On the day of the end of the final exam, it began to rain heavily.

Thick lead-colored clouds pressed down, gusty winds gusted, and without warning, large white raindrops fell ferociously.

Jane Yi's small parasol was completely unable to withstand such a strong wind and rain, so she had no choice but to temporarily find a pavilion on the side of the road to rest.

This pavilion has a special shape. The four pillars supporting the roof are all living logs. The roots of the trees are still buried in the soil, but the trunk is cut off by the lazy waist.branches.

The elementary school students who had finished their exams laughed and made noises in the heavy rain. Some children not only didn't have umbrellas, but they didn't even wear raincoats.

Jane Yi stood in the pavilion for a while, and waited until the line of students had left sparsely, but the rain hadn't shown any signs of letting up.

She was a little tired from standing, but there was no seat in the pavilion, so she could only lean against the tree trunk and wait.

But the moment she leaned against the tree trunk, her consciousness seemed to be invaded by something cold, and a vague shadow suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

Jane Yi was startled, and immediately straightened her crooked body.

Now the blurry shadow disappeared.

"What is that shadow?" Jane Yi thought, looking around quickly.

No suspicious figure was found, but there were fewer and fewer people on the road.

Is it the trunk?

Jane Yi didn't lean against the tree trunk this time, but just reached out and touched the tree trunk lightly.

As the field of vision zoomed in, the blurry shadow in my mind became much clearer.

It was a woman in a pink shirt lying in a mud puddle.

But the facial features and expressions are still unclear.

Jane Yi withdrew her hand touching the tree trunk and calmed down for a while, she still wanted to see more clearly.

After touching the tree for the third time, a slightly blue face with round eyes approached her without warning.

Jane Yi only felt that she had a sudden cardiac arrest, and quickly withdrew her hand.

She raised her head and found that the people on the road had almost left. There was no sound of people on this road at all, only the sound of rain.

The remaining fear choked Jane Yi's heart, and she took up her parasol and walked into the heavy rain, regardless of the rain.

The rain was blown obliquely by the wind, and Jane Yi's clothes got wet under the cover of the umbrella.

Who is that woman who appeared out of nowhere?Why can see her appearance by touching the tree trunk?Is she... dead?

A mess of thoughts ran through my mind.

"...Hey, are you okay?" A male voice suddenly sounded in my ear.

Jane Yi exclaimed in shock, and the parasol she was holding trembled.

"What are you thinking about? You're absent-minded." Bai Lu was slightly startled, obviously startled by her reaction.

"No, nothing." Jane Yi shook her head, suppressed her chaotic thoughts, and asked nonchalantly, "Hasn't the exam been over for a long time? Why haven't you come home yet?"

Bai Lu was not happy to hear this question: "Aren't you here?"

He glanced at Jane Yi's umbrella, and continued: "It's raining so much, you only need such a small umbrella, it's no wonder you don't get drenched."

"It rained suddenly. The weather was fine earlier." Jane Yi looked enviously at the big blue umbrella in his hand that could accommodate three people.

"Forget it, put away your umbrella." Bai Lu moved the umbrella over, "It looks really shabby."

"Thank you." Jane Yi put away her umbrella and hid under the blue umbrella, "Xiaolu, how did you do on the final exam?"

I heard from Teacher Wu Yue that the questions this year are more difficult, and the average score is estimated to be much lower than last year.

Bai Lu turned his head and said impatiently: "You adults are so boring, you only ask this kind of questions."

Jane Yi was a little embarrassed, she didn't know Bai Lu very well, so she really could only ask such innocuous questions.

But thinking back to when I was a child, I really didn't like others chasing after me to inquire about my grades.

The two walked side by side in the rain.

After being silent for a while, Bai Lu said, "It's pretty good."

Jane Yi was inexplicable: "What?"

"You did well in the exam, didn't you just ask?"

Jane Yi: "...Oh." After such a long interval, who would have thought that you were answering the question just now?

It's not an illusion, this kid's awkward personality is really somewhat similar to Jian Xingzhou.

Jane Yi is not good at communicating with such people. She always has to think about the other person's mind, which is a bit tiring.

"Teacher Jane." Bai Lu kept addressing her with "Hi", but Jane Yi was not used to being so serious all of a sudden, "How long have you been with Brother Xiao Jin?"

"More than three years."

"It doesn't sound like a long time."

"It's really not long, but it's enough for me to see a person clearly." Jane Yi said with some regret: "If Ah Jin hadn't suddenly turned into a big cat, we would be married now."

Having said that, Bai Lu turned his head and glanced at her coolly.

The meaning of the eyes is unclear.

"Did you really see clearly?" Bai Lu asked.

It was another word that didn't match the preamble, but this time the interval was not long, and Jane Yi was able to respond: "Of course."

Having been together day and night for two years, and experiencing many things together, Jane Yi knows exactly what kind of person Lan Jin is.

Bailu stopped.

Jane Yi also stopped, and looked at him who was silent suspiciously: "Bailu?"

"It doesn't matter if he's a monster? It doesn't matter if he can never become a human?" Bai Lu's tone was mocking.

Jane Yi was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "It's a monster or something. Xiaozhu is also a monster, and we get along very well. As for not being able to become a human in the future, I have considered this situation and I can completely accept it. Ah Jin nowIt looks cute too."

"You can say some useless beautiful words." Bai Lu felt that her reply was too naive, "I know very well what an adult can become when he is selfish."

"Do you mean your father by selfish adults?"

Bai Lu didn't reply.

Jane Yi wisely stopped asking.

Although Bai Lu was not very happy, he still sent Jane Yi to the door.

It was Lan Jin who came to open the door, and he was quite surprised when he saw Bai Lu at the door, "Did you two come back together?"

"Her umbrella is too small, it can't stop the rain at all." Bai Lu lazily turned the handle of the umbrella in his hand.

Lan Jin stroked Jane Yi's hair and frowned: "It's all wet."

"It's okay, I didn't get drenched too much." Jane Yi smiled and hid under the big cat's umbrella.

"I called you several times but no one answered. I'm planning to go out with Xiaozhu to pick you up."

Jane Yi touched the handbag subconsciously: "I muted it during the invigilation in the classroom, I didn't notice it, sorry."

Seeing that the two of them were chatting with each other sentence by sentence, Bai Lu regarded him as a transparent person, and said angrily, "I'm going home, so please take your time to make out."

Big Maomao hurriedly asked to stay: "Xiaolu, do you want to stay for dinner?"

Bai Lu made a cut, and waved his back to them to express their refusal.

"Did we accidentally snub him just now?" Jane Yi whispered.

Big Maomao scratched the back of his head: "It seems a little... oh, let's go into the house, your clothes are all wet, you have to change quickly, if you accidentally catch a cold, it will be bad."

Lan Jin said and hugged Jane Yi.

"Stop hugging, it will wet your hair later." Jane Yi pushed him gently.

"It's okay, I don't mind." The big cat said and hugged him even tighter.

Jane Yi simply took a hot shower, changed into clean clothes, and drank a bowl of medicine to prevent colds, feeling warm all over her body.

The rain outside has lightened a lot, and the sound of raindrops falling on the eaves sounds quite comfortable.

After drying her damp hair, Lan Jin rolled up the cord of the hair dryer and put it in the drawer.

When the big cat sat down next to him, Jane Yi lifted a bare* bare leg and placed it on his lap, resting on the soft and fluffy cat fur, and rubbed it comfortably a few times: "Ajin, I encountered a strange situation today.thing."

Big Maomao was going to massage her legs with a meat pad, but stopped when he heard this: "What's wrong? Have you encountered a monster again?"

The bluish purple face of a strange woman appeared in her mind, and Jane Yi could not help but shudder.She was already very close to Lan Jin, but now she was about to sit on the other's body.

Da Mao Mao sensed her uneasy mood, hugged her directly, and asked, "Is it a scary monster?"

Jane Yi leaned against the big cat, feeling at ease, and told him carefully what she had seen and heard in the small pavilion.

"I know the small pavilion you're talking about. The four trunks are all Futuo wood." Lan Jin pulled the wood carving around his neck, "This wood carving is made of Futuo wood."

"If you say that..." Jane Yi stood up, took the "Monster Illustrated Book" from the bookcase, and quickly looked up the introduction of "Futuo" through the catalog.

"Youkai like Futuomu have shared memories! Not only can they be shared among members of the same race, but they can also be shared with people who can see the monster by touching the tree trunk." Jane Yi roughly concluded after reading the content.

Lan Jin and Jane Yi looked at each other: "Could it be that someone killed that woman, and Fu Tuomu just saw the body?"

This guess is even scarier than the setting that touching the tree trunk can see the memory.

Jane Yi: "Otherwise, let's go to that small pavilion again later and see if we can find more clues."

After dinner, Lan Jin and Jane Yi went out together.

"It's been raining nonstop for a long time." Jane Yi looked at the gloomy sky.

"It's better to stay longer, the high temperature has lasted for a long time." There was a fresh smell in the air after the rain, and the chilliness made people feel very comfortable.

Lan Jin took a deep breath.

When they got to the small pavilion, the big cat first touched Futuomu with the meat pad, but there was nothing unusual in front of him.

"I didn't see anything." Lan Jin simply hugged the pillar, but the scenery in front of him still didn't change.

"I'll try." Jane Yi reached out and touched the tree trunk.

Just like what Lan Jin said, she didn't feel the foreign body sensation of her thinking being invaded.

It is recorded in "Monster Illustrated Book" that Futuomu's memories are fragmented and chaotic, so it is not surprising that this happens.

After a few more attempts, it was still fruitless, but the rain stopped.

"Yi Yi, since you can't see it, just forget it." Lan Jin didn't want her to be involved in such an incident that seemed to be linked to murder, "We can report this to Grandma Yue Fen, if the village reallyIf there is a homicide, if she can contact the mountain god, it will be handled faster."

"That's right." Jane Yi sighed, regretting that she was afraid of running too fast. If she had touched the tree trunk more, she might have seen more information.

"Don't be upset, we can go to the mountain to see the rainbow bird now that the rain has just stopped." The big cat bumped Jane Yi with his shoulder and comforted him.

The author has something to say:

What!There is another chapter later.
