Yu
Chapter 667 Old Friend
Xia Yan thought Jiang Xiao was crazy, and the crucial thing was, she also liked to go crazy.
After the plane landed at Taiping Airport, he took the two of them and hurriedly got into a taxi. He first told the driver to drive to the city, and then used his mobile phone to search for the location of large bookstores.
It could be seen that Jiang Xiao didn't plan to go home, didn't plan to take a bath, change clothes, and rest for a while; he planned to go shopping directly.
However, Jiang Xiao's destination raised Xia Yan and Han Jiangxue's shopping level by a notch.
Bookstore?
This place was novel.
Han Jiangxue also saw the clues. Jiang Xiao couldn't even wait to order online. Even if it only took a day for delivery to home, he was unwilling to wait.
Han Jiangxue also took out her mobile phone and opened the search engine.
Xia Yan asked curiously, "What are we going to the bookstore for?"
Jiang Xiao thought for a while and replied, "To buy some children's books, I have a little friend."
"Eh? Little friend?" Xia Yan asked with suspicion, wanting to ask something more, but Han Jiangxue had already spoken, looking at the phone screen, and said softly, "Three Hundred Tang Poems, Standards for Being a Good Student and Child, Ancient Chinese Fables, Idiom Stories."
Jiang Xiao felt a toothache. He was very anxious, but when he heard "Standards for Being a Good Student and Child", he thought of the years in the small black room of the Imperial Capital Star Martial University, and the mushroom warden - Xie Ala.
Xia Yan also fiddled with her mobile phone, joining the brother and sister's book search team, and said, "Andersen's Fairy Tales, Grimm's Fairy Tales, One Thousand and One Nights, The Little Prince."
Jiang Xiao nodded secretly and replied, "Buy them all, buy them all! Buy everything you two said!"
The driver chimed in, "My child is 6 years old and is reading "Water Margin" now. He holds a plastic machete every day, jumping around, so happy!"
Jiang Xiao: "......"
Xia Yan laughed out loud and said, "Can a 6-year-old understand Water Margin?"
The driver glanced at Xia Yan through the rearview mirror with contempt, and said, "A picture book version, with few words, all pictures."
Jiang Xiao interrupted the topic and looked at the "expert", saying, "What does your child like to play with?"
Driver: "Didn't I tell you, he carries a plastic machete all day long, jumping up and down."
Jiang Xiao had a black line on his face and said, "What else... what else does he like to play with?"
Driver: "What else does he like to play? He used to like playing with mobile phones, fiddling with some game, I don't understand. Anyway, his mother and I don't let him play with mobile phones anymore. Now he carries a plastic machete every day..."
Jiang Xiao: "Stop, stop, stop! I get it, I get it..."
The car slowly stopped in front of a Xinhua Bookstore in the Eastern District. The trio paid and got out of the car, and the taxi slowly drove away.
Jiang Xiao turned to look at Han Jiangxue, and said uncertainly, "Or... should we buy a plastic machete?"
Han Jiangxue: "......"
Half an hour later.
The trio walked out of the bookstore, holding a pile of books, and threw all the books into Han Jiangxue's Shattered Space at the corner of the stairs, and then walked onto the street.
Han Jiangxue said, "Let's buy him some snacks too."
Jiang Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't dare. Books can be left to read over and over again, and toys can also be bought, but if there are snacks, they will be gone after eating. He will always remember that taste, and then want it but can't get it. I think that's a kind of suffering..."
Han Jiangxue said quietly, "What do you think his reaction will be when he sees these books, reads one story after another, and sees one colorful world after another? It's the same as wanting but not being able to get it."
Jiang Xiao pursed his lips, not knowing how to answer.
Xia Yan finally couldn't help but ask, "Which child are you buying these things for? An orphanage?"
Jiang Xiao looked at his mobile phone and said, "Remember I told you that I was searching in the upper dimension?"
Xia Yan nodded.
Jiang Xiao's words were simple and clear, "I found a few missing soldiers, found a child, and also found the way to their residence."
Xia Yan's mouth opened into an "o" shape. After a long time, she said in astonishment, "If you go to the upper dimension from the Sacred Ruins, isn't the landing point random?"
Jiang Xiao said, "I found the way."
Xia Yan: !!!
At the same time, in the upper dimension.
Four adults and a child sat in the stone room.
Cang Lan was holding Yuan Yuan, still looking at Jiang Xiao with an incredible expression. For a person without the concept of time, five months and ten months were the same.
The only difference was that Jiang Xiao was back!!!
Lure Jiang Xiao opened a large white ghost skin and spread it on the ground, and said, "Your guess is correct. The snowfield here is pieced together from the same scenes."
Hu Wei's reaction was the same as Cang Lan's. He didn't have time to look at the map at all, and kept staring at Jiang Xiao's circled mask, seemingly still in shock.
Zhang Songfu hurriedly stepped forward and looked at the map on the ground.
Jiang Xiao's drawing level was very low, with lines one after another, and the terrain was marked with Chinese characters above.
Moreover, the proportions of the map were different before and after. Obviously, Jiang Xiao drew the lines more finely when he was drawing just now, but then, the lines became smoother.
Jiang Xiao stopped in the middle of the white ghost skin and pointed to the area on the right, saying, "That area is complete. Starting from the middle, there are two identical areas on the left. I drew them small, but those two areas are as large as the detailed area on the right, and the terrain is exactly the same."
Zhang Songfu frowned slightly and said, "So, three identical areas constitute the snowfield of this upper dimension?"
Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "That's right! This should be the boundary.
I think that when I was flying in the area on the left, when I reached a certain position, I should have crossed the boundary and returned to the area on the right."
Jiang Xiao thought silently, "Wait a moment, I drew it too roughly, let me find the overlapping point."
Zhang Songfu directly rolled up the map, exposing the map outside, end to end, and said, "Look for it like this."
Only Jiang Xiao could understand this topographic map. Otherwise, Zhang Songfu could also help.
Jiang Xiao held one side of the white ghost skin, knelt on the ground, and moved forward slowly.
Cang Lan finally spoke, "You... never changed direction, and flew back?"
Jiang Xiao smiled, and on the weird circle mask, the curvature of the lines was slightly distorted, "Five months, is it long?"
"Let go, Yuan Yuan." Cang Lan pulled away Yuan Yuan's little hand that was holding her long hair tightly, took a deep breath, and calmed down.
Lure Jiang Xiao's movements stopped slightly, and said, "I can only fly, fast, with a good view, and without any star beasts disturbing me. If it were you, you could also find it... Found it, here!"
The front was exposed, and the rolled-up white ghost skin was overlapping, one side was the beautifully outlined and winding cliff boundary, and the other side was a vertical line...
Zhang Songfu took the map and directly tore off the overlapping terrain in the back half, leaving only the overlapping boundary line.
Zhang Songfu stroked his chin and said, "We can't determine the exact location where you were teleported back. Did you feel anything when you were teleported?"
Jiang Xiao was helpless in his heart, and shook his head with a wry smile, "No, I didn't feel anything."
He was kidding. For five full months, all he saw was a vast white forest and snowfield. If the terrain hadn't changed and Jiang Xiao needed to stop to make a map, he might have really gotten lost.
Hu Wei said tremblingly, "Did you find the exit?"
Suddenly, the room fell into silence.
Jiang Xiao was silent for a long time and said, "I'm sorry."
Hu Wei sighed softly. Reason told him not to sigh, but emotionally, he reacted like this.
Even if the hope was slim, it still hurt when it was extinguished.
So, what's the use of the terrain overlapping?
What's the use of finding the boundary of the teleportation?
Wouldn't they still be imprisoned in this vast snowfield for the rest of their lives...
The hearts of Hu Wei and Cang Lan were really strong enough. They didn't say these words.
They knew that they were not qualified to blame anyone, but as emotional people, they couldn't suppress their disappointment.
But Jiang Xiao said, "This place is not infinitely large. The terrain overlaps, which means I can find you."
Cang Lan was holding the child, holding a stone bowl in her hand, came to Jiang Xiao, handed it to Jiang Xiao, and said softly, "You have already found us. You have worked hard enough. Have some water and rest."
This time, Jiang Xiao opened his mouth.
To be precise, he opened the mask and drank the water melted from the snow.
In an instant, everyone was stunned.
Jiang Xiao returned the stone bowl to Cang Lan, and said, "What I mean is that I can find you again if I enter here again."
Cang Lan took the stone bowl, widened her eyes, and looked at Jiang Xiao, her dry lips trembling slightly, "You..."
Jiang Xiao waved his hand casually and said, "You all have your own speculation and your own theories. There is no need to say more. I only ask you one question."
Hu Wei hurriedly stood up and said, "What question?"
Jiang Xiao: "What do you want?"
Dong... Dong...
Cang Lan's hand loosened, the stone bowl fell on the ground, rolled around, and made a few muffled sounds.
"Don't worry, I'll stay here for a day." Jiang Xiao put his arm around Zhang Songfu's shoulder and walked outside.
As smart as Zhang Songfu was, he had already realized what was about to happen.
Zhang Songfu never realized that the winding path from the stone room to the entrance of the cave was so long, and every footstep seemed to step into Zhang Songfu's heart.
What was coming would always come.
Zhang Songfu, who had stayed here for many years, thought he had seen through the world.
He never thought that he would have a day to accept "judgment".
Zhang Songfu stood at the entrance of the cave, his tiger eyes mixed with desire and anxiety, staring at the circle mask.
However, since Jiang Xiao said the first sentence, hot tears had already poured out of Zhang Songfu's eyes, crying like a child, sobbing.
"Auntie is very good, she has retired, likes to dance in the square, likes to participate in the rookie group, and go to farmhouses to play..."
"Uncle is also very healthy, very strong, and drank three jars of white wine with me. I was being a rascal and drank one less cup..."
