Farming in overlapping worlds

Chapter 21

The path stretched in one direction, and the end was blocked by thick fog, making it impossible to see the scene at the other end.

Linze walked down the path, and after walking a certain distance, the thick fog had dissipated, probably because of the sunlight.

Without the cover of the dense fog, the sight is much clearer. There are stacked rocks in front of him, but they block the world behind the rocks.

After walking for about ten minutes, a two-story blue brick and tile house appeared among the rocks.

Before I saw the whole picture, I knew that this house was not an ordinary brick and tile house. Its size and specifications were a circle larger than normal human-lived houses.

The age of the tile-roofed house seems a bit old, some weeds grow in the corners, and some moss and climbing plants are distributed on the brick surface. Linze is not familiar with the plant species climbing on the wall. It looks like a creeper from a distance, and it is a little closer. There are also subtle differences.

The moss has been deposited for a long time, and some dead moss has turned black, and the black seeps into the wall, leaving traces of time on the wall.

The color of the blue brick and tile houses falls into the gray rocks, which is not conspicuous, but has a sense of nature that blends into it.

Linze walked for a while along the route opened by the rocks, and found the entrance after searching around. There were four carved wooden doors that were open at the entrance. The light inside the house was dim, and it was difficult to see what was going on inside. You could only see it when you got closer. Blurred object outlines.

Linze and the whale stood at the door. The size of the whale was too big. Although the door here was larger than that of humans, it couldn't squeeze a whale in.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?" Linze didn't rush in, and it was obviously very impolite to enter the house without the owner's permission.

After more than ten seconds of silence, Linze didn't get any response, so he could only raise his voice and ask again.But still no response.

Linze still decided to go in and have a look, turned his head to the whale and said, "You wait for me here, I will come out after I go in and have a look."

The whale responded with a call, and then obediently stayed at the door,

"Excuse me, I'm going in." Lin Ze said some polite words, then stepped into the door.

The temperature inside the room was cooler than outside, which gave him goosebumps at this moment.

After getting used to the dimness of the room, his eyesight recovered to a certain extent, and he was able to see the furnishings in the room a little bit more clearly.

Facing the door is a long wooden counter, on which there are books, ink, pen holders and other sundries, as well as several wooden boxes.

There is a whole row of display cabinets on the wall behind the counter. The display cabinets are divided into grids of different sizes, and different items are placed in each grid.

The main material of the display cabinet is wood, and it can be seen from the reflection that it uses a layer of glass as the cabinet door.

The outlines of the objects in the grid are vague, and the objects can be vaguely recognized. Some of them are familiar to Linze, such as umbrellas, wooden basins, candles and other daily necessities.

There are also some strange things, such as unidentified objects soaked in containers, strange masks, and some unknown liquids in glass bottles of different colors, and some skulls of unknown creatures.

There are two rows of bookshelves on the left and right walls, and some books are placed on the bookshelves.

Linze also saw several doors on the wall, apparently there were several rooms next to it.

A gust of wind blew in, and the wind chimes hanging by the door jingled.

There was the sound of a chair moving and wood rubbing against the ground.

Lin Ze immediately became vigilant.

"Guqua—" A frog cry sounded unexpectedly, echoing in the silent room, Linze was taken aback.

Hearing the reputation, a large floating eye suddenly opened above the wooden counter,

The contrast between the black pupil and the white of the eye is sharp, and it can be seen to appear abruptly even in dim light.

The visual impact caused by this big eye was more shocking than that croak, Linze exclaimed and ran out of the door in a hurry.

"Googling—"

The creature inside screamed again, and Lin Ze found that the other party had no intention of attacking, and the beating speed of his heart slowed down.

With the example of whales that can grow and shrink, after the initial shock, his fear slowed down.

Moreover, he watched the whale quietly by the side.Since it didn't react too much, can it be guessed that the eyes inside are not malicious to itself?After all, this should be one of the places where whales live. If there is danger, the other party will notice it earlier than themselves.

He pricked up his ears and listened to the croaking in the room. It seemed to be some kind of amphibian creature?

Linze bravely walked to the door again.He maintained his composure and asked politely, "Hi, may I go in?"

"Googling—"

"Gu-huh? Human?" The voice sounded like an 80-year-old man.

Lin Ze was still standing at the door, when he saw a black shadow jump up from the counter, and seemed to run to the wall on one side.

Linze was still happy that the other party could speak human language, the room was instantly lit up, and the light of incandescent lamps filled the whole room.

The modern white light made Linze slightly stunned, the difference between the house and the lamp was a bit inconsistent.The house looks very old, and the incandescent lamps are too modern.

At this time, a huge frog jumped onto the counter. The appearance of the frog is very special. The most attractive thing is that it has only one eye. Linze stared at its eye for a while, guessing that it opened in the dark just now. The eyes should come from the creature in front of it. The frog's dark complexion is hidden in the darkness, and only when it opens its eyes will it create the illusion of one eye hanging in the air.

Its dark green skin has a greasy luster, without the bumps on the toad's skin, but the skin is very smooth.

He was wearing a dark blue shirt, but he couldn't button it because of his swollen figure, and he wore a pair of large vertical-striped shorts on his hind legs.

"Why do humans appear here?" The frog seemed very puzzled, sticking out its long tongue to stick to the pages of the desk calendar on the counter, flipping through several pages flexibly, "Isn't today a market day?"

It raised its head after confirming the date, and looked at Linze with only one eye, trying to get an answer from it.

Seeing that there was still a safe distance between himself and the one-eyed frog, Linze bravely greeted the frog: "Hi, sir."

"How did you come here?" The frog's eyeballs rolled up and down, as if looking at him, only then did it notice the huge shadow cast by the door, and nodded as if suddenly enlightened, "It's the dumb guy outside the door." Didn't the whale bring you in? It's quite a skill."

"It's not dumb, it can make noise." Linze defended his partner.

Hearing Linze's speech, the frog seemed to find it very funny. It stretched out a flipper to cover its huge mouth, and let out a "Jie Jie Jie" laugh. Obviously, its tiny flippers couldn't stop it mouth, so the laughter is really loud too.

Linze felt that if he walked into a fairy tale world, the one-eyed frog in front of him would probably be the villain in the story.

After laughing for a while, the frog stopped and said, "Being able to make noise doesn't mean it's not dumb."

Lin Ze felt that the words sounded a bit babbled, a bit pretentious, so he asked, "What do you mean?"

The frog didn't intend to answer his question, but instead said: "Okay, let's not worry about such small problems. What do you want to buy?"

Linze shook his head: "I have nothing to buy."

The frog pressed its front flippers against the counter and made a "bang" sound, "Don't buy anything? If you don't buy anything, what are you doing in my grocery store?"

Linze wanted to say that he didn't know this was a grocery store, and he was still standing at the door.But he wasn't sure what the other person's temper was. In order not to offend the one-eyed frog, he still said in the most peaceful tone: "I just want to ask for directions."

"Ask for directions? Isn't there only one road here? What is there to ask?" After the frog finished speaking, he stuck out his tongue and accurately stuck a pack of cigarettes out of a pile of sundries.

Linze looked at the cigarette box, and it turned out to be a relatively cheap brand on the market.

It pulled out a cigarette from the cigarette case with its webbed forelimbs and held it to its mouth, skillfully struck a match and lit the cigarette.

Linze is also very familiar with this match, and the canteen in the village also sells it for one yuan a box.

Seeing the frog using such a down-to-earth thing, Linze let go of his worry.
