Pineapple and Xiaoyin were on the left and right, protecting Xiaolan in the middle.
Although it was a night with the lights out, Xiaolan looked at the roof of the tent with her eyes open, and could still feel the shadows of the trees dancing under the moonlight.
The breathing on both sides gradually calmed down. She was too tired today. Xiaolan felt that she should fall asleep, but her mind was very clear, as if it was a sign of something.
Her body was so tired, but the air, the light and shadow, and the silence surrounding everything around her gave her a very clear perception.
Xiaolan's eyes gradually closed.
The sound of wind, trees, breathing, heartbeat...
Cries, laughter, voices, shouts...
The distant world gradually opened up, and the sound seemed to come from the other end of time and space, bringing about a blurry picture like a hallucination.
Something is flying in the wind.
It hangs on a branch, with its snow-white ends swaying in the wind, and the end seems to turn into a flower, with complicated petals and it fluttering in the wind everywhere.
One hand grabbed it and stroked both ends.
"flower……"
The color changed, and the eyes were full of blood red, with spots of blood red, blood red sliding down like water droplets, and blood red splattering everywhere.
"What are you doing?!"
"I will..."
"ah!"
Screams rang out, mixed with the red and fishy smell, and rushed towards Xiaolan.
The red color all around suddenly disappeared, leaving only a red object. The red mass was looming, suddenly far away from me, and turned into a distant red dot. Almost in an instant, with the red dot as the center, that red dot appeared. began to spread.
"You are really sick, hahahaha, for..."
"Shut up!"
"It's so crazy..."
"I want……"
"With the bitch..."
"...Go to hell!..."
The red color filled my eyes again, as if a burst of rain had come, and the raindrops fell on the red color, and the color gradually faded away.
Blah blah blah...
Blah blah blah...
It's the sound of rain.
Gray sky, gray ground, gray villain.
Everywhere is gray.
"Sister Miaomiao..."
"You run there!"
"uncle……"
"I really didn't..."
"uncle!"
"help me……"
"No!"
The girl's voice stopped suddenly, and the scene passed through the woods and soil, rolling, and frozen in the rain.
All the sounds suddenly returned, and a girl's face appeared. The raindrops washed away the stains on her face and fell into the girl's wide-open eyes.
The girl's face is infinitely enlarged, and the picture is close to the girl's eyes, her pupils, and her eyes.
In the girl's eyes.
It's a flame.
The flames spread their teeth and claws, and the tongues of fire seemed to devour the owner of the sight.
The tongues of fire suddenly turned into countless pairs of slender arms, struggling to grab upwards.
"Help……"
"help me……"
"don't want……"
Countless people's voices sounded at the same time, mixed with screams and cries, curses and prayers.
The crying stopped, and the sound of rain, fire, and shouts all disappeared in an instant.
The arm transformed by the tongue of fire gradually dissipated, and a ball of flame burned quietly.
It burned quietly and long like this.
Suddenly, the flames rushed over. Only when they were in front of me did they see clearly that in the flames was the face of a strange girl.
Everything about girls is flame, and this flame also belongs to girls.
The girl made of flames rushed in front of her, passed through her face, and disappeared from her eyes, like a warm wind blowing across her face.
The girl disappeared. Before disappearing, she whispered two words in her ear.
"Don't be afraid..."
The flames disappeared, and darkness returned, unbearable darkness.
Xiaolan took a deep breath of air.
With his chest rising and falling violently, Xiaolan looked at the sleeping bag beneath him, the tent above his head, and the two sleeping faces on his left and right.
It's a dream...
What a depressing dream...what a scary dream...
Xiaolan looked at the time, it was still late at night, it seemed that she had not slept for long.
But Xiaolan was extremely awake now, and the fatigue and chaos before going to bed were gone, replaced by strong excitement and exploration impulse.
It's so stuffy and suffocating here.
Xiaolan looked at the four corners of the tent.
Even a large tent looks...
Xiaolan quietly got out of the sleeping bag, made sure that Xiaoyin and Pineapple had not woken up, opened the zipper of the tent, and walked out alone.
——————————————————————
The air is so fresh.
In the late night forest, Xiaolan took a deep breath greedily, trying to escape from the dream and looking for the feeling of returning to reality.
The flowers and twigs, the "world" of the bloody people, the conspiracy in Lianshui Village, the deaths of several people, everything that happened today was so illusory, as if it came from another reality.
Xiaolan looked at her hands.
And why do I have abilities that I can’t explain.
What is the relationship between me and the "world"?
I put my hands on my heart. Ever since I entered the village, that feeling of pulling has disappeared. The line connected to my heart brought me here. Does it want me to solve this matter?
Xiaolan walked to a tall flower tree in the moonlight, leaned on the trunk, and sat on the ground.
There are rotten or decaying leaves and petals on the ground, and it feels cool to sit on them.
Xiaolan looked up. There were still unfinished flowers on the branches. The small white petals were quietly bathing in the moonlight on the branches.
On the day she first came to Fengwu, Xiaolan was like this in her dream, looking up at the flower branch.
Flower branches...
Xiaolan's heart contracted suddenly.
"Why did you run out?" The Taoist priest's voice suddenly sounded from behind him, "Did you have a nightmare?"
Looking back, the Taoist priest had walked to him and sat down along the tree trunk like he did.
"I feel...a little bored..." Xiaolan reacted for a while, "Taoist Master, why are you awake? You're still not asleep."
The Taoist priest stared at her and shook his head, "I saw you coming out, so I was worried."
Xiaolan didn't think carefully about what the Taoist priest said, and was confused by the awkward atmosphere and didn't know what to say.
"Xiaolan."
"Huh?" Xiaolan looked at the Taoist priest who was hesitant to speak.
Under the moonlight, the Taoist priest's eyes flickered, and Xiaolan stared at the two bottomless springs.
"I know you are still on guard against us now," the Taoist priest looked directly at Xiaolan, "They may be the same, they don't fully trust you..."
Xiaolan opened her mouth to say something, but was blocked by the Taoist Master's next sentence.
“They, and I, and you all have things that they don’t want to tell other people, right… We all know it, so even though we know there are secrets between each other, we can still trust each other and become a group. "
"I know that I may not be in a position to say these things, Xiaolan. There are some things that I really can't let you know, but I hope you believe that no matter what, I am on your side."
Xiaolan didn't even have time to close her mouth, she was stunned on the spot.
