Song of Time – Dusk Awakening Verse

As the sun was empty, the backyard of the old temple was still quiet, and the cold wind of early winter blew the small pond with a few clusters of lotus roots, revealing the desertedness of scattered leaves. A purple light flashed in the small pavilion next to the transmission monument by the pool, and the figure of a girl in a cloak appeared in an instant, and it was Miyou that had been transmitted from the bookstore. The cold wind blew, and the girl rubbed the goose bumps caused by stress, walked to the railing, and turned her head to look out.

The Fat Bird yawned lazily on her shoulders, seemingly indifferent to the temperature that was changing at this moment. He narrowed his eyes and glanced around, and muttered tiredly: "This is not the capital... I said Xiao Miyou, what are you doing in Beijing? I can tell you that there are vegetarian vegetables everywhere here, and there is no oil or water..."

He yawned again, and suddenly seemed to remember something, his eyes widened, and he hesitantly said: "It seems...what did the old smoker of Yunxuan say? Well, let this bird think about... Oh, by the way, it seems to be careful when you come to the capital... Uh... I can’t remember... What's the matter with him, this bird is scared here! I said Xiao Miyou, where do you want to eat? This bird hasn't been to the capital for a long time, and I don't know where there is good food..."

Ahuang kept talking about herself, but Miyou didn't say a word. She tied her cloak tightly and visited left and right. Seeing that there were no people around, she walked out slowly along the water pavilion. The noise of fat birds kept coming from my ears.

"By the way, this bird remembers that there seems to be a company that makes deep-fried meatballs. The taste is so delicious! Fish balls, shrimp balls, meat **** and crab balls, even vegetable **** are very delicious... Hey... The family’s unique dipping sauce...Oh, where is that house...Let this bird think about it..."

"Ah, there is another one that makes honey bean cakes, it's so sweet! Oh, there is another..."

Fat Bird kept introducing the delicacies in his memory, while speaking, he was drooling, walking forward with small steps, slowly crossing the bridge, turning around the slightly dilapidated main hall, and quickly standing there. Under the huge mahogany archway outside the gate.

She stood by the pillar and looked left and right, as if she was undecided, Ah Huang recovered from the food swirling in her head, and when she saw her standing blankly, she yelled again: "I said Xiao Mi You, where are you going? You don’t know the way, so let’s listen to this bird! This bird will take you to eat the croquettes first, and then go to the food court...hehe..."

Mi You looked at it with his head tilted and didn't answer, just shook his head slowly, opened the newspaper he was holding in his hand, and gestured with his finger. Fat Bird stared suspiciously. The headline of the newspaper read: "The prince mysteriously disappeared! Is it a conspiracy or an accident!?" Below is a photo of the scene of the Langqiao Port explosion, among the large ruins of the collapsed old building. Several figures wearing dark green military uniforms can be seen vaguely.

"What's the mess... The prince? Oh, I see, it's Shun... I said why he hasn't come to deliver food for a few days..." Fat Bird finally understood it after watching for a long time, and snorted. He squinted and said to Miyou, "Xiao Miyou, where can you go to find him? Besides, he is such a big man and there are so many guards around him. What can happen to me! Let me tell you. Let's go and have a good meal first!"

"Here..." The girl stared at Ah Huang motionlessly for a long while, stubbornly pointed at the photo, and repeatedly drew circles back and forth, the fat bird suddenly understood.

"Covered Bridge Port... Well, speaking of it, it seems that this bird hasn't been there for a long time, I don't know what's delicious... Forget it, let me relax with you! Let's go, let's go, This bird will take you there!" Ah Huang held his head serious and thought, flapped his wings and flew forward, Miyou pulled his cloak and quickly followed, and walked along the bumpy masonry path to the distance. On the side of the avenue.

The vicinity of the old temple is sparsely populated, and usually no one makes a special trip to make a memorial service. Only occasionally do you see a few locomotives passing by on the asphalt avenue, and the cold wind is engulfing the yellow and frosted dry grass on the side of the road, which looks particularly deserted.

Ahuang fell back on Miyou's shoulder, waited with her for a long time, and finally saw a black four-wheeled carriage coming in the distance, and hurriedly shouted: "Come on, come here!"

"Good!" As soon as its voice fell, there was a vigorous and powerful response from the coachman, and the carriage stepped on the rhythmic rumbling sound and quickly stopped in front of the girl. The coachman was a thin, middle-aged man with a yellow face and short beard, wearing a thick gray quilted jacket, and he looked very simple.

"Miss, where do you want to go?" The coachman looked at the girl with a cloak in front of her and only showed her small face, and was a little surprised. The call just now was very sharp and powerful, not like this girl who looked gentle and gentle. Yes, he asked with a smile as usual, and he heard the fat bird yelling: "Go to Langqiao Port, Langqiao Port! Driver, do you know the way?"

The coachman was startled when he heard the white bird talking. He leaned back on the wall of the carriage, looked at the fat bird carefully, and looked at the girl blinking but not speaking, and muttered to himself: This Could it be that someone with power, because he couldn't speak, only communicated through this big bird?

He was stunned to speculate, but the Fat Bird became impatient, and shouted loudly, "Hey, the driver, did you hear it? How did this bird ask you, don't you know the road?"

"I recognize..." The coachman was afraid to provoke the suspected power to anger, and he repeatedly agreed, and then gestured to the carriage, "This...sir, please get in the car. The port is not far away. You will be there in a while."

"Well, drive the bird faster. Ben bird rushes to eat, do you know?" Ahuang patted Miyou's shoulder with a nervous stomach, and the girl politely nodded to the driver, and obediently supported the railing. Climbed into the carriage.

The coachman saw that this person had a very different attitude, and he was puzzled by his own guess. Is it possible that this big bird was turned into a powerful one? He thought to himself, but he didn't dare to ask any more, he flicked his whip and moved slowly, speeding to the east. Along the way, the girl kept silent, and the fat bird wentssiping with the coachman in a decent manner and inquired.

"Driver, Benniao asks you, what's delicious in Langqiao Port now?"

"Oh, sir, you can ask the right person. My house is near the port. If you want to ask where to eat, then I'm familiar with it."

"Really? Come on, come and listen!"

The fat bird asked impatiently when he heard it, the coachman laughed, and introduced the port’s characteristic fish and shrimp aquatic products, as well as the authentic imported houses. It was so greedy that it was so greedy that he could not wait to rush to eat and eat. Fan.

In the car, the atmosphere was harmonious, and after about a quarter of an hour, we arrived at the stop of the port track platform. The coachman reported that he had arrived, and Miyou climbed out of the car quietly, thanked him gently, and took out a shining gold coin from the cloak. After a while, he replaced it with a silver coin and handed it to the coachman. To a compliment-like blessing.

After bidding farewell to the coachman, the girl took the fat bird all the way towards the old district in the northwest. There is a dense flow of people in the port. Ahuang has followed Yunxuan for many years. He has long known that if he talks casually in a crowded place, it will inevitably cause trouble. He just closes his eyes and hangs his head to pretend to rest. Mi You also followed the crowd slowly moving in silence, passing through the still leafy Champagne Avenue, past the entire row of metal warehouses, and soon arrived outside the heavily guarded old building.

As the martial law order issued by the emperor has not disappeared, yellow cordon and barbed wire are still surrounding the explosion site, and heavily armed guards are patrolling around. The atmosphere is solemn. The girl stood outside the yellow line and looked inside, only to see a dilapidated ruin with no human smell, she was about to go inside, and was immediately stopped by the guard on duty.

"Children... this is not a place to play!" A security guard in gray uniform walked out of the guard box quickly, reached out his hand to stop, and warned with a straight face.

Seeing Mi You's thin and small appearance, there was a big white bird standing on his shoulder. He couldn't help but glanced at it a few more times, but found that the big bird remained motionless, as if he didn't even breathe. Probably it’s an ornament. The kid’s taste is really strange... He thinks that the dark sleep is funny. He pointed to the park in the distance, and whispered in a low voice, "Go and play there. If you let those green clothes The officer of ‘s caught it and will spank you!”

Mi You didn't respond to his words, but stared blankly at the well-intentioned uncle, took out the newspaper from the cloak, opened it and gestured to him silently.

"Yeah, you like to read this kind of tabloid too. The kids nowadays are really incapable of..." The guard glanced at the newspaper and came forward to rub her little head amusedly, "Uncle tells you, this kind of gossip Newspapers are all scribbles, don't write letters." He shook his head with emotion, glanced at the white bird like a sculpture, and turned back to the sentry box.

Scribbled? Will things written in the newspaper deceive people? Mi You was suddenly shocked by consciousness, and stood there blankly, looking at the newspaper blankly. Shiratori waited for a long time to see that she was not leaving, so she closed her eyes, and whispered like a mosquito: "I heard you, Xiao Miyou, I said it's okay! Let's go to the port and look for it. What's delicious, let's go!"

Ahuang urged softly for a long time, but the girl looked at the old newspaper as if she hadn't heard it. How could it be a lie? Brother Shun and Brother Jinyuan really haven't been to the bookstore for many days, something unexpected happened! She thought with certainty, but the scene of the explosion was no longer accessible, so who should I ask? She had never gone out to find someone, and she was at a loss for a while.

She stood in the cold wind of this port for a while, listening to the long sound of the ship's whistle in the distance, suddenly thought that Brother Shun had told him about studying at the Royal Academy, and finally found a new direction. Go and see first, someone over there must know the whereabouts of her brother... She nodded silently like cheering for herself, folded the newspaper and stuffed it in her cloak at will, returning without saying a word.

"Xiao Miyou, where are you going again... Oh... After walking for a long time, this bird is hungry! You must be hungry too, aren't you hungry?" Fat Bird opened one eye, worried He tugged at the edge of the girl's cloak, with a particularly pityful tone.

Mi You gently stroked its tail feathers for comfort. After a long time of boredom, she finally uttered three words: "Go to college..." She hung her head and pulled the cloak, tightly pursed her small mouth, and hurried straight to the railway station platform. Away.

"No...My boiled meatballs, my mudfish grilled prawns, and my mullet roe stuffed rice balls..." Ah Huang shrank listlessly on her shoulders, humming like a nasal noise. All kinds of delicacies, lamenting for their unblessed belly.

In this inaudible chant, Miyou ran back to the platform with a calm expression. At the reluctant prompt of Fat Bird, he boarded the train and went all the way west. It was almost the afternoon when she arrived at the Royal Academy Station. It's three o'clock.

As soon as she walked out of the platform along the iron bridge, she saw from a distance that the entrance of the college was crowded with people, so crowded that even carriages could not drive through the avenue. Several monks in white robes drawn a large divine barrier in front of the door. This is like a substantial light shield that is bright and dazzling, and you can't see the situation inside. Even guards armed with guns guarded all nearby entrances and exits. , This atmosphere looked a bit more tense than the explosion field in the old district.

Miyou tilted his head and glanced a few times, not knowing why, just about to walk forward, he was drunk in a low voice by the fat bird: "Don't go there! This bird just remembered it! The old smoker said, be careful of those sacred towers. The guys! Those guys in white clothes!"

Watch out for the Santa guy? The girl turned her head in doubt and looked at it silently, her eyes seemed to be full of why. However, Ahuang had only heard Yunxuan mention it before, and could not explain the reason.
