"Now, let's go back the way we came." Xie Zhiming said to Mu Qiubai.

Xie Zhiming was careful not to disturb the dolls that were full of obsessions. He quickly climbed to the place where the oil painting was hung.

Xie Zhiming took apart the oil painting, and he went in first, then asked Mu Qiubai to jump up so that he could grab his hand.

Mu Qiubai jumped directly onto the table with his short legs. He accidentally kicked off the candlestick on the table, and a sudden loud noise immediately attracted the attention of all the dolls.

The puppet, whose body was burning with flames, jumped directly onto the table, trying to reach out and pull Mu Qiubai down.

"quick!"

When Xie Zhiming saw this scene, he yelled at Mu Qiubai.

Mu Qiubai was pulled back by Xie Zhiming's voice and jumped up quickly, but did not jump up.

Soon some dolls climbed up.

Mu Qiubai wagged his tail like a puppy, tripped the nearby candlestick to the ground, and rolled on top of the dolls. The moment the candlestick came into contact with the dolls, it melted instantly.

This scared Mu Qiubai's hair off.

Xie Zhiming didn't care so much anymore, he leaned down again, directly grabbed Mu Qiubai's tail and got up to enter the passage behind the oil painting.

The moment the puppet touched Mu Qiubai, his entire puppy body was pulled back.

After a doll and a toy dog ​​returned to the passage, their entire bodies collapsed to the ground.

They were surprised to find that the passage was very clean and filled with soft carpets.

The sound of wind chimes in their ears attracted their attention. Xie Zhiming stood up and walked forward slowly. He saw that the passage was filled with many clothes and shoes worn by dolls and some daily necessities.

As they walked forward, they passed by a clean bed.

Finally they came to the end of the passage.

A purple-red wind chime hung at the end of the pipe, swaying gently and making a pleasant sound.

The scenery outside is very beautiful, the blue sky, the white and soft clouds, the temperature of the sun is soft and warm.

In the distance are vast expanses of fields, just looking at them can calm you down.

The purple-red wind chimes are still swinging gently.

But what made Xie Zhiming feel a little strange was that he didn't feel a trace of wind at this time.

Xie Zhiming curiously touched the wind chime behind him, but when his fingertips touched the wind chime, he seemed to hear a sound.

"...Are you back?"

That was a man's voice.

Before Xie Zhiming had time to recall, he was loaded into his memory.

But this time it was not his personal experience. He was observing everything that happened silently from a third perspective.

Xie Zhiming saw the doll's hand touching the wind chime.

The wind chime is making a pleasant sound.

At this time, a sound caused the puppet's movements to pause.

"...Are you back?"

Xie Zhiming turned around suddenly and glanced at the long and dark passage behind him.

Then he saw the doll and quickly stood up and walked out of the passage.

Xie Zhiming followed and looked at everything around him. The small bed placed in the passage, as well as the clothes and blankets seemed to have accumulated a lot of dust. The original color of the wind chime could no longer be seen.

After Xie Zhiming followed the doll out, he saw Shen Luli kneeling at the entrance of the cave at the exit to the attic.

At this time, Shen Luli was looking at the doll nervously. He reached out and carefully took the doll down from the passage.

He heard Shen Luli say: "You're missing. I've been worried, thinking you don't want me anymore."

But the doll in Shen Luli's arms stretched out his hand and gently brushed Shen Luli's eyes. He said, "How could it be? I'm missing one leg, so I can't run very far."

"Don't say that, Xiao Mo, I will help you make another leg..."

Then he saw Shen Luli taking the doll away.

Xie Zhiming quickly followed and watched Shen Luli appear in the hall of the Shen family holding a box containing a doll.

Not only was Shen Luli the only one in the hall, there was also Shen Yuying with a gloomy face, and an elderly man stood between them.

The old man's brows were furrowed, shrouded in deep sorrow.

"Yu Ying, Lu Li, you are both the best descendants of this generation of the Shen family. No matter what the outcome is today, I hope you two brothers will stop fighting."

"Hmph, I just want to get my things back, and everything in the Shen family should belong to me." Shen Yuying looked at Shen Luli with a proud attitude.

"Grandpa, let's let our strength speak for itself in everything."

Shen Luli ignored Shen Yuying's provocation.

They opened the wooden box containing the doll and found that Shen Yuying had made a female doll: "This doll has been adjusted many times since it was designed. It is the most perfect doll."

"It is indeed a nearly perfect doll. Yu Ying, you did a great job."

Shen Luli looked at Shen Yuying's puppet and said nothing.

Shen Yuying, who was praised by his grandfather, was obviously in a good mood at this time. He looked at the doll box held tightly in Shen Luli's arms and said, "Take out your doll now and have a look. Hold it so tightly. Could it be that after seeing my doll, I feel ashamed?"

Shen Luli gritted his teeth, stared at Shen Yuying's face, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He reached out and opened the box containing the doll. The moment he opened it, there was no sound around him.

Shen Luli's eyes fell on the sleeping beauty-like doll lying in the box. He was slightly startled. He raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yuying and his grandfather.

I saw them all staring blankly at the doll, not daring to take a breath.

At this moment, Shen Luli couldn't help but feel a little flustered. He seemed to regret this decision.

After a while, Mr. Shen's eyes suddenly shed tears, and he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Shen Luli.

"The Shen family finally has a successor."

When Shen Yuying saw this scene, it seemed as if the emotions he had accumulated for a long time suddenly broke out at this moment. He put the puppet box in his hand on the ground angrily.

He glanced at Shen Luli with red eyes, then immediately turned around and left.

When Mr. Shen saw Shen Yuying leaving the scene angrily, he sighed for a long time.

He said to Shen Luli: "Yu Ying is jealous by nature, so I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate you, but if you are worried, grandpa will protect you in the end..."

…

Soon the scene in front of Xie Zhiming's eyes changed, and he looked at the rusty wind chime in his hand.

Seeing Mu Qiubai staring at him with curiosity on his face: "What happened to you just now? You ignored me when I talked to you and just stood here without moving. I thought something had happened to you. "

"It's okay." Xie Zhiming said to Mu Qiubai.

At this time, the system's voice appeared in Xie Zhiming's mind: [Congratulations to the host for obtaining: 3/3 Xiaojiu memory fragments.]

【The task has been completed.】

[Missing Wind Chime: When the wind chime rings, it means that someone is missing you, which represents the lover’s deep love. If someone gives you this wind chime, go and express your love quickly, be careful not to miss it~]

Xie Zhiming stroked the wind chime for a moment.

The wind chime seemed to be in terrible condition at this time. It had been corroded by time and wind and rain for so long. In addition to rust, many of the iron sheets on its outer shell were peeling off. It seemed that the rope on it could be broken with just a little force.

It is a miracle that such a fragile wind chime can produce such a clear and sweet sound.

Mu Qiubai looked at Xie Zhiming and kept looking at the wind chime.

He took a few more glances curiously, wondering what was so interesting about a broken wind chime.

"Let's go."

Xie Zhiming withdrew his gaze and turned around.

There was nothing in the passage except a thick layer of dust.

"Mission accomplished."

After Xie Zhiming walked away, Mu Qiubai quietly reached out and touched the wind chime, but there was no sound at all.

Mu Qiubai snorted: "It is indeed a broken wind chime."

As soon as he turned around, he saw Xie Zhiming's back walking away.

"Wait for me, I'll be here soon."

However, after Mu Qiubai left, the crisp sound of wind chimes sounded again behind them.

With the breeze outside the window, it sways gently.

It seems that the sweet sound of the bell can be carried far and wide.

Xie Zhiming heard the sound of wind chimes behind him again, and suddenly felt a little heavy in his heart, and he slowly slowed down his pace.

He seemed to be waiting for Mu Qiubai behind him.
