In fact, when we talked just now, Lin Banxia felt it was strange. Since the dream, Song Qingluo has never contacted Bai Luze, and naturally he has no way to talk to him. Regarding the thing sealed in his body, even when he explained it to Li Su, he never said that it was the companion rather than the heretical thing itself. So theoretically speaking, Bai Luze had no way to know that Song Qingluo's body was sealed with Cui Gaoyu and not the dream.
But from the moment he talked to Bai Luze, Bai Luze kept calling the heretical things that Song Qingluo sealed up as "things", and Lin Banxia just felt strange at first, until Bai Luze took him to see Song Qingluo After the video, he understood Bai Luze's intention.
So how did Bai Luze know all this? After ruling out other options, there was only one answer left—he also entered a dream, and even knew that Cui Gaoyu was a companion. Listening to Lin Banxia's questioning, Bai Luze did not refute Lin Banxia's words.
His silence was an acknowledgment of that statement.
Lin Banxia was in a complicated mood: "Did you really go in?"
"Yes." Bai Luze said slowly, "but it doesn't seem to matter if he can't get in, because in my dream, he is no different from the reality, he still looks mad and irritable, and he is still locked in a mental hospital. I can't get out of the base, I can only see him once a week."
Lin Banxia: "..."
Bai Luze laughed at himself: "Even a dream is too real."
Lin Banxia said, "How did you know?" Li Su and the others were also in a dream, but after they came out, they still didn't know anything, so they were easily deceived by Song Qingluo.
"He told me." Bai Luze said, "The moment before I woke up, I stood by my bed and talked for a while." That bloodless face, vaguely seemed to disappear from this world, "He said he was rescued by Song Qingluo, let me not worry, and also said that that thing has completely disappeared... He is free... "
"But he's too stupid." Bai Luze said, "Who is Qingluo? He doesn't know, I still don't know? He is a tool to seal heresy, and the companion who was caught by him can have anything. Good end."
Lin Banxia said, "You want to use my anger to rescue Cui Gaoyu?"
Bai Luze said, "No, I just want to see him once. I've waited for him for so long, I just want to see him again."
Lin Banxia didn't know what to say, Song Qingluo on the screen had already covered the quilt and pushed out of the room. However, even when he was pushed out, he didn't fall asleep, his eyes were half-open, and those beautiful black eyes seemed to have lost their luster and were extremely dim.
Lin Banxia just glanced at it and felt distressed. He couldn't accept it, let alone the situation of Bai Luze and Cui Gaoyu.
Cui Gaoyu was tortured and didn't want Bai Luze to fall into the dream. In the last time when they were about to leave the dream, they could only see each other in the dream last time, and they couldn't even say a few words, so they separated in a hurry, and there was no day to meet again. .
Bai Luze said, "Go back, it's time for him to find you."
Lin Banxia knew that he was talking about Song Qingluo, and nodded slowly.
Bai Luze watched Lin Banxia leave. As soon as the door was closed, the room also fell into darkness. He opened his eyes, and there was only darkness in his field of vision. At one time, he was very afraid of the night, just like he was afraid of the rain. He was afraid that the night would take Cui Gaoyu away from him, but it was only at this moment that he realized that Cui Gaoyu had never returned.
That incomparably irritable lunatic in the mental hospital is just the body of Cui Gaoyu, and the soul he seeks has long since fallen into the endless abyss along with the darkness.
Never get back to him.
After Lin Banxia came out of Bai Luze's place, she found that it was raining again outside. I have to say that after experiencing everything in the dream, the moment he saw the rain, the conditioned reflex of his heart tightened. Fortunately, he soon realized that he had returned, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Looking for the route when he came, Lin Banxia returned to the room where he was resting. Li Su and Li Ye were no longer there, but Song Qingluo was sitting on the sofa with his head raised, looking like he was taking a nap, but when he heard his At the sound of footsteps, he immediately opened his eyes and said softly, "Are you back?"
"I'm back." Lin Banxia said with a smile.
He walked to Song Qingluo's side, sat down, and handed Song Qingluo the Coke that he had been holding in his hand.
Seeing Coke, Song Qingluo's expression softened a lot. She unscrewed the bottle cap and drank most of it, and then mumbled, "A little sleepy."
Lin Banxia said, "Sleep when you're sleepy. I slept for a long time just now."
"Really." Song Qingluo said, "Did you have a dream?"
Lin Banxia said, "No."
As he was talking, he saw Song Qingluo's head tilted and leaned on his shoulder, but after a while, his breathing became well-proportioned, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Banxia sat still, his eyes followed Song Qingluo's cheeks, to the neck, and then to the abdomen that was tightly covered by the work clothes. He knew that there used to be a ferocious wound there. Although it has healed, he still I deeply remember what it looked like.
Lin Banxia's nose was a little sore, and she rubbed Song Qingluo's hair with her cheek to hide the astringency in her eyes.
The two rested at the base for a night before heading home the next day.
When they returned, Bai Luze also came out to see them off, still wearing that oversized coat, and waved to Lin Banxia with a smile.
Even if he knew that Bai Luze had bad intentions, Lin Banxia still had some sympathy for this person, and waved back, because the expression was not right, and Li Su saw the clue.
Li Su said strangely: "Hey? What? When did this Bai Luze offend you?"
Lin Banxia said, "No."
"Then why do you have this expression?" Li Su asked.
"Is my expression strange?" Lin Banxia said slowly, "Maybe it's because I haven't slept well."
Li Su made an occasional sound, without thinking much, and told Lin Banxia to go back and have a good rest.
"That's right." Lin Banxia asked suddenly, "If you become the companion of a heretical thing, will you also become the companion of other heretical things?"
"Yes." Li Su said, "Although such a situation is rare, it does happen. Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"
"It's okay." Lin Banxia said, "Just asking."
Li Su hesitated.
The place to go back was different. Li Su and Li Ye didn't go with them. Song Qingluo drove Lin Banxia in the direction of home. Lin Banxia pulled out the box containing the flowers from her backpack, and held it in her arms, thinking about something.
Song Qingluo asked suddenly, "What happened?"
Lin Banxia said, "If the heretics disappear... What will happen to the companions?"
Song Qingluo pursed her lips slightly: "It exists for a while, and then disappears completely."
Lin Banxia: "..."
Song Qingluo: "What?"
Lin Banxia said, "If it disappeared, wouldn't the base find that the dream was not sealed?"
Song Qingluo said: "So what if I found out, anyway, I can detect heresy in the box now, even if it disappears, it doesn't matter to me." He raised his eyebrows, "At most, if they are called to ask questions, they can still What do you do with me?"
Lin Banxia said, "Then if Bai Luze wants to meet Cui Gaoyu before he disappears... is that possible?"
Song Qingluo said, "Without the support of dreams, no one will see Cui Gaoyu in the box."
Lin Banxia: "..."
Song Qingluo: "Did Bai Luze tell you something?"
Lin Banxia said no.
Song Qingluo sighed softly: "There are some things that can't be helped. Even if you work hard, the best results will not be satisfactory." Now the best ending is that the dream has disappeared, and everyone who entered the dream has successfully survived. , other things, even if they want to change, there is nothing they can do. The reason why the companion is called the companion, as the name suggests, must be accompanied by the demise of the heresy. No one dared to take the risk of releasing Cui Gaoyu from the box, and no one knew what the consequences would be.
Lin Banxia stopped talking, what Song Qingluo said really made sense. In front of a huge organization, there were very few facts that he could change.
A few hours later, the two arrived at the house.
In reality, they only slept for a few hours on the train for a short time, but in the dream, it was dozens of days. After they got home, they were a little tired. After a simple wash, they both went to bed. After all, Lin Banxia hadn't slept well all day and night, and almost fell on his pillow. This time, he didn't dream at all, and slept directly from morning to evening.
In the haze, I seemed to hear a crackling in the room, something was making a noise, Lin Banxia said in a daze, stop making a noise, and the room became quiet again.
However, before being quiet for a while, a shrill scream woke Lin Banxia from his sleep. He opened his eyes and sat up on the bed in a conditioned reflex. He heard a slamming sound at the door, followed by Ji Le The cry of the collapsed water: "Lin Banxia—help—there is a ghost in the house—"
Lin Banxia hurried over to open the door, and saw the screaming chicken pear flowers lying on the door with a rain, and shouted with a broken face: "Where is the boss? Is the boss there? Banxia, why is his house haunted!!"
Lin Banxia said, "Ghost? Where is the ghost?"
Ji Leshui pointed to his home and collapsed: "Didn't I come back from work? After entering the house, I always heard the rattling in the bedroom. After entering, I saw Xiaokuo standing on tiptoe and trying to pull the drawer. , I didn't think much about it, I thought it was something he wanted in the drawer, so I pulled it open for him—who knows—"
Lin Banxia had already guessed what he was going to say.
Sure enough, Ji Leshui growled: "Who knew there was a little girl in the drawer!!! She even laughed at me!!!"
Lin Banxia said, "My friend, calm down."
Ji Leshui: "Calm down, how can I calm down, who can calm down in such a situation?"
Lin Banxia had no choice but to explain: "She's not a ghost! She's a person!"
Ji Leshui: "… "
Lin Banxia's voice was a little lower, and she was also a little lacking in confidence: "It's my sister."
Ji Leshui: "… "
He stared at Lin Banxia, wanting to see from his expression that his beloved friend was joking, but no matter how he looked, he could only see seriousness in Lin Banxia's eyes, so Ji Leshui It was even more desperate, and there was almost a cry in her voice: "Lin Banxia, this is the little sister you talked to me for a few years..."
Lin Banxia: "Isn't it cute?"
Ji Leshui: "… "
Lin Banxia: "Think about it clearly, that's my sister."
Ji Leshui felt that either Lin Banxia was crazy, or he was crazy. Facing Lin Banxia's serious question, as Lin Banxia's friend, he couldn't say anything else, so he could only choked up and asked. Two words came out of his mouth: "Cute."
Cute and cute, no brains.
Lin Banxia showed a bright smile.
Over there, taking advantage of Ji Leshui's escape, Xiao Cao had fished Xiao Hua out of the drawer. Hearing the movement in the corridor, the two little things stuck their heads out. Xiao Hua's expression was timid. It wasn't because of Ji Leshui's scream that was scarier than a horror movie. When she saw Lin Banxia, she called her brother sweetly, Lin Banxia hurried over, took her into his arms, and coaxed twice: "Dear, don't be afraid, this screaming chicken is my brother's friend, although he is a little timid. Small but nice people."
Ji Leshui looked at Lin Banxia coaxing her sister, and thought sadly that Lin Banxia, you are really not human, and the person who was scared and lost seven souls is obviously me.
Seeing Xiaohua being picked up, Xiaoku also tugged at the corner of Lin Banxia's clothes, and reached out to signal that he would hug him too. So Lin Banxia bent down again, one on each side, and picked up the two little ones together.
Ji Leshui stood and watched from a distance, looking up and down on Xiaohua. I have to say that after she came out of the drawer, this little girl looked really cute. He looks very similar to Lin Banxia, with baby fat on his face, round eyes, and two playful braids. No matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary child—if not just now See her words in the drawer.
"Call brother quickly." Lin Banxia said, "Brother is timid, you can't scare him like this again in the future."
Xiaohua grabbed Lin Banxia's chest and called out to Ji Leshui softly: "Brother, I'm sorry, Xiaohua didn't mean to scare you."
Such a cute little thing apologized to himself, and Ji Leshui's frightened soul was indeed comforted, but he was still a little wary, and whispered: "Lin Banxia, is your sister really human?"
Lin Banxia lied without blushing: "Yeah." Then handed out Xiaohua, "Come and hug."
Ji Leshui hesitated for a moment, and in Lin Banxia's encouraging eyes, he tentatively extended his hand.
Xiaohua was not afraid of life, she called her brother again, and was happily hugged by Ji Leshui carefully.
Ji Leshui is an only child. Although he wanted a sister or something since he was a child, he just wanted to think about it. He has never held any children. As soon as Xiaohua fell into his arms, he was at a loss, and he always felt as if he was holding a piece of tofu. With a little force, the tofu will break.
With kind eyes, Lin Banxia instructed Ji Leshui: "Take your time, take your time, yes, this is the posture..."
Ji Leshui's helpless appearance made Lin Banxia's little cave in his arms smile.
The two were tossing around when there were light footsteps on the other side of the corridor. Lin Banxia turned her head and saw Song Qingluo. He was carrying a lot of vegetables. He should have just gone to the supermarket and said, "Why? Woolen cloth?"
Lin Banxia whispered, "Did you let Xiao Hua out?"
Song Qingluo said, "Well, let her out after waking up."
"Ji Leshui is at get off work." Lin Banxia said, "As soon as I opened the drawer, I saw Xiao Hua inside..."
Song Qingluo was silent for two seconds, and said, "Sorry, I forgot he was next door." At first, he thought that there was no one around, and it was okay to let Xiaohua out to get some air, but he forgot that Ji Leshui, the screaming chicken, was off work. Fortunately, looking at him holding Xiao Hua cautiously now, it is obvious that he has forgotten what happened just now.
Lin Banxia and Song Qingluo looked at each other tacitly and decided to change the subject. Lin Banxia said, "I bought so many vegetables, what are you going to eat at night?"
"Eat crayfish." Song Qingluo said, "I saw the freshness of the vegetable market and bought a few kilograms."
"Okay, I'll help you wash." Lin Banxia said.
In the final picture, Ji Leshui takes the children in the living room, and Lin Banxia helps the kitchen. It is better to say that he is bringing the children, but it is better to accompany the children to watch Peppa Pig. This is Xiao Cave's favorite show. After introducing it to Xiao Hua very generously, Xiao Hua immediately fell into it, and those eyes never left the TV.
Ji Leshui, who was sitting next to him, had the illusion that he had already started a parenting life. Unfortunately, the birth of the two children had nothing to do with him. He was like a kindergarten teacher.
Lin Banxia squatted in the kitchen, holding a toothbrush and carefully brushing the lobster bought by Song Qingluo. After experiencing so many strange things, he fell in love with this kind of life full of fireworks. He raised his eyes, You can see that Song Qingluo is wearing a waistband and is cutting vegetables with her head lowered. She seems to have noticed his gaze and said, "What?"
"It's okay, just take a look." Lin Banxia quickly retracted her eyes, a little embarrassed.
But because of this, he missed Song Qingluo's smile.
Wash the crayfish, put it into the pot and stir-fry, and add special spices, and a large pot of fragrant lobster is out of the oven. The delicious smell lingered in the whole house, making people salivate.
Lin Banxia took a few bottles of wine and Coke from the refrigerator, and the three of them started eating.
Lin Banxia didn't know if Xiaohua could eat human food, so she tried to peel a few crayfish for her. Xiaohua didn't like it very much. , put her and Xiao Cave on the sofa, and let the two little things continue to watch TV with relish.
Ji Leshui ate a delicious dinner, completely forgetting what he had been scared of before, and casually asked about Lin Banxia's hometown.
Lin Banxia thought about it for a while, and picked up what she could say, saying that her aunt had a disease, her uncle and brother had gone crazy for some reason, and the situation of the family was not very good, so she went to bury her parents by herself. , I plan to go back and have a look every once in a while in the future.
Ji Leshui also heard some rumors about Lin Banxia's family. The uncle even called him and threatened to come to find Lin Banxia. At that time, he was afraid that Lin Banxia would feel uncomfortable, so he didn't say anything about it. After hearing the fate of the family, he said angrily: "I know that the bad guy has a revenge. This family is famous for being bad-hearted in the town. It's not pitiful to fall to this point."
Lin Banxia smiled and didn't speak, because with Xiaohua, the pain in his childhood memories has actually faded a lot. Listening to Ji Leshui is like listening to someone else's story.
"That's right." Ji Leshui said, "While you were out, an old man came to look for the boss. I asked him what his name was, but he wouldn't say it. He just said that Song Qingluo knew him."
Lin Banxia asked curiously, "Did you come here?"
"Yeah." Ji Leshui said, "I asked him to call the boss, who knows that he doesn't have the contact information of the boss... I'm surprised, he can know where the boss lives, but there is no boss. Guy's contact information?"
This is a strange thing, Lin Banxia glanced at Song Qingluo.
Song Qingli pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I see."
Lin Banxia said, "Who is it?"
Song Qingluo said, "Someone I knew before." He didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, so Lin Banxia didn't continue to ask.
It was past nine o'clock in the evening, and the three of them were full, and then they broke up. Ji Leshui went back to his house. Before going back, he repeatedly confirmed with Lin Banxia that Xiaohua would not appear in the cabinet again today, right? Lin Banxia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In order not to cast a shadow on Ji Leshui's weak mind, she could only make Xiaohua promise not to visit the door next door at night.
With Lin Banxia's assurance, Ji Leshui left with confidence.
Lin Banxia looked at Xiao Hua's aggrieved expression, and explained that everyone was not afraid of Xiao Hua, or that it was a bit rude to come out of the cabinet. Xiao Hua can play casually at home, but be polite outside - don't hide in the cabinet casually.
Xiaohua nodded and said ok.
Lin Banxia's heart melted when she saw her, he knew that Xiaohua was not used to it now, but it didn't matter, they still had a lot of time and could come slowly.
After Ji Leshui left, Song Qingluo took the initiative to bring up the old man he was talking about. He said that he didn't want to hide from Lin Banxia. Ji Leshui was present at the time, and some things were not easy to say.
Lin Banxia immediately thought that the old man had something to do with heresy, and said nervously, "Could it be that something happened again?"
Song Qingluo said, "Actually... it's not an important matter."
Lin Banxia clearly sensed hesitation in his tone, which was a bit strange. She thought that she had never seen Song Qingluo's weak expression before. Just as she was about to ask again, she heard Song Qingluo's soft, almost insignificant expression. Wen's voice said, "He introduced a seller to me, and the seller later sold my jade pendant, in the shape of an apple."
Lin Banxia was silent for two seconds, barely digesting this cruel fact. He had already discovered that the legendary apple jade pendant did more damage to Song Qingluo than the heresy. When he was speaking, his expression began to become dazed...
Lin Banxia saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, thinking how could this world treat Song Qingluo so cruelly, he was just a poor child! So he rolled up his sleeves angrily and said, "Let's go, let's talk to him! This has already deceived you once, and you dare to come and see if I don't slap him in the face!"
Song Qingluo gave Lin Banxia a faint look: "So you already knew about this, right?"
It was only then that Lin Banxia remembered that when Li Su was mocking Song Qingluo, Song Qingluo seemed to have been absent from the scene.
This time the weak person became Lin Banxia: "Listen to my explanation..."
The author has something to say:
Song Qingluo: When did you know
Lin Banxia: We have to start from a winter ten years ago...
Song Qingluo: ? ? ?
Lin Banxia: Just kidding, at 2:17 a.m. on May 27th
Song Qingluo: ... You still remember quite clearly
Lin Banxia has a guilty conscience
