At six o'clock in the afternoon on the weekend, Wang Qiu returned home after sending Wang Jingnian away, and felt a little empty.

Aunt Guo hesitated to ask for leave in the morning, it was said that the child in the family was sick and wanted to go back to see, Wang Qiu readily agreed, Aunt Guo was very happy, and stuffed the refrigerator to the brim before leaving.

Wang Qiu returned to the room and looked at Yuanbaoshan through the balcony window, the light gradually dimmed, and Yuanbaoshan began to slowly darken.

The wind chimes by the window swayed softly, without making a soft sound, and out of the corner of Wang Qiu's eyes, he saw a bird with emerald feathers outside the window, holding a beautiful ring in his mouth.

"Hey, is that the messenger going?" He muttered softly to himself, afraid of alarming the bird.

The little bird tilted his head and kept looking at Wang Qiu, which made Wang Qiu feel weird, and just wanted to close the window, the little bird in front of him suddenly "bang" and changed.

A gust of wind blew, Wang Qiu opened his eyes, and in front of him was a young man with emerald hair, red lips and white teeth, and a clear glow of moonlight between his eyebrows.

Wang Qiu looked directly at the young man, then casually closed the window, locked it, and even closed the curtains.

Wang Qiu, who was lying on the bed, breathed a sigh of relief, but he always heard the window being knocked gently, and when he opened the curtains, he saw the young man, and his pitiful appearance made people feel a little soft-hearted.

"Who are you?" Wang Qiu opened the window, there was a charm, and he was not worried about ordinary aliens entering the house.

"I am the moonlight bird of Qinghe Mountain, looking for people." The young man looked depressed: "But I'm lost." ”

"I'm not very familiar with this place either."

The young man said to himself: "I am going to No. 9 Wutong Court on First Avenue to find a girl named Duoduo and return the ring." ”

Wang Qiu looked at the young man's expectant eyes, and couldn't bear to refuse, thinking that he was just looking for someone, and there shouldn't be any danger, so he promised: "I can help you, but it's too late now." ”

"That's great, I'll stay under the eaves for a while, I hope it doesn't bother you."

In the dream, a kingfisher that looked about the same as a young man, with blood dripping from its wings, crashed into the half-open window in panic and fainted.

When she woke up, the wound on her wings was bandaged, and a hazy-faced girl was smiling with a dimple at the corner of her mouth. The girl tended the bird until it could fly again, and before releasing it, the girl put a ring on the kingfisher's ankle......

Is it a dream? Or whose memory.

Wang Qiu went downstairs and saw an emerald bird standing on the lampshade under the eaves dozing, somewhat similar to the one in the dream, but the one in the dream had a wisp of goose-yellow feathers on its head.

As soon as I walked to the school gate, I heard Li Xue's voice coming from a distance: "Autumn! ”

"What a coincidence." Wang Qiu greeted with a smile and walked into the classroom with Li Xue: "Xiaoxue, do you know the Wutong Garden on First Street?" ”

"I'm living in Wutong Garden!"

"What a coincidence!" Wang Qiu was a little surprised: "No. 9 Wutong Garden, do you know? ”

"Have you inquired about my address~" Li Xue snickered: "I am from No. 9 Wutong Garden." Why are you asking about this? ”

"It's really fake~ It's too much of a coincidence!" Wang Qiu felt that he was surprised and arrived suddenly: "I'll ask you about someone." ”

"Who?" Li Xue patted her chest: "Nine times out of ten, I know all the people in Wutong Garden!" ”

"A girl named Duoduo."

Li Xue frowned: "Duoduo? This name is so common, there are two or three people named Duoduo who I know alone, is there any other information? ”

Wang Qiu shook his head: "Wait until I ask again, since you are from Wutong Garden, it should be much easier to find." ”

In the third class in the afternoon, Wang Qiu looked out the window, there was an emerald bird parked on the windowsill, Wang Qiu, who was originally a little drowsy, woke up instantly, the bird turned into a teenager, and the wings behind him had a silky luster in the sun: "I can't wait for you, so I follow your breath to find you." ”

The bell rang for the end of class, but the teacher had no intention of leaving class, Wang Qiu hurriedly raised his hand and lied that he went to the toilet, and suffered several blank eyes from the teacher.

"I already know the location of Wutong Garden, but the person you are looking for, does he have any other information besides his name?" Wang Qiu explained: "There is too little information. ”

The boy was silent: "Decades ago, my friend was seriously injured and was rescued by the human girl Duoduo, and before parting, the girl gave this ring. My friend was so weak from his injuries that he asked me to return the ring just before he passed away recently. ”

The young man lowered his eyelids and stopped talking, and Wang Qiu felt rude: "I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay." The young man's smile made people feel very comfortable: "I am very grateful for your help to me." ”

Wang Qiu didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to change the topic: "You said decades ago, how long did it take~" Although he knew that the demon had a long lifespan, he still sighed and guessed the age of the young man in front of him.

"It's been about 70 years." The boy thought for a long time.

"This ......" Wang Qiu thought of a possibility, after all, 70 years is almost a person's life, maybe this flower no longer exists.

"Ah, by the way, that guy has a dimple on the left side of his face." The boy patted his head.

"The dimple on the left side of the face......

"Autumn!" Li Xue watched Wang Qiu standing alone by the window next to the toilet in a daze, and stepped forward to pat Wang Qiu on the shoulder.

Wang Qiu came back to his senses and subconsciously looked at Li Xue's left face, and Li Xue also subconsciously reached out and wiped his face: "What's wrong?" Is there something? ”

Wang Qiu shook his head: "It's okay, I just think the dimples on the left side of your face look good." ”

After school, Wang Qiu followed Li Xue to Wutong Garden, and the boy turned into a bird and followed him from afar.

As soon as Li Xue entered the big wooden gate of Wutong Garden, she began to shout. Wutong Garden is similar to a courtyard gathering area, there are twenty or thirty households, Li Xue shouted, and everyone greeted each other.

Wang Qiu said that he was looking for a very old 'Duoduo', and Li Xue began to pull around as soon as she saw the elderly man.

"Grandma, do you know an old lady named Duoduo?" Li Xue asked an old woman sitting in front of the door.

"What did you say?"

"Duoduo~ Do you know Duoduo?"

"What?"

"Do you know who Duoduo is?"

"Oh, it's going to rain, it's going to dodge."

“......”

Li Xue gave up communicating with her grandmother, pulled Wang Qiu to say goodbye to her grandmother and hurriedly ran home: "Go and ask my grandma, my grandma knows more." ”

When she arrived at the door of Li Xue's house, Li Xue's parents were cooking, and Li Xue took Wang Qiu to her grandmother: "Grandma, ask you about someone, called Duoduo." ”

Li Xue's grandmother was a little deaf, so she asked again loudly: "Grandma, which old lady do you know whose name is Duoduo~"

Li Xue's father entered the house, and just heard Li Xue ask in a loud voice, and said casually: "Your grandmother's name is Duoduo~"

The young man in the distance confirmed the breath on the ring and nodded at Wang Qiu, Wang Qiu turned his head and asked Li Xue, "Can I talk to grandma alone?" ”

Li Xue didn't ask anything, and said, "Then I'll wash some fruit." ”

Wang Qiu looked at Grandma Li Xue, whose eyes were a little cloudy, and asked as clearly as possible: "Grandma, do you remember an injured bird decades ago?" You gave it a ring. ”

Grandma Li Xue's brows furrowed slightly, and she looked at Wang Qiu hard, and after a long time, she smiled kindly: "Is it 'Yue' who asked you to come?" ”

Wang Qiu stretched out his hand and gently put the ring in Li Xue's grandmother's hand, Li Xue's grandmother rubbed the ring and muttered very sadly: "I have always regretted it." I'm worried that my whims will bother it. Just because I liked it, I stayed for a few more days, and because I liked it too much, I forcibly gave it the ring. At the time, it never occurred to me that it would be treated unfairly or put in danger because of the ring. ”

"Even though humanity has put me in a crisis, I am very grateful for that encounter, a time of joy that I have not had in hundreds of years." The young man approached Wang Qiu and read softly: "Yue has always said so. ”

Looking at Grandma Li Xue, who was already gray-haired and old, the young man seemed to sigh lightly: "Human life is really short. ”

After listening to the young man's words, Wang Qiu gently held his grandmother's hand: "Grandma, Yue He, I like this ring very much." ”

Then he looked into his grandmother's eyes and recalled the smiling face of the girl in his dream: "Thank you for your gift, and thank you for meeting you." ”

This is probably what Yue wanted to tell Duoduo in person, but he never had a chance to say it.
