He also told his uncle that he believed in Xiao Xiao.
He hopes he can help his uncle.
…
But what does this mean now?
Gave uncle hope and disappointed him?
…
Xu Zizhen regretted it a little.
Maybe he shouldn't have brought Xiao Xiao and the others here just because of luck.
…
Did he make his uncle sad again?
…
"It's right there in the tree."
Xiao Xiao did not have any mood swings because of Xu Zizhen's questioning tone.
He raised his head and met those white eyes.
…
It turns out to be Fengzi ghost.
The old man of Maple Wood is in human form, also called Ling Maple.
…
Long white hair hangs down among the branches of the maple tree.
There are several delicate green maple leaves on it.
It looks like it was picked from the maple tree.
Green and white are becoming more and more clear and ethereal.
…
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but reached out and gently touched the hair in front of him a few times.
Silky and cool to the touch, it exudes a faint scent of maple leaves.
…
Because everyone followed Xiao Xiao's gaze and looked at the maple leaves above, no one noticed Xiao Xiao's somewhat strange behavior at this time.
…
Even though he knew there was nothing on the tree, he had just seen it many times.
But when he heard Xiao Xiao's affirmative voice, Xu Zizhen couldn't help but look up at the crown of the maple tree.
The light golden sunlight outlined the delicate outline of the maple leaves, shining with little brilliance before his eyes.
But, no one.
Xu Zizhen looked at Xiao Xiao, "Obviously-" There is no one there.
The rest of the words disappeared in Xiao Xiao's throat when he looked over.
...
His eyes were calm and even a little cold, but he was so serious that it was impossible to refute him.
What he said is true.
Xu Zizhen understands this very clearly.
…
Xiao Xiao retracted his gaze from Xu Zizhen and turned to Uncle Xu.
"Uncle Xu, it never left."
The maple tree is here, where can Lingfeng go?
…
"Didn't leave?"
Uncle Xu suddenly wanted to laugh, what happened today?
Why can't he always understand the child in front of him?
Is there really a big age gap, so is there a generation gap?
...
Didn't leave?
What do you mean she never left?
Since you didn't leave, why didn't you come to see him?
...
What does his waiting here for so many years mean?
What's the point of talking to himself like a fool?
What does it mean that he keeps thinking about it?
...
Uncle Xu originally thought that her leaving without saying goodbye was the most outrageous thing he could imagine her doing.
But he found that the child in front of him revealed a vague fact that made him even more frightened.
...
She didn't leave, she just didn't come to see him.
No matter how much he missed her.
...
At that time, he almost went crazy because of her disappearance.
He originally planned to confess to her after the college entrance examination.
He thought their relationship would come naturally.
Because, hasn't she been with him for so many years?
She always only played with him.
They have obviously always gotten along well.
All of this gave him the illusion that they felt the same.
She also likes him.
...
Although she was neither enthusiastic nor said a word to him.
Even the smile is stingy.
...
However, he remembered every smile she showed to him.
His eyebrows were curved, pure and clean without any impurities, and so beautiful that he was speechless.
...
Making her smile has always been his tireless effort and persistence.
...
After so many years, what he missed most was her smile.
He really wanted to see her smile again.
...
He envisioned their reunion countless times.
Different occasions, different seasons, different colors of maple leaf clips on her head.
The only thing that was the same was the happy smile on her face the moment they met.
It must be as simple and clean as I remember, and even more stunning.
...
But this picture suddenly stopped, and slowly faded away from its original bright colors.
Immediately, traces of cracks appeared on the screen, and it gradually became fragmented.
It seems that in the next second, it will turn into millions of fragments and be annihilated in nothingness.
...
"What's the meaning?"
Xu Zizhen couldn't help but ask.
His uncle's expression made him worry and he supported his uncle.
I always felt that my uncle looked like he was about to collapse.
Obviously, so many years of denial and waiting have not defeated him.
...
Xiao Xiao did not look at Xu Zizhen because of his question.
His eyes always fell on Uncle Xu's face.
Even though this gentle man unconsciously showed a pleading look to him, Xiao Xiao's eyes were calm and he said almost coldly: "Uncle Xu, it has always been there."
"It's just that you can't see it anymore."
...
"The old man is right."
...
Zhang Bo and others opened their mouths but did not say anything to stop them.
Although Uncle Xu's condition really looks too bad.
It made them look away a little unbearably.
...
Zhang Bo's slightly tilted face showed a hint of surprise.
Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng had such expressions as expected.
They had inferred the truth of the matter from Xiao Xiao's words before.
But when they actually heard Xiao Xiao say it, they couldn't help but sigh.
...
They all wanted to see monsters before, and it didn't matter even if there was a time limit.
But now, they are not sure.
...
What if after seeing a monster, you develop feelings for the monster, but you never see him again?
Just like Uncle Xu.
It was clear that the monster I wanted to see was always by my side, but I had been looking for it for so many years without knowing anything about it.
...
Such a price... is a bit too high.
...
Xu Zizhen was stunned.
Uncle Xu was also stunned.
There was the same confusion and confusion on their faces.
...
But Xiao Xiao's last words made Uncle Xu's eyes gradually startle.
What the old man said...is it right?
...
"Child, don't force me."
"Your fate with that monster...is over."
...
The old man's hoarse voice echoed in his mind, playing it over and over again.
It was as if someone was hammering these words into his flesh and blood, and even into his soul.
...
What he had only half-believed and strongly resisted and disgusted before was the truth he had been pursuing all along.
Uncle Xu seemed to have suffered a severe head injury.
I just feel like my whole brain is groggy and I can't figure out the slightest clue.
...
"hehe."
Uncle Xu suddenly covered his face and laughed softly.
...
"uncle?"
Xu Zizhen shouted worriedly.
...
Uncle Xu waved his free hand.
"If you really don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer a lot."
There was even a hint of smile in his words, but the hand covering his face wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Everyone wonders, are these physiological tears? Or is this tired-looking man really crying?
...
Uncle Xu looked at Xu Zizhen aside and smiled very self-deprecatingly.
