As the flood of shock surged, Zhang Haomin, who was swept away, was speechless for a long time, he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad, he just froze in place, looking at Xiaoyao in a daze, the straight eyes, and the hair in Xiaoyao's heart.

"What does that mean?"

Zhang Haomin, who gradually calmed down, didn't want to talk at all at this time, he originally wanted to see Xiaoyao's jokes, but he didn't expect that his jokes didn't look at it, but let him see his jokes, and he really wanted to cry without tears.

"What do you mean, that is, the world has always been like this?"

"That's right. ”

"Then why did they all avoid me like a plague? and called me crazy. ”

"It's strange if you don't hide, look at what you're wearing. ”

"What else can I wear?"

Zhang Haomin muttered while looking down at the clothes on his body, and understood the words in his mouth just halfway through speaking. The people here are all wearing coarse linen clothes and scarves, and they look like they are retro, no, for themselves, they are ancients.

And he was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, sweatpants and a pair of sneakers soaked in the mud that couldn't be seen as sneakers at all.

"Do you have any money on you?"

Looking at Zhang Haomin's longing eyes, Xiaoyao really couldn't bear to refuse him, but after all, he had just escaped from the chessboard, and where did he get the money.

"I don't have any money. ”

"What? You don't have any money, so what are we going to eat tonight and where are we staying?"

"I don't need to eat. ”

"Then you save it, but what about me? What should I do? ”

Xiaoyao felt that this was indeed a problem, but after thinking about the forest, he said.

"There are a lot of wild things and wild fruits in the forest, which should be enough for you to eat. ”

"Wild Things, Wild Fruits?"

Zhang Haomin couldn't help but feel a chill at the thought of eating those wild animals, and his head was about to shake into a rattle, so he resolutely disagreed.

"I don't want it, those things don't necessarily have any viruses on them, if they don't handle it well and don't kill them, and then infect me again, won't that make me die young? ”

"What is it? Why do you keep saying weird words?"

"You don't care about that, you have to find a way to get some money, or we're going to be hungry tonight, and we haven't got a place to live yet, so we can't sleep on the streets." ”

The more Zhang Haomin spoke, the more angry he became, and then he glanced at the clothes on his body, and scolded: "Damn, I don't even have decent clothes, how can I mix it." ”

So the two of them walked around the streets one after the other, ready to find a job that could make a living, it didn't matter how much or less the salary was given, as long as they could eat and live, but despite such low requirements, they still refused four or five in a row.

"Shopkeeper, are you recruiting apprentices here?"

This is the last blacksmith shop at the end of the street, Zhang Haomin thinks that although he has no other skills, he still has a lot of strength, maybe he can find an apprentice here, but it is also a good livelihood.

"You?"

"Yes, that's me. ”

Zhang Haomin was very happy at this time, because finally someone didn't treat him as a crazy person anymore, and he just blew him away without saying a word.

The shopkeeper looked at Zhang Haomin, and then looked at Xiaoyao standing behind Zhang Haomin, he couldn't sense the slightest vitality from these two people, so he said disdainfully.

"You have thin arms and legs that can do this job?"

"If you don't try, how do you know if you can do it? ”

Zhang Haomin is not stupid, how can he not see the disdain in the eyes of the shopkeeper, but now he has no money, let alone wealth, for today's dinner and accommodation, he can only swallow his anger.

I saw the shopkeeper pointing to the iron lock behind the door, and said nonchalantly: "You can try it." ”

After speaking, he lowered his head again and checked the accounts on the table.

This iron lock is extremely heavy when it looks at it, especially for people like Zhang Haomin who have not yet cultivated, let alone lift it, they can't move it just by moving it.

So Zhang Haomin had to leave in disgrace. When he got out of the shop, he looked at the endless crowd on the street, and looked at the sky that was approaching sunset, and he suddenly felt very confused.

When I think about it, I don't seem to have any talent at all, so where should I find a job?

Besides, it was almost dark today, and his stomach was growling with hunger, but he had not yet found a place to live, and a seed of decadence was taking root in his heart.

"Why are people so good? Either from a rich background, or with great talent, it's just me, not to mention a place to live, I can't even eat, why? ”

The more I talked, the more I felt aggrieved, looking at this strange world, the big tears of the bean actually flowed up, out of control.

Xiaoyao felt a little unbearable in his heart, walked to Zhang Haomin's side, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said: "Manly man, how can you cry easily? There will always be a way, not to mention that I am still here." ”

Zhang Haomin looked at Xiaoyao with tears in his eyes, like a drowning man seeing a life-saving straw, in this strange and indifferent world, now only Xiaoyao can bring him that little warmth and peace of mind.

"But. ”

"It's nothing, you wait here for me for a while, and I'll be back shortly. ”

As soon as he heard that he was leaving, Zhang Haomin immediately grabbed his arm, for fear that he would abandon himself and never come back.

The sky has darkened, and the brilliant glow is about to be swallowed up by the night, leaving only a wisp of fresh wind, blowing down the street to the end of the alley, making Zhang Haomin, who was already wearing thin clothes, shiver.

"If you're leaving, can you take me with you?"

Xiaoyao looked at Zhang Haomin's pitiful appearance, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"I can't take you with me, but I promise I'll be back soon, because you're my savior. ”

But no matter what Xiaoyao said, Zhang Haomin just refused to let go, seeing that he was about to stage a cry, two troubles and three hangings, Xiaoyao had to recite a spell helplessly, and temporarily fixed Zhang Haomin.

"Just wait a little while, and I promise to be back soon. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoyao disappeared in a flash, leaving only Zhang Haomin alone, standing alone in place, still maintaining his previous posture.

At this time, he can't say that he can move his arms and legs, he can't say a simple word, no, he should say that he can only hum simply, and he can't say a word.

Unable to move, he gradually calmed down, he could clearly feel the coolness of the wind sliding on his skin, he could smell the smell of steaming rice wafting from a certain house, this strange world was becoming more and more real.

From the beginning, the absurd and bizarre game of chess, to a white-bearded old man who can be supernatural, to a person who is transformed from chess pieces, and even at this moment, this Qingshui Town full of ancient style, all of this is no longer like a dream.

He can't remember his life anymore, he can't remember the places he once lived, he can't remember the friends he once knew, and he can't remember who his parents were.

All he remembered was the metropolis of tall buildings, the streets with neon lights, and the online world that everyone was addicted to.

Gradually, he is no longer afraid of this strangeness, nor is he afraid of this loneliness, since he has crossed here, he does not want to be like the protagonists in those novels, he can ascend to the sky in one step and fight all over the world.

He just wants to live seriously, to seriously feel the beauty of this new world, and to find the life of cultivating immortals that he dreams of.

"I want to cultivate immortals, I want to cultivate immortals, I want to cultivate immortals!"

Zhang Haomin shouted vigorously in his heart, as for why he shouted three times, because important things have to be said three times!
