Alice walked all the way and felt unbearably thirsty. She picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. The cold liquid flowed down her throat and into her stomach. The ice line made her shiver in comfort and she exhaled a thick breath.

The bartender poured her a second cup, and the middle-aged man said, "The second cup is charged."

Alice took out a few coins from the small bag she carried with her and picked up the wine glass again. This time, she did not drink it in a hurry.

“It’s nice here.”

She looked back and saw that the bar was empty and deserted. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that it had just opened for business. In short, there were only the two of them now.

Alice looked away and out of the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of the colorful drinks on the wine rack. There were so many varieties that she couldn't tell them apart.

"Miss, I heard that you are looking for someone?"

It was the bartender who spoke first. Alice was slightly surprised at first, but considering that she had been looking for someone these past few days, it was not too difficult to understand that the bartender knew the news.

She leaned over the bar, holding the transparent wine glass between her fingers, and nodded: "I am indeed looking for someone, but I haven't found him yet."

Miss Feiling picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The liquid was not as cold as before, but warm and had a great taste. The aroma left on her lips and teeth made her very intoxicated.

"Your bartending technique is very unique. Did you learn it in Mobile City?"

"I went to Letania when I was twenty-one, and bartending was my job."

Alice took out a note: "Get yourself a drink, and order lunch."

"Your will."

The bartender took the money and didn't know how he arranged it. Soon, a Victorian country-style lunch was delivered to Alice.

At this time, the bartender poured Alice a third glass. Different from the first two times, he poured a glass of warm water.

"Do you have any news about the fourth child here?"

Alice gently poked a piece of steak with a fork, spread the sauce on the surface of the steaming meat, and waited until it cooled down slightly before eating.

The bartender sipped his drink, his eyes were lowered, the corners of his wrinkled eyes trembled a few times, he took a deep breath and said: "I don't know what the fourth child is. Miss, please don't worry. If you mean the fourth child and the fourth child,

If the gentleman I know is the same person, I will call him Mr. Four."

Just as the tip of the fork pierced the meat, Alice stopped, blinked, and asked in confusion: "Mr. Four?"

"Yes, Mr. Fourth, I would like to state in advance that I have never met Mr. Fourth, because he passed away before I was born, at least fifty years ago."

"Then how did you know..."

The corners of the bartender's mouth turned up slightly, and the wine glass was placed in front of him. The memory made his eyes darken. It was a very long memory.

"Mr. Fourth lived at No. 4 Oia during his lifetime. He had a female companion and a housekeeper. I only know that the female companion's name was Miss Yu, and the housekeeper's name was Ector Henry. By the time I can remember, Mr. Four and

Miss Yu has passed away, and only old Henry is still alive. Later, I left Pingpan and went to Letania to make a living. When I came back eight years later, old Henry also passed away, and Oia IV disappeared due to demolition.

But there are not many people left who remember them."

The bartender paused when he said this, and his expression softened: "If what you are looking for, Miss, is Mr. Fourth, I think there is no chance, and I don't know if Mr. Fourth has any descendants."

Alice's eyes were dull. She was prepared for the client to be no longer alive, but she didn't expect that it was half a century ago. What should she do with her entrustment?

"Sir, are all these things you know based on hearsay?"

The bartender nodded and said: "Some of them were told by the old people at that time, and some were drunken words said by old Henry when he was drunk. He said that he had to wait until the two masters came back, but how could a dead person be resurrected? I also heard later that,

He didn't wait until he died, how could he wait, alas."

…

…

"I don't know where this is, but I have an intuition that it might be not far away."

Zhou Jinru was driving the Black Rose, with Xu Yu behind him. They were driving under the shade of a tree on a mountain near Pingpan.

The Black Rose is a motorcycle with extremely excellent performance. It is not only strong and not easily damaged, but also maintains an adaptive shield. Driving a motorcycle up a mountain was originally an unimaginable thing, but now it has become a reality.

Zhou Jinru thought she was crazy before agreeing to Xu Yu's request. She wandered around the city at first, and then came up with the idea of ​​going up the mountain.

As a scenic spot near Pingpan, there are some public facilities on this mountain, and there is also a road paved with stone bricks, but this road is not too long, and it is not paved halfway up the mountain.

Zhou Jinru looked away. In front of him were lush trees and unnamed bushes. Occasionally, some small animals could be seen, but they were all driven away by his emotional perception.

"Ah Guang, thank you for helping me. If I were alone, it would be difficult for me to walk such a long mountain road. You must think I am a crazy person, right?"

"Then I am the other one, and the two of us make a perfect match."

Zhou Jinru smiled. Xu Yu's state looked very strange. Unlike what he had guessed before, she was not trapped in a dream.

Xu Yu's voice was hazy, like murmuring in sleep: "Aguang, I seem to remember some words and a place. If you drive a little further, you will almost reach your destination."

Black Rose's tires ran over a few broken branches, passed through the dense woods, and broke out of a road. Gradually, the vision suddenly opened up, abundant water vapor rushed towards the face, and rushing water flowed from the cliff ahead.

Falling down, a waterfall is formed which is not big but very impressive.

This is not the point, because there are three tombstones standing in the open space in front of the waterfall. Two tombstones are next to each other. The other tombstone is more than ten meters away. A middle-aged man with gray hair is staring at the incoming tombstone warily.

Uninvited guest here.

"who are you?!"

"Relax, we are not bad people."

Zhou Jinru parked the car and took Xu Yu to the middle-aged man.

Xu Yu said softly: "Sir, do you know where this is?"

The middle-aged man's eyes were wary, he took two steps back and said in a deep voice: "Why are you asking these questions?!"

In the wilderness, deep in the dense forest, two young men and women suddenly appear, everyone must be vigilant.

"I only vaguely remember this place, but..." Xu Yu's eyes passed over the three tombstones, "I don't remember these tombstones. May I ask who they belong to?"
