There are still three doors in front of me.
But the golden light of the door in front of her had dimmed, proving that she had successfully escaped from the world of the first door.
When I think of my own misunderstanding before leaving——
Unexpectedly, it wasn’t a soul traveling through time.
So what will happen to Yu Jiuchen in that world after I leave?
"Congratulations on your return." The long-lost voice of an old man suddenly came from the air, interrupting her thoughts.
Su Changzhao comforted himself in his heart: Never mind, I don’t belong to that world originally, and I can’t stay there. Now that I’m back, I shouldn’t think about it anymore. The most urgent thing is to pass the test of the three doors.
"Old man, I told you I would be back, open the next door quickly."
Su Changzhao was about to walk towards the second door.
The old man hurriedly said, "Don't you need to take a break? Although to me, you just came back in a flash, but to you, it's a life experience. Don't you need to slowly reenter?"
Su Changzhao said energetically, "No need. I don't like to drag things out. It's best to finish everything in one go so that I can take my Ah Heng away."
"..." The invisible old man in the air was speechless, "Well, okay."
When the second door that Su Changzhao was heading towards opened, the old man reminded him, "It's still the same rule. When the red moon appears, you must reach the place where you were at the beginning before you can come back. Before that, you cannot die. Otherwise, you and your lover will be trapped here forever."
"I know~" Su Changzhao waved his hand, and he had already disappeared into the golden light inside the door.
After Su Changzhao left, the old man's perspective switched to Yu Jiuchen who was frozen in the ice.
At this time, Yu Jiuchen's eyes were closed, and his handsome face seemed to be asleep without any expression.
It was just that the moment Su Changzhao came out of the first door, many memories that did not belong to him suddenly flooded into his mind——
These were all what Su Changzhao and he had experienced in the first door.
Including the suffering he endured for another long time after Su Changzhao disappeared...
That night in front of the lotus pond, he was unwavering in his faith: "Long move, I'll wait for you."
Afterwards, he couldn't find Su Changzhao and asked: "Changzhao, Changzhao... where on earth did you go?"
After searching for three years, he got drunk and said: "Su Changzhao, you lied to me!!"
He was sick with longing for her, lying on his sickbed with his eyes closed. He was only thirty years old at that time and said: "Chang Mo... you finally let me down..."
A tear fell from the corner of the eye.
The teardrops sparkled with golden light, flew out of the palace, and flew higher and higher towards the sky.
It was like a fragment of soul returning, flying out of the door towards him in the ice in an instant.
Seeing Yu Jiuchen in the ice also shed a tear, the old man sighed.
"Ah, what an injustice..."
·
Inside the second door.
There was a moment of trance, and then return to consciousness.
Su Changzhao woke up suddenly.
With the experience from last time.
This time she thought she would be able to adapt quickly.
Who knows——
When she saw the scene clearly, she felt that... she might not be able to adapt to it.
Looking at the naked old men standing under the courtyard wall, Su Changzhao was speechless.
The original owner of this world is so damn heavy-handed!
It’s bad enough to peek at a man taking a bath, but she also watches an old man taking a bath. Oh my god, it’s an eye-opener!
When she thought about having to squat here every day in the future and taking the risk of being discovered by these old men, she wanted to die, didn't she?
Next second.
As her memory merged with the original owner's, she finally understood what was going on.
The original owner of this world was also called Su Changzhao.
Born in a time of war, he saw starving people everywhere when he was a child, experienced fleeing from famine, and depended on his mother for survival.
However, a flood caused her to lose her only relative in the world.
As she grew up, her beautiful face became a threat. In order to avoid being targeted by unscrupulous people, she always dressed as a man. When necessary, she would even smear dust on her face to deceive the other party.
Because of an encounter, she discovered that she had a photographic memory.
And he can copy what he has seen in detail and vividly.
A vendor who specialized in selling storybooks in the wild market took a fancy to her skills.
In this way, until she grew up, she made a living by illustrating in picture books.
In recent times, Long Yang's collection of paintings has been very popular.
So the vendor forced her to come here every day to find inspiration.
The vendor didn't know that she was a woman.
In order to obtain materials and successfully create works that can make a lot of money, she can only climb the wall here.
This is why the original owner came to peek at the man taking a bath late at night.
I thought there would be a few young people in the men's bath, but after looking for a long time, I saw only old men.
Seeing this, Su Changzhao laughed in his heart.
After watching for a while, she jumped down from the wall because she was afraid of getting stye if she watched too much.
He wasn't very tall to begin with, but he was so clumsy that he fell flat on his face.
He got up and cursed: "Fuck you..." He looked at his hands in disbelief, "Where is my martial arts? Could it be that I don't have any martial arts in this body?"
He dragged his aching leg back to his residence cursing.
I originally wanted to go to bed early, but then I remembered that tomorrow is the deadline for submitting the drawings.
Su Changzhao scratched his head in annoyance: "If I had martial arts skills, I wouldn't have to be afraid of those people, and I could even ask for the royalties I received."
Yes, she worked hard to paint, but she could only get a little money for each painting.
Knowing that he was being exploited, the original owner could do nothing about it.
Her eyes fell on the papers on the desk. She thought about not submitting the manuscript on time and not even having a pitiful amount of money, which would mean she would have to starve again.
Make up your mind.
Forget it, just draw.
Anyway, just make sure you stay alive before the red moon appears.
With this thought in mind, she actually painted all night.
She didn't know what was going on.
As soon as she concentrated, the image of the man taking a bath seemed to be frozen in her mind, and her hands moved involuntarily, and she would not stop until the painting was finished.
Wait until she comes to her senses.
It's already daybreak outside.
Wait for her to look back at the picture on the page.
Damn, that's an eyesore.
They are all old men, no matter how well they draw, they can’t be sexy.
So she could only process it as appropriate.
By the time the changes were completed, the sun was already high in the sky.
The unscrupulous merchants who collected the drawings also came.
Su Changzhao put on her coat immediately. Although she was already wearing men's clothes, every time a merchant came, she would add a few more layers of clothing, for fear that the merchant would be cunning and figure out that she was a woman.
When the black-hearted merchant came in, he first glanced at Su Changzhao and found that her pretty face was tired. Then he asked, "Didn't you sleep all night?"
Su Changzhao smiled: "Yes."
"Thank you for your hard work. Once this book is sold and you make some money, you can go back to the countryside and buy a piece of land and live a good life."
After hearing his words, Su Changzhao thought to himself: Forget it, you've said this kind of thing so many times, it's probably just enough to fool the original owner, that silly girl.
When the merchant saw the paintings that Su Changzhao placed on the table, greed could not help but appear on his face. He had a hunch that he would make a lot of money once this Longyang painting collection was published.
But Su Changzhao must not know about this.
If she earns money and goes back to the countryside, there will be no one to make money for him in the future.
"Not bad," the black-hearted merchant nodded, "but there are some shortcomings." He pulled out a page and pointed at it with his finger, "Look here, two young and strong men should be like me, strong and powerful. Why did you draw them so hunched and loose? It's not beautiful enough?"
Su Changzhao stretched his head and looked at the place he pointed, with disdain in his heart:
Isn't the old man just hunched and sagging? It's good enough that I didn't give you a few age spots~
