Volume 4 Scarlet Eros Chapter 25 Is It a Date?
On the same day, February 5 seemed to be an eventful one.
Yang Haohui had that dream again...... The blurred light and shadow, the golden giant trees that reach into the sky, the church at the bottom of the tree, the unknown bride, and the wedding that should have been happy, but ended in blood and fire.
After the severe pain of piercing his chest, Yang Haohui bounced up from the bed violently, breathing heavily, covered in cold sweat.
He is a very sleepy person, and he always touches his pillow. Not only do I sleep soundly, but I also have few dreams. Even if he did it occasionally, it was mostly just a rainy night when his six-year-old parents disappeared. But since meeting Mo Meng in the Forest of the End, the number of wedding dreams has become more and more frequent. If it's just a dream, the problem is that this dream is extremely realistic, and if you dream about it once, you will be stabbed in the back.
Yang Haohui entered the water mode, rubbed the water and washed his face, and his somewhat muddy mind cleared up a lot. He got out of bed, staggered to the window, and lifted the curtain slightly. The faint sunlight was shining through, and the sky outside the window was clear and blue. Slowly pushing open the window, a warm breeze blows, mixed with a slight salty smell of seaweed.
"The weather was so nice. Yang Haohui sighed softly, and his mood was a lot better because he was stimulated by dreams. I looked back at the wall clock on the wall, and it was half past six in the morning. There was a sudden reflux of acid in his stomach for no reason, and he hurriedly drank two sips of water to suppress it.
The matter goes back to a few days ago, this is not the Dream Soul Academy, but a small hotel in the Seven Elements of the Eastern Metaverse.
Out of Mo Meng's hospitality...... With a warm invitation on the premise of a treat, Yang Haohui agreed to visit Mo Meng's hometown, which is the "central capital" of the Eastern Yuan Realm - the Seven Yuan Rebellion Heavenly Capital. The East and West Realms were located at both ends of the Heavenly Yuan Realm, and the journey was much farther than when I went to the Forest of the End, and it took two days to fly. When the two of them often chatted when they were idle on your back, Mo Meng gave Yang Haohui a lot of science about the Eastern Metaverse.
The Eastern Yuan Realm occupies the smallest area among the Five Realms, and there is no inland, and all areas are coastal, so it is also called the "Sea Domain Boundary". Different from the provincial titles of the Western Metaverse, all the sub-domains of the Eastern Metaverse are called "capital", that is, the capital. And the "atrium" of all the capitals, Mo Meng, also did a little bit of popular science, which means the same as the capital of the original world, which is the capital of the Seven Yuan Rebellion.
It is not difficult to understand that as the eldest lady of the Mo family, Mo Meng does not live in the atrium, and Yang Haohui feels strange.
Facing the sea, fisheries are abundant. Yang Haohui had read a considerable number of geography books before, and Mo Meng's popular science was basically the same as the records in the book, but there were more interesting details. For example, there are very few blonde and white-skinned people in the Western Metaverse, most of them are yellow-skinned people of medium height; for example, the staple food of the people there is all kinds of seafood, but it is not because of customs, but the area of the Eastern Metaverse is small, and there is not enough land to raise cattle and sheep; for example, there are many special products that are widely used in the five major Metaverses, and the most famous is the "prop conch". Yang Haohui has a kind of "telephone" in this world, a communication snail.
Of course, the sea, the conch, is very matched.
In addition, Mo Meng also mentioned a knowledge point called "Big Vortex". The 13 capitals along the coast of the Eastern Metaverse are distributed in a "C" shape, similar to a certain roundabout terrain of the Mediterranean, and there is a huge vortex with a diameter of 30,000 meters in the center of this "C". It exists all day long, never stops, and even the locals don't know the reason for its formation. However, no one cares, the edge of the whirlpool is far from the capital, and it does not affect the lives of fishermen or residents. Over time, this giant whirlpool has become one of the most famous tourist attractions in the Eastern Metaverse, and Yang Haohui has a little impression of this - the starry sky is swirling.
It's just that the more Yang Haohui listens, the more he feels that he has a heavy sense of déjà vu, how to sound like Japan. Along the way, he wondered if the people over there would come with a sentence of "search the temple" when they nodded, and shook their heads and said "Ya Wu Butterfly". But this thought was obviously too much, and by the end of yesterday evening, your had landed on a divided coastal beach, where the uncle in charge of the management of the "dragon park" spoke standard Mandarin.
The climate here is completely different from that of the Western Metaverse, with hardly a single tall tree, and the occasional vegetation is all grass plants such as moss. Maybe it's because of the coast, it's late winter, but there is not a single snowflake in the sky, and there is a hint of warmth floating in the air. The Eastern Yuan Realm has always been like spring all year round, Mo Meng said it on your.
The soothing sound of the waves came from all directions, and the starry sky was clear. Yang Haohui raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and a huge city with bright lights was reflected in his pale chestnut pupils.
The Seven Yuan Rebellion has no city walls, and with the sight of an elemental, you can see the entire city at a glance. The tall, pale gray buildings are scattered and appear to be made of rock, with quaint shapes, each topped by a crescent-like tile eaves with upturned ends. Each building is densely covered with fireflies, as if he used to look at the stars when he was in the old villa in Beijing, and the CBD area overlooked by the way. Yang Haohui understood that those were shaking lamps, and the sound of thousands of shaking lamp wicks colliding was pleasant like wind chimes. Taller than those buildings are clusters of cherry blossom trees, visible everywhere as far as the eye can see, with petals falling in the breeze and reflecting off the lights like pink snowflakes.
The city is really beautiful, the beauty makes people trance-like and intoxicating, like a painting in the style of color and ink. Mo Meng once proudly said more than once, "The beauty of the gods falls, and the mortal world is against the sky", Yang Haohui was originally the hometown complex of this little girl, but now it seems that it is really very appropriate.
Yang Haohui's shocked expression did not escape Mo Meng's eyes, she pursed her lips and pulled Yang Haohui's arm: "Let's go, don't look at it, find a place to live first." ”
But Yang Haohui didn't move, he stood quietly in place, like an old monk in his meditation.
Mo Meng was strange and wanted to scream twice...... As a result, Yang Haohui vomited. Later, Mo Meng learned that Yang Haohui also had a magical setting, a person who ran faster than a horse would actually get motion sickness. This vomit was half an hour, and out of consideration for Yang Haohui's body, Mo Meng took him to stay in a small hotel on the edge of the city that day.
Yang Haohui's mind was dizzy, and he slept until this morning.
It's still early, and Mo Meng shouldn't have gotten up before she lives next door. Yang Haohui really wanted to have some breakfast, but he was distressed to spend money. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Yang Haohui sat at the table in front of the window, and silently took out a pot of flowers and a box of matches from the travel ring. Time should not be wasted, instead of sitting in a daze, it is better to do something serious. The match was lit, and the seven-colored light lit up from his hands, and he seriously concocted some kind of mysterious experiment.
Unexpectedly, Mo Meng, who has always been in bed, got up very early today. As soon as seven o'clock arrived, Yang Haohui heard the sound of deer-like footsteps outside the door. He hurriedly put the flower pot and matches under his feet. With his understanding that Mo Meng never knocks on the door, he will reveal his stuffing one second later.
Sure enough, the door was vigorously pushed open, and Mo Meng stood at the door, revealing a pair of little tiger teeth and smiling: "Let's go, Brother Yang, let's have breakfast first." ”
"It's coming. Yang Haohui said yes as he walked towards the door, and with a "bump", the door slammed.
At the bottom of the table, the pot of flowers shone slightly. Not because of itself, but in the center of the stamen, a small flame was burning quietly and then extinguished......
The inn seemed to have rushed through the meal with the included breakfast. The two returned to their respective rooms, Yang Haohui put away the pot of flowers, and was just about to go out, Mo Meng came in again and threw Yang Haohui a set of clothes, and when he opened it, it was actually a kimono.
"Change your body, it's all dirty, and everyone here wears this, it's called a 'hanging shirt'. Mo Meng said. Before he came, Yang Haohui was wearing the same medieval costume that Hank gave him.
"No need......" Yang Haohui felt troublesome.
"Put it on, I bought it for you. Mo Meng pouted, "You just feel sorry for the money, and you said that I had a treat." ”
Yang Haohui coughed embarrassedly: "Okay...... Go back and calculate how much it is, and I'll give you points. ”
Since spending money is inevitable, you can wear it, and this hanging shirt is unexpectedly comfortable and close-fitting. It looks like a kimono, but it's actually slightly different, there is no inner wear that looks troublesome in the TV series, and there is no huge bow on the back, but the clogs are the same. Yang Haohui thought about it a little and didn't care, just like the previous hot pot, although the original world and this side are different, they are all human beings, and there should be something common in the cultural aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation.
It is said that the speed of time before a girl goes out is another world, which is true. After changing her clothes, Yang Haohui waited at the door of Mo Meng's room for more than an hour, and the sound of Suo Suo could be vaguely heard behind the door, and it was not difficult to imagine how this little girl was changing her clothes in front of the mirror. It is the nature of every girl to love beauty, and Yang Haohui can understand it.
finally waited for Mo Meng to go out, Yang Haohui couldn't help but rub his eyes when he saw Mo Meng's new image, and a sense of disobedience came to his heart.
His own haunt is pure white, while Mo Meng is obviously a little more stinky. Her petite figure was enveloped by a haunt embroidered with pale pink cherry blossoms, and the clothes seemed to be made of silk, shimmering softly in the sunlight. The short hair covering the ears of the original clear soup noodles was tied behind the head by a hairpin, and a cherry blossom pendant was hung at the end of the hairpin. Mo Meng was born with a good foundation and never disdained rouge gouache. But today, she actually put on a light makeup for the first time, with a light blush and a few eyebrow makeup, this little earth girl who has always been an ugly duckling style seems to have suddenly turned into a white swan.
It's not that it's not good-looking, the origin of the sense of disobedience is that Mo Meng is so good-looking, and the good-looking ones are a little different from her. Yang Haohui couldn't help but make up for the dirty little beggar when he first met, and then looked at the little beauty of the small jasper in front of him, and could only sigh with emotion.
Mo Meng was a little embarrassed by Yang Haohui's blank gaze, lowered her head and wrapped her fingers around her hair: "What are you looking at......"
"You're wearing crooked makeup. Yang Haohui said.
"Nasty...... It's the first time I've drawn it. Mo Meng muttered.
"It's not like you who dare to slash Lie Yu with a knife, but ......" After a pause, Yang Haohui said, "It's very beautiful." ”
It's not a complicated compliment, but the corners of Mo Meng's mouth raised a little smile that he wanted to hide but still unconsciously revealed.
After retreating from the hotel, the two strolled through the streets of the capital.
Just like what I saw last night, there are few wooden buildings here, and the style seems to be Japanese, with clusters of crimson cherry blossoms planted between the buildings. The streets and alleys are made of light gray stone grinding piles with fine holes. One side of the water and soil raises one person, Yang Haohui will understand when he thinks about it. All the capitals of the Eastern Yuan Realm are along the coast, and the vegetation is sparse, and most of the materials used by the people to build their houses should be reefs, and the holes on them should be caused by seawater.
There are large and small stalls lined up one after another, which is different from the stalls I saw in the Forest of the End. The businesses here all set up their stalls indoors, which should be called small shops. In front of the open storefront, small sea blue flags are hung, each representing a different type of store. The carp is a food store, the swordfish is a weapon store, the octopus is a clothing store, and there are more or less unrecognizable fish-shaped flags, which are probably some sea Yuan beasts unique to the Tianyuan Realm.
What impressed Yang Haohui the most was the few sea snake flags, Yang Haohui asked Mo Meng what it was, but Mo Meng blushed and pulled it away. It wasn't until after walking away that Mo Meng gave an explanation - those are the places where some lonely old men and young ladies do bad things.
Snake nature is lewd, this flag is appropriate.
Sure enough, as Mo Meng said, people come and go on the cobblestone-paved avenue, and all kinds of pedestrians are also like this. Running children, girls pacing gracefully, old people enjoying the sun on their lounge chairs, and vendors who are about to open and are soliciting customers. The two completely opposite atmospheres seem to have reached a wonderful balance in the Seven Elements Against the Heavens.
Yang Haohui couldn't help but slowly relax in this atmosphere, he thought about the way he had come in the Tianyuan Realm, and it seemed that he had fought wherever he went. This is the first time I've traveled for fun. He would stop and take a look when he took two steps, and Mo Meng didn't urge, standing next to him like a chirping little sparrow, pointing and introducing.
The two of them flickered for a morning, and it was not until the three poles of the sun that their stomachs rumbled that they stopped. Mo Meng led Yang Haohui to a food store on the corner, a three-story building with a huge storefront. The shopkeeper, who was as strong as a bridge pier, was obviously an acquaintance of Mo Meng, and greeted him warmly as soon as he entered the store.
"Yo ha! little young master!" the shopkeeper ushered the two to their seats and greeted them strangely. Yang Haohui didn't think much about the word young master, the daughter of the lord of the Eastern Yuan Realm, everyone in the capital must know it.
"Yo ha, yo ha!" Mo Meng beckoned in return, Yang Haohui didn't know if it was a dialect, but he also replied with a "yo ha".
"Who is this?" the shopkeeper looked at Yang Haohui.
"Brother Yang, my classmate. Mo Meng said.
When the shopkeeper heard the words "Brother Yang", he immediately showed a comprehensible expression, bowed, and replied in a deep voice: "I understand, the shop is closed today, and no one will disturb the two of you'll eat!"
After that, he waved his hand again and shouted at the guys behind him: "Get busy, get busy!
A simple lunch somehow turned into a lavish private feast, and it was clear that the business was really good, and the tables were full. But after the shopkeeper's words, all the guests in the store were invited out, and there were still some reluctant guests, but when they saw Mo Meng's attitude, they all left in a hurry with a friendly "yo ha". Yang Haohui was a little stunned, because he saw many departing guests giving him an inexplicable thumbs up.
"What's the situation?" Yang Haohui asked in a low voice.
"Cards. Mo Meng had a little proud waist.
To be continued......
