Ziyu got out of the rickshaw and walked all the way down to a dirty alley, a deep alley, narrow, damp, paved with shiny bluestone bricks, like all Jiangnan rain alleys. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ziyu walked in the alley, and from time to time there were lush flower branches and bamboo leaves growing out of the courtyard walls on both sides. The alley was very deep, and there was no one at this time, except for the crisp sound of her high heels buckled on the bluestone slab as she walked in the alley.

Zi Yu suddenly felt a little hairy in her heart, there was an illusion that she was the only one left in this world, and several times she wanted to rush to the mouth of the alley to see the old sign, to see if the three words "Baili Lane" were written on it, whether she had just read it wrong. However, whenever she had this thought, she comforted herself that maybe she would walk a little longer, and she kept going forward for a long time.

searched one by one, and finally found a dilapidated pharmacy called Asakusado.

The plaque on the door had fallen and was in tatters to one side, and the whole house looked like a haunted house. The tall wooden attic, the rows of windows smeared with old stained glass but now dilapidated, and the slightly open door was like the mouth of a monster.

Zi Yu pushed open the door and stepped in, inside was a high pharmacy counter and a whole wall of Chinese medicine cabinets, at this time Zi Yu seemed to see an old gentleman wearing a robe and a horse coat with long braids, wearing reading glasses to read the prescription, while a few apprentices were pounding medicine.

These sudden images made her shudder, she didn't think about turning her head and ran outside, and when she got outside, she saw the sun peeking out of the clouds, and the brilliant sunlight sprinkled down the alley in front of the door, forming a long band of light, she suddenly smiled a little self-deprecatingly, but it was just an empty house, what was there to be afraid of?

At this moment, an aunt with a laundry basin came out of a fork in the road next to her, and Ziyu stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, where are all the people in this pharmacy?" ”

The eldest aunt ignored her and walked straight forward. Ziyu hurriedly took out a dollar and threw it on the ground, pretending to have just found out: "Hey, who dropped the money at this time?" ”

The aunt hurriedly turned around: "I fell, I fell!" He bent down and picked up the money, and then he glanced at Ziyu: "What do you say about this family?" Business wasn't doing well here, so they moved out. ”

Ziyu hurriedly asked, "Where did you move to?" ”

The aunt shook her head: "I don't know about this, I've been moving for several years." ”

When Ziyu arrived, he gave her another dollar, and the aunt left happily.

She went into the "Asakusado" again, and just now she had not asked anything, and now she could only hope to get any clues in that room. This time, Zi Yu got rid of distractions and concentrated on finding things, but she was not afraid.

There is a back in this house, and there is a small courtyard in the back, and there is a well in the small courtyard, some tools for processing medicinal herbs, and there are two rooms in the courtyard facing the medicine shop in front, which seems to be inhabited. The yard was probably originally used to grow vegetables, but at this moment, grass has grown almost one person high, and a very small road has been flooded by wild grass.

She looked around, found a stick, hit the grass all the way, and then walked over.

The house was not locked, but it was dark and damp inside, and it had rained heavily a while ago, and the wooden pillars and bed boards on the floor had long white hairs. Pushing open the door, a musty smell came to my nose. Azusa searched both rooms, but found nothing. She retreated, and then her eyes fell on the pharmacy in front of her again, which was originally a two-story building, and there was another layer on top of the shop, but it was dark on it, and Ziyu didn't dare to go up for a while.

Now there is no way, since I have come, I have to go up and take a look, maybe I can really find something for her?

Azusa mustered up the courage to walk carefully upstairs step by step, and with each step, the staircase creaked with a tooth-aching sound, as if it would collapse at any moment. Ziyu walked on thin ice, she had never felt that time had been so long. Still, I made it to the upper floor, which was not as dark as it was on the stairs, and light filtered in through the broken stained-glass windows. Zi Yu's gaze wandered over it. The upper floor was a not very high attic, and it was very clean, except for the part that had just come up, and there was a small room separated by wood, which was also unlocked.

Ziyu pushed open the door and walked in, and saw countless dust dancing quietly in the sunlight.

There was a small dresser in this small room, and a small bookshelf, and there were even neatly stacked books on the shelves. It looks like a woman's boudoir.

Zi Yu's heart suddenly moved, that private chapter was taken out by General Xue, so could this place be where Wei Hui once lived?

At this time, she calmed down and carefully flipped through the books on the shelves, most of them were poems, from "Book of Songs", "Chu Ci" to foreign modern poetry, all kinds of things, she had more and more affirmation in her heart, even if this was not the place where Wei Hui once lived, she should be a girl who loves poetry.

Looking at the dresser again, there was only one comb at random, as if the boudoir woman was still here combing her long hair a moment ago.

Ziyu was stunned for a moment, and at the same time saw her own figure reflected in the mirror, which was a very fashionable glass mirror, but after many years, it had already been covered with a thick layer of dust. At this time, although I can see the human figure, it is not real, but it seems to be another. Inexplicably, the Zi rumor gave birth to an indescribable sadness.

She sighed, calmed herself, and pulled open one of the larger drawers on the dresser. This small dresser, with two drawers, opened the larger one, and inside were some fashionable little jewelry boxes, just like ordinary girls' things, but most of them were empty, and some of them still had things inside, but they were all cheap stalls, and I think they took everything with them when they moved.

Ziyu opened another drawer, but there were a few books inside, and she took them out and found that this drawer was not as deep as the one just now. She pulled out the big drawer again and compared it, it was indeed not that deep. Suddenly she felt a stir in her heart, and she reached out and tapped on the drawer, and the floor made a sound of emptiness—this drawer had a compartment.

Ziyu picked up the comb on the dresser, carefully pried it, and pried open a piece of wood on it, and there was indeed a layer underneath, which turned out to be a diary. (To be continued.) )
