Volume 1 Journey to the Wasteland Chapter 294 It was helpless
"Young man, do you want a bowl of soup? It's just out of the pot, but it's still hot. ”
......
It was a hoarse voice, a woman's voice. Now it rang out in the gray mist across the bridge, echoing, repeating. In the white night, I heard it, but I experienced a sense of ancient vicissitudes from it.
And in his memory, he remembered that when he was in hell, there was also a woman who said the same thing to him and asked him if he needed a bowl of hot soup.
But that time, he didn't have much to do with the woman who was cooking soup in front of a bridge. He remembered that the person who had spoken to him was an old woman, but her voice was completely different from what he heard now.
"It doesn't seem to be her, and it's not really hell here. ”
"It's just...... It's not hell, what kind of place is it? And Crispy even said that this is the best place...... It's a real headache. ”
............
In the face of the constant greetings, Bai Ye's face did not change, and he was extremely calm. At this moment, he stood on the broken bluestone bridge, holding Bai Sushu's hand, raised his head and looked at the mist in front of him, staring all the time.
Now he was still very hesitant in his heart, he was hesitating whether to go over and find out what was true to the owner of the voice...... For some reason, he suddenly wanted to go over, if nothing else, to see who was on the other side.
"Daddy, let's go. ”
Bai Yecai was just a little stunned, and when he came to his senses, he was surprised to find that he was directly held by his own little girl, and walked towards the front.
This couldn't help but surprise Bai Ye, especially when he found that he wanted to stop and break free of Crispy's hand, he didn't have the strength to make a move......
This is a very subtle sense of powerlessness, in the feeling of the white night, it is as if, as if there is a force in the underworld, which suppresses and suppresses his power invisibly, so that he cannot exert the slightest bit of his strength in the face of his daughter.
That is to say, the reason why he can't break free is not because his strength is not strong enough, nor is it because of the strength of Crispy or something.
The real reason is because in such a place, there is a strange rule, it is like a law, it stipulates that the crispy is the absolute master here, the existence that can suppress everything.
So if you want to oppose her, Bai Ye, who can be regarded as a father, can't do it, and others can't do it...... Of course, for now, this is just a conjecture of the white night.
But since Crispy had already pulled him forward, he didn't need to refuse. It's one thing to have such a discovery, but the other side of the Exploration Bridge can be considered a problem.
In the gray mist, Bai Ye led Bai Susu, walking step by step on this arched bridge that was not too long, and in that silence, only the footsteps of their father and daughter could be heard.
"Young man, do you want a bowl of soup? It's just out of the pot, but it's still hot. ”
......
Standing in front of a wooden table, Bai Ye rolled up the sleeves of his tattered clothes, and used them to gently wipe the dust on the wooden bench for Bai Crispy.
In the face of the mysterious woman's greeting again, Bai Ye's reaction was different from ordinary people, he did not rush to answer, but carefully wiped the long wooden bench with his broken sleeve, acting as if he couldn't hear the woman's voice at all.
As for the woman's appearance, he remembered it very clearly at a glance. She was dressed in a long dress, which was not very luxurious, how beautiful, and even had a few patches that were just right.
But even so, the dark red color of the whole body was almost like blood drying up, and combined with the gray mist around her, it could always give people an inexplicable and terrifying feeling.
And her makeup is very simple, without too much whitewashing, and there is no gorgeous and graceful appearance. She just tied up her hair simply, and then let the rest of the three thousand green silks fall down at will, slowly trembling.
But even if this woman hasn't dressed up much, she can belong to the type of existence that is naturally beautiful. Just a few simple movements of stirring in the pot with a soup spoon, she can show her unique lazy beauty to the fullest.
And her appearance made Bai Ye a little disappointed. It's just that the soup maker he once saw by the bridge is an old woman, so Bai Ye can be regarded as knowing through all kinds of details, and what he sees in front of him is not what he wants to see.
"This girl, let me take the liberty of asking, I wonder what soup is boiling in your pot?"
"I don't know how long I've been boiling soup here, and I can't remember the name of the soup. But it does taste delicious, and it is the specialty of the old body, young man, would you like to taste it?"
Soon after Bai Ye's words fell, the woman took a pottery bowl from the stove with her free hand, and with a light movement of her wrist, the soup spoon flew a few times, leaving many afterimages in the air, and then presented a bowl of beige soup in front of Bai Ye.
Bai Ye raised her head, but saw that she had already put down the soup spoon in her hand, and was hanging her hands, looking at him calmly, smiling, and looking like she had an excellent service attitude.
"I don't know what kind of road this road is, but what is the name...... What kind of bridge is this bridge, and does it have any name?"
Bai Ye put down the pottery bowl in his hand, and he wiped his mouth with his sleeve with a big grin, without any politeness at all. And before the woman could answer, Bai Ye spoke again and continued to speak.
"By the way, excuse me, please add a pair of chopsticks to my little guy. It's a good soup, but there's no need for any more. ”
"It's been too long, and the old man himself doesn't know what the name of this road is. But maybe the old body once remembered, but now, I'm afraid I can't remember it. ”
The woman opened her mouth, and a hoarse voice full of vicissitudes sounded. It's just that as she spoke, she had already put a pair of chopsticks and a clay bowl in front of Bai Susu, she smiled and watched Bai Susu feast, and then did not forget to continue to explain to Bai Ye.
As for the bridge, the old body has forgotten it. But there are words on this bridge, and if the old man remembers correctly, it should be the name of this bridge. ”
"First ......"
Listening to this woman's words, Bai Ye was silent, he turned his head, and tried to open his eyes, wanting to see the mist, wanting to see through its barrier, and then look at the bluestone bridge that had been completely covered by it.
But soon he was disappointed, because no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through the fog and take another look at the bluestone bridge. So he had no choice but to turn around and give up on this idea.
"But I just want to take a look, for the sake of you being the first customer in these days, the old body can still help you. ”
With that, Bai Ye saw the woman stretch out her hand and wave it at the mist in the distance. Her movements were simple, and her meaning was clear, as if she was saying to give way to these fogs, and what Bai Ye saw was also very simple.
All he saw was the fog that he had secretly tried to break through with all his might, and under the guidance of this woman's gesture, it silently dispersed.
"It's been a long time, so do you remember your name?"
"Of course I don't remember, it's been too long...... It's been so long that I can't even remember what my name is. It's just that in the past, I remember that people used to come to me a lot in the beginning. ”
"I remember they didn't talk much, but they seemed to like my soup...... It's just that there were quite a lot of people at the beginning, but now it's basically gone. ”
"So you haven't been here for a long time?"
"Yes, it's been a long time...... It's been a long time, and no one has been here for a long time. It's been so long in this world that I've forgotten my name...... But before, someone called me something like Meng Da Beauty. ”
............
"Uh......"
Speaking of this, Bai Ye couldn't help but be silent. When this woman spoke, he couldn't help but have some guesses, although the woman at the beginning, although she was an old woman, she was also surnamed Meng.
Both of them are engaged in boiling soup and soup, and they both set up stalls in front of the bridge...... And everything here is mostly similar to the place where he once was.
For a while, even in the white night, I couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Now he kind of felt like he really couldn't see through what was in front of him.
"What kind of place is this?"
"Daddy, this place is very simple, it is the most beautiful place in the pastry. It's strange why you're always suspicious. ”
"Forehead ......"
I really couldn't think of a penetration, Bai Ye didn't hold back, and simply muttered to himself, expressing his inner doubts in this way. But Bai Susu's words made him a little speechless.
Although in his opinion, a child is a child, and some words cannot be taken too seriously, but when the white crispy fingertips glowed with a hint of dark blue, he suddenly began to feel that things were starting to become not simple.
"It's ......"
At this moment, as Bai Shusu put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and directed the dance with his hands, driving the blue mangs of his fingertips to move, not only Bai Ye, but even the woman who claimed to be surnamed Meng was a little stunned.
However, Bai Susu's side did a lot of tricks in a hurry, which made Bai Ye stunned and even convinced.
In Bai Ye's opinion, the difficulty of clearing the clouds and fog here is no less than asking him to find a character left over from the Flood Era to fight fiercely. But now, right before his eyes, his daughter, with her blue fingers, did it.
Talking and laughing, he stretched out his hand to explore the clouds, and the clouds dissipated with a snap of his fingers......
And the white night, at the moment when the clouds and fog dissipated, in the clear river water, with the light of the sudden stars in the sky, I saw a reflection in the water, which were two big characters - Nai.
