I know this ancient god

Chapter 106 Conversation

Tang Xuan clenched his fists slightly, knowing that the main dish was on the table.

The old lady continued: "Baixue's brother has been wandering outside, otherwise I would have adopted him back together. I can see that Bai Xue's brother loves Bai Xue very much. He should be a good boy, but"

The old lady stopped when she reached this point.

She looked at Shirayuki and sighed.

Tang Xuan asked: "Just what?"

There was a hint of fear in the old lady's eyes: "All the people who disappeared during this period should be related to that child."

The old lady's cloudy eyes suddenly had a lot of emotions. She began to rub the armrests of the seat uneasily and looked around where no one was. There were faint signs of illness.

Xiao Baixue nervously held the old lady's hand.

Tang Xuan lowered his voice and comforted him softly: "Don't panic. We are here and he doesn't dare to come."

[Friends of Women] activate!

You got [Old Music Box]!

[Old Music Box]: There is always a melody, and as long as the prelude is played, it can take you back to those unforgettable years in the past (Note: It contains an improvisation worthy of being ranked in the palace. Although its author is unknown, and never played successfully again).

Tang Xuan calmly turned the clockwork of the music box.

A burst of melodious jazz-style music floated out from the music box. This kind of music was very popular a few decades ago and was the preferred type in all dance halls at that time.

Tang Xuan couldn't tell how good this music was, but the old lady changed a lot after hearing the music.

The panic and hesitation in her eyes quickly faded away, and instead revealed a bit of surprise. In the surprise, there were still traces of sweet memories.

“Where did you find this piece?”

The old lady's body leaned forward slightly, her expression was very surprised, and she completely forgot about the negative emotions just now.

Tang Xuan smiled and said: "I got it by chance."

"It's this piece of music, yes, it's this piece of music." The old lady read it over and over in her mouth. She looked at the music box in Tang Xuan's hand like a treasure and said, "I spent the rest of my life looking for this piece of music." I never found this song, and I thought it would be my eternal regret, but I didn’t expect to hear it again when I was halfway through the gate of hell.”

Xiao Baixue wiped her tears: "What kind of song is this?"

"This is the song he and I danced to when we first met."

The old lady's voice was extremely soft, as if she was afraid that if she spoke loudly, she would disturb the music box.

"That day was my seventeenth birthday party. He and I fell in love at first sight. We danced together to this song under the bright moonlight. That was the beginning of our love."

The old lady closed her eyes gently and nodded along with the ups and downs of the music. Her thoughts went back to a long, long time ago and she once again saw the face that she had been thinking about so much.

Ah Liang, it would be great if you were still here.

After the song was played, the old lady burst into tears.

She choked and said, "Thank you."

"Grandma doesn't cry."

Xiao Baixue handed over the tissue sensibly.

Tang Xuan stepped forward and put the music box on the coffee table beside the old lady. He bowed and said, "Since this piece of music has something to do with you, I will give it to you."

The old lady was so moved that she covered her face with her hands.

Tang Xuan waited until her mood calmed down and asked, "Can you tell us more about brother Xiao Baixue?"

Xiao Baixue silently picked up the music box and twisted it a few times.

The melodious music filled the room again.

The old lady wiped her tears with a tissue and said calmly: "After listening to this piece of music, I suddenly felt energetic and can chat with you for a while."

Xiao Baixue and her brother both lost their memory.

They do not remember who they were before, nor what they have done. From the moment they can remember, they have been in the Imperial Palace No. 1 Orphanage.

This may be the price of their early recovery.

Xiao Baixue's brother was also in the orphanage at first, but because of his ugly appearance, he was always bullied by other children in the orphanage. Later, he left the orphanage alone and was never found by the staff of the orphanage.

The staff at the welfare home thought he had disappeared, but in fact, he had never been far away from Xiao Baixue. Instead, he had awakened his abilities, or to be precise, he had recovered a little. He has been in the orphanage, but no one can see him except Xiao Baixue.

The children who had bullied him in the past were 'disappearing' one after another. It once became the most important criminal case of the Imperial City Police Department. However, because there were no clues, it had to be left alone.

Later, the old lady adopted Xiao Baixue, and Xiao Baixue's brother followed Xiao Baixue to the Shen family.

It was a thunderstorm night.

The old lady met Xiao Baixue's brother for the first time.

He was completely black, leaving only the outline of a human figure. He was here to take Xiao Baixue away.

"We don't belong here."

The old lady remembered what he said.

His voice was so low that it could hardly reach the old lady's ears through the continuous sound of rain, so the old lady was not sure whether what she heard was the original words of Brother Xiao Baixue.

Behind him stood many puppet-like figures.

The figures were half black and half white, and most were small, like the missing children. Their faces were flat, with no facial features and no expressions. They stood quietly under the dark night like puppets, standing in the cold rain, letting the rain drip down their bodies, exuding silent terror.

The old lady screamed in fright.

"Come with me, sister."

Xiao Baixue's brother only has Xiao Baixue in his eyes.

The old lady shouted for help in her loudest voice, but no one could hear her.

"Is it because of her that you don't want to?"

Xiao Baixue's brother looked at the old lady for the first time.

The old lady was as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She could not see his face clearly, but she could feel a pair of indifferent eyes staring at her. There was no light in those eyes, as if the cold judgment of depriving her of her life would be made in the next moment.

Xiao Baixue stood in front of the old lady: "No!"

The old lady felt the gaze leave her.

She could breathe again.

"We don't belong here."

Xiao Baixue's brother repeated.

Xiao Baixue said persistently: "I don't want you to worry about it!"

"I'm your brother."

Only then did the old lady know that Xiao Baixue had an older brother.

"I have my own life."

Xiao Baixue yelled angrily. She was not afraid of her brother at all. She pointed at her brother's face and said one word at a time: "I don't want to see you again, stay away from me!"

"I will protect you silently."

Her brother stepped back.

Finally disappeared in the rain, never to be seen again.

After experiencing this incident, the old lady's worldview was somewhat shaken. She didn't tell anyone else about it because she felt that whoever she told would be in danger. Moreover, she is already old and has only a few years to live. She doesn’t want to or has the energy to take care of such things.
