The fast travel is too late

Chapter 6

Xin Wu has been hiding quietly among the leaves. The woman underneath looks very nervous, hiding behind her elder, not even daring to raise her head.

The atmosphere under the tree suddenly became condensed, and the original chatter and laughter disappeared, replaced by silence.

Cen Yan has never said anything about his family.In fact, Xin Wu stayed at his house for more than ten days, and he never heard Cen Yan say anything about his parents.She looked at the layout of Cen Yan's house. There were things used by other people, such as clothes, but they were all piled up in one room. There was no bed in that room, and it didn't look like someone had lived in it.Xin Wu couldn't tell the origin of those things either.The most important thing is that in the past ten days, no one has been in Cen Yan's house, except for her, there is not even a bird, it seems to be isolated.

Those who sit and talk under the tree at this time don't have to do too much at home, so they have this free time.Normally, they don't pack up until the sun goes down and they have to go home and cook.

But in such a short time, several women packed up their things and prepared to go home.Xin Wu was a little anxious to stay on the tree, why was she about to go home?Don't even want to gossip?

Seeing that the companions not only did not intend to continue the conversation, but also wanted to leave in accordance with common sense, the woman who spoke just now had tears in her eyes and was about to cry.The elder in front of her looked back at her appearance, first frowned, then shook his head and sighed, looking very dissatisfied.

It was the people who were traveling with them who couldn't stand it anymore, stopped the person who was about to leave, and persuaded the woman not to cry.

"I said, sister, don't be angry. Brother Qing's family just got married and came to the village. How can she know so many things? There is nothing wrong with just asking her if you don't understand her!" An aunt in blue clothes picked up the He picked up the sole of her shoe, holding the needle in his right hand, and continued to hold the sole of her shoe.Xin Wu looked at her through the gap and found that she was the calmest of them all. She was neither afraid nor disgusted. She looked calm and even a little disapproving.

Her intuition told Xin Wu that this aunt would tell what she wanted to know.In fact, what happened next really verified Xin Wu's intuition.

The women who had stood up holding their things all sat back in embarrassment when they heard what the aunt said.One of them felt that he had lost face, so he replied unhappy.

"No matter what you say with that family, you are still related to each other. Of course you are not afraid! It's not like us. If we accidentally get stuck together, we will die without knowing how."

She still wanted to say something, but the person next to her pulled her clothes, so she fell silent.It's just that the eyeballs are still turning around, very unconvinced.

Glancing at the woman who spoke, the aunt put down the half-filled soles of her shoes, and said to Brother Qing's daughter-in-law, "Don't listen to their nonsense, there is no such thing at all."

Regardless of whether the people around were unconvinced, the aunt continued.

"The family living in the back of the village is somewhat related to my own family. The old man in his family is related to my uncle. Their family also lived in the village at first, but they moved to the back after something happened. , I don’t deal with the villagers very much. Those who are dead or alive are invisible things, just listen to their nonsense.”

Sighing, the aunt remembered what happened in the past, and couldn't help but feel sorry for them.

"The old man gave birth to a son who has been smart since he was a child, and he is good at studying. The masters of ethnology say that he is such a talented person that he will be the number one in the future. Who knows that the boy said he saw a fairy after he was seriously ill. , and kept talking about wanting to be a god, and stopped reading, and the whole person is crazy. Tsk tsk!" The aunt shook her head, "There are a lot of people who want to be a god, but a few of them have good results."

"People in the village see him as crazy, and many people who have nothing to do like to trick him into doing stupid things. But people have good backgrounds, and they are smarter than ordinary people when they are crazy. Those idlers not only did not deceive anyone, but also suffered a loss. They just We beat people up together."

"The old man saw that things were getting worse, so he built a new house behind the village and had less contact with people in the village. Later, the old man found a doctor from other places to cure his son's disease. But it may not have been completely cured. Well, his son changed his name to Cen Xian. The old man pressured his son to marry a wife, thinking that when his son is better, he won’t go to the trouble of seeking immortality, so let’s start a family first.”

"Cen Xian has been very responsible since he was a child. Marrying a daughter-in-law is also very good to his daughter-in-law. In less than two years, he gave birth to a big fat grandson for the old man. This is nothing, and it is not taboo. But ten The old man and his wife went away a few years ago, so Cen Xian will be in trouble."

"Cen Xian and his wife reconciled, and then ran away with some young people in the village, saying that they were going to seek immortality. Those young people were also fools. They believed Cen Xian as soon as he said it, and ran along with him. It's gone. As soon as he left, his son, that is, the grandson of the old man, will be miserable."

"The child was only five or six years old at the time, and there was no adult in the family. His father ran away, and his mother remarried after leaving. He didn't take him with him, but left him in the village. Everyone is from the same village. , the ancestors came from the same place, and they had a kind of love with the children. So they discussed how to take care of a few meals for the family, anyway, it was just a matter of adding some rice. But then something strange happened."

Speaking of this, the aunt frowned, not very happy.

"Somehow the families who take in children always have little trouble. It's just that they fall down more often while walking on the road, choke on their drinking glasses more often, and then some people say that the child is a broom star. That's it. If there are too many people, there will be no one to take care of the children.”

The aunt said unhappily, "Walking and wrestling is because he walked carelessly. It has nothing to do with other people's children. It's just that he doesn't want to raise someone who doesn't matter. If he doesn't raise it, he won't raise it. If he arranges it randomly and ruins his reputation, what is it?" thing?"

The woman who complained just now disagreed, "Why did I hear that it is different from you? Don't protect him just because he is a relative, and stop telling the truth."

"I heard that after the child's father and mother ran away, he ran to the back mountain for two days and two nights before returning. After returning, he was completely different. He was more naughty than his father, and he was dirty all day long. Yes. I heard that he is not crazy, but was possessed by a mountain spirit and came down to harm people. That guy used to have a wooden man with him, and he always talked to the wooden man. And I heard that the wooden man can not only I can walk and talk by myself, do you think it’s evil or not?”

Seeing the stunned looks of the people around her, the woman became even more interested in talking, and what she said was elated.

"You don't know. I heard what my mother-in-law said. The people in the village thought that the wooden man was evil. They burned the wooden man while the child was not paying attention. As a result, everyone became sick and almost died after returning home. Isn't this evil enough? If it hadn't been for Dong Dong If the village witch takes action, those people may really die. Even the witch said they were bewitched, so why do you think that child is not a witch?"

The people below were still talking, but Xin Wu didn't want to listen anymore. She wanted to go back.Suddenly I was very eager to see Cen Yan, to see that Cen Yan was safe and sound and everything was fine.

Xin Wu, who was worried about something in her heart, didn't stop all the way, she flapped her wings and flew back to the only family at the back of the village.Turning around in the yard a few times, she felt a little guilty.Before going out, she looked back, Cen Yan's expression was not very good, if she went back now, would Cen Yan still be angry?It's really a headache for the demon, she doesn't have much experience in coaxing people.

It was not an option to circle around the yard all the time. Xin Wu fell on the window sill, cautiously stretching his head to look in. The young man turned his back to her, and his motionless appearance looked familiar, as if he hadn't moved since she left. Pass.

If you want to bring something back from outside, treat it as if she went out to find a gift, so that Cen Yan will definitely be happy after receiving the gift, and forget about her running out when she is happy.

But she has been in this world for so many days, and she hasn't gone out for a good stroll. She doesn't know anything about the good things in the mountains.Maybe Cen Yan knows more than she does!

Xin Wu jumped up and down on the window sill, trying to make some noise to attract Cen Yan to take the initiative to look at it, but the person with his back to her was still facing her, as if he was trapped in his own world, not affected by the outside world at all. Interference, let alone notice the existence of others.

Are you really still angry?

Let's try to coax it, although I don't know if it will be successful.

After making up his mind, Xin Wu flew into the room, the sound of flapping wings was obvious, but Cen Yan still lowered his head, not even looking at the little fat bird hovering in the air.

Think about what the group of women under the tree said just now, even if it is mixed with half truth and half false, you can still know that Cen Yan's childhood life was not very good, Xin Wu paused slightly, feeling an indescribable sourness in his heart, The person in front of him should be the proud son of heaven, how could he have such a childhood?

The person she Xin Wu admits is destined to become a world-famous Yanshi. He should be admired by thousands of people in the future. Even if such a person was not very friendly in childhood, after meeting her, he will have smooth sailing and go straight to the blue sky. .

How can a person who is destined to become a big shot be held back by the past? An unprecedented sense of pride and ambition arises spontaneously. Xin Wu flies up to Cen Yan and lands on the table. Rubbed his hand with his head.

Speaking of which, Xin Wu's current state has a very easy-to-understand name, that is, playing chicken blood.

Although Cen Yan still didn't seem to have any reaction, Xin Wu, who had been staring at the opponent's eyes since the moment he fell, easily noticed that Cen Yan's eyes moved.

It was not a natural reaction after keeping the eyes open for a long time, but a real glance down.

When Xin Wu stared until his eyes were sore, Cen Yan finally moved.

Turning his right hand over, he stroked the hair on Xin Wu's back repeatedly, probably because Xin Wu's body was too small, so Cen Yan stopped after touching it a few times.

"I thought you weren't coming back?"

With indescribable fragility in her voice, Xin Wu's head, which had already been lowered, suddenly lifted up, but Cen Yan's movements were faster than her raising her head, and one hand directly covered Xin Wu's head.

It was pitch black in front of him, and naturally he couldn't guess whether the speaker's current expression was equally disappointed.

In Xin Wu's eyes, Cen Yan looked dangerous, but after actually getting along with him, she felt that Cen Yan was a very gentle person. Thinking of this, she didn't even think about trying to break free from the hand covering her head. With a big hand, she listened quietly, not at all worried that the other party would directly wring her neck.

Feeling that the little guy under him was obedient and did not move, Cen Yan didn't know whether it was gratification or regret for a moment, he was always challenging his bottom line, and he clearly promised to be obedient, but he still ran around and came back after dark .

The little guy was leaning on his hand, without any sense of danger, thinking in his heart that he should just kill him, but his movements were still cautious.

Obviously, the timing of its appearance is very strange, and its behavior is not like ordinary beasts.He has always been a suspicious person, but he can't be on guard against such a guy, and even wants to protect her from the bottom of his heart.The light in Cen Yan's eyes flickered, and finally froze for a moment.

It was almost dusk, the sun was about to set, and there were no lights in the study, so the light was dim and uncertain.

Tweeting, Xin Wu was a little confused why he stopped talking all of a sudden. Are you still worried that she will go out and wander so long that she won't come home?She won't do that, she has long made up her mind to stay by his side!

Lie down on the table, moved out of the range covered by the big hand little by little, Xin Wu blinked and found that Cen Yan's face was a little strange.It's eerie, a bit like when the villain's conspiracy is revealed in a TV series.Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Xin Wu shook his head, thinking that he had found the reason, maybe it was because the light was not good, it was blurry, it was no big deal.

In the end it was emotion that overwhelmed reason, Cen Yan suddenly relaxed, he had already experienced what he should have experienced, he was not even afraid of death, what in this world is he afraid of?Isn't it just a little chubby bird, you can raise it as soon as you raise it, are you afraid of her betrayal?Just pamper and protect, let's talk about the future.

Thinking this way, when he looked at the little fat bird again, Cen Yan's mood improved a lot, and he became a little more interested in talking about the things that happened a long time ago.

However, after looking at the sky outside the house, I saw that it was getting late and it was time to have dinner. Let’s talk about chatting after dinner.

So Xin Wu watched the person whose temperature around him seemed to have risen by three or four degrees to go out and turn left into the kitchen. Walking towards the study.

Wait, are you going to eat in the study today?

He watched helplessly as Cen Yan walked into the study, put down the bowl in his hand, lit the oil lamp on the table, and found a lampshade to cover the oil lamp.

After a busy day, he finally sat down quietly.

Seeing Cen Yan finish his bowl of rice silently without saying a word, Xin Wu felt as if he had gone to the wrong set.

Shouldn't you be angry?Did something just happen that she didn't know about?Why do I have to wash the dishes after eating suddenly?
Noticing that Xin Wu had been staring at the bowl where he was eating, Cen Yan also subconsciously looked at it for a long time, but didn't see anything wrong, so he nodded the little guy's head, ready to say something about the past thing.

"I really thought you would never come back after you left," Cen Yan forcefully attracted the little guy's attention, and then he talked about the previous events, "My father is all about seeking immortality, and since his grandparents passed away, he has been I can’t go back. My mother said she wanted to go back to her mother’s house to have a look, but she never came back. I thought you were the same as them.”

Speaking later, the voice became almost inaudible.

Without talking too much about the past, Cen Yan thought that maybe one day he would tell someone everything, but that was not the case now.

Cen Yan has always been a strong person, but after returning from the mountains and raising a bird, he learned a lot without a teacher.For example, if you say something different, you obviously don't like it very much in your heart, but you still take good care of a certain bird in actual actions.For example, the outside is not the same as the inside. He is obviously a person who likes to be willful and reckless, but after raising birds, he pretends to be a beast in clothes.And what he has just learned about showing weakness to the enemy, although a little chubby bird is not an enemy yet.

Looking at the astonishing light in the little fat bird's eyes, he knew that the effect of showing weakness to the enemy was not bad.

Of course, Xin Wu is not clear about these things, after all, she only knows some superficial things.

Although Cen Yan didn't talk much, he couldn't stand Xin Wu's brain power.Without accurate information, she only thought that Cen Yan was a little sheep. How could she know that some sheep were wolves in sheep's clothing.

In her opinion, Cen Yan lived alone when he was very young. Looking at the rejection behavior of those people in the village before, she also guessed that Cen Yan was also rejected when he was a child.It's so pitiful to think of the three-headed little Cen Yan hiding alone with no one to play with him.

A hand suddenly reached out and hooked her paw, and Xin Wu jumped out of his brain, seeing such a scene.She really doesn't understand, what are you doing grabbing her feet? Isn't shaking hands supposed to be holding wings?

"We will depend on each other for life from now on, okay?" Cen Yan took one of Xin Wu's paws and shook them back and forth twice, as if shaking hands.

"I'm Cen Shen, deep and shallow. By the way, you don't have a name. I'll get one for you. What do you think of Xiaopang?"

Before he had time to complain about Xiaopang's vulgar name, Xin Wu was startled by the other party's words, what is Cen Shen, and what is Shen Qian Shen, shouldn't it be called Cen Yan, Yanshi's Yan?The introduction on the spar was Cen Yan, and later it was confirmed that Cen Yan was the person she was looking for.But what the hell is Cen Shen?

Probably used to use the name!
Aren’t there many people in modern society who have previous names?But in the end, the ones that became more widely circulated were definitely the changed names.What's more, Cen Yan, ah no, it should be said to be Cen Shen. Cen Shen will be Master Yan in the future. If Master Yan had the word Yan in his original name, it would be easier to become famous.

Thinking about things in a mess, for a moment I forgot that I was about to be dubbed such an unbearable name as "Little Fatty".

Feeling that the boy's attitude has softened a lot, some guys who pushed their noses on their faces directly pecked at the hand next to her, why did they choose a nicer name? What the hell is Xiaopang? Hate.

She is not fat at all, it's just that she has a little more hair. How can you call her chubby? It's too much!
His hand was nagged, and a fierce light flashed in Cen Shen's eyes. He hadn't been injured for many years.

The little fat bird stared at him menacingly, the hair on his body exploded, and he looked not only rounder but also fatter.Fortunately, although the little fat bird is fat, it is still small, so it still looks cute.But looking at the posture, I really don't like the name Xiaopang.

Cen Shen took a look at the place where the little fat bird pecked just now, it was still a little red, but it didn't hurt, and the mark would disappear soon.

He said in a playful way, "You are so excited. Do you really like this name?"

The hair on Xin Wu's body exploded even more, and she was so angry that she flew around the study like a small cannonball, rubbing against each other, making people quite worried.If one couldn't stop and hit the wall directly, he would be stupid if he didn't.

It's so stupid, it really makes people feel unwarranted.

Cen Shen came to a conclusion that was not a conclusion. Seeing that Xin Wu was about to faint, he seemed to have seen enough of the good show, and waved to Xin Wu, "Little fat is a nickname. That's enough, let's get a name next, shall we?"

With a swipe, it stopped in mid-air, Xin Wu looked back at Cen Shen, and fell straight down before he could say anything.Only then did I remember that I was a bird, and I had to flap my wings if I wanted to fly.

He flapped his wings so hard that he was so hanging that he almost fell to the ground.

I want to choose a nice name, forget it, let me be called Xin Wu.

Flying back to the table, she was as exhausted as a dog, but she couldn't really stick out her tongue and pant like a dog.After chirping for a long time, Xin Wu forgot that Cen Shen couldn't understand what she said.

She originally wanted to choose a name that was both connotative and nice, but when she thought of the past, she felt a little depressed again.She is now a person without a past, and her name is the only thing that connects her to the past.After transforming from atomization, her personality has changed. You know, she was not as noisy as she is now.

If it was her in the past, she would just be a bird obediently.He eats as soon as he is fed, and will never run around. Be as obedient as possible.

He was going to tease the little guy, but who knows, the little guy became depressed for no reason.

"Let's see, what name do you want?"

Don't think about why the little guy is suddenly upset. After all, it's something he doesn't know, so there's nothing to say.Let's talk about the pressing issues now, such as what kind of name the little guy wants.

Xin Wu walked slowly to a pile of papers. She was not in a good mood now!
Seeing those names on the paper, Xin Wu felt that he might never get better for the rest of his life.

Pay close attention to where your little one's eyes are looking so you can always explain the origin of the name to your little one.Cen Shen pointed at the name on the paper and smiled happily.

"This Xiaobai, it's because your feathers are all as white as snow. The same kind is Xiaoxue, Baibai and so on."

Xin Wu ignored him, and continued to look at the strange names on the paper, such as Yuanyuan, Tangyuan, Yuanxiao, Pangpang, etc. At a glance, he knew that Cen Shen was a bad name.

There are so many books in the study, can't you choose a nice name from the books?
It's so weird, it's all pet names, it's clearly agreed to be a family member, and you agreed to depend on each other for life, so why don't you give the person you depend on for this kind of name that doesn't seem very tall?
Super angry!
From the corner of the eye, I caught a glimpse of a less impressive name in the corner of the paper, "Awu".

At any rate, it has a similar pronunciation to her name, Xin Wuzhong's Wu. Xin Wu pressed her paw on "Awu" and turned her head to indicate to Cen Shen that she was going to ask for this name. At worst, when the other party called her Awu, She just took it as "A Wu".

Cen Shen didn't expect that the little guy would really choose a name on it, and suddenly he felt a little dizzy. He originally only wanted to amuse the little guy, how could he be so hasty in naming something, he must have read poems and songs , Find a word that not only sounds good but also has a good meaning as the name.

Who knew it was a mess in the middle?
"This Awu doesn't sound very nice, shall we choose a better one?" Trying to coax the little guy to change his name, and even brought out the poetry book on one side, Cen Shen has already promised to choose a good one from the pile of books However, Xin Wu's paws stubbornly landed on the word "Awu", refusing to move away.

In fact, neither of the last two screwed the other.

After the two compromised with each other, Xin Wu found another one.She happened to come across a book of Ouyang Xiu's poems, and she put her paw on the word "Wu" in the last sentence: "Out of the flat grassland are spring mountains, and travelers are outside the spring mountains."

Although Cen Shen felt that Wu's meaning was not very good, he still agreed with Xin Wu's idea of ​​using the word "Wu" as his name.

It probably has something to do with this poem.
