[Rat cat] Mirror City

After getting off the taxi, Gongsun Ce led Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang into the alley.The nearby houses all have the flavor of Hui-style houses. Walking through the alleys always makes Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang feel that they have traveled in time and stepped into the past.

White walls and black tiles, horse heads rising from the walls, even if they were walking under the blue sky, the high walls always made Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang feel isolated somewhere.

Gongsun Ce led them through the alley, and finally stopped outside a certain dwelling.This dwelling looks like it has been around for some years. There are several white apricot trees planted in the open space outside it. Now it is the flowering period. The white apricot flowers are in full bloom on the branches, and the petals flutter down from the branches, turning into white butterflies chasing each other. play.

It is the existence of these few apricot trees, and the falling petals of the apricot blossoms cover the entire small courtyard together.This place is very strange, Zhan Zhao thinks so, he has never seen such a place, so isolated from the world, but perfectly integrated with the world.The people who can live in this place probably have the same unique temperament as this house.

However, the current situation obviously does not allow Zhan Zhao to stay outside the house for a while, and the three immediately walked into the small courtyard.Gongsun Ce led them into a certain bedroom.

As soon as they entered Fang Zhanzhao, what they saw was a comfortable big bed in the room that could accommodate several people lying side by side.It can be seen that there was someone lying on this bed not long ago, but that person suddenly left for some reason, the bed sheet was wrinkled, the quilt was thrown aside, and the person who was originally lying on the bed was no longer there.

There is also a middle-aged woman in the room, she should be the "Sister-in-law Chen" that Gongsun Ce mentioned on the phone just now.When Mrs. Chen saw Gongsun Ce, she stepped forward anxiously.

"Mr. Gongsun, I've searched everywhere at home, but I can't find Ah Mu." Mrs. Chen anxiously grabbed Gongsun Ce's arm, and suddenly noticed that Gongsun Ce brought two other people, "Mr. Gongsun, these two yes?"

"This is Zhan Zhao, and this is Bai Yutang. They are all my friends, and they are here to help Amu. Sister-in-law Chen, are you sure you can't find Amu anywhere in the house?" Gongsun Ce briefly introduced Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang once again turned their attention to Chen Mu.

Mrs. Chen was also anxious, "No, not at all. When I came to see him, the child was still sleeping. I just went out to wash clothes, and he was gone. He didn't bring a mobile phone, so I couldn't contact him no matter what."

In order to make sure whether Chen Mu had left, Gongsun Ce and Mrs. Chen went to the garage to see if Chen Mu's car was still there.Leave Zhan Show and Bai Yutang in this bedroom.

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were looking at the room.Zhan Zhao suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, and Zhan Zhao searched for the source curiously.

Concerned about sniffing the fragrance in the air, Zhan Zhao took a few steps forward, and bumped into Bai Yutang who was standing in front of him.Zhan Zhao grabbed Bai Yutang's clothes and sniffed lightly.

"Cat, be more restrained." Bai Yutang was taken aback by Zhan Zhao's sudden action. It's good to be enthusiastic and active, but it's not suitable for this situation at all, right?Bai Yutang hurriedly grabbed Zhan Zhao's wrist, and asked him strangely what happened.

"Yutang, do you smell the fragrance of flowers?" Zhan Zhao wrinkled his nose and sniffed hard, "It's a wonderful fragrance of flowers."

"Scent of flowers? Now that the apricot blossoms are in bloom, it's normal to have a scent of flowers." Even so, Bai Yutang still noticed the smell in the room.As Zhan Zhao said, there is indeed a floral fragrance here, and the source of the fragrance seems to be from the bed.

Why does a big man's bed smell like flowers?Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other strangely, Zhan Zhao stepped forward and lifted a corner of the folded quilt.

To their surprise, a few white apricot petals were sprinkled on the quilt.Zhan Zhao stared at the quilt curiously for a while, and then said, "I've only heard of others taking flower petal baths, but I've never heard of others sleeping on flower petal beds."

Instead, Bai Yutang suddenly sighed, "I've seen the petal bed in my life."

"Petal bed? Where?" Zhan Zhao turned his head and looked at Bai Yutang curiously, mainly because Bai Yutang's tone of voice was quite remorseful when he spoke.

Bai Yutang patted his head, really not wanting to recall this painful past, "When my eldest brother and sister-in-law took wedding photos, one of the photos was taken on a bed covered with rose petals."

By the way, this idea was proposed by Lu Fang. At that time, his only thought was that since it was a wedding photo shoot, it should be romantic. After all, life cannot be used for romance all the time.

"Wow, big brother is so romantic." Zhan Zhao's only thought was this, and Min Soo-soo must have been extremely touched when he received this gift, "Sister-in-law must be very happy."

"Yeah, I'm happy, why don't you feel happy, you're crazy about it." Min Soo-soo's moved appearance that day left a deep impression on him. Of course, it wasn't just Min Soo-soo's touch that made him unforgettable, but also the misery after being moved that day.

The wedding photos that day were taken at their home, which is big enough and beautiful enough to take good pictures.And that photo of the rose bed was taken last.

At the beginning, the scene is warm and beautiful.The cameraman that day was also infected by the atmosphere, and his artistic thoughts exploded. At the end of the last photo shoot, he suddenly proposed to take a photo of their family.

At that time, Bai Yutang and the others were immediately dumbfounded, what were they going to do with their elder brother and sister-in-law's wedding photos.Among them, Bai Yutang was the one who resisted the most.

"But did you still shoot?" Zhan Zhao asked with interest, Bai Yutang's painful expression basically revealed the answer, but Zhan Zhao was still curious about how the cameraman persuaded him.

"The cameraman said to me at the time, 'This is necessary. Meeting in life is a fate. My camera is to condense the deep friendship of you guys from all over the world in one photo. Your deep friendship will pass through each other. Your body language is contained in it, so that your emotions can be continuously sublimated and remembered...'" Bai Yutang really remembered this passage, the cameraman was very persistent at that time, and this passage was really said in one breath Without a single pause.

"..." Zhan Zhao listened for a while, and finally pressed Bai Yutang's shoulder with deep sympathy, "You actually hired a man who sold Dali pills as a videographer..."

Bai Yutang's body froze for a moment.Then Zhan Zhao noticed that Bai Yutang's shoulders were drooping more and more, thinking that what he said added a little more pain to Bai Yutang's painful memories.

"Then, what happened that left a deep impression on you?" Zhan Zhao made up his mind today to dig out this "dark history" of Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang lowered his head and said with a headache, "It was windy that night, and then the cameraman burst open the window, saying that he wanted to take a picture of roses dancing...the photo was taken, but the wind really blown that night Big."

The wind was too strong... Zhan Zhao blinked, and he could already imagine the final result of that night, "It seems that you really had a lot of troubles that night."

"Yeah..." Those roses are all precious memories of Min Soo-soo, so vacuum cleaners and the like are useless, they are all sorted by hand.Min Xiuxiu and Lu Fang were immersed in romantic thoughts and didn't realize it, but Bai Yutang felt that that day was extremely chaotic.

First, I was forced to take a photo by someone who didn't know whether it was a drug seller or a videographer, and I had to deal with the aftermath of the photographer's violent artistic thinking...

Seeing that Bai Yutang was depressed again, Zhan Zhao simply gave him a few minutes to be depressed, and went forward to pick up a piece of apricot flower petals to play with his fingertips.

Zhan Zhao glanced out the window, the white apricots were planted in front of Chen Mu’s house, he thought it might be the petals outside were blown in by the wind, but no matter how much it blows, the red apricots shouldn’t be blown in. apricot.

"Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, you and I go out to find that Chen Mu." Seeing that the car in the garage was gone, Gongsun Ce began to worry about Chen Mu, "He drove the car away, we have to find that guy quickly Come."

Seeing the anxious expression on Gongsun Ce's face, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang got into the car without further ado, and temporarily put aside the matter of the red apricot petals on the bed.

The place where Chen Mu lives still retains an antique atmosphere. The road is paved with blue and white bricks. Pedestrians walk slowly on the side of the road, enjoying the unique soothing rhythm of this town.

Even though he knows that this place is consistent with the modern time, Zhan Zhao always feels that this place is out of touch with the outside rhythm.People who live in this place don't seem to like fast pace, so from the street, everyone walks, and only occasionally, someone pushes a bicycle past.

The car seems out of place here, and passers-by are a little surprised by their appearance.Being surrounded by everyone, there is always some doubts.But this is also a good thing. They are conspicuous here, which means that Chen Mu, who also drove out, is also conspicuous.

They ambled down the street, asking a passerby if they had seen another car drive by not long ago.Fortunately, they didn't see many cars passing by one after the other, and they happened to remember them.

"Gongsun, what happened to that Chen Mu?" Taking advantage of the time in the car, Zhan Zhao finally asked the question that he had been caring about since just now.

"Some strange things have happened to Chen Mu recently, similar to what happened to you and Bai Yutang. But he is a little more serious, and his mood has been a little unstable during this time. I am worried that he will do something stupid." Gongsun Ce briefly told Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang what happened to Chen Mu.

"Ever since he moved here, he's been dreaming about a man and a woman, and he's put himself in that man's role, and he feels like he's about to fit into that role, and I always think it's not that simple , you are more experienced in this matter, we will talk about it after we get him back." Gongsun's few words aroused the interest of Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao.

Thanks to the pointers of several passers-by, they found a car parked under a restaurant. "That's Chen Mu's car." Gongsun Ce finally breathed a sigh of relief when he found Chen Mu's car.

"We'll go up together later. He's been emotionally unstable lately. I'm worried that something will happen to him." Gongsun Ce hurriedly closed the car door, and led Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao to the second floor.

Seeing how anxious Gongsun Ce was, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't help becoming worried.Bai Yutang saw that Gongsun was usually so calm, but this time he rarely became anxious, so he was a little concerned.And Zhan Zhao knew Gongsun well, and his anxious look was really rare.

When Chen Mu arrived at the restaurant, Gongsun was so worried, so to what extent was he going to be tortured by that dream?Zhan Zhao felt that he could already imagine the haggardness of the tragic hero that Gongsun Ce said...

But when Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked up to the second floor and saw the scene in front of them, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce froze in place.Because the center of the topic just now, according to Gongsun Ce's description, Chen Mu, who should be described as haggard, is now leaning on the flying chair, looking at the distant scenery on the second floor, holding a wine bowl in his hand, chatting and laughing with the drinkers next to him, occasionally drinking heavily , that heroic laughter did not show the slightest haggard appearance.

Bai Yutang was barely able to maintain his sanity, so he pointed at Chen Mu, who was drinking heavily from a wine bowl, and gave Gongsun Ce a final blow, "Is this Chen Mu? He's emotionally unstable? I think he's in good spirits." Perfect."

As if to verify Bai Yutang's words, Chen Mu burst into laughter in a very timely manner, clapped his hands and said to the drinking buddy, "Yes, this is indeed a good place. Since I moved here, I also feel that I have relaxed a lot. Sure enough, I am honored to chat with you, sir, let's have another drink, sir..."

Chen Mu turned his head and happened to see Gongsun Ce standing at the stairs.While drinking happily, he didn't realize that his doomsday was approaching. Instead, he warmly greeted Gongsun, "Gongsun, you're here too, come here, come drink, let me introduce you... ah!"

It's a pity that before Chen Mu finished speaking, Gongsun Ce rushed up to Chen Mu's head and slapped him hard.Chen Mu's wailing was so real that Bai Yutang felt pain.

Immediately afterwards, everyone present heard Gongsun Ce's cold voice, almost squeezed out from between his teeth, "Sister-in-law Chen and I are going crazy looking for you, why are you drinking for me here? Want to introduce someone to me?"

Gongsun really wanted to throw Chen Mu on the ground and stomp on him, "You can jump off a building or jump into a river. Find me a nearby place where you can jump and pretend to die. Don't waste the worries of Mrs. Chen and me. "

"Hey... are you worried about me?" Chen Mu reacted belatedly, touched his pocket, and realized that he didn't bring his mobile phone, "Ah, Gongsun, I was wrong. I didn't expect to forget it. I went out. I'm in a hurry, why don't you lend me a phone number so I can report to Aunt Chen..."

But our Gongsun didn't have the patience to listen to Chen Mu's messy explanations, and seeing Chen Mu's hippie smile, Gongsun Ce really had no place to vent his inner anger.

So Gongsun Ce walked around behind Chen Mu, instinctively used the trick Bao Zheng taught him before and locked him around his neck, "Chen Mu, you bastard!"

"Wait, wait...cough...Gong...Gongsun, don't...let me call Mrs. Chen first...Take it lightly." Chen Mu struggled under Gongsun Ce's arms, but he still had a smile on his face of.

Bai Yutang was still digesting Gongsun Ce's momentary loss of control when Zhan Zhao suddenly patted him.Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and asked him what's wrong.

"Do you think this Chen Mu is a bit like Brother Bao?" Zhan Zhao was almost sure.

Bai Yutang stroked his chin, silently looking at the heartless smile on Chen Mu's face, and the intermittent words that would piss off Gongsun Ce, "If you're talking about the ability to provoke Mao Gongsun..."

While Zhan Zhao was talking with Bai Yutang, Chen Mu saw two people.He patted Gongsun Ce on the shoulder and stopped, "Wait a minute, Gongsun, the two children you brought were scared by you."

kid?Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang pointed at themselves in disbelief, well, today is really not the usual chaos.
