Chapter 21: Sister and Brother and the Bridge of Mist

"Sister, what do you see?"

I don't remember which time, when Bai Siyi and Bai Kong looked up at the starry sky, Bai Kong asked Bai Siyi like this.

By that time, both parents had passed away, and they had been evicted from the spacious house where they had lived since childhood. Fortunately, Bai Siyi still had some pocket money from the past, and rented a small house in an old residential area, otherwise the two siblings really didn't know where to stay.

The rooftops of residential buildings in this old-fashioned neighborhood are always used by residents on the top floor as a place to store sundries. All kinds of tattered and obsolete objects, because their owners have not been abandoned for one reason or another, and do not want to store them in the home to occupy space, are piled up on the top floor platform, scrawled with several layers of tattered plastic film, and left to fend for themselves with all kinds of stories. It may be many years before the owner of the object will pat his head and remember what he once stored on the top floor, and then hurried to the top floor platform to find a pile of rotten and tattered garbage.

Sometimes, Bai Si would have the illusion that she could feel the faint sadness of these objects from them.

It's definitely not a place to do something as poetic as stargazing.

But the two sisters and brothers, who have nowhere else to go, can only enjoy this rare spiritual sublimation in this forgotten corner.

"I saw the stars." Bai Siyi remembered that he had answered like this at the time, and the stupidity that came out of this answer could simply make people fall upside down.

In fact, in an over-industrialized city, where can you see the stars clearly. Those stars, all hiding their light behind the layers of haze, never poured their light on the city easily.

Bai Kong seemed to hear a profound philosophy of life from this answer, and she was not yet ten years old at the time, and sighed softly, but with a heavy sigh.

"Why do people only see the stars? The sky that occupies the most is obviously boundless darkness. Bai Kong's voice was tender and sharp, like a young child, and it was impossible to distinguish between men and women.

At that time, Bai Siyi was amused by his old-fashioned appearance, and rubbed Bai Kong's soft black hair fiercely. Bai Kong obviously didn't like Bai Siyi's movements, but he didn't make any objections, just continued to look at the night sky blankly.

Now, the person who accompanied Bai Si to see the starry sky was not white sky, but Lin Feifei, who was chattering, feeling that Bai Siyi's mood was not high, and he was trying to find a topic to tease Bai Siyi's mouth.

However, Bai Kong's words many years ago have been ringing in Bai Siyi's ears.

Bai Siyi had never thought about this sentence in the depths before, because in her heart, Bai Kong was just an introverted and silent but well-behaved and sensible younger brother.

However, today, under the starry sky without a trace of beauty that Bai Siyi saw in front of his eyes, Bai Siyi suddenly understood the meaning of Bai Kong's words.

It turned out that for so many years, I was looking at the beautiful stars, and the white sky was looking at the dark and bottomless deep sky.

"Sister, are you listening?" Lin Feifei had a dissatisfied voice and called Bai Siyi back to his senses.

"I was distracted just now, what did you say?" Bai Siyi asked gently with a little apology in his tone.

Lin Feifei beside him puffed out his cheeks and pouted, his small appearance was like a little hamster who had eaten too many nuts, and his two soft cheek pouches were bulging, not to mention how cute he was.

Bai Siyi's strange aunt's hand is about to move again, and she is really about to lose control of it, so she wants to pinch her face, what should I do?

"I said, sister, we can be regarded as sharing hardships, right? You haven't even introduced yourself, and I don't know your name yet. Lin Feifei said complainingly, as if he felt that Bai Siyi had not told him her name, but he knew that his name was Lin Feifei, and he had suffered a big loss.

Bai Si was stunned for a moment, and recalled in his mind the process of the two getting to know each other, and he really didn't report his name. One reason is that Bai Si always remembers the novice post warning players to protect their game name, and one reason is that her game name is too cheating, she really doesn't want to tell others, and she feels a little strange to report her real name in a game world, and then she was busy getting the corpse upstairs, attracting the pursuers, this series of reasons, actually let the two people who have been walking all the way for a long time still don't know each other's names.

Therefore, Lin Feifei has always called himself sister, but because he doesn't know what his name is, does he use a pronoun?

Bai Si thought about it for a while, but decided to reveal his real name.

"My name is Bai Siyi." As soon as Bai Si opened his mouth to say his name, he felt that it was too thin to say only one name, and added: "You have also seen my ability, it is to manipulate corpses, and the weapon is eyes." ”

When Lin Feifei heard Bai Siyi mention her weapon, he immediately subconsciously wanted to look at Bai Siyi's eyes, but this time he reacted in time and twisted his head to the other side halfway.

"Bai Siyi," Lin Feifei read the name several times and remembered it in his heart. "It's still my name, how easy it is to call. Anyway, I've called you so much, sister, and you'll be my sister in the future, won't you? ”

Although Lin Feifei didn't look at Bai Siyi, he bumped Bai Siyi's arm with his remaining right arm. Although he was asking Bai Siyi's opinion, obviously, even if Bai Siyi couldn't say it, the boy made up his mind to stick to Bai Siyi, and followed Bai Siyi in the future.

Bai Si looked at Lin Feifei's side of his face, the boy's neck was white and delicate, and it was difficult to see the Adam's apple from this angle. Unexpectedly, this is exactly the same as the white sky.

Bai Siyi thought of Bai Kong again. Looking at Lin Feifei, who looked similar to Bai Kong, Bai Siyi couldn't say the words of refusal, so he could only squeeze a few words out of his throat dryly.

"I have a younger brother."

Lin Feifei listened to Bai Siyi's words, not to reject his own meaning, he immediately listened quietly, waiting for Bai Siyi to continue. didn't expect that Bai Siyi just said a few words, and there was no follow-up.

After a moment of silence, seeing that Bai Siyi didn't mean to speak again, Lin Feifei's crisp voice jingled in Bai Siyi's ears.

"In the future, I will also be your brother."

Bai Siyi felt that Lin Feifei was sensitive to the changes in other people's emotions, which could be said to be terrifying.

Bai Siyi didn't know why he told this boy that he had a younger brother, and he didn't know why he suddenly didn't want to talk about it. Lin Feifei didn't ask about her brother, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. And when Lin Feifei said that he would also be her younger brother in the future, Bai Siyi felt that there was a place in his heart that had been empty for a few days, and it was suddenly filled with a soft and tough substance.

When Bai Siyi woke up in a coma and couldn't find Bai Kong by her side, she felt that something very important in her heart must have disappeared with Bai Kong. And now, although she still doesn't know what this kind of thing is, obviously, this boy, who has only known him for less than half a day, has sent this kind of thing back.

The feeling of softness, warmth, tenacity, bravery, happiness, and hope in his heart made Bai Si at this moment, and the only thing he wanted to do was to cry.

"Thank you." Bai Si said into the air in a faint voice as soon as he heard him.

In the dark time before dawn when the two of them were waiting together, the two of them just stared at the starry sky blankly, except for Lin Feifei who introduced his ability, the two of them barely spoke. Although from the eyes of the two people, they saw two completely different scenes, but the two people clearly saw the same beauty from different scenes.

Eventually, the stars in the sky dimmed, and the darkness in the sky was replaced by a dim celestial light of indescribable color. This city, which is only a bustling empty shell, has gradually extinguished the light that it has been spitting all night.

It was during this time that the whole world fell into a pre-dawn darkness that was darker than night.

"Alright, it's time for us to go." Bai Siyi got up from the ground, grabbed Lin Feifei's right hand again, pulled Lin Feifei up, and then patted himself and Lin Feifei with the ashes on their bodies. It's like the action that Bai Siyi and Bai Siyi will do every time they look at the starry sky. Bai Siyi's action of slapping the ashes on the two of them was natural and skillful, just like the two of them had done this countless times before.

Lin Feifei was a little shy, but seeing that Bai Siyi expressed his closeness to him, the boy did not twist and accepted this care calmly.

In the process of going downstairs, Lin Feifei obviously felt that Bai Siyi's attitude towards himself was different.

When the two of them went upstairs, although Bai Siyi was also in front and took care of Lin Feifei very much, when the two of them went downstairs, Bai Siyi's concern for Lin Feifei was obviously up a notch.

Bai Siyi asked Lin Feifei to pull his clothes and told the boy not to let go. Every time he arrives at the door of a floor, he is as vigilant as a mongoose, always sticking his neck and vigilantly observing all possible dangers. Even so, Bai Siyi touched Lin Feifei's hand holding his clothes twice during this process of going downstairs, as if he was afraid that Lin Feifei would disappear at a certain corner.

Lin Feifei's behavior of Bai Siyi can only be evaluated by crying and laughing. However, the boy obviously enjoyed Bai Siyi's concern, and when Bai Si reached out once or twice to determine whether Lin Feifei was safe, Lin Feifei also gently squeezed Bai Siyi's hand back twice in response.

When Bai Siyi and Lin Feifei stood in front of the bridge again, Bai Siyi was stunned and didn't know what kind of move to make.

The bridge disappeared, and even the scenery of the raging river and the other side of the river disappeared from Bai Siyi's eyes.

It seems that someone has used the image liquefaction function of Photoshop to knead the whole scene in the direction of the opposite shore into a ball, each object has no boundary, the colors of each object bite each other, and everything in that direction is a dull and strange whole in Bai Si's eyes.

"Sister, it's foggy!" Lin Feifei's words explained the situation in front of him in a timely manner.

Bai Si must have calmed down, indeed, there will always be a layer of fog rising on the river surface in the early morning, but today's fog is a little bigger, and it is processed by Bai Siyi's death vision, which produces this effect.

Such a large fog has caused a lot of trouble for Bai Siyi's vision, but on the other hand, it should also cause a lot of trouble for those lurkers who may be hiding in the car stack.

"I can't see clearly, you have to be careful." Bai Siyi's voice was lowered, and he said something to Lin Feifei.

Lin Feifei subconsciously looked at Bai Siyi's eyes again. Bai Siyi's green eyes were like two old-fashioned light bulbs with very low wattage in the fog, and a small circle of faint green light wafted out under the fog.

If an ordinary person saw a skeleton shelf in the fog with two green lights floating on it, he would probably be scared half to death, right? Isn't that a sure win without fighting? Lin Feifei chose such a dress for Bai Si, but he still couldn't accept it. Lin Feifei wiped away the tears that flowed out uncontrollably, and reached out to support Bai Siyi's arm.

"Sister, you should be careful."

The two sisters and brothers supported each other and rubbed on the bridge step by step.

When the front of the first car poked its head out of the dense fog and was captured by Bai Siyi's vision, Bai Siyi suddenly stopped.

"Sister?" Lin Feifei leaned into Bai Siyi's ear and asked Bai Siyi in a breathy voice. The hot breath from the boy's mouth sprayed on Bai Siyi's ears, itchy, this feeling has never been felt for Bai Siyi, Bai Kong would never talk to her like this, which made Bai Siyi feel a burst of novelty.

Bai Siyi also lowered his head slightly, lowered his voice and replied, "Go to the side of the bridge." ”

Lin Feifei didn't ask again, he took Bai Siyi's arm, just like walking over to the side of the bridge, and the two of them didn't stop until they walked to the guardrail on the side of the bridge.

"Look around here, look outside the guardrail of the bridge, and see if there are any ladders or anything like that where you can climb under the bridge."

Lin Feifei was stunned for a moment, as if he was digesting the meaning of Bai Si's words, although he didn't understand too much what Bai Siyi was looking for, but Lin Feifei still set off from the good as a stream. The boy did not dare to approach the vehicles on the bridge, so he started from where the two were standing, and as he headed in the direction of the lower bridge, he stuck his head out of the guardrail and looked at the river.

It didn't take long for Lin Feifei to run back excitedly, lowered his voice but couldn't hide the happiness in his voice, and said to Bai Siyi, "Sister, it's really there, I found a ladder that can be climbed down, there should be a place to stand underneath, I can't see clearly." ”

As soon as Bai Si heard this answer, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if this was the case, it would be easy to do, and the two of them might not need to risk crossing these cars.

"Go, take me there."

Lin Feifei hurriedly grabbed Bai Siyi's arm and walked towards the direction of the ladder with Bai Siyi.

There is a distance of about one meter between the upper end of the ladder and the bridge deck, and there are several semi-circular steel bars on top of the ladder to protect the climber from falling. Lin Fei flew to the edge of the ladder and wanted to climb the ladder first, but was stopped by Bai Siyi stretching out his hand.

"Your hands are inconvenient, I'll go down first to see, if there is no danger, I'll knock on the ladder, and then you can climb down slowly." As soon as Bai Si didn't wait for Lin Feifei to argue, he groped his way out of the guardrail by the bridge and carefully stepped on the crossbar of the ladder. Lin Feifei could only be by the bridge, stretching his head, staring closely at Bai Siyi's figure as he climbed down the ladder, gradually blurring his figure in the fog.

Lin Feifei poked his head out, as Bai Si disappeared for longer and longer, he felt his heart tighten more and more, just when Lin Feifei was about to climb the ladder and go down to take a look, there were three faint vibrations from the iron ladder. Lin Feifei immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, and then carefully climbed the ladder.

"Sister, where is this?" As soon as Lin Feifei got down from the ladder into this not spacious space, he asked Bai Siyi in surprise.

Bai Siyi organized his words, felt his way on the rivets of his clothes, and replied, "I'm not sure what kind of place this is, it's the kind of foreign movie I used to watch, the kind of police and bandit wars, where the police and the gangsters chased each other in the mezzanine under the bridge of a bridge across the river. I guess it's probably for the staff who maintain the bridge. After all, the current bridge is no longer the kind of bridge that was completed if a few pillars were put on top of stone slabs, and the wires and other facilities on the bridge need to be overhauled. Bai Siyi glanced into the depths of this narrow space, which led to the other side of the river. I just suddenly remembered that movie and wanted to look it up and try my luck. Now it seems that we are lucky, and we should be able to safely cross the other side along this road. ”

Lin Feifei looked at his sister with a look of adoration in his eyes, and once again reaped tears on his face.

Do you think that this pair of sisters and brothers is too fast, there is a reason, and I will write later. In short, these two people are embarrassed, eh, Zhou Yu Huang Gai, just look at the right eye.
