After reading it, Xu Xiu couldn't calm down for a long time.

The entire notebook seemed to record the process of all of Xu Yujia's edges and corners being gradually erased.

She felt a little distressed.

Fortunately, her cell phone rang at the right time, pulling her out of the sad atmosphere.

It’s Xiaodouding calling.

"Mom, are you coming back? I just learned a new language and I want to tell it to you."

The little girl's voice seemed to be able to heal everything. She curled up the corners of her mouth and said with a smile:

"Okay, Mom will be back soon."

After hanging up the phone, she looked at the box in front of her that looked like a treasure chest.

In addition to the notebook, there are also many toys and school supplies.

Old Mrs. Xu said that these were the things Xu Yujia used when she was a child, and no one had touched them for decades.

These things had been put away before she ran away from home, and had not been touched since she came back.

"If Xiaorang likes something, you can let him play with it... You see, I am old and confused again, how could Xiaorang be short of toys?"

She quickly brushed the matter off afterwards.

Xu Xiu knew that Old Lady Xu was afraid that Xu Yujia would mind that the toys were too old, so she didn't say it explicitly, but deep down she really wanted everything about Xu Yujia to be remembered.

If those accidents had not happened, Xu Xiu might have played with these toys when she was a child, and Xu Yujia would have told her that these were her treasures.

Then when Xiao Rang was born again, generation after generation, it seemed like a legacy.

But Mrs. Xu was worried for no reason, Xu Xiu really didn't mind.

After all, she had sewed such a strange doll with her own hands, and the little kid loved it very much.

Xu Xiu looked at the toys, picked up an egg-shaped toy and shook it casually, then he heard a rustling sound.

It looks like a tumbler, but also like a small ornament.

The toy is of very good quality and well preserved, so there is almost no damage.

Xu Xiu put the egg in his pocket and left.

After returning to her residence, she was lying on the bed and was about to start a bedtime story when she suddenly remembered the toy egg and took it out from her coat pocket.

The little bean stared at the egg, looking left and right:

"Mom, is this for me?"

"Yes, but it wasn't given to you by your mother. It was given to you by your mother's mother, your grandma."

Little Douding was very curious about this and kept playing with it. When he learned that this was the toy his grandmother played with when she was a child, he was surprised:

"Wow, this egg is older than me. It's the egg lady."

So the egg toy got a new name, Egg Granny.

The little kid was lying on the bed, throwing the egg up and catching it. Xu Xiu stopped him:

"Don't play while lying down. Be careful not to hit your teeth. Otherwise, you will become Xu Zhirang without front teeth."

When the little kid heard this, he immediately covered his mouth for fear of being hit.

When he hugged the Egg Granny again, he looked down and saw a crack on it.

Perhaps because of the shaking just now, something shifted inside.

The little kid put his eyes to the gap, opened his eyes wide and tried hard to see, but still could not see anything.

When Xu Xiu turned around and saw him like this, he couldn't help but laugh:

"What are you doing?"

"Mom, I want to see what's inside."

Xu Xiu took it and saw the gap. She shook it again and the sound inside seemed different from before.

She looked into the gap curiously, and then she found that there seemed to be something inside.

Seeing the little kid looking at him with great energy, Xu Xiu put the eggs aside and said seriously:

"It's time to sleep, and I'll leave my curiosity to tomorrow."

The little kid had no choice but to lie down obediently.

*

After coaxing the little kid to sleep, Xu Xiu was about to get out of bed to drink some water when he saw the egg again.

She took it curiously, found tweezers in her makeup bag, and finally took out the contents of the egg.

There was actually a note stuffed inside.

Xu Xiu opened it and saw a line of words written in ink on it:

[Perhaps this is the only way to protect you, my baby. I hope you can grow up healthy and happy. Unfortunately, I will never see it again.]

This is Xu Yujia's handwriting.

Xu Xiu looked at the line of words again and again, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

This is the suicide note she wrote before committing suicide.

It was written by Xu Yujia to his daughter.

This is for her.

It seems that the Xu family did not notice this note.

Xu Xiu suddenly felt a little confused.

Does the sentence 'Perhaps this is the only way to protect you' refer to her suicide?

why?

It seems that she remembered the child she gave birth to after she regained consciousness. Since she could remember it and leave these words soberly, shouldn't she also know that her father has changed in the past few years?

Then why not reveal the child's whereabouts?

Xu Xiu was a little confused.

She suddenly remembered the pile of toys that no one had touched.

It looks like she'll have to look for it carefully.

*

Xu Xiu originally wanted to find an opportunity to go to Xu Yujia's house again, but Xu Lan found her early in the morning and dragged her out to play for the whole day.

Three days passed like this before Xu Xiu finally found the time.

Xu Yujia's room is always locked and no one can enter except for daily cleaning.

But on the day Xu Xiu came back, Old Mrs. Xu gave her the key and password.

"You are the child she desperately wanted to give birth to. You are the most qualified to own and dispose of her things."

Xu Xiu was just glad that she didn't refuse at the beginning, otherwise she would have a hard time finding an excuse to come in again.

She went back to the pile of toys and began to look carefully for some clues.

But after turning it over and over and shaking it back and forth for a long time, I didn't find anything special.

Was that the only sentence she left behind?

Xu Xiu suddenly felt that she might be too sensitive. When she was about to give up, she saw a cake-shaped box.

When I picked it up, I found that it seemed to be a book, or a notebook.

Just a combination lock.

The combination lock is made of plastic and can be disassembled violently if you want to open it.

But Xu Xiu didn’t want to damage anything here.

So she looked at the combination lock and racked her brains.

I tried everything from Xu Yujia's birthday to Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu's birthdays, but they all showed wrong.

Is it because I’m aging that everything goes wrong?

When Xu Xiu was thinking about whether to use some tools to try artificial intelligence to unlock the door, she suddenly had an idea and tried her birthday.

But she regretted it after losing.

Her birthday was told to her by her parents, but maybe it was fake.

However, in the next second, the combination lock opened with a "click".

Xu Xiu was stunned.

She stared blankly at the cake book in her hand.

The password turned out to be her birthday.

Xu Xiu's emotions were indescribably turbulent, but this also proved that Xu Yujia had touched the cake book after waking up.

She opened it nervously.

Soon, there were some noises coming from outside the yard. It seemed like someone wanted to come in.

Xu Xiu looked outside curiously.
