Chapter 68: Memories
At this moment, the rain has stopped, and the dark clouds are slowly fading, revealing the sun hidden behind.
Under the sunset, Yun Xiwen's whole person was bathed in the golden sunlight, looking up at the building in front of him slightly, his eyes were complicated and incomprehensible, as if he had fallen into another time and space that others could not touch through everything in front of him.
Jing Chuan suddenly felt that Yun Xiwen in front of him was a little unreal, and the two stood together, but they seemed to be separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, which made Jing Chuan fall into deep unease.
Jing Chuan grabbed Yun Xiwen's arm suddenly, Yun Xiwen was startled, as if he was pulled back to reality in an instant, and looked at Jing Chuan with a little confusion in his eyes.
"Do you just want to come here?" Jing Chuan didn't let go, his eyes looked at Yun Xiwen for a moment and asked.
Hearing this, Yun Xiwen turned back to look at the castle in front of him, and said with obvious memories on his face: "Well, this is it, I didn't expect it to be desolate like this." There was regret or sigh in his voice.
"Do you want to go in?" Jing Chuan said with a sigh of relief when he saw that Yun Xiwen had finally returned to normal.
"Now that they're all here, let's go in and have a look." Yun Xiwen said casually, only she knew how complicated her heart was at the moment.
The two walked to the gate, the rusty gate was not locked, and the intricate patterns on the gate were still faintly visible, which showed that the owner of the original place should have been very particular.
Jingchuan pushed the gate open with force, and the rusty iron door made a screeching sound, bringing up dust from the ground.
Yun Xiwen took the lead and walked in, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, Yun Xiwen didn't mind, and naturally stepped on the weeds to pass, and from time to time used his hands to remove the weeds that grew too tall.
But Jing Chuan, who had a habit of cleanliness behind him, was not so calm, frowning since he entered the courtyard, if it weren't for Yun Xiwen at this moment making him too strange, maybe he might choose to wait for her outside.
After walking for a while, Yun Xiwen found that Jing Chuan hadn't caught up yet, so he stopped and looked back, just to see Jing Chuan entangled in front of the weeds that needed to be removed by hand, frowning, with a look of disgust.
Seeing this, Yun Xiwen couldn't help but chuckle, took a few steps back and picked up the grass, and said in a mocking voice: "Young master, please!" ”
Jing Chuan coughed awkwardly and said, "I just wanted to do it." Although he said this, he quickly crossed the road opened by Yun Xiwen's hand, and the speed under his feet increased significantly, and his back was slightly embarrassed.
Yun Xiwen looked at Jing Chuan's back, and his originally gloomy mood gradually cleared up, and he continued to walk forward with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
The two of them finally stood in front of the door of the house, the dark red door tightly closed, and the door was covered with a thick layer of dust.
Yun Xiwen pushed open the door with both hands, and there was still a creaking sound, and some dust fell on the door frame from time to time.
Yun Xiwen didn't rush in, but stood at the door, looking inside with the meager light, the scene inside the house was better than the outside, although it was also dusty, but it was very neat.
"Don't you go in?" Jing Chuan asked suspiciously, not knowing why Yun Xiwen suddenly stopped and didn't leave.
"Is there anything you've had that you'll never forget?" Yun Xiwen replied to the question.
Jing Chuan was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't speak for a while.
Yun Xiwen didn't care much, as if he wasn't really waiting for Jingchuan's answer, and said to himself: "This is my place."
"Have you lived here?" Jing Chuan asked in accordance with normal thinking.
Yun Xiwen chuckled when he heard this, turned his head to look at Jing Chuan, and said in a fluttering voice: "I survived here." With that, he walked in.
Jing Chuan recalled Yun Xiwen's words, and his expression gradually became serious.
The interior decoration and furniture of the house are all in European style, and you can vaguely see the glory of the past.
"Survive? Has someone threatened your life? Jing Chuan asked in a cold voice.
Yun Xiwen looked at every piece of home decoration as if he was visiting a museum, and Jing Chuan stood in the center of the hall, his eyes following the moving figure of Yun Xiwen.
"A long time ago, there was a group of kids living together in a fancy house, and there were a lot of things they hadn't even seen before, and they had a great time in the first week, with fun toys, delicious food, and cute playmates every day." Yun Xiwen told the beautiful picture as he walked.
"And then?" Jing Chuan asked softly, the story behind the intuition is the point.
A week later, when everyone had become accustomed to this kind of life, suddenly one day someone told them that if they wanted to have this life forever, they had to accept the following tests. Human nature, if you have never gotten it, you will not expect it, but if you have it and already know its beauty, no one will be willing to let it go easily. Yun Xiwen stopped in front of a fireplace, his gaze fixed there.
"After that, everything that could communicate with the outside world was banned, it became a complete quarantine area, food and drinking water were put in a fixed room on the first day, and everyone was told that for the next few days it was all their supplies, and if they finished eating and drinking, there would be nothing." Yun Xiwen's voice became a little hollow.
Jing Chuan quietly looked at her back, did not interject, just listened quietly.
"Children, optimistic by nature, no one cares about that person at first, although they can't go out, but the children are not lacking in fun together, everyone laughs and plays, eats when they are hungry, sleeps when they are sleepy, wakes up and plays, and the cycle repeats. A week passed, the children's patience was limited, and everyone gradually got tired of this kind of life, and wanted to go out, but found that it was completely impossible, and some people were already showing irritability. ”
"And then, the food is running out?" Jingchuan had fully entered the environment described by Yun Xiwen, as if the children who were trapped here appeared in front of him, and slowly felt their irritability and panic.
"That's right. The older children were the first to notice the problem, as the food that had appeared to be abundant had been gradually exposed, and the water they had wasted haphazardly was reduced to a few small buckets. Irritability, restlessness, hunger, when all the negative emotions explode at the same time, the scene is ......"
There is no need for Yun Xiwen to say, Jing Chuan can already imagine how those children will survive in this hell that is not hell.
"I remember a kid who got into this fireplace in a daze." Yun Xiwen said that she wanted to reach out and touch the fireplace, but Jing Chuan grabbed her outstretched hand and pulled it back suddenly, and Yun Xiwen crashed into an embrace with a cool mint aroma.
