Chapter 148: I've been waiting for a long time
Dinner was actually very rich, and there was even a small pot of separate thick medicinal soup.
The Master handed it to me and insisted that I drink it alone, and he said, "I don't know what kind of place this place is, but there seem to be a lot of good things, and I pick and choose a lot of things." Anyway, with your Uncle Chen here, I am not afraid that the medicine will rush your body, so drink it quickly. β
I took the medicinal soup and smelled it, in fact, the taste was not good, after all, the smell of medicine was a bit of a nostrilous feeling, but I smelled a familiar, warm smell.
It was like a small bamboo forest night after night, and he personally handed me the medicinal soup.
"Why don't you have one?" Master insisted on letting me drink alone, which made me feel a little embarrassed, after all, there were so many elders present, how could I be embarrassed to drink alone?
You don't have to think about it to know that there are a lot of good ingredients in this pot of soup.
"Chengyi, you drink. Your master has long put away the good things, saying that you have been off medicine for many years, and will prepare more for you. Uncle Chen smiled gently, and the breeze ruffled his hair, which was already completely white, and this was the price of the war.
In the face of Uncle Chen's words, I didn't say anything, but lowered my head and began to drink this pot of medicinal soup slowly, the hot feeling warmed from my throat to my stomach, how long has it been? The familiar care was once wantonly enjoyed, and then lost, and when it came back, there was more apprehension in the bottom of my heart.
The food and clean clothes were brought by the elders from the 'palace' of the gods under the platform after they woke up, and when we talked while we were eating, I realized that when I was asleep, the palace of the gods was almost all gone.
In fact, there are basically no people involved too much, in that big battle, all the combat power of the gods was taken out, whether it was a corpse refining or a green-robed person, and the rest were some ordinary people, that is, gray-robed people.
They should also be loyal supporters of God, and when they see God failing, their first choice is to flee in fear, but is this really right? In this dangerous space, I'm afraid I can stay in the territory of God and live longer, right?
"Master" Thinking of this, I wanted to stop talking, after all, there are so many people's lives, shouldn't Master remind them to stay here?
Master seemed to have insight into my thoughts, took out his dry tobacco stick from the yellow cloth bag he carried, and then took out a paper bag containing tobacco leaves very cherishedly, carefully filled some of the remaining dry tobacco leaves, lit it, took a puff, and waited until the thick smoke came out, he said, "Chengyi, is it because I didn't stop it?" β
I was a little immersed in the smell of dry tobacco, after all, it was the smell that had accompanied me throughout my childhood and youth, and after Master left, I also tried to smoke two puffs of dry tobacco for a while, and it was this familiar smell that I missed.
But I couldn't find it, just because the dry tobacco leaves that Master smoked were a bit special, and I couldn't get them by ordinary means, and I didn't know where to get them.
Seeing that I didn't speak, the master didn't care, but just said to himself: "Actually, it's not just those gray-robed people who escaped, there are also some teenagers imprisoned in the palace of the gods, and they should be sent in by the holy village outside, do you know?" These people can't get out. β
"Can't get out?" I glanced up at Master, and a question suddenly came to my mind, they can't get out, are we too?
"Yes, you can't get out, but you actually have to believe in the ability of human beings to reproduce and survive, just like in ancient times, the environment was not necessarily much safer than here, but human beings still survived! This is a difficult process, and in this process, there is no shelter for the ancient humans, I actually want to say, respect nature, they hide here, maybe they will face a catastrophe, it is better to face this place as soon as possible. Or, you just see it as a world. The smoke of the dry smoke wafted up, and there was a slight pungent smell, which made the master squint his eyes, and the master's face was a little deep in the smoke.
Sometimes, protection is not necessarily a kind of compassion, if you can't protect forever, it is better to let the protected object learn to face it earlier.
This truth can spread from one person to one race, and Master is just telling me this.
I can't get rid of my old problems for many years, and when I catch anything, he will always tell me, in fact, I can understand it as soon as Master says it, but I am curious, why does Master say that this place is a world? It's hard for me to imagine.
My limited mind is not enough for me to understand this, but I know what Master should know?
So I subconsciously said, "A world? β
"It's a world, maybe I can't completely explain it to you, I can only say that in the vast world, our location is so small, looking up at the heaven and earth, how much can we see?" Master didn't explain anything too much, but I always felt that Master, who had disappeared for almost ten years, had become much deeper than before, as if he had learned too much, and it was not necessarily a good thing.
So, I didn't ask too much about anything, I put the medicinal soup aside after drinking, I grabbed a piece of barbecued meat, and ate it under the jealous eyes of Uncle Hui drinking white porridge, I should actually be worried about something, but I ate the barbecue in a big gulp, until I finished eating, wiped my hands casually, and then asked Master: "Master, are we not able to go out?" β
Master laughed hehehe, and then I noticed that he had been playing with a stone in his hand, wasn't that the Celestial Stone that was destroyed by Lin Xiaohua? What is he doing with this stone? Now that God has been destroyed, what is the use of this stone?
However, the master didn't seem to explain to me, he just casually threw the stone in his hand, bit the dry tobacco, and even smiled a little 'treacherous', or there was a trace of worry in his eyes, but unfortunately I don't know if it was my delusion, I am not sure.

We stayed on this platform for three days, and I don't understand why Master and they insisted on staying here, and then they waited with great peace of mind, and I didn't know what they were waiting for.
During these three days, we seemed to have reached a tacit agreement together, that is, we would never talk about the events of the year and what happened in these years.
In fact, we don't have much time to talk about this, just because the older generation seems to be inexplicably a little nervous, and they have tried their best to recover their state in the past three days.
It made me nervous inexplicably, and I hurried to recover.
Actually, I asked Master why I didn't stay in the room under the platform, and when I came back from getting a lot of quilts and mattresses, Master simply said to me, "It's not windy or rainy here, and it doesn't matter if there is a house or not." β
In such a peaceful day, I lived a very comfortable life, even when I was recovering from hard work, I was not as active as Master and them, and often when they were still meditating, I had already woken up bored, sometimes lying on the ground and looking at the night sky above my head, sometimes I would squat in front of Master, pull his beard, and watch him meditate.
I didn't deliberately go to 'innocence', but in front of the master, I always felt that I wanted to get back that feeling of the past.
In fact, I have a lot of questions in my heart, such as what does the half-master of the Uchimura mean? Why did Grandma Ling Qing suddenly sober up when she saw him? However, when I got along with them, my mind seemed to be insufficient, and I simply forgot about these problems.
This is a problem left over from childhood, I don't want to do anything, everything has a master.
Three days later, on this day, it was very normal, Master and they were still meditating quietly, and when I woke up early, I casually leaned on Master's back, bored and looked at the seemingly eternal starry sky, but suddenly, I felt Master's body move, and then I heard him say, "It's almost time, and the person who came to pick us up is estimated to have arrived." It's time to go. β
The person who came to pick us up, what does that mean? I subconsciously wanted to ask Master, but after seeing Master say this, everyone stood up.
Especially Wu Liyu, his expression was a little weird, but he still patted his clothes and said, "Then let's go, I've been waiting for a long time." β
