Look at the medieval clock on the wall the whole time.
Finally, it's 0 o'clock.
Without even thinking about it, he glanced at Luya, who was sleeping beside him.
He carefully got up from the bed, walked carefully outside the house, and closed the door.
——
He took out cell phone No. 2 and hesitated whether to call.
But I am afraid that the other party will not be there when I make the call, thus missing the opportunity to make a call that only comes once a day.
He hesitated like this for a while.
In the end, I simply gave up and decided to wait until dawn.
But while turning around and going back to the house:
"Ahhhh..."
The cell phone in his hand suddenly rang, causing him to pick it up quickly.
"Hello……?"
He responded tentatively.
"It's fun, isn't it?"
Then there was a somewhat sullen voice from the other party.
"What?"
"Stop pretending to me. We agreed to go to the river, but I waited all day. Where are you?
Also, what kind of bad attributes does this thing of yours have? Why am I just picking it up now after I’ve been playing it all day?”
"This thing can only be used once a day, for five minutes each time. You can only choose between making or receiving calls."
"Wait a minute, you just said [dial] and [answer]?"
"I am also a brave man. Let's call this thing a [mobile phone]. Time is limited, so I won't explain too much here.
Let me ask you, is your name White Bird?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
He must have realized that something was wrong, as the anger in the other party's tone obviously reduced a lot.
"Do you know City A? The slums in the South District of City A, No. 23 Fortune Road."
"..."
The other party suddenly became silent. After a few seconds, he was careful to respond:
"Who the hell are you?"
"My name is Bai Yi. I have a sister who had a car accident when I was ten years old."
"Varied……"
The girl on the other end of the phone widened her eyes, covered her mouth in disbelief, and then hurriedly said:
"You, are you sure you're not joking? Brother? Is it you? Is it really you?"
Her tone became excited at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, I finally understood why Bai Yi's voice sounded familiar to me before.
Although Bai Yi's voice has changed as an adult, the familiar feeling of blood relationship between brother and sister remains unforgettable.
"Brother, where are you? Where are you?" she asked eagerly.
"I'm in Baicheng, City Lord's Mansion."
"Okay, I'll come to you right away."
After saying that, he started to get up, and heard a running whirring sound from the other end, indicating that the white bird was coming towards him.
The call time is limited, so Shiratori doesn’t want to waste it even if he is running.
Then I saw her running and saying:
"What's going on? Why? Why aren't you at the river during the day?"
"I've been here all along. I've been waiting across the river for a whole day, but you didn't come."
"It's impossible. I've been waiting all day, but I didn't even see your shadow."
"There must be some misunderstanding, but we haven't found the answer yet. Shiratiao, how old are you!"
"18."
"There is no problem with age. It means that the time flow speeds in this world and the real world are parallel. When did you get here?"
"When I was ten years old, I remember you were on the opposite side of the road, but I accidentally fell down, and then I couldn't remember anything.
When I woke up, I came here and was summoned by a queen. She said I was a brave man.
By the way, brother, the queen was very kind to me. I ate a lot of delicacies that I had never tasted before, and I had plenty of food and clothing.
I have always wanted to bring you here, but I have never been able to find a way."
"It's okay."
Bai Yi was finally relieved to hear that he had lived a good life after time travel, instead of being forced to flee for his life.
He just asked:
"Where did you live before?"
"I am traveling and have been living in Heicun during this period..."
He was only halfway through his words when he suddenly lost his voice because the time was up.
But it's not bad to get so much information in five minutes.
——
I thought about meeting my sister soon.
Reunited with relatives who were supposed to be dead.
Bai Yi's heart couldn't help but become excited and active.
He did not hesitate and went to the city gate immediately.
"City Lord!"
When we arrived at the city gate, there were several soldiers guarding it.
Seeing Bai Yi coming, I quickly cheered up.
A soldier stepped forward:
"City Lord, why are you here?"
"I'm waiting for a friend. Just do your own thing and don't worry about me."
"yes!"
——
Bai Yi was looking forward to it, so he stood at the gate of the city and waited for a long time, braving the cold wind.
But after waiting for an hour, there was no sign of the white bird at all, so I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
【Did something happen? Or was she already here?】
Bai Yi felt uneasy at first, when a familiar voice came from behind:
"City Lord, my City Lord!"
Looking back, it was old John running towards him with a dusty face and a thick coat in his hand.
"Uncle John? What are you doing here?"
"Hi! I woke up just now and heard someone said you were at the city gate, so I came to take a look."
After saying that, he put his coat on Bai Yi and said:
"Look at you, why are you wearing so little on such a cold day?"
"It's okay, uncle, I'm not cold."
"Then you can't wear so little. Young people can't just rely on their good health to spend time casually. If they don't fear ten thousand, they should be afraid of the worst. Anyone in Baicheng can get into trouble, but only you can't get into trouble."
Old John heard that Bai Yi came to the city gate and was still wearing the same clothes as during the day.
Worried that Bai Yi would catch a cold, he rushed over immediately.
After all, the night is much colder than the day, and most people catch colds and freeze to death at night.
——
It wasn't until Bai Yiyi had put on his coat that Old John breathed a sigh of relief and asked:
"Who is the city lord waiting for?"
"Well, an old friend."
"Are you from the royal capital?"
"Maybe. By the way, Uncle John, when you came here, was there any movement at the City Lord's Mansion?"
"There's no movement at all. What's wrong?"
"No, it's just that my friend may not go through the city gate and go directly to the city lord's mansion to find me."
After that, the two chatted for a while.
Mainly we talked about some official matters.
Seeing that Old John was a little sleepy, Bai said:
"How about you go back to sleep first, I can be alone."
"No, no, no, I'm accompanying the city lord, and you have someone to talk to. At least it's not boring."
"Go back to sleep, uncle. I'm counting on you to help me handle the documents during the day. If you stay up late with me, all my work during the day will be delayed."
Go back and send a message to the people at home.
If someone is looking for me, please notify me immediately."
"This... okay, City Lord, please take care of your health and don't get cold."
"rest assured."
Old John left, accompanied by a soldier.
His back looked particularly rickety, resembling those elderly people at home who couldn't take any time off.
But precisely because of this, the City Lord's Mansion has a touch of the warmth of home...
