Chapter 16 Farewell to Peaches (Revised Edition)
He spent the afternoon nervously. When it was night, Xing Tianyu entered the nightmare space and drove the Viking fighter plane to the location of Tao Lesi's nightmare space. He guessed that the other party was probably in the nightmare space. For those who had just obtained the ability of the Nightmare Lord, they would never give up the opportunity to enter the nightmare space.
Sure enough, that huge silver nightmare space was right in front of him.
Through the barrier, Xing Tianyu looked inside. What surprised him was that he did not see any luxurious palaces or amazing scenery. Instead, it was a simple street in a village. In a small courtyard with low earth walls, there was a very typical northern house. The yard was full of apple trees, peach trees and plum trees. A white old dog was lying under the dog kennel. Several hens were pecking at the corn in the trough in the chicken bars. There was a simple swing made of rubber tires in the yard. Tao Lesi was sitting on the swing now, swinging around and thinking about something quietly.
Xing Tianyu got into the nightmare space, fell down from afar, walked through the simple street, and walked into the small courtyard.
"Good evening."
"Good evening, um-senior" Tao Lesi seemed a little surprised when she saw Xing Tianyu's arrival, "Why are you here?"
Being called a senior is still a very new thing for Xing Tianyu, but it is not wrong to think about it. As the Nightmare Lord, he is indeed the other party’s senior.
"I'm going to say goodbye to you when I come. I'm going to go out a long way recently."
"So that's it," Tao Lesi seemed a little sad, "I thought you were here to play with me."
"Don't worry, there's time in the future. We can play together often when I come back." Xing Tianyu couldn't help but laugh. Why did he say this as if he was still a child, and why did he always want to play?
"By the way, where is this?" Xing Tianyu simply changed the subject.
"My home when I was a child has been demolished and converted into a factory or something. I don't know what it is, because I haven't been back for ten years, but I can't forget it. I often think about what happened when I was a child, and I always dreamed of it when I was dreaming, but the dreams were always blurry. Every time I dreamed of going back to the old house, I suddenly remembered that I no longer lived there, and then I woke up. But now, with the ability of the Nightmare Lord, I can restore every tree and every tree in my house. I originally felt that I could no longer remember what the home was like at that time, but after trying it a little in the past two days, I found that it could be restored completely realistically. The result was just like when I was a child."
Tao Lesi became more and more excited as he spoke, pointing to the grape rack in the corner of the yard, "When I was a child, the grapes on the rack were always red one by one, and I picked one red one by one. When other people's grapes were all good, I had eaten up all my grapes. My dad asked me to wait until the grapes were fully ripe before eating them, but I couldn't help it.
Have you seen that peach tree?
My favorite fruit tree when I was a child, the peaches on it were delicious, and they were very rich at a time. I started eating them since the peaches were still green, and I couldn't finish them until the peaches rotted.
Have you seen that pear tree? It was planted when I was twelve years old. It is said to be a new variety. At that time, I was always looking forward to the fruit of this pear tree. Unfortunately, I went to boarding school before I grew up. Later, the house was demolished. Until the day it was cut down, it didn't have time to grow a pear."
Tao Lesi spoke, but his tone gradually became darker.
"Taozi, who is outside?"
A voice came from the old house, and then a woman who looked sixty or seventy minutes similar to Tao Lesi walked out of the house. The woman was about thirty years old and under forty years. She looked dressed and dressed up, and she was completely dressed in the world.
Seeing Xing Tianyu's woman, he was obviously stunned, "Who is this?"
"Mom, this is my friend Xing Tianyu, Xing Tianyu is my mother."
"Oh my god, please come in quickly. Have you eaten? I just steamed buns and cooked soup. Do you want to eat some together?"
Xing Tianyu was amused and crying, but he didn't expect Tao Lesi to have such a dream. But well, he could probably understand why the other party did this. People always miss the past, and sometimes they miss their hometown.
The two followed Tao's mother in to have a bland lunch. During the meal, Tao's mother kept praising Tao Lesi's grades in school, how obedient and sensible. Xing Tianyu, as a bystander, was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but Tao Lesi looked happy.
After dinner, the two returned to the yard, but suddenly the shouts of popsicles and ice creams were shouted outside.
"Hey, do you have popsicles here?"
"Of course, my dream is 100% highly restored!" Tao Lesi said as he shouted outside, and the popsicle seller waited for a while. After shouting, he pulled Xing Tianyu out of the yard gate. There was indeed a popsicle vendor pushing a bicycle with a foam insulation box outside, wearing an old blue top with four pockets, and a nostalgic wind blew over him.
"A penny popsicle, two cents of ice cream, and five cents of cream ice cream, what do you want?"
"Two cream ice creams!" Tao Lesi said as he handed over a ten-dollar bill, then waved his hand with a rich temperament, no need to look for it.
The two sat under the big willow tree outside the yard and started to eat cream ice cream.
Xing Tianyu still vaguely remembers this old-fashioned cream ice cream, but it is not clear. However, when he has memories, this ice cream has completely withdrawn from the stage of history. Tao Lesi actually ate this when he was a child. So how old is this girl? Could it be that she is older than herself?
However, it is a taboo to ask women about age. When Xing Tianyu was struggling with this question, Tao Lesi suddenly asked, "Why is it me? Why do you want me to become the Nightmare Lord?"
(Of course it's because I have meritorious points.) Xing Tianyu thought to himself.
But Xing Tianyu certainly wouldn't say that, "Well, I think you are a very special girl - well, this excuse is too bad. In fact, I am a little too lonely. No one around me has a common language with me. The more amazing ability you have, the fewer people can develop common language with me. So when I see that you have the potential to become a nightmare lord, I guess I want to turn you into someone like me, so that at least someone can say something, otherwise I have such ability myself, but I can't share it with others, or even let others know it. This is too boring."
Tao Lesi seemed a little moved when she heard this. "That's really a compliment, but it's fine. I don't have many friends anyway. Let's add a WeChat friend. You can go out together if you have time in the future."
Xing Tianyu thought about it and said no, but it was not harmful to think about it, so he left each other's numbers.
By the way, after leaving numbers to each other, Xing Tianyu finally remembered his important business.
"Last time, I was afraid that you didn't listen carefully, so I came here to remind you that you must not leave the Nightmare Space recently. There are Dream-Eating Squids nearby. This is not a joke."
Taozi nodded, then asked strangely, "I was so weird last time, what was the Dream-Eating Squid?"
"A kind of monster," Xing Tianyu told the story of Dream-Eating Squid.
"Then no one will clear these monsters?"
"Of course there is," Xing Tianyu had no choice but to explain the hunting mission and other things again.
The more Tao Lesi heard it, the more frowned, with an incredible expression on his face, "Wait a minute, can you still do missions in the Nightmare World? Can you also form a team to fight monsters? Why do you say it looks like an online game? You are not lying to me, right?"
Xing Tianyu shook his head with a wry smile. In fact, he was also very strange. The gap between this nightmare world and what he imagined was too great. The more he learned about the nightmare universe these days, the more he felt a strong sense of incongruity, and often wondered whether he had entered a fake nightmare world? This inexplicable and strange sense of incongruity made him feel that something was wrong. Although he couldn't explain clearly what the nightmare world should look like, at least it shouldn't be the one he saw now.
He originally thought this was just his illusion, because the other nightmare lords he encountered seemed to have no doubts, but now when he heard Taozi say this, he realized that he was not the only one who felt this way.
However, even if both of them feel this way, it doesn't make sense. Now he doesn't have time to figure out what's going on. There is still a plane to rush tomorrow. But when he comes back this time, he must figure it out.
