Chapter 140: Searching for the Twenty-Fifth Man (Part II)

Tang Xuan clenched his fists lightly, he knew that the main dish was on the table.

The old lady continued: "Bai Xue's brother has been wandering outside before, otherwise I would have adopted him back with me. I can see that Bai Xue's brother loves Bai Xue very much, he should have been a good boy, but he ......"

The old lady stopped when she said this.

She looked at Bai Xue, then sighed.

Tang Xuan asked, "Just what?" ”

The old lady's eyes showed a hint of fear: "The people who disappeared during this time should all be related to that child." ”

The old lady's cloudy eyes suddenly filled with emotion, and she began to rub the armrests of her chair restlessly, and looked left and right at the place where no one was, faintly showing signs of illness.

Xiao Baixue nervously grabbed the old lady's hand.

Tang Xuan let his voice become low, and he softly reassured: "Don't panic, we are here, he won't dare to come over." ”

[Women's Friends] launches!

[Heroic Armament] is launched!

You've got a [Worn-out Music Box]!

[Worn Music Box]: There is always a melody that will take you back to the unforgettable years of the past as long as the prelude is played (Note: It records an improvisation that is enough to rank in the palace. Although its author is unknown, and has never been successfully performed since).

Tang Xuan quietly twisted the clockwork of the music box.

A melodious sound with a jazz twist wafted out of the music box, a genre that was so popular a few decades ago that all dance halls were preferred.

Tang Xuan couldn't hear how good this music was, but the old lady changed a lot after hearing this music.

The panic and hesitation in her eyes quickly faded, and she turned to a little surprise, and in the surprise there was a trace of sweetness of memories.

"Where did you find this tune?"

The old lady's body leaned forward slightly, her expression was very surprised, and she completely forgot the negative emotions just now.

Tang Xuan smiled: "I got it by chance." ”

"It's this tune, yes, it's this tune." The old lady read it over and over again in her mouth, she looked at the music box in Tang Xuan's hand as if it were a treasure and said, "I spent the rest of my life looking for this song, but I never found it, I thought it would be my eternal regret, but I didn't expect to hear it again when I crossed the ghost gate with half a foot." ”

Xiao Baixue wiped her tears: "What kind of song is this?" ”

"This is the tune I danced when I first met him."

The old lady's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid that if she spoke loudly, she would disturb the music box.

"It was my seventeenth birthday party, and I fell in love with him at first sight, and we danced with this song under the bright moonlight, which was the beginning of our love."

The old lady closed her eyes gently, nodded her head to the ups and downs of the music, and her mind went back to a long, long time ago, and saw her longing face again.

Ah Liang, how nice it would be if you were still here......

As soon as the song was played, the old lady was already in tears.

She choked up, "Thank you." ”

"Grandma doesn't cry."

Xiao Baixue sensibly handed over the tissue.

Tang Xuan stepped forward and put the music box on the coffee table in the old lady's hand, he bowed down and said, "Since this piece is related to you, then I will give you this tune." ”

The old lady was so moved that she stretched out her hand to hide her face.

Tang Xuan waited until she calmed down a little and asked, "Can you tell us about Brother Bai Xue again?" ”

Xiao Baixue silently picked up the music box and twisted it a few times.

Melodious music once again filled the room.

The old lady wiped away her tears with a tissue, and she said in a stable mood: "After listening to this song, I suddenly have the energy to talk with you for a while." ”

Xiao Baixue and her brother both have amnesia.

They don't remember who they used to be, they don't remember what they did, and from the moment they can remember, they have been in the First Welfare Home of the Imperial Palace.

This may be the price of their early recovery.

Xiao Baixue's brother was also in the welfare home at first, but because of his ugly appearance, he was always bullied by other children in the welfare home, and then left the welfare home alone and was never found by the staff of the welfare home.

The staff of the welfare home thought that he was missing, but in fact, he never stayed away from Xiao Baixue, but awakened his abilities, to be precise, and recovered a little. He has been in the welfare home, but no one can see him except Xiao Baixue.

The children who bullied him at the beginning 'disappeared' one after another, and once became the most important criminal case of the Imperial Palace City Police Department, but because there were no clues, they had to be closed in the end.

Later, the old lady adopted Xiao Baixue, and Xiao Baixue's brother followed Xiao Baixue to the Shen family.

It was a thunderstorm night.

The old lady met Xiao Baixue's brother for the first time.

He was covered in darkness, with only the silhouette of a human figure left, and he had come to take Xiao Baixue away.

"We don't belong here."

The old lady remembered him saying this.

His voice was so small that it could barely reach the old lady's ears through the continuous sound of rain, so the old lady was not sure if what she heard was the original words of Little Snow White.

Behind him stood many puppet-like figures.

The figures were half black and half white, and most of them were short, like the missing children. Their faces were flat, with no facial features and no expression, and they stood quietly like puppets in the dark night, standing in the cold rain, letting the rain trickle down their bodies, exuding silent terror.

The old lady screamed in fright.

"Come with me, sister."

Xiao Baixue's brother only has Xiao Baixue in his eyes.

The old lady cried out in her loudest voice, but no one could hear her.

"You don't want to, is it because of her?"

Xiao Baixue's brother looked at the old lady for the first time.

The old lady fell into an ice cave, she couldn't see his face clearly, but she could feel a pair of indifferent eyes staring at her, there was no light in those eyes, as if the next moment would make a cold verdict to take her life.

Xiao Baixue stood in front of the old lady: "Don't!" ”

The old lady felt that gaze leave her.

She was breathing again.

"We don't belong here."

Xiao Baixue's brother repeated.

Xiao Baixue said persistently: "I don't want you to care!" ”

"I'm your brother."

Only then did the old lady know that Xiao Baixue had an older brother.

"I have my own life."

Xiao Baixue roared angrily, she was not afraid of her brother at all, she pointed to her brother's face and said word by word: "I don't want to see you again, stay away from me!" ”

"I will silently guard you."

Step by step, her brother stepped back.

Finally disappeared into the rain and never came again.

After this incident, the old lady's worldview was a little shaken. She didn't tell anyone else about it, because she felt that whoever she told would put them in danger. And she is old, she has few years to live, and she doesn't want to or have the energy to care about such a thing.
