Chapter IV Problems
Highway? City? Grandma Sang had never heard of these terms, but she only felt that the words and words of this Destiny were different from them.
The clothes worn are also too close-fitting, and the layer covered on the outside may be rain shelter, and the material is also unprecedented, everything is a little strange.
But the prophecy of the Mandate of Heaven in her heart has long been ingrained, and she just shakes her gods, so she feels that all the strange problems on Yuan Qinqin are not a problem.
When everything that is not reasonable is preset, then everything that is not normal is normal.
So she just pondered for a while, and then selectively explained one by one according to Yuan Qinqin's literal meaning
"Well, you can call me Grandma Sang."
"This is the west side of the desert island in the west, on the side peak of the highest mountain on the island, Fengchao Peak."
"Our roads here are all stepped out by hunters and woodcutters, and the roads in the village are paved by the boys themselves."
Highway is one more word than road, so the people of Destiny should be able to understand it, right?
Grandma Sang climbed up with great difficulty, and now she had to climb down with great difficulty, and her feet had already flashed, but she stubbornly wanted to leave a good impression on the Mandate of Heaven in her heart.
While fighting with this endless step in his heart, he explained slowly, and he no longer had time to care about the reaction of Yuan Qinqin, the audience, so he didn't notice Yuan Qinqin's increasingly dazed and frightened expression.
As for the city, it probably means the city, Grandma Sang took a breath and continued.
"We don't have a city here, and the whole island is the descendants of the ancestors of the West Trouble, who came to West Island three hundred years ago to take refuge and have never gone out again."
"If you want to say that the nearest city, it should be the westernmost Fengming City on the Yuanding Continent, and it is recorded on the scroll of the ancestors that after leaving Fengming City, you can go west, pass through the storm reefs, and then cross the Sea of Grievances, and you can come to the West Desert Island."
What island, what city, I haven't heard of it, there are so many islands in the world, I haven't heard of the name, it's understandable, but what continent?
Even if she failed in geography, she knew that there was no such continent on the world map, Yuan Qinqin looked at the foggy front of her, and felt that her head was as confused as the fog.
Glad that she could understand the language spoken by the old woman, but neither the literal meaning nor the meaning of the words could be digested.
And these words, not only did not solve her doubts, but instead created a messy twine logic for her.
If it weren't for the little bean ding hanging on her chest that swung her little hand from time to time, and the pile of things on her back weighed down her shoulders so much, she really thought that she was hallucinating.
She couldn't help but feel that either she was crazy, or that this mother-in-law was delirious and had a problem.
She walked up the stairs without railings with an old woman who was delirious, and the old woman would suddenly lose control and go crazy.
Is it high to fall here? When I looked out, I couldn't see that the fog was too big.
I thought, there is an old woman here, so maybe there is a nursing home down here? Did this mother-in-law run out?
But what kind of nursing home can run out of such a magical mother-in-law!! Her brain is really knotted!!
As soon as I tied the knot, I was hungry and wanted to eat instant noodles.
Granny Sang thought of the Yuanding Continent described on the scroll of the ancestors, and thought of the current situation of Siyan Island.
I couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is the forgotten land of the four gods, there is no power of gods and demons here, there are no miracles, prayer will not work, and the land cannot grow rich crops"
"There are beasts of prey and birds of prey in the wilderness, and fierce beasts in the sea. The people of the West are in trouble, and everything has to be relied on themselves. The Yuanding Continent is loved by heaven and earth, and there is a world of difference from here."
"The people there live a rich and prosperous life, although there are some wars, but the old woman thinks that it is normal for there to be wars where there are people."
"People live a lifetime, not only to fight with heaven and earth, but also with people, with themselves, no matter where they are, the struggle can never avoid ......,"
Yuan Qinqin felt that the old woman didn't seem to be crazy, her words were logical and orderly, and she answered all her questions.
After telling the story, she also talked about her own opinions, and she was a very good person to get along with, and when she talked about her opinions on the battle, she was also drawn by the realm of her words and thought about herself.
Isn't she fighting against her own fate, when she was in school, she first fought her autism caused by being ridiculed because of obesity, and then fought hard to fight her eyes that ridiculed herself.
It wasn't until later, when she was doing business, she tried her best to compete with others, and where she was located, naturally the trouble for people had been reduced a lot, and it was more about people fighting against each other and people with themselves.
It's just that I didn't expect that I had experienced a hundred battles and still lost in a love word. Once I went back to before the liberation, how do I explain it to my parents when I go back now?
Granny Sang has never confided her heart to anyone, and the Mandate of Heaven is the only comrade-in-arms of the same front as her, the patriarch and part-time witch.
Once you open your heart, you can't stop it: "This is not the old woman questioning the decision of the ancestors, the ancestors decided to come to the island of Sinan, there must be their reasons"
"At that time, on the Yuanding Continent, something that could not be compared must have happened."
The old woman just felt that escaping was not the solution to the problem. Our ancestors must have thought of today, so they once left a prophecy, saying that the Mandate of Heaven can bring the people of the West to return to the Yuanding Continent and regain a foothold in the Yuanding Continent. ”
Thinking that the Mandate of Heaven was behind him, the people of the West would soon be able to get out of barrenness, and as he spoke, he was happy from the bottom of his heart, and his face smiled even more.
"Old woman, now that she is old, she was vigorous when she was young, and she once thought about going to the Yuanding Continent to have a look."
"Go and see the prosperous Fengming City, see the Miracle Heavenly Mountain, as well as the frozen Northern Plains, and the Dragon Sea in the east."
"The scroll says that in the east of the Yuanding Continent, the climate is very similar to that of Ennan Island, hot and humid, but there are no fierce beasts in the sea, children can play freely on the beach, pick up fish and shrimp on the shore, and don't have to be afraid of something in the sea that will suddenly jump up and eat them."
"The old woman looked at the scroll, and always thought that she would go to a beach like that and make a stop there, and blow the sea breeze there, to know if it was different from ours."
I don't know when the fog dissipated, and the clouds in the sky were a little thick, but the sunlight penetrated through the thick clouds and sprinkled on the two of them, which was really warm and beautiful for Yuan Qinqin, who had been frozen on the mountain for too long.
Grandma Sang's tone of talking about dreams is too fascinating, Yuan Qinqin's rhythm is completely taken away, those things she doesn't understand are the fantasies of the old man, this fantasy is very specific, there are dreams in the fantasy, and this dream sounds very beautiful.
Then she followed the old man's logic, gasped and answered: "So, if the people of the West Desert Island want to get out of this island, they must rely on a person called the Mandate of Heaven?" ”
"So does this person have a clue now? I don't think prophecies have always been very reliable. ”
"We also have a prophecy there that the end of the world will be the end of the world on a certain year, month, and day, and the whole world will be destroyed."
"But I had a good time in the end of the world, when I had just opened the Qinhui supermarket, and people often came to rush to buy salt, water and dry food, and moved the whole box back home to prepare for the end of the world."
"I made a lot of money back then. Hey, hey, hey, ....... Thinking about the scene at that time, Yuan Qinqin thought it was very funny.
Grandma Sang turned around and looked at Yuan Qinqin, who was smiling with a flower, and felt that this girl looked good when she smiled.
If you don't have so much meat and a lower stature, you might be a beauty. She didn't know where Yuan Qinqin's laughter was, but she was very happy to see her smile.
The two men laughed on the steps. These two people who have a huge age difference and time difference, separated by a generation gap of thousands of feet in the abyss, because of an unreserved conversation, a sense of trust and inexplicable friendship rose in their hearts.
Yuan Qinqin thought, after going down the mountain, she must send this strange mother-in-law home safely, and then she will go home again. She didn't realize that she had automatically blocked the truth that she didn't want to think about at all, and she was bent on lying to herself, and she could still go home, and she could go home.
It was getting late, the sky was dotted with stars, and the light of a bright moon was clear.
"What about people?" Under the phoenix nest peak, Grandma Sang looked around.
All that was left was the makeshift fire set up by the villagers who had come with her. The firewood in the fire burned vigorously, and there was no sign of a fight around, but not a single person was gone.
Roar-roar-roar! What kind of animal is this after facing danger, guarding against and threatening the other party's roar Yuan Qinqin is familiar to hear. "The voice of the beast!" Grandma Sang couldn't care about her feet being tired, and hurriedly strode in one direction, Yuan Qinqin was carrying a heavy load, and she had long wanted to rest, this was not covered, in order to be able to cope with various situations, she brought everything she could think of and could bring, and there were even two buckets of water in it, which were really heavy. However, I don't know what the situation is, and I can't say that I lost my burden, so I can only barely keep up, Xiaodouding was also woken up by the beast's roar at this time, and when he opened his small mouth, he soared into a high pitch, and Yuan Qinqin's ears were about to explode.
A chaotic voice sounded in front of him, sounding depressed and full of warlike intent: "Patriarch's mother, you can count it." "Someone says hello" to the patriarch's mother. Someone pointed out: "Patriarch, mother, look." Someone else noticed the crying of the child behind him and asked, "Who is that?" ”
Yuan Qinqin looked at the things illuminated by the torch, and immediately gasped - isn't this the big monster cat that "saved" her life in the morning and killed Xiaodouding's mother wormwood tragically?
I saw that the poor beast's horn was broken in half, and there was a scratch on its face, and one of its hind legs was also bloody, and its two wings were also damaged, like a broken chicken. I didn't expect the big monster cat that was still majestic in the morning to eat people, and it only took a few hours to become like this. Qi Qi kept roaring, and one of his still intact front paws kept digging the ground, scratching the mud one after another, warning the people around him not to try to get close to it.
Grandma Sang looked around Qi Qi, and pressed a large piece of artemisia grass behind it, and the fallen artemisia grass seemed to be a road, Grandma Sang said that it was not good, this poor beast somehow should have encountered a monster that was more fierce than it, the two beasts fought, and Qi Qi fled in defeat. All the way back to "home", he was physically exhausted and unable to walk on the way, but was found by the villagers waiting at the bottom of the mountain.
Grandma Sang inferred that Yuan Qinqin actually found that the eyes of the big monster cat actually gave birth to the corresponding emotions of "shame" and "unwillingness" with the development of the plot inferred by Grandma Sang. When I heard Grandma Sang say that there seemed to be a fierce beast in the wind, she should have chased this poor Qi. When he hurriedly beckoned everyone to go quickly, leaving him alone, it was so shocked that it glanced back, and roared fiercely twice, and finally saw that the people were really leaving, and its cry roared, but it turned its head to the ground, looking like it was about to be killed, lightly weak, sobbing and accommodating, like crying mournfully.
He was really unlucky, there were pursuers behind him, and there were traps in front of him. Counting this day, he has also been in this ghost place for three days, and he has not eaten a bite until now, and he is frightened by strange things, and is chased by Dapeng birds that are bigger than him, and he can't beat people when he is hungry, but now it's okay. He was thinking that he could choose a way to die, but now it seems that there is only one way to die. It screamed mournfully, feeling that there was nothing to love.
Grandma Sang was going to take everyone around this land, go farther, find a safe place to stay, and rest for one night before leaving, but when she came back to her senses, she found that Yuan Qinqin, who had been following behind her, was gone, this is terrible, she hurriedly called everyone to find it, and the last person in the team turned around and almost didn't scream, my God, is he stupid? Blessing of the four gods!! What is that outsider doing??
