Xia Yuan's hand lightly touched the locust tree and stroked it.

The skin is very rough, different from what I remembered, three years ago, my hands should have been soft, as vigorous as the locust tree at that time. It was not like it now, withered and dry, all the leaves had left him, and it was lonely and old, and even the land that should have been fertile had abandoned it, and it was dry and yellow, and cracks extended from the roots of the tree, and the earth was slightly raised.

At this moment, the "giant" is also old, or has died.

"It's been three years, and this place hasn't been demolished yet?" Su Xin scraped down the wall with stones, and the loose white skin on it fell like snowflakes.

"It seems that the work on this piece has been delayed, but the scrap from the demolition is still useful, so it has all been removed." Xia Yuan pointed to the entrance he had just walked in, which was now empty.

"No wonder, if I were asked to climb up and down like you did, I wouldn't be able to do it."

"But you were quite strong on the bike just now."

"It's different, you don't need a lot of skill to ride a bike."

Xia Yuan squatted down next to the tree, and on the stone bricks of the tree altar in a circle, there were still marks made by himself, which were faintly about to be erased by time, if he hadn't carved it deep enough, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to find it now.

He wiped a gray-red brick, and slowly, an "X" mark appeared on it.

“‘X’？” Su Xin didn't know when he stood behind him, and Xia Yuan was so frightened that he retracted his hand. "What does that mean?"

"Guess it out for yourself."

Xia Yuan said, picking up a tile next to him, it was still pointed, it should be that his memory was blurred, otherwise this tile was really the one he used when he brought Xun Ran here. He missed it for a moment, a little sad, and then began to dig the ground with this complicated feeling.

"Is it still there?" Su Xin also squatted down.

"I don't know, at least I didn't take it."

"What do you mean...... Ranran may have taken it away? ”

"Isn't that exploring?" Xia Yuan's hands rose and fell, and the muscles in his arms bulged his coat, and in just a few strokes, he was so tired that he was out of breath.

This piece of soil is much harder than he imagined, the gray-green moss hardens the soil, and there seem to be a lot of small stones underneath, every time he encounters resistance, Xia Yuan will be moved, and then see the black and gray stones revealed, and a sense of disappointment will follow.

"What's in that box?"

Xia Yuan paused, his eyes were a little sloppy and fluttering, he wiped the sweat on his head, "I can't go back to the past." He muttered.

After another two minutes of chiseling, about 15 centimeters or so, the entire pit was chiseled into an inverted cone, and the edges and corners of the tiles were smoothed out.

"It's gone." Xia Yuan stood up, feeling a tingling in his legs, and the blood supply to his brain was raised, and he was a little dizzy.

"Are you sure?" Su Xin asked, "This hasn't dug much deeper, and maybe you put it in the wrong place?" ”

"No, the marks are here, you can't be wrong."

"Try again, I'm curious."

"I'm tired." Xia Yuan threw away the tiles and sat on the edge of the tree altar to rest.

Su Xin glanced at him, she rolled up her sleeves, and two white and straight little arms appeared from the sweater. She quarreled with the tiles: "Then you rest, I'll dig." ”

Then the sound of digging was heard again.

Xia Yuan shook his head and watched Su Xin busy with his work.

Are you tired? Probably not, he just had some soreness in his arm. Xia Yuan always felt that his current mentality had changed a lot, and he began to miss Xun Ran very much, which was the most torturous kind of missing. After all, Xun Ran was on the opposite side of his house, and he could see the lights in her house at night, but there was a huge gap between the two, and he didn't know how to solve the mess in front of him. A sense of powerlessness came to my heart, and at this time, I really wanted to find someone to complain to.

However, the first candidate in his heart was not Su Xin.

It's Xun Ran.

This is a terrible thing, after all, I decided that the person I liked was Su Xin! What has he become? Chen Shimei in the morning and evening? The scum who only regretted it when he lost it? These thoughts were heavy in his mind, like a stone pressing down on his heart.

Xia Yuan looked at Su Xin, she dug seriously, as if she was really looking for some treasure, her movements were not large, making people think that she was holding a small tool such as a brush. Why is Su Xin so concerned about his own affairs? The secret in the box, she could know it from her own mouth, and Xia Yuan was a little embarrassed to be a little embarrassed after such a wasted effort and couldn't figure it out.

"Or ...... I'll do it. Xia Yuan stood up, his tone softened.

"Have you rested?"

"Actually, I'm not tired."

"Cut."

Su Xin's hand fell as usual, and this time, the sound of metal smashing burst out of the hole crisply.

In the open pit, the corner of the red box is exposed in the lower left corner.

"Ahh Got it! Su Xin jumped up, and in the same way, she was also dizzy, and the feeling of the world spinning hit her, Su Xin didn't stand firm, and fell to the side crookedly.

Xia Yuan held her.

"Thank you."

"It's fine."

Su Xin got up, "It seems that Ran Ran didn't take it." ”

"It's weird." Xia Yuan frowned, "It's obviously buried directly below the mark, why is it so slanted?" Xia Yuan looked at the brick again, there was no sign of movement, and the cement had dried into turquoise.

Xia Yuan then dug out the box, which was stained with a little rust, and even if it was buried in the ground, it didn't seem to have escaped the results of oxidation.

"Can I drive it?" Su Xin opened his hands as if asking for a hug.

"It's a little dirty."

"It's okay!"

"Okay then."

Su Xin took the box, "It's so heavy!" It looked like there were bricks in it, and she thought it would be letters or something, but how many letters would have to be written if it was this amount.

She carefully snapped her fingers to the edge of the lid, breathing heavily. As if to give it a treat, she pulled the lid open.

Su Xin's face was illuminated by the pink light reflected in the box in amazement.

"Oh my God!" Su Xin wanted to cover her mouth, but there was dirt on her hands, so her surprised expression was exposed. This expression was exactly the same as Xun Ran's expression when he saw it back then, almost copied. At this point, Xia Yuan was surprised that he could remember it so clearly.

Xia Yuan couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"It's beautiful."

Su Xin put the box on the ground, carefully holding a fragile antique. She pulled a tissue from her pocket and wiped her hands carefully.

"There's no need to be so grand." Xia Yuan said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Su Xin, who finished wiping his hands, picked up the box again and sat next to the tree altar.

She gently pinched a piece of the box with two fingers. A three-dimensional hexagonal specimen with a diamond-like sparkle and a cherry blossom blooming inside. In the middle of the five crystal clear thin petals, there is a blooming stamen, the middle color is heavier, fiery red, and there seems to be a very small flower in it. It's like a pink-clad princess dancing in a crystal palace, and you can't take your eyes off it with envy.
