Chapter XVII. The Beginning
Chapter 17 Beginnings
Sitting in front of the coffee table in Qingshui Thatched Cottage, drinking the big red robe made by the little goblin himself, looking at the familiar scene, looking at the same seat, Li Yiming shook like a world away......
"It's really fateful this time......" The man with glasses touched the severed limb and sighed with emotion. When he saw the man in black spotting him, he began to retreat, running as fast as he could, avoiding the center of the explosion, but losing a leg. Fortunately, the others woke up quickly in the hospital, and after taking Granny Wang's medicine, they were discharged from the hospital on the same day.
"This secret realm ......," Qing Qiaoqiao sighed.
"Qiaoqiao." Qing Linglong shouted, "Forgot what I told you? What happened in the secret realm should not be mentioned after the secret realm is over, you better forget about it. It's the rule. ”
"Yes, not to mention that we have gained enough this time." Granny Wang brought up the green Arabic headscarf again and glanced at Li Yiming meaningfully.
"Speaking of harvest...... Qing Linglong smiled and took out a gorgeous box. We haven't sorted out the dirt yet......"
"A dragon snake fruit, two accessories to enhance spiritual power, an intermediate footwork cheats, and a storage bracelet. It's worth it...... How to divide it? Qing Linglong opened the box.
An apple ...... A necklace...... A jade pendant...... A book...... A wristband......
"Give me the dragon snake fruit, it's useless for you to take it." Granny Wang spoke first.
"I want a necklace......"
"I want a jade pendant ......"
Qing Qiaoqiao and the man with glasses spoke at the same time.
"Where's Mr. Li?" Qing Linglong didn't answer, but looked at Li Yiming.
Five things, what Qing Linglong wants most is the footwork cheats, which is the most practical with her natural ability, but in terms of value, this storage bracelet is the lowest, there are many such space items in the secret realm, almost one per person, the difference is the size of the storage. Therefore, Qing Linglong is the temporary captain, and her sister has already chosen first, so she must be the last to choose.
"Then give me the bracelet." Li Yiming knows his own affairs, what is the use of cheats? Can you learn on your own? Storage bracelet ...... Li Yiming was a little excited.
"The cheats are mine." Qing Linglong glanced at Li Yiming gratefully. Divide things among the people.
Granny Wang's hand flickered, and the apple disappeared. The glasses man and Qing Qiaoqiao couldn't wait to put on the necklace and jade wear. Li Yiming also put the bracelet on his left hand. This is a bracelet with a simple shape, not gold or wood, but Li Yiming knows that this is not the place to check.
And then ...... This was the previous promise. Qing Linglong took out three small boxes and handed them to the three of them.
"Thank you." The man with glasses took the small box. Granny Wang didn't speak, but nodded with a smile.
Li Yiming took the small box, didn't check it, and stuffed it into his pocket.
In front of each of the five people, an invitation card suddenly appeared, that is, the one given by the big brother in the pants, suspended in the air, slowly burning, and after a while, it burned out, but no ashes fell.
"It's a pleasure to work with." Qing Linglong got up and smiled......
Walking out of the Qingshui Thatched Cottage and strolling through the familiar street, the noisy Second Provincial Hospital in the distance made Li Yiming feel like a world away. The sun on the August afternoon was hot, but Li Yiming felt very warm. Crowded streets, noisy human voices. It's nice to be ordinary...... Habitually touched his left ear, it was empty, and the communicator had been returned to the man with glasses. Li Yiming stretched his waist and suddenly froze there, attracting strange glances from passers-by.
Everything in the secret realm is illusory...... That...... Ji Xiaoqin......
Immediately, deep disappointment struck again, the time when the secret realm opened was 10:30 in the morning of August 15, and the time when I arrived in Hangzhou was on the evening of August 14......
Go see her? Li Yiming hesitated...... Scenes from the secret realm flashed in front of my eyes......
The "thought" of this secret realm is "love", and the invitation of the big brother of the pants linked himself with the protectors and brought him into the secret realm, perhaps because of the special identity of his identity, his state of mind at that time and the "thought" of the secret realm fit, maybe it was an accident, maybe it was the big brother of the pants deliberately, his "love" produced "thoughts", and produced "pretenders". In the end, Ji Xiaoqin repented, and by chance eliminated her "thoughts", and the secret realm ended...... That's pretty much the truth......
What about reality? How do you face Ji Xiaoqin?
In the chaos, Li Yiming came to the downstairs of the bachelor apartment again.
Maserati? Li Yiming saw the conspicuous luxury car parked downstairs at a glance. The two figures in the corridor walked out chatting and laughing, and Ji Xiaoqin snuggled in Guo Xiang's arms with a happy face.
Li Yiming subconsciously avoided the green belt on the side. The unreal ends, but the reality remains......
Guo Xiang opened the car door gentlemanly, Ji Xiaoqin pecked him lightly in the face, and happily sat in the car.
Today is the charity party of Yunlong Construction Group...... The sports car roared all the way out of the neighborhood, and the eyes of envy or contempt followed all around......
Ay...... Li Yiming sighed in his heart, so be it......
Reach for the key and open the door. It's still ......
Li Yiming silently took out his travel bag and began to pack his few clothes. Slippers...... Toothbrush...... Panties...... Every time he picked up something, Li Yiming's heart would be touched. These simple daily necessities carry too many memories of Li Yiming.
There wasn't much stuff and it was packed up quickly. Putting down the travel bag, Li Yiming sat down on the sofa and took out half a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, which was brought out from the secret realm. He was suddenly reluctant to leave.
lit a cigarette and turned on the TV casually, Guo Tai was talking to the reporter with a confident smile on the TV, Li Yiming felt bored, and closed it casually.
So be it...... Extinguishing the cigarette he had just smoked, Li Yiming picked up his travel bag and walked towards the door.
Reached out to open the door, but the door opened on its own......
Ji Xiaoqin stood at the door with a stunned face.
"You're not leaving?" Li Yiming blurted out.
"I ...... I forgot to take my phone......" Ji Xiaoqin was a little at a loss.
"I'm ......" Li Yiming shook the travel bag in his hand, and suddenly smiled freely, "I'll get something." ”
"A ...... hit"
"Don't say it...... I know. Li Yiming's smile was very sincere. Don't say it, okay? ”
"A ...... hit"
"Really, there's no need to say anything." Li Yiming's voice is very gentle and down-to-earth. In the secret realm, the scene of Ji Xiaoqin finally blocking in front of the pretender once again appeared in Li Yiming's mind. That's love...... That's enough......
"The phone is at the bedside, go down quickly, don't make people wait for a long time." Li Yiming's eyes softened, and he made way to the side.
"A ...... hit"
"Go ahead, I'll go down in a while, and let him see that I'm not good......"
Ji Xiaoqin took her mobile phone and went out, and Li Yiming looked at her back through the curtains. Beautiful...... Hesitate...... Charming...... Raise...... There are some things that you need to experience yourself...... After all, the secret realm is illusory, who can prove that everything in the secret realm will happen in reality? The 208 viaduct lies peacefully in the center of Hangzhou, and no one knows when it will fall, just as no one can be sure of Ji Xiaoqin's future.
Maybe she will be happy, maybe she will be miserable, but all this needs to be experienced and understood by herself...... No one else can control it, including Li Yiming. This...... It's the rules, the rules of the world, it's the way of heaven......
The maturity of men is like this, not more and more realistic, but more and more accepting of reality. This is growth, to make yourself gentle, to be gentle with the world. Let go of the conclusion, have compassion in your heart, and look at the world with kind eyes. Whether a person is mature or not is not to be able to speak into chapters, to say many profound philosophies, not to have a high level of understanding, to reach a high ideological realm, not to use many great truths to enlighten and convince others, but to be able to convince himself to understand the people and things around him. A mature person tends to blame less and less and tolerate more and more...... The sergeant is not quarrelsome, the corporal is quarrelsome, the upper virtue is not virtuous, and the lower virtue is virtuous. That's what I'm talking about.
Leaning against the door, after smoking a cigarette completely, Li Yiming walked out of the bachelor apartment, and the moment he turned around and closed the door, Li Yiming closed all his memories into the door.
August is the peak tourist season, standing in front of the train station, Li Yiming sadly found that today's tickets are sold out, and the earliest train to Belvedere will be at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Will stay another night......
The small hotel next to the train station is not comparable to the five-star suite, with a black carpet that makes it difficult to distinguish the pattern, and low-quality plastic slippers crunch on it. The 19-inch color TV has a picture without sound, and it is covered with snowflakes. After a simple shower, Li Yiming lay on the strangely colored single bed and sighed: This is his life......
I wonder what that leprechaun is doing now?
Thinking of Qing Qiaoqiao, Li Yiming suddenly jumped up from the bed, opened his shoulder bag, and found a wooden box the size of a ping-pong ball. The wooden box has a simple style and exquisite workmanship, with exquisite patterns carved on it and smooth lines. This is the last "reward" given by Qing Linglong.
With three points of curiosity and seven points of expectation, Li Yiming carefully opened the box, and there was a green leaf lying quietly inside, the size of a thumb, brilliant glass, and it was not ordinary at first glance.
From the Secret Realm?
Li Yiming carefully took out the leaves, carefully examined them, the leaf lines were clear, and the surface was occasionally bright......
What is it? Li Yiming was puzzled.
Gently press the leaf against your forehead...... No response...... Difficult to take orally?
Li Yiming shook his head and dispelled his dangerous thoughts. Produced by the secret realm, I didn't dare to try it until I figured it out.
Reluctantly, he put the leaves back into the wooden box and put them away carefully. Li Yiming took out a bracelet.
Space items! Li Yiming's eyes flashed with excitement. The bracelet is dark red, non-gold and non-wood, I can't see what material, I can't see anything special, how to look like a deformed sports bracelet, but if you look closely, you will find that this dark red is full of silver stars, like the best small leaf red sandalwood.
After studying it carefully, Li Yiming was very annoyed in helplessness, and he wouldn't use it...... Rubbing, touching, rubbing, patting, biting, licking...... Li Yiming tried everything he could.
I don't even bring a copy of the manual...... The secret realm produces a pit daddy...... You can't find how to use this thing on the Internet, right?
Blood? Li Yiming's heart moved, many online novels are like this.
With a hint of determination, Li Yiming found the hotel's sewing kit, took a slightly rusty pin, and regardless of whether he would get tetanus, he gritted his teeth and pricked his finger hard.
Ten fingers connected to his heart, Li Yiming's painful forehead was sweating, but he didn't have time to take care of it, so he quickly squeezed hard, squeezed out a drop of blood, and rubbed it on the bracelet...... Staring at the bracelet expectantly, waiting for it to suddenly shine......
Ten minutes passed...... Is there not enough blood? Li Yiming wondered in his heart, looked at the wound on his finger, Li Yiming gritted his teeth, and was ready to squeeze it again......
"You just cut your wrists and bleed, and then wash them!" A helpless voice sounded from behind him......
"Who!"
