"Oh......" The old man picked up the photo and squinted his eyes for a moment.

I stared nervously at him, waiting for his final answer. Countless speculations rushed into my head again, and I felt like every second was being stretched infinitely.

"This is your mom and her lab students." He replied.

"Learn ...... Student? I exclaimed, "Then this man, is his name Li Dongxue?" ”

"I don't remember the name, but it's really your mother's student. You see, this was taken in the school research room. As he spoke, the old man pointed to the background of the photo.

Hearing this, I froze in place. Suddenly, countless clues began to entangle in my mind, and after a while, I was completely confused. Many times I imagined in my mind that he was a swordsman, an explorer, and a bounty hunter...... But I never thought he was actually my mother's student!

I scratched my head, thinking to myself that the more this happened, the less I could get agitated. I need to be calm.

I tried to calm down and try to find the crux of the problem.

In fact, since I came out of the "door", I have been guessing some kind of "possibility", and now when the clues slowly converge, everything at the moment is just a confirmation of my own thoughts. So I was only puzzled, but not surprised.

Dadong, sure enough, he entered the "Tuli Gate" with my parents!

He really stayed in the door for 15 years!

But that's not 15 years in the real sense, according to my guess, the explanation should be like this: if the speed of time in the door is different from the reality, one day in the door is equal to one month in reality, then the 15 years I think are actually just more than 6 months for Dadong in the door.

Fifteen years may be a long time, but more than six months is not a long time for a person. It is precisely because of this that he still looks like a young man, so that I didn't even expect him to have a connection with my parents when I didn't know about it.

(If so, isn't entering that door equivalent to taking the elixir?) It's okay to sneak around the door, and when you come out, everyone is old, but you are still young, what a miracle it must be! …… No, no, no, I shook my head and told myself that now was not the time to think about it. ）

Now I know that Dadong is my mother's student, but what is the relationship between them? Is it a partner? But what did he do in the door? Why didn't my mother say a word about Dadong? Even Grandpa doesn't know about him?

Could my mom be hiding something?

And the female corpse in the forest, who is she? And the person Dadong has been insisting on looking for, will it be my parents?

Did he find some traces?

One problem is solved, but thousands of problems are piled up in front of you. I felt like I was going crazy and my head was a mess......

Suddenly, I thought of the girl again.

I thought that Dadong had made a deal with the girl to escort them back to the cave, and the girl had to do something for Dadong. The girl refused to tell me what the hell was going on, but now that I think about it, that may be the crux of the matter!

Everything seemed to be slowly being uncovered by my own hands, which made me feel both flustered and excited.

I thought to myself, I've got to find a girl......

Immediately! Right away!

I can't afford to eat at the moment, so I can't wait to call the girl when I get back to my room. As soon as the phone was connected, I started scolding in my heart, only to hear a gentle female voice coming from the receiver - "The phone you dialed is empty."

This girl is really good at playing the trick of forgetting the fish. I muttered, and without much thought, immediately called Turkey and asked him to ask his cousin, who works at a telecommunications company, to look up a phone number that has been cancelled.

The turkey said no, no, this thing is not in accordance with the regulations, and it is not easy to do. I was in a hurry and threatened him to return my trumpet and the "40-layer Blood Drinking Sword" if he couldn't do it! When the turkey heard this, he immediately coaxed and agreed.

In the two days I was waiting for the news of the turkey, I kept looking at the information in my hand and went through the matter in my head several times. Unfortunately, I couldn't decipher the new information, but I vaguely felt that there was something strange about the whole thing, but I couldn't tell for a while.

At noon that day, when I had nothing to do, I took out the folding kettle that Xiao Rong had brought back to me and walked to my yard. There is a photo wall in the courtyard, and behind the light wall is a patio. In the past, my dad found someone to show him feng shui, and put a bluestone lotus fish tank in the patio, saying that it was to gather wealth.

I opened the lid of the kettle and put the fish inside into the tank with the water. The heart said that the fish was dead anyway, so get it out and throw it away as soon as possible, it won't be good if it rots in the pot. At this moment, I was startled when I heard the "clang" in the fish tank, and I opened the yellow lotus leaves to see two black things sinking at the bottom of the fish tank.

What is that? Is it fish?

The bottom of the bluestone jar was black, and the water was rippling, so I couldn't see it clearly. After thinking about it, he rolled up his sleeves and reached into the water to touch it. I only felt that my fingertips touched a hard thing, and when I fished it out, it turned out to be two fish-shaped stones?

I wiped it with a towel, and I saw that although the surface of the fish stone was rough, the shape of the fish was very complete. You can see that the mouth of the fish is open, and even the eyes of the fish are clearly visible. I was stunned, what, could it be that the fish turned to stone after it died?

I weighed it and found that it should be a common limestone, and when I smashed it with other stones, there were jade-like blue crystals in the center of the stone.

I was figuring out what to do with the broken stone, when my phone rang suddenly. Connected the phone and said "Hey", only to hear a female voice as crisp as a silver bell from the other end of the phone. As soon as I heard this, I was suddenly excited.

"Girl?!"

"Yo, Xiaoyangzi, I haven't seen you for a few days, this voice sounds quite energetic, do you miss this palace?"

"Where are you?" I hurriedly asked.

"Guess."

"Stop playing, I really have something important to look for you!" I couldn't help but exclaim, "Anyway, this time you have to tell me what the hell is the big thing to ask you to do!" ”

The girl was silent for a moment.

I was in a hurry, and I wanted to urge her, so I heard her ask, "Is your grandfather at home?" ”

"He's gone, he's gone for a walk." I said, "...... What's wrong? ”

"I'll tell you, hey," the girl sighed, "Dadong asked me to bring five words to your grandfather." ”

I was stunned when I heard it. Five words for my grandfather? …… What five words? But before I could ask, I heard the girl say, "......'Jing Zhen is still alive'." ”

For a moment, I felt like a thunderbolt exploded above my head.

I clearly knew the reason for my shock - Jing Zhen, that was my dad's name.

"I'm at your door right now, open the door."

My brain seemed to have lost its command, and when I heard the girl say this, I was still stunned. It took me a long time to slowly wake up from my shock. Hang up the phone, I went to open the door for the girl, today she is dressed very brightly, as soon as she enters the door, she walks in without seeing the outside, and sits on my grandfather's Huanghuali circle chair.

I poured her tea, and I listened to her babble, but I didn't hear a word of what she said.

My head went blank. I'm thinking, is it true that my dad is still alive? How am I feeling at this moment? Why do I sit here like a fool and listen to a girl's nonsense after I get this kind of news? What should I do? What is the right thing to prioritize first?

I emptied my head and tried to pretend that my parents had crashed on a plane and that all the people on board were dead. Then 15 years later, one day, suddenly a phone call came out of the plane, and the person on the phone told me that my dad was still alive...... If that's the case, what should I do?

When I think about it, I suddenly understand. I stood up and stared at the girl, who seemed to be frightened by my grim expression, and fell silent and looked at me in surprise.

"I want to go to that 'door' again," I looked at her, "can you help me?" ”

When I said this, the girl's eyes widened in surprise.

After a moment, she smiled......
