"Chirp..."

Taking a closer look, with the help of the light from the opposite house, Xun Bao finally saw clearly that it was a bird with brown feathers. The bird was standing by the window sill, and its right wing was caught by the iron window for some reason!

"Chirp!" The little bird seemed to be spiritual. After noticing Xun Bao's approach, he uttered more anxiously, as if asking him for help.

At that moment, Xun Bao seemed to be able to feel the pain of the little bird. It was a feeling of sudden contact between hearts, which was mysterious, but it made Xun Bao worry.

Holding the vegetable basket and the umbrella in the same hand, Xun Bao anxiously but cautiously knocked on the window of that house. There was no light in the window, and the bird chirped as if in distress.

"Little guy, wait for me!"

"Chirp!"

Looking at the poor little boy whose body was wet by the rain, Xun Bao gritted his teeth and ran to the front of the alley, ready to knock on the front door of this family.

But a few minutes later, Xun Bao ran back panting.The family should have gone out, but they closed all the doors and windows when they saw it was raining before going out.

But Xun Bao didn't find nothing. He found a flat metal strip from the scraps nearby, and wanted to try to see if he could pry open the bars.

It's a pity that compared to the solid iron window, the metal bar is still a bit brittle, and it was bent and broken before it was fully pried in. It also left red marks on Xun Bao's hand, and blood can be seen vaguely.

Looking at the bits of metal fragments remaining in the gaps between the bars and the small gaps that were finally exposed, Xun Bao knew that the little guy could escape by just a little bit, so he put down all the vegetable baskets and umbrellas in his hand, and just drenched in the heavy rain Just use your fingers to break the gap.

There are all kinds of barbs on the rusty windows, and Xun Bao can feel the pain from his fingers just scratched by the metal strips.

Thinking of the rainy night when he was picked up by Yan Fang, thinking of what Yan Fang said just now, looking at the brown bird that was much more pitiful than himself, Xun Bao gritted his teeth and held back, exhausting the strength he had accumulated for more than 20 years, while exerting all his strength. One side roared.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

The moment the bars were finally broken, blood streamed from Xun Bao's fingertips and dripped onto the little guy's trembling wings.However, Xun Bao's efforts paid off in the end. At the moment when the bars were loosened, the little guy had already retracted his wings with a "chirp" cry. He was rescued from behind bars.

"Look, little guy." Xun Bao's hands were trembling a little, but he still smiled and said to the little guy on the windowsill, "Some good things always happen on rainy days, just like I met Sister Fang, and you met my sister Fang." I."

The rain dripped continuously down Xun Bao's hair. Even if his already outstanding appearance was embarrassed by the rain, it would not damage his elegance. Instead, the young man's smile was warmed by the light from the next door.

"Chirp!"

"Are you worried about me?" Maybe this rainy night gave Xun Bao some illusions. He always felt that the little guy's peasy eyes were a little wet. "It's raining so hard, there should be nowhere to go? Don't come home with me?"

Meeting on such a rainy night, Xun Bao always felt that it was a rare fate.

But in the next second, the little guy whose wings should have been injured suddenly flapped his wings and flew towards the high sky!

"Can you still fly?" Xun Bao raised his head in surprise, and looked in the direction where the bird was flying, only to find that the rain in the sky was getting less and less, and the dark clouds that originally covered the entire sky were also quickly dissipating. opened, causing the moonlight that had been covered for a long time to fall on this splendid city again.

the rain has stopped...

Xun Bao continued to look for the figure of the little bird, but found that the little figure was completely gone in the night sky under the moon.

Maybe go home.

Xun Bao lowered his head somewhat disappointed, but accidentally missed the light falling like a meteor in the moonlight.

At the top of the city, the seemingly inconspicuous little brown bird flew higher than those huge birds, especially when the dark clouds cleared and the moonlight reappeared, the little bird stretched its soft legs Wing, no trace of injury can be seen at all.

Just when the wings were stretched, a magical and shocking scene happened.Under the moonlight, the ordinary brown feathers began to glow softly, and then gradually became transparent!

From brown to transparent, finally turning into a body and wings as dazzling as crystal diamonds, the little guy is like the most perfect artwork in the world, but it is alive and flying through the moonlight...

On the wing carved like a crystal diamond, there is a feather that is different, because that feather is stained with a drop of Xun Bao's blood, a drop of sincere and true blood, which turns into a bright red gemstone on the crystal diamond feather, reflecting the The moonlight, shining brightly, adorns it, never disappears.

"Chirp..."

At the end of leaving, the bird of crystal diamond looked down at the place where the alley was, as if reluctant to give up, before merging into the moonlight.

"It's time to go home." Xun Bao tidied up the rain-soaked vegetable basket and the umbrella that had fallen to the side, and continued to walk towards his low-rent house.Although the vegetables were drenched by rain, the balance in his wallet did not allow him to discard the basket of vegetables, wash it several times, and maybe he could still eat it for a few days.

By the way, if there is a chance, Xun Bao still hopes to have a good chat with Yan Fang. If he really doesn't like it, why bother procrastinating?Although Xun Bao is easily moved, he knows that breaking up as soon as possible is a good thing for both of them.

The heavy rain in Jinxiu City continued to fall after it stopped overnight, making the rare weekend look a little cloudy, and there were no pedestrians outside the grocery store. Everyone seemed to choose to hide at home, or turn on the heated bookstore coffee Spend weekends in the living room.

Because Yun Mianmian went to play with his classmates early in the morning, Boss Bai sat on the sofa alone and read for a while.

Under such weather conditions, it seems that only children are still enthusiastic about playing.

Putting down the book he had finished reading, Boss Bai looked at the time on the wall clock, got up from the sofa, and walked down the stairs step by step into the secret basement.

On the left are secret lockers. Only Boss Bai knows what kind of treasures or secret treasures are hidden in them.On the right is the shelf for the dolls. On the shelf closest to the door are the dolls lent to Ke Lan before. At this moment, the camouflage skin has been removed, exposing various round spherical joints, made of ordinary black spar His eyes no longer had the brightness and radiance they had before.

Completely became a dead thing.

Boss Bai stepped forward and walked to the very end of the basement. The three perfect dolls placed on the sofa closed their eyes tightly, like ordinary humans falling into a deep sleep.

Beside the sofa is a gorgeous life-size mirror, which allows Boss Bai to see himself clearly in the mirror.

"Thank you for Ke Lan's matter." A force familiar to Boss Bai appeared from the mirror, and in the next second, cloud-like swirls began to appear in the originally flat mirror, "It's not just about making that child stay in the world." It’s been a long time, and I’m sorry to trouble you, the old man, to pick it up in person.”

"The old man will not do this kind of thing himself." An old voice came from the mirror, "Although the manpower is tight, there are still one or two men who can be dispatched."

"But I saw you." Boss Bai opened his eyes innocently, "You are the one who took Ke Lan away."

"..." The mirror was silent for a long time, and finally choked out a sentence, "People are tough."

White Ghost: "..."

"Cough cough." The old voice coughed a few times, as if he didn't say the four words just now, and then said, "The old man went out in person, just to see when you will die completely. It is always dead and alive, dead and alive, it is simply a black spot in the history of the old business."

"Please don't worry, I'm still alive and well." The white ghost chuckled, and could feel a little concern from the words of the man in the mirror.

"Huh, don't die if you have the ability." The man in the mirror snorted coldly, "I don't recognize people when I'm old, if you change your face again, maybe the old man will drag you away just because I don't recognize you , so remember it well for this old man.”

"Thank you."

After the white ghost said his thanks, the cloud and mist in the mirror gradually dissipated, and finally returned to the most ordinary mirror, and the figure of Boss Bai still appeared in the mirror.
