"Finally, Pudava finally realized her mistake and was brought out of the hell of music flowers. With the help of the music flowers in heaven, she has the virtues of kindness, honesty, and fraternity.
"It regrets and feels guilty for cheating on the pebbles, the pigeons and the flowers of paradise, but no matter what, Podova finally got the most important thing, and really grew."
"But at this time, there are only twenty pieces of moss left to dry before the family's migration. In the song of blessings from the flowers in paradise, the former poacher, Uncle Bearded, drove a truck, bringing Dongdong and Pudawa with him. , once again rushed to Pudava's hometown."
Victor finally finished his story.
The three fascinated people in the hut did not speak for a while. Dong Linhai was still immersed in the depression brought about by the story. What happened to the pigeon, who was deeply hurt because of being deceived by Pudawa? Victor didn't say.
At first, Pebble and Dove both believed in Pudawa and took risks to help him escape from danger, but were deceived. The cobblestones are forever imprisoned in the river by the Queen of Pine Towers, and the doves are tormented in the kingdom of giants. Eventually Pudava grows, but what about the people it hurts growing up
Immediately, Dong Linhai realized that he was being serious. This is obviously a story told to please Miss Lu, so what do you care about the content, as long as Miss Lu likes it, you can give them a ticket.
You Yuetong only listened to the excitement throughout the whole process. Those magnificent imaginations were only a prototype in her ignorant world, and she still couldn't understand the connotations behind the stories.
On the other hand, Miss Lu held up the teacup, lowered her eyes and sipped the flower tea that was already cold and warm, and sighed softly.
"Nice story." She smiled slightly, put down the teacup, and seemed to be preoccupied.
"I also like this story very much." Victor wagged his tail, "Fairy tales are not just for children."
Miss Lu stood up: "Unfortunately, the fate of the betrayal will never be as beautiful as that little Tibetan antelope."
She walked to an embroidered blanket hanging on the wall, lifted it to reveal a wall with a hidden compartment behind it, and took out the creamy white jewelry box.
Miss Lu opened the box, picked out an old blue ticket from the pile of shiny jewelry, and handed it to Dong Linhai: "This is yours."
"Ah, thank you." Dong Linhai hurriedly took it and put it away. After getting the ticket, the final task of the box was completed, which made him feel relieved.
Miss Lu put the jewelry box back in its original place, tidied up the blanket, turned around and smiled at Victor who was standing on the table: "You must be a very gentle person."
Victor's cat ears trembled slightly, and he laughed softly: "You're not the first to say that to me."
"You give me a very familiar feeling." Miss Lu took out the kerosene lamp from the cupboard, added enough oil, and lit it on the candlestick. She looked back at Victor, and after a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Excuse me. Take the liberty, are you the former plague doctor - Crow?"
Victor was silent.
Dong Linhai was confused, what kind of crow? Isn't Victor a cat
"Yes, miss, I didn't expect anyone to remember." After a long time, Victor finally whispered, "But those are all over, the 'afternoon tea party' fell apart, all the glory and legends have passed away, the current I'm just an ordinary cat."
"No, the reason why Glory is so exciting is that it will never go out." Miss Lu picked up the lantern and said, "I have seen kingfishers, in a dream."
Victor: "Yes, she was finally chosen to be the master of the power of the dream, but the queen has made us all prisoners."
Miss Lu took You Yuetong's hand and led her to the door: "So since everyone is still there, it can't be called falling apart, let's go, I'll take you out of here."
Dong Linhai and Victor followed behind Miss Lu and walked out of the cabin. Dong Linhai finally saw the real scene in the forest for the first time - countless gray and white wandering spirits hung upside down on the trees and emerged from the ground where the soil was dug up. , but no matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't leave that square inch of land.
Weeds were growing, the leaves were drooping weakly, no animals could be seen, and there were groans and wailings of the Earthbinders everywhere. Through the branches and leaves of the trees, you can vaguely see the moon above your head that seems to be torn apart, split in two.
You Yuetong shrunk in fear, Dong Linhai tried his best not to breathe so fast, only Victor and Miss Lu seemed to be shopping at a leisurely pace.
After walking for a while, Victor broke the silence and asked first, "Did you also participate in what happened back then?"
"Yes, I was the gatekeeper of the back garden. After learning that you successfully passed the final pilgrimage, I joined my friends to betray her. In the end, it was revealed and I was brought to the judgment seat. They sentenced me to life imprisonment. I will Trapped in this small world for eternity, it will not grow old and will not die."
Victor was silent for a moment: "Sorry."
"There's nothing to be sorry for, even without you, I will one day be unbearable." Miss Lu smiled and shook her head, "This world can't get any worse."
Dong Linhai tentatively interjected: "Is there really no way to leave?"
Miss Lu: "The only way is to kill the queen, then the power of her curse will disappear."
"Queen? Isn't the queen the master of the entire pure white world? I remember that it was written in the beginner's manual that as long as you reach the end of the pilgrimage, any wish you make to her can be fulfilled."
As a young man of the new era who has been baptized by countless two-dimensional cultures, Dong Linhai immediately made up a lot of things from the conversation between Victor and Miss Lu: "Could it be that the queen is a bad person, she has been enslaving the pure Everything in the white world? Well, this setting seems a bit cliché."
Victor couldn't help laughing: "When you really experience it, you don't feel that way."
"Don't worry, I hope there will always be, but before that, we need to wait patiently." Miss Lu stood in front of an open space, she put You Yuetong's hand in Dong Linhai's palm, squatted down, Lightly touch the center of your forehead.
An antler-shaped ornament appeared on the white cat's forehead, flickering slightly and then hiding behind the fur.
"There is nothing that can help you, I can only send my blessings. May you always be as brave and fearless as you were back then."
Miss Lu put the kerosene lamp on the ground, stood up, and in the warm firelight, a simple wooden door slowly appeared in front of everyone out of thin air.
"Come on, go out through this door, you can go back outside."
Dong Linhai opened the door, and the scene of the labyrinth appeared outside. He turned back to look at Miss Lu. Her hands with black gauze gloves were dignifiedly folded on her lower abdomen. In those bright black eyes that belonged to the deer, there was a hint of Sad and tender.
After sending them away, she didn't know how long she would have to wait before she could see others again.
Maybe we'll never see it again. Didn't Cui Zuojing say that the Labyrinth of Time is a forbidden place and is usually not allowed to enter at all
With her, only the pain and struggle of ghosts, past memories, inextinguishable beliefs and hope for the future.
Dong Linhai tightened his hand on the doorknob, pursed his lower lip, and said with a smile, "We're leaving, thank you for your hospitality, and... the tea is delicious."
Under the smiling gaze of Miss Lu, he took You Yuetong and turned to walk out the door.
Victor followed behind.
Breathing in the fresh air in the labyrinth of time again, Dong Linhai couldn't help taking a deep breath. The bright sky made him think that the forest, the hut and the jumping lights were just an illusion.
The ticket was already in hand, he looked down at Victor, who was sitting on the ground in deep thought, and asked, "What is the last blessing? Did she add a buff to your uncle?"
"You can say that." Victor raised his paw and pressed it on his forehead. The deer antler pattern was displayed again, and at the same time, the description appeared in front of Victor's eyes.
[Name]Miss Lu's Blessing
[Function] Ignore the influence of the spiritual body to a certain extent
[Remarks]Use carefully, or you will be regarded as a part of them
"It looks pretty good." But Victor was concerned about another thing and was a little worried, "I thought she would give you something, but I didn't expect it to end up on me, now I don't need any For additional bonuses, improving your combat effectiveness is the most important thing at present."
"It's alright, don't you have to follow me anyway?" Dong Linhai didn't mind, because there were more attention-grabbing things in front of him, "By the way, uncle, the plague doctors, crows, etc. she mentioned, What means?"
"It's my previous title." Victor didn't hide it, he already had the most basic trust in Dong Linhai.
"Before I became a cat, I was also a member of the Pilgrims, and I was a teammate with Azuo, and we went through a lot of things together.
"During that time, the background of District IX was set in medieval Europe, steampunk style. Everyone must wear a mask of the corresponding style when going out. I am a surgeon in the real world, according to the history of those plague doctors. The costume made a beak mask.
"In the team before A Zuo and I, everyone used the animal's name as their code name. The shape of the beak mask is very similar to a crow, so I called it a crow."
"scp-049?"
Victor was a little surprised: "Yes, the inspiration comes from this, you know 049?"
Dong Linhai said with a smile: "How could I, as a scp fan, not know about such an excellent project of Epidemic Doctor. What you said is so story-like, I intuitively tell my uncle that you must be a very powerful character, and there are others that can help you. Did I say that?"
Victor laughed: "There are many more stories, but this is not a good place to tell stories."
"Yes, then you must tell me again after you go back." Dong Linhai glanced at the time in the upper right corner, and the time specified in more than two minutes was about to end.
He held You Yuetong and waited patiently on the spot for a while, the time passed minute by minute, the number got smaller and smaller, and finally it came down to 0:00:00.
How will Kars bring them back to the library? Dong Linhai was thinking about it, but suddenly he felt that his feet were empty.
The crack appeared at their feet without warning, and the irresistible suction came from the depths, not even giving the opportunity to struggle, and directly sucked the two and one cat into it.
"Ah ah ah!"
It was the same fall as when entering the labyrinth of time.
A little gleam floated from the side, and slipped between the fingers when reaching for it.
I don't know how long it took, the lower part of the dark passage gradually lit up, the appearance of the library conference hall gradually became clear, and the fall began to slow down. Dong Linhai was holding You Yuetong's hand and lost his strength uncontrollably. People fall in different directions.
A few seconds later, Dong Linhai fell onto the sofa chair.
The author has something to say: The story of Pudawa comes from the children's book "Pudawa's Five Hundred Pieces of Moss Drying Time". This book is now out of print.
