Trees pass by outside the window.

It's relatively safe near the track, but once the distance is slightly extended, those chaotic trees that grow wantonly will show various twisted postures.

They seemed to have transformed into some kind of creature, with dense branches like a person's limbs, extending continuously in all directions.

This twisted arc is not too big for the time being, at least it is much better than the trees that Lao Hu and the others once fell into the abyss and saw from the mountains.

"As time goes by, the environment in Dazhou will probably get worse and worse."

Jiang You spoke softly.

Lu Yaoyao, who was reading, raised his head and looked out the window.

"If the pollution is not removed, it is indeed irreversible." She said softly.

Squeezing her little face, Jiang You sighed slightly, "Counting the time, we haven't returned to Yunhai for nearly a year."

"Yes." Lu Yaoyao closed the book, pursed his lips, held his chin with both hands, and looked out the window in a daze.

Jiang You sat next to her and rubbed his head, "Time flies so fast."

"Chirp."

The fox nodded in agreement.

It has been almost a year since Mr. Fox was kidnapped.

"Be more honest with me."

Looking at its arrogant look, Jiang You is funny.

Raising his hand to look at it, his brain collapsed, and the fox hit him so hard that he covered his head and cried out in pain.

It quickly ran to Lu Yaoyao's arms for comfort.

The girl was lost in thought and subconsciously reached out her hand to gently rub the top of its head.

Jiang You didn't bother him any further.

He knew what the girl was thinking.

Fear of being close to home.

What's more, her hometown is more like a tomb to her at this moment: the bodies of her relatives are buried, as well as past events.

When in Beidu, you can use other things to divert your attention.

When I come back here now and think about people after seeing things, my thoughts will pour out like a flood from a floodgate.

[We are about to arrive at the station ahead, where the sea of ​​clouds gathers, please passengers...]

A sweet announcement came over the radio, and the two looked at each other.

"We've arrived."

"Pack it up."

After loading the two suitcases with clothes and other scattered items, the train soon slowed down and finally stopped.

Leaving the car door, the fox lingered at the feet of the two of them, looking curiously at the platform.

"Walk."

Holding Yaoyao's little hand, the two quickly left the station.

They got into the car and sat in the back seat side by side.

"Did you two just come back from a trip, or is school on vacation?"

The driver took the initiative to chat.

"I'm back from the school holiday, I guess." Jiang You smiled.

Wearing big sunglasses and a thick mask, the driver did not recognize his true identity.

"I haven't been back this year. The sea of ​​clouds has changed a lot. The streets feel much deserted than before." Jiang You's eyes flickered.

"Isn't it?" The driver spoke with a Yunhai accent, "A year ago, some kind of abyss crack opened, and everyone who could be moved was moved away. The rest of us who couldn't be moved were also trying to figure out how to evacuate.

"

"I don't know when this bad life will end. Tell me, how come there are such things as abyss cracks in the world? It's really funny."

"A big disaster, there's nothing we can do about it." Jiang You shook his head.

"That is to say. There are many space cracks that cannot be closed. Before, no experts said that we must take care of the cracks. There are too many of them, and our world will be more likely to end early."

"Who doesn't know this truth? The key is that no one can control it. No one can control it."

The driver sneered, not sure whether he was laughing at the world or his own life.

As he sighed, the vehicle quickly stopped in front of the community.

Carrying suitcases, the two stood in the building they had been separated from for a long time.

"The familiar smell seems to be the smell of the disinfectant that the cleaning lady often uses when mopping the floor."

"Have you taken out the keys? My house is basically empty. Let's go directly to your house."

While chatting, the elevator door opened, and soon the two of them came to the security door.

Lu Yaoyao inhaled slightly, inserted the key into the lock cylinder, and turned with a click.

Two people appeared in front of the dusty house.

Most of the debris was put away before leaving Yunhai, and the placement of tables and chairs remained unchanged.

It's just that there is a thick layer of dust on the floor, the edge of the bed, and the cabinets.

"Start cleaning?"

Jiang You put his luggage aside and rolled up his sleeves.

"good."

Lu Yaoyao took out a few rags and went to the bathroom to wet them with water.

Holding a wet rag, Jiang You scratched his head.

After thinking about it, he didn't call out Shadow to help him clean things.

"Chirp!"

The fox also got a small rag, stood upright on his hind legs, held the rag in his little paws, and wiped it on the table legs.

"Work hard and I'll give you an extra carrot for dinner."

"Haw!!!"

The fox protested.

"If you perform well, you don't need to take the sixth-grade papers."

"Haw!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fox's eyes shone brightly and he wiped it harder.

Lu Yaoyao came to the wall cabinet. On the horizontally extending wooden platform, there were photo frames one after another.

There are photos with her and her mother, there are also photos of a family of three, and there are also photos alone...

She picked it up and wiped it gently.

"Do you think it would be much better if we put some dust-proof items in the house?"

Jiang You asked.

"The price of forbidden objects is difficult to eliminate. We can't ask the Yunhai Night Watch to activate the forbidden objects every once in a while."

Lu Yaoyao declined politely, "I'll just come back and wipe it every once in a while."

"It's different." Jiang You said, "It has been uninhabited for a long time and has accumulated dust for a long time. The furniture and walls will age very quickly."

Lu Yaoyao made a move.

"Let me think about it."

"good."

Time passed bit by bit, and the two of them cleaned very carefully. In two hours, they finished tidying up the entire house.

"It's still early, are you hungry? Do you want to have dinner? Hey, do you think the barbecue restaurant on the back street of our school has closed down?"

"Jiang You..."

"how?"

"I want to go to the cemetery."

The two looked at each other for two or three seconds before the young man came back to his senses and said, "Okay, let's go."

It was originally agreed that we would just arrive at Yunhai today, rest for a day, and then visit Uncle Lu the next day.

Obviously this girl couldn't wait any longer.
