Xia Yuanqiu asked: "Am I similar to her?"
The old man looked at Xia Yuanqiu carefully for a few more times, then shook his head: "At first it looked a bit similar, but now it doesn't look the same anymore. Maybe it's just that your charms are somewhat similar, and your looks are not very similar."
"Is she important to you?" For some reason, Xia Yuanqiu became very curious about the old man's past.
The old man nodded: "It's very important, very important, but after so many years, she may have passed away long ago, hey-"
"Since it's so important to you, why do you live here alone instead of going to her and staying with her?"
The old man sighed: "I have my responsibilities. I am not qualified to enjoy the love of my children. I cannot leave here."
Even Zhu Yan, who had always been cold-tempered, couldn't help but become curious about the old man.
"This place is deserted and completely deserted. Why do you want to live here alone?" Zhu Yan asked.
This is what Xia Yuanqiu wanted to ask. She stared closely at the thin old man in front of her, not missing any change in expression on his face.
The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You guys go, it's better not to know some things! Knowing too much may not be a good thing."
Xia Yuanqiu said: "Senior, it may be a destiny that we can come here and see you. If you don't tell us, wouldn't it be a waste of this rare destiny?"
The old man struggled to sit up. One of his legs was stiff and unbendable. The slightest movement showed an expression of extreme pain on his face.
"What's wrong with your legs?" She could clearly see the thin legs under the tattered trousers.
The old man beat his leg, which had almost no feeling other than the pain, and said with a wry smile: "The injury I suffered many years ago will happen again from time to time. I'm used to it."
Zhu Yan looked around. In the empty stone room, there was nothing but the bed, and there was no kettle with only water. How on earth did he live
The old man said: "Are you curious about how I survive here?"
Xia Yuanqiu nodded hurriedly: "I'm really curious. We are standing here talking to you. The air wall has been insulating us from the heat. Otherwise, we would have been roasted to death now, but you did not use the air wall, and in this room , no water, no food, how did you survive?"
The old man said: "In the beginning, I also needed the air wall to survive, but as time went by, I gradually got used to the heat, and the air wall was no longer needed. Healing food, let alone me to worry about, you don't have to worry about it. It seems that there is nothing here. In fact, there are many rare and exotic animals living in this hot land. They all want to eat me, but in the end they are all eaten by me. As long as I stay here, they can eat themselves. They will come to my door, just like food will come to my mouth by itself. I don’t have to worry at all. As for water, as long as I follow these strange beasts, I will always find a water source. This is my life.”
I see! !
Looking at the old man's tattered clothes, Xia Yuanqiu couldn't help but ask, "How many years have you lived here?"
The old man shook his head: "I can't remember clearly. Anyway, it's been a long, long time. It's been so long that I'm the only one left in this world. To be honest, sometimes I feel really lonely."
"Then why don't you go out?" Zhu Yan asked.
"I said, because I have my own responsibilities, it's not that I don't want to leave, it's that I can't leave!"
