25. The things of the past
Seeing Huang Junming sleeping quietly, Guo Dongdong chuckled a few times:
"You probably don't even know"
"It's okay, this spring water has healing powers, you have too many poisonous needles, so you need to soak for a longer time, and you will get better tomorrow morning."
"Before I come back, I hope the seniors will protect themselves and stop doing such impulsive and reckless things like me"
"Okay, that's it, it's time for me to go, good night, senior."
Then there was the sound of "knock knock" walking away.
After several struggles, Huang Junming finally opened his eyes.
But I only saw the back of Guo Dongdong leaving.
Guo Dongdong walked to the straight ladder and pressed the button on the 3rd floor.
Walking into the room, I saw the lord sitting on a soft chair, leisurely drinking syrup, and when he saw her walk in, he asked without raising his head:
"It's decided?"
"Yes"
"Then you'll ...... tomorrow morning"
"No, I'll go now"
"Don't wait for that stubborn boy to wake up and say goodbye to him"
"No, I'm afraid that if he wakes up and sees me, I'm reluctant to leave"
The lord didn't speak, raised his eyes to look at her, and wanted to see the retreat from her face, but Guo Dongdong at this time was extremely firm:
"I don't want to, never want to, implicate others because of my fault, and I don't want to hurt people because of my incompetence. I asked myself if I was not a strong person, I always wanted to lean on others and expect them to protect me, but in the past few days here, I have understood. People can only rely on themselves, and I can only rely on myself. ”
"I don't want to be a waste who is beaten but can't fight back, I have special abilities, I'm not useless, I want to rely on my own strength and become a person who can protect myself"
After speaking, he looked at the lord with sincere eyes.
"Okay, good determination, then you go"
The lord pressed a button on the table, and a silver door opened in his right hand.
"It's a little rude, but I still have to ask, do you want to leave any last words?"
"No, I'll be back!"
Guo Dongdong pushed the door in, and after a few seconds, he disappeared behind the door.
*
Ling Ye had a long dream, in which he seemed to be back in his dormitory, and the moment he lay on the bed, he felt a sense of security that he had not felt for a long time, he hugged the pillow tightly, and listened to the noisy sounds around him and did not want to wake up.
It wasn't until he was pricked with a few stitches in his hand that he couldn't bear the pain anymore and slowly opened his eyes.
Sitting next to her was a beautiful woman in a cheongsam, holding an old book in one hand and a few silver needles in the other, concentrating on where to go next.
"I ......" As soon as Ling Ye opened his mouth, he was pricked again, he covered his legs with a "snort" and looked at the woman resentfully.
"Hey, you're awake, I'm sorry, I didn't look at it"
The woman hurriedly put down the needle and asked with concern:
"What do you think? Does it hurt anywhere? ”
"No ......"
Only then did he realize that he was in a strange place, surrounded by a dark stone wall, topped by withered yellow thatch, and the wooden bed underneath was shaky, as if it was about to collapse in the next moment.
"Where is this? What's wrong with me? ”
"Ah, it's good that you woke up, but it's also strange, obviously healed the injury, and it took two days to wake up"
Ling Ye didn't dare to admit that he dreamed of the happy times in the dormitory, drinking beer, eating barbecue, and watching the never-ending ball game on the screen of his phone.
Seeing that the woman didn't ask deeply, he breathed a sigh of relief, he introduced himself, and wanted to ask something, only to see a bowl of purple porridge brought and stuffed it into Ling Ye's hand.
"You eat first"
The woman's enthusiastic attitude, he was not easy to refuse, scooped a spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth, sweet, it tasted good, only to listen to the woman began to tell the story by herself:
"That was 70 years ago"
70 years ago!
I was so scared that the porridge that Ling Ye had just eaten in my mouth spit back into the bowl, do you want to start talking about it for so long?
The woman "tsk" twice in disgust, and reluctantly handed over a handkerchief:
"70 years ago, my lover and I came to the desert research institute, originally lived a very happy life, and occasionally held a ball, but I don't know who, I found a black hole in the place where birds don't, and now I know that this thing is called a "wormhole", which can connect two worlds, but where did people know these at that time, there were good people who went there, and that was the first time I knew about this other world."
"And then?" Midnight asked while eating.
"Then they came back, and they brought back something they hadn't seen before, fur, bones...... They all looked different from the earth, and at first we thought they were fresh, until they brought back a living thing, a rat covered with thorns."
"The biological group took it to study for a few days, and then came to an astonishing conclusion: the piece on the belly of the rat can heal all external injuries, no matter how many injuries it is, as long as it is boiled with the skin of the rat, it will be very good immediately, and it will spread throughout the entire research institute and nearby villages for a while, and everyone is eager to go in and catch mice.
"Is this rat so easy to catch?" Ling Ye asked in surprise.
"We have shotguns, gunners are a dozen is one, and there are also sticks to pass, but there are many failures, being stabbed by thorns to numb for three or two days, can not move, but people's hearts are always greedy, it didn't take long for the rats in the black hole to be almost wiped out, the hunters also made a lot of money, bought houses and land, I thought they would stop, who knew that they were eyeing the big black bear again, and wanted to take bear bile and sell it for money"
"This ....... just too much"
Ling Ye was a little indignant, although he was a monster, he didn't take the initiative to hurt anyone, these people broke into other people's world with guns, and what was the difference between them and the "invaders".
"Hey......" The woman sighed deeply, with a sad expression on her face, "How can everything go well, it won't be long before retribution comes"
"Those who have been to another world, men and women, young and old, have turned black on their skin, at first they only thought that the sun was scorching and tanned, but after a few days, long white hairs grew on their tanned bodies"
"This ...... How so? Ling Ye was surprised.
The woman continued:
"Even if it is scraped off, it will grow new ones, and the water source in the desert is precious, and there is not enough food and drink, where can it be used to bathe every day, so soon after that, lice grow on their bodies, and they can't sleep well for several days and nights, and the plague also appears."
"Some people with bad mouths secretly call them "chimpanzees" underneath, saying that everything is because of their indiscriminate killing, which causes everyone to suffer, some can't think of committing suicide, and some hide in the "black hole" and never come out again, and after a few months, no one mentions that place anymore, and no one goes there again."
"They're not coming back?"
"I don't know, after that, the war broke out, and my wife and I went back to our hometown to join the army"
