Life in the collapsed world from scratch

"But..." Cheng Xi changed the subject: "I'm just saying that time machines in the traditional sense don't exist."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the girl with a certain deep meaning: "But if there is a special power in this world that can only act on certain things, then it's uncertain." Death.

Chapter 71 Wanted

Until the end, Cheng Xi couldn't eat that bite of barbecue meat. When the two of them came back to their senses, the rabbit that they had ignored for a long time was completely burnt.

I heard that burnt meat contains a first-class carcinogen, and carcinogens are not like toxins. They don’t have a half-lethal dose. As long as they ingest them, there is a risk of cancer. Cheng Xi decided to eat less if it is not necessary. as well.

The most important thing is that meat doesn't taste good when it's burnt.

Fortunately, there was a small town not far away, and the two found an inn there to barely fill their stomachs, and stayed there by the way.

Compared with the woods full of mosquitoes, Cheng Xi still prefers to sleep in this kind of clean and tidy room, at least he doesn't have to worry about waking up the next day full of bites from bugs that "[-]" doesn't know.

It was the strange look in the shopkeeper's eyes that made Cheng Xi feel a little uncomfortable during the meal.

After that, Guan Xing looked preoccupied. After eating, he didn't say anything, and went back to his room in silence.

Cheng Xi didn't say anything about it. It's normal for girls to have their own concerns. For example, isn't he still feeling sorry for the roasted rabbit that was thrown away... This should be considered a concern, right? ?

But when he woke up the next morning and knocked on the door but did not see the girl inside, he realized that things might not be as simple as he thought—she might really be in a bad mood.

As for Guan Xing running away while he was sleeping, he never thought about it from the beginning. If he really wanted to do this, why did he agree to come out with him in the first place?You won't regret it so soon, will you?

"It should be to relax." Cheng Xi thought to himself, and also walked out of the inn—this person is not familiar with the place, so it would be bad if something happened to the girl.

At the same time, he was also planning in his mind that the next journey might be a bit long, whether to hire another carriage or not.

But if you think about it carefully, the drivers who have driven you seem to have been unlucky in the end. Could it be that there are some metaphysical factors in it?

No, no, this can only be regarded as a coincidence at most, how can it be blamed and not blamed on him... right?

Cheng Xi shook his head and heard a loud noise from the other side of the street.Originally, he didn't intend to squeeze into such a crowded place, but when he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

……

The girl standing outside the crowd tried to stand on tiptoe to see the scene clearly, but she couldn't see beyond the human wall in front of her, and even almost lost her balance because she was bumped in the crowd.

"Be careful." Cheng Xi helped the girl who was about to fall, and kindly reminded her.

"...It's you?" The startled Guan Xing heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the familiar voice, and straightened his somewhat messy hair.

"What are you looking at?" Cheng Xi asked curiously.

Guan Xing replied: "Your wanted notice."

Cheng Xi: "..."

He raised his head and looked towards the wall surrounded by the crowd, and sure enough, he saw that it was covered with arrest warrants. On the arrest warrant, there was a picture of a young man with black hair and black eyes. His facial features revealed a sense of familiarity when he got along with him. Could it be himself? ?

"Is this drawn by Rita?" Cheng Xi guessed, "Don't tell me, it really looks alike."

Is it my own hair, has it been so long?he thought.

However, he didn't take this matter to heart, turned his head to look at the girl and asked, "I've finished reading here, do you want to continue shopping?"

"Obviously the arrest warrants have been plastered all over the streets and alleys, and you still have the mood to continue shopping, can your heart be bigger?" Guan Xing was a little helpless.

"Isn't this kind of thing expected?" Cheng Xi waved his hand and said indifferently: "Besides, as long as you find a barber shop to cut your hair a little later, most people shouldn't recognize it, right?"

It would be nice if it could be so simple, and not everyone is face-blind...  

"Forget it..." Guan Xing sighed, and pulled Cheng Xi's wrist: "Come with me."

"Eh? What are you doing?"

Full of doubts, Cheng Xi was dragged all the way back to the inn by the girl. After asking the shopkeeper for a pair of scissors, the two returned to the room.

"sit down!"

Almost forced to press on the chair, feeling the cold touch of metal against her neck, Cheng Xi quickly realized what the girl wanted to do.

But it was obviously too late to object now. With the sound of "click", a strand of black hair slowly fell down, making Cheng Xi shut up.

It's all cut, what else can I do, I can't let her stop now, and then go out with her head missing a piece of hair, right?

Thinking of this, Cheng Xi also calmed down, quietly enjoying this rare moment.

Feeling the girl's slender fingertips gently passing through the hair, and listening to the slight "click" sound coming from his ears from time to time, his mood also relaxed a lot at this moment, and he closed his eyes unknowingly .

In a daze, he felt as if a hand had touched his face a few more times, but when he opened his eyes again, he only had time to see the picture of the girl putting something back into the luggage bag.

"What did you do?" He touched his 5.5 face, wanting to confirm if there was something extra on it.

"Don't move around, it will be spent later." Guan Xing pulled his hand down, looked him up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "Don't worry, the original purpose is to make you less conspicuous. What an ugly painting."

Hearing this, Cheng Xi felt a little relieved. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the door of the room being knocked open with a "bang", and several heavily armed officers and soldiers rushed in and surrounded the two of them.

"My lord! It's him!"

The shopkeeper jumped in from the door, pointed at Cheng Xi and shouted: "This is the man, I..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and he stared blankly at Cheng Xi, his face full of astonishment: "No, little brother, who are you?".

Chapter 72 Into the Dreamland

I have to say that the girl's make-up skills are really good, at least the shopkeeper looked around carefully and didn't see any clues. In the end, the leader recognized Guan Xing, which confirmed the identity of Cheng Xi's kidnapper next door.

"So the flaw is still on you." Cheng Xi said to the girl behind her.

"... Long-winded." Guan Xing replied.

Silently watching the boy's back, her mood was complicated for a while.

"What am I doing..."

she asked herself in her heart.

He clearly knew that everything he was doing now was meaningless, and he knew that if he continued like this, he would only usher in another failure in the end, but he didn't stop it, but followed him here to waste time.

Is it because you know that even if you fail, you will have another chance, so you no longer care about this matter?

Or, in the depths of my heart, I have actually...

"Hello? Did you hear that?"

The voice next to her ear awakened Guan Xing from her heavy thoughts. She raised her head and looked at the boy suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Cheng Xi replied, "I just want to ask 13 where to go next."

Because they left in a hurry, they didn't have time to hire another carriage, but this didn't hinder the itinerary. Cheng Xi ran much faster than ordinary horses, but he was lazy.

No, it was only for a short period of time, and the small town behind was no longer visible.Not to mention those chasing soldiers, they wisely gave up the idea of ​​chasing after seeing the picture of the inn's wall being smashed down by Cheng Xi with a loud noise.

"I told you to show the way, so what are you doing behind my back?" Cheng Xi complained, feeling the strange touch coming from behind.

"Do you think I do?" Guan Xing snorted, "There are so many broken hairs on your back, if you don't clean them off, it will get on my clothes."

Yes yes yes, it's all my fault... No, I didn't see you complaining just now?

Cheng Xi was a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it. Isn't there a saying that says, don't guess what a girl is thinking. Although he didn't know if the person behind him was a girl, he still decided not to think about it blindly. up.

……

"Are you sure it's here?" Cheng Xi looked around at the surrounding environment, and the leaves of various trees and shrubs occupied the place where he looked, and it was all green at a glance.

Should it be said to be ancient?The green coverage rate is high... By the way, why did you run into the woods again?

Cheng Xi really doesn't like this kind of environment, the pleasant green and sober air is just superficial, as long as people who have really stayed here for a while, it's hard to like this kind of place full of snakes, insects, rats and ants , it can be said that you have to worry about whether something will fall on you when you walk.

Of course, the world is so big, there will always be people who like this kind of environment, but Cheng Xi will definitely not be one of them.

"Can I still make a mistake?" Guan Xing said as he took out some pastries from the luggage bag and gave them to him: "Let's eat something first, I'll make some preparations here."

Prepare?Didn't you do any preparation when I saw you drawing the array before?

Cheng Xi took the pastry wrapped by the girl in a handkerchief full of doubts. It seemed that it had just been made, and there was still a trace of warmth.He simply smelled it, and a faint fragrance soon spread over. It smelled a bit like the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was the fragrance from the pastry or the fragrance from the handkerchief.

"Why are you looking at him so carefully? Are you afraid that I won't be able to poison you?" Guan Xing said dissatisfied when he saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"You don't know that." Cheng Xi shook his head, and began to babble: "To fully appreciate the color and aroma of food is the most basic respect for food."

As he spoke, he threw the pastry into his mouth, chewed it casually and swallowed it... To be honest, he was really hungry.

Stargazer: "..."

She really didn't see where the respect the other party said was reflected.

"Forget it..." The girl waved her hand, "You can rest here first, I can finish it soon."

As she said that, she picked up the luggage bag and walked aside, and found a relatively flat place to put the things down.

Cheng Xi yawned and sat under the tree.

Hearing the soft whisper of the girl chanting words in his ears, and the rustling sound of branches passing across the ground, an inexplicable drowsiness hit his heart.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the spell the girl chanted this time seemed a little different from last time?

In a daze, he didn't think too much, he quickly closed his eyes, and his consciousness sank into the darkness accompanied by sleepiness.

……

Guan Xing let out a long sigh of relief, dropped the branch in his hand, stood up and looked at the sleeping boy.

Behind the young man, a mysterious pattern could be seen looming like breathing. With the help of this calming array and those pastries, she finally managed to make him fall into a deep sleep.

Because it was a hasty decision, 083 didn't make too much preparation, and the success was completely beyond Guan Xing's expectations, which showed that he was basically not wary of himself.

This is very strange, and it further confirms an idea in the girl's heart... He really knows herself.

why?

The girl's heart was full of doubts and puzzles, and besides that, there was also a hint of expectation that she couldn't detect herself.

Or, he is also the same as himself...

"Sorry, with this method..."

Guan Xing said softly with apology, but she didn't intend to stop, in the endless reincarnation, she has been lonely for too long.She longed to meet someone of the same kind, even if it was just someone who had the same experience, so that she could at least know that she was not alone.

even……

There was a trace of luck hidden in her heart: maybe, she could find a way to end all this from the other party.
