Chapter Twenty-Six: Zhengyang City
Seeing this, Jiu Wentian's brain buzzed directly, and it instantly became blank. Nameless fear enveloped him, he felt that it was so dark outside, shouldn't it be dawn? Isn't it dawn yet? Why are there more and more puzzles here......
When do you think it's darkest? Midnight? No, no, no, of course, it's the night before dawn!
When you think you're close to the answer, and that's when you're most confused, these questions are like a thousand thin threads that entangle you, and no matter how you try to solve them, it's useless. Because you're already in it, and you want to know as little as you can now, right?
A strange voice echoed in Jiu Wentian's heart, he knew that it was his own voice, that was the previous one he was laughing at himself. Now Jiuwentian is sweating profusely, he is afraid, he is afraid that he will not be able to solve this mystery, he is afraid that he will fail again, and the shadow of that life will accompany him for the rest of his life......
"Knock knock!" A loud knock on the door brought Jiu Wentian back to reality.
Jiu Wentian put away the book, and then said softly, "Come in." ”
After Nian Siqi came in, he glanced at Jiu Wentian, and then at Jiang Qiufang, and the difference could be clearly seen in his eyes. Nian Siqi said: "What time is it, why is she still asleep? We have to hurry today, there is a long way to go from the Hundred Gardens." I just looked at the map and saw that we were in the northeast corner of the continent, two days to the northwest. ”
At this time, Jiang Qiufang rubbed his eyes with his hand and said softly, "Ah...... It's only a few o'clock, and I'm still sleepy. Sister Liu, can you help me close the curtains? Close the door again, and I'll sleep for a while. ”
"Sister, don't sleep, this is not in the old city, we still have to hurry. Jiu Wentian said to Jiang Qiufang, who was rolling on the bed, and seemed to be very ruthless.
Jiang Qiufang sat up suddenly, and said a little angrily: "Really, you boys are really more anxious than anything else, my mother said that men are some monkeys, and they are even more anxious than monkeys." Cut, what's the big deal. ”
While speaking, Jiang Qiufang had already changed, completely ignoring the two boys here, and only remembered something after the change, and said, "You two bad guys actually stayed here while I was changing clothes!"
Nian Siqi looked depressed and retorted: "It seems that you didn't tell us that you want to change your clothes, besides, where did you get to change your clothes?"
Jiang Qiufang looked at the clothes on his body, although they were not as bright as the one just now, but this dress was also very good-looking, but it was a coarse cloth and it was old. Jiang Qiufang said embarrassedly: "It's over, I thought this was my wardrobe." ”
"It's all right, you can dress it," the proprietress walked in through the door, "this is the dress of a woman and child a few months ago, and I saw that they were so pitiful at that time, so I bought them a dress." Unexpectedly, they were thieves, and not only stole my money, but also some of my valuable clothes. ”
Jiang Qiufang said indignantly: "It's really hateful! If such people were in my house, my father would have killed them a long time ago." ”
"Is it possible that you are the daughter of a noble family?"
Jiu Wentian hurriedly interrupted: "She, her father is relatively strong, and I think no one can beat her father." When she was a child, whoever bullied her would be chased by her father all over the street, and she was used to it. ”
The proprietress laughed, "Really, hahaha, it's good to have a great father." I'll come up and tell you that it's time to eat, and I've got your breakfast for today. Let's go home as soon as you're done. ”
In the eyes of the proprietress, the three children were not as happy as they imagined, but simply apologized and went downstairs. The proprietress thought about it for a while, maybe they were still clinging. It's really a bunch of kids, but their parents are really and haven't come to them yet.
After going downstairs, the three of them found that the proprietress had prepared a very good breakfast for them, and they began to gobble up after not eating last night, Jiang Qiufang was completely sleepy, but was still thanking Jiu Wentian for waking her up, and Nian Siqi muttered on the side that it was obviously his own credit.
After eating, the three of them said goodbye to the proprietress and then went on the road again, the morning journey was very boring, and the street was also very deserted, only a few people walked on the street. But after a long time, Wentian thought that it would be okay to do this, and it would be good if a kind person would come out and hand them over to the "police station" at that time. It was about noon, Jiang Qiufang's stomach screamed, and he said pitifully: "I can't walk, I'm so hungry, I'm so tired......"
Nian Siqi said coldly: "The girl is really troublesome, there is no place to rest here, let's go further." ”
Who knew that Jiang Qiufang stopped picking a pick, and pouted and said: "You see that this street is endless, if I don't stop for a while, I can't go out." ”
Jiu Wentian also spoke for Jiang Qiufang, "Yes, there are people here." Why don't we just find a family to rest. ”
Nian Siqi hesitated for a moment, and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll see which family here is willing to receive us." ”
As soon as the words were finished, an old lady heard the door creak open in a very inconspicuous dilapidated house here. The old lady stuck out her head and looked out the door, and finally looked at the three children, and whispered, "Children, come in!"
The three of them looked at each other, and then Jiu Wentian took the lead in breaking the embarrassment and said, "Since someone is willing to take us in, let's go." ”
Jiang Qiufang also followed and said: "That's right, do you want us to shoot door to door? I feel that this old woman is very good." ”
"I always felt that something was wrong," Nian Siqi whispered, "why is it that everyone here is closed in broad daylight, and there are only so few people on the street, this place doesn't seem to be so simple." ”
Hearing what Nian Siqi said, Jiu Wentian also noticed this situation, and there was no guest in the inn where they stayed last night, is it sparsely populated here?
After a long time of Wentian's words, Nian Siqi followed them into the dilapidated house. The house is very small, and next to it are the tiled houses of large families, and the mud and thatched house in the middle is a world of difference. This thatched hut is very small, and there is a small living room in it, and there is a place for the grandmother to sleep in the living room, and there is a fire pit in the center of the living room.
When the three children came in, the grandmother said kindly, "You are not locals, and locals will never walk around outside for a long time." ”
