Chapter 20 Appropriation
There was an awkward aura wafting in the air, and Li You sat on the ground still hugging Sister Hua's legs, for fear that she would change her mind. And Peng Lao scratched his scalp and fell into deep thought.
"Old Peng, I just said it casually." Li You tugged at Sister Hua's pants and turned her head and said.
But Peng Lao shook his head and said: "Before this matter is revealed, I can't tell who is right and who is wrong, it seems that it is really necessary to go to Lan Lan to ask." ”
Li You looked up at Sister Hua and found that she was staring at the dark green tent in a daze, and she suddenly lowered her head, startling Li You.
"Okay, let go, I'll not talk about it for now." After speaking, Sister Hua moved her gaze to Peng Lao and said, "Okay, I'll give you a chance to see what you can ask." ”
Li You let go of his hand a little suspiciously, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he hurriedly grabbed her belt and said, "You must not say it, otherwise I am afraid that the people outside will eat and skin Peng Lao alive!" ”
"Alright, let go, your pants are about to be ripped off. Besides, cannibalism hasn't happened before. ”
The first sentence sounds okay, but the latter one is a little unacceptable to Li You. He slowly stood up from the ground, his eyes still resting on Sister Hua outside the gap in the tent.
"Young man, I really wanted to thank you for waking me up." Peng Lao wiped away the tears that remained on his face and said.
However, Li You was even more worried about what might happen in the future, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid that things are not so simple." Mr. Peng, do you have any plans now? ”
"I haven't thought about the plan yet, there are too many unknown variables, so I can only wait and see." Peng Lao looked at Li You, who was a little haggard, and continued: "You go back and rest first, after all, you haven't slept well since you came here." ”
"It's okay, I'll be able to hold out for a while."
"Like Shuangzi, you know how to brace hard", after speaking, Peng Lao got up from the chair and said to Li You: "It's better to rest, if your thing is fully charged, quickly leave the place of right and wrong." After all, it's none of your business. ”
"Why doesn't it matter? If it weren't for me, Yuan Lao would ......"
Peng Lao hurriedly interrupted him and said, "You don't belong here, you should go back to your place." ”
Yes, I don't belong here, but does my own world have my place? Every time Li You thinks about his belonging, he can't help but feel sad. Even in his own world, he still doesn't have a place for himself.
Peng is more than half a hundred years old and has read countless people, so he can see what Li You thinks at a glance, and said meaningfully: "Actually, this life is a huge testing ground, and we are those guinea pigs." But as long as you find your place, your heart will be more or less comfortable. ”
"Do you want to find your place now? I'm only twenty years old, isn't it a bit early? ”
Hearing what Li You said, Peng Lao sighed, put the glasses on the table back on, and said calmly, "Then go and enjoy the process." ”
After leaving the tent, Li You looked at the words on the "key" in his hand that still hadn't changed, and his mood was extremely low. Thinking about what Li You No. 1 had said to himself, he couldn't help but scold him secretly. You can't say something nice, and if you say it's dangerous, it's coming.
He stuffed the "key" back into his pocket and looked up for Sister Hua, wanting to ask himself where he slept tonight. Inadvertently swept across the open space in the east, and a group of children were sitting around drawing on the ground.
And the person standing behind them turned out to be the man in a suit he had met in the previous world, his eyes were fixed on the children, but he kept drawing something in his hands.
"What's the situation?" Li You hurriedly rubbed his eyes, hoping that this was all his hallucination. When he opened his eyes again, the man was gone.
He took two quick steps, skirting the children at play, and looked towards the spot he had just made in his head. On the pressed solid ground, a piece of paper blown by the wind proves that the man in the suit has indeed appeared.
I picked it up and looked at it tremblingly, and the content on the paper was still the same as the landscape painting in the previous painting, bare mountains and no grass. Densely packed with stones, scattered all over the ground.
"Why did you give me two identical paintings?" He muttered something in a whisper, and an idea popped into his head. hurriedly turned around and ran towards Peng Lao's tent, and bumped into Sister Hua who had just come behind him.
"Eh, slow down", Sister Hua rubbed her head, looked at Li You's panicked face, frowned and said, "Why are you so nervous, what's going on?" ”
Li You hurriedly said: "I thought of something and I had to ask Peng Lao." After speaking, he walked quickly towards the tent, and there was a shout from behind him.
"Hey! Tonight you will sleep in the tent next to Peng's old tent, which is my brother's. ”
Walking into the tent, Peng Lao was preparing his bags for departure, Li You coughed lightly, went around to him and said, "Peng Lao, look at the place in this painting, do you have any impression?" ”
After taking the painting, Peng Lao said without thinking: "This is the place where Lan Lan was banished, at the border, but it is a little different." ”
"Different?"
Peng Lao turned around and sat on the bed, lifted his glasses and said, "Look, I don't remember that there are so many stones in this position." Eh, where did you get the painting? ”
"It's hard to put into words, you're sure the mountains in this painting are this world, right?"
"I'm sure it was a few years ago, but I'll never forget that place."
What Li You was most worried about still happened, what conspiracy did the man in the suit who appeared frequently and why did he keep following him? The questions were coming at him like a sea of questions, but they couldn't be answered, and they were about to drive him crazy.
"Old Peng, I'll accompany you tomorrow."
Peng Lao glanced at him, hesitated, and opened his mouth to speak. And Li You didn't give him this opportunity and quickly left the tent.
In Shuangzi's tent, Li You ate a few wild fruits and lay down on the bed. It's very clean, it should be cleaned by Sister Hua, and he has never been able to understand this rare brother-sister friendship between them, even if he has a younger sister. Thinking about it, my eyelids sank.
When the sun rose in the east, the sunlight came in through the window of the tent and sprinkled on Li You's face. He has never had the habit of waking up early, and he has not slept a day since he left his world, and yesterday was the first one.
After stretching his waist, he quickly got dressed, and hurriedly walked towards Peng Lao's tent. When he entered the room and found an empty bed, he patted his head and said that he shouldn't have slept last night, and he should have expected this old man to come to this hand.
I hurriedly went out and saw Sister Hua who came over.
"What's wrong with you, where is Old Peng?" Sister Hua saw his solemn expression and asked with a yawn.
"Let's go, I must not want to drag us down to find Li Xianglan by ourselves."
Sister Hua was still sleepy, but when she learned that Peng Lao was gone, her temper came up at once, and she said angrily: "This old man, why is he still serious when he stumbles two sentences?" No, it's very dangerous out there, he can't deal with it, do you know where he might go? ”
Li You hurriedly took out the crumpled paper from his pocket and said, "It should be here." ”
