Chapter 5: The Witch of Five Hundred Years Ago

Chen Zhiqiang calmed down, took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice: "Sophie, don't cry yet, can you tell me what your birthday is?" ”

Sophie wiped her tears and sobbed: "June 3rd, what's wrong?" ”

"Can you remember what year you were born?" Chen Zhi's heart beat like a drum, and his eyes were staring at Sophie.

"1500 years."

Thump!

Chen Zhi fell to the ground with a chair on his back, causing Sophie to exclaim, she forgot to be afraid, and ran out of the black hole quickly, her white and tender hands helped Chen Zhi's shoulders, and shouted in a panic: "Lord Lord, are you okay?" ”

Chen only felt that he was holding a heavy metal rock concert in his head, and the earth-shattering sound swept by, shaking his brain to hurt. He opened his mouth with difficulty, only to find that his mouth was dry as if he had just returned from the desert, "Sophie, you, you didn't lie to me, did you?" ”

Sophie just helped Chen Zhi up, and when she heard this, she hurriedly let go of her hand in panic and shook it again and again, "No, Lord Lord is a good person, I won't lie to you." ”

Bang dang!

Chen fell to the ground again. This time he did not rush to get up, but lay on the ground on all fours and closed his eyes.

My heart is like a bubbling hot pot, boiling!

Nima! 1500 years, isn't that more than 500 years from now? Is she an old monster with good looks?

Chen secretly looked at Sophie from the gap between her eyes, but the skin that could be blown and broken was full of collagen, and there was no wrinkle on her smooth face, no matter how she looked at it, she was just a young girl.

"Sophie, who the hell are you? Do you know what year it is? ”

Sophie squatted down sadly, and her two small hands tightly grasped Chen Shi's clothes, "Lord Lord, I know that this year is 2017, and I have been sealed in a nesting doll for 500 years. I, I'm a witch! ”

She quickly pointed to the matryoshka doll on the bedside table in the inner room, and then grabbed Chen Shi tightly with both hands.

Contrary to the attitude of avoiding Chen Zhi just now, Sophie now seems to be more afraid that Chen Zhi will abandon her if he knows her identity. Although she didn't know 100% about Chen, five hundred years later, in this strange world, Chen was the only mortal who had contact with her.

Chen faded away from the initial panic and gradually calmed down. He simply sat cross-legged on the ground and comforted Sophie with words.

"Sophie, can you tell me what the hell is going on? Why are you sealed in a nesting doll and what has happened in these five hundred years? ”

Sophie looked at Chen Shi with her eyes as bright as black jewels, and slowly spoke, "My lord, I was born in a merchant family in the city of Venice, I grew up in a wealthy life, I had no worries about food and clothing, and my parents treated me like a pearl in the palm of my hand, but on my sixteenth birthday, that is, in 1516, an incident happened that completely changed my life. Sophie's language is clear and shows that she is well educated.

Large tears rolled down her snow-white cheeks, like a little dew on the petals of a white magnolia, and Chen couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw it.

"That night, my parents prepared a sumptuous dinner for me, and the three of us sat around the table talking and laughing, and everything was so beautiful." Sophie raised her eyes, her gaze piercing through the air, and a smile of infinite fascination appeared on her face, as if she had returned to that night.

"After eating, I played a piano piece for my parents and went back to my room to rest. But when I slept in the middle of the night, I suddenly felt a huge pain in my body, like a pair of big hands trying to tear me apart in my body. I screamed in fear and my parents ran to my room and they saw me and I ......"

The light in Sophie's eyes dimmed, revealing endless horror, and Chen Shi's hand was raised, slowly falling on her long hair, caressing it again and again. It was probably this action that soothed Sophie, who continued, "There was a black hole in my room that was constantly changing, and my body was in and out of it. ”

Sophie smiled hard, "Lord Lord, you should be able to guess that I am a witch, and on my sixteenth birthday, the magic in my body was uncontrolled and awakened. ”

Chen couldn't believe his ears, and although he couldn't fully understand Sophie's words, he also knew more or less that in medieval Europe, witch was a term that could be equated with the devil, and once someone was found to be a witch, the commoners would twist the witch to the local lord like crazy and burn her at the stake.

Prior to this, Chen had always regarded the witch as a legend, believing that it was caused by people's ignorance when the people's wisdom was not civilized. But today, he witnessed Sophie's miraculous performance of freely entering and exiting the black hole several times, and he realized that those legends may not be groundless.

A 500-year-old witch was appearing alive in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.

Chen had countless questions to ask her, how she was sealed in a nesting doll, how she came to China, and why did she speak Chinese?

"Sophie ......"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of unlocking outside.

"Chen Zhi, I'm back." Chen Xudong's voice sounded, "Why can't the door be opened, are you locked?" What are you doing? ”。

With a brush, Sophie burrowed into the black hole and disappeared.

It was interrupted at another critical moment, and the root of Chen's most hated teeth itched, and he slowly got up and opened the door.

Chen Xudong, who looked suspicious, was obviously stunned when he saw the neat and clean room after entering the house, rubbed his eyes, looked around and found nothing abnormal, showing a hint of pride, "I didn't work in vain today, I got your work done, didn't you learn computers?" I have a friend who works for a company that deals in security equipment, and I told him that you will report to him tomorrow, and by the way, bring your ID card and graduation certificate. ”

Chen pouted, crying and laughing, without waiting for him to answer, Chen Xudong patted his stomach, "I ran for a day, I didn't care about lunch, I'm hungry, go, go downstairs and go to the strings." ”

Only then did Chen realize that it was already half past five in the afternoon.

Yanmei Dumpling Restaurant has set up a barbecue grill in the open space downstairs, and a few tables and chairs are placed casually. The charcoal fire was red, the smoke was rising, the aroma of barbecue was wafting everywhere, Chen Shi's stomach immediately gurgled a few times, and most of the two bowls of egg fried rice and half a catty of vegetarian dumplings were eaten by Sophie at noon, and now when she smelled the fragrance, she was conditioned.

Chen Xudong sat down on a small stool with a golden knife and teased the fat old Wang, "Lao Wang, the money of the entire Xiaonan Road has been earned by you alone, I am strange, you open the door to sell breakfast before six o'clock in the morning, sell fast food at noon, and barbecue at night, don't you sleep?" ”

Fat old Wang Le came over with six bottles of cold beer, "CHEN SIR, I AM SUFFERING FROM HARDSHIPS, AND THERE IS A FAMILY WAITING FOR ME TO FEED, DON'T YOU BE DILIGENT?" What to eat? ”

Chen Xudong waved his hand, "Meat skewers, meat tendons, oyster scallops, give me a plate, peanuts and edamame first." ”
