At this time, Avril Lavigne also came closer with Doris in her arms, standing behind Feng Tie with a smile and looking at the old man. When the old man saw the trio of Feng Tie and Avril Doris, he thought they were a couple with a child.
With a smile in his heart, he said to Feng Tie: "Young man, don't be anxious. I am a guest from afar. Please come with me, a worthy couple, so that I can enjoy my friendship as a landlord." He turned around and led the way towards the tower.
Avril asked Fengtie curiously: "What is virtuous resistance?"
Feng Tie said sternly: "Xian couple means brothers and sisters. This is the name in our hometown, which is more tactful. There is a special way for younger sisters to call elder brothers, which is called 'Ouba', which sounds more intimate. If you
If you want to call me more orthodox, you can add 'Smita' after 'Oppa'. You can definitely call me that in the future to prove the pure friendship between us."
Avril knew that Feng Tie never said a word of truth, so she didn't answer. She glanced at Feng Tie and followed the old man into the tower, carefully looking at the environment inside the tower. The first floor of the tower was very large, and the four sides of the tower were
There are small round windows the size of a human head, letting in sunlight and fresh air from the outside. There is no decoration inside, except for a small red snail tower that has been shrunk countless times on the ground in the middle, about half a person's height.
The color of the tower is divided from top to bottom in the middle. One side is bright red and the other side is dark red. Not far from the small tower, there is a winding stone staircase leading to the top of the tower. Apart from that, there is nothing else.
.
The old man walked in front, and after hearing Toyota's nonsense about Avril Lavigne, he realized that the two were not a couple. He couldn't help but laugh, and greeted the two to the small Chiluo Tower, and said with a smile: "The day when I came here
Earlier, I bumped into a secret here by chance. Look." The old man gently turned the small tower and turned the dark red color that was originally facing the other side in front of a few people. As the tower slowly turned, the inside of the tower
The light quickly dimmed, and Feng Tie and Avril were surprised. Looking out through the round window, the sun was slowly sinking into the sea at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sky was already filled with stars.
As if feeling the disappearance of the scorching sun, Doris, who was dehydrated and comatose by the blazing sunshine, slowly woke up, poked her little head out of Avril's arm, and asked sleepily: "Where are we?"
The old man looked kindly at the little Lolita in Avril's arms, caressed her apple-like little face lovingly, and said with a smile: "This is grandpa's house. Little one, who are you?"
"Then who are you?" Doris asked in a sweet voice.
The old man stretched out his hands naturally, took Doris from Avril's arms, gave the little Lolita a peck on the face, and said with a smile: "Grandpa's name is Hao Aiguo, you can call me Grandpa Hao.
"
Feng Tie glanced at Avril slightly reproachfully, thinking how could you just hand Doris into the hands of a stranger of unknown origin. Avril gave Feng Tie a surprised and incomprehensible look, secretly wondering in her heart, this old man has this kind of...
He has an irresistible aura, but it is not overbearing, but kind and natural, making people feel that whatever he does is natural, and people cannot be wary or resistant at all.
Ghosts become spirits with age, and people become spirits with age. How could Hao Aiguo not see the doubts of the two of them? He smiled, put Doris on the ground, held her little hand and walked towards the stairs, while turning back to Feng Tie and the two with a smile.
: "Since you're here, don't be polite. We're all from my hometown. When you get here, you'll feel like you're at home. Don't have too many worries. Young man, come up with me and let's have a good chat. It's a pity that I don't have the hot kang head like you in the Northeast.
Ha ha ha ha!"
"But good grandpa." Doris shook Hao Aiguo's big hand and said coquettishly: "Can you guys stop chatting first? I'm starving. Let's eat first, okay?"
"Okay, my distinguished little guest, grandpa will treat you well today, but be careful if you stretch your belly and pat your belly, hahahaha!" The old man let out a hearty laugh, and held the little Lolita's hand towards the tower.
As he walked away, Fengtie and Avril had no choice but to follow closely behind.
The second floor of Chiluo Tower seems to be the place where Hao Aiguo lives. On the stone floor are a few wooden boards and a simple bed made of a blanket. A dark wooden box is placed on the ground as a table. Fengtie and the other three people
At the old man's greeting, they sat on the floor, surrounded the wooden box, and watched helplessly as the old man took out four sets of dishes from the wooden box. Feng and Tie's three eyes widened, looking inexplicably at the plates filled with the food that could be seen everywhere outside.
There was white sand and the cup was filled with sea water. Feng Tie couldn't help but cast a doubtful look at the old man, wondering if this old guy was playing tricks on us?
The old man stretched out his hand and sat in an inviting posture, scooped up a spoonful of white sand and put it into his mouth to chew for a while, smacking his lips with satisfaction, then picked up the cup and took a sip of the clear blue sea water, put down the cup and looked at the three of them with a smile. Doris
Maybe he was very hungry, so Hengxin closed his eyes, scooped up a spoonful of sand and put it into his mouth like an old man. He only felt that the entrance was fragrant, soft and delicious, so he let go of his wrinkled little brows and chewed happily, from time to time.
After taking a sip of the seawater in the cup, Doris felt the water was sweet and refreshing. Doris ate happily, laughing so hard that she couldn't even see her eyebrows. She waved her spoon and said, "Brother Fengtie, Sister Avril, why don't you eat?"
When Feng Tie and Avril saw this, they put the white sand into their mouths respectively. They also found it delicious. They opened their arms and ate a big meal regardless of their manners due to hunger. Feng Tie almost bit out a gap in the plate. The old man stopped after a brief taste and laughed.
Hehehe advised the three of them to eat and drink slowly so as not to hurt their spleen and stomach.
After seeing the three of them eating and drinking, sitting there with a sigh of contentment, the old man looked at Feng Tie and slowly said: "Young man, you are also from our place, but these two friends of yours seem to be different.
no."
Feng Tie thought for a moment and felt that it would be better not to hide this weird old man in such a dead-end place. He made up his mind to tell the whole story, but there were many cryptic words in his words. He didn't want Avril and Doris to know about him.
They are aliens who came from time-to-time.
"Yes, they two are from the Wolf Kingdom in the Green Sea Continent, and I am from the Fire Horse Kingdom. I stayed in my hometown for a while when I was young. After so many years, my memory is a bit blurry. Please forgive me." Feng.
Iron introduced.
"Oh, that's it." The old man heard the secrecy in Feng Tie's words, and knew in his heart that the two women in front of him, one large and one small, did not know Feng Tie's details. He smiled slightly and looked towards Avril. Avril came into contact with
In the eyes of the old man, he was surprised to feel that the black color in the old man's pupils was infinitely magnified, spinning into an inward concave vortex. The vortex turned faster and deeper, and Avril was overcome by fatigue, and fell asleep on the wooden box.
After passing by, the old man's eyes looked at Doris again. After a while, Doris also lay on the wooden box and fell asleep.
Feng Tie was shocked and asked, "What did you do to them both?"
"It's nothing." The old man said calmly: "I just let them rest for a while and they will wake up soon. You don't have to worry. I don't mean any harm. This time we are the only two awake people left. You can put your
Have you made it clear where you came from? The words I just heard you say outside seem to be different from the times before I came here. Can you tell me, a poor old man who has not heard the local accent for many years? "
Looking at the rhythmic rise and fall of the two girls' shoulders and backs while breathing steadily, Feng Tie breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Hao Aiguo, Hao Aiguo, listen to your name, look at your age, and judge from your words and deeds.
I guess you came here during the Cultural Revolution!"
"Yes, you are right." The old man sighed, his face full of painful memories, "When I came here, it was in 1972, when the movement was in full swing. At that time, I was in East China Normal University
I taught at a university, full-time teaching the history of Western capitalism, so I was labeled as a counter-revolutionary. Because I couldn't stand the torture that my students who once loved academics suddenly turned against me, I moved to Fujian with the help of my relatives, hoping to leave Fujian.
Hong Kong smuggled people abroad to avoid the limelight.”
Hao Aiguoxu adjusted the non-existent glasses on his face and said: "But the boat that took us to smuggle us across was too small. We encountered a thunderstorm at sea, and the boat was broken into pieces by strong winds and huge waves. I hugged him tightly.
The two wooden boxes floated on the sea for several days, and finally passed out due to hunger and thirst. When I woke up..." Hao Aiguo smiled bitterly and pointed outside, "I came here. Then I found it.
This high tower, I discovered that this tower has a mysterious connection with this inexplicable place. It can control the sun, moon and sunset, wind and tide here. As long as you are in the tower, you can become the master of this place, do whatever you want, and do whatever you want.
"
Hao Aiguo's expression became excited: "It's just that there is no alternation of day and night here. The cold comes and the heat comes. I don't know how long I have been here. Since I came here, my body has maintained its original appearance and has not aged.
I never get sick, and of course, I never die. All I have with me is endless loneliness."
Seeing that the old man was completely trapped in a painful and lonely mood, Feng Tie also understood the whole story and couldn't help but feel extremely sympathetic to the poor old man in front of him. Feng Tie said hesitantly to the old man: "Mr. Hao
, I am also a citizen of the People's Republic of China, and what is different from you is that I come from 2013."
… … … …
When Avril and Doris woke up, Fengtie and the old man were missing.
Avril got up quickly, called Feng Tie's name and ran downstairs. After pushing open the tower door, she saw Hao Aiguo and Feng Tie, an old man and a young man, sitting on the beach and talking. The stars in the sky were casting on the dark sea.
Countless points of light were also quietly listening to their conversation.
Feng Tie heard the sound of the tower door creaking and opening, and saw Avril leaning on the door with a concerned look on her face. Warmth filled her heart, and Doris also flew out of the door like a light butterfly.
Xiang and the two of them chuckled and said, "What are you doing here so late? Are you stealing some delicious snacks? Give me some."
Feng Tie and the old man smiled knowingly, patted the sand on their bodies and stood up. Feng Tie stood side by side with Avril, holding hands with the little Lolita to bid farewell to the old man. The old man smiled and said: "The six-pointed star-shaped knot you described
I have seen the boundary nearly a hundred miles north here, and I have also passed by it, but I didn't have any special reaction. You go and try it. I don't have any gifts to give you. The only thing I can give you is this.
Go to the endless starry sky."
"Good grandpa, won't you come with us?" Doris asked in confusion.
"I'm old and can't walk anymore. I've been watching here for too long and have become one with this sea sand. But I will silently bless you here and hope you can go home soon. This is already mine.
All hope.”
The old man smiled and watched as the backs of Feng Tie and the other three people who frequently looked back gradually turned into three invisible black dots. The white hair on their heads quickly grew to their waists, and then fell off one by one to the ground. The originally rosy and smooth skin became
The old man was so shriveled that he suddenly looked old. The old man let out a long sigh and seemed to have removed all his burdens. He sat back on the bamboo bench in front of the tower and looked at the dark sea with deep and calm eyes.
