As the torrent of shock surged past, Zhang Haomin was swept away without speaking for a long time. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. He just froze in place, staring at Xiaoyao in a daze. His straight eyes made Xiaoyao feel deep in his heart.

Straight hair.

"Time travel? What does this mean?"

Zhang Haomin, who gradually calmed down, didn't want to talk at all at this time. He originally wanted to see Xiaoyao's joke, but unexpectedly, he didn't see his joke, but he saw his own joke, and he really wanted to cry without tears.

"You mean, that the world has always been like this?"

"yes."

"Then why are they avoiding me like the plague? And they call me a lunatic."

"It would be weird if I didn't hide from you. Look at what you are wearing."

"Clothes, what else can I wear?"

Zhang Haomin muttered and looked down at his clothes. He understood what he was saying just halfway through. The people here were all wearing coarse linen clothes and turbans, looking full of retro style. No, for him

In other words, they are like ancient people.

But he was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, sweatpants, and a pair of sneakers that couldn't be identified as sneakers even if they were soaked in the mud. Among them, he was an out-and-out alien. No wonder people were avoiding him.

.

"Do you have any money on you?"

Looking at Zhang Haomin's longing eyes, Xiaoyao really couldn't bear to refuse him, but after all, he had just escaped from the chessboard, so where did he get the money?

"I do not have money."

"What? You have no money? So what will we eat tonight and where will we stay?"

"I don't need to eat."

"Then it saves you the trouble, but what about me? What should I do?"

Xiaoyao felt that this was indeed a problem, but after thinking about the forest, he said.

"There are quite a lot of wild animals and fruits in the forest, which should be enough for you to eat."

"Wild things? Wild fruits?"

When Zhang Haomin thought of eating those wild animals, he couldn't help but feel a chill, his head almost shook like a rattle, and he firmly disagreed.

"I don't want it. There may not be any viruses on those things. If they are not treated properly and are not killed, and they are infected with me again, won't it make me die young? Don't, don't, don't."

"Virus? What is that? Why do you always say such weird words?"

"Don't worry about that for now. We have to find a way to get some money quickly, otherwise we will be hungry tonight, and we haven't found a place to live yet. We can't sleep on the street."

The more Zhang Haomin talked, the angrier he became. He looked at his clothes again and cursed, "Damn, you don't even look like that."

If you don’t have any such clothes, how can you get along?”

So the two of them wandered around the streets one after another, preparing to find a job that could make a living. It didn't matter how much they paid, as long as they could provide food and accommodation. However, even though the requirements were so low, four or five people in a row still came to them.

Rejected.

"Shopkeeper, are you looking for apprentices here?"

This is the last blacksmith shop at the end of the street. Zhang Haomin thought that although he had no other skills, he was still strong. Maybe he could find a job as an apprentice handyman here, which would be a good livelihood.

.

"you?"

"Yes, that's me."

Zhang Haomin was very happy at this time, because finally someone stopped treating him as a lunatic and just blasted him away without saying a word.

The shopkeeper looked at Zhang Haomin, and then at Xiaoyao who was standing behind Zhang Haomin. He couldn't feel any vitality from these two people, so he said disdainfully.

"Can you, with your thin arms and legs, do this job?"

"How will you know if you can do something if you don't try it?"

Zhang Haomin is not stupid. Why can't he see the contempt in the shopkeeper's eyes? But now he has no money and no way to make money. For today's dinner and accommodation, he can only swallow his anger.

The shopkeeper pointed at the iron lock behind the door and said nonchalantly: "You can try lifting it."

After saying that, he lowered his head again and compared the accounts on the table.

This iron lock looks very heavy, especially for someone like Zhang Haomin who has not practiced yet. He cannot move it, let alone lift it.

So Zhang Haomin had no choice but to leave in disgrace. After leaving the shop, looking at the endless flow of people on the street and the sunset, he suddenly felt very confused.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I have no talent at all, so where should I find a job?

Moreover, it was getting dark now, and his stomach was growling with hunger, but he had not yet found a place to stay, and a seed of decadence was taking root in his heart.

"Why are people so good at time traveling? Either they were born into wealth or they are gifted. I'm the only one, not to mention where to live, and I can't even afford food. Why?"

The more I talked, the more I felt aggrieved. Looking at this strange world, my big tears started to flow, and I couldn't control it.

Xiaoyao couldn't bear it, so she walked to Zhang Haomin, patted his shoulder gently, and said: "How can a man shed tears so easily? There is always a way, not to mention I'm here.

."

Zhang Haomin looked at Xiaoyao with tears in his eyes, like a drowning man seeing a life-saving straw. This strange and indifferent world

In the world, only Xiaoyao can bring him a little bit of warmth and peace of mind.

"But."

"It's nothing to worry about. Just wait for me here for a while. I'll be back soon."

As soon as he heard that Xiaoyao was about to leave, Zhang Haomin immediately grabbed his arm, fearing that he would abandon her and never come back.

The sky had darkened, and the gorgeous glow was about to be swallowed up by the night, leaving only a wisp of breeze blowing along the street to the end of the alley, making Zhang Haomin, who was already wearing thin clothes, shiver.

"If you want to leave, can you take me with you?"

Xiaoyao looked at Zhang Haomin's pitiful appearance and suddenly burst out laughing.

"I definitely can't take you with me, but I promise I'll be back soon. After all, you are my savior."

But no matter what Xiaoyao said, Zhang Haomin just refused to let go. Seeing that he was about to cry, make trouble, and hang himself, Xiaoyao had no choice but to recite a spell, which temporarily immobilized Zhang Haomin.

"Just wait a little while, I promise to be back soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoyao disappeared in a flash, leaving Zhang Haomin alone, standing alone, still maintaining the previous posture.

At this time, he couldn't even move his arms or legs, he couldn't even say a simple word, no, I should say he could only hum, and couldn't say a word.

Unable to move, he gradually calmed down. He could clearly feel the coolness brought by the wind sliding over his skin. He could smell the steaming aroma of rice wafting from a certain house. This strange world was becoming more and more strange.

reality.

From the beginning, that absurd and bizarre game of chess, to a white-bearded old man with great supernatural powers, to a man transformed from a chess piece, and even at this moment, in this Qingshui Town full of ancient customs, all of these are...

It no longer seems like a dream.

He can no longer recall his past life, the place he once lived, the friends he once knew, and even less who his parents are.

All he remembered was the metropolis with its tall buildings, the streets with neon lights, and the Internet world that everyone was addicted to.

Gradually, he is no longer afraid of this strangeness, nor is he afraid of this loneliness. Now that he has traveled here, he does not expect to be like the protagonists in those novels, who can reach the sky in one step and fight in all directions.

He just wants to live seriously, to feel the beauty of this new world seriously, and to find the life of cultivating immortals that he dreams of.

"I want to become an immortal, I want to become an immortal, I want to become an immortal!"
