Buzz!

A piercing sound sounded, the hazy dream was shattered, and Lu Ming wanted to get up, only to feel that his body was as heavy as cement. He is conscious, but he can't mobilize his body.

It seems that I am not really awake yet, just half-asleep...... Later, maybe you will think that you are awake and you are still in a dream...... Lu Ming tried his best to concentrate his consciousness, wanting to regain control of his body.

Buzz Buzz...... Di Di Di ......

The buzzer-like sound swelled more and more in Lu Ming's head, and his already fragmented thoughts could not be condensed, and with the buzzing sound, Lu Ming's mind became more and more dizzy. In the drowsiness, I only felt the shouts of some people.

The chaotic sound seemed to have played a slight role, allowing Lu Ming to accumulate illusory power bit by bit, and finally, he opened his eyes in one go, completely out of the half-asleep state.

His head was still a little dizzy, his vision was blurry at first, Lu Ming blinked hard, and his eyes gradually reflected a faint moonlight. The moonlight poured in from the windowsill, leaving a few ribbons in the air, and there was a strange fragrance in the air.

Outside the window, a strange-looking bird, with a purple beak and a wrinkled face like a mouse, let out a burst of buzzer-like shrill calls.

As far as the eye could see, there was a dark brown wooden windowsill pinned to it with a white curtain of unknown material. Lu Ming felt that the surrounding environment was a little unfamiliar, and frowned slightly.

He got up and sat up suddenly, his back ached, his body staggered, and he almost fell off the bed. In front is a khaki wardrobe with intricate patterns around it, and below it is a wood-colored floor, and a desk is tucked into a corner next to it.

In the center of the desk was a thick book, the paper was floating, and it seemed that someone often looked at it, and there were several strange hieroglyphs written on the cover, and many strange creatures that Lu Ming had never seen were drawn under the words.

Next to the book was a brand-new silver-white oil lamp, with a round base, the size of a palm, and a metal fence on the upper floor, the center of which was a wick soaked in lamp oil that was slowly burning, and a circle of transparent glass in the middle of which was filled with grease and a blue-purple light.

Next to the oil lamp was a yellowed notebook full of strange symbols, with a hint of brown on it, which seemed to be a sign of dried oil.

Lu Ming slowly looked around, opposite the window sill was a white wall, and there was a golden embossed pattern composed of circles and lines where the wall and the ceiling were connected.

The whole room is not big, there is a wood-colored door on the right side, there is a full-length mirror next to the door on the left, and the door also has a pattern similar to the wall, maybe it is some kind of decoration style?

On the left wall and between the bed was a white bedside table, on which was also placed the same oil lamp, burning and emitting an indescribable fragrance.

Rubbing his eyes, he moved his body to the side of the bed, and subconsciously kicked with his feet, a chill came from the soles of his feet, his body stiffened, he slowly lowered his head to look, and slowly raised his hands, looking at his small and immature palms.

Lu Ming was inexplicably frightened, jumped out of bed suddenly, and slowly moved his body to the full-length mirror next to the door, and gradually revealed Lu Ming's appearance under the faint light.

He is about 1.3 meters tall, with black hair, brown eyes, a blue-white shirt, and a black shorts......

This...... Lu Ming suddenly took a breath of cool air, and many helpless and messy speculations surged in his heart.

He patted his face blankly, feeling the pain before he came back to his senses.

The words I don't know, the layout style that I have never seen before, I have become a child in myself, and they all explain a certain event!

I, I'm not going to cross over, am I? Lu Ming's mouth opened little by little.

He grew up reading online articles, and often had fantasies about it, but when he really encountered it, it was difficult to accept it for a while.

Lu Ming took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down the hazy mind that had just woken up, and as his thoughts gradually became clearer, fragments of memories suddenly jumped out and slowly appeared in his mind!

Lu Ming, a native of Star Luo City of the Star Luo Empire of the Douluo Continent, was taken in by the shopkeeper of the Fengtian Tavern in Star Luo City since he was a child.

Everyone in this world has a martial soul, and every tenth level you need to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings to be promoted.

Fatherless and motherless, after nearly two years of literacy and arithmetic, he has shown extraordinary talent for calculation.

Last month, while playing in the river, he accidentally fell into the river and subsequently lost consciousness.

Lu Ming had a slight headache, and gradually felt that there was an extra language in his head, and looked at the strange book on the table.

The words on it gradually became familiar, and after a few seconds of recollection, Lu Ming gradually recognized the handwriting on it.

This is the exclusive text of Douluo Continent, which reads "Douluo Continent Soul Beast Illustrated Book", and another old book should be changed to a kind of account book, which is full of some kind of expenses and income.

Lu Ming sat back on the bed, calming down the thoughts in his heart, feeling that his mind was getting heavier and heavier. He tried his best to squeeze the memories of before he crossed over, but he didn't find anything strange happening.

It seems that it is just the usual work, being scolded, the same boring work day after day, the annoying manager, dragging the tired body to sleep. But...... Why...... Why was it that when I woke up, I was put in such a situation.

The sky outside gradually brightened, and a few rays of glow that had escaped from the moon swept into the moonlight and stirred and played.

Only a few drunkards walked by in the deserted streets, and from time to time there were ugly bird chirpings and a few jokes of drunkards.

Click

There was a sound of metal turning, and with a slight creak, an old man walked in.

The old man was dressed in a linen-colored robe, with only a few strands of sparse snow-white hair left on his head, his eyes were sunken, a few bloodshot strands hung on his eyes, and the white goatee on the corner of his mouth twitched twice from time to time.

As soon as the old man came in, he saw Lu Ming sitting on the edge of the bed, his body was stunned, he rubbed his eyes, as if he was a little incredulous, and then walked to Lu Ming's side tremblingly.

His eyes turned red all of a sudden, and teardrops of bean-sized tears flowed down the age spots on his face and hung on the goatee next to his mouth.

"Xiao Ming?"

At this time, Lu Ming broke away from the chaotic thoughts and found that someone had entered the room. Lu Ming slowly raised his head and saw the old man in front of him, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Grandpa, I'm awake"

Lu Ming could only pretend to be reluctant to answer, he still couldn't accept this new identity and his "unfamiliar" kinship.

This is the shopkeeper of the Fengtian Tavern who adopted Lu Ming since he was a child, known as the "bragging skin Lu old man", it is rumored that he traveled to the mainland in his early years and saw many strange things.

When I meet people who come to the tavern to drink, I always like to tell people about their young experiences, but no one believes the old man Lu's words, and he just treats it as an after-dinner conversation when he has nothing to do.

Old man Lu has no children and no daughters until he picked up a baby somewhere a few years ago, he loves him very much, and he has adopted Lu Ming since he was a child, and he has treated him as his own grandson.

Old man Lu's body trembled slightly, and he hugged Lu Ming, "It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up, I'm scared of grandpa, there's nothing uncomfortable in my body, I can't run to the river to play in the future, do you want to eat......"

Lu Ming's body stiffened slightly, "Grandpa, I'm in good health and there's nothing uncomfortable, I promise not to go to the river to play in the future."

Lu Ming secretly complained in his heart, and suddenly faced a person he didn't know very well but was so close, he didn't know how to deal with it, and he didn't know what to say.

"Grandpa, I want to drink jade soup", in order to alleviate the embarrassing situation, Lu Ming quickly diverted the topic and made the distance between the two more comfortable.

"Okay, grandpa, let's go and let people do it", Old Man Lu let go of the hand holding Lu Ming, which made Lu Ming feel relieved.

Rubbing Lu Ming's head, he stood up and looked back, "Xiao Ming, you have a good rest, I'll let someone make jade soup."

Old man Lu's body was much lighter, he didn't know what little song he was humming in his mouth, he walked out briskly, and closed the door carefully when he arrived at the door.

"Old Li Tou, hurry up and make a bowl of jade soup and bring it up, forget it, don't do it, I'll come in person."

"What's the matter, the shopkeeper, how did you cook in person today?"

"My Xiao Ming woke up and wanted to drink jade soup, so it's better for me to cook it myself. Also, don't shout so loudly, my Xiao Ming wants to recuperate! Do you understand the retreat! ”

"Oh, the little shopkeeper is awake, this is a great joy"

"Shopkeeper, you don't let Lao Li speak loudly, your voice is louder than him"

"Go and go, drink your wine, it's none of your business, hurry up and leave after drinking, the next three days will be closed, my Xiao Ming should awaken the martial spirit, and there will be no time in the next few days"

"Hey, the shopkeeper, can't you go out of business, how many of our brothers ......"

……

Lu Ming looked up at the morning glow on the side of the street, listened to the noise outside the door, took a deep breath, calmed down the chaotic and hazy thoughts, he was an orphan since he was a child, he rarely could experience this feeling of being cared for, although it was strange. However, it seems that ...... That's pretty good, too.
