Chapter 10: Wake up

With a repetitive and regular schedule, it's easy for time to pass imperceptibly. With the establishment of a simple three-point one-line itinerary for docks, fish drying grounds, and cottages, a week has passed before you know it.

It's like to compensate for the long winter evil moon. Since coming here, there have only been two heavy rains in the West, and the rest of the day has been sunny and sunny. The roads around the border town that had been blocked by heavy snow have been restored, and the most well-informed docks are also full of fear, and all kinds of rumors that the nobles of the Changge Fortress might attack the border town have also spread.

The atmosphere of the pier, which was full of vitality in the past, has also become solemn and dull these days, and it is mixed in the crowd, and Wu Yu, who has also become silent and preoccupied, does not look any different from the others.

However, Wu Yu is not because most people are worried about the chaos of war, he knows that the war will not last long, even the most rudimentary guns will only be a one-sided slaughter against the army of the last medieval.

What haunted Wu Yu was a sense of irritability and a sense of loss that he himself had a little hard to choose. After many years of reading at home, he is not keen to be the kind of adventurer who is full of adventure, so the map that has been unfolded is enough for him to move. His busy work schedule makes him worry about food and clothing, and in this world, all the words have been transformed into real things.

In short, it seems to be relative to the city where I once lived. In this world of words, for the bookworm Wu Yu, it is more like a sense of truth.

…………………………

But why is this so, for the first time, you don't have to suffer from hunger all the time, and for the first time, you can really touch the world of words.

These two pleasant things are intertwined. And these two joys will bring me a lot of joy. I should have had this dream-like happy time.

But why is it the way it is......

Wu Yu stared blankly at a knight's biography spread out in front of him, perhaps because of the limitations of the novel world, for the people who grew up here, those interesting and existing knight biographies or adventure novels, and even the provisions of the law. For Wu Yu, there is only one cover or even just a vague cloud of meaning that can be expressed only by will, after turning the page, there is not a single word on it, and the entire page is blank.

"It's a great irony that there are no books in the world of words. Wu Yu muttered, the general low cultural background in the Middle Ages and the difficulty of surviving at the beginning, made him selectively ignore the unusual situation that has not appeared in front of his eyes in the past few days, not even a word.

Perhaps, it's not just these reasons. There are deeper factors. Raising his illusory arm in front of him, he looked at the blurred figure running back and forth on the dock. Then he looked at the leg that had filled the sky and earth behind him, and only the leg above the knee level.

On the other hand, if we say that we do not regard the disappearance of our own existence by condensing the unwritten world as the price of equivalent exchange. But the world's proportion of accommodating and assimilating itself seems to make sense?

Dry dried fish every day, go to the dock to do some small work, chat with a few friends in your spare time, watch the development of the main plot from afar, and make a background board that no one can see.

Unconsciously, Wu Yu has become more and more like everyone who is busy in front of him, both in terms of mentality and appearance. And I forgot that I should have been a passerby who didn't belong in the book in the first place.

A text, a journey. It is important to have a full stomach, but when the stomach is full, the heart is hungry.

Even if he can finally live in this world for a long time, without the company of books and stories, then this bookworm is actually not alive.

As for the way to leave. There is already some speculation. In the past, when concocting dried fish and constructing a fuzzy world, the process of injecting information into the world by oneself caused a pause in time and a shaking of space. It seems that it is a bit difficult to leave in a low-key manner, is this an arrangement that forces an obedient middle school student to do something?

"Hey, Yu boy, come over and help when you're rested!"

"Okay!

But in any case, the people here owe nothing to themselves to this world. While helping to unload the wheat transported from a distant merchant ship, Kureha felt the reality of the people around him.

I remembered the feeling of being numb in the snow when I was hungry and cold, the smile of the iron axe when I drank the hot soup in the cabin, the push of the pomelo peel as he led him to my residence, and the small pile of dried fish that was neatly stolen every once in a while......

To be precise, they are all people and the world full of goodwill and beauty, and even if you want to leave, you can't hurt them. A gift that is not too expensive and needs to be fermented by time may be enough.

………………

At the end of the day's work, Wu Yu returned to his small earthen house. As usual, after piling up a pile of processed dried fish in the corner of the dam where the dried fish was dried, he did not go back to the house to rest, but knocked on the doors of the neighbors one by one, telling everyone that they needed to come to the house tomorrow to get together, count the number of dried fish first, and that they had important things to tell everyone.

As a junior high school graduate, Wu Yu actually does not have much intellectual capital enough to leverage the world, at least for him, physical chemistry is still a superficial subject. What can be unobtrusive is what I know, and it seems that this is the gift from ancient China.

For the first time in the long history of coming here, the townspeople of the border town had heard Wu Yu take the initiative to ask for help, and the big guys who happened to be worried about the unstable situation also wanted to get together to discuss future arrangements and store the dried fish that they had dried in Kure's dam.

In the early morning, the warm sunlight began to slowly sprinkle from east to west throughout the border town.

The fish drying dam in front of Kure's hut has completely changed its appearance. The ground that used to be cluttered with river fish is now covered with several horizontal and vertical lines, and in the lattices formed by horizontal and vertical crossing, there are different numbers of river fish.

"What the hell are you kidding, if you don't make it clear, I won't bypass you. Before dawn, the coolie pomelo peel, who had been brought in to help, rubbed his sore wrist and complained.

"These days, it's customary to bring a few fish to me every day to help with the fishiness, and although I am occasionally snatched by a wild cat, I hardly miss it, because there is a magic mantra that I used to work in the tavern. The air next to him seemed to tremble, Wu Yu glanced at it, continued to look at some familiar vague figures that gradually surrounded him, and began to talk to himself. "In this way, the big guy will not be deducted from his salary if he goes to work for those noble lords in the future. ”

Looking down from the distant sky, the ground looks like a long staircase. And Wu Yu was jumping down the steps one after another.

At the same time, for the first time in a complete world, Wu Yu, who thought he was a little crazy, began to try to make up the brain for all the people around him who he knew.

When the naked eye could see the starlight spreading along his body and drifting towards the crowd, like a rotating nebula, Wu Yu endured the discomfort in the morning light and continued to try to keep his thoughts clear.

"It may be a little hard, but this time you can definitely understand it. ”

"One by one, one by two, one by two, two by two,......"

It's different from the feeling of soul washing when building the shape for Yuzu peel and Fanna, and it's also different from the splendor of recasting the world before.

As the points of light fell one by one, spreading on everyone, their appearance did not change, and the world was still the same clear world, and the salted fish on the ground were still lying quietly as teaching props.

It's just that little by little, a seed called Possibility and Hope blooms in the void above the heads of everyone present. An invisible line spreads out towards the infinite distance along everyone's line.

Sure enough, as I expected, thought and knowledge are the biggest changes to the world.

“… Ninety-nine-eighty-one. ”

"Thank you, goodbye, everyone. ”

Wu Yu, who could no longer see the rest of himself, felt the violent turmoil in the world, and the familiar urban world that was gradually becoming shattered and vaguely saw a different picture, and tried to raise the corners of his mouth to make a smile.

…………

It felt very heavy on my body, as if my hands and feet were tied, and I couldn't use my strength.

"Kid, kid?"

Wu Yu felt that someone was calling him, and he suddenly opened his eyes to see a dazzling white light.

"Welcome back..."

"Thank God, he's awake..."
