soul seeker

Lin Xue and Xin Ou got out of the car, he glanced at the place he was about to enter, and sighed: "Oh, it's really big."

"You guys are here!" A middle-aged woman in a business suit walked towards them with a bag.

"Long time no see." Xin Ou hugged the woman, then put his hand on Lin Xue's shoulder, "My son."

"Hello Auntie."

"Then let's go in." The woman led Lin Xue and Xin Ou to the house.

She took out the key and opened the rusted lock.

"Wow, why is it so rusty? You haven't been in since that incident, have you?" Xin Ou was surprised.

"Yes..." The woman smiled guiltyly.

"No way……"

"Then what can I do? I'm a girl! What if I really encounter a ghost or something after entering?" The woman took off the lock and opened the door, because some parts of the door were rusted together and it was very difficult to open. Struggle, "Come in, be careful, because no one has been here for a long time, so it's very dirty."

It is not so much a greenhouse as it is a large and tall rectangular warehouse.Although there are two rows of windows, because the space is too large, the lighting is still not enough, and some places have to be closer to see clearly.

"Wow" Xin Ou looked at the window without glass and said in surprise, "You don't even fix it?"

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, there is nothing. The thief came and returned empty-handed."

The woman chatted with Xin Ou, while Lin Xue turned around in the warehouse.

"What kind of place is this?" He walked to the end and saw a door, which seemed to be a room.

"Oh there? It used to be a place for workers to rest, let me tell you..." After Lin Xue answered, the woman continued to gossip with Xin Ou.

And Lin Xue tried it, and found that the door could be opened without rust, so she pushed the door and went in, and he was stunned after taking a step.

Because the room is as empty as the outside, except for the fax machine that is incompatible with everything, and the long-haired man in ancient clothes.

Lin Xue first looked back at Xin Ou and the woman, then closed the door behind her back.

Only then did he remember that he seemed to have mentioned in previous chats that Wei Bai lived in an old flower house.

Wei Bai was also surprised, "Why did you appear here?"

Lin Xue told him the reason for coming here.

"Oh, let me tell you, why did someone come to a greenhouse that hasn't been visited for more than ten years? So have you decided? If you decide," Wei Bai turned to look at the fax machine, "I'm going to The report has been moved."

"Move place?" Lin Xue frowned, "Do you have other places to use? Didn't you say before that the place where soul seekers live is like this kind of "haunted house" and no one comes? This kind of place is not the same. If you say you found it, you will find it, right?"

"That's why I asked if you really decided?"

"Well, I'm actually not sure." Lin Xue held her chin, "Originally opening a coffee shop was just a suggestion from my mother, and I agreed to her to take a look at it without any other ideas. But it seems that my father is quite opposed to it. It's confirmed now." He raised his head and smiled at Wei Bai.

Just as Wei Bai was about to ask why, Xin Ou's voice came, "Axue saw that we were good enough and we went back. Your aunt has other things to do."

"Oh, I see, then I'll go first."

in the car.

"Axue, is there... anything you can see?"

"No," Lin Xue put down her rolled-up sleeves with a smile, "Mom, you know that eight of these rumors are false."

"So how about it? Have you decided? I see that after you saw it, you seemed to be in a good mood?"

"Well, let's do as you said, it's not bad to open a coffee shop."

The next day, Lin Xue went to the old flower house again, of course he went alone.

"It's a good thing you're here, I'm still worried that you're going to perform the mission."

"Actually, being a soul seeker is pretty idle."

When he came, Wei Bai happened to be sitting on the ground leaning against the wall, closing his eyes and resting his mind. When he heard Lin Xue's voice, he didn't even open his eyes.

"Well, let's continue what we talked about yesterday. If I tear this place down and rebuild it, where are you going for the time being?"

"I also said yesterday that this kind of place is quite difficult to find. I guess the higher-ups will let me and another soul seeker make do for a while, and then find it slowly," Wei Bai stood up, "So you are Decided?"

"Well. I have a suggestion, do you want to listen to it?"

"Proposal? What proposal?"

"I'll help you find a place to make do during this time, and you can move back after the cafe is built."

"No way?" Wei Bai looked embarrassed, "It's better not to separate soul seekers and humans."

"I didn't ask you to work in the lobby," Lin Xue said as she took out her mobile phone, "Yesterday I asked my classmates to make a simple design drawing for you to see." He handed the mobile phone to Wei Bai, "In the middle This small cylindrical room is specially made for you."

"But, but..."

"Besides," before Wei Bai could say anything, Lin Xue continued, "The place where you will settle is not as bad as it sounds. Since you are free now, I will take you to have a look." He approached and grabbed Wei Bai's sleeve and led him out.

"Hey, hey..." Wei Bai was in a state of bewilderment during the whole process, and before he could react, he was already sitting in the co-pilot, "I remember you can't drive?"

"Please," Lin Xue sat in and closed the door to start the car, "What you remember was six years ago."

"Oh...has it been so long?" Wei Bai said with a smile, "No wonder you seem to have grown a lot taller."

"Why, you soul seekers are so busy that you don't even remember the days?"

"more or less."

"This is the home of a friend of mine, but it has been vacant since he went abroad this year."

Lin Xue took Wei Bai into an apartment.

"I'm afraid it still won't work, right? I've said it all. It's better not to contact humans too much in the job of a soul seeker."

"Ask and see, I don't think you are so old-fashioned." Lin Xue drew the curtains and opened the windows to let the room breathe. "Anyway, my method is less troublesome, isn't it?"

"...Well, I'll try."

"By the way," Lin Xue, who was standing at the window looking down, suddenly thought of something she was curious about before, and turned her head to ask Wei Bai, "I've been curious lately," he pointed at the things on the street under the bed because of various reasons. The reason is the soul that cannot be reincarnated, "Why, the oldest soul I have ever seen is at most dressed in the Qing Dynasty. It is the first time I have seen a soul as old as yours, but according to what you said, they cannot be reincarnated. Shouldn’t they all stay in the world? Why haven’t the older ones seen it?”

"Oh, it was because of ethnorrhea."

"Erotic disease?"

"All in all, it's similar to glass disease, a disease that occurs in the soul," Wei Bai said, walking over and looking at the window, "When the soul reaches a certain age, the body will collapse, weather, and disappear, just like things that have been used for a long time. It will be broken, um, it has been worn away by time."

"What about you? Why didn't you have this symptom?"

"If there is one, there is no two? Don't I have glass disease?" He raised his hand and stretched out his hand to the sun to look at it with a smile, "If you have glass disease, you won't get weathering disease, so it's a blessing in disguise, right? Oh, It's almost time, I should go back," he turned and walked towards the door, "in case there is a task."

"Remember to report to the superior!"

"understood."

Sure enough, as Lin Xue said, in order to avoid trouble, the higher-ups agreed to Lin Xue's suggestion.He had told the higher-ups about Chun Ting's incident, so he was no stranger to Lin Xue and the others.

In the hospital office.

Lin Xue's father yelled at the doctor.

"It must be a misdiagnosis! I will take Xiaoou to another hospital!"

In the ward, Xin Ou fell asleep.Lin Xue sat on the chair in front of the hospital bed in a daze.

Although he understands that Xin Ou's illness has nothing to do with his father, but people are like this, when encountering unbearable things, they will always find someone or a reason to vent out to make him feel better.

At this moment, he began to hate the fact that men put all their time and energy into their careers.

Xin Ou woke up, smiled and put the pillow behind his back, and asked his son, "Why didn't you say a word to your father just now, are you angry?"

"Well. Aren't you angry?" He looked at Xin Ou, "It's almost five or six years of Spring Festival, right? We haven't had a reunion dinner, and only work is on our minds, don't you complain?"

The woman smiled, "No, because I know what your dad really cares about. The hard work is only for me and you, and it's not too wrong to blame him? And, you didn't see him Didn’t you dare to look me and your eyes just now when you came in? He’s blaming himself, he’s stupid. You too, don’t take it out on him anymore. He must be very sad to be hated by you. He’s probably angry at the doctor right now. You guys They are really father and son, so similar, always implicating and blaming people who have nothing to do with it."

44 is old.

Since Xin Ou got sick, the man seemed to be a different person. He didn't go to the company for several months, and stayed in the hospital and at home every day. He didn't even say anything unnecessary about the coffee shop. Support, human and financial resources have been used.

In the rare heavy rain in winter, the water is blown by the wind and flows down the glass, as if the glass is melting.

Wei Bai returned to the apartment after performing the task, and found Lin Xue sitting on the sofa, just like him, soaked all over, with her head bowed and silent.

"What's wrong with you?" Wei Bai went to the bathroom and got a big bath towel to cover him.

Since Wei Bai moved here, he has come here almost every day, even if Xin Ou got sick, but he hasn't shown up in the last two or three days. From this, Wei Bai deduces that Xin Ou may have something bad. thing.

"Your mother, she..." Before Wei Bai finished speaking, she was interrupted by a question from Lin Xue

"Hey Weibai, why do people die at such different times in this world? Some people die when they are born, and some people can live to the seventies."

From his expression and performance, Wei Bai was sure that Xin Ou might really be gone.

He sat down next to him with a wry smile and replied: "You just think that those who died early have too little relationship with this world, and the flowers that can't bloom can't bear fruit."
