Chapter 137: The Past
"Smack!" the hooded man hurriedly returned to his normal flow of time.
It was not only the old man next to the hooded man who was frightened, but he was just finished on the other sofa at this time, and he was looking at the ceiling with his eyes in confusion. The frightened look on his face had not yet faded, and the panicked screams of the villagers could be heard outside the house.
The old man couldn't help but tremble again, and after hesitating again and again, the cat moved to the door step by step and opened a crack in the door.
"Bang!"
A black-robed man knocked the old man away and staggered into the house, without taking two steps, his face changed and he fell to his knees, his mouth wide open and spurting out countless bloodshot vomit. The old man who was huddled in the shadows behind the door frowned and pinched his nose, but did not say a word.
"Oh!"
The old man next to the hooded man looked disgusted with a pout. But before he could open his mouth to complain, suddenly, a thick vine burst in from outside the door, and before they could react, it had quickly rolled up the black-robed man.
"No!
The black-robed man struggled desperately, grabbing the table in front of him that was full of gold gallons. However, the drag force was so great that as soon as he grabbed the table legs with both hands, he had already pulled people outside with the table. Jingle bells, jingle bells, and Jin Garon spilled all over the ground. However, at this moment, the two old men could no longer take care of the money, and at this time, they both opened their mouths widely, turned their heads to face the door, and their eyes were instantly dull.
On the plain outside the village, countless giant vines, like the tentacles of an octopus, waved wildly. There was a scream, from a black-robed man who was caught at the end of the vine. They were thrown around, either they had a mental breakdown, crying for their father and mother, or they had a physical breakdown and kept vomiting. In this situation, the sluggish people are not only the old man, but the villagers who are watching from afar are also stunned there, looking at the wonders in the distance, and the atmosphere is not daring to come out.
"This thing is so much more exciting than a roller coaster!"
Turning his head stiffly, and seeing the hooded man looking like he couldn't help but laugh, the old man was puzzled: "What is a roller coaster? No, no, no, what is it?"
"A little trick. ”
The old man continued with a question mark face.
"Bang!"
The door was slammed shut, and the old man, who was still trembling and hiding in the corner just now, was in a hurry to pick up the gold gallons scattered on the ground, as if he was afraid of being robbed by others. Simply packing some luggage, carrying a box full of gold gallons, he hurriedly pushed open the back door, rode a broomstick, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Hey, it's boring, I don't look at the future. Touching his nose, the old man's mind was full of the look of a thief just now, "Look at the past." ”
As soon as the words came out, he seemed to remember something, and couldn't help laughing: "Yes, just look at it." ”
"Whatever you want. ”
It's a good time to try out your current research results. Thinking so, the hooded man stretched out his hand, and the scene in front of him was like a canvas, quickly rolling up.
There was a subtle sense of weightlessness, and the scene returned to the present, the old man had just gained a foothold, and everything around him began to change rapidly.
The room seemed to be equipped with flashing lights, flickering on and off. The old people wandering around the house were in different positions and doing different things almost at the same time.
"It seems that when you were young, you were quite self-disciplined. The hooded man pointed to the gradually connecting figures, and quipped, "The further you go, the more monotonous and repetitive your course of action becomes." ”
However, the old man had no intention of responding to the hooded man's words, and stared at his younger and younger self until a certain moment, when his eyes suddenly widened.
"Stop!"
This time the hooded man did not give a symbolic high-five, and directly let the normal flow of time resume. He was also a little curious, what was it that made the old man so nervous that made him care so much.
When the old man was young, he was a blonde guy with a short stubble on his chin. The hooded man, whose hair was oily and a little messy, noticed this, turned to look at the sloppy old man next to him, who was covered in a foul smell.
It's always better than it is now.
The hooded man quietly shifted his footsteps, slightly distancing himself from the old man.
At this time, the blonde guy glanced at the golden sunset outside the skylight, and unconsciously showed a simple smile. Letting go of the half-finished delicate pocket watch in his hand, he cleaned up the workbench in three or two times, and rummaged through the cabinets to find things.
"Tablecloths, candles, flowers, wine, cups, saucers, knives and forks...... Are you going to have a candlelight dinner?" said the hooded man with a funny expression.
"Hey, hey!" the old man scratched his head, "Young, I just like to play romance." ”
Time passed minute by minute, and the young man had been tinkering in the kitchen for a while, when suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Darling, are you home?"
"Here we go!" the guy hurriedly responded.
Suddenly, there was a jingling sound in the kitchen, and the gray-haired young man stumbled out, picked up the apron on his waist and wiped his face briefly, took three steps and made two steps, and came to the door.
"Squeak. ”
As soon as the door opened, she was greeted by a fair woman with fiery red hair, and the moment her watery eyes saw the young man, she was full of fiery tenderness.
"Yes, no!"
As soon as the guy opened his mouth to apologize, he was gagged by a pair of plump red lips.
Looking at the two people who hugged each other tightly after a while, the hooded man raised his eyebrows: "Unexpectedly, when you were young, you were still a winner in life!"
"Hey, it's a pity, a good deck of cards is being played to pieces. The old man smiled heartily rarely, but he couldn't hide the scarcity in his eyes.
After a long time, the two who kissed for a long time gasped and let go of each other. Looking at each other affectionately, they were still in each other's arms, and at this moment, the beauty burst out laughing.
"What, what's wrong?" the guy asked, a little confused.
"It doesn't have to be so laborious. ”
The beauty stretched out her fingers, gently wiped the black ash on the tip of the young man's nose, and held it up in front of his eyes with a smile. Seeing this, the young man's face suddenly turned red, even if he was covered with a layer of black ash, he couldn't cover it.
"It's just that I want to be careful, and if I use magic, it always feels too perfunctory, so I want to cook it myself and do it myself. He said hesitantly, and finally mustered up the courage to look into his lover's eyes, "Yes, I'm sorry for making a mess, or go out to eat?"
Finally straightened up and rubbed her aching stomach, but she still couldn't hide the smile on her face, and pursed her mouth as much as she could, she was afraid that she would laugh out loud.
"Uh-huh!" coughed twice, and as she collected her emotions, she pulled out her wand with one hand, and aimed it at her lover's face in a stunned face, "Clean up!"
As if a breeze was blowing, the dust on his face quickly drifted away, and only then did he react, smirking and scratching his head. Retracting her wand, she smiled, took her lover's hand, and walked towards the house.
"No, I'll cook. ”
"Forehead ......"
He was stunned for a moment, subconsciously followed her, and the figures of the two disappeared behind the kitchen door.
Glancing at the old man with an intoxicated face next to him, the hooded man couldn't help but smile wryly: "You brought me here to eat dog food?"
"Huh?" the old man shook his head in confusion as he slowly came back to his senses, "I've never had a dog in my family. ”
Well, you shouldn't talk too much, now you should wrap yourself in, you should.
The hooded man stopped talking, and the sweet words coming from the kitchen made the air tired, and he fled outside the house in a hurry.
As the saying goes, happy times are always short-lived, but at least to the hooded man, it wasn't until the moon turned at a noticeable angle that there was unusual movement in the room behind him. It was the noise of men and women, how could the two of them, who were like glue just now, oppose each other in a blink of an eye?
The hooded man was just puzzled, and the voice of the old man in the room came out: "Quick, let me show up!
"Bang!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the door was slammed open, and she walked away with tears in her eyes, and he, when he reached the door, hesitated visibly, then retracted his halfway steps, and returned to the house in silence.
"Why don't you let me show up?" the old man asked, running up to the hooded man.
"It can't be done. ”
"Can't do it?"
Facing the angry old man, the hooded man said calmly: "Have you forgotten? I have only studied for a day, no, not a day." Let's go back to the state of the past tense by ourselves, yes, let's go back to the past of the world, too. But this is only temporary, and I can't get us out of the time tunnel and into reality. ”
"What do you mean?" the old man relented, and he was no longer as agitated as he had been before.
"Although it seems that time has returned to normal now, it is only because I have reversed the direction of our travel through the Plane Tunnel and slowed down our travel through the Time Tunnel. ”
"And when can I go back in time?" asked the old man, following closely.
"Wait a few more days, until I've figured out how magic works to travel through time. ”
"Smack!"
The two of them returned to the same time, a starry sky overhead, almost exactly the same as that night. The old man looked sadly into the distance, where his former lover had left.
"The rift started that night. I'm going to have to stop this before it happens!"
"When you say that, I'm a little curious, why do you have conflicts. ”
"Hehe, it's old, it's not worth it now. However, if you really want to hear it, then it doesn't matter if I talk about it. ”
"Heh, I see, even if I don't mention this, you will have to pour out your thoughts sooner or later, after so many years, you are so ruthless, right?"
"Hey, hey. The old man smiled but did not answer.
