sunk in yesterday

Xia Zhuo carefully examined the aborigines who were less than two meters away from him, and the other party brought him a very strong sense of disobedience.

When he was in the living room, this person was surrounded by a sense of sadness, and even from such a long distance, he could taste the pain and despair in his heart.

But now that he saw Xu Heze's expression clearly, how could he say "sad" at all?

Xu Heze seemed unaware of the blood all over the floor, and only focused on the direction of the panda puppet. For a moment, Xia Zhuo thought he saw himself hidden in the puppet, but it was just a false alarm.

With a weird smile, he knelt on the ground almost devoutly and scooped up the blood, as if staring at the life-saving medicine, the light in his eyes could not be extinguished, then he got up and poured it from the top of the puppet's head over and over again. Tilted, but failed to leak any words.

Xia Zhuo stared at his mouth carefully, but still couldn't understand.

He didn't stay for too long, as if in a hurry, Xu Heze left after kneeling in the same place for a while with blood on his hands.

[Get dream fragments*1. 】

Just leave?What does this plot mean?

Xia Zhuo froze there with an indescribable expression, his face was already soaked by the cloth and was drenched in blood.

Guan Yuzhou let go of his hand at some point. He was too focused on Xu Heze's facial expressions just now, and didn't care about such details.Once he regained his senses, he quickly manipulated his bulky body to turn his head, and his emotions were completely shrouded in anxiety.Fortunately, Guan Yuzhou was sitting in the water unscathed, with his head drooping, his half-squinted eyes made black with red from the large swath of blood on his face, which looked terrifying at first glance.

Anyway, it's okay.

Sensing his movement, Guan Yuzhou raised his head, his eyes seemed to fall on Xia Zhuo's face through layers of velvet, he put the bottle taken from the bottom of the pool aside, and reached out to unzip him.

This liquid-filled puppet weighed a hundred catties. Xia Zhuo didn't feel much when he was sitting in the water, but when he wanted to stand up, he felt his limbs were imprisoned, and his head was sweating from the stale air.

This thing can be used as a murder tool. If you put people in it for a certain period of time, they will die of suffocation.

The air in the room may not be so fresh. Xia Zhuo stood aside and took a few small breaths. After his lungs felt better, he brushed his dirty hair back and pointed to the black glass bottle on the ground and asked: " what is that?"

"I don't know what I put there, I can't see it from the outside." Guan Yuzhou stuffed the cotton wool hidden in the locker back into the panda little by little, "Be patient for a while, and take a shower after going back."

"Hmm." Xia Zhuo nodded, but did not refute.It's just that compared to being covered in mud and covered in other people's blood before, it makes him more uncomfortable.Seeing that Guan Yuzhou was still tidying up the scene, he first grabbed the palm-long jar and shook it. The tinkling sound inside was not clear, and there were many rustling sounds of dust accumulation.

After making a rough guess about the stored items, he lifted the sealing cover and looked inside, and sure enough, they were all the jelly beans he picked up yesterday.After the previous experience, he is really not willing to touch this thing more now. When he wants to close it again, he notices a white corner exposed from the stacked particles, which looks like a piece of paper folded in half.

He stretched out his fingers to pinch it out, and repeatedly checked to make sure there was nothing else besides the paper, then he sealed the jar again and moved his legs a little further.

While unfolding it, Xia Zhuo felt that the surrounding temperature was much lower, and silently moved to Guan Yuzhou's side to absorb some warmth.

The handwriting on the paper was jerky, crooked like earthworms, not written by a ten-year-old child, but more like that left by a preschooler who had never received an education. There were many typos, and many places even used pinyin instead.

[Today is my birthday.

I have been counting, how many lazhus are there on the cake?

I forgot.

Kazawa gave me a Neng cat, I like it very much.He Ze said that in the future it will watch me grow up happily and be healthy forever.

Dad came closer and gave me another candy.

After Heze left, I was so upset that I accidentally broke the clock.

Dad called the doctor, I don't like doctors, although he wished me a happy 12th birthday before he left.

After taking 2 white pills, the light was turned off, and my father told me to go to bed quickly, and I will go to Zhaoxiang tablets tomorrow.

It’s already the second day, but I still wrote my wish on kitten paper, put it in a box and buried it under the ghost tree in the courtyard, hoping it will come true.

Stop writing, I'm a little yun.

It's already 3 o'clock, good night, Nengmao. 】

Xia Zhuo saw an expression similar to his own on Guan Yuzhou's face.

Although the number of words is small, it is a bit difficult to read, but the amount of information covered is unprecedented.

Xu Mengzhi's health is very poor; the candy was given to her by the old owner; there is a box she buried under the pagoda tree in the courtyard; the panda doll was given by her brother.

Xia Zhuo turned the paper over, the back was blank, leaving no traces.

Guan Yuzhou stared at the sentence where the burial site was written, "There is one more place to go, and the timing is tricky."

"Why?" Xia Zhuo didn't want to understand. After reading it again, he suddenly realized, "Must go before three o'clock after twelve o'clock? It is very likely that you can't dig it at other times?"

Guan Yuzhou nodded, "That's the problem. We have a clear rule that you can't leave the room after nine o'clock."

The two wandered around in the bathroom again, and after finding nothing else, they went to the outside room.

The bed curtains are hanging down, creating a closed and mysterious square space, but the bed is so clean that not a single hair can be found, all the quilt covers or sheets smell only of a damp smell that has not been dried for a long time, making The candy sweetness has also become extremely inferior.

The structure of the bed is different from that in the main house of the old house, and the bottom is hollow.The four bedposts propped up a space, but there was nothing underneath.

There is a small bookcase next to the desk. In addition to magazines and books, there is also a row of trophies in different shapes.

Xia Zhuo took a closer look, and one of the bases was laser engraved with the words "2028 International Children's Fashion Week "Creation·Dream" New Year's Eve Ceremony Gold Award".

The trophy has a unique shape and a strong sense of design. The wings of the crystal butterfly are inlaid with two topaz. Needless to say, this must be a trophy with a very high gold content in the child model industry.

"It turned out to be a small model." He looked at it and thought: "The award two years ago, how old was Xu Mengzhi at that time? But since she can still go on such a big stage, her physical fitness should be fine in 2028, and it will be a long time ago." There is a high probability that the note was left in the next two years."

"Two years ago, she was only in elementary school, and everything here is related to her." Guan Yuzhou picked out a few magazines, and Xu Mengzhi's figure was all there from the inside page interview to the cover, which shows her activity and popularity.

"Awesome, if I were her father, I would support her." Xia Zhuo marveled, "In reality, who would have such a daughter who would have been worshiped as a Bodhisattva long ago, not to mention that she is so cute, who cares? Would you like it?"

Guan Yuzhou glanced at him, "You said you liked your son before."

"Hahaha! You still remember!" Xia Zhuo teased him with a smile: "I just said casually, if you can give birth to me, I would like it even if you gave birth to a ball."

"..."

"Teacher Guan, are you alive?"

"……pregnancy."

"Okay, since you gave birth, our child's surname will be Guan from now on!" Xia Zhuo added with a smile, "I can also be surnamed Guan."

Guan Yuzhou's heart warmed, and he raised his lips to see him smile, but Xia Zhuo suddenly turned around and rushed over, confessing passionately in his ear: "Teacher Guan, I like you so much."

"Yeah." Guan Yuzhou smiled, and let him rub all over his body.

"Don't be annoying to me." Xia Zhuo let go of him slightly, stared into his eyes for two seconds, then shifted his eyes and whispered an excuse: "I just want to tell you many times, lest you forget how much I like you you."

"I know." Guan Yuzhou's eyes darkened, and he stretched out his hand to push away a strand of hair sticking to his cheek, and wiped off the dried blood on the corner of his lips, and kissed him.

Xia Zhuo endured it, but did not kiss back.He was afraid that his mouth would be filled with the smell of melted rust as soon as he went deep into it, which would inevitably torture each other too much.

The two separated, squatted on the ground and rummaged through a pile of brochures, reading all the introductions related to Xu Mengzhi, but none of them mentioned her birthday.Or even if it is mentioned, there are only vague concepts, such as "she was born in spring and is as cute as a peach blossom", "her birth melted the ice and snow in winter" and so on.

All the materials were well preserved, but there was a ball of gray paper in the corner, which was crumpled. After unfolding, it was found that it was a torn newspaper, and the content was also full of long praises.

Xia Zhuoti slipped a corner of the newspaper, "What's so special about this? Why is it so rotten?"

Guan Yuzhou flattened it on the ground, and stretched out his hand to mark the size, "The remaining two-thirds are missing, this is just a broken page. If you want to know if there are any clues we want on it, you need to put it together."

"Okay." Xia Zhuo was a little annoyed, all the things he found so far either needed a key or were incomplete.

There are a lot of cabinets in the room, except for a bed and a desk, the bedroom is full of cabinets for clothes.

They checked one by one, and seeing that the hour hand on the clock was getting closer and closer to the number six, Xia Zhuo finally reached the innermost point and opened the last cabinet door.

Different from before, what catches the eye is not colorful colors, only bottles and jars.The black glass jars that Guan Yuzhou found in the bathtub were arranged in three rows, not to mention one hundred or fifty, and the number was comparable to supermarket shelves.

Xia Zhuo picked up one of them in amazement, "Are these all sugar?"

Guan Yuzhou squatted down and studied a row of plastic bottles on the lower floor.Soon he stood up with a frown, and turned the bottle around, revealing the medicinal instructions pasted on the back.

【…

Properties: This product is a white tablet with a bitter and pungent taste.

Indications: All kinds of acute pain.

Usage and dosage: take orally.Adults, 2 tablets at a time.Children, 1 tablet at a time.

...]

Guan Yuzhou stared at the ant-sized black font for a long time, frowning all the time.Instead of taking the medicine bottle, he tore off the instructions.

It was six o'clock, and Yang Yin's voice came from downstairs calling them to eat.The two knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so they closed the cabinet and immediately went back to the second floor.

They probably won't be able to eat tonight. They have to take a shower and clean their clothes.

Xia Zhuo didn't care too much. He recovered a lot, but his appetite was still so small. As soon as he entered the room, he dragged Guan Yuzhou into the bathroom, stood under the shower and took off his clothes while washing.

There were semi-wet blood stains on the clothes, and some strange powder, which fell off as soon as the water was flushed, but he didn't notice.

"Did you expect it in advance? You wore black on purpose because you knew it would be stained with blood." Xia Zhuo was naked, rubbed her hair twice, and reached out to help Guan Yuzhou unbutton her clothes.In the end, the buttons were not unbuttoned, and the hands were stuck to the abdominal muscles and could not be moved. They pinched here and there, as if a child was excited and curious about getting a toy.

Guan Yuzhou chuckled, squeezed the shampoo and put it on his head, "Dry the clothes in a while, we have to go downstairs to participate in tonight's interrogation."

"Oh~" Xia Zhuo agreed absent-mindedly, his hand had already touched the clothes from the outside, and was about to go down, but was grabbed by Guan Yuzhou.

"What are you doing secretly?" Guan Yuzhou kissed the back of his hand, but his smiling eyes suddenly froze, staring at his forearm, his face darkened, "How did you do it?"

It was only then that Xia Zhuo noticed that there was a pinch mark on his right arm, which was bruised and purple, which looked very scary.He didn't notice it before, but now he saw it and felt a dull pain. After thinking about it carefully, he was not sure: "You grabbed it when you were in the bathtub just now? You seem to be grabbing this place at that time."

Guan Yuzhou stared at him for a long time, until the foam on the top of his hair dissipated, and then said, "I never touched you in the bathtub."
