Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Third Thing
"Uncle, why don't you sleep in the middle of the night?"
Jade Yu was woken up from his dream by the man, rubbing his sleepy eyes and looking at him in confusion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The man sat down at the head of his bed, and said with a heart full of thoughts:
"You said your mother and brother went to the hunt, didn't you?"
"Well, yes, I'm going to be there for more than half a year, and it's almost time to come back. Jade Yu replied sleepily.
The man sighed:
"Hey, I've been living in your house for so long, it's time for me to go. ”
Hearing that he was leaving, Yu Yu fell asleep at all, and sat up and looked at him reluctantly:
"Where are you going?"
The man smiled bitterly, poked his eyebrows, and said helplessly:
"I'm going to continue my revolution, this time to free the Three-legged City completely. ”
"......, uncle, you're talking nonsense again. ”
"I'm not talking nonsense, this is what your crucian grandmother asked me to do. Come, get up, I'm about to leave at once, and I have something to ask you before I go. ”
Yu Yu knew that men liked to lie and joke, but he could see that he was serious this time, so he cheered up and listened to him carefully.
"First thing, what I planted in the yard, can you help me keep planting?"
Jade nodded.
"I remember you said that in your 28 palaces, which one lives in which palace, it is decided by virtue of your own ability and diligence, as well as the arrangement of Grandma Carp, right? Liuxing Palace is the lowest level, and it is also the most dilapidated and impoverished layer, so the people of Liuxing Palace want to climb up by their own diligence, so your mother and younger brother went to participate in the hunt. ”
Yu Yu still nodded.
"Do you want to see Grandma Carp, do you want to know what she talked to me about that day?"
Jade Yu nodded vigorously, wondering, he wanted to know too much!
The man continued: "If you want to know, go and work diligently, go up, and try to get to the actress palace." In this way, you will be able to see Grandma Carp. That's the second thing I'm going to ask you for, can you do it?"
Yu Yu was stunned for a moment, feeling that this matter was light, everyone wanted to climb up, and there were more people who worked hard, but there were only a few people who could really walk up or even reach the Actress Palace. What can he do?
"Can it be done?"
Seeing that he was timid, the man anxiously asked again.
"......I'll try my best. "Jade Yu is not confident.
"Hey......"
The man sighed again:
"Okay, then the third thing, you can listen to it......
The third thing is this.
Before leaving, the man gave him his backpack and a folding binocular, and told him that one day in the future, a woman would come to Three-Legged City and find him.
If the woman arrives, give her the binoculars. But how do you make sure the telescope is good?
The man said that this woman would definitely go to the yard to steal food, and once a suspicious woman who seemed to be outside appeared in the yard, he must keep her and show her the contents of the backpack. If she knows what's inside, give her the binoculars. If you don't know her, it's not her.
After the explanation, the man set off.
Reluctantly, she persuaded him to stay and asked him where he was going.
The man was also reluctant, but he had made up his mind to go, and told Jade that he didn't know where he was going. He'd go on a trip to the Rain Devouring Forest, pick up something in the monster ship, and then decide where to go. If Yu Yu misses him, in the future, as long as it rains in the three-legged city, look up at the night sky, where is there a light flashing, he will be there.
Looking at the night sky?
After the man left, Jade Yu couldn't sleep, constantly thinking about the scene they had just said goodbye and the words they had said to him. Jade Yu thought that the man had made a slip of the tongue, that is, in addition to the night, it would rain during the day in the three-legged city. Then you shouldn't just look up at the night sky, but at the sky.
Jade Yu also simply thought that it was just a slip of the tongue, but he never thought that it was actually a prophecy.
So the day after the man left, the three-legged city ...... It never dawned again!
The Three-legged City has been in a nightmare ever since. The endless rain and endless nights brought a group of strange strangers, and Grandma Carp also liked the prophecy.
Later, the rain fell for a long time, and it refused to stop all year round, causing panic in people's hearts, turning the once vibrant rain devouring forest into an eerie valley of death. I don't know if it's the god who is crying, or if the secret of the three-legged city that the man once said is finally beginning to emerge.
Then, whenever it rains, look up at the night sky, and there will always be a swirling light in the mountains outside the rain and the forest. It turned out that the man went there, built a lighthouse, and became a tower keeper.
Secrets, prophecies, and a certain person who will come someday in the future......
Looking at the lights of the distant mountains, Jade Yu's heart began to move. I have to say that he never expected that the man who always ran the train with his mouth full of words would be able to stand up to scrutiny. So after the man left, he always kept in mind the three things he had told him, and he did two things.
One thing is that, after so many years, the seed of a man has long taken root in his yard. The second thing is that he successfully went to the actress palace on an errand.
Now that the victory has arrived, the third thing has been done. But before that, he almost gave the telescope to another foreign woman by mistake.
This person is Hu Qin.
Not long after the man left, Huqin came to the three-legged city. The first time Jade met her was in her backyard.
That day, Yu Yu was pouring the generator and rice cooker left for him by the man in the yard, and cooked a pot of fragrant white rice. Jade didn't want to eat it, just bored to use it to pass the time, and by the way, I missed the man.
And just as he was looking at things and thinking about people, he heard some rustling sounds coming from the courtyard......
"Who's in there, get out of here, or I'll throw a speargun!"
Yu Yu was alert to say the lines when he found Man Shengsheng stealing food, only to see Hu Qin walk out with two tomatoes in his hand with an embarrassed face.
Don't...... Is this what men say, a foreign woman who will appear in their yard one day in the future?
Jade Yu put down the speargun and looked up and down at Hu Qin's dress that obviously didn't match the three-legged city, as well as her miserable little flower face.
Later, Yu Yu successfully chatted with Hu Qin, and then tested her with the rice she cooked. It turned out that Huqin's eating habits and some language habits were the same as those of men. Therefore, he concluded that Huqin should be the woman the man said he was.
Then it's time to give her the binoculars.
Jade Yu was excited, and the man's prophecy came true again.
After Hu Qin was full, he hurriedly invited her into the house, and threw all the contents of his backpack on the ground, so that she could slowly identify them, and he went to another room to get a telescope.
Yu Yu got the binoculars, hid it behind her and returned to the bedroom, wanting to surprise Huqin. He felt that since the man knew that she was coming, and asked to give her the binoculars, she should know about the man and the secrets of the three-legged city.
He walked behind Hu Qin, patted her on the back, and took advantage of the moment she turned her head, took out the binoculars from behind her back and said excitedly:
"Look what this is!"
Unexpectedly, at the same time, Hu Qin also happened to ask him with something in his backpack:
"What is this?"
Yu Yu hesitated for a moment, quickly hid the telescope behind him, looked at Hu Qin suspiciously, and asked:
"This ...... It's called a mobile phone, although I don't know much about the specifics. Don't you know?"
Huqin shook his head.
"So, don't you know what's in this bag?"
Hu Qin still shook his head: "I almost don't know each other." ”
