[Rat cat] Mirror City

After returning home that afternoon, Zhan Zhao concentrated on studying that piece of jade.At first, Bai Yutang accompanied Zhan Zhao, but Zhan Zhao was half-baked in jade research, and Bai Yutang was even more ignorant.

One of them entered the door and the other stepped over the threshold with one foot. The warm white jade looked quite pleasing at first, but now it has become a thorn in the side of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, a thorn in the flesh.The more Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at this piece of jade, the more irritable they became.

"Really, didn't you say that Yu Wenrun keeps people calm?" Even Zhan Zhao couldn't bear it, let alone Bai Yutang's temper.

Even Ding Yuehua was so anxious that he didn't come to quarrel with the two of them, but stayed in the room peacefully by himself and didn't quarrel with them.

In the end, the two of them dragged their tired bodies back to bed and slept for the night.This frustration continued into the next morning.

As soon as Ding Yuehua came downstairs, he saw Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao nestled on the sofa, both of them looked downcast.Ding Yuehua suddenly wanted to pat the heads of the two, and then ordered food for the two and said, "It's okay, it's okay, after we eat, we can practice sitting down and shaking hands..."

However, under Zhan Zhao's mournful and Bai Yutang's threatening eyes, Ding Yuehua still decided that it would be better not to do such a thing that clearly seeks death.

Throwing Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang on the sofa and letting them grow mushrooms with black air, Ding Yuehua ran to the window and looked outside. Yesterday Ding Yao went out with his father and uncle for too long, so he just lived outside .Now is almost time for them to come back.

Ding Yuehua lay on the window sill, pointed at her chin, and waited anxiously for Ding Zhaolan and Ding Zhaohui to bring Ding Yao home.

So when Ding Yao jumped out of the car, Ding Yuehua really felt that life was bright.

As soon as Ding Yao entered the room, he threw himself into Ding Yuehua's arms. When he was hugged by Ding Yuehua, Ding Yao looked curiously at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, who were listless on the sofa, and asked Ding Yuehua, "Auntie, why don't Brother Zhan Zhao and Uncle Bai be together?" happy?"

Upon hearing the titles "Brother Zhan Zhao" and "Uncle Bai", the corners of Ding Yuehua's mouth twitched, "Well...the two of them encountered setbacks, it's okay. Are you tired?"

Ding Yao shook his head, obviously still immersed in the joy of going out to play.After putting down Ding Yao, Ding Yuehua walked towards Ding Zhaolan and Ding Zhaohui who came in after him, and asked worriedly, "Did Xiaoyao do that again last night?"

"No." When mentioning last night, Ding Zhaolan and Ding Zhaohui smiled at each other, last night should be the most peaceful time they slept in the past two months, "Maybe because I was tired from playing yesterday, Xiaoyao slept very well last night good."

"That's it..." Ding Yuehua couldn't tell whether she was happy or worried, but Ding Yao's sudden normal seemed abnormal to her.

While talking with Ding Zhaolan and Ding Zhaohui, Ding Yuehua was still paying attention to Ding Yao's situation.

Ding Yao looked at the listless Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang with his head tilted, and jumped into Zhan Zhao's arms, but Bai Yutang couldn't stop him.

"Have you had a good time?" Zhan Zhao cheered up and talked to Ding Yao.Ding Yao smiled, and didn't answer Zhan Zhao's words. Instead, he climbed off Zhan Zhao's lap and sat between Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, swinging his legs innocently, looking innocent and innocent.

Ding Yao had never been so quiet before, so quiet that even Ding Zhaolan and Ding Zhaohui, who were just relieved, were also relieved, and the three walked to the side of the sofa.

"Xiaoyao, what's the matter?" Ding Zhaohui asked.

Ding Zhaolan suddenly discovered that there was something wrong with her son's eyes. Although they were as clear as ever, they were not deep like the eyes a child should have.

Ding Zhaolan's worries about her son soon became true. Ding Yao turned his head to look at Zhan Zhao, then at Bai Yutang, and suddenly smiled, "There's something new at home."

"What's more?" Ding Yuehua asked.

Ding Yao looked directly at Ding Yuehua, just smiled and said nothing.Seeing his appearance, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt that something was wrong.Intuition told them that Ding Yao was referring to the jade brought back from the auction house.Ding Yuehua also understood, but Ding Zhaolan and Ding Zhaohui were still in the fog.

When all the adults didn't react, Ding Yao suddenly jumped off the sofa and ran to the second floor in twos and threes.

"Not good!" Bai Yutang chased him out first, followed by Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua.When they chased to the second floor, they saw Ding Yao standing in front of their door.

Bai Yutang hugged Ding Yao in his arms and looked at Ding Yao seriously.Ding Yao wasn't afraid either, he just tilted his head and smiled at him.That gaze... Ding Yuehua, who was following closely, felt a little familiar.

"This is quite an obvious provocation." Zhan Zhao said quietly from behind.Ding Yuehua suddenly came to his senses, yes, it was a provocation.She and Bai Yutang often looked at each other like this.

But would such eyes really appear on an innocent child?

"What are you looking at?" When Ding Yao's gaze appeared on him, Bai Yutang felt uncoordinated, and his tone was not much better.

Ding Yuehua hurried forward to hug Ding Yao, and asked, "Xiaoyao, what's wrong with you?"

Ding Yao was in a daze when he was carried away by Ding Yuehua, and quickly put his arms around Ding Yuehua's neck.At the first point, Ding Yao said confusedly, "Auntie, why am I on the second floor?"

He clearly remembered that he was watching brother Zhan Zhao and uncle Bai on the second floor just now, why did he come here?And it's strange, why does everyone look so serious?

Ding Yao shrinks back into Ding Yuehua's arms timidly, flustered by the current situation.Ding Yuehua looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang strangely, Zhan Zhao just shook his head.

Asking Ding Zhaolan and Ding Zhaohui to take Ding Yao away, Ding Yuehua walked into Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's room.As soon as she entered the door, she asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

"I don't know, but Ding Yao's eyes just now are definitely not normal." Bai Yutang was deeply impressed by Ding Yao's provocative gaze just now, and suddenly he pointed at Ding Yuehua, "I feel very similar to you."

"What?" Ding Yuehua pointed at herself in shock, Xiaoyao's eyes were very similar to hers... ah... Although it is good to have the same momentum as herself, her goal is to train Ding Yao to be an emperor instead of a queen ah!

"What are you thinking?" Seeing Ding Yuehua's frantic expression, Bai Yutang probably knew what she was thinking. In my room with the cat."

"That piece of jade..." Ding Yuehua gritted her teeth, it was that piece of jade again.

"It's this piece of jade." Zhan Zhao suddenly said while holding the piece of jade.Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao in surprise, and Zhan Zhao pointed to the piece of jade and said, "Perhaps it's strange to think so, but Yutang, haven't you and I experienced similar things?"

Something like that?Bai Yutang quickly thought of Gu Jing.

"What is a similar thing?" Ding Yuehua asked strangely.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and finally decided to tell Ding Yuehua about it, Ding Yuehua was trustworthy.

Although the whole matter was very brief, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang talked about it intermittently, and it took about half an hour.Half an hour later, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang faced the teary-eyed Ding Yuehua, both panicked.

"I... didn't expect... that it would be like this... You two, it's really too painful. It's okay, it's okay... woo..." As he spoke, Ding Yuehua's eyes turned red. It's about to fall.

"Hey, don't cry!" Bai Yutang had never seen a strong woman like Ding Yuehua about to cry, her head was getting big.

Zhan Zhao was in a hurry, finally remembered the box of tissues on the bedside table, and hurriedly handed it to Ding Yuehua.As soon as Ding Yuehua got the tissue, Ding Yuehua's lacrimal gland couldn't control it, and the tears fell, Ding Yuehua fell into a sad mood holding the box of tissue, "How could it be possible not to cry... It's okay, it's okay, you guys met. "

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other. Although it happened in the previous life, they really felt deeply, but they knew in their hearts that the lives of the two lives are different, and they just want to grasp the same feeling and stick to it.

But Ding Yuehua's view is different. In her opinion, the fusion of the past and the present is obviously the painful separation of thousands of years ago. Seeing Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang together now, she always feels relieved and glad. That makes it even sadder.

The woman who couldn't stop crying, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang simply waited for Ding Yuehua to finish crying.It's just that Ding Yuehua was not moved, but when he was moved, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also became emotional.

Finally, Ding Yuehua sniffed and finally regained his usual composure, "You mean that Xiaoyao's situation may be the same as yours?"

"That's not true." Zhan Zhao shook his head, "Yutang and I are in a dream, and Xiaoyao's current situation is more like being possessed."

Playing with the white jade in his hand, Zhan Zhao gradually felt that his speculation was more and more possible, "The child's body is weak and his consciousness is not strong. If there is really something attached to this piece of white jade, Xiaoyao will say that he is possessed after seeing it." Not sure, it’s normal for us to feel nothing.”

"Then just drive that thing away from Xiaoyao?" Ding Yuehua asked Zhan Zhao excitedly.Zhan Zhao didn't answer.

"This matter is not that simple." Although it was not deliberate, Bai Yutang poured cold water on it, "What the cat said is indeed very possible, but Ding Yao's situation does not seem to be pure possession. Didn't you say If you ask Ding Yao about that piece of jade, will he not answer, or even run away?"

"Ah!" Zhan Zhao exclaimed, why didn't he notice this question, "You mean that Xiaoyao probably knows something is following him?"

"Impossible. If he knew, how could he not say it? He would definitely be terrified to death of these weird things." Ding Yuehua couldn't figure it out.

Zhan Zhao felt that Bai Yutang's words were very possible, and Ding Yao's attitude was indeed a bit weird, "We think these supernatural things are weird, but children still don't understand the gap between them and reality, and they are much easier to accept than us. Maybe he really knows what is attached to the white jade."

Although this matter became more and more possible, the three of them encountered difficulties again.It is difficult for a child to be stubborn, and they cannot force him to speak.Once the pressure is tight, Ding Yao will only run away, and even put up defenses.

"It would be great if I could make Xiaoyao speak up." Ding Yuehua said frustratedly, obviously Ding Yao never hid things from her before, and Ding Yao never could hide things in his heart.But this time, the situation is completely different.

Now there are two breakthroughs in this matter, one is the white jade in their hands, but they don't know where to start; the other is Ding Yao, but the three of them don't have the heart to start with him.This feeling of dilemma is getting stronger and stronger.

"Forget it, Yuehua, you go out and look at Xiaoyao first. Let Yutang and I be quiet here." Zhan Zhao felt that he needed space to think.

When I thought about it, I thought of the night.Tired and dizzy, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang wanted to go to the yard to get some air.

The moonlight tonight is still very good, Zhan Zhao stretched his muscles and bones, opened his arms, and finally relaxed a bit, "I've been nestled in my room all day, and I haven't made any progress. I'm almost depressed to death."

"Me too." Bai Yutang was more irritable than Zhan Zhao, but for Zhan Zhao's sake, he finally got over it.Taking a deep breath, the cool air penetrated into his lungs, and Bai Yutang exhaled the stale air that had accumulated in his chest for a long time.

"Although it's a bit ridiculous, it's really relaxing to bask in the moonlight." Zhan Zhao thought of Ding Yao's appearance in the yard before being shrouded in moonlight, and he only felt emotional.

"Cat...look." Bai Yutang pressed Zhan Zhao's shoulder and led him to look back.

Zhan Zhao turned his head and found that Ding Yao who made them worry about him sneaked into the living room and lay on the window sill stepping on the sofa.The only thing that relieved Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang was that Ding Yao did not glow like a light bulb like last time.

"Are you still in a trance?" Bai Yutang said uncertainly.The two approached the window sill with the idea of ​​trying, not wanting to scare Ding Yao.If Ding Yao was really in a trance, Ding Yao wouldn't react when they approached.

They slowly took two steps towards Ding Yao, keeping their footsteps as light as possible, for fear of scaring Ding Yao by making a little noise.

But they only got a little closer, and Ding Yao spotted them.Smiling at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, Ding Yao waved to them.

It was the original Ding Yao.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other before walking towards Ding Yao in peace.As soon as he walked in, Zhan Zhao said reproachfully, "Why did you come out because you didn't sleep at night?"

"Brother Zhan Zhao and Uncle Bai are not the same." Ding Yao replied eloquently.

Bai Yutang's face turned dark when he heard Ding Yao's words "Uncle Bai", Ding Yao obviously liked Zhan Zhao very much.It's just that this kind of liking always makes Bai Yutang feel that something is wrong, especially Ding Yao's provocative smile in the afternoon.

Sometimes, Bai Yutang would think he was jealous, but a child?What about Bai Yutang?

Zhan Zhao didn't know that Bai Yutang thought so much at that moment, felt Bai Yutang's displeasure, and thought that Bai Yutang didn't like this name, "Xiaoyao, I want to be called Brother Bai." Ding Yao bathroom very obediently changed his mouth.

"Why don't you go to bed?" Bai Yutang asked Ding Yao's question again.

Ding Yao was a little afraid of Bai Yutang, so he shrunk his neck, and answered honestly, "Well, I can't sleep, I want to come out and take a look at the moonlight." While talking, Ding Yao stretched out his hands, as if holding the moonlight, "The moonlight is cold It's so cool and comfortable."

It turns out that this child not only shines on the moonlight when he is in a trance, but also likes the moonlight very much at ordinary times.Suddenly, something flashed in his mind, but Zhan Zhao didn't fully grasp it.

Moon, moonlight... white jade...

Zhan Zhao suddenly realized, and rushed to the second floor.Bai Yutang chased after two steps, turned his head to stare at Ding Yao, and pointed in the direction of Ding Yao's room.Ding Yao looked at Bai Yutang timidly. In front of Bai Yutang, he didn't dare to make trouble, so he obediently jumped off the sofa and walked to his room.

Bai Yutang also hurriedly chased him back to the room, the cat, after finally pulling him outside to breathe, why did he run back again.

There was no light turned on in the room. When Bai Yutang pushed the door and entered, he subconsciously wanted to turn on the light in the room, but he heard Zhan Zhao yelling, "Don't turn on the light." It's stuck on the door.

"What's the matter?" Bai Yutang stepped forward, Zhan Zhao opened the curtains in the room, and the whole room was shrouded in hazy moonlight.Zhan Zhao was lying on the window sill, fiddling with the piece of white jade.

"Cat, what are you looking at?" Standing behind Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang subconsciously stretched out his hand to support the window sill, wrapping Zhan Zhao in his arms.

Zhan Zhao stared at this piece of jade intently, "I heard from Xiaoyao just now, did you find that Xiaoyao is very sensitive to moonlight? I just wonder if this piece of jade will react under the white jade." As he said, Zhan Zhao Zhao gradually changed Bai Yu's angle.

Hearing what Zhan Zhao said, Bai Yutang also focused on this piece of white jade.This piece of jade is not very big, so it is really troublesome to look at it carefully.

Zhan Zhao's hands were already sore, and Bai Yutang's neck also ached.After fiddling for a long time, there was no result, and Zhan Zhao's original self-confidence began to waver, "Why not? Did I think wrong again?"

Bai Yutang was about to lower his head to comfort Zhan Zhao, telling him not to be discouraged, when suddenly some patterns flashed before his eyes.Bai Yutang immediately grabbed Zhan Zhao's hand, "Don't move, cat."

Zhan Zhao stopped immediately, looked up at Bai Yutang, did Yutang discover something?

Bai Yutang stared at the white jade in Zhan Zhao's hand, it really was flawless.But he did see the pattern just now.Maybe the angle is not right.Bai Yutang raised Zhan Zhao's hand and said, "Cat, raise it up a little bit."

Zhan Zhao immediately followed what Bai Yutang said.Bai Yutang stared at Bai Yu, and asked Zhan Zhao to adjust the angle from time to time. Finally, Bai Yutang saw the pattern again.

"Cat, look." Bai Yutang kept his hand still, and lowered Zhan Zhao's hand.Zhan Zhao finally saw the mystery.

It's just this pattern... Sensing that the angle is still not right, Zhan Zhao adjusted the white jade in his hand again, and now a clearer pattern appeared before his eyes.

"Yutang is not just a pattern, but another piece of jade." Zhan Zhao finally understood.

"Jade piece?" Bai Yutang blinked.

"Well, there is another piece of jade embedded in this piece of white jade. The person who did this work is very exquisite. In addition, the jade quality of the two pieces of jade is the same, so the appraiser didn't find it. The pattern we saw should be that It's hard to see the one on the piece of jade." Zhan Zhao turned around excitedly, pointing to the faintly visible patterns on it.

"Then what does this pattern represent?" Bai Yutang took this piece of jade, and someone would think of embedding one piece of jade into another piece of jade, this person is so boring.

Zhan Zhao's smiling face froze, and he said disappointedly, "It's hard to say about this, we need to use sophisticated instruments. Put it aside for now, and go to Yuehua's auction house tomorrow."

Regardless, this matter has finally progressed.Zhan Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, and finally felt that the pressure in his heart was a little less.

Bai Yutang was also very happy, and hugged Zhan Zhao in his arms, "Can we have a good rest this time?"
