Half a month before the start of school, Jane Yi went to Bailu Town.

She planned to buy red pens and notebooks in large quantities, and went to the bookstore to buy some textbooks for reference.

After shopping and preparing to take the bus home, she saw Bailu on the side of the road.

Today is the day to go to the market, so there are more small vendors on the roadside.

Bai Lu crouched in front of a pink cage, looking at the rabbit inside.

"Do you want to buy a rabbit?" Jane Yi knelt down beside him.

I don't know if it was because he was too engrossed in watching it, or because of other reasons, when Bai Lu heard her voice, his body trembled unconsciously, and he turned his head with a panicked expression: "Why are you here?"

Jane Yi: "I'm in town to do some shopping."

"Brother Xiao Jin didn't come with you?" Bai Lu looked around, but didn't find the familiar big orange cat.

"He recently took on a job writing a book on food. He was busy, so I came alone. What about you? Did you come alone? Grandma Yue Fen didn't come with you?"

"No. There are quite a lot of people looking for grandma to check their fortune today, and she is not free." After speaking, Bai Lu's eyes fell on the little rabbit again, and asked, "Boss, how do you sell this little rabbit?"

"Except for this one with black ears, all others cost 20 yuan each." The boss replied.

"I just want this black ear, how much?"

Jane Yi whispered: "This one doesn't look energetic, it seems to be sick."

The other three snow balls were grazing vigorously, only the little rabbit with black ears was sleeping sideways, looking listless and messy.

The boss is a real person, and he didn't lie to him because of his young age: "My little friend, this rabbit was born with a weak body, and it doesn't look like it will live long. If you like it, choose one from the other three."

Bai Lu was very stubborn, even though he was persuaded, he still wanted the black-eared rabbit: "It's okay, I want it, how much is it?"

"Hey, you kid doesn't listen to advice." The boss smiled, "Do you have a soft spot for black ears?"

Bai Lu didn't speak.

"If you like it, take five yuan with you."

"Okay, deal." Bai Lu lowered his head and took out the money.

After some transactions, Bai Lu was ready to go home with the cage containing the black-eared bunny.

Jane Yi reminded him: "Don't you buy some hay and feed for the rabbit? It is so small, eating vegetables will cause diarrhea, right?"

"These things are available at home." Bai Lu replied.

After taking two steps, he still didn't forget to choke her: "Don't compare me to a brat who wants to raise animals on a whim."

Jane Yi has gradually gotten used to his poisonous tongue, and only responded perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, yes."

After getting on the bus, Bai Lu consciously chose to sit by the window, leaving the outer seat vacant.

Jane Yi, who didn't want to get in the car later, didn't sit down next to him, but looked around, and finally chose to hold the handrail and stand silently.

Bai Lu frowned and looked at her: "Aren't you going to sit? It takes more than half an hour to go back to the village from here, which is not a short time."

Jane Yi shook her head at him: "I only sit in the window seat, otherwise I will get dizzy, it's better to stand."

"What kind of eccentricity?" Although Bai Lu spoke harshly, he still moved to the outer seat and motioned for her to go in.

"Thank you." Jane Yi sat on the seat inside with the book in her arms.

When approaching the door of the house, Jane Yi saw a bright yellow car parked in front of Yue Fen's mother-in-law's house.

The car door opened, and a thin man came out from inside.

He walked around the front of the car, opened the door of the passenger seat, and supported a woman in a beige skirt with an obvious pregnancy.

Seeing this scene, Jane Yi secretly guessed that they should have come to ask Granny Yue Fen to name the unborn child.

It turns out not to be.

Before they could knock on the door, Bai Lu on the side rushed forward aggressively, asking in a questioning tone, "What are you doing here?"

His question was obviously directed at the man.

"Xiaolu!" The man's voice was pleasantly surprised, "I haven't seen you for a while, you seem to have grown taller."

Bai Lu sneered, did not answer his question, but repeated his question stubbornly: "What are you doing here?"

"Your father misses you, let's take a look at you." The pregnant woman who was being supported said.

Bai Lu was impatient and raised his voice: "Shut up, who asked you?"

The pregnant woman turned pale and leaned softly on the man's shoulder.

"Xiaolu, why are you talking to Auntie? You have no manners at all." Bai Shu scolded him with a frown, and then noticed the cage in his hand, his expression changed: "Are you raising rabbits again?"

"Yeah, raising rabbits again." Bai Lu intentionally put the accent on the word "again", with a mocking smile on his face.

"Xiaolu, Dad has indeed neglected you for the past two years. I admit it. I came this time to make it up to you."

"Compensation? By making other women's bellies bigger?" Bai Lu didn't hide the malice in his words.

The pregnant woman didn't expect his mouth to be so poisonous, so she stuttered angrily: "You...you..."

Bai Shu reassured her, and said to Bai Lu with a calm face: "Xiao Lu, can't you keep your mouth clean? Do you want to make the scene that should be happy and happy so stiff? No matter how I say it, I'm your father!"

These words seemed to have triggered Bai Lu's rage: "Come on! I don't have a father! I don't have a mother! I only have a grandma!"

As soon as Bai Lu finished speaking, the expected slap fell on his face.

The force full of anger made him feel that his left side of his face lost consciousness for a moment, his face was slapped to one side, and his hair was messed up.

Jane Yi didn't stand close, but she could feel that the slap didn't have any strength at all.

Bailu almost didn't even stand firm.

She didn't want to meddle in other people's housework, but it was too much to hit a child so hard.

Furious, Jane Yi walked quickly to Bai Lu's side, seeing him with his head bowed, bangs covering his eyes, his expression was unclear, and the depressive atmosphere lingering around him made him even angrier.

But before she could speak, Bai Lu grabbed her arm and pulled her behind him: "This is none of your business, don't worry about it."

"Do you really think that I don't know why you came to me?" Bai Lu raised his eyes, the left side of his cheek was red and swollen, but his eyes were filled with mockery, "Is there a problem with the company's operation recently? The capital turnover is not enough, put your mind on the insurance that Feng Yuqing bought me?"

A flustered look flashed across Bai Shu's face, but he quickly found a flaw in his words: "What Feng Yuqing? That's your mother! I can understand that you hate me, but why even she—"

The door behind him opened.

Granny Yue Fen poked her head out, with an unprecedented serious expression on her face: "Bai Shu, I remember we made our words very clear when we met last time."

Seeing Yang Yuefen, Bai Shu's arrogance was visibly lowered: "I am also Xiaolu's father after all, so why not come and see him and care about him?"

"Caring about him?" Yang Yuefen repeated these three words, looking straight into his eyes, "Do you mean caring about him by slapping him? It's thanks to you that you can say these three words."

Bai Shu: "I..."

"Besides, do you really want to come and see him, or do you just want the money that Yuqing left for him?" Yang Yuefen pressed each sentence, "Bai Shu, you can't even lie to Xiaolu, do you still want to lie to me? YouHave you forgotten what I do?"

Bai Shu was shocked by her momentum and took a few steps back.

"The custody issue of Xiaolu, we have already made a clear decision in the court before. If you are dissatisfied, you can go to the judge to make a complaint. Don't make trouble here and pretend to be a dignified person." Yang Yuefen usedHis eyes signaled his surroundings, "Everyone in the neighborhood is watching."

The pregnant woman on the side was already crying: "Mother-in-law, Bai Shu did not do well, but he is also working hard to correct and make up for it. I think you should give him this chance. Besides, I am pregnant now.", he did it for me—”

Yang Yuefen interrupted her: "I'm not interested in your current situation, please go back."

Lan Jin was about to go out when she bumped into Jane Yi who had just come home at the door.

"Where are you going?" Jane Yi asked.

"I heard a quarrel outside, and I want to go out and have a look." Lan Jin's amber cat eyes shone eagerly.

"It's over, let's go back." Jane Yi pushed the big cat's furry back and walked back.

"Eh? Is Granny Yue Fen arguing with someone? I heard her voice was quite loud." Lan Jin asked curiously.

"Bai Lu's father."

The flames of gossip were extinguished in an instant, and Lan Jin let out an embarrassing oh.

Jane Yi felt that his reaction was a bit strange, so she asked, "Ah Jin, do you have something to hide from me?"

"Ah? What's the matter? No." Lan Jin's eyes flicked around in panic, and he let out a guilty haha.

"Huh?" Jane Yi narrowed her eyes and moved closer.

After less than five seconds of stalemate between the two sides, Lan Jin was defeated and bowed his head in surrender: "Well, I do have something to hide from you."

Jane Yi dragged him back to the bedroom, and asked cautiously after sitting down: "What?"

"Do you still remember what I told you last time about Xiaolu's mother being killed in a car accident?"

Jane Yi nodded: "I remember."

"Actually, his mother died to save Bai Shu, that is, Xiaolu's father." The big cat held his chin, "I don't know the specific situation, I just heard the general idea from Yue Fen's mother-in-law..”

"At that time, they were traveling by car on the Nanshan side. You know, the terrain there is more dangerous, and the weather was bad that day, and they were not familiar with the road conditions, so they had an accident on the mountain road. After the car accident, the driverBai Shu on the seat was seriously injured, so he fell into a coma. It was Xiaolu's mother who dragged him to find a nearby resident before he was saved. However, because of this, Xiaolu's mother's injury worsened.The liver ruptured and died."

Jane Yi: "Did Bai Shu fall in love with another woman not long after Xiaolu's mother passed away?"

"It's been about a year."

Jane Yi sighed endlessly: "Although life must continue after death, but it took only a year to get out of this relationship. I have to say that a man's heart is really cruel."

Big Mao Mao agreed deeply: "Yes."

Jane Yi waited for a few seconds, and seeing that Lan Jin didn't respond, she poked his mangosteen claw with her hand: "Why don't you have objections?"

Lan Jin clasped his arms rationally and vigorously: "I'm a cat now, and I'm not the same kind as Bai Shu."

"That's right, Ah Jin is a cute kitty." Jane Yi patted his back amusedly.

Lan Jin meowed a few times in response to the occasion, and climbed up the pole: "The weak little cat needs Yi Yi's protection, meow."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and buried it in Jane Yi's shoulder socket.

"Okay, I'll protect you." Jane Yi gently stroked his head.

Lan Jin still hasn't given up her dream of catching fairy meat. Apart from work these days, she frequently runs to Xiaocuifeng's pond.

Jane Yi also often accompanied them.

On this day, Jane Yi went fishing with Lan Jin for a while, then got up and walked around.

It's not the first time to come to this place, Jane Yi is quite familiar with the surrounding environment, and walks a long way without paying attention.

As we walked, the scenery on the road became strange.

Just when Jane Yi was about to turn back, she suddenly saw the white road not far away.

Bai Lu was resting against a tree with his eyes closed, and the black-eared bunny he bought was grazing on his chest.

The little rabbit who looked sluggish before now looks quite lively.

Jane Yi called Bai Lu's name, but the other party didn't respond.

She was a little worried and simply walked over.

Unexpectedly, before walking a few steps forward, the white road in front of him suddenly disappeared.

The originally green land became withered and yellow, and the sunny sky suddenly darkened, and even a few crows flew past screaming.

The tree on which the white road was leaning had lost all its leaves, and even the species of the tree had changed.

From futuo wood to locust tree.

Jane Yi suddenly thought of the legend about the locust tree beckoning ghosts mentioned by her former classmates, and she couldn't help but feel chills down her spine.

But upon closer inspection, this leafless locust tree is exactly the same as the one in the yard of Yue Fen's mother-in-law's house.It's not that she pays attention everywhere, but the end of a branch of this locust tree is bent into a circle-like arc, which is very special.

But it's summer now, and the tree in front of Granny Yue Fen's house is still very lush, how could it lose all its leaves?

What's even more weird is that a bright red string is tied to that special branch, and a very small thing hangs from the end of the red string.

Jane Yi was far away, so she couldn't see clearly, but she could only see the thing swinging quietly——

2 times.

2 times.

3 times.

Jane Yi swallowed, looked at the disappearing road behind her, and walked forward bravely.

As the distance got closer, she realized that the wagging thing was a black-eared rabbit the size of a little finger.

At first glance, it looks like a miniature version of the rabbit that Bailu bought, but upon closer inspection, there are still differences.

The rabbit that Bai Lu bought newly has red eyes, but this little rabbit has blue eyes.

It had already breathed its last breath, its eyes wide open and it shook quietly without struggling.

Jane Yi stretched out her hand, trying to untie the little rabbit from the red rope.

Unexpectedly, the red rope was loosened suddenly, and the little rabbit fell to the ground without warning.

Jane Yi lowered her head and found that it had turned into a puddle of wet mud.
