Chapter 748: Unpredictable
At the end of February, the night temperature in Berlin was still quite cold, but the Philimas was brought into the aerobic cabin of the flight, where the temperature was around 25 degrees Celsius, which was as warm as late spring.
The flight attendants all heard that it was the dog that won the best actor at the Berlin Film Festival and took good care of it.
Looking at the tall white stewardess's long legs dangling in front of the dog cage, it had a whim, thinking that if it was possible, Zhang Zi'an would definitely be willing to switch places with it......
After the flight took off, the hustle and bustle around faded away, and the aerobic chamber was warm and quiet, except for the low hum of the ventilation fan.
Pemmas is still in high spirits and has not yet calmed down from the ecstasy of winning the award.
Although the night was still long, it thought that it could not sleep, and only planned to lie down and rest for a while......
Almost instantly, it fell asleep.
......
"Brother Fei, Brother Fei, wake up, the convoy is about to leave. ”
Pegasus shook his ears and opened his eyes.
The sky was a little cloudy, and the temperature around it was almost exactly the same as in the aerobic chamber, and it was the best late spring of the year.
Lao Cha stood in front of it with a smile, "Brother Fei, you have sensitive ears and eyes, usually you are the first to wake up when there is movement in the convoy, why are you so sleepy today?"
Pemmas yawned, "It feels like I've just fallen asleep." ”
Lao Cha said with a smile: "Brother Fei is talking in his dreams again, last night Brother Fei fell asleep as soon as he lay down, and he has been asleep for at least five hours, why did he just fall asleep?"
Pegasus looked around, and the village not far away was filled with smoke, and the roosters and dogs barked in the distance.
Silent men carried their burdens and hoes to work in the fields, and began to work hard for thousands of years.
The chattering peasant women walked to the river in groups, some carrying wooden basins upstream to wash clothes, some carrying toilets downstream to pour feces and urine, their voices high and sharp, excitedly guessing the appearance of the bride, and from time to time a few meat jokes that made the eldest girl blush and heartbeat.
The Wu family's convoy spent the night in this village last night and will continue to set off today.
The world is not very peaceful, the convoy sets off after dawn every day, does not wait for the sky to completely get dark to look for village and town accommodation, along the way try to take the avenue and the official road, when encountering water, cross, every mountain is around, try to avoid the mountains and dense forests, the route is tortuous and winding.
There are a lot of delicate female dependents in the brigade, who walk a little more every day and complain of back and leg pain, and the vehicles full of dowries sometimes get stuck in the mud, sometimes stuck in the cracks of the stones, and people pull the horses to get out of trouble, and the trip is much behind the expected.
The day of arriving in Binhai Town was far away, and seeing that it might miss the auspicious day if it dragged on any longer, Wu Mancheng was so anxious that his mouth was full of blisters, and he urged the team to get up and wash up before dawn and prepare to leave.
Far away, Pemmas could hear his loud shouting.
Since the departure from Foshan, the three of them have been following the convoy from afar, and Wu Ning wanted to invite them to accompany him in his carriage, but Wu Mancheng did not agree.
This is not that he is ungrateful, the name of the chivalrous cat and the righteous dog is widely spread in Foshan, but the in-laws do not know about it, in case they listen to the gossip and regard them as the genus of foxes, fairies and ghosts, it may bring unnecessary trouble to this marriage.
Wu Ning felt guilty in her heart, but Feima and Lao Cha didn't care, because Xinghai was afraid of people, even if Wu Ning invited them, they couldn't agree, and besides, it was inconvenient to mix into the team, so it was better to follow far behind.
The team of people and horses packed up, and Wu Mancheng, who was riding a tall horse, gave an order, and the sound of the horse hanging the bell was endless, and the convoy set off slowly and embarked on the journey again.
"Let's go over for breakfast, too. "Pemmas smelled the smoke and felt hungry.
Old tea naturally agreed.
"Meow~"
Pemmas looked back, and a black and white kitten leaped up from the grass, reached out its two front paws, and happily pounced on a butterfly flying through the wildflowers.
The butterfly deftly twisted its body and escaped through the gap between its claws.
"Xinghai, don't you feel annoyed catching butterflies every day?" Feimas shook his head, "It's good that you don't have to eat...... But we still have to eat, keep up. ”
"Meow~" Xinghai reluctantly threw down the butterfly and followed behind Lao Cha and Pegas.
Feimas always feels that there are still some subtle differences between this sea of stars and the sea of stars in reality, not referring to the appearance, but more subtle and indescribable differences, for example, this one seems to prefer to catch butterflies compared to hide and seek, of course, it may also be the reason why no one plays hide and seek with it here.
It sniffed, and after the convoy left, it followed the smell to find a large bluestone in the forest beside the road, on which was a bamboo rice cover upside down, and the smell of beef flatbread and steamed fish wafted out of the rice cover.
Every day after the convoy went on the road, Wu Ning would order the maid to put food on the side of the road, which was very hidden, anyway, Feimas could find it by his nose.
Feimas opened the rice cover and took the flatbread roll beef into his mouth.
Lao Cha ate the steamed fish slowly and methodically.
Xinghai stared blankly at the sky.
Pemmas gobbled up the flatbread roll beef, which was the food of the whole day, and the next meal was tomorrow morning.
After eating, they are not in a hurry to go on the road, they will eat first, and then they will not lose the rut marks so obvious.
"Brother Fei, what happened last night?" Lao Cha stroked his beard and stared at it with a slight surprise, "Brother Fei always feels that today's Brother Fei is different from yesterday. ”
"No, I don't. Feimas looked down at himself, "Are you mistaken?"
"No, Brother Fei, your eyes are clear and clear, as if you have let go of your obsession, could it be that you have achieved enlightenment with your heart?"
Feimas said helplessly, "You think too much about old tea, where will I become enlightened?"
Lao Cha smiled slightly, raised his head and said:
"Let go of obsessions and don't ask the scriptures,
Once enlightened, the heart has been cleared.
Looking back at the merits and disgraces,
It's a century-old trip!"
Feimas was very confused when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Old tea, can you speak in the vernacular, I really don't understand......"
Lao Cha said meaningfully: "Brother Fei, you said that you are from a hundred years later, so why did you come here and now?"
Pemmas was stunned, it had never thought about it.
"Isn't it by chance?" it said, "I was able to enter the mental world of other elves, and that's why I'm here." ”
Lao Cha disagreed, "In the dark, everything has a certainty." Lao Cha thinks that there must be a deeper reason why you are here, and whether you can break through the sky depends on yourself. ”
Feimars's heart moved, why did he come to the world of old tea every time he entered the world of mental imagery? Why did the sea of stars follow? Why is this sea of stars different from the sea of stars in the real world?
It has always thought that it came here just to be a bystander, witnessing the process of Lao Cha going north with Wu Ning, this journey has actually happened in history a long time ago, and whether or not it is a bystander will not change the course of history.
Without it, Lao Cha would still save Wu Ning in the barren mountains, but it would just take a little more trouble.
Without it, Lao Cha would still follow Wu Ning north, but it was just a little lonely.
So what is the significance of its existence and Xinghai in this mental world?
However...... Is it really as Lao Cha said, there is an unpredictable secret hidden in this?
Pemmas is not good at thinking about these mysterious things, and after thinking about it for a while, his head grew three times.
"It's getting late, let's go. Lao Cha interrupted his thoughts, "Lao Yu heard last night that the convoy will cross the river around noon today, Lao Yu is not good at water, you and I should rush over and take a boat with the convoy earlier, otherwise I am afraid that the convoy will be left behind......"
Flying Mars came back to his senses and nodded, "Although I can swim, I don't want to cross a river...... Then let's hurry up and follow, Miss Wu should let us get on the boat. ”
"Let's go, Xinghai. It beckoned back.
Xinghai kept staring up at the sky and muttered, "Meow~ It seems to be raining." ”
Feimas and Old Tea raised their heads in unison.
Call!
The earthy wind whipped up the dust, and Flying Mars squinted his eyes and spit out the sand from his mouth, missing the windproof goggles in his heart.
Dark clouds were coming from the north at a rapid pace, and the sky was darkening at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a torrential rain was approaching in an instant.
"Not good!" Lao Cha's face changed drastically.
"What's wrong?" asked Feimars disapprovingly.
It thinks that Lao Cha is making a fuss, isn't it raining? It seems that even if it is as strong as Lao Cha, it hates to get wet like other cats......
Feimas is looking forward to this heavy rain, he hasn't taken a bath since he appeared in this mental world, and his body is probably smelly.
There had been a few light rains before, but at that time, it and Lao Cha stayed in the Chivalrous Cat Righteous Dog Temple, and they didn't taste the rain. It also thought about borrowing rain to take a bath, but the temperature was still too low at that time, it was afraid of catching a cold, and there was no hair dryer in this world.
Lao Cha stared at the western horizon from afar, where the mountains were stacked on top of each other, and there was no end in sight.
"The clouds are so fierce that Lao Cha is worried that this rain will cause flash floods, and if the river rises, maybe the ferry will be washed away...... Maybe even burst the embankment......"
Mountain torrents?
Pemmas blinked, neither in Hollywood nor Marina City, it had never experienced a flash flood and had never heard of it, but it didn't sound like a good word......
"Then let's catch up!" it thought that the rain would dilute the smell of the convoy, and that it would also form stagnant water on the road to cover up the ruts, and that if it was delayed, it might be lost.
They didn't say anything more, and Pegasus let Lao Cha and Xinghai sit on its back, and it ran wildly to the north with its legs.
In the real history, Lao Cha didn't chat with it, and must have followed the convoy early, and it had to make up for this time difference.
Feimas ran fast and steady, Lao Cha vaguely felt that its speed seemed to be faster than before, and it jumped higher, if it encountered a low tree, it did not dodge at all, but directly rose into the air, jumped over the treetops, and almost drove in a straight line in the direction of the convoy.
Unexpectedly, the convoy soon appeared in front of them, faster than they expected. Probably because the convoy saw the clouds coming from the north earlier than they did.
Wu Mancheng had already ordered the convoy to stop moving for the time being, and he was hesitant in his heart, whether he should hurry up and rush to the river and try to force his way across the river before the rainstorm fell, or should he turn back to the village just now and wait for the rain to pass?
The former is more risky, while the latter will delay the day by a day.
Although he was in a hurry, he did not lose his cool, and knew which was more important, so he only hesitated for a moment, and then ordered the rear team to change to the front team, and the front team to change to the rear team, leaving one or two shrewd and capable subordinates to continue to move forward, go to the river ferry to inquire about the situation, and the brigade turned back the original way and returned to the village just now.
Tossing back and forth, some people in the convoy inevitably complained, complaining in a low voice, feeling that the master was too cautious.
Pemmas happened to meet the returning convoy, stopped his steps, dodged the road, and stood aside to let the convoy pass first.
When Wu Ning's carriage passed, she lifted the curtain and waved at them with a melancholy face, it seemed that she was also worried that if she continued to delay, she would miss the wedding date.
In a big family like this, there are hundreds of invitations scattered out, and there are many big people with heads and faces among the invited guests, and the wedding date cannot be changed if it is changed, and if it is late, it may cause criticism.
Seeing this, Feimas and Lao Cha were very sympathetic in their hearts, but they couldn't help it, after all, it was difficult for manpower to compete with the sky, and it was not worth risking it.
The convoy dragged back and forth for hundreds of meters, slowly returned to the village just now, and re-stationed. Of course, the villagers welcomed them back, and the Wu family was generous, and people could earn a lot of money by eating horses and feeding them overnight, which was worth a month's hard work.
The farmers and women, who had gone out to farm and do laundry, also hurried back to the village.
Lao Cha judged the situation and took Feimas and Xinghai to find a small cave near the wind and shelter from the rain.
Shortly after the convoy settled down, it was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and a dazzling flash of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the hideous dark clouds.
Immediately afterward, one after another thunder rolled in, the wind howled, and the trees as thick as small arms were blown like bows.
Click!
A bolt of lightning struck a crooked-necked tree on a mountain cliff, and several orange fireballs instantly burned the trunk to charcoal.
The power of thunder and lightning between heaven and earth made all the spectators look horrified.
After the lightning and strong winds raged in the vanguard, the soybean-sized raindrops crackled from the sky, smashing holes in the dusty road.
The torrential rain went straight up and down, forming a translucent curtain of beads between the heavens and the earth, and in a short time, the water on the ground merged into a stream.
Everyone hid under the eaves, staring blankly at the sky, wondering when the rain would stop.
The rain never stopped, from day to night.
The people who went to the river to inquire seemed to bring back bad news, and Wu Mancheng's face was so solemn that he was about to drip water.
The person who complained just now was secretly glad that the old man had made the right decision.
It's night, and the rain is still falling.
The sound of the rain was like a lullaby, causing Feimas's eyes to close unconsciously.
Immediately below the belly was rocks, hard and cold, and it curled up and fell asleep.
