Chapter 117 Endless

"Oh, it's so boring," Zhou Xiaoqing held her chin in her hand and thought about it. She didn't expect Xiaoxuan to be so bored here. Although Xiaoxuan always came to play with her, she was always pulled away by others before she said a few words.

There was a period of time, I don't know how Min Wen was doing? Zhou Xiaoqing wandered around the yard to see if there was anything new, but she just saw some weapons that she was not very familiar with. Every day, some people she didn't know went in and out, and there was nothing special. It is estimated that except for a few old women who cook in the kitchen, there is no woman. They are all men, and they are all informal and occasionally tell some unbearable jokes. It's really boring.

So Zhou Xiaoqing plans to find Shi Lao. The old man is more interesting, and it is estimated that he will not be eye-catching if he goes there by himself. After all, it is a remote place.

Zhou Xiaoqing chose a very gentle horse and searched for it according to the address given by Shi Lao. Along the way, she saw fewer and fewer pedestrians. Occasionally, a few woodcutter carried some hares, pheasants and so on their backs. They may go to the market to exchange some daily expenses. However, it was very comfortable. The sparrows danced on the dead branches and looked carefree.

After walking for about half an hour, I could see a forest in the distance. Yes, that's what Shi Lao said. The place where he lived in seclusion was a quiet place. It was surrounded by a forest outside. It was good to find a place in ancient times. Zhou Xiaoqing got off the horse. The road was not very Flat, it was a little difficult to sit on it, so it simply made the horse easier and came down directly.

The snow has melted a little. In the past few days, the sun has come out for a few days, but the snow is not cold and the snow is cold. This is still very reasonable. Zhou Xiaoqing felt so cold. She shrank her body, put her hand in her sleeve, and then led the horse's head and walked quickly. The horse gasped, and the white gas was above Zhou Xiaoqing's head.

"You also feel tired. Don't worry. It will be there soon. I'll give you some hay." Zhou Xiaoqing turned around and followed the horse. The horse was very good and had never been in trouble.

"Dong Dong!!!" Zhou Xiaoqing knocked on the door and waited for the response of the people inside. After a while, someone inside shouted, "Come on, wait a moment."

The door was opened by a person who had not met much, with a doubtful expression on his face, but the door was still closed alertly. Zhou Xiaoqing could not see the scene inside through this gap.

Zhou Xiaoqing immediately laughed, "Oh, I'm Zhou Xiaoqing. I want to visit Shi Lao."

The man's face is still expressionless. Is it that the weather has frozen and stiffened his expression? Girl, do you have an appointment again?

"No--but" Before Zhou Xiaoqing finished speaking, the young man was about to close the door. "I'm sorry, Mr. Shi didn't see anyone casually. Girl, please come back."

Zhou Xiaoqing immediately put her foot in the middle of the door, so that the man could not close the door immediately, "Girl, you!"

"Please, I'm not a casual person. Shi Lao knows me and helped treat the plague last time. You go and tell me that Zhou Xiaoqing and Shi Lao will agree to see me." Zhou Xiaoqing still refuses to close the door like this. After going so far, she always has to see the person she should see before she can go home. Otherwise, is it in vain to go so far?

Although the young man was unhappy, he still promised Zhou Xiaoqing to pass it on, "Well, just stand at the door and I'll go there." The young man said coldly and closed the door ruthlessly.

Zhou Xiaoqing rubbed her hands, took a breath, and stood quietly at the door and waited.

"Well, isn't this Miss Zhou?" Zhou Xiaoqing turned around and why the voice came from the outside. At a glance, it turned out to be Mr. Shi's servant who I saw last time. Now it's good, I finally met an acquaintance. Why did you come here and still stand at the door?"

"Oh," Zhou Xiaoqing doesn't know what to call him. After all, she just had a relationship, and there was no relationship before. "Isn't this waiting to go in?"

"No, girl, come in." The man laughed. He looks much kinder than the man just now. He is also a man. Why is there such a big difference in treating women?

Zhou Xiaoqing followed in and tied the horse to the stable beside her.

"Oh, Xiaoliang, this is Miss Zhou. How can you put her outside? Fortunately, I came back early, otherwise, you would have neglected the distinguished guests." It turned out that the cold and frosty face was a man named Xiaoliang. He was sweeping the floor at this moment and didn't remember that he was going to report this matter at all. It seemed that Zhou Xiaoqing really regarded Zhou Xiaoqing as an irrelevant person, and Zhou Xiaoqing was also fooled.

When Xiaoliang heard this, he remained calm and did not return at all. He continued to sweep his courtyard.

"Miss Zhou, don't pay attention to him. He has such a bad temper."

Zhou Xiaoqing smiled and said, it's okay. She thought, it's not the first time to see such a bad-tempered person. If they all care about it, how can they be in the mood to live?" By the way, brother, is Shi there?"

"Miss Zhou can call me Ping. Mr. Shi is studying chess in the room. I'll take you there." A Ping smiled and took Zhou Xiaoqing to the small room beside him. It was really unexpected that a figure who was so famous in the court lived in such a place. Although it was not very bleak, it was still inferior to ordinary people. Is it really back to the original?

"Shi Lao, who do you think is coming?" A Ping said, Mr. Shi raised his head and saw that it was Zhou Xiaoqing. "Ha ha, it's you, girl. I said why you didn't come to find me. It seems that you are a rare guest today."

"Shi Lao, aren't I here? It's really easy to find here. There are not many people in the wilderness. Zhou Xiaoqing walked over with a smile and put her cloak next to him. "How can you play chess alone?"

"Hehe, they won't come with them. I can't help it. Only one person is happy. Mr. Shi said with a smile.

"It's Mrs. Shi who is awesome. We can't win anyway. Anyway, it's a loser, so we won't come." A Ping laughed.

"Ha ha, if you don't concentrate on chess, of course you can't win. How can you do two purposes?" Shi Lao blamed A Ping with a smile, "If you are willing to accompany me, my old man doesn't have to be so lonely."

"Then I'll play with you. Anyway, it's boring and just to pass some time, but as agreed in advance, I'm not very good at playing chess. It's just to relieve your boredom." Zhou Xiaoqing said and sat down.

"Are you sure? But the old man doesn't seem to be in a good state, as if he has something on his mind. Shi Lao seemed to see through Zhou Xiaoqing and broke his words.

"So are you coming or not?" Zhou Xiaoqing was a little impatient, "There are still so many words to play chess with you."

While talking, the two began.

............

"No." Zhou Xiaoqing released the flag and said, "After so many plates, I only won twice. It's not that you deliberately released the water. I don't think it's these two times."

"Let me tell you, you are absent-minded. No matter how good chess is, you have no chance to win. Well, entertainment is enough. What can I do for you?" Shi Lao said.

"Just come and see my fellow villagers. What can I do?"

"Don't lie to me. What can a little boy of your age do? Isn't it just a love word?" Mr. Shi looked at the chessboard and said.

"Let's not talk about this for the time being. I remember you said last time that there would be some information about celestial phenomena. Do you still have it now?" Zhou Xiaoqing asked, "I just want to go back now. Let's forget the mess here as soon as a dream."

Shi Lao didn't say anything at this time, just walked to the back of the house and pulled out a few volumes from a large pile of information.

Zhou Xiaoqing turned over these complex sky pictures. She really couldn't understand them. She had learned physics for a few years. Since she didn't understand them at all and looked at them blankly, Zhou Xiaoqing raised her head and said, "Shi Lao, I don't understand these. You can tell me directly."

"These are all my painstaking efforts in recent years. Look," Shi Lao pointed to a figure. "This appearance only appeared once 30 years ago. Later, these stars slowly deviated from these orbits. According to my estimation, there will be no more machines connected to a line, at least not appear in the near future."

"No way, can't I go back?"

"No, and it is not ruled out that there is an accidental phenomenon. If you come to this side, it is still possible for Shi Lao to put his finger in the more obvious places in the middle, but I don't know when.

"Well, this doesn't make me feel good either." Zhou Xiaoqing sighed, "Anyway, I don't understand the principle you explain to me. This kind of insecurity has made me so entangled recently. By the way, what did you ask? Didn't you come back when you had a chance to go back?

Zhou Xiaoqing refers to 30 years ago.

Shi Lao heard this, "Maybe I'm used to it. At least there are still people here that I can't give up."

"Ah?" Zhou Xiaoqing was a little surprised. Who would it be?

"My wife passed away ten years ago. I just couldn't let her go, so I chose to stay here. There are too many memories of me here." Mr. Shi sighed, "So I told you at the beginning that if you choose to leave here, remember that you must not be emotional, otherwise you will be very painful when you leave."

"Yes, ten years of life and death are boundless. I don't think about it and I can't forget it. You must love her very much." Zhou Xiaoqing sighed, "But if the emotions of many people can be controlled at will, it is not human. This is the weakness of many people, and it is also a valuable place for people, isn't it?"

"Are you worried about your prince? Worried that you will leave one day?" Mr. Shi asked.
