[Rat cat] Mirror City

Bai Yutang opened his eyes.The goal is the familiar ceiling, and the familiar bed is underneath.Bai Yutang sat up, surrounded by familiar decorations.Here is his room.

It is not a magnificent hall, no ancients who come and go in a hurry, no majestic Kaifeng mansion, no bright candles that dazzle people's eyes, and no peach blossoms flying around.

Bai Yutang rubbed his swollen head, still a little confused.Were the previous ones all dreams?It shouldn't be possible.Bai Yutang frowned, the fragrance of peach talk and the mellowness of wine are still lingering in his nostrils.

Pounding hard on the bed, Bai Yutang gritted his teeth and said, "Why not later!" Yes, why not later, let him stop Zhan Zhao, stop him from drinking that glass of wine.

He reluctantly had such a real dream, shuttled in that dream, watched the alternation of day and night in another world, and just when he wanted to stay in that place for a while, he had to wake up again.

What kind of law is this?Bai Yutang gritted his teeth with hatred, he had been dreaming for too long, and his head began to feel dizzy again.Bai Yutang leaned against the head of the bed to wake himself up, but at this moment there was another knock on the door.

There was a knock on the door, and it rang again after a while.Bai Yutang suddenly remembered that he also heard this knock on the door when he felt dizzy in his dream.

Was this the sound that woke him up?Bai Yutang was already angry about getting up and had a bad temper, not to mention that this time it was the voice that broke him.

Bai Yutang opened the door with a dark face, just in time to see the servant raised his hand and was about to knock on the door again, "Has no one taught you how to behave? Go down." Bai Yutang said to him in a cold voice.

The servants were so ruined that their intestines were green. There were not many rules in the empty island, but some rules were also very strange.For example, never trample on the flowers and plants planted by Mrs. Lu, don't fill in the hole made by Mr. Han, etc.

Among the five rats in the empty island, it might be fine to break the rules of the other four masters, but no one is willing to break the rules of fifth master Bai.Bai Wuye has a cold, arrogant and ruthless temper, and no one wants to hit him with a gun.But this master has the most rules, and they are all meticulous things.

Among Bai Yutang's many rules, the first one is: never disturb Bai Wuye's sleep.When Bai Yutang's waking up anger met his gaze and his methods, no one wanted to try the consequences of disturbing Fifth Master's sleep.

So generally speaking, no one would come to wake Bai Yutang up.But Bai Yutang is also a self-disciplined person, he doesn't like to be disturbed by others, but he always wakes up on time, just a little later.

The reason why this servant came to knock on the door stupidly today is because the other four masters in the empty island think that the fifth child must be awake, so it doesn't matter.But in this situation, it doesn't matter!Who would have thought that Bai Yutang would still be asleep after this point.

"Fifth Master, there is a guest coming to visit you, and the other four masters are talking with the guests, please come over." The servant is not just taking Wu Ye's anger like this, he will explain some things immediately.

"What's the matter?" Bai Yutang rubbed his head again, he was much more awake than before, but his anger remained undiminished.

The servant carefully weighed his words, so as not to detonate the bomb, "The other party is a professor of archeology." The servants are not qualified or necessary to talk about other things, and the masters will not be happy to hear them.

Bai Yutang also knew right away that the professor of archeology came here to look for him only because of the ancient Northern Song Dynasty mirror he just bought a few days ago.

Bai Yutang has a wide range of interests in his daily life and has many ways to entertain himself, but collecting antiques is not one of them.Getting this mirror was purely accidental, but it was inevitable.

That day, Bai Yutang participated in a small auction held by a business partner. Originally, he always avoided Bai Yutang, so every time he sat in the corner, watched other people quote, and then waited for the auction The end of the meeting.

Then he saw the mirror.With just one glance, Bai Yutang felt that something had caught him completely.That was the time when he looked at the mirror in a trance, and quoted another new high price before the final word, and got the mirror.

Bai Yutang, who had never been interested in antiques, actually bid for a mirror. This abnormal behavior aroused everyone's discussion. Some even thought that they underestimated the value of the mirror and began to ask him.

But Bai Yutang didn't discuss this with anyone, because he didn't know where to start.It's like he didn't know how to explain the questions from his brothers, "You are enlightened, fifth" and "What's wrong with you, fifth".

Thinking of someone bothering him about the mirror again, Bai Yutang became furious, "Tell them where you come and go when you don't see me!" Bai Yutang slammed the door behind him.

The servant took a step back and rubbed his sore nose. Why is Fifth Master so irritable today?While thinking, the servant left Bai Yutang's room.

At this moment in the living room, Lu Fang and the others are entertaining Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao, "I didn't expect that a mirror bought by our fifth boy would attract so many people's attention, Professor Gongsun, is that mirror really like what other people said?" Isn't that easy?"

"That's not true." Gongsun Ce took out the photo of the mirror and said very excitedly, "I am very interested in the cultural relics of the Song Dynasty, and this is also my main research direction. Look at this mirror, it is perfectly carved, exquisite pattern, smooth mirror surface..."

Once Gongsun Ce talked about his research, he would chatter endlessly, which was completely different from his usual stern expression. This sudden change also left the other four stunned.

Zhan Zhao sat on the side with a wry smile, covering his face with a teacup, trying not to pay attention to Lu Fang's surprised gazes, and also trying to pretend that he didn't know Gongsun Ce.How could he be Gongsun Ce's assistant... Zhan Zhao thought about crying.

How can I say that Zhan Zhao and Gongsun have known each other for so many years, Zhan Zhao secretly poked Gongsun Ce's arm to make him return to normal, "Gongsun, be normal, you scared others."

Gongsun Ce touched his face subconsciously, and then he noticed that his face was completely fascinated, which frightened them, so Gongsun Ce quickly patted his face to recover himself, and nodded embarrassedly to the four of them.

At this time the door opened, and Gongsun Ce was expecting Bai Yutang to come in, but it turned out that it was only the servant.Zhan Zhao was also a little disappointed.

"The fifth child won't really stay in bed, right? It's going to rain red." Xu Qing, the third child, yelled directly, and he was the most straightforward among this group of people.

Jiang Ping and Han Zhang kept poking him from behind, and Lu Fang went up to cover his mouth.Jiang Ping asked the servant, "Where is the fifth child?"

The servant's face was numb, "Fifth Master said he was not feeling well, and he couldn't see the two guests today, please forgive me." These words were so good that he moved himself.

Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao looked at each other in disappointment. Since the master was inconvenient, they couldn't force it, so they could only say goodbye to Lu Fang and the others with regret.

Jiang Ping sent the two to the door and kept apologizing to Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao.Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce waved their hands to show that they don't mind, but before leaving, Gongsun Ce still left a business card for Jiang Ping, "If Mr. Bai is willing to see me, please Mr. Jiang to contact us. Excuse me today." Jiang Ping also Accepted the business card.

Although Bai Yutang slammed the door aggressively, but he really shut himself in the room, and he didn't know what to do.Lie back and sleep?He knew he couldn't sleep.Even if I fell asleep, I couldn't continue the dream just now.

But there was nothing else he could do but lie back and sleep.After entering the bathroom and washing his face to wake himself up, Bai Yutang leaned against the French window.

He knew that he was upset, and it was that glance in the dream that caused all this.Before he woke up, Bai Yutang believed that he saw the teardrops in the corner of Zhan Zhao's eyes.

Zhan Zhao, because of that Bai Yutang, coughed up blood, fell into a coma, drank alcohol in the middle of the night, and shed tears.He clearly understands that Yutang is just a bystander, but he is so heartbroken, irritable, and lacks self-love for Zhan Zhao.

But now, he was completely confused by Zhan Zhao's tears before waking up.He and him, what kind of relationship is it that can make a bystander like him feel so heartbroken.

It's messed up, all messed up.Bai Yutang had a headache, so he pressed his face to the glass, it was cool and comfortable.Squinting his eyes, Bai Yutang saw two people walking towards the gate.Those two should be the guests who are going to visit him today.

Anyway, since he had nothing to do, Bai Yutang just stared at the backs of the two of them.Looking at it, my eyes focused on the person who was half a step behind. I couldn't explain why, but I just felt very comfortable looking at it like this.

Zhan Zhao was originally chatting with Gongsun Ce, but suddenly felt a burning gaze behind him while walking.Zhan Zhao stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked towards the source of his line of sight.

He saw a large French window, and there was a person leaning there behind the French window, and that person was looking at him there.There is no malice in this kind of gaze, it is just a simple gaze, a stare.

The sunlight reflected on the floor-to-ceiling windows, and it was so far away that Zhan Zhao couldn't see that person's face clearly, only a vague figure.The confused scene made Zhan Zhao feel that this was very beautiful, and he vaguely felt that that person was Bai Wuye who just refused to see the guest.I am in the mood to look at the scenery and people by the window, and I don't look like I am not feeling well.

But Zhan Zhao wouldn't just rush in and ask if he was Bai Yutang, since he had already said goodbye, then don't bother him too much.So when he heard Gongsun Ce telling him to follow, Zhan Zhao smiled at the figure, turned and left.

Bai Yutang was dazed when Zhan Zhao smiled.At first, he just stared at Zhan Zhao's back, he didn't expect that Zhan Zhao would turn his head and look at him, and he didn't expect that Zhan Zhao would give him a smile before leaving.

Moreover, Zhan Zhao's smile made Bai Yutang's originally irritable mood settle down and calm down a lot.Bai Yutang watched Zhan Zhao and the two leave, and suddenly felt that it might not be a bad choice to agree to go out to meet guests just now.

Bai Yutang was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice that someone had entered his room, and then he felt that someone slapped him on the back and heard his fourth brother talking behind his back.

"Oh, isn't our fifth master feeling unwell? Why is he feeling unwell instead of lying on the bed and leaning against the window in a daze." Jiang Ping teased Bai Yutang, not afraid of making Bai Yutang angry.

Bai Yutang cast a weak glance at Jiang Ping, nestled on the sofa, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and did not open his mouth to refute what Jiang Ping just said.Jiang Ping observed Bai Yutang's eyes and knew that Bai Yutang was really tired.

"You didn't sleep enough? The servant told me that you were still asleep when he called you, and you went to bed very late?" Jiang Ping handed the blanket beside him to Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang wrapped himself in a blanket and muttered for a long time, "He's right, but I slept as usual last night. I'm just a little tired."

"Then what's going on with you?" Jiang Ping asked, Bai Yutang usually wouldn't show such tiredness, which made Jiang Ping a little worried.

"Fourth brother, I had a dream last night." Speaking of that dream, the previous anxiety and heartache resurfaced again, Bai Yutang rubbed his temples in pain, "It was a long, long dream until I was woken up. "

"What dream?" Jiang Ping was very curious to make Bai Yutang forget the time.

Bai Yutang lay down on the sofa well-behaved, clasped his hands, and began to recall that dream.Jiang Ping has always been a good listener, and he has kept quiet.

So Bai Yutang was able to talk about his dreams smoothly, he said a lot:

When I just woke up, I stood in the majestic and majestic hall; the guards in red official uniforms drank their sorrows with wine under the snow of peach blossoms.Bai Yutang told all about his dream, except that Zhan Zhao's name was not mentioned, the name of Bai Yutang who made Zhan Zhao suffer so much was not mentioned, and Zhan Zhao's tears were not mentioned.

This dream is long or short, but after Bai Yutang finished speaking, Jiang Ping was completely shocked, "My God, your dream is really..."

Jiang Ping didn't know how to describe this dream.No head and no tail.I don't know the origin of the beginning, I can't guess the continuation of the story, I don't know where the time will end up, but I am torn apart by the sadness of the dream.

"Seriously, fourth brother, tell me why I had this dream. It's endless, but it feels very real." Every scene in the dream shocked him so real.

Jiang Ping patted the fifth brother, "Don't think too much. When that person is dreaming, he thinks his dream is very real, but it is also a dream in the end. You are different, fifth brother, even the dream is different. .”

While talking, Jiang Ping saw the ancient mirror that Bai Yutang casually placed in the cabinet, "Maybe that mirror is a trigger point. You bought a mirror from the Northern Song Dynasty, and ended up having a dream from the Northern Song Dynasty."

Mirror?Reminded by Jiang Ping, Bai Yutang sat up startled, stared at the mirror he had put in the cabinet, and finally walked over to take it out.

Originally, Bai Yutang just wanted to pick up the mirror casually, but when he touched the frame, he unconsciously relaxed his movements, which made Jiang Ping sigh.

"Old Five, are you really obsessed? Do you really like this mirror so much?" Jiang Ping couldn't believe that when Bai Yutang was so interested in the ancient mirror.I've seen older ones before, but they're equally exquisite, and I haven't seen Bai Yutang express his opinion.

Bai Yutang took the mirror and sat back on the sofa, stroked along the lines on the mirror one by one, his mood fluctuated, a little stuffy, a little painful, but more calm.

Do you like this mirror?

Bai Yutang himself doesn't know, it's not like he doesn't have a mirror, which mirror at home is not incomparably exquisite, but this mirror...

Bai Yutang put his hand on the mirror surface, what he felt was smooth and delicate, warm and soft, but also tough, the slight undulations of the mirror surface pressed against the fingertips, something was about to come out, but it sneaked back to the bottom of the mirror.It's like putting your hand on the water, and the water ripples across your fingers.

Just looking at this mirror like this, touching this mirror, Bai Yutang felt as if something wanted to rush out of the mirror, into his body, but it was restrained and blocked.

In the game of two forces, there seems to be something stirring under the palm.

What's there?Bai Yutang opened his eyes, and found that there were circles of ripples on the mirror under his palm. Bai Yutang was startled, and immediately withdrew his hand.

Bai Yutang's movements were a bit large, which caught Jiang Ping's attention, "Old Wu, what's the matter, you were surprised?" Bai Yutang kept his face down, looking at the mirror with his head down. wrong?

"It's okay." Bai Yutang replied, but he felt more and more that this matter was evil.The fourth brother was right, he bought this mirror and started to have a strange dream, even the time period was the same.

Bai Yutang felt that such a coincidence was a bit evil.Sighing, Bai Yutang shoved the mirror into Jiang Ping's hand, "Fourth brother, please put this mirror for me first, don't put it in the room, it doesn't fit my room."

Jiang Ping barely accepted Bai Yutang's casual reasoning, because Bai Yutang was very picky about the decoration of the house, and it was really out of place for this mirror to appear in his room.

"Well, I'll put it in the collection room for you first. You have a good rest first, and you are so tired after having a dream." Jiang Ping looked at his younger brother helplessly, got up and was about to leave, when he remembered something, Take out the business card that Gongsun Ce left just now from his pocket.

"This is the contact information of that professor just now. If you are willing to meet him, please call him again." Jiang Ping handed the business card to Bai Yutang.

"There were two people who left just now, and only one business card for the two of them?" Bai Yutang glanced at the business card, and there was Gongsun Ce's name on it.

Jiang Ping became curious, "How do you know there are two people? Did you just lean against the window and watch those two people?"

"I was just in a daze. I was discovered by the person walking behind, but he probably didn't know it was me." Bai Yutang thought of the person just now, and he was in a good mood. "Is that person Gongsun Ce?"

Jiang Ping looked helpless, who could be so leisurely by leaning against the floor-to-ceiling windows in this house besides our five brothers, and they couldn't guess who you were even after seeing the four of them.

In vain of the reason made up by the servant that he was in poor health, this ancestor just walked out so swaggeringly. A steady young man, he is relatively quiet, and Gongsun Ce did not introduce him."

That means I don't know the name.Bai Yutang felt a little regretful, but it only passed in a flash.Seeing Bai Yutang's lack of interest, Jiang Ping knew that he didn't want to talk much.

"Then you rest for a while, I'll go first." After speaking, Jiang Ping walked out of Bai Yutang's room with a mirror in hand.

Jiang Ping wanted to leave, to take this mirror away, and Bai Yutang felt an inexplicable reluctance.Bai Yutang tried his best to endure, so he didn't call Jiang Ping to stop.
