...

Xia Yan felt that Jiang Xiao was crazy. Most importantly, she also liked to go crazy.

After the plane landed at Taiping Airport, he took the two of them and hurriedly got into the taxi. He told the driver to drive to the city first, and then searched for the location of a large bookstore on his mobile phone.

It was obvious that Jiang Xiao didn’t plan to go home, take a shower, change his clothes, or rest. He planned to go shopping directly.

However, Jiang Xiao’s destination made Xia Yan and Han Jiangxue’s shopping standards rise to a higher level.

A bookstore?

This place was quite novel.

Han Jiangxue had also noticed that Jiang Xiao couldn’t even wait to place an order online. Even if it would only take a day for the goods to arrive, he was unwilling to wait.

Han Jiangxue also took out her mobile phone and opened the search engine.

“What are we going to do at the bookstore?” Xia Yan asked curiously.

After some thought, Jiang Xiao replied,”I’m buying some children’s books. I have a friend.”

“Eh? A little kid?” Filled with doubts, Xia Yan was about to ask something else when Han Jiangxue had already spoken. She looked at the screen of her mobile phone and said softly,” 300 Tang Poems, rules of disciples, ancient Chinese fables, and idioms.”

Jiang Xiao’s teeth ached when he heard that. He was initially very anxious, but as soon as he heard the “disciples ‘rules”, he recalled the time he spent in the Star Warriors’ small black room in the capital, as well as the mushroom-shaped Warden, Xie alla.

Xia Yan also fiddled with her mobile phone and joined the siblings in searching for books. She said,””Selected fairy tales by Anderson, Grimm’s Fairy Tales, One Thousand and One Nights, and The Little Prince.”

Jiang Xiao nodded secretly and said,”I’ll buy them all! I’ll buy them all!” I’ll buy whatever you two say!”

The driver chimed in and said,”My child is six years old now. He’s reading the legend of Water Bank. He’s holding a plastic machete every day and jumping around. He’s so happy!”

Jiang Xiao was speechless.

Xia Yan burst into laughter and said,””You can understand Water Margin at the age of six?”

The driver glanced at Xia Yan in disdain through the rearview mirror and said,””It’s a picture. There aren’t many words, it’s all a picture.”

Jiang Xiao interjected and looked at the “expert” before saying,””What do your children like to play with?”

The driver: “Didn’t I tell you? you’re carrying a plastic machete and jumping up and down every day.”

Jiang Xiao’s face darkened and he said,’and ...’ What else do you like to play?”

The driver asked,”what else do you like to play?” I don’t know what he’s doing with pesticides. Anyway, his mother and I don’t give him a phone to play with anymore. Now, he’s holding a plastic machete every day ...”

Jiang Xiao chimed in,’stop! I know, I know ...”

The car slowly stopped in front of a Xinhua Bookstore in Dongcheng Area. The three of them paid the money and got out of the car, leaving slowly.

Jiang Xiao turned to look at Han Jiangxue and said with uncertainty,””How about ... Let’s go buy a plastic machete?”

Han Jiangxue was speechless.

Half an hour later.

The three of them walked out of the bookstore with a pile of books in their arms. At the corner of the stairs, they threw all the books into Han Jiangxue’s Sky Smasher before walking onto the street.

“Buy him some snacks,” Han Jiangxue said.

Jiang Xiao hesitated for a moment and said,”I don’t dare to. I can keep the books and read them over and over again. I can also buy toys, but if it’s snacks, they’ll be gone after eating them. He’ll always remember the taste and can’t get what he wants. I think it’s a kind of torture ...”

Han Jiangxue said,”what do you think his reaction will be after he reads these books and reads one story after another? he’s seen the colorful world one after another. What do you think?” You can’t get it even if you want to. ”

Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and did not know how to answer.

Xia Yan finally couldn’t help but ask,””Which child are you buying these things for? Is she from the orphanage?”

While checking his mobile phone, Jiang Xiao said,””Do you remember that I told you I was searching in the upper dimension?”

Xia Yan nodded.

Jiang Xiao’s words were simple and clear.”I’ve found a few missing soldiers and a child. I’ve also found the way to their residence.”

Xia Yan’s mouth turned into an “O” shape and she was dumbfounded for a long time before she said,””If we go from the holy ground to the upper dimension, isn’t the landing spot random?” he asked.

“I’ve found the way,”Jiang Xiao said.

Xia Yan was speechless.

At the same time, in the upper dimension.

Four adults and a child were sitting in the stone chamber.

Cang LAN was still holding Yuan Yuan in her arms and staring at Jiang Xiao in disbelief. To someone who had no concept of time, five months and ten months were the same.

The only difference was that Jiang Xiao had returned!

Jiang Xiao, the decoy, spread open a large piece of white Ghoul skin and laid it on the ground.””Your guess is correct. The snowfield here is pieced together by the same scene.”

Hu Wei had the same reaction as Cang LAN and didn’t have time to look at the map at all. Instead, he kept staring at Jiang Xiao’s circular mask, seemingly still in shock.

Zhang songfu hurried forward and looked at the map on the ground.

Jiang Xiao’s drawing skills were very low, and he had marked the terrain with Chinese characters on the lines.

Besides, the scale of the front and back of the map was also different. Obviously, when Jiang Xiao was drawing the map, the lines were more detailed, but they became smoother and smoother after that.

Jiang Xiao stood in the middle of the White Ghoul skins and pointed to the right.””That area is complete. Starting from the middle, there are two identical areas on the left. I drew them small, but those two areas are as big as the more detailed area on the right, and the terrain is exactly the same.”

“What?” Zhang songfu furrowed his brows slightly and said,”so, the three identical areas form the snowfield of this upper dimension?”

Jiang Xiao nodded and said,”it’s like this! This should be the border.

I believe that when I flew to the left and reached a certain position, I should have crossed the boundary and returned to the right. ”

Jiang Xiao thought about it silently and said,”wait for me. My drawing is too rough. Let me look for the overlapping points.”

Zhang songfu directly rolled up the map. The map was exposed, and the head and tail were connected.”This way.”

Jiang Xiao was the only one who could understand the topographic map. Otherwise, Zhang songfu would also be able to help.

Jiang Xiao held onto one side of the White Ghoul’s skin and knelt on the ground before moving forward slowly.

Canglan finally spoke,”you ...” It didn’t change its direction, and it’s flying back?”

Jiang Xiao smiled and the lines on the strange circular mask were slightly distorted.””Five months, is that a long time?”

“Let go, Roly Poly.” Canglan pushed Roly Poly’s hand away from her long hair and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Jiang Xiao, the decoy, paused for a moment and said,””I can only fly, I’m fast, I have a good view, and I’m not disturbed by any star beasts. If it were you, you’d be able to find it too ... I found it, here!”

The front was exposed, and the rolled up white Ghoul skins overlapped each other. On one side was the boundary of the beautifully outlined, twisted cliff, and on the other side was a vertical line ...

Zhang songfu took the map and tore off a small portion of the overlapping terrain at the back, leaving only the overlapping border.

Zhang songfu touched his chin with one hand and said,”We can’t be sure where you were really teleported back. Did you feel anything when you were teleported?”

Jiang Xiao felt helpless and shook his head with a wry smile.””No, I don’t feel anything.”

What a joke. For a full five months, all he could see was a vast expanse of White Forest and snowfield. If it weren’t for the fact that the terrain would change and Jiang Xiao had to stop to draw, he might have really lost his way.

“Have you found the exit?” Hu Wei asked with a trembling voice.

Instantly, the room fell into silence.

“I’m very sorry,”Jiang Xiao said after a long silence.

Hu Wei sighed softly. His rationality told him not to sigh, but his emotions made him react this way.

Even though the chances were slim, it was still very painful when it was extinguished.

So, what was the point of overlapping the terrain?

What was the point of finding the boundary of the teleportation?

Wouldn’t he be imprisoned in this vast snowfield for the rest of his life ...

Hu Wei and Cang LAN were really strong-minded, so they didn’t say these words.

They knew that they had no right to blame anyone, but as emotional people, they could not suppress their disappointment.

Jiang Xiao said,”this place isn’t infinite. The terrain overlaps with mine. That means I can find you.”

Cang LAN carried the child and held a stone bowl in her hand. She then walked towards Jiang Xiao and handed it to him before saying gently,””You’ve already found us. You’ve already worked very hard. Drink some water and rest.”

This time, Jiang Xiao opened his mouth.

To be exact, he opened the mask and drank all the water that was melted from the snow.

All of a sudden, they were stunned.

Jiang Xiao returned the stone bowl to Cang LAN and said,””What I mean is, if we enter this place again, I can still find you.”

Cang LAN took the stone bowl and stared at Jiang Xiao with widened eyes. Her dry lips trembled slightly as she asked,””You ...”

Jiang Xiao waved his hand casually and said,””You all have your own speculations and theories, so there’s no need to say more. I’ll only ask you one question.”

“What’s the problem?”Hu Wei hurriedly stood up and asked.

“What do you want?” Jiang Xiao asked.

Thump ... Thump ...

Canglan’s grip loosened, and the stone bowl fell to the ground, rolling around and making a few muffled sounds.

“There’s no hurry. I’ll be here for a day. ” Jiang Xiao put his arm around Zhang songfu’s shoulder and walked out.

The intelligent Zhang songfu had already realized what was about to happen.

Zhang songfu had never realized that the winding path from the stone room to the entrance of the cave was so long. The sound of each step seemed to have entered Zhang songfu’s heart.

What was meant to come would come.

Zhang songfu, who had stayed here for several years, had originally thought that he had already seen through the affairs of the world.

He had never thought that there would be a day when he would be “judged.”

Zhang songfu stood at the entrance of the cave, his Tiger-like eyes filled with desire and unease as he looked at the round mask.

However, ever since Jiang Xiao said his first sentence, hot tears had already gushed out of Zhang songfu’s eyes, and he was crying like a child.

“I’m fine. I’ve already retired. I like Square dancing, joining rookie groups, and going to the farmhouse to have fun ...”

“Uncle was also very healthy and strong. He drank three jars of white wine with me, but I cheated and drank one less glass ...”
