Chapter 106 Conversation

Tang Xuan clenched his fists lightly. He knew that the main course was on the table.

The old lady continued to narrate: "Snow White's brother had been wandering outside before, otherwise I would have adopted him back. I can see that Snow White's brother loves Snow White very much. He should have been a good child, but..."

The old lady stopped talking here.

She looked at Snow White and sighed.

Tang Xuan asked: "But what?"

The old lady's eyes showed a trace of fear: "The people who disappeared during this period should be related to that child."

The old lady's turbid eyes suddenly had a lot of emotions. She began to rub the armrests of the chair uneasily and looked around in the empty places, with signs of illness.

Little Snow White nervously grasped the old lady's hand.

Tang Xuan made his voice low, and he whispered to comfort: "Don't panic, we are here, he dare not come over."

[Friends of Women] activated!

[Hero Armed] activated!

You have obtained [A Shabby Music Box]!

[A worn-out music box]: There is always a melody that can take you back to the unforgettable years in the past as long as the prelude sounds (Note: It records an improvisation that is worthy of being listed in the hall of fame. Although its author is unknown and has never been successfully performed since then).

Tang Xuan turned the spring of the music box calmly.

A melodious music with a jazz style floated out of the music box. This kind of music was very popular decades ago and was the type preferred by all dance halls at that time.

Tang Xuan couldn't tell how good this music was, but the old lady changed a lot after hearing this music.

The panic and hesitation in her eyes quickly faded, and she showed a bit of surprise, and there was a trace of sweet memories in the surprise.

"Where did you find this song?"

The old lady leaned forward slightly, her expression was very surprised, and she completely forgot the negative emotions just now.

Tang Xuan smiled and said, "I got it by chance."

"It's this song, yes, it's this song." The old lady repeated it over and over again. She looked at the music box in Tang Xuan's hand as if it were a treasure and said, "I spent the rest of my life looking for this song, but I never found it. I thought it would be my eternal regret, but I didn't expect to hear it again when I was halfway through the gates of hell."

Little Bai Xue wiped her tears: "What song is this?"

"This is the song I danced to when he and I first met."

The old lady's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid that she would disturb the music box if she spoke loudly.

"That day was my 17th birthday party. He and I fell in love at first sight. Under the bright moonlight, we danced together to this song. That was the beginning of our love."

The old lady closed her eyes gently, nodded with the ups and downs of the music, and her thoughts went back to a long time ago, and she saw the face she had been thinking about day and night again.

Aliang, it would be great if you were still here.

After the song was played, the old lady was already in tears.

She choked and said, "Thank you."

"Grandma, don't cry."

Xiao Baixue handed over a tissue sensibly.

Tang Xuan walked up and put the music box on the coffee table next to the old lady. He bowed and said, "Since this song has a connection with you, I will give it to you."

The old lady was so moved that she covered her face with her hands.

Tang Xuan waited until she calmed down a little and asked, "Can you tell us more about Xiao Baixue's brother?"

Xiao Baixue silently picked up the music box and twisted it a few times.

The melodious music lingered in the room again.

The old lady wiped her tears with a tissue and said calmly, "After listening to this song, I suddenly felt energetic and could chat with you for a while."

Xiao Baixue and her brother both lost their memories.

They didn't remember who they were before, nor did they remember what they had done. From the moment they had memories, they were already in the First Welfare Home of the Imperial Palace.

This may be the price of their early recovery.

Xiao Baixue's brother was also in the welfare home at first, but because of his ugly appearance, he was always bullied by other children in the welfare home. Later, he left the welfare home alone and was never found by the staff of the welfare home.

The staff of the welfare home thought he was missing, but in fact, he had never been away from Xiao Baixue, but awakened his ability, or to be more precise, recovered a little. He has been in the welfare home, but no one can see him except Xiao Baixue.

The children who bullied him at the beginning "disappeared" one after another, and once became the most important criminal case of the Imperial Palace City Police Department, but because there was no clue, it could only be left unresolved in the end.

Later, the old lady adopted Xiao Baixue, and Xiao Baixue's brother followed Xiao Baixue to the Shen family.

It was a thunderstorm night.

The old lady saw Xiao Baixue's brother for the first time.

He was all black, with only a human outline left, and he came to take Xiao Baixue away.

"We don't belong here."

The old lady remembered that he said so.

His voice was so small that it could hardly reach the old lady's ears through the continuous rain, so the old lady was not sure whether what she heard was the original words of Little Snow White.

Behind him stood many puppet-like figures.

These figures were half black and half white, and most of them were very short, just like the missing children. Their faces were flat, without facial features and expression. They stood quietly like puppets in the dark night, standing in the cold rain, letting the rain flow down their bodies, exuding silent terror.

The old lady screamed in fright.

"Come with me, sister."

Xiao Baixue's brother only has Xiao Baixue in his eyes.

The old lady shouted for help in her loudest voice, but no one could hear her.

"Is it because of her that you don't want to?"

Xiao Baixue's brother looked at the old lady for the first time.

The old lady was as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She could not see his face clearly, but she could feel a pair of indifferent eyes staring at her. There was no light in those eyes, as if the cold judgment of depriving her of her life would be made in the next moment.

Xiao Baixue stood in front of the old lady: "No!"

The old lady felt the gaze leave her.

She could breathe again.

"We don't belong here."

Xiao Baixue's brother repeated.

Xiao Baixue said persistently: "I don't want you to worry about it!"

"I'm your brother."

Only then did the old lady know that Xiao Baixue had an older brother.

"I have my own life."

Xiao Baixue yelled angrily. She was not afraid of her brother at all. She pointed at her brother's face and said one word at a time: "I don't want to see you again, stay away from me!"

"I will protect you silently."

Her brother stepped back.

Finally disappeared in the rain, never to be seen again.

After experiencing this incident, the old lady's worldview was somewhat shaken. She didn't tell anyone else about it because she felt that whoever she told would be in danger. Moreover, she is already old and has only a few years to live, so she doesn’t want to or has the energy to take care of such things.
