Chapter 50 Parallel World
Although the guesthouse was very simple, the bed was made of wood and was flat, with a thin quilt on it, so one could have a comfortable night's sleep on it. This was the first time Yike slept in a real bed after traveling through time. She had been here for almost a year, but she still didn't feel like she had integrated into this era. She didn't feel at ease at all, as if she was in a survival story in the wild. She felt very uneasy. The quilt and pillow that smelled of soap and the creaking bed, Yike finally woke up from his fantasy of survival in the wild. He realized that he had really come to this strange world and could never go back.
After coming out of the mountains this time, I found out that this is definitely not the same world as before. The names of major cities and capitals in this world are different, the names of countries are different, and the names of leaders are different. Although many major events remain the same, the timing seems to be wrong. This is a world parallel to the original world, and it is also a strange world. The relatives and friends from the previous life no longer exist in this world, and her husband does not exist in this life either. She still hopes to have the opportunity to visit the place where her husband was born in the previous life. If possible, she will protect him to grow up happily in this life and prevent him from being hurt by his so-called relatives.
When I think of this, I can't help but feel sad. Does the time-travel god want me to go through 81 difficulties like Tang Monk did when he went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures? Now come and experience it for yourself.
"Wow! It's so hard for me!" Yike's nose felt sore and tears fell from her eyes one by one. The sparkling tears fell on the pillow, and the white pillowcase was suddenly stained with water color.
This was the scene Ziyi saw when he came in: Yike was in tears, sobbing, and curled up alone on the bed like a wounded kitten.
"What's wrong? Are you crying? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Or did someone bully you?" Ziyi asked nervously, wiping the tears from Yike's face in a hurry.
"I thought of the past and my sister." Yike threw herself into Ziyi's arms. Thinking of herself living like a savage in a cave and the fact that the happy and pampered days of her previous life were no longer there, she cried heartily in Ziyi's arms.
"What's going on? Ziyi, did you bully Yike?" Li Haoran also walked in, and seeing the sad Yike, he couldn't help but blame Ziyi.
"I didn't. She started crying when I came in." Ziyi hugged her in his arms and cried so hard that his eyes turned red and he felt extremely upset.
"No, no, Uncle Hao, I just suddenly wanted to cry. Don't blame Brother Ziyi." Yike explained while crying. She couldn't let Ziyi be misunderstood.
"Tell us if you have any problem. Don't keep it in your heart. We will all help you. You should know that we are all your family." Li Haoran comforted.
"Okay! I got it. Thank you, Uncle Hao." Yike said with sobs.
"Okay, good boy, stop crying, wash your face and have breakfast."
Ziyi took a wash basin and filled it with water. He put the towel in the water and rubbed it, wrung out the water, and handed it to Yike, "Wipe it. Uncle Hao bought some steamed buns. We'll go home after we're full. Don't cry, I'll take you hunting when we get home." Yike wiped his face, washed his hands, tilted his face up, opened his eyes, which were red and swollen, and his nose was also red. Ziyi kissed Yike's red and swollen eyes and whispered, "You still have me. I will treat you well for the rest of my life. Let's see if there is a chance next time we go out. Let's go and see your sister secretly."
"You are the only one I have. You must treat me well! Of course, I will treat you well, too." Yike's heavy nasal voice after crying made her words unclear, but Ziyi still heard them clearly. He was happy and said as if to make a promise: "I will treat you well for the rest of my life. I swear!"
Yike burst out laughing, how funny! But Yike's heart is still sweet.
"Come, eat the steamed buns, they are delicious." Seeing that Yike was in a good mood, Ziyi handed the steamed bun to her and started eating it himself.
"A man's mouth is like a tiger's mouth." This sentence describes Ziyi now. As soon as he stuffed a fist-sized steamed bun into his mouth, it disappeared in an instant. He stuffed another steamed bun in right after that. Seven or eight steamed buns were eaten up by him in the blink of an eye, and he hadn't even swallowed the second steamed bun yet.
Ziyi awkwardly handed the remaining two steamed buns to Yike and said, "Eat slowly, I'm full, I'll go pack up."
"Hey, don't go!" Yike grabbed Ziyi and said, "I'm full too. You can eat these two." Yike stuffed the steamed buns into Ziyi's mouth without saying a word.
"Ziyi, you need to eat more so that you can have the strength to carry me when we go back."
"I can carry it. I don't feel tired even if I carry it every day." Ziyi swallowed the steamed bun, and Yike stuffed another one in.
"The sun is shining in the sky, the trees are smiling at me, the birds are saying okay, my brother is carrying his wife on his back, and they are going home together. My aunt is smiling at home, and my uncle is happy!" In the forest, Yike lies on Ziyi's back, happily singing a song he made up.
Li Haoran was carrying a snakeskin bag on his back, and he felt happy when he saw Ziyi and the other two happy.
Li Haoran was carrying more than 100 kilograms of weight on his back and a plow on his shoulders, and he was walking briskly.
Yike: "Brother Ziyi, do you think Auntie misses us at home? But I know Uncle Hao must be missing Auntie, look how fast Uncle Hao walked."
"You are so brave that you even dare to make fun of Uncle Hao." Ziyi lifted Yike's legs up.
"Hehe," Yike reached out and touched Ziyi's head, laughing, "Our Ziyi is so well-behaved." The tips of Ziyi's ears turned red instantly.
Perhaps because I was eager to go home, the journey back seemed shorter. It took two and a half days to get out of the mountain and only two days to go back. In total, it took half a day for Li Haoran, Ziyi and Yike to follow the sun and return home.
The three of them crawled out of Tunnel No. 1 and stepped into the paradise. The red firelight illuminated their eyes and warm air blew towards them. Along with the warm air, their dear aunt Zhang Yuling also came up.
It turned out that Aunt Zhang Yuling was adding firewood to the fire. When she heard the footsteps, she saw Ziyi and the other two coming back. She excitedly dropped the firewood and ran over.
Zhang Yuling hugged Yike and said happily: "You're back! You're back! It's good that you're back! How was your trip outside? Are you hurt? Are you cold? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" The aunt checked Yike from head to toe, then looked at Li Haoran and Ziyi, and asked him a series of questions.
"Don't worry, auntie, everyone is fine." Ziyi replied.
"Auntie, I miss you so much! I miss you so much that my stomach is flat, and it's empty enough to hold a cow." She said while acting coquettishly.
"There is soup, vegetables, and my baked sweet potato pancakes in the kitchen. They're a little small, so you can fill your stomachs first." Aunt Zhang Yuling took Yike to the kitchen, then turned around and said to Li Haoran and Ziyi, "Put the things here for now, I'll clean up later, you can eat first. I thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow, so I didn't prepare any meals for you. I didn't expect you to come back so soon. It seems that your trip went smoothly this time." Uncle Hao and aunt brought the food and soup to the table.
Yi Ke didn't care whether the soup was hot or not. He just took a big gulp when he brought it to his mouth. He hadn't had anything warm to drink for two days and he felt like he was turning into a popsicle. As soon as I drank the soup, I could feel the popsicle melting and feeling warm and comfortable.
