"You're finally awake!"

As soon as I came to my senses, a sweet voice came to my ears with ecstatic emotional colors. I shook my head vigorously and opened my eyes.

The sunlight outside the window was very dazzling, and in the hazy white light, I saw Huang Shiya looking at herself anxiously in the face. I struggled to put a little smile on my face and asked softly, "What's wrong with me?" ”

"You don't remember?" Shiya's face was full of surprise, she touched my head with her hand, and then looked at me carefully for a while, and only after making sure that there was no problem did she say: "You have been in a coma for two days, and the three of us went to the ruins of the church to clean up the puppet attached to Haruka's body the night before. Jame and I had a hard time moving you back. Seriously, you're heavy. ”

"I'm sorry about that." I sat up from bed with a wry smile, my lost memories slowly recovering. Finally I remembered everything, and I remembered the very real and strange dream I had last night after I passed out. In the dream, the rude and unlovely Huang Shiya actually became so gentle, and she also confessed to herself positively.

I turned my head sideways to look at Huang Shiya, who was sitting next to me, and couldn't help but be stunned. Shiya, soaked in the early morning sun, has a beautiful face that does not eat the fireworks of the world, her long black soft hair shines in the sun, her big black and white eyes, and her long eyelashes tremble slightly.

Under my wanton gaze, Shiya's face flushed slightly, and she said angrily, "What are you looking at? Do people's faces get dirty? ”

Alas, it seems that yesterday's dream was really just a strange dream. But as the saying goes, it doesn't mean that you think during the day and dream at night. Do you subconsciously like her?

No way! How could I possibly like this little girl who only has a face and no connotation?

I shook my head vigorously, trying to shake the boring thought away.

However, this time it really is over.

According to Shiya, Haruka was forced to strip her possession by us, and although her mind was only slightly affected, she had lost almost all of her memories in the last few weeks. So Uncle and Aunt Haruka took her to New York to visit a well-known brain doctor, hoping to help Haruka's condition.

It seems that for a while, I can't know from the mouth of Haruka's little Nizi why she had something to do with that puppet!

In the afternoon, when I was bored, I put the fast food I bought upside down on my back and walked slowly to the park with Huang Shiya. For some reason, I suddenly felt tired. I walked into the lawn in three steps and sat on the grass.

"It's Tuesday, and I've been in the U.S. for more than 10 days." I was cranky as I chewed on my burger.

Shiya thought for a moment and said, "If you count from the day we first met, it has been fifteen days and six hours. In other words, we have known each other for nine hundred and six hours. That's 54,360 minutes! ”

"How can you know so well?" I was amazed. Shiya smiled: "Of course, how can you not remember." The day I saw you for the first time, I think I'll never forget the tough expression on my face. You were so handsome then! ”

"Will it?" My cheeky face, which has always been very thick, couldn't help but turn red, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Have you noticed that the park seems to be particularly quiet today?" ”

"Isn't that what you usually do? Shiya asked rhetorically unconcernedly. I shook my head and looked around. This is a very remote corner of the park, and the towering trees almost cover the sky, and the branches are so dense that even the light can hardly penetrate it.

I've often heard Jame say that there is a big forest behind this park. It is nearly 100 square kilometers in diameter, and at the western end of the forest is an Indian village that has long been uninhabited. It is now part of Portland National Park. Haruka's little girl had already sworn that she would drive me to ride an Indian horse, and when that guy came back from his illness, she would definitely want her to honor it.

I yawned a lot, looked up slightly, and couldn't stop looking at the scenery around me. Not far from him, there is a large pit of more than 500 square meters, and the vegetation in the pit is very lush, which makes it very easy to see the true face of this strange land - a huge oval, like a crater.

It's strange that I'm a regular visitor to this park, why haven't I seen this conspicuous landmark before? I got up in confusion, pulled Huang Shiya and slowly walked to the center of the round pit, and then sat down on a group of stone tables and chairs for picnics not far away.

There's really nothing strange about it. Through the cracks in the trees, I could faintly see children playing in the distance. The wind slowly stirs the leaves, making a slight rustling sound. Everything was so natural and very calm and harmonious. Maybe it's because of the puppet incident that I became too suspicious!

After eating, I was about to lie down comfortably on the grass when suddenly a heavy sound of trampling the grass came from a distance. I was startled, and my eyes stared in the direction where the voice was coming from without blinking.

I don't know how long it took, but I saw a few animals slowly walking out of the woods on the north side. It's a deer, three deer! They came here in a dark red color, and even when they saw me lying on the ground with a surprised face, I didn't care at all, I just raised my head proudly, spewed some exhaust fumes at me with my nose as a greeting, and then went on their way without turning a blind eye. In a short time, they passed through the empty space of a few hundred meters and entered the forest at the other end.

"The animals in America are so happy, and no one bothers with their lives. Those sika deer must be very carefree. It's so dragged! I pulled a stick of grass and put it in my mouth and bit it, while being bored and sentimental.

"Actually, aren't people also very happy?" Shiya said softly.

"People? Hey, people are pitiful. Everyone has their own thoughts, and as long as they live, they will never be easy. What is even worse is that people struggle with the struggle between oppression and being oppressed every day, and they do not know how to reflect at all. It is also bound by feelings from all sides. I'm afraid that some people have never been truly happy from birth to death! I sighed.

"How can people be so miserable? Xiaoye, you're too extreme! Shiya shook her head in disbelief.

I laughed, "Do you know why the first thing a baby does when they are born is crying? ”

"Isn't it because they want to cry?"

"Of course not." I looked up into her bright, deep, hazy eyes and said, "Because even babies know they have been born in the wrong place." God reincarnated creatures as human beings, not as a reward, but as a punishment. The people of this weary world, the rich and the rich, are suffering, and the hungry and poor are suffering. No one is happy at all. ”

"I don't believe it. I think as long as there is a person I like, marry him and have children, and then I can be with him forever and forever, it is happiness. ”

"Superficial, can you really be happy in this way?" I scoffed at her words. Shiya looked at me quietly, then nodded vigorously.

I smiled wryly, threw the Coke in my hand to her and said, "Let's go." Then he walked straight to the east of the park.

There are not as many people there as you think, and most of them are children. They are playing in a free amusement park. There were still a few people happily playing baseball on the grass. One of the great features of the United States is the free park, which has no doors and no walls, but only a sign nailed to a few places with the word park written on it. There are many such parks in the United States, and there are more than 100 in Seattle alone.

It's still hot, and it hasn't rained a drop in ten days or more. The automatic sprinkler in front of it turned on, and the water sprayed out formed a rainbow in the air.

Suddenly, I froze. The whole body stiffened with startle. The stiffness and the shock of it kept hitting the brain.

Not far away, a girl nodded quietly to me in the sunset. She still loves to smile as she did so many years ago, and that smile has intoxicated me for a long time. I was amazed, only because I never imagined that I would see her again in this life at this time and place.

"What? Do you know her? Huang Shiya asked in surprise.

"It's Sister Xiaojie!" My voice was shaking.

"How is that possible!" Shiya cried out in surprise: "Your little sister has been killed by a puppet." And she doesn't look like it at all. ”

I ignored her, just gasped for breath and walked over with a dull look on my face.

"My friend used to tell me about him being with a girl. They love to play a game of paper, scissors, rock, paper. Whoever loses has to carry someone else. I walked to the place where I almost touched the girl's snort, tried to suppress my tone, and said to her lightly, "But the boy has always been on his back, and he is out of breath when he is tired." And the girl always clapped her hands on his back and shouted cheers. ”

The girl looked at me intently, like many young girls in her memories, and she smiled sweetly: "Yes, this is what happened to the girl when she was very young, but now she thinks it is very sweet when she recalls it." ”

"Hmph, but do you know the end of that story? The little girl was gone suddenly. It had been four years since he left, and he had not written a letter to the boy or made a single phone call. She couldn't imagine how worried he was. His heart was almost broken! I got excited and punched the pine tree in front of me. The tree shook as it was beaten.

The girl's laughter stopped at that moment, and she froze her grief on her face: "Maybe that girl didn't have the courage to call and write letters, let alone face him...... Do you think that girl is not in pain? She often cried for no reason, begging her mother to let her go back, even if she lived alone in China! ”

The girl's big beautiful eyes finally shed tears, and the teardrops shone in the sun. I was stunned again, and the dullness on my face turned into joy: "Sister Xiaojie! You really are Sister Xiaojie! You're not dead? ”

"That's not right! Sister Xiaojie is dead, and that person is a fake. Huang Shiya grabbed my arm.

"No, she's real. Otherwise she wouldn't know this line! I looked at Sister Xiaojie who was close at hand with fiery eyes, as if she would disappear forever in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Jie looked at me gently, her bright eyes revealing concern: "Shiya is right, I did die because of the curse of that puppet." But I don't know why, after you sealed the puppet's ghost, I stood here inexplicably, like the heavens were going to make me wait for something. It wasn't until I saw Xiao Ye that I realized that God had asked me to wait for Xiao Ye. ”

She gently took my hand and smiled, "Xiaoye, let's go home." ”

"Saya! Don't go with her! Huang Shiya anxiously pulled the corner of my clothes: "Do you really believe the words of this woman of unknown origin?" ”

"I believe it." I nodded without hesitation, turned to Shiya and said, "It's all over." That puppet has been sealed away by us, and no one in this town will die of the curse. And the most important thing is that Sister Xiaojie is back. I'm sure Uncle Haruka, Aunt Haruka, and Haruka's little girl will be surprised when they return home. ”

I took a deep breath: "I wish they were coming back soon, and then I could see the family's jaws dropping in surprise!" ”

"Xiaoye, I'm ...... Could it be ......" Huang Shiya bit her lip as if she wanted to say something, and finally just lowered her head lightly and let go of the hand that was holding me tightly.
