Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Lao Zhao told the truth: "No, I don't miss you."

"..."

Gail Russell's expression froze: "I think about you every day."

The implication is: I miss you every day, why don’t you miss me?

But I couldn't ask after all.

Ganfan came back from outside, shook off the snow on his body, and called out to her twice to say hello.

“Ganfan…” Gail Russell ran over and hugged Ganfan.

Gan Fan sneezed and pushed her away in disgust.

Gail Russell is still shy at heart, but she is no longer socially anxious.

She used to earn $50 a week, but now she can get paid by the film.

Her parents and her older brother still wanted to control her, so she followed Zhao Chuanxin's instructions and kept poking her parents with soft nails, which gradually made them lose their temper.

But her elder brother still pestered her and used moral blackmail on her just to get some money.

When Zhao Chuanxin was cooking, she hugged him from behind.

"Let go, can't you see I'm cooking?"

"Do not."

She held on and wouldn't let go.

The muscles on Zhao Chuanxin's back were like waves, surging layer by layer. Gail Russell was shocked and stepped back involuntarily. He looked at Zhao Chuanxin's back in astonishment, suspecting that it was all an illusion.

This man is so mysterious, so mysterious that it's maddening.

In the evening, Zhao Chuanxin read the newspaper in a recliner next to the fireplace.

Rumors in the newspapers speculated why Zhao Nianzhen suddenly disappeared when he was at the peak of his career.

Some people said that she was kidnapped by a gangster and kept as a concubine, while others said that she was under too much pressure and drank too much, which led to her mental breakdown...

Zhao Chuanxin turned to the other side to read other news.

Gail Russell had just gone to her room, tidied herself up, and hurried to the living room.

She turned on the TV to watch a program, and inched her butt towards Zhao Chuanxin.

Then he exhaled into Zhao Chuanxin's ear: "Why are you ignoring me?"

"Are you a child? Do you still need adult attention?"

"Old man, am I not just a child in front of you?"

"Go up to the side."

Gail Russell mustered the courage to unload.

She could only change the subject and ask, "Your house is so warm, is the fireplace so hot?"

Of course, there is heat source gems for heating, and the geothermal pipes are laid densely, so how can it not be warm?

Old Zhao was afraid that Zhao Nianzhen would be cold.

The fireplace is just a decoration.

Zhao Chuanxin ignored her.

However, this side of the newspaper published gossip about Gail Russell.

Newspapers claimed that Gail Russell and John Wayne were having an affair.

John Wayne was in the process of divorcing his wife.

Gail Russell said quickly, "Don't believe this. John is a good man. He just wants to help me. There is nothing between us."

Zhao Chuanxin turned the newspaper over and said, "It's none of my business."

Gail Russell was choked and rolled his eyes.

night.

The night lights on each step of the stairs are on, and there is a dim indicator light for the bathroom in the corridor.

Zhao Chuanxin's bedroom door was pushed open. Gail Russell hesitated, trembling with fear, and slowly groped to the bed. Then, he mustered up his courage, slid into the quilt, and entangled himself with her.

As a result, I ended up being lonely.

no one.

The courage I mustered up again disappeared without a trace.

She wanted to get up and go back to her room, but when she smelled the odor of Zhao Chuanxin's room, she didn't want to leave.

Zhao Chuanxin has no body odor, his endocrine balance is stable, and the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid axis, hypothalamus and adrenal axis accurately regulate hormone synthesis.

Just like Benjamin and dry rice, you should supplement what you lack and control the redundant absorption, and you will be incredibly healthy.

Sometimes, no taste is also a taste.

Gail Russell was obsessed with it.

……

Zhao Chuanxin went fishing at Lake Lowell, a hundred kilometers away.

There were more than a dozen young people camping in the snow by the lake, laughing and drinking around a campfire. In the middle of winter, they were playing guitar like fools, their fingers numb from the cold.

When they saw Zhao Chuanxin carrying a bucket of water, they stopped talking about the guitar, their laughter became quieter, and they all looked at him curiously.

"What does this man do?"

"He's not a pervert, is there any good person who comes to the lake with a bucket in the middle of the night?"

Zhao Chuanxin ignored them, carried the bucket into the frozen lake, and soon disappeared into the night.

The group of young people continued to sing and dance.

When Zhao Chuanxin chiseled a hole in the ice, there was no need for bait at all, as all the fish in the lake crowded around the hole to breathe.

Zhao Chuanxin used a wooden pole with a four-claw hook to reach into the water. With a precise thrust, he hooked a 40-centimeter-long largemouth black bass by its gills and pulled it up.

He casually threw the largemouth bass onto the ice and it froze stiff in an instant.

There were many fish underwater, and Zhao Chuanxin selected the fish and hooked them.

No small ones, no carp, no channel catfish, no green sunfish, only yellow catfish, bluegill sunfish and largemouth bass.

Soon, the bucket he brought was filled with frozen fish. Zhao Chuanxin was about to get up and go home when he heard screams coming from the young people at the camping site by the lake.

He carried the bucket and walked slowly over there.

"Fuck you, get out of here."

"If you don't leave, I'll make you pay."

A group of young people threatened a bobcat that was watching from a distance, and some even used burning firewood sticks to scare the bobcat.

Zhao Chuanxin whistled.

The young men were stunned for a moment, and then they saw the mountain cat running towards Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a yellow catfish from the bucket, threw it to the big cat, and stroked its head.

The big cat made a purring sound.

Zhao Chuanxin patted its butt and said, "Get lost."

The bobcat ran away with the fish in its mouth.

"Hey, Asian guy, is that cat yours?" A young man with a thick mushroom-like haircut pointed at Zhao Chuanxin in a menacing manner while holding a stick of firewood.

In such a vast sea of ​​people, meeting each other is a retribution.

Zhao Chuanxin walked towards the young man.

The group of young people became nervous.

Da Piaoliang had already shouted out the slogan of "Lost Generation" in advance.

Due to the rapid economic development, the younger generation is filled with materialism, hedonism, and individualism, and they openly oppose the mainstream culture with their extreme lifestyle.

Zhao Chuanxin slapped away the red-hot firewood sticks, took out a fish from the bucket, and slapped the young man in the face.

Snapped.

The young man's face was swollen from the frozen fish.

"You dare to hit someone?"

"Shit, fuck him!"

Zhao Chuanxin carried the frozen fish, and moved it left and right, one child at a time. In a moment, three of them fell down.

The rest didn't dare to come forward.

Seeing the hot water boiling on the campfire, Zhao Chuanxin sat down on a folding chair, took out his tea leaves, and made a pot of tea to drink.

The people around looked at each other in bewilderment, their scalps tingling.

Zhao Chuanxin took a few sips of tea, put the cup aside, and hooked his finger at the young man holding the guitar.

The young man hastily handed him the guitar.

A girl with a big butt who was wearing bell-bottom pants that made her butt deformed, hesitantly stepped forward and said, "Sir, we are very sorry to cause you trouble. Could you please not make a fuss with us?"

Zhao Chuanxin ignored her and started playing the guitar with a cigarette in his mouth.

It's a very simple tune.

The faint memories flowing through the fingers gradually calm the young people's inner restlessness.

Zhao Chuanxin paused, a look of reminiscence appeared on his face, and then he continued playing.

"The girl told me that I was a thief who stole her memories and stuffed them into my mind... carrying her dreams... and she gradually forgot about me..."

Zhao Chuanxin had a cigarette in his mouth, which did not stop him from singing, and the ashes fell from his lips.

It became even quieter.

There was only the crackling of the campfire.

Zhao Chuanxin paused again and threw the cigarette butt into the campfire.

The fire flickered.

When I played it again, the tune changed.

"She is the fantasy that shattered the stars and fell into my dreams, the power that traveled across the galaxy looking for you..."

The tune changes again: "The lonely person in youth, have you found her and kept your promise in the everlasting summer? The brave can go it alone..."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled, returned the guitar to the young man, and stared at the campfire in a daze, holding the teacup.

The firelight flickered in his eyes, flashing and disappearing.

The girl who was talking to Zhao Chuanxin recalled the black holes mentioned in the scientific magazine - probably this is what it looks like when light is swallowed by a black hole.

"Sir, you sing so beautifully. Are you missing someone?"

Zhao Chuanxin didn't explain. He took out a hard fish from the bucket and threw it on the ground as a reward, then got up and left.

……

When Gail Russell woke up, Zhao Chuanxin was still gone.

She went downstairs and found Zhao Chuanxin cooking. The restaurant was filled with the aroma of chicken and fish.

Dry rice is waiting for dry rice.

The sun shines in through the lattice windows.

Gail Russell was in a trance.

Maybe the years are just so peaceful and quiet, right?

Zhao Chuanxin said without even turning his head, "We're having black tea chicken with rice and fried fish this morning. Hurry up and wash up. The meal will be ready soon."

There is a plate for each person on the dining table.

He squatted on the chair with his backpack open, and used his puppet arms to hold the knife, fork and spoon to put food into his mouth, which made Gail Russell stunned.

She noticed that Zhao Chuanxin didn't seem to chew the food. When the food entered his mouth, he only moved his mouth twice before swallowing it.

He has a huge appetite and needs to eat quickly.

After dinner, she followed Zhao Chuanxin to feed the horses.

The horse cried out when it saw Zhao Chuanxin grinning.

Zhao Chuanxin slapped it and said, "Smile a few times."

horse:"……"

Gail Russell learned from Zhao Chuanxin how to comb the horse's hair and clean its body.

First build relationships, then ride on horses and visit neighbors while having dinner.

She had never been happier in her life.

Her body felt lighter.

She had a gun on her belt and was riding a horse, galloping across the snow that was shining brightly in the sun, her nose tip red from the cold.

Under the guidance of famous teachers, she learned all kinds of weapons and her marksmanship improved to godlike level.

In the afternoon, she painted on the drawing board and played the classical guitar on the wall. She was very happy.

At night, she went into Zhao Chuanxin's bedroom with ease.

Zhao Chuanxin had fallen asleep and was woken up by her.

He has a strong blood and vigor, even young people can't compare to him.

He said it first: "You have to go back and live your own life."

"Why?" Gail Russell kept moving.

"Birth, old age, sickness, death, failure to obtain what you desire, meeting with those you hate, separation from those you love, the five elements prevail. You will understand when you grow up."

"Then I can't get what I want now. I'm about to be separated from my love. I'm in pain."

"Nonsense, are you in pain now?"

"Yes."

"Is it so painful?"

"Yes."
