Chapter 2: Extraterrestrial Immortals
It was a dark and windy night, and when it comes to "dark moon and high wind", people always think of "murder night" at the first moment. However, this damn "murder night" is still raining continuously, the bean-sized raindrops have not stopped, hitting people like being smashed by a pigeon's egg-sized stone, such a rainy night, a killer, even if he wanted to do two orders with interest a moment ago, at this moment I am afraid that I have to think about hiding at home and hugging my daughter-in-law.
It was not late at night, but the streets were long gone.
In a humble house on the east side of the street, candlelight flickered, and a black cat hiding from the rain under the eaves overheard a conversation between a man and a woman.
"Baby, let's see if it's this?" a man with a thick local accent said this.
The black cat seemed curious, jumped on the windowsill, leaned on the window, and stared at the two of them. However, a man and a woman in the room did not notice the black cat at all, and only stared intently at an old piece of brown paper on the table with round eyes. The baby lying on the bed next to him looked at the black cat happily and giggled from time to time.
The rain was so heavy that there was some water leakage in the house, and a few drops fell on the brown paper. The husband and wife hurriedly took away the brown paper, and the woman carefully wiped it with her sleeve and said, "Yes! This is the picture I saw last time when I was cleaning the study outside Wang Yuanwai, and then I went out to clean the window, and I heard Wang Yuanwai talking to a foreign nobleman inside...... "The man didn't want to listen to irrelevant words, so he interrupted his wife's chatter impatiently, and asked directly: "Is there really a baby?!" The woman glanced at the man, and hammered her hand to the man's chest and said: "Why don't you believe it? I have been wiping the window outside for an hour......", the man said strangely, "Not found?". The woman stalked and said, "Probably not...... was blocked by the screen, and I didn't make a sound. I guess I forgot about it. The man was silent and continued to look down at the picture, and the woman saw that the man was silent, and said a little dissatisfied: "What the hell is going on, can you understand it?!" The man's brows furrowed.
The husband and wife are both domestic servants of the king's foreign family, and they are also the domestic servants of many foreign employees, doing short-term work, including food and housing. Women who can't read a single word usually wipe their desks and windowsills or something; men have studied for a few years, but their families really don't have money to support them, so they can only stop their studies early to make a living.
That day, the woman didn't pay much attention to this picture, but then the staff came from the main hall and took someone to the study, she happened to go out from the side door to clean the window, and the three of them just missed it, and the woman just heard the word "treasure", so she carefully wiped the window of "one hour". After returning home, the couple spent a total of three days and three nights, and the final decision was: the woman told the man the exact location of the "treasure map", and the man took brown paper to copy the map. The strength of the man is buried in the usual water and chopping wood, and what he is really doing is unforgettable. So he found the original picture, took only a cup of tea, memorized it, and then returned home and immediately drew it according to his memory. As for what is drawn...... What does that mean...... They feel that they still need to think about it.
The husband and wife stared at each other and were stunned for a long time, and then the man patted his thigh and said, "Why did I forget Niu Er!" When the woman heard this name, she immediately smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes, find him!" He has been hunting and being a guide all year round, and he will definitely understand!"
Saying that it was too late and that was too fast, the man couldn't help but say, took a yellow paper umbrella and rushed out, alarming the sleepy black cat. The cat barked in fright. "This dead cat!" the woman glanced at the cat and underestimated it, then remembered something, rushed out the door, and yelled at the man's back: "Go directly, don't come back if you can't find it!" The man waved his hand backwards and hurriedly ran towards Niu Er's house.
Niu Er naturally lived up to expectations and understood the map, and compared with the man's hands and feet for a long time. Knowing the route, the man rushed out of the room and disappeared into the rain. And Niu Er originally had a sentence in his mouth, but he didn't have time to say it, and he held it for a long time before he said to himself: "This is the direction to Changling......"
It is said that after the man learned the direction, he braved the heavy rain and ran towards the place of the so-called treasure, and the yellow paper umbrella was smashed through several skeletons by the rain, and half of the clothes on the running body were soaked...... It doesn't matter, everything doesn't matter, the treasure is right in front of you.
Why are you so obsessed with Wang Yuanwai's treasures? Because Wang Yuanwai inexplicably made a fortune by making a windfall. That windfall is said to be a treasure found by the king's good luck.
What happened to Wang Yuanwai? Wang Yuanwai can make a fortune, and he can also make a fortune! After all, such a thing as pie falling from the sky is not exclusive to one person.
While running hard, the man began to imagine his happy life after becoming rich. He's going to the capital, leaving this border town where birds don't! He's going to the capital to drink the most expensive wine, soak the most expensive girls, and ride the most expensive horses...... In short, everything should be the most expensive. What are you afraid of? Anyway, if you have money, you can afford it! What? Your wife and children at home? Don't you want it! Your own yellow-faced mother-in-law, where are the delicate and beautiful ladies in the capital? If you don't get a good relationship when the time comes, you may be able to get in touch with the daughter of a family.
The man suddenly felt that he was not tired, and the idea of eating and drinking nonsense was in his mind, and he found that the rain had stopped, and when the rain stopped, he didn't care, and he didn't care. The man took a sip, threw the badly damaged umbrella to the side, and continued to move forward whistling.
It is a pine forest, with dense needles and specks of sunlight. The fresh air instantly cleared the man's mind. The man froze, and walked while recalling the drawings explained by Niu Er before. Yes, he is now on the Songwu Gang in Black Dragon Hill. He hadn't hunted, he hadn't been a guide, he didn't know. But even if you know, for the sake of a windfall, it's worth a try!
If you think about the map again, you should go south now.
By this time the sun had set. The vast pine forest, the fresh air, is refreshing, and as the sun sets, the forest begins to overflow with white mist.
"Heh, it's really called a Songwu Gang," the man laughed happily. Keep walking.
The fog, not big, non-toxic, floods the pine forest, making this pine forest like a fairyland, like a dream. It's just that...... The man's mood was not better, because he seemed to have encountered a ghost hitting the wall.
The man walked a few more laps, but still returned to the original point. He sat down and cursed in his heart. However, it didn't take long for him to be relieved again, ghost hit the wall? Then I'll wait for tomorrow early in the morning, and see how you ghost hit the wall!
However, what I never expected was that this sleep was waking up, waking up, waking up, waking up, waking up, waking up, waking up, waking It was as if time had been forbidden.
The man didn't believe in evil, thinking that maybe the time he woke up was too coincidental, so he didn't sleep with his eyes open. The man gradually felt that his seconds were like years, but the surrounding fairyland was still the same, and the sky was half dark but not dark.
Not long ago, the man who was smiling was in a hurry, and his brain began to work rapidly, thinking about the route to come, and this thought found that something was wrong! He came in the rain at night, and this Songwugang was not far from his own town...... Shouldn't it be late at night, and why did he go through a day and a dusk?
Thinking of this, he was full of wit, and raised his eyes to look at this pine forest that was originally as beautiful as a fairyland, but how strange it looked at the moment.
After staying like this for an unknown amount of time, at first he was able to maintain a relatively calm state of mind and try around, but in the latter he walked more and more quickly, and even began to run fast...... The more he thought about it, the more strange he felt about this place, there were no insects, no birds, no snakes, insects, rats and ants! Except for him, a living person from outside, there was nothing but pine trees and white mist!
What's even more bizarre is that he kept running and searching one after another, but he didn't feel the slightest tiredness, let alone hunger. This forest, except for torturing his spirit, did not cause any other substantial harm.
In the end, the man gave up and sat down under a tree in a daze.
I feel like I've been in a daze. It was getting darker.
I don't know how many times he fell asleep and woke up, his swollen and weak eyes were opening like a dead fish, and in the gap between his eyes, he suddenly caught something, and quickly opened them. And then...... He involuntarily stood up.
In front of him, there was a fairy, standing beside a pine tree not far away, looking at him coldly. The man was dressed in white, his clothes were fluttering, and the fine silk and light gauze set off the snow-white and somewhat pale face, and he was even more uncannibal. This is a man, a man with delicate and picturesque facial features, a tall and tall man, a man with phoenix eyes, golden eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, his beauty is unreal, but there is no femininity at all. The pale golden eyes sparkled and there was a ...... The illusion of a bay of autumn water fluctuations, although ...... The autumn water in this bay may not be far from freezing.
"Awake?" asked the man in white, his voice sounding gentle, but also cold.
"Ah...... Huh?" Before the man could react from this celestial face, he subconsciously touched the corners of his mouth to see if there was anything hurtful on his lips, and responded with a wooden voice.
"How did you find here?" said the man in white lightly.
"I ...... I'm here to ......" The man almost said "I'm here to find treasure", but fortunately he reacted immediately, and said with a smile, "I have a friend, I lost my baby at home, gave me some money, ask me to come and find it"
The man in white knew that the man had lied, but he didn't ask any more. just said lightly, "I know, you come with me." ”
When the man heard this, he was ecstatic, "Oh, my mother-in-law, the gods are going to reward me with treasures!" But on the surface, he pretended to be relatively calm, and immediately bowed respectfully and respectfully to the man in white. Follow the man in white as he walks.
