Chapter 156: No Trace to be Found
Although it was a rough wooden box with six sides, eight or nine pieces of wood were removed from Jun Chaojiu's hands, with different shapes, and none of them were decent planks. I didn't expect this unlocked box to be opened like this. He poured out a small spinning top inside, and Jun Aoyan stepped forward. With some surprise, she picked up the tip of the thing, twisted it lightly, and it spun deftly.
"And the voice!"
Qi Huan was a little surprised. Indeed, from the small spinning metal top, there was a "buzz-buzz-" sound. The sound is not loud, but it is not monotonous, it is a small rhythmic sound, which is quite pleasant to listen to for a long time. As it spins at a slower speed, the sound becomes deeper and thinner, and the cycle becomes longer and finally stops completely, naturally.
"Wow, that's interesting." Qi Huan thought it was interesting, so he took it in his hand and pondered.
Jun Chaojiu poured another glass of wine and said slowly: "That toy was exchanged from a Hu merchant. I knew at a glance that it wasn't the iron of my hometown, but I didn't expect to meet it in the Nine Heavens Kingdom. This iron is hard and tough, and can penetrate into stone for three points. ”
Although this is indeed a fun thing, Liu Shenghan's interest does not seem to be on the little spinning top. She looked at the pieces of wood and pieces of wood in front of Jun Chaojiu, pointed at them and asked:
"...... this box?"
"Ah, it's a special craft, I learned it from local craftsmen, but they say it's from our homeland...... It's not so much a box as a lock, which can only be opened and closed in a specific order, otherwise it's a pile of broken building blocks. But once it is fixed together, no matter how fragile the rotten wood is, it will become unbreakable and airtight. I deliberately chose a piece of wood that was not very good, pondered for a long time, and added some other tricks before carving it. It's kind of a toy, right? This thing, too, will be taken by Aoyan and taken as a souvenir. ”
After the meal, the three of them tacitly followed the guards to the residence first, leaving Jun Aoyan to say a few more words to his father. I don't know how long it will take to say goodbye. Fortunately, the current situation in Wuguo is stable, and it also has enough strength to deal with external dangers, which is also the reason why Jun Aoyan is willing to travel away from Jun Chaos. Besides, such a large capital city would not run away on long legs, so she knew that she would be able to find her father when she returned here.
Bai Ya knew this very well. He was happy for Jun Aoyan, and he couldn't help but think of the reason why he came here. Will Bai Sha be like Jun Chaojiu, once in a corner of the vast land of the Nine Heavens, just waiting for him to meet by chance?
Probably touched by this thought, he rummaged for a long time before going to bed and took out the candle of the incense god.
Speaking of which, Jun Aoyan has never relied on this incense candle to dream of Jun Chao's wine. He's tried and tested. There is a very bad association - albeit unprovoked, but ......
Maybe it's the living who can't dream of it? Only the dead can dream?
He hadn't ever thought of it before, but now it was quiet, and the slightest sound couldn't pass through his head. He didn't say a word, clenched his fists slightly, and forced himself to stop thinking about it. That's it, even if he really dies, just like Ge Shenguo's mission, death is to see the corpse. This is the task that Bai Ya gave himself.
Don't think about it, don't think about it, go to sleep. He said to himself. He didn't want to dream of inexplicable bloody scenes because of this bedtime tattered mind. Not at all.
"What do you think?"
This time, Bai Ya sat on the beach.
This should have been expected, but it was also a bit of a surprise, as the scene was something he had never been to before. However, it may also be based on his experience that his mind made up such a place. This is a golden sand, like the beautiful tail of the old shark, the sand is shining, and it is very delicate, and there is no gravel, shells or anything else.
He sat in the dry part of the beach, the water touching the tips of his unshoeed toes every time. And Bai Sha stood in front of him, treading in the water, occasionally swept by the warm sea water over his ankles.
His father didn't look back, just put his hands behind his back and looked into the distance. In the distance there were cliffs, and the wreck of a huge, shipwreck, much like the one they had encountered when they landed on the island.
"Didn't think about anything."
"You kid still want to lie to me." Bai Sha turned his face slightly, but he didn't turn to the angle where he could just see his face, "You can't hide anything from your father." ”
"No...... It's just not necessary to say it. It's all trifles. ”
"A little thing?" Bai Sha asked rhetorically, "You pulled out the Demon Sealing Blade, is this a trivial matter?" ”
"If you don't say it, I'll forget." He didn't know why his father in his dream reminded him, "What will happen? Succeed the Frost Moon Monarch and become the Six Realms of Impermanence? ”
"You know it yourself, or you wouldn't have put it back together right away - you don't want to die yet."
"Of course, at least not yet. I...... Haven't found you yet. ”
"Stinky boy, don't use me as a cover."
"I didn't. I didn't tell anyone about it, and it seems like Frost Moon didn't find out. ”
"Maybe you found it? He's the current scabbard of the Demon Sealing Blade, and he'll always know where that thing is. Eighty percent of it depends on your lack of meaning, and you may not be able to let you go. "Worry-free love book network
"It doesn't matter - I don't want to tell them that Qi Huan's mouth is like a cannon battle, and Ao Yan can't say anything, not to mention that she wasn't with us at all. As for Liu Shenghan, if it weren't for her acquaintance with Frost Moon Jun, I think it would be worth talking about. It's just that they seem to have a very close relationship, and I know that it is impossible to say. Whether she tells Frost Moon Jun or not, let her know that it's not a good thing after all. ”
"My stupid son is very sober."
The sea breeze blows the hem of the white sand, which is fluttering. Bai Ya felt that his father's clothes looked like a dragon silk. Was he the same in his previous dream? He doesn't remember. After all, it's just a dream, and irrelevant information is always patched together.
"I have to be sober...... Must be awake all the time. ”
"You're tired. Even if you take a break once in a while, there's nothing wrong with it, and no one blames you. ”
"I can't rest."
“……”
His father's sigh melted into the wind, and Bai Ya wasn't sure if he had heard it wrong. He wanted to know why, in this dream, his father always turned his back to him, never turned around, and never looked back. He knew that as long as he stood up and walked into the water, he would be able to see his familiar face in front of him. It wasn't like he hadn't seen it in his previous dreams. But Bai Ya didn't want to stand up at this time, he didn't know why—maybe he didn't want to in his dream. Because it's troublesome, because the trouser legs will get wet, because it's not necessary...... Who knows because of what.
"You're actually blaming yourself." His father suddenly said, "It's just that you didn't even notice it yourself." For example, you haven't let go of the pony yet. You see the tragedy of his death, even though it has nothing to do with you. ”
"Hmm." Bai Ya easily admitted, "I wasn't actually so sad at the time, it's better to say that the shock is greater than the sadness." But when I learned that he left his hometown for the sake of the Queen Mother, I felt ...... How to say it, the Queen Mother really means a lot to him. ”
"Nonsense, he didn't have a choice. Many men feel that they have to have children, and their wives are replaced when they die. ”
"That's true. But few people think that the children they have never seen are gone, and the wife is the most important thing. ”
"yes." Bai Sha shrugged, "Many people still hold their children every day and say that their lives are miserable, saying that the children are pitiful, and they immediately continue the strings, and they are very moved." It's called for the children. It's not a son, but if it's a daughter, it's a very hard life. Alas, in fact, your mother and I hoped that you were a girl......"
Even in a dream, Bai Ya's temples still jumped uncontrollably.
"You said it 10,000 times......"
"Where? It's only one hundred and eighty times. Bai Sha stroked his beard, "My daughter must be like your mother, she is good-looking and easy to bring, and she eats less." I'm afraid that giving birth to a son is more difficult to discipline than Lao Tzu. When I was a kid, I was able to off your grandfather every time. But—you stinky boy is still a little bit savvy, follow Mom, hum...... It's just eating too much. ”
“…… An old thing. ”
"What did you say?"
His father seemed to be going back to beat him, and he subconsciously lowered his face and covered his head like a child. After a pause and no reaction, Bai Ya removed his hands and found that his father still had his back to him, facing the sea.
"You're really cruel to Miss Quan. I thought you hung your face every day, just like your mother, and you didn't inherit your father's humor at all, and no girl liked it in this life. ”
"Where did it come from? Are you so stupid that you don't know what she means? Bai Ya picked up a handful of sand and let go of his hands slightly, feeling them slowly slip through his fingers, "She's too young to understand anything." The love of the alien race, I'm afraid it won't end well. Just look at Garuda and Kalingbinga...... If parents do not handle well, they let their children bear the burden, which will naturally lead to big mistakes. ”
Hearing Bai Ya's words, the father suddenly stopped talking. He didn't respond, but his body froze. Bai Ya knew that he had said the wrong thing, which embarrassed his father. But the words were not wrong, of course he was not going to apologize, but ......
"I didn't say anything about you." He thought for a moment, then shoved his hand into the warm sand, "You guys...... It's all good. It's not easy. But when will I find you? Aoyan and his father have probably released their previous suspicions, but I haven't even found a single hair of yours. Whether it's dead or alive, the old thing doesn't know for sure. ”
Bai Sha laughed softly.
"Your son is in your heart."
"Don't clean up these vains."
Bai Ya complained, and his father stopped talking. The old fellow straightened his back and walked forward suddenly. Ahead is the endless blue water, but the white sand does not hesitate. It wasn't until the sea water didn't pass his waist that Bai Ya was a little anxious.
"Where are you going?"
The white sand paused for a moment and continued to move forward, allowing the sea to continue to rise. Bai Ya was in a hurry, he stood up, and at some point his feet fell into the delicate sand, and he couldn't pull it out. He struggled to catch up, but he couldn't move an inch. Bai Ya felt that the water was as difficult to breathe as if it had entered his throat, not his father. Seeing that the sea water was drowning his father's gray hair, he stretched out his "arm" and waved. In the light of day, the sharp iron arm shone brightly.
Bai Ya suddenly woke up from his dream.
