The priest's voice echoed through the church, and all the faithful reverently put their hands in front of their foreheads.

This sacred voice is what keeps the holy church standing for a long time.

Audrey did not dare to listen to the prayer she knew so well in her heart, she knew every syllable so well that she could even guess the pastor's mood today.

So she could hear that the pastor's heart was extremely heavy. I don't know why, maybe someone in the family is sick.

As the group walked out of the church, the clouds in the sky seemed to have fallen again.

Audrey didn't like the feeling — the wet air and the dreary sky — that made her feel heavy.

Lady Mary seemed to be in a good mood, though. The group deliberately spared the long journey and went to the market to buy some potted plants.

Strangely, the bonsai that Madame Mary bought were the ones she was raising now, and the types and numbers remained the same.

Carrying the potted plants, the group finally returned home.

Audrey walked to the back of the house because she was carrying a potted plant.

Listening from afar, Mary was telling her about today's dinner,

"Oh, Audrey, go buy some tomatoes today......"

Then she suddenly screamed

"Oh! Oh my God! Who touched my bonsai! ”

When Audrey heard this, she suddenly remembered that Xiao Qi was still at home, and then her mind went blank, and she almost dropped the potted plant in her hand to the ground.

The potted plant in her hand was heavy, but Audrey had to take a few quick steps.

Although the distance is not long, I don't know if these steps are because the potted plant in my hand is too heavy, or I don't know how to deal with it, it seems extremely long.

A potted plant fell on the table, and dirt was sprinkled all over the table.

Audrey stood in the doorway, and suddenly she remembered something, secretly gritted her teeth, and stepped forward.

"Ah, Lady Mary, I'm sorry. This bonsai ...... I spilled it. I...... I was in such a hurry to ...... I left and accidentally bumped into the table and spilled the potted plants. ”

Mary was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then looked at the table.

After a brief silence, Lady Mary spoke again, this time in a particularly strong tone, as if every word was being uttered.

"Audrey, how can you be so careless! This is my favorite bonsai! I think you're tired, and it's time for you to go back to your home and rest for a while. ”

"Mary, don't be so harsh. She's just knocking over a potted plant, why are you going to let her go home? Planck listened to Mary's words and hurriedly stopped her.

"Oh, you don't know, Planck. Yesterday I had an allergic reaction while I was eating my snack. Our family will have access to my snacks and cats...... Or pollen, and only Audrey. ”

When Audrey heard this, she was immediately overwhelmed. After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Yes, ma'am, this is my dereliction of duty. ”

"But how did Audrey come into contact with cats? She just goes out to buy some things every day and is usually at home. And, you know, there are very few cats in our area. Something must have gone wrong - are you allergic to something else? Planck was still defending Audrey.

"But what about pollen? Maybe she got some pollen stuck to one of the flowers when she passed by - I had already called her attention. ”

"Oh?" Planck wondered, "I didn't know you were allergic to pollen. ”

"Of course, I'm allergic to pollen, of course."

"But that's not going to drive her away, is it? Isn't that a little too cruel for a little girl? ”

"God knows. I mean, there were no serious consequences this time, but allergic reactions are no joke. And, if there were other more dangerous things, wouldn't it be worse? ”

"I still think you're making a big fuss......"

"Planck!" Mary suddenly raised her voice.

Everyone fell silent.

After a few seconds, Audrey spoke: "I'm sorry, ma'am......"

"It's useless, don't talk about it......" Before Mary could finish her words, she saw a black figure pounce on Mary. Everyone was taken aback, including Audrey.

Mary subconsciously squatted down, but Xiao Qi happened to lie on her hair, "Meow-" and whistled and slapped Mary's face with a paw.

"What the hell is this?! Audrey! Mary screamed hurriedly, "Planck, help me get it down." ”

The whole room was in a mess, and Xiao Qi saw that Audrey was angry, of course, she was not stable, and she couldn't catch it just by these few people. Mary also kept sneezing as she ran out of the house......

After a long time, I finally settled down.

Audrey stood on one side with Xiaoqi in her arms, and on the other side was Planck, who was taking care of Mary.

"Audrey!" Mary, who had finally recovered, shouted at Audrey, "Pack up and get out of here!" ”

Planck was silent.

Audrey hurriedly turned and went upstairs. Mary took an umbrella: "You clean up this house, I'll go out first, it will be better." ”

Audrey went back upstairs and put Xiao Qi down, one person and one cat looked at each other, and Audrey was eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Why did you knock over the bonsai?"

Xiao Qi sat on the ground and didn't make a sound, just looked at Audrey quietly.

The silence pressed on Audrey's shoulders, and after such a tumult, Audrey finally couldn't bear it anymore, covering her face with her hands, trying not to let the tears flow.

"Meow-" A call came from underfoot. Xiao Qi was sitting at her feet with a photo in her mouth, wagging her tail. Audrey picked up the photo and looked at it, and was stunned.

This is a picture of Lady Mary, and it looks like it was taken intentionally. In the photo, Lady Mary is holding a blooming tulip in her hand, savoring the aroma.

The photo is beautiful, but in Audrey's eyes, it is gray.

"Mary...... Isn't Lady Mary allergic to pollen? ”

Audrey froze in place, I don't know how long it took. It took a thunderclap outside to call Audrey back.

After a brief packing of her luggage, Audrey went downstairs again with a large suitcase, only this time, it was heavier.

The creaking of the stairs was like a countdown, counting down the last seconds she had in the house. Audrey couldn't figure out why Lady Mary did this.

She walked down the stairs and looked around but couldn't find the woman.

"Just leave it like that!" Thinking about it, she walked up to Planck and bowed deeply.

Planck had a complicated look in his eyes, he wanted to say something but couldn't, and finally just sighed.

Xiao Qi turned his head to look at the "key" he made kindly, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, wanting to destroy it. "Such a terrible family doesn't deserve the keys."

Xiao Qi jumped on the table again, but because of the toss just now, Xiao Qi's legs obviously couldn't support it, and he stumbled as soon as he jumped on the table, almost not falling down.

"Seven!"

Audrey saw that Xiao Qi was restless again, and hurriedly went over to pick him up. Xiao Qi was still some distance away from the candle, and realized that he couldn't knock over the candlestick, so he waved his claws with Audrey and pointed at the candlestick.

Audrey naturally didn't understand what Xiao Qi meant, and thought that Xiao Qi was just still angry.

"Alright, let's go home."

But the move caught Planck's attention. Only then did he notice that his manuscript was stuck to the candlestick. He was about to take the draft down when there was another thunderclap that lit up every corner of the room.

Through the light, at that moment, Planck saw the two images together, and his intuition told him that this was what he had been looking for—no "ultraviolet catastrophe" in the short-wave region, and no excessive deviation in the long-wave region - this is exactly the fitting curve needed for blackbody radiation experiments!

The lightning flashed, the rain was still falling, the wind was howling, but there was silence in the room, and Planck froze where he was.

The silence hung over for a long time, finally broken by Planck's hurried footsteps. He hurried into his study, and then he could only hear the chaos inside, and then it was quiet again, except for the sound of pens rubbing against the paper.

In the presence of such a person, attracted to physics and reason, no amount of chaos can distract his attention in the slightest.

As long as what he believes in does not betray him.

But this wish is so extravagant; But what he doesn't know is that what he is opening is Pandora's box, the betrayal of "God", and the "key".

There was another thunderclap, as if announcing the arrival of the "key".

When Xiao Qi saw this scene, he knew that there was no way, and the cat's paw covered his face, "Meow", and pointed to the door again, signaling that Audrey could go.

As soon as Audrey opened the door, she saw Lady Mary walking up the stairs in front of the door.

The two were about to pass by on the stairs, and Audrey was about to open the umbrella, but the two actually stopped each other at the same time.

"Lady Mary—"

"Audrey—"

Both of them were stunned for a moment, under the same umbrella, looking at each other.

Then Audrey spoke in the softest voice, like a flower being slapped in the rain—lonely, desolate, but strong enough to withstand anything.

"You're not allergic to pollen, are you?"

Mary heard this and was silent for a few seconds before she spoke.

"I objected to Planck hiring a maid, and he didn't listen. You can earn a few bucks by working like this. Little girl, listen to me, you just have to find someone to marry. ”

Although the words were exhortation, the cold words were like icicles on the eaves of a snowstorm, falling one by one and piercing Audrey's heart.

With that, Mary walked into the house.

The umbrella goes, the rain falls, the dream wakes up, and the heart is cold.

Audrey hated the rain, hated the things she had to be in, but what could she do?

All she could do was pray.

Pray that the rain will stop soon, and that the clouds will soon disperse.

Pray that you were not born in this era.
