As a ray of cool breeze hit me in the morning, I shivered inadvertently, but I still reached out and pulled the clothes covering my sister's body.
At this time, the cool breeze came, which seemed to have nothing to do with me. My eyes were dull and only my eyes were moving. My father, the old Taoist priest, and Liu Mengying had not come out yet, so my mind went blank.
"Xiao Xia, go back first." Director Dong came over, took a look at the bridge, and said to me.
"Do you know anything? When will my dad and the others come out?" The weirdness and mystery of the matter had already exceeded my imagination, so I asked immediately.
"Actually, I don't know either. I'm just cooperating in carrying out the task." The board of directors looked at me with a troubled expression and said helplessly.
"No, I have to wait here for them to come out." I didn't even bother to turn my head, and still stared blankly at the bridge that looked ordinary and didn't make any waves.
The director was a little helpless, so he walked aside and ordered two policemen to buy breakfast and come back and handed it to me, but I didn't eat a bite.
However, at noon, my sister woke up and I was in a slightly better mood. My sister looked a little frightened. When she saw me beside him, her uneasy mood calmed down.
Until the afternoon, the Broken Soul Bridge was still the same as before, without any ripples, and my father and the others still did not show up.
I couldn't help but feel a little desperate. The more I thought about the few words my father told me, the more I felt that something was wrong?
thump!
Because of last night's hard work and overexertion, I was exhausted both physically and mentally. I couldn't hold on anymore and fainted in the police car.
When I woke up, I found myself lying on the bed and my sister was holding my head in her hands.
I leaned forward and tried to get up, but my sister woke up.
"Brother, you're awake." My sister looked at me with a tired face and smiled with concern.
"Dad, are they back?"
"Brother, you haven't come back yet." My sister shook her head.
"Oh?" I asked again, "Sister, what time is it now?"
"It's eleven o'clock at night." My sister looked at her phone and said to me.
"Dad, something must have happened to them, or else they haven't come back after such a long time?" I said sadly.
I don’t know where my father and the others went. Why did the three living people disappear into the Broken Soul Bridge out of thin air?
Who made that candle circle? Abe Seimei? What was it doing? These questions lingered in my mind and became unsolvable questions.
It was only later that I learned that the place where my father and others went was the Yin and Yang Realm, which was the place I often went to in my dreams.
Time passed slowly for half a month. During this half month, my sister and I went to Duanhun Bridge several times, but there was still no movement.
In the middle of this, a big thing happened. Because of my father's affairs, I had no intention of going to school, so my sister directly asked for leave for me.
Yun Yi from the police station, on the other hand, would come to my house almost every day, check on my sister and me, and ask my father about their situation.
Due to Abe Seimei's arrest, the previous cases of the mayor's daughter, the strange incident on the overpass, and the case on Fort Street were all settled one by one.
It seems that after Abe Seimei was arrested, his father, the old Taoist priest, and Liu Mengying disappeared, the entire Q City suddenly calmed down without any disturbance.
"Brother Xiaoxia, are you okay?" Yun Yi looked at me and asked with concern.
"Xiaoyi, she's fine." My sister looked at me with empty eyes, and she reluctantly smiled at Yun Yi.
"Let's go, brother Xiaoxia and sister Yuqin, let's go out for a walk. You've been stuck in the house for half a month. It's not a big deal." Yun Yi said with a smile.
"I'm not going."
My sister was also in a bad mood. There was no news about my father and the others. I asked for leave, and she also asked for leave.
For half a month, because my sister and I were bored at home, all we ate was Yun Yilai, and the three of us ate together.
But there is still no news about my father and the others, and I have very little communication with them every day.
On this day, a guest came to the house.
He was an old man, in his early sixties, with a friendly face. When he entered the house, he immediately overrode the guests and asked Yun Yi and his sister to cook.
"What a good boy, you've turned out like this? You've just ruined your skills." The old man glanced at me, as if he hated iron.
I didn't even move my eyes.
"Boy, you can ignore me, but what if you don't want to save people?" The old man saw my indifferent look and snorted coldly.
"Do you know where my dad and the others have gone?" Hearing his words, I jumped up and asked.
"Of course I know." The old man said with a smile, "But you can't be rude. According to your seniority, you should call me Master."
"Master? Master?" I stared at him and repeated, and suddenly I remembered the conversation between the abbot and my father at Yuantong Temple, "Are you a San Xing Sanren?"
"It seems you know everything." The old man said with a smile.
"Master, please save my father and the others." I immediately begged after learning his identity.
"Boy, Master is also a human being, not a god. Not everything can be solved. If everything could be solved, today's situation would not be the same." Sanxing Sanren said with a smile while stroking his gray beard.
"Then what can we do to save my dad and the others?"
"Whether we can be saved or not depends on you?" Sanxing Sanren smiled, but his expression suddenly changed and he murmured, "It's over."
The old man's expression became gloomy, as if he had aged more than ten years, and the smile on his face stiffened, seeming depressed.
When I saw his appearance, I suddenly felt that something was seriously wrong.
"Boy, I'll take the first step." After saying that, the San Xing San people disappeared directly from my sight.
It was beyond my comprehension and I thought my eyes were dazzled.
When my sisters and others finished cooking and brought it out, they asked me who the old man was, and I told them what I had just seen and experienced.
When the two heard this, they looked at each other.
In the afternoon of the next day, Sanxing Sanren came to the house again, but the old man looked depressed and lifeless, and did not say a word.
On the third day, I heard the doorbell ringing, and my sister went downstairs to open the door.
The old Taoist priest and Liu Mengying came back. When they saw me, they lowered their heads and said nothing, just like San Xing San people, they all sat on the sofa and sighed.
My sister's eyes were red, and something seemed wrong to me.
The old Taoist priest and Liu Mengying came back, but my father did not come back. I couldn't help but asked strangely: "Where is my dad?"
"Xiaoxia, sister, I'm sorry for you." Suddenly, Liu Mengying came over and said to me with her eyes red.
Boom!
I just felt like my consciousness was struck by lightning. An ominous premonition hit my heart, and I was afraid to continue listening.
"Xiao Xia, you...your father didn't come out." The old Taoist priest stuttered a little, but I still heard it clearly, and it was like a thunderbolt.
thump!
"Dad, something happened?" I suddenly felt bad and yelled hoarsely. I felt a mouthful of blood welling up in my heart. I was so angry that I fainted.
This blow was like a bolt from the blue to me.
In my mind, my father is an unattainable mountain. How could he not come out? Isn't he very mysterious?
I don't even know many things about him, how could he leave me? I'm still young!
Three days later.
I opened my eyes hazily and saw my sister, Sister Xiaoyi, the old Taoist priest, Liu Mengying and three other groups of people sitting aside with their heads lowered.
"Brother! Brother Xiaoxia, Xiaoxia!"
Several voices sounded at the same time, and people came to me.
"Brother, our dad is gone, but my sister is still here." When my sister talked about her father, her eyes turned red again, and she gently held my hand and comforted me.
"Xiaoxia, there are still us." Yun Yi comforted me with a sad expression.
"Something happened to my father! Something happened to my father!" My eyes were dull and I stared at the ceiling in a daze, looking like a zombie, as if I was crazy.
