Chapter 207: Homecoming
Normally, Fan Wu would not make such a mistake, especially when his physical strength was far from exhausting, he would fall down, which was really undeserved.
The real reason is not entirely that the feeling of crossing the border has affected his spirit, after all, he still has a tendon in his heart, and he still has a small bamboo on his back.
The main reason for his mental misfortune and thus his whereabouts was the mental fatigue of this time, and Fan Wu's spirit had been in a tense state since he entered the jungle world.
Although he walked on the side where there were no creatures, and he only met Xiaozhu alone in the middle, and the corpse tide he encountered did not need to fight, but it was precisely because there was no situation on this side that his spirit did not get any chance to relax.
Because he has always sensed the existence of a danger, he always maintains a vigilant mentality, but he does not see any enemies in the whole process, which makes him dare not relax the whole time, and always feels that the enemy will suddenly jump out in the next moment.
It's funny to say that the time when his mind is most relaxed is the time when Xiaozhu and the corpse tide appear, because the enemy is in front of him, and his body is ready, but his spirit can be relaxed a little.
This relaxation time is very short, and it will end after the corpse tide has passed, and then the period of travel with Xiaozhu is a new round of worry.
Until he broke into the swamp, Xiaozhu suddenly began to fall asleep, and the psychological pressure of guarding against it at this moment was already very large, so Fan Wu's mood during this period was a little out of control.
When I came to the cross-border section of the cross-border section, I was affected by the cross-border feeling and my spirit was the last straw, and after a day of hard work, I finally reached the limit of Fan Wu.
However, in fact, he still wanted to continue to hold on to the time of getting out of trouble with one breath, but when he felt a trace of familiar breath in his bones, he broke the heartstring as soon as he relaxed a little, and the result was that he got out of his hand, and the two fell at high speed.
The advantage is that the speed is not comparable to Fan Wu's own climbing, there is no comparison at all, but although the speed is already super fast, the two of them also fell for more than two hours to the end, if they are allowed to climb by themselves, it is estimated that it will take a few more days to climb.
In fact, it was not the end, but it just fell into the water, and the lower part of the original cave was water, because the impact of the two people falling was too great, so they sank to the bottom of the water for several miles before they stopped the momentum and hovered in the water.
Not long after entering the water, Fan Wu was stimulated by the icy water to wake up, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he found that he had fallen into the water, but he did not react at all for a while, and did not regain consciousness until he sank some distance and hovered in the water.
Hurriedly grabbed a handful with his back, fortunately Xiaozhu was still there, but he still hadn't woken up, as long as his body was there, he was afraid that he would lose this younger brother after he fainted.
Since Xiaozhu was still there, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with him, Fan Wu began to float up with apprehension, wanting to return to the surface as soon as possible to confirm whether the familiar feeling he had before he fainted was correct.
Although I felt that this thing was a bit too, deep down I hoped that it was true and that I could really go back to that place.
Fan Wu remembered that when he was holding on and didn't want to faint, he suddenly sensed an extremely familiar feeling from the depths of the cave, which made him lose his mind instantly, so he lost his spirit and fainted.
Now when I wake up, I find that this familiar feeling is even stronger, not only the feeling, but also a familiar taste, the taste of yellow spring water, to be precise, the taste of diluted yellow spring water.
The environment here is also very familiar, the original cave is just enough for the size of two people, but after entering the water, it is a waterhole that cannot be seen, like the terrain of Longtan on Dingshan in the past.
Could it be that after the cave descended to a certain depth, it was connected to other places like the upper half? The conjecture was very simple, as long as it went up to the surface of the water, it would be clear, and Fan Wu was the first to do so.
Fan Wu's strength today is already a world apart from back then, and the distance of dozens of miles in the water is a matter of a few minutes for him, even if he carries a small bamboo on his back, it will not be much slower.
Soon Fan Wu could see the light at the mouth of the waterhole above, and when he came here, he was already very sure that it was definitely not the place where the cave was, because there was no light in the cave.
Even if the guess is wrong, this is not the Dragon Pond in their hometown, it should be a waterhole in other places, anyway, the two of them have definitely left the scope of the cave.
When it came to the surface, Fan Wu's heart beat a few times, although he has experienced many things in the past few decades, and he has died twice, but homesickness is an emotion that everyone will have, and Fan Wu will certainly not be an exception.
And he is not quite the same as those homecoming wanderers, because he came back unexpectedly this time, and if there is no adventure in the cave, I really don't know when he will be able to return to his hometown.
The external environment and his feelings had made Fan Wu 99% sure that this was where Longtan was, but the more this was the case, the more apprehensive he became, and if it wasn't, it would be a big disappointment, so he stopped half a meter from the water.
Looking up at the faint light and mist above, his big heart and small heart brewed for a while before he closed his eyes and suddenly exerted his strength, and rushed out of the water in one go.
It was only after rushing out of a height of hundreds of meters that he opened a gap and looked at it for a while, and then immediately closed it again, and then suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the familiar mountain under his feet, the familiar suburban environment in the distance, and the urban buildings more than ten miles away.
Although it is a little far away, with Fan Wu's current eyesight, he can barely see the outer outline of the city, although it seems to have changed, and the scope of the city has expanded a lot, but it is still a familiar end city, his hometown!
Even though Fan Wu's personality is a little introverted, he is still quite emotional when he returns to his hometown unexpectedly, and now he is a little unsure of what to do first.
After being excited for a while, he remembered that he was still flying in the air with a person on his back, and hurriedly landed first, he didn't want to be seen by tourists as a trapeze artist or be discovered by the rangers and cause unnecessary trouble.
Standing on the edge of Longtan again, Fan Wu's thoughts immediately flew back to the scene of the battle against the ghost dragon here, thinking that more than 60 years have passed, and he can still come back to stand here one day, and his heart is full of emotion.
The ghost dragon doesn't know if it's good in the black prison now, when he was a master of guarding the ghost gate, he was actually accepted by a fledgling ghost of his own, it feels ridiculous to think about it, and a little aggrieved for the ghost dragon, hehe, I must release it if I have the chance, and apologize to him.
Fan Wu stretched out his hand and took a handful of the water mist above the water surface of Longtan, the yin qi water mist that was regarded as nectar back then has no effect on him now, even if it is inhaled into his body as free energy, not much can be converted into thunder and lightning energy.
But Fan Wu's current mood is not to regard it as energy, but as a kind of hometown feelings, I feel very kind, I can't help but take a deep breath, as the yin fog enters the body, the mood suddenly becomes quiet and happy, or home.
After standing on the edge of Longtan for more than ten minutes before reluctantly starting to descend the mountain, after leaving for so long to be able to come back, of course Fan Wu will not fly back directly from the sky, but walk down the mountain road step by step, slowly feeling the taste from his hometown.
It is now just dawn in the morning, the scenic spot has not yet opened, but it is still possible to meet the morning tourists, so he set off with a relatively fast pace to carry Xiaozhu down the mountain, want to leave the scenic spot as soon as possible, find a hotel nearby to settle Xiaozhu first, and then hurry up to go back to the city to walk.
After so many years, Fan Wu believes that the original community and houses have long ceased to exist, and the world should have developed very advanced, and he will only go back to reminisce, even if he really wants to settle in Duancheng temporarily, it is estimated that he will have to find a new place.
When going down the mountain along the way, Fan Wu found a strange phenomenon, why the facilities and buildings here don't seem to have changed much? And it's too dilapidated, isn't it that human beings now don't need to visit the scenic spot, so this place has long been abandoned?
The facilities on the mountain are better, at least they remain the same, only a little broken, but when they went down to the foot of the mountain, Fan Wu found that the facilities here could no longer be seen in their original appearance, especially those metal products, many of which had rusted into a pile of iron slag, and turned into iron powder and fell to the ground at a slight touch.
Only the reinforced concrete buildings are barely in shape, but they are also dilapidated, on the verge of collapse, and it seems that the place has really been abandoned for many years.
Fan Wu walked all the way out of the scenic area with nostalgia and pity and a strange feeling, and finally saw a well-preserved building when he came to the gate of the scenic spot.
Because the gate of the scenic spot is completely made of large stones stacked and carved, it is the best preserved, although it is also somewhat weathered, but it retains 80% integrity, and even the word 'Dingshan' on it is still clearly visible.
But the ticket office where he first met the night star had collapsed, and there was only a pile of decay on the ground, Fan Wu stood on the side for a while, recalled some things about this red face, and then turned around and left the Dingshan Scenic Area with a smile.
Since the scenic spot has been abandoned for many years, those places such as hotels and restaurants that rely on the scenic spot to survive naturally do not need to exist, and may have long become residential areas or other types of entertainment venues.
But when Fan Wu came out, he saw that all the buildings along the road were collapsed for several miles, and he felt very strange, as if this area had been completely abandoned by people.
It stands to reason that this is impossible to happen, and no city manager will be stupid enough to give up such a good piece of feng shui treasure, even if it can't be made into a scenic area, it can be turned into other uses, there are still so many buildings here, even if it becomes an industrial area, it is okay.
Unless......
Is there no manager in the current end city?
Still is......
There is no one left in Endingtown, and the whole city is deserted?
