Chapter 81
"What do you mean you lost my mother?" Shen Tianyun asked angrily with her hands on her hips.

"She ran away." Xiao Yao briefly told her daughter what happened today.

He mentioned that Shen Jie ran away from marriage and ran away to join him, and that he quarreled with her and made her run away in anger, but he didn't mention that Yu Luying came.

"I really want to give you a stick in the head!" Shen Tianyun roared: "What is the reason for the quarrel to make my mother run away in anger? She ran away from home because of you! Are you still human?"

"I'm not human!" Xiao Yao was also in a hurry: "Is there any point in asking what the quarrel is about now? The key is where to find it?"

"How would I know?"

"Calm down and think about it!"

The two discussed it, but they really didn't know where a penniless little girl without a mobile phone could go.

"Mom likes to drink coffee, why don't you go and find a nearby cafe?" Finally, Shen Tianyun suggested this way.

"All right." Xiao Yao began to put on his shoes: "But if she comes back, what will happen if there is no one at home?"

"Are you stupid?" Shen Tianyun was almost dizzy with anger: "I'm at home!"

"You can't get out of the bedroom."

In the end, Xiao Yao decided to leave the door of the soap room and the door leading to the bedroom compartment between the soap room ajar. Anyway, there is nothing to steal.

As night falls, thousands of houses are lit up.

Xiao Yao pushed the bicycle out the door, only to find that the rear tire had burst at some point, and pushed it to the place where the tire was repaired, but the old man had already left work early.

It's really a leak in the house that happened to rain in the night.

An evil fire surged in Xiao Yao's heart, and he threw the bicycle at the door of the garage, and then went to the nearby Cafe Madier—not long ago, he was still negotiating with Yu Luying's mother here.

After turning around a lot, he didn't see Shen Jie, so he went out, asked passers-by along the way, and looked for two or three cafes in the nearby blocks, but found nothing.

Where else is there a coffee shop?This is a difficult problem for a person who is reluctant to even glance at the signboard of a cafe.

He called Yu Luying and obtained information on two cafes a little further away, but he still couldn't find anyone.

Shen Jie's mobile phone is now held by Shen Tianyun, and Xiao Yao keeps in touch with Shen Tianyun by phone.

"I've looked for it all, but nothing," Xiao Yao said, "I'm at McDonald's now, and this is the third one. I've also been to Kenjiji, but I haven't seen anyone."

"Yes, I also went to the cash drawer, and the Shuimunian skating rink—"

"No, the cash drawer is a KTV."

Putting down the phone, Xiao Yao once again glanced at the people in this McDonald's without giving up.McDonald's is open 24 hours, and several bearded homeless people have locked up the location tonight, and there is even a young-looking woman among them.

Unfortunately, that was not Shen Jie.

Xiao Yao's heart tugged.

He looked at the people sitting with their legs curled up—some of them were sleeping on the table, an uncle was flipping through a nylon bag, as if he was checking the bottles he picked up today, and an old man was eating and breaking into pieces tremblingly. Two halves of white flour steamed buns, the steamed buns are solid, and there are some green things inside that don't look like mustard.

Xiao Yao has always felt that he is quite unfortunate—abandoned by his parents, isolated in class, troubled by teachers, no pocket money, unable to access the Internet, novels are always rejected, few friends, no girlfriend, etc. etc.

Only at this moment did he realize that at least he had a warm or cool nest—depending on the needs of the season—with no wind and darkness when the lights were turned off, allowing him to sleep peacefully with his legs stretched out.Every day, every meal, you can eat meat——

Fortunately, even swearing, the song is ambiguous.

A stray cat sneaked in without a sound, and was quickly spotted by the store clerk and swept out.

If it was me, I might be able to be a stray cat for two days, but Shen Jie, she is a big puppet cat who even pays for the morning, middle and evening meals.How could she, who was pampered and pampered, endure the wind and sleep?
Xiao Yao felt his heart ache.

At around nine o'clock, he received a call from Yu Luying.

"I just went to a small hotel nearby to look for it, but there was no progress." Yu Luying said.

"Have you searched for all of them? What about chain hotels?"

"There are so many small hotels, you can find them all." Yu Luying's tone was a little tired: "Chain hotels are even more impossible, her ID card is still on your desk, and big hotels have also done a good job of keeping the information of guests confidential." better."

"I see," Xiao Yao wiped the corners of his eyes weakly: "Thank you for your hard work, thank you for still being willing to help me."

"I'm not helping you, I'm just caring about my sister who saved my life." Yu Luying paused: "And after all, I'm also responsible for this matter, right?"

"Hey, whatever, thank you anyway."

"Xiao Yao." Yu Luying called out.

"Ah."

"I have to go back, it's nine o'clock, or my mother will go crazy again."

"it is good."

"You should go back earlier, the demon capital is very big." Yu Luying persuaded: "She is an adult—er, she is not a child anymore, she is capable of taking care of herself."

"Probably either." Xiao Yao said.

"If she doesn't want to be found by you, then you can't find her. When her anger subsides, she will come back naturally."

"But what if she doesn't bring any money?"

"So she must not be far away, and she will come back to find you," Yu Luying said patiently, "You might as well go home and wait for her. Maybe she has been standing at the door waiting for you to open it for a long time."

Xiao Yao said in his heart, it's strange.

After a few casual words, he hung up the phone and walked out of this McDonald's.

I don't know when, the sky began to rain again, not very heavy.

Xiao Yao ignored it, and walked on the street with a dull head.

This city has spread her lonely map, how can I find the place where you wait for me, I am like every child in love, growing up lonely on the street.

The freezing wind, the cold rain, the leaves on both sides of Dongdaming Road fell on the sidewalk.

There is a big temperature difference between day and night in the magic city, it is impossible for Shen Jie not to know.

In Teacher Yao's dungeon, he and Shen Jie were almost frozen to death.

Where the hell is she?Will she be cold?

Sancta maria sancta maria, let this lost lamb go home.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Yu Luying sent a message to complain, Xiao Yao just bought a transparent plastic umbrella for ten yuan, and stood under the eaves of the closed shop to avoid the rain.

Just as he was shaking the water from his hair, the phone vibrated again.The familiar caller id showed that it was from Shen Jie.

Xiao Yao was a little excited. When answering the phone, his fingers trembled twice, and he finally pressed it for the third time.When he picked up the phone, he heard Shen Tianyun's voice again... Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt a sense of loss.

Whatever, whatever, Xiao Yao said to himself.

The daughter is still there, which means that the relationship between him and Shen Jie has not yet taken an irreversible turn. In other words, in essence, things are not as bad as he feared.

No matter how embarrassing the current situation is, as long as you can see your daughter and hear her voice, you can see the future and hear hope, and you can face all this calmly.

"You mean her friend? I called Zhou Xiaoying early in the morning, but she didn't know anything, she just scolded me."

"What do you mean you have contacted your mother? Oh, the future Shen Jie?"

"She asked me to go to the Internet cafe? Why, she's not me?"

"...I see, then I'll go find it."

"No, which Internet cafe is it?"

After Xiao Yao ran through four or five Internet cafes including "Chanhua", it was past twelve o'clock.

He dragged his exhausted body and exhausted soul along the wet road towards his home.

The rain had stopped. He put away the plastic umbrella in his hand and used it as a crutch, poking and poking on the ground.

When passing by a bridge hole, he looked at the three or five homeless men who had wrapped themselves in blankets, and stopped.

Although he thought it was impossible, Xiao Yao still checked those bodies one by one.

He didn't find Shen Jie inside, and was about to leave when he looked up and saw a pile of debris piled up beside the bridge opening.

In the pile of debris, there is a large full-length mirror full of cracks.

Xiao Yao glanced at it, and just as he was about to walk away, he glanced again.

Inside, he could only see the sleeping homeless man behind him, but not himself.

--split line--

Xiao Yao believes that he has fallen into a pure blind spot of thinking.

He should have thought a long time ago that, as a human being who also has the ability to see through the mirror, Shen Jie might hide in another world.

……Bar?

After a little thought, he plunged into the mirror.

Then, the first reaction was, so green...

He watched his surroundings vigilantly—this was a world masked by an emerald green filter.

Still under the bridge hole, there are still those homeless people, but there are a few more warm bonfires, and... the storm doors on both sides of the bridge hole?
The vagrants gathered around the fire to enjoy the fire, and there were fat turkeys and suckling pigs on the tablecloth beside them, making Xiao Yao feel a little hungry.

Suddenly, he realized that everyone was looking at him.

The vagabonds, looking sullenly, stared straight at him.

Xiao Yao was startled, the shield and long sword had already appeared in his hand.

Hmm, the mastery of the "spiritual fortress" seems to be more... "easily send and receive"?

Fortunately, those tramps just looked at him and did not attack.

Xiao Yao backed away slowly, then used the tip of his long sword to open the storm door and walked out of the bridge hole.

He saw that the sidewalks on both sides of the street were full of pedestrians, and there was a steady stream of cars on the fast lane.

Not to mention that it is 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, even at 12 o'clock in the noon, Xiao Yao has never seen such a large flow of people on Dongdaming Road.

As he walked slowly, he observed the huge hall.

As he walked, the worn-out armor on his body made harsh metal collision sounds, which was the source of Xiao Yao's sense of security at the moment.

Everyone was hurrying, hunched over, with numb and mournful faces and empty eyes.

Some carried briefcases under their arms, while others carried chunky backpacks that bulged as if they were stuffed with bricks.

When passing by them, these people would also look at Xiao Yao, and then they still whispered and walked in a hurry.

Xiao Yao heard the voice of the crowd whispering gradually getting louder, even almost overwhelming the sound of his own armor, so he began to seriously consider retreating first.

After all, it would be too much to go into a strange palace alone.

Shen Jie is unlikely to stay in this kind of place for a long time, right?
Then, he saw Shen Jie.

To be exact, he couldn't be sure, but the back was very similar.

Waist-tied blouse, double ponytails, small leather boots, walking posture, and the height of a junior high school student.

Xiao Yao didn't dare to yell loudly, but quickly chased after him.

The tens of kilograms of armor weighed on him, which really made him uncomfortable.

Xiao Yao wanted to remove the armor, but didn't know how to do it.

What about "send and receive freely"?

"Wait a minute!" He still couldn't help shouting: "Shen Jie!"

The girl who looked like Shen Jie turned around and entered the subway entrance.

Xiao Yao struggled for two seconds and decided to follow up.

There is no need to wonder why the subway is still open at this point, and there is no need to think about why the flow of people in the subway is greater than that on the street. Xiao Yao just followed the girl closely, trying to catch up with her.

Want to run, but can't.

Fortunately, the crowded flow of people did not impede his movement - because he found that he would not collide with them, and could pass through directly.

However, the line of sight was still blocked, and Xiao Yao was about to lose track.

The girl walked to the ticket gate of the subway gate and looked down for something, maybe it was a bus card?

"Shen Jie!" Xiao Yao reached out and patted her on the back with the shield.

Xiao Yao felt the force feedback from his hand, and sure enough, it wasn't a phantom.

The girl turned around, Xiao Yao was terrified, and took three steps back.

"oops!"

"Shen Jie"'s face... has no face.

"Big Brother, do you want to buy flowers?" The Faceless Man said childishly, which was certainly not Shen Jie's voice.

"flower……"

Only then did Xiao Yao notice that the faceless man was holding a large basket of flowers.

"No, don't bother..." Xiao Yao took another two steps back, ready to scream.

"The big brother can give it to his girlfriend, the beautiful sister will definitely like it." The faceless man continued to sell.

"Beautiful sister quarreled with big brother and ran away. Big brother has been looking for him all night," Xiao Yao said, "Do you know where she went?"

"I don't know." The faceless man shook his head: "Maybe, big sister will wait for brother at the agreed place?"

The promised place...?Xiao Yao lowered his head and thought for a while.

When he raised his head again, the faceless man was gone.

……

Xiao Yao returned the same way, left the subway, went back to the bridge hole, and got out of the mirror.

Along the way, nothing happened.

After getting rid of the green filter, Xiao Yao felt that his eyes felt much better.

Without the weight of the armor on his body, he felt as if he could fly.

A homeless man heard the movement, peeked out from under the blanket, then shrank back.

When Xiao Yao returned home, Shen Tianyun was already asleep on his bed.

He gently pushed his daughter's legs under the edge of the bed, and helped her cover with blankets.

Yu Luying placed Shen Jie's ID card on the dining table, and Xiao Yao picked it up to look at it.

The Shen Jie in the photo can be seen to be her, but it doesn't look like her.

A little dark, a little oily, and a little naive.

How old is this?

But still so cute.

Xiao Yao suddenly wanted to bite her.

He turned around a few times, thought about it, struggled for a while, and climbed onto his bed, passed Shen Tianyun, and fell asleep inside facing the wall.

That night, he had repeated nightmares, and the dreams were all about the weird green world and the faceless man.

When I woke up in the morning, there was no one around me.

Shen Tianyun was not in the room, so she didn't know where she went.

"Maybe, big sister will wait for brother at the agreed place?"

This afternoon, Big Dark Cinema, Troy, huh?
It's only past 11 o'clock, so there's plenty of time...well, let's hurry up.

Xiao Yao went out and walked to the car repair shop - he was very happy to see that his bicycle was not taken away.

After patching the tire, Xiao Yao rode directly on the road, leaving the lunch to Yu Luying.

When passing the subway station in front of the bridge hole yesterday, Xiao Yao slowed down.

Then, he stopped in front of the little girl selling flowers sitting in front of the subway station.

Her cheeks were dark, with a touch of blush, but there was a spirit from inside to outside.

"Buying flowers?" the girl smiled.

This flower, this figure, she is right.

"This, this... this, I want some of each, I don't want roses." Xiao Yao took out a hundred-yuan bill: "Wrap it up for me, thank you."

It was just after one o'clock when he rode to the big dark cinema, and it was almost ten o'clock when he found a place to stop.

The Great Darkness Cinema is less than one kilometer away from War Movie, and is located in the People's Park business district. It is an established and well-known cinema.

Today is Sunday, and among the bustling crowd, there are many men and women who seem to be about my own age.

It's just that every time I see a similar figure, I feel disappointed.

Xiao Yao turned around several times, his heart gradually sank.

Suddenly, amidst the noise, Xiao Yao saw a small girl curled up on a seat in the most remote corner.

The girl's hair is a bit oily, her face is somewhat dirty, her clothes seem to be half wet, and she wears a pair of small leather boots.

To put it simply, it looks a bit like a down and out stray cat, but the girl's lazy posture is elegant and calm, like a puppet cat basking in the sun.

The puppet is looking at itself with wide eyes open now, with a curious and playful expression on its expression.

Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

--split line--

"Morning, good morning." Xiao Yao greeted him pretending to be natural.

"Here we come." Shen Jie looked at him narrowly, "Like a fool, watching you wander around for a long time."

A month ago, I saw this girl for the first time in the city's Seventh Girls' High School. At that time, she was so radiant and energetic, but now she was sitting on an awkward throne, forcibly supporting her self-esteem that was riddled with holes.

Xiao Yao was a little uncertain for a moment, whether he had a position to feel sorry for her.

So, she shouldn't kick me with high legs today?

Xiao Yao opened his mouth a few times, but the words were blocked in his throat, and he couldn't come out.

where did you sleep last night

Are you in the rain?
Still angry?

I've been looking for you.

"Flower." In the end, Xiao Yao only said this word.

"Take money from me to buy flowers and give them to me," although Shen Jie complained like this, but her tone was quite cheerful: "Who gave you the courage to choose Rose? The profiteer of the flower shop or Shen Tianyun's inner ghost?"

"Neither of them," the knowledge that didn't belong to me came to the tip of my tongue: "Rose represents a beautiful and refined woman with softness and strength. The spirit of Qiangwei is like a beautiful and elegant woman, but there are sharp short thorns on the flower branches. , implying that there is an unyielding heart under the beautiful appearance, I think it fits very well—"

"Okay, don't memorize it." Shen Jie stood up, straightened her messy clothes, held the bouquet in both hands and took a deep breath: "This is the end, let's watch the movie first, I've already bought the tickets."

"Huh? Really looking at the beautiful magic city? Don't, let's look at Troy, shall we?"

The movie-watching experience of "Beautiful Magic City" is like going to jail.

First of all, it's not pretty.

Secondly, this tm is still the second brush.

The most important thing is that the girl next to her neither smiles nor eats, just stares at the screen like that.

After an hour and a half of sitting on pins and needles, Xiao Yao finally walked out of the "big darkness" and faced the light.

"This daughter is really worrying, isn't it?" Shen Jie said.

"Oh, yes. But our Yunyun—"

"Your family Yingying likes this kind of movie?" Shen Jie interrupted him, squinting her eyes.

"Our family Yingying——" Xiao Yao was baited, his mouth was bald, and then his arm hurt, and he hurriedly turned around: "No, I made a slip of the tongue..."

Another palm has already struck with the sound of wind.

"Don't wow! I was wrong!"

A couple stopped at the entrance of the cinema, watching curiously.

"Wow, what a heroic figure...the live version of "My Sassy Girlfriend"?" the boy exclaimed.

"If you are envious, I can help you too." The girl said with a smile.

"No, no, thank you."

……

"Where are you going?" Shen Jie rubbed her sore right hand: "The subway station is over there."

"I don't take the subway today," Xiao Yao said, "I rode a bicycle and parked it in the carport over there."

"Huh? Bicycle?"
