Fang Xiaoyuan had just stepped out of the forest passage with one foot, when he suddenly remembered something, and backed away.
"I haven't bought a ticket yet!" She poked her head out and said to the administrator under the stone steps. In her mind, a subway card is needed to take the subway, a bus card is needed to take the bus, and a fare is required to take a taxi. Since she took the forest passage, of course she has to buy a ticket.
The steward of the stone steps tilted his head and looked at her, his face full of confusion, "What is that?"
"It's the transportation fee." Fang Xiaoyuan rolled his eyes and thought of a proper term. She once asked her mother why she needed money to travel by car, and her mother told her that it was used to build and maintain roads and subways, and to pay salaries for drivers and managers, which is the so-called transportation fee. With this money, they can continue to enjoy fast and convenient services for a long time. She guessed that here, the role of the stone step administrator is similar to that of a bus driver.
"I don't know." After hearing what she said, the steward of the stone steps said, "I've never heard of it."
Fang Xiaoyuan blinked and looked at it, "You take the goblins where they want to go, don't you even buy a ticket?"
The administrator of the stone steps shook his head, "No ticket."
"Then where does your salary come from?" Fang Xiaoyuan asked, "Did it fall from the sky?"
The expression of the administrator of the stone steps became even more puzzled. He had never seen a fairy with so many questions, and he said words he could not understand, "I really don't know what you are talking about, whether it is transportation expenses or Salary, that is something that does not exist!"
This time it was Fang Xiaoyuan's turn to be surprised. She thinks that working to make money is justified, just like the reason why she was sent back to her grandma's house by her parents as soon as the summer vacation was over, it was because they needed to work hard to make money to buy her delicious mango mousse and beautiful new sandals. Although she was not very happy in her heart, she could understand it after thinking about it seriously.
"You are still willing to do this job without salary, is it because you like it so much?" With her simple mind, she really couldn't think of other reasons.
The steward of the stone steps shook his head, "No, because this is the condition for me to continue to survive." Fang Xiaoyuan talked too much, as if he couldn't finish it for a while, so he had to climb the stone steps again and sat down beside her. down.
"Whether there are goblins to take the forest passage, I have to place stone steps here. If one day no goblins come and the forest passage is closed, I will lose the meaning of life." Speaking of this, A trace of fear flashed across its face, "At that time, I will have to go to the dump box."
"What's the point?" Fang Xiaoyuan frowned, "If you don't work, you have to die?" She suddenly thought of herself, for a person like her who has not yet grown up and can't do any work for the time being, if Living here is only the fate of being thrown into the dump box? She can't accept it.
"This is the rule." The administrator of the stone steps seemed to accept the matter calmly, and did not intend to resist. "We just have to obey."
"What kind of strange rules, are these all set by that bad director?" When it came to the key point, Fang Xiaoyuan became excited. "How old is it, and why should it decide the fate of all goblins?"
The steward of the stone steps hurriedly covered her mouth, and said nervously, "Shh! If you are heard, you may be thrown into the discard box immediately."
Hearing the words "abandoned box", Fang Xiaoyuan obediently shut up. In fact, she can only say these words here. Just by hearing everyone's descriptions, and even before meeting her face, she already felt that the goblin director in charge of this world was terrifying. It hates humans so much, if it knows that she has said bad things about itself behind its back, it will definitely throw her into the discard box without even thinking about it.
"Then can I see you again in the future?" Before leaving, she asked the steward.
"Yes, as long as you come to the forest passage, I will be there at any time." After the stone step administrator waved her goodbye, he went back to the bottom of the stone steps to meet the next new passenger. Fang Xiaoyuan puffed out her cheeks, got her mood together, turned around and stepped out of the station exit made of thick old tree trunks.
Standing in front of the towering snow-white lighthouse, Fang Xiaoyuan couldn't help opening his mouth. When viewed from the beach, the lighthouse is just a beautiful house standing on the corner of the cliff, it seems to be no more than three stories high. When she actually stood at its feet, she realized that was not the case at all. Fang Xiaoyuan even felt that this lighthouse was taller than the tallest TV tower in the city, and she had underestimated it earlier.
She walked along the curved outer wall to the right, trying to find the door leading to the interior of the lighthouse, but she couldn't find it after turning around for a long time. When she found herself back in front of the forest, Fang Xiaoyuan realized that the lighthouse had no door at all. She raised her head and looked up desperately, except for a narrow window on the wall near the top of the lighthouse.There is no visible way to the interior other than the small window in the room.
Fang Xiaoyuan encountered a difficulty. For her who had difficulty climbing up the eaves, it was extremely difficult to get to the window. If there is a "flying all over the sky", this problem can be solved easily, she couldn't help thinking.
Just at this moment, the bushes behind Fang Xiaoyuan suddenly made noises, which made her turn around immediately in fright, put her back against the outer wall of the lighthouse, and looked towards the trees vigilantly. The sun hadn't come out yet, and the dim light made it impossible for her to see clearly what was behind the big trees.
"Su! Su!!" Suddenly, the leaves of the ancient tree near the outermost side shook violently a few times, and a misty figure emerged from it. Fang Xiaoyuan took a closer look, and it turned out to be Xiaoyan.
"Xiao Yan!" she shouted, and ran towards Xiao Yan. "You are indeed here!"
When Xiao Yan saw Fang Xiaoyuan, she gasped heavily and grabbed her arm, "Hurry upgo away" It took a lot of effort to rush over.
"Where are you going?" Fang Xiaoyuan asked, refusing to move.
"Get out of here," Xiao Yan said with a serious face, not like a joke, "it will be dawn soon, you must return to your own world. Go, if you don't hold on tight, it will be too late." It pulled Fang Xiaoyuan's arm hard , but found that he couldn't move her at all.
"I won't go back." Fang Xiaoyuan said immediately, she planned to run away from home, and there are so many novelties in this goblin world, she hasn't seen enough, so she is not willing to go back like this. "I'm going to stay here with you."
"No!" Xiao Yan said decisively, "You can't stay here for the day. Once we are found, we will all die!"
Speaking of this, Fang Xiaoyuan suddenly felt the surrounding gradually brighten up. She looked towards the sky, and found that the first ray of morning glow had passed through the clouds at some point, sprinkled evenly on the sea surface, and splashed a golden light. She felt that her arm was infused with some kind of power, and she lowered her head to find a small spiral-shaped bracelet on her wrist, which looked exactly like a portable mechanical fan used to relieve the heat in midsummer. In a blink of an eye, both feet left the ground.
Fang Xiaoyuan saw Xiao Yan waving at her, "Don't be afraid! It will take you back!" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
