I opened the food box and saw a dish of green tofu and two steamed buns inside. It was a simple lunch, but it made me feel the warmth of home.

It’s been a long time since I went home. I wonder how my sturdy old lady and cowardly dad are doing now. When I thought of my mother, my nose suddenly sore and tears almost fell. Although she was always fierce to me like a tigress, but at this moment, I don't know why I miss her so much.

I was in a daze holding the food box, Gao Peng and Li Yuantai came from behind.

Gao Peng brought his handsome face over and stared at my eyes carefully, "Luffy, what's wrong, my eyes are red, what did the man say that moved you like this."

I shook my head, "He didn't say anything, I just...suddenly missed home."

Speaking of homesickness, the atmosphere suddenly became serious. I know everyone is homesick.

Especially after traveling to this inexplicable ancient times, I want to go home even more.

Celluloid and Dumb also came from behind panting.

"Oh, there are big white steamed buns and green vegetable tofu. I'm hungry."

Celluloid said, reaching out to grab the bun.

I patted her hand. "There are only two steamed buns. We have five of us. You don't want to swallow one steamed bun by yourself?"

Celluloid snorted dissatisfiedly, "You found all of this."

"Well, there are only two steamed buns. Then I share one steamed bun with Celluloid and Duan. Gao Peng and Li Yuantai are taller, and you two share another steamed bun. Now everyone can see what wild fruits are around. Yes, and then Dumb will mess with roast chicken or roast fish. Let's arrange this meal first."

I thought that the distribution was fair, but as soon as the voice fell off, I still heard Celluloid snorting, but this time she didn't speak, but took Gao Peng to pick the wild fruits.

Due to the lack of staple food for this meal, I feel not full no matter what.

As soon as we finished our meal, we discovered that the boy had hurried back.

"Oh, I left in a hurry, and forgot to take the food box. The food is crude, do you still taste it?" the boy said embarrassedly.

"Thank you very much." I smiled sincerely.

After we said goodbye to him, we walked far away, and when I turned around, I found that he was still standing there. So he waved to him, motioned him to go back quickly. But he didn't move, he just stood there looking at us, he stood there very seriously as if he was making a major decision.

Although he is wearing a mask, I can't see his expression, but I think he should be serious about making a decision.

"Wait a minute, don't go."

He seemed to have finally decided, and ran towards us.

"I think it's not safe for the five of you to live in the wilderness. It's better to go to my house for a night." He panted.

Celluloid and Dui immediately jumped up happily, "Really? Great. There is a place to live tonight."

We followed him to the depths of the valley.

Soon, we saw a beautiful city with the three characters Golden Elephant State written on the gate.

The soldier guarding the city gate was very surprised when he saw us. The boy stepped forward to explain for us. The soldier wanted to say something, and finally waved us in.

We followed the teenager and wandered into the city.

The city is full of traffic, the flow of people in the past is bustling, the streets are orderly, the shops are lined up, and the shouts of businessmen are one after another, no different from other cities.

People here, regardless of gender, wear gray robes, white masks and white gloves. They didn't meet and greet each other like ordinary people when they walked on the street. Instead, they walked separately, looking very silent. Even if you are buying things, you rarely see bargains. Instead, you pay and take things and leave.

On the whole street, the only people who kept noisy were the hawkers who wanted to do business.

After they discovered the five of us, they all stopped to look at us in surprise. A few children ran after us and were drunk by the adults.

"All of you are wearing gray robes, white masks and white gloves. How can you tell who is who?" I finally couldn't help but curiously asked.

The boy said, "After a long time, you will naturally recognize who is who."

Can it really be distinguished? I was beating the drums in my heart, but since people say that, I can only believe it, and it seems to me the same anyway. It was obviously boring to continue this topic. I suddenly remembered that I followed someone into the city in a daze, without knowing his name, so I smiled.

"I have received many favors from you, but I haven't consulted the surname."

The young man arched his hands and said, "Now I am named Liang Jinghui, so you can call me Jinghui."

As soon as the boy's voice fell, he heard someone yell at the head, "Jing Hui, I'm waiting for you to deliver the food. It turns out that you are actually hanging out here."

I looked back and found that it was the shepherd who had been sleeping on the hillside before reprimanding Liang Jinghui-the masked weird man. His low and dull voice is unforgettable.

When Liang Jinghui saw the man, he immediately softened and said, "Father, I just brought you food, but when I arrived, you had already left. I couldn't find you, so I had to come back by myself."

The mask stranger obviously didn't believe the boy's words, and said angrily, "Nonsense! I came home and came out to look for you again, you just walked here, you said to give me food, what about the food?"

Liang Jinghui nervously hid the food box behind him, and whispered, "I can't find you, and feel hungry, so I ate it myself."

The masked man snorted coldly, pointed at us and asked, "You can lie more and more now, even if I believe what you said, what's the matter with them?"

"Father, I just met them in the valley. I saw that they were in the middle of nowhere, so I brought them back. By the way, I want to discuss with you, can I let them go first? Stay at our house for one night."

"You just play the piano, how many times have I told you that you can't bring anyone into this city. It's already cursed here, don't you understand?"

The father and son begged and reprimanded one by one, which attracted many passersby.

But I think the purpose of their onlookers is to see us more than to watch the fight.

There were more and more onlookers, and the masked man obviously couldn't hold his face, he stamped his foot and said, "Go, go home first. Get home and then train your kid."

When the masked man finished speaking, he turned and left with a grunt.

Liang Jinghui followed his father closely, turned around and gestured to us to signal us to follow. He leaned in my ear and whispered, "My father is a knife-mouthed tofu, he is a good person, don't worry."

Liang Jinghui's home is a very clean farmyard. The entrance of the yard is a large sheep pen, which contains the sheep we saw in the valley before.

As soon as we entered the courtyard, Liang Jinghui led us into the penthouse and whispered, "You can make do and live here, I will bring you in later, and don’t go out if there’s nothing wrong. My father has a bad temper. I’m worried that he will see you. Not happy."

Before Liang Jinghui finished speaking, he heard the masked weird calling him in the courtyard, "Jinghui, come out, I have something to tell you."

Liang Jinghui responded, motioning for us to rest first, and then walked out of the penthouse.
