Chapter 2: Tortillas (Revised)
In the early morning of the second day, the sun shone softly on the huge canopy of the century-old locust tree at the entrance of the village.
Under the still dim trees, a few children of 7 or 8 years old stood sparsely, all carrying large or small coarse cloth burdens behind their thin bodies, waiting quietly.
Yu Wan is stepping on a stool in the yard at this moment, holding the edge of the tank with both hands, poking his head into the tank, staring at the reflection on the water...
In yesterday's dream, she would only glance at the girl when she hit the water.
So when she got up this morning, she hurried to find something that looked like a mirror, wanting to take a closer look at what she looked like now......
Finally, this large water tank was found......
At this time, the light was still relatively dim, but Yu Wan could still see the girl with silver curly hair on the surface of the water, her eyes were wide-eyed, her eyes were dripping, and she was also observing Yu Wan on the water......
Well, the silver-white curly hair, even if it is tied by the two hairs on the top of the head, the hair is still bending into circles one after another with all its might...
The eyebrows are also silvery-white, the pupils are still black as always, and the nose... The bridge of the nose is higher than before the crossing, and it looks very straight...... The skin also looks much whiter than before......
After confirming them one by one, Yu Wan found that except for the eyebrows and hair that were different from his pre-crossing self, he was still quite similar to his childhood self on the whole, and he was already more than 90% of them.
However, this hair ...... She fiddled with her hands and let go of her hair......
Looking at the tank again, the girl in the water was also draped in curls, and it seemed to be more curly after being loosely developed, Q bomb Q bomb, like a mixed-race doll......
Alice must have been envious when she saw it......
Yu Wan and the girl in the water had four pairs of eyes, and their thoughts flew out of the sky, although Alice was born with curly hair, her curls were not elastic at all, and she would complain to herself every time they met......
Alas...... Is it different......
She sighed at the same time as the girl on the water, the world seemed to be very unfriendly to half-breeds......
"Wanwan~"
Yu Wan came back to her senses and looked up at the courtyard gate, the upper part of the courtyard gate was in the style of a hollow railing, and through the gap, she saw Mo Mei standing outside and waving at her.
She jumped down the stairs and ran to the gate, opening it for Momei.
"Aunt Mo is early~"
"Wake up quite early today, let's go, let's go in, Aunt Mo will comb your hair."
Mo Mei looked at Yu Wan, who was wearing silver curly hair and her eyes were shining, her right hand lifted the burden that had slipped slightly off her shoulder, and pulled Yu Wan with her left hand and entered the house together.
put the burden on the table, picked up the comb next to the bed, and dragged Yu Wan to the outside of the hospital.
The two sat on the stool one after the other, and Mo Mei combed her hair behind her and told her.
"Evening, at the beginning of this morning, I will leave for Donglin Town, and I have to listen to your Uncle Yu on the way, and follow your Uncle Yu...... When we get to Donglin Town, we'll behave well... Aunt Mo believes that Wanwan will definitely be able to become an immortal master's apprentice...... Well, it's another beautiful late ......."
After combing her hair, Mo Mei went into the room and put down the comb, took out the package she had just carried, sat down and continued to advise.
Yu Wan also turned around, took the package, and continued to listen to Mo Mei.
"In the evening, Donglin Town is the closest and largest town to our Yujia Village, but this kind of recent ...... is also very far away for us."
"Your Uncle Yu also went to deliver it 10 years ago, and he said that if the weather is good, it will take more than half a month...... Therefore, Aunt Mo prepared some dry food and two sets of clothes for Wanwan, which she could change into in the evening, and then we would have to meet the immortal master cleanly...... By the way, there is also a water bladder in it, if you finish drinking, go directly to your Uncle Yu and ask him to go to the stream or river to fill it for you..."
"It's the first time I've gone out so far in the evening, if it's uncomfortable on the road, I must find you Uncle Yu, don't be afraid of trouble...... If so..."
Mo Mei paused for a moment, thought about it, and still said, "If you are not selected by the immortal master, don't worry about being sad tonight, just follow your Uncle Yu back safely, there is Aunt Mo here... Aunt Mo told the village chief that no one would bully Wanwan anymore......"
Mo Mei continued to talk for a while, and when she looked up and saw that it was not early, she took the package in her hand and led her to the entrance of the village.
Yu Wan didn't have anything else to bring, so she left home directly with Momei.
------
At the entrance of the village, the sun is gradually rising, the flat loess surface has been as dazzling as gold bricks, and there are more children and adults under the trees.
Mo Mei led Yu Wan out of a small road, looked around, and found a vacant seat to stand.
The sun was still shining on the crowd waiting under the tree, and when she joined in at this time, she suddenly lined everyone like black coal, and her whole person was also illuminated like a god......
"Why is this kid here......
"Heterogeneous ......"
“… Monster... It's useless to go, so the immortal master won't accept a monster like you......"
The chattering and talking voices around her suddenly turned around and began to discuss her in a low voice......
Listening to the confusion of the adults around me and the disgust of the children......
Yu Wan pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders, saying that they were all at the level of a playhouse, and they couldn't do any harm to themselves......
"Hmph, alien, why are you here too."
A boy standing next to them frowned and shouted at Yu Wan, who moved slightly to the other side, as if he was disgusted with Yu Wan who was standing over.
Yu Wan turned his head to look over, and the person who spoke was a boy about 8 years old, wearing a shoulder and shirtless, his shoulder and pants were made of gray-black coarse cloth, and there was a gray-black package on his thin back.
If the boy does not hold his right hand in front of his shoulder at all times, he is likely to ignore the package that is the same color as his clothes......
After recalling for a while, Yu Wan remembered that he was originally a child who lived next door to the original body, and his mother would also help the original body from time to time in the dream...
It's just that this boy... It doesn't seem to like the original body, although he hasn't bullied himself like those people, but he hasn't helped either......
When Mo Mei stood up, she also heard the dissatisfaction in the boy's mouth, and asked him directly, "Tiedan, what about your mother, didn't she come out to see you?" ”
In an instant, Tie Dan's face became a little aggrieved, and he pursed his mouth, but thinking that Yu Wan was beside him, he immediately became arrogant again, and straightened his small body hard, "My mother said that I have grown up and am a man, so I don't need her to send ......"
"Your mother has gone into the mountain again." Although she was asking him, Mo Mei's tone was very affirmative.
"Just now I took the evening out to meet your mother, she is going in the direction of the mountain, before leaving, let me tell you, she doesn't care what you did or didn't do at home in the past, now when you go out, you should still take care of the little friends in the same village...... And she made you always remember that your surname is Yu, and you are from Yujia Village... Engrave this in your heart..."
When Tie Dan heard that his mother was going to enter the mountain again, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and frowned and said to Mo Mei, "Aunt Mei, you persuade my mother and tell her that Tie Dan will definitely become an apprentice of the immortals, and if she finds her father, you ask her not to go to the mountain for the time being......
Tie Dan stood in place with some hesitation, wanting to step back, but as soon as he thought of the promise he made to his mother before leaving, his steps were as if he had taken root on the ground, and he was firmly nailed to the same place......
At this time, a gong sounded on the main road of the village, and a tall carriage slowly drove out of the main road in the village, and a middle-aged man with a beard sat in front of the carriage, controlling two horses side by side and walking forward.
Mo Mei squatted down, told Yu Wan a few times, then reached out and pulled the iron egg on the side, touched his head and said, "It may take a long time for you to come back when you go out this time, Tie Dan, take care of your sister Yu Wan, don't let others bully her......"
Seeing Tie Dan's pouting and disdainful look, she paused and continued, "Your mother is my sister, I will take good care of her and don't let her do stupid things...... But if one day in the future, when you come back from building the foundation, and your mother asks you about your situation outside, do you dare to tell the truth one by one with a clear conscience......"
When Tie Dan heard the next few words, he regained his composure, knowing his mother's temper, and no longer refuted at this time.
Mo Mei saw that she was urging over there, and hurried to the two of them and said, "The two of you must support each other outside, and you must remember that no matter what happens outside, your surname will always be Yu, you are from our Yujia Village, and you are a good girl from your Aunt Mo, you must not forget, you know...... Okay, let's get in the car..."
Yu Wan nodded in agreement with Momei, and then took a step forward and hugged Momei's neck, although she had only been in this world for less than 1 day, coupled with the relationship with Momei in her dream, she could feel Momei's love for her as an elder, this kind of love was something she had never experienced before.
"Aunt Mo rest assured, I will always keep it in my heart for the evening."
After speaking, he kissed Mo Mei on the cheek, and ran straight to the carriage, at this time Tie Dan was already standing in the back compartment, as if waiting for her.
Tie Dan watched the two hugging there, and although he regretted that he forgot to hug his mother, he still walked to the carriage with a proud face...
At this time, seeing Yu Wan coming, he snorted disdainfully, got into the carriage, then turned around and stretched out his right hand, and said to Yu Wan who came over, "Don't come up quickly, little man......"
Yu Wan doesn't care about him, after all, in terms of actual age, she is also the age when she can be his mother...... She directly grabbed Tie Dan's outstretched hand, got into the car, and followed Tie Dan to the side of the carriage near the window.
After getting up early in the morning, Yu Wan hadn't eaten yet, so when she sat down, she opened the package directly, and saw that there were portions of food wrapped in oiled paper, so she took out a packet, put away the package, and directly tore open the package of oiled paper that she took out, and ate it.
The moment the oil paper was torn open, an unknown aroma came out directly and burrowed into her nostrils.
It smells so good! She continued to tear it, and after a while, looking at the golden and bulging fusiform dough in her hand, which was almost the size of her face, she squeezed it hard with her little hand, and the cake was deformed, and when she let go, it returned to its original appearance.
She opened her mouth and took a big bite, clicking, the part of the front teeth touching was crispy, and the part of the lower teeth touching was soft, and she chewed carefully in the evening, observing the bottom of the dough.
As soon as the little hand is turned over, you will see the flat bottom of the fried brown, and you can smell a faint burnt aroma on the tip of your nose, which is not abrupt, but adds a touch of flavor to the whole sweet pastry.
Yu Wan happily nibbled one bite at a time, and the iron egg also smelled it, and his right hand secretly touched his stomach...
Although he himself ate the white flour meat bun made by his mother in the morning, it had been a long time, and it seemed... The stomach is already empty......
When he hesitated whether to bring another big meat bun, the carriage moved, and Yu Wan, who was beside him, held the half-eaten bread in his right hand, turned around flexibly, leaned out of the window and shouted at Mo Mei.
"Goodbye Aunt Mo, wait for the evening to build the foundation and come back......"
Mo Mei looked outside at Yu Wan, who had crumbs of dough on the corner of her mouth and kept waving at her with her left arm, and also raised her right arm and waved it, telling her to pay attention to safety outside, she was waiting for her in her home village.
Carrying a large number of children and a small number of children, the two-horsepower cart left the village in less than a moment and headed off into the distance......
Mo Mei watched until she couldn't see the shadow of the carriage, and touched the cheek that Yu Wan had kissed with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and whispered to herself, "Finally... Out of here...... Hopefully these two kids don't look like ......"
Her voice stopped abruptly, shook her head, and turned back.
Yu Wan waited until he could no longer see the entrance of the village, and got into the carriage, and continued to pick up the bread and nibble......
Uncle Yu's corn tortillas are so fragrant......
Seeing Yu Wan, who started to eat again, Tie Dan felt that his stomach was really empty, but thinking that his mother didn't have much meat for him, he could only continue to hypnotize in his heart, he was not hungry, he was not hungry, he was not a little gluttonous cat like Yu Wan......
Swallowing his saliva, Tie Dan snorted lightly with a proud face, and said, "It's just a jade cake, as for eating it so happily... Different... Yu gluttonous cat......"
Yu Wan heard Tie Dan's disgust, and didn't give him a look, when he didn't know that he was secretly touching his stomach and swallowing saliva......
She continued to nibble happily...... His face was filled with a look of happiness that he had never felt before......
The carriage continued to rush forward, Yu Shanshui and Yu Jinniu rested alternately, and when they arrived on the road two days later, there were more carriages around, and they ran together towards Donglin Town, which was outside the mountains.
------
Another place.
"Uncle Shi, are we going to Donglin Town this year? Last time I heard that I didn't even touch a person with a spiritual root... This time......"
"Since you have taken over the mission of the sect, you have to go... The left and right are not particularly far away, I heard that Donglin Town is the junction of our Mu Ancient Domain and the Three Holy Domains, and the terroir is very different from our inland, so it's not bad to see it......"
------
"Senior brother, I heard that there are a number of good aliens in the building in Donglin Town, and it seems that one of them still has golden eyes... Let's take in the apprentices this year to see how it goes, if it's really good, maybe ......"
"It's okay to go and take a look, remember to change your clothes when the time comes, don't reveal your identity as a sect......"
