Chapter 707: Quietness (8)
It is obviously not a difficult road, but he has walked this road countless times, but this time he has fallen down three times.

He walked very fast, so anxious that every step of his was like running. Finally, he started running, running faster and faster, almost running wildly on the mountain path where the autumn wind was blowing with dead leaves.

The wind whipped his empty right sleeve and kept flapping it.

He wanted to go home, to his and Ah Nuan's home.

He wants to see her.

As if he hadn't seen her for a long, long time, he wanted to see her abnormally.

It was a longing, a strong longing he had never felt before.

He didn't know why he suddenly had such an extremely strong yearning.

All he knew was that he really wanted to see his Ah Nuan.

Want it so so much.

It was getting darker and darker.

Si Jixia ran faster and faster.

When it was completely dark, he hadn't returned to the fenced yard.

It was already so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, but Si Jixia never stopped in his footsteps, let alone picked up dead branches to light a torch for a little light.

It's just because he has already memorized this way home, even if he can't see things, he can still find his home and return to his home.

Si Jixia didn't know how long he had walked, how long he had run, how many times he had fallen, but he finally...saw a fire in the distance ahead.

That is the direction of the fenced yard.

The light of the fire came from their home.

Prove there is someone in the family.

Seeing the flames from a distance, Si Jixia's running pace suddenly slowed down, very slowly, as if he dared not approach their home.

But no matter how slow his steps were, he still moved towards home.

His head hurts, and his mind is very chaotic, as if there are layers of clouds that are too thick to dissolve, making him lost in this thick cloud, and he can't get out no matter what.

He needs a little bit of light, just a little bit, he can find his way, he can know where he should go.

Where is he now... exactly?Where are you going again?
The small courtyard was very quiet, there was light in the main room, there was light in the kitchen, and the smell of firewood smoke wafted from the kitchen, accompanied by the sound of the spatula hitting the iron pot, no need to think about it, Si Jixia knew It's warm in winter, so I come to cook dinner at this time.

Si Jixia and the two rambunctious little guys were not at home, so it was rare to steal a day of leisure because of the warmth of the winter. It can be said that he took a long nap with all his strength. He began to sleep at sunset, and slept until it was completely dark. I could afford it, so I went to the kitchen to cook some food for myself now.

Si Jixia was not at home, so the winter was warm, so he ate casually, just warming up the unfinished food during the day and treating it as dinner.

Si Jixia stood outside the kitchen window quietly watching Dong Nuan Gu, who could make every dish smell like snuff. He didn't call her, and didn't let her find him. He just looked at him for a while and then turned around. , walked silently towards the main room.

After entering the main room, Si Jixia stood in front of the door of Dong Nuan Gu's house, and after a while, he raised his foot and stepped over the open threshold.

This room is already very familiar to him, even where the winter comb is used to be placed, he is very familiar with it, just like he is familiar with the bottom layer of the wardrobe in this room. It's locked, just like the drawer under the long table used to place the mirror in the familiar house is always tightly closed as if it has never been opened.

Before today, Si Jixia had never thought of touching the things in Dongnuan's old house. Firstly, it was because it was impolite, and secondly, because he didn't dare. It's not because he didn't have curiosity, but because he was afraid of Dongnuan and hated him. .

But now, he was standing in this room, standing in front of the long table used by Dongnuan to place the mirror, and pulled out the drawer that had been closed tightly.

The drawer was very old, but the drawer was cleaned cleanly, and there was a dried rose in the corner of the drawer, which was obviously placed in the drawer by Dong Nuan on purpose.

There are very few things in the drawer, only two things.

The same is a pair of puppets, and the other is...a mahogany hairpin like a tea plum.

The puppet looks like a man and a woman. The man wears a dark gray knee-length cloak. Under the cloak, the man... has no right arm, while the woman wears a simple woman's hair bun and wears A plain blue dress.

Si Jixia held the two dolls in his hands, his hands trembling badly.

This is……

Obviously it was himself, and Ah Nuan.

Looking at the stitches, the doll that looks like him is obviously the handicraft of Ah Nuan, and the doll that looks like Ah Nuan...

It seems to be from his own hand.

And that mahogany hairpin in the style of tea plum...

Didn't Ah Nuan say... I can't find it?
But it's right here, in this drawer.

Ah Nuan...why do you say you can't find it?
Si Jixia felt his head hurt so badly, it hurt like his heart.

Si Jixia put the cloth doll in his hand on the table, turned around quickly and walked to the wardrobe in the corner, staring down at the bottom of the locked wardrobe, he bowed and squeezed the handle with his hands The small brass lock, with five fingers retracted forcefully, only heard a click, the little brass lock was deformed by his bare hands, and the lock was unlocked.

The lock was unlocked, and the cabinet door was also opened, Si Jixia saw the things placed in the cabinet.

There are three things in the cabinet.

A black faceless mask, a bamboo donut, and a three-foot-long black lacquered wooden box.

When he saw these three things, Si Jixia's whole body was struck by lightning, and his three souls and seven souls were blown away, making him unable to recover for a long time.

But when it was hard for him to regain his senses, the chaos and thick clouds and mist that had been covering his heart and mind gradually dissipated, dissipating bit by bit, allowing him to see where he was, and also let him see where he was. way.

When his fingertips stroked these three things in the cabinet, Si Jixia suddenly wanted to cry, but he stood up straight and turned his back, strode out of the room, and walked towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Dong Nuan just came out of the kitchen after a hastily eaten dinner. Before he stepped over the threshold of the kitchen, he saw Si Jixia standing in front of the kitchen door, huddled in the night.

Dong Nuan was startled for a moment, and then hurriedly stepped forward to hold Si Jixia's hand. The coldness of Si Jixia's palm startled her, making her hold his hand tightly while raising her hand to caress his cheek and asked worriedly: "Why are your hands so cold? Why did Ping An come back at this hour? But what happened? What about the children? Huh?"

The answer to Dong Nuan's story was not Si Jixia's words, but his tight hug, as if he wanted to hug her into his flesh and blood before he was willing.

He didn't say a word, just hugged Dong Nuan Gu tightly.

Dong Nuan was even more panicked, and quickly put the bracelet on Si Jixia's back, and while stroking his back, tried to make his voice sound calm and calm, "What's the matter? Are you safe? Tell me first." How are you?"

Dong Nuangu's voice was very soft and soft, as if he was afraid of scaring Si Jixia.

Si Jixia still didn't speak, but hugged her even tighter.

The next moment, Dongnuan heard a soft sobbing sound coming from her ear, at the same time, she could clearly feel that the man hugging her was trembling all over.

"Ping An..." Dong Nuan was startled and flustered, stroking Si Jixia's back, her voice was trembling slightly, "Why are you crying?"

"Ah Nuan..." Si Jixia choked up and called Dong Nuangu with great difficulty, but he couldn't say anything.

At this moment, all he wanted was to hug her so tightly, he didn't want to speak, and he couldn't speak.

He didn't close the drawer under the table in the room, and he didn't close the open cabinet door either.

Ah Nuan...will know.

will know.

The clouds had parted, and he found himself and his way.

He is Si Jixia and Yan Ping'an.
