There were dark clouds rolling in the sky, and it was only 2 o'clock in the afternoon, but the sky was as dark as evening. In the distance, cars have turned on their headlights.

Yang Ruoning gently placed the two white roses in her hand on a coffin in front of her. She kissed the picture on the lid and stepped aside, watching as the workers slowly lowered the coffin into the dug grave. She grabbed a handful of dirt and sprinkled it on top of the coffin.

This is a family cemetery on the outskirts of Santa Ana, California, where her family is buried. Eight years ago, she buried her parents here, and now she has buried her brother here. The people she loved had been reunited in heaven, leaving her alone in the world.

Boom, with a burst of thunder, the torrential rain finally poured down. The rain blurred her vision, but she just stood in front of the newly erected tombstone, unable to tell whether it was rain or tears on her face.

She really hated this rainy day.

Jaso

He died after five days in a coma. Ki

Sey said the autopsy report would be a few days away.

These days, she's just buried in the tedious funeral, busy dealing with all the people who come to pay her respects. The busyness made her temporarily numb. And when the crowd dispersed, the great sorrow was like this pouring rain, almost swallowing her.

Before she went home, she bought a whole case of liquor at the convenience store around the corner, then closed her door and numbed herself with alcohol all day. The rotation of day and night meant nothing to her, and she could not bear the flood of sorrow and heartache that struck her awakeness. It hurt so much that she couldn't breathe, it hurt so much that she wanted to leave this world, but she couldn't. Mom and Dad are both Christians, and suicide cannot enter heaven. If you can't get into heaven, you won't be able to see them again. Although Yang Ruoning has no faith, even so, she doesn't want to take risks.

Ding-dong, someone's ringing the doorbell. In a blur, Yang Ruoning turned over and ignored it. But the man seemed to have made up his mind to open the door, and the doorbell kept ringing.

She got up irritably and pulled the door open.

Standing outside the door was Ki

sey。

"What are you going to do?"

“Ya

G, you need to look at this. He said, handing over a tablet. What is shown on the tablet is a photograph. "This is what you found inside the camera you brought back. The memory card was badly damaged and this was the only photo we recovered. ”

The background is a blooming pink peach blossom forest, and the sun is so dazzling that the people in front of them are a little gray. But even so, she could feel that the person in the photo was so happy and happy. In the photo, a girl in a goose yellow dress is smiling and looking up at Jaso with a sideways face

, and Jaso

Looking back at her too, his eyes were filled with endless tenderness. Anyone can tell that this is a couple in love.

Yang Ruoning suddenly woke up halfway from drinking. "So what he wanted to find was the girl in the photo?"

"It looks like this."

"I'm going back!"

Compared with the last hurry, Yang Ruoning made sufficient preparations before departure. Although too much has happened since the last time she came back, and it has been delayed for too long, she has not forgotten the little boy. She was sorry for the little one. Before leaving, she prepares him all kinds of candy she can buy, and then she takes Ki

Sey's was a Tiffany vase worth several thousand dollars, which she thought should be worth some silver.

The little boy gave her little wooden carving, and she found a chain to wear and hang it on her chest.

When she's about to pack her backpack, ki

Sey stuffed her with a box. When I opened it, it turned out to be a pistol and a box of bullets. Yang Ruoning was stunned for a moment, and she looked at Ki

sey。

Ki

"It's just for self-defense." Of course, I hope you'll never use it. ”

Yang Ruoning thought about it and felt that it was not unreasonable, so she stuffed the box into her backpack together.

While walking through the wormhole, Yang Ruoning stood in front of those images for a long time. She noticed that the largest picture showing the emperor was completely different. In the image, it seems that some kind of important ceremony is going on in the golden hall. A middle-aged man carries a crown encrusted with pearls and gemstones to a young man's head. The young man wore a gorgeous black silk robe embroidered with a golden dragon. He turned and sat down on the high dragon chair. At the foot of the white jade steps, everyone knelt down and kowtowed and shouted long live. Then, a woman in a beautiful costume slowly ascended the stone steps, and she came to the feet of the man, who knelt down, and the man placed a phoenix crown on her head.

This is the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor. Is there going to be a new emperor there? Yang Ruoning was thinking. Suddenly, the screen turned, and it was another room. The man in the black dragon robe placed a jug of wine on the table. At the table sat a young man dressed in white. His clothes also seem to be embroidered with golden dragons. The man took the jug and drank it. Then the picture seemed to be still, and the two looked at each other in silence. After a while, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of the white-clothed man's mouth, and he fell to the ground and died in a moment.

"Is this what's going on there?" Seeing this, Yang Ruoning muttered to herself. In any case, the affairs of the Chinese emperor seem to have nothing to do with him.

She didn't hesitate and walked straight to the door.

Behind the door was still the green cliff flat. The unknown little white flowers are still blooming. Out of the pass, at a glance, you can see the small temple with white walls in Rawa. Yang Ruoning immediately walked towards the small temple.

"Anyone?" Pushing open the slightly hidden temple door, she asked.

The door to the wing room on the left side opened, and out came a young monk whom he had never seen before.

He saw Yang Ruoning, folded his hands and bowed his head slightly, "I don't know what the donor has to do?" ”

"Ah, I'm here to pick up a little boy who lives here."

"This benefactor, there are no little boys living in this temple."

Well? Maybe he's a new monk he doesn't know? Yang Ruoning explained while gesturing, "It's just a little boy, so tall, about six or seven years old, I asked an old monk in the temple to take care of it ten days ago." “

"You're talking about Master Jingyan, right? He had already traveled three years ago. I've lived here for over 10 years and I've never met a little boy. ”

"Huh? No, I only met the old monk two weeks ago. "Inexplicable conversation. She walked out into the yard, and she shouted, "Little one—"

The monk suddenly remembered something and said, "I remember that Master seemed to mention that a little boy was taken in here a long time ago. But the boy is long gone. ”

"No, you must be mistaken. I had entrusted the little boy to the old monk a few days ago. ”

The monk was also a little confused, and he continued, "Donor, the master said that fifteen years ago, a female benefactor asked him to take in a little boy, and he said that he would return in a few days, but he waited for several months without a trace. One day, the little boy happened to go to the village to play, and he didn't want the village to suddenly catch fire, and the boy unfortunately died. ”

Yang Ruoning shook her head, she didn't believe the monk's words. She obviously left ten days ago, how could it be fifteen years? Unless...... Unless the two worlds don't pass at the same rate. She suddenly realized something. She trembled all over, "Master, how much time has passed since the sixteenth year of Yuanfeng here?" ”

"It's the thirty-first year of Yuanfeng, and it's been exactly fifteen years."

Am I fifteen years late? Her stomach began to tumble again, and she thought of the thin body and bright eyes, and the little boy who clung to the corner of her clothes and refused to let her go, her hands trembled unconsciously, and her temples began to jump suddenly, and the headache seemed to burst, and a feeling of nausea welled up from below, and she could not hold back it anymore, and threw it out.
