Chapter 82: A Dream in Ten Years (5)
I was trapped in deep darkness, flipping and falling......
It's still that dream, in the cold and biting water, I lie on my back and float with the waves in the reeds. The gray-white sky has the wailing of wild geese, which have not gone for a long time, and there are white flags on the desolate shore, and there is no one. I sighed and took one last look, then closed my eyes and let myself sink deep into the river.
Why should you be greedy, in fact, you should have left a long time ago.
The river overflowed my body, overshadowed my eyes and nose, and lonely, cold hands dragged me into the infinite darkness. The past years have been pinching my neck, the warmth of my memory has turned into cold, laughter has turned into crying, gentleness has become conspiracy, and love has become the inky hibiscus flower in the ancient well, sinking to the bottom with me.
That's all this for this life, a long night's sleep, and then everything is empty......
"Mingyi, when will she wake up?"
"She doesn't want to wake up herself, so what can I do?"
A roaring sound from the water in the distance woke me from the silent abyss. Who was speaking, speaking so loudly, obviously inaudible but rumbling with echoes, shaking my headache.
……
"Uh-" I groaned, and woke up faintly. Where is this?
"You're awake!"
"Hmm-" I was about to speak, but I found that my mouth had been tightly tied with sackcloth, and I couldn't open my mouth at all.
"Your lip was bitten by yourself yesterday, and it was full of blood, so I bandaged it for you."
Why is Zhang Mengtan here? I closed my eyes and thought about it for a long time, before I vaguely remembered that I seemed to have seen his face before I fainted yesterday.
I took my hand out of the quilt and wrote in the palm of his hand: Where am I?
"You're at the pavilion. Yesterday the sorcerers waited for you all night at the feast, and when they came out to look for you, they found you lying on the side of the road. What the hell is going on? I've heard people say you're dead before, but this time you suddenly appeared and made it look like this. ”
I shook my head and closed my eyes, right and wrong, old dreams, even if I could speak at the moment, where could I tell clearly.
I fell asleep again, and when I woke up again, the room was already dark. I stood up with all my might, and after only one night's work, the person seemed to be seriously ill, and there was no strength in my body, and my feet were always soft on the ground. At this moment, his throat was already dry and smoking, and he wanted to remove the strip of cloth on his mouth to find saliva to drink, but he could touch it with his hand but found that the strip of cloth was densely wrapped below the nose, and he had no way to start.
I walked to the wall and opened the window, outside the window was the lively street of Yongcheng, under the golden sunset, the vendors were shouting enthusiastically, and a lame yellow dog passed under the window and looked up at me, barked twice and ran away. Nearby, three rangers were teasing and teasing a woman in pink. When my world fell apart, everyone else was alive and well.
I stood stupidly by the window, and suddenly everything in front of me was very glaring. If I could, I would like the sky to be full of dark clouds; If I could, I would like blood to rain down on that cloud; If I could, I would like the world to change color and the green to wither, and only then can I be in harmony with my mood at the moment.
Perhaps, I'm really crazy.
In the noisy crowd outside the pavilion, I don't know who shouted: "Four girls, don't go!" The voice entered my ears and exploded into a bright light in the dark and chaotic world.
Four! Innocent!
I held on to the wall to stabilize my swaying body, then grabbed Zhang Mengtan's robe on the desk and staggered out.
"Where are you going?" When I rushed downstairs, Zhang Mengtan and Zhao Bolu happened to come in from the gate, and when they saw me running out so recklessly, he hurriedly called me.
At this time, I was bent on finding Si'er and Wuxie, and without the slightest pause, I pushed the two of them out of the gate and rushed towards the West Market.
Last night, I didn't go to the post station in the West City to look for them, and it is likely that Wuxian will go to the Gongzi's Mansion to find me as we agreed before.
But he didn't show up last night, wasn't he arrested as an assassin by the people of Gongzi's Mansion?
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and I almost fell on the road with the soles of my feet.
"Where the hell are you going?" Zhang Mengtan rode a black horse and caught up behind me.
I ignored him and just gritted my teeth and ran forward.
"Do you think you can outrun a horse? Where are you going, I'll send you! ”
I stopped in a daze, and he beat his horse around in front of me, leaned over and hugged me in front of me: "You madman, run out barefoot like this, and pierce the skin, I will tie your feet round, and see how you run!" ”
"Uh-" I turned my head just to touch his chin, and I couldn't speak, but I could only elbow him.
"Got it, show the way!"
I pointed my index finger forward, and he grabbed my waist with one hand, and the horse galloped away.
When I arrived at the gate of the General's Palace, I jumped off my horse before he could help me, and galloped to the door, where there were two small circles drawn in stone in the corner.
Here they are!
Zhang Mengtan stood beside me with a confused look on his horse, I turned around and turned on the horse's back with both hands, grabbed his reins and ran.
"You wait for me!" He ran two quick steps, rolled over and sat down behind me.
After arriving at the Xishi Station, I compared and wrote at the same time, and with the help of Zhang Mengtan, I finally clarified the appearance of Si'er and Wuxie, but the people in the post station said that they had never seen these two people.
I walked out of the inn in a dejected state, and the strength I had just come back was drained again.
Zhang Mengtan grabbed me and said softly: "Maybe there are too many people in the post station, and they can't live in it for a while." Later, I'll send someone to keep watch, and if there's any news from them, I'll tell you immediately, okay? ”
I nodded, and wrote the words "Childe's Mansion" on his hand.
"Do you want me to go to the Prince's Mansion to investigate?"
"Uh-" I went on to write a few more words.
"Excuse me, did you catch any Assassins yesterday?"
"Hmm-"
"I don't know what you want to do, but I'll send someone over tonight."
I took a step back and saluted him, and he snorted coldly, put on a stinky face and carried me onto the horse: "I was trying to snatch my horse in the alley just now, but now I know how to be polite." ”
I blushed and covered myself with my robe.
"It's good for you, you don't have to say anything if you bite your mouth to pieces, and you don't need to explain life and death at all." Zhang Mengtan walked his horse slowly to the pavilion, walked for a long time and then asked, "Why didn't you go in when you arrived at the General's Mansion just now?" Does General Wu know you're still alive? The last time he said he was going to invite me for a drink, I don't know if it counts. ”
When I heard this, I turned my head and waved my hand at him desperately, afraid that he would accidentally tell the man that I was still alive.
"He doesn't know yet? Look at the way you looked before, I thought you were in love with him! Zhang Mengtan said with a smile, and I silently bowed my head and ignored him.
By the time we got to the entrance of the inn, it was already dark. In late spring and early summer, the night wind in Yongcheng is the most manic, and the pedestrians on the road are hurrying with their heads bowed and the wind in a hurry.
Zhang Meng talked about going to the stable to tie the horses, and I stood barefoot on the long street, and the wind blew my robe high, so that I couldn't open my eyes, and a long hair behind me danced in the air. I love the wind in Yongcheng at this time, because it is full of power, and I beg in the wind reverently, begging it to blow away the sorrow in my heart.
Before I was blown away by the wind, a hand rested gently on my shoulder. I turned around and first saw Zhang Mengtan standing five steps away, and then I saw the person standing behind me.
The man's face was full of joy, sadness, surprise, pain, and only deep fear in my eyes. As soon as I let go of my hands, the robe in my hand was instantly swept away by the wind.
Wu Feng appeared in front of me without warning, in my most vulnerable moment.
"A ......"
The person in front of me was the one I had carved into my bones, and the voice in my ears was the most beautiful voice in my past years, and I took a step back helplessly, and my whole person trembled so much that I could barely stand.
"Ah Shi, is that you?" He grabbed me by the shoulders and pulled me towards him.
I struggled to lift my head and look into his eyes. In an instant, everything around them disappeared.
There are only two dark, bottomless black holes in my eyes. The black hole trembled, roared, and grew bigger and bigger. A violent whirlwind rushed out of the depths of the black hole with irresistible force. My legs were suddenly cold and woody, my teeth began to rattle, and an indescribable cold invaded my bone marrow.
I grabbed my chest and began to gasp desperately, but I couldn't take in half of each breath.
I'm about to suffocate.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Mengtan pushed Wu Feng away and caught me the moment I fell to the ground.
I tugged at his collar and tried to speak, but all I could do was moan staccatoly.
"Well, wouldn't it be better?" Zhang Mengtan held my head, ripped open my collar, turned his head and shouted urgently into the pavilion, "Mingyi-Mingyi-"
"Ah Shi......" Wu Feng squatted down anxiously, touched my forehead with his hand, and gasped even more as he watched his hand getting closer and closer.
"General Wu!" Zhang Mengtan's hand on my back tightened suddenly, and he took me into his arms, "Wu Tong has a sudden serious illness, I'm afraid it will be bad for the general, please avoid it quickly!" ”
"Witch boy? No, she's Ah Shi! "Wu Feng suddenly went crazy and reached out to grab me.
"General, self-respect!" Zhang Mengtan picked me up and turned around to avoid me.
"You ......"
Before Wu Feng could speak, Ming Yi had already rushed out of the pavilion and shouted, "What are you doing!" Is it to kill her? Put it down! ”
Zhang Mengtan immediately put me down when he heard this, I was already delirious at this time, and I vaguely heard Ming Yi say viciously: "Stun her!" ”
Then I fainted.
