Zhang Xi smiled, a little silly: "Then do you like me now or before?"

Lin Jin sneered: "Stop talking about me."

Zhang Xi said innocently: "No, I just asked."

Lin Jin wanted to say something more, but suddenly he heard the sound of thud, sound from nowhere, as if someone was hitting the wall with stones, the sound became louder and closer, and then suddenly disappeared.

Zhang Xi frowned and wrapped her arms around Lin Jin's shoulders. When the voice sounded again, Zhang Xi pulled Lin Jin and hid behind a half-protruding stone wall not far away.

Lin Jin was clasped tightly in her arms, feeling his back against Zhang Xi's rising and falling chest, for some reason he felt very relieved, and his nerves relaxed little by little.

"Don't be afraid." Zhang Xi whispered in her ear.Like the most effective spell in the world, let her no longer be afraid of any unknowns and disasters.

An exaggerated and magnified shadow slowly floated on the opposite wall, Lin Jin was all over, and looked back at Zhang Xi.

They forgot the candle in the clearing.

Zhang Xi shook her head to signal her not to panic, her eyes were still locked on the black shadow.

The man seemed to be a little curious, walking step by step with some exploration, and how cautious he was could be seen from his trembling and unsteady shadow.He bent down and picked up the candle on the ground, holding it in both hands, suddenly let out a shrill scream.

Lin Jin was awakened by this cry. Even after many years, she will never forget this voice. How lonely and gentle she used to tell stories in her ears, celadon and white porcelain, elder brother kiln, younger brother kiln, pinch... silk enamel...

Regardless of Zhang Xi's obstruction, Lin Jin desperately broke free from the restraint of her iron-like arms, and rushed out.

"Dad!" she called.

The man saw her and only took a look. The air seemed to be frozen by billions of years of ice. She wanted to move forward, but found that she couldn't move at all. She was trembling like an animal about to die in the cold winter night. I can't make a sound in my throat, and I can only let the confusion and pain of death drown me without bounds.

Lin Muhai turned around and ran away without looking back.

Lin Jin eagerly wanted to chase after him, but Zhang Xi hugged her waist.

"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, Xiao Jin, calm down first!" Zhang Xi comforted her by stroking her back, wrapping her sweaty hands in his own.

Lin Jin's voice choked up: "Why are you stopping me?"

Zhang Xi turned her around to let her look at him, Lin Jin met those gentle and slightly melancholy eyes, and suddenly had the urge to cry.

"Why is my dad here? How could he stay in such a place for so long..."

Zhang Xi raised his hand to wipe away the unshed tears from the corners of her eyes, hugged her tightly, and let her head rest on his shoulder.

"He has his reasons..."

Zhang Xi took her hand and interlocked his fingers, and said: "Let's go find him now, I know where he is, but when we see him later, don't be sad, or I will regret bringing you here..."

Lin Jin nodded, and couldn't help approaching Zhang Xi, allowing her to hold her hand and walk forward, turning around the dark corridors one after another, and passing through the tomb chambers that were all the same size or size.

There was a glimmer of light in front of them, and as they continued to walk forward, that light became clearer and clearer, and even slightly illuminated the path under their feet.

A stone door appeared in front of him.Behind the door, knocking and knocking can be heard faintly.

Zhang Xi walked to the door, followed the voice inside the door like a signal, and knocked on it one after another until the stone door burst open.

There is a hole in the stone gate, like a paradise far away from the world, with stone bridges and streams, painted pavilions and pavilions, and a few peach trees in full bloom, which are not like the world.

Lin Jin was already stunned, she didn't even know how she stepped into this place, roots had grown under her feet, and she couldn't move a single step.

Zhang Xi held her with one hand, pushed half of the side door open with the other, and said, "Come in, he's here."

Lin Jin raised her foot and stepped over the threshold. In such a place, she looked out of place in her modern attire. She didn't know where to put her hands and feet.Her parents' obsession with archaeology has also been passed on to her. Now she can only restrain herself to resist the urge to go and touch those antique things.

Lin Jin looked around, but didn't see anyone else. She asked, "My father...where is he?"

Zhang Xi pointed to the most colorful peach tree not far away, and said, "He's under that tree."

Lin Jin took a few steps forward, and turned around to find Zhang Xi still standing there, "Aren't you going to come with me?"

Zhang Xi smiled, his eyes were very gentle, "Go by yourself, it's okay, I'll watch you here."

Lin Jin felt at ease immediately after receiving Zhang Xi's guarantee, but she still said, "You...you must look at me..."

Zhang Xi nodded, reached out to give her a hug, and said, "Don't be afraid, it's safe here."

Lin Jin let her go and walked forward. From a distance, he saw the quiet and somewhat lonely figure behind the tree. It seemed that he was much thinner than the last time he saw him, but he didn't know how long ago he last saw him.

"Dad..." She walked over and called him softly.

Lin Muhai stood up from behind the tree and looked at him quietly. There were complex emotions in his eyes, some were puzzled, some were sad, and more of them were overflowing with longing.

"Why are you here..." Lin Muhai sighed.

Lin Jin asked suspiciously, "Dad, didn't you ask me to come?"

Lin Muhai looked up at her in surprise, Lin Jin took out the piece of paper from his backpack, the edge of the paper was frayed at some point, Lin Jin gently rubbed the broken place, feeling a little distressed.

Lin Muhai took the piece of paper from her hand, frowned after looking at it for a few moments, and asked Lin Jin eagerly, "Who gave this to you?"

Lin Jin said, "I saw it in the box my mother gave me."

Lin Muhai looked serious, clenched his hands uneasily, and let go after a while.Lin Jin was very familiar with his appearance, and knew that his mental state was not right now.

Lin Jin supported him, wanting him to sit on the stone bench under the tree, but Lin Muhai pushed her away, and said in a very low voice: "Xiao Jin, listen to Dad, go, get out of here !"

Lin Jin tugged on his sleeve and refused to let go, "Why, if we want to leave, we will go together! This place is so abnormal, why did you come here? Uncle An told me that you died, and that he saw it with his own eyes. Come on, what's going on here?"

Lin Muhai showed pain, "Xiaojin, I did this for you and your mother..."

"Mom?" Lin Jin felt that he hadn't heard this word for many years.Even though she often thought about it in her heart, her heart trembled for some reason when she really said it.

Lin Muhai still wanted to push her away, but suddenly found a person walking behind Lin Jin, that person was full of hostility, with a hideous scar running across most of his face.Lin Muhai pulled Lin Jin behind him and asked, "Who are you?"

Lin Jin comforted him and said, "She is Zhang Xi, and she came with me. She has no malicious intentions. Dad, don't be so nervous."

Zhang Xi was a little uncomfortable, she didn't know what expression to use to face Lin Jin's father, even if she smiled it would frighten people, so she simply stood there with a stiff face and said nothing.

Lin Muhai still stubbornly blocked Lin Jin behind him to prevent Zhang Xi from approaching her. Lin Jin was a little helpless but more moved in his heart. This kind of moving came from Lin Muhai's instinct.Lin Jin knew that he had been abnormal since his mother passed away, and she even saw him take some medicine for excessive depression.

When they talked on the phone a few years ago, as long as he didn't mention his mother, he couldn't remember who Lin Jin was.He remembered his lover who was inseparable from each other, but forgot his daughter who was bound by blood.

And now she finds that he still has the instinct to love her and protect her.

Lin Jin obediently followed behind Lin Muhai, and signaled Zhang Xi not to disturb him with his eyes.Zhang Xi walked away and found that Lin Muhai was still staring at her, so he could only go back to the door and watch them from a distance.

Lin Muhai took out two Luoyang shovels from under the stone table and handed them to Lin Jin, while looking back at Zhang Xi.

Lin Jin was at a loss holding the Luoyang shovel. She looked back at Zhang Xi worriedly. Zhang Xi smiled at her and told her not to panic.But this smile turned into a threat in Lin Muhai's eyes. He walked towards Zhang Xi aggressively, raised a peach tree branch standing by the door, and was about to throw it over, but Zhang Xi avoided it quickly. .

Lin Jin hugged Lin Muhai's arm and shouted, "Father, what are you doing?"

Lin Muhai looked back at him with aggrieved eyes, he said: "She wants to peek, she wants to steal your mother away."

Lin Jin took the wooden branch from his hand and comforted him: "She won't, she is my...friend, she won't do anything to us, and she won't try to steal Mommy."

Lin Muhai stood there stubbornly, as if he was going to fight Zhang Xi anytime.

Zhang Xi looked at Lin Jin in embarrassment, and said, "Xiao Jin, I'll watch you outside the door, okay, I won't leave, don't worry."

Lin Jin couldn't tell how much he didn't want her to leave at the moment, but he had to do so right now.

She nodded, Zhang Xi turned and went out, she closed the stone door, but left a narrow gap, Lin Jin noticed her movement, and slowly felt at ease.

Lin Jin turned around and picked up the Luoyang shovel thrown to the ground by Lin Muhai just now, and said, "Dad, what do you want to do? I'll accompany you."

Tears glistened in Lin Muhai's eyes, as if he couldn't help himself, he murmured, "Where is your mother, let's go find her..."
