Chapter 142: Old Dreams Revisited

When Wang Baoshan returned to Qingshui Village again, it was already dark.

After Tian Wei also received a notice from other people in the water village, he rushed over and specially set up a table of dishes for Wang Baoshan and Lu Yun.

He also brought more than ten jars of good wine, saying that he wanted to get drunk with them, and he would not return home if he was not drunk.

Before starting to eat and drink, Xie Zhilong was also invited by Tian Wei, along with that Liu Hao.

Wang Baoshan looked at Xie Zhilong's demeanor was no different, and when he was normal, he had the same expression and demeanor, and he didn't say much.

In the face of Tian Wei's hospitality, he also accepted them one by one, otherwise he would lose the courtesy of being a guest.

Now that all the drinkers have arrived, Tian Wei took the lead in toasting Wang Baoshan and congratulated them on finding what they wanted, which was a worthwhile trip.

The rest of the people also followed, which can be regarded as some perfunctory feelings.

In this regard, Wang Baoshan also dealt with them one by one, and did not care whether others were sincere or not, anyway, those who came did not refuse, and drank the toast.

It is inevitable that they will be in high spirits, chatting about some gossip and homely things, comparing themselves with each other, their own knowledge, and many trivial things.

So, everyone drank and hiccuped for a while, although they were all inconsequential, but they were also one of the atmospheres that should be on the wine table.

Most of the topics are still Tian Wei talking about, and I don't know what happened to him recently, after drinking a few glasses of rice wine, there are more conversations.

He also took advantage of the strength of the wine and intermittently told everyone about some old things.

said that when he was very young, his mother died, and he followed his father and lived a life without a fixed home.

Tian Wei's father was originally a swordsman walking on the streets, who was responsible for dealing with some bad things for the rich lords.

The life is not very glamorous and dangerous, but the money comes quickly, and it is enough for the daily living expenses of the two of them.

Tian Wei remembered that when he was ten years old, his father was valued by the city lord Lin for helping the then city lord Lin Li deal with a disobedient official.

Since then, his father has settled down in Pingshui Castle and has also served as the chief guard of the northern part of the city.

In this way, a swordsman who mixed in the streets turned into an official in Pingshui City. In addition to the change in status, his father's temperament has also changed dramatically.

In the following three years, Tian Wei's father fell in love with a beautiful girl, snatched her back, and forcibly ended the marriage.

But what he didn't know was that this sixteen-year-old Huanghua girl was actually hit by the city lord Lin Li at the same time.

On the day of worship, the city lord sent his subordinates to ask for someone.

On this happy day, Tian Wei's father could obey his fate, and he beat the person back on the spot.

The result can be imagined, as the lord of a city, Lin Li, of course, will not give up, and immediately gathered the guards of the whole city and entered Tian Wei's house in a mighty way.

After that killing, all the cadres of the Tian family died, and they were killed without leaving a chicken or dog, leaving only Tian Wei, who escaped with his life.

It turned out that on that day, he was assigned by his father to go to Qingshui Village, twenty miles north of the city, to invite his second uncle Tian Dang to come and drink the wedding wine.

But when he led his second uncle and others back to his home in Qingshuizhai together, he saw a room full of corpses, and he was young and frivolous, and he almost wanted to end Lin Li's life.

It was his second uncle Tian Dang, who persuaded him to come down, cleaned up the bodies of his relatives and friends together, returned to Qingshui Village, and buried him in the cemetery in the back mountain.

The hatred of killing his father is not shared, but he also plays to see if his own ability can work!

How can Tian Wei, who is weak, be compared to the lord of a city!

As an elder, Tian Dang, although he sits in the first position in Qingshui Village, leads a group of gangsters and heroes to dominate the party.

But he also knows the strong relationship, and it is easy not to compete with Lin Li, who has a deep background, unless he has to do so.

Therefore, he has been advising Tian Wei not to be impulsive, everything needs to be considered in the long run.

Don't impulsively take revenge because of momentary hatred, otherwise don't end up, not to mention that revenge is not done, and even your own life is involved, then the gain outweighs the loss.

Although this is the case, Tian Wei was not reconciled, and secretly lurked in Pingshui City, and became a shopkeeper in the Ping'an Restaurant on East Street in the city......

After a few years, when it comes to it today, Tian Wei is still sad and angry.

Wang Baoshan listened to his past, and he also felt some empathy in his heart, and he raised his glass many times to respect him as a man.

Tian Wei's amount of alcohol was not very good, and now that he himself mentioned those sad pasts, he inevitably drank a lot more.

Within a moment, he was a drunken mess.

The main family was drunk, and the rest of the people were not much interested in drinking any more.

Liu Hao also helped Tian Wei and took him back to rest, while Xie Zhilong made an excuse and left.

Leaving Wang Baoshan and Lu Yun behind, and then eating and drinking, it is considered a lot cleaner.

Since the wine party is placed in the thatched hut where the two of them live temporarily, they can drink happily, and after they are done, they can rest in peace.

After being full of wine and food, Wang Baoshan felt that the wine in this Qingshui Village was really good, and poured all the unfinished jars of wine into his gourd.

Not to mention, there seems to be a lot of storage space in the small gourd, and after pouring the wine in those jars, only a very small part of the space is actually filled, and there is still most of the space in it.

This made Lu Yun on the side stunned, and asked him curiously: "General, isn't this gourd also a treasure, why is there so much wine, after pouring it in, it only occupies so much space?"

"Huh...... yes!"

Wang Baoshan looked at him curiously, and he also smiled, but he didn't say much.

He didn't want Lu Yun to know about the old man Yin Feng, and he was also worried about the consequences if he knew, so he casually made up an excuse and sent Lu Yun away.

There was nothing to do, and when they had finished washing, they went to sleep.

When he slept into a daze, Wang Baoshan had that long-lost strange dream.

And this time the dream seems to be different from the past, not just a monotonous call, but something that seems to be real.

In the dream, it was pitch black, so dark that it made people feel frightened.

Wang Baoshan was in it, he couldn't see anything, and there was nothing but darkness around him.

Even he himself seemed to melt into the darkness and become a part of it.

In this darkness, it was as if he had lost his ability to perceive, and he couldn't feel anything.

Even the time that passed had turned into an empty nothingness, so that he couldn't feel it at all.

This feeling suffocated him, and a deep sense of fear instantly surrounded his mind.

"Ah......h

He wanted to struggle, he wanted to scream, but he couldn't make any sound.

"Where is this?"

He was still screaming silently, but everything seemed to be in vain, no matter how hard he struggled, the darkness around him was still dark, and nothing changed.

"What's going on?"

He tried to no avail, and in the depths of his heart, he asked about the darkness.

But the darkness, still the darkness, did not cause a miracle because of his cry.

In ignorance, Wang Baoshan gradually gave up the struggle and began to ignore the darkness around him.

At this moment, he needs to be calm, he needs to accept the fading of darkness, so as to drive away the fear in his heart.

But it was still useless, it was a terrible dream, and it made him feel a burst of despair several times.

There was nothing more frightening to him than this, as everything fell silent in the darkness.

It was as if the darkness around him was the whole world, causing him to lose any ability to sense, and his consciousness, along with his body and mind, gradually melted into the darkness......

I don't know how long it took, in the darkness, out of nowhere, the call came.

"Nine Winds ......"

It seems to be a call, but also a sigh, just two words that are not necessary, and it seems to contain endless meaning.

In the darkness, there was only one call, and then there was no more.

Everything went back into darkness, and nothing changed.

"What is the Nine Winds?"

When Wang Baoshan's consciousness and perception returned to his body, he opened his eyes, and the darkness disappeared.

When he came to his senses, he found that it was the early morning of the next day.

Everything was business as usual in the house, and there was still a mess of leftovers on the table, cups, dishes, and dishes.

Last night, the two of them, after eating and drinking, did not clean up, and now in the whole thatched hut, there is still a residual smell of wine and food, which seems strong and smoky.

Lu Yun, who lives in the same room, is still asleep, and he still looks like he is sleeping soundly.

"Why is this dream even weirder than before?"

Wang Baoshan looked at the scene in the house, and smiled bitterly, but the strange dream made him confused, and asked himself in his heart.

What made him even more unexpected, after a dream, and after a night's work, he deeply felt that the passage of time was so fast!

Seeing that it was still early, if he slept again, he didn't have the slightest sense of sleep, so he gave up, got up and walked out of the hut.

The sky outside the house was just dark, the cool mountain breeze was blowing slowly, and in the whole Qingshui Village, there was a dead silence, and it seemed that all the people were still asleep and did not wake up.

Wang Baoshan found a well in the depths of the thatched hut community, and he brought some water up from the well and washed it well.

But just as he finished washing, a strange feeling came to his heart.

He clearly sensed that someone was coming at a rapid pace.

Not towards him, but towards this Qingshui Village.

So, Wang Baoshan used his keen perception ability to investigate carefully, and unexpectedly found that he could perceive everything within a radius of a few miles.

This discovery shocked him, and he couldn't help but have a strong interest in the person who suddenly arrived.

Who would come to this wild land early in the morning?
