Marriage in crisis

I sat quietly for a long time, thinking for a long time, and Chi Xi did not disturb me.

It wasn't until the sky outside gradually dimmed and it became dark indoors that Chi Xi said a word of comfort, "Sister, let's go back!"

I glanced out the window, and it was indeed time for the lanterns to come on.

Inadvertently, my eyes saw the two dry potted plants on the windowsill again, which made me feel even more depressed.

I took a look and saw that one pot should be asparagus, and the whole pot looked like a specimen. In the other pot, I couldn't tell what kind it was, only the bare branches were left.

However, the potted flower is a bit strange. The branches are very thick and the traces of pruning are very clear. It seems that Qiu Meiying has taken good care of it. But the strange thing is that one of the thick branches was broken abruptly, and the branches hung down.

I got up and walked over, thinking, why does this branch look like it has been broken?

Under normal circumstances, the flowers you raise yourself would not be willing to end up like this.

People who grow flowers have a feeling that the flowers they raise are like raising children. I feel deeply about it. I feel heartbroken if even a single leaf of the flowers and plants I grew before I got sick falls off!

Judging from the pruned shape of this pot of flowers, she must be very precious to her. How could the branches be broken off? How could it be broken by someone else?

The broken flower branch was hanging down, but the tip of the branch was stuck into the soil. I wondered in my heart, what kind of shameful operation was this, breaking it off and then burying it in the soil.

I couldn't help but reach out and pull out the branch stuck in the soil.

When I pulled it out, I also brought out a piece of soil in the flower pot. The soil was already dry to the point of being deformed.

It was as hard as a stone and turned into a lump, but under the fallen piece of soil, a corner of a tied red plastic bag was exposed.

Curiosity drove me to reach out quickly, pinch a corner of the plastic bag, and pull it out hard.

This is an ordinary pink plastic bag used to carry vegetables when buying groceries. It seems to be wrapped in something? Tie with rope in the middle.

I took a closer look and pinched it with my hands, and found that there seemed to be a piece of paper inside.

My pupils suddenly closed, and I quickly found the head of the plastic cord and pulled it off.

Then he called Chi Xi.

Chi Xi didn't know what I was doing. When she heard me calling her, she came over immediately, "What are you looking at?"

I showed it to her.

She looked at the thing in my hand in surprise and asked, "What is this? Where did you find it?"

I pointed at the flowerpot in front of me and said, "I found it from here."

As I said this, I eagerly opened the plastic.

It was wrapped in many layers. It seemed to be wrapped deliberately, probably to avoid the paper inside getting wet.

Chi Xi looked at it curiously and said, "It seems to have been wrapped very carefully. It seems to be a very important thing. How could it be buried in the flower pot? How did you find it?"

I didn't have time to answer her question, so I just focused on peeling off the layers of plastic. I was very careful, for fear of damaging the contents inside.

After working on it for a long time, I finally opened the layer of plastic, revealing a folded piece of paper.

I quickly threw away the plastic and took out the note inside.

My fingers were shaking a little as I unfolded the paper carefully.

On that piece of paper, a rough pattern was drawn with a black ballpoint pen. It seemed that the drawing was done in a hurry and not very carefully.

There was a line of words and a few letters below. When I saw the words, I realized that I had held the piece of paper upside down. I quickly turned it over. The words were very sloppy and it said, The person who picked us up has this pattern.

I took a closer look at the pattern, and suddenly looked at Chi Xi. She was also looking at me with a solemn expression.

The patterns drawn on the paper were also very rough and rough, but they looked familiar to me.

But I wasn't sure, so I looked up at Chi Xi for confirmation, "Chi Xi, do you think it looks like the pattern of the Blue Enchantress?"

Chi Xi took the note from my hand, looked at it carefully, felt it from a distance, then nodded and said with certainty, "That's the pattern!"
