[Tomb Notes Restart] Drowning Light

New Year's Eve special episode

Wu Xie Exclusive Article

It's the end of the year again, and it's time for a reunion dinner.

As in previous years, the task of pasting Spring Festival couplets and hanging lanterns fell on Wang Meng and the waistcoat. The two came to Wushanju early, moved the ladder and got busy.

"Don't hang it wrong. The larger one is hung at the gate, and the smaller one is hung in the corridor."

Grandma Wu Xie stood in the front hall leaning on crutches, commanding Wang Meng and hanging lanterns on her waistcoat.

When An Xiaolou came out yawning, the lantern at the gate had already been hung.

"Morning, grandma."

She said hello and rubbed her eyes.

"My small building is awake, it's still early, do you want to go back and sleep for a while?"

The old lady was very happy to see the girl, and immediately beckoned her to go over.

"Come and take a look at these flowers. Before dawn, Wang Meng went to the flower market to buy them. They are definitely the freshest batch."

Many vases, large and small, were placed on the ground, as well as flowers of different colors. The strong fragrance of flowers permeated every corner of the front hall.

The old lady likes flower arrangements, and most of Wu Shanju's flower arrangements come from her hands. In previous years, on New Year's Eve, she would drag Wu Xie to arrange flower arrangements together. This year, before Wu Xie came back, An Xiaolou took Wu Xie's place.

Accompanying the old lady to fiddle with the flower branches all morning, after lunch, the old lady went to rest, and An Xiaolou lay in the courtyard and checked her mobile phone.

She sent Wu Xie a few messages in the morning, but he never replied, not knowing what was going on with him.

Audio-Technica left five days ago, and Xie Yuchen got news that someone was in Banai asking about the Zhang family's ancient building.

After Wu Xie passed by, he quickly found out that the group of Vietnamese who used his little brother to fish for corpses were doing the trouble. They wanted to find the entrance of the Zhang family's ancient building, so they dug holes in Banai without filling them, and many of them went up the mountain to work. The living Yaozhai villagers were injured.

Wang Yueban, who had to travel far away during Chinese New Year, cursed and called the police, but after the group of Vietnamese were arrested, it fell to the three of them to fill in the hole.

"Om-"

The phone vibrates to notify you of new messages.

An Xiaolou saw that it was Wu Xie, and hurriedly clicked to check.

It was a short video. In the video, Wu Xie was disheveled, and behind him were Wang Yueban and Zhang Qiling who were brandishing shovels.

Wu Xie said that she might not be able to come back for the New Year's Eve dinner tonight, and asked her to tell the old lady not to wait for them.

After An Xiaolou passed the message to the old lady, the old lady immediately called to beat Wu Xie, asking him to come back no matter how late, and the New Year's Eve dinner was hot in the pot, and they would eat it when they came back.

……

Eleven at night.

An Xiaolou was dozing off watching the Spring Festival Gala, when a sudden noise in the courtyard woke her up. After listening carefully, it was Wang Yueban's loud voice.

They are back!

She had a happy face, and stretched out her hand to pat the drool-drooling waistcoat on the other side of the sofa, "Your boss is back, go and heat up the food."

The waistcoat woke up in a daze, elbowed Wang Meng beside him, and called him to go to the kitchen with him.

"Rou'er, your fat uncle is starving to death, did you keep the chicken legs I asked you to keep? Hurry up, bring it up to Fatty and save my life!"

As soon as An Xiaolou walked outside the door, he saw Wang Yue walking over with a half-shaggy hair, and Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling behind him were not much better, all three of them were in a mess.

The clothes were so dirty that we couldn't tell what their original color was, with withered grass and fallen leaves attached to them, hair stuck together in bunches, yellow mud on the face, and a beard growing out around the mouth that hadn't been shaved.

An Xiaolou was startled: "You guys are like this, how did you pass the security check?"

Wu Xie raised her hand and touched her face, "I can't buy a ticket anymore, Xiaohua sent someone to pick it up. I was afraid that grandma would be angry if I came back late, so I came back like this."

"Fatty, I'm like this. I don't want to wash it. It's more important to fill my stomach."

After Wang Yueban finished speaking, she went straight to the kitchen following the smell of the food.

Wu Xie was also hungry, he turned to look at Zhang Qiling beside him: "Brother, I won't wash anymore, let's eat first?"

Zhang Qiling shook his head, "Dirty."

After saying that, he walked to the backyard, it seemed that he wanted to wash up before eating.

Wu Xie shouted at Zhang Qiling's back: "Brother, I haven't eaten all day, are you hungry?"

Zhang Qiling raised his hand as a response, and without stopping, he turned a corner and entered the backyard.

"What about you, should you take a bath first or eat?" An Xiaolou pulled a corner of his sleeve to wipe the yellow mud off Wu Xie's mouth, "There are a lot of food left, don't worry that the fat uncle will eat it all."

Wu Xie laughed as soon as she heard it, and raised her hand to touch the girl's head: "How do you know what I'm thinking... Ah, I forgot that my hands are dirty too!"

With his hand down, the girl's jet-black hair was also stained with yellow mud.

An Xiaolou took Wu Xie's hand indifferently, and pushed him to the room: "Let's take a bath first, it's more comfortable after washing."

……

Taking advantage of Wu Xie's time to take a bath, An Xiaolou washed his hair, and when he wrapped the dry hair cap, he heard the sound of fireworks blooming outside.

She walked outside the house and saw that the night sky in the distance was illuminated by colorful fireworks, brilliant and eye-catching.

In previous years, on New Year's Eve, fireworks and firecrackers were not allowed in the city for fear of air pollution. It was not abolished until someone researched fireworks that would not pollute the air.

"You brat, where are the fireworks going? The New Year's Eve wants me to die!"

"There is no retreat in this battle. If it's a man, roll up your sleeves!"

"..."

Wang Meng and the waistcoat were fighting each other with fireworks sticks in their hands, chasing and fighting in the courtyard. The two men in their 30s still love to play like children.

An Xiaolou looked disgusted, and then walked to the kitchen.

Walking slowly on the gravel path, after passing the Moon Gate, I saw Wang Yueban lying on the steps in front of the kitchen, holding a roast duck in one hand and a burning knife in the other, chanting something.

"Uncle Fat, it's cold on the ground, don't lie down here."

She went over to help him, but he refused.

"It's okay, you fat uncle and I are strong and strong, so it's fine to lie here for a night."

Wang Yueban waved her hands with a flushed face, her eyes couldn't find the focus, she seemed drunk.

In this winter, it is impossible to let him lie here overnight, but An Xiaolou tried, but failed to pull him up.

She straightened up, and was about to call Wang Meng and the waistcoat to help, when she suddenly saw Zhang Qiling sitting in the room eating.

An Xiaolou hurriedly said: "Brother, you are very strong, let's take the fat uncle back to his room to rest."

Zhang Qiling lowered his eyes: "No."

An Xiaolou: "Why?"

Zhang Qiling: "Heavy."

An Xiaolou: "I will support you together."

Zhang Qiling still refused: "No."

An Xiaolou was puzzled: "???"

The cold man in the hood said in a deep voice, "Dirty."

An Xiaolou: "..."

Alright, let's call Wang Meng and the waistcoat over to help.

After Wang Meng came over, he said that Wu Xie was on the phone with Wu Erbai, and asked An Xiaolou to order dumplings, and he would come over after he finished the call.

As a result, the dumplings were all cooked, but Wu Xie hadn't come over yet.

An Xiaolou saw that it was getting late, and was afraid that the dumplings would become cold and unpalatable, so he packed them in a food box and sent them over.

When she arrived in the room, Wu Xie was at the desk talking to Wu Erbai about the Zhang family's ancient building.

An Xiaolou didn't disturb the conversation between his uncle and nephew, and gently took out the dumplings and some of Wu Xie's favorite dishes from the food box, and signaled him to eat them while they were hot.

Wu Xie nodded, focusing on the conversation with Wu Erbai.

Although the power of the Wang family has been disintegrated, "it" seems to have not given up on the pursuit of longevity, and is secretly organizing new forces to make small moves.

Wu Xie doesn't want to go through another ten years of risking his life to fight "it". Now he just wants to live a peaceful and stable life with the person he cares about, so he will stop and kill the person who makes any small moves. In the cradle, do not give it the slightest chance to develop.

When I hung up the phone, there was only one dumpling left in the bowl.

Wu Xie couldn't eat anymore, and it happened to be the time to set off firecrackers to welcome the New Year at zero o'clock, and the sound of "cracking" firecrackers came from outside.

"I'm full, Xiaolou, let's go out and watch the fireworks."

The voice fell, and no one responded.

Wu Xie looked up suspiciously, "Small building?"

There was no one on the sofa, and the girl who was sitting there wiping her hair just now disappeared, leaving only a bronze bell there.

"Small building!"

Wu Xie got up abruptly, hurried to the side of the sofa, and didn't dare to touch the bronze bell when she got close.

He closed his eyes, and kept recalling the little things related to the girl in his mind, calling her over and over again in his heart.

"Little evil?"

Finally, a familiar voice sounded.

Wu Xie opened his eyes suddenly, looking at the girl who reappeared in front of him, a tear fell from his red eyes.

He opened his arms to hug her, his tense body slowly relaxed, and then the tears that flowed fell on her hair.

"Xiaoxie, what's wrong?"

An Xiaolou didn't know what happened, so he hugged Wu Xie back in a daze.

Wu Xie raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, let go of the girl, pretended nothing happened, and smiled: "It's okay, I just want to hug you."

The girl laughed along with her, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes curved into crescent moons, "You are Xiao Biesheng's newlyweds, did you miss me after going out for a few days?"

"think."

Wu Xie stared at the girl in front of her with burning eyes, and gently covered her face with her hand, "I miss you, and I will always miss you, every minute and every second."

"I miss you as well."

An Xiaolou threw himself into Wu Xie's arms with a smile, and the bronze bell hanging around his neck made a crisp sound.

Wu Xie hugged her tightly and let himself be affected by the bronze bell. Only in this way can the girl stay by his side forever.

He can't be shaken in the slightest, otherwise, the girl who has disappeared will really disappear.

Another liquid overflowed from his eyes, this time not tears, but bright drops of blood.

If you immerse yourself in the illusion created by the bronze bell for a long time, you will die soon.

Wu Xie's time is running out.

——I am willing to sink into this world and drown in the abyss with you.

This was what the girl had said to him before she disappeared completely.

"I'll be with you."

Wu Xie murmured softly, wiped away the blood, then lowered her head, and kissed the girl's lips.

If the abyss is the girl's destination, then he is willing to drown in it.

"Little evil?"

"Xiaoxie, wake up."

"Xiaoxie? You, are you crying?"

Surprised and flustered, Wu Xie opened his eyes with a "swish", and let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had just struggled ashore from the abyss, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Looking around, he found that he was still in the secret passage leading to Leicheng. The little brother was sitting opposite, with a puzzled expression, and Fatty Wang was sleeping soundly against him.

He just...had a dream?

"Little Xie, are you alright?"

The familiar voice was close to his ears, Wu Xie turned his head quickly, and saw the girl in the dream looking at him worriedly.

Wu Xie opened his mouth, but couldn't make any sound, so he stretched out his hand and pulled the girl into his arms.

Fortunately, it was just a dream, he was still on his way to Leicheng, and the girl did not disappear forever to save him.

"Little evil?"

"I need you, Xiaolou."

Wu Xie no longer hides her feelings.

"Let's go home instead of going to Leicheng."

"Drip, drip, drip—"

A straight line appeared on the ECG monitor. The man who had been lying on the hospital bed for half a year failed to survive after all. He lost all will to survive and gave up his own life.

"Wu Xie—"

The girl woke up from the nightmare and sat in the courtyard sweating profusely. It took a long time before she came back to her senses.

"..."

Gan!

Turns out she was asleep.

"Fatty! I'm back, you fat uncle! Can you still make it for the New Year's Eve dinner!"

Wang Yueban's yell came from outside, An Xiaolou was worried, stretched out his hand to pinch himself, and only after feeling the pain was he sure that he was not dreaming.

She got up quickly, and ran to the front yard with her skirt in her hands.

Ran across the gravel path, ran past the red plum beside the moon gate.

The man in the dream stepped into the backyard covered in mud.

"Wu Xie—"

She rushed over and jumped on the man regardless.

Wu Xie was almost thrown down by the girl, and he quickly hugged her, "What, what's wrong with Xiaolou? I'm dirty, your clothes..."

"Woooo..."

A small cry sounded in his ears, Wu Xie was stunned immediately, paused, patted the girl's back with his hand, and coaxed her softly: "Why are you crying, is it someone who bullied you?"

"I had a nightmare..."

An Xiaolou sobbed loudly, she felt suffocated when she thought about the scene in her dream.

If Wu Xie is really gone, she can't live alone.

"Did you dream that I was gone?"

Wu Xie chuckled, then separated a little distance, and touched the girl's forehead with her head.

The girl nodded with tears in her eyes.

Wu Xie tilted her head and kissed the girl's eyes, then kissed away the tears on her face bit by bit, and finally placed a light kiss on her lips.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"It's disgusting, the Chinese New Year is throwing dog food here!"

Fatty Wang's distasteful voice suddenly came out, "Brother, let's go quickly, don't eat the hot New Year's Eve dinner, isn't it a crime to eat dog food here!"

After speaking, he dragged the taciturn young man inside.

An Xiaolou's mood became more stable, "I'm fine, grandma is waiting inside, let's go in quickly."

Wu Xie nodded, and pulled the girl inside.

Dreams and nightmares are just dreams.

Everything in the dream, after waking up, is an illusion.

Only hands with interlocking fingers are the real world.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

At the end of this chapter, I felt like I was going crazy, and I couldn’t figure out how to write Wu Xie’s cookies

Probably because I am a little bit more small fish bottle now, so...

This lesson tells me that in the future, I must not delay writing for half a year, otherwise the beautiful man who was crazy and excited half a year ago may be replaced after half a year.

——From a bald author who wrote until almost three o'clock in the morning

So here comes the question, just this chapter, I want to see which stock you are on, and then in the next chapter, I will try to decide who the final CP is, lest everyone catch up to the end and stand on the wrong CP...
