After lunch, Fr. Ann suggested that everyone take a nap. Yu Siqi, who was not sleepy, looked at the yawning crowd, and instantly felt that his tense nerves should be released a little, so he nodded.

Lying on the small bed that Ah Zhen prepared for herself, smelling the pillow with a faint fragrance of flowers, Yu Siqi soon fell into a strange sleep.

In the dream, he stood in a very high place, and the buildings everywhere were hidden behind the clouds, making it impossible to identify. After a few steps back and forth, he felt that his surroundings were beginning to crumble at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he ran as hard as he could, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not escape the end of falling into the abyss.

"Ahh

"I haven't seen anyone who can roll out of bed while sleeping," Shi Yizhe helped Yu Siqi, who fell to the ground, back to the bed and said, "I have to say that you do have a few brushes." ”

"It's... Thank you..."Yu Siqi, who woke up, felt the pain in his back, gritting his teeth to keep himself from looking weak.

"Did something happen?" Xie Baozhen, who was wearing a nurse's uniform, ran into the house in a little panic and asked.

"No, it's fine, it's just a nightmare." Yu Siqi looked at the visitor embarrassedly, and his eyes were a little evasive.

"Oh, that's fine... I was just over there changing someone's dressing, and that guy's wound is cracking again, and the external application is a little insufficient, Ah Zhe. Xie Baozhen winked mischievously and turned to leave.

"I see, I'm going to buy it." Shi Yizhe patted Yu Siqi's shoulder and said, "If you don't want to continue sleeping, you can go to the living room to watch TV for a while." ”

"No need, since you can't sleep, then I'm too embarrassed to pretend to be tired." While wearing his coat, Father An walked up to Yu Siqi and said, "It's the first time I slept in someone else's house, it's understandable, right? ”

"I... Forget it..."Yu Siqi sat on the edge of the bed, deciding to give up his zealous behavior to dissuade others from caring about him.

"In the last lesson, we explored the origin of the incident with bold and crazy speculation. In the next lesson, we will delve into the origins of Sinsong City, and I think you will find that the archives are a good place to go, and there is a tea room for people to rest. Father Ann said, after buttoning up his coat, as he stood by the door.

"But isn't that place forbidden?" Yu Siqi asked: "I remember that a few years ago, when I went there to borrow archives, I had a closed door. ”

"That's not a problem, really." Father An smiled at Yu Siqi who got out of bed and said, "Come on, although it's still early, it will take us a while to get there, and you don't want to go home too late, right?" ”

It was not a surprise to get into the classic car that was about to fall apart again, but Father Ann suddenly stopped his movements and looked at the figure not far away in a little surprise.

"Acquaintances?" Yu Siqi had just fastened the seat belt when he noticed Father An's abnormality and simply asked casually.

"Well, it's okay, let's go!" Father Ann restarted the car, looking a little solemn and did not answer.

However, as the car drove past the man, Father Ann put his hand on his forehead, sighed, and slammed on the brakes. Yu Siqi didn't make a sound, just quietly watched him push the car door and walk towards the figure.

It was a woman in a long dress, about thirty years old. Although Yu Siqi couldn't see the person's appearance clearly because of the reflection of the sun, judging from her temperament and dress performance, she should be a good fair lady.

"Why are you here again?" Father Ann asked in a cold tone.

"Maybe it's better for you to answer that question yourself?" The woman asked indifferently.

"Don't make a fuss, Ciri, you're not a kid anymore. And I'm not... Never mind... Does your mother have anything to say to me this time? Was it a few more rats in her bedroom, or was the hole in the attic cracked again? Or does she think the piano she took from me last time doesn't work? Father Ann grumbled impatiently.

"She's just... I just hope you can spend more time with her in her last years. The woman's voice suddenly choked and sobbed.

"Alright, put away your disguise, I told you, you're not a kid anymore. Your lame acting skills might make you win the applause of others on screen, but that thing didn't work for me. Father Ann said with a very serious expression: "Your mother is always using her life and death as a bargaining chip, and I am tired of it, understand? ”

"Cold-blooded butcher, people like you deserve to be expelled from the priesthood." Ciri's face instantly lengthened, and his face became sarcastic.

"I don't need you to judge my work, that's not an area where you can judge." Fr. Ann waved his hand impatiently and said, "Your mother doesn't have that qualification, and you don't. ”

"Oh... I can see you're busy! Are you tireless in teaching? Really, I don't understand why someone like you is always fooled, maybe they should have a little more brains?" Ciri said something ugly in a strange tone, and that expression made Yu Siqi feel as if he had misjudged that the woman in front of him was not an angel.

"Shut up!" Annoyed, Father Ann stopped Ciri's statement, turned back to the car and said to Siqi, "Let's go, we don't have to waste extra time on such meaningless things." ”

"The last ward on the ninth floor of Jinrui Second Hospital, if you don't believe it, you can go and have a look." Ciri also returned to her previous quiet and gentleness, propped up a sun umbrella, put on her sunglasses and walked away.

The atmosphere began to be solemn for a while, and Yu Siqi looked at Father An, who was suddenly a little panicked, and didn't know what to say. I feel that this kind of complicated family relationship can't be interfered by an outsider at will.

The silence that no one broke began to spread wantonly in the carriage, like a poison that corroded the mind, eating away at the two people who sat silently in the car.

Maybe I just can't stand the stagnant silence, or maybe it's just uncomfortable. Father Ann was the first to speak, his voice trembling slightly.

"If you don't mind, come with me to the hospital?"

"No problem, was it your daughter just now? Why is it called Ciri? Yu Siqi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could finally speak out, and asked casually.

As if someone had sucked out the last of their oxygen, a feeling of suffocation suddenly spread between the two. Yu Siqi realized that he might have asked a very bad question, and quickly changed his words: "I mean... When I didn't ask, okay? ”

"Ciri Adamene Pampo is my daughter, and as you can see, she is a half-breed. Her mother, the last heir of the Peng Bo family, came to Sinsong with her father forty years ago. Father Ann told the story word by word, as if he were a robot.

"Then why is your relationship so inextricably linked?" Yu Siqi couldn't help but ask.

"It's none of your business," Father Ann said with a very nonchalant expression as he refastened his seatbelt, adjusted his mirror, and said, "It's time for us to go." ”
