089 Awakening
Yan'er ...... Yan'er ......
In the fog, I vaguely heard someone whispering his name softly. The chaotic consciousness gradually returned to her mind, and Shen Yan'er opened her eyes gently. The darkness slowly dissipates with the gap between the upper and lower eyelids, and the harsh light brings a slight tingling sensation.
The sudden light caught Shen Yan'er a little off guard, and she desperately recalled what happened before she fell asleep. The moment Ah Zhen let out a wild roar and bit herself, she shuddered violently, and straightened her upper body with a brush.
After waking up completely, Shen Yan'er looked around and found herself sitting on the bed. Familiar room, familiar furniture, this is the boudoir where she has lived for more than ten years. Outside the window, birds chirped, and the bright sunlight fell on the peach blossoms of a tree.
The two figures under the peach tree watched him silently.
Shen Yan'er's heart suddenly contracted. I don't know why, the moment she looked at the figure, an inexplicable sadness surged into her heart. She stared at them in amazement, and they stared straight at her. It's not far away, but I just can't see what they look like.
Shen Yan'er was very anxious, hurriedly jumped out of bed, pushed open the door and rushed out. Strangely, when she pushed the door open, the two figures who had been standing under the peach tree in the courtyard suddenly floated to the corridor a little farther away.
Shen Yan'er hurriedly caught up with the corridor again, but the figure drifted farther and farther away. Even though Shen Yan'er had already mentioned the fastest speed to chase, she still couldn't catch up with their disappearing shadows.
Suddenly, many images flashed in the depths of the memory, as fast as shooting stars across the sky. Shen Yan'er covered her swollen head and let out a miserable scream, and finally remembered the names of the two figures.
"Mother, Ah Zhen......" is them. Although she couldn't see it, Shen Yan'er had already felt the breath of their existence.
Shen Yan'er chased them and rushed out of the empty Shen family restaurant. Outside the restaurant, it should be a long street with a lot of water, but what she saw was a still ocean. Niang and Ah Zhen floated lightly on the vast and boundless water, their fluttering sleeves and skirts as thin as cicada wings, light as spider silk, and already translucent.
"Mother...... Ah Zhen ...... "Shen Yan'er lifted the corners of her skirt and stepped into the river with both feet to chase them desperately. The river grew higher and higher, reaching the ankles at first, the knees in a few steps, and then gradually rising to the waist, chest, and finally to the chin.
Shen Yan'er choked on the water, crying and continuing to chase forward. "Don't leave me behind...... Take me away...... Mother, Ah Zhen...... Take me away...... "Her feet could no longer step on the bottom of the river, and Shen Yan'er struggled in the river with a dog-like action.
The sparkling river water suddenly turned inky black, and Shen Yan'er was stunned. At this time, the figures of Niang and Ah Zhen suddenly disappeared, leaving her floating alone in the black water. The water level was still rising, and no matter how much she threw her limbs, her body sank deeper and lower.
The black water poured into Shen Yan'er's throat mercilessly, and she tasted a strong smell of herbs and blood. I wanted to vomit it, but the black water kept running down her throat and seeping into her limbs......
Shen Yan'er, who was extremely weak, struggled for a while and had no strength. She stretched out weakly, letting the black river soak herself. Heaven and earth have disappeared, as if the whole world has become this black river that has become one with itself.
In a trance, Shen Yan'er lost consciousness again......

After a long, long time, Shen Yan'er felt a faint white light seeping through her eyelids. The ethereal consciousness reconsolidated, and she woke up from her slumber. She gently opened her eyes through a gap, and suddenly saw a familiar tunnel.
Shen Yan'er's spirit shook suddenly, and she immediately realized that this was not her warm and comfortable boudoir, but a veritable "mass grave" that had devoured countless lives.
After figuring out where she was, the second thing that surprised Shen Yan'er was that there was actually light here!
The lanterns on the walls burned silently, emitting a warm orange glow, plastering the dark gray stone slabs of the tunnels with a silvery white. Although it was not as bright as the sunny and sunny outside world, these weak lights made Shen Yan'er's throat choke again, and a feeling of wanting to cry welled up from the bottom of her heart.
After two days and two nights of darkness, Shen Yan'er finally saw the light again. She stared blankly at the oval flame in the everlasting lamp, reluctant to close her eyes even if they were pricked by the light. She wanted to keep this light in her eyes forever.
At this moment, a concerned question suddenly came from the back of Shen Yan'er's head: "Are you awake?" ”
Shen Yan'er was stunned suddenly, and then realized that there were others around her. And the most incredible thing for her, and even suspected that she was having auditory hallucinations, was that what she heard was actually Xiao Hei's voice!
She wanted to turn her head to look, but found that her neck couldn't move at all. Not only the neck, but also the whole body did not obey the call, and could not use the slightest strength. She was like a cramped waste, and opening her eyes was the biggest thing she could do right now.
"Great, you're finally awake." At this time, Xiao Hei walked into Shen Yan'er's line of sight from behind, and there was a little excitement in his voice. Xiao Hei is a person who doesn't like to show his feelings, and his happy reaction now is a little different from him.
"Little Black ......" Shen Yan'er struggled to pronounce his name, and her tears fell uncontrollably.
Even if the person who appears in front of her now is not Xiao Hei, if it is any other person, even if it is an enemy, as long as she can see a living person, Shen Yan'er will be moved to tears, because she has been fighting alone in endless darkness and despair for too long......
And it is precisely because this person is Xiao Hei that Shen Yan'er can completely relax. He is not afraid to expose his fears and fears to his eyes naked. "Ah Zhen, Ah Zhen is dead...... Shen Yan'er said the bad news in a cry of grief.
But Xiao Hei was just silent, staring intently and sadly at Shen Yan'er, who was crying extremely miserably. After a while, it seemed that after some mental struggle, he took a step forward, lowered his hand, and gently wiped the tears from Shen Yan'er's face.
His movements were so gentle that he was afraid that if he used a little force, Shen Yan'er would shatter. His eyes were not sympathetic, but tender love and affection. It's a pity that Shen Yan'er, who was immersed in the news of Ah Zhen's death, patronized and cried bitterly, did not notice his change.
At this moment, there were footsteps nearby, breaking the wonderful atmosphere between the two.
