Qiuqiu saw that Xu Wen moved, so he let go of his mouth and stopped biting the corner of his pants.

It walked out of the door, Xu Wen followed it, and when it reached the door, it was about to reach out and push it, when it saw the ball head continue to walk forward without looking back, and its body disappeared through an invisible film.

Xu Wen was stunned for a moment, and continued to move forward tentatively, and sure enough, after a period of invisible blockage, his body passed through and came to a strange space.

It's not entirely right to say that it is strange, and the breath that is pervasive and wrapped around tells him that this is still a Xu house.

But the space in front of him is indeed unfamiliar to him, and he has never been here.

It's very dark, with windows on the sides, dilapidated stained windows. The sunlight shines through the wooden windows and on the wooden floors, casting strange and beautiful light patterns, and dust hangs in the light, old and quiet.

The black figure of the ball walked on the wooden floor, the light streaks brushing over its black fur, and it headed straight for a corner in front of it.

Xu Wen followed behind, and when he passed by the window, he subconsciously looked to the side.

The chaotic green and gray came into view, it was a dilapidated and withered garden, the scene was somewhat familiar, Xu Wen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized where this was.

This is the second floor of the Four Seasons Hall.

The Four Seasons Hall does have two floors, and Xu Wen found it when he first came. But the wooden ladder up the stairs was broken and blocked a lot of things, so he never came up.

Now it seems that all the things on the second floor may have been moved to the main hall downstairs, which is empty, although the doors and windows are seriously damaged, but the overall structure is still relatively intact. I just don't know what the internal situation is like, whether the beams and columns have been damaged.

For a building of this level to be fully restored, it is necessary to take it apart like furniture, inspect and repair the parts inside, and then assemble it.

This is a big project, he can't do it alone, he still has to find time to bring the people from the class to take a look at the situation.

For a short period of time, he looked at it and thought about it, these things seemed to have been integrated into his blood and bones, and they were already instinctive.

Qiuqiu walked into a room and turned his head at the door and meowed softly to Xu Wen.

Xu Wen came back to his senses and quickly followed.

The windows of the room were half-open and half-closed, and the light was dim. The furniture here was also emptied, except for a circle chair by the window, on which sat a man with his head tilted and looking out the window.

The light came in in a limited way, and fell on his hair and hands, which were almost entirely white, and the skin on his hands was pale and dull, with faint markings on them.

An old man?

Xu Zhai has anyone else besides him and Jing Cheng?

Xu Wen walked over cautiously, and the man obviously heard the footsteps, but he didn't look back.

Xu Wen walked to his side and walked around, only then did he see his face clearly.

In fact, he had some premonitions in his heart before this, but when he actually saw it, he was still taken aback.

Sure enough, it's Jing Cheng!

The last time we met, Jing Cheng was only a little old, but at this time, he was already old and had completely become an old man!

Jing Cheng didn't move, staring outside, Xu Wen followed his gaze, and only saw a ruined wall and a creeper on it that grew so crazy that it was almost impossible to see the wall, and nothing else.

He withdrew his gaze and stared at Jing Cheng for a while.

In addition to his hands, he also had large age spots on his face, layered with undulating wrinkles like ravines, and he looked nearly 100 years old.

The only thing that hasn't changed is that his eyes, as clear and indifferent as ever, don't seem to care what happened to him.

"It's ...... What's going on?" After a while, Xu Wen asked, only to find that his voice was tight, and his voice was a little harsh.

"Nothing. Jing Cheng said.

"Did I do something wrong?" Xu Wen asked stubbornly, realizing something.

"Nope. Jing Cheng said.

"No way. Xu Zhai also underwent a change before. It's always been like this, how could something suddenly happen? The only thing that has changed here is me. This must have something to do with me!" Xu Wen affirmed.

"No change?" Jing Cheng finally turned around and glanced at him with a smile.

Xu Wen actually knew that he was wrong after speaking.

How could Xu Zhai not have changed. In the beginning, it was magnificent and exquisite, gathering hundreds of crafts, and Zhong Lingyu was beautiful.

And now it is withered and dilapidated, and it feels like if it is not repaired, and it will not be long before it will become a ruin.

Isn't that just change?

This was something that happened before Xu Wen came, and it didn't have much to do with him.

But anyway, the recent upheaval in Xu Zhai including Jing Cheng is also obvious, as he just said, the only variable that appears here is him, and he doesn't believe it if this change has nothing to do with him.

Xu Wen stared at Jing Cheng for a long time, then turned around and walked out the door, walked through the corridor, and walked to the side of the stairs.

The staircase was still blocked, mainly tiles and other debris, and Xu Wen silently cleaned all those things, revealing some broken and corroded wooden ladders underneath.

He carefully stepped on it and climbed down, and Qiuqiu didn't know when it reappeared, and followed him lightly.

Xu Wen walked to the back of the Four Seasons Hall to see the plantains and bamboo.

Large leaves withered, looking a little shocking. But if you look closely, you will see that new leaves have sprouted under the withered leaves, and they are as green as a pool of water, bright and pure.

Xu Wen patted the trunk of the tree and turned around and went to the backyard pond.

He looked around as he went, and saw many details that he hadn't noticed before.

There are such scenes of "saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new" in many places, which makes the Xu Mansion in front of him look a little bleak, but it is also because of these new things that turn this bleakness into hope, far from being as miserable as it seems at first.

When Qiuqiu got here, he came alive again, and trotted to the side of the pond to find his one-sided friend, Little Turtle.

Xu asked what he was thinking, and slowly followed it.

"Meow. Qiuqiu crouched beside the pond, cried softly, and sat quietly.

The turtle, which had already seen it, lay on its stomach next to the pond, not moving.

In the past, in order to guard against the ball, it would take its limbs back into its shell at the speed of light and pretend to be dead, but after a while, it would not notice the movement of the ball, and would carefully burrow its head out of the shell to explore the surrounding situation.

Sometimes the ball will catch the opportunity and quickly slap its head with its claws, and sometimes it will make a splash and the turtle will retract its head.

The two little animals are intriguing here all day long, which is very interesting.

But now, the tortoise's limbs and head are all sticking out of its shell, and it is spread flat on the wet ground, not moving.

But Qiuqiu just crouched next to it, quietly watching it, and didn't move his paws again.

Xu Wen squatted down, touched Qiuqiu's little head, and looked at the little turtle.

There were a few turtle eggs next to it, and one of them had a slightly cracked shell, and there was a movement inside, as if a cub was about to come out.

Cats are actually very sensitive to things that are moving, but Qiuqiu just looked at the one in front of him, as if he was completely aware of something else.

Xu Wen was like it, staring at the life in front of him that seemed to be passing away at any time.

Then, between the lightning and the flint, he knew that Xu Zhai and Jing Cheng would become like this.
