Lose the lights and spend another night

AM1: 35 minutes, the girl was fast asleep at this time.

I made a cup of coffee, sat down at the desk, and opened the envelope Fangfang gave me.

There are a total of 8 photos in it, because they were taken secretly, so some of them are blurry.

In the rotten wooden box, the shadow puppets are still well preserved, and the costumes of the puppets can still be seen clearly.One is a young man in white, one is a maid in green, and the other is a young lady in pink.

This play is probably about the ancient story of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies, right?

I took a random guess.

"Huanxi..."

A strange voice suddenly appeared in the quiet room, my heart skipped a beat, and I looked around.

I calmed myself down, and finally looked at the strange girl—she was breathing evenly. I watched for a long time, but she didn't say a word.

Probably, I was too tired, so I began to hallucinate.I explained a sentence to myself, and then looked at the photos on the table, only to feel an inexplicable chill hit my heart.

Why is the appearance of the maid in green so familiar?

I stood up in a panic, ran to the bathroom with this photo, and looked at myself carefully in the mirror.

I can only be considered handsome. If there is one special place, there is only one thing, that is, the left eyebrow is only half-grown and then broken, so every time I go out, I have to repaint my eyebrows.

And the doll of the maidservant in green clothes is exactly the same as me, with a part of the left eyebrow missing.

"Coincidence, it must be a coincidence, it must have been buried for too long, so the color has faded, it must be!" I lowered my head and looked at the photo again, and those blurred shadow puppet images in my dream suddenly emerged clearly.

"Today is just right, Miss, would you like to go for an outing with Xiaosheng?"

"Huanxi, do you want to go?"

"..."

The image was shattered in an instant, and I looked at myself in the mirror again, my heart pounding.

"I should go to rest. I must be too tired. I must be too tired to have these hallucinations." I put down the photo and quickly poured water on my face to calm myself down.

Eventually, I collapsed on the couch, tossing and turning.

As soon as you close your eyes, those shadow puppet images will clearly float in your mind, but there is no sound in all the pictures.

The night was eerily quiet.

I just hope that the dawn will be early, and after sending this girl away, I will go to the hospital for a good checkup.

The sun shines in through the glass windows, illuminating the whole house.

I rubbed my eyes and sat up, thinking about sending that girl home today.I hurriedly looked for the girl in my sight—she was sitting quietly at the desk looking at the photos I put on the desk yesterday. She was wearing my white shirt and her hair was still a little wet. She should have just taken a shower.

"Are you awake?" I walked towards her, and for some reason, I couldn't help but smile softly, "Are you hungry?"

Actually, I want to ask her, where does she live?But when the words came to his lips, they turned into this sentence.

She stared at me blankly for a long time, and suddenly tears flashed in her eyes, and she nodded emphatically.

Where did she seem to be seen?

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, you wait for me here first, I'll make you something to eat." I explained, thinking that she was frightened by a stranger like me, but I thought about it carefully, yesterday She was so drunk that it was normal to be scared when she woke up in a strange place in the morning.

Suddenly a cold hand reached out and grabbed my hand.

I turned around in surprise, "Ah? What's wrong?"

She beckoned and motioned for me to squat down.

I thought, I should make her feel more at ease, so I squatted down.

Her cold fingertips landed on half of my left eyebrow, caressing it carefully, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Should I be surprised, or think she's rude enough to take my flaws as something ridiculous?

Her fingertips gradually warmed up. She was obviously a stranger, but I couldn't really feel angry at her rude behavior.

"Stop making trouble, eat something, I'll take you home." I grabbed her hand, pretended to be a little angry, and stood up.

Her tears swirled in her eyes, and finally flowed down quietly.

The sad look in his eyes made me palpitate.

"You... don't cry... I'm not angry, I'm really not angry at all." I quickly apologized, but in the end I only got her slight nod.

She...can't speak?

"Are you... are you... can't..." I can't ask directly, she looks really pitiful, if she is really dumb, she was drunk like that last night, it's really scary to think about it .

Finally, I pointed to my mouth.

She nodded.

I gasped, kind of glad it was me she met yesterday, "Can you hear me?"

Some people are born deaf, I just want to make sure.

She nodded.

I let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was a little luckier than I thought.

"Then can you write?"

She nodded again.

I smiled softly, and took the pen and paper from the desk, "You write me your home address, and I'll take you back after breakfast in a while, your parents must be dying of anxiety."

She nodded, picked up the pen seriously, and began to write on the paper.

I turned around and walked into the kitchen, looked for the ingredients in the refrigerator, and started to make breakfast.

The usual breakfast is a glass of milk and a slice of toast, basically just heating it up, but today, I want to make it better and make it richer.

Probably because I feel sorry for the girl outside.

I gave myself an explanation, but couldn't help but ask myself - she's just a stranger, why do I feel so sorry for her?

I have never dared to think deeply about many things, and it is the same this time.

When I walked out of the kitchen with breakfast, she was lying on the desk and fast asleep.

I shook my head and smiled, put the breakfast on the dinner table, and prepared to wake her up.But I found that there were only two words she repeatedly wrote on the white paper - Huanxi.

What is this place?Huanxi District?Huanxi Scenic Area?Huanxi Road?

Sorry, I have never heard of these places.

"Huanxi..." I muttered it again, and suddenly remembered the strange voice that appeared yesterday.

Huanxi...

I feel like I've caused a problem - have I encountered something evil, or is this girl herself an ominous person?

I shook my head violently, and pinched myself, what age is it, and you still believe in these crap?Maybe she just woke up from a hangover, and her mind is still a little unclear. If it's not a place name, it's a person's name.

But just by looking at these two words, I really can't guess whether this is a boy's name or a girl's name?

"Om-"

The phone in my trouser pocket vibrated suddenly, I quickly picked it up, and walked to a corner away from her.

Just let her sleep a little longer.

"Xi Huan, you have to keep the photos I gave you yesterday!"

"What's wrong? Fangfang?"

"Sister was informed by the editor-in-chief today that all interview materials must be handed over, and no secrets are allowed."

"What is this for?"

"I heard that a high-level consortium found out that the ancient tomb of the Song Dynasty belonged to his ancestors, so he bought out the news with money."

"Oh, that's right. The news has been so hot recently. If the news continues, there will definitely be more tourist attractions in the Song Dynasty tombs on the construction site."

"That's not it, haha. They don't know about those photos. You have to keep them. It's not easy for my sister to give you a gift. How about it? Did you still have that dream last night?"

"There is no dream, but I have met one."

"Ah! Xi Huan, you've gone to hell!"

"..."

"Uh...my sister is talking nonsense..."

"Bringing a drunk girl back last night, I'm worried..."

"Ah! Xi Huan, I didn't expect you to be so good at it! No wonder you haven't been in love. Auntie kept asking me to persuade you to talk quickly. Fortunately, I kept talking to you, saying that you are still young..."

"..."

"Can you make people talk properly?!" This time I was really angry.

"Yes! Yes! Of course I can! Tell me, sister, listen!" Fang Fang over there became a good girl in seconds. In fact, in my opinion, she probably wanted to hear gossip.

It's a pity, I'm not gossip at all.

I looked sideways at the girl who was sleeping on the stomach, and suddenly I didn’t want to talk to Fangfang about her matter, “Fangfang, I think I can solve this problem, please help me ask the boss for a day off today, that’s all Lah, bye."

"Ah...Xi Huan, why are you..."

I hung up the phone, walked to the desk, moved a lazy sofa over, and sat down quietly.

Her eyebrows are long, and when she looked at me just now, her eyes were watery and clean.

The small tip of the nose is upturned, which makes people want to scrape it lightly.

"Huanxi..."

My body shook violently, and I searched the room for the source of the sound, but I couldn't find a single figure.

Who is Huanxi?

Is it me, or is it her?

I looked at her face again, and the sense of familiarity welling up in my heart became stronger and stronger.

Thousands of pictures of shadow puppets flashed by, and finally they were fixed on the tinkling wind chimes at the corner of the eaves.

That's a place I've never seen or been to—

It is raining heavily, it is the beginning of spring.

The anxious adults paced back and forth outside the room, Mrs. Wen had been in the room for a long time, and there was no good news, and the wife was already in so much pain that she couldn't make a sound.

I stood quietly aside, feeling very worried.

"Go and get another basin of hot water!"

Wen Po opened the door and gave me some instructions anxiously.

I was taken aback.

The adult frowned and said, "Huanxi, hurry up!"

"..."

I wanted to talk back, but I found that I couldn't make a sound at all.

"Go!"

The adults urged me again.

I hurriedly turned around, and my forehead hit the railing hard. In my dizziness, I finally remembered the things I had forgotten-my name is Huanxi, and I am the dowry maid of Bai Shengniang, the eldest daughter of the silk and satin village of Lin'an Baijia. Reading since I was a child, I felt that the word Huanxi was too vulgar, so I was given a new name, Huanxi.

I was dumb since I was a child, and it happened that the eldest lady likes to be quiet, so after I entered the mansion, the eldest lady picked me to be a companion girl and taught me poetry and books since childhood.

Last year, the eldest lady married Shen Mu, the prefect of Lin'an, and I followed her to Shen's residence.Today is a big day for the young lady to give birth, probably no one will remember it, and today is also my 15th birthday.
