Yi Fan sat on a chair, bowed his head and thought for a long time, then slowly told the general situation of the world he used to live in, and reviewed the bizarre things he experienced behind the village. These words made the two of them open their mouths wide, and they couldn't close their mouths for a long time.
The little girl said in surprise: "Yi Fan! I don't understand at all, please explain it more clearly, what is electricity? What is a car? What is an airplane? And the mobile phone you said that can talk thousands of miles? And the nuclear explosion, can people make these things? The world you live in really has so many such strange things?" Robinson was also surprised and said: "Yi Fan! It's not that my husband and I don't believe you, but what you said is too strange, it's really unimaginable." After a pause, he said: "Such a strange thing, even if I make it up, I can't make it up." Fortunately, Yi Fan graduated from university and was familiar with these basic knowledge. He also talked about various things on the earth for a long time with gestures. But the two people on the opposite side became more and more confused and less and less understood the more they listened.
The two of them refused to believe such a thing no matter what, but they knew that Yi Fan never lied, and Yi Fan's voice was cautious and slow, low and powerful, and his face was heavy. It was really after careful consideration, and he was afraid of saying a wrong word. It was definitely not a joke, so the two of them had to believe it.
But how could such an incredible thing make people believe it. The two of them really trusted Yi Fan. If someone else said these words in front of them, they would probably kick him out before they could finish half a sentence.
After a long time, Robinson said in a calm voice: "Yi Fan, you are not a mortal."
Yi Fan said: "No, I am a mortal! When I came to this world, the things I saw were too extraordinary. They were all things in the myths and legends of our world. All of this is simply incredible." He took a deep look at the two of them and said slowly, "You are not mortals. This world is very unusual."
His voice was low and magnetic, and because of the internal tension of the incident, although it was only a short and ordinary sentence, it made Robinson and his wife feel cold all over. That was the chill from the depths of my heart.
After a long time, the girl said, "So there are two worlds."
Yi Fan said, "I don't know if there are only two worlds, but there is definitely more than one world. Maybe there are more worlds that we don't know or think of." For a moment, the three of them felt deeply afraid, and there was a feeling that everyone else was drunk but I was the only one awake.
After thinking for a long time again, Yi Fan laughed and said, "It's useless to think about these things that you can't figure out and can't solve. Why did you fall to this point?" The couple opposite looked at each other, and there were a lot of worries in their expressions.
The girl nodded at Robinson and said, "Go ahead."
Robinson said, "Yi Fan, in fact, I was going to tell you even if you didn't ask me. This matter is related to your entry into the mortal world in the future, so that you won't be confused about the situation in the future and suffer a great loss."
Yi Fan hurriedly thanked him again. Robinson waved his hand, indicating that he didn't have to be polite.
"We were very poor at that time. We lived in a remote mountain village outside the city. We farmed a few acres of thin land rented from a landlord to make a living. The landlord was called Li Wancai. He was a well-known bully and we were often bullied by him. I had two brothers and one sister, both of whom died when they were young. Children from poor families lacked food and drink, were weak and sickly, and were always difficult to raise. Therefore, my parents took good care of me since I was born.
"Haha, poor couples have many sorrows. I won't mention the bumps and bruises in my family when I was young. I finally grew up slowly under their care and reached the age of marriage. Our family was poor, and no one was willing to marry me. My parents were worried about this and their hair turned white. I was also anxious in my heart, but there was nothing I could do. I could only comfort them constantly.
Robinson took a sip of tea, his eyes were dazed, as if he was opening up the dusty memory for a long time. After a long time, he slowly spoke, his voice was low and hoarse, as if he was not talking about his own things, and there was a strong numbness in his silence.
He only heard him say: "Go north for 1,500 miles, there are mountains and ridges, at the end of the city, called: Beiliang. Beiliang is very big. I have lived there for more than ten years, but I don't know how big it is. That was before I came here. Ten years ago, I was still a young man, and my parents were still at home.
"Around November of that year, it was the slack season for farming. Like this time of year, I cut a lot of dry firewood in the mountains and prepared to carry it to Beiliang to sell. It is nearly 20 miles from my home to Beiliang, which is really not close, but I was young and strong at that time, so it was no problem to walk and rest along the way. On the 15th, I ate before dawn, carried firewood and set out. I arrived before noon. The transaction went smoothly and I sold 23 copper coins soon. "
Yi Fan thought to himself: "It has been a long time since this happened, but my brother still remembers it so clearly. It seems that something unforgettable must have happened later, but I can't tell whether it is good or bad from these words."
Robinson suddenly turned to Yi Fan and said: "Oh, by the way, Yi Fan! The currency here is one hundred copper coins for one silver coin, and ten silver coins for one gold coin. You should remember it to avoid being cheated in the future." Yi Fan said: "Yes."
Robinson said: "It was not easy for me to go to Beiliang at that time, so I didn't rush back. I ate the steamed buns I brought with me while strolling in the bustling streets. Young people are curious and can be considered to have broadened their horizons. After walking for a long time, we came to a small alley. In the alley was the backyard of a restaurant. It was full of garbage, including leftovers, wine, and rotten vegetables. It was smelly, flies were flying around, and a few wild cats and dogs were rummaging around. At this time, Xiaoniu heard Tangtang and Yuanyuan arguing in the inner room. Both of them were crying, so she went to the inner room.
Robinson continued, "I glanced at the alley and was about to turn around when I suddenly saw a disheveled, dirty beggar running out from the corner. He stumbled as he ran, stuffing something into his mouth. Five dirty, slovenly beggars behind him kept scolding and chasing him. He couldn't run far before one of them grabbed him by the hair and threw him to the ground. The five beggars surrounded him and beat him, swearing at him. But he ignored all that, curled up on the ground, and kept putting the food in his hand into his mouth, fearing that someone would snatch it away if he was a step late."
Yi Fan exclaimed, "Ah," and was extremely surprised. He felt that the beggar was really pitiful, but he couldn't help thinking, "The restaurant dumped a lot of leftovers, why didn't he go there to eat, it's better than dead rats, right? None of the beggars went there at the time, but they got a few cats and dogs for free. What's the reason?" Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't ask.
"At that time, I was shocked and sympathetic, and asked, 'Do you have a home? I will take you home, okay?' When I asked this, I heard him crying softly. As soon as he spoke, I realized that this person was actually a woman. Although she was beaten by several beggars just now, she did not say a word from beginning to end, and did not shed a single tear. Now, after hearing a few words of my tenderness, she burst into tears, and her tears fell like beads from a broken string. I felt pity for her and hugged her to comfort her. The more I talked, the sadder she cried, and the more I comforted her, the more she cried. I don't know how much injustice she suffered outside, and now she cried out. Robinson said: "I saw such a thing, I couldn't sit idly by, I ran over and fought with them. Although there were many beggars, one was old; two was hungry for a long time, malnourished, and weak; three was at the bottom of society, used to being bullied, and dared not cause trouble. I am young and strong, and I am not at a disadvantage when fighting one against five.
The five beggars were ruthless when fighting people of the same level as themselves, but they were timid when fighting me, and they didn't dare to be ruthless. After a while, they retreated more and more, and actually walked away in shame, not daring to say a single harsh word.
"I hurriedly helped him up. I saw that his nose and eyes were swollen and dirty. I couldn't see his original appearance. He was still chewing. I looked at his hand and saw half a dead mouse with hair and claws."
"I had no choice but to stop talking. I don't know how long it took. She stopped crying and sobbed, "I have been wandering and begging outside since I can remember. I have no home."
I heard it and said, "Come on, go home with me. From now on, you have a home, and my home is your home." When I passed by the pile of leftovers, I was very surprised and asked, "Why are you fighting for dead mice? The things here are better than those, right?" She said, "I dare not come here to find food. Every time I come, the waiter in the restaurant beats me." I was so angry when I heard it. Would these leftovers be eaten by cats and dogs rather than people? I wanted to rush in to argue with them at that time. But then I thought, after all, this is someone else's thing. Although this is cruel, others can't say anything. Besides, I was alone and had no strength. It was fine to fight with beggars, but if I fought with them, I was afraid I would have to be beaten by them. At that moment, I took her to the restaurant and ignored the gossip of others. We had a full meal and spent all the twenty-three copper coins. When I returned home at night, I boiled water for her to take a bath and my mother made clothes for her. After two or three days, the swelling on her face subsided and she was very beautiful. The villagers were amazed. Seeing that she was beautiful and virtuous, my parents were so happy that they cried and couldn't sleep for several days. Soon, they held a wedding for us. Speaking of this, you should know that this beggar woman is your sister-in-law. "
Yi Fan said "Ah" and stood up from the chair.
Robinson ignored his surprise and stared at Yi Fan for a long time before saying: "Yi Fan, people outside are treacherous. They would rather throw away food or give it to cats and dogs than save others. Why go out and suffer that living torture? You and I live in seclusion in the mountains, eating and drinking well all day, and happily spend the rest of our lives. How wonderful it is. Although the wild beasts in the mountains are ferocious, they are always easier to deal with than human hearts. "
Yi Fan's body was shocked. It was not until this moment that he realized that Robinson was persuading him with all these words. His heart was warmed and he wanted to agree, but then he thought: "How did I come to this world? What is going on in this world? Is it related to my original world? Can I go back? It has been more than half a year. I don't know how many white hairs my parents have had at home. How can I not try my best to go back, just to enjoy a good life in peace and happiness? If I don't make progress, how can I be worthy of them? A Lai should have drifted in this world, and I must find a way to find him. If I grow old here with the trees in the mountains, I am afraid that these unsolved mysteries and guilt will torture me so much that I can't even sleep. "
Thinking of this, he had made up his mind. He became ruthless and ignored Robinson's eager eyes. Instead, he asked, "Brother, when you married my sister-in-law, you naturally lived happily. I don't know why you moved here."
Robinson did not answer and stared at him for a long time.
The two looked at each other for a long time. Robinson sighed and knew that he was determined to leave, so he stopped talking about this topic.
