"Isn't Wuming gone?"
Has he traveled through time again?
Feng Wuli walked towards the crop fields in front of him, and occasionally saw a farmer with his back to the sky, facing the land, and looked at him with wary eyes.
The sun was too hot, and the yellow land was so reflective that it was almost too bright to open your eyes. When you look into the distance, you can see that the air has been heated and expanded, making the space in the distance seem to be distorted.
He and his shadow were alone in the sun. The world was quiet at noon, quieter than late at night. Every sound he made felt like it would be infinitely amplified. When he took a step, he could hear his own footsteps so abruptly.
Feng Wuliang first went to the village ahead to ask for water.
A few hundred meters away from the village, he saw a five or six-year-old girl, skinny, with a small bun, wearing a small linen dress that didn't fit well, sitting on the ridge of a field under a big willow tree to enjoy the cool air.
Under that tree was the only shady spot nearby.
He walked over in silence, and the girl looked up at him, not afraid.
"Wang Xilou, I'm hungry."
The little Wang Xilou was stunned and didn't know how to be afraid. He stood up, patted the dust on his little butt, wiped his hands again, took it out of his arms, and took out a piece of something unknown. It was edible. He stretched out his arm and handed it to Feng Wuli, and said playfully:
"Here are the snacks from Xilou."
"Do you know who I am?"
Xiao Wang Xilou shook his head.
This woman has been so kind since she was a child!
Feng Wuli smiled, took what she handed over and didn't know if it was steamed buns, and took a bite.
"It tastes really bad..."
"I'm sorry, there's nothing else delicious in the West Building."
Feng Wuli pursed his lips. He couldn't eat soft food this time. He thought for a while: "How about I take you to eat something delicious?"
"OK!"
"Call me unreasonable brother."
"Brother Irrational." Jianshengsheng was particularly cute.
"Call Master."
"Master!"
Feng Wuli tried not to smile too obviously, squatted down and picked up Wang Xilou, the two of them slipped into the shadows and fled away in an instant.
Not long after the two left here, a man wearing a bamboo hat and looking like he had been cut out of a quilt passed by the crops.
He seemed to have walked a long way and walked to the willow tree to enjoy the shade. He leaned his back against the willow tree and put his hand on his belly. He couldn't see his face. You could feel his comfort just from his movements. In the high temperature at noon, he felt a sense of comfort. Under a willow tree is the coolest place in the world.
After a while, he scratched his head again and looked around.
I always feel like something is wrong, like something is wrong, but I don't know what is wrong.
…
Feng Wuli first went to accept the reward from the Qintian Prison. After getting the money, he went to the Orion stall and bought a bunch of game meat. He took Xiao Wang Xilou to the best restaurant in the city and asked the restaurant people to cook it.
Seeing Xiao Wang Xilou sitting opposite, grabbing a piece of meat and filling his mouth with his teeth bulging, his legs dangling nonchalantly under the wooden stool.
The street outside the restaurant is bustling with people, but it's not as lively as in a costume drama. The clothes are a bit more worn out and older. They are generally not tall. Almost all of them are sallow and thin, but among the short ones, the taller one
Not afraid of strangers at all.
She said vaguely: "Brother Wuli, please marry Xilou home from now on. Xilou can wash and cook, and will be a good wife."
Feng Wuli laughed and asked who taught her this.
"My mother said so. She said that she would marry anyone who can make Xilou well fed."
"Eat slowly, it's all yours."
"Xi Lou needs to eat more, otherwise I won't know how long I will be hungry next time."
"...Then you will give me your snacks?"
"But didn't you say you were hungry?" Her mouth was full of oil, and she asked innocently, like a little angel.
"It's unreasonable brother."
"Oh! But isn't it because Brother Wuyi said he was hungry?"
"Aren't you afraid that I am Yazi? I will sell you as a maid."
"Can Xilou be a maid for Brother Wuli!"
"..."
After thinking about it, it seems that under the current situation, Wang Xilou is indeed the same as the maid at home. Feng Wuli scratched his head, sighed with a smile, and wiped the corners of her greasy mouth.
There was a kid in rags next to him, smelling the aroma of meat on the table, but he didn't dare to come over at all.
Wang Xilou looked at him, but then stopped looking, but that look had already betrayed her.
"Go if you want." Feng Wuli said gently.
Wang Xilou then broke off half of the pheasant, jumped off the table, and walked over tentatively.
Halfway through, he looked back at Feng Wuli;
Then he walked over and handed it to the little beggar.
As a result, the man grabbed her things and ran away, leaving two dirty marks on her hands.
When she walked back, Feng Wuli wiped her hands for her, a little unhappy: "He didn't even thank you!"
"It's okay." The little angel smiled and narrowed his eyes.
Feng Wuli held her hand and said that he would send her back, otherwise her family would be worried.
Walking on the bustling street, I suddenly saw a person in the crowd who had been cut out of the screen.
The man looked at Feng Ruiruan across the crowd.
Classmate Xiao Wang was held by the hand and saw her elder brother suddenly stopped walking and stared straight ahead. She was very obedient and didn't ask anything. Her mother said she had to be obedient, so she just stayed with her and treated her to food. The meaty big brother is standing on the street.
When he saw that person, Feng Wuli seemed to wake up suddenly and realized that he was dreaming again.
In other words, he never dreamed;
Instead, he was pulled into someone else's dream.
Is this... Wang Xilou's dream?
In the first two dreams, Yeji met Liu Xiaoxiao's grandma, and the little fox met her mother-in-law. In Wang Xilou's dream, she should have met an important person when she was a child, and that person might Is it the person cut out from the picture in front?
who is he?
The man looked at Feng Wuli, who was holding a little girl from across the street, and suddenly laughed.
"So it's like this... Only today do you know who I am."
When he smiles, the dream will be shattered.
Feng Wuli woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes suddenly. In the dark room, only the clock on the wall rattled. Occasionally, there were cars speeding past on the city main road outside the old street. There was a lot of noise in the city, even on a non-raining night. It will be very quiet.
He seemed to have had several dreams just now, but they were a bit messy and he couldn't remember them all. He turned to look at the beautiful girl with long black hair sleeping next to him and was speechless for a long time.
He pulled her face, revealing two cute little tiger teeth, but Ye Ji in human form was much less vigilant than when she was a cat. Even if she was teased like this, she had no intention of waking up.
Lying down again, Feng Wuli separated some of the quilt from her to try to get sleepy. She felt that it was strange tonight, as if something big was coming.
I faintly heard a little boy calling me.
The crowd around him was mixed, and he was being pushed and shouted at the little boy to go back quickly.
"Don't follow me!"
"Brother! Are you really leaving?" the little boy asked urgently.
"Brother, please go back. Brother, go dig for gold. There is gold everywhere in the Western Continent. Brother, go back and dig as big as a chicken!"
Feng Wuli blinked and realized that he had become the little boy's elder brother, following the pushing crowd who didn't know where he was going.
He looked around and saw that the clothes of the people around him were not modern, but they were different from ancient times.
I found myself in a harbor, with the blue sea behind me and the crowds in front of me. In addition to the noisy and loud voices of people, I could also hear the faint sound of waves. A group of seagulls flew up, their wings flapping, and then a song covered up all the sounds. The sound of the flute filled the sky.
"Woo——!!!"
The little boy was still looking at him eagerly, "Brother, don't go!"
Feng Wuli started to move his mouth, "Brother, be obedient. We can't just eat and drink from my sister all the time. I'll give you a wife when I dig out the gold!"
The little boy kept crying and scolding him, scolding him for being nothing, and begging him not to leave.
But he had already followed the crowd and boarded the steel behemoth.
"Let's go back!"
He shouted to the young man under the boat and waved his hand: "Go back quickly! Come back when my brother digs out the gold!"
The hull of the boat started to sway, and the whistle was honking again. Surrounded by young people or middle-aged people who were about the same age as him now, most of them spoke Cantonese and Hokkien. Feng Wuli couldn't understand it very well, but the faces of these young people were full of expressions. Smiling from ear to ear.
Some people said that they were lucky enough to catch up this time and get on the boat.
He laughed heartily and said that there was gold everywhere over there, and they would go dig it and come back.
Those who have made money are reluctant to come back. They cannot forget their roots.
The man possessed by Feng Wuli suddenly squeezed to the side of the boat and said to the young man on the shore who was crying non-stop: "Brother! Wait for me to come back!"
"You must come back!"
"Go back quickly!"
There were more than twenty people crammed into a cabin of dozens of square meters. The smell was really unpleasant, there were no windows, the light was dim, and the smell of sweat and smelly feet were mixed together. Everyone in the cabin was talking happily and digging. How to get gold.
The noisier the voice, the calmer Feng Wuli's heart became.
Because he knew that there was no gold on the other side of the sea, at least not the gold they were looking for.
The great spring and autumn dreams of the people in this boat can be easily swallowed up like a floating leaf on the sea.
In this land in the 19th century, the country was ups and downs. White people from another continent said that their land was full of gold. Countless people boarded ships across the ocean, and a large number of ships loaded with Chinese workers were shipped to the other side of the Pacific.
The gold rush that was set off at that time swept through the cities along the East China Sea. What they didn't know was that the Chinese were treated like piglets and cheap labor because of their hard work, low wages, and low living standards.
Their pigtails were tied together and treated like slaves like animals.
No one expected them to survive; their purpose was to die in the mines and build the railroad.
Feng Wuli opened his mouth to say something, but when he opened his mouth, it turned into a smile. He smiled and told the people around him.
"When the time comes, I will also pick up a few pieces of gold and go back to marry my brother-in-law."
As soon as the scene changed, Feng Wuli realized that he had not come to a place full of gold.
The sound of clanging shovels hitting the ground could be heard all around.
