Prequel: Scroll of the Wind Chapter 4 Parallel Time and Space

At this time, the girl bit the other man's arm and tasted blood in her mouth. The ferocious and fearless gaze in her eyes only revealed when the wounded prey had no way out. Although the other party's face was shrouded in the shadow of the leaves, he gently stroked her hair and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." ”

After hearing this, she suddenly let go of her mouth, and said slightly distractedly: "I'm sorry, I thought it was ......"

"Youkai, right? Don't worry, no one here is going to hunt you down. The man led her out of the other side of the bush, and said to her in the moonlight, "I want to go home as much as you do, but we will die together for the time being." I saw that the person was wearing a charcoal black suspender suit pants and a snow-white shirt, and suddenly smiled at her, which made people feel like a spring breeze. However, she immediately shook off the other party's hand and asked vigilantly, "Where do you want to take me?"

"Get out of here, of course. ”

"Those monsters can take human form, how do you tell me to believe you?" she said, "and besides, how do I know if you are in a group with them?" and the young man asked calmly, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"It's very simple, you have to answer my three questions truthfully first. ”

"Let's talk about it first. ”

"Who was the first emperor of China?" and who was Cao Xueqin the author of a famous book?" she leaned against a tree with her arms folded around her chest, stared at each other in disbelief and said, "Also, why are you here?"

"The first emperor was Yingzheng, and Cao Xueqin wrote "Dream of Red Mansions". He paused and replied gloomily, "As for the third question, I can't answer you for the time being." Because even I don't know how I ended up here. ”

"Did you also drink the sour plum soup that the woman handed you?"

"Looks like I've had a sip or two, what's wrong?"

"I'm telling you, never trust a beautiful woman. "That's how I got in, and I still can't remember my hometown." ”

"That thing isn't Meng Po soup, so it won't make people forget the past, right?"

"Have you ever seen Meng Po Soup? All in all, you have to remember that the human heart is sinister. Don't drink a drink handed to you by a stranger, especially if you don't charge a fee. ”

"The girl has been taught a lesson. ”

"I'm Jiang Yuan, please take care of me in the future. She said, "What's your name?"

"Under Liu Shengyuan, I am glad to meet. He shook her hand and replied with a smile.

"Do you still have a battery on your phone? I want to make a phone call home. ”

Liu Shengyuan took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and handed it to her, and moved his gaze to the mountains in the distance. There was no service at the top of the lit screen, which made Jiang Yuan's eyes suddenly red. Then she silently opened the memo and stored the vanishing memories inside.

"There's something I'm curious about, are you dressed like this purely for a hobby?"

"It's not like that. Jiang Yuan wiped the tears on her face and replied, "Because my parents divorced when I was a child, and I settled in Daegu, South Korea with my father. This time, I was thinking of going to Jiuzhaigou to visit my elderly grandmother, and then go to reunite with my mother, whom I hadn't seen for many years. But I never thought that I would get lost on the way, and I came to this ghost place inexplicably. ”

"At least you remember so many people. Liu Shengyuan suddenly said in disappointment, "Many times, I stare at the numbers of those relatives on my phone alone, but I can't remember their names and appearances. ”

"Did you know that it's a terrible way to coax girls? ”

"Really? So I'll just say nothing. Liu Shengyuan asked, "Can you continue walking?" Just now I felt that you had a hard time walking. ”

"Maybe I twisted my ankle when I fell before, and now it's hurting terribly. Jiang Yuan said, "You don't have to worry about me, just leave quickly." As long as one of you and I can get out of here, the other will have a chance to live. I have a lot of important numbers in your memo and those things I want to say to them. If I end up in the unfortunate event that I die, please send these messages on my behalf. ”

"It's obvious that she is such a weak girl, why do you pretend to be strong?" Liu Shengyuan suddenly bent down, put his hand on his lap, and turned back to her: "Those who meet, you have to meet yourself, and as for what you want to say, you have to say it yourself." The journey alone is too lonely, and we have to go back to China together. After hearing this, Jiang Yuan suddenly left tears of emotion.

There's no way we're going to get out of here, and that's probably why the monsters didn't chase after us. Liu Shengyuan was carrying a weight in the inaccessible mountains, thinking so in his heart. Wherever he goes, he will eventually lose his way. And for some reason, he was never able to find the Big Dipper from the sky. And everything that was happening at the moment made him wonder if he was living in a dream? Could the woman who was sleeping on his back also be part of the dream?

However, in this world, is there really such a real dream? And why did he not wake up for a long time? Liu Shengyuan felt a little headache because of this, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Many questions are unanswered in the end, just as poignant love almost ends without a hitch.

He carried Jiang Yuan over the high mountain in front of him, and looked up at the clear starry sky with his eyes calmly. The night sky was filled with a cyan aurora, and the low moon was gradually turning red. And Liu Shengyuan's eyes were shining, and he was amazed by this bizarre world.

"Where are we here?" Jiang Yuan, who woke up, hugged his neck tightly and asked.

"We're ......" Liu Shengyuan suddenly turned his head, listened carefully to the footsteps falling on the dead leaves, and hurriedly put his index finger to his lips, signaling her not to speak. Then, he carried her on his back and quietly hid in the damp bushes beside him, peering through the leaves to see what was going on.

At this moment, I saw a strange figure walking forward, holding a big red lantern in his hand and shaking brightly. Then he stopped halfway down the road and looked around thoughtfully. From time to time, there was a hissing sound in his mouth, as if he was sniffing an unusual breath. After seeing this, Liu Shengyuan and Jiang Yuan couldn't help but hold their breath, but their hearts were beating violently.

Then the man turned his head suddenly, licked the oleander leaves with his snake tongue, and smiled strangely at them hiding in the shadows. The scales covering his face were faintly glowing, and the eyes that approached the lantern suddenly appeared to be burning.

I folded my hands behind my head and waited for the sunrise on my soft bed, feeling warm all over my body. And Shen Manyun rested her head in the crook of my arm, still unhappy about the nightmare she had before.

"Yucheng, you said that the heavens let us dream of such a terrible thing at the same time, is it foreshadowing something to us?"

"Stop thinking about it, it's just a dream. ”

"However, Liu Shengyuan and Jiang Yuan in the dream are indeed exactly the same as you and me. How do you explain this?" said Shen Manyun, "and I don't understand a lot of what they say. What kind of place is China, like, and how can that little thing without a telephone line be able to communicate with people?"

"Perhaps beyond this distant firmament, there is a new world that no one knows. I pointed to the sky outside the window and explained to her, "People in two worlds are the same age and look, but they are living very different lives. In the dark, we feel with ourselves in another world, and we can see what they are going through through our dreams. ”

"In this way, we are not doing well in that world. Shen Manjun said, "Yucheng, will we run away in the future?" I kissed her hair and replied, "I'm not going anywhere." If the Red Tide Movement does not end, will there be a pure land within the borders of the country?"

"Yucheng, if you can go back in time, what do you want to do most?"

"Why do you suddenly ask that?"

"Because if you can start all over again, then all the regrets can be remedied. "Before the Red Tide movement broke out, I would persuade my father to immigrate to Baekje with his family." I heard that the four seasons are like spring, and the flowers bloom undefeated. Moreover, Baekje is the only permanently neutral country overseas, and it has not experienced war for hundreds of years. What about you?"

"I still want to go back to the café I used to have, and I look forward to seeing you again. ”

"If you think about it, the fate of the world is actually very wonderful. If Lingling hadn't invited me to have a snack, we might never have met in our lives. Shen Manjun suddenly turned over, drew a circle on my chest with her index finger, and asked, "That day, if I hadn't appeared in the restaurant across the street, would you have fallen in love with another girl?"

"It depends on whether she's as pretty as you are. ”

After hearing this, Shen Manyun pouted and said angrily: "You men are all just as bad." ”

"It's because I love you so much that I'm honest with you. I explained, "Even if you say something against your will, you are deceiving yourself to say it a thousand times." However, Shen Manyun was still sulking secretly, turning her back to me and fiddling with the buds of the large-flowered orchid next to the lamp.

At this moment, the morning sun rose over the jagged buildings, and Shen Manyun's dignified silhouette sparkled in my eyes. So I couldn't help but pull her shoulders over, and was about to kiss her on the cheek, when I suddenly noticed that she was shaking and crying.

"What's wrong, silly girl?" I said.

"But one day I'll grow old, will you love me then?" she said in a choked voice, "If you only care about your looks, sooner or later you will change your mind about me." ”

"Even though the roses of yesteryear have withered, there are still people who remember their fragrance. In any case, you are the white moonlight on my heart. I replied, "Manyun, I have never wanted to leave you since the day I met you in the café. There are many beautiful skins in this world, but you are the only one who can make my heart so excited. I've never had this kind of emotion like a moth to a fire before, and I don't think it will ever be again. ”

After hearing this, she tilted her head slightly and said to me: "If you fail me one day, my mother will shoot you to death, and then run to have children with others." I lay on my side on her back, hugged her smooth belly tightly and replied, "Okay, I'll load you when the time comes, and I won't move even a step." ”

At that time, I thought to myself, when Shen Manyun and I are both seventy or eighty, I will come here to visit again. It should be a mid-spring many years later, when the swallows returned to the north, and the pear blossoms bloomed overnight. Hand in hand with Shen Manyun, I walked slowly along the beautiful lakeside, gazing at the flocks of migratory birds through the dusk that was about to fall into the night.

But after sunset, dawn may never return. This sad premonition grew stronger in my heart as time passed. The world is destroying at a desperate rate, and I am powerless to change reality and stay out of it.

In fact, none of us can escape, and sooner or later, Saron's minions will kill all the rebels. Wind chimes are hanging on the door of the room, and they will ring if someone breaks in. I hope that when death creeps in, the enemy's bullets will be able to penetrate Shen Manyun's bodies and me at the same time, so that the blood of both of us will flow together.
