Chapter 84? Patents that are all the rage(1/3)
A "magic button" from childhood no longer has practical significance when it grows up.
However, because of the nineteen years of separation, Lou Shang regarded an ordinary heart-shaped button as a treasure.
In addition, the one that disappeared from the fifth summer hand also had a completely different meaning.
Lou Shang and Lou Xia returned to Brenschweig Castle for a button that disappeared eighteen years ago.
This is where Lou Xia lived before she was thirteen years old.
Not unfamiliar.
Not familiar with it.
It's not considered a relationship.
Every time before this, when the fifth summer returned to the castle, he was either cold or heartbroken.
Only this time, she felt a fire burning in her heart.
Warm.
Hot.
Fill the entire atrium and illuminate the darkness of childhood.
The haze is no longer there and the dark clouds are not coming.
Niu Niu has doll buttons hanging around her neck.
The crybaby who has disappeared for a long time comes in the world of slugs.
The originally gloomy and terrifying castle has become an existence that carries memories because of the arrival of my brother.
Lou Xia took Lou Shang to visit the room she lived in when she was a child.
Lou Xia’s room is on the fourth floor of the castle.
It was a loft with a slanted roof, which was the room with the most sunshine in the entire castle.
No matter how much sunlight is, it cannot dispel the darkness of the room itself.
The furniture inside is old and huge.
This is not a room for children at all.
Even the bed was high and I never thought about how one child would get up and down.
Either you can't climb up or you can sleep until you fall down.
For a whole year, Lou Xia slept directly under the bed.
In a narrow and narrow space, Lou Xia listened to her breathing and prayed that the sun on the next day could take away the darkness of the night.
The first thing Lou Xia did when she returned to her childhood room was to ignore the dust all over the ground and go directly to the bed where she prayed that it was dawn when she was a child to look for traces of buttons.
One thing she cared about very much but didn't exist in her memory at all. It is likely that it was in a certain corner that year she prayed under the bed.
"The ground is dirty, get up first, brother, help Niu Niu look for it." Lou Shang didn't know the "original relationship" between Lou Xia and the bed. Just watching Lou Xia go in and look for it like this, it felt so distressing.
In the bottom of the bed in the fifth summer, in addition to the dirty, there are also spider webs that can be seen everywhere that spread out to the bed.
Because Lou Shang was unable to hold Lou Xia, he was full of self-blame and fell to the ground, preparing to replace Lou Xia.
The "spider bed" is tall and thick, but the bottom of the bed is not as low as it can be.
The fifth summer at the age of four can be freely in and out, while the fifth summer at the age of adult can only move in little by little.
Although Lou Shang looks thin, the skeleton of a boy is incomparable to that of a girl.
Lou Shang wanted to pull Lou Xia out and couldn't pull it, but he wanted to go in but couldn't.
In the end, I could only take out my cell phone, turn on the flashlight, and help Lou Xia shine so that Lou Xia could see more clearly.
Lou Xia searched under the bed for a while and confirmed that there were no traces of red buttons in every corner. He finally slowly retreated.
Lou Xia came out from under the bed, her clothes were black, her face was black, and her hands were black.
Lou Shang has not been lying on the ground for as long as Lou Xiachang, but his image is not much better.
The clothes Lou Xia wore today were dark, but Lou Shang wore a white pleated top that was formed in Miyako.
What is extraordinary and what is not worldly, at this time, has become the main humorous hotpot base.
Compared to the heavierness of the clothes, what is even heavier is Lou Shang's heart.
When my sister was young, she actually lived alone in such a room.
Her sister was born timid.
Not only are they afraid of darkness, pain, height, rats, cockroaches, and all things that have a sense of age, but they also have a wild imagination.
In Lou Xia's eyes before she was separated, all toys were alive, and so was furniture.
As long as you see something that feels like a time, Lou Xia will imagine that one has a bit of horror, and then be scared by his own imagination and dare not sleep.
Lou Shang gently patted the dust off Lou Xia.
As he patted, Lou Shang felt a little more guilty.
How can Lou Xia, who is afraid of everything, grow up in a room full of age?
He had already passed the age of a boy who was crying, but after being called by Lou Xia for a day, he returned to the sentimental period.
Lou Shang tried hard to control his emotions, and did not want tears to break the dam at this time. He did not become a crying man, but it was no longer than Lou Xia's time to be a slug.
Perhaps because he discovered Lou Shang’s strangeness, Lou Xia opened his mouth to divert Lou Shang’s attention: “Brother, big cat.”
After saying that, he used his dirty hands to grab Lou Shang's face twice.
He took a step to the left and the right, and helped Lou Shang put on a cat makeup very symmetrically.
Wu Xia looked as playful as she was when she was a child, and successfully distracted Lou Shang's attention.
After a moment of wandering, Lou Shang gave his own response: "Sister, little cat."
Lou Shang gently scraped the bridge of Di Wuxia's beautiful nose, scraping off the dust on the tip of his nose, as a "revenge" against Lou Xia turning him into a calico cat.
Lou Xia didn't care. She had grown up in an ancient castle covered with dust. The illusion of acting cute girl was the most ineligible habit of the fifth Xia.
Wu Xia spread her hands, her tone full of regret: "Not found."
She just searched all the "four seas and wilderness" in the underbed world, but no trace of heart-shaped buttons was found anywhere.
"Forget it if you can't find it. Niu Niu now has the protection of a magic necklace. The magic bracelet completed its historical mission of protecting Niu Niu eighteen years ago." Lou Shang didn't want Lou Xia to continue looking for it like this.
Even if it was just dirty, Lou Shang couldn't stand it.
Lou Xia is a girl, and she should be a delicate little princess like literature and art. How can she crawl forward in the thick dust?
But, but, but.
It’s all because I’ve come here, I just give up like this, it’s not the character of the fifth summer.
Wu Xia thought about it seriously. In addition to her own accidental throwing away the "magic bracelet", it was also possible that she was put away when she was hospitalized.
If the bracelet was not returned to her, it would be very likely that it was given to her legal guardian at that time, Yeronimis.
Yeronimis may not use a button bracelet as a treasure, but he does not necessarily throw it away.
Wuxia decided to look for a room she had never been in before.
Lou Xia pulled Lou Shang back to the first floor of the castle, where Jeronimis's room was located.
Yeronimis was the last heir of the Brenschweig family, but his room was in the castle, and the conditions were relatively poor.
The lighting is bad, the floor is bad, and the size is not good.
Compared with the rooms upstairs, this place is simple and simple like a place where a servant lives.
In fact, this room was indeed the housekeeper's residence hundreds of years ago when the castle was first built.
It is closest to the gate, making it most convenient to go out and open the door for the host and guests.
The reason why Jeronimis checks in this room is because it is the most convenient to enter and exit here.
The hundreds of years old castles do not have modern facilities like elevators that are friendly to the disabled.
Apart from this housekeeper's room, there is no possibility of Jeronimis going to go up to any room in the castle.
Because Yeronimis had been "guarding" the gate for a long time, when Lou Xia was young, he climbed the window to enter and exit the castle even when he went to school.
Wu Xia was afraid of the withered and weird-looking Yeronimis.
Not to mention entering Jeronimis's room, even if you just pass by, you will have to take a detour.
Times have changed, but with an older brother around you, everything becomes completely different.
Wu Xia walked into a room without any fear, a room she had never explored and had no interest in exploring.
Because this room was originally prepared for the butler, the furnishings inside are much simpler than those in the fifth summer bedroom.
No complex decoration.
A table, a bed.
