"Squeak..."

As soon as Xiao Hai's feet stepped on it, the wooden board issued a warning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The tower is about ten meters high, and there is a musty smell inside, cold and damp. There are a few tiny windows in the tower, and the snow-white light is refracted in, and countless swirling dust appears.

In the dim light, large and small debris were scattered at his feet, showing irregular black shadows, as if they had been robbed. If you look closely, you can see that there are bracelets with broken threads, broken mirrors, cracked jewelry boxes, and so on...... Most of them are covered with a thick layer of ash.

Xiao Hai walked around, there was nothing on the first floor, he held on to the stairs and walked to the second floor.

"Squeak.. Squeak..."

Every step was the wailing of wooden planks, and Xiao Hai was really afraid that this building would collapse at any time.

The layout of the second floor is strange, it seems to be an ancient woman's boudoir, but.... I can't tell what's wrong.

Yes, it's depressing, it's like being imprisoned here.

Xiao Hai stood at the top of the stairs, and what greeted him was a bed, close to the wall, and the curtain was so dirty that it was impossible to see the original color. There are also a few dried white flowers on it, and the petals are slightly yellowed. A multicolored bell hangs in the middle, revealing an unlucky smell.

Turning his gaze again, Xiao Hai was so frightened that he staggered to his hind legs and almost fell down the staircase!

It turned out to be the vulture! It's just across the street! The cold gaze looked at him, and people couldn't help but shiver.

Wait a minute... Something is wrong... The vulture did not move, and its form was much larger.

Xiao Hai held his chest and calmed down, only to realize that this was just a painting. Because the painting is too vivid, I let myself be mistaken for the truth.

This bird is depicted on the screen, and Xiaohai remembers that his brother said that in ancient times, girls changed their clothes and used this play to separate them. The big bird waved its wings and swirled and stood. The neck is high, roaring towards the sky, and the eyes are sharp and revealing an indescribable gloom.

But if it's just a painting, it's nothing scary.

Xiao Hai walked over and looked at it, and in his eyes, the beasts all looked similar. But at this moment, if you look closely, this bird is blue, like a duck, with a huge body and plump wings that seem to cover the sky. There is still a difference between it and the vulture, but for some reason, as soon as he saw those blue and black eyes, Xiao Hai thought of the beast and couldn't help but be stunned.

The oil paint on the screen has faded, and it smells old. But the picture quality is still real, he can't help but reach out and caress it, every inch of the lines is extraordinarily clear.

This craftsmanship is lifelike, it's really amazing......

It's just a girl's boudoir, how can she draw such a murderous pattern?

In this palm-sized room, there is also a wooden dresser, placed opposite the bed, and the huge mirror faintly reflects the light.

What a piece of wood! Xiao Hai couldn't help but praise.

He walked over, and the wood had not rotted at all in such a damp and mildewy environment. There wasn't even a bit of dust on the dresser! The wood is full of color and exudes a faint black glow.

Uncle Xiang was a carpenter when he was young, and he always built homes for dignitaries in high society. I used to listen to Uncle Xiang's chatter, and I could see that this wood was a rare thing, but I didn't know which one to go to. It's a pity... I am not as diligent as my brother, and I can't learn one, two, three......

There were some jewelry boxes on the table, velvet jewelry boxes with gold patterns on a red background, with the lid open, but the inside was empty. He picked it up and looked at it, fiddling with it in his hand, the box was really delicate and brightly colored.

There was a layer of floating ash on the mirror, and Xiao Hai sat down and stretched out his hand to wipe it, and his haggard and tired face was reflected in it. It seems that during this time, I have lost a lot of weight! He touched his chin, and his beard had grown, his eyes were red, and his surroundings were black.

Although this mirror is a bronze mirror, it is very clear and there are no scratches at all.

Looking at it, Xiao Hai couldn't help but laugh out loud, his hair was messy like a bird's nest, and he put two eggs and lived! But after losing weight, it doesn't look bad!

Laughing and laughing, his expression froze.

In the mirror, behind him, a blurred shadow appeared......

The shadow kept becoming clearer, sharpening little by little, from the hair, to the face, to the eyes, to the nose, to the lips....

Xiao Hai turned his head suddenly, and there was nothing behind him. But the colorful bells on the bed made a "Ding Lingling" sound.

Xiao Hai turned around again, and the portrait in the mirror was fully presented.

"Let's go"

The jewelry box slipped out of his hand, and Xiao Hai was stunned, not moving.

In the mirror, it is Da Lei.

Da Lei is still like that, there is no change at all, but he looks extremely tired. In the mirror, he winked at Xiao Hai, tilted his head and grinned.

Xiao Hai stretched out his hand and touched the mirror, just like stroking Da Lei.

“....... Elder brother? ”

After a long time, Xiao Hai asked hoarsely, his voice trembling, like a taut rope that would break at any moment.

Da Lei in the mirror nodded, then frowned again, stretched out his index finger and shaved his face.

This action is to warn Xiaohai: What are the big men crying! Shame!

Sure enough, Xiao Hai turned his gaze from the mirror to his face, his eyes and the tip of his nose were red, as if he was out of the water with a slight pinch.

It's okay that Da Lei didn't do this action, but as soon as he did it, Xiaohai couldn't hold back crying at all. As soon as his mouth was deflated, tears flowed out, and the more they flowed, the more turbulent they became, and the snot bubbles, sobs, and trembling vibratoes all came out!

Da Lei in the mirror stopped his movements and looked at him a little bewildered, with the impression that this fat man was crying so sadly five years ago! Da Lei wanted to pat the fat man on the shoulder, but as soon as his hand touched him, it naturally penetrated it.

Alas...... Da Lei sighed in his heart.

"Brother..."Xiao Hai cried thickly: "You...... Are you dead? Otherwise, I can only see you in the mirror! This... Is this your soul? Woooooooo

Da Lei in the mirror was stunned at first, and he couldn't cry or laugh. Then he shook his head resolutely, his head shaking like a rattle.

Seeing this, Xiao Hai relieved his heart, and he gradually calmed down.

"Brother...."Xiao Hai wiped his tears, lowered his head and endured sorrow and said: "From the beginning of this road, our brothers are like entering a ghost gate!" Experiencing so many weird and bizarre things, each of which is like a dream, can drive people crazy! I'm timid by nature, and I'm naturally scared when I encounter these things, but I never back down. Because you're here. ”

He raised his head and looked in the mirror, and Da Lei behind him had a guilty look on his face.

"From childhood to adulthood, no matter who I was bullied by, you took the lead for me in front of me, left me with good food, and left me with good clothes... How to say it, you are like a dependent, no matter when something happens, I will feel at ease when I think of you. Even in such an environment, as long as you are there, I will not complain about anything....... I don't have much culture, I don't know how to express myself. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Hai's eyes dimmed again, he didn't see Da Lei in the mirror, and his eyes were also red.

"Alas..."Sighing, Xiao Hai continued: "But during this time, I survived by myself. A more terrible thing in the world than death is loneliness. Elder brother... I'm afraid that one day I'll lose my ability to speak. Even so, I found that I could cope with many things on my own, and many things didn't seem so scary. If you don't rely on anything, you won't back down from anything. You know, I sometimes wonder if this is just a dream? I really hope that when I wake up, I can see Aunt Xiang's fierce face, point at me and say, 'I'm lazy and sleeping!' Then serve a bowl of hot porridge. Or, you and I have gone crazy and are still unable to walk in the desert, and these are just illusions that we have generated...... Hahahaha. ”

Xiao Hai couldn't help but raise his head and smirk, and Da Lei behind him frowned.

"Seeing you again this time made me realize what it means to be a 'brother as a father'. In fact, a person can survive no matter what, no matter how difficult it is. It's just that as soon as I see my father and see the person I admire the most, everything becomes insignificant, and everything can go back to zero. ”

After a pause, Xiao Hai said: "I'm back to zero now, a blank. ”

Da Lei's face was complicated, he bit his lower lip tightly, his shoulders trembled a little, and he wanted to say something but it was difficult to express it. After a while, he shook his head and smiled weakly at Xiao Hai.

"One more thing......" Xiao Hai looked embarrassed and said a little embarrassed: "Actually, the chocolate thing.... I didn't keep it private. When I first set off from home, I secretly brought it with you, thinking that you would definitely not agree. I'm just going to save it until the last minute to eat. But it was supposed to be five chocolates, but I lost three on the way! I didn't dare to tell you, because I was afraid that you would scold me......"

Xiao Hai's voice became smaller and smaller, he lowered his head and glanced at Da Lei from time to time.

Da Lei opened his mouth, although there was no sound, Xiao Hai understood the shape of his lips.

He said, "Silly boy. ”

A huge amount of light shrouded the ground, but it could only be refracted through the tiny window into a corner of the tower, and tens of thousands of gray particles of different shapes swirled in circles in the light, like a churning and slow wave, circulating without stopping. Time froze, even the darkness was gentle, its deep appearance contained the joys and sorrows of the world, the secrets of the ages, the two parallel lines that could not be communicated, and the long talk in the deserted situation. Accommodate every sentence of Xiaohai's outpouring and Da Lei's listening to every word. Perhaps it is only at this moment that it can be so merciful.

The sun rotated with time, it moved slowly, and the light slowly changed its position, when it shone on the mirror, it reflected back, the dazzling light made Xiao Hai suddenly close his eyes, and Da Lei's figure was instantly submerged in a white vast.

When I opened it again, it was all small black dots that jumped and jumped, and they flickered violently, and then gradually became transparent. But I no longer see the shadow of Da Lei.

The morning meeting expected this, and Xiaohai was not much disappointed.

He knew that his brother must be by his side.

He walked to the top of the stairs and looked up at the last attic, which was a dark mass full of unknowns.

There must be some secret, there must be something. A pair of invisible hands led him here, and since this was the case, he couldn't go back. And there is no way back.

Xiao Hai had a hunch that everything here was related to that woman.

What's really going on here?

If you don't walk past, you'll never know.

Xiao Hai took a breath and lifted his foot.

"Squeak."

The shrill wheezing of planks sounded in the dim darkness.

The refracted light was completely gone, and it was gray again.
