Chapter 14 How Long to Stay Alone?
Mrs. Fu walked into the gate of the ruined city safely. The vicious dog that barked incessantly just now seemed to be covered by something, and he was unaware of Mrs. Fu's entry into the city.
The young man in the city did not stop Mrs. Fu from entering, and after he let out that faint "hey", he did not make any more noise, silently watched Mrs. Fu come in, and then turned around and turned into the corner.
It seems that this Xiliang Dog King has acquiesced to outsiders entering the city.
Wang Chuan had a conjecture in his heart and chased Mrs. Fu into the city.
The wide open gate was tilted and deeply embedded in the ground, and the large pieces of wood chips on the side of the gate peeled off the main body of the gate, and had to be embedded in the loess, some of which swayed in the wind. The signs of decay are especially evident on the mottled gate, the door of this ruined city can no longer be closed, and it is not known how many years it has been tilted here.
The real gate of the ruined city should be a group of man-eating vicious dogs raised by the Xiliang Dog King.
When Wang Chuan passed by the city gate, he kept an eye on the group of dogs and kept a lot of caution. He never wanted to be careless and become a delicacy in the mouth of a vicious dog.
But it was strange that when he stepped into the city and passed by the sloping gate, the dogs, who were supposed to bark viciously, wagled their tails around him.
"What's going on?"
Wang Chuan suddenly guessed a possibility, but it was a little incredulous.
"Huh?"
The boy who disappeared around the corner also made a short sound.
Wang Chuan noticed that the young man was peeking around the corner, and then immediately disappeared.
Even if he was curious, the boy had no interest in any of this.
"Or maybe he can't speak?"
Wang Chuan thought of this possibility. It's a pity that when I communicated with She Wei, I didn't inquire about the situation of the Xiliang Dog King. He didn't know what the roots of this young man were.
The place where the boy turned away was very different from the other place. Elsewhere there is a dusty cover, and the cobwebs are tangled, and there are still a lot of remnants in this winter. Some time ago, the heavy snow that spread all over the Shenzhou Dynasty still leaves traces here.
But the direction in which the boy turned was clean and tidy, and it was obviously cleaned.
There is a street and several low houses in this place. Wang Chuan looked at it, and it was clean, like a new land that had just been developed and had not yet been settled.
"Click, click, click, click—"
The sound of a kitchen knife chopping a cutting board.
Wang Chuan looked over to the low house on the side of the clean street, and the young man was chopping the meat on the cutting board just now.
There is a pot sitting on the fire next to the cutting board, and the soup in the pot is boiling hot.
The stove and the cutting board were a little high, and the boy raised his arms high to chop meat, and his movements were extremely uncoordinated. But he did it so neatly, and it was clear that he had already become extremely skilled in the work.
"Nice lad. Look at this meat chopped, it will not hurt your teeth. ”
Mrs. Fu had unconsciously run to the door of the young man's cooking room, squinted at the young man with her hands behind her back, and commented happily.
Wang Chuan: "......"
The young man didn't complain about Mrs. Fu's unauthorized evaluation, but turned his head and smiled at Mrs. Fu.
This smile is just a simple laugh, and there is nothing special about it. Mrs. Fu was so happy that she was like her grandson, so she almost danced.
The boy smiled and turned around, chopped the meat, lifted the pot on the fire, and threw the minced meat into it.
Old Lady Fu's attention was suddenly attracted by the pot of meat, and she no longer asked Xiliang Dog King, the godson she identified.
The young man was about to come out, went to the outside of the street to look at the dog at the city gate, and then came back to look at Wang Chuan and asked, "Sister She?" Master Li? ”
These words are inexplicable, but Wang Chuan contacted the situation at the city gate just now, and he magically figured it out.
- When I passed by the city gate, the barking dogs did not bark or say anything, and wagged their tails around themselves to show their closeness, which means that they are likely to have the smell of those vicious dogs close to them.
Of course, he didn't have it, but the people he had come into contact with might have left the smell on him, signaling the vicious dogs when he passed by the city gate.
Among the people he came into contact with, the only one who had dealt with the Xiliang Dog King and these vicious dogs was She Wei and She Nuxia. But it has been a long time since Chenggu County, Chengzhou, Chengdu, how could She Wei's smell still remain on him?
It was precisely because of this suspicion that Wang Chuan did not dare to be convinced, and when he thought of this possibility before, he only felt incredible.
But when the boy asked this question, Wang Chuan had to think about this possibility again.
Maybe the noses of these vicious dogs are really such gods.
"I know Lady Sheh."
Wang Chuan said.
"Oh."
The boy nodded, a look of sudden realization.
"Sure enough—"
Wang Chuan was convinced in his heart.
I didn't expect to guess correctly. I didn't expect the noses of these vicious dogs to really have such a spirit.
"Contemptible Wang Chuan, six doors catch fast. What's your name? ”
Wang Chuan asked.
“…… Cold summer. ”
The boy said. The boy spoke very briefly, and every time he spoke, he had to pause for a while, as if he had to read a note. It seems that this kid has been alone in the abandoned city of San'in for many years, and has become unsuitable for communicating with people. It's not easy to jump out one or two words or two.
"Who is Master Li?"
Wang Chuan asked again.
He remembered what She Wei had said, She Wei knew a friend, and that friend looked at each other with the Xiliang Dog King, and She Wei came here to help her friend deliver letters.
Xiliang Dog King Leng Xia asked about him, but there were only these two names, could it be that after so many years of being alone in the abandoned city, he only knew these two people?!
She Wei also came to deliver a letter to that friend. So in other words, before She Wei came, this kid called Leng Xia only had Master Li's friend?
What a loneliness this is!
What a dedication!
Wang Chuan couldn't imagine what kind of courage this little boy had to stay here alone. He couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
"Master Li, tell the story."
It was rare for Leng Xia to pop out five words at a time, and when it came to storytelling, his expression revealed a little yearning and pleasure.
"Storytelling?"
The website repeats a sentence.
Leng Xia nodded and said, "Li Roll, New Year, come, tell the story." ”
Wang Chuan followed Leng Xia's train of thought, and it was easy to understand the words of the young dog king.
That Master Li, the surname is Li Minglu. There is information about this person in the six doors, and Wang Chuan also knows about it. This Li Roll is a roaming world in the rivers and lakes, but he loves storytelling and is very famous. In the rivers and lakes, this person is the best storyteller, and in the storytelling world, this person is the best in mixing the rivers and lakes.
The young man Leng Xia got a letter, and Li Roll was going to come to the ruined city of Shanyin for the New Year to tell him a story.
In this way, the disappointed look that Leng Xia showed when he saw Wang Chuan and Old Lady Fu when Leng Xia was at the gate of the city before could be explained.
"Didn't come ......"
Leng Xia looked at the city gate, and then at Wang Chuan and Mrs. Fu, and her voice was gloomy.
"It doesn't matter, I'll tell you a story first."
Wang Chuan felt that he was infected by the expectations of the teenager, and suddenly became interested.
