Chapter 137 Yang
One day in the mountains, the trance in the world is like the past hundred years.
After what happened on the chicken cage rock that night, it has been another three days in a blink of an eye.
Outside Fan Village, where the sky is not yet fully bright, a few "old children" with red eyes, grinning yellow teeth, and hungry saliva are squatting on the branches of the wild forest covered with hoarfrost.
In the severe cold environment of more than ten degrees below zero, the group of dwarf monsters who haven't run very far have obviously been wandering around here hungry for several days, but they never found a chance to ambush in the middle of the night.
This made these 'old children' who were completely hungry feel a little annoyed, they could only grab the trunk next to them and climb up to the top of the tree to vent and shake vigorously, making the snow under the tree always have lumps of accumulation Snow falls.
And the reason why these white-haired man-eating gnomes didn't dare to approach the village according to the previous order of the chicken man, they only dared to wander around here in such a despondent manner.
The biggest problem here is not that they dare not break in and directly confront those timid stinky ants.
What's more, the top of the seemingly ordinary ant village is exuding a powerful dragon aura that makes them creepy at the moment, so that they are so far away that they squatted in the snow and screamed in fright. Old children can clearly see a group of dragon-shaped auspicious clouds entrenched above a certain house in this village in the distance, issuing terrifying and majestic warnings to them high above.
"Go back and tell Gong Jilang that I will save the life of that man named Jin Suoyang before the New Year's Eve. If you dare to take a step closer to Fan Village in the future, I will break your legs alive and take out your intestines. The fish and shrimps in my river are used for the New Year’s Eve dinner, do you understand?”
The arrogant voice that warned them when they stood alone in the cold forest three days ago still lingers in the hearts of the terrified old children, which makes them dare not go there these days no matter how hungry they are. Half a step closer to Fan Village.
But whenever they were about to retreat collectively, they became timid again when they saw the red moon above their heads that resembled the eyes of a rooster.
"Dragon King... Hehe... Dragon King... Over there... Hehe... Can't catch... Can't catch... Rooster... Rooster... Eat us..."
Whispering to each other and whispering to each other like this, the 'old children' squatting on the snow and shivering are obviously because they have suffered from a certain angry Dragon Lord a few nights ago.
But the rooster behind them, who has temporarily disappeared for the past few days, is absolutely impossible to give up so well, so this also makes them a little inhuman, so they can only continue to wander here eagerly every day with such courage.
Just waiting for the last few days of the Chinese New Year, when they find a way to catch the "last rooster" who is currently hiding in the village and escape, and then they jump directly over the meddling Dragon King and jump on it together. ... Swallow the prey viciously before handing over to that rooster man.
"The rooster...catch the rooster...hehe...can't escape...hehe...peel the skin...kill them all..."
Most of the villagers in Fan Village, who are still immersed in the New Year's atmosphere and sleepy in the morning, certainly don't know what those 'old kids' outside are completely waiting for.
At a glance, there are paper-cuts with national characteristics, paintings of ancestor gods and statues of ferocious and majestic dragons posted in front of the huts in front of the village.
Almost every year during the Spring Festival, the village will get it from the village government below. After taking it back and pasting it on the window with the paste cooked in a large pot, the atmosphere of the year in the house will instantly become strong.
On the other side, at seven o'clock in the morning, on the small wooden building of Yang Hua's family that Fan Xi talked about, a thin layer of shining white ice flowers was forming under the eaves.
In the small room with no lights on, the dragon's energy was about to collapse that night in order to save people, so Qin Gentiana, who had hardly gone anywhere in the past three days, was leaning against the corner of the wall motionless and staring at his scaly body. Look at the silver bracelet on your hand.
As far as he could see, the silver ornaments with patterns on the surface showed a rough light under the early morning sun, just like the engraved metal ring under his tongue, which he would lick from time to time until now, exuding an enchanting feeling. His whole body has an extremely relaxed temperature.
The only difference is that the metal ring with the name engraved on it was a souvenir he had left for someone, and this silver bracelet was given to him after he came to Dongshan by following the clues left by Jiaohualong and Yinsi. one thing.
"...The pattern on this silver bracelet is called "Longhuitou" in our local area. It means the reunion of husband and wife who have been separated for a long time. The meaning of family reunion is very good. The dragon will bless all sincere people in the sky. With it on your body, you can find the person you want to find in your heart, and it can also protect the safety of your family."
When he came to the foot of Dongshan Mountain alone that year, this was the first time he heard it from the mouth of an old silversmith at the foot of the mountain.
Later, he bought the dragon back and wore it on himself all the time, even though he himself didn't quite believe that it would actually be useful.
And at this moment, he unconsciously stretched out his frozen red fingers to touch it, and closed his eyes morbidly and contentedly the moment he came into contact with this luminous thing.
After a long time, Qin Gentiana, who was in a very bad state of mind, leaned against the wall behind him and looked at the top of his head in a sluggish way, then squinted his gray eyes and muttered sleepily to himself.
"It's so cold."
Looking up and talking to himself like this, holding the metal ring with the engraved name under his tongue and licking the underside of his lips and teeth, Gentiana Qin actually doesn't know what he is unhappy about, or who he wants to treat vaguely express something.
But when the words came to his lips, he still used his hands to cover his eyes that were so dry and uncomfortable from the stimulation of the light, as if they were about to go blind in the next second, and gently rushed at himself with a voice that was so weak that it was almost inaudible. complained,
"Jin Heng, why didn't you close the window, I'm so cold."
"..."
The small building was empty, and no one could answer him. The adopted daughter Yang Hua he adopted many years ago should still be sleeping upstairs at the moment, so the surrounding area is extremely quiet at the moment.
And obviously he was very uncomfortable, but he still sat here and spent the whole night completely on his own.
At this moment, while dreaming aimlessly, Qin Geng, who was so bored that he could only talk to himself, still really felt that after many years, he still didn't make any progress at all, and even abandoned his principles and dignity more and more. Someone's inseparable and longing.
[After tonight, I will temporarily send him to Fan Xi's home to recuperate. Before the New Year's Eve, Fan Village should have no problems with me. He won't know that I and the person who rescued him underwater Tiaolong is alone, until his injury is completely healed, I will keep a certain distance from him. 】
That was what he himself said to Laota that night.
Qin Gentiana doesn't think there is any problem in retrospect. After all, the rooster man who hides his head and shows his tail, leaving only a bunch of old children around the village is still missing. He always wants to save his life for someone For the sake of safety.
But knowing it was one thing in his heart, he still felt an inexplicable irritability like never before...even a sense of loss that he had never felt before.
Because judging from the current situation, the guy who had been awakened by Fan Xi's mouth really didn't have the slightest intention to meet him, a stranger, even if he just asked someone to pass on a word of thanks.
"Has any stranger come to the house these days?"
"Ah? No..."
When he took the initiative to bring up this topic three days ago, his adopted daughter Yang Hua gave the same answer every time, and the expressionless Qin Gentian stopped talking after asking.
After a while, he lost his appetite in an instant, so he pretended to be okay and continued to eat normally as usual.
And usually after that, he will stand up silently by himself, and then go to the kitchen to share the extra food, pasta or sugar water that he prepares every day, and sometimes even carefully put aside to keep warm. Dump.
While feeling a little disgusted in my heart for such a self who is completely self-indulgent, at the same time staring coldly at the sunlight in the window for a while, lost in thought.
Just when the whole person was a little nervous, Qin Gentian was thinking about whether he should find some time to go to the old tower alone at the foot of the mountain to talk about the follow-up after the night when the rooster man hurt someone, and if it didn't work, he had to go out and look for those little monsters in the forest While expressing the anger he had accumulated due to someone during the Chinese New Year, he was suddenly attracted by two sounds from upstairs.
"Boom-thump-"
Suddenly, there were two light bangs, as if something fell on top of his head without any seriousness.
Qin Gentian, who usually came back and lived alone in the poorer conditions downstairs, quickly recovered from his real appearance to the usual face in the eyes of Fan Village, and directly raised his gray eyes to look up.
But after that, he didn't hear any other voices.
It wasn't until he said in a cold and hoarse voice what are you doing sneaking up there, there was a moment of silence up there, and then there was a girl's voice who was clearly resentful towards him but was still holding back in her heart. rang.
"Nothing... I got up."
The girl's awkward attitude seemed to be arguing with him, but the two of them seem to have always gotten along like this, so even if Gentiana Qin is often away from home, it's not special for Yang Hua to be alone. Not used to it.
But speaking carefully, their father and daughter who are inexplicably different from other families have not seen each other for almost half a year.
Yang Hua seldom took the initiative to call him father in front of people, and he himself didn't seem to have very high demands on this adopted daughter in all aspects.
For many years, although they have been under the same roof in the name of father and daughter to outsiders, Qin Gentian, who doesn't care much at all in his bones, rarely gives her the care from his father like other families.
And when she was younger, she might still feel a little sad and angry about this kind of thing, but now the older she gets, the more Yang Hua can feel the man's lukewarm attitude towards everyone around her.
In addition, she actually knew that she was indeed one of the few existences he was patient enough to treat, so gradually, she began to be able to live together awkwardly and harmoniously with men like a strange pair of father and daughter.
"What do you want for breakfast?"
"...Whatever, I haven't eaten anything you made for a long time anyway..."
The conversation between the two seems to be the same as when they left home last time. The man is still indifferent, and the girl is also ignorant.
However, one problem that Yang Hua has always felt a little strange these days is that it seems that since returning home this time, her nominal adoptive father has been acting in a bad mood.
And I am very sure that it is definitely not because she was mischievous with Fan Abao in the mountains that night, silently squatting at the stairs and watching him come out of the room downstairs with many glowing shells and small beads hanging in front of the door, holding on Yang Hua, who quietly observed the expression on the man's face with her chin, pursed her lips and remained silent for a while, then blinked her eyes with a little tentativeness and said,
"You...Are you still not going out today as you did two days ago?"
"Why are you asking this?"
"I, I... I'm just asking casually. You cook so many dishes at home every day, and then throw them away. I thought there were actually some guests coming at home during the Chinese New Year..."
"no guest."
"Oh, I thought it was... There are guests, otherwise why do you do this every day."
"I'm happy."
"But, but you clearly look...not very happy at all..."
"What did you say? Say it again."
"Um... I didn't say anything... I didn't say anything..."
After all, the little girl who was a little afraid of him was frightened, and immediately hid her head and moved aside, squinted her eyes and stared at Gentiana Qin, and didn't say anything. Such a cold and scary sentence was lost.
"...Then hurry up and brush your teeth, don't be as sloppy as I am when I'm not at home, just eat breakfast without washing your face or brushing your teeth, and take down the things you need to wash later and wash them by the well water, you are not allowed in these two days Then go to Chicken Coop Rock with Fan Abao's group of bad-witted children, and stay at home and don't go anywhere."
The conversation between the adoptive father and daughter who are so bad tempered is almost here. Yang Hua originally wanted to care about him, but his completely inexplicable and broken attitude made it a little bit impossible to proceed.
But I really can't figure out why Granny Fan Xi would say that this narrow-minded, bad-tempered, and bad guy in every aspect is a good man worth marrying. Reluctantly replied with the word 'um'.
After watching him leave, he walked to the well with his head down, bent down and scooped up some cold water in the washbasin. The little girl, who looked normal at first, turned all over because of the contact between her cheeks and the water. Ji Ling, a pair of transparent gills and a few scales grew out behind the ears.
【Little Yanghua~Little Yanghua~ Good morning~】
The swaying well water in the washbasin seemed to be making a strange sound, and after a slight ripple, the ripples and singing gradually subsided.
Seeing this, Yang Hua, who was completely used to it, ignored the well water who would only repeat one sentence every day, frowned and endured the fishy smell from her hands, and shook her silver-white pair. Yes, the gills of the fish hardly have any sense of substance under the light, sitting on the small bench in front of the door and listening to the movement from the kitchen behind him, while staring at the entrance of the village with a mouthful of toothpaste foam in his mouth. There was a daze on the wall not far away.
"Big villain...every day when you're unhappy, you take it out on me...it's so annoying...peh pee..."
Muttering so much in her mouth, the little girl seemed unable to get rid of the anger in her heart no matter what, and at the end of her sight, there was a dilapidated gray-white broken wall between a small wooden building and their hut. .
The other side of the wall is Fan Abao's home. Since the two of them got into trouble together in the mountains three nights ago and were arrested by their family members, she hasn't seen Fan Abao, a timid guy, a few times. .
But timidity and fear of getting into trouble are one of the traits of a scorpion, and Yang Hua can't blame him.
And in the few times they met, Fan Abao also acted sneaky, and every time he opened his mouth, he would have a sad face, or else he would say a very fixed sentence.
"Yang Hua, please save me! My grandma wants to break my legs with a stick every day. I have to go home immediately after I tell you this! Yang Hua, find a way to save me!" me!!"
These words sounded extremely miserable, although according to her personal understanding of the villagers of Fan Village, with Fan Xi's hard-spoken and soft-hearted temper, she would definitely not be willing to do anything to her precious grandson in the end.
But Yang Hua still knew very clearly that during this period of time, she should indeed have a day when she couldn't go out to play with Fan Abao and the others.
It's not just because she got into trouble with Fan Abao, but also because the person in the kitchen who she hadn't seen for almost half a year and who was very strict with her in a certain way finally came home.
And when she thought of the way she and Fan Abao were scolded by a group of worried young and old from Fan Village that night, Yang Hua pouted her mouth in a particularly depressed mood.
"...Don't go to Chicken Coop Rock with Fan Abao's group of bad-witted children these two days, and stay at home for me, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."
Recalling the conversation just now, the little girl who was sitting listlessly by the door at the moment was also a little discouraged. After all, whoever was locked at home for a whole winter and could not go anywhere would be a little depressed.
And at this moment when she was distracted, somehow she remembered the conversation Fan Abao had when he came to see him at one o'clock yesterday evening.
The reason for this conversation was that Fan Abao was summoned by his grandmother to deliver rice cakes. Since the two children who grew up together met each other, they must have a private conversation.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Fan Abao's chatterbox immediately opened up, and he pulled and bit his ears at the door of her house with an excited face.
"...Yang Hua, let me tell you a secret, please don't tell anyone else!"
"What's the secret, and you're making such a fuss..."
"I didn't make a fuss! Just... recently, a living person from a big city outside came to my house..."
"A living person? Oh—is it the person who was chased by the old child and fell into the Dragon King River that night? He still lives in your house?"
"Yes, yes, that big brother from a big city outside. His surname is Jin, and he is a very nice person. It's just that he can't go out because of a broken leg these days, otherwise he will definitely come to your house as a guest... He Now I live in the old house before my grandfather died...Let me tell you...I really admire him now...He has surpassed the position of my grandfather in my heart...How can there be such a thing in the world? What a great person..."
"...Hey, what's so powerful, be careful that your grandpa comes to you at night... But if he is really that powerful, he won't be pushed into the river by the old boy, broke his leg, and almost drowned, okay... ..."
"You, don't say that... Everyone will have their own unlucky times... And you haven't seen the big brother himself... How do you know that he is not good..."
It's only been two or three days since we saw each other, and Fan Abao, whom her adoptive father said was obviously not very good at thinking, started to fight back with serious words. Yang Hua looked obviously a little unbelievable, she only curled her lips and asked loudly,
"Oh, really? Then you tell me, what is so good about this strange person who doesn't know where he came from?"
"His eyes and hair are all white! It glows in the sun like snowflakes, which is very magical! And he also knows a lot of words and has read many, many, many books. With just a word, he can be with you." You told so many miraculous stories, you even know why I am a scorpion and why the people in our village are named Fan!"
"..."
"He can also draw, he can also write, and his handwriting is very, very beautiful. He also knows how to help my grandma repair the roof. Using his method to repair it is really good. I asked him why I know, he said that he learned it by hiding at home because no one played with him when he was a child, and he also said that there was a book called "Heavenly Craftsmanship" in ancient times, which was very magical... oh, that's right , He also said that if I don’t often come out to see you in the future, you can help us bury a ① listening urn between the two walls, and pull a ② voice-transmitting ghost that can talk to us two!”
"...What is a 'listening urn'? What is a 'speaking ghost'?"
"I heard that the telephone was invented by people in ancient times haha! Big brother is helping me make it on the beam at home! If it succeeds, all of us will be able to talk to each other from a long, long distance. Lying at home, sitting at the door, as long as we hold the voice ghost in our hands, we can talk to each other... I'll be the first to tell you when the time comes, okay?"
Fan Abao was obviously taken aback by what he said, and he didn't know if it was true, but Yang Hua could still feel the detail that the living person who was currently living in Fan Xi's home recuperating and Fan Xi's family seemed to get along well from the lines. .
But, but she has seen living people too, who is like that in the kitchen, who sells things in the market at the foot of the mountain, but it seems that she has never seen such a living person.
For a long time, holding her chin, she couldn't figure out where this strange man came from. The little girl still looked at the water basin in front of her with complicated emotions, and sat at the door of her house and bumped her head against the door frame, showing a little dissatisfaction She quietly whispered to her favorite portrait of the Chishui Dragon King on the door,
"Where in this world is there such a powerful person as Abao said...I don't believe it...Dragon God, are you right...Obviously you are the most powerful person in the world, Fan Abao, a traitor, sooner or later I will I want him to look good..."
Having said that, Yang Hua's expression was a bit dismissive, as if she could really hear the majestic and handsome portrait of the dragon god in front of her when she said this.
After all, the Dragon God is Yang Hua's favorite and most respected god, because when she was very young, she heard from Grandma Fan Xi that the Dragon God is gentle and powerful, willing to help and care for all living beings, and because she was born as a fish.
Yu was born to live in the water of the Dong family and be blessed by the dragon god, so Yang Hua actually likes water very much in her heart. Unfortunately, she has never really been in the water, let alone saw it with her own eyes. The most powerful dragon god in her mind.
Regarding this point, the eccentric guy in the kitchen said that because of her current state, she would only turn into a dead fish if she went into the water casually.
And Yang Hua, who was angry and unable to refute in her heart, could only hide her love for water and the dragon god in her heart for many years, and only waited for her to become a fish that returned to the water one day.
So... what kind of fish am I?carp?herring?Or grass carp?What fish in this world is as transparent as mine?
This kind of question seems to linger in Yang Hua's heart for a long time, but she has never been able to figure it out for so many years, and when she was looking boredly at the wall in front of her and Fan Abao's house, Xiao But the girl thought of what Fan Abao had said to him for no reason.
[...And he also knows a lot of words, and has read many, many, many books. With a random word, he can tell you many, many amazing stories, including why I am a gnat, why the people in our village He knows the surname Fan!Do you think he is powerful...]
Eh...know everything?
How about I secretly go to this person and ask?
This sudden thought was like a strange light, instantly brightening Yang Hua's dim eyes.
But in an instant, he stood up with some unconcealable excitement, and quietly looked in the direction behind him. After a while, the girl who rolled her eyes idly ran over to the wall on her feet.
……
There is a dry well and the other end of the wall.
At seven o'clock in the morning, at the entrance of the small building of Fan Xi's house, Jin Suoyang, who got up early and insisted on doing a set of hand and waist exercises in front of the house, was slowly wiping the sweat on his head with the back of his hand, and Using crutches as a support, he half squatted on the ground and adjusted the earthen jar half buried in the soil under the wall.
As far as the eye can see, there are a few small circular holes being poked beside the earthen pot that he sealed with beeswax, and the place where the holes extend is connected by hemp rope and some old bamboo tubes. And on the densely written notebook spread out on the side, there is such an ancient and mysterious text written on one of the pages.
[Sound transmission ghost: The Ming people raised the earth dragon hibernating in the soil in an earthen jar called 'Ting urn', and taught it human language. The earth dragon has no throat or mouth, but it is good at imitating human voices, and it is hidden in the earth all year round. The underground is connected with perforated bamboo tubes and hemp ropes, and the sound can be transmitted from two places through the mouth of the earth dragon, so the Ming Dynasty often called it the sound transmission ghost. ——"Qing Barnyard Banknotes"]
This is a text excerpted by Jin Suoyang himself from an ancient book at home.
Because he has been staying at Fan Xi's home to recover from his injuries these days, and his mobile phone and other communication devices that can be used to contact others are completely damaged, so it is temporarily impossible to judge what time he is currently in and where the Chen family is looking for him. After thinking about it, Suoyang came up with such a strange way.
It is said that this method was first spread in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of the Mohist eavesdropping technique. Jin Suoyang himself had only seen it in books before, and he was not sure whether it was possible to practice it in reality, so he held the attitude of a dead horse as a living horse doctor He tried a few times, and after a few days, although he hadn't been completely successful for the time being, until last night, he finally managed to get the prototype of the sound-transmitting ghost and the listening urn out.
And because during this process, he was more often in contact with Fan Xi's grandson, A Bao, so while he had nothing to do to find a solution to his current predicament, Jin, who had never been very good at dealing with children, was surprised. It's not bad to get along with the child who is especially curious.
But I don't know if there is some intermediate link missing. He has been tossing here early in the morning, but the progress is still a little slow.
And thinking to himself, he still has to ask Abao to help him take one of the voice-transmitting ghosts to a place farther away from here to try it out later. Jin Suoyang, who temporarily put down these tasks at hand, thought for a while, and decided to wrinkle Frowning and leaning on crutches, he walked back to the well, and then sat down slowly.
The place where the line of sight fell was completely quiet, and even the birds had already migrated to the warmer south early, only the snow-white mountains covered with frost in the distance came into the eyes of the white-haired young man.
He has a bowl of water and some boiled beans by his hand at the moment, which he requested from Fan Xi according to his usual living habits at home and the recovery of the wound. In addition, his three meals a day They are basically the same as the rest of the gnats and horses living here.
And at this moment, while eating those hard-to-chew beans, he couldn't help but look down at the only thing that could keep him safe, Huwei, and the notebook that he had always carried with him since he was a child. On the white paper, the boy Fan Abao drew 'grandma', 'big brother with lame white hair' and 'me' stroke by stroke. Jin Suoyang, who hasn't felt the beauty and warmth of this kind of group life for a long time, still He flexed his wrist thoughtfully.
Speaking of which, the people in Fan Village and the people in the outside world really give him a different feeling, although to Jin Suoyang, they are just strangers who have only been together for a few days, and it can even be said that their appearance and Living habits are not even considered as living beings, but he still felt from the bottom of his heart the kindness from the bottom of his heart that Fan Xi's family had towards him.
And when it comes to getting along with people he is not familiar with at all, it is obviously difficult for Jin Suoyang, who has never liked too much contact with strangers before.
After all, before this, as Young Master Jin, whose identity was completely different from ordinary people, he was almost indifferent to everyone around him, let alone trying to get close to and understand a group of people he was not familiar with. people and things.
But maybe everything in this Fan Village, which is far away from the outside world, is too in line with his own imagination of the fictional Taoyuan world in ancient legends for a long time.
So even though he was a little unaccustomed to the appearance of the gnats and horses at the beginning, after these three days of simple getting along, Jin Suoyang, who is very old-fashioned in speaking and doing things, is still a little clumsy, and he also understands their many living habits seriously. And accept them from the bottom of my heart.
Among them, Fan Xi's grandson Fan Abao showed a particularly strong enthusiasm for Jin Suoyang himself, so that Jin Suoyang, who has never been very good at dealing with children of this age, had to be patient and accompany this naughty boy. For the hyperactive child, give him some corresponding answers according to the strange questions he raised, or tell some strange stories he is more interested in to satisfy his curiosity.
"Ah... big brother, that's why all the gnats and horses in our village are named Fan... It's amazing, I never knew why we worshiped the ancestors of the Fan family... and why we had to be named Fan ..."
"Well, Fan is a surname with Yi as the surname. Yi, which is what we call the ancient vassal state now, takes Yi as the surname, and takes the country as the surname, so in most cases, the Fan family is also counted as the surname. Among the national surnames, this surname was brought by a scholar-official named Suihui, and this official had another famous name before being given the surname by his monarch, that is, the Six Ministers of the State of Jin, so To some extent, Jin and Fan are also related."
"Hey, doesn't that mean that we are actually family members? Haha, no wonder you fell into our Fan Village after such a long distance. It must be the gods of Fan Village and the Jin family who are protecting you in the dark. This is how you escaped from the cock man without incident..."
"..."
"But big brother, what about your family? Why hasn't your family come to look for you after you've been lost in the mountains for so many days?"
What the child said unintentionally made Jin Suoyang a little concerned about what he was sitting on the side at that time, but to him, family was the last word he wanted to mention in his life.
And at this moment, he had to adjust his breathing disorder after exercising so reluctantly. After a long time, the young man who was in a good mood just now, but suddenly a little unhappy at this moment, looked at his legs wrapped tightly with solid wooden boards in a complicated way. Looking at the hideous and ugly rooster face printed in the well water, he lost his mind for a while with a rather bad expression.
family?Will there be anyone who wants to treat him like this as family?
After all, even the normal him in the past was an unlovable existence in everything from temper to hobbies, not to mention the current troublesome situation.
He originally had nothing, and now he is completely desperate. From the moment he woke up three days ago, he never expected anyone to save him, let alone his so-called family members.
But after three days, his face still hasn't found a way to even temporarily lift the curse of the human-faced bird.
The sharp beak and eye flare-ups, which were similar to human-faced birds, were obviously getting worse. Almost every night after twelve o'clock, Jin Suoyang woke up from the excruciating pain that bit his flesh.
But knowing that Fan Xi's family was sleeping next to him, with cold sweat on his forehead, and desperately biting his teeth, he never took the initiative to call for help, or even wake them up.
After all, he knows very well that although Fan Xi survived and took him in kindly before, for Jin Suoyang, who is used to solving problems by himself, such help from strangers is not a long-term solution. He has to find a way to solve it by himself His trouble.
However, during this process, what made him more concerned was that, apart from the nightmare that the rooster man would kill him, he had been in another dream that was a bit strange, but he vaguely remembered the dream he had in Dongshan County.
The same bridge, the same river, and the man whose face he couldn't see clearly.
It's just that the distance between the two seems to be getting closer to him this time.
And every time I wake up, I think about it in confusion, and then I almost forget about such things.
With such a strange face that would frighten children when he went out during the day, Jin Suoyang had no choice but to stay at Fan Xi's house temporarily, and even brought his original plan to visit the village in person. Others also came to the door to solemnly thank the 'Mr. Qin' family who helped him, all of which were forced to postpone.
Gentiana.
When he heard this strange name from Fan Xi that day, Jin Suoyang was obviously in a different mood. After all, in such a semi-closed environment, he was also a a blessing.
However, judging from the current situation, this "old man" who has lived in Fancun for more than 20 years and has been living alone with his children for so many years is obviously not very willing to be disturbed by others.
So think carefully
After what happened on the chicken cage rock that night, it has been another three days in a blink of an eye.
Outside Fan Village, where the sky is not yet fully bright, a few "old children" with red eyes, grinning yellow teeth, and hungry saliva are squatting on the branches of the wild forest covered with hoarfrost.
In the severe cold environment of more than ten degrees below zero, the group of dwarf monsters who haven't run very far have obviously been wandering around here hungry for several days, but they never found a chance to ambush in the middle of the night.
This made these 'old children' who were completely hungry feel a little annoyed, they could only grab the trunk next to them and climb up to the top of the tree to vent and shake vigorously, making the snow under the tree always have lumps of accumulation Snow falls.
And the reason why these white-haired man-eating gnomes didn't dare to approach the village according to the previous order of the chicken man, they only dared to wander around here in such a despondent manner.
The biggest problem here is not that they dare not break in and directly confront those timid stinky ants.
What's more, the top of the seemingly ordinary ant village is exuding a powerful dragon aura that makes them creepy at the moment, so that they are so far away that they squatted in the snow and screamed in fright. Old children can clearly see a group of dragon-shaped auspicious clouds entrenched above a certain house in this village in the distance, issuing terrifying and majestic warnings to them high above.
"Go back and tell Gong Jilang that I will save the life of that man named Jin Suoyang before the New Year's Eve. If you dare to take a step closer to Fan Village in the future, I will break your legs alive and take out your intestines. The fish and shrimps in my river are used for the New Year’s Eve dinner, do you understand?”
The arrogant voice that warned them when they stood alone in the cold forest three days ago still lingers in the hearts of the terrified old children, which makes them dare not go there these days no matter how hungry they are. Half a step closer to Fan Village.
But whenever they were about to retreat collectively, they became timid again when they saw the red moon above their heads that resembled the eyes of a rooster.
"Dragon King... Hehe... Dragon King... Over there... Hehe... Can't catch... Can't catch... Rooster... Rooster... Eat us..."
Whispering to each other and whispering to each other like this, the 'old children' squatting on the snow and shivering are obviously because they have suffered from a certain angry Dragon Lord a few nights ago.
But the rooster behind them, who has temporarily disappeared for the past few days, is absolutely impossible to give up so well, so this also makes them a little inhuman, so they can only continue to wander here eagerly every day with such courage.
Just waiting for the last few days of the Chinese New Year, when they find a way to catch the "last rooster" who is currently hiding in the village and escape, and then they jump directly over the meddling Dragon King and jump on it together. ... Swallow the prey viciously before handing over to that rooster man.
"The rooster...catch the rooster...hehe...can't escape...hehe...peel the skin...kill them all..."
Most of the villagers in Fan Village, who are still immersed in the New Year's atmosphere and sleepy in the morning, certainly don't know what those 'old kids' outside are completely waiting for.
At a glance, there are paper-cuts with national characteristics, paintings of ancestor gods and statues of ferocious and majestic dragons posted in front of the huts in front of the village.
Almost every year during the Spring Festival, the village will get it from the village government below. After taking it back and pasting it on the window with the paste cooked in a large pot, the atmosphere of the year in the house will instantly become strong.
On the other side, at seven o'clock in the morning, on the small wooden building of Yang Hua's family that Fan Xi talked about, a thin layer of shining white ice flowers was forming under the eaves.
In the small room with no lights on, the dragon's energy was about to collapse that night in order to save people, so Qin Gentiana, who had hardly gone anywhere in the past three days, was leaning against the corner of the wall motionless and staring at his scaly body. Look at the silver bracelet on your hand.
As far as he could see, the silver ornaments with patterns on the surface showed a rough light under the early morning sun, just like the engraved metal ring under his tongue, which he would lick from time to time until now, exuding an enchanting feeling. His whole body has an extremely relaxed temperature.
The only difference is that the metal ring with the name engraved on it was a souvenir he had left for someone, and this silver bracelet was given to him after he came to Dongshan by following the clues left by Jiaohualong and Yinsi. one thing.
"...The pattern on this silver bracelet is called "Longhuitou" in our local area. It means the reunion of husband and wife who have been separated for a long time. The meaning of family reunion is very good. The dragon will bless all sincere people in the sky. With it on your body, you can find the person you want to find in your heart, and it can also protect the safety of your family."
When he came to the foot of Dongshan Mountain alone that year, this was the first time he heard it from the mouth of an old silversmith at the foot of the mountain.
Later, he bought the dragon back and wore it on himself all the time, even though he himself didn't quite believe that it would actually be useful.
And at this moment, he unconsciously stretched out his frozen red fingers to touch it, and closed his eyes morbidly and contentedly the moment he came into contact with this luminous thing.
After a long time, Qin Gentiana, who was in a very bad state of mind, leaned against the wall behind him and looked at the top of his head in a sluggish way, then squinted his gray eyes and muttered sleepily to himself.
"It's so cold."
Looking up and talking to himself like this, holding the metal ring with the engraved name under his tongue and licking the underside of his lips and teeth, Gentiana Qin actually doesn't know what he is unhappy about, or who he wants to treat vaguely express something.
But when the words came to his lips, he still used his hands to cover his eyes that were so dry and uncomfortable from the stimulation of the light, as if they were about to go blind in the next second, and gently rushed at himself with a voice that was so weak that it was almost inaudible. complained,
"Jin Heng, why didn't you close the window, I'm so cold."
"..."
The small building was empty, and no one could answer him. The adopted daughter Yang Hua he adopted many years ago should still be sleeping upstairs at the moment, so the surrounding area is extremely quiet at the moment.
And obviously he was very uncomfortable, but he still sat here and spent the whole night completely on his own.
At this moment, while dreaming aimlessly, Qin Geng, who was so bored that he could only talk to himself, still really felt that after many years, he still didn't make any progress at all, and even abandoned his principles and dignity more and more. Someone's inseparable and longing.
[After tonight, I will temporarily send him to Fan Xi's home to recuperate. Before the New Year's Eve, Fan Village should have no problems with me. He won't know that I and the person who rescued him underwater Tiaolong is alone, until his injury is completely healed, I will keep a certain distance from him. 】
That was what he himself said to Laota that night.
Qin Gentiana doesn't think there is any problem in retrospect. After all, the rooster man who hides his head and shows his tail, leaving only a bunch of old children around the village is still missing. He always wants to save his life for someone For the sake of safety.
But knowing it was one thing in his heart, he still felt an inexplicable irritability like never before...even a sense of loss that he had never felt before.
Because judging from the current situation, the guy who had been awakened by Fan Xi's mouth really didn't have the slightest intention to meet him, a stranger, even if he just asked someone to pass on a word of thanks.
"Has any stranger come to the house these days?"
"Ah? No..."
When he took the initiative to bring up this topic three days ago, his adopted daughter Yang Hua gave the same answer every time, and the expressionless Qin Gentian stopped talking after asking.
After a while, he lost his appetite in an instant, so he pretended to be okay and continued to eat normally as usual.
And usually after that, he will stand up silently by himself, and then go to the kitchen to share the extra food, pasta or sugar water that he prepares every day, and sometimes even carefully put aside to keep warm. Dump.
While feeling a little disgusted in my heart for such a self who is completely self-indulgent, at the same time staring coldly at the sunlight in the window for a while, lost in thought.
Just when the whole person was a little nervous, Qin Gentian was thinking about whether he should find some time to go to the old tower alone at the foot of the mountain to talk about the follow-up after the night when the rooster man hurt someone, and if it didn't work, he had to go out and look for those little monsters in the forest While expressing the anger he had accumulated due to someone during the Chinese New Year, he was suddenly attracted by two sounds from upstairs.
"Boom-thump-"
Suddenly, there were two light bangs, as if something fell on top of his head without any seriousness.
Qin Gentian, who usually came back and lived alone in the poorer conditions downstairs, quickly recovered from his real appearance to the usual face in the eyes of Fan Village, and directly raised his gray eyes to look up.
But after that, he didn't hear any other voices.
It wasn't until he said in a cold and hoarse voice what are you doing sneaking up there, there was a moment of silence up there, and then there was a girl's voice who was clearly resentful towards him but was still holding back in her heart. rang.
"Nothing... I got up."
The girl's awkward attitude seemed to be arguing with him, but the two of them seem to have always gotten along like this, so even if Gentiana Qin is often away from home, it's not special for Yang Hua to be alone. Not used to it.
But speaking carefully, their father and daughter who are inexplicably different from other families have not seen each other for almost half a year.
Yang Hua seldom took the initiative to call him father in front of people, and he himself didn't seem to have very high demands on this adopted daughter in all aspects.
For many years, although they have been under the same roof in the name of father and daughter to outsiders, Qin Gentian, who doesn't care much at all in his bones, rarely gives her the care from his father like other families.
And when she was younger, she might still feel a little sad and angry about this kind of thing, but now the older she gets, the more Yang Hua can feel the man's lukewarm attitude towards everyone around her.
In addition, she actually knew that she was indeed one of the few existences he was patient enough to treat, so gradually, she began to be able to live together awkwardly and harmoniously with men like a strange pair of father and daughter.
"What do you want for breakfast?"
"...Whatever, I haven't eaten anything you made for a long time anyway..."
The conversation between the two seems to be the same as when they left home last time. The man is still indifferent, and the girl is also ignorant.
However, one problem that Yang Hua has always felt a little strange these days is that it seems that since returning home this time, her nominal adoptive father has been acting in a bad mood.
And I am very sure that it is definitely not because she was mischievous with Fan Abao in the mountains that night, silently squatting at the stairs and watching him come out of the room downstairs with many glowing shells and small beads hanging in front of the door, holding on Yang Hua, who quietly observed the expression on the man's face with her chin, pursed her lips and remained silent for a while, then blinked her eyes with a little tentativeness and said,
"You...Are you still not going out today as you did two days ago?"
"Why are you asking this?"
"I, I... I'm just asking casually. You cook so many dishes at home every day, and then throw them away. I thought there were actually some guests coming at home during the Chinese New Year..."
"no guest."
"Oh, I thought it was... There are guests, otherwise why do you do this every day."
"I'm happy."
"But, but you clearly look...not very happy at all..."
"What did you say? Say it again."
"Um... I didn't say anything... I didn't say anything..."
After all, the little girl who was a little afraid of him was frightened, and immediately hid her head and moved aside, squinted her eyes and stared at Gentiana Qin, and didn't say anything. Such a cold and scary sentence was lost.
"...Then hurry up and brush your teeth, don't be as sloppy as I am when I'm not at home, just eat breakfast without washing your face or brushing your teeth, and take down the things you need to wash later and wash them by the well water, you are not allowed in these two days Then go to Chicken Coop Rock with Fan Abao's group of bad-witted children, and stay at home and don't go anywhere."
The conversation between the adoptive father and daughter who are so bad tempered is almost here. Yang Hua originally wanted to care about him, but his completely inexplicable and broken attitude made it a little bit impossible to proceed.
But I really can't figure out why Granny Fan Xi would say that this narrow-minded, bad-tempered, and bad guy in every aspect is a good man worth marrying. Reluctantly replied with the word 'um'.
After watching him leave, he walked to the well with his head down, bent down and scooped up some cold water in the washbasin. The little girl, who looked normal at first, turned all over because of the contact between her cheeks and the water. Ji Ling, a pair of transparent gills and a few scales grew out behind the ears.
【Little Yanghua~Little Yanghua~ Good morning~】
The swaying well water in the washbasin seemed to be making a strange sound, and after a slight ripple, the ripples and singing gradually subsided.
Seeing this, Yang Hua, who was completely used to it, ignored the well water who would only repeat one sentence every day, frowned and endured the fishy smell from her hands, and shook her silver-white pair. Yes, the gills of the fish hardly have any sense of substance under the light, sitting on the small bench in front of the door and listening to the movement from the kitchen behind him, while staring at the entrance of the village with a mouthful of toothpaste foam in his mouth. There was a daze on the wall not far away.
"Big villain...every day when you're unhappy, you take it out on me...it's so annoying...peh pee..."
Muttering so much in her mouth, the little girl seemed unable to get rid of the anger in her heart no matter what, and at the end of her sight, there was a dilapidated gray-white broken wall between a small wooden building and their hut. .
The other side of the wall is Fan Abao's home. Since the two of them got into trouble together in the mountains three nights ago and were arrested by their family members, she hasn't seen Fan Abao, a timid guy, a few times. .
But timidity and fear of getting into trouble are one of the traits of a scorpion, and Yang Hua can't blame him.
And in the few times they met, Fan Abao also acted sneaky, and every time he opened his mouth, he would have a sad face, or else he would say a very fixed sentence.
"Yang Hua, please save me! My grandma wants to break my legs with a stick every day. I have to go home immediately after I tell you this! Yang Hua, find a way to save me!" me!!"
These words sounded extremely miserable, although according to her personal understanding of the villagers of Fan Village, with Fan Xi's hard-spoken and soft-hearted temper, she would definitely not be willing to do anything to her precious grandson in the end.
But Yang Hua still knew very clearly that during this period of time, she should indeed have a day when she couldn't go out to play with Fan Abao and the others.
It's not just because she got into trouble with Fan Abao, but also because the person in the kitchen who she hadn't seen for almost half a year and who was very strict with her in a certain way finally came home.
And when she thought of the way she and Fan Abao were scolded by a group of worried young and old from Fan Village that night, Yang Hua pouted her mouth in a particularly depressed mood.
"...Don't go to Chicken Coop Rock with Fan Abao's group of bad-witted children these two days, and stay at home for me, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."
Recalling the conversation just now, the little girl who was sitting listlessly by the door at the moment was also a little discouraged. After all, whoever was locked at home for a whole winter and could not go anywhere would be a little depressed.
And at this moment when she was distracted, somehow she remembered the conversation Fan Abao had when he came to see him at one o'clock yesterday evening.
The reason for this conversation was that Fan Abao was summoned by his grandmother to deliver rice cakes. Since the two children who grew up together met each other, they must have a private conversation.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Fan Abao's chatterbox immediately opened up, and he pulled and bit his ears at the door of her house with an excited face.
"...Yang Hua, let me tell you a secret, please don't tell anyone else!"
"What's the secret, and you're making such a fuss..."
"I didn't make a fuss! Just... recently, a living person from a big city outside came to my house..."
"A living person? Oh—is it the person who was chased by the old child and fell into the Dragon King River that night? He still lives in your house?"
"Yes, yes, that big brother from a big city outside. His surname is Jin, and he is a very nice person. It's just that he can't go out because of a broken leg these days, otherwise he will definitely come to your house as a guest... He Now I live in the old house before my grandfather died...Let me tell you...I really admire him now...He has surpassed the position of my grandfather in my heart...How can there be such a thing in the world? What a great person..."
"...Hey, what's so powerful, be careful that your grandpa comes to you at night... But if he is really that powerful, he won't be pushed into the river by the old boy, broke his leg, and almost drowned, okay... ..."
"You, don't say that... Everyone will have their own unlucky times... And you haven't seen the big brother himself... How do you know that he is not good..."
It's only been two or three days since we saw each other, and Fan Abao, whom her adoptive father said was obviously not very good at thinking, started to fight back with serious words. Yang Hua looked obviously a little unbelievable, she only curled her lips and asked loudly,
"Oh, really? Then you tell me, what is so good about this strange person who doesn't know where he came from?"
"His eyes and hair are all white! It glows in the sun like snowflakes, which is very magical! And he also knows a lot of words and has read many, many, many books. With just a word, he can be with you." You told so many miraculous stories, you even know why I am a scorpion and why the people in our village are named Fan!"
"..."
"He can also draw, he can also write, and his handwriting is very, very beautiful. He also knows how to help my grandma repair the roof. Using his method to repair it is really good. I asked him why I know, he said that he learned it by hiding at home because no one played with him when he was a child, and he also said that there was a book called "Heavenly Craftsmanship" in ancient times, which was very magical... oh, that's right , He also said that if I don’t often come out to see you in the future, you can help us bury a ① listening urn between the two walls, and pull a ② voice-transmitting ghost that can talk to us two!”
"...What is a 'listening urn'? What is a 'speaking ghost'?"
"I heard that the telephone was invented by people in ancient times haha! Big brother is helping me make it on the beam at home! If it succeeds, all of us will be able to talk to each other from a long, long distance. Lying at home, sitting at the door, as long as we hold the voice ghost in our hands, we can talk to each other... I'll be the first to tell you when the time comes, okay?"
Fan Abao was obviously taken aback by what he said, and he didn't know if it was true, but Yang Hua could still feel the detail that the living person who was currently living in Fan Xi's home recuperating and Fan Xi's family seemed to get along well from the lines. .
But, but she has seen living people too, who is like that in the kitchen, who sells things in the market at the foot of the mountain, but it seems that she has never seen such a living person.
For a long time, holding her chin, she couldn't figure out where this strange man came from. The little girl still looked at the water basin in front of her with complicated emotions, and sat at the door of her house and bumped her head against the door frame, showing a little dissatisfaction She quietly whispered to her favorite portrait of the Chishui Dragon King on the door,
"Where in this world is there such a powerful person as Abao said...I don't believe it...Dragon God, are you right...Obviously you are the most powerful person in the world, Fan Abao, a traitor, sooner or later I will I want him to look good..."
Having said that, Yang Hua's expression was a bit dismissive, as if she could really hear the majestic and handsome portrait of the dragon god in front of her when she said this.
After all, the Dragon God is Yang Hua's favorite and most respected god, because when she was very young, she heard from Grandma Fan Xi that the Dragon God is gentle and powerful, willing to help and care for all living beings, and because she was born as a fish.
Yu was born to live in the water of the Dong family and be blessed by the dragon god, so Yang Hua actually likes water very much in her heart. Unfortunately, she has never really been in the water, let alone saw it with her own eyes. The most powerful dragon god in her mind.
Regarding this point, the eccentric guy in the kitchen said that because of her current state, she would only turn into a dead fish if she went into the water casually.
And Yang Hua, who was angry and unable to refute in her heart, could only hide her love for water and the dragon god in her heart for many years, and only waited for her to become a fish that returned to the water one day.
So... what kind of fish am I?carp?herring?Or grass carp?What fish in this world is as transparent as mine?
This kind of question seems to linger in Yang Hua's heart for a long time, but she has never been able to figure it out for so many years, and when she was looking boredly at the wall in front of her and Fan Abao's house, Xiao But the girl thought of what Fan Abao had said to him for no reason.
[...And he also knows a lot of words, and has read many, many, many books. With a random word, he can tell you many, many amazing stories, including why I am a gnat, why the people in our village He knows the surname Fan!Do you think he is powerful...]
Eh...know everything?
How about I secretly go to this person and ask?
This sudden thought was like a strange light, instantly brightening Yang Hua's dim eyes.
But in an instant, he stood up with some unconcealable excitement, and quietly looked in the direction behind him. After a while, the girl who rolled her eyes idly ran over to the wall on her feet.
……
There is a dry well and the other end of the wall.
At seven o'clock in the morning, at the entrance of the small building of Fan Xi's house, Jin Suoyang, who got up early and insisted on doing a set of hand and waist exercises in front of the house, was slowly wiping the sweat on his head with the back of his hand, and Using crutches as a support, he half squatted on the ground and adjusted the earthen jar half buried in the soil under the wall.
As far as the eye can see, there are a few small circular holes being poked beside the earthen pot that he sealed with beeswax, and the place where the holes extend is connected by hemp rope and some old bamboo tubes. And on the densely written notebook spread out on the side, there is such an ancient and mysterious text written on one of the pages.
[Sound transmission ghost: The Ming people raised the earth dragon hibernating in the soil in an earthen jar called 'Ting urn', and taught it human language. The earth dragon has no throat or mouth, but it is good at imitating human voices, and it is hidden in the earth all year round. The underground is connected with perforated bamboo tubes and hemp ropes, and the sound can be transmitted from two places through the mouth of the earth dragon, so the Ming Dynasty often called it the sound transmission ghost. ——"Qing Barnyard Banknotes"]
This is a text excerpted by Jin Suoyang himself from an ancient book at home.
Because he has been staying at Fan Xi's home to recover from his injuries these days, and his mobile phone and other communication devices that can be used to contact others are completely damaged, so it is temporarily impossible to judge what time he is currently in and where the Chen family is looking for him. After thinking about it, Suoyang came up with such a strange way.
It is said that this method was first spread in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of the Mohist eavesdropping technique. Jin Suoyang himself had only seen it in books before, and he was not sure whether it was possible to practice it in reality, so he held the attitude of a dead horse as a living horse doctor He tried a few times, and after a few days, although he hadn't been completely successful for the time being, until last night, he finally managed to get the prototype of the sound-transmitting ghost and the listening urn out.
And because during this process, he was more often in contact with Fan Xi's grandson, A Bao, so while he had nothing to do to find a solution to his current predicament, Jin, who had never been very good at dealing with children, was surprised. It's not bad to get along with the child who is especially curious.
But I don't know if there is some intermediate link missing. He has been tossing here early in the morning, but the progress is still a little slow.
And thinking to himself, he still has to ask Abao to help him take one of the voice-transmitting ghosts to a place farther away from here to try it out later. Jin Suoyang, who temporarily put down these tasks at hand, thought for a while, and decided to wrinkle Frowning and leaning on crutches, he walked back to the well, and then sat down slowly.
The place where the line of sight fell was completely quiet, and even the birds had already migrated to the warmer south early, only the snow-white mountains covered with frost in the distance came into the eyes of the white-haired young man.
He has a bowl of water and some boiled beans by his hand at the moment, which he requested from Fan Xi according to his usual living habits at home and the recovery of the wound. In addition, his three meals a day They are basically the same as the rest of the gnats and horses living here.
And at this moment, while eating those hard-to-chew beans, he couldn't help but look down at the only thing that could keep him safe, Huwei, and the notebook that he had always carried with him since he was a child. On the white paper, the boy Fan Abao drew 'grandma', 'big brother with lame white hair' and 'me' stroke by stroke. Jin Suoyang, who hasn't felt the beauty and warmth of this kind of group life for a long time, still He flexed his wrist thoughtfully.
Speaking of which, the people in Fan Village and the people in the outside world really give him a different feeling, although to Jin Suoyang, they are just strangers who have only been together for a few days, and it can even be said that their appearance and Living habits are not even considered as living beings, but he still felt from the bottom of his heart the kindness from the bottom of his heart that Fan Xi's family had towards him.
And when it comes to getting along with people he is not familiar with at all, it is obviously difficult for Jin Suoyang, who has never liked too much contact with strangers before.
After all, before this, as Young Master Jin, whose identity was completely different from ordinary people, he was almost indifferent to everyone around him, let alone trying to get close to and understand a group of people he was not familiar with. people and things.
But maybe everything in this Fan Village, which is far away from the outside world, is too in line with his own imagination of the fictional Taoyuan world in ancient legends for a long time.
So even though he was a little unaccustomed to the appearance of the gnats and horses at the beginning, after these three days of simple getting along, Jin Suoyang, who is very old-fashioned in speaking and doing things, is still a little clumsy, and he also understands their many living habits seriously. And accept them from the bottom of my heart.
Among them, Fan Xi's grandson Fan Abao showed a particularly strong enthusiasm for Jin Suoyang himself, so that Jin Suoyang, who has never been very good at dealing with children of this age, had to be patient and accompany this naughty boy. For the hyperactive child, give him some corresponding answers according to the strange questions he raised, or tell some strange stories he is more interested in to satisfy his curiosity.
"Ah... big brother, that's why all the gnats and horses in our village are named Fan... It's amazing, I never knew why we worshiped the ancestors of the Fan family... and why we had to be named Fan ..."
"Well, Fan is a surname with Yi as the surname. Yi, which is what we call the ancient vassal state now, takes Yi as the surname, and takes the country as the surname, so in most cases, the Fan family is also counted as the surname. Among the national surnames, this surname was brought by a scholar-official named Suihui, and this official had another famous name before being given the surname by his monarch, that is, the Six Ministers of the State of Jin, so To some extent, Jin and Fan are also related."
"Hey, doesn't that mean that we are actually family members? Haha, no wonder you fell into our Fan Village after such a long distance. It must be the gods of Fan Village and the Jin family who are protecting you in the dark. This is how you escaped from the cock man without incident..."
"..."
"But big brother, what about your family? Why hasn't your family come to look for you after you've been lost in the mountains for so many days?"
What the child said unintentionally made Jin Suoyang a little concerned about what he was sitting on the side at that time, but to him, family was the last word he wanted to mention in his life.
And at this moment, he had to adjust his breathing disorder after exercising so reluctantly. After a long time, the young man who was in a good mood just now, but suddenly a little unhappy at this moment, looked at his legs wrapped tightly with solid wooden boards in a complicated way. Looking at the hideous and ugly rooster face printed in the well water, he lost his mind for a while with a rather bad expression.
family?Will there be anyone who wants to treat him like this as family?
After all, even the normal him in the past was an unlovable existence in everything from temper to hobbies, not to mention the current troublesome situation.
He originally had nothing, and now he is completely desperate. From the moment he woke up three days ago, he never expected anyone to save him, let alone his so-called family members.
But after three days, his face still hasn't found a way to even temporarily lift the curse of the human-faced bird.
The sharp beak and eye flare-ups, which were similar to human-faced birds, were obviously getting worse. Almost every night after twelve o'clock, Jin Suoyang woke up from the excruciating pain that bit his flesh.
But knowing that Fan Xi's family was sleeping next to him, with cold sweat on his forehead, and desperately biting his teeth, he never took the initiative to call for help, or even wake them up.
After all, he knows very well that although Fan Xi survived and took him in kindly before, for Jin Suoyang, who is used to solving problems by himself, such help from strangers is not a long-term solution. He has to find a way to solve it by himself His trouble.
However, during this process, what made him more concerned was that, apart from the nightmare that the rooster man would kill him, he had been in another dream that was a bit strange, but he vaguely remembered the dream he had in Dongshan County.
The same bridge, the same river, and the man whose face he couldn't see clearly.
It's just that the distance between the two seems to be getting closer to him this time.
And every time I wake up, I think about it in confusion, and then I almost forget about such things.
With such a strange face that would frighten children when he went out during the day, Jin Suoyang had no choice but to stay at Fan Xi's house temporarily, and even brought his original plan to visit the village in person. Others also came to the door to solemnly thank the 'Mr. Qin' family who helped him, all of which were forced to postpone.
Gentiana.
When he heard this strange name from Fan Xi that day, Jin Suoyang was obviously in a different mood. After all, in such a semi-closed environment, he was also a a blessing.
However, judging from the current situation, this "old man" who has lived in Fancun for more than 20 years and has been living alone with his children for so many years is obviously not very willing to be disturbed by others.
So think carefully
