Master a little skill every day

"Then we'll be here in the morning. We should have found enough."

Bai An looked at the girl and said, "Sister, I want to play in the river."

"It's not safe in the river."

"The water in the ditch is up to my thighs. It's not safe. I want to catch crabs. It's so hot in the afternoon, so it's a good time to play in the river."

Bai An clamored to go to the river to catch fish and crabs.

The girl thought for a while: "Okay, let's go to the river together in the afternoon. Remember not to run too far."

"Ok!"

Soon it was afternoon, and the adults went to play cards again after lunch.

The girl looked at the adults walking away and immediately took out the crab pots and straw hats from the house: "Brother, let's go. While they are playing cards, we quickly go to the river ditch to catch crabs."

She took the lead and ran towards the ditch, followed closely by Bai An.

The ditch is located under the bamboo forest. The closer to the river, the lower the temperature of the environment becomes. After Bai An heard the sound of water flowing, he ran in front of his sister and stepped into the ditch wearing sandals. , the fish were so frightened that they fled everywhere.

"So many fish! There are some here and there too!"

"You run slower!"

The girl hurriedly chased after her, and she suddenly realized that her brother was already running faster than her.

"The crab is under the stone. Come and let's move the stone away together."

"Hey!"

The two of them worked together and happily caught crabs in the creek.

The harvest is quite rich.

"Rumble..."

Suddenly, there was a sound of turbulent water from upstream. Bai An looked back and saw a large roaring wave swooping down from the upstream.

"Water has been released upstream!"

The girl reacted immediately and pulled Bai An towards the shore.

But the speed of the current was too fast. When the two were still one step away from the shore, the turbulence hit them heavily and swept them downstream.

The girl hugged Bai An in the turbulent water and used all her strength to push Bai An to the shore, away from the raging torrent.

"Go...find dad and the others...! Hurry...get ashore...!"

Bai An watched in fear as the girl was submerged in the water, his whole body shaking uncontrollably. At this moment, what he was thinking about was that he was going to be beaten and scolded by his father.

Exhausted, he didn't go far before he fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know how long it took, but when Bai An opened his eyes again, he saw his uncle with a complicated look in front of him and his grandma wiping tears beside him.

"Xiao An, you're awake. How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable? The police officer is going to ask you something. You have to answer his questions seriously."

Bai An nodded dully, everything he had experienced before seemed like a nightmare.

"Sister! Sister!"

Bai An suddenly shouted and looked around, but did not see that familiar and reassuring figure.

Hearing these words, Grandma Bai An couldn't help crying again, and her uncle quickly helped her out of the ward.

Then a man walked in. He was holding a strange instrument and with a kind smile. He sat in front of Bai An's hospital bed and asked: "Kid, we want to ask you some questions. I hope you can recall them well and help us." , and of course it’s better to find your sister.”

"I...where did my sister go?"

"Don't worry, we will help you find her. Was your sister swept away by the water?"

Bai An was stunned for a while, then nodded slowly.

"Did you insist on letting your sister take you to play by the water?"

Bai An continued to nod.

"Very well...oh no, I mean thank you for your cooperation."

The man smiled slightly and continued: "The current situation is like this. Your parents were playing cards at the time, but after the water was released upstream, people soon came and said they saw you going to the water to play, so they also ran there immediately I went to the waterside to see if you were safe, but I didn't expect to see your sister being swept away.

"Your parents are also good swimmers, so the two of them went into the water to rescue your sister. Unfortunately, none of the three came back."

The man sighed regretfully: "My child, I hope you can grow from this. You should listen to the adults. If you don't insist on going to the river to play in the water, you are the one who killed your sister and parents."

"..."

"Beep beep..."

The instrument in his hand made a harsh sound, and Bai An's eyes became dull.

He raised his hand and pointed the instrument at Bai An's forehead.

"But now, child, please take your time and rest in peace."

Chapter 2: Embrace the past and create the future

Bai Miao woke up from bed in a fit of dizziness and the extreme cold that filled his body.

"What was in the dream... was the memory of Bai An being taken away?"

Every detail is clearly visible, the heat of summer and the coldness of the river are so real.

"Sister..."

Even in his dream, Bai Miao felt the family affection given by sister Bai An.

For Bai Miao, who has never experienced father's love and mother's love, this kind of sister's love is really too strange.

But, it doesn't feel bad.

"Cheng Diyuan...it turns out to be you bitch..."

The last man in the memory holding a strange instrument was Cheng Tiyuan. As a raw material purchaser, he would naturally come to harvest the raw material called memory at this time.

It's a pity that this guy was killed by himself as early as the third grade. Looking at it now, he still died too happily.

But what Bai Miao didn't understand was whether the large amount of rainwater pouring into the room he encountered last night was a dream or reality.

Bai An's memories have come up, so what should he do next?

Without any reminder, Bai Miao didn't even know how those people who had suffered the same fate before died.

Could it be that the danger last night was being submerged in water, but since I can breathe underwater, I passed the test without any injuries?

After much deliberation, Bai Miao still felt that this was the most likely scenario.

He passed the test because of underwater breathing, so he learned about the memory of Bai An's disappearance.

But the copy is not over yet, which shows that there are still tests in the future.

Last night's was just an appetizer.

If according to this logic, the test related to Bai An's memories is almost all water, then wouldn't he be able to pass the test lying down?

The sudden overflow of rainwater in the room is more like a ghostly trick.

Bai Miao walked out of the room and checked the various traps and formations he had set up, but none of them were triggered.

"Isn't it a ghost..."

Bai Miao was very confident in his arrangement. If a ghost really entered the yard last night, it would have at least triggered the most basic alarm formation, right?

The principle of this formation is the simplest. As long as there is a little bit of underworld breath, it will burn violently.

The flames burned out are not simple. The flames triggered by the alarm array are not restricted by normal combustion conditions.

"Is it an illusion in your head?"

Is it a mental attack?

Bai Miao walked slowly to the mirror, his heart crossed, and he directly used psychoanalysis.

But the object of Bai Miao's psychoanalysis is not himself, but Bai An.

Bai An is not dead yet, his spirit still exists.

"If I can listen to my sister well..."

"People can't live without water, but I started to be afraid of water..."

"I should stay in that summer and not grow up alone..."

There was a sharp pain in his head, and Bai Miao also had hallucinations in front of his eyes.

Crooked blood-red words emerged in the void, filled with Bai An's regret and fear.

The first time he used psychoanalysis on Bai An, it failed. Bai Miao did not see Bai An's mental body in the mirror.

However, I saw the words that seemed to be in Bai An's heart, which at least showed that his method was somewhat effective.

If you continue to put it off, as the graduation day gets closer and closer, I am afraid that the mental attacks you will receive will become stronger and stronger.

"Are you afraid of water?"

Bai Miao tried to walk to the water tank, but when he was less than half a meter away from the water tank, his legs seemed to be filled with lead and he could not move at all.

My body...can't move...

There seems to be another force in the body that avoids getting close to the water source.

After several attempts, Bai Miao realized that this was Bai An's past consciousness fighting for control of his body.

This is a very strange thing.

In the past, when I participated in dungeons as a door-knocker, I had never experienced a time when the original owner took back control of his body.

"On the ninth day of September, it is appropriate to offer sacrifices...

"If you want to go back to that summer, then I'll take you home and have a look. You probably won't object."

Bai An didn't go back for who knows how many years.

Maybe I can find some solutions myself when I return to my hometown.

There are still relatives like the uncle who works as a farmer in his hometown in the countryside, but because of Bai An's distortion of reality, relatives like the uncle think that Bai An's parents are still alive.

Bai Miao couldn't remember whether he moved around during the New Year. All memories of winter and summer vacations had been erased.

Soon, Bai Miao got on the bus back to his hometown.

After asking Bai Miao where he was going, the conductor on the bus gave him a ticket and didn't care much about it.

The buses from the county to the countryside are quite convenient, but the last section of the mountain road home is more difficult to walk.

Along the way, Bai Miao looked at the terraced fields and the farmers working among them, and he felt a sense of expectation in his heart.

It was the expectation that after the holidays when I was a child, I could go back to my hometown and play freely in the mountains and fields.

Returning to the countryside from the county town can release children's nature.

He chased chickens and dogs in the yard, climbed into other people's trees and picked fruits, and used bamboo sticks to poke the honeycombs on the roof beams.

Memories all came to mind.

Bai Miao realized that these were his lost vacation memories.

In every scene of memory, there is the shadow of that girl.

Her body shape has always remained that summer vacation, but she will appear every summer vacation, accompanying Bai An to play in the countryside.

With Bai An, they became the famous twins in Baijiatun.

With the power of distorting reality, Bai An made everyone in Baijiatun believe that his sister was still alive.

Can I see my sister when I return to my hometown?

Bai Miao thought so.

Soon, the bus arrived at the market. As soon as Bai Miao got off the bus, there was a little old man on the roadside, chewing melon seeds and asked: "Isn't this the youngest son of Bai Chen's family? Why did you come back alone? Your father." Where are mom and your sister?"

Seeing Bai Miao's confused gaze, the little old man laughed: "You don't recognize me anymore? I hugged you when you were a child! I am your third uncle!"

Bai Miao really didn't remember such a complicated relationship, let alone children. Even many college students were blinded when they returned to their hometown.

"I came back by car first... they have something to do and will arrive later."
