The owner of the hotel dozed off, his head sank, and he woke up with a start.She saw that although Bao Le had hung up the phone, he was still sitting there, motionless in a daze.The female boss felt that, seeing such a girl, there was a high probability that she had quarreled with her parents, ran away from home and suffered a lot, and was hesitating whether to go home.The so-called sea of bitterness is boundless, but if you look back, you will be right. The female boss herself has such a big daughter, and she is always naughty on weekdays, so she pays more attention to Baole.

After the little girl hung up the phone, she sat on the chair for a long time, her head spinning rapidly, and she finally figured out something.

Before, they kept talking about the "Mirror Realm", saying that the land of enlightenment in this world was not destroyed by the earthquake, nor was magnolia chalcedony destroyed. She thought that what Xie Huai possessed was the ability to send people to the past.

Thinking about it now, the current situation is not what she thought it was at all.

The time has not changed, it is still winter 2022, even the location.Although there was a slight error that caused her to teleport from Guanyuan Bridge to such a small village, she did not actually leave Bei Jing.She made a phone call, the number was correct, and the person who answered the phone was the real Shen Wangyan, but this Shen Wangyan didn't know her.

She is not stupid, and she can quickly think that there is only one situation that can explain the current phenomenon.From this point of view, time is right, and what is wrong should be space.Xie Huai's God-given ability does not send people to the past, but to another parallel time and space.

It's like a mirror. The person outside the mirror looks in the mirror, and the figure shown in the mirror is obviously exactly the same, but it is completely opposite.If you stretch out your left hand, what the person in the mirror stretches out must be your right hand.

Although there is Shen Wangyan in this world, it is another Shen Wangyan, a brand new Shen Wangyan who does not know Baole.Then, by analogy, there should be Jiang Bao Le in this world. Thinking about it this way is a bit touching.She just didn't know where Jiang Ning and Shen Xing'er who came with her went, and the three people who came to this world before.

This Xie Huai is not reliable at all, not even a manual.

Speaking of the instruction manual, the little girl vaguely remembered that Xie Huai seemed to have stuffed a card in her pocket before.

At that time, Bao Le turned her back to the hotel owner, and the warm-hearted aunt saw that she had remained in the same position for a long time, and the water dripping from her clothes and hair had wet the ground under her feet.The female boss was wondering if something had happened, and was about to go over to have a look, when suddenly Bao Le moved, which shocked her greatly.She watched the little girl put her hand into her pocket, and after a while pulled out a crumpled piece of paper.

It rained all night. Although the card was in my pocket, but the clothes were wet, the card was not much better.

Fortunately, the string of numbers on the card can still be vaguely recognized, but there is a digit at the end that is blurred, and it looks like a mobile phone number.Bao Le picked up the phone, thinking that even if he tries to go from 0 to 9, he only needs to make ten calls and try one by one. There is no better way anyway.

Bao Le dialed backwards from 9, and after dialing the first number, he introduced himself briefly, and the other party was a mid-spirited woman, and immediately scolded her: "I don't care about your treasure, early morningMake harassing calls, you must be sick!" After finishing speaking, the other party hung up the phone, and then Bao Le silently remembered that it is indeed past two o'clock in the morning...do you want to continue calling?

The female boss looked at the girl, sat on the chair in a daze for a while, then continued to dial with the phone in her arms.In the previous few calls, she either said "I am Bao Le" and then hung up the phone with a blank face, or no one answered it all the time.

About the time got to the seventh pass, finally got something different.

The number of this seventh call shows that it belongs to Bei Jing locality, which is more reliable than the previous ones from all over the world.

At that time, Bao Le was playing with the phone line, counting the seconds, but no one answered after waiting for more than ten seconds.Just when she was about to give up, a man's voice came from the other end of the phone, muffled as if he had just woken up from sleep, and a little hoarse.

"Which one?" the other party asked.

Bao Le put down the twisted phone line, and said calmly as before: "Hi, I'm Jiang Bao..."

As a result, the other party didn't give her a chance to declare herself, so she immediately interrupted her and raised her voice a few decibels: "Jiang Baole?"

It was past two o'clock in the middle of the night, and the little girl made seven phone calls in a row but failed to find out why. She was about to give up, and even began to doze off out of boredom.But this sound of Jiang Baole literally pulled her out of the chaotic state, and Drowsy Bugs flew away immediately.

"Yes, yes, I'm Jiang Baole," she said happily, "Who are you?"

The other party was silent for a moment, and then there was a rustling sound from the other end of the phone, which sounded like they were getting dressed.That person should be talking to her while putting on his clothes and turning on the speakerphone, so she would hear her own voice echoing.

The other party asked her: "Where are you now?"

Bao Le turned his head and glanced at the plaque behind the female boss, and replied: "Well, it should be a village called Nuluo Village. I'm in a hotel called Sunshine Inn. Do you know Nuluo Village..."

"I don't know," the other party said again, "You wait for me to check."

He checked it for more than five minutes, and the Bao Le Drowsy Bugs he checked flew back again.

After a long time, the other party said again: "It will take me two hours to get to your place, don't wander around, wait for me."

After finishing speaking, he hung up, leaving behind a dazed little girl staring at the phone with an expression of disbelief.No, what time is it now?It's two o'clock in the morning, why don't you keep her awake for two hours, she's not just full.And did this person forget to introduce himself? He already knew her name was Jiang Baole, but she didn't know who he was.

Bao Le seriously considered whether to make another call, but after hanging his hand over the dial for a long time, he finally decided to hang up the phone.

After all, it was the phone number given by Xie Huai, so it shouldn't harm her.

And this person is so strange, she has grown up so much, she has never called anyone on the phone, and the other party's tone will be as anxious as his, as if she will disappear if she doesn't rush to finish her sentence.Whose phone number did Xie Huai give her? How could this person know who she was just by hearing her voice.

In addition, there is one more thing that she is more curious about. It is two o'clock in the morning. Will someone be at this hour and drive the night train for two hours to meet another person?

...

There was no private bathroom in the small hotel room, so Bao Le had to borrow a public bathroom from the female boss, cleaned it briefly, and then put on a military overcoat and sat in the lobby to dry his hair.She is cute and has a sweet mouth, and she became acquainted with the female boss after a few chats.When the boss heard that she had to wait for someone, he even smiled and said that he would serve her a bowl of noodles and wait with her while eating.

The female boss said with emotion: "If only my daughter could be as obedient as you are, she is in her twenties and still makes me worry all day long."

Looking at the bloated back of the boss, Bao Le sighed softly. She really wanted someone to worry about her all day, but her parents passed away too early, so she never thought of such a chance.

While the boss was cooking the noodles, the little girl stood at the door of the hotel, looking into the dark road.On the other side of the road is the mountain that she rolled down before. From a distance, it is hidden in the monsoon rain. Just looking at the outline, it should not be high, but it occupies a relatively large area, and it can't be seen at a glance.

What happened on the mountain was like a dream.

I always feel that if go to the mountain to see it at dawn, may not see the ruined temple, nor the five coffins parked inside.Who was that man with a hatchet and a raincoat before? Was it a murderer, or was everything just her hallucination.

The little girl shook her head and took a deep breath. The icy light rain was blowing towards her face with the wind, which instantly woke her up a bit.

It's just that she didn't see a man in a black raincoat hidden in a corner of the shadow of the hotel, just standing there quietly, looking at her motionless.The raindrops fell on the man's raincoat and rolled down to the ground along the brim of his hat. He seemed like a beast stalking its prey, ready to swing the hatchet in his hand anytime and anywhere, and step forward to cut off the head of the prey.

That gaze was so revealing that even Bao Le could feel it, and raised his head hesitantly.

"Hey girl, do you eat spicy food?" The female boss's voice came from the hotel kitchen, the little girl raised her head halfway, turned around, and shouted into the hotel: "Auntie, I don't eat spicy food.hot."

"okay!"

After Bao Le answered this sentence, she continued to look at the place she wanted to look at before, but there was no one there, and naturally there was no saying that someone was looking at her all the time.The little girl rubbed her eyes and looked at her phone, it was three thirty in the morning.It's cold and dark today, and her mental state is no better than before. If that person doesn't come again, maybe she will really fall asleep after a while.

Bao Le sat bored on the threshold of the hotel, looking up at the moonless sky.Originally, she had both hands in the pockets of her military overcoat, but seeing the crystal clear raindrops falling from the eaves, the little girl suddenly became playful, stretched out her right hand, and raised it above her head.Under the dim light of the ceiling of the hotel, the raindrops reflected a warm yellow halo, and when they landed in Baole's hands, they were icy cold and very comfortable.

The little girl liked this touch very much, stretched her neck, and entertained herself.

...

When he arrived, he saw such a picture.He used to think that all wounds would heal with time.But when he saw her again, the dull pain in his chest was still overwhelming, making him almost out of breath.

You may not imagine how five years will change a person.

It took him five years to make himself cold-blooded and powerful, so that anyone who saw him would think he was a lunatic.But five years, her five years... Really nothing has changed, she is still so heartless, she still laughs like a child.

He always felt that she was a ray of sunshine coming in through the skylight in his dark life, and it didn't take much, even just a little bit could brighten his whole life.Therefore, he was cautious and fearful, for fear that one day, this ray of light would never pass by his window again.

But after all, he didn't do well enough.

The man held an umbrella in the rain and stood quietly all the time.He knew he should go forward, but at the same time hoped that she would find him later.He didn't expect much. With such a distance, he didn't need to squeeze into her world. As long as he watched from a distance, he seemed to be able to see the end of the world.
