sunk in yesterday

The two looked for the tree that Jiang Yajie tore open last night in the same direction, but at that time all the trees were distorted and deformed. They couldn't find the location according to the impression, they could only observe carefully in the approximate place.

"Here, come here." Guan Yuzhou walked quickly diagonally, and there was a hole the size of a human head in the center of the tree directly illuminated by the light of the flashlight, and there was a little blood on the splintered wood. A few strands of hair were still attached.

He peeked into the hole, and after seeing it clearly, he took out what was inside without hesitation. It was the white porcelain rabbit that had been split in two.

"It's actually broken." Xia Zhuo took it and held it in his hand. It was heavy and real. The gemstones inlaid on the bow tie were crumbling, as if they would fall off if they were pried with something sharp.

This rabbit was a circle bigger than what they saw in the mirror image, it was as high as an adult's palm, and it was also relatively large in the music box, and its ornamental value was far higher than its practicality.He tried to put the broken parts back together, but found that the most critical part was missing - the clockwork.

Since time was tight and they didn't know what to do with the rabbit at this time, the two returned to the grave and found that the plan to dig the grave had already started.

When the peaked cap saw them coming back, he waved the branch in his hand cheerfully, "I know you can find it, so I dug this side first. But it's buried a little deep here, so come and help me."

Xia Zhuo carefully put the white rabbit on the ground, for fear of adding another crack to its beautiful body inadvertently.

He didn't stop thinking when he started, thinking over and over again when the rabbit would come in handy.He remembered what Qiu Yinghua said to him, since those children were killed by white rabbits, then this rabbit should also be able to stop the townspeople who are coming here for them?

But judging from the mission prompt, there must not be such a small number of townspeople. It is very likely that the whole town has been mobilized.Then a rabbit can't easily solve this matter, it must have other uses elsewhere.

They didn't have any tools at hand, but it was better because there were more people, and Xia Zhuo and Guan Yuzhou also dug a hard plank in a short time.

The peaked cap quickly changed its position, "It's a wooden coffin!"

The glasses lady reached out her hand to remove the soil covering the corners, and shouted to the two strong men beside her, "Lift it up and have a look."

The muscular man tried unsuccessfully, "Sister Qin, I can't lift it up, it's stuck underneath."

This may not be called a coffin at all, but more like a large box made up of discarded wooden boards, with several seams that cannot be closed, and the putrid smell of corpses can be smelled before the lid is opened.

The peaked cap pinched his nose and said, "I'm almost numb after seeing too many corpses here."

But it's not an ordinary nail sealing it, just a thumb-sized groove in the center of the surface.Xia Zhuo stared at the place for a few times, then picked up the half white rabbit on the ground, and his eyes fell on the gemstone it carried.

It should be this.

So no matter which route you stand on, the white rabbit needs to be caught in the end.

But they found the basement and exchanged the love letter with Jiang Yajie directly in the box containing the white rabbit.

Xia Zhuo tried for a while, and it seemed that the gemstone should be easily torn off, but it was firmly attached to the white porcelain, no matter how hard he pulled it, a corner would not move.

He raised the thing in distress and asked Guan Yuzhou: "How do I get this?"

Guan Yuzhou took the music box out of the warehouse.After the mirror was broken and couldn't be put back on, it only had a function of playing music. He pinched the spring with two fingers and pulled it out, pulling it away and refitting it on the white rabbit.

With the rotation of the clockwork, there was a sharp creaking sound from the inside of the rabbit, and the machine that had been silent for a long time suddenly started to operate, and the knife slashed through the glass-like noise, wrapping the listener layer by layer.

The peaked cap squatted aside and half raised his hands, as if ready to cover his ears at any time, with an indescribable expression on his face, "It's too atmospheric to let this kind of ghost crying and wolf howling at this time."

His voice almost overwhelmed the sound of the music, and the lady with glasses put her index finger on her lips, "Hush."

The white rabbit's eyes, one golden and one blue, are brighter than those seen in front of the tree hole just now, and they are reflecting light slightly under the illumination of the flashlight.Soon, two drops of water flowed from its left and right round eyes.

Xia Zhuo found it incredible.

It was crying, sitting motionless on the grave of the Qiu family, with its back facing the big box containing the two corpses.

The sharp tormenting voice gradually stopped, and the cap muttered "I heard something", but Xia Zhuo and Guan Yuzhou knew that what was played just now was the song written by Qiurui to Jiang Yajie that year - "To My Dear".

A song ends, but the clockwork on it has not stopped spinning.

Everyone didn't dare to move indiscriminately for a while, and the silence was soon replaced by a new round of music.

This is a well-known "birthday? song".

The broken notes put together a complete song, intermittent but unwilling to drop any tune.

Although the peaked cap didn't know what the previous song was, he immediately heard the content of this song.His face gradually became a little weird, and he took out a piece of translucent oil paper as thin as a cicada's wing from his pocket, and shook Xia Zhuo and Guan Yuzhou after unfolding it.

The two took a look. It was a May calendar of an unknown year, and a red fountain pen drew a circle on the number 23.

"May 23?" Xia Zhuo asked in surprise: "The dream we came in on the night of May NO.20, isn't the 23rd today?"

As soon as he finished his last word, and the birthday song ended with the last note, a gentle female voice they had just heard half an hour ago sounded smoothly:

[Today is May 23, [-], so the rabbit has already fulfilled the task of sending messages for parents for ten years.

Today, 11 years ago, my mother was still waiting for your arrival. I thank God for bestowing you on us. I am really happy to be your parents.

You were chosen to be part of our family from the very beginning of the world.You have opened up a new world for us, brought us endless joy, and become the greatest treasure indispensable in life.

Mom and Dad hope that you will work hard in the future, not that you are better than others and more outstanding, but that you will have the right to choose in the future, just like when Dad worked hard for Mom and changed the fate of being forced to make a living.

In the future, mom and dad will also grow up together with Huahua until our baby grows up and has the ability to be independent.

I hope that this year, Tutu can also convey the words to you for mom and dad.

You have to know that no matter how old you are, you are the child of your parents, and your parents will always love you.

Finally, happy birthday, baby. ]

The surroundings returned to silence, but no one spoke for a while.

That's why Qiu Yinghua gave away all her toys, but couldn't give the white rabbit to others.He knew that even though his parents had left, this rabbit had the voice of his parents, who could accompany him year after year.

The clockwork stopped turning, announcing the end of everything.

The gemstones on the white rabbit rolled down, and the body fragments put together by Xia Zhuo were cracked again, and there were a few more cracks on the ground.

Xia Zhuo thought it was a pity, bent down to pick up the gem and put it into the groove in the center of the wooden coffin.The exact weight and shape triggered the mechanism, and the tightly closed coffin door was loosened, opening to the left and right in front of them.

Qiu Rui and Jiang Yajie could still barely distinguish from their clothes, they maintained the posture of hugging each other when the cave collapsed.The muscular man bent down and put Qiu Yinghua's body inside.

As soon as the little body approached, the arms of the two grown-ups automatically loosened and took him into the center.The coffin door buzzed, carrying the surrounding fine stones and soil rushing straight into it.

The soil gradually buried their bodies, and the wind hovered in the sky like birdsong, rising and falling around the lush pine forest.When their faces were about to be covered, Xia Zhuo picked up the scattered pieces of the white rabbit and threw it into the coffin along the last remaining seam.

This is a witness to the family's relationship, how could you not go with them.

The coffin door was firmly closed again, and the ground under his feet trembled, as if a hand was dragging the coffin to sink deeper into the ground.The soil was leveled, the stele turned into powder and melted into the ground. In the blink of an eye, there was no trace of the tomb here, and it became the most inconspicuous part of the forest.

The peaked cap stretched its muscles and bones, "What else do you want to do next?"

Xia Zhuo didn't know, so he stood there and waited for a while, "...it should be gone."

A wisp of blue smoke shot straight up from the ground, and amidst the white mist, he seemed to see the exact same picture in the family photo he had taken appeared in the mist.

It's just that their clothes have changed in the picture, and Qiu Yinghua has also grown up a few years.The only thing that has not changed is the white rabbit in his arms. The broken shell has been put together again, and the gemstone in front of the bow is gone, but the pair of strange-colored eyes are as lifelike as a hidden light.

Smoke drifted into the sky, blasting a ray of light.The dark shadow above the head was torn apart by this light, and it was as bright as day for an instant. The gorgeous sunlight sprinkled on the earth, and the temperature also climbed onto the human skin, bringing a melting warmth.

[Get dream fragments*1. 】

[The return option is turned on. 】

The peaked cap straightened its back, stretched its waist and let out a breath from its lungs, "It's finally over."

Xia Zhuo felt that something was missing, and the plot was gone?What will happen to the people in that town afterwards?

But the return confirmation that appeared on the optical watch reminded him that he had indeed only reached this point.

Blossoms burst out of the ground, and a spring bloomed in the place where the wooden coffin was buried, dispelling the last bit of cold left.

Among the lush green grass, a touch of orange is very conspicuous.It is not like a plant that grows naturally, but it is incompatible with the surrounding nature.

Xia Zhuo approached in puzzlement, pushed aside the weeds covering the surface, and saw clearly what was buried below.

Before he reached out to touch it, the ball had already moved along with the wind and gently touched the toe of his shoe.

There is a sentence on it.

[I only have two little treasures left, this is for you. ]

Xia Zhuo naturally recognized the handwriting, and grinned, thinking that this thing was just taken out of the person's stomach, and now it is going to be given to him again.

Forget it, after all, it is a child's wish.

"Thank you then." He thanked in a low voice, without even thinking about checking carefully, he grabbed the ball and stuffed it in the warehouse, turned around and went to find Guan Yuzhou.

His target was standing face to face with the peaked cap talking, and when he saw him coming, he turned his head, with a gentle smile on his face.

Xia Zhuo felt that Guan Yuzhou's face was really a rigid device, even if the hair was messy and the clothes were dirty, but he felt that the charm of this person was still not lost much, and he blushed for half a second involuntarily because of that smile.

He threw himself on the opponent's shoulder, and his movements were filled with the meaning of swearing sovereignty, "What are you talking about?"

Guan Yuzhou hugged his waist, "Chang Yiqing has a small intelligence network, I have something to do with him."

Xia Zhuo originally thought that the peaked cap would come to discuss the alliance with them, but now that the dream is over, this person did not mention it again.He nodded, and suddenly remembered that Tan Nian didn't know what was going on, so he let go and ran towards the shade of the tree.

Guan Yuzhou watched him leave, and heard Chang Yiqing say in his ear: "We are all acquaintances, but I always do things regardless of distance, even you have to charge a handling fee."

Guan Yuzhou never took money seriously, "It's counted by head, check four, and you ask for a price."

Unexpectedly, Chang Yiqing said: "The money is free, please treat Zhaoqin to a meal."

Guan Yuzhou glanced at him lightly, said nothing, and walked towards where Xia Zhuo was.

Seeing his refusal, Chang Yiqing took off his hat impatiently and scratched his head, and finally gave up, "If I didn't say it, who do you want to investigate?"

Guan Yuzhou reported the names of three other people besides Di Sheng, including Jie Cheng who met in the deserted village, and Chu Jin and Yu Ziang who met in the mansion.

"I can almost remember it, wait for my email."

"Well." Guan Yuzhou asked again: "Where is the woman brought back by your companion?"

Chang Yiqing wrote lightly: "Dead."

"You killed it."

"Otherwise?" Chang Yiqing put the hat back on his head again, his casual smile changed, and his smile was full of vigor like sunshine, "But don't tell Zhaoqin, she thinks I let him go, Still pissed off at me."

"You have the guts to kill for her, but you don't have the guts to ask her out for dinner."

Chang Yiqing wasn't annoyed, and admitted it openly, "I've always been cowardly, you just have better luck than me."

Guan Yuzhou sneered, turned around and walked away.

Noticing his approach, Xia Zhuo raised his head from the shadows and waved to him, as if he couldn't stand the distance of tens of meters between the two of them, he bared his white teeth and rushed towards him.

Guan Yuzhou stretched out his hand naturally and took the person in his arms.

"Tan Nian is awake, he's fine." Xia Zhuo arched his neck and laughed, "Teacher Guan, maybe you should take a bath in the river."

Guan Yuzhou was noncommittal, and let his cold hands rest on his chin, picking at the dry soil left on his body bit by bit.The smile on Xia Zhuo's face faded a little due to his concentration. When he looked closely, his eyes were clear and clean under the sun, as if they had never been stained, and it made people want to smear some traces.

"Hey, you still have stubble." After Xia Zhuo finished speaking, he moved his hand, and slowly rubbed his fingertips against his chin back and forth. After relishing the feel of the hand, he threw out a comment: "Stinging."

The painkiller had been ineffective for a long time, Tan Nian was enduring the pain and fear, and leaned against the place where the two were, covering half of his face.

Guan Yuzhou loosened his hold on Xia Zhuo's hand, and said to the boy who was standing with his head down, "You go first."

Tan Nian hurriedly agreed, and said hello to Xia Zhuo, "Mr. Xia, next time, I'll see you next time."

Hearing that his voice was hoarse, Xia Zhuo waved his hand to drive him away: "Hurry up and get out, your little face is pale."

After sending Tan Nian away, the two of them looked around and found that everyone who had to go had left. They didn't know if Di Sheng, who was thrown in the car by them, was still alive, and whether he could wake up and leave on his own.

Xia Zhuo didn't care much about this person, thinking that he was about to go back to the sea of ​​stars alone again, reluctantly hanging on Guan Yuzhou's body to bask in the sun.

He feels good.

Especially now that there is no danger, it is comfortable and comfortable.

"Hold me for 10 minutes before leaving."

Guan Yuzhou said, "You can hold her for as long as you want."

That's not okay.Xia Zhuo lowered her head, secretly sighed regretfully, but said, "Is that so good?"

Guan Yuzhou rubbed his hair, his mind was shaken by the soft and delicate touch, he pulled him back with a little force, and bowed his head to give him a superficial kiss.

How could Xia Zhuo be satisfied with such a shallow touch after having tasted a more rippling taste.He licked his lips, his eyes gleaming, "Then is there a saying that you can kiss as many times as you want?"

"So greedy?"

Xia Zhuo was confident, "You said you have the right to be a boyfriend."

Guan Yuzhou chuckled, and suddenly picked him up from the ground by the waist.

The feeling of weightlessness made Xia Zhuo hug his head unexpectedly, his heart almost didn't keep up with his body, and it was beating in his chest.He got used to it for a while, then let go of his hand in a daze, and changed his arms around the other's neck, "What are you doing all of a sudden?"

Guan Yuzhou answered him succinctly: "Do what you just said."

"..." Xia Zhuo tried hard to think about what he said just now, so that he needed to be carried away.

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out. The person was already carried out of the forest for a hundred meters.

The means of transportation are quite comfortable, and the sunshine is just right, he was so lazy that he gave up thinking, "What did I just say?"

Guan Yuzhou met those puzzled eyes, and his smile gradually became intriguing, "Go take a bath."
