"Xiaokuo, Xiaokuo, what's wrong with you?!" Seeing Xiaokuo's lifeless appearance, Ji Leshui suddenly screamed in panic. His cry quickly attracted Li Su, who was resting in the room, and Li Su said, "What happened?"

"Little Cave is unresponsive!" Ji Leshui sweated profusely, "What's wrong with it??"

Li Su glanced at the small cave in Ji Leshui's arms, and his face changed suddenly: "Where is Song Qingluo? Is it in the room??"

"Yes, he only came back yesterday." Ji Leshui said, "It's in the room!"

Hearing this, Li Su hurried to Song Qingluo's room and called out his name: "Song Qingluo, Song Qingluo, are you inside?"

Song Qingluo, who was usually woken up easily, did not respond to Li Su.

Li Su had some bad premonitions in his heart. He reached out to push the door, but the door was locked and couldn't be opened. In desperation, Li Su had to go back to the house to find tools, and then forcefully pried the door open. As soon as the door opened, Li Su saw the scene in the house. Song Qingluo, who should have been sleeping on the bed, disappeared at this time. The house was empty, and there were not many traces of life. It was hard to imagine that someone had already lived here. for a year. Li Su's eyes swept around the room, with an ugly expression: "He's not here."

Ji Leshui said anxiously: "Not here?? But you just came back." He quickly called Song Qingluo, but the call was not connected, indicating that the owner was turned off.

Li Su said: "Don't worry, I'll have someone check the surveillance." He took out his mobile phone and called Li Ye, briefly explained the situation, and waited for Li Ye to reply.

While waiting, they carefully placed the cave on the bed. The little skeleton lost its usual liveliness and was extremely quiet, and the two eyes that used to flicker like lights now dimmed. Xiaohua was crying beside her, and it seemed to have exhausted all its strength, raised its hand and touched Xiaohua's head with difficulty, trying to comfort her. This action made Xiaohua cry even more fiercely, and even started to hiccup: "Brother, where is my brother..."

Ji Leshui looked at this scene and felt extremely uncomfortable: "Does Xiaoku have anything to do with Song Qingluo? He had an accident and Xiaoku became like this?"

Li Su said, "Yes."

Ji Leshui didn't know, but he knew very well that the existence of the small cave was actually very special. It was also regarded as a companion, but it was not an ordinary human being, but a companion who broke away from a heresy. Back then, some kind of heresy was attached to the fake "Skull Fantasy Picture", which made the things in the picture come alive, not only turning Song Qingluo's father into a skeleton, but also alienating Song Qingluo. This caused Song Qingluo's body to undergo abnormal changes... That's when the small cave appeared.

Its situation is very strange. It was clearly differentiated from "Skull Fantasy Drama", but it is an independent heresy, and even has an inseparable relationship with Song Qingluo. People who get along with it will always feel a wonderful tranquility, as if they are nestled in a warm blanket on a winter night, with the rustling of snow still beside their ears. The investigators joked that Song Qingluo was so indifferent and Xiaocao was so cute, they really couldn't see the relationship between the two. Li Su didn't think so. He even doubted whether Xiaocao was a part of Song Qingluo... But this kind of conjecture had no basis and could not be confirmed.

However, it now seems that Song Qingluo's state has obviously had a great impact on Xiaocao.

Li Ye's call was quickly returned. He checked the surveillance and said that Song Qingluo drove out in the middle of the night with the box containing the picture scroll in his hand. When Li Su heard this, he immediately raised his mind. The box contained the heretical things that infected Song Qingluo, and it was also the origin of Song Qingluo's childhood tragedy, the work called "Skull Fantasy". This thing is supposed to be very important to Song Qingluo, why did he suddenly leave in the middle of the night with this thing?

"I saw his driving route." Li Ye said, "Go straight to the expressway, and I'm still checking where to go." He paused for a while, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, is there any notice of meteors recently? "

"Announcement? I don't know this." Li Su thought for a moment, realized what Li Ye asked about this, and said, "Then you go to check the monitoring, I'll find it myself." He hung up the phone neatly, and Li Su gave the Ji Leshui winked and asked him to go online with himself to find information about meteors. After hurriedly searching for a while, I didn't expect Li Su to find it. A few days ago, experts predicted that there would be a meteor shower in the Lyra constellation tonight. Lyra is one of the most splendid constellations in the northern Milky Way, and the falling meteors are bright and dazzling. And the best place to watch is City C, Li Su didn't have to think about it, Song Qingluo would definitely go there.

Li Su hurriedly called Li Ye and roughly determined where Song Qingluo left. After learning that Song Qingluo was going to City C, Li Ye pondered for a moment: "Then he should be going to the outskirts of City C." Look Meteors must avoid light pollution, and far from the outskirts of cities to qualify.

Li Su gritted his teeth and said, "I'll chase after him." He glanced at the dying cave, "Is he still in the car?"

"No, he should have arrived." Li Ye said, "The video I watched was four hours ago."

"Okay, I see." Li Su said.

Without much time to hesitate, Li Su picked up Xiaohua Xiaokuo and got into the car. Ji Leshui was also anxious, but Li Su was worried about his safety and refused to take him, so he had to wait at home

The car drove out of the yard, feeling the cool night wind in the spring, Li Su stepped on the accelerator hard.

Song Qingluo doesn't like spring very much.

The tragedy in his home happened in the spring when the flowers were blooming. The smell of blood mixed with the strong fragrance of flowers became his deepest memory of this season. He parked the car, walked around the dense woods, and a deep lake suddenly appeared in sight.

It's not a full moon tonight, the sky is clear and deep, just the right weather to watch shooting stars.

Although the meteor shower at night is not too big in the scale of the year, there are a lot of bolides. When the bolides fall, they will form a dazzling light different from ordinary meteors, and some will even bring a green color... Yes Song Qingluo had seen the star closest to the color of Lin Banxia's eyes.

Watching meteors doesn't require any tools, just find a place and wait quietly. Song Qingluo put down the box in his hand and sat on the soft meadow.

The lake in front of him reflected the sky, and the stars sprinkled on it with a sheen like broken diamonds. Song Qingluo opened his eyes, and his black pupils brought the entire sky into his vision. He looked very seriously, but his pupils were a little sloppy, and the whole person's temperament revealed a misty ambiguity, as if it was about to dissipate.

After another long wait, Song Qingluo slowly opened the box and spread the picture scroll on the soft grass. This picture scroll is the culprit that made him look like this. He has seen it countless times. Every detail and every brushstroke in it is deeply imprinted in his mind.

Song Qingluo's fingers rubbed the soft texture of the scroll inch by inch. He was a little careless and muttered something in a low voice.

The dark sky suddenly lit up, and something slipped through the night. Song Qingluo raised her head and saw a stream of light falling from the sky, silently falling into the lake in front of her. Then came the second and third, but in an instant, the night sky as black as a curtain was filled with stars. This season's meteor shower shouldn't be so splendid, but it seems to be specially designed to comfort Song Qingluo.

Song Qingluo was fascinated by the meteor, and the traces of the stars were also printed in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and felt that the sky seemed to be within reach. As long as he put out his fingertips slightly, he could feel the temperature of the stars.

Song Qingluo knew that Xingxing and Lin Banxia were together.

So, will the stars also be contaminated with his temperature

Thinking like this, Song Qingluo smiled. He rolled his eyes and called out, "Banxia."

No one responded, and the sound was lost in the wind blowing across the lake.

"Banxia." Song Qingluo climbed up from the meadow, the stars were still falling, one after another, disappearing onto the pitch-black lake. Looking at it like this, it was like falling into the lake. Song Qingluo stared at the lake for a moment, and whispered, "Is the star in there?"

"Did the stars fall in there?" he said to himself. "The water is too cold to find them..."

He walked to the lake step by step, and the icy lake water overflowed his ankles. He has always disliked water. This is an instinct for survival, but at this time, he looked up at the meteor and indulged in it, but he forgot the unhappiness. .

The water submerged his ankles, waist, chest... Song Qingluo was still unaware, stubbornly going forward, as if if he took a few steps forward, the falling stars would fall to his fingertips, Bring whoever he wants to see.

The water filled his mouth and nose at a slow speed. The originally cold water was miraculously warmed up, and Song Qingluo couldn't feel the cold anymore. He seemed to be floating in an ocean of stars, the warm stars kissed his eyebrows and eyes, and he heard someone calling his name, softly and gently... It was the voice he missed.

The meteors were like waterfalls, converging into a long splendid river. Song Qingluo felt that she was as small as an ant and was about to get lost in this peaceful tenderness.

However, just as his consciousness was about to dissipate, someone grabbed his arm forcefully, abruptly awakening him from this tenderness. Then, while making a harsh scolding sound, he pressed his chest hard...

Song Qingluo opened his eyes reluctantly, he saw Li Ye's frowning brows, Li Su stood beside him with an angry face, grabbed his collar and roared angrily: "Song Qingluo, you Are you fucking crazy?? You're going to kill yourself?? You're going to kill yourself??"

Song Qingluo said, "I didn't." He really didn't mean to commit suicide, but the gentleness was so charming that he got lost in it for a while. He lowered his eyes a little tiredly, "I can't die so easily."

"Damn, ****!" Li Su was furious, "Xiao Cao is going to die, you still tell me you won't die? As long as I come a step slower... a step... "

When he and Li Ye arrived here, they could no longer see Song Qingluo's people. The two of them saw the footprints on the shore of the lake. Fortunately, they were lucky, it only took a few minutes to catch Song Qingluo in the huge deep lake and forcibly rescued him.

Li Su didn't dare to think about what would happen if it was a few minutes later...

Song Qingluo lowered his eyes, not panicking at all, he said lightly, "I didn't want to die, but the stars fell into the lake, I want to fish them out."

Li Su suddenly looked at Song Qingluo with the eyes of a monster: "Are you... serious?"

"Of course." Song Qingluo said, "The lake water is too icy, he will be uncomfortable staying in it."

Li Su was a little horrified by Song Qingluo's calm expression, he swallowed, the anger in his voice disappeared, but turned into a careful test: "But Banxia is not in the stars..."

"He's inside." Song Qingluo said, "I knew he was inside. He didn't want to see me, so he never showed up." , like a delicate doll without life, "I know better than you."

Li Su was at a loss for words, and seemed to look to Li Ye for help.

Li Ye seemed very calm, as if what Song Qingluo said did not shock him too much, he patted Song Qingluo on the shoulder: "Let's go, go back."

Song Qingluo said yes.

So he really got up and planned to go back. Li Su was cold all over, and stood beside him watching Song Qingluo half-squatting on the ground, carefully packing the box, Song Qingluo didn't seem to notice his abnormality, and didn't lift his head: "What happened to the cave you just said?"

"When you entered the lake, something was wrong with Xiaodong." Li Su said, "I brought him and Xiaohua. Go and see for yourself. They are all in the car."

"Okay." Song Qingluo nodded.

Li Su and Li Ye did not urge, and allowed Song Qingluo to quietly pack the box, put the picture scroll back into it, and got up and followed Li Su and Li Ye to the outside. Li Su was beating a drum in his heart, and from time to time he looked behind him, afraid that Song Qingluo might have something wrong. Who knew what was coming? The wet Song Qingluo carried the box and just took a few steps forward, suddenly stopped, and a complicated expression appeared on her face - it was probably joy, worry, fear, but in the end, it all turned into ecstasy.

"Panxia!!" Song Qingluo called out the name from the depths of the jungle.

Li Su's attention was always on him, and when he heard him call, he almost trembled, and even wanted to tell him to shut up. But before he could say anything, Li Ye squeezed his hand heavily, and Li Ye said in a low voice, "Look ahead."

Li Su turned his head and looked forward. This glance made him freeze in place, and he immediately understood why Song Qingluo had such an expression.

Lin Banxia really appeared. He was standing in the woods, still the same as when he left. The light-colored hair swayed gently with the night wind, and the gentleman between the eyebrows was as gentle as jade. Only the eyes, only those eyes made Li Su feel unfamiliar. At first glance, they looked black, but the inside was glowing with dark green brilliance, like the top jade, beautiful without a trace of fireworks.

"Lin Banxia—" Li Su was ecstatic, he wanted to run towards Lin Banxia, and punched him fiercely, blaming him for leaving without saying goodbye, but he was stopped by Li Ye as soon as he took a step. Ye whispered: "Don't go, something is wrong."

"Where is not—" Li Su's words were only half said, because someone answered his answer.

No one could stop Song Qingluo's footsteps. Almost in an instant, Song Qingluo had already rushed in front of Lin Banxia. He stretched out his hand to give the person in front of him a big hug, but he was unable to touch his lover's. The body, but smashed heavily on an invisible wall. Song Qingluo let out a muffled groan and tasted a fishy sweet taste in his mouth. He raised his head and saw that Lin Banxia was still looking at him. There was no expression on that familiar face, as cold as the deep lake behind him.

"Lin Banxia..." Song Qingluo shouted hoarsely.

There was no response because of his lover's call. Lin Banxia was clearly opposite Song Qingluo, but the distance seemed like a star in the sky. He said lightly, "You shouldn't be here."

"Then where should I go?" Song Qingluo staggered and climbed up from the ground, reaching out and slamming the invisible wall in front of her, ignoring the flesh and blood on the back of her hand, "Where am I going, where can I find you? , you tell me, you tell me—"

Lin Banxia blinked, seeming to be a little puzzled by Song Qingluo's words, he said, "What are you doing with me?"

Song Qingluo roared: "Of course I'm looking for you back!"

"Don't look for me." The words of refusal came out of Lin Banxia's mouth, which seemed to be such an understatement. Song Qingluo's struggle and Song Qingluo's pain had become insignificant in Lin Banxia's eyes at this time. He even showed some doubts, as if he didn't understand why the people in front of him were so desperate, "I'm leaving right now, I'm here just to tell you, don't continue looking for me."

"No!!" Song Qingluo slammed into the wall angrily, "Lin Banxia, don't go - don't go - give it back to me, give him back, give me back -" He felt something in his body moving fast Fragmented, his whole soul became fragmented because of a few short words, he clearly had nowhere to be injured, but his whole body was in severe pain, "Please, Lin Banxia, Lin Banxia... don't go, don't go... don't stay. Get off me..." This was the first time he begged so humbly, begging his gods not to abandon him.

This kind of embarrassed posture was seen by the gods, but it only gave birth to a slight pity, and there was never even a moment of shaking.

The god shook his head almost without hesitation, and said to him, "I didn't leave, I've always been there." He raised his hand, green light lingered on his fingertips, and snapped his fingers, the falling meteor shower behind him Disappeared.

He is leaving.

Song Qingluo felt something, he slid down to the ground along the invisible wall, his bloody hands left two dazzling bloodstains in the air, he lowered his head, as if dead, and murmured in despair: " don't go... don't go... please..."

The gods silently refused. He looked at the sky, his expression was still as gentle, but he was indifferent to the mournful pleading behind him. Just as he was walking and was about to leave, there was a soft cry from the grass next to him. Voice.

"Brother." It was a girl's voice, sweet like candy.

Lin Banxia was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xiaohua to actually pass the barrier he set up. Also, to a certain extent, he and Xiaohua were one.

In the grass, the girl showed an innocent face, she seemed to be invisible, but with her voice, she stumbled towards Lin Banxia.

The author has something to say:

Song Qingluo coldly took out the bank card: If you leave, I will buy antiques with all your money

Lin Banxia: Damn it, I have something to discuss, big brother!
