I collect cultural relics in the human world

"Anything on your mind?"

"You have it too."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, walking on the desert under the starry sky, silently understanding each other and walking aimlessly in the wind.

Once again, the dust settled, and Fan Yu devoted himself to the aftermath work as usual. Jun Jiuzi thanked him and left with his students. After a brief confusion, the villagers escorted Uncle Zhao to the hospital. Of course, they still did not forget to leave Li Chong to guard him. The newly restored Shaquan.

No one knows what will happen to Shaquan Village in the future. Whether to stay or leave is a question that has been entangled for thousands of years, and it is impossible to get the answer overnight. He Si couldn't even see clearly in her heart, whether she wanted them to drop everything and pursue a new life, or to guard the past and grow old properly. At this moment, she just wanted to be with Qin Jian in this deserted place with no one. Take a walk in the vast expanse, just like what I have done for countless long periods of time. For some reason, this idea suddenly jumped out of He Si's heart. It was unbelievable, but it tugged at her heartstrings familiarly - Qin and I Jian, it seems that we have known each other for a long time, so long that... we both forgot.

"Qin Jian, have we known each other for a long time?"

He Si asked, but Qin Jian did not answer, because he knew that He Si was not asking about the girl and a mirror, but the girl and the general. Before tonight, he no longer cared about the general's past, but today's incident once again involved the mirror and the person in the mirror.

He is the Panlong Mirror, and He Si is the person in the mirror. He has completely trusted He Si, but he is afraid that He Si will also give him wholehearted trust, because he cannot believe in himself.

The night wind was very cold, and He Si shrank in the silence that seemed to drown her in mud. Qin Jian still stood upright, with no expression on his handsome face. He just slowed down and looked at the girl's lonely back. And walked forward stubbornly.

Due to the wind, the night is exceptionally clear tonight, with diamond-like stars dotting the sky, glowing with cold light, pure and primitive, a scenery you can never see under the neon lights in the city. Compared with the clear night sky, the desert looks hazy. The gentle moonlight casts a mysterious veil over the dunes. Under the veil, there is occasionally a flash of silvery white light, which is the reflection of the stars in the sand sea.

He Si also stopped, turned around, and stared at Qin Jian carefully and seriously with eyes that did not allow Qin Jian to escape. That look kept hitting the bottom of Qin Jian's heart. On this seemingly grand but lonely planet, under this seemingly lively but cold sky, in this seemingly vast but desolate sand dune, during this seemingly long period In his dull life, he was suddenly looked at by such an eager and sincere gaze. Qin Jian had no desire and was just mechanically pursuing the past. Suddenly there was a glimmer of light and a little more desire in his life. He felt that his The soul was also burned by this gaze.

The sand grains rolled gently in the breeze, making a faint and intermittent sound, like a girl's murmur in her dream. Qin Jian took two steps closer and still said nothing. He just raised his hand and gently arranged the girl's hair that was blown by the night wind behind her ears. He was gentle and meticulous, as if he was facing a fragile doll, but He Si didn't. no.

She was still staring at him without hesitation, her dark pupils filled with strong emotions, whether it was love or regret, like a bottomless abyss. She wants an answer, an answer that only Qin Jian can give her, otherwise she will drag him into this bottomless abyss and die together.

If he took another step forward, he would be unable to escape. Qin Jian instinctively wanted to retract his hand, but found that He Si's hair was entangled with the red bracelet on his wrist. Like a thousand words at this moment, it kept cutting. Still confused.

Forget it, since you can't escape, let's just get stuck in. Qin Jian sighed. She was obviously the one who provoked him first. In the hotel, she put on a small and cute face, pointed at her ankles and carefully asked for help, and then spread her palms to show him the distinctive light. The timid person at that time How did little He Si grow up to be so fearless today? In fact, we could see the signs from the beginning. In the first dream, when she became her enemy in order to protect the fireflies, that reckless look of jumping off the cliff at all costs, now I think it has already taken the shape of her growth. Qin Jian couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I thought of a lot of interesting things." Qin Jian didn't know how to answer, so he simply held the girl's face in the same way as combing her hair, lowered his head, and kissed her with a smile in his voice.

The smile was endearing, the kiss was gentle, the whole universe seemed to freeze at this moment, and then, the starry sky and the desert rotated at the same time, as if time and space were flowing rapidly.

"We must have known each other for a long time, it's just that I'm old and confused," Qin Jian said, holding the girl's hand, "Even though we haven't known each other for a long time, we still have many, many experiences. Susha Xingyi, Magu Back scratching, counting turtles, elephants, and bronze rhinoceros statues are experiences that no one else will have in their lifetime."

He Si was not disturbed by the sudden affection. She took a step back, put some distance between herself and Qin Jian, and said, "I think what happened today is a metaphor."

"metaphor?"

"A person who is stuck in time and stands still."

Qin Jian looked at He Siruo's pointed gaze and suddenly understood her persistent and even tough attitude when she argued with Jun Jiuzi in the afternoon - she seemed to be talking about the villagers, but actually she was talking about me.

"Looking back sometimes is also to move forward better." Qin Jian replied seriously.

"But I feel like I'm like a break between your past and your future." He Si's voice revealed confusion and sadness, "One break after another."

"Why do you say that?"

"Isn't it like that? You walked alone through the years and met me at a certain point. We walked hand in hand. But I am a person who will grow old, sick and die. I can only accompany you for a certain period of time, so I kept leaving. It reappeared after many years and became an embellishment in your long life. But this time, for some reason, you lost your previous memory. The instinct allowed us to meet again, and the blank memory turned the reunion into the first encounter. "

Qin Jian caught the unnatural expression on He Si's face and asked, "What did you see again?"

"It's still an illusion, an illusion within an illusion. I saw portraits that looked very similar to Song Zhaoxuan and I, but this time it was not ancient times, but more like the Republic of China. Those two people were affectionate, hugging each other and crying, it was still the scene when they were parting. ."

"When did you see it?"

"In the illusion, you are walking towards the last mechanism, when the snow is falling."

"It sounds like I'm the one who ends the relationship." Qin Jian joked, "It's the end of life between you and Song Zhaoxuan."

He Si looked troubled, as if she was thinking, but gave up thinking: "Qin Jian, this time I heard the voice of that person, not Song Zhaoxuan."

"Who is that?"

"It's you." He Si answered affirmatively, but Qin Jian had already made a conclusion about the relationship between the three of them, and vetoed it with certainty: "It's impossible to make a conclusion about the sound, but Song Zhaoxuan's face You have seen it twice, could it be that Ah Si has been thinking about me and brought my voice into the illusion?"

"No, my vision, I saw or heard something, I'm sure of it."

"Song Zhaoxuan's face matches my voice?" Qin Jian asked again.

"Yes." "Aya thinks, how to explain this?"

"I don't know, but I think that person is not Song Zhaoxuan. He..." He Si didn't know how to explain this strange feeling. The Song Zhaoxuan in the illusion always made her feel that he was just a fake with a similar face. goods. Except for his face, the aura of that person's whole body made her feel familiar, familiar with the person standing next to her at this moment.

Qin Jian actually didn't believe it. He felt that He Si had probably thought too much and had reached a dead end, but he still said: "If you are not worried, I will accompany you back to school and meet that senior Song again."

"Oops." When she mentioned school, He Si suddenly felt discouraged. Thinking of the seniors, professors, Yincheng Wooden Pagoda, and a series of information that were still waiting for her, and even Deng Chensha... Her head ached with pain. got up.

Regarding the digital inheritance of Yincheng Wooden Pagoda, it was an extension from her last paper. But after she joined the project team, she ran out and solved two strange cases related to cultural relics. The project was It didn't help at all. Fortunately, the three senior brothers didn't care about it, otherwise I really don't know how to explain it.

"Hey." He Si sighed again, "It's better to postpone meeting Song Zhaoxuan. He will be on campus anyway. I have to study hard for a while."

"Not meeting again?" Qin Jian pretended to coax.

"We won't meet again!" He Si hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind through gritted teeth.

"Okay, Xiao Shitou still has some things to deal with." Qin Jian was thoughtful.

"It's not just about the little stones," He Si's expression became serious, "Where are your hands?"

"It's nothing. With the bracelet made by Ah Si, it's much better."

He Si didn't believe it, so she stretched out her hand and said, "Show me."

He Si stretched out her hand towards him persistently, knowing that she could not escape today. Qin Jian had to change his words: "It's nothing serious. The injury has been stopped. I have also made an appointment with Dr. Guan for medical treatment. Ah Si can’t help either.”

"Really?" He Si still stretched out her hand, vowing not to give up until she saw the wound, "Show me first."

"I can't defeat you," Qin Jian laughed as he lifted up his right sleeve, and a black thread wrapped around his arm, like a blood scab from a wound that had not yet faded, "You see, it is evil spirit after all. It is not that easy to eradicate, but evil spirit is After all, we can't get past the Imperial House, so we can just wait a little longer. Of course, I will definitely listen to Ah Si's instructions and take the initiative to find Doctor Guan, don't worry."

The worry on He Si's face dissipated a little, and she wanted to lower her head to take a closer look, but Qin Jian quickly put down his sleeves and said while putting them down: "Actually, these two days are not considered absent from work and school. I'll ask Mr. Li for help." It’s fake.”

"Help me..." He Si suddenly thought of the scene when they last saw Professor Li, her face turned red and she changed her attention.

"You are telling the truth. There is a problem in an ancient village in the Kumtag Desert, and you need to borrow his beloved disciple. Director Li agreed very quickly. You don't have to worry about letting it slip when you go back."

"That's because you are proud of yourself. Professor Li is famous for being strict, especially when following up on projects. He is not allowed to ask for leave casually."

"It's not random, it's all normal reasons, but this time there is a good time, place and people," Qin Jian said, deliberately frustrated, "Deng Chensha's incident is quite big, I guess Mr. Li also saved it for you to avoid The idea of ​​​​avoidance."

"Did he cause trouble again?" He Si raised her head upon hearing this, anger rising on her brows.

Qin Jian smiled: "It's not a bad thing this time. After all, in Yincheng, in the eyes of everyone, he was the one who saved Zeng Bin who was about to jump off the building. Do you still remember this?"

"What...does this have to do with me?"

"Because someone saw you shopping with him before..."

"I'm not going shopping! I'm chasing that little turtle!"

"Si, there's no need to explain in a hurry, I didn't doubt you." Qin Jian casually took advantage, and before He Si could retort, he quickly added, "Deng Chensha's image in front of the media is that of a person who eats, drinks, has fun, is ignorant, and has no skills. Shi Zu, especially on the issue of men and women, has a bad reputation. Now, in order to please his new girlfriend, he followed him to a small town that he would never set foot in normally. He worked hard to help promote the protection of cultural relics, and even risked his life. Now that I have saved someone, do you think I have made great progress? A prodigal son will never be replaced by gold, so that new girlfriend is even more arousing curiosity."

"I've never heard you speak such a long paragraph before." Knowing that Qin Jian was teasing her, He Si curled her lips and fought back.

"That's because Ah Si doesn't understand me yet. I still have a lot of things to say to Ah Si." Qin Jian shrugged indifferently, "When the place where we meet in the future is not a dream or a sea of ​​​​daggers or mountains of fire, I will talk to you again. explain."

"Okay, let's talk about it later. Now I have to go back and start working on the project tomorrow!"

"There's no rush," Qin Jian shook his head, "I said I asked for leave for you these two days, that's two days. I didn't expect the matter to be resolved so smoothly, so you can use it to rest tomorrow."

"No," He Si shook her head stubbornly to prevent herself from falling into the gentle trap again, and warned herself sternly, "I'm already far behind, I have to study tomorrow!"

Qin Jian listened to He Si's righteous words and showed a pitiful expression - the spring night was short and the sun was rising, and the king would not go to court early from now on - He Si looked at the young man in front of him who was filled with a sense of vulnerability, and suddenly realized the ancient King Shi was worried, so he softened his tone and said, "Do you have any other arrangements? I will accompany you until sunrise at most."

"That's not necessary," Qin Jian said, suddenly showing a childlike smile, "I would like to ask Ah Si to accompany me to a place. I think half an hour will be enough."

"where?"

"Just follow along."

The man and woman who had been walking on the endless desert took steps again. The road ahead was still unclear, but this time, both of them felt much more magnanimous. For some things, perhaps they could only wait for time to give them answers, and what they could do was Just follow the pace of time and move forward side by side.
