The wind was getting stronger.
The fog in the valley was dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the scenery in the valley became faintly discernible, some people rushed in impatiently. After discovering that the thin fog was not harmful to the human body,
More and more people walked in.
Evening Song watched the people of the Rising Sun Alliance enter the valley in a single file.
He looked at Night Bar sitting beside him and said, "So Huo Yang already knew that death in the game would harm the body … Did he warn you before?"
"I've already taken the bell back.
There's no reason to snatch Jingyan's jade scroll. "
Night Bar did not answer. He stood up and said, "If you get other jade scrolls,
You can inform me if I find one.
I'll also inform you … Let's part ways here. "
Night Bar got on the horse and Evening Song grabbed the reins.
He glared at Ye Lan with a hint of anger in his eyes.
He said in a low voice, "I thought you had already agreed to my proposal."
"So?"
Evening Song said coldly, "You took the skill book and equipment. I also helped you to reach the highest level … But you want to leave after taking revenge. What's the difference between you and Jingyan? Do you think the Iron Blood is so easy to cheat? "
"It's not cheating.
Because, "Night Bar said quietly," I can read jade scrolls. "
So he helped them to read jade scrolls. They tried their best to fulfill all his wishes.
This was the content of the contract.
Evening Song paused for a moment before he understood the meaning of the young man's words.
He was originally skeptical about this matter.
However, when she heard this sentence from Ye Lan again, she was stunned.
There was almost no doubt in his heart. This young man disdained to cheat people.
"Let go."
The young man's cold voice came. Evening Song took a deep breath. Although he knew that the young man could not see, he still looked up and looked directly into his eyes. He said, "If I did anything to make you unhappy just now, I apologize."
Looking at the young man's attitude before, he did not object to acting with them. But he suddenly wanted to leave. This was probably the only reason.
Seeing that the young man pursed his lips and did not speak, Evening Song no longer pretended to be stupid. He sighed and said, "If you don't like to hear it, I won't mention him in the future."
He had always been domineering. This sentence was a rare concession.
"Why do you keep instigating me and Huo Yang?"
The young man's calm...........................
........................................................................
"In order for you to see his true colors."
.........................
................................................................
....... Did he mean that he had to interfere in his business?
"Why?"
Evening Song said indifferently, "Because I won't allow anyone with bad intentions to stay by your side."
He paused and said in a low voice, "We can't afford to pay this price."
His words were heavy. Night Bar was unmoved. He said coldly, "What do you mean by bad intentions? Because you think Huo Yang is using me? Does that count as bad intentions? What about you? If I had no value and was just a useless blind man, would you even look at me? "
Evening Song was speechless.
"When he chased away those bad boys for the first time and helped me up from the ground, I was a useless blind man. I lived alone in the dark, relying on the government's help. I lived like a rat in the gutter …
"For something that you've never gotten before, you're already overjoyed just by having a little bit of it. Why would you care if what he gives you is comparable to what you've sacrificed? Why would you care if you're first, second, third, or insignificant in his heart? Why would you care if he's using you more than he's sincere …"
You met by chance. Why should you ask that person to value you more than anything else? You could only be extremely glad that you were still useful.
Looking at the cold and lonely teenager, Evening Song was silent.
There were some things that this teenager didn't think of, but he didn't dare to think about. But he thought he was righteous. He dug out these old things one by one and poked the teenager's scars until they were dripping blood.
"Sorry."
Night Bar said too many words all at once. He was not used to it. He pursed his lips and didn't speak anymore.
Seeing that Night Bar didn't answer, Evening Song didn't mention the previous topic. He said, "There are strange beasts, minerals, and elixirs in the Miasma-Free Valley. There are also ancient ruins. Maybe you can find the Jade Slip. It's inconvenient for you to move alone. We also need your ability. Why don't we go together?"
"I've been online for seven days. I'm going to eat something. I can wait for you."
This was a tacit consent to Evening Song's proposal. Evening Song nodded. Suddenly he remembered something and said, "Wait …"
But he saw the teenager's voice slowly fade away. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. He told the people below and hurriedly went offline.
*****
Night Bar slowly woke up from a deep sleep, but he didn't feel the familiar softness. The soft touch under his body and the clear breath at the tip of his nose were very strange. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to grope, but it was held by a big hand. Evening Song's familiar voice came, "Awake?"
"Where is this place?"
Evening Song easily lifted the teenager out of the life-sustaining cabin and put him on the ground, "My home … Our home."
Night Bar was stunned for a moment before he realized what had happened. These people actually stole him from his home while he was playing … Or was it kidnapping?
Evening Song said, "I was going to tell you, but you left too fast."
That's not the point at all!
Night Bar didn't say a word and turned on his brain.
Evening Song hurriedly held his wrist, "What are you doing?"
"Call the police."
Evening Song said, "This is your home. Why call the police?"
"Why is this my home?!"
Evening Song said, "The day I picked you up, I had already gone through the adoption procedures … Because my social reputation is good, it was approved very quickly. Now we are real brothers in the legal sense. "
Night Bar said angrily, "Don't you need my consent for such a thing as adoption?"
Evening Song said, "The adoption procedures have been sent to your brain. If you don't object within three days, it means that you have agreed."
Seeing Night Bar's face turn red with anger, he explained, "It's just to ensure your safety. This is a legal society. As long as you don't break the law, no one can restrict your freedom …"
"The law is a basic education course. You should be very clear that there are no restrictions on the adoptee. They can unilaterally end the adoption relationship at any time before they reach adulthood … If you want to call the police, it's actually just a matter of one more procedure." This was also the reason why the confirmation procedures for the adoptee were so simple, because they could go back on their word at any time.
Night Bar gradually calmed down. In fact, he should have thought of it earlier. These people kept saying "this is very important" over and over again. Even in the game, they couldn't wait to tie him to their side. How could they leave him to fend for himself outside in the real world?
Evening Song said again, "No one has the intention to restrict your freedom. If you can read the jade slip, all of us will have to live under your nose in the future. How would we dare to restrain you? If you can't do it, why should we restrain you? Why don't you just ask the government to change your room? "
Seeing that Night Bar had finally calmed down, Evening Song was relieved. He led him to the sofa and sat down, saying, "Let's eat first, and then I'll take you to each room."
"Why do I have to adopt?"
To ensure his safety, adoption was absolutely not a necessary means. Adoption was not a joke. In order to protect the rights of minors, there were almost no restrictions on the adoptee. However, there were a lot of restrictions on the adoptee, and there was no room for regret. In other words, from the moment the adoption relationship was confirmed, even if Evening Song wanted to kick him out, he didn't have the right to do so.
Evening Song didn't answer, saying, "Scientists say that after coming out of the game, half an hour of deep sleep is good for the body to recover. Your life pod is set up like this … Just now when you were sleeping, I went to cook some porridge. You can eat it now."
Then he got up and went to the kitchen. After a while, he came out with two small bowls.
He also wanted to know why, from the first time he saw this boy in the video, he was so obsessed with him that he wanted to bring him home and raise him … and then he really did bring him home.
Evening Song lifted the lid of the bowl, and a rich and seductive aroma filled the air. Suddenly, it occupied all of Night Bar's mind, and even his previous displeasure was thrown to the back of his mind.
"What is this?"
Evening Song put a spoon into the bowl and stirred it. Then he pushed the bowl in front of Night Bar, saying, "Vegetable porridge. It's a little hot. Eat it after it cools."
Night Bar took the spoon and stirred it like Evening Song. An even more rich aroma floated out.
Night Bar scooped a spoonful, blew on it twice, and put it in his mouth. It was hot, very hot, hot, and fragrant.
Although it was so hot that his mouth hurt, he couldn't even bear to open his mouth. It was fragrant and soft, and it melted in his mouth. It was mixed with the fresh smell of plants. It was a taste he had never tasted before.
Evening Song said, "Your stomach is too weak now. You can only eat this for the time being. When you get used to it, I'll make something else for you."
Night Bar didn't say anything. He focused on the bowl of porridge in front of him.
Looking at the boy's focused expression, Evening Song sighed softly and said, "I heard that hundreds of years ago, vegetable porridge was the most common food. Even the poorest people could eat it until they were full every day. At that time, there were more than ten Chinese cuisines, thousands of ingredients, hundreds of spices … Everyone could eat delicious and steaming food every day.
"Let's not talk about the past. Even 30 years ago, even if you were on relief, you could still get a few kilograms of rice and vegetables every month. During festivals, you could even eat meat … But now, many people only know the taste of nutrient fluids."
"Why?" Night Bar finally looked up from the porridge bowl. "Because there are more and more people on relief?"
"No," Evening Song said, "It's because our planet is becoming more and more barren.
"It was originally rich, beautiful, and full of vitality. But during the period when human industry was developing at its fastest pace, it slowly changed. People soon discovered the changes and began to do their best to save it. Pollution control, returning farmland to forests, greening the desert … But it was useless. It was still deteriorating day by day. Just like an old man on the verge of death, no matter how much you try to save him, his body is getting worse day by day.
"Until now, scientists are still trying to find ways to study species, hoping to restore the ecological balance. They are rushing into space, hoping to find a planet that can accommodate us … But it's useless. They can't even see hope. We can only try our best to reduce our losses to this world to prolong our lives … This includes eating nutrient fluids that are strictly mixed and have no wastage at all. "
Night Bar's attention had been diverted from the porridge. He asked, "Why aren't these things in the textbooks?"
"This is not a secret. You will learn it when you join the workforce. As for those who rely on relief all their lives, instead of needlessly panicking, it's better to let them scold the government for being harsh and incompetent. "
"What about the Foreign Lands? What does this have to do with the Foreign Lands? "
Evening Song thought for a moment and said, "After people enter the Foreign Lands, their bodies will enter a state similar to hibernation, and their losses will be greatly reduced … Does this count as a connection?"
"Liar."
"It is indeed a lie." Evening Song said, "Now, I can only tell you that the Foreign Lands, to us, are like a ray of light that a person trapped in a cave who is on the verge of death sees. No one knows whether it is an exit full of sunlight or the eyes of a ferocious beast reflecting a fierce light … The only thing we can do is to rush forward without hesitation. That's all. "
Night Bar frowned and did not say anything.
Evening Song said, "Okay, the food is cold. Hurry up and eat!"
