Master a little skill every day

Bai Miao casually excused himself.

Everything on the roadside seemed familiar yet strange.

Bai Miao felt that he had seen everyone's face, but no one could name them.

It was about three kilometers from the market to his hometown. Bai Miao trekked for nearly two hours before he saw the white roof halfway up the mountain.

In my memory, I should be able to hear the rooster crow when I walk to this place.

But at this time there was dead silence.

On the way home, there were already piles of fallen leaves. Stepping on the dead leaves, Bai Miao saw the old house covered with vines standing alone in the dirty courtyard.

"Why is it so abandoned...hasn't it been properly cleaned over the years?"

Every time he took a step towards the old house, Bai Miao felt that his body was getting smaller and younger.

The sight becomes shorter and shorter, and the big tree that was unattainable when I was a child is still the same now.

Various physical attributes also decreased until each one became consistent with the standards of a six-year-old child.

But Bai Miao is still moving towards home.

"Brother, you shouldn't have come back at this time. The time has not yet come."

In the center of the yard, the girl with dark skin, wearing a thin shirt, jeans, and a straw hat slowly appeared, and said to Bai Miao sadly.

"Sister, I want to face my past. I don't want to run away from it anymore."

Thinking of this girl staying here day after day, year after year, a trace of bitterness flashed through Bai Miao's heart.

The girl lowered her head. After a brief silence, she sighed: "Then sister is waiting for you in the house."

With that said, she walked towards the door and passed directly through it.

Bai Miao chased after him, struggled to tear off the ivy on the door, pushed open the door that had been sealed for a long time, smelled the damp mold smell in the room, and with the help of the sunlight cast from the gaps in the tiles, he saw a mourning hall deep in the hall on the first floor. .

The mountains of red candles piled under the mourning hall have melted and spread around, and the countless gray-white plant ash symbolizes the countless paper money burned here.

In this pile of ashes, Bai Miao found some skeletons made of thin bamboo strips.

There are also half-burned paper figures.

On the mourning hall, from left to right, there are three portraits.

Bai An's father, Bai An's mother, and Bai An.

"Brother, the house is a little messy and I haven't cleaned it up yet."

The girl appeared next to Bai Miao, squatted down, and picked up the dust on the ground bit by bit.

Bai Miao stared at Bai An's portrait and felt for his pulse.

Didn't jump.

"Sister, am I dead?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are living well."

The girl wanted to touch Bai Miao's head, but her palm came up empty.

She retracted her hand in embarrassment.

"Sister, can you tell me what the truth was about that day?"

"Brother, stop asking, can you go back to the county?"

The girl's voice was a little panicked: "You are about to graduate. Can I take you to play during the summer vacation after graduation?"

Bai Miao was silent and smiled bitterly: "Sister, it seems that the one who needs to face the past is not me, but you."

"No...it's not like that..."

Bai Miao felt that the mourning hall in front of him was quickly moving away from him, and his body was also growing rapidly in a short period of time. When he came back to his senses, he was lying on the bed.

This is my parents' home in the county seat, my own bedroom.

The time is... twelve fifteen in the morning.

The sound of boiling oil smoke came from the kitchen, and the fragrant smell of fried meat gradually spread into the room.

"Bai An, get up quickly! Get ready for lunch!"

Bai An's father knocked on the door and urged Bai Miao: "On Saturday, I just sleep and don't get up early to help with housework."

Bai Miao rubbed his swollen temples and gradually realized the problem.

"I am the fictional person..."

……

"Miss Bai Ping, do you want to watch your brother grow up with your own eyes?"

"Yes... I really want to see what he looks like when he grows up."

"Then are you willing to give up your memory and your life in exchange for your brother's elementary school years? You will be a bystander, you will be a witness, and you will also be the executioner who brings the story to an end."

"I...I am willing, as long as I can see the day when he graduates from elementary school."

"Okay, thank you for the transaction with Shengshoutang, and I wish us a happy cooperation."

……

Bai Miao finished his lunch at home in silence, sat at his desk, and took out the Barbie doll that appeared on his bedside the night he had a fever.

"Sister, are you there?"

got no response.

Bai Miao directly used psychoanalysis on Barbie.

The figure in his memory appeared again, but Bai Miao noticed that the girl was surrounded by darkness, and she was crouching down, with her back facing him, as if huddled in a corner.

The aura technique couldn't tell anything about this doll, but advanced psychoanalysis revealed that it contained someone's thoughts.

Bai Miao stood up and walked out of the room. At this moment, white confetti was floating everywhere in the room.

Just when Bai Miao put his hand on the door handle of the dusty room, his parents suddenly appeared behind Bai Miao and warned: "Bai An, didn't you say you are not allowed to enter this room casually? Have you finished your homework? ?”

Bai Miao turned around and smiled slightly: "Mom, Dad, I have been admitted to the No. [-] Middle School in the city. I don't need to do any more homework."

"Have you exercised? You stay at home every day and don't even know how to go out to play with your friends."

Bai Miao still answered with ease: "I am stronger than an adult now. I will probably grow to 1.8 meters after graduation."

In terms of performance and health, Bai Miao passed the test perfectly.

The figures of the parents disappeared, and the dusty door slowly opened.

The inside was still full of dust. Bai Miao strode into the house and opened the closet.

"Sister, I found you."

In the closet, a dark-skinned girl wearing a straw hat was trembling in the corner.

"Brother... don't look for me, you have to live your own life."

The girl cried and turned her head: "I want to watch you grow up."

"Sister, you see that I have grown up healthily, but you, on the other hand, are still the same as you were when you were a child."

The girl looked Bai Miao up and down, pursed her lips and nodded: "You have grown taller than me."

"So, sister, can you come out of the closet?"

"If I come out...you will..."

The girl hugged her legs and buried her face deeply in her legs: "Sister, I still want to see you grow up, see you become an adult, see you get married and have children..."

"Sister, this is unrealistic. It's time for you to step out."

Bai Miao took out the White Rabbit toffee from his pocket that his grandma had given him when he was in second grade.

Even after five years, it's still as new as ever.

"Do you still remember this toffee? When we were young, we liked to eat this the most. Grandma would give us one each, and you would always give me yours."

"This candy...it's a good thing you didn't eat it."

There was a deep apology on the girl's face, which further strengthened Bai Miao's suspicion.

"You made a deal with Shengshoutang to create me, right?"

I have never been the child who suddenly grew up after suffering a disaster.

It is another child who suffered a catastrophe and was unable to accept the reality. With the help of Shengshoutang, he was born with a twisted wish.

The girl nodded: "I thought Shengshoutang would give you a perfect and healthy childhood...but I didn't expect you to suffer so much pain...I'm sorry..."

"It's okay. I have overcome these difficulties and become a better version of myself. Before I come to an end, I would like to ask, sister, what was the truth back then?"

The girl wiped her tears and suddenly held Bai Miao's hand: "It's my sister who didn't catch you well..."

"No, sister, I shouldn't have asked to go play in the river. If anyone made a mistake in this matter, it was Shengshoutang who led all of this.

"Is the upstream flood discharge really such a coincidence? Is it also a coincidence that Shengshoutang came to our door so quickly after the incident?"

Bai Miao is talking nonsense now. As long as his sister's self-blame can be resolved and she can get out of the shadow of her childhood, Shengshoutang will be the perfect one to take the blame.

"Brother...are you saying that Shengshoutang wanted to gain my memory and lifespan and caused that disaster?"

"Ah."

The girl pondered and smiled bitterly: "But it is indeed because of me that you were swept away by the current."

"Sister, I don't blame you."

Bai Miao was shocked, because the words were not said by him, but by Bai An.

A child's voice was mixed with a slightly mature voice. No matter in the past or now, Bai An never blamed his sister.

This is the best sister in the world.

"Xiao An..."

"Sister, let me go."

The girl wiped her tears and struggled to stand up.

"Xiao An, did my sister do something wrong by doing this? You should have rested in peace."

"I also want to grow up with my sister, but we can't violate the laws of birth, old age, sickness and death."

"The rule... is, you are right. It's time to cut off the shackles of pain..."

The girl laughed with relief, walked out of the closet, stood in front of Bai Miao, raised her hand and placed it on top of her head to indicate her height, which had just reached Bai Miao's waist.

"Xiao An, you have really grown up.

"It's time for me to set you free..."

Bai Miao stretched out his hand and hugged this obsessive sister: "Sister, this is also freeing you. I hope you can create your own future in the future."

"Well...goodbye, Xiao An."

Bai Miao's figure gradually became illusory, and the scenery in the entire room was also changing rapidly.

There has never been this home, there is only the girl who stays in the deserted rural courtyard and cleans the dust alone.

This year, Bai An was 12 years old and she was 7 years old.
