Xie Shuyao felt that she had slept for a long time, and she had a very strange dream. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the dream, Xie Shuyao didn't know who he was, Xie Shuyao was like air on the unfamiliar streets of Beiping, as if no one could see him. Just when he didn't know where to go, several men in black and faceless with guns wanted to kill themselves, Xie Shuyao didn't know who they were, why did they kill themselves, Xie Shuyao ran desperately, wanting to get rid of the pursuit of these people, Xie Shuyao ran through the big and small alleys of Beiping, but no matter where they hid, they could always find themselves, they were like cats and mice, every time they were caught, they used a knife on their face as a mark. Then he deliberately neglected to let himself go again, but he had no choice but to run desperately. And those who chased and killed him, as if they could never play enough of themselves, Xie Shuyao was terrified. When they were caught again, they warned that the next time they were caught, they would cut out their tongues......
Xie Shuyao was very scared, I don't know how long she ran, this time she ran to a courtyard, this courtyard Xie Shuyao is very familiar, Xie Shuyao saw a girl in the courtyard who looked familiar, Xie Shuyao forgot to run for her life, and looked at this girl motionlessly.
Soon the voices of the faceless men in black who were chasing him came from the rooftop, and they laughed playfully: "Haha-you stupid thing, why did you get caught again?" ”
When Xie Shuyao heard this terrifying laughter, she was so frightened that she hid behind this girl, as if hiding in this girl could protect herself. This girl seemed to feel Xie Shuyao's fear behind her, held Xie Shuyao's hand tightly, comforted Xie Shuyao and said, "Don't be afraid, my sister will protect you!" ”
After speaking, he pulled Xie Shuyao and ran out of the courtyard, and as soon as he got out of the courtyard, he saw five black-clothed people waiting for him to come to the door, only to see that this girl beat them down with three strikes and five divided by two, and took Xie Shuyao to run desperately into the long alley to the west.
They ran all the way to a turbulent river earthen dam, the girl asked Xie Shuyao to dig a soil hole in the embankment with her, Xie Shuyao and this girl dug for a long time, and finally dug a big soil hole, this girl didn't know where to move a large amount of explosives into the soil hole of the embankment, this girl called Xie Shuyao and she hid in the nearby grass, and after waiting for a long time, I saw a large group of people in black appear in the place where the explosives were buried, only to see that the girl detonated the explosives without hesitation, only to see that the embankment was blown out of a gap, The turbulent river was like a beast rushing out of the cage, rushing towards the group of black-clothed people, the black-clothed people were washed clean by the water, and the remaining black-clothed people looked helplessly at Xie Shuyao and the two on the other side through the flood that broke the embankment.
After temporarily escaping the pursuit of the man in black, the girl whistled in exchange for a white horse, and the two rode through the endless birch forest.
When the white horse walked through the birch forest, Xie Shuyao hugged the girl holding the reins in front of her tightly, and couldn't help but ask the girl in front of her, "What's your name?" ”
"My name is Xie Shuyao!" The girl said.
Xie Shuyao felt that the name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
The girl asked, "What's your name?" ”
Xie Shuyao was horrified to find that she didn't remember what her name was, why didn't she know what her name was? Xie Shuyao thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember her name, and finally could only shake her head helplessly at the girl.
The girl didn't seem surprised at all, strangled the white horse, then turned her face to Xie Shuyao and said with a smile: "Then you are also called Xie Shuyao, so you are me, I am you, isn't it fun?" ”
Xie Shuyao didn't think too much about it, but thought it was fun.
When they came to the endless prairie, the two Xie Shuyao got off the white horse, holding hands and walking slowly side by side by the river, and the girl suddenly asked Xie Shuyao, "Shuyao, can you swim?" ”
Xie Shuyao shook his head and said, "I don't know!" ”
"Then get in the water and give it a try." After speaking, the girl pushed Xie Shuyao into the river.
Xie Shuyao threw herself desperately in the river and exclaimed: "Shuyao, save me, I can't swim, I'm going to drown!" ”
Although Xie Shuyao desperately called for help in the water, the girl on the shore just looked at Xie Shuyao in the river with a smile. After Xie Shuyao choked a few mouthfuls of water in the river, Xie Shuyao was surprised to find that he didn't sink, Xie Shuyao, who kept stepping on the water in the river, tried to paddle the water with his hands in the water, Xie Shuyao, who was very excited, found that he could shuttle back and forth like a fish in the big river, that feeling made Xie Shuyao feel unprecedented freedom, as if he was a fish and should have lived in the water.
The girl on the shore pouted at Xie Shuyao in the river and said, "I knew you could swim." ”
Xie Shuyao swam to the shore and said to the girl on the shore: "Shuyao, you can also come down and swim!" It's fun. ”
The girl on the shore took two steps back, pointed to the high mountain not far behind her, and said, "I'm going to climb that mountain, let's compete to see who climbs to the top first!" ”
So the two Xie Shuyao came to the foot of the mountain, and began to climb to the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain, the girl climbed very quickly, and soon disappeared from Xie Shuyao's field of vision.
Xie Shuyao desperately chased the disappeared girl on the stone steps up the mountain, but after climbing for a long time, he didn't see half of the girl's figure, and Xie Shuyao, who had climbed halfway up the mountain, saw someone doing a funeral in a clearing not far away, so he came over curiously and saw many people wearing white filial piety clothes and hemp ropes tied around their waists. Xie Shuyao didn't see it for a long time and didn't see where the coffin was, I don't know who they were wearing filial piety for, Xie Shuyao saw a couplet in front of the mourning shed and wrote: "Wuwei is a famous corpse, Wuwei seeks a house; Do nothing, do nothing. ”
Xie Shuyao didn't quite understand what this elegiac meant, Xie Shuyao was in a hurry to catch up with Xie Shuyao, who was climbing the mountain very quickly, thinking that there was no shortcut to this mountain, so she found a young and beautiful young woman in a white filial piety dress to inquire, and inquired that there was indeed such a shortcut, Xie Shuyao set off towards this shortcut with joy, and the pretty woman said with concern: "Child, go." Be careful, don't get lost again, if you get lost, there won't necessarily be someone in front of you to show you the way. ”
After Xie Shuyao thanked the pretty young woman, she quickly reached the top of the mountain along the shortcut she had heard, and the girl arrived after Xie Shuyao climbed to the top of the mountain for a while.
Xie Shuyao smiled and said to the girl: "I went to the top of the mountain first, you lost!" ”
The girl said, "I lost!" By the way, your mother is calling you, go back! ”
Xie Shuyao asked strangely, "My mother?" I don't remember who my mother was? ”
"Your mother is down the mountain, and you will see your mother when you go down."
Xie Shuyao looked at the girl and asked, "What about you?" Didn't your mother come to you? ”
The girl smiled sweetly at Xie Shuyao and said, "My mother? You've seen my mother halfway up the mountain, and I'm going to my mother soon!" ”
Xie Shuyao still wanted to say something to this young girl, but she heard a familiar voice echoing in the mountains, Xie Shuyao heard that it was calling herself, and knew that the voice was her mother calling herself.
The girl also noticed this voice, and said to Xie Shuyao: "This is your mother calling you, you are about to return to your mother's side, and I will also return to my mother's side." ”
"By the way, this is the Jade Buddha of peace that my mother asked for me, I will give it to you now, and you will take good care of it for me in the future." As she spoke, the girl took off the jade Buddha from her neck that was threaded with a red rope and put it on Xie Shuyao's neck.
The girl took Xie Shuyao's soft hands, came to the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain, and stared at Xie Shuyao reluctantly for a long time, and Xie Shuyao also stared at the girl. The two stared at each other like this for a long time, and suddenly the girl pushed on Xie Shuyao's shoulder, Xie Shuyao instantly fell down from the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain, Xie Shuyao, who fell off the cliff, did not feel any panic, and was very reluctant to look at the girl who was smiling at him on the top of the mountain.
Xie Shuyao, who fell from the mountain on a stone path at the bottom of the mountain, Xie Shuyao covered his shoulders that hurt, and looked up to see a familiar white figure squatting down beside him, this figure made him feel unprecedented warmth, Xie Shuyao felt safe from the bottom of his heart, and the pain on his shoulder seemed to be dispelled by this warm feeling.
Xie Shuyao knew that the lady in white was her mother, and she snuggled tightly in her mother's warm and reassuring arms, enjoying the warmth that her mother brought to her. Xie Shuyao suddenly remembered something, looked up and saw that the girl on the top of the mountain was about to turn around and leave, Xie Shuyao said silently in her heart: "Goodbye, you have to be good." ”
Seeing that the girl disappeared on the top of the mountain, Xie Shuyao was relieved to burrow into her mother's warm arms and enjoy the warmth brought by her mother.
Xie Shuyao's mother looked at the girl who disappeared on the top of the mountain, and asked her daughter Xie Shuyao, "Yaoyao, who is the girl as big as you on the mountain just now?" ”
Xie Shuyao thought about it for a long time, and found that she couldn't remember what the girl's name was? Then he said to his mother, "I don't remember! ”
"If you don't want to talk about it, let's not talk about it, let's go home!" Mother said.
Mother pulled Xie Shuyao to a big river, the river was filled with heavy mist, and no one could see the opposite bank, and no one knew how wide the river was.
Mother beckoned a wooden boat, the boatman rowed to the other side of the river while singing, Xie Shuyao listened to the singing sound in the distance, Xie Shuyao heard a sentence in a trance: "The broken boat is a thousand gold and begging, don't worry about no money and fate, forget the soul of the river and return to ......"
Xie Shuyao thought that the boat ride was too slow, so she said to her mother and jumped into the river, swimming quickly in the water.
"Haha-this young lady does swim faster than the old man's boat, and the young lady can cross the river of the Lechuan River without the old man's boat!" The boatman laughed heartily.
The mother said, "You stupid boy, swim slowly, be careful!" ”
It didn't take long for the boat to break through the heavy fog to the shore, and the mother smiled on the dock by the river and waved to Xie Shuyao, who was reluctant to go ashore, and signaled Xie Shuyao to go ashore quickly, Xie Shuyao didn't know why, and wanted to stay in the river for a while, the mother smiled gently on the shore and said that Xie Shuyao was too naughty, Xie Shuyao simply swam to the shore, prankfully splashed a few handfuls of water on her mother, and then swam back to the center of the river with a smile.
Xie Shuyao saw that her mother took out a bottle of honey out of nowhere and lured her ashore, Xie Shuyao felt that she really longed for that bottle of honey. Xie Shuyao swam to the shore and stretched out her wet hand to take the honey from her mother's hand, but as soon as Xie Shuyao stretched out her hand, her mother grabbed Xie Shuyao's wrist and said with a smile: "Good daughter, I finally caught you." ”
After saying that, he stuffed the honey into his daughter's other hand, but did not let go of the hand that held his daughter, for fear that his daughter would jump back into the river again.
The mother took her daughter Xie Shuyao's hand and came all the way to the door of her house, and the mother waited aside and told her daughter to open the door by herself.
Xie Shuyao looked at this closed door, and for some reason was afraid to open this door, as if there was something terrible hidden behind this door.
Xie Shuyao, who was afraid, couldn't help but take a step back, and said helplessly to her mother: "Mom, I'm afraid!" ”
"Don't be afraid, this is our own home, and we'll go home once we're in." Mother comforted.
After saying that, the mother slowly disappeared.
Xie Shuyao turned around and wanted to say something, but saw that her mother behind her was gone. And the dim world behind him suddenly turned into many terrifying black shadows. Seeing those black shadows that were about to float over, Xie Shuyao was so frightened that she couldn't help but push open the door and hide in. Entering this door, Xie Shuyao felt that the whole world was shrouded in white light, and Xie Shuyao did not see her mother here.
In this white light, Xie Shuyao heard the familiar voice of her mother, Xie Shuyao ran for a long time to find the sound, and finally found a closed white door, and her mother's voice came from outside this door.
Xie Shuyao found that she couldn't open this door no matter what, Xie Shuyao listened to the familiar voice of her mother behind the door, but she couldn't open this damn door, she was trapped here Xie Shuyao felt terrified, and cried to her mother behind the door through the door: "Mom, help me!" ”
"Mom, get me out! I'm scared, Mom-"
Xie Shuyao kept knocking on the door for help, I don't know how long she shouted, the door suddenly opened a gap by itself, and Xie Shuyao hurriedly opened the door......
Xie Shuyao, who slowly opened his eyes, had not yet adapted to the bright light, when he heard a familiar voice crying with joy in his ear: "Yaoyao, Yaoyao is awake!" ”
Xie Shuyao frowned and closed his eyes again, after a short period of adaptation of opening and closing his eyes several times, Xie Shuyao saw a few familiar faces, and his still chaotic brain couldn't tell who these people were, but felt that these people were very familiar. Xie Shuyao felt that she was a little tired, and Xie Shuyao, who was groggy in her head, closed her heavy eyes and fell asleep tiredly.
