[Rat cat] Mirror City

With Chen Mu's help, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang found the address without any effort.It was very smooth, it can be said that it went too smoothly.

A little half a step behind Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao stared at Bai Yutang's back and sighed indistinctly.In this neither long nor short process, the only one who did not go smoothly was Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang's incomprehensible attitude has always been stuck in Zhan Zhao's heart, so he has to care about it.Normally, if Zhan Zhao was a little behind him, Bai Yutang would have noticed it, and then stopped and turned to look for him.But now, Bai Yutang was clearly out of shape.

It's not that he is demanding that Bai Yutang control himself all the time, it's too hypocritical, Zhan Zhao thinks he is not so hypocritical, but Bai Yutang's abnormal appearance makes him have to care.

It's just that Bai Yutang didn't say anything, and Zhan Zhao couldn't force him to ask, but he just kept looking at Bai Yutang secretly when he wasn't paying attention.The two of them asked for directions and finally found the address.

But the result was unsatisfactory.They found the address right, but there was nothing there.All that was left was an open space with weeds growing, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stood in front of this open space, looking very desolate.

"Eh..." All the thoughts in my heart were washed away the moment I saw this empty space, maybe because my previous thoughts were too complicated, I couldn't think of anything after I cleared them.Zhan Zhao just stood there, not knowing what to say.

Taking Zhan Zhao's blank gaze into his eyes, Bai Yutang said, "Wait here, I'll go and ask what's going on." After speaking, he left.

Zhan Zhao didn't follow, so he found a big rock and sat down, pressing his face with both hands, staring at the direction Bai Yutang left.This place is also a bit out of the way, it has been a while since Bai Yutang came back.

When Bai Yutang came back, he bought two bottles of water and handed one to Zhan Zhao.Zhan Zhao took a sip and asked, "How's it going?"

Bai Yutang also took a sip of water, he hurried back after asking some people just now, he was indeed a little thirsty, "I asked, it seems that it was abandoned a long time ago, and I don't know who the owner is anymore , the place is a bit out of the way, so I didn’t buy this land again.”

The clues that were finally found were suddenly disconnected, and neither Zhan Zhao nor Bai Yutang knew about the subsequent actions.Coming here is itself a temporary decision, just holding the idea that there may be clues.

But now that the road is broken, the body stubbornly wants to stay in this place, and the intuition clamors that there is what they want here, but the rationality says that there is nothing they can do, so they are in a stalemate.

Zhan Zhao raised his head, just in time to meet Bai Yutang's lowered gaze.The two of them just stared at each other silently. After a while, Zhan Zhao suddenly laughed, feeling warm in this somewhat desolate place.

Bai Yutang stared deeply into Zhan Zhao's eyes, suddenly became flustered in Zhan Zhao's gaze, and looked away in embarrassment, but still reluctant to part with Zhan Zhao's smile, staring at the corner of Zhan Zhao's smiling mouth.

"Sit here." Zhan Zhao's voice came to mind again.Bai Yutang didn't react, he blinked - what did you just say?

Seeing that this man was as blank as a child, Zhan Zhao grabbed Bai Yutang's finger, pulled it down, and patted the seat next to him, "Here, sit here." Seeing that Bai Yutang didn't seem to have reacted yet, Zhan Zhao Zhao directly urged Bai Yutang to sit down with actions.

The two sat so close that if anyone moved a little, their shoulders would rub against each other.Zhan Zhao suddenly leaned back, Bai Yutang subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold him, but found that Zhan Zhao's hands were propped behind him, and there was a sly smile in his eyes.

This cat... Bai Yutang shook his head dumbfounded, and he did too. Sitting on a rock, where could he fall?Why are you so nervous.

"Is it fun?" Bai Yutang asked in a low voice. He made up his mind that if Zhan Zhao dared to nod, he would pounce on him and bite the tip of his nose.

And Zhan Zhao's intuition played a very good role at this time. Under the influence of the light in Bai Yutang's eyes, he did not provoke as usual, but asked flatteringly, "Did you smell it?"

As soon as the subject was diverted, Bai Yutang was taken aback, but he didn't pursue it any further. He returned to his seat and closed his eyes like Zhan Zhao did.

What Zhan Zhao was talking about was the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance of this "Yinxi Town".As soon as I arrived in this small town, the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus came to my nostrils.It's not the intensity that is close at hand, but the lightness that comes from far away with the wind, if there is nothing, it is quiet.

I asked the people in the small town, and they all said that from their birth to the present, the small town has always been haunted by cinnamon, ethereal.This cinnamon is their life companion.Spring comes warm, summer solstice is rich, autumn returns lightly, winter goes quiet, spring goes winter, this fragrance stays in every corner tenderly and never leaves.

People living in small towns have long been used to it, mentioning cinnamon, with the gentleness of seeing relatives on their faces;

People who have just come to the town are mesmerized, walking around every corner of the town but can't catch the scent of cinnamon, can't find where it comes from, and where it goes.

Smelling the fragrance that didn't belong to this season, his chaotic mind seemed to be calmed down in an instant, and he became much calmer. Bai Yutang turned his head to look at Zhan Zhao, but Zhan Zhao was not there.

Hearing a sound near him, Bai Yutang jumped off the rock, and saw Zhan Zhao squatting beside the rock, looking intently at the ground.

"There's no food on the ground." The teasing words blurted out, Bai Yutang thought that Zhan Zhao would jump up and refute, but Zhan Zhao didn't give him any aggressive response, instead he grabbed a handful of dirt and lowered his head.

"Cat..." What is Zhan Zhao doing?Worried that he would touch Hui, Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to pull Zhan Zhao.Zhan Zhao suddenly stretched out his hand in front of Bai Yutang at this moment.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stared wide-eyed, neither of them said a word, those who didn't know thought they were arguing about some important matter, "You heard about it." Zhan Zhao pouted at the dust in his hand.

Bai Yutang lowered his head and smelled without doubting him, and there was nothing but the smell of soil.What does Zhan Zhao want him to smell?Bai Yutang looked up at Zhan Zhao suspiciously.

Have the opportunity!Zhan Zhao deliberately leaned forward, and just touched Bai Yutang's nose with his dusty hand.As soon as he succeeded, Zhan Zhao immediately withdrew his hand, took a step back, and laughed mischievously.

Bai Yutang wiped his nose, and it really looked earthy.Giving Zhan Zhao a look of "you're going to die later", Bai Yutang helplessly wiped off the dirt on his nose with a wet wipe.

Zhan Zhao leaned to his side, elbowed Bai Yutang's arm, and squeezed his eyes flatteringly, and in his eyes were the words "Hero, spare your life".Bai Yutang immediately gave up.

Forget it, let him do whatever he wants.After making sure there was nothing dirty, Bai Yutang asked, "What do you want me to smell?"

"Scent of sweet-scented osmanthus, isn't it?" Zhan Zhao said with great interest, Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, isn't this natural?Where does the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance come from on the soil? I really thought this town was called "Yinxi Town", and the sweet-scented osmanthus came from the ground?

After receiving Bai Yutang's gaze, Zhan Zhao couldn't continue playing, so he could only surrender and sprinkle all the soil in his hand, took the wet towel handed over by Bai Yutang to wipe his hands, and said, "That's right, it's not from the ground. Everything that comes out of it will always have a source.”

Bai Yutang became curious, Zhan Zhao is not a person who can talk nonsense, maybe he knows something about this source.Seeing Zhan Zhao's smiling face, yes, there must be something going on.

Bai Yutang crossed his arms and straightened his face, "Little Zhan, I'll give you ten seconds to explain clearly."

Just as Zhan Zhao was about to answer, a gust of wind blew up.Zhan Zhao paused, feeling a little emotional, is it really God helping him save money on saliva?

As the wind blows, Zhan Zhao's changing expression makes Bai Yutang realize that the answer is coming.So when he concentrated his attention, he discovered that the scent of osmanthus in the wind seemed a little stronger.

Thinking it was his own illusion, Bai Yutang touched his nose, but the scent still persisted, constantly reminding him that this was the truth.

"The scent of sweet-scented osmanthus seems to be a bit stronger." Bai Yutang said uncertainly, while Zhan Zhao nodded.This scent of flowers is not like what I smelled before, it seems to be there, floating in every corner.

This intensity, opened a path in the lightness, and came directly, and an obvious path appeared in front of the two of them.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang and asked eagerly, "Will you go?"

"Go." Of course, I don't know what to do with the original purpose, at least take a look at the origin of this sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance.You might be able to find something out of the ordinary.

After all, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang followed the traces of the fragrance of flowers, and the fragrance of flowers actually led them to the edge of the town, and finally brought them to the foot of a mountain.

The cinnamon, which lost its richness at the beginning, scattered in the air in a concealed manner, hiding its traces as if there were nothing.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the weedy mountain, thinking that it might not be easy to find a way out of it.

Bai Yutang walked up first, and before walking away a few steps, he suddenly turned around and stretched out his hand towards Zhan Zhao. "Yutang, I'm very experienced in mountain walks, you don't need to..." Looking at Bai Yutang's hand, Zhan Zhao shook his head, he didn't need Bai Yutang to take care of him so carefully.

But Bai Yutang had made up his mind, hanging his hands in mid-air stubbornly, not giving in at all.Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang suspiciously, but Bai Yutang just looked at Zhan Zhao deeply, with anticipation in his eyes, urging, and complexity that Zhan Zhao couldn't tell.

In the end, Zhan Zhao was defeated, held Bai Yutang's hand, and took a big step forward with Bai Yutang's strength. The two of them were looking for a path to step on in the weeds.

Fortunately, after walking for a while, the two found that although the mountain was overgrown with weeds, there was a path.At first they thought it was not a road, but they found it winding upwards, narrow and distinct.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, then walked up the path.Suddenly a path appeared in the mountains, which made Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang feel that there was something on the mountain.

Sure enough, walking up the mountain road, the branches and leaves blocking the view gradually became less and less. Although it was not a sudden enlightenment, it made Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang feel much clearer.

Pushing aside the branches above their heads, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang finally came to a relatively flat place.After climbing for so long, both of them were tired. They wiped the sweat from their foreheads and panted on their knees.

Between sniffs, the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus that I was used to became stronger again.This scent of flowers was different from the mild scent he was used to before. It was so strong that Zhan Zhao sneezed, but he couldn't tell where it came from.

When Bai Yutang was looking around, Zhan Zhao bent down and searched for the source of the smell.It may be that he had searched the ground at the bottom of the mountain before, Zhan Zhao picked up the soil and smelled it, and found that the soil here has a sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance that the soil at the bottom of the mountain does not have.

Zhan Zhao was about to turn around and tell Bai Yutang, but the creepy feeling bumped into him unexpectedly.There is a vague bad feeling, and there is nothing underfoot.

When Bai Yutang realized it, Zhan Zhao had already fallen.Bai Yutang only remembered a buzzing in his ears, he had already rushed forward and grabbed Zhan Zhao's wrist, but because Zhan Zhao's falling force was too strong, he fell together.

Bai Yutang only had time to pull Zhan Zhao into his arms and hug him.Only then did Zhan Zhao open his eyes, unable to adapt to the darkness for the time being, Zhan Zhao couldn't see Bai Yutang, but could hear Bai Yutang's muffled groan.

Zhan Zhao suddenly understood that the two of them were sliding down now, the road was actually repaired like a slide, and the two of them just slid down like that.

Bai Yutang was just padded under him like this, and his back would definitely be injured if he slipped down like this. "Yutang!" Zhan Zhao groped for Bai Yutang's shoulder, but Bai Yutang grabbed his hand tightly, and refused to change positions.

Moreover, it is very small here, and it is not convenient for them to change positions.Zhan Zhao was extremely anxious, but he couldn't do anything.Fortunately, the slideway was not very long, and the two of them were quickly thrown out and fell to the ground.

Zhan Zhao felt pain all over his body, and he got up from the ground, but he still couldn't see where Bai Yutang was, "Yutang, where are you?"

Zhan Zhao fumbled on the ground in panic, and touched Bai Yutang's warm fingertips.Zhan Zhao held it without thinking, and moved a little closer to Bai Yutang, "Yutang?"

Zhan Zhao could feel Bai Yutang's fingertips trembling, Zhan Zhao shook his hand vigorously, and felt Bai Yutang's back grip, Bai Yutang didn't speak, he would wait.

Holding the warmth in his palm, Bai Yutang felt that his heart that had stopped beating had finally regained its ability to beat.It's not that he didn't answer Zhan Zhao's words, but that he couldn't speak because of the pain.

Just now he had been padded under Zhan Zhao, and he slid down the slide, his back was burning with pain, just now he was thrown out, and his back landed on the ground again, it really hurts.

But fortunately, he seemed to be fine after hearing Zhan Zhao's voice.That's it.The two were quiet for a while in the dark, Bai Yutang finally regained his strength, and patted Zhan Zhao's hand, "I'm fine."

Bai Yutang wanted to sit up, Zhan Zhao helped without hesitation, his arm just touched Bai Yutang's back, and Bai Yutang made a muffled sound.

"Are you injured?" Zhan Zhao's voice became even more anxious. Now it's pitch black here, and they don't know where they are, and they didn't bring anything with them. Cell phones, who should I contact now?

Anxious to get angry, but suffering from not being able to see, worried that touching him casually would make Bai Yutang's injury worse, Zhan Zhao withdrew his hand back.Bai Yutang got used to the darkness here a bit, and could see the outline, so he held Zhan Zhaozheng's shrinking hand.

Bai Yutang held it so hard that Zhan Zhao forgot how to react, so he held it tightly.Bai Yutang's hands were still trembling, Zhan Zhao felt even more guilty, "I'm sorry..."

It was fine not to say this, but once he said it, Bai Yutang increased his strength and pulled Zhan Zhao towards him.Zhan Zhao didn't struggle, and bumped into Bai Yutang just like that, the bump was painful, but Zhan Zhao still didn't struggle.

Bai Yutang buried his head in Zhan Zhao's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "You know you made a mistake, so don't do it again..." He paused, "I thought I couldn't hold you back just now...it's okay."

The burning pain on his back kept reminding Bai Yutang that fortunately, he grabbed Zhan Zhao's hand, otherwise Zhan Zhao would be the same as himself.

What Bai Yutang said made Zhan Zhao's nose sour. In front of Bai Yutang, he always easily forgets the fact that he is four years older than him, because Bai Yutang knows him too well and takes care of him too much.

Zhan Zhao raised his hand and gently rubbed Bai Yutang's hair. He was a little grateful for the darkness, which could hide his expression from Bai Yutang's eyes, but hated the darkness, which made him and Bai Yutang wonder where to go.

The two were quiet for a while, and Bai Yutang suddenly pressed Zhan Zhao's hand back, "Cat." Bai Yutang shook his head to stop Zhan Zhao's movement.

Zhan Zhao became anxious, "I'll just check how you're hurt!"

"It's okay." Bai Yutang refused to let Zhan Zhao examine him, and Zhan Zhao vaguely felt that Bai Yutang was seriously injured.But he can't force it.

Bai Yutang insisted on giving Zhan Zhao a headache because of these things. He didn't understand why he was stubborn and depressed, but he felt guilty because it was his own fault. Zhan Zhao also got angry. against oneself.

Still unable to move at the moment, Zhan Zhao simply forced Bai Yutang to sit on the ground to rest, and then groped to the other side because he felt uncomfortable.

Bai Yutang kept staring at Zhan Zhao's direction, and gradually Zhan Zhao's outline became shallower, and he quickly shouted, "Cat!"

"En." Zhan Zhao's voice was a little tense, but he answered anyway, and Bai Yutang felt relieved.

Gradually, Zhan Zhao's outline was no longer visible, only the sound of Zhan Zhao's footsteps walking further and further away, "Where are you going?" Bai Yutang stood up suddenly, unable to tell the direction for a while.

But Zhan Zhao still replied, "I'm not going far, I'm just trying to figure out how to get there, and I'll come back listening to your voice."

Zhan Zhao is not someone who can't distinguish priorities, Bai Yutang told himself, but he kept calling him.And every time Zhan Zhao would answer, this was the only reason that made Bai Yutang feel at ease.

And only, means lost, nothing.

Therefore, when Bai Wuye called Zhan Zhao again but did not receive an answer, Bai Yutang panicked.
