— 1 year later —

There is a jade pendant left under the stone statue of the tomb on the right side of the giant stone gate, and if it weren't for the light of my flashlight that happened to shine on it, we wouldn't have noticed its existence at all.

Ling Xin picked it up and wiped the dust off it with a cloth, and then she was stunned.

At the same time, Professor Xia was also stunned, his mouth opened wide to reveal that he had no intention of closing.

The piece of white jade that Ling Xin was holding in his hand was warm in texture, translucent, and as colored as mutton fat. The rope of the white jade pendant has been covered with dust, and it cannot be removed for a while, and it is difficult to distinguish the original color of the rope.

"Isn't this my jade pendant? How could it be in this thousand-year-old tomb! Lingxin was surprised. At this time, Professor Xia also looked embarrassed, and he seemed to know something from this.

"Lingxin, how could your jade pendant appear in this thousand-year-old tomb? There's obviously a lot of dust on it, and we've never been here. "I questioned. However, her frightened look made me feel that this matter was not so simple.

"That's right! This jade pendant was indeed given to Ling Xin by me, I can confirm that. Professor Xia took the jade pendant from Ling Xin's hand and confirmed after looking at it repeatedly.

Listening to their words, I shook my head vigorously at this unconventional thing.

"Look!" Ling Xin took out a notebook from his backpack, "My signature on this notebook is exactly the same as the word 'heart' engraved on this jade pendant. I engraved this letter, and I don't recognize my own handwriting? - I didn't see it today, I thought this jade pendant had been in my backpack all along. ”

Indeed, the word "heart" engraved on the jade pendant and the signature on the notebook are exactly the same, which makes us think about it very carefully.

A week ago

"Jingle Bell ~ Jingle Bell ~"

"Overslept again!" I reached out and touched the alarm clock that was ringing, and took a look at it.

After a brief wash, I put on my shirt and headed to the store. Along the way, I wondered if I was going to be hungry again this month.

Last month, there were very few customers, and basically did not sell a single item more than 100 yuan. At such a difficult time, my father chose to go far away, so the store was supported by myself.

Because of the resurgence of that story last night, I couldn't sleep, so I got up and stayed up all night fighting the few Feng Shui books my father left me, trying to divert my attention.

If I didn't sleep like I did in that story, I don't think I would have to suffer much. However, my talent is not that I have extraordinary energy, but that I can see everything clearly at night when I can't see my fingers.

When I opened the store, I used to flip up the "Open" sign.

It's been a year, and I've been looking forward to that voice: handsome guy, do you take orders?

The morning passed quickly. At noon, after I ordered takeout to eat, I sat at the counter, holding my chin in both hands and staring out of the store in a daze.

I don't know how long it took for a familiar figure to come into my field of vision. I noticed it when she was across the street from the road.

Seeing this, I shook my head in disbelief and rubbed my eyes vigorously.

Yes, she's the girl in my story.

She walked slowly towards my shop, but her expression was extremely serious, just like the one in the story.

The moment she walked through my door, my heart was in my throat. I tried my best to think about what to say to her or how to go up and give her a tight hug.

However, for her, we had never met, and if I did, I would most likely have been slapped in the face, and probably not again.

"Excuse me, is Master Moriki here?" When she entered, she inquired about me.

She opened with this sentence in a way that I wouldn't have even thought I would have ever thought about. It is not at all the same plot as the plot in the story.

"You're Xia Lingxin, right!" I didn't answer her question directly, but wanted to make sure she just looked like her in my story.

"What a miracle! Looks like I've come to the right place this time. She laughs. She smiled, but her serious face soon reappeared. From her answer, we can know that Lingxin is her name, and I can say her name, which makes her feel that I still have two strokes.

At this time, I remembered a saying: The farthest distance in the world is when I stand beside you, but you are a stranger to me. These words are just right to describe my current mood.

"Yes, if you came a month earlier." I regretfully said, "But he's my father." If you have something, I can help too, it's all the same. ”

"You ......" she looked at me quizzically, her tone not knowing whether to express surprise or contempt.

"Yes, I can't do it except to be myself; If he can do anything else, I can do it too...... Or do it better than he did. "I seem to be very unsure of wanting to confirm it. Although my voice stammered a little, I tried desperately to hide my panicked expression.

She was silent for a few seconds, a wicked smile on her lips. Then, she looked me up and down and nodded slightly.

"Hello, my name is Xia Lingxin. I'm from out of town. I came here because my father's archaeology department was in dire need of a master who was well versed in mountain geography. Coincidentally, Master Moriki's ancient art is well-known in various regions. After introducing herself, she explained the purpose of her visit.

"Hello, my name is Senmo, just call me Sen-I think maybe you need someone who can carry a duffel bag." I gave her a light on my biceps and said.

"How can you reach him?" She didn't pay any attention to me, but decided that she would not give up until she found my father.

"This ......" it was actually embarrassing, and I withdrew my smile trying to please her, trying to make myself as calm and less pretentious, "I lost contact with him a month ago—he would never tell me where he was. ”

It's okay not to mention this kind of thing, but when I mention it, I am no longer calm, and it is difficult to hide my lost and sad expression.

"I'm sorry, Sen. I don't know what is going on - if I can't find him for a while, maybe I can go back and offer you to come with us. She reassured.

"Really?" I was surprised.

"Hmmm! Sen, here's my contact information, you sweep it. She handed me her phone.

"Do you like Hello kitty?" I asked, glancing at her avatar.

"Yes." She replied. She cherishes words like gold, which makes me feel that if you want to melt her ice beauty, I am afraid that the firewood of a mountain is not enough.

......

......

Three days later, I received a ticket from her. Following the route she had given me, I came to an inaccessible desert on the northern border, and finally met her. The person who traveled with her was, as I expected, her father, Professor Xia, exactly like the image in the story.

......

......

While dodging a sudden sandstorm, we took refuge in a dirt hole. As expected, the earth cave collapsed; Luckily, we escaped. Finally, we walked down the tunnel to the stone gate where we are now.
