Alternative cards

two months later.

The cold and strong wind in winter makes people's faces hurt. There are hardly many pedestrians on the street, especially after seven o'clock in the evening. There are only a few shops with lights on in the calm street, and the doors are closed. It seems that the street is deserted.

At the corner of the main street, there is a cheap but average-quality bakery, which can be said to be the busiest shop on the whole street. Many people who appear on the street will enter that shop and quickly buy what they need cheap bread.

Behind a strong man who came out of it, came out a thin young man in a blue overcoat. He also held the baguette and square bread he had just bought from the bakery, and the fingertips of his gloves Some parts have been broken in several places, which shows that his situation is not so good, it can be said that he is in a difficult situation.

However, there was no despair and sadness in his eyes.

After leaving the bakery, he walked to the nearest bus stop and stood at the air outlet to wait for the next bus. The later the time, the colder the day, he kept rubbing his hands and stamping his feet on the spot , the same movement as the one waiting for the bus around, there is not much difference.And in this way, it seems that he is not very special.

As a person who used to wear a coat when living in the south, he was really afraid of the cold.

After waiting for nearly 10 minutes, a yellow bus with not enough seats was parked next to the station. The driver stared at the crowd. It was almost impossible for any passenger who got on the bus not to pay the fare. But sharply, if he caught him, he would definitely cry. A middle-aged man had already been scolded.

Xu Luning, who was following behind the middle-aged man, put coins into the box, and the driver waved impatiently for him to find a seat quickly, and he had to rush home to drink the hot soup made by his wife and take a hot bath at home.

The current bus is obviously not a high-end vehicle. The windshield glass on both sides of the rear seat has been broken. The row is also about the same.

However, passengers who are used to it will not want to complain at all, the bus is just their daily means of transportation, just get used to it.

Xu Luning, who just came to this town, had difficulty adapting to such a climate, but as time went by, he could bear it and let it pass, and even more difficult days had passed. At this point, he no longer needed to worry about it. Much, at least there is hope in life.

Two months was enough for Xu Luning to adapt to the current life in the small town.

It is not difficult to explain why he who was "disappeared" appeared here.During the shopping mall riot that day, the blood in his body boiled, and he used his mental power to the extreme. He wanted to stop those terrible brutal elements all day long, but unexpectedly, when the brutal elements used expensive teleportation cards to escape, they also sucked him in. They went in and moved to another realm together, a realm that Xu Luning had never heard of.

The mental strength of the man who manipulated the teleportation card started to run low halfway, but he still managed to reach the border of Saivis. Xu Luning was involved incidentally. He had no protection measures when he landed, and he had no training on how to land after teleportation. It is not clear what preparations need to be made.

Fortunately, Xu Lu happened to fall in a grove near the farmer. There were a few children playing in the grove. Hearing the sound of impact, he bravely rushed to the place where the sound fell. The discovery saved Xu Luning's life.

Xu Luning woke up slowly after a week of comatose in the rudimentary health center in the red village.

When the village head of Hongcun heard that Xu Luning had woken up, he took the parents of the child who was the first to discover Xu Luning to the health center to visit him. After the area, he knew that he had crossed the country and left Xijing country.

How to go back has become a problem, because he does not have an ID card. To put it bluntly, he is a black household.

Xu Luning, who quickly thought of this relationship, used his thin body to tell the other party that he didn't know how he got here. He only remembered his name, but he didn't remember where his home was.There is only a fine line between deadpan and sluggish. As long as he is silent and does not speak, he is easily regarded as a weak person. If he keeps his head down, it is easy to achieve his goal. No matter how many questions he asks, he still shakes his head and answers that he does not know.

After discussing with the parent of the child who rescued him, that is, his grandfather, the village chief of Hongcun decided to let Xu Luning live in their house temporarily, but the prerequisite is to help with the work. There is no one to take care of her, and now adding Xu Luning can be regarded as making up.

After another two or three days of rest, Xu Luning helped Uncle Zeng's house with work.

The family's livelihood is to grow and sell vegetables, and they wake up early and work late every day, and the money they earn is only enough for their family to eat. Now that there is another Xu Luning, their family is even more struggling.Xu Luning didn't know it at first, but after living there for a week, Xu Luning realized that something was wrong when the food they ate was getting weaker and weaker. It turned out that the money they made from selling vegetables was so little.

Xu Luning, who deliberately didn't think about what happened that day, just settled down in Hongcun, and the village head of Hongcun also gave him a reasonable identity. With his ID card, he had even more reason to stay.He also stopped thinking about the game world, the card world, and the Novice Village Veteran Village, it was useless to say more.

This is a world where the weak prey on the strong. Although the country has rules and regulations stating that killing and setting fires is not allowed, it cannot stand the surprise attacks and appearance of those brutal elements.What didn't exist before, now exists, and there will definitely be in the future.

It's better to live his life peacefully in the village. He doesn't want to go to the non-human world, and it doesn't matter if he suffers at all.Xu Luning, who was frightened by the bloody scene, stopped thinking about his computer and his games. After this experience, he clearly realized that he used to be a person who lived in an ivory tower and was unwilling to contact the outside world. , and don't want to let the outside world in.

Now, a sharp bloody knife splits through what he thought was a peaceful, loving and carefree world, and makes him face a more cruel reality.There is no game, no strategy, no props, and what is there is only his life. Once he loses it, he will die, and he will not even have a life.

Sevis is a city, but the name of the city no longer exists. It is just a former name. This city is now called Soma City. It is an ancient city with its own tradition and simple folk customs. In Xu Luning's view, this place is closer to the modern city he once lived in.

Red Village is just a small village in a town in Soma City. Xu Luning just started thinking about whether it would be possible to find a telephone in the town to contact Wan Qicheng, but he didn't remember Wan Qicheng's communication information after thinking for a long time. , The home where he has lived for more than half a year does not have an ancient communicator such as a telephone.

Since fate is such a trick, it is estimated that he does not intend to let him return to the original relaxed and carefree life, so Wan Qicheng and the group of friends he just made can be regarded as passers-by.

Actually, Red Village is not bad either.

There is no fighting and killing, and there are no strange card masters haunting, which is more in line with his values.

The big horn of the bus sounded to announce the stop, Xu Luning rubbed his frozen face, picked up the bread he bought, and got off the bus.The road leading to the Red Village is well built, and after walking a few hundred meters, you can see the entrance of the village.

Uncle Zeng treated each other with sincerity, and Xu Luning, who didn't have so much thought, naturally reciprocated the other party sincerely. The three of them got along pretty well. If there were no accidents, Xu Luning would spend this winter at their house.

After working for a month, Xu Luning had calluses on the palms of his hands, and he looked thinner, but his strength has increased a lot, and he has to go out to sell vegetables with his neighbor's car every day.

As usual, Xu Luning would follow the car back.

However, the news reports that there will be a snowstorm in the past two days. He went to the store to buy bread in advance and stored it at home.

Ever since he knew his goal and understood his situation, Xu Luning has become extremely hardworking. He can sell vegetables, chop firewood, and learn to do housework. He stopped throwing his clothes and socks away.

The previous life was like heaven, but now it is not hell, but he has to change his inertia, let himself grow up quickly, and after living two lives, he realizes that his past life was really without pursuit, and he lived in a muddle.

Thinking back, I want to slap myself.

Unscrewing the unlocked door, a cold Xu Luning walked into the house.

"Zeng Bo, I'm back!"

The first one who ran out of the hall from the kitchen was Uncle Zeng's grandson, Zeng Zihan: "Brother Ning, Grandpa is making dumplings for us, and he is waiting for you!"

Xu Luning took the bread in his hand and was pulled into the kitchen by Zeng Zihan. He could clearly feel the temperature of the room and the room, and his body gradually warmed up.

Zeng Abo is nearly [-] years old, and he is growing strong. Cooking and chopping firewood are not a problem, otherwise he would not be able to support Zeng Zihan, and Zeng Zihan is almost seven years old now.

"Drink a bowl of soup to warm up your body first." Zeng Bo smiled and handed Xu Luning a bowl of vegetable soup. The most important thing they have here is vegetables. However, after the blizzard is over, there may not be many vegetables. While Xu Luning is going out to sell vegetables, Zeng Bo picked all the vegetables that could be picked and put them in the cellar to survive the winter.

After drinking a bowl of soup, Xu Luning felt as if he had come back to life. He rubbed Zeng Zihan's head, then added firewood to the stove, and told Zeng Bo about the gossip about the aunts who were also selling vegetables in the vegetable market today.

The three get along well, with Xu Luning around, the food sells a lot, it doesn't matter if he doesn't like to talk or laugh, as soon as he sits at their fixed booth, there are many female customers, Xu Luning, who doesn't like to talk or laugh, is fine. A small scenic line in the vegetable market, mainly because his appearance is more delicate than the girl's, and those who pass by can't help but take a second look.

It is said that he is a distant cousin of Uncle Zeng, but everyone thinks that he is not like him. Uncle Zeng is naturally a coke, and he is not, hahaha!

There are minor troubles, but Xu Luning also relies on his own ability to solve them. If his ability to move his mouth is not good, then he can do it. Although he is thin, he is also a person who has experienced life and death, and the ruthlessness hidden deep has long been stimulated.

If you want to bully them, you can hit one with one, or two with each other, that's all!

There are only two rooms in Zeng Abo's house. Before Xu Luning came, Zeng Zihan and Zeng Zihan shared a bed. After he came, Zeng Zihan liked to listen to him tell stories and stayed with him every day. Later, they simply slept together. There is only one room, anyway, it is a child, and it does not occupy a lot of space.

Tonight, Xu Luning told Zeng Zihan a story as usual. The little guy was tired after a busy day with Zeng Bo, and he started snoring early, but Xu Luning unexpectedly did not fall asleep.

He touched the not-so-clear totem on his left arm, but he couldn't feel any pattern on it without looking closely.

There was no news of Arras who was summoned that day, as if they disappeared collectively.

Xu Luning sighed, tucked in the blanket for Zeng Zihan, and went to bed.

In the middle of the night, when Xu Luning was sleeping soundly, the dragon on the totem on his left arm started swimming again.
