Chapter 423: The Secret That Died Once Upon a Time (23)
"It's snowing... May Flying Frost ...? Jiang Qiao stretched out her hand in a daze, and a snowball fell lightly in her palm, rolled a few times, and stood quietly on her fingertips.
"This... Isn't this snow? Jiang Qiao saw clearly that what fell in her palm was nothing more than a lump of cotton wool that looked like snow: "Where did the cotton wool come from?" Jiang Qiao poked his head out strangely, but found that it was already snow-white outside, as soon as Jiang Qiao opened the door, the clumps of small cotton wool floated into the house, hovering in the air in the wind, and the scene was also beautiful.
"When you open the door in the morning, the snow is full of snow, the snow is clear, the clouds are light, and the sun is cold." Jiang Qiao muttered to himself.
Mao Daxin sat up with messy hair, sleepy-eyed, and muttered: "Xiao Qiao, what snow, what sun, what are you muttering alone, hey dawn... Hey, where did the snow come from? ”
"You can see clearly, this is not snow, it's catkins." Ah Moon also woke up, and the cat waist walked out of the tent, and at a glance he saw cotton wool flying all over the house.
"It's May now, where did the catkins come from?" Mao Daxin stretched and yawned.
"This... It is like the fruit of the kapok tree. Jiang Li said softly, he had already gotten up, and was twisting a small ball of cotton wool to look at it carefully.
"Kapok tree?" The other three people were surprised in unison, it's not that there is anything unusual about the kapok tree, it's just that Jiang Li, who doesn't go out of the gate on weekdays, actually knows that there is a plant like the kapok tree in this world, you know, there is no such plant in the urban area of Jiangcheng.
Mao Daxin smiled: "You actually know about the Kapok Tree? You probably read that poem. ”
"What kind of poem?" Jiang Li asked puzzledly.
Mao Daxin waved his hand and said to himself: "Forget it, how can I think you can read love poems?" ”
"Ahem, cough, but it's a little strange, even if it's the seeds of the kapok tree, but when I came yesterday, there was no at all, why is it suddenly so many today?" Ah Moon covered his mouth and nose with his hands while coughing violently, and the fruits of these kapok trees flew everywhere, and he would suck in his mouth and nose if he was not careful.
"That's right, and the kapok tree is so tall, if so, why didn't we find it yesterday?" Jiang Qiao also agreed, which was also a question in her heart.
"Otherwise, let's go to the terrace again, and even if we have to leave, we won't be in a hurry at this time." Mao Daxin said that the wind is the rain, and he got up and was about to go upstairs, but he was driven by Jiang Li, Mao Daxin stomped his feet and followed closely.
Several people came to the terrace together, at this time it was already full of flocculents, and the teaching people could hardly open their eyes, Mao Daxin covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, stood on the four sides of the terrace and looked around, and said strangely: "It's strange, this thing really seems to float from the sky." ”
Mao Daxin is right, this flying flotsam does not come from one direction, but seems to surround this small orphanage from all directions.
"It's beautiful." Ah Moon looked at the orphanage covered by fluttering flotsam, like a small lonely city surrounded by heavy snow, looking cold and lonely. Gradually, Ah Moon's vision became a little blurred, and in a hazy way, a series of footprints were left alone in the snow, and a small back was struggling to drag something, slowly moving forward.
"Ah Moon, what are you crying about?" Jiang Qiao turned his head but saw Ah Moon suddenly burst into tears, and couldn't help but ask with concern.
"Crying?" Ah Moon wiped away the tears on his face in surprise, and said in a little panic: "I don't know why I'm crying, I just think this scene is very familiar, where have I seen it, and suddenly I have a very sad feeling in my heart." ”
"Are you familiar with that?" Jiang Qiao was a little surprised, "It can't be that there is something strange about this orphanage, that's why you all have such an inexplicable familiar feeling." ”
"Then why don't I have it, do you have it, Little Joe?" Mao Daxin came over and interjected, although he had a hippie smile on his face, the anxiety and concern in his eyes really couldn't be hidden, it seemed that Ah Moon had indeed occupied a certain place in his heart.
Jiang Qiao shook his head: "I just think it's eerie here, and there's something familiar about it." ”
Ah Moon looked into the distance with a daze: "I didn't feel anything familiar yesterday, but today's scene, it seems to be in the depths of my memory for a long, long time, I must have seen it... Ah Moon tried hard to find the relevant memories in his head, but there was only the small back just now, and there was no other scene.
On the other end, Jiang Li also looked into the distance sluggishly and said nothing.
Mao Daxin looked at the backs of the two people who were surprisingly similar, and muttered helplessly to Jiang Qiao: "This orphanage is really a god, it actually meets people to put dishes on the plate, why do they have induction, but we don't?" Mao Daxin waited for a long time, didn't see Jiang Qiao's response, turned his head and found that Jiang Qiao was in a daze facing a room protruding from the terrace.
This small house standing abruptly on the terrace has no windows, no doors, no whitewash, just made of cement and bricks.
"Xiao Qiao, you said that this doesn't look like the water tower that used to store water." Mao Daxin put one hand on Jiang Qiao's shoulder and said.
"Water towers? It's really kind of like ... But I remember that my house used to have a door to the water tower, otherwise how would I go in and clean it? Jiang Qiao was puzzled: "However, it's not easy for you, a young master, to know the water tower of our poor family." ”
"Hmph, I haven't eaten pork and haven't seen pigs run, and now there are many upstairs in Jiangcheng City. Once, someone called the police and said that the water smelled and said that there was a suspicion of a corpse, and it was almost scared to death, and finally it was confirmed that it was just a dead mouse, alas, this time... Mao Daxin rubbed his chin and said, "But the water tower did have a door that time, and... There's no sound of water in there, huh? ”
Jiang Qiao walked around the square house, and indeed did not find any gaps, and wondered: "That... How do you get into this room, and what is the use of this room? ”
Mao Daxin closed his eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly said in surprise: "Xiao Qiao, do you remember the hollow brick that was about to be kicked and broken by you, the location of that wall is near this room, do you think it will matter?" ”
Jiang Qiao felt that Mao Daxin was very reasonable, so he called Jiang Li and Ah Moon, who were still in a trance, and several people came to the wall together, Ah Moon said uneasily: "Why don't we leave, I... I suddenly don't want to stay here, I want to go. ”
Jiang Qiao said with concern: "What's wrong?" Are you not feeling well? ”
Ah Moon shook his head: "I... From the time I saw all this this morning, my heart was very sad, a very familiar and very sad feeling, let's go quickly. ”
Jiang Qiao nodded, and was about to stop Mao Daxin, but Mao Daxin's happy voice came from the other end: "Found it, found it!" ”
