"You scared me to death. You were whining like that. You were never like this before." Su Wanxia was so frightened that she had to complain about Chu Xiaoming.
Chu Xiaoming didn't take it seriously at all. He stared at the mountains, rivers, urban forests in the sky and below, his eyes widened.
Shen Yinuo also felt a little embarrassed, so she cleared her throat and changed the subject and asked, "Miss Huan, are we really on the moon?"
Qing Shuihuan looked forward. She held a small, round bead in her hand. Every time the bead flickered, the disk carrying everyone lowered a little.
"Yes."
"Oh...that's really incredible...the moon in my impression should be a barren land."
Qing Shuihuan did not respond, but Wang Quanran did his job as a "tour guide" to the end.
"Miss Shen's impression is correct. The moon is indeed a barren land, but Hongwu City is an exception. This should be regarded as the first man-made habitable land for mankind. It is also the place where our overall civilization level will rise in the near future. The entire solar system is being planned and constructed, which means that you may be able to take a vacation on Jupiter in your lifetime."
"What? Vacationing on Jupiter? Let me tell you, Boss Wang, you are too boastful. We are also top students who graduated from prestigious schools. We will not let you be fooled so easily." After Chu Xiaoming came back to his senses, he said Become a gangster.
Wang Quanran just smiled.
Su Wanxia saw clearly from the sidelines that although Wang Quanran was just smiling, there was no trace of embarrassment in his smile.
What does this mean?
This shows that people are not just talking nonsense.
Although astronauts all know how scary Jupiter is, this is just like the fear we had when we faced natural disasters many years ago.
When we have the ability to truly intervene in nature, and even influence and transform the natural environment, we can create a stable and livable environment for ourselves.
If this ability to intervene or even transform the natural environment was placed thousands of years ago, the ancients would have thought that we modern humans were all gods descending to earth. Thinking of this, Su Wanxia not only did not think that Wang Quanran was talking nonsense, but also felt that " The doubts and rejection of "Old Gods" have been eliminated.
Old gods...
Old God!
Su Wanxia smiled slightly, feeling suddenly enlightened.
This smile happened to fall in the eyes of Xian Qianhua, who was not far away. She glanced at Su Wanxia meaningfully, then quietly pulled Yan Sichen over and said something.
…
About ten minutes later, the disk landed in the center of a manor far away from the city.
Children flying kites can be seen everywhere on the green land as far as the eye can see. Their faces are filled with bright and happy smiles. This scene makes Su Wanxia and others feel a little dazed.
For Su Wanxia, who lacks parental care, flying kites is almost synonymous with loneliness, but it is different here. Thousands of children are playing here, and the scene is really lively.
Shen Yinuo and Xian Qianhua were also infected by the smiles on these children's faces, and smiled unconsciously.
On the other hand, Yan Sichen and Chu Xiaoming, these two men seemed to hate naughty children, so when they saw so many children running around, they kept frowning and rubbing their noses as if they were allergic, looking uncomfortable.
"Where are there so many children here? Whose family do they belong to?" Chu Xiaoming asked.
Wang Quanran said, "Most of these children are children from residents in nearby towns, and some are orphans without fathers and mothers, but they all have the same identity, that is, they are Mr.'s students."
"Hey? Is it true? Can one person teach him?" Chu Xiaoming expressed doubts.
Su Qingyun seemed to be very sensitive to everything about her husband. She frowned and said, "Sir, he has his own way, so I don't need you to worry about it."
"Hey! You..." Chu Xiaoming got angry when he was criticized again.
"Xiao Ming!" But when Shen Yinuo glared, he immediately fainted again.
"Oh...I know...Thank you, Miss Su, for reminding me." Chu Xiaoming said through gritted teeth.
Su Wanxia on the side looked amused, and without helping her good brother, she silently followed the people in front towards the only big house in the manor.
The house covers a large area and looks like a low mountain from a distance.
Based on visual inspection alone, it is estimated to be several thousand square meters.
The house has only two floors. The first floor is made of blue tiles and white walls, and the window pane design has a certain Su style.
The main entrance is very large, but the two stone sculptures in front of it are not the common stone lions or other auspicious animals that guard the house of Su Wanxia. Instead, they are two maids facing the door. They should look similar to the Kumo nuns.
The red lacquer door was more than five meters wide. It was now open, and there were many young men and women in white clothes and white trousers standing inside and outside the door with their hands hanging.
After seeing Qingshui Huan, they all bowed to each other. This scene looked very oriental.
But this stone sculpture...
"Tsk... the design of this big house is very good, especially the metasequoia trees on both sides of the yard. It's amazing! But just these two statues, why are there two maids here? It's nondescript." Chu Xiaoming said it bluntly. The thoughts in the minds of Su Wanxia and others.
Surprisingly, Su Qingyun was not angry this time, and she walked straight into the yard.
Wang Quanran, a conscientious "tour guide", was responsible for explaining, "When I first arrived here, the original owner of the house had two stone lions in front of the door, but then an old god walked by the door. He felt that the lions It looked very scary, so I randomly changed the stone lion into what it looks like now."
Chu Xiaoming was stunned, "Is there anything else you can say? What? This old god also lives in Hongwu City like ordinary people?"
Wang Quanran shook his head this time and said, "I have only heard this mentioned by my father's generation. I really don't know the details... Hey... speaking of it, I was only seven years old when I came to the moon last time. Now, more than 40 years later, Hongwu City has remained largely unchanged, but many things have changed, such as the stone lions in front of the gate and the metasequoias on both sides of the courtyard."
"Huh? You don't come here often even if we are in a good relationship? So are we very lucky?" Chu Xiaoming was happy.
Wang Quanran also laughed and said, "Given your status as a gentleman, it would be an honor for you to be lucky enough to come here and meet him, but..."
"But?" Chu Xiaoming stopped laughing.
"Hey... that's all. Maybe I'm just overthinking it. You guys should follow me in quickly and don't stand in front of the door for a long time." With that, Wang Quanran went to the yard.
Chu Xiaoming was very unhappy after hearing only half of the words. He was about to follow up and ask questions but was stopped by Su Wanxia.
Chu Xiaoming was stunned, "What's wrong?"
Su Wanxia frowned and motioned for him to look above his head.
Only then did Chu Xiaoming notice that the sky directly above the courtyard seemed different from the others. It was facing the artificial sun.
Although the light of this artificial sun is far less dazzling than the real sun, it still obscures many of the corresponding scenery on the other side of the earth.
Su Wanxia signaled to Chu Xiaoming that the place he was looking at was not at the artificial sun, but at the land of the sun.
Faintly, a dark shadow hung high in the sky, and it was impossible to see what it was from the ground with the naked eye.
But as soon as you see him, you will have an inexplicable feeling of being locked by something... It feels very bad.
Chu Xiaoming frowned and said, "What is that? Old God?"
Su Wanxia shook her head, looked away and said, "Let's go."
Only then did a few people enter the courtyard.
From the outside, the courtyard seems to cover a large area, and once you enter, it is even more magical.
The square courtyards are surrounded by rings, and each ring is different.
Take the first thing you see when you enter the courtyard. It is a natural corridor composed of a bamboo forest. The tall bamboos block the sunlight, and the environment in the forest is very quiet.
The bluestone road is under your feet, and there are bamboo leaves on both sides of the road.
While walking, Su Wanxia always felt a little unreal.
Because when viewed from the outside of the courtyard, the courtyard wall is only about two meters long, but as soon as you enter the courtyard, you enter a bamboo forest, and the bamboos are at least three stories high. Why can't you see these when you are outside?
Is it an illusion?
Perhaps she had experienced too many strange things, and Su Wanxia was too lazy to think about them.
After walking along Qingshui Road for a while, I saw a stone gate hidden deep in the bamboo forest.
Qingshui Huan, who was walking at the front, led everyone through the stone gate and arrived at the second ring of the courtyard.
Compared with the first ring, the path between the streams in the second ring is obviously much brighter.
Water sourced from unknown sources trickled by their feet, and everyone moved forward almost step by step. It felt like a group of people taking a spring outing in the wild.
After Chu Xiaoming danced a few times, he smiled and said to Yinuo, "Hey Yinuo, you said this place is really interesting. They actually designed such a road in the yard."
Shen Yinuo carefully chose a clean place to stay. She wore a pair of white shoes. It seemed that she didn't want to get them dirty.
"Is it interesting? Why do I think the person who designed this place is crazy?" After hearing this, Shen Yinuo didn't like this design very much.
But some people don't like it.
For example, Xian Qianhua lived by the sea for generations before becoming an astronaut.
She was the only one in the team who walked barefoot directly in the stream, and she looked very excited. Fantasy Novel Network
Yan Sichen said with some worry, "Qian Hua, be careful, there might be something strange in the water."
Xian Qianhua didn't care at all, "What are you afraid of? It's rare that I can get close to the water again. You'd better pay more attention to your steps."
Yan Sichen sighed softly and had no choice but to do so.
Seeing Xian Qianhua walking barefoot in the stream, Su Wanxia was a little eager to try it, but he was very concerned about whether the people in front of him would think it was rude, so he asked Wang Quanran, "Uncle Wang, this stream should be fine.
Bar?"
Wang Quanran had long noticed that Xian Qianhua was walking barefoot in the stream. He smiled and said, "I can't say this, but look at how happy that girl is. She should be fine."
Hard to tell? Su Wanxia grinned, then she secretly looked at Su Qingyun again.
What I didn't expect was that this sister actually took off her high heels while walking and her bare feet got wet.
Seeing this scene, Su Wanxia's last hesitation disappeared.
He simply sat down and took off his shoes.
Chu Xiaoming was stunned when he saw this, "Brother Wanxia, what are you doing? It's too rude to walk barefoot in the guest's yard."
Su Wanxia rolled her eyes at him when she heard this, then took off her shoes and got into the water.
After putting the call into the stream, Su Wanxia was surprised by the clarity of the stream.
It's not that it's a chilling feeling, but this kind of coolness can penetrate directly into the body and mind through the soles of the feet.
In a moment, all fatigue seemed to have dissipated, and for a moment people couldn't help but sigh.
Chu Xiaoming on the side couldn't help but be even more surprised when he heard the voice, "Hey, brother Wanxia, you just take off your shoes and go into the water, why do you make it look like you are soaking your feet? Is it really that comfortable?"
When Su Wanxia heard this, she rolled her eyes at him and said, "You don't know how to come down and try it yourself."
After saying that, Su Wanxia got up and followed the team, ignoring Chu Xiaoming.
Chu Xiaoming was stunned on the spot, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, "Hey! When did this kid become so tricky to attack people from such a tricky angle?"
"Oh, don't be poor. It's too far here for me to get through. Please help me." Shen Yinuo was still worried about his shoes.
When Chu Xiaoming heard this, he looked around and said, "Ah? How to help?"
"Get into the water! You stand in the middle, I will step on your legs and I will pass." Shen Yinuo said.
Chu Xiaoming "Huh?!!"
"Hey what! Hurry up!"
"Oh! OK, OK!" Chu Xiaoming also got into the water.
But just when he went down into the stream, he suddenly felt like a pair of eyes behind him were looking at him.
The feeling was very similar to the feeling when he found the black shadow before entering the door. Chu Xiaoming supported his goddess and looked back carefully.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, Chu Xiaoming just looked back, and his body trembled with shock, his feet went weak, and he just heard "Oh!"
"Plop!"
Shen Yinuo and Chu Xiaoming both fell into the creek.
By the time Chu Xiaoming pulled Shen Yinuo up, Shen Yinuo, who loved cleanliness the most, had turned into a drowned rat.
While coughing, she hit Chu Xiaoming with her little fist and said, "Asshole! It's all your fault!"
Chu Xiaoming had no intention of coaxing Shen Yinuo right now. He immediately pulled the goddess and ran forward.
Shen Yinuo was startled and asked anxiously, "What are you doing?"
"Stop talking! I saw a ghost!"
"Ghost?" Shen Yinuo turned around and saw only the gurgling stream. Where did the ghost come from?
"Where is it?"
Chu Xiaoming also turned around, but the scene he saw was completely different from Shen Yinuo.
The little girl was standing in the creek. There was nothing abnormal about her body shape or appearance. But if you look down further, you would find that the water flowing around her was red and black, and it looked like blood.
How could this scene not frighten Xiaoming?
So he didn't care what Shen Yinuo said, he picked her up and ran forward, "Oh, she's right behind me! Don't talk, I'm here!"
"Oh! Put me down! Put me down! I haven't got my shoes yet!"
"Don't take it, it's important to save your life!"
…
When the people in front found Chu Xiaoming running all the way, they were shocked.
Especially Su Qingyun. In her eyes, this tall and thin person who talks nonsense probably doesn't have the strength to carry people and run wildly in the stream.
"Xiaoming?! What are you doing?" Su Wanxia was stunned.
"Run for your lives! Don't stand still, run away!" Chu Xiaoming was so loyal that he didn't forget to pull his brother when he passed by Su Wanxia.
But Su Wanxia didn't appreciate it. He retreated and stopped Chu Xiaoming and said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you running for your life?"
Chu Xiaoming almost fell down due to this pull, and Shen Yinuo, who was holding him on his shoulders, finally returned to the ground.
As soon as Shen Yinuo landed on the ground, he waved his jade arms and slapped Chu Xiaoming, saying, "Dirty! Shameless! Coward!"
Chu Xiaoming's face was burning with pain, but he didn't care. He found that the girl had followed him and was smiling at him.
So he exclaimed in shock, "Look over there! There is definitely something wrong with that little girl! She is a ghost! A ghost!"
The high-octave drake's voice is really noisy.
Su Wanxia covered Chu Xiaoming's mouth and said, "Shut up! It's so embarrassing!"
Xian Qianhua and Yan Sichen also suddenly felt that maybe they should stay away from them, otherwise it would be too embarrassing... An astronaut with 251 hours of space walking time is actually afraid of ghosts? Can you believe this?
"Little girl? Huh? Why didn't I see it? Have you seen it?" Wang Quanran asked.
Everyone shook their heads, including Su Wanxia, who actually cared a little about what Chu Xiaoming said, but he did not see the little girl that Chu Xiaoming was talking about.
At this moment, Su Qingyun, who had already landed on the shore, said, "Don't just stay there in a daze, we have more important things to do."
After hearing this, everyone ignored Chu Xiaoming's warning and continued to move forward.
Chu Xiaoming was still whining and saying something, and looking at his expression, he seemed to be really wronged.
Su Wanxia looked behind her with concern and then whispered to Chu Xiaoming, "Stop talking. If you find anything, let's talk in private."
Chu Xiaoming calmed down after hearing this.
Shen Yinuo also knew what Chu Xiaoming was like.
Although this brother comes across as noisy and unreliable most of the time, he is actually a warm-hearted and tough guy with a true temperament, so he usually won't be so gloomy.
Now that he calmed down, Shen Yinuo began to wonder if he had wrongly blamed Chu Xiaoming.
But as Chu Xiaoming said, now is not the time to discuss these things.
"Let's go, don't stay here too long." Shen Yinuo tucked her hair behind her ears, wrapped herself in wet clothes and walked forward.
…
Everyone got ashore and entered the third ring of the courtyard.
This ring is not only an empty road, there are small houses lined up in two neat rows on both sides of the white jade path.
There are many people in the house.
They were dressed the same as the boys in white clothes and white trousers in front of the door, but they looked obviously more mature.
Occasionally there will be some children running from the front.
When they see Qing Shui Huan, they will bow respectfully and continue to play until everyone has gone away.
After finally arriving at a popular place, Chu Xiaoming's frightened little heart finally got some comfort.
As he walked, he explained to Shen Yinuo in a low voice, "I really saw dirty things! Can you not believe me?"
Shen Yinuo lost his shoes and is now wearing Chu Xiaoming's. However, the shoe size is very different, so it is not very comfortable to go on the boat, but it is better than walking barefoot.
"Of course I believe you, but you are too embarrassed, you know?" Shen Yinuo rolled his eyes at him.
