omnipotent office

"What? Are you shy?" Duan Huichuan didn't notice the strangeness of the other party, tugged at his sleeve, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't laugh at you."

The gaffe was only for a moment, and when Yan Yijun turned around, his eyes returned to the usual calm and gentle, without missing any trace of his heart, he held Duan Huichuan's wrist, tightened it slightly, and said with a smile: "Compared to this , you are still worried that it would be more appropriate for me to see you who wet the bed when I was a child."

"Why are your fingers so cold? Did it get blown?" Duan Huichuan ignored his teasing, held Yan Yijun's hands firmly in his palms, and rubbed them vigorously until they became hot, and he kept screaming. Live in Bai Jian, "Xiao Bai, where is your home?"

After being fed a mouthful of dog food, Bai Jian walked around the big banyan tree twice silently, and suddenly heard the boss' call, so she dawdled over, raised her finger and pointed to the end of the path: "It's almost here, just ahead. "

The three of them continued to tour for a while at a leisurely pace, and finally stood still in front of a three-story stilted building.

This is the tallest building in the whole village. The base is densely piled with bluestone square bricks as the foundation, and thick wooden piles and bamboo boards are firmly placed on top of it. The wooden house is covered with a layer of plaster, which looks simple and old-fashioned. Rustic, the four corners of the eaves fly high, and wet raindrops fall down the eaves, making a series of crisp sounds on the brick floor.

After the drizzle, the moss and some unknown vegetation emerged from the gaps, tenaciously climbing up the stone, embellishing the cold stone with sparse green patterns.

"Xiaobai, is this your home?" Duan Huichuan looked up loudly, "You're still a landlord class?"

Bai Jian scratched the back of her head in embarrassment, and laughed shyly: "My family is a rich family in the village, and the houses here are built brick by brick with everyone's help. Let's go in and rest."

He took the lead and ran upstairs. The building was made of wood from the ladder to the wall panels and pillars. It was quite old and creaked when stepped on.

There was a rusty old-fashioned iron lock hanging on the door, Bai Jian fumbled for a key from her pocket, fiddled with it and opened it.

Pushing open the door, the sun scrambled to seep into the room, and the movement caused a large cloud of dust to fly in the beam. There was no one in the room, and there was no light. The light leaked in from the door and window barely illuminated the drowsy big room. , a decadent smell gradually permeated with the intrusion of strange guests.

The room is very spacious, with simple and simple furnishings. There is an altar table against the wall directly opposite the living room, and two candlesticks stand on the left and right. The solid wood table and chairs are placed by the side wall. The table is quite large, and it is not a problem for ten people to sit.An old TV set on the drawer opposite is probably the most precious thing here.

Open the bamboo curtain and go in, which is the corridor leading to the bedroom and kitchen, as well as the stairs up and down.

Bai Jian didn't think there was anything wrong. She took a rag and wiped off the dusty tables and chairs. She greeted them to sit down with a relaxed expression. They cooked hot water and poured tea. The water was imported mountain spring water. There is a hint of sweetness in the clearness.

Duan Huichuan is a bold man with high skills, and only demons and ghosts have always been afraid of him. He is a person who can sleep soundly in a graveyard, oh no, a dragon.

No matter how thick the nerve is, there is something wrong with it.Holding the bamboo cup, he looked back and forth at this wooden house, a very ordinary room, although the sparrow is small and complete, the only thing it lacks is popularity.

Duan Huichuan and Yan Yijun looked at each other, and they both saw the suspicion in each other's eyes. He watched Bai Jian rushing in and out, and asked, "Xiaobai, this house is so big, how many people are there in your family?"

Bai Jian counted with her fingers: "A lot, my parents, grandparents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, aunts and uncles, there are a lot of them."

"..." Duan Huichuan paused speechlessly for a moment, and then said again, "So many relatives live together?"

"Of course, it's lively." Bai Jian took it for granted, "When I was young, they treated me very well. Every night when I came back from work, they would bring me a lot of delicious and fun things. In fact, I also want to go out with them once in a while. But they wouldn't allow it."

The doubts in Duan Huichuan's eyes became more and more serious. Bai Jian did not doubt that he was there, and said excitedly: "It's still early, so I'll take you around again? But there's nothing interesting in the daytime, and it will be lively at night."

……

Sunset quietly descends in the silent village.

When the last twilight of the sunset came back from the top of the mountain and the moonlight began to fall on the ground, jubilant human voices and dog barking could be faintly heard in the distance, and the originally deserted village seemed to wake up from a deep sleep suddenly, with vitality and fireworks.

Duan Huichuan woke up in a daze, and found himself leaning on Yan Yijun's shoulder.

The two wandered around the village for a while in the afternoon, but they didn't find anything weird, so they had to go back to Bai Jian's house and take a nap in the recliner on the balcony. Unexpectedly, when they opened their eyes, night had already arrived.

Several big pie faces approached him, looking at him curiously, and said in unison: "Xiaobai's boss is awake? Get up and finish eating!"

But Duan Huichuan was taken aback.

Yan Yijun sat on the side, watching him rarely get scared, and smiled: "They are Xiaobai's family."

"???" Duan Huichuan rubbed his eyes, and then came back to his senses, standing in front of him was a group of men, women, old and young, three aunts and six wives, dressed plainly, with curious eyes, like watching monkeys in a zoo.

One of the older grandmothers, with a kind face and kind eyes, held his hand very affectionately, and said with a smile: "It's the first time our Xiaobai brings friends back to play, he has caused you a lot of trouble outside, right? "

A dark-skinned little brother next to him yelled loudly: "Mum told you to go downstairs for dinner, the food will be cold in a while!"

"That's right, let's go downstairs and sit down. Our small place in the village doesn't have much to entertain you. Don't dislike it, you two. After dinner, let Xiaobai take you to the night market. It's very lively."

Duan Huichuan and Yan Yijun were crowded downstairs by the crowd, overwhelmed by the simple enthusiasm of Bai Jian's family, Duan Huichuan dragged Yan Yijun at a loss, until he ate a few bowls of delicious white rice, his stomach was fast It didn't stop until it couldn't walk.

It was even worse for Bai Jian, who spent the whole night dealing with criticisms from relatives, severe criticism and scolding from his parents, and matchmaking from three aunts and six wives. A group of children up to his knees surrounded him, chirping and asking how the outside world looked like.

Lively, hustle and bustle, full of voices, it seems like two worlds from the quiet village during the day.

"My God, Xiaobai grew up in such an environment." The two fled out of the big house in a breakdown and came to the street. Duan Huichuan still had lingering fears about the hospitality and enthusiasm of the Bai family, sighing and sympathizing, "No wonder the foster family It became a naive and simple temperament."

But in just a few hours, the whole street changed. Red lanterns were hung under the eaves from house to house, decorated with lights and festoons everywhere, and roadside vendors sold moon rabbits and Chang'e sugar figurines, as if welcoming the Mid-Autumn Festival. 's arrival

Children in twos and threes galloped past on the street, holding mooncakes made by adults in their hands, and young couples lit Kongming lanterns, one by one, and put them in the sky.

A disc-like silver moon hung in the night, and the bright and gentle silver light swelled at the edge, casting it on every inch of land and on everyone's face without discrimination.

Duan Huichuan and Yan Yijun looked at each other, feeling more and more weird.Yan Yijun looked up at the moonlight, and pursed his lips slightly: "If I remember correctly, there are still two days until the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"...What do you mean?" Duan Huichuan's eyes wandered among the passing crowd. These were all real people, and there were no ghosts or ghosts.He frowned, "Is the time here wrong?"

Yan Yijun shook his head ponderingly: "If the time is wrong, there will be flaws in Bai Jian's memory, but he didn't notice it. I feel like some kind of spatial dislocation."

"Day and night are two different time and space?" Duan Huichuan thought about his words, "These people, including Xiaobai's family, all existed, or at least existed, but they only have At night, it can overlap with the time and space we are in, so during the day the village is empty, but at night it becomes very lively?"

Yan Yijun nodded slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but drifted to the overly eye-catching big banyan tree. If the coincidence of overlapping time and space is true, then as Bai Jian said, some fragments of memory may be seen in the tree hole, most likely It is true.

Just when he was out of his mind, Duan Huichuan suddenly trembled all over, and looked at the pair of embracing thousand-year-old banyans in disbelief—the purple ring around his neck trembled and faintly glowed again!

That indicates that the third diamond is just around the corner!Just in this overlapping mysterious time and space!

so lucky?Come out to play around and come across new diamonds?

Duan Huichuan tried his best to suppress his excitement. Could this be the power of the luck stone dug out from the dragon's veins?

"Come on, let's go and see that banyan tree!"

He couldn't help saying, pulled Yan Yijun and walked into the crowd, the latter followed his footsteps helplessly, watching the two getting closer to the ancient tree, Yan Yijun lowered his eyes, calmly suppressing a slight tension And panic.

The banyan tree in the night is exactly the same as when I first saw it in the daytime. Countless red silk ribbons dance with the wind under the moon, just like the old red ropes, tied one by one by the lovers who have been here before.

"Don't you believe in this legend?" Yan Yijun turned his face to the side, looked at Duan Huichuan's excited face, and made a final struggle, "Or, let's not..."

Duan Huichuan didn't expect that the other party cared so much about a legend, if it was something else, maybe he wouldn't force it, but it was about diamonds and rings, he had to find out.

"It's just a legend, don't be nervous." Duan Huichuan couldn't be too intimate with people coming and going, so he quietly took his hand, scratched Yan Yijun's palm, and said with a smile, "I'm just joking during the day, even if I didn't see anything, and I won't break up with you, don't worry."

"I'm not talking about this..." Yan Yijun hesitated to speak, lowered his eyelids, let the night wind mess up his forehead hair, his eyes fell tiredly somewhere in nothingness, as if he was ignited by the lines carved on the roadside flower beds. I became interested, "If I really saw some phantoms, it may not have happened for real..."

Duan Huichuan was slightly taken aback, originally dismissive of the legend, he couldn't help but feel a little shaken, the space here is so weird, and there are lost diamonds hidden nearby, if it's true—wouldn't Yan Yijun find out Is it a secret that I am not human?

So the two people, who had their own thoughts, fell into struggle and silence at the same time under the huge banyan tree with people coming and going.

"Well, otherwise..." Duan Huichuan spoke out first, and thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, "I'll go and see for myself, and you will wait here for me."

Bai Jian said that the two of them would hold hands and walk in together. If they were alone, it shouldn't matter, right?

Yan Yijun's expression relaxed slightly, as if he had let go of some indescribable defense, and looked at him with a smile: "Alright."

On the other side, Bai Jian finally broke free from the evil voices of the big family. The boss and the doctor could not be found inside or outside. gone."

"Oh, I must have gone to the Banyan Tree Cave. Alas, the boss said he didn't believe it, but in fact he must be secretly looking forward to it." Bai Jian grinned secretly.

Heipi's eyes widened: "Aren't those two big men? They are lovers? The marriage hole can only be safely exited by two lovers walking together. They are all beautiful marriages. They can't be done alone. Last time Adou didn't believe in evil, so he ran in, and fell into a coma for three days and three nights, having nightmares all the time."

"Don't worry, I just told them about the Banyan Tree Cave because I knew they were a couple, and they will definitely go together!"

Duan Huichuan stood at the entrance of the cave, stretching out his hand to caress the rough tree trunk. After countless years of wind and rain erosion, the bark has been eroded a lot, and new shoots have sprouted from the dead branches.

The tree hole was extremely high, just wide enough for two people to pass through. He held the trembling ring with one hand, and a clear thought came to his mind that the new diamond was in the tree hole.

Unexpectedly, as soon as one foot stepped into the hole, the world suddenly turned around!

His consciousness seemed to be sucked into an unknown black hole in an instant, and the darkness surged like a tide, swallowing him...

When he woke up again, he opened his eyes to see a blue sky, Duan Huichuan rubbed his humming head, stood up with difficulty, looked around in a daze, the banyan tree was gone, and Yan Yijun was gone.

Duan Huichuan's heart skipped a beat, his face became extremely ugly!

Get tricked by that kid Bai Jian!

He got up quickly, and the surroundings looked like an unknown small village, with no stilted buildings, just a row of ordinary dwellings.He followed the sound of people, and saw a large group of villagers gathered in front of a small wooden house, holding sticks and shovels in their hands, cursing something loudly.

But he couldn't hear him, Duan Huichuan pushed aside the crowd suspiciously, and came to the door of the wooden house, everyone seemed to be unable to see him at all, like the air, without a glance.

Immediately afterwards, the wooden house opened.
