Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

Is there any other mystery in this? Or maybe Cui Li never left the Strange Array at all, if he really left, but why did he appear here, all the questions puzzled me...

When I thought I knew the answer, I realized I didn't know anything...

When I looked at Cui Li and wondered why he didn't leave the Qi Array, I found that Cui Li's face was not a little shocked, but looked at me extremely calmly and said, "It's useless, I have tried many times after that, but I have not succeeded once." ”

"But I don't understand one thing, since you said that you have left the Strange Array, why did you come back here?" I looked at Cui Li, and there was great confusion in my eyes.

I stared at Cui Li in front of me, although I couldn't tell from his appearance, but was he really Cui Li? Since the sudden hour in the Yuxin Qinyu, there has been no news, and now there is a sudden standing in front of me, the reason for this has to make people wonder, not to mention that he actually said that he had left the strange formation, so in this case, what is the purpose of coming back? A big question mark appeared in my mind, and all the questions pointed to Cui Li in front of me at the same time. I stared, just waiting for a plausible answer.

Cui Li seemed very natural: "To be honest, I don't want to come back here, but when I left the Qi Array, I found that the door of the light house was not opened, and I realized that I hadn't really left here, just when I was depressed, suddenly there was a bright light in front of me, which made me unable to open my eyes, just like when I first came in, when I opened my eyes again, you had already left the Youxin Qinyu." ”

"You're back in the heart of the heart? But Yiling City has been under martial law, how can you leave Yiling City on your own? "The doubts in my mind have not been completely dispelled.

"Thanks to you, since you broke out of Yiling City, the guards at the city gate have been a lot lax, and it is not difficult for me to get out of the city. Cui Li's tone was no different from usual.

"You—" I pondered for a moment and asked, "How are your grades in literature?" ”

"Cheng Yin, you are playing me, what kind of profession do I have, don't you know? What kind of literature major, you obviously know that I don't read literature books..."Cui Li stopped as he spoke.

I saw that Cui Li was anxious, and I was sure that the Cui Li in front of me was the real Cui Li, so what he said before was also true, but why did he leave the strange array when he touched the button on the bracelet? I wanted to take off the bracelet on my hand to take a closer look, but it was only at this time that I realized that the bracelet on my hand could not be taken off at all, as if it was fixed on my wrist.

"What's going on? How so? I looked at the bracelet on my wrist in amazement.

"Don't try, it's useless." Listening to Cui Li's tone, he should have tried many times.

The procession of lion dancers weaves through the crowd, and the people stop to watch. The delicacies on the wooden table are already in place, and the aroma is tangy.

The noisy streets are still full of people, the festive atmosphere brings great joy to everyone in the town, the sun begins to set slowly, every house is at the door, hanging colorful lights, colorful, colorful, the feeling of the festival is instantly highlighted, the crowd on the street begins to walk towards the rows of wooden tables, ready to feast.

When Cui Li and I were still wondering about the bracelet, an elderly man walked up to us: "Friends from afar, why don't you sit together?"

"No, we're not the people of this town, and we're about to leave here, so we won't bother anymore." At this time, I didn't have the heart to eat at all.

"Shaoxia, this is a bad word, since we have come to this town, that is, our friends, friends have come from afar, we don't welcome them well, is it rude." The old man said with a smile.

"Old man, if the two of us are still here, we really can't stop again, and we are about to leave quickly, we understand your kindness." I said.

"Shaoxia, you see it's getting late today, let's set off tomorrow and hurry, I think the two of you must be hungry, or let's have a table together, what do you think?" The old man spoke sincerely.

"I said Cheng Yin, why don't we eat something here first, and we can hurry tomorrow, right?" Cui Li also said on the side.

In this case, in the face of such hospitality, I really can't refuse, and if we deliberately refuse, I'm afraid we will lose our courtesy.

"Well, since the old man is so gracious, if I still refuse, it will be a little unkind." I said respectfully.

It was almost dusk, the moon hung on the willow tree, most of the people in the town had been made by the long wooden table, there was no chopsticks, only a few children from time to time with their hands on the table of the dishes to eat first, the parents next to them saw this, and quickly on the back of their hands lightly scared a few times, and then whispered, the children put the dishes in their hands back on the plate.

"Who are you waiting for?" I asked the old man beside me.

"Shaoxia, I don't know, we are waiting for the oldest old man in the town, and someone has already gone to help him, because of his age, his legs and feet are inconvenient, so he came a little later." The old man said.

Cui Li and I also didn't move the chopsticks, since we came to other people's towns, we naturally had to abide by their rules, and after a long time, we still didn't see the old man.

The children at the wooden table couldn't wait, did they want to get the dishes on the table again, but were stopped by the elders, at this moment several light men supported an old man who looked drooping and sat on the seat of the long table, the old man looked at everyone, said something, but couldn't say, he slowly picked up the chopsticks handed by others, and knocked on the table in front of him, and the man next to the old man suddenly shouted: "Open the table!! ”

When the children heard these two words, they immediately couldn't wait to pick up the dishes on the plate and eat them, and the adults around them exchanged a few words of greeting and eating. Suddenly, the atmosphere was much more lively. Everyone ate and talked, Cui Li and I didn't speak, picked up the chopsticks and started eating, since coming to this strange array, the time of eating is completely unfixed, and I have long been hungry, seeing so many dishes, I naturally gulped down, completely ignoring the eyes of the people around me.

The night is getting deeper, but the feast has just begun...
