Chapter 4: Wuji and the Old Man
Worried in his heart, Han Yu still couldn't help but open the door a little bit curiously, only to see people coming and going outside, and lighting oil lamps and candles, like a market. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Han Yu only felt a chill gushing out from the bottom of his heart, he pinched his thigh hard, the obvious pain seemed to be laughing at him, don't try to use dreams to escape this reality in front of you, you are here, you see it, it is real.
His legs were weak, and Han Yu was about to close the door and go back to Xu Ding, so he was so brave, but at this time, a childish voice came and said to him: "Brother, are you from outside?" ”
Han Yu's scalp was numb, and after lowering his head, he saw a girl talking to him at the door, dressed as an ancient, with big eyes and very cute.
If it hadn't appeared at this time and place, Han Yu would definitely think so.
"You...... What the hell are you? "People? Ghost? Han Yu asked tremblingly, his eyes were full of defensiveness, he had already made the decision to turn around and run away as soon as something went wrong.
"Brother, you don't have to be afraid, I feel the breath of the clan on your body, do you also have a sea talisman on your body?" The little girl comforted, with a shallow smile on her face, and said to Han Yu gently, maybe she was infected by the smile, Han Yu really calmed down.
"Yes, you just said the clansmen? You guys...... Are they all from the Sea Clan? Han Yu nodded yes, took out the sea talisman and let the little girl look at it, and the defense between the words also lowered and asked curiously.
Could it be that they are the Sea Clan people that Uncle Chen misses?
The little girl nodded and said, "Brother, we are all from the Sea Clan, you see! My sea talisman is prettier than yours! The little girl said, and shook her sea talisman in front of Han Yu, which was indeed much more delicate than Han Yu's, because of the girl's nature, she dotted a lot of beautiful shells on it.
"It's been a long time since there have been any new people here, and Grandpa will be very happy to see you!"
Han Yu had too many doubts and curiosity, and he asked the little girl, "Little sister, what's your name?" How old are you this year? What about your family? ”
The little girl said obediently: "My name is Aning, and my family sells things outside, I ...... He was 9 years old at the time. ”
A-Ning's voice became smaller and smaller, and it was a little blurry in the back, and Han Yu only listened to it.
As soon as Han Yu nodded, Ah Ning spoke again: "Brother, I'll take you out for a walk!" Today is a rare Wuji, and there are a lot of interesting things for sale. ”
Han Yu hesitated, he really wanted to go out and have a look, but he was not confident, he said to Ah Ning that he was going to call Xu Ding together, but Ah Ning shook his head: "That brother doesn't have a sea talisman, right?" He couldn't wake up until ten nights had passed. ”
"What Ten Nights?" Han Yu asked, he always had a faint feeling in his heart that this must have something to do with the sun that never set.
"Brother, do you remember how you got here?" A-Ning didn't answer, but continued to ask.
"We got caught up in a whirlpool when we were at sea, and we woke up on another island, and we finally got here." Han Yu replied truthfully, intending to repeat the question just now.
But A-Ning interrupted him: "Brother, come with me!" Since you can get the approval of the sea rune, it means that you have the blood of our sea people, and none of us have any ill will towards you. You come with me, I'll take you to Grandpa, and he will answer your questions. ”
Han Yu thought about it, it's okay! He was in need of someone who could answer his questions...... Or a ghost.
Courageous, Han Yu stepped out of the courtyard gate, A-Ning happily led Han Yu forward, Han Yu was stunned, this little hand ...... It turned out to be lukewarm.
What kind of existence is this? Han Yu was full of doubts, and he didn't even bother to look at the surrounding stalls, so he followed A Ning to the end of the road, where there was the largest stall, full of dazzling goods.
When A-Ning brought Han Yu here, he let go of his hand and went to the end of the stall.
"Where did Childe come from?" An old man who seemed to be Grandpa A Ning asked, looking at Han Yu with an unknown brilliance in his eyes.
Han Yu glanced at Ah Ning and replied politely, "I'm from HN." The answer is short and to the point.
"Hehe, I know this, come, come and sit, let me take a good look at you." The old man smiled kindly and greeted Han Yu gently.
Han Yu obediently walked over and sat down, perhaps because he rarely had contact with outsiders, and Han Yu was inevitably a little restrained when facing strangers.
After looking Han Yu up and down, the old man said, "Don't be nervous, son, you can just call me Grandpa, so let's ask me directly if you have any questions." "Han Yu and A Ning seem to be about the same age, and it's really okay to call him Ah Gong.
Han Yu was a little nervous, and after hesitating, he decided to seize this opportunity and ask all the questions in his heart.
These questions had piled up in his heart one after another from the first time he opened his eyes and found that he had come to this place.
"Ah Gong, what kind of place is this, and why is it different from where I lived before...... So big? This question must be asked first, because it is what Han Yu is most eager to know the answer to.
"Hehe, no one knows what kind of place this is, not even me who first came here, because we, like you, are people who accidentally ended up here." Ah Gong replied.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be this answer, Han Yu was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "Why is there so long daylight here?" And all of a sudden, it's night? I didn't see anyone but me and my companions during the day! ”
"In this place, there are ten days of day and ten days of night. We can only meet in Wuji, that is, on the night of the first day, to exchange some necessary items for life, and after this night, we return to our respective spaces, and we do not see each other. Ah Gong explained, but Han Yu set off a monstrous wave in his heart.
If it weren't for his own personal experience, if it weren't for the fact that everything in front of him was what he saw with his own eyes, he must have thought that a crazy old man was telling him a fantasy story.
"You look like you've been living here for a long time." Han Yu asked.
"Yes! You can't feel the passage of time here, except for the change of day and night, right? That's because, for those of us outsiders, time stands still, not just us, but you, and everyone behind you, who have been here for a long, long time. The environment is always changing, but we never get old. Ah Gong shook his head and said.
"Haven't you ever thought about leaving here?" Han Yu asked puzzled, why did they choose to survive here instead of trying to leave this place?
"I can't get out, I've tried all the methods, but I haven't found a way out, there are only people who die of illness and injury, but there are no people who die of natural old age." Ah Gong replied.
Han Yu frowned, but his heart was cold, was he and Xu Ding going to stay in this place endlessly? How is this possible!
The question was asked for the time being, Han Yu at this time just wanted to be alone and quiet, he had heard too many incredible things, and he felt that he couldn't accept it.
As if seeing Han Yu's loss, Ah Gong reached out and picked out a well-made sea talisman on the stall, thought about it, and then reached out and took out a book from his arms, Ah Ning next to him opened his mouth in surprise when he saw his grandfather's movements, the book ...... It's always been a treasure of grandpa, how could he give it to that big brother so easily?
Handing over these two things to Han Yu, Ah Gong said, "Let Ah Ning take you back!" These two things are regarded as my gift to you, that kid in your house doesn't have a sea talisman, this sea talisman is new, you go and put it on him! Otherwise, it will be lonely to wait alone for ten days. ”
Han Yu thanked Ah Gong, and he didn't have the heart to look through the book, he just wanted to go back quickly at this time.
A-Ning took him home obediently and left in a hurry. As soon as Han Yu stepped into the courtyard gate, he turned around and closed the door, out of sight, he really didn't have the courage to go out again.
Han Yu didn't dare to take the sea talisman off his neck, although he also wanted to sleep unconsciously for ten days until the arrival of the ten days.
In this place where everything is unknown, he must guarantee that he has the ability to face everything that may be more incredible next, but it is too lonely to be alone.
Back in the house, Han Yu came to Xu Ding helplessly in the dark, and hung the newly acquired sea talisman on his body, and Xu Ding's thunderous snoring stopped abruptly.
"Ah Yu? What are you doing? Xu Ding woke up and saw Han Yu lying in front of him, and asked puzzledly.
Han Yu "......"
Reluctantly told Xu Ding what had just happened, and after Xu Ding heard it, he snorted, and hurriedly got up and ran straight out of the house.
"Huh? Nothing! Xu Ding opened the courtyard door and stretched out his head to look, but there was nothing dark outside.
Han Yu was stunned, it turns out that this Wuji has passed? It seemed that ten nights had passed, and they would have to survive the remaining nine days in this dark night.
