Volume 7, Chapter 33: The Lonely Grave
The day Xiao Ruo woke up was the eighth day we came back. By that time, her complexion had been much better. After feeding her, I went to the garden on the top of the building by myself and took a nap on a wicker chair.
I'm still immersed in the nightmare of Yaya's death.
Almost everyone saw that I was abnormal, but I didn't bother to explain it.
Liu Xin came to me with a lot of business matters.
I just told him to keep things safe.
I grew my company to fight against Rocker. But now it seems that this has not helped me as much as I thought.
I'm very lazy about doing business, and now that it's over, I don't have the motivation to care about those gains and losses, which doesn't have much to do with me.
Today is the 6th of June, and in 12 days, I will go back to the Mongolian steppe to finish my last business. Things on earth have nothing to do with me from now on.
I just thought about it, in order to avoid a conflict of interest in the company after my "death", I asked Liu Xin to bring a pen and paper and write a note.
Since the early morning of June 19, the equity of our company has been divided into two, half to Liu Xin and half to Xiaoruo.
These two people are the closest people I am to at the moment. Liu Xin has been with me for so many years, and this half of the equity will naturally be given to him.
He looked at the property division agreement, looked at me puzzled, and asked, "Boss, what are you doing here?" ”
I didn't explain, closed my eyes and continued to bask in the sun.
There is also an agreement in her hand, which is to be given to Xiao Ruo, or to her parents. Although the child is over 18 years old and the contract she signed has legal effect, she lacks social experience and is still very impulsive.
It seems that it is better to hand it over to her parents, and when she grows up, all these properties will naturally fall into her hands.
I opened my eyes again and said to Liu Xin, who was still stunned: "Give this to Xiao Ruo's parents." ”
He nodded, and walked down with the agreement in my hand.
I squinted my eyes, staring at the sun in the blue sky, I don't know how long I've been here, do you want to go down and take a look at Xiao Ruo?
As he thought so, he heard the sound of clattering footsteps coming from the top of the stairs.
A female voice shouted with some excitement: "Mr. Tong, Miss Xiaoruo, is she awake?" ”
"Awake?" I opened my eyes suddenly, jumped up from the wicker chair, and turned my head to see that the person who called me just now was the nurse who took care of Xiao Ruo.
"Got it!" I answered and trotted straight downstairs from her.
In the cozy bedroom, another doctor stood helplessly in the doorway with his eyes rolled.
I didn't ask, and went straight into Xiao Ruo's bedroom.
Empty!
Not a single one.
The quilt had been lifted, it was still hot, but the shoes were gone.
"What about people?" I yelled.
The doctor handed me a note, sighed, and said, "Let's go!" ”
I was stunned again, and there was a familiar handwriting on it: Xiaoruo's writing.
She writes:
Brother Yu Tong, today is June 6th. Thank you for taking care of me these days. Tomorrow is the seventh day, and if you want to take the college entrance examination. So today I'm going back to school. On the 8th, remember to pick me up at the entrance of the test center. The entrance of the eighth middle school.
On the back of the note, a round face is drawn with a pair of nice little dimples.
After the emoji, there are two small characters written in Juan Xiu: Xiao Ruo.
I couldn't help but laugh. At the same time, he also secretly scolded himself for being confused, and he forgot this most important day for Xiaoruo.
College Entrance Examination!
A nightmare for all high school students, and a gantry for all high school students!
A dragon gate like a carp jumping over a dragon gate.
Jumping through this door, the fish becomes a dragon.
But I don't think so.
A proud girl like Xiao Ruo is a dragon herself, and she is still a dragon whether she jumps or not.
……
On the night of the 7th, I sat alone on the balcony with a chair and looked in the direction of the school.
"She can't lose sleep tonight......"
I couldn't help but think so.
Because of my affairs, Xiaoruo delayed a lot of study time, but it didn't affect her grades too much. Of course, to say that it doesn't have an impact at all is also false.
I'm not afraid that she won't do well in the exam, I'm just afraid that her body won't be able to hold up.
Her body had just recovered and couldn't withstand too much tossing.
The starry sky tonight is very beautiful, there are not many clouds in the sky, the transparency of the atmosphere is very good, and the stars are very many and very bright. It's like seeing it on the Tibetan Plateau, it's an illusion...... The sky is very close to itself.
The moon has also risen, and today is the thirteenth day of the lunar calendar, and the moon is completely round in only three days.
The moonlight was also very bright, but it didn't affect the starry sky in the slightest.
In the garden, there are several varieties of moon seasons. This is one of my favorite flowers.
In addition to the moon season, there are also chrysanthemums, which are the flowers that Yaya likes. Of course, she used to grow chrysanthemums herself, and that was to make tea.
At this time, the naturally growing chrysanthemums have not yet opened, but the months and seasons are different. It's basically open all year round.
The silver moonshine, like milk, is smeared on the petals of the moon flower, and it is really indescribably beautiful.
It's hot in June, but it's still cooler at night.
I was lying under the grape trellis, wondering when the grapes would be eaten, should I send them to Yaya?
A ball of paper flew up from downstairs and smashed right in my face.
I'm confused! At this time, who is so bold as to dare to throw paper balls at me?
Liu Xin naturally didn't dare, and the gardener in the villa didn't dare, could it be Xiaoruo?
Is this little girl coming back from school?
I took the ball of paper from my nose and was about to get up and look downstairs, only to see that it was written.
Stuffy gourd?
That was my first thought.
Opening the paper ball, Juanxiu's font came into my sight.
Above the nine heavens, it was like a thunderbolt, and my ears were buzzing. I just felt like my mouth was dry, and something was about to come out of my body.
He threw the paper ball on the chaise longue, turned around and picked up the water in the goldfish pond, poured it on his face, and washed his face with cold water.
The cold water droplets sobered me up a bit, and I really couldn't believe my eyes.
The handwriting on the paper just now turned out to be ...... It's Yaya's! A font that I couldn't be more familiar with. Yaya's handwriting is very individual, and ordinary people can't imitate it at all, even those great calligraphers may not be able to write her font.
I thought I was dazzled, but when I reopened the paper, it was still in the familiar font: Zhuo, will you be my colt?
"Yaya, is that you?" I couldn't help but shout.
But no one answered me.
Yaya!
I shouted again.
Around the villa, the original voices were silent at this time, and the whole world became deathly silent, and it seemed that I was the only one.
"Yaya! If it's really you, can you just come out for a while? Yaya! ”
I jumped onto the guardrail and scanned the surroundings of the villa.
Suddenly, I saw a shadow flickering in the alley outside the door, and then disappeared.
Yaya?
I didn't have time to think about it, so I summoned the Miao Knife and flew over.
The man's shadow is so fast. I think, definitely not from this earth, otherwise how could she have such a fast speed?
"Yaya!" shouted loudly, but the other party still didn't have any reaction.
Is she mad at me?
The surrounding scenery roared and retreated. Soon, the street lights disappeared, and the surrounding area was unusually dark, and countless wild grasses appeared.
My villa was already in the suburbs, and now I run like this, and I will soon be in the wilderness.
I fell to the ground. It's all white flowers. …… A perennial herb that especially loves to grow on graves.
This is a very bad sign.
The guy I was chasing disappeared here...... I'm beginning to suspect that she's not a girl. But I still didn't leave, I wanted to see what motives the other party had for luring me here.
With the Miao knife in my hand, I walked a few steps cautiously and saw a bamboo pole, and on the bamboo pole was the floating grave paper hung on the Qingming Festival.
There really is a grave here!
And it's the kind of cemetery that hasn't been planned.
I stopped, held my breath, and caught the sounds around me.
Soon, just behind the white flowers and grass on the left, I heard the sound of human breathing, which was very heavy and very unstable, and the other party seemed to be trying his best to endure what kind of pain.
I picked up the white flowers and grass and walked cautiously.
Over here...... There's a new grave! A new grave that has just been buried.
And a man is standing in front of a tombstone, bowing his head in silence.
This person's age looks a little old, but with just one back, the judgment is not very accurate.
This picture is a bit beyond my imagination.
He was silent, and I didn't speak, because it was disrespectful to the dead.
"You're finally here......" After a long time, the man finally spoke, and his voice was so weak and old. It's a man.
I heard it in my ears, and it felt familiar.
I thought about it for a while, but I didn't remember who the other party was.
I didn't know what he had brought me here for, so I frowned and looked at the brand-new tombstone.
There was no light, but because the moonlight was bright, the words on the tombstone could still be seen. The shadows of several thatches were cast on the tombstones, indescribably desolate.
From my point of view, the words on the tombstone are all small words, saying things like the year of birth and the year of death, and I don't see the name of the owner of the tomb.
I moved my steps slightly, changed positions, and finally saw the big words in the middle of the tombstone:
The tomb of the beloved girl.
The head exploded at this time!
It turned out to be Yaya's burial place?
I staggered over, walked past the man, climbed the tombstone, knelt down, tears blurred my eyes once more.
I said who stole Yaya's body, it turns out that she has been buried here.
"Beloved daughter?" I muttered these two words, it was Yaya's father who had removed her body.
Then the person behind me is Dulwich.
He...... He actually came to Earth in person.
The word "Yaya" is our language, which means wisdom, and it is Yaya's name, not the name we call it in private. So it is not abrupt to appear on the tombstone at this time.
The dew was heavy and soon soaked through my clothes.
I stood up, turned around, and looked at the person in front of me.
His old voice sounded slowly: "My daughter is dead, how should this account be calculated?" ”
I shook my head, not because I didn't want to say anything, but because my mind was already haggard.
"I only have such a daughter, you know how much I love her, and now she is dead, and she died in a foreign land at a young age. I want her to come back to life. ”
"It's impossible!" The pain in my heart caused by Yaya's death was no weaker than his, and of course I also wanted to bring Yaya back to life. But I also know very well that people cannot be resurrected after death, and Yaya is completely dead. Without the protection of the refrigerated cabin, her body will soon decay, and even if the Great Luo Immortal descends to earth, he will not be able to save her. If her body hadn't already decomposed, it would have been possible to be resurrected.
A flash of fierceness flashed in Dulwich's eyes: "I know what you're thinking right now. But have you forgotten something else? Time travel! ”
Slightly stunned, he quickly understood what he meant.
If I could successfully travel back in time and stop the red-headed bee from infecting her, she wouldn't have died.
Although in this plane, she would still die. But because of my intervention, I changed the cause and effect. That will create a parallel time and space, and in that time and space, Yaya is alive. At this time, I just need to bring Yaya from that parallel time and space.
Although I didn't bring the dead girl now, she is still a girl after all.
In the plane I went to, Yaya was just missing, and no one would find her.
The idea was really exciting, but I shook my head and said, "In this universe, no one has ever been able to successfully travel back in time and space. ”
"You're wrong!" He looked at me sharply, "That's because no one is willing to sacrifice." ”
"Looks like you're crazy too! A madman like Luoke! ”
He smiled grimly: "As long as Yaya can come back to me, why not be crazy?" The reason why they failed to travel through time and space was because they only wanted to bring what they wanted from another time and space, thus destroying the balance of mass and energy in that time and space, and eventually leading to the collapse of the entire time and space! So there is no way for them to return to the current plane. And now, I just want you to go over and replace Yaya. ”
"This doesn't make up for the balance of quality and energy! Yaya and I are two completely different people. ”
"But it's better than having no one to replace you. If there is no one to replace her, the girl you brought with her will be kicked back to her original plane. ”
"What if I don't come back in that plane?" I looked up at him and asked, "Why did I bring her back when she was all over there?" ”
"You'll be back!" He said coldly, "If you don't come back, you're going to have to kill yourself on that plane." But you also know how hard it is to kill yourself. ”
I was silent.
"Think about it!"
Time and space are always a complex issue. I don't know if what he said is true or false, but as far as I know, there is no example of a successful time travel in this universe. And the reason, naturally, is not as simple as he said: to destroy the balance of mass and energy in the original time and space.
