The smoke moved with the wind, and most of it was blocked by the dense canopy of trees in front of me, and it was impossible to see where it came from for a while.

"Which direction?" As I walked briskly, I turned around and asked Xiao Rong.

Xiao Rong hesitated for a moment and replied, "It seems to be the tall building that entered the door." ”

I wanted to ask him if he knew how to get there, but then I thought that he had come in along the bush with me, and I certainly didn't know what was going on in the garden, so I didn't ask. Besides, there is only one path under our feet, and we have no choice.

Walking along the stone path, through the banana forest and a chaotic stone wall, I saw a five-cornered plum blossom pavilion standing at the water's edge.

The water was cloudy brown, not like cinnabar. There were water lilies on the surface of the water, but they had withered and stood on their feet in the mud. There was an acacia tree planted next to the pavilion, which grew so fiercely that it almost covered half of the pavilion. Take a closer look, there is a plaque on the pavilion, which reads "Leaky Pavilion", which is pleasing to the eye.

As you follow the cobblestone road at the water's edge, you will soon come across a stone arch bridge. On the other side of the bridge, in the midst of lush greenery, I happened to see a corner of the tall building in front of me, and I saw that I was in the right direction, so I decisively chose to walk from the bridge.

This stone arch bridge has three holes and is built beautifully. The deck of the bridge is paved with huge stone slabs, and on either side there are two rows of stone railings carved with lotus heads. I was just walking on the bridge, and suddenly, I looked at my feet, and that inexplicable feeling of familiarity came again.

I couldn't help but froze, and my footsteps stopped in place.

What's going on? Have I ever been here?

How is this possible?!

I scratched my head and began to feel particularly puzzled and suspicious. But I was still convincing myself that the scenery of gardens in this world is similar, and maybe it was when I walked around a park in the past that I walked across a similar bridge, so I felt familiar.

But then I realized that it was not the bridge that was the problem, but the stone railings carved on both sides of the bridge......

"Brother Yang!"

I was thinking about the problem when Xiao Rong suddenly called me. I looked back at him and saw him pointing to the sky.

I asked what was wrong, and looked in the direction of his finger, and in the distance, I saw that in the direction of the tall building, the red signal smoke of Dadong was gone!

When I saw this, I suddenly had a bad premonition in my heart. I thought to myself, the signal smoke in the girl's big burden can burn for an hour, but why is this smoke gone before it burns for five minutes? Could it be that the girl bought an inferior product? Probably not.

Thinking about it again, after the signal smoke is lit, Dadong definitely can't predict when we will see the smoke, so eighty percent of them are waiting for us in place while putting the signal. But the signal is suddenly gone, what does it mean?

Is there something urgent about them?

The thought of this made me chuckle and I immediately became nervous. "Hurry, hurry! Something must have happened! "I urged Xiao Rong to leave quickly. Then, almost at a trot, the two men ran in the direction of the tall building.

Beyond a large area of dense beech trees, the empty atrium appears as soon as you enter the garden gate. I pushed aside the bushes and stepped into the atrium anew, and when I looked up, I saw that the tall building was in front of me, and it was far more majestic and tall than I had imagined, almost comparable to the ancient palace.

The high-rise building has two floors, about twenty or thirty meters, and the pedestal alone is more than one meter high. The huge mountain eaves fly up in the air, and there are bronze wind chimes hanging on the eaves corners. I saw that there was a horizontal plaque on the front eaves, and the inscription "Jiaxiu Building" was three big characters. There are more than ten white marble gold pillars erected under the eaves, each of which is carved with complex patterns, which is very gorgeous.

As I approached, I glanced around casually and saw a fluffy, black mass by the door and under the pillar, much like the kind of camel droppings I had almost stepped on on on a trip to Xinjiang. But the one in front of me is obviously bigger, and the texture is not quite the same, it should not be made by camels, I sneered in my heart, if this place really has camels, it will be magical!

However, I didn't have the heart to dwell on these details at the moment, so I pushed open the half-hidden door, stepped over a heavy feldspar threshold, and walked into the building.

As soon as his body entered the room, a wave of yin qi and dust came to his face. I squinted my eyes and fanned my hand so I could see clearly.

I saw that behind the main entrance was a large hall, the four walls of the hall were painted with white ash, perhaps because of the relationship over the years, and some small cracks could be seen on the wall. There are four stone pillars in the hall, and two rows of circle chairs are placed on the left and right with coffee tables.

At the top of the hall is a large square table with two Taishi chairs on either side of the table, and a picture of chrysanthemums hanging on the wall.

Flower tables, desks, porcelain vases...... Everything here looks so calm and ordinary. I can't help but say, this scene is too much of Hong's courtyard, just the appearance looks huge, in fact, these ornaments and calligraphy and paintings inside, not as neat as my things look neat, it's really unexpected.

"Dadong......" I put my hand to my mouth and shouted softly, but no one responded to me.

The ground was covered with a layer of dust, and countless footprints had already been stepped on into flowers, and it was impossible to see who was who.

There is a wooden staircase to the left of the main hall that leads to the second floor. On the one hand, I wondered if Dadong would be on it, but on the other hand, I was very skeptical of this conjecture. Because number one, it's so quiet! If that group of nearly twenty people were all crowded upstairs, how could there be no movement at all? Second, the dust on the stairs is intact, did they fly up?

I was thinking about the problem in my head, and at this time, Xiao Rong suddenly came over and patted me.

"Brother Yang, there's something there."

When I heard this, my heart trembled, and I was very worried that something was going to happen, so I immediately looked in the direction of his finger. In the distance, I saw a small white square on the square table under the chrysanthemum picture.

It was so far away that I couldn't see what it was for a while. When I got a little closer, I realized that it was a note.

I was taken aback. There will be such a thing in this place, how can it be that Jing Lianhong left it. I immediately rushed to check it, and saw a neatly folded piece of horizontally striped letter paper with a short pen pressed on it.

I picked up both things, and without thinking about it, I spread out the note in my hand, and when I saw it, there was a row of small words written on it:

We're gone, don't look for it. Remember: you have to go back indoors before dusk.

What does that mean? My brain "buzzed", and countless question marks popped up.

Dadong they are gone?

Where did it go?

Is something going on? Or did they have to evacuate immediately in an emergency? I had a mess in my head.

Xiao Rong walked up to me, I handed him the note, and he also showed a puzzled expression when he read it.

"Brother Yang, did Dadong tell you what plans he has?"

"Nope!" I shook my head, "Even if he had a plan, he wouldn't have told me everything, and we're guessing it's all for naught." ”

"Maybe he deliberately dumped us?" Xiao Rong said, furrowing his brows.

I thought to myself, what can he do in this garden, and he has to carry us both behind his back?

But on second thought, it's not impossible.

Although I like to be simple and pure, it doesn't mean that I don't have the eye to see people. Everyone who enters this garden actually has their own purpose, and no one is a hot-blooded fool who comes here purely for the spring outing. Even Xiao Rong, who was fooled by me, I don't know much about him. Therefore, it is really hard to say whether Dadong will really get rid of us and run away.

So the question arises again, what exactly should we do now?

Dadong left a message saying that I should "not look for it", how is this possible? But if we want to find it, which direction should we take?

Damn it! Why do you have to be so mysterious? Won't they reveal more?

Holding the note, I jumped to my feet in a hurry, and at this moment, as if struck by a bolt of lightning, a strange thought suddenly flashed through my head - I don't know why, looking at the slip on the note, I always felt that this font was so familiar?

…… No, I don't think I've seen the words written by Dadong! This font is beautiful, is it the girl's handwriting?

…… No, it's not right either! I've seen the girl's handwriting, it's just a row of numbers on that phone number, and it's impossible to say it's familiar.

Thinking of this, I read every word on the note twice, and the feeling of familiarity became more and more obvious, even so familiar that it seemed as if I had seen it not long ago......

"Fuck me!"

I cursed, my eyes widening. Almost as soon as I had a flash of inspiration, I suddenly remembered where I had seen it!

Each of these pens and charms is exactly the same as the words in my mother's notepad!

This note was written by my mother!

Holding the old ink pen and staring at the note, I was so excited that I almost cried. I felt as if I was getting closer and closer to someone who had been gone from my life for fifteen years, almost within reach.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked back at Xiao Rong nervously and excitedly, and was about to tell him about it, when I was stunned for a moment......

Is it my delusion or something? Why do you suddenly feel that the floor under your feet is shaking?

I immediately shifted my steps and stood in a different place, and the trembling sensation was still there. It was like a train passing through the tracks, and even the tiny particles of dust and sand on the floor were jumping.

For a while, a large amount of dust kept falling from the floor on the second floor. I didn't know what was going on, I froze in place, the expression on my face completely frozen. Before he could react, a sound like thunder came from all directions of the hall.

"Giggles......

With a creepy sound, the tall building seemed to let out a low roar.

I was stunned and hurriedly covered my ears......
