Chapter 17: Snow

The cold lonely village curtain, the sad wind and the four wild smells. The deep stream is unbearable for snow, and the mountains are frozen and the clouds are not flowing. -- Hong Sheng

Sleeping pill? Why take sleeping pills? The head, which was already mushy, couldn't turn anymore.

"Your grandfather is no longer here, I'm not sure of your ability, and now I can only rely on sleeping pills to make dreams." Qin Sanyou said, "Like the previous times, go to Lu Yao's dream and dispel the source of evil qi." ”

If the first few dreams were just an accident that I was just doing, then this time I took the initiative to find the door. However, I still didn't understand Qin Sanyou's words, it seems that there are many unknown secrets behind these words. But the current situation doesn't allow me to think about it anymore. I picked up the cup of water on the table and swallowed the pill.

"Wait a minute!" I was just about to swallow it, when Qin Chuyi suddenly screamed and said to his grandfather, "Xiao Chao passed like this, will it be dangerous?" ”

"Don't worry, it's really not good, I'll call her back, trust her." After Qin Sanyou finished speaking, he nodded to me.

Be sure to believe in yourself. No matter, swallow! I opened my mouth wide, and the pill ran down my throat and into my body. Immediately afterwards, Lu Yao, who had also taken medicine, lay down on the double bed with me. Grandpa Qin placed the statue of King Fudo Ming on my left hand, and my right hand held the feather of the Gu Bird, and after that, I slowly closed my eyes and let sleepiness invade my body.

……

It's cold. Why is it so cold.

A piece of cold fell on my face. I reached out and touched my face, and a drop of cold and wet water wet my fingers, and then another, and then another. When I opened my eyes, I was lying on a white snowy field, my head resting on a shoebox-sized stone that resembled a rice ball.

I quickly got up and patted the snow residue on my body, and turned around three hundred and sixty degrees, observing this new dream. Against the backdrop of the snow, the heavens and the earth are all white, too dazzling. In the distance, there were mountains covered in snow. From my direction, it seemed a little foggy, like a mirage. The clouds in the sky were like the snow on the ground, and they were so thick that it was impossible to tell what time it was. The surroundings are surprisingly quiet, and time seems to stand still at this moment.

I couldn't help but shiver from the constant cold, and I realized that I was wearing only a thin sweater. It turned out that after entering the house just now, I put the coat outside on the chair in the main room, I didn't expect Lu Yao's dream to be so cold, I knew that I would come in in my coat. I clasped my hands around myself, shivered constantly, and turned around to see if there was any shelter from the cold, and the statue and feather I had been holding in my hand were gone.

I walked aimlessly, step by step, foot by foot on the snow. The snow seemed to have just piled up, and it was fluffy and fluffy when stepped on, like stepping on cotton. Despite this, the cold I felt on my body did not abate, and I couldn't help but speed up my pace. The snow-white eyes have a beautiful feeling at first glance, but after a long time, the whole person becomes more and more tired. My eyes, in particular, are like blind, and everything I see is vain.

"Ahh After walking for about ten or twenty minutes, my eyes were dizzy and my steps were too fast, I tripped over something and ate, and the whole person fell heavily in the snow. With my hands on the ground, I slowly stood up and was about to take a step, only to find that my ankle seemed to be twisted. Should I apply a cold or hot compress to my ankle when it is twisted? I remembered what my mother had told me about first aid, and I couldn't tell the difference for a while. I sat limp on the stone that had tripped me, grabbing a handful of snow and putting it on my ankle. The cold touch made my feet numb for a while, and the pain disappeared a lot.

Applying it, I instantly felt that something was wrong, and stood up and looked down. Isn't that rock I just sat on the same rock that I had pillowed on the back of my head when I first arrived? I looked back at my footprints along the way, many of them had been buried by the fine snow that had just fallen, and I couldn't tell the trajectory of my walk.

Why is that? I stared at the stone at my feet, confused. The size of a shoebox, the shape resembles a rice ball, and it is basically the same piece. Even if this stone is not the one you just got from, it must be too similar. But after all, this is a dream, and it won't reason with you like the real world. I consoled myself and believed in myself. Thinking about it like this, it was much easier and I sat down again.

After resting for a while, my eyes suddenly became intrigued by the small pit I had just tripped over when I had just fallen. I squatted down, looked at this palm-sized pit, and suddenly wanted to dig down, and my hands couldn't help but start to dig up. The soft snow is like the ice you eat in the summer, and you can easily dig ten centimeters deep. I was taken aback at how long the snow had been falling here, and I hadn't seen the soil underground.

The snow at the bottom was thick and firm, and I had to dig with some difficulty, and my hands were frozen like two carrots. Just as I was about to give up digging further, I suddenly saw a red thing under the ground, bright and bright, and in contrast to the snow all around, it looked like a crack in the earth, bleeding outward.

Maybe it's because I've been looking at white for too long, and the sudden bright red makes me feel extremely glaring. I was stunned for about two seconds before I realized that it wasn't blood, it was solid, it wasn't flowing. After relieving myself, I rubbed my hands that were red from the cold, and I sighed, ready to continue digging down.

Before he could do anything, the snowflakes flying in front of his forehead suddenly disappeared, and there were no more small snowflakes floating up on his shoulders. Just as I was wondering, something slammed me on the shoulder.

I was so frightened by the sudden situation that I staggered forward several steps, and before I dared to look back, I heard a familiar northern accent from behind.

"Miss Wu, it's me."

Lu Yao, who was tall and strong, wearing the gray down jacket he had met for the first time, was standing behind me with a black umbrella and looking at me in surprise.

As soon as I saw that it was him, my hanging heart finally let go. I limped over to him, stood on tiptoe and stared at his face, looking back and forth. His short-haired, angular face was a little red from the cold, and he didn't look like the languishing I had seen before, but very similar to the state I had seen when I first met him.

He was a little embarrassed by my staring straight at him, looked down at his whole body and said, "What's wrong, is there something wrong with me?" ”

"No," I looked away, "you're so much better, much better than before." ”

Hearing me say this, he seemed a little happy and smiled at me: "It's okay, then let's go, it's cold here." ”

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"My home."

He looked at my thin sweater and wanted to take off his down jacket for me to wear, but I stopped him: "You wear it quickly, you are not in good health." ”

When I said this, he didn't know whether he understood or was stunned, stopped his hand that was pulling the zipper, and instead clasped my shoulders and leaned against him: "Then Miss Wu, you lean closer to me, you are wearing too little." ”

He took my right arm around his neck with one hand, and grabbed my shoulder with the other, and I held the umbrella for him, and the whole person was surrounded by him like a chicken, limping forward. I don't know why, but on the white snow before, there was a wooden hut faintly sitting in the distance. I rubbed my eyes, making sure I wasn't mistaken.

"By the way, Lu Yao, didn't you say before that your dream is pitch black and unreal, why did it suddenly become a vast ice and snow now?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Lu Yao, who was holding me, suddenly stopped.
