Chapter 4 journey without end

When I woke up in the morning, I vaguely recalled everything from last night, but I wasn't sure if I was dreaming. "Bang!" The door was pushed open suddenly, and Asuka rushed in like the wind.I was taken aback when I saw his expression, I had never seen such a panicked look on his face, even his voice was trembling, "Xiaowan, your mother, your mother is gone..." Gordon groaned in my heart, and I jumped up from the bed, "What did you say? Why didn't mom disappear?" He handed me a piece of paper in his hand, "She only left this letter, saying that she has to do something. I don't know when she will come back."

"Working? What are you doing? Why do you have to do it alone?" I had no idea for a moment, my heart was in a mess, and suddenly I remembered my mother's strange behavior last night. In other words, everything last night was not a dream, it was my mother. Come say goodbye to me! How could I be so stupid, why didn't I notice it at all!At this moment, I am so regretful that I wish I could slap myself a few times, "So what about Dad? Does he know?" I felt worried again. It would be even more serious if I let Dad know.Normally, Dad would leave in the early hours of the morning, and Mom probably waited for Dad to go back to the basement before leaving, maybe he hasn't noticed it yet.

"He probably doesn't know yet, but at night...if he knows about it, he might rush out to find your mother during the day." Asuka paused, with a worried expression on his face, "I really can't imagine his reaction." Where will mother go?The mysterious man with golden eyes suddenly appeared in my mind, could it be related to him? "I want to go to my mother's room to see if there are any clues." I whispered. Mother's room is as messy as usual, and her habit of putting things everywhere may never be changed.For some reason, seeing all this now makes my nose sore.

Mom, at least tell us where we are going... How can we be reassured by her reckless personality?At home, my dad and I spoil her and let her go. Now she will suffer a lot if she is alone outside. I opened the drawer and found a small box by accident.When I opened it, I found an ancient copper ring inside. "Asuka, what do you think this is?" Asuka took it over and took a look, slightly startled, "Isn't this Solomon's ring? It turns out that Master has already returned it to Xiao Yin, I didn't expect her to keep it hidden." 9cf Solomon's ring?I have never seen my mother take it out before, and when I looked carefully, I saw that the ring was shiny, and I couldn't help saying, "It looks like someone has touched it, otherwise it will be dusty after so long."

Asuka was taken aback, "Could it be that Xiaoyin..." "Anyway, maybe it's also a clue." I put the ring in my pocket. "By the way, I met a person who claimed to be my mother's friend." I hesitated, but said, "That person has a pair of golden eyes." As soon as the words fell, I saw Asuka's unbelievable expression, "He, is his left eye blind?" "How do you know?" I was a little surprised. He didn't answer me, and said to himself with a half-crying and half-smiling voice, "Master, Master...you still can't let her go, since you're here, why don't you show up? Why don't you come to see us..."

I was taken aback.Master?Could it be that the mysterious man is the master that mother and Asuka often mentioned? Today's weather is changeable, the stratus clouds outside the window are broken from time to time, and the sun is indistinct.Clouds floated in the courtyard, sometimes it was empty and sometimes it was dark. "Uncle Asuka, is there any way to hide it from Dad first?" I turned to look at Asuka, but I saw him staring straight at the door, as if his whole body had been petrified. Everything seemed to freeze at this moment, and even the annoying sound of cicadas disappeared in an instant.

Follow his gaze.I also looked over... The figure appearing at the door is like the slowly setting sun, like the reflection of snow-capped mountains on the lake.The long blond hair is like the color of sunflowers shining in the sun, and like all the brilliance of amber that has settled in the years.Brilliant and full of vitality, it seems to have taken away all the light of the sun, moon and stars.When I saw those familiar golden eyes, I couldn't help being shocked, it was him, that mysterious person! "Master, you are really here!" Asuka looked excited and stammered, "I haven't seen you since the last time when the child was born. Master, are you here this time? because……"

He nodded, "I know about Xiao Yin." "Master, what's going on?" Asuka asked impatiently. "Do you still remember what I mentioned when we met Xiaoyin last time?" He looked at Asuka, "If I guessed correctly, she should know about it." Asuka's face changed drastically, "Could it be..." He glanced in my direction, but didn't continue. "Whoever is going to come will come anyway. Xiaoyin probably tried to find a way to get there..." His face remained calm, "I didn't expect her to know about this in advance. I have already arranged everything, and I will wait until the time is right... ..."

"Go there? How is it possible? Master, even you don't know the exact location, how could she know, and I heard that it is full of endless illusions... If you are not careful, you will be trapped in it forever, Xiaoyin alone How can people..." "Where did my mother go?" Listening to what they said, I couldn't help but become more anxious.Although I don't quite understand what they mean, but one thing I understand very well is that she went to a very dangerous place! Only then did he set his eyes on me, and said lightly, "We meet again." "Tell me, where is my mother? I'm going to find her, no matter how dangerous it is, I'm going to find her!" I said anxiously.

He still looked at me blankly, "No matter how dangerous it is, you will go?" I nodded heavily. "Master, how can Xiaowan go? If something happens to her, how can I explain to Xiaoyin and Sanatesi?" Asuka said with hesitation and worry, "Why don't I go?" He shook his head, "Only she can solve everything, not even Xiaoyin. Fate is hard to break, just like the trajectories of stars rising and falling in the night sky, which can never be changed. I originally planned to let her solve it by herself, but I didn't expect Xiaoyin Hide her..." "But Master, even you don't know the exact location, how can Xiaoyin know? How did she get there?"

"I don't know about that, because there is no other way to go except that way, unless..." He paused, then turned to me, "But the process of searching will be more difficult than you imagined, you Are you mentally prepared? If not, I will never force you." "No, never, I will definitely bring my mother back." I said firmly. "Then, tonight, you go to the train station in the city and wait. When a red train stops, you go up. When you get there, someone will tell you what to do." He said lightly. I was stunned, "Train? Train at midnight? Train to which city?" In my impression, there have never been any red trains in China.89f He looked at me, "You'll know when you get there. Remember, you must not get on the wrong train when it's midnight." "I won't make a mistake," I said firmly, and suddenly remembered something, "But, can you hide it from my father for a while, I'm afraid he will find out...he will go crazy." He said in a deep voice, "It's not difficult. I will temporarily seal up the time here. Until you come back, everything here will not change, including Sanatesi, who will still be in a deep sleep. However, time Sealed spells have a limited period, so you don't have much time." "Don't worry, I will definitely bring my mother back before he knows!" I stared at his golden eyes, and I couldn't help being a little amazed. This man was able to seal up time. It's unbelievable. what. "Then..." His expression was softer than before, "Let's prepare before we leave." I have never felt that the day is so difficult, and I finally stayed up until midnight. I followed what he said and came to the train station in the city center.There are very few trains departing at midnight, so there are only a few passengers in the waiting room. Looking at the green trains parked beside the tracks, I couldn't help but doubt what he said, would there really be any red cars?It doesn't look like— when------- At this moment, there was a heavy chime of the clock, and the distant and long sound sounded a bit creepy in this silent night. I looked at my phone, -----It's exactly Zishi. An incredible thing happened, and the sound of a train rumbling into the station was heard not far away. Looking outside the waiting room, I couldn't help being surprised, a train was slowly entering the station. Red like fire, red like blood, ------- a red train full of weird feelings. The other people in the waiting room were all doing their own things in a daze, as if they didn't feel that there was a car coming into the station at all. But the ticket gate opened automatically with a click. I can't control that much, I just passed the ticket gate and walked in the direction of that train. This looks like an extremely antique train, the exterior looks rusty and rusty, and the dim lights are shining strangely in every window, making it impossible for me to see the people sitting inside. Saw some vague figures. As soon as I stepped on the train, I felt a strange feeling. This sleeping car was very empty, only a few people were sitting at the end and the middle was empty.I randomly picked one of the middle seats and sat down. In front of me was a pair of passengers who looked like a mother and daughter. Next to them were two young girls dressed in fashion. Behind me was a very young boy. He was wearing a hat with the brim pulled down, earphones in his ears, and he was resting with his eyes closed. Behind him was a slightly rich middle-aged man, his expression was unnatural compared to the others, but the young woman nestled in his arms had a charming smile on her face. Strange trains, strange carriages, strange passengers... Why would he let me on this train? "Excuse me, where is the destination of this train?" I couldn't help asking the mother and daughter. Strangely, they didn't seem to see me. "No matter how many times you ask, they won't answer." A familiar voice came from behind me, I looked back, and a pair of golden eyes came into view, ah, isn't this my mother's master?I froze, "Why are you here?" He didn't answer my question, but continued, "Because, this is a train whose destination no one knows." "What's going on?" I asked puzzled. "In this world, besides the time and space we are in, there are many different time and space. Between time and space, there will be this special train connecting, and trains of different colors lead to different time and space. Every midnight , the gate of the different dimension space will be opened for a period of time, and during this period of time, people will step on this train intentionally or unintentionally." "You mean, we're going to a different time and space now?" I widened my eyes. "Yes, every stop of the train is a different time and space, and all you have to do is get off the train and complete the task you want. Only when you complete the task, the train can move on. That is to say, Only when all the tasks are completed can the train stop at the end, and the end of this train should be where your mother is." "Different time and space?" I was even more surprised, "Then what task do I want to complete?" "The cause of the past life, the result of the future life, only by solving the client's past life fate can the train continue to move forward." "The client? But where did the client come from?" I looked at the passengers around me hesitantly, and a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, "Could it be that they are...?" "So. Are you ready?" I nodded, "Just let this start quickly." "You don't have to be in such a hurry, the time hasn't come yet." He sat down opposite me. "How can I not be in a hurry? As long as I get there, find my mother, and then I can bring her back, can't I?" Although I still don't quite understand the nature of this task, nothing can stop me from finding my mother. . He stared at me for a few seconds, seemed hesitant to speak, then suddenly turned his head and looked out the window, without saying anything. Only the sound of a whistle came, and the train started slowly... I looked outside, at the vast black night outside the window, and felt a little more unreal in my heart. "I said, why are you so stupid! Why did you only get third in the exam this time! You have the face to tell me! I think you might as well die!" The mother suddenly came from the front row. Scolding, she scolded, and hit the girl several times.The girl just bit her lower lip and remained silent.I was a little surprised, how can a mother curse a child like this? However, it's none of my business anyway. My dad often reminds me not to care about other people's affairs, which have nothing to do with us. "By the way, I only know that you are Uncle Asuka's master, but I don't know your name yet." I turned my head and looked at him, "You can call me Si Yin." He still maintained his original posture. "Calling my mother's master's name directly? If my mother hears it, she must be in the family again." I shrugged. His golden eyelashes fluttered a few times, and he whispered, "Family law? I don't remember Xiao Yin being so fierce." "You don't know, my mother's family law is to watch horror movies with her all night, and if she falls asleep and wakes up, it's better to beat me up." "Watching horror movies?" There was a faint smile on his lips, "it hasn't changed at all." "By the way. Mom, where did she go and why did she go? What happened to her?" Hearing my question, the smile on his lips disappeared quickly, and he returned to his usual indifference. "Rest early, there will be a task tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he lay down on the bunk and turned sideways. Uh--------Mom's master...seems to be difficult to get along with. "When my mother comes back, I am willing to watch horror movies with her every day." I said in a low voice. His body seemed to move slightly, but he didn't say anything. In the early morning, the sun shone warmly into the car.I rubbed my eyes, looked out the window, and was startled.What kind of train in different time and space, this is clearly a scene I am familiar with. "Although it is a scene you are familiar with, ordinary people cannot see this train." Si Yin's voice came from the opposite side at the right time, and I raised my head, just in time to see his pair of golden eyes, light sunlight It was as if everything had melted into his eyes. "Good morning, Si Yin." I smiled sweetly at him. He looked at my smile, seemed to be absent-minded for a moment, and blurted out: "Xiaoyin...?" I blinked, "I'm Xiao Xiaoyin." He froze for a moment, and a faint smile floated in his eyes, "You really look like your mother when you smile." "Of course, I'm her daughter." I laughed, glanced at the passengers around me, and asked suspiciously, "By the way, where is the client you mentioned?" The corner of his mouth slightly raised, "Here we come." As soon as he finished speaking, I saw the daughter of the mother and daughter in front of me get up and walk towards us. Could it be that today's client----she? But if you talk here, won't everyone in the whole car hear it?Si Yin seemed to guess what I was thinking, and said: "When she stepped into my barrier, the outside world couldn't hear anything." The girl was about the same age as me, but she looked haggard.She walked up to Si Yin and asked tentatively, "Did you entrust me with the dream that day?" Si Yin nodded calmly, "Tell me about your troubles." The girl was only slightly taken aback before returning to her normal expression, "Really? As long as I step on this train, can I change the current situation?" Si Yin nodded to her. "Then I'll cut to the chase. My name is Jiang Ying. My family is a single-parent family. Since I was a child, my mother kept comparing me with other children. She always said that other children's children were better than mine. If I do well, I should. If I don’t do well, I will be rewarded with a stick. She has high demands on me, and she also wants to save face. Every time I take the exam, I will take the first place. Otherwise, I will be beaten and kicked. I'm so tired, I really can't take it," she said all this in one breath, then stopped abruptly, looked at Si Yin and said each word, "If it's possible, I really hope she can disappear from my eyes forever." "What!" I gave her a cold look, "You're crazy! That's your mother!" Si Yin didn't respond, but put his index finger on her forehead, and saw a row of distorted words appearing there. "If you want to know what happened in the past, what you have suffered in this life, the cause of the past life, and the result of the future life, the unhappiness that you mother and daughter have had in this life is ultimately due to the root of fate you planted in the previous life." "What is the source of fate?" Jiang Ying blurted out. "The root of your fate, in ancient Rome more than 2,000 years ago, there was an Egyptian queen named Cleopatra, who believed in the lies of the Roman consul Octavian, deliberately lost in the naval battle and betrayed her. My lover Antony, Octavian, just used her." "What does this have to do with me?" Jiang Ying looked blank. "Your mother was that Egyptian queen in her previous life, and you..." Si Yin paused. "Could it be that Octavian was her previous life?" I blurted out. Si Yin shook his head, "In her previous life, she was a young general named Agrippa next to Octavian." "What?" I looked at him suspiciously. "But according to what you said, even if she resented, she should also resent Octavian, why Agrippa?" I remembered the history books I read when I was a child, "What does this have to do with Agrippa?" "You need to figure out the reason." Si Yin's golden eyes were filled with uncertainty. Jiang Ying stood there blankly, and said for a long time, "Nonsense, how is it possible? She and I had such a relationship in the previous life? But, even if it is true, it has gone through so many reincarnations. Could it be that she Are you still resentful?" Si Yin glanced at her, "Although she has gone through countless reincarnations, the injury at the beginning of fate will still subtly affect her. Even if she loves you in her heart now, the way she shows it will be unacceptable." Jiang Ying sneered, "She loves me? I think she also wishes that I would disappear sooner." "Only by going back to that era and changing the root of your destiny, then everything will change now." "It would be best if she could disappear." Jiang Ying snorted coldly, turned and returned to her seat. As soon as we sat down, we heard her mother's complaints. "Did you hear everything clearly?" Si Yin raised his eyes and looked at me. "I heard it clearly. In fact, it is easy to solve. Since she formed an alliance with Octavian in the naval battle, which led to this ending, then I will let them not form an alliance." His face was calm, "Xiao Wan, you have to remember that the general direction of history cannot be changed. If Octavian's defeat is caused by your intervention and major historical events are changed, then the modern Everything will change accordingly. What you have to solve and change is more of the inner obsessions of human beings." I nodded, "It doesn't matter if it's like this, don't worry, this matter is not difficult for me, I will definitely think of other ways. Moreover, I am very familiar with the history there. I have liked to read those histories since I was a child." Book." "You've watched it since you were a child?" Si Yin seemed a little surprised, "Well, because my mother said that she has read those books since she was a child, so there are also such books in the bookcase at home. She thinks it is not a bad thing for me to read more of them." Although my mother asked me to read it, it is undeniable that I I am also quite interested. "So it's like this..." His expression was in a trance for a moment. "That's good." His expression quickly returned to normal, and he looked out the window. "Soon, we'll be at the first stop. Rome in 31 BC." As soon as he finished speaking, the train suddenly entered a long tunnel, the surroundings were pitch black, only the small light on the roof was shining faintly. "But how do I get back? Also, if I have to stay there for a long time?" I suddenly thought of this. He took out a blue pill from his arms, "After you complete the task and see this pill turns white, take this pill, you will return to the same place in modern times, and find The local train station continues to wait for the train that arrives at midnight. Of course, if you don't complete the task, Hui Yumenmaru will not change color and you will not be able to come back." "What does this mean, that is to say, if I don't have a mission, then I won't be able to come back?" I was slightly taken aback, and then immediately relieved, "But it doesn't matter, with my magic, it must be a piece of cake dish." He didn't speak, but just looked at me with a meaningful look in his eyes, "There is one more important thing, no matter what era you are in, you are not allowed to use any of your magic." Crash --- I seem to hear the sound of something cracking in the top of my head. "Why?" I didn't understand. "I can't tell you why now, but if you accidentally use magic once, your chances of finding your mother will be reduced by 10%, understand?" 65 "What?" I blurted out, how could this be, without magic... "Are you scared?" His golden eyes were unfathomable. "Afraid? It's a joke, even without magic, I can handle it," I glared at him, and quickly snatched Huimengwan, "I, Ye Wan, won't be afraid!" "Night?" He laughed dumbfounded, "This name..." "What's so ridiculous, isn't it that I was born two months later than other children, and my mother was lazy and gave me such a name," I felt a little depressed when I thought about it. To add her surname, it turned out to be a word like this... "Did Xiaoyin take it?" There was a faint smile on his lips. "Nice --name." "But..." I just said two words, and suddenly I felt a bright light in front of me. The train had already exited the long tunnel and started to slow down slowly... I quickly looked out the window, but only saw a vast expanse of whiteness. "Have you arrived? Is this here?" No matter how I look at it, this place doesn't look like ancient Rome more than 2,000 years ago. "Through this layer of white fog, you can reach the city of Rome in 31 BC." Si Yin raised his eyes and said, "Remember, the time there is different from the real time, a month there is equivalent to a day here, do you understand? I nodded, that's fine, it won't waste too much time. The car finally stopped. I stood up, pushed open the door, jumped down lightly, and walked a few steps forward. When I looked back, I found that the entire train had disappeared into the mist. I took a deep breath and continued walking forward. I can feel the beating of my heart------- as long as I pass through the white mist, can I really reach that glorious era that has been submerged in the long river of history? The following is a few nonsense, talking about why the train crossed this time, it was the inspiration I got when I accompanied my dad to Norway to see the fjords in July.Before arriving at the fjord, there is one of the most beautiful railway landscapes in the world. There will be many long tunnels, and the darkness and light will alternate, which makes people feel magical. At that time, I was old Dad suddenly said something that made my jaw drop, "What if we find that we have crossed when we go out of the tunnel?" (My dad reads a lot of my books, quack...) At that time, my eyes lit up, quack, yes, this time I used the train to wear it, every tunnel is an era, and the ancient and modern scenery will not be missed. .
