Chapter 22: The Key (II)

"My brother is gone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Xiao Xuancao broke free from Lu's hand, she did not reject this familiar lady, and she also knew that the relationship was important, but she couldn't help but be impulsive, and she didn't stop until she ran to the door, and finally couldn't keep up with the speed of the teenager.

In the end, I only looked at Ji Lun's tall back--tall in the eyes of Lori Xiaoxuancao-and disappeared into the corner of the street.

She lowered her head again to look at her little arms and legs, and was a little sad: "A Tang poem that my mother likes, I am not born when you are born, and I am old when you are born...... It's so sad. ”

Lu Shi laughed: "How old is your doll, sad and sad." ”

However, this girl is smart and emotional, Lu Shi was moved, and whispered to Lu Sheng in the past: "We have a son, but we don't have a daughter yet, we know the roots of Xiaoxuancao, with this girl's filial piety, and the closeness of Ji Lun and the girl, if you raise this daughter, you will also have a companion in the future...... You won't suffer any loss if you raise it. ”

Lu Sheng's cold face twitched: "You don't have to tell me about this kind of thing. ”

There are no more and no less such scenes, and the townspeople are regrouping and recovering with the most primitive huddles.

............

The streets were cold, but there was nothing to do all the way, and the townspeople who hurried to the shelter were young men and women, and there were few old people, who listened to them talk about the approach of the Imperial army in the woods overnight, and the final gathering of the town's shelter, someone saw Ji Lun, recognized it, and bowed to him: "Thank you, Warlock. ”

Ji Lun didn't know who was coming, so he nodded vaguely and told that there were few fighters in the shelter, so he called everyone: "Please be ready for battle." ”

The townspeople looked at each other.

When Ji Lun got home, he took out the key under the flower pot, pushed the door in, and many small arrangements at the entrance had not changed, there were no more women's shoes on the shoe rack, and the first floor still maintained the appearance of leaving himself.

"Didn't Mom come back?"

I went to the second floor again, and as soon as I stepped on the ground on the second floor, I was stunned...... Someone.

The door of the master bedroom was open, and when I gently pushed the door in, I could smell the moisture and jasmine, and some footprints came out of the bathroom door on the side, not slipper marks, but petite footprints with crooked arches.

The floor-to-ceiling curtains were opened, and on the balcony there was a woman, sitting quietly on a rosewood circle chair, facing the small garden outside the pitch-black cast-iron railing.

Looking at the back, she was a little delicate, her shoulders were shaved, she was dressed in a new white nightdress that was simple but cleanly washed, showing the gentleness of the hostess, and her long wet ink-colored hair was draped behind her, and her hair had not dried after bathing, exuding the moisture of soaphorn and the fragrance of jasmine, cordial and familiar - before she saw the front, she knew at once that this was the jasmine smell that her mother liked.

The sound of his footsteps should have been reactive, but the woman stared at the garden in a daze.

Ji Lun couldn't help but slow down, and looked at her gaze, it was hazy in the fog, it was a little late, the street lamp illuminated the small garden, a young woman led the little boy and the little girl to play hide and seek in the garden, and a man in military uniform stood far away outside the fence and watched, his face was unrecognizable, and then he turned his head and said to a big boy behind him, the boy stood up and saluted, and there was a wound from a bullet in his palm.

The scene flickered, and it was just the fog of the night.

The woman was still staring at that side, and Ji Lun's heart lifted, walked around quickly, and turned on the balcony light.

The sudden opening of the light was a little dazzling, and the woman's hands, which were originally folded in front of her lower abdomen, were raised to block her eyes, and her silk sleeves slipped down like two clouds, revealing snow-white wrists, tender fingers, and a delicate neck that rose up and became more slender, all of which were plain and clean without extra makeup...... It is said that the neck and wrists can best tell a woman's age, but at this moment Ji Lun can't tell the difference, and he is a little unsure: "Mom, is it you?"

She was stunned and put down her hand to cover it.

"It's her. ”

Ji Lun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, held the woman's hands, and squatted down by himself, and the nail leaves made a clanging sound.

The sound of the armor frightened the woman, and her bare feet shrunk under her skirt.

But Ji Lun held her hands tightly, dressed in military uniform, half-kneeling in front of this jasmine, looking at her eyes: "Mom, it's me." ”

The woman in the nightdress who sat on the balcony chair still had the same expression as sleepwalking, she didn't seem to expect to meet such a man in armor at home, until her eyes fell on the young and childish face, as if she was thinking about it, and finally nodded gently.

"Mom don't be afraid, her son is back, and the family is safe. ”

And the mother didn't show much surprise, just stroked his cheek one by one, thinking about something, and didn't speak.

Ji Lun didn't know if this was her reaction to living alone for too long, remembering the hungry eyes of those adults for food, he took out three bags and opened them: "Mom, here is food for you...... There is also your favorite plum vegetable cake. ”

She finally had a reaction at this time, and slowly bit and ate, her eyes curved up like crescents, shining with satisfaction, her feet stretched out of her skirt, and her ten thin white toes were slightly cocked, like a little girl who had eaten ice cream for the first time.

"You're barefoot...... Get cold. ”

The shoe cabinet in the master bedroom is also empty and does not look like a female shoe cabinet, and I found the practical nurse white shoes in the hospital before, the rubber sole has no root, and the size of the cloth elastic mouth is very convenient.

She bit a piece of cake, looked at the boy in a daze, and then looked down at the white shoes on her feet, which looked like dancing shoes...... Instinctively accustomed to standing up, getting up and moving to bring up the folds of the chiffon nightdress, rolling the snowdrift like ripples, turning the skirt in a half circle on the side, the small balcony was quiet, and it seemed that several children clapped their hands and laughed, boys, girls, running around their mothers, playing......

"Yes, that's fine. ”

Ji Lun looked at her contentedly, enjoying the memories stimulated by this moment, and many of the children's impressions associated with their mothers were rediscovered, until the illusion of laughter and laughter faded away, and the joy of reunion calmed down, and he woke up to the slightest abnormality: "Why doesn't Mom speak?"

After trying on the new shoes, she sat back in her chair, did not speak, and held the boy's head so that the child rested on her lap...... This action brings back memories again, but ignores the current height of Ji Lun.

Ji Lun leaned on her lower abdomen and sighed, this is the same as dealing with a willful and stubborn child, but the intuition of the mother is not her own memory disorder, but something indescribable to block communication, so she tries to get more information: "If you can't speak, nod or shake your head, is it okay?"

She nodded.

"There are no shoes in the hallway...... Haven't you ever been out?"

She shook her head.

"But you weren't at home before. ”

She frowned and thought about it seriously, and handed over a bronze key, which was heavy as soon as she got her hands on it.

"Where's the key?"

The question was too complicated to be explained, and she took the boy by the hand to the garage, and with a good sense of the car, turned on the incandescent lights, and pushed the heavy wrought iron shelf, which was a little hard for her to do, but she still pushed hard.

Ji Lun understood that she wanted to go to the basement...... Or maybe it's an authentic tunnel, and I consciously go up to help push away the heavy iron frame.

After the iron frame was pushed open, there was a cast iron door cover on the ground, which went straight to the ground, and Ji Lun pulled the iron ring like the previous time, and the woman held down his hand, looked at him with disgust, picked up the key, and inserted it into the wall behind the iron frame...... There is a gap in the shadows, an invisible keyhole.

Boom Boom

A tremor came from the ground beneath his feet, and the door lid folded violently and rolled open, revealing the stone steps inside.

"No wonder, it was a little weird down here...... before"

Ji Lun tried to probe his feet, but this time he didn't have a cold and creepy feeling, but he was still a little uncertain, and looked back at her: "Does my mother want me to go down?"

She still held the bronze key in both hands and stuck it in the keyhole, and in the face of this question, she stretched out her feet under her skirt and stood on tiptoe, and her little white shoes scratched on the thin layer of dust on the ground, stained with dust, and at the same time wrote a line of writing: "Son, this is your father's property for you, go ahead, it is inside." ”

This is the only complete and logical expression of her mother so far, and Guillen noticed that there are many such vague traces on the garage dust, from crooked to neat and clear, covering each other on top of each other, and forming an uneven accumulation of dust, which she has practiced for a long time...... Strangely enough, so important and so long to prepare, she hesitated before taking out the bronze key.

And now that she has finished writing this sentence, she has exhausted all her strength, and her body is limp.

"Mom!" Ji Lun was startled and hugged her.

After the bronze key broke away from her hand, white electric light erupted in the keyhole, a bit like the light effect of the stone table in the shelter, and the jasmine flowers bloomed on her nightdress, and at the end of the skirt, they disintegrated for the first time, turning into snow-white petals.

Then she spun up to her waist and chest, and after a brief visual shock, a white light, and then what was different from the shelter was that her whole body also turned into snow-white petals, and disappeared into the basement with the key.

Ji Lun looked at this supernatural scene with his hands empty, dumbfounded, and could already accept the dehumanization of those monsters, but this also appeared on his mother, which gave him a great shock and impact!

At this moment, the light and shadow flashed in the corner of his eye, and he looked back sharply: "Who!"

A small light disappeared from the corner door.

Ji Lun slapped the weapon box, flicked his double knives in his hand, and put down his armor.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the garage lights went black, the ground trembled beneath his feet, and the whole building trembled and was about to disintegrate.

"What happened?"

The booming masonry fell, and the ceiling collapsed, as if it were a repetition of the hospital's death pit.

The door was closed, and only the stone steps in the basement emitted a faint pure white, breathing brightly and brightly, and it seemed to be a blessing from the mother, but it became confusing due to the sudden earthquake.

"If you go in, can you still come out?"

Ji Lun instantly had doubts, memory impairment and the experience of death, instinctively doubting everything around him, but after going through it in his mind, he still gritted his teeth and jumped in.
