Chapter 10: Strange Collections
In front of Gu Xiaoxiao and Xu Xinyang is a magnificent building, the tower at the top of the tower is not visible and reaches into the sky, the higher and smaller the layers of high platforms look up, the dazzling tower body is carved with large bricks carved with murals and dark blue glazed bricks arranged alternately, but from the details eroded by the wind and rain of time and the broken bricks and tiles, it is not difficult to see that this is a monument that has been stored for a long time. And this lingering sense of desolation made Xiao Xiao feel more and more that the words of the tree monster just now were not credible.
"There shouldn't be anyone here!" Xiaoxiao expressed his opinion on Xu Xinyang.
"Look around here, from the lake where we just stayed, to the way we ran all the way, only the tower is surrounded by withered branches, and even on the ground, you see, there is not a single grass growing." Xu Xinyang told Gu Xiaoxiao about his discovery, and Xiaoxiao listened to it, and felt that this tower was so weird.
"We ...... Or don't go in, okay? ”
"But, maybe we should go in and have a look, and verify what the tree monster just said, anyway, we don't know where this is, let alone how to get back, right?"
"En......" Xiaoxiao was actually a little hesitant, but since Xu Xinyang said so, and there was such a living big man by her side, there was no need for her to be so afraid!
"Let's go." Xu Xinyang said as he took a step towards the gate of the tower, and as soon as he took a step behind him, he felt that something was struggling on his head.
"Wow!" Xiaoxiao's body stiffened, and he didn't dare to move, "Xu ...... Allow...... Xu Xin...... Ah......h
Xu Xinyang heard the sound and hurriedly stopped and turned around, walked to Xiaoxiao, took off the big magic hat on Xiaoxiao's head, and a bird flew down on Xiaoxiao's shoulder, limp and drooping its wings.
Xiaoxiao reached out and grabbed the bird in front of his eyes, "Xiaofa? ”
Xiaofa gasped and glared at Xiaoxiao, as if to say, "Are you going to suffocate me to death?" ”
Xiao was curious, and then realized that he had obviously fallen into the lake, but when he was rescued, the magic hat on his head was still intact on his head, and his whole body didn't seem to feel wet, "Is there?" Didn't you? Yes or no? Xiao Xiao muttered to himself, and suddenly felt that the memory in his brain was blurry, and he couldn't remember it at all, "Did I have amnesia?" ”
"What is this?" The little whimsical imagination was stopped by Xu Xinyang's loud inquiry.
"Well, it's my baby, Xiaofa." Xiaofa turned his head uncooperatively.
"Huh? Small law? ”
"yes, that's what I call it." Xiaofa shook his head.
"What kind of bird is it?"
"It's a kind of fog bird, it's beautiful, isn't it, it's still my bodyguard!" Xiaoxiao's face is not red and he is not panting loudly, but for this identity that he has never heard of, the small rule is to turn around directly, and his butt is facing Xiaoxiao, which is completely a small filling pit, and it digs a pit.
Xiao Xiao didn't give up, "Look, our relationship is very good." Xiaofa didn't mean to turn around at all.
"You! Are you like him? Xiaoxiao finally broke out, and turned Xiaofa's body around, forcing it to face him, gritting his teeth and gritting his resentment, as if he were referring to a certain stinky angel.
"Well, you two...... What exactly is the relationship? Xu Xin raised his voice to confirm.
"Master-servant relationship!" "Squeak!" Xiaoxiao and Xiaofa spoke at the same time, and at the same time turned their heads to look at Xu Xinyang, and their sharp eyes made Xu Xinyang cough a few times unconsciously.
"Oh...... I see. Xu Xinyang silently regarded Xiaofa as the master of the two in his heart.
"Why are you in my hat?"
Xu Xinyang looked at Xiao Xiao in surprise and communicated with Xiao Fa, "Can it understand what you say?" ”
"Of course, Xiaofa and I have a heart!" Xiao Xiao smiled and explained, but Xiao Fa squeaked twice and then lowered his head and shook his head.
"Oh, I see." Little makes a look of complete understanding.
"It's amazing, you really understand what it means!" Xu Xinyang sighed.
"Yes." A little proud.
"What does it say?"
"It says it doesn't know!"
"......" Xu Xinyang was speechless.
Xiao Xiao wanted to put Xiao Fa in his pocket, but it broke free, Xiao Fa waved his wings and flew back on Xiao Xiao's shoulder.
"You're not lazy?"
"Squeak~"
"Okay, okay."
Xu Xinyang quietly looked at the person and bird in front of him, walked to Xiaoxiao's side, put the big magic hat on Xiaoxiao's head, carefully sorted out the bangs on Xiaoxiao's forehead and the broken hair on both sides of his cheeks, and then did not forget to adjust the angle of the hat.
Xiaoxiao was so confused by this sudden intimacy that she didn't know what to say, her cheeks were red, and she didn't dare to look at the handsome face facing her.
"Alright."
"Yes, thank you...... Thank you. ”
"You're cute with this hat, and this outfit suits you perfectly."
"Really?"
"I'm not going to lie."
Xiaoxiao looked down at the tip of her shoes, her two little hands were messing around, looking like a shy little lady, Xiaofa pouted, turned her head to look at the sky, this girl had never been like this in front of that guy.
"Let's go inside." Xu Xinyang reminded that before the two of them recovered, he took the lead in front and followed Xiao Xiao slowly.
"Ah...... Ah......" The voice of a crow suddenly sounded, Xiao Xiao was startled, and looked closely, I don't know when the crow flew to stop on the pillar in front of the gate, scattered a few black birds, hard and thicker beaks, wings far longer than the tail, and the black eyes, as if they were staring at the little one.
Xiao Xiao felt creepy at this eerie cry, as if it was a roar to welcome the eternal desolation, and it was singing about the decay of eternal calamity.
Is this preventing them from entering?
Xiaoxiao thought about it, but Xu Xinyang held his hand, "Don't be afraid, there is me." ”
"Yes." Little gradually reassured.
The two men walked into the tower, and the inside was surprisingly different from the broken outside. Xiaoxiao and Xu Xinyang walked in an empty corridor, and when they walked in, they felt that this tower was really big.
Not long after walking, Xiaoxiao and Xu Xinyang saw a huge oil painting on the wall of the corridor, the oil painting showed a little girl with long blond hair, smiling with her eyes closed, her eyes were crooked and cute, and she was holding a "goat doll" in her arms, yes, it was a goat-shaped rag doll, referred to as "goat doll".
"It's ......"
"Maybe this little girl used to live here." Because the canvas is full of dust, the frame is surrounded by cobwebs, and the color of the painting is also a little yellowish.
The two of them didn't think much of it, they continued to walk forward, and after a few steps, they came to the end of the corridor, and the two of them took steps towards the light in front of them, and stood in the empty hall in a little surprise, looking up, there was no ceiling above their heads, and they saw a spiral staircase along the wall going up the tower, and countless rooms continued to the top of the tower.
"Wow!" Xiao Xiao was impressed by this scene.
"Come and see!" Xu Xin raised his voice and called Xiaoxiao, and trotted to Xu Xinyang's side, but he didn't expect to see a big pool in the center of this hall, which can be said to be a small lake, and the water in it is actually red and orange, and it is steaming.
"Is this orange juice?" A little curious, Xu Xinyang smiled, "It shouldn't be." ”
Xiaofa didn't know when he flew to the door of the first room, and called Xiaoxiao with a "squeak", signaling Xiaoxiao to go over. Xiao Xiao and Xu Xinyang followed the stairs to the door where Xiao Fa was, and it flew down to Xiao Xiao's shoulder and flapped its wings.
"Do you want me to open the door?" With a little effort, the hand holding the doorknob pushed open the quaint door.
The door squeaked open, and what jumped into my eyes were eyes of various colors, a small "Ah! With a sound, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back and crashed into Xu Xinyang's body.
Xu Xinyang stretched out his hand to support his little body, "Don't look! Little screamed out and covered her eyes.
"Tiny, you see, this is not a human eyeball."
"What?" Xiao opened her fingers slightly, trying to open her eyes to find out.
"These are the prosthetic eyes used to make zuò dolls."
"This, why, the whole room is ......" Xiao Xiao was confused.
"Let's take a look at the next room." Xu Xinyang said, and came to the door of the second room with Gu Xiaoxiao.
"This time you open the door, and I'll just stand behind you."
Xu Xinyang pushed open the door, and this time there were all kinds of butterflies, but they were not complete, and half of the butterfly's wings were displayed in the glass case.
Xiaoxiao and Xu Xinyang walked up the spiral stairs, checking room after room. There are all sorts of grotesques, pipes of different shapes, music boxes of different decorations, bells, picture frames, mirrors, clockwork, birds' nests, stone statues, armor, collars, and even whips, shackles, and handcuffs.
"What the hell is going on?" Little felt more and more weird.
"These are collectibles."
"Collectibles? Who would collect such a weird thing? Most people collect things like stamps. "Tiny can't understand.
"Come and play with me......" The childlike laughter faintly came into the little ears, who was talking? Xiao Xiao looked around, but he didn't see anyone.
"Xu Xinyang, have you heard ......?"
"What?" Xu Xinyang was still checking the room, but Xiao Xiao, who was standing behind him, felt a strange aura surging up from behind.
“…… Come play with me. Xiaoxiao felt that the voice was getting closer and closer to herself, and hurriedly wanted to walk to Xu Xinyang's side, "Xu ......" suddenly stagnated, unable to move, and looked back, the black cat tail dressed up was being dragged in the hand by a little girl, the little girl had long blond hair, holding a "sheep doll" in her arms, and was smiling at Xiaoxiao.
