In fact, it never occurred to me that it would have anything to do with me. I had no interest in old wood, had never been to that city, and had nothing to do with it. Although there are some things in the world that have nothing to do with each other at all, but when they develop, they become very related. But when Song Ziran started talking about this matter to me, I never expected it to be related to me. I looked at Song Ziran with extremely doubtful eyes: what's going on, please explain in detail. Song Tianran took a breath. When he suddenly heard Mrs. Huang asking him this, he couldn't help but take a breath. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

The old lady Huang seemed very anxious: Do you know this person?His name is Wesley. Song Ziran saw that Mrs. Huang's expression was very anxious, so he nodded vigorously: Yes, yes, his name is Wesley. Mrs. Huang's reaction was extremely strange. She was rubbing her hands while spinning rapidly in the Buddhist hall. Compared with the scene of her knocking on the wooden fish just now, the scene was completely different. She turned around and asked again: Do you know this Wesley very well? Song naturally did not answer immediately.Firstly, because Mrs. Huang's expression and actions were very weird and unexpected, which horrified him; secondly, as I said, his character is not very straightforward, and he feels that he is not very familiar with me. It's hard to answer, because it's in the middle if you say you're familiar or not, and if you say raw or not.

He didn't answer right away, but Mrs. Huang asked a series of questions: Is this Wesley really supernatural?I heard that he has a lot of airs, he has never been in contact with the government, and he doesn't do things for the government. Does he really have so many weird experiences? Song Ziran was overwhelmed by the series of questions and didn't know how to answer them. After Mrs. Huang stopped talking, he said: "I know him, but I can't be considered too familiar with him. I have a nephew, and I often get in touch with him." Mrs. Huang looked directly at Song Ziran and said something else.

Before Song Ziran told me what the old lady said, he had an explanation.He said: I was very impressed by what Mrs. Huang said next, so I can easily paraphrase it word for word.But the conscience of heaven and earth, I don't know what she means by these words. At this time, I also felt that the matter was very strange, and I said: Then please repeat it verbatim. At that time, Mrs. Huang stared at Song Ziran: Don't you know him very well?The intelligence information says that you can contact him and hand over the task to him, but it seems not true. Hmph, what happened? Not only did Mrs. Huang speak with hatred, but when she said it, she stomped her feet again and again, as if she had done something wrong.

Song Ziran was completely confused about what happened. Although some things happened later, he still didn't understand until he told me what happened. He looked at me with a very suspicious expression, waiting for my explanation, and I also looked at him with suspicious eyes. I wondered whether everything he said to me was the truth. It is not surprising that an old lady in an ancient city knew of me when she was knocking on a wooden fish, because I have been writing down my own strange experiences after I have had them.Over the years, those accounts have been widely circulated, and the old lady has come into contact with them before, and they are very common.

However, it is a bit strange that the old lady is very eager to contact me. Maybe the old man has some troubles and wants to ask me for help. That's not unusual. Song Ziran's sister, the Wenmen Song family, once asked me to cut the ribbon for a ballet school for young people. There are many strange things and strange people in the world. However, it is a bit unbelievable to hear that the old lady Huang used the word "information" in what she said to Song Ziran. Song Ziran saw what I was thinking, and he raised his hand: If there is a single word of falsehood in everything I said, I will die badly.

I waved my hand and muttered: Why did you have to punish such a poisonous oath? What's wrong with you? Song Ziran's expression was blank and helpless, his lips moved a few times, but he stopped talking. At that time, I didn't pay attention to him because I wanted to catch up with the train of thought. Later, I realized that the matter was indeed extremely important to Song Ziran, because he fell in love with Huang Fangzi at first sight and couldn't help himself. If the matter is not handled properly, it will affect his life. lifetime. This is something I only found out after the fact.

At that time, I continued to think about it, and felt that Song Ziran's application to work in that city, letting him live in that house, and letting him meet Huang Fangzi and Mrs. Huang were carefully arranged in advance. Usually, such careful arrangements are called conspiracy. Every conspiracy has a purpose, and the purpose of this conspiracy is also obvious, that is, because the intelligence information says that Song Tianran is very familiar with me, and he can contact me through Song Tianran. Moreover, the one who urgently wants to contact me is likely to be the government, because the government, officials, and tasks were mentioned in Mrs. Huang's question.

Since I describe my experience, everything about me is also transparent, and I don't need intelligence data to investigate.Indeed, I hate the government, especially the government that is corrupt, backward, ignorant, and cruel. When I realized that the incident might start from me, and it was related to the government, I was very sensitive. I stretched out my hand and pointed the palm of my hand towards Song Ziran. Everyone knew that it meant to stop. My intention is obvious, I am expressing to Song Ziran: If possible, please stop here, I don't want to have any further development, because if it continues to develop, it is very likely that something I don't want to participate in will happen.

It is difficult for people to do what they want to do, but it is easy not to do what they don't want to do. Song naturally understood what I meant, and, from the words of Mrs. Huang, he also analyzed that the matter might have something to do with the government.He held his head in his hands and didn't speak for a while. Although I sympathized with him very much, I hardened my heart again and kept silent. After a while, Song Ziran said: Can you allow me to finish the story of my experience in that room? I asked: How long have you been in that house? Song Ziran said: Three days and two and a half hours.

I snorted: Then, will you carry out your liaison mission? Song Ziran's face flushed red, and he argued: No, it's because things are really incredible, so I came here When he said this, he stopped abruptly, with a sullen expression on his face: "Okay, I didn't come to look for you, so I left." I raised my head and didn't hold back.I know that doing so will hurt Song Tianran's self-esteem, and I may miss an incredible event.But I really can't take the risk to continue, and I might get involved with that kind of government.I'd rather deal with cannibal wildlings than have anything to do with that kind of power. Song Ziran saw that I had no intention of keeping him after he stood up, so he couldn't help being stunned and stood there for a while. For half a minute, I didn't look at him at all. He walked towards the door, and when he reached the door, he said loudly: "It's because my narrative skills are poor that I can't arouse your interest?" I sighed: You don't understand, Xiao Song, no matter how good the food is, if there are dead cockroaches in it, you won't touch it. Your story is very attractive, and it also aroused my curiosity. Forgive me for not wanting to touch that kind of government. Song Ziran's face turned red and white, and he struggled to say: What if the matter is related to my lifelong happiness? For a while, I didn't feel sorry for it, and I was thinking in my heart: What nonsense!How can things be related to lifelong happiness?But at this moment, Bai Su's voice was suddenly heard from upstairs: That's another matter of course. With a few words, Bai Su had already walked down the stairs.When Song Ziran saw Bai Su, he was overjoyed immediately. He took a few steps forward, but he didn't know what to say, and let out a meaningless sound from his mouth. When I heard that Bai Su was disconnected, I felt relieved that the matter would continue. Even if something I really don't want to do happens, it's none of my business. I can let Bai Su deal with it. Who told her to say otherwise? . She went downstairs and said to Song Ziran: I'm upstairs, I can't hear everything, what's the matter?It sounds like you have discovered a Shenmu Palace, which is a bit like the palace of the giant tree spirit monarch in legendary fairy tales. In this palace, Dongfang Jiayimu, the daughter of Emperor Qing lived?Is an extremely touching princess the key to your lifelong happiness? Bai Su said it in one breath, elated.She seldom had such a situation, presumably it was because Song Tianran fell in love at first sight and was happy. At this time, I suddenly realized that he must have promised Huang Fang's mother and daughter that he could please me. If he failed, he would lose his promise to the beautiful woman and affect his lifelong happiness. This idea is very exaggerated. It seems that Wen Baoyu's exaggeration comes from his mother's lineage. I immediately laughed: great!Very good!With Mrs. Wei on the stage, it is better than Wesley. This is the truth, Bai Su's ability to deal with things is above me, not below me.Bai Su also naturally understood my intentions, she said to Song Ziran: You only talked about the next morning, and you will hear everything about the third day and two and a half hours. Song Ziran looked at me with a happy expression on his face.Of course I understood what he meant, he was asking if I would let him speak, but I deliberately misinterpreted his meaning and said loudly: If you don't want me to listen, I can avoid it. Song Ziran hurriedly said: "Where, where, Mr. Wei, I had a bad attitude just now, I'm sorry!" I smiled and waved my hand, and Bai Su sat down beside me.Song Ziran continued to talk about his experience At that time, Mrs. Huang's words and deeds, Jin Song was naturally surprised, he was not stupid, so he asked: Mrs. Huang, do you want to find Wesley? This question, under the circumstances at the time, should be extremely reasonable.But after Mrs. Huang heard this, she was suddenly shocked. Then, she covered her mouth with her hands, as if she had slipped her mouth just now, and said something she shouldn't have said, and then she stammered: You can say yes, or you can say no, well, let's talk about it later No I won't say anything more. As she spoke, she was walking forward in a hurry, as if she was afraid of Song Ziran's further questioning, so she was eager to avoid him. Song Ziran was even more baffled. Mrs. Huang walked away for about ten steps, and then said: You just treat this as your own house. After saying this, she turned around the corner of the corridor and disappeared. Song Tianran was extremely puzzled: he thought that maybe people would behave strangely when they were old, so he didn't have to go to the company this day, and in the rest of the time, he would observe the house everywhere, everything he saw and everything he found Every structure made him inexplicably excited, convinced that this house was unparalleled in the world and of incomparable value, and he couldn't even imagine why such a house would not be recorded. That whole day, he couldn't ask anyone this question, because he walked around the house and didn't see Mrs. Huang again. Although the room is big, Song naturally walks around, so he should be able to meet him. From this, we can see that Mrs. Huang is avoiding him on purpose. And in the room, there was no one else except Huang's mother and daughter, plus him. Although the old lady Huang was gone, when it was time to eat, there were delicious meals on the tables in the dining room.After dinner, Song Ziran gradually calmed down from the extreme excitement. At this time, he recalled the conversation with Mrs. Huang and her expression, which made him very puzzled, and made him feel that in this unparalleled wooden structure building, there was a lot of people. Mysterious and spooky. He also faintly felt that it was not accidental that he came here, he felt that there was an invisible net covering him, or that he had fallen into an invisible trap. When this feeling became more and more intense, the joy he felt when he first came to that room was naturally unavoidably discounted. Song Ziran told me his own feelings very frankly. He said: If someone made an ingenious arrangement to get me to take the bait, using that house as bait would have been enough.But when I find that everything may be a trap, I can resolutely leave the house and not fall into the net.But that room is not only that room, there is also Huang Fangzi in that room. Bai Su and I were very moved when Song Tianran confided his thoughts to us so openly. Naturally, we all believe in love at first sight, and we also know that the affection between people and things must not be compared with the affection between people. That house couldn't make Song Natural take the bait, but Huang Fangzi could make Song Natural go through fire and water willingly. Bai Su sighed: There must be a precise arrangement in advance, but Huang Fangzi may not be the bait, and the target of the caretaker is not you, but something is done through you. When she said this, she looked at me from Mrs. Huang's words and deeds, and it was obvious that the ultimate goal was me, so I snorted and didn't express my opinion, but just signaled Song Ziran to continue talking. Song Ziran didn't see Huang Fangzi all day, he was worried, and because he thought that there might be an unpredictable trap, he wanted to see Huang Fangzi again, so after dinner, he came to the door and waited for Huang Fangzi to come back. At this time, he knew nothing about this pretty girl who made his heart twitch when he thought of it, even he heard her name from Mrs. Huang, and he only knew that she had gone to school, what? School, he didn't know what to do in school, he didn't even know if she would come back to this room. He walked through the open space, the sun was setting, and the red clouds in the sky gradually turned into purple. He leaned against the wooden fence. When the dusk fell, he saw a bicycle turning into the path leading to the house. The girl, with flying hair and slim figure, is not Yoshiko. Song Ziran is by no means a passionate person on weekdays, and he is even more reserved in front of strange women.But at this moment, he didn't know what kind of passion it was that drove him straight forward, facing the oncoming bicycle, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the handlebar. Fangzi in the car was not overly surprised, but just opened her clear and bright eyes in the twilight, and fixed on Song Ziran. Song Ziran first called out: Fangzi! Then, he didn't know what to say at all, he held the hand of the car, even trembling slightly. What happened next was also very special, unlike ordinary young men and women who met for the first time, the dialogue was quite ingenious. Fangzi smiled, and her smile was like a gentle spring breeze, relaxing Song Ziran's tension. She let out a low cry: Ah, my mother told you my nickname. When Song Ziran heard it, his reaction turned out to be: Fangzi is your nickname, what is your real name? This kind of reaction is of course at the level of a fool, but Fangzi actually replied very formally: My name is Huang Chan, by the way, I am the cicada that is catching mantises. Song Ziran was stunned for a moment: what a unique name. It is quite common to use Chan as a female name.But it is indeed very unique to use the cicada with the remnant sound of cicadas as the name (actually it is a weird word change). When Song Ziran explained this passage in detail, Bai Su and I were both listeners. After hearing the name, Bai Su frowned slightly and looked at me. I raised my eyebrows, and in an instant, I thought that this name might have something to do with the idiom that the mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind. Since the surname is Huang, it is better to be called Huangchan than the oriole. At that time, I didn't know that Bai Su had any special thoughts, and Bai Su didn't express any further. It wasn't until quite some time later that I realized what Bai Su had really thought of at that time, which made me admire her very much. At that moment, Song Ziran finally regained his composure and introduced himself: My name is Song Ziran. Fangzi Yanran: It is also a very unique name to enter the house? When she raised her eyebrows and said this, Song Ziran felt as if she had been electrocuted, and quickly let go of her hand: Of course!certainly! Fangzi turned sideways and got out of the car with an extremely graceful posture. The pleasing movement made Song Ziran involuntarily let out a sound of admiration. Fangzi pushed the bicycle forward, Song Ziran really wanted to stick close to her, but he was afraid of being abrupt, the distance was not long, but Fangzi went around the house and pushed the bicycle to a place quite far behind the house. Corner parking.After putting away the bicycle, she explained: This bicycle is the only modern object in the house. I am afraid that it will destroy the harmony and integrity of the whole house, so I always try to put it as far away as possible. This very unusual remark naturally made Song Ziran admire from the bottom of his heart. After making a series of voices of appreciation, he said: You are also a modern person, yet you fit in so well with this house. Song Ziran was praising Fangzi, and Fangzi knew all the reasons, so her pretty face was full of joy.But the joy was fleeting, replaced by a very helpless melancholy, which made people feel distressed. Naturally, Song couldn't help but let out an ah, wanting to ask, but didn't know where to start.Because judging from Fangzi's expression, she seems to be preoccupied and has a lot of secrets, so it's a long story. Naturally, Song didn't force others to tell the secret truth in his heart, so he hesitated to speak. After a very short time, Yoshiko has returned to normal. When Song Ziran was talking about this verse to me and Bai Su, he stroked his face with his hand and said: At that time, I really thought that Fangzi was an ancient beauty. At a loss. Bai Su and I didn't make fun of him, because when we heard him talk up to this point, Bai Su and I also had the same thought. An ancient beauty, due to the staggered time and space, is not too unbelievable in modern times. And Song Ziran met Huang Fangzi again less than an hour later. After Huang Fangzi changed into traditional clothes, the feeling that Fangzi might be an ancient beauty became stronger. First, after entering the house, Fangzi went straight to the dining room. After Song Ziran ate, someone obviously cleaned it up and replaced it with new meals. Moreover, there was a washstand beside her. Fangzi came to the shelf to wash her face and rinse mouth, sat down at the dinner table. Song Ziran knew it was impolite, but he still stood aside, staring at her intently. Before Fangzi picked up the chopsticks, she smiled at Song Tianran. Song Ziran felt his gaffe and blushed.Fangzi said: "After dinner, if you have something to say, please meet in the living room." Song Ziran agreed repeatedly, and left backwards. After returning to his room, he pressed his hands on his chest, his heart was beating wildly for a while, and he couldn't calm down.After walking around the room more than a dozen times, knowing that Yoshiko would not go to the living room so soon, he left the room. At this time, it was already dark, and there were not lights everywhere in the house. The whole house was in mysterious darkness. For a short distance, one even had to touch the wall. But there was a soft light in the living room, Song Ziran thought that Fangzi had arrived, and his heart beat wildly again. After entering the living room, where there was no one there, Song Ziran realized that the lamp was probably prepared by Mrs. Huang.Thinking of this old woman, it was weird enough. In this room, she seemed to have the ability to be invisible. She could completely disappear, but she was everywhere, arranging everything properly. Song Tianran tried his best to calm down, and thought about what he wanted to say to Fangzi when Fangzi came later.But he immediately found that his thoughts were in a mess, and he didn't know what he wanted to say to Fangzi, which made him even more anxious. In this situation of worrying about gains and losses, he saw Yoshiko walking in.Fangzi changed into a moon-white satin jacket.In a trance, Song Ziran opened his mouth wide, and he didn't say a word until Fangzi came close: You don't belong to this world. This sentence sounded nonsensical, but Fangzi understood it completely when she heard it, and she immediately responded: Of course I am just like you in this world. Song Tianran was a little at a loss, Fangzi took a breath: What did you say to my mother? Huang Fangzi's words pulled Song Ziran out of his messy thoughts.
