Chapter 486 Withered and curled up
Cheng Moxun pushed open the door in front of him.
The gate was a metal fence gate style, with rather beautiful and colorful lacquered carvings on it.
She could feel the bone-piercing coolness, which spread from her fingertips to her heart, making her whole body feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave in an instant.
The world inside the door is a bit dilapidated, it looks like a garden that has been left unattended for a long time, and it happens to be in the depths of winter.
Compared with the luxurious and beautiful gate, it seems a bit abrupt and inappropriate.
She felt a little curious, but unexpectedly calm.
At this time, no one knew who pushed her from behind.
Before she had time to take a closer look at the world inside the door, she fell into it and took a lot of effort to stand firm.
The metal fence gate slammed shut behind him.
Cheng Moxun was stunned for a moment, always feeling that this scene seemed familiar.
As if returning to the old castle in Italy, the same dilapidated and strange corner garden is also so unreasonable.
She walked towards the depths of the garden, and she could faintly hear the sound of children laughing.
With a strange feeling in her heart, she simply followed the source of the sound to find it.
Sure enough, after going around twice, she found a wall covered in large leaves.
These leaves are different from the rest of the garden, they are green and full of life.
She couldn't help but walked forward and raised her hand to stroke one of the leaves.
The leaves seemed to be scorched by fire, quickly withering and curling up.
Startled, she took a step back hastily.
At this time, she heard the sound of children laughing clearly from the other side of the wall.
My heart skipped a beat.
She didn't know where the thought came from, and put her hands back on the layers of green leaves.
The arms are constantly waving, and where the fingers touch, the leaves wither and fall to the ground.
Soon, the green leaves on the wall fell off in large areas, finally revealing a small wooden door in the corner.
The door is so narrow that only one person can barely pass through.
Cheng Moxun looked at the rusty doorknob, and always felt that this style was too abrupt in the garden.
But she didn't continue to think about it, but instead grabbed the doorknob and twisted the door open with difficulty.
Behind the door is a sunny courtyard.
The courtyard is very large, with fountains, and huge multi-storey villas.
On the green space in front of the villa, a large sunshade umbrella was set up, under which were white leisure tables and chairs.
A man with a stern expression sat in it, slightly lifting the newspaper with one hand, and moving the coffee cup to his mouth with the other.
Opposite him was an elegant-looking but shrewd woman.
The woman was wearing a white dress, her arms were pressed on the table, her hands were crossed and her chin was pressed against her, and she was looking at the child running beside her with a smile on her face.
As for the child, Cheng Moxun couldn't help but stepped forward and took a closer look, only to find that the child's appearance was somewhat similar to that of Shan Ze.
Could it be that……
She looked at the two people at the table in surprise, and found that the other party didn't see her appearance at all.
The children held water guns and happily ran around on the grass.
He quickly ran in front of Cheng Moxun, and before she could react in time, he passed straight through her body!
Cheng Moxun opened his mouth wide in surprise.
She knew in her heart that she was dreaming, and her consciousness gradually became clear.
But she couldn't see through this dream.
How could Shan Ze's childhood scenes be seen by him?
Wait, didn't you say twins?Why is there only one child?
"Ma'am." At this time, a maid appeared from nowhere, bowed to the smiling woman, and then whispered something in her ear.
The elegance on the woman's face disappeared for a moment.
She glanced at the running child, then whispered something to the man next to her.
The man seemed very excited, and was scalded by the coffee in the cup, but he held back and didn't spit it out.
He put down the cup and newspaper heavily, then stood up and stared at the child running around with a water gun for a long time.
"What should I do? Ze'er doesn't know how to do those things."
Cheng Moxun heard that the woman raised her head and said this to the man, with a bit of worry in her expression.
"What else can I do? Go, tell Xiao Bo to go downstairs." The man said, the second half of the sentence was to the maid.
The maid bowed, then walked quickly towards the villa.
The man seemed very irritable, he exhaled a few breaths uncomfortably, then turned and walked towards the villa.
Only the worried woman was left, looking at the happy children, wondering what she was thinking.
"Mom, I'll ask my brother to play together, okay?" The child suddenly ran up to the woman and raised his head innocently.
"Ze'er is good, brother has something to do, we won't bother him." The woman's brow deepened without a trace, and then she unfurled: "Just play by yourself."
"What is there to do, brother?" The child blinked his big innocent eyes: "I haven't played with my brother for a long time."
The woman's expression was painful for a few seconds, she smiled wryly and shook her head: "Ze'er, you won't have a chance to play with brother in the future."
The child looked a little anxious, dropped the water gun, and threw himself into the woman's arms: "Mom, don't! I will be very good in the future!"
He tried to be coquettish and said, "Just let my brother be together! Does he hate me?"
It seems that Shan Ze liked his brother quite a lot when he was a child?
Cheng Moxun was a little surprised, she didn't know what happened, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the fate of the two brothers is completely different.
"Ze'er is obedient, play by yourself." The daughter shook her head, with a hint of crying in her tone: "My brother also likes to play with you, but he has important things to do!"
The child looked at his mother's expression and keenly noticed something was wrong.
But in order not to make his mother cry, he could only hold back his inner curiosity.
The sky seems to have become a little cloudy.
Cheng Moxun looked at the children and the woman, then turned and walked towards the villa.
She couldn't explain why she did this, as if someone was instructing her in the dark.
The villa is very large, roughly looking at least three floors.
After entering the gate, what you see is a rather empty hall, which leads to different places from left to right.
It looks a bit similar to the layout of Yuanyuan's house.
Cheng Moxun saw that the man who had just entered the door was standing on the stairs diagonally opposite the door, fiddling with the watch on his wrist anxiously.
From the stairs came the sound of wooden boards being trampled, and the footsteps of people seemed to be a little excited.
The man froze for a moment, then put down his hands and looked upstairs.
A little boy quietly appeared at the stairs with a look of anticipation and anxiety on his face, looking downstairs with some anxiety.
He looked exactly like the kid playing outside.
No, there is still a difference.
This obviously looks a little timid.
Cheng Moxun knew it.
The little boy in front of him is Shan Ze's elder brother.
That is, the white-clothed boy who happened to meet in the elevator.
Why did you see him?
There was a throbbing pain in his head, and Cheng Moxun couldn't help frowning.
"Xiao Bo, come quickly." The man changed his anxious look, and turned to look at the children upstairs with a smile on his face.
The boy named Xiao Bo walked out timidly from the corner of the stairs, his face looked very dazed: "Dad?"
The call was somewhat uncertain.
Cheng Moxun keenly sensed something was wrong, but she couldn't tell.
"Xiao Bo, what movies have you been in the room recently?" the man said with a smile.
The little boy's expression was obviously a little surprised, and then he twisted the corners of his clothes with his hands a little uneasily.
"Don't be afraid." The smile on the man's face widened: "Follow me to meet a guest, okay?"
"I... don't want to." The little boy was not moved by the smile at all, but showed an expression of wanting to escape: "Dad, I have been very good lately."
"If you go to meet the guests with Dad, you will be more obedient." The man continued to smile and said: "Be obedient, come on?"
The little boy seemed so frightened that he didn't even dare to look directly at his father's face.
He bowed his head in silence, his hands were still twisting the corners of his clothes, and his feet moved back slightly.
Why force children to meet guests?
Cheng Moxun couldn't understand at all.
She boldly walked to the stairway and knelt down in front of the little boy.
Seen from such a close distance, the grown-up face is only a little less childish and more stable.
That pure and harmless face hasn't changed since childhood.
And those dark eyes, even though their eyelids were drooping, still couldn't hide the bright spot of light.
Why did those eyes lose their light when they grew up?
"Xiao Bo!" A voice mixed with anger suddenly sounded from above his head.
Cheng Moxun was startled, and at the same time saw the little boy in front of him shaking.
She raised her head in confusion, and was surprised to see that the man who was smiling just now showed an extremely angry look.
As for what...
Cheng Moxun silently complained in his heart.
"Dad, I've been in the room recently and haven't gone anywhere!" The little boy raised his head tearfully, his tone full of grievances: "I'm not ashamed!"
"Hmph, as long as you don't lose face, is that enough?" The man opened his eyes angrily, and stretched out his hand to grab the little boy.
Cheng Moxun was startled, and got up subconsciously to escape.
She wanted to pull the little boy aside at the same time, but her hands passed through the little boy's body, and she couldn't touch it at all.
"Father!" The little boy couldn't help crying out, his voice was mixed with a hoarse voice: "I was wrong! Forgive me!"
"I'll give you 5 minutes. Clean up and go find me in the living room." The man let go of the little boy's collar, left this sentence, turned around and left.
The little boy fell to the ground, watching his father walk away with teary eyes, his face full of grievances.
Cheng Moxun felt distressed, but couldn't go forward to comfort her, so she could only sigh silently in her heart.
Suddenly, the picture in front of me changed.
When Cheng Moxun came to his senses, he saw himself in a sunny room.
She saw the door of the room was pushed open, and the little boy with tears on his face squeezed in through the crack of the door, and then quickly closed the door.
