Text: It's black, it's so black.
After the strange change of face in the sky, Kumon returned to its former tranquility, and the birds, which had been trembling before, began to try to sing some soft songs after a few soft chirps, and then the trees calmed down.
A clump of grass was gently parted from the middle, and a pair of eyes were exposed, but after a long time, a creature covered in black stood up, and judging by the bow and arrow in his hand, he must have some kind of intelligent life if not a human.
"Night Elf?" the guy standing beside Fang Dabu whispered softly in his mind, he was obviously frightened by such a corpse that was both incineration and art, and he also had reason to be nervous about the death of a clansman, even though this incident could have been caused by an accident. So Verus stretched out his black hand and gently touched the other person's ear next to the smoky head, and then, Verus's face showed a relaxed smile. But before he could turn away, a faint noise sounded behind him. "China-Africa friendship is everlasting. ”
Verus obviously didn't listen to the meaning of those words, but he believed that life should not be given up, so he straddled the bow and arrow on his chest, but at the moment when he was about to carry him, Verus suddenly found that the guy in front of him was actually like a rotten wood, so he adjusted the position of carrying the bow and arrows from the new, and then used his armpit to pick up this guy who was no longer a human.
Fang Dabu's life in the last two days has been a bit bad, because he is preparing for sleep in addition to sleeping, and of course, several of these unconscious hibernations can also be identified as coma to some extent. But is this any difference to Fang Dabu? No, because the real dream and the dream-like reality have already mixed Fang Dabu's memories and enveloped his body. Just like the fire that appeared in front of his eyes now, it was not only violent, but also transmitted temperature to his body. And what made Fang Dabu unbelievable the most was that he actually tasted the smell of barbecue, and the taste of the bar was mixed with a strong burnt aroma, which made Fang Dabu's mind not only appear three big words "mutton skewers"?
Fang Dabu, who sat up suddenly, looked at everything in front of him in horror, about the bonfire that had risen, and the barbecue on the bonfire. Fang Dabu believed that he must have met a kind person, but who could he be there? However, just as he was thinking, suddenly, several branches slowly floated up from the ground, and suddenly broke in the middle of the air, paused, and finally flew into the bonfire. Bang bang, Fang Dabu whipped himself like crazy, and his eyes were also full of red bloodshots.
"It's stupid, cough, it's a pity. A sigh came from the thick voice, and the voice came from the darkness.
"Who? Who are you?" Fang Dabu shouted sharply, while his two thin hands nervously wanted to grab something on the ground. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it must be a dream
, must be a dream. Fang Dabu muttered, and then the whole person lay on the ground again, and closed his eyes.
"If you can still understand what I'm saying, then I want to be able to hear your prayers, to the gods, and to the miracles that have appeared to you. ”
Fang Bao, who was lying on the ground, blinked his eyes, and then slowly propped up his body with his hands, and he asked quietly and extremely cautiously. "Big brother, big brother, let's come out to chat, don't you keep being like this, okay?"
"Is there something wrong with your eyes? You know, I've been sitting across from you. ”
Fang Dabu followed the sound and saw a pair of floating eyeballs on the other side of the bonfire. "There's a ghost. ”
Sitting on the ground, Verus seemed to remember something, and then with a smile on his face that only he knew, he slowly stood up and then stepped over the bonfire, and slowly squatted down, looking face to face at Fang Dabu who wanted to escape. "I'm really sorry, I used to live alone, so a lot of the time, I got used to the way of life alone. Hello, my name is Verus and I'm a Night Elf. ”
"I'll go, big brother, it turns out that you brought your own background cloth, no wonder. Hello, my name is Fang Dabu, from, hey, buddy, you slipped to the Chinese language, are you also from the earth? You are from the land of Africa?"
"Earth?Africa?are you the one who descended from the sky?" a distinct smile hung on the corner of Verus's mouth, which made Fang Dabu see a row of white teeth, and also reminded him of Dyce's admonition, that is, to protect yourself. "Looks like you've just arrived in Valoran. ”
"No, no, big brother, it's not what you say, what kind of heavenly person am I, it's our village, our village is called the earth, and there is a place at the head of our village called Africa, no, big brother, I'm a Valoran. ”
"It's the first time I've met a newborn Skyfaller, and it's really interesting. ”
"Big brother, what do you call it? Yes, yes, Verus, Verus. So Vigo, you heard that I ,,,, thing is like this, I am an ordinary people's teacher in our village, I will go to work every day, of course, I will also get off work every day, there will be two days off, there will be winter and summer vacations, I teach students, but I am not subject to red envelopes, and I have not given children supplementary lessons, I will teach children to study in a down-to-earth manner, study every day, and go up well. So Vigo, I haven't done anything lacking in virtue, you let me go. As he spoke, Fang Dabu hugged Verus's feet, and tears of emotion flowed from his eyes. "Vigo, I'm not a Heavenly One, you can't be so miserable. ”
"What's your name. Verus asked, putting his hand on Fang Dabu's head.
"Fang Dabu, really brother. ”
"What are your parents' names?"
"Fang Xiao, Liu Guiqin. ”
"Do all the people in your village have the surname Fang?"
"No, no, not all of them are surnamed Fang, the one who lives next door to my house is surnamed Wang. ”
"Fang Dabu, do you know? In Valoran, this kind of surname of yours is very strange, with a single word and a surname first, so ,,, don't hide anything from me anymore, let's have a good talk. ”
"Vigo, you say, what do you want to talk about? Then let's talk about it, but can you let me eat something first, I'm hungry. ”
"Of course you can, that's how it should be, but if you want to eat, you may have to wait for a while, so why don't we take advantage of this time and talk about it first?"
"Vigo, don't wait, trust me. As he spoke, Fang Dabu picked up a few branches from the ground, then he looked at Verus and asked timidly. "Vigo, do you have a knife, can you borrow it?"
Fang Dabu had to admit that the knife that Verus lent him was really sharp, which made him feel as easy as cutting water when he cut meat, and in the process of Fang Dabu's roasting, Verus also handed over a transparent stone. "Salt?" Fang Dabu said and laughed, and couldn't help but stretch out his thumb, but then, Fang Dabu regretted it, because Verus stretched out his fist to him.
"Big brother, big brother. Fang Dabu screamed, shouted, and rolled on the ground, like roast meat on the bonfire.
"Don't shout, I know you didn't mean to, but if you give someone a thumbs up, they're going to kill you. So, you can take this beating as kind advice. ”
"I, you're ruthless, but I want to ask, can I stretch out that finger and not get beaten. ”
"Middle finger. ”
Verus wasn't a loner, especially when it came to food, which even became a preference in his life. However, the small, inconspicuous meat skewers in front of him made his eyes light up and his appetite was great.
"What's going on, Vigo, brother's craft?"
"Good, good, hey, don't stop, keep baking, keep going. ”
"Big brother, do you want me to eat two bites, how many skewers have you made this time, you don't have a point in your heart. ”
After swallowing a piece of meat, Verus tightened his throat, and then handed Fang Dabu a leftover twig. "For those of us who have only one mouth, eating means giving up expression, and speaking means stopping talking. So, for you now, what you should do more is to tell me everything I want to know. And then you have the right to let your mouth go on another job, you see?"
"Then I won't bake it, and I won't be able to eat it, so don't you play with me. ”
"It just so happens that I'm full, and I have a lot of things to ask you. ”
"Big brother, Brother Vig, don't worry, this hand will be good immediately, you eat first, you eat first. As he spoke, Fang Dabu continued his previous work. Only this time, instead of handing the cooked meat skewer to Verus, he took a bite of it himself, but then shook his head. "This Gada, there are a lot of tendons, they haven't been roasted thoroughly, you wait a little longer, Vigo, I'll try this skewer again, there are a lot of tendons, this is the meat, why is it so hard to bake." Then Fang Dabu frowned as he checked the roast on the bonfire, and finally, gradually, gradually, in Verus's smile, Fang Dabu suddenly burped and asked with difficulty. "Vigo, is there any water? The tendons of this piece of meat are so big that it chokes me. ”
"Where are you from?" Varus shook the kettle in front of Fang Dabu's eyes.
"Earth. ”
"So you're a Heavenly Descender?" the kettle shook in front of Fang Dabu's eyes again.
"It's not. ”
"Does that mean you're a Valoran?" the lid of the kettle was opened.
"Hmm. ”
Verus didn't ask anything more this time, but he began to pour out the water from the kettle slowly, and after passing through Fang Dabu's line of sight, it mixed into the dirt.
"Vigo, I am the One from the Sky. The wailing Fang Dabu snatched the kettle from Verus's hand, and then drank it with a bang. "Vigo, I'm sorry, I lied to you, I'm not the one you said you were. ”
Verus seemed to have expected such an answer, so he smiled and walked slowly, carrying a long rope in his hand.
"What do you mean, Vigo, you have to play with bondage? No, it's not suitable to do strenuous activities when you're full. ”
Just as Fang Dabu thought, he was tied up by Verus, and then, the whole person was poured down on a branch, but it seemed that Verus wanted to hear something, so Fang Dabu's mouth was not blocked by something.
"Say, what's your name? ”
"Fang Dabu. ”
"There are people. ”
"Earthlings. ”
"Is it the Heavensman?"
"It's not. ”
Verus didn't seem to be satisfied with this answer, so a fist made of a black hand hit Fang Dabu's lower abdomen. And Fang Dabu obviously didn't waste the power of this punch, and then he saw the meat skewer he had just eaten.
"Vigo,,You,Listen,,I said,I'm really not the one you said,,, what kind of heavenly descender, I'm really,,It's an ordinary people's teacher.,Really,And I'm teaching the main course of mathematics.,Big brother.,Or I'll give you a paragraph,,Ninety-nine multiplication formula." ”
"What did you say?" Curious, Varus stopped beating him further, but his fists didn't let go.
"I am a people's teacher. ”
The latter sentence. ”
"Ahh ”
"And then back. ”
"Oh, the ninety-nine multiplication formula? yes, Vigo, do you want to listen?"
"I'll hear it. ”
"One gets one, one two gets two, one three gets three,,,,,"
"You're obviously wasting our time. Verus obviously felt insulted, so this punch directly emptied Fang Dabu's stomach, and of course, a lot of transparent mucus flowed out afterwards.
"Fang Dabu, maybe you don't know that in Valoran, it is extremely difficult for any life to survive, no matter who it is, no matter what your identity is, there will always be forces around you that hinder you, forever. Even if you have the glory of my father, everything will not change because of it, on the contrary, many simple things will become complicated, so for anyone, life is harsh. But do you know why we still have to persist in the face of such a life? You know, um? Yes, it is for hope, for that small and unfulfilled hope, everyone will endure and suffer in this kind of life, and move forward by the only light, we can stop during the period, but we can never really stop. Gosh, that sounds like a pretty tough thing. But in this matter, there is a fundamental difference between the two of us, a very important difference, no, no, no, no, no, I don't mean the difference that you think, but that I can pass on this hope to my children, whether it can be boys or girls, as we move forward or before the end of our lives, it doesn't matter, but the important thing is that they can move on in my place, and then one day in the future, touch something unattainable. But you can't, remember that knife just now? Yes, it's called the Dark Star, it's an artifact of the Night Elves, and whatever it is, it's more used for cutting. And in Valoran, it can cut everything, everything, you know what it means? Yes, it can cut together. But unfortunately, it has never cut other people's balls, that pair of things that can make people lose their right to chase hope, so are you ready, because I'm going to borrow you to fill its regrets, and at the same time, this will be the big difference between us. ”
Every pore of Fang Dabu trembled, and it was the first time he felt afraid, from his own heart, from his soul, for the first time, he tasted the taste of fear, and he also felt a trace of cold feeling under his crotch. "Big brother, big brother, you know everything. ”
"Very good, you are the most courageous person I have ever met, so ,,,,"
"No, big brother, I don't have the courage, you must have misunderstood, I mean, I said, big brother, you take the knife down first, okay, please, I can feel it now, it's starting to get smaller." ”
"It seems that we can finally start a meaningful conversation. ”
"Brother Vig, what did you say, didn't we talk about it before, it's just you, if you turn your face, you will turn your face, don't don't, Brother Vigo, I think you are looking at the horse, what are you talking about?"
"Who are you and where are you from,,,,,,"
Fang Dabu replied truthfully, everything about himself, about the so-called Heavenly Descender, and even his own nickname in elementary school, Fang Dabu reported it to Verus's ears without omission. Of course, he still concealed two things during the whole process. First, it is about the time when one's own abilities are awakened. Second, it's about artifacts.
"Vigo, you know that the ability of the Heavenly Descender cannot be awakened until a month later, and the artifact can only be used by the Heavenly Descender after the ability is awakened. ”
Verus had obviously heard a lot of interesting things, about Fang Dabu and the main god Dais, especially the lightning, and Verus had reason to believe that it was the rumored divine punishment. However, Verus wondered what made Fang Dabu survive.
"Actually, I have no intention of hurting you, but I need to hear sincere words, just like now, you are still sitting in front of me. ”
"Thanks, Vigo, blame me, blame me for being careful. Fang Dabu couldn't stop smiling, and his black head couldn't stop nodding.
"It's getting late, and I think we should rest too. As he spoke, Varus picked up Fang Dabu as before, and then the whole person ran up against the trunk of the tree behind him, upward, and hurried towards the place where the dense leaves were stacked. "It's called the World Tree, and it's Anivia's original residence, but she doesn't live here anymore. ”
"Who is Anivia, and why do you still live in this tree?"
Maybe it was too quiet during that time, so Varus didn't get bored with Fang Dabu's curiosity. "She's from another world, just like you, but she's a frost phoenix, and she's mighty. It seems that because of this, she suddenly disappeared twenty years ago, and of course, more people thought she was dead, because on that day, the birds of the entire Valoran continent made a mournful cry, and the time lasted for a whole day. ”
"I'm going, I didn't meet, it's not safe to be a heavenly descender. ”
"As I said, every life here is alive and believing. ”
"I thought you were joking. ”
"Do you think I'm joking?"
"Vigo, can you be like me? ”
There seems to be a hint of irony in your words. ”
"Vigo, let's sleep in this tree hole tonight?"
Fang Dabu hadn't seen the appearance of this World Tree clearly from beginning to end, but with the branches that could run, Fang Dabu guessed that this giant tree was as big and terrifying. Of course, this tree hole hidden behind a branch also corroborated Fang Dabu's conjecture in disguise.
"There's always a lot of water in the pit in front of you, and you can go there and clean yourself. ”
"Vigo, if you take a bath with a hungry stomach, you will faint. ”
"You're such a troublesome fellow, well, here are dry cakes made of the sampa tree, take a bite and drink plenty of water, and soon you won't feel hungry anymore. ”
"I'll go, you still have compressed biscuits?" Fang Dabu saw Verus's frowning brows, he knew that he obviously said something that Verus didn't understand again, and such a mouthful was either in exchange for an inquiry that followed closely or an answer from an old fist, so Fang Dabu immediately ran towards Verus's guidance, and didn't run far before he really saw the puddle that Verus said.
This puddle was obviously not much bigger than a basin, but the clear water surface reflected the deep starlight in the sky, which made Fang Dabu's mood suddenly improve. The taste of the cake was indeed very similar to a compressed biscuit, except for a little salt, there was no taste at all, after Fang Dabu ate a bite of the dry cake, he drank a few more sips of water, and then the whole person sat there and thought in silence. Suddenly, there were two bright lights on the water, faint blue and flickering, which made Fang Dabu not only look up, but also really see those two bright lights. "Tanuki, hehe, or something else. Fang Dabu thought so in his heart, and the whole person relaxed, and then washed himself with the water. But at this moment, an inquiry suddenly came from behind Fang Dabu, but strangely, there was an extremely immature voice in that voice.
"Hey, new kid, what's your name. ”
