrong." Bai Ting replied.His neck was itchy from Lu Luo's breathing.

"White collar."

"Are you tired of me already?"

Hearing this, Bai Ting was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the ground, but his head and waist were tightly pressed by Lu Luo.Why would he bother Lu Luo?He can't wait to be with Lu Luo every day.

"Why do you think so?" Bai Ting asked in a low voice.

"I want to go to University A with you," Lu Luo buried his head deeper into the shoulder of the white collar, "but you don't want to."

Bai Ting said helplessly: "Your grades are so good, it's a pity to go to University A."

"Then why were you so happy when I said I would not enroll in the provincial high school during the high school entrance examination, and went to the tenth high school with you?"

Bai Jing was speechless, thinking, wasn't I ignorant at that time.Provincial Middle School is the best middle school in the local area, while Tenth Middle School is just an ordinary district key.After the high school entrance examination, Bai Ling's score was only enough to get into the tenth high school, while Lu Luo's score was more than enough for the provincial high school.However, regardless of Lu Jingchun and his mother's strong opposition, Lu Luo enrolls in a school with Bai Ling.The reason is that it is close to home, has many friends, and is not alone.

When Bai Jie knew that Lu Luo and himself would go to the same high school, he happily hugged Lu Luo and walked around several times.

But Lu Luo is an outlier in Ten High School.He studied so well that he was regarded as a key training object by the teacher, treated preferentially everywhere, and always wary of other students around him leading him badly.The classmates were either jealous or disdainful, so they didn't play with Lu Luo very much.Lu Luo didn't care, he only wanted to be close to the white collar.

The college entrance examination is over.Lu Luo's score was really good, and he was the only one who could get into a B university in ten years since the establishment of the tenth middle school.But he wants to go to the same school with Bai Ling.All the teachers in the school were unmoved by the ideological work they did for him.

When the principal personally approached Bai Ting to persuade Lu Luo, Bai Ting was no longer the kid who jumped up excitedly when he heard that Lu Luo could go to a school when he graduated from junior high school.Lu Luo can't follow him all the time. He is smart, beautiful, and has a rich father. He and Bai Ling are from different worlds and should have a better life.

Bai Jie threatened Lu Luo to change his will by threatening "don't see me again if you want to enroll in A University".

Alas, Bai Jing thought, if Lu Luo hadn't been a man and still looked so ignorant, he would really have wondered whether Lu Luo had fallen in love with him.

Bai Jing knows that this is probably not love, but dependence.Lu Luo has only had him as a friend since he was a child.He was used to the white collar by his side, never thought of leaving, and didn't want the white collar to leave.

But a person's life, after all, has to face parting, it's just the difference between sooner and later.The so-called long-term companionship is nothing but a sweet melody before the final chapter of parting.

Lu Luo saw that the white collar did not answer.He continued to speak to himself:

"I know, you must be sick of me. I've been clinging to you since I was a kid. I follow you everywhere. You were supposed to make lots of new friends in high school and get a girlfriend early on. But because I've been around, you nothing."

"Everyone is not a child anymore, you must have wanted to get rid of me a long time ago, right?"

Lu Luo asked, but his body trembled slightly as if he was afraid of hearing an affirmative answer.

Seeing Lu Luo like this, Bai Ting's heart was about to break.His hand slowly stroked Lu Luo's soft hair, and whispered to him: "How could I bother you."

I like you too late.White collar thought.

"Then don't leave me. Let's go to a university." Lu Luo said.

"Lu Luo," Bai Ting said softly, "Look at yourself. You are so smart, good-looking, and have a wonderful father. You should be the one who made a lot of new friends and found a girlfriend early. You got nothing because you chose a high school with me. You know, people always have to separate. You shouldn’t just follow me and give up the world that should belong to you. You should go to a better place, Go see someone better."

Lu Luo shook his head and buried his head deeper.He said coquettishly: "I don't want it. I don't want any new friends, and I don't want any girlfriend. All I want is you."

He whispered, "I don't want to go where you can't go."

Bai Ting smiled, he thought Lu Luo was as cute as a child.He propped himself up and looked at Lu Luo who looked angry.Pinch his face.

"It's just to apply for a university, it's not a farewell," Bai Ting said softly, "University A and University B are so close, if you really like me so much, you can visit me by car every week."

"Of course," he added after thinking for a while, "whether you like it or not, I will visit you every week. You will be reimbursed for the ticket."

Lu Luo finally smiled, looking at Bai Ling with bright eyes, he put his arms around Bai Ling's neck, and said happily: "Then I want to see you every day!"

The white collar also hugged Lu Luo's waist: "Then I guess if you sell you, it won't be enough to pay for the bus ticket!"

Lu Luo laughed twice, and hugged him even tighter.

At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly.Lu Luo withdrew his hand like lightning, stood up and opened the door.

Alas, the atmosphere was so good just now.Bai Ting sat on the ground with mixed emotions in his heart.

I should have confessed, but I missed it.

================================================== ============================

August 35, XX1

I quarreled with my family again, ran away from home, and took the train to my second brother's school to find him.

When I arrived at the second brother's city, it was snowing heavily.After getting off the train, I walked to my second brother's dormitory. It was so cold that there was no car on the road. My shoes were all wet and frozen to ice.When I arrived at the second brother's dormitory, I was about to freeze.

The second brother was very surprised to see me.He scolded me for going out in such bad weather as he took all my clothes off and put them on the fire.

The second brother's room was very warm. He put on his clothes for me and warmed up a bowl of soup for me.I recovered quickly.

He was going to review his homework, and I sat by and watched.The second brother's clothes are a bit small, but they are still very comfortable to wear, and there is a scent of soap.I actually had a reaction when I put it on, but I didn't dare to go to the toilet to solve it, for fear of getting the smell and dirtying the clothes, so I could only wait for my mood to calm down.

At night, my second brother and I shared a bed to sleep.The second brother turned his back to me and soon fell asleep.

I quietly rested my forehead on my second brother's shoulder blades, listening to his steady breathing.After the second brother went to school, he never went home once.It was me who came to see him.It must have been because that house had caused him so much pain.

After he finished reading, he must not be happy to go home.

Big brother is mentally handicapped.I'm the only one who can do things at home.But both my father and my mother pushed me too hard, I wanted to give up, I wanted to throw away everything at home and come to live with my second brother in the city of my second brother.But how is that possible?

My tears dripped down and wet my second brother's clothes.Fortunately, he was still asleep and didn't notice.

It doesn't matter if he hates that family, as long as he doesn't hate me.

I like the second brother and want to kiss and caress him non-stop.However, if the second brother knew what I was thinking, he would definitely regard me as a disgusting scum and despise me and stay away from me.

Thinking of this, my heart felt as if it had been stirred by a sharp knife, and I couldn't sleep peacefully all night.
