The sound of the door opening woke Tenshu from his sleep, and he tried to open his eyes, but it seemed that someone had put a lump of lead on his eyelids, and even if he had used the strength to feed, he only barely opened his eyelids by a slit - a vague black shadow approached him in the twilight.

"Are you awake?" it was a familiar voice, tender and concerned.

Tianshu could hear that this was Su Su's voice. Originally, he had been thinking about what happened to Su Su, but now when he heard her voice, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He tried to ask me what was wrong, but his tongue didn't seem to be his own, he couldn't turn it, his mouth couldn't open, and finally the sentence became a "whine" sound in his throat.

Miraculously, Su Su seems to understand!

"Don't worry, Childe, you can move after a while. ”

Tianshu nodded as hard as he could, wondering if Su Su had seen it.

"Childe will rest for a while, and I'll go get food for Childe. With that, he walked out.

Tianshu simply closed his eyes again.

After a while, Tianshu woke up again. Although my body still felt soft, this time everything was finally normal. He sat up and looked around.

This is an ordinary room for ordinary people, with tables and chairs that have been peeled off, and a simple teapot is placed on the table, and a small corner is missing from the mouth. However the room was very clean and tidy. It was already dusk, and the setting sun was tilting, shooting into the room, giving a simple sense of comfort.

The door opened again.

Tianshu raised his eyes and saw that it was not Su Su who came in this time, but an old man with a cane.

The old man's body was already a little stiff, and his hair, beard, and eyebrows were all gray. He greeted Tianshu with a smile: "Young man, you have finally woken up. ”

Tianshu got out of bed, hurriedly helped the old man, and asked, "Old man, may I ask what is wrong with me? Where is this?"

Sitting down by Tianshu, the old man looked at Tianshu with a smile, and his eyes were full of appreciation. He motioned for Tianshu to sit too, then poured a glass of water for Tianshu, and said, "Young man, don't worry, drink saliva and listen to me slowly." ”

Tianshu nodded, and also poured a glass of water for the old man.

The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Hehe, you young man is really polite." ”

Tianshu smiled embarrassedly and said, "My father and mother taught me to respect my elders since I was a child. After speaking, his heart was inexplicably "dimmed", and three words repeatedly appeared in his mind - "my father".

Tianshu knew very well who this was referring to. And what about his own parents? Will they teach themselves this? Are they still alive......

"Young man, what's wrong with you?" the old man's voice pulled Tianshu's thoughts back.

Tianshu instantly eliminated the grief that flashed, shook his head and said, "No, it's okay." ”

The old man took a sip of water and began to say: "This is Peach Blossom Valley, you drank the water from the Eji River, so you were unconscious in the woods, and when our people found you, the little girl was limping with you just now. ”

"White girl, she ......" Tianshu seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't seem to say anything.

The old man seemed to understand him very well, and said to him: "Childe, please rest assured, the old man has already shown the white girl, only a small injury, and after applying medicine, it has been cured." ”

"Already?" said Tenju, temptingly.

"Hehe, Childe doesn't know," the old man replied with a smile, "Actually, Childe has been in a coma for more than two months. ”

"What?" Tianshu stood up and looked at the old man in amazement. But what he was thinking at this time was that he ran away from home without saying goodbye, and it had been so long since he came out, and he didn't know what happened to his parents now.

The old man always seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, so he patted his hand lightly and said to him, "Don't worry, Childe, Peach Blossom Valley is very different from the outside world. There are rules of time here, and two months is equivalent to about an hour on your side. ”

Tianshu looked at him in disbelief.

The old man motioned for him to sit down, and then said slowly, "Then I'll introduce you to this place first." According to legend, in the era of chaos, the god Pangu used his big axe to open the heavens and the earth, and the clear qi rose to the sky, and the turbid qi sank to the earth. In the process of separating heaven and earth, many spatial cracks appeared, and these spatial cracks existed independently outside heaven and earth, with their own unique rules of time and space, and only a very small number of mysterious passages could be connected to the outside world. Of course, most of the spatial rifts have disappeared in the long river of ten thousand years, and Peach Blossom Valley is one of the surviving ones. So, it's impossible to get here without absolute chance. ”

Tianshu listened quietly, and there was nothing more appropriate for these areas of which he knew nothing than to listen quietly first.

The old man paused, took a sip of water, and continued: "However, because this independent space is always in relative motion to the outside world, although you can go back the way you came, no one knows where the exit is in the Nine Heavens Mountain. ”

Tianshu nodded, indicating that he understood.

At this time, Su Su walked in from outside the door with food, and saw that Tianshu had woken up, his hands couldn't help but tremble, put the food on the table, blushed, and said to Tianshu a little excitedly: "Childe, you are finally awake." ”

Before Tianshu could speak, the old man preemptively said: "Young man, you are so blessed, you have such a good little girl, who has been by your side almost sleepless to take care of you during the two months that you have been in a coma, or with a mortal body like you, if you don't eat or drink for two months, you would have seen the king of Hades a long time ago." ”

Only then did Tianshu realize that Su Su's originally round cheeks were indeed sunken a lot, and the deep eye bags darkened the originally bright eyes a lot.

"White girl, thank you very much. He said solemnly.

Su Su shook his head hurriedly and said, "It's not hard or hard, it's okay if the son is fine." Then she felt her face warm up again, and said softly: "Childe will call me Susu in the future......

"Su, Su, hehe. Tianshu smiled and said, "Then don't call me Childe, you can call me Tianshu in the future." ”

Su Su shook her head again and said, "How can you ......?"

At this time, the old man stood up and answered: "Little girl, I see that you are a little younger than him, why don't you call him 'brother' first?" After speaking, the old man looked at them back and forth, and when he saw that they were all nodding, he said with a smile: "Okay, you can have a good talk, my old bones will not be here to hinder you." ”

Tianshu hurriedly grabbed the old man and said, "Old man, please stay, I still have a lot of questions I hope you can answer for me." ”

Su Su also immediately continued: "Yes, yes, Uncle Cheng, can you stay for a while, I also have questions." ”

Cheng Bo smiled helplessly and sat down again.

After some questions and answers, Tianshu finally sorted things out.

Peach Blossom Valley is an independent space. There are about 100 households here, and their ancestors followed the patriarch to hide here 3,000 years ago to escape the war between gods and demons, and then settled down for generations. And Cheng Bo is the patriarch of their generation. They live in this peach blossom forest. The reason why Tianshu didn't find out was because his ancestors cast a very powerful barrier on this peach blossom forest, so that outsiders could not discover the village at all, and the people inside could clearly know every move outside, just in case. And Tianshu and Susu are the first two guests from outside for so long.

The only source of water here is the Eji River, and no one knows exactly where it originates and where it will end up, and it never runs dry. Uncle Cheng said that when their ancestors came in, this place was already like this, and the reason was the water here. This water can make any tree turn pink. Although most of the peach trees in the peach blossom forest are peach trees, due to their needs, there are also a small number of fruit trees that are not, but other fruit trees, but the magic is that although the fruit is still the same fruit, the flowers and leaves can only be pink. Another very magical thing about this water is that it has a very strong calming effect, and if you drink too much at first, you will even freeze your death. Tianshu is a little closer to this situation. They have lived here for generations, and although their bodies have adapted to the water here, they don't drink too much raw water at one time, because no one wants to be groggy in the middle of the day, right?

Tianshu took a sip of water in his mouth, and sure enough, there would be a faint fragrance.

By the time they finished asking the questions they could think of now, it was dinner time. A little girl's voice sounded from outside: "Is Grandpa Cheng here?"

"Here it is. Cheng Bo replied with a hearty smile.

A little girl, about seven or eight years old, walked in with a bowl the size of her face and a smaller bowl on top of it, looking very struggling.

Su Su hurriedly went up to take the big bowl, and asked with a smile, "Xiao Tongtong, why are you here?"

The little girl blinked her big black eyes, looked at Tianshu, and said timidly: "I killed an old hen at home, and I heard that the big brother is about to wake up, so let me bring some over." ”

Su Su placed the large bowl on the table and opened the bowl that was buckled on top. Tianshu saw that this bowl was full, at least half of the chicken, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

He squatted in front of the little girl and said with a smile: "Your name is Xiao Tongtong, go back and tell your father and mother that the big brother is very grateful to them and likes the chicken they make." ”

Xiao Tongtong nodded shyly, glanced at Tianshu again, and then blushed and ran out quickly.

Cheng Bo walked over and said with a smile: "Don't be restrained here, just be your own home." ”

Su Su seemed to agree with this, and nodded violently at Tianshu.

Looking at Su Su's appearance, Tianshu couldn't help but smile.
