"What's this?"
"Benz."
"What was that just now?"
"BMW."
"Aren't they the same? Aren't they both big black iron shells?"
"… "
"What's that?"
"traffic light."
"Isn't it the same as a street light? What is it used for?"
"Stop at a red light, go at a green light, wait at a yellow light... uh..."
Looking at Jiang Yuebai who rushed through the traffic, Lu Xingyun shook his head helplessly. If this happened in the real modern times, the traffic police would definitely stop her and give her a lecture.
Unfortunately, this is just a realm she created. Even if everything is the same as reality, it is not reality, but just her memory.
Here, others could not see the existence of the two of them, and Jiang Yuebai was like a ghost, with an illusory body that could pass directly through the traffic.
"What is this? It smells so good!"
Under the scorching sun, Jiang Yuebai stood on the pedestrian street, pointing at the thing in front of him and asked Lu Xingyun.
"Starchy sausage, junk food!"
Lu Xingyun walked over and saw two high school students, a boy and a girl, who had skipped classes, gathered in front of the stall selling starch sausage.
Jiang Yuebai, a Taoist master in the state of integration, was also tempted by the taste and asked while swallowing his saliva, "Can I have a taste?"
Lu Xingyun shook his head, "As you wish!"
Even the Taoist master cannot resist this kind of technology and cruel life.
Knowing that the auntie selling grilled sausages couldn't see her, Jiang Yuebai still sneaked away like a thief, blew on it twice, and then couldn't wait to put it in her mouth and take a bite, chewing it with a hissing sound.
After taking a bite, she found that the aunt was sprinkling spicy powder on the two students. She looked at the spicy powder in her hand, then at the spicy powder on the plate, and followed the aunt's example and sprinkled some spicy powder on the sausage in her hand.
"Hmm~ This is so delicious! What are they selling over there?"
Jiang Yuebai rushed to the door of the nearby shop while biting a grilled sausage, and swallowed his saliva as he looked at the thumb-fried dumplings that had just come out of the pot.
At the beginning, Jiang Yuebai was interested in everything around him. He jumped on the roof of a car, laughed on the roof of a building, and even opened the trash can to dig a few holes.
I stole a cell phone, but I wasn't sure how to use it. I was frightened by the flash of a passerby taking a photo, and I almost cast a spell.
Now that I have walked to the pedestrian street, I am completely attracted by the snacks on both sides of the street and I want to try every one of them.
"What the hell is this black thing? It tastes worse than medicine. Sour plum soup tastes better!"
Jiang Yuebai was holding the paper tube of fried skewers in his arms, with traces of red oil left on the corners of his mouth, and he even knew to throw the empty Coke bottle into the trash can.
“So you come from such a delicious place.”
Jiang Yuebai went to the stinky tofu stall again, thinking that if it were her, going from a place like this with delicious food everywhere to the world of cultivation, the gap would be too big and she wouldn't be able to bear it.
After eating almost the entire street, Jiang Yuebai looked at the women passing by. Each of them was dressed very uniquely and beautifully, with a kind of enviable confidence and beauty.
Jiang Yuebai lowered her head and tugged at the cumbersome long skirt on her body, then looked at the women's clothing stores in front of her.
Jiang Yuebai looked back at Lu Xingyun. When Lu Xingyun nodded, she smiled brightly, wiped her mouth with her sleeve, and rushed straight to the women's clothing stores.
Lu Xingyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and suddenly felt like he was taking a child shopping.
Thinking of this, Lu Xingyun felt a surge of bitterness in his heart, and couldn't help but think that if she hadn't suddenly traveled through time, she would have been able to accompany the little girl shopping.
In the women's clothing store, Jiang Yuebai tried on one outfit after another. At first, she was not used to the short-sleeved and short skirts that exposed her arms and legs. Although she thought she was very beautiful in the mirror, she still blushed and was embarrassed to wear them out.
After trying many times, I finally wore a white sweatshirt and jeans, tied my hair into a high ponytail, and put on a baseball cap, looking like a typical modern person.
Standing on the crowded street again, Jiang Yuebai saw that he was no different from the people around him. He smiled happily and continued to explore this unknown and strange world.
"And this thing called a mobile phone, how can you contact people thousands or even tens of thousands of miles away, take photos, and check what's happening in the world every day? You call it 'news', right?"
Beneath the surface, Jiang Yuebai began to develop a strong interest in the deeper things in this world.
This is something completely different from the cultivation system, which makes her thirst for knowledge stir.
Lu Xingyun suddenly asked her, "Do you want to live here?"
Jiang Yuebai was stunned holding the phone, his inner desire was about to burst out, but was firmly suppressed by reason.
I want to, but I can’t!
Lu Xingyun didn't ask any more questions. "Accompany me to a place, and then I'll treat you to a movie."
"What is a movie? I understand the meaning of the word 影, but what is 電 (electricity)? Is it the thing that makes the streetlights light up?"
Lu Xingyun walked in front, and Jiang Yuebai followed him and asked a lot of questions, but Lu Xingyun remained silent.
"Hey, don't be so stingy. You're ready to kill me, so it's okay to tell me everything, right?"
“… … ”
Lu Xingyun brought Jiang Yuebai to an old and dilapidated residential area and stopped outside a small courtyard on the first floor of a building. Not long after, Jiang Yuebai saw the door of the house being opened from the inside by a little girl who looked about seven or eight years old.
The little girl has pretty eyebrows and a pair of big eyes as clear as water, but she doesn't like to laugh and always has a blank expression on her face. She also has a sense of maturity that only adults have.
Jiang Yuebai looked at the little girl, then turned to look at Lu Xingyun, "She doesn't look like her. She shouldn't be your daughter, right?"
Lu Xingyun glanced at Jiang Yuebai and said, "When I died here and went to your place, I was still a virgin, so of course I don't have a daughter!"
"So this is..."
At this time, the little girl pushed a woman sitting in a wheelchair out of the house. The woman looked very similar to Lu Xingyun, but her eyebrows and eyes were softer than Lu Xingyun, giving her a kind of beautiful girl feeling.
The little girl locked the door, pushed it twice to make sure it was locked, pushed the woman out of the yard, closed the door again, and the two of them slowly walked out of the community.
Jiang Yuebai narrowed his eyes slightly and found that the little girl walked very steadily. She looked like someone who had practiced martial arts for many years. She seemed to have a fruit knife in her pocket.
Lu Xingyun kept looking at them, his eyes full of longing and bitterness.
"That's my sister, who was born to the same mother. We were born in the countryside. Our mother passed away early and our father was an alcoholic who beat us when he was drunk. My sister gave up the opportunity to go to school, served him and tried to please him, and saved all the money she could for me. When I was sixteen, I was admitted to a key high school in the city, but my father wanted to sell me to an old bachelor in the village."
"In the countryside, my sister and I have no adults to protect us. We are just the flesh in the eyes of others. Even though I have been secretly learning martial arts from Grandpa Ma since I was a child, I can protect myself, but I can't protect my sister without fail. So I must escape with my sister."
"After many hardships, we managed to escape successfully, but my sister was in a car accident and lost one leg. Fortunately, my teacher was very kind and helped us get compensation and tide over the most difficult period. I was also admitted to the best university in the capital as I wished."
"Then, I brought my sister here. I really feel so sorry for her. If she hadn't been writing novels to support me, I wouldn't have been able to finish college so smoothly. Moreover, in addition to raising me, she also raised the child she picked up."
Jiang Yuebai suddenly realized, no wonder the little girl looked nothing like them or her sisters, it turned out she was not their biological daughter.
Lu Xingyun paused and continued, "The day we found the child was my sister's birthday. It was the day we just settled down here. The child was thrown into the narrow alley near the community garbage station."
"To be honest, I didn't want to take care of it at first. We were having a hard time even surviving, so how could we have the energy to raise a child whose origins were unknown? But my sister was born with a kind heart. She said she could raise the child and that she would be too lonely at home when I went to college, so it would be good to have a child to accompany her."
"I am very glad now that I kept this child and taught her martial arts since she was young, so that she could learn how to protect herself and my sister. Otherwise, when I left, my sister would really be left alone. What makes me most uncomfortable is that I traveled through time at the wrong time, you know?"
"It took me eight years to complete my undergraduate, master's and doctoral studies. I finally got an offer from that research institute, but I didn't even have time to complete the entry procedures before I was tricked into the cultivation world by that ghost thing. Sigh!"
"If I get the job, the institute will have to provide my sister and niece with a pension, so I'm really worried about how they will survive in this chaotic world. That's why I have to come back here."
"Chaos?" Jiang Yuebai was a little confused. "From what I saw today, this world is not chaotic. Instead, everything is in order."
Lu Xingyun smiled bitterly, "The world I live in is not as simple as it seems on the surface, otherwise how could I encounter that thing and be thrown into the world of cultivation?"
A cold wind suddenly blew, and Jiang Yuebai shivered inexplicably. He felt the atmosphere around him become gloomy, as if there were countless terrifying beings, secretly watching him.
See you tomorrow~
In addition, the little girl here is, if nothing unexpected happens, the heroine of the next book. Surprising or not? (°°)
*
In addition, the experiences of Lu Xingyun and his sister are just stories in the book, and have nothing to do with me, Qingxie. I am healthy, born in the city, raised under the red flag, and have a good life. Please don't make random guesses...
