Walking alone on the street, looking for the familiar temperature in my memory in confusion. The wind blew and the smell of blood was thick, and Amberin fell into a deserted village.

Unfamiliar village, white walls and black tiles, long ancient alleys, I heard someone crying in the distance, looking for the sound, a vague figure appeared, I couldn't see the person clearly, but she wanted to try to get closer.

He seemed to wait for her intentionally, then turned and walked forward, faster and faster, and just the moment he walked into the chaos, he stopped and beckoned to her.

"You...... Who is it?"

There was no answer.

He leaned down and patted her on the head, and the world became unusually quiet, and she couldn't understand why he stopped talking. Amberin watched him open a door that had been sealed for a long time, and the expression on her face was cold and complicated.

The next second, he slowly spit out: "I found you." ”

The light and shadow changed, and she had never seen him.

In a trance, she suddenly felt a hint of strangeness, turned around, and a sharp dagger stabbed straight from behind, the blade projected golden sunlight, she panicked, didn't dare to think about anything, didn't dare to look at anything.

The pain did not hit as expected, she opened her eyes slightly, candlelight, incense sticks, white strips of cloth, black and white auditorium, why did the people here have such sad expressions?

It's Mom and Dad! Why are they here?

It was uncomfortably quiet, and she made her way through the crowd to her mother, looking for some shelter, but her actions didn't seem to attract anyone's attention, not even her parents.

She suddenly realized something, and looked up at the hall directly above the white wall, where a black picture frame was clustered with flowers, and her heart began to beat faster, knock......

The man who stood in the depths of the alley and beckoned to her.

He's dead? Who the hell is he?

It's good not to be yourself. She breathed a sigh of relief, and then a wave of pathos welled up in her heart.

The tip of Amberin's nose once again touched the residual smell of blood, which was a bad feeling, and she kept trying to break free, to break free from the dream, yes, she realized that it was a dream, but there was no escape.

She kept breaking in and out of that space, and even dreamed of being awakened.

After some time, Amberine finally opened her eyes, and she lay on the bed, staring at the chandelier on the ceiling, and the dream was terrifyingly real.

Amberin will be back at the secret base tonight, and she doesn't know when the next time she will wake up at home.

She was about to tell her parents the story before her memories faded, and she walked out the door quickly.

The room was empty.

Where did Ann and Mom go? They should still be at home, and they were going to be on a plane close to evening today, and it was still 10 a.m.

So there's no reason for them to leave, unless there's something they have to go, and they should say hello in advance. Amberine began to fidget, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, there must be no accident with her parents, right?

Amberine didn't know when they left, but it was possible that they hadn't returned all night at any time since they had fallen asleep last night? Should they call the police? Amberine wandered around the house over and over again, as if her parents would be in the room the next time she opened the door.

What can't I know? Could it have something to do with the sudden return to China? Who is the man in the dream? What is he looking for me for? Is his funeral because of the dagger?

Amberine needed an answer, and she became more and more uneasy, and she began to feel that her dreams were more like they were real, and she could only turn to one person for help now, so she called her sister.

"Sister, why are you calling me now?"

"My parents weren't home. Do you know where they went?"

"I don't know, I didn't say it yesterday. ”

"Did you talk about it at the dinner table yesterday?"

"No, oh, by the way, there's a little strange thing, I asked them why they suddenly came back to China, and Dad Ann said I don't have to know yet. ”

"You don't have to know?

"I forgot the original words, that's what it meant anyway. ”

Amberin's mood was even more complicated, what did this mean exactly?

"Eh, wait, there's one more thing......"

Amberine put her phone back to her ear, and the voice on the other end was excited: "I know what your dad do......es!

The sound of the key turning came from the lock, and Amberine pressed her phone to her chest alertly, intently recognizing the movement outside. Mom and Dad's conversation became clearer.

"I'm not going to tell you yet, they're back. Amberine hurriedly hung up the phone and hid her phone in her bag without thinking.

Before Amber could finish speaking, she heard a busy sound on the phone that only left "doodoo", "No politeness!" She turned off the screen angrily: "This is what you don't want to hear, don't blame me for not telling you, hum." ”

Before the words fell, she only felt her heart beating violently, could it be that her sister was in some trouble?

"Mom and Dad, where have you been?!" Amberine rushed out of the room, finally relieved to see them standing in front of her.

"Xiao Lin woke up so early, didn't she not be able to afford it if she didn't scream before?" An's mother asked Amberin to bring some newspapers and lighters, and stepped over from them after lighting them.

Amberine was very puzzled, she felt that her parents' behavior was confused and suspicious, and she had to interrogate her with her hands on her hips.

Father An was ready to reveal everything: "We came back suddenly this time because the father of your Uncle Ouyang's friend died three days ago. ”

An's mother slowly swept the ashes that had just been extinguished into the dustpan, and took off the black armband on her arm while closing the door: "If you don't wake up before we come back, my father and I don't plan to tell you, after all, it's better for children not to get involved in this kind of thing." ”

Did my parents really go to the funeral? Amberine was shocked: "Have I ever seen someone who died?"

An's mother couldn't be sure, she said that there was a high probability that she hadn't seen it, even Uncle Ouyang's friend An Beilin hadn't seen it. The relationship between the two families starts from the previous generation, and before the liberation, Amberin's grandfather and him were the most like-minded comrades-in-arms.

"Your Aunt Wen Rui only met your uncle through them, so if you want to call him, you have to call him Grandpa Qian. Father Ann quickly helped Ann Belin clarify the relationship between the characters.

"So today, grandparents, uncles and aunts also went?"

"Yes, I went, Grandpa Qian used to be a witness to the marriage between me and your father, so we had to come back and take a look at everything, but it's a pity that Grandpa Qian just retired and left, and I don't know what the reason is. An's mother said with her eyes red, and An's father patted his wife's shoulder with a gloomy look.

Amberine's heart was mixed, this was the first time she had heard of death, as if she had witnessed it with her own eyes, and she suddenly remembered that dream, could it?

"Does Grandpa Qian have any pictures? I want to see them. "Amberin
