Xia Yuanqiu asked: "Am I similar to her?"
The old man took another careful look at Xia Yuanqiu, and then shook his head: "At first it looked a bit similar, but now it doesn't look like it anymore. Maybe it's just that your charms are somewhat similar, and your appearance is not quite the same."
"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, it's just that after so many years, she may have passed away long ago, hey—"
"Since it is very 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 responsibility, I am not qualified to enjoy the love of children, I can't leave here."
Even Zhu Yan, who has always been indifferent, couldn't help being curious about the old man.
"It's a barren place with no trace of people, why do you live here alone?" Zhu Yan asked.
This was what Xia Yuanqiu wanted to ask, she stared at the thin old man in front of her tightly, not missing any change in his expression.
The old man smiled wryly and shook his head: "Let's go, it's better not to know about some things! Knowing too much may not be a good thing."
Xia Yuanqiu said: "Senior, it may be a kind of predestined fate for us to come here and meet you. If you don't tell us, wouldn't it be a waste of this rare fate?"
The old man struggled to sit up, one of his legs was stiff and difficult to bend, and a very painful expression appeared on his face when he moved a little.
"What's wrong with your legs?" She could clearly see the skinny legs under the torn trousers.
The old man thumped his leg, which was almost numb except for the pain, and said with a wry smile: "The injury I suffered many years ago, I have to do it from time to time, I'm used to it."
Zhu Yan looked around. In the empty stone room, there was nothing but this bed, and there was no kettle with water beside it. How did he live?
The old man said: "Are you curious, how do 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 dryness, but you didn't use the air wall, and the air wall 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 after a long time, I gradually got used to this kind of heat, and the air wall is no longer needed. Healing food, let alone me to worry about it, don't you Looking at the desolation here, it seems that there is nothing. 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. It will come to my door, just like food will be delivered to my mouth, I don't have to worry about it at all, as for water, as long as I follow these strange beasts, I will always find a source of water, this is my life."
I see! !
Looking at the tattered clothes on the old man, Xia Yuanqiu couldn't help asking: "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, so long that I'm the only one left in this world. To be honest, sometimes I'm really lonely."
"Then why don't you go out?" Zhu Yan asked.
"I said, because I have my responsibility, it's not that I don't want to go, but I can't go!"
