Chapter 4 Arriving in a different time and space for the first time
The only regret is that I didn't say goodbye to the King of Hell and Lu Pan.
No need to worry, there will eventually be weak water to replace the vast sea; throw away the entanglement, and send my lovesickness to Wushan again.
...
"The air here is not bad," we were teleported to a forest, it was early morning, "but I think we should get out of this forest first and find a city to live in."
"Yeah~" Banana agreed.
"But before that, we can have dinner!" I took out the food from the ring, and the two of us ate it happily.
Banana actually doesn't like to eat grass, because I saw it stepping on the grass in order to eat the crispy fried chicken on my hand.
I put the fried chicken in the palm of my hand, looked at the banana and ate it, and couldn't help but ask: "Banana, why do you still eat meat when you are a sheep? Can you digest it?"
The banana just bleated and didn't answer, and then I discovered that it actually couldn't speak in the first place.
Bananas are actually very smart. Apart from being unable to speak and walking upright, they are almost the same as humans. However, what is different from humans is that they are not evil-minded, are easily satisfied, and are not greedy.
During that time, I often played with Banana, and I would feel very quiet and peaceful inside. And that period was also one of the happiest times in my life. As for the subsequent travels in the world, and the happy and grudges, that was another story.
A kind of enjoyment.
After we finished breakfast or lunch, we walked in the forest, trying to find a way out.
We judged the direction based on the annual rings on the tree trunks and walked all the way south. Finally, as the sun set, we saw the smoke curling down the mountain.
A village!
The banana seemed more excited than me and ran down the mountain quickly. I couldn't keep up with it, so I said to it: "Stay too far away from me, or you may get roasted and eaten!"
Sure enough, the banana braked suddenly and stopped in front of me. I nodded with satisfaction and it followed obediently.
This village is a little strange. Most of the people are cooking, but no one is outside the house. The doors and windows of every house are closed, which gives me a feeling of "fire prevention, theft prevention, and Marco protection."
I stopped Banana who was about to rush and hit the door, walked to a house and knocked on the door gently.
After a long time, the door of the room was slightly opened, and a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old (actually I was about the same age at the time) timidly poked her head out, looked at me and Banana, and then saw that there was no one else behind me, she said: "You
Who is he? Is something wrong?"
"I was passing by with my sheep to stay overnight." I said as gently as possible.
In fact, I look quite kind, and we are similar in age, so the girl opened the door and said, "Come in. Sheep are not allowed in."
"Uh..." I looked at the banana and said sheepishly, "Well, it doesn't bite, and it's not dirty. Just have a place for it to stand all night."
Banana nodded with deep understanding, which made the little girl smile, "Then you all can come in and keep your voice down, my grandma is sleeping."
I nodded and entered the house gently, and Banana also stepped into the house lightly.
The girl closed the door and said to us, "Wait a moment, I'll go next door to borrow some rice to cook." After saying that, she took a bowl and left the room.
Banana and I looked at each other. This family was so poor and we were embarrassed to be embarrassed. We immediately took out a lot of food from the ring and put it on the table, waiting for the girl to come back and eat together.
But after a long time, the girl didn't come back. My heart skipped a beat and I knew something was wrong. I quickly went out and saw the next scene:
The girl didn't go to the next door to borrow rice at all. She was walking back now, holding a fish in her hand. She was wet all over, but she had a smile on her face.
I ran over in a few steps, took the fish in her hand, and helped her back to the house, "Are you going to fish in the river?" It has turned cold now, and the river water is bitingly cold!
"It's nothing. I often go there after grandma gets sick," the girl said softly, "but don't tell my grandma."
"Okay, hurry up and take a hot bath while you change into dry clothes." I don't know why, but I felt sad when I saw her delicate body trembling, "Don't catch a cold."
"Yes." The girl nodded shyly, glanced at the food piled on the table, and went into the back room, presumably to change clothes.
.....
I didn't know that in another room, a frail old woman was lying on the bed, clenching and then loosening the cold light dagger in her hand, listening to what was going on on my side.
.....
I waited for a while and felt bored, so I started to read the book "Flying Knife Skills with Flowers and Leaves". The content was not difficult to understand and it was written in vernacular. This skill is divided into two parts: internal power and external power: the external power is used to practice hidden weapons.
, internal force increases the strength of hidden weapons and the person's own physique.
As I watched, I noticed that Banana was creeping toward the back room, his neck stretched out. This guy actually had voyeurism!
"Come back," I grabbed it and tugged hard, pulling it back directly. It wasn't that I objected to this behavior, it was mainly because this guy was so embarrassed, and his saliva soaked into the ground.
"What are you doing?" The girl came out, wearing a dry dress and wiping her hair. She saw Banana and I wrestling with each other.
"Move your body." I smiled and stood up, covered in wool.
"Hey~" Sheep is still very collectivist in front of outsiders.
In order to avoid embarrassment, I pointed to the table and said, "Let's eat. By the way, can your grandma get up and eat together?"
"Forget it, let me send it to her." The girl was not particularly happy because of so much food, which puzzled me.
The girl picked some milk and meat, nodded to me, and walked straight into another room. Banana and I had nothing to do, so I continued reading; Banana thought about life.
....
"Grandma, you must have heard it," the girl picked up the old woman and leaned on the bed. She poured a bowl of milk and fed it to the old woman's mouth.
The old woman pushed the bowl away with trembling hands and said seriously: "Have you forgotten, what should I do before eating food from outsiders?"
"A silver needle tests poison." The girl replied, "But he doesn't look like a bad person, does he?"
"It's not like it's not, it's not," the old woman said, "It's important to be on guard against others." She took out a silver needle, dipped it in the milk bowl, looked at it, and then said, "It's okay.
, you eat first, grandma is not hungry. Grandma will tell you something later."
"Grandma, eat first, I'll go get the two brothers settled." After the girl finished speaking, she took out the other food from the bag, placed it next to the old woman, turned around and walked out.
The old woman glanced at the flickering oil lamp with some sadness, then tremblingly took out an ancient book from her arms, then held the dagger in her hand, and laboriously carved words on the bed.
Each word seemed to consume some of her life force, until finally she finished writing. She put a flower at the end, then blew out the oil lamp and lay down on the bed.
After doing all this, she fell asleep peacefully, until there was no trace of life left.
.....
Banana and I were eating food with the girl. Suddenly Banana let out a mournful cry, and I knew something was wrong. The girl seemed to understand something, and her face suddenly turned pale, and she rushed towards the room she came out of just now.
Then he stood at the door in a daze, motionless.
I didn't know what was going on, so I rushed over and saw an old woman lying peacefully on the bed inside.
"Grandma." The girl did not scream loudly, but just called softly. She slowly walked to the bed, knelt down, and sobbed quietly.
I didn't go over, I didn't want to destroy her peace, so I stood quietly at the door with Banana. In one day, I faced a separation and a farewell.
This is Jianghu!
The girl kept stroking the writing on the bed with her hands for a long time. She stood up gently, picked up the sword and the book, and stood in front of her grandmother's body again. I don't know how long it took.
