Chapter 205: The City Wall
Ma Zheng didn't know anything about Yudu, he just wanted to send Wang Yiqiu away quickly, and said hesitantly: "That's okay." That should be better. ”
Seeing this, Wang Yiqiu stopped holding Ma Zheng.
Ma Zheng immediately ran away.
Wang Yiqiu slowly paced home, thinking about the next countermeasures along the way.
She had been in and out of the city once, without any hindrance.
But if he can really go in and out at will like this, why does Jiang Longchang have to wait for his old brother's reply in Xudu?
Wang Yiqiu thought about it for a long time, but couldn't come to a conclusion.
She returned home to see her sleeping parents, and it wasn't until the morning light came in that she made her decision.
Wang Yiqiu's mind moved last time, and as he walked, the road under his feet became a loess road leading to Xudu. In the mist, she could see the majestic outline of the city in the distance.
This time, she set off from her home, walked out of the community, walked along a road, walked for more than half an hour, came out of the residential area, walked a long way on the wide main road, and still did not see the shadow of Xudu.
She was a little flustered and a little disappointed, but it was only for a while, and she hadn't given up yet.
Walking to the intersection of the main road, seeing the extra traffic and people that began early in the morning, Wang Yiqiu gritted his teeth and continued to walk with his legs not too difficult.
As soon as she stepped onto the sidewalk, Wang Yiqiu felt a change in the afterglow.
The asphalt road turned into loess, but instead of extending forward, it extended to Wang Yiqiu's right-hand side.
Wang Yiqiu was pleasantly surprised, and after stepping on the loess road, his steps seemed to become brisk.
She ran briskly, and it took a long time for her to see the city in the mist.
Wang Yiqiu was tired and sweaty, but her mood was relaxed.
Running into the fog, Wang Yiqiu saw a huge stone.
She gradually stopped, looked up in confusion, and looked at the wall in front of her.
The stones are stacked high, and the appearance is indeed the city wall of the city.
Wang Yiqiu once followed Jiang Longchang to line up on the inside of the city wall, squatting in the corner of the wall for a while, and Wang Yiqiu had seen the appearance, color, and texture of those stones for a long time.
She reached out and stroked the cold stone, looking left and right for a moment.
She didn't seem to be walking on the main road leading to the city gate this time, so she walked along the road and saw no city gates, only the city walls.
But this is the city wall of the capital after all.
Wang Yiqiu was not discouraged, holding on to the stones, she chose a random direction and walked all the way.
I don't know how long I walked like this, Wang Yiqiu hasn't seen the huge city gate yet.
That's when she panicked.
She remembered Jiang Longchang's introduction.
The area of the capital is very huge. The divisions within the city are like tree rings, drawn in circles according to time. That's not counting in "years", it's in terms of "100 years". Centuries after centuries, like living creatures, they have grown.
How big is the capital city, probably no one can say.
Wang Yiqiu walked along the city wall like this, if he was lucky, he might have touched the city gate after walking two steps, but if he was unlucky, he might have to go around the city gate in a circle.
How long does it take to measure the length of the city wall with your feet?
Wang Yiqiu stopped.
She racked her brains to remember what she had seen in Xudu.
There are tall buildings in the city. There are many skyscrapers in the outer ring of New Century City, which is very similar to a modern city.
High-rise buildings near the city gates...... High-rise buildings near the city gates......
Wang Yiqiu recalled for a long time, and finally recalled the pointed shape of a skyscraper.
The roof of that building was designed with a unique shape, like a crown.
Wang Yiqiu stepped back quickly, away from the city wall, and tried to tilt his head to look at the top of the buildings that emerged from the city wall.
After retreating like this for a while, Wang Yiqiu felt that he was in a fog.
She braked sharply to a halt.
The fog covered the city again, blocking Wang Yiqiu's line of sight.
Wang Yiqiu broke out in a cold sweat.
She realized that the solution she had come up with would not be implemented. If you are far away, there will be fog, and if you are close, you can only touch the city wall.
Wang Yiqiu lowered his head, squatted down again, and touched the loess on the ground. The loess road underfoot doesn't give her any hints either.
There are no shortcuts on the road to Xudu.
Perhaps the first time you enter the capital is a shortcut.
Wang Yiqiu wanted to give up at this moment and wanted to try her luck in the Third Hospital.
It doesn't always go well there.
Wang Yiqiu raised her hand.
When she died, she was wearing a watch. She was also glad she was wearing a watch. At least, she knew the time now, knew how long she had been walking around the walls.
It's only been two hours......
Wang Yiqiu exhaled and stepped through the fog again.
Let's look for a little longer......
Wang Yiqiu thought like this, and started running along the city wall again.
She ran for almost twenty minutes in one breath this time, and finally saw something different.
There is a bulge on the wall in front.
It doesn't look like a city gate, but it's a little bit of a change.
Wang Yiqiu quickened his pace, and his two heavy legs suddenly had more strength.
She ran under the bulge, looked up, and saw that the thing on the wall was a man.
The man hung on the wall, ragged, and could be vaguely seen to be a robe or something.
He was like an aging gecko, crawling slowly on the city walls.
He's still talking.
"Let me in...... Let me in...... Let me in......"
Wang Yiqiu took two steps back in fright.
That person didn't notice Wang Yiqiu's existence at all, just climbed numbly.
Wang Yiqiu had goosebumps on her body. She didn't dare to stay here, and she didn't think to talk to the man, so she panicked and ran again.
She was very tired from running this time, as if she was being chased by something, and she ran wildly.
She saw something unusual again. This time, it was not that there were more raised figures on the city wall, but that there was a person walking along the city wall.
The man's back looked much more normal, wearing modern clothes, and he walked steadily.
Wang Yiqiu was surprised and blurted out.
The man in front of him stopped and turned his head to look over.
Wang Yiqiu felt that the other party was a little familiar.
The two men looked at each other, one stopped, and the other walked forward.
Wang Yiqiu approached, and only then did he remember who the person in front of him was.
"It's you!"
"It's you."
After being confused for a while, the other party also remembered Wang Yiqiu.
They've only met once, but that one is so impressive. Whoever sees the first ghost after death, or the ghost he encounters at the gate of the city, will be deeply impressed by him.
After recognizing each other, the two also discovered each other's awkward situation.
Wang Yiqiu remembered that the young man in front of him was a family of three who entered the capital together. At that time, the young man was still very cheerful, and complained about the English inscription on the city gate. But now, the young man showed fatigue, and when he saw Wang Yiqiu, an "acquaintance", he didn't say much.
"You ran out too." The young man said.
Wang Yiqiu nodded.
"Didn't find the gates?" The young man said a word of nonsense.
Wang Yiqiu nodded again.
Both men were silent.
"My mom and dad are still in there...... Maybe they've already run out to find me. The young man suddenly spoke, and cursed angrily, "Why is this place like this?!" ”
Wang Yiqiu couldn't answer.
"How long have you been out?" Wang Yiqiu asked expectantly.
The young man lifted his eyelids, turned and walked on, "It's been a long time. ”
Wang Yiqiu was stunned.
Many days......
Only then did she remember that when she first entered the city, Jiang Longchang, who was guarding the city gate, seemed to have said that if you enter, it would be difficult to get out, and you had to go through the formalities when you went out...... It turns out that the meaning of that sentence is not that it is difficult to get out of the city, but that it is difficult to go back after leaving the city.
Wang Yiqiu didn't know for a while whether she should continue to walk.
Young people also have parents in the city – or outside the city. He certainly won't leave the capital easily.
Wang Yiqiu just wants to come back and find black and white impermanence. There is also a station of black and white impermanence in the yang world. Which of the two avenues is more laborious is not necessarily.
Wang Yiqiu was feeling troubled when he saw the young man suddenly stop again. As if he had discovered something, he jumped on the spot, screamed, and ran forward.
Wang Yiqiu's heart jumped, and she hurriedly followed.
The two ran one after the other for a long time, and after a while, Wang Yiqiu, who was behind, saw many figures in the distance.
The young man was still running, but Wang Yiqiu stopped, his body trembling, and he felt a little frightened.
There are a lot of people in front......
Too much......
On the ground and on the walls, there were people.
Wang Yiqiu shuddered, and saw that the young man also stopped.
