Volume IX, Chapter 58
The old man said this, glancing at his location, as if intentionally or unintentionally. The young man's heart froze, this was a gentle old man who was over the age of old, but his eyes just now were as cold as a hook, and it was like lightning in the night.
"Grandpa Chu, they are angels sent by the divine realm, don't they have to be very beautiful. A child asked, wistfully. His voice immediately aroused the curiosity of a group of children, and several pairs of eyes focused on the old man.
"Hehe, I guess so. It's just that no one saw what they looked like at the time. God does not make it possible for a mortal to blaspheme. The old man said with a smile.
Several children brushed their faces together. The old man smiled and said, "Boys, that's all for today, let's disperse first, and when your big brother Niu comes back, I will call you." ”
The children immediately dispersed, and did not even say hello to the old man. The old man stood up and walked to his place with a cane, his steps steady and powerful, showing no signs of weakness, the cane was a complete ornament.
"You're awake. The old man looked him up and down, his voice old and calm.
He nodded and asked, "Here?"
The old man's eyes narrowed, but he didn't answer his words, but still said indifferently: "I rescued you from the ravine in the west, when you were still a seven or eight-year-old child, and I didn't wake you up by all means." And then, you slept like this for ten whole years, and for ten years, you did not eat a drop of water, did not eat a meal, but your life never showed signs of exhaustion, but grew up in a deep sleep. I asked myself what I had seen, but I was also amazed for ten years. Young man, can you tell me your name and where you come from?"
Decade!?
He was shocked. But the momentary calm suppressed the inner waves. Gaze searched for his memories.
What is my name and who am I......
I was born in China and my home is in Jinghua, the capital of China. And my father is...... Mother is ...... I'm ...... myself
The fragments of his memories were filtered by him one by one, but he found no memories of his past. He remembered the country he was born in, remembered the qiē of that country, and remembered the qiē he had studied, but he could not remember anyone or his own past.
Selective amnesia? he thought silently as he covered his head with his hands aching from the confusion.
Why did I lose my memory, and what did I experience before that?
After a long silence, he sighed softly. Putting down his hands and staring at the sky blankly, perhaps only the sky could tell him the answer.
The old man watched his reaction, thoughtful.
The soft breeze blows and brings a refreshing coolness. A light leaf was picked up by the wind and slowly floated down. He subconsciously stretched out two fingers and sandwiched the light leaf between his fingers, his eyes still looking at the moonless night sky. His movements made the old man's eyes flicker slightly, revealing a look of incomprehension.
There is no memory. There is no past, just like a fallen leaf, destined to drift away, and it is difficult to find a way back. He sighed softly. Bounced the fallen leaves away, and said abruptly: "My name is Ye-Wuchen!"
"Is that your real name?" said the old man with a smile.
Ye Wuchen smiled slightly: "Until I get my real name back, my name will be Ye Wuchen." ”
"I see. That's a pity. But you're not human, and it may not be long. You can find your past. The old man said. His series of reactions had led him to guess that he had lost his memory, and his origin was unknown. If it was more than ten years ago. He would try his best to find out what was going on for this mysterious young man, but now that he was old, he had been locked up in this enchantment for more than ten years, and his heart was tired.
"Old man, I don't know what to call it?" Ye Wuchen looked at the old man and asked.
"Hehe, for an old man who is half-buried in the earth, I have forgotten the name even myself. If you don't dislike it, you can call me Grandpa Chu like them, or call me an old man. The old man said with a smile.
Knowing that he didn't want to say his name, Ye Wuchen smiled disapprerovingly: "Okay, Grandpa Chu, I will repay you for your life-saving grace in the future." ”
The old man shook his head, sat down on the grass beside Ye Wuchen, and said, "I just rescued you, a freak, and occupied a sleeping position, which is not a life-saving grace." If you are an ordinary person, these ten years are enough for you to die thousands of times. ”
Ye Wuchen also sat down beside him, although his whole body was still a little stiff, he could already move as usual. "Either way, you are my great benefactor. Grandpa Chu, what kind of place is this, and how far is it from Jinghua City?"
"Jinghua City, what kind of place is that?" the old man asked with a puzzled expression.
Ye Wuchen frowned slightly, and said, "Jinghua City, naturally the capital of Huaxia Kingdom, isn't this Huaxia Kingdom?"
But the language they use is obviously Huaxia.
The old man shook his head: "I have traveled to every corner of the continent back then, but I have never heard of a place called Huaxia Kingdom. Young people, when a person has amnesia, the fragments of memory he remains are often illusory, and perhaps what you get is just a false memory. ”
"Is that so?" Ye Wuchen closed his eyes and pondered for a while. Then he asked, "What kind of place are we in?"
"The place where we humans live is called the Tianchen Continent, and beyond the continent is the Tianchen Sea, and the space we are in is divided into five lands and five seas. The Tianchen Continent is divided into four kingdoms, namely the Gale Country, the Tianlong Country, the Kwai Water Country, and the Canglan Country, each occupying the east, west, north and south. Among them, the Gale Country is the most powerful, and the other three countries can unite to compete with it, and it is only then that the stability and balance are maintained. After the old man finished speaking, the old man's eyes showed a look of yearning, he had not looked down on the world for too long.
Tianchen Continent?
Ye Wuchen's brain was confused for a while, what was the Huaxia and the earth that he remembered? Is it an illusory memory, or is it ......
I traveled from the earth to this unknown space!
He thought of a word in his memory - time travel.
"Is the language all common here?" Ye Wuchen asked.
"That's right. ”
"And where are we now?"
The old man was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "This is the extreme north of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom, an area that has been forgotten and sealed. There was zài a long, long time ago. Back then, no one in the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom knew about this place. You will never be able to get out. But fifteen years ago, I broke into this place without knowing the height of the sky, and I never went out. It also affected my grandchildren. Fifteen years have passed now. ”
Seeing the look of surprise on Ye Wuchen's face, the old man continued: "I only found out after I broke in. It turns out that there is no natural disaster or beast here, but there is a powerful barrier around here, which can be entered and exited, and I don't know how many times I have tried over the years, but I have not been able to shake that barrier in the slightest. I can only stay here like this, but I will be alive. And that's true for everyone here. There is no hope of going out, they can only settle down here and survive and reproduce. ”
Ye Wuchen's expression stiffened for a while, and he was speechless for a long time.
If you can't get out of the sealed area, how can you find your past and life trajectory? Do you have to settle here, like them?
No!
Chapter 002 White-haired girl
There was a sound of heavy, hurried footsteps. With a man's rough gasp. Ye Wuchen looked to the side and found a tall man carrying a bamboo basket running over with a sweaty head. He didn't look very old, his face was rough, and his physique was a little too tall and stout.
Seeing the old man, his pace sped up a little, and then he put the big basket on the ground out of breath, and hummed half-deadly: "Grandpa, the fruit is full, and I have already carried it for thirty laps." Today's task ......"
His voice stopped suddenly, his eyes were fixed on Ye Wuchen, and it took a long time before he jumped up like seeing a monster: "You, you, you...... Why did you wake up!?"
Ye Wuchen smiled at him and asked, "Grandpa Chu." Who is this?"
"Huh. This is my grandson, who just turned 20 this year. He was the one who took care of you all these years when you were in a coma. A man who had been sleeping under his nose for ten years suddenly woke up. His reaction was not an exaggeration. ”
Ye Wuchen stood up, nodded and said, "My name is Ye Wuchen." I've been tired of you all these years. ”
The tall man looked at him from head to tail in disbelief, and then touched his head in a wry manner. also felt that his actions just now were a bit rude, so he smiled honestly and said, "My name is Chu Jingtian...... Well, that's not a nice name, or you can call me Da Niu like them. ”
Chu is shocking, and he has a shocking name, but he is also a general.
"Okay then, I'll call you Brother Niu in the future. Ye Wuchen said with a smile. Although this person is a bit arrogant, it is easy to win the favor of others.
"Hehe...... Chu Jingtian smiled a little embarrassedly, not too good at talking. "That'...... Brother Ye, I'll finish dividing these fruits first, and then I'll chat with you or something. ”
He turned around, took a light breath, and yelled, "Everyone, come on, your big bull brother is back!"
Ye Wuchen, who was caught off guard, was shocked by this roar, his eardrums were buzzing, and his gaze at Chu Jingtian changed slightly-this small sealed place actually had such an amazing character.
His voice undoubtedly came far away. Immediately, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps not far away, and a large group of children ran over, holding all kinds of utensils in their hands. There are baskets, small baskets, and stone bowls. Then he consciously lined up in order in front of Chu Jingtian, shouted in unison, "Brother Da Niu is good", and looked at him with blank eyes.
Chu Jingtian's waist straightened, and he smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry for everyone, I accidentally fell into the ditch before, and it took a long time to come out, so I came back late today." Come on, come on...... Everyone has a share, and it won't be smaller than usual. ”
The old man smiled and looked at the scene in front of him, which was one of his daily compulsory courses, not only to exercise his physical strength and endurance, but also to cultivate his mental character. Although the people of his Chu family do not have to be the best people, they must not be evil people.
Chu Jingtian kept putting two in one hand, constantly putting in the small basket in front of him, and then watched them leave happily, his face full of satisfaction and excitement, obviously happy with it. Ye Wuchen watched quietly, thinking about his life. Suddenly, he noticed a dodging gaze behind a tree not far away, he turned his head to look, met a pair of crystal eyes and a white shadow, and was slightly stunned. And the gaze immediately fled as frightened, and hid behind the tree, but the man did not leave, as if waiting for something.
Finally. When the last child shouted "Goodbye, Brother Da Niu" and left happily, Chu Jingtian rubbed his hands. It seems that there is still no end to it. From an early age, he took this burden as a pleasure. When I was five years old, I was brought here by my grandfather. Therefore, he did not have the opportunity to be contaminated with the filth of the outside world, and his heart was excessively pure.
At this moment, the petite white shadow finally quietly walked out from behind the tree, lowered his head and came to Chu Jingtian, and shouted timidly: "Brother Da Niu." ”
Ye Wuchen was attracted to her from the moment she came out, and his eyes kept moving with her. She looked like she was only ten years old, and her whole body was only delicate. She was dressed in a snow-white dress that was crumpled and crumpled. But it's not messy. What caught his eye was her long snow-white hair and two intertwined scars on her face.
The two intersecting scars extend from the left and right foreheads to the right and below the base of the left ear. The destruction of the whole face is unbearable.
Chu Jingtian hurriedly stretched out his hand to the basket again, but his expression quickly froze, and he only took out a big fruit that looked like an apple, he touched his head curtly, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, white-haired little sister, it seems that I counted the wrong number today, and this is the only one left." But this one is the biggest. ”
The girl took it carefully and smiled sweetly: "It's okay." Thank you, Brother Niu. ”
She glanced at Ye Wuchen, who had been looking at him, shyly, and then ran away quickly, leaving his sight.
Looking at her delicate back gradually disappearing into the night, Ye Wuchen was dazed. I didn't retract my gaze for a long time.
"Who is she?" Ye Wuchen asked with some distraction.
The old man glanced at him and said, "She appeared here a week ago, and she must have inadvertently broken in and couldn't get out." It's just that...... Alas. You can see it, her face is too scary. And her white hair is very similar to the white hair of the most murderous race of the year, the snow wolf clan, so everyone here rejects her. Whoever sees her will knock her away. It's just that she doesn't have evil in her, and she's so young that she doesn't have the ability to survive on her own, and maybe the fruit she takes here every night is her only food. ”
Ye Wuchen didn't say a word, stood up and walked in the direction where the girl had disappeared before. Chu was puzzled and shouted, "Brother Ye, where are you going?" I still want to hear you talk about you." ”
Ye Wuchen didn't seem to hear it, and soon disappeared from their sight. Chu Jingtian scratched his head and muttered, "Could it be that you are going to Xiaojie?"
A trickle of water murmured, and the white-haired girl squatted quietly by the stream, washing the fruits in her hands with the clear water. In the cool night breeze, her petite figure is lonely and lonely, which makes people feel pitiful.
After washing, she stood up and wiped the water stains with her clothes. Suddenly sensing something, she subconsciously turned around, and then looked at the figure approaching her at a loss. She recognized it as the man who had been watching him before.
Ye Wuchen walked slowly, slowly walked in front of her, and looked at those eyes quietly. It was the star-like eyes that conquered him. Lonely, panicked, confused, helpless, all kinds of emotions fluctuate in a panic in these starry eyes.
Chapter 003 Ye Ningxue
The girl subconsciously took a step back, but did not run away as usual. By the faint light, she could see his face clearly, and even more clearly his eyes. He's good-looking...... The girl's heart can't help but think, and those eyes are full of vicissitudes that do not match her age, but there is no trace of disgust, and there is a touching demonic charm, which makes people deeply addicted to it as long as they look at it, and they can no longer extricate themselves.
She stared at him for a long time like a demon, then looked at him, then looked at the fruit in her hand, secretly swallowed a small saliva, and then gently picked up the fruit, and said timidly: "Big brother, do you want to eat?"
Ye Wuchen smiled dumbly, he squatted down and shook his head with a smile. Then he reached out and slowly approached her face, brushing it lightly over the two terrible scars on her face, a faint colorless light shining on her fingertips. The girl was completely stunned, her eyes widened, her mouth wide open, motionless as if she had been immobilized, and she completely forgot to dodge.
After a few seconds, Ye Wuchen withdrew his hands and frowned slightly. He asked softly, "Little sister, what's your name?"
The girl continued to stay for a long time before she said weakly, "I...... I don't have a name. ”
"No name, where is your home, and why is it in this place?"
"I don't have a home...... I woke up right here and I didn't know anything. The girl shook her head. His voice was gentle, slowly calming her pounding heart.
"You don't remember the past, do you?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then looked at him and nodded slightly, her eyes full of helplessness. She has no home, no past, not even her own name, almost everyone here hates her, every time they see her, they beat her with sticks and stones, chase her, she can only run away desperately, and then hide in a no-man's corner and cry secretly. She just instinctively wants to live, without partners, without goals, with nothing.
"I see" Ye Wuchen smiled again, the same inexplicable appearance here, the same no past. Maybe that's the wonderful fate. There was deep pity in his heart, and he said softly: "Do you want to have a brother, a brother who will not let you starve, let alone let others bully you." ”
The girl looked at him in surprise, with a blank look on her face, not knowing how to answer.
"Shall I be your brother? I won't let you starve, and I won't let people bully you. ”
The girl's eyes widened, and she was overwhelmed by the fruit that was bigger than the palm of her hand. Her heart and the corners of her eyes were sour, as if something was about to rise. She said timidly, "I ...... They're all right with me, they hate me, they beat me because I'm ......."
Ye Wuchen stood up and gently took her little hand: "Come with me, from now on, you are my sister." No one can bully you anymore. ”
The girl looked at him in a daze, and there was a strange warmth in the hand that held her left hand. Before she knew it, her eyes were filled with mist. (To be continued......)
