The more Fang Zhongyu counted, the more confused and uneasy I felt.
But when I looked down again, Lulu was still the same Lulu, not even a hair had changed.
My eyes were already wide enough to make them pop out, but I didn't see anything strange around her.
But I have seen so many things, and I feel sensitively that they are unusual.
"Fang Zhongyu, I'm going to find my second uncle."
"Ah? Just wait for me!"
The two of us ran to my second uncle's room one after the other. My second uncle was chanting a spell over the dream-killing beast in a can.
Seeing us coming, the second uncle looked back and smiled, but his eyes were a little sad. I knew it was because Lulu was sad.
"If you don't want to go out to play, why did you come here?"
I rubbed my nose and pulled my second uncle over: "Second uncle, just now Fang Zhongyu and I discussed Lulu's behavior today, and we both felt that she was not normal."
The second uncle's hands trembled and his eyes widened: "What do you mean?"
Then Fang Zhongyu counted what he just told me again to his second uncle.
After the second uncle listened, the ashtray was full of cigarette butts again, and the whole room was filled with smoke.
The second uncle rubbed his head and thought for a while: "Girl Yun, do you remember what happened to Lulu?"
I thought about it carefully, starting from this morning... No, it should have been before today. Last night Lulu said that when we grow up, we can't share the same bed.
I didn't care about it before, but now that I think about it, how could Lulu be willing to sleep separately from me?
But... Lulu also said something that surprised me when Uncle Duan and Aunt Duan were arguing, so it must have been before that.
But before that, Lulu was normal. Even when Fang Zhongyu and we were running wildly on a Binhai street, Lulu was still the same Lulu.
That only leaves...!
When I looked up, I happened to see the faces of my second uncle and Fang Zhongyu who were as nervous as steamed buns.
"Second uncle! When we were changing clothes in the mall yesterday, I seemed to hear Bai Jing's footsteps! But the footsteps disappeared when they reached the door of Lulu's room!" I opened my eyes wide in horror. Lulu was not that.
Has the time been transferred?
But where can Bai Jing find another Lulu?
Fang Zhongyu almost jumped up: "Second uncle, my uncle went to Bai Jing's house this morning and said that Bai Jing was not at home! Let's go and rob her quickly! She must have kidnapped Lulu!"
Fang Zhongyu was so anxious that he almost burst into tears.
The second uncle grabbed Fang Zhongyu who was running away and shook his head deeply: "We don't know where Bai Jing went, and who is so capable that he can create a Lulu out of thin air? This is all our conjecture.
"
I know what my second uncle said is right, but I still feel that the Lulu downstairs is not Lulu.
But I have no way to prove it, and it makes me scratch my head.
But the second uncle suddenly laughed and patted Fang Zhongyu and our shoulders with his big hand: "If we don't know, let's go and verify it. Experiment to find out the true knowledge, and then go and play with Lulu."
We both immediately understood what our second uncle meant.
We hurriedly wiped away our tears and ran out holding the swimming ring.
Standing at the door of the villa, my heart almost jumped out of my chest. What would I do if the Lulu in front of me was not Lulu?
Fang Zhongyu stood next to me with a fierce look on his face: "Don't be afraid of Nuan Ting! I'm here. If she dares to hit you, I will... I will beat her!"
Fang Zhongyu grabbed me and ran out.
Lulu in the yard looked towards us. Her eyes were so cold, as if they were covered with a layer of ice, which was incompatible with the hot weather in Sanya.
I quickly opened my eyes, not daring to look directly at her.
"Lulu, haven't you finished standing yet?" Fang Zhongyu said with a smile, but I could feel his hand shaking mine.
Lulu glanced at the two of us, then turned her head, her tone not wavering at all: "Second uncle hasn't asked me to move yet."
After she finished speaking, she frowned, and I realized that her face was pale, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her arms were red from the sun.
I tried to calm myself down, but I was still very uneasy. I stepped forward and grabbed her hand and said, "Lulu, why are you so stubborn? Normally my second uncle would ask us to stand for punishment, so he only asked us to stand for an hour.
It’s been a few hours.”
Lulu was also stunned, turned to look at me, opened her mouth, and then smiled: "I forgot, don't worry, I'll move around right now."
After saying that, Lulu moved her body, making three circles on the left and three on the right.
But there was a click in my heart, as if something was broken.
She...she's not Lulu! Because my second uncle usually doesn't punish us at all!
But I didn’t know how to remind Fang Zhongyu. Fang Zhongyu dropped the swimming ring and took us to the next yard: "Come on, you two, quickly see if this person is at home. My uncle is almost dying of anxiety."
"
Then Fang Zhongyu raised his eyebrows at me and smiled proudly.
"..." I have determined that she is not Lulu.
The yard next to it was paved with lawn. When we almost ran to the door of the villa, Fang Zhongyu screeched to the brakes: "Why is there such a big hole!"
I lowered my head and saw that there was indeed a hole thicker than my second uncle's arm under the concrete steps. The hole was surrounded by branches and leaves sticking out of the lawn. If I hadn't looked carefully, I wouldn't have been able to see the hole.
I just squatted down to take a closer look, but my arm was suddenly grabbed by Lulu. Her expression was a little stiff: "What's so interesting about a hole? Maybe the one named Bai Jing has left. Let's go back quickly."
Originally I didn't know she wasn't Lulu, but once I accepted this setting in my heart, I felt that everything I saw was strange.
Right? Just a hole?
Why doesn't she let me see it?
Could it be that there is some secret in this cave?
I couldn't help but look down again. The hole only went vertically for more than one meter, and then extended towards the sea. I couldn't see anything inside.
"Nuan Ting! Come back with me quickly! I'm not feeling well!" Lulu said behind me, her voice a bit sharp.
I glanced at Fang Zhongyu and motioned for him to leave. I don’t know if he understood, but I turned around and followed Lulu.
The road back to the villa was not far, but I felt like I was walking on the edge of knives all over the ground with every step I took, and my heart couldn't be any heavier.
When I returned to the second floor, I felt as if all my strength had been exhausted, as if I had fallen into an ice cave.
Standing at the door, watching Lulu lying on the bed and resting, I gritted my teeth and quietly went to my second uncle's room.
"How's it going?" The hair on the back of my uncle's head was scratched straight up. He strode towards me anxiously and closed the door behind me.
I couldn't hold it back for a few times, and tears came out like spring water. I sobbed and told what I had verified.
The second uncle fell down on the bed in despair and could not recover for a long time.
After a long time, the second uncle said with a hoarse voice and deep anger: "Girl Yun, it is absolutely impossible to create a Lulu out of thin air. Maybe we shouldn't treat Bai Jing as an ordinary person in the first place. You
You are right, there are so many homeless children, why did Bai Jing focus on Lulu alone?"
It felt like there was a missing piece in my heart, my palms were so painful from the nails that I almost couldn't hold back my cry.
Lulu is next door, it would be bad if she heard me.
"Second uncle...what should we do now?"
The second uncle sighed and said nothing, but his eyes turned to the glass jar on the coffee table on the balcony that was shaking in the sun.
