Myth Revival: Starting from the Invasion of the World by the Classic of Mountains and Seas

Chapter 48 Adopting a Girl Duan Guling

Shen Yun hangs in the air, slightly dim.

After parking the car on the side of the road at the foot of the mountain, Li Bukui walked along the stone steps. After a while, he climbed to the top and saw the giant willows in front of the courtyard.

He knocked on the brass ring of the red-lacquered door, and soon the heavy door opened.

Oncoming was a girl wearing a light blue school uniform, but her long hair was hanging down in a mess, and her face was very haggard. It was the daughter Duan Gu asked Li Bukui to take care of, Duan Guling.

"Mr. Li, welcome, please come in." Duan Guling's bright eyes seemed dim, not the same as before.

"Yeah." Li Buku nodded and entered, stepping onto the corridor.

At this time, there are no children in Taoist uniforms secretly showing curiosity in the courtyard, and everything is cold and lonely.

Finally, the two came to the empty hall, Li Bukui looked around, there was no difference from before, only Duan Gu's figure had disappeared.

"Please sit down, Mr. Li." Duan Guling narrowed his tired eyes slightly, and then made warm matcha for Li Bukui who was sitting on the chair.

"You don't have to be too polite, just sit down." Li Bukui didn't choose to drink tea, but let the exhausted girl sit down.

"I..." Duan Guling was a little at a loss at first, and then looked at the peaceful expression on Li Bukui's face, which was inconsistent with his cold and violent body, and relaxed slightly in his heart, listening to the order to sit down.

"Your father Duan Gu's matter, in fact, probably already has the truth." After thinking repeatedly in his heart, Li Bukui finally decided to tell the girl the whole thing, and did not choose to hide the truth.

"Really!" Duan Guling raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of expectation.

"Yes, there is already a truth, but before that, I want to clarify to you the reality of what has happened in this world."

Ignoring the girl's doubts, Li Bukui continued, "Actually, the legendary Shan Hai Jing creatures have appeared in this world one after another, and similarly, we can travel to that future world that has been completely eroded by Shan Hai Jing."

"Your father and I are the ones who can travel to that future world of Shan Hai Jing and survive in that crisis-ridden world."

"So the reason why your father disappeared is because he has probably died inside, so he won't come back."

The young girl Duan Guling looked at Li Buku in disbelief, then lowered her head in panic and avoided, "Mr. Li, you really know how to joke. How could father enter such a strange world?"

"Whether you believe it or not, in short, I have told you the truth, whether you accept it or not is not something I can solve." Li Bu cried and stood up, ignoring Duan Guling's pleading gaze.

"I have to prepare some things. I will come back with dinner later and stay with you until noon tomorrow. If your father Duan Gu hasn't come back, it means that he has probably passed away. Then I will give you two choose."

After finishing speaking, Li left without crying and turning his head, pretending that he didn't see the teardrops in the girl's eyes.

Afterwards, Li Bukui went home with food, settled down the dissatisfied Juju and You, and returned to Duan's house again.

The girl Duan Guling who had wiped away her tears didn't choose to say anything, but quietly brewed warm matcha for Li Bukui.

The two waited all night in silence, while Duan Guling fell asleep unconsciously.

Are you too tired?Li Bukui silently looked at the sleeping girl and covered her with a quilt.

There was nothing to say all night, and the night was slowly dispelled by the light.

Duan Guling slightly opened her hazy eyes, and the sunlight shone on the fruit trees outside the hall, which she and her father planted to take care of those greedy practicing children.

Duan Guling stood up, the quilt slipped off her body, she hurriedly caught it.

Did Mr. Li build it for me?
"Are you awake? Come and eat."

Li Bukui, who was carrying a bag of lunch, came in through the gate and looked at Duan Guling.

"En." Duan Guling felt the warmth in his heart, and came to the table to sit down.

The two were silent and ate quietly.

Li Bukui was not a talkative person, and Duan Guling couldn't think of anything to say because he was not familiar with him.

After eating, Li Bukui, who was waiting, saw that the girl had already eaten two-thirds of the box lunch.

It seemed that he had regained his spirit a little, so he made a sound.

"I have been waiting with you all night, but Duan Gu still hasn't come back, that is to say, he has been in that world for three days, and these three days, with his strength, I generally suspect that he will never come back .”

Duan Guling didn't respond, but her eyes dimmed slightly.

"Therefore, I give you two options."

"One is to stay here by myself and wait for Duan Gu to come back, but it can't guarantee personal safety, after all, you are a little woman's house; the other is to follow me back to my house, and I will give her a separate room to live in, which will not affect your actions, and she is free. I’ll accompany you back to check on the situation.”

Duan Guling remained silent, and it was rare for Li Buku to be patient for a while. After waiting for her for an hour, the girl finally made up her mind and responded calmly, "I'll go with you."

"Are you sure? Don't regret it later, I don't have so much time." Li Bukui examined Duan Guling's eyes.

"En." At this time, the girl's eyes were like a mirror-like lake, and she affirmed the reply.

Soon, the two who had packed their luggage stepped out of the red-painted gate, and under Duan Guling's persevering eyes, the gate slowly closed with a strange bang, which slightly stirred up ripples in her heart.

On the highway, an off-road vehicle drives smoothly.

Li, who was holding the steering wheel, asked the girl without crying and without turning his head, "Where are you studying now? What is your grade? How are your grades?"

Duan Guling felt a burst of kindness, "I'm studying in Daxia No. [-] Middle School now, and I'm in the second semester of my second year of high school. My grades, um... are barely in the top [-] of my grade."

Li Bukui thought, Daxia No. [-] Middle School is located in the center of Daxia City, just like its name, it is the middle school with the best teaching resources in the local area.

And with Duan Guling's grades in the top [-] of her grade, she should have attended a key university, so she decided to let her drop out of school.

"Then are you on vacation now?" Li Bukui continued to ask, he wanted to get a general idea of ​​the girl's situation so that he could make plans later.

"Yes, three days off for the festival."

Duan Guling responded, her voice was still clear and ethereal, but her fatigue was almost gone.

"But when I came home, I found that my father, who had been in contact with me on the phone at noon the day before the holiday, was no longer at home. Since my father moved to Daxia City, the family hadn't contacted any relatives for a long time."

"I have been living on the mountain, so after my father disappeared, I really had no clues, so I had to flip through the drawers in his room, and then I contacted you, Mr. Li."

Li Bukui thought in his heart, "It seems that you are going to boarding school tonight."

Duan Guling said yes.

After that, the two of them didn't speak any more, but Li Bukui began to arrange her food, clothing, housing and transportation in his heart.

Soon, the car arrived at the manor villa, and the two got off.

Looking at the luxurious manor villa, Duan Guling was surprised. She didn't expect that Li Bukui was still a rich man.

Li Bukui ignored the girl's small thoughts and led her into the house until he went up to the second floor and came to his room.

At this moment, a cat and a monkey were lying on the sofa, chewing food and watching the TV in front of them.

"Hey, little cat, little monkey, get acquainted with this girl, and she will live with us afterwards."

Suddenly, Juju jumped up when he heard Li Bukui talking, and the little cat stared at the ordinary-dressed but pretty girl, "Human, where are you abducted young girl? Do you have something in your heart?" Unreasonable thought!"

Li Bukui knocked it on the head hard, and yelled in pain, "Little cat, don't talk nonsense."

Then he turned his head and explained to the shocked Duan Guling, "This kitten is a strange beast that I brought back from the world of Shan Hai Jing. It is quite special. It can speak human language and its IQ is almost the same as that of children. You should get along well."

"You are the kid! I am the smartest!"

Li Bucui patted Youyou's head, ignoring the complaints, "As for this little monkey, it is also a strange beast in the world of Shan Hai Jing, but its personality is relatively docile, except that it can make strange noises to scare people."

After hearing Li Bukui's explanation, Duan Guling withdrew his shocked expression, his eyes were full of curiosity, and he moved closer to Quzhou and You.

And Li didn't cry or bother her, and left the room.

In fact, I didn't want to disclose the existence of Zong Ju at the beginning, but they are already living together, so sooner or later it will be exposed, which will affect the trust between the two, so it is better to directly reveal it at the beginning to avoid misunderstanding.

Going downstairs and sitting on the sofa under the hall, Li Bukui contacted Liu Yuansheng, a C-level virtual person he met at Chen Fushang.

After a while the phone was connected.

"Hello, is this Your Excellency Li?" The old man's deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me, Li don't cry."

"Old Liu, let me ask, how is Meng Ying's situation now?"

"Miss Meng, she is fine." Liu Yuansheng responded frankly, "Because she is also located in Daxia City, not far from the location of my gang, so I took her back later."

"And her father, Meng Dafu, also knew about this and said he wanted to thank you."

Li Bukui listened clearly, but at the same time she was a little puzzled. With Meng Ying's character, she should thank herself immediately. Why is there no reaction at all?

"What about Meng Ying?"

"I left with her father yesterday. It seems that I have to report to the official organization. I should be busy now."

Li didn't cry, and hung up after greeting Liu Yuansheng.

Afterwards, Li Bukui arranged for a special furniture company to bring in some bed quilts and decorate them for Duan Guling in a certain room on the second floor.

Li Bukui also drove back to the hotel to pack the dinner.

In the evening, Huang Xia was quiet.

Li Bucui, Ju Ju, You and Duan Guling sat at the table in the hall on the first floor to eat, peacefully.

During the chatter and squabbles of the little cat, Duan Guling also showed a long-lost smile, and secretly glanced at Li Bukui.

So, after the girl took a bath, Li Bukui drove her to Daxia City No. [-] Middle School, and at the same time asked Zhuo to follow her.

Because when Li Bukui was going to the hotel to pack the food, he saw the news of many disappearances in Daxia City recently on the TV screen, so to be on the safe side, he asked the shrinkable figure to follow her.

Night falls and everything is silent.

Li Bukui, who was leaning on the chair, did not choose to wear equipment. Now he no longer needs those outdated equipment. They will not protect him, but will hinder his actions.

Soon, in the darkness, Li Bukui, who had been busy all day, left reality in his sleep.

There are still 35 days until the Shanhaijing world is fully invaded...
