Chapter 655

The snow stopped in the middle of the night after new year's Eve, and the mulberry garden on New Year's Day was covered with silver and plain. Several sparrows flew and landed in the snow, put their heads into the snow to look for food, retracted their necks like afraid of the cold, shook the snow particles on their heads and chirped.

Aoki and lifelong flower walk side by side in the garden. The sun and Xi are warm on people.

Standing on the Jiuqu bridge in the middle of the lake, the lifelong flower pointed to the willow not far away and said, "this tree has grown less than a year, and the willows in three or five years generally can't grow so big."

The green wood stepped over, came under the tree, reached out and gently fiddled with the falling willows, and the snow hung on it fell down. He broke off a piece and brushed away the remaining snow particles. He found that there were green leaf buds, which were very similar to the one he took to ramra.

"It has actually grown for five years." Aoki gently pinned the wicker in his hand to the pocket of his lifelong flower down jacket. "It has always grown in my arms and never withered."

Although she didn't understand it very well, she didn't ask much. Her understanding of "arms" is "heart", which is enough.

"Have you gone far?"

"Yes, far away."

Aoki looked up at the sky. The sky was blue and clear, deep and secluded. It was hard to imagine that there was a magical space called ramra in a distant place, which was inextricably connected with the earth.

After leaving under the willow and returning to the Jiuqu bridge, he spent his whole life hesitating for a long time and asked, "Su... Has Professor Su come back?"

Aoki's body vibrated imperceptibly, shook his head and said, "not yet."

What happened to ramra came back to him. I don't know whether situ started the stone altar, whether anyone else found the ice altar, or found the way home

He knew that he had a mission on his shoulders, and the mission had not been completed. Those who are as confused as him are still worried about the fate of mankind in the distant outer space.

"Then... Do you want to go?" the lifelong flower asked casually.

Aoki was silent.

Lifelong flower felt the subtle changes in his body and inner struggle, and said, "you don't have to think about me... Anyway, I will always be here. If you want to go, you can go. Business matters."

Aoki thought for a moment and said, "I'll probably go again, but before I go, I have to find out some things before I can decide what to do there. Fortunately, the time on both sides is different, and there's always time..." he thought of his different experiences with his whole life, and his heart was filled with emotion.

I didn't understand the difference of time all my life. I just said, "be careful. I'll prepare what you need."

"I'll go to a few places to have a look." Aoki thought of the five holy places analyzed by situ, knocked on his head and said, "my memory seems to have recovered a little. Many previous pictures flash around, but they are very chaotic. I want to go to those places for a walk, maybe I can connect my past."

Lifelong flower said, "this is a good thing. When will you start?"

Aoki said with a smile, "don't worry. I said I'll accompany you these days. It doesn't matter if the sky falls. You don't have to prepare anything. Just stay with me and take care of the mouth of the coal boss."

Speaking of crows, they suddenly laughed together. Last night, the bird ate most of its pickled elbows and stuffed its belly like a ball, saying it wanted to make up for the hard work and poverty of these days. He drank too much wine and talked a lot of nonsense. He is still sleeping on the sofa.

They crossed the curved bridge with a smile and came to the front garden of the mulberry garden. The branches of the mulberry tree were covered with snow, and a straw mat was around their waist. They tied it together yesterday.

Standing under the mulberry tree, Qingmu thought of Liuying Lane in the past. Although last night, lifeflower had told him what had happened in recent years and the change of Liuying lane, he still couldn't connect what he saw with the past Liuying lane.

"Is this really the old willow tree in the past?" he asked.

The lifelong flower said, "yes, it was fine last year. After the new willow grew by the lake this year, it began to peel off its branches as if it was suddenly old, and then it became a mulberry. Probably the original mulberry root didn't die, and it lived in the willow core all the time when it was grafted."

He pointed to a straight road between the mulberry trees in front and said, "this is the old street."

In front of Aoki's eyes, the original street appeared again. There were large and small shops on both sides, and many open-air stalls near the street. It was very lively at dusk.

He took a cigarette out of his pocket, put one in his mouth, took out a match and struck it skillfully. The flame stopped in front of the cigarette and would not burn, but he did not move.

He remembered that if he hadn't smoked in five years according to the days of the earth, even according to his actual time in ramra, the desperate time in the static zone of time and space had already dissipated his addiction to smoking.

Lighting a cigarette is a subconscious action, but I don't really want to smoke in my heart. At this time, he found that he used to smoke a lot to light a fire, as if the flame was very close to him.

The beating light of the match made him a little trance.

He saw that the mulberry trees in front of him suddenly became lush and strong, and the thick branches and leaves covered the sky tightly. The branches are covered with green, red and purple full mulberry fruits, and some red wild silkworm are lying on the mulberry leaves.

He saw himself standing in high spirits in old-fashioned youth clothes and a long scarf. The lifelong flower next to him put on a cheongsam, shawl and color scarf. She was a tender daughter. Only her short hair still showed some spirit.

He saw the photographer hiding in the thick blackout Bree, banging, smoke rising from the top of the camera, and the flash flashed dazzling light.

Then the flame of the match became violent, and the flames surrounded him. He saw the flames of war flying ahead, shells and bullets roaring across the Huangpu River. Behind him was a burning manor, with houses and trees burning in the fire.

Many figures flashed in the flame, including kind elders, ignorant children, bloody men, crying women, broken leg soldiers, arrogant enemies

The match burned until his fingers. His hand shook. The match fell to the ground and went out with a bare sound, melting a small pit in the snow. A cloud of smoke rose and soon dissipated in the cold air.

After the fire was extinguished, a remnant of rubble and only a willow tree appeared in the barren old garden, highlighting the once scenery here.

The fragments of memory were interrupted and turned into countless fragments.

Aoki put the cigarette away, put it back in his pocket, and walked along the old street of Liuying lane that lifelong flower pointed to. Spend your whole life quietly with me. When aomu stops occasionally, I talk about the scene here. This is Lao Li's supermarket, boss Wu's noodle shop, and uncle Qian's home for raising starlings

Aoki suddenly stood still, pointed to the empty ground in front and said, "is this the old supply and marketing cooperative?"

Lifelong flower said, "yes, the old vegetable market is below, and the Internet cafe is opposite. Liu madman jumped down from the upstairs of the old supply and marketing cooperative."

Aoki seemed to see the madman Liu Huaian standing on the roof scattering leaflets. In the flying paper, he jumped hard, fell to the ground with a bang, and fell at his feet. Suddenly, he grabbed his ankle, raised his head, opened his bloody mouth and said:

"Children... All right..."

Aoki nodded and said, "all the money has been remitted. It's good for them to have their lives. Just go at ease."

Liu Huai'an loosened his hand, turned the back of his hand and grinned, "I know you... You're over there..."

Aoki was surprised. In a trance, he saw a mysterious and heavily guarded metal gate with a sign on it:
