Chapter 23: An unexpected encounter with Hou Yi
Ren Zhonghui lies quietly in the rescue pod, his eyes closed, looking like a dead man, but his brain is active, which is also reflected in the computer screen next to the rescue pod, which is linked to his brain, and at this moment, the computer screen shows his memories - or dreams:
25 years ago, Ren Zhonghui was 10 years old, when his father was a computer expert, he had just founded Huayuanda Company, he was usually busy with work, and he rarely had time to accompany him at home. One of the games he used to play at that time was a virtual life game. Through this game, he got to know many characters from Chinese history or traditional novels, such as Hou Yi, Nezha, the Cowherd, and the Weaver Girl......
After two years like this, his mother died, his father and he were very sad, his father took him, drove all the way to the northwest, wandered aimlessly, and went deep into the uninhabited area of northern Tibet, on the plateau at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, his father found a small turntable with a handle engraved with strange words, and his father analyzed it for a long time through computer software, and only recognized four words: mysterious events.
One night, Ren Zhonghui was sleeping in bed, and was awakened by a snoring sound, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the small turntable was surrounded by bright light, and it was automatically rotating rapidly, and as it rotated, its volume was slowly increasing; When it grew to the size of a bucket, Ren Zhonghui felt a strong cool breeze passing in front of him, and it seemed that the rotation caused the turntable to produce a vortex, and even the quilt covering his body had been sucked in.
"Daddy, Daddy!" Ren Zhonghui was scared in his heart, and hurriedly shouted to his father who was sleeping next to him, "Wake up!" Wake up! ”
"What's wrong, Zhonghui?" Ren Dahua rubbed his eyes, only glanced at the turntable, and then bounced up from the bed.
By this time, the turntable had grown to a diameter of more than two meters, almost reaching the ceiling of the room, and the sheets they were lying on had been sucked into a corner. The vortex was getting stronger and stronger, and Ren Zhonghui was driven by the sheets and approached the turntable. Ren Dahua hurriedly rushed over and hugged Ren Zhonghui, and the two were sucked into the turntable together.
The turntable was full of light, connecting the dark and deep tunnel, and the bright light was looming in front of him, but Ren Zhonghui, who was spinning rapidly, had been driven forward by a huge vortex, but the tunnel seemed to have no end, and gradually, Ren Zhonghui felt that his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred, and finally lost consciousness.
When Ren Zhonghui regained consciousness, he found himself lying in a canyon, with his father next to him, and when he looked up again, there was a blue dome in the distance above his head, as if he was in an aquarium.
"Dad!" Ren Zhonghui pushed his father.
"Zhonghui!" Ren Dahua sat up and reflexively hugged Ren Zhonghui.
"Dad, Dad, I'm out of breath."
Only then did Ren Dahua come back to his senses and let go of Ren Zhonghui. The two stood up, and Ren Dahua looked around again, and saw that his son and himself were unscathed, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where is this?" Ren Zhonghui looked around curiously and asked his father.
Ren Dahua shook his head, and when he saw that there was a road ahead, he said to his son: "Let's go, see if there is anyone, ask ......"
The two of them walked along the canyon and entered a paradise. People dress in a variety of ways, including Tang costumes, Hanfu costumes, and Western-style clothes that they don't know the specific era.
Ren Dahua and his son walked into a relatively modern small hotel on the side of the road, he asked the owner of the hotel, and learned that the boss was also inexplicable, before coming here, the boss opened a small hotel in Lijiang, one night, a female guest lived in the hotel, not long after the female guest stayed, the hotel fire, the boss found the female guest fainted in the room when he escaped, and hurriedly ran in to pick up the female guest and ran out, but the fire had blocked the way, the fire burned to the side, the boss also fainted, and when he woke upand found himself here. But the woman was gone. The owner quickly returned to his old business and opened the hotel.
In this paradise, Ren Zhonghui has seen many historical figures, and there are also many characters that only appear in love legends or stories, such as: Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Tang Minghuang and Yang Guifei, Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun, Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu...... They all seem to have their own circles of life and do not interfere with each other. Ren Dahua tried to understand them, but it was a pity that at the critical moment, Ren Dahua and his son would always have one situation or another, and they could never enter their life circle...... Once, after Ren Zhonghui was asleep, Ren Dahua secretly ran to the primitive social area, where there were thatched huts, and during the day he saw a person from a distance outside this area surrounded by a wooden fence. The man was patrolling with a bow on his back and a white tiger, and his mighty and grotesque appearance attracted him.
"They should have been the first to come here," Ren thought to himself, "maybe they know something." ”
"Who?" I broke off with a drink.
Ren Dahua stood there and saw the man coming over on a white tiger.
"I ...... My name is Ren Dahua. Ren Dahua smiled flatteringly, "Big brother, how long have you been here?" ”
"I can't remember......," the man strangled the white tiger and stopped a few meters away from Ren Dahua, "This is our territory, you shouldn't come, especially at night." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm lost!"
"You're new here, aren't you?"
"yes, what kind of place is this? It seems that people of any age and place have ......"
"I don't know what this place is...... Alright, let's go! ”
"Okay, okay, I'll go...... By the way, who divides these areas? ”
"I don't know, when we first came, this was like this, divided into different areas, with different buildings, and everyone volunteered to live in different areas according to their own living habits."
"Oh, I see...... I didn't ask the eldest brother, your surname is ......"
"I am the leader of the poor clan, and I have a single name and a Yi character ......"
"You're Hou Yi?!" Ren Dahua exclaimed.
"Yes, Brother Tai actually knows me?"
"Don't you know!"
Ren Dahua then told Hou Yi the legend of Hou Yi's shooting sun, and Hou Yi laughed when he heard it.
"Where are the 9 suns! I used to think so, but when I got here, I watched the museum's popular science, and I recalled the scene of that day, and I understood that the 8 people who were shot to death were not the sun at all, but 8 alien spaceships, and they were not shot to death, but they just saw that we had no place worth communicating, and left. ”
"Big brother...... Don't be kidding me! Ren Dahua will be skeptical.
"No kidding, don't believe me I'll take you to the museum tomorrow! Alright, it's getting late, let's go! ”
"Okay, I'll go, big brother, we'll see you at the museum tomorrow."
Hou Yi nodded.
Ren Dahua turned to leave, Hou Yi patted the white tiger's buttocks, and the white tiger carried Hou Yi slowly and continued to patrol.
