Chapter 11 Let It Be
"What are these things!" The herdsman kept rubbing his knife in the direction behind him, and Jialan also understood why all the wolves outside had disappeared. It was much easier for locusts to burrow into this room than wolves, which once again showed that the attack in front of them was orderly and organized.
"Aren't locusts vegetarian?" Jialan muttered quietly.
"If their purpose is only to bite us to death, not against nature." Fan replied. "A doctor once said that for many insects, their behavior is like a program, that is, they have no sense of fear, only a response to stimuli, like a group of ants attacking an elephant, even if the front is trampled to death, the back still rushes without hesitation."
"Who said that?"
"It seems to be Qin Ziyang." Fan Li lowered his head and smiled bitterly at Jialan, and the herdsman cast a strange look, probably puzzled by Fan Li's ability to laugh in this situation.
"If everything in front of her is caused by Qin Ziyang, then she can't change the nature of insects, that is, this group of insects still has phototaxis." Fan Lixi raised the spirit in his hand and stepped on the bull's head with one foot.
"What are you going to do?" Jialan shouted at him. "What if you go out and the wolves are hiding around?"
"But there is no other way at the moment, this group of locusts is obviously waiting for orders, if they rush up, it will be completely too late!" With that, a blinding blue light immediately surged from the back of Fan Li's hand, and sure enough, the group of locusts rushed straight towards him. Fan Lifu stepped on the old cow's head and jumped out of the brick house and ran into the distance.
Jialan also stepped on the back of the cow with a bow and arrow, looked at Fan Li, who was gradually running away, and ran out of the door without thinking.
It's still quiet outside, and there is no shadow of a wolf around, and there is no **, not even a dead wolf. In the distance, the light in Fan Li's hand gradually faded, he took off his coat and covered his head, fell to his knees, and the locust swarm flew far away past him.
"It's dawn." Behind him came the voice of a herdsman. Jialan looked to the east, and a fiery red glimmer appeared. There was a muffled sound behind him, and he felt that something was moving behind him, Jialan quickly retreated to the side, and the cow lying at the door actually stood up, shook his head, and walked to the side.
After making sure that the cow was not in danger, Jialan hurriedly ran to Fan Li, who had already gotten up from the ground and sat on the lawn, and there was no trace of locusts nearby.
"That's weird, what do you think?" Fan Li looked at the sunrise and turned her head to ask Jialan, Jialan just shook her head, she looked back at the ** running from afar, there was no blood on its body, and there was no blood around it.
"It's like everything is a dream." Jialan looked at the broken yurt and the brick house that had been pierced, and then patted the dirt on her body. She looked back at Banla Mountain, the light emitted by the rising sun in the east hit the gentle side of Banla Mountain, and the other side was black and hollow, looking very much like an oil painting.
"Is there really a sacred story here? We've violated something sacred and messed up? Fan Li stood up and looked at Banla Mountain with her.
"There is always a hint of mystery in the savannah." Jialan replied. "When I was a tour guide, I heard stories about wolves, and they all said that wolves are extremely intelligent creatures, they can live in this grassland, and they have their own set of natural laws."
"What about the herders?" Jialan looked behind her and said. Fan Lifu looked around, the cattle and sheep next to him had gone away, and there was no shadow of the herdsmen, only ** squatting next to the dilapidated yurt.
"Maybe I went into the brick house to pack my things." Fan replied.
"That's not right." Jialan ran quickly to the brick house, Fan Li stood up and followed, and before she could run to the brick house, Jialan jumped out.
"There's not a single person in there."
Fan Li looked around, where was the shadow of someone in Pingchuan. He looked up again at Banla Mountain, a small hill that was much more majestic than usual, and the sun was shining on it, and it seemed to be transformed into a meditating Buddha statue.
"Look." Jialan pointed to the ** in the distance, and it also looked over here, as if Fan Li saw the warning in its eyes at this moment. The dog turned its head and ran off into the distance.
"I see, the sound I heard yesterday was not the sound of locusts, but the soul of **, it was the herdsman, so when we retreated to the brick house, no wolves rushed up to bite him. Maybe we've really offended something. ”
Jialan didn't feel strange after hearing this, but knelt down in front of Banla Mountain, put down the waist knife and bow and arrow on his body, and bowed to the mountain peak three times. Fan Li felt that she was right to do this, anyway, there was no one around, so he didn't have to worry about face, so he also knelt down and bowed to the mountain peak like Jialan.
"I once heard a man dressed as a Taoist priest say to me that in this world, there are mountain gods in mountains and river gods in rivers. I guess the grasslands have their own gods, and if we open such a terrifying weapon as magic energy, we should be punished. At that time, I really should have asked a few more words, and I didn't know if it was a real Taoist priest. Jialan stood up and continued. She turned to look into the distance, where a van was hurrying by.
"The car is coming." She said.
"It's long overdue." Fan replied.
When they returned to Xiwuzhumuqin Banner, Fan Li found an Internet café and searched for Nisna's name, and he was busy for more than an hour, and finally found Nisna's name in a tattoo bar. Some of the names of tattoo artists are introduced above, first male tattoo artists, for example, a few more famous tattoo artists, and then female tattoo artists, Nisna's name is in third place, and there is a photo next to it. It was a girl with dreadlocks, big flower arms, Pikan shoulders, and a fierce smile on her face, which looked a little similar to Jialan. Fan Li began to look through the replies about Nisna, and some netizens introduced her relevant information, saying that this girl is a very famous tattoo artist in Qingdao, a native of Inner Mongolia, and later she returned to Qingcheng, opened a regular tattoo parlor, and also opened a LiveHouse, and knew many underground bands.
"Looks like a tricky guy, doesn't it?" Fan Li turned his head to look at Jialan, who was sitting on the side munching on roast chicken, and smiled evilly, but Jialan ignored him and watched the zombie movie on the computer screen wholeheartedly.
Fan Li's continued to dig up the grave, digging up a lot of posts from the early years, with many recent replies on them, most of them talking about bar singers.
"Look!" Fan Lixi suddenly shouted, he patted Jialan on the shoulder, and didn't notice that Jialan was still holding the roast chicken in his hand, and half of the roast chicken just rolled down on the dirty floor.
"You're sick!" Jialan scolded.
"Look at you!" Fan Li pointed to the screen, and Jialan leaned over to see that it was a piece of news.
"'Yesterday Qin Ziyang appeared in the Qingcheng bar, and the former rock singer changed to sing folk songs', what does this mean, Qin Ziyang is in Qingcheng."
"Is there such a coincidence?" Jialan stared at the screen in a daze, and Fan Li had already taken out his mobile phone and booked a ticket to Qingcheng tonight.
"Let's go, we can only take a plane from Xilinhot, and now it's time to find a car to Xilinhot."
About an hour later, they got on the bus to Xilinhot, and they still chartered a car. As soon as he jumped into the car, Jialan felt that something was wrong with Fan Li, and he seemed to be very excited.
"You just want to see Qin Ziyang so much?" Jialan asked, looking at his excitement.
"Not really! I really want to see what kind of people Ye Yuning painstakingly wanted to save were like. ”
"What? Isn't she very much like Avril? ”
"I mean ......"
"Okay, I know." Jialan interrupted Fan Li's words. "You just can't forget Ye Yuning, if it weren't for Ye Yuning, you wouldn't have agreed to Ni Ziqiong to come to Inner Mongolia, right, I know that you kid still thinks about her."
"Alas, it's all a sad story." Fan Lifu pretended to wipe away tears. "You said that if I have a good relationship with Qin Ziyang, will she help me make Ye Yuning change her mind?"
"Get out! I want to go myself. Jialan twisted her head to the side and looked out the window.
Fan Li was embarrassed to disturb Jialan again, so he leaned back in his chair, he didn't sleep well at all last night, his already weak body and bones had experienced the torture of the god of Banla Mountain, and he couldn't help but feel even weaker, he only felt that he was drowsy as soon as he relaxed.
He soon fell asleep, dreaming of those days in the lost city, dreaming that he walked to the side of the Crescent Hotel, and Ye Yuning beckoned to him.
He was so happy to see her again, and the feeling he hadn't felt in a long time rushed to his heart. Soon, he sat face to face with her, eating the steak made by Ye Yuning himself, and listening to her singing. Maybe for Ye Yuning, the best thing in the world is just plain, although she is a genius, she is not arrogant. I just want to find a quiet place to sing a song or have a Western meal.
Ye Yuning's impression is not a majestic and righteous knight, but a singer who can sing a story with his mouth open. He likes the slightly decadent Yu Ning holding the guitar and the sound of her mixed with sad pasts, he prefers to be able to enjoy her singing, and he can also see her longing for her falling from the sky, just like a heavenly maiden descending from earth. In terms of financial resources, appearance, and internal reasons, Fan Li knew that he was not worthy of Ye Yuning, but if he could see the old man of Freidem, even if Ni Ziqiong became Freidem, he might say: There is no such thing as cooperation and non-cooperation in the world, just wishful thinking is enough.
A vast prairie suddenly appeared in front of him, and he suddenly wanted to laugh, because he was originally on the prairie, so why bother to create a prairie from his dream, this look is Vredem's trick.
"Actually, you're a very interesting person, isn't that true of every spirit thief." Fredem appeared in front of him, sipping his drink and looking up at the sky.
"What do you mean?"
"The distance between dream and reality. I find that you are also using your brain in your dreams, and although you think of things that are imaginative, you don't get entangled. I've seen a lot of people dream, for example, e-sports people dream of a computer that can never play games, a painter dreams that they can't draw a rainbow pen or gray-white paint, and you can't take a step to escape even though you're chasing a tiger behind you. Your dreams are different, your dreams contain a lot of scientific principles and chicken soup for the soul, and your thinking is really powerful. ”
Fan Li walked up to him, looked down at his empty wine glass, made sure that it was not Ni Ziqiong, and then raised his hand, and a glass of wine appeared in his hand. He drank the red liquid and found that it was not as good as the wine that Ni Ziqiong gave him, and the glass of wine in front of him was bland and tasteless, like white water.
"You've learned to be anti-customer-oriented." Fredem feigned surprise and looked at the wine in his hand.
"In the past, Ni Ziqiong turned into your appearance to solve problems for me, and when I encountered problems in life, she would help me clear my mind."
"That's what I often do for others, she's imitating, she's a master of dreaming, it's just that such a genius was lost in her dreams for a while, but now she's out of that pain. In fact, you are the same as her, I think you have discovered that unlike Pan Mingyue, Ni Ziqiong is easier to bring warmth to people. ”
"That's right, sometimes she's like a bosom sister."
"Haha, don't be fooled by other people's beautiful appearance."
"If you can solve problems for me like Ni Ziqiong, then I have a question, why is there always a force in my heart that pulls me in the direction of Qin Ziyang?"
"Your question is really difficult, people are different from animals, tigers love meat, antelopes love grass, but people love to eat everything, and people want to do everything. So when you want to figure out why your intuition points to Qin Ziyang, it is a process of studying why man evolved from ape-man to modern man. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"There is a Taoist saying that says: let nature be."
