Chapter 410: Like a Dream
After breakfast, Liu Xing said to Hu Li, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks: "Sister-in-law, what is the best scenery in Panlong Town this season, this is related to how many points we can get in our summer homework." β
Hu Li thought for a while and said with a smile: "Now during this time, the best place in Panlong Town should be Panlong Lake, because the water level of Panlong Lake during this period of time will be relatively low, and the river beach by the lake will be exposed, as well as some small stone pillars in the sub-center, which is very suitable for you to sketch, if you want to go, go out directly and turn left, walk upstream along Panlong Town, and you can reach Panlong Lake in less than ten minutes." β
Liu Xing nodded and thanked Hu Li.
"The weather is good today, let's hurry up, after all, school will start tomorrow, we have to finish our summer homework, otherwise we won't be able to hand in our homework tomorrow, and I'm afraid we will have to be taught a lesson by Brother Yong." Zhang Jingxu stretched his waist and said a little depressedly.
Ishikawa Ling rolled his eyes and said in a contemptuous tone: "This is not Zhang Jingxu's pot, our summer vacation homework has obviously been done, but when you were asked to take it back to the dormitory, you actually fell into the taxi, causing us to draw a new homework." β
Zhang Jingxu smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Isn't that the class leader who suddenly called me and asked me to go to the school gate to help her carry her luggage, so I forgot our homework for a while... β
"Oh, that Zhang Jingxu, you have to explain to us honestly, your relationship with Lu Tianya has reached that point now, if the matter between you and Lu Tianya is completed, then we will forgive you this time, and our homework can be regarded as a well-deserved death." Wan Chongshan said with a smile.
When Wan Chongshan said this, Zhang Jingxu scratched his head a little embarrassed, and finally said in a low voice: "I think it should be regarded as done, because she promised me that after the class meeting tomorrow afternoon, she would accompany me to have dinner together." β
"Oh."
Liu Xing and others said meaningfully.
After teasing Zhang Jingxu, Liu Xing and the others went upstairs with their respective painting tools and went to Panlong Lake according to the route indicated by Hu Li.
Walking on the road, Liu Xing looked at the clear water of the Panlong River, and said with some emotion: "I have to say that Li Dian, you really know how to find a place, I didn't expect that there is such a beautiful town hidden near Rongcheng, it's really a shame that you kid can find it." β
Li Dian smiled and said proudly: "Liu Xing, you don't look at who I am, I have a high school classmate who is from Panlong Town, and he has a very good relationship with me, so he took me to Panlong Town to play before, and I felt that the scenery of Panlong Town was very good, so after learning that our classmate Zhang Jingxu lost all the paintings, I immediately thought of coming here to sketch." β
Liu Xing nodded, looked at the bamboo forest on the side of the road and said: "Anyway, what do you think of this bamboo forest, this summer vacation homework is two paintings, we paint Panlong Lake on the one hand, and how about painting this bamboo forest on the other?" β
Ishikawa Ling looked at the bamboo forest, pointed to the depths of the bamboo forest, and said, "Look, is that building in the depths of the bamboo forest a temple?" β
Liu Xing looked in the direction pointed by Ishikawa Ling, and sure enough, he saw a somewhat dilapidated temple.
Li Dian took out a paintbrush and compared an angle, nodded and said: "Let's come back from Panlong Lake later, let's paint this temple in the bamboo forest, I think the top five of this summer vacation homework should be taken by us, of course, this first place must be in the bottom." β
Liu Xing first booed Li Dian with the others, and then stepped forward to look at the gap in the bamboo forest, and found that the gap in this bamboo forest was quite large, basically close to half a meter wide, and it should be no problem to go in.
So, Liu Xing and the others, who had made up their minds, continued to move forward.
After walking for about ten minutes, Liu Xing wiped the sweat on his head and looked ahead with some doubts.
Panlong Town shouldn't be so big, and there shouldn't be a so-called Panlong Lake, right?
Such a thought suddenly popped into Liu Xing's mind.
Liu Xing frowned and shook his head, how could he have such a strange idea, as if he had been to Panlong Town before.
Liu Xing rubbed his temples, it seems that I have to go to bed early tonight, don't have any more experience in the blueprint ship of the Azure Lane, anyway, Louis IX has already come out, and the monarch can wait for the start of school and then brush it slowly.
Ishikawa Ling on the side looked at Liu Xing, who suddenly stopped, and said with concern: "Liu Xing, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" β
Liu Xing shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, I may have played the game for a long time last night, so I didn't sleep well, and my spirit is just a little out of shape at this time." β
Ishikawa Ling nodded and said, "Then let's continue walking, it should be better to wash your face with lake water when we get to Panlong Lake." β
"Uh-huh." Liu Xing said as he looked at the sky.
The sun was shining and a few white clouds hung in the sky.
After walking for a while, Liu Xing and his party finally arrived at Panlong Lake.
As Hu Li said, at this time, a lot of river beaches were exposed on the edge of Panlong Lake, and the Panlong Lake was sparkling at a glance, like a piece of flowing jasper, and in the center of Panlong Lake, there were more than ten slender stone pillars exposed on the surface of the lake, but it would not make people feel abrupt.
I have to say that Liu Xing feels that the scenery of Panlong Lake is really good, and it is so beautiful that it is a little unreal.
"This Panlong Lake is so beautiful, but what is the situation of the stone pillar in the center of this lake, according to the color of the lake, the water level in the center of Panlong Lake should be more than ten meters." Wan Chongshan said with some doubts,
Ishikawa Ling shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe this is the magic of nature, the water of the Panlong River did not erase these stone pillars, but let these stone pillars remain and be used to decorate Panlong Lake." β
Looking through the turquoise waters of Panlong Lake, Liu Xing found that the stone pillars seemed to be connected to a huge stone.
"Okay, let's start work, and try to finish painting Panlong Lake before lunch." Zhang Jingxu clapped his hands and spoke.
So, Liu Xing and the others dispersed, each found an angle that they thought was better, and set up a position to start painting.
Liu Xing fiddled with the painting tools a little rusty, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, sure enough, the ancients said well, if you don't practice your hands for three days, you haven't done painting in the past few days, and you can't even control the painting tools.
However, Liu Xing glanced at Zhang Jingxu not far away, and found that Zhang Jingxu's movements were also a little rusty, and he almost knocked down the easel.
Liu Xing frowned, looked at the situation of Ishikawa Ling and the others again, and found that they were not much better, and they all had some conditions more or less.
What's going on, why did everyone suddenly have a hand?
Liu Xing thought so, and suddenly heard the sound of dice falling to the ground in his ears, which frightened Liu Xing and almost threw off the paintbrush in his hand.
"Whew, it turned out to be a phone, when did I change such a strange ringtone." Liu Xing took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and the caller ID was automatically marked as a scam call.
"What kind of fraud is this time, the routine of winning the lottery in the last show is not novel at all, but I still have something to do today, so I won't play with you liars." Liu Xing hung up the phone as he spoke.
Then, Liu Xing began to focus on painting.
Although there were still some hands at the beginning, and it was a little difficult to draw, Liu Xing soon entered the state and put down his pen like flying.
Time passed imperceptibly.
"It's finished."
Liu Xing looked at the painting he said he painted with satisfaction, and couldn't help but nodded, sure enough, he still has a talent for painting, and it was quite right to choose to give up medicine and pursue painting back then.
Liu Xing moved his muscles and bones, and found that Zhang Jingxu and others were still painting with their hearts, so he planned to go to the lake to wash his face and refresh himself, after all, Liu Xing had just been focusing on painting, and now his spirit was inevitably a little tired.
Liu Xing walked to the edge of Panlong Lake, and when he squatted down and just wanted to wash his face, he found that a face that Liu Xing didn't know was reflected in the lake water!
Liu Xing was shocked, and couldn't help but fall backwards and sit on the river beach.
"Liu Xing, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing Liu Xing's movement, Ishikawa Ling and the others, who were shocked, asked curiously.
Liu Xing stood up, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I just stepped on a small pebble and slipped a little." β
Liu Xing said as he looked at his reflection in his hand again, and found that he was not holding a stranger's face in his hand.
Sure enough, I was wrong?
Liu Xing touched his chin, it seems that he really didn't have a good rest today, and he was hallucinating.
But then again, Liu Xing felt as if he had seen that face just now, and the owner of that face seemed to be called Watanabe Meteor...
"Liu Xing, our paintings have been painted, how are you painting, if the painting is finished, we will go back the same way." Li Dian interrupted Liu Xing's thoughts.
Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Well, I've already painted it too, let's go." β
Liu Xing went back and put away his painting tools, and then prepared to leave Panlong Lake with Zhang Jingxu and others.
At this moment, Ishikawa Ling looked at the stone pillar in the center of the lake, and said with some doubts: "Don't you think that the stone pillar in the center of the lake seems to have changed its position?" β
Hearing this, Liu Xing looked at the stone pillar in the center of the lake and did not find anything abnormal.
"Ishikawa Ling, you may be dazzled, or maybe the water level of Panlong Lake has changed, so you feel that those stone pillars have changed their position." Zhang Jingxu said with a smile.
Ishikawa Ling nodded, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe that's the case, let's go back, it's almost eleven o'clock now, we have to rush back for lunch first." β
So, Liu Xing and his party began to return the same way.
Walking to the side of the bamboo forest again, Liu Xing couldn't help but stop and said: "There is still time here, anyway, we still won't be able to eat when we go back, so why don't we go to the bamboo forest first to have a look and determine the angle of our framing this afternoon?" By the way, let's see if there is enough space for us to paint in the depths of this bamboo forest. β
Liu Xing's proposal was approved by everyone, so everyone put the painting tools on the side of the road first, after all, it was a little inconvenient to enter the bamboo forest with the painting tools.
Soon, Liu Xing and others came to the temple deep in the bamboo forest, and in front of this temple there was an open space of more than ten square meters, which Liu Xing and others used for painting was more than enough.
As for the temple, it does look dilapidated now, one of the walls has collapsed, and you can see that the temple is already overgrown with weeds.
Liu Xing looked at the plaque of the temple and read softly, "Hualai Temple." β
The bold Ishikawa Ling walked to the gate of Hualai Temple, and with a gentle push of his hand, the gate of Hualai Temple opened.
"Shall we go in and take a look, this Hualai Temple has been dilapidated like this, there should be no one inside." Ling Ishikawa said.
Ishikawa Ling said as he walked into Hualai Temple, so Liu Xing and the others also entered Hualai Temple, after all, it was impossible for Ishikawa Ling to act alone, it was easy to have an accident.
"What the hell is this?!"
Ishikawa Ling, who was the first to enter Hualai Temple, suddenly let out an exclamation.
Liu Xing and the others hurriedly rushed over and found that in front of Ishikawa Ling, a huge python was tightly wrapped around a black cat, but the python and the black cat were already dead.
Zhang Jingxu frowned, and said in a low voice: "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go first." β
Everyone nodded in unison, and immediately turned around and left Hualai Temple and left the bamboo forest.
"Huh, my God, I didn't expect there to be such a big python in this Panlong Town, fortunately it is dead, otherwise if we are attacked by this python while painting, I am afraid we will not even have a chance to run out of the bamboo forest." Wan Chongshan said with palpitations.
Liu Xingshen nodded approvingly.
"Okay, let's go back to Boss Hu first and ask what is going on." Zhang Jingxu sighed and spoke.
So, Liu Xing and the others put on their painting tools and trotted all the way to Hu Cang's house, for fear that something terrible would emerge from the bamboo forest.
When they came to the side of the bridge in Panlong Town, Liu Xing and the others also slowed down their pace and began to adjust their breathing after seeing the pedestrians.
Liu Xing took out a small water bottle from his pocket and was about to drink saliva to moisten his throat, but when Liu Xing raised his head to drink water, Liu Xing's afterglow looked at the sky, and suddenly felt that something seemed to be wrong with the sky.
Liu Xing took a closer look and found that the sky at this time was exactly the same as the sky that Liu Xing had seen before, and the appearance and position of those white clouds were no different from before.
Just when Liu Xing was thinking this, the white clouds in the sky suddenly began to move.
"Is it wrong?" Liu Xing muttered to himself.
Back at Hu Cang's house, Ishikawa Ling, who couldn't sit still, found Hu Cang directly and began to ask Hu Cang about the situation of Hualai Temple, and Zhang Jingxu and others also joined in the fun.
As for Liu Xing, he sat alone in a chair, closing his eyes and meditating.
Liu Xing felt that he was a little strange today, and some inexplicable thoughts would always pop up in his mind, could it be that he had been under too much mental pressure recently and had symptoms of schizophrenia?
Liu Xing shook his head, how can he have any mental pressure recently, he eats, drinks and has fun all day long, the only thing that can be regarded as pressure is the blueprint ship experience of Azure Lane...
So, it's impossible for me to be schizophrenic.
Liu Xing rubbed his temples with a headache, something is wrong with this situation now.
While thinking about it, Liu Xing took out his mobile phone and opened the Azure Lane to receive the commission, and suddenly found that there was no signal displayed in the signal column of the mobile phone.
Therefore, how did I receive the call just now, and how did I successfully open the Azure Lane, you must know that if there is no signal, there is no way to enter the Azure Lane at all.
Liu Xing frowned, feeling that his head was getting more and more painful.
At this moment, a young man walked in with a bag of vegetables, and said with a smile: "Boss Hu, I brought you today's dishes, and I still have something to do now, so the dishes are on the table?" β
Liu Xing looked up and saw how Xiao Mochen's little white face had darkened so much...
Wait a minute.
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, how could he call this person Xiao Mochen, and why did he call him Xiao Baimian again?
Before Liu Xing came back to his senses, Hu Li said with a smile: "Then Xiao Mochen, you go and get busy with your own affairs first, remember to ask your father to leave a place for me in the teahouse in the afternoon, I suddenly want to play mahjong today." β
Xiao Mochen nodded, patted his chest and said, "Sister-in-law, it's no problem, I'll go back and tell my dad and keep the best location in the teahouse for you, then I'll leave first, and I'll see you in the afternoon, sister-in-law." β
After Xiao Mochen finished speaking, he turned around and left.
This person is really called Xiao Mochen.
Liu Xing looked at Xiao Mochen's distant back and fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, Liu Xing smelled a faint fragrance, which woke Liu Xing up from his contemplation, and Hu Li's beautiful face appeared in front of him, but this still scared Liu Xing, after all, no matter how beautiful or ugly, a face suddenly appeared in front of you, it would definitely have a frightening effect.
"Liu Xing, what's wrong with you, as soon as you come back, you'll sit here alone in a daze." Hu Li said with a smile.
Liu Xinggang wanted to say that he was fine, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind - Hu Li, Xiao Mochen, Hu Cang, Panlong Lake, Hualai Temple, Bamboo Forest, Watanabe Meteor, wedding, hypnosis...
One word after another flashed through Liu Xing's mind, and in the end, these words collided and merged with each other and became four wordsβlike a dream.
At this moment, the sound of the dice landing sounded again, and Liu Xing didn't care about Hu Li standing in front of him, and went straight to his mobile phone, this time the remarks of the caller number displayed on the mobile phone were - KP Xuefeng.
Liu Xing answered the phone without hesitation and put the phone to his ear.
On the other end of the phone, KP Xuefeng said with a smile: "Congratulations to the player Liu Xing for successfully passing the inspiration judgment and the will judgment and realizing that he is in an illusion realm. β
As soon as KP Xuefeng's voice fell, Liu Xing found that the scenery around him changed rapidly, and the only thing that remained unchanged was Hu Li in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Xing found himself back in the playground of Panlong Town Primary School, Hu Li was looking at him with a smile on his face, while Ishikawa Ling and the others fell to the ground.
