I collect cultural relics in the human world

Chapter 1 Phantoms
Pull

That day, He Si heard the cry of the spirit from the depths of the cultural relics - take me back, take me back to the place where I was born, take me back to the place where I grew up, take me back to the place where I once protected place to go.

----------------------

In the thick of autumn, He Si stepped out of the taxi and combed her long hair that was blown by the wind.

The memory of the dream during the journey was leaving her.

She seemed to hear something shouting, saying something very important, so she scratched in the void, trying to catch a few words.Hometown, protect, go back, the words flowed between the fingers, the sound became more and more blurred, and gradually disappeared.

Strange, why do I suddenly care about a dream?He Si shook her head mockingly.

The light was dim, like water, falling on the street at five o'clock in the morning. A few sycamore leaves rotated in the cold wind, falling alone on the street, and then were picked up by the wind and flew to the treetops again.

He Si dragged her suitcase with one hand and pushed open the hotel door with the other. Until this moment, she still didn't understand how she got on an early morning flight, came to a strange city, and embarked on a completely unknown journey.

Perhaps, it is to escape from the endless thoughts in school.How could she, a junior girl in the architecture department who was the only one in the group, to have a crush on a guy in the computer department, only to have her waistcoat stripped off and run away.But in a sense, at least she has good taste, and her crush is a real person, not an embroidered pillow.

"Hello, I was invited to come to your hotel to visit and experience it."

"It's Miss He Si, right?" The hotel receptionist took He Si's ID card with both hands and put it on the card reader. He looked at her again, then tapped the keyboard a few times on the computer, and then handed the ID card back. , "Check-in has been completed, and our reception staff will take you to your room."

"no need."

Just when He Si was about to refuse, a handsome guy in uniform came over and reached out to lift her luggage.

"I can go by myself."

"Don't you need help? The way to the elevator is not easy." Compared to He Si's embarrassment, the rejected boy still maintained a professional smile and bent slightly to ask her opinion again.

"It's okay, I want to see it alone." She waved her hands quickly. Being with strangers was a great pressure for He Si. With her withdrawn personality, she had long been accustomed to the freedom of being alone.

"Then go straight this way," the little brother didn't hesitate, and pointed forward with his fingers together, "After passing the sky, turn right and you will find the elevator."

"Thank you." He Si lowered her eyes and said no more. She lowered her head and walked towards the narrow gap not far away.

The road became narrower and narrower. Beside her, orange, red, brown, and gradually changing red waves undulated and flowed. There seemed to be seaweed dancing in the warm ocean current. If she looked closely, she discovered that it was the moss spreading at the bottom of the mountain due to the darkness and humidity. , looks particularly green and lovely in this red - a typical Danxia landform.

He Si, who was in the midst of it, raised his head again. The skylight filtered in from the narrow cracks in the rock, covering the hard rock like a gauze, making all reality seem illusory.He Si quickly closed her eyes. She didn't want to get sick at this time - Charles Bonner syndrome, a visual hallucination caused by macular degeneration. Those vivid and complex hallucinations sometimes affect her life, but more often Time brings unexpected and surprising inspiration to her designs, like her muse.

"Although I did my homework before coming here, I was still surprised." He Si muttered quietly and walked towards the elevator faster.

This is a tourist hotel built based on a special geological environment. The Danxia landform is integrated into the architectural design, and the natural scenery and man-made landscape are organically combined. There are so many things worth learning.He Si, who was at a loss at first, suddenly became excited. Then she thought of her three senior brothers. After learning that her tutor had a study spot, they all gave her the opportunity - there is no need to have a secret love, pursuing a career is the way to go!He Si secretly encouraged herself.

Coming out of the narrow but colorful passage, an open and simple man-made cave appeared in front of him. He Si was about to turn right to find the elevator according to the staff's instructions, but heard the sound of gurgling water on the left. She was not in a hurry to go back anyway. In the room, He Si, who had just been amazed by the sky, didn't want to wait any longer, turned around and followed the sound of water.

The sound of water was muffled by a wooden door. A pair of stone lions looked cute and naive beside the door. He Si didn't think much and gently pushed open the wooden door in front of her.

A wisp of silver fell from the sky, the water hit the raised rock wall, the mist evaporated, and quickly disappeared into a deep pool of blue waves.The rockery beside the pool is rugged, and greenery peeks out from time to time among the rocks. It looks like some kind of fern that does not require much soil. It is well-proportioned and full of vitality.

However, what really attracted He Si was a man sitting at the stone table in the courtyard.Dressed in loose robes, orchids and jade trees, free and easy, fluttering like a fairy.

He was sitting at the table making tea. The eyes of the spring water in the pot were slightly open. His white fingertips crushed, scattered, and floated the emerald green tea leaves in the water. Soon, the bubbles in the pot were like springs. He gently lifted his sleeves with one hand, He leaned over and scooped up the foam in the pot, waited for the tea to boil completely, and then poured the foam back into the pot without haste, and the tea became calm again.

Although it was just a pot of tea, it was cooked by him in a comfortable and interesting way. The man in the mist was as beautiful as a banished immortal. He was drinking in a Taoist fairy style. The scent of tea lingered in his nose. He Si stood at the door. Lost my mind.

There is such a person in the world...

"Would you like a cup of tea too, little girl?"

"what?"

The sudden old voice interrupted He Si's meditation. When she came to her senses, she was so confused that she didn't know what to do.

No, the voice was hoarse and rough. He couldn't be an immortal, he was clearly an old man.

He Si closed her eyes and looked into the courtyard again. She still saw the flowing water, the deep blue waves, the strange mountains and rocks, and the lush greenery. Only the person making tea in the courtyard had changed from a young and romantic person on the road to a An old man with gray hair on his temples.

Is this another illness?He Si frowned. The illness came on strangely this time. She had never had hallucinations on a living creature, let alone a human being. Could it be that the condition was serious again?He Si was a little worried about her health, but she forgot about her embarrassment for a moment.

"Don't you want tea?"

The old gentleman not far away was not angry because of He Si's absent-mindedness. Instead, he asked again and raised the tea cup in his hand. His expression and demeanor coincided with that of the person in the hallucination. He Si waved his hand quickly.

"No, no, no, excuse me, old gentleman."

Don't fall into the illusion anymore, He Si warned herself, took two steps back, bowed inexplicably, and wanted to turn around and leave.When I stood up, I glanced at the exquisite stone lion on my right from the corner of my eye, and saw it stretching its body, its big bell-like eyes blinking twice, with an innocent and naive expression, as if it was smiling to itself.

"This...how is this possible."

He Si almost tripped over herself, but when she looked closely, she saw that the stone lion was clearly still the same as when it came, holding its head high and stepping on the hydrangea, without moving. "Oops, maybe I'm not used to the climate." He Si comforted herself, not daring to stay any longer, and almost ran away.As she walked, she took out a piece of chewing gum from her pocket and threw it into her mouth. The familiar taste filled her mouth, and her pounding heart gradually returned to normal.

He Si took a breath and threw the candy wrapper in her palm into the trash can. But the moment the candy wrapper fell, she clearly saw a smiling face flashing out of the bright marble mirror. .

"Ah!" She couldn't help but let out a rapid cry, her heartbeat beating deafeningly.

"Miss, are you okay?" The waiter not far away also noticed something unusual here and walked towards her quickly.

He Si raised her head, the panic on her face not dissipating yet.

"Miss, you don't look good. Do you need help?" The waiter had already come closer, with a look of concern on his face.

"It's okay, I just sprained my ankle." She knelt down and pressed her ankle, avoiding the inquiring eyes of the people passing by.

"What room number do you live in? Let me help you there."

As soon as the words of rejection came to her lips, He Si swallowed them down. She looked at the pure black trash can beside her. The matte marble glowed softly.

"Okay, I live in 215." Curiosity and fear defeated He Si's withdrawn character at this moment. She chewed her gum a few times and pointed to the place she had just visited, "Over there, where the sound of water comes from, Is it also your guest room?"

"Yes, our boss's guests live there."

"Distinguished guest?" He Si deliberately emphasized her tone, letting the two words roll on the tip of her tongue before she asked casually, "Is it just one person?"

"The manager has explained that the guest likes to be quiet and cannot be disturbed, so I don't know the specific situation."

Touching a soft nail, He Si, who was not good at words, felt her cheeks heat up slightly, and immediately tightened her lips and swore not to say more.The atmosphere became a little subtle. It was on the second floor anyway. He Si thought it would be better to carry her luggage and go back to the room by the stairs and end the uncomfortable silence immediately. However, she thought that she would have to be polite to the other party for two or three rounds and explain herself. A sprained ankle makes me feel physically and mentally exhausted.

Forget it, just wait.He Si sighed silently in her heart.

Fortunately, the embarrassing atmosphere did not last long. With a "ding" sound, the elevator door slowly opened in front of her.

"Ha ha."

He Si was about to enter the elevator when she felt a sudden chill on the back of her neck. It seemed like someone blew into her ear and sneered.She instinctively turned her head. The waiter who was guiding her was just one step away from her. He was bending slightly and respectfully raised his hand to signal her to enter the elevator first.

It was definitely not the laughter coming from this person. He Si looked around the empty surroundings and felt her scalp numb.

That's not quite right. No matter how severe it was before, I just had visual hallucinations. Why am I now experiencing auditory hallucinations? Moreover, this problem is caused by the eyes. What does it have to do with the ears? Could it be synaesthesia?

I must be too tired.

He Si was not good at words, but she was very good at talking to herself. After a while, she found a reasonable explanation for herself - flying will cause ear pressure imbalance, and if the imbalance lasts for a long time, tinnitus will occur. Coupled with the stimulation of acclimatization, Auditory hallucinations naturally occurred.

She chewed her gum twice, swallowed again, and officially stepped into the elevator, ready to go back home and have a good sleep.

"Ha ha."

As if to refute her point of view, the sneer appeared again, and this time, a warm tongue seemed to lick her ear gently, moist, sticky and slow.

Not only her scalp, but He Si's whole body was numb. Her mouth had long forgotten to chew, and she swallowed the chewing gum together.

It was so scary. In addition to visual and auditory hallucinations, she also had hallucinations. The new life experience cured He Si's social fear at that moment. She exited the elevator silently, looked at the surprised waiter and asked: "Have you ever... What noise did you hear?”

"Miss……"

"Little sister," a crisp childish voice interrupted the waiter, and then a little boy with a tiger-like head jumped up and ran over, holding He Si's name tag originally hanging on the suitcase, "you dropped something."

"Thank you." He Si squatted down and touched the name tag with her fingers. The unique cold touch of metal made her shiver. Then her chaotic and numb brain suddenly became clear, and warmth flowed through her body again.

"You're welcome, but you have to knock on the door first when you go to other people's homes." The little boy tilted his head and looked at her, his big round eyes blinking, and his tone was innocent.

"I know, I'm so sorry today." He Si realized that the little boy in front of her should be the grandson of the old man who made tea, and couldn't help but blush.

Fortunately, the little boy didn't say anything more. He turned around and ran back the way he came. He Si looked at his jumping back, and the pair of naive stone lions outside the courtyard gate appeared in her mind.

She could no longer think about it. She shook her head quickly to drive away the inappropriate illusion. It was time to go back to the house to recuperate.
