Chapter 45: Falling Flowers

The thunderclouds in the sky gradually dispersed, the wind that had been howling for half a night became clearer, and the desolate graveyard was quiet again.

Two magpies poked their heads out of the nest in the tree all night and tilted their heads to observe their surroundings.

A male voice suddenly sounded at the edge of their nest, and the next two birds retracted into their nest again, shivering.

Without the interference of the wind blowing the leaves, the man's voice spoke much clearer, and he asked lightly, "The story is over, is there anything else you want to tell me?" ”

No one answered his question, only a few leaves fluttering to the ground with a small sound.

Seeing that no one answered, the man added.

"Tell me if you have anything now, maybe I can help you, and after a while I may not be in the same good mood as I am now."

When he said this, his tone was still flat, without any ups and downs, and it didn't sound like the kind of concern expressed in his words, but a little regretful teasing.

The woman kneeling in the graveyard covered her lower abdomen, raised her head with difficulty, and smiled a little at the dark blue night sky above her head.

She still doesn't smile much, her expression looks very stiff, not at all as vivid and natural as a living person, but a bit like a woman who has had a lot of plastic surgery, and her whole face looks a little fake. But there was real joy in her eyes.

The torrential rain disappeared along with the dissipating dark clouds, and the air was filled with a fresh smell that was unique to the after-rain, making people feel refreshed after taking a deep breath.

A full silver-white moon hung high in the sky, sprinkling a cold moonlight, like a layer of silvery white autumn frost on the ground.

It seems like it's all over.

The woman looked at the sky for a moment before turning her head to look at the man jumping from the tree.

"I ......"

A breeze swept across the ends of her hair. She brought up a long strand of light hair that covered half of her scarred face.

The moment she opened her mouth, the dark clouds in the sky quickly gathered again. This time there was no wind or rain, only a bucket-thick red bolt of lightning that fell straight on the woman's head, and then splashed a large cloud of dirt and rubble.

The full moon quickly receded into the dark clouds. Gone.

Darkness returned to all around.

And the last words she said were mixed with the breeze, and drifted into the distance indistinctly.

Yue Yao curled up under the tree, shook her body again when the lightning flashed, and said two words in a nasal voice.

"Armin ......"

After finishing speaking, she lowered her chin again, laughed a few times "hehe", and muttered coquettishly: "But I'm afraid......"

She huddled in a huddled position as if she was trying to shrink the space her body occupies so that another person could hug her.

Her young face was filled with a happy smile. His cheeks were pink, and he didn't know what good things he had dreamed of again.

A moment later, the roar of thunder belatedly came, and the wind and the torrential rain appeared together like conjoined babies, and followed by the thunder and noise that descended on the desolate land, and once again covered the land.

At that moment of calm and calm, the moon and stars were like an illusion, as if they had never existed.

Ye Baiyu stood in the rain. Waiting for the smoke in the graveyard to dissipate, he sighed in a depressed mood. He tossed the cigarette butt aside.

"Silly girl, do you really think you've escaped? You know, those things are so disgusting, I have to give you some hope first, and then slap you hard when you're the happiest, and make you die as much aggrieved as you are. ”

The cemetery, where a woman was kneeling, has now become a flat field. Whether it's a woman's figure. The tombstone that originally stood there, or the grave bag behind the tombstone, has completely disappeared.

A large blackened mark was left on the ground, giving off some kind of disgusting smell.

The squiggling lightning strikes were retained on the ground, forming a neat circular pattern.

There was something shiny in the middle of the pattern.

Ye Baiyu walked over slowly. He crouched down in the center of the lightning mark, stared at something on the ground, and scratched his head in annoyance.

"Girl, I may not be able to fulfill your last request...... Hey, you see you've died twice, and you have to leave me such a big problem before you die. But I've said a lot of things before, and now I still have a request for you, if I don't help you, I'm still upset, what do you say? ”

No one answered his question, and the rain fell on him, quickly washing away the black lightning mark until it disappeared.

"Well, let's talk about it. I'll go back and ask you to see what they mean. If he had agreed, it would have been fine, and we would all have been happy; If he doesn't agree, it means that fate has not arrived, let's not force it, do you think it's okay? ”

At Ye Baiyu's feet, a red stone the size of a one-yuan coin sank into the mud, shining faintly under the rain.

"If you don't speak, I'll just let you agree."

Ye Baiyu stared down at the red stone at his feet, stretched out his finger and touched it lightly as he spoke.

The stone was cold, smooth and hard to the touch, like an ordinary pebble to the touch, but it was a little more delicate than an ordinary pebble.

"Then it's decided, what about me, go and ask you about it, this thing of yours is mine, how about it?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and said that the stone had been pulled out of the earth, and he held it up before his eyes and observed it for a while.

At first glance, the stone appears red, but if you look closely, you can see that it is actually a glass-like transparent shell, and the inside is filled with red liquid.

Gently shake it twice with your hand, and you can feel the liquid shaking inside.

The raindrops fell on the small stone of the prototype, slid down its smooth expression, and finally gathered together and landed on the ground.

Ye Baiyu squinted at the stone for a while, until the rain washed away all the soil on the stone, and then held the stone in his hand. Turn and walk under the tree at the edge of the cemetery.

"It's really troublesome to bring this little girl back......"

His voice didn't reach far in the storm, only spreading a little in a small area of the graveyard.

But no one could hear him anymore.

*********************************************************

When Xia Beifeng woke up, the first thing he saw was Yue Yao's sleeping face.

He froze for a moment, blinked a few times, and then jumped out of bed like a cat with its tail stepped on.

He turned his head and looked around, and saw Ye Baiyu sitting on the windowsill on the side. Teasing the birds outside the window, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master...... Can you stop playing with me? ”

"I didn't play with you." Ye Baiyu turned around and replied confidently: "Don't you know what you did yourself?" ”

"I don't know!" Xia Beifeng said calmly, then ignored him, and rummaged through the backpack next to the bed to find clothes that he could still wear.

Ye Baiyu whistled at Xia Beifeng, and shook his head regretfully, "I didn't deceive you, it's a pity!" ”

"No one can fool you with that kind of means, so it's better to die early."

Ye Baiyu dragged a strange long voice "Hey......", and when Xia Beifeng turned his head and glared angrily, he squinted his eyes and smiled like a heartless fool.

"I suddenly felt ...... I've endured your ravages for so many years. It's not easy to live tenaciously! ”

Xia Beifeng put on his clothes as he spoke, and turned his head to look at Ye Baiyu.

"Why hasn't the rain stopped?"

Ye Baiyu sat on the windowsill, leaning against the window frame with his back, teasing the little sparrow who had been fluttering under the eaves to hide from the rain, and returned to him casually: "Because it's time to rain, can't you look at the weather forecast by yourself?" ”

The wind outside the window was still not small. Raindrops the size of beans poured down on the house, soaking a large area of the ground.

Ye Baiyu has never been stained with rain. It's just that the little sparrow in his hand is wet from the splashing of thin water droplets, and his feathers are messy and screaming, looking miserable.

The little sparrow had been trying to escape from Ye Baiyu's clutches, but he was reluctant to leave the eaves that could shelter from the rain, so he could only jump around on the windowsill angrily. Dodging the rain that Ye Baiyu threw on it.

Xia Beifeng looked at his mobile phone, walked into the windowsill, rescued the little sparrow from Ye Baiyu's hand, and put it on the table in the house, before turning his head and asking Ye Baiyu, "What do you want to eat?" ”

The little sparrow stood on one foot on the table. tilted his head to comb his feathers, and occasionally glared at Ye Baiyu sitting on the windowsill viciously.

"You can do it, I don't care." Ye Baiyu whistled at the little sparrow as he spoke, and then turned his head and told Xia Beifeng, "It rained too much last night, and there seemed to be a mudslide on the mountain, those two little policemen took people to see it, let's just eat some of it...... The little girl won't wake up until the afternoon, so leave her alone. ”

The sparrow on the table jumped back a few steps angrily, lowered his head and focused on combing his feathers, and never looked at Ye Baiyu again.

Xia Beifeng nodded, turned around and walked to the door of the bedroom, suddenly turned around, and asked Ye Baiyu, "Is your injury okay?" ”

Ye Baiyu raised his eyebrows, reached out and picked up a trouser leg.

His leg, which had been bloody from the previous night, had recovered as before, and there was not even a trace of injury visible.

"Hurry up and cook, you'll have a lot to do!"

Xia Beifeng glared at Ye Baiyu in disgust, and walked towards the kitchen leisurely.

"He shouldn't spit in my meal."

Ye Baiyu said to himself.

After a while, he smiled softly, squinted his eyes and said, "yes, I don't think he will either, only a cautious person like me can do this kind of thing, right?" ”

Outside the window, only the rain was drifting, and there was not even a living thing in the empty yard.

Only the little sparrow on the table tilted its head suspiciously, glanced at the suspiciously nervous human, and then lowered its head and sorted out its feathers.

Finally, Xia Beifeng put down a pot of noodles and threw three poached eggs into it for breakfast...... Or lunch.

It turns out that one pot of noodles can't satisfy two big men who have been hungry all day. The two men argued for five minutes over who should eat the two poached eggs, and then almost got into a fight.

Later, Ye Baiyu won the ownership of the extra poached egg with the overwhelming advantage of "thick-skinned can be the Great Wall".

After the egg problem was solved, they ate the whole pot of noodles in a hurry, and they agreed unanimously; This meal is indeed a bit undercooked.

Ye Baiyu lit a cigarette and crossed his legs to look at Xia Beifeng.

Xia Beifeng also lit a cigarette and looked at Ye Baiyu with a smile.

On the dining table between the two of them, a stack of dishes and chopsticks was piled up there, and the edge of the bowl was shining with a little oil.

Who should go to wash the dishes.

That's a real problem.

Xia Beifeng sighed in his heart and spit out a puff of smoke.

Just don't move.

"Xiaobei ......" Ye Baiyu squinted his eyes and studied the smoke changing in the air, and said seemingly casually: "I'm getting married." ”

"Oh, you're going to ...... What are you doing! ”

Xia Beifeng looked at him in surprise, almost choking to death with a puff of smoke.

"I'm getting married, next month." Ye Baiyu repeated with a smile, the expression on his face was flat, as if he was talking about what to eat tonight.

"You're getting married...... Xia Beifeng stared at Ye Baiyu, and it took a long time to ask the question in his heart, "Master, what kind of person is willing to be with you?" ”

"No one wants to be with me." Ye Baiyu continued to smile, and his tone did not fluctuate, "So, the other party is not a person." ”

"Oh."

I don't know why, Xia Beifeng was not surprised to hear this answer, and even had a feeling of "sure enough".

I always feel that "Ye Baiyu is going to get married" is much more terrifying than "Ye Baiyu is going to be with a non-human".

He thought for a while, and finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked Ye Baiyu, "Master, are you getting married now, is it because you have finally come out of the shadow of the previous master?" ”

"What's the last teacher's mother's next teacher's!" Ye Baiyu nodded at Xia Beifeng solemnly, and said solemnly: "You have only one master from beginning to end, understand?" ”

Xia Beifeng nodded numbly, indicating that he understood.

He had been stimulated so much in just a few minutes that he felt that he would not even feel excited no matter what he heard.

Then he heard Ye Baiyu say to him confidently: "So you go wash the dishes first today." ”

Xia Beifeng took a few deep breaths, finally resisted the urge to flip the table and scold, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "My dear master, may I ask what does it have to do with me going to wash the dishes when you are getting married?" ”

"I'm about to step on the grave of marriage, can't you care for me?"

Xia Beifeng took a few deep breaths, but finally couldn't hold back, threw the cigarette butt and threw it at Ye Baiyu.
