Chapter 37: Lin Qingyu
After Ning Wushuang and his party followed the man into the house, they each reported their names.
After that, Ning Wushuang couldn't wait to ask, "This big brother, how long have you been in this world?" ”
The man sat down and took a sip of hot tea and replied slowly, "Nine years." ”
At this time, Mu Lajiang, who didn't know that Ning Wushuang and the four were from the "other world", looked at them with a confused expression.
Seeing this, Ning Wushuang simply told Mu Lajiang the facts.
Murajan suddenly realized: "No wonder when I first saw you, your clothes were so strange. ”
Zou Haoyun said to Mu Lajiang embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, uncle, I have been hiding from you for so long. ”
Mu Lajiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's actually not a big deal, everyone has their own secrets." ”
Seeing that Mu Lajiang didn't care, Zou Haoyun breathed a sigh of relief, this life-saving benefactor still has a lot of weight in Zou Haoyun's heart.
Ning Wushuang continued to ask the man, "Big brother, how did you get here?" ”
The man took another sip of hot tea, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly told Ning Wushuang and his party about his experience: "My name is Lin Qingyu..."
Lin Qingyu was originally just an ordinary mechanical engineering college student, and he had a younger brother in addition to his parents. Due to the relatively poor family conditions, Lin Qingyu relied on his spare time to participate in various part-time jobs and study to complete his university studies.
After graduating from university, Lin Qingyu successfully entered a well-known listed company. In order to get his family out of embarrassment, Lin Qingyu worked hard day and night. Lin Qingyu's efforts have also been appreciated by the company's leaders, and he was promoted to an important position in the company in less than two years.
However, fate is always like a naughty child who loves to play tricks on people, and those who are tricked can only be helpless.
It was on the evening of the company's congratulatory banquet for Lin Qingyu's promotion.
Lin Qingyu called his parents and younger brother to the banquet, wanting his family to witness his success.
When Lin Qingyu stood on the stage and gave a promotion speech, watching his parents in the audience applauding him with tears in their eyes, Lin Qingyu finally felt that the bitterness and dedication he had suffered all the way were worth it.
The banquet is coming to an end.
Since Lin Qingyu's younger brother had to go to school the next morning, Lin Qingyu's parents planned to take his younger brother to leave home first. And Lin Qingyu didn't think much about it because there were still many company leaders and colleagues who needed to socialize at the banquet, and after a brief chat with his parents, he drove home with his parents and his younger brother in the car he bought for his father some time ago.
However, an hour later, the ringing of his mobile phone interrupted Lin Qingyu's conversation with the leaders.
"I'm sorry, leader, it's my dad's call."
"Haha, it's fine. Hurry up and pick it up. ”
"Well, good. Excuse me. ”
Lin Qingyu walked to the window of the hotel, looked at the light rain outside the window and answered the phone.
"Hey, Dad. What's wrong? ”
"Is it Mr. Lin Qingyu? Unfortunately, I would like to inform you that your father's vehicle has been involved in a traffic accident, so please hurry to the Municipal People's Hospital now. ”
"Smack"
Lin Qingyu's mobile phone slipped from his hand, and he was stunned in front of the window for two seconds before rushing out of the hotel in a panic.
"By the time I got to the hospital, my parents and my brother were..."
Speaking of this, Lin Qingyu held his head in his hands and kept trembling, and tears kept sliding down his cheeks and falling on the wooden table.
"I'm sorry..."
For such an experience, no matter what words of comfort he said, he seemed pale and powerless, and Ning Wushuang could only apologize with a heavy heart for the fact that his visit touched Lin Qingyu's sadness.
After a long time, Lin Qingyu wiped away his tears and continued to tell everyone about the aftermath.
The main reason for this traffic accident turned out to be that Lin Qingyu's father was so happy at his son's promotion banquet that he drank a lot of wine.
It was originally a drunk driving behavior, coupled with the rain and slippery roads, which caused this tragedy. However, Lin Qingyu blamed all this on himself, believing that he killed his parents and younger brother.
After dealing with the aftermath of his parents and younger brother, Lin Qingyu quit his job and sold all his belongings in the family, including real estate and cars. Only a small amount of money from the sale was left on him, and the rest was donated to the welfare organization.
After that, Lin Qingyu packed his bags and took that small amount of money and began to wander around the country.
From south to north, from east to west, Lin Qingyu walked selflessly, wandered, and searched, hoping to find a way to redeem himself.
"Then one early in the morning. I stood on the cliff and looked down at all the scenery below, and I realized that I was so worthless, so small. Originally, my joys, sorrows, and sorrows may still be valued by my family, but now that I have lost my family, what is the point of these? Witnessed by the rising sun, I jumped off the cliff. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Qingyu's eyes were full of helplessness and loneliness at this time.
He also understands that the spirit of his parents in heaven naturally hopes that he will live well, prove himself to the world well, and shine well in this world.
It's just that every time he closes his eyes, he imagines the scene of a car accident between his parents and his younger brother. Every time I imagine it, it's as if a knife cuts my heart. He really had enough of this kind of torture, he just wanted to get rid of it, he just wanted to escape.
Lin Qingyu, who fell to the bottom of the cliff, could only hear the whistling wind in his ears, he closed his eyes and began to recall the past, and cursed God fiercely in his heart to write this tragic fate for himself.
The suffocation sensation of the high-speed drop caused his brain to start a mess, and he seemed to have auditory hallucinations. Lin Qingyu wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids couldn't move the slightest.
"Why... So long? ”
Lin Qingyu, who had the courage to face death, had a strong sense of uneasiness in the face of this abnormality. However, at the moment, he could only feel that he was indeed falling at a high speed, and that suffocation that had not stopped.
The increasingly strong feeling of suffocation made Lin Qingyu unconscious. When he struggled to open his eyes, he found himself lying unharmed on the beach.
When he opened his eyes, he was still lying on the beach, unable to move, letting the icy waves lap against his body.
I don't know how long it took, Lin Qingyu seemed to have finally regained control of his body, and struggled to get up and look around.
The unfamiliar environment overwhelmed Lin Qingyu, he shouted frantically at the beach, but no one responded to him.
He looked out towards the horizon and saw a glacier in the distance.
"It's not going to be near the North Pole or the South Pole." He hugged his body and shuddered as he left the beach.
After leaving the beach, he looked at the nearby mountains covered with thick white snow.
Since the backpack was left on the cliff, Lin Qingyu had no food on him. I don't know how long he walked against the cold wind, but he finally fainted again after being hungry and cold.
"By the time I woke up again, it was already night. I found myself lying in a cave with an animal skin covered and a warm fire beside me. There was an iron pot on top of the fire, and the soup in the iron pot was constantly boiling and tumbling. At that time, I was thinking to myself, it seems that it is good to be alive. ”
When Lin Qingyu finished saying this, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After waking up, Lin Qingyu couldn't see that there were other people in the cave, and he was so hungry that he couldn't care about any etiquette or anything like that, so he picked up the spoon on the iron pot and kept scooping up the vegetable soup in the pot and devouring it.
After a while, the vegetable soup was wiped out by him.
"Haha, looking at your energetic appearance, it shouldn't be a big deal."
The sudden sound at the entrance of the cave startled Lin Qingyu. Lin Qingyu hurriedly looked over and found that it was an old man with a bow and arrow carrying two rabbits that had been processed.
It seems that this old man saved himself, Lin Qingyu thought to himself.
"Thank you... Yes! Be careful! ”
Lin Qingyu was about to say thanks, but saw a young "polar bear" behind the old man. Although this "polar bear" is not much bigger than a dog, Lin Qingyu naturally does not want his life-saving benefactor to be attacked.
The old man looked back, and couldn't help but smile at Lin Qingyu and said, "Hahaha, young man, don't panic, it's very well-behaved." ”
Then the old man squatted down and touched the "polar bear" and said, "It's called a meat ball, and it's a cold armored bear." The poor worm's parents were preyed upon by another monster not long after it was born, and I saved the beast while it was full and dozing. ”
Lin Qingyu thought in his heart: Meat ball? Although it seems a little cheesy, it is also apt, chubby like a ball. Alas, lost my parents like me? Why are so many tragic things happening in the world? Wait, preyed upon by another monster?
"Warcraft?!"
Lin Qingyu suddenly exclaimed, scaring the old man so much that the rabbit in his hand almost fell off unsteadily.
"What are you doing in a fright? What's so strange about Warcraft eating Warcraft? ”
"Warcraft eats Warcraft... This bear is also a monster?! ”
"I said, don't be surprised, old man, I have a bad heart, wait until I hang up, don't starve to death in this wilderness."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Only, what exactly is Warcraft? ”
"Not only are you young man dressed strangely, but you are also speaking so strangely. Warcraft is, in short, a beast with magical powers. ”
"Demon... Magic? ”
"Don't you even know magic? Where are you from, and why don't you even know what these three-year-olds know? The old man said as he used his magic power to condense a magic arrow.
At this time, Lin Qingyu could no longer describe his state of mind with shock, he could only say that his previous worldview had collapsed, and muttered to himself: "Is this a time travel to another dimension?" ”
Hearing Lin Qingyu say this, Ning Wushuang and the four of them nodded sympathetically. At the beginning, the four of them were shocked for a long time before they came to their senses.
Later, Lin Qingyu told the old man his origin, and the old man looked at Lin Qingyu's strange clothes and his magical mobile phone and believed what he said.
So, the old man also told Lin Qingyu about his identity and some things about this world.
Lin Qingyu learned from the conversation with the old man that the old man's name was Retonis, and he was an adventurer when he was young, but later when he was older, he returned to his hometown to become a hunter, and often went out to hunt, not for money, but purely because he was not convinced of old age.
After that, the old man also took Lin Qingyu back to the city where he lived to find someone who could help others awaken the magic circuit to awaken the magic power for him. However, Lin Qingyu failed, however, he didn't care, because he didn't think about being an adventurer.
Because he is not familiar with the place, Lin Qingyu has been following the old man, learning to hunt and learn the way to survive in this world. Gradually, Lin Qingyu established a deep relationship with the old man and the meat ball. The old man and the meat ball slowly became an indispensable part of his heart.
The two spent three years happily and happily, and Lin Qingyu really hoped to continue to spend time with the old man and Meatball. However, one morning, the old man said goodbye without saying goodbye.
Lin Qingyu and Meatball waited for a long time, but there was still no news from the old man. So, Lin Qingyu, who was not at ease, embarked on a journey with Meatball to find his uncle.
After searching for three years, Lin Qingyu and Meatball went to many cities, and asked the adventurer's guild in every city they visited, but they still couldn't find any trace of the old man.
"Later, I came here. I'm tired and don't want to go, so I want to rest here. Unexpectedly, another three years passed after a break. ”
After speaking, Lin Qingyu looked at the fine snow outside the window through the small window and sighed: "Alas. ”
"Retonis? We'll keep an eye on it for you, and let you know as soon as there's any news from him. Ning Wushuang comforted.
Lin Qingyu smiled helplessly and said, "Thank you." However, Meatball and I don't know how long we will stay here, but I'm afraid that when there is news, Meatball and I have already left. ”
Zou Haoyun pointed to Ning Wushuang's mobile phone and quipped: "If you find it, I'll call you to tell you." ”
Qian Zilai complained: "It's cold enough, don't tell cold jokes." ”
Ning Wushuang asked, "Have you ever planned to find a way to go back to the original world?" ”
Lin Qingyu shook his head and said, "I have no one to rely on when I go back, at least I still have meat balls with me now." But..."
"But?"
