Chapter 37: Returning Home
After Yu Tang came out of the cave, he saw the three people waiting outside the fence wall. To his surprise, no one asked him for details of the meeting with the Prophet, and everyone walked back as if it hadn't happened.
A few days later, Yu Tang recovered completely under Yang Xiaoyun's care. Yang Xiaosheng, on the other hand, was busy with official business, so on the day of Yu Tang's meeting with the prophet, he went to the military airport with the two staff members of the National Security Bureau and flew back to the holy capital overnight.
That night, Yang Xiaoyun's grandfather came back with some medicinal herbs and ingredients, and Yu Tang and him didn't talk too much, because Yu Tang knew that in this timeline, the two did not know each other, and from Yang Xiaoyun's grandfather's point of view, he was just a rescued injured person.
Although such people are rare, every year there are still one or two people who are lost in the forest and are found by Yang Xiaoyun and her grandfather and treated in time.
And Yu Tang has now lost the help of the Key of Time, in order to avoid extraneous branches and cause chaos like the previous timeline, he decided to return to Yuanyu Town to live for a period of time, and wait until the Key of Time can be used before traveling through time and space, so that this timeline can be stabilized.
"I'll send you back. Your home is in Yuanyu Town, right? Early the morning of the second day after Yu Tang recovered, Yang Xiaoyun spread an omelette and some biscuits for Yu Tang as breakfast and sent them to the room where he was, and asked casually.
"No, I'll just walk to the highway and take a ride." Yu Tang took the plate handed over by Yang Xiaoyun, and the fatigue on his face faded.
Although Yuanyu Town is not large, it is also an important stop for the circulation of goods between neighbors and villages, and it is not uncommon for small trucks to drive along the highway to the town every day.
"Hmm...... Okay, then I'll take you to the road. Yang Xiaoyun thought for a moment, and then replied with a smile.
"Good. These days, thanks to your care, thank you. Yu Tang has been taken care of by Yang Xiaoyun these days, and he is naturally very grateful to her in his heart. If you want to say that you have a good feeling, there must be some, but there is already a person living in his heart, so he expressed his gratitude to Yang Xiaoyun politely.
Yang Xiaoyun didn't have Yu Tang's weird thoughts, so she didn't think much about it, and immediately waved her hand and said, "No thanks, this is my duty." ”
"You're a doctor? I thought your grandfather was the doctor, and you were just a handicap. Yu Tang asked with some surprise when he heard the word responsibility.
"It's true that my grandfather is a doctor, but I also aspire to be a life-saving doctor, and I'm working in that direction. You don't think my dad is a scientist and I have to be a scientist, right? Yang Xiaoyun asked with her hands on her hips and her little face flushed.
Yu Tang touched his forehead and didn't dare to answer.
The atmosphere suddenly froze, and the two of them stared at each other like this, and after dozens of seconds, they laughed in unison.
This is the first time that Yu Tang has really relaxed after so many things have happened.
In the afternoon, Yu Tang and Yang Xiaoyun walked along the forest path to the side of the road with a smile and laughter, Yu Tang stopped a hitchhiker, said goodbye to Yang Xiaoyun, and then embarked on the road back to Yuanyu Town.
Along the way, looking at the scenery that kept getting closer and farther away, Yu Tang's mind was once again pulled back to when he was on the first branch line of Kronos.
The death of his father, the madness of his mother, and the sacrifice of his friends and police officer Zou Yu......
"Eagle Nation ...... You will pay the price for your actions. He thought to himself, and his hand tightened unconsciously, turning into a fist.
Yu Tang subconsciously raised his hand to take a closer look, but was surprised to find that a black vein faintly appeared on the index finger of his left hand, and it seemed to be growing, crawling slowly towards his knuckles.
This context should be a symbol of the restoration of the key to time. Because this was once the location of the veins of the Key to Time. When it reverts back to its original Möbius ring, it should be able to plane-travel.
As soon as he thought of this, Yu Tang closed his eyes, and the small truck was moving on the highway, driving the natural wind to blow slowly towards him. His mood has also become much more relaxed......
"Hey, little brother, it's time to town." The truck slowly stopped at the entrance of Yuanyu Town, and Yu Tang jumped down after thanking the owner.
"By the way, I haven't been back for so many days, and I don't know what happened to my grandmother." After Yu Tang got out of the car, the first thing he thought of was his grandmother.
After all, his grandmother is old, her legs and feet are not good, and she needs to be taken care of. And Yu Tang hasn't been home for so many days, and he doesn't know if the old man is okay.
Yuanyu Town is also not much different from Yu Tang's memory. At this time, the primary and secondary schools in the town have already ended. But Yu Tang and they are on the eve of the college entrance examination, so everyone will study a little more at school after school.
Yu Tang was slowed down by the rush of students after school. He thought that before he went back, he could go to the market with Wang Qu to buy some ingredients, but in this situation, if he went to school again, it would probably be past dinner when he got home in the evening.
He quickly walked through the streets, and then skillfully entered the vegetable market, and after greeting old acquaintances, Yu Tang quickly rushed home with large bags and small bags.
"Grandma, I'm back!" Yu Tang rushed into the house and shouted into the house.
However, he did not hear his grandmother's response.
It's broken, grandma may have had an accident. Yu Tang thought to himself.
He walked around the house in a hurry, but found no trace of his grandmother. It's like no one has lived in this house for a long time.
Yu Tang's first thought was to ask his parents for help. He took out his mobile phone and dialed Tang Wangdao's number.
"Dad, where's Grandma?" As soon as the phone was connected, Yu Tang asked eagerly.
"Huh? Didn't my grandmother take her to live with me after she had a bad leg a few years ago? Tang Wangdao's puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone.
Yu Tang froze in place.
This seems to be different from what I remember, isn't it ......?
"What about Grandma? I want to talk to my grandmother. Yu Tang hurriedly said.
A short time later, my grandmother's voice came from the phone. "Xiao Tang, have you eaten? If you are alone in your hometown, you have to take care of yourself. ”
"I ate, grandma. It's good that you're okay. Yu Tang was relieved when he heard the old man's voice.
It seems that there will still be some deviations in some things on different timelines. 'It' really can only control people's life, old age, sickness and death.
Yu Tang walked into the kitchen with a heavy heart, washed the pots and pans in the kitchen, and prepared to cook by himself.
After a while, this small deserted village was filled with a hint of life.
