Chapter 10: Goodbye, Surface
It was as if a frost and rain were falling from the sky, and the small courtyard that had just been blown by the spring breeze suddenly became cold, not only the white-skinned and light-skinned of some dropped their jaws when they heard the words, but even Xingli, who had been focusing on watching the night sky, turned his head and looked at Yuwei with a rather playful look.
Yu Wei calmly tasted tea slowly under the strange gaze of everyone, the enemy is weak and I am weak, the enemy is strong and I am strong, and the waves that she has always been proud of finally returned to her at this time.
Da Shizi looked at Yu Wei with a calm face, and took the lead in breaking the unconcealable embarrassment, only to see him slowly stand up and look at the night sky in the distance, and said in a voice that was not in a hurry: "Miss Yu Wei asked very reasonably, it seems that Miss Yu Wei knows very little about our earth's heart, although we have rich resources here, cherish all the treasures, but there is no sunrise and moonset." ”
Da Shizi showed a look of fascination: "Our ancestors of the center of the earth also lived on the surface of the earth at the earliest, they moved here to escape the devastating disaster, when our ancestors first came to the center of the earth, there was only a darkness here, in order to make the center of the earth suitable for the people to live, the ancestors concentrated on building an artificial firmament, and installed a huge spotlight made of various gems on the top of the artificial firmament, and then used the control of these spotlights to achieve the alternation of day and night, just like Miss Yuwei said, Our night sky is not perfect, but we can see in this imperfect night sky the faith and determination of our ancestors who never succumbed to the fate of nature! ”
"What? This starry sky was artificially created by your ancestors in the center of the earth? Yuwei asked incredulously.
"Yes, our Ancestor of the Center of the Earth not only led the people to escape from the darkness of the human heart, but also led the people to drive away the darkness of the environment!" The great prince turned around.
"Huh?" Yu Wei didn't care about the gaze of the eldest prince looking at her, and opened her mouth wide in shock, what kind of great people are the ancestors of the center of the earth! What an amazing piece of technology this is! She subconsciously raised her head to look at the night sky, and her face showed an expression of fascination.
Da Shizi sat back on the stone bench elegantly, and continued to Yuwei while pouring tea: "The night here is not beautiful, the night on Qinghua Mountain is the most beautiful, it is not only the closest mountain to the sky, but also the sacred mountain in the center of our earth, where there are countless intoxicating strange landscapes, and when Miss Yuwei recovers, I would like to accompany the girl to take a look there." ”
Yu Wei listened to the big prince talk like a spring breeze and couldn't help but add a trace of admiration in her heart, the ability to eliminate this embarrassment into the invisible is definitely not something that ordinary traffic Xiaosheng can have, she really looked away just now, this person is not only beautiful but also wise, such a person who has both skin and ability is not narcissistic but really hell.
In the face of Da Shizi's sincere invitation, Yu Wei was completely defeated, and she basically had no chance of winning against such a person with high emotional intelligence. Just as she was about to agree, Qing Xu came over with a medicine cup: "It's time for the girl to drink the medicine!" As she spoke, she put the medicine cup in front of her, and she had to hold the medicine cup in front of everyone, and it went into her stomach quite chicly.
After a short while, Yu Wei yawned unreservedly under everyone's chat, and she looked at everyone apologetically, only to find that the corners of the ice cube face's mouth showed a hint of pride. Oh no, she glared at the ice cube face fiercely, she must have been on this ice cube face again, as for why she doesn't know, but what is worth her happiness is that she has also been freed, she no longer has to be entangled with this great prince with both appearance and wisdom, she said sorry to everyone in a dignified manner, and then under the care of everyone, Bai Xi and Qing Xu helped her back to the room to rest.
The night has not completely faded, Yu Wei got out of bed early under the drive of a burst of hunger, she washed hastily, then walked to the stone table and sat down, there was a peach tree carved from jade on the stone table, and there were two plump peaches hanging on the branches of the peach tree, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and her stomach also followed the grunt, grunt, she pressed her stomach and took a deep breath, it seems that she was born with their royal mansion, the last time she met the county lord, Such a wonderful black tea only smelled the taste, this time I met the great prince, a delicious dinner was replaced by a soothing soup, I really can't imagine, if I meet King Erdo next time, what kind of sad ending will it be?
"Yuwei!" Just as she was whining hungrily, Lin Mo followed Qing Xu, who went to the kitchen, and walked in with a food box, "I'm hungry!" Lin Mo asked with a smile while busy helping Qing Xu set up the dishes and chopsticks.
Yu Wei nodded, then took a piece of sweet and soft dessert with her hand and stuffed it in her mouth like a hungry ghost, and then took the jade bamboo porridge handed over by Lin Mo and pulled it into her mouth, just like that, she took the appearance of Zhu Bajie when she ate ginseng fruit, and ate the most delicious breakfast in her life. When she saw everyone's stunned eyes after she had eaten, she realized that the food on the stone table had been scattered by her, and she stood up and wanted to go to the bookcase to get a book to cover up her embarrassment.
"Yuwei!" Lin Mo, who had been standing beside her, called out to her.
"Lin Mo!" Yu Wei realized that Lin Mo, who had been missing for a few days, had returned, she quickly turned around, grabbed Lin Mo's arm and looked left and right, "How are you?" Are there any injuries? ”
"Nope." Lin Mo looked at her with a smile on his face, as if he was looking at another piece of treasure that he had treasured for many years and had recovered.
"Really not hurt?" Yu Wei looked concerned.
"Hmm!" Lin Mo nodded.
"You've been missing for a few days, I've been looking for you for a few days, but they all said they didn't know where you were, if it wasn't for Xiaoxi's leakage, I wouldn't know that it was that ice cube face that locked you up for no reason, I have no relatives here, no friends, only you, you must not leave myself here!" Yuwei's face was full of melancholy.
"How could I leave you alone? Even if I were to leave the whole world, I would not be able to leave you! Lin Mo listened to Yu Wei's chatter with a happy face.
"That's what you said, you can't go back!" Yu Wei leaned on Lin Mo's shoulder and said coquettishly, after eight years, she has become accustomed to the company of this man, at this moment she is no longer the same Yu Wei who despises everything before, she is like a duckweed floating on the river, looking for the only one who can rely on her in this strange world.
"Yuwei! Would you like to see something coming from our surface? Lin Mo smiled all over his face.
"Something on the surface?" Yu Wei was a little stunned.
"Yes, it's what we're on the surface that washed down with the mudslide, and I heard Konishi say yesterday that the riverbank has been renovated, and they're going to pull away the debris that was cleared from the riverbank today." Lin Mo looked at Yu Wei, "I think you might want to see them again, maybe we won't see anything related to the surface in the future?" ”
"Maybe we'll never see anything to do with the surface again?" Yu Wei muttered and repeated, yes! On the surface, she hadn't thought of this familiar and distant word for a long time, and she couldn't help but be sour for a while by Lin Mo's sad proposal, but she had to admit that their hope of going back was really as slim as fishing for the moon in water.
Yu Wei followed Lin Mo, supported by Bai Xi and Qing Xu to the bank of the inland river, this was the first time she saw this inland river, only to see the river flowing rapidly along the mountain, straight to the end of the sky, the waves crashing on the shore, the water was sparkling, not losing the momentum of the Yangtze River at all.
On a gentle slope on the bank of the river, there are some rocks and broken trees placed horizontally, Yu Wei walked over gently, looking at the ancient pines that have been broken but are still proud, these are the trees and rocks of the surface natural scenery reserve, and they used to be the protagonists of the camera competition when they played, but now, like her, they have come to a place that does not belong to them with an inexplicable disaster, they have left their homeland and lost their vitality, and one day, they may become a cornerstone on the stone wall, But they will never be the enviable scenery that towers over the cliffs and looks like they are in the clouds.
Yuwei sat on the stone sadly, thinking of Liu Li, who was fast-talking, and Liu Yiwen, who was always teasing and joking, I don't know how they are now? Will she be able to escape this fate like her?
Since she woke up in the center of the earth, she has been worried about coming to a place that may never go back, parents, teachers, classmates, friends, these people she usually cherishes and don't cherish have completely disappeared from her side, she really realized at this time how weak human life is in the face of disaster, she and Lin Mo were lucky to survive, but what about the others? Maybe he left this world forever with the mudslide......
"Sister! Why are you here? Are we easy to find? Konishi shouted and came to Yuwei.
Yu Wei turned her head sideways, quietly wiped the tears on her face, and raised her head to hold back the sorrow in her heart, looking at her with a pair of deep and scrutinizing eyes, it was really ghostly! How can you see that annoying ice cube face everywhere you go? She raised her eyebrows and looked at this face defiantly, hoping to have a big quarrel with him like last time, and only a big quarrel could relieve the unspeakable sadness she had suppressed in her heart! Ice Cube Face seemed to see through her thoughts, and after only one look at her, he turned to look at the rushing river.
She was immersed in her own sadness, but she didn't notice that the water in the inland river had risen a lot higher than just now, Xiaoxi happily grabbed Yuwei's hand and said excitedly: "Beautiful sister! Look at the river rising! This is what I just operated with the star to leave the water replenishment temple, this time it was I who opened the valve, but this time the hydration was very successful, you see! The river has returned to its normal water level! ”
"Hydration? What is hydration? Yuwei was confused.
"Water replenishment is to open the valve of the water replenishment temple and divert the water of the surface river to the inland river in the center of our earth, and my sister also came to us because of water replenishment!" Xiaoxi smiled and leaned into Yu Wei's ear, "If it weren't for the hero, I staggered the valve, how could Xingli encounter such a good thing as a hero saving beauty?" He ignored the white eyes of Yu Wei looking at him, and continued seriously: "The inland river is the lifeblood of our geocentric people, so in order to maintain the water volume of the inland river, our ancestors have established a large supply stone gate in the place where the surface water resources are relatively rich, and then according to the loss of the inland river, we will replenish the inland river every once in a while, because all the inland rivers in our geocenter are connected, so we will choose the water area with more precipitation and good water quality for inland river replenishment every time, This will not only help divert water from areas with high precipitation on your surface, but also help reduce the occurrence of natural disasters such as floods on your surface. ”
"So you're still an unsung hero!" Listening to Xiaoxi's fallacy, Yuwei said indignantly: "The supply is good, why are there so many crooked reasons?" The surface water cycle is self-contained, so why worry about it? Every year there is a flood on the surface, maybe it's you who are doing you a favor? ”
After speaking, she glanced at Xiao Xi, who was already stunned, shouted Lin Mo, and left with Bai Xi and Qing Xi without looking back.
