Романы ПайПай

Глава 44

"Put me down..." he finally said, gently shaking me and pleading in a trembling voice.

I stopped and looked at the faint light that had reappeared not far away. "We were clearly heading towards the light," I nudged Xu Yi's bottom and frowned. "Why did we end up back at that stone house?"

...

I didn't listen to Xu Yi and put him down, but I slowed down.

Whether it's the road ahead or the road behind, it's just a road, nothing more.

I could feel Xu Yi drooping his head and resting his chin on my shoulder. I could tell that his breathing was heavy and that he might not be able to hold on at any moment.

This time, if he can't hold on, he might fall into a coma, but given Xu Yi's physical condition, he might never wake up again.

"The miracle doctor," I called him.

"Hmm?" he replied softly, accepting the title of "miracle doctor" as if it were perfectly natural.

“If you hadn’t come here,” I asked, “what were you going to do?”

"What?" he mumbled, breathing on my neck.

“You helped Xu Jinwan prepare a recipe before you left,” I said. “I saw it.”

"Oh," he responded, then added after a long pause, "Jin Wan is pregnant..."

"Pregnant? What kind of speed is this?!" I sensed something was wrong and perked up. "Xu Yi, you really haven't raised your daughter well. She actually got on the train first and then bought the ticket..."

"What do you mean by 'get on the train first, buy the ticket later'?" Xu Yi asked.

"Anyway, your daughter is capable," I congratulated him. "You're going to be a grandfather soon, and you'll soon be able to have a grandson on your lap."

"Huh?" Judging from the voice, the divine doctor suddenly perked up. "Grandpa...?" He pronounced the word strangely, probably because he hadn't thought of it before. He slowly repeated it a second time, "Yes, I'm going to be a grandpa..."

"So you can't die here!" I pressed on. "You have to hold on!!"

"Heh..." Xu Yi chuckled, leaning on my shoulder. "Sun Qingshan, if I'm going to die, I'll heal you first, so don't worry..."

I curled my lip, "Look at you, so capable! Mind your own business first!"

Xu Yi shut his mouth and stopped talking.

"Um," I finally couldn't hold back, "tell the truth, how did you get together with Xiao Chenchen? How did she become so devoted to you?"

Xu Yi remained silent.

"Xu Yi?"

Still no sound. I shouted, "Xu Yi!!"

"Ah! What?" There was finally some movement on my back, but as soon as it moved, this clumsy doctor almost slipped off me again.

"How can you be so clumsy?!" I complained, holding him tighter. "You can't even hold your own when someone carries you? Even a savage is much stronger than you!"

"Hmm," the miracle doctor responded softly.

I turned to look at him and met his slightly dazed gaze. "I'm asking you," I said, getting back to the previous topic, "Xiao Chenchen is a great beauty, and she's so nice to you, don't you really like her?"

I stopped and looked at him; the doctor's eyes were blank.

"You really don't like her?" I asked again. "Really, really... don't like her?!"

"Cough..." Xu Yi suddenly lowered his eyes and coughed violently.

Chapter 55

My name is Sun Qingshan. Not long ago, I had a man and health.

Soon after, I lost my health and my manhood.

And I realized one thing: the thrill lies in the experience, and your companions cannot be faulted.

The oldest and most classic thrill lies in running. You don't even need to know what's chasing you from behind. Just be clear about one thing: there are no techniques in running. Reaching the finish line is the only technique.

Now, a miracle doctor is dozing off on my back. I thought that if things continued to develop like this, and we started to appreciate each other, it would turn into feelings for each other.

But I can't tell if it's camaraderie or father-daughter affection.

Because he started using imperative sentences with me, the tone of which was like my dad had traveled back in time.

For example: Turn left, walk right, stop and don't move, take two steps forward, go back, and keep walking...

"Are you a miracle doctor or a GPS?" I complained.

"What is GPS?" the miracle doctor asked.

I stopped, looking at the softly swaying white light not far away, and exclaimed, "You really are GPS..."

...

Now, hand in hand with the miracle doctor, at my own insistence driven by cowardice, we walked into that shimmering, ethereal light—not just white, but white with a hint of blue, and blue with a touch of earthy yellow.

"What is this?!" Surrounded by the floating light, I looked around. The empty, square underground plaza, an inconspicuous corner, had been used as a dumping ground for corpses.

But since it's a maze, and a secluded and eerie underground maze at that, you're bound to encounter a mummified corpse when you enter. That's a law, just like falling in love is inevitable when you time-travel. There's no way you'll miss it.

As for the shimmering light, it comes from above the head.

Xu Yi was stunned at that moment, and grabbed my hand with all his might.

But if I were a child, I might be just as excited.

When I was a child, I still remember how reluctant I was when my dad dragged me into the aquarium with pigtails on both sides—"There are fish swimming above our heads!!" After I saw the fish clearly and stood in the deep blue underwater corridor, I never thought about the task my mom had given me: to write an essay at home entitled "A Visit to the Aquarium".

I turned to look at Xu Yi and thought of myself.

Eyes widened in shock, chins jutting out as they strained to see clearly, their eyes gleaming with a light that was both a reflection in the water and a product of their own excitement. The azure water, in comparison, resembled a massive, solidified mass of color, swirling and rising in an upward current above their heads.

The water wasn't murky, but the color was too dark to tell whether there were any living organisms or plants.

I suddenly remembered the ponds I had seen when I first entered the village. "We're below those ponds," I concluded.

“Impossible,” Xu Yi denied. “How could this be? How could water be suspended in mid-air… This is unheard of…”

“But now you see,” I wanted to laugh, “the ancients were so lucky; everything was new and exciting to them.”

"What?" Xu Yi still raised his face and responded with a blank look.

I thought the reason the water didn't flow back down was because of the glass.

I thought his next question would be "What is glass?", but instead I felt a slight tug on my hand, and heard the doctor ask, somewhat incoherently, "And what are those...?"

I looked up, and above my head, where the blue waves gently rippled, a huge fish face suddenly approached. Its tiny eyes seemed to have spotted us and locked onto us—"Bang!" the fish face slammed into the high-strength glass—"A club-shaped fish monster?!" I cried out in horror.

At the same time, the mechanism in the underground plaza was activated from the outside, and a group of bald men ran in. A masked man and the beautiful Xiao Chenchen followed closely behind and charged into their ranks. Blood flowed as the knife was slashed, and after a few more cuts, the dead were the real men.

Xiao Chenchen, sword in hand, slashed and advanced, his target Xu Shenyi. I only had one choice left: a masked man I didn't recognize.

The man stood in front of me, and the instant our eyes met, he grabbed my hand and tried to pull me away. But I immediately noticed the large yellow diamond around his neck and became alert. "Who are you?"

"Don't ask so many questions," the masked man said in a deep voice, "If you want to live, come with me!!"

"I'm not leaving until you tell me!" I backed away. I'd seen too many men today, including a chubby guy.

"Don't blame me then!" I screamed as soon as he finished speaking, but he had already grabbed my hand, pulled me around the waist, lifted me up onto his shoulder, and said, "You're quite heavy."

"Then why aren't you putting me down?!" I stared at the yellow diamond on his neck, but I didn't dare to snatch it anymore. Having learned my lesson the first time, it would be a shame not to be clever this time.

I didn't cause any trouble and was easily carried out of the underground plaza. The dark road went straight up, and when I finally saw the light, I didn't even have time to squint to adjust before I sensed something was wrong. We were blocked from our way.

The candlelight in the Buddhist hall was blinding. The old monk and the young monks respectfully chanted in unison, "Amitabha."

"Village chief, you shouldn't be here." The old monk's kind voice came towards me, but I was facing backwards, so I could only make out a rough idea by looking at him sideways. I could roughly tell that the man carrying me was actually the strange village chief of this strange village.

"I am the village chief," the village chief said, tearing off his mask, "so my words are orders, and you dare to stop me?!"

"This humble monk dares not." The old monk stepped back, using gentleness to overcome strength, and responding to power with neither servility nor arrogance. "Amitabha, this humble monk is ordered to monitor the village chief's every word and deed, so that you will not do anything wrong."

"Under orders?" The man carrying me sneered in a low voice. "Under whose orders? Who has that much power?"

“You,” the old monk replied.

"What?!"

"I was entrusted by the village chief to stop you immediately should this situation occur, so that you can regain your memory."

...

Bathed in warm, swaying yellow light, the Buddhist hall became a closed space. I stood in front of the village chief, who claimed to have regained his memories, biting my finger.

"Ouch!" I pulled my hand back. "So, aliens?"

The village chief nodded, "We encountered a spacetime rift and had no choice but to fall here. We haven't found our way back yet."

"No way..." I pinched Xu Yi beside me and asked, "Are you dreaming?"

Xu Yi shook his head.

"So, did the Forget-Dust Pill take effect?" I asked again.

“I’m sorry,” the village chief stepped forward, “that’s not some kind of forgetfulness pill, it’s a kind of magnet that can affect a person’s cerebral cortex and hippocampus.”

"And there's radiation?" I added. "Could it cause cancer or birth defects?"

"The probability is very low," the village chief replied.

"Xu Yi!" I yelled, "Look at the mess you've made!!"

"I..." Xu Yi was stunned. He took a step back and almost fell to the ground if Xiao Chenchen hadn't caught him in time.

"I'll take it out for you now," the village chief said.

I wanted to ask if they needed to perform a cesarean section, but the village chief said, "It's already been removed."

"You got it out?" I frowned, trying to recall when I encountered the wild man. "Are you sure you got it out?" I frowned. "Why can't I remember anything?"

“Perhaps you’ll remember later,” the village chief comforted me gently. After comforting me, he held out his hand to me and said, “Hand it over.”

"What?" I asked warily, instinctively thinking he was referring to the diamond around my neck. Did aliens also care about diamonds?

“That’s not your ore,” the village chief explained, then abruptly removed the yellow diamond from his neck—

"Ahhhhhh!" I screamed so hard my heart ripped out. I jumped up and down, the beautiful girl jumped up and down, and I hugged the beautiful Xiao Chenchen tightly.

Realizing what had happened, Xiao Chenchen casually let go of me. I gave a forced smile, touched my hair, and then looked down to straighten my clothes.

The monster with the head of a clubfish and spider-like claws has now transformed back into the ordinary-looking humanoid village chief. "As you can see," the village chief explained, "this necklace is a sensory filter. It cannot change our appearance, but it can control your brainwaves, allowing me to appear before you in the form of a high-ranking ape."

"Higher apes? Hahaha!" I chuckled dryly three times. "Are you kidding me?"
