Chapter 8 Crossing
On the way home, Chen Xiaomo once again asked about the cause of his father's death, and Liu Shumei no longer concealed it, and recounted what happened this morning.
Chen Xiaomo's face was gloomy, and he said angrily: "How can they do this, killing people is a crime, I want to sue them!"
"Yes, wait until I tell my dad about this, and let him administer justice!" Zhang Yafei said indignantly.
With Zhang Yafei's support, Chen Xiaomo was also a little relieved. Liu Shumei also nodded slightly and said no more. The three of them walked silently towards their home.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the door, they suddenly saw Wu Huaicheng and a few people coming out of nowhere. Seeing Chen Xiaomo, Wu Huaicheng said with a smile: "Chen Xiaomo, I've been waiting for you here for a long time. ”
Chen Xiaomo seemed to suddenly remember something, and said loudly: "Wu Huaicheng, your father is the director of the Urban Management Bureau, did you kill my father?"
"What, your father is dead?" Wu Huaicheng said. At the beginning, he just told Brother Zhang and Brother Wang to teach Chen Yuanshan and Liu Shumei a lesson, but he never expected that they would kill someone, how could he explain to his father Wu Ping when he went back!
"Wu Huaicheng, what are you still pretending!" Chen Xiaomo grabbed Wu Huaicheng's collar and said, "Haven't you always looked at me unpleasantly? Perhaps, he vented the resentment he had suffered over the years along with today's unhappiness.
Wu Huaicheng heard that Chen Xiaomo's father was beaten to death by his own people, and was thinking about whether he should continue to teach Chen Xiaomo a lesson. At this time, Zhang Yafei came over and said, "Xiaomo, don't be impulsive, let him go first." ”
Seeing Zhang Yafei, Wu Huaicheng was angry and didn't fight anywhere, she was supposed to be her own woman, but now she is cheaper than Chen Xiaomo.
Thinking of this, Wu Huaicheng also grabbed Chen Xiaomo's collar and said, "Chen Xiaomo, you kid toad wants to eat swan meat, Zhang Yafei is my woman!"
Zhang Yafei next to him said: "Wu Huaicheng, I know you like me, but Xiaomo and I have been together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and now we are in love!" Hearing this, Chen Xiaomo glanced at Zhang Yafei, and his eyes showed a look of infinite emotion.
"Two loves?haha!" Wu Huaicheng sneered: "Where did you put me?" After that, Wu Huaicheng punched Chen Xiaomo in the face, Chen Xiaomo took a few steps back, and a stream of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, flowing downward, drop by drop from his chin, and it happened to drop on a semi-heart-shaped jade that Chen Xiaomo usually hung around his neck, which was accidentally exposed from his clothes in the fight with Wu Huaicheng just now. Then, without anyone noticing, the blood quickly seeped into the jade.
Chen Xiaomo and Wu Huaicheng were both unconvinced, and they scuffled together. Zhang Yafei and Liu Shumei shouted to stop on the side, but it didn't work. Dongzi and the men he brought with him couldn't intervene, so they had to stand on the side.
At the same time as Chen and Wu were fighting, the piece of jade on Chen Xiaomo's neck became brighter and brighter, emitting a faint jade-white light, with a faint red light in it. This bit of red light expanded rapidly from one point to another, gradually devouring the entire piece of jade, almost enveloping Chen Xiaomo and Wu Huaicheng in it. Just as everyone was surprised by this, the white clouds in the sky quickly swirled, and in the blink of an eye, a huge whirlpool had formed. In the whirlpool, the golden light shimmered, and there were faint bursts of thunder.
Attracted by this strange phenomenon, Chen Xiaomo and Wu Huaicheng also stopped fighting and looked at the sky together. It was too late, but it was fast, and a pillar of light shot down from the whirlpool, enveloping Chen and Wu at once.
The golden mangs are penetrated, and people are hidden in them.
Everyone was so stunned by this golden light that they couldn't open their eyes, and they couldn't see the situation inside the golden light. Before everyone could react, the pillar of light quickly shrank from the surrounding to the center, and the vortex in the sky gradually became smaller, and within a few seconds, the pillar of light had shrunk to the thickness of the mouth of the bowl, but only Chen Xiaomo and Wu Huaicheng were missing.
The pillar of light continued to taper and thinner, and the light became fainter and fainter. Eventually, the huge pillar of light turned into a ray of light. Then, that ray of light slowly disappeared from the world, as if it had evaporated. Everyone looked up at the sky, but saw that the whirlpool had also disappeared, and the white clouds swayed with the breeze, slowly drifting into the distance. Everyone looked at each other, and the magical scene just now looked at it as if nothing had happened.
However, Chen Xiaomo and Wu Huaicheng, who were still scuffling together just now, mysteriously disappeared in place!
"What about Xiaomo?" Zhang Yafei was the first to react.
"Hey, Brother Cheng is gone!" Dongzi said.
Everyone looked separately for a long time, but they could no longer see half of Chen Xiaomo and Wu Huaicheng's shadows, and the two of them seemed to have disappeared from this world......
The sky is vast, and the earth is vast. For a hundred years, people come and go.
In a trance, Chen Xiaomo seemed to be shuttling through a channel full of light all around, shining and dazzling. The light flew backwards like a thin line. Chen Xiaomo swam in it and felt greatly comfortable.
Suddenly, the light in front of him disappeared, like the end of dusk, pitch black. Chen Xiaomo fell headlong into the black bottomless abyss and closed his eyes in fright.
After a long time, Chen Xiaomo slowly opened his eyes, but saw the blue sky and white clouds, but those clouds were all flying upward, and Chen Xiaomo himself was falling downward, if he landed directly like this, he would definitely be crushed, he couldn't help but scream "ah".
With a shout, Chen Xiaomo sat up, but was surprised to find that he was sitting on the bed. He couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it turned out that it was just a dream!
But the sight in front of him made him wonder. The furnishings in this room are not from their own home, and none of the furnishings in the room are modern furniture, a table of eight immortals, with a long bench placed in the front and back of the table, judging from the color of the table and stool, it seems to have been some years old. There was no bed in the room, only a large kang with futons on top of it, all dark brown in color. Other than that, all that was left in the room was a rudimentary dresser, and the bronze mirror on it was very dilapidated. There were bunches of sun-dried peppers and corn hanging on the walls, nothing else, and the skin on the walls had fallen off a lot.
Just when Chen Xiaomo was confused, two people walked in from outside the door, and a woman's voice gradually came: "Child, you're awake!" This voice seemed to be somewhat familiar, Chen Xiaomo looked back, but his mouth grew in surprise.
"Dad, Mom, why are you dressed like this?" Chen Xiaomo said, pointing to their clothes that resembled ancient people. It is true that the two people in front of them are too similar to Chen Xiaomo's parents, and they are exactly the same in appearance. It's just that they are all wearing strange clothes, and they look much older than Chen Yuanshan and Liu Shumei in the modern world.
The couple was also taken aback, and then asked, "Son, what did you just call us?"
"Of course it's called your parents, otherwise what else can you call it?" Chen Xiaomo said.
This is, the woman suddenly cried and said to the man: "Lao Zhang, pity our son. If he hadn't joined the army back then, he would have been so big. ”
The man's expression was also dark, and he said to the woman, "Alas, it's okay, don't cry." Then he turned to Chen Xiaomo and said, "Child, although I really hope that you are our child, we are indeed not your parents." Yesterday morning, we went to the field to harvest the crops, and found you lying in the field, but you couldn't wake up no matter how much you screamed, so we took you back to the house. ”
"Dad, Mom, don't joke......" Chen Xiaomo smiled, but as smart as him, when he thought about it, he found that there were many things wrong. The quaint furnishings, strange clothes, and old face, all these strange phenomena filled Chen Xiaomo's brain, "Could it be that this is really not my parents?"
A series of questions slipped through his mind, and Chen Xiaomo asked, "May I ask where I am?"
The man said: "This is Stone Village, you are in my house now, my name is Zhang San." Then, he pointed to the woman beside him and said, "This is my wife, Wang Cuihua." ”
Chen Xiaomo said again: "Oh, uncle and aunt, hello, eh, may I ask which province and which city is Stone Village in?"
"What are provinces and cities?" Zhang San wondered.
"You don't know the provinces and cities?" Chen Xiaomo said.
"Kid, I really don't know what the provinces and cities you are talking about. Zhang San said slowly: "The world is so big that it is divided into four counties. North, south, west and east, the beast snow is sad and bright. You are now in the largest of the four kingdoms, the Great Ming Kingdom. ”
"What, what!" Chen Xiaomo's mouth opened wide in shock, he didn't even believe his ears.
Zhang Sandao: "The Great Ming Kingdom is protected by many immortal righteous sects, and the king has been diligent in government and loves the people in recent years, so it is more stable than the other three kingdoms. ”
"Mom, it seems that the journey through the beam just now was not a dream, I may have really crossed over. Chen Xiaomo said secretly, there seemed to be some expectation in his heart, but more fear.
In the past, Chen Xiaomo had also read time-traveling novels, but he didn't expect that he had experienced it himself.
However, when others cross, they either jump over a lake and fall off a cliff, or they have an artifact such as a moonlight treasure box, but how did they cross it themselves? Chen Xiaomo tried his best to recall the scene before the crossing, but he only remembered that he and Wu Huaicheng scuffled together, but he forgot everything about what happened afterward, as if his memory had been erased.
Just when Chen Xiaomo was in a daze, Wang Cuihua said: "Child, you haven't eaten for a day, you must be hungry, right? If you don't dislike it, just eat with us!"
When Wang Cuihua said this, Chen Xiaomo really felt that his stomach was a little hungry. So, he got up and got off the kang and ate with Zhang and Wang.
The meals are all ordinary farmhouse meals, but Chen Xiaomo is very accustomed to eating them.
"There's nothing good at home, so just eat it. Wang Cuihua said, her voice was extremely gentle.
"It's delicious, and I've grown up eating it. Chen Xiaomo said, and he didn't restrain it, so he devoured it, because he hadn't eaten for a day and was too hungry.
Zhang San saw that Chen Xiaomo was dressed in a strange outfit and his hair was short, not like theirs, so he asked strangely, "Child, where are you from?"
Chen Xiaomo just wanted to say that he had crossed over, but after thinking about it, even if he really said this, people would probably not believe it, so he had an idea and said: "I have been fatherless and motherless since I was a child, and I have been wandering alone until now, so I don't know where I am." ”
"Oh, that's right!" Zhang San's expression was gloomy, as if he felt extremely sympathetic to Chen Xiaomo's life experience.
"That, that ......" Wang Cuihua wanted to speak and stopped.
"Auntie, what's wrong?" asked Chen Xiaomo.
Wang Cuihua plucked up her courage and said: "Child, don't you have no father, it just so happens that we have lost our son, why don't you be our son?"
Hearing this, Chen Xiaomo's brain spun rapidly, anyway, he is now homeless, they also look similar to their parents, and they saved their lives, it is better to recognize them as parents. ”
The next moment, Chen Xiaomo knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said in the tone of the characters in the scholar's costume TV series: "Daddy is above, please bow to the child!"
"Ouch, my good son, get up quickly. Wang Cuihua smiled and helped Chen Xiaomo up, tears of excitement had already flowed in her eyes. Zhang San next to him also smiled from ear to ear.
"Mother, why are you crying?" Seeing Wang Cuihua crying, Chen Xiaomo's heart was also sour.
"Nothing, nothing, let's eat. Wang Cuihua wiped her tears and said.
Chen Xiaomo seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Chen Xiaomo, you can call me Xiaomo in the future." Zhang San and Wang Cuihua smiled and nodded.
