Chapter 199: Going to Beijing
Nanshan Cemetery is located in Sihe Village, under the jurisdiction of Jinshi.
This place is the hometown of Xu Qiuyue's mother Zheng Xiu.
It is said that there are actually many relatives in the village who are in the mother's lineage.
But since Voldemort's incident, his reputation has been stinking.
Relatives and gods and horses avoid it, for fear of being relocated.
The Desolate Cemetery welcomes two guests today.
The howling wind blew through the erected tombstones, and there was a faint echo.
The people buried in the cemetery here are all villagers of Sihe Village, and the tombstones are horizontally and vertically lined up, and it is estimated that there are no less than hundreds.
Cheng Ru took a bouquet of flowers and placed it in front of the isolated tombstone, her expression complicated and speechless for a long time.
More than two years have passed in the game, and although the reality has only passed for more than two months, the sadness in my heart has been a lot.
On the other side, Qiu Yue is also putting incense on the graves of her mother and grandparents.
The expression on his face was calm, and he didn't see much sadness.
Reality plus the time in the game, nearly twenty years have passed, and that incident back then is far away from her.
"Times have changed, if only it had been ~~"
Qiu Yue wanted to say something, but her mouth turned into a sigh: "Everything has been reduced to history and memory, no matter how much you say, there is no point." ”
With a flick of his fingers, a fresh breeze blew.
Weeds and dust that have accumulated on the tombstones for many years have been blown off.
His eyes fell on the black-and-white posthumous photo placed next to the tombstone, and Qiu Yue also fell silent.
Gazing for a long time, for a long time.
The morning sun sets a golden glow, wrapping the entire cemetery in a thin veil.
"Squeak~"
In the distance, a gray-haired squirrel pouted, stepped on a few tombstones and disappeared into the forest.
Falling sparrows, squeaking.
On both sides of Nanshan Mountain, where the cemetery is located, are deserted rice fields.
Since Sihe Village entered the new rural era, few people have gone to farming.
The whole cemetery was lonely, except for the two people standing in front of each other.
"Almost, Xiaoru, let's go."
A hand was placed on the girl's shoulder.
Cheng Ru turned her head slightly and pursed her lips: "My father, he, used to cause a lot of trouble to my cousin's family, I~~"
"I'm sorry!"
"I'm sorry!"
Maybe it was touching a sensitive nerve of the girl, or the calmness and growth of the game for two years, which made her say this.
Tears rolled down the corners of the girl's eyes.
Qiu Yue didn't say anything, reached out and took her into her arms, stroked her long black hair and said, "It's not your fault." ”
"There's no need to blame yourself."
The girl cried louder.
The cemetery echoed and wept, looking a little sad.
Fortunately, it's daytime at the moment, and it's a little less gloomy, and if it's at night, I'm afraid it will be very scary.
Cheng Ru cried for a while, and most of her emotions finally calmed down, wiped away the tears on her face, and said embarrassedly; "I'm sorry, cousin!"
"The Point Guard Is Here"
"Let's wipe it first."
By the time the two of them left the cemetery, it was close to eleven o'clock.
When I arrived at the Jinshi high-speed rail station, it was already twelve o'clock.
There were only a few staff members in the empty hall, and more than a dozen passengers dragging suitcases.
The pomp and circumstance of seeing hundreds or even hundreds of people here is long gone.
After checking the ticket to verify the identity information and passing the security check, everything is as usual in Qiuyue.
With modern equipment, I couldn't detect the difference between her current appearance and her ID card.
The lake of light and shadow formed by the refraction of the water mist obscures the machine's camera.
Their trip was to take a high-speed train from Jinshi to Hangzhou, and then transfer to a plane to go to Beijing.
If the whole journey is smooth, it can be completed in six or seven hours.
But then again, in fact, from Jinshi to Shangjing, Qiuyue flew over by herself much faster than by making an airplane.
It is estimated that it will only take ten or twenty minutes.
Sitting in the waiting room, Qiu Yue and Cheng Ru chatted, and by the way, they also took out their mobile phones to flip through the content of the messages, but several arrears messages popped up, making people feel embarrassed.
"I've been playing for a long time, and I haven't seen any charges for online calls, and I'm almost forgetting that I have this stubble."
The white high-speed train is speeding through the tracks.
Silver-white planes fly high altitudes.
The scorching sun of the sky shifted, from the middle of noon, to the west.
It was early seven o'clock in the evening.
A plane bound for Shangjing gradually lowered its altitude and dodged its lights into the runway.
When the plane came to a standstill, there were only a few people coming down from it, and when I counted it, there were only eight people.
"The flow of people is so small, I can't get back the fuel money for every flight, and I'm afraid it won't be long before the plane will be suspended."
Qiu Yue looked back at the plane and couldn't help but think in her heart.
The emergence of the Great World of Cultivating Immortals has brought a huge blow to reality, and many industries have begun to collapse due to the sparse flow of people.
For example, the high-speed rail trains that extend in all directions in China, as well as highways and so on.
Infrastructure, which is expensive and expensive to maintain, could usher in a wave of extremely violent closures.
"I suddenly realized that the emergence of the Great World of Cultivating Immortals may not be a good thing for the country."
The thoughts that flashed through her mind quickly made her expel her.
In any case, it is not her turn to worry about such things as national strategy.
Since the country dares to let this game go live, there must be its reasons and ways to deal with the shock.
"Actually, it's not bad to stop selling, anyway, I don't need a game device to log in."
Thinking about the situation that those players couldn't log in before the server was opened, and only they could log in, Qiu Yue couldn't help but smile in her heart.
But if you think about it, you should understand that after the release of this game, it is impossible to stop selling it.
A tenfold difference in flow velocity is equivalent to a tenfold increase in life out of thin air.
No one can resist this temptation.
Anyone who wants to cut off the masses from accessing the game will become a public enemy.
No matter how high your prestige is in the past, it is useless.
Shangjing City, the capital of China, has a lot more people than the lower-level capital.
There is also a lot of traffic.
Stopped a taxi, the driver was a middle-aged driver, he saw a big and a small two, and said: "Brother, explain in advance, now the starting price in Beijing is one hundred and two, and each mile charges eight yuan." ”
As soon as the old driver spoke, Cheng Ru's eyes widened in fright, and he couldn't help but say: "You're too dark, the starting price is one hundred and two, why don't you grab it?" ”
The old driver said: "If you like to do it or not, there are few people in Beijing now, and it would be good to be able to give you a ride." ”
"You people from other places may not know very well, if it weren't for my real lack of money, so I wouldn't do the work of the drip car master, who wouldn't want to enter the game now."
The old driver seems to be a chatterbox, and he beeps for a long time before he drives.
Qiu Yue was a little stunned after hearing this.
In lower-tier cities, there are many ordinary people, and there is no foundation for raising the price of fees.
But in a place like Shangjing, where the rich gather, there is a basis for raising prices.
What's more, in a certain island country, there is a precedent of high cost for manual taxis.
At present, it is normal for high-priced taxis to appear in Beijing.
"Okay, master, send us to the North Courtyard."
It's just a little money, and Qiu Yue is too lazy to rip it off.
Cheng Ru pulled the corner of Qiu Yue's clothes and looked at her.
She apparently felt that it was too expensive and did not want to obey the wishes of the black car driver.
"Don't worry, get in the car."
Qiuyue rubbed the little girl's head and gave her a reassuring look.
Cheng Ru half-bit her lip and whispered: "We can do buses and subways, I have checked the route guide on the Internet before, it is very simple." ”
