Yan Yueming was very nervous and uneasy. It was the first time he met a talking NPPC and he took the initiative to say hello to him and invited him to drink tea. Its words fell into Yan Yueming's ears and were automatically translated into: "Dalang, drink the medicine."
But all these emotions disappeared when I saw my aunt's letter.
"It's my aunt's handwriting, it's her!" Yan Yueming held the thin rice paper folded into tofu cubes and unfolded it carefully.
For these twenty years, who else could be the one to blame besides his aunt?
Wen Renjing also came over excitedly to take a look, "Is she really your aunt?"
Yan Yueming nodded vigorously, tears almost falling down because look at what my aunt wrote in the letter?
She wrote:
[Kiss Xiao Ming, you can see words like faces.
I'm gone, don't worry, it's not like I won't come back.
I'm not lying to you before, I really didn't think about it. No, when I thought about it, things got a little out of control. I originally planned to wait for you to come back at Pu Xia Zi Lane, but when I dreamed about it at midnight, I remembered some old things on the Yihong Boat. In a moment of excitement, I rushed to No. 14 Heping Street, where I met Xun.
I met him face to face and thought he was a thief who broke into an empty house.
Who knew he was the bald bird.
All in all, all of this is an accident and a misunderstanding. Just like when I was 17 years old, I thought I was the protagonist and wanted to save the world, but I later found out that I wasn't.
But it doesn't matter, whether you are the protagonist or not, as long as you live in the world for one day, you are the protagonist of your own life. The reason why I went to No. 14 Heping Street was because of a dog named Dahuang.
Don't call it wrong, it will bite.
Dahuang and I met on the Yihong Boat and experienced many adventures together. We were friends who shared weal and woe. I once promised it that I would take it with me and take it home. And before it fell into the gap, it lived at No. 14.
It's a pity that I missed the appointment.
The rhubarb did not return to No. 14. I don't know where it ended up. If you are lucky enough to encounter it, don't say it is my nephew. Okay, having said all that, I think you must be very concerned about my safety, but Xiao Ming, I have a reason to go to Hu Di. But what it is specifically, I can’t elaborate on yet.
Ondine can be trusted, but only when he takes off his hat. Remember, don’t.
Also, take care of yourself and learn from my aunt. If you have nothing to do, hug Huayuanlu's thigh. Although I haven't seen your senior in many years, with your aunt and my vicious eyes, he will definitely be a handsome guy when he grows up.
Not a loss.
Auntie loves you.
kisses. 】
Wen Renjing: "Wow."
Yan Yueming's eyes were red. On the one hand, she was happy that her aunt was really alive, that she was fine, and that she was still in the mood to joke with herself. This invincible chicness, sense of humor, and faint lack of tone were her aunt's usual style. , there is absolutely no possibility of fraud. But auntie, auntie, I know it’s not a loss, but can you not say it?
I'm thin-skinned.
Thinking of this, Yan Yueming quietly raised his head to see Li Zheng. I saw Li Zheng sitting on the sofa leisurely, and glanced over calmly, "Thank you for the compliment?"
Yan Yueming: "..."
Let the world be destroyed.
Fortunately, Li Zheng did not continue this topic, but looked at Onding, put down the teacup, and said, "Tell me about you."
Ondine's little purple top hat was at hand, but he didn't wear it. He shrugged humanely and said, "Me? I have nothing to say. As you can see, my name is Ondine, and I was born in a strange place. A doll in the cabin. Of course, you can also think of me as your companion when I'm not wearing a hat."
Wen Renjing couldn't help but asked curiously: "Do you still retain your self-awareness as a human being? I can't control my fate?"
Ondine: "Yes."
Wen Renjing: "How did you do it?"
Ondine: "Why should I tell you? Are you worthy of my trust? Human beings are the most cunning, and I am just a poor doll stitched together with countless soul fragments."
He choked when he heard the scene.
Yan Yueming wiped away her tears at this moment. She looked very scared and sat farthest away from Ang Ding, but she still boldly asked: "Then you trust my aunt, right? Where did you meet her?" What kind of friendship do you have? Is she okay? Why did you come back suddenly? Is it just to deliver a message to her? Then how did you know that I was here? He was also here just now, did you see him? Or was he the one who informed you? You came here just to let you kill us. Who knew you were an undercover agent? But that’s not right. The wanderer on No. 11 said that Ondine was coming back. How did he know beforehand that you would come back? My aunt said she If it’s not the protagonist, then who is the protagonist, do you know?”
Ang Ding then looked at Yan Yueming and said, "Your aunt is indeed right. You are very wordy."
Yan Yueming shook her head firmly: "You lied. My aunt never said anything bad about me outside. She always defended me."
As he spoke, his eyes turned red again, as if he was deeply hurt by Ondine. Ondine was silent for a while and then said: "You are nothing like her."
Yan Yueming clenched her fists and said, "I want you to take care of it."
Li Zheng glanced at Ang Ding and said, "Let's get down to business."
Ondine said: "He asked so many questions at once, which one do you want me to answer?"
Wen Renjing hurriedly answered, "Protagonist, please answer who the protagonist is first?"
"Well..." Ondine prolonged his tone, whetting his appetite, but said, "I don't know either."
Wen Renjing: "Really?"
Ondine: "Believe it or not, human beings pride themselves on being smart. Don't you guess it yourself? But what you are most interested in, besides Don Qiao, is probably the issue of poison. I can tell you that the consciousness of the world is weakening, so it is active. The period has advanced and the poison has become weaker."
Wen Renjing immediately showed joy, and even Yan Yueming stopped crying. It's such a great thing that even a dead person will come to life and dance the Yangko after hearing it, so why are you crying?
In comparison, who the protagonist is is less important.
"You are right to ask, I came back here not because of Tang
Qiao, it's not because of the call of the devil, but because of the active period. The hooligans are all running away, so of course I have to come back and make it a little more difficult for humans. Ondine continued.
"But that's wrong. You didn't come back from the last active period. There is no 'Ondine' in the strange cabin. Where have you been?" Wen Renjing asked.
"This is my privacy." Ang Ding straightened his enchanted silver-white crew head and said, "I won't tell you."
Wen Renjing was so angry that he poked Yan Yueming with his elbow. Just as he was about to persuade him to complain to his senior, Ang Ding said again: "But what are you talking about about the homeless man on the 11th? Isn't he a ragged man?" Crazy man?”
Yan Yueming was slightly startled, then nodded, "Do you know him?"
Ondine: "Before the active period came, I saw it in the cracks in the depths. If there is any human who knows that I will definitely come back, it should be him."
Hearing this, Yan Yueming and Wen Renjing were both surprised. Is this No. 11 so powerful? He looks so crazy that he even went to the deep cracks and came back safely?
Even Li Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you know his name?"
Ondine: “Sometimes he’s sober, sometimes he’s like a madman
, I don’t know his name either. "
Li Zheng: "Which gap in the depths?"
Ondine: "Orange town."
Li Zheng pondered for a moment and then asked, "How did you and Tang Qiao meet?"
Ang Ding was much more cooperative when facing Li Zheng, "I had dealt with her when she first fell into the gap. A few days ago, I came out of the orange town and vaguely heard from the passing humans. When I heard that she fell into the gap again, I went to Yihong Boat to see her again. She asked me to deliver this letter, and I agreed."
Wen Renjing: "Human? Are you from the search and rescue team?"
Ang Ding shrugged, "Probably, I overheard them talking, and the leader is called Yan Fei."
The context of the matter gradually became clear. First of all, the wanderer No. 11 and Ondine were in the orange-red town some time ago. No. 11 left first, came here, and went to the Silent Street. Ang Ding left and got the news about Tang Qiao from Yan Fei, so he went to Yihong Ship.
Yan Yueming hurriedly asked: "Where did you find the Yihong Boat?"
Ondine: "Snowy plains, the ship just passed there. When I left, the humans just arrived, but with their speed and the hunters on the snowy plains, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up. Then The boat is going to Hudi."
"Then, do you know why my aunt went to Hu Di?" Yan Yueming was full of expectations.
"Perhaps she wants to save the world." Ondine joked coldly, but he was unwilling to say more, "Okay, the poison is gone and the letter has been delivered. I will send you away."
Wen Renjing asked sharply: "Although Zhen is gone, has he returned to Shangfang City? If we go back so soon, won't he suspect you of cheating?"
"You just left the strange hut. You can't go back for the time being, so there's no point in talking about it." Ondine stuffed the torn cotton wool that came out of his neck back, grabbed his little purple hat with his paws, and said something meaningful. .
But the asphalt road outside Weiqi's hut leads to the quiet neighborhood. The quiet neighborhood is a relatively safe area with more than one way out. Even Yan Yueming is familiar with the place, but Ang Ding still has two questions about whether he can go back...
Has anything changed outside?
Thinking of this, Yan Yueming suddenly raised his head and looked out the window. It's snowing outside. Is the sudden snowstorm unusual?
Yan Yueming had guessed this possibility, and Wen Renjing and Li Zheng could not have guessed it, but Ang Ding did not give them a chance to ask again, saying: "I held back just now. Whether I leave or not, there is no chance." Only this time."
The ending sound of the word "oh" was slightly upturned, which caused goosebumps in Yan Yueming's ears. The instinct of a small animal came online again. He sensed danger and subconsciously looked at Li Zheng.
Li Zheng did not doubt what Ang Ding said. After it took off its hat, its attitude changed slightly and it admitted defeat very quickly, which showed that it had indeed stopped. Judging from the entire conversation, although Ondine retained part of his self-awareness and revealed information about world consciousness to them, he did not trust them.
In contrast, Li Zheng did not completely trust it.
"Okay." Li Zheng was very decisive, and his movements when he stood up were somewhat casual.
"Then let's go." Ondine jumped down from the sofa, because its legs were short and could not reach the ground. When he jumped down, his silver-white flat head shook, which was quite joyful.
But at this time, Li Zheng looked at Yan Yueming again and said, "It's okay to let us leave. You need to provide clothes and shoes."
Ang Ding also looked over, and his button-made eyes looked up and down at Yan Yueming, and said, "You really don't look like her at all. Just wait."
Li Zheng stopped it again, "I don't just want him."
Ang Ding turned around. The doll's face should have been expressionless, but Yan Yueming could still see the dissatisfaction. Li Zheng seemed not to notice anything and looked back at him calmly.
The two sides faced off silently, and the atmosphere was stalemate.
Neither Yan Yueming nor Wen Renjing dared to fart, they were as quiet as Li Zheng's leg pendant.
In the end Ondine did not revolt. It exhaled through its nostrils, let out a "hum", shook its enchanted little crew head, then turned around and went to a room next to the living room, where it found a pile of windproof hats, fur coats, moccasin boots, etc., all piled up On the living room rug.
It patted its paws and said, "This is all I have here."
How could Yan Yueming know how to choose? Some of them would look good, so he quickly said sincerely: "Thank you."
Ondine heard his thanks and hummed again, but this time he hummed unnaturally. The button-made eyes looked up and down at Yan Yueming, as if they couldn't resist him, and left after saying a word.
"Just wait," it said.
Wait? What are you waiting for?
Yan Yueming scratched his head, not sure why. If he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it. He quickly pulled out his clothes, picked out his own size and put them on. Yan Yueming is thin, so wearing a fur coat is not too bulky. With the belt tied, she looks like a spirited little hunter. She also wears a windproof hat with fluff inside, which makes her look a little bit naive.
At this time, Ondine came back again and threw him a small golden axe. "Here it is, I don't want it anymore."
Yan Yueming: "???"
Don't want it for nothing.
"Thank you, thank you." Yan Yueming asked Li Zheng with his eyes. After receiving a positive answer, he quickly picked up the ax. He imitated the way in movies and TV shows, and put the ax back on his belt. Unexpectedly, it actually worked, and it didn't fall off even after jumping.
But when he dressed up like this, he looked more like a hunter.
In that compartment, Wen Renjing and Li Zheng also put on thick fur coats. If Yan Yueming is a little hunter, and Wen Renjing is a young master who secretly wears adults' clothes, and the hem of his clothes almost drags to the ground, then Li Zheng is at least the leader of the Eighteen Villages, licking blood from the edge of a knife with a group of five big and three thick. Among the men, this village leader was the only one who had studied abroad and drank foreign ink.
The black fur collar made him look particularly noble, with a touch of domineering aura.
Yan Yueming could instantly make up a copy of "The Overbearing Village Master Falls in Love with Me".
Ondine didn't like it very much, and he didn't want them to stay any longer, so he went straight forward and opened the door. The door that Yan Yueming couldn't push open no matter how hard he pushed it opened, as if it wasn't locked at all.
As soon as the door opened, the wind and snow came.
"Please," Ondine said.
When Li Zheng said he wanted to leave, he didn't hesitate for a moment.
Yan Yueming followed
He walked into the wind and snow and couldn't help but look back. He saw Ondine putting on the little purple hat again inside the door that was gradually closing.
"Bang." The door closed.
Wen Renjing couldn't believe it, "We just came out like this?"
Li Zheng's expression remained normal, "He said everything that needed to be said."
Yan Yueming: "What?"
Li Zheng: "First, the Snowy Land is in danger; second, Hu Di is the key to defeating world consciousness."
Yan Yueming and Wen Renjing looked at each other. They were not stupid and they reacted quickly.
Ondine said that when he left the snowfield, humans had just arrived, and he specifically mentioned the hunters in the snowfield to remind them that humans might be in danger. And the phrase "Maybe she wants to save the world" may not be a casual joke.
Wen Renjing raised his hand to catch a snowflake, "Speaking of which, this snow is really unusual... Has it ever snowed here before in Strange House?"
Li Zheng: "No."
