Volume 1 Chapter 167: Chinese New Year
After a brief tidying up of the messy housekeeping, I closed the door and went back to the back room to get ready to rest.
Early the next morning, as soon as I opened the door of the store, I saw Pang Qingzao in a trench coat waiting at the door, and he seemed to be eager to hear the next story.
That's a really interesting lad, I thought.
After Pang Qing came in, I was still the same, ran a pot of tea, poured tea for me and him, and then covered my lap with a blanket, and once again told Pang Qing the story later.
We walked in the desert for two days and didn't go out yet, and at this time Dawu and I were already a little flustered, because we had already run out of water, and if we didn't go out tomorrow, we would have symptoms of water shortage.
"Third Master Qiu, we may have gone in the wrong direction, why don't we try it in a different direction."
"No, it must be this direction, let's go forward and see, changing directions now is equivalent to going for two more days, we don't have the resources and energy."
Eventually, we walked all day in the same direction we had started, and finally we saw a black dot that was the same stone area we had seen when we came, which meant that we were definitely in the right direction.
By this time the black storm had disappeared, and we saw hope and our hearing had a big recovery, and it took us half a day to walk to the stone area, where we found a lot of food and water that had been buried in the sand.
After Dawu and I replenished our strength, we immediately left the stone area and headed towards the village of Diyuan Muer.
Fortunately, a day later, we finally returned to the village safely, at this time Di Yuan Mumu was very surprised to see us return safely, and when he asked about the whereabouts of the rest of us, Dawu and I looked at each other and chose to be silent.
After that, we contacted Uncle Long and asked him to send someone from home to pick us up.
After telling Uncle Long the news of the success of the plan, he also told us a good news, and he also lived up to expectations and wiped out most of Yang Laosan's forces.
It's just that they don't know that Boss Yang and Boss Yang will never come back, whether they die at the hands of giants or are trapped in Ruyi City forever by the illusion, this is the same for me.
A week later, Dawu and I returned to the Zhang family's house, at this time, most of the stores in the handicap were successfully rescued by Uncle Long, and many bosses who betrayed the Zhang family before were now ruled by Uncle Long, and most of the stores were run by newcomers.
I asked Uncle Long if he had the whereabouts of his second brother, but Uncle Long shook his head at me, and there was no news from the Kunlun Mountain.
"Third master, there is one more thing I think I need to tell you."
"You say."
Uncle Long looked at me, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said: "Baisha has also disappeared, at first I thought he followed you to Lop Nur, but then I heard that he seems to have returned to Kunlun Mountain, as for what he went back there for, I'm afraid he also entered the interior of Kunlun Mountain like the second master." ”
I grew up with a mouth, and my mood became very complicated, why is everyone running to Kunlun Mountain?
What is there in Kunlun Mountain that will attract everyone there?
After I came back, I thought back to Ruyi City, and I still had some lingering palpitations, the illusion there was too desperate, but fortunately, Dawu and I escaped from it in the last two chances.
Of course, what I think about the most is whether Li Xun escaped from it or not, I always feel that he has hidden too many things from us, so that we don't know what the truth about Ruyi City is.
I think he must know all the truth about Ruyi City, otherwise he wouldn't have the guts to propose that he take us back to Ruyi City when I found him after encountering the terrifying circular illusion for the first time, and he resolutely agreed.
But the suspicion is that he could go back on his own, so why did he have to agree to our invitation?
It's a pity that this time our goal is not to find out the truth about Ruyi City, nor is it to get anything from it, my goal has been achieved, so as for what happens in the end, I don't really care.
After I came back, I asked Cha Sisi to come back from the disc shop, and Cha Sisi saw that I had returned safely, and smiled at me for a long time, and I was a little embarrassed.
On this day, I stood in the courtyard of the house and watched the snow outside, tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and today is Chinese New Year's Eve.
For the past five years, I have been in prison for the New Year, and every time I think about home, I feel extremely lonely.
However, this year I came out of it, but I still didn't have a family member with me. Originally, the second brother and eldest sister could get together with me for a long-lost New Year, but the two of them all entered the Kunlun Mountains because they didn't know what attracted them.
I sighed heavily, and then said to Cha Sisi, "Let's go to the market together this afternoon, I haven't been out on Chinese New Year's Eve for many years." ”
"Really? In the past, I have always spent the New Year in the mountains, and I have no concept of Chinese New Year's Eve in the city, if you want, let's go now! ”
Looking at Cha Sisi, who was very happy, I couldn't help but smile. We went out into the streets together, and despite the heavy snowfall, the streets were still crowded with people, and the lights everywhere were full of the smell of the New Year.
I was walking around with Cha Sisi, and I also bought her sugar gourds, and she said to me with a little red face: "Sugar gourds are for children, why did you buy them for someone as big as me!" ”
I laughed and replied, "Adults are just grown up children, sugar gourds, what can't be eaten." ”
"You'll say it!"
After an afternoon of shopping with Cha Sisi, when he returned to the house, he found that Dawu had asked many people who lived in the house to buy lanterns and light up the entire house.
Uncle Long told me that in the past few years, the second brother often sat in the courtyard on Chinese New Year's Eve and lost his mind, saying that it would be good if Qiuzi was there.
I was slightly stunned, I didn't expect that after a year, I was actually sitting in this position and missing my second brother....
