Chapter 31: "That Strange Dream"
What was taken out of the brown paper bag was nothing else, it was a treasure map, and after a closer look, they found that it was the treasure that the two were pursuing, and suddenly the two cheered in surprise, and were about to turn around and thank the angler, but found that the person behind them had long since disappeared.
With the treasure map, the two continued on the road, according to the guidance on the map, the treasure was buried in a castle in the east of the city, Jiang Nianfeng and Gao Xuexi accelerated their pace and rushed to the castle.
The night gradually invaded the world, and Gao Xuexi looked up, but the sky was split into two halves, half was the night sky covered with dark clouds, and the other half was the day with lightning and thunder. Frightened, Gao Xuexi hugged Jiang Nianfeng's arm tightly, Jiang Nianfeng turned his head to look at Gao Xuexi, touched her head and said, "Fool, it's okay, there is a vision in the sky, and it shows that we will have a harvest today." ”
Passing through a jungle, the forest was dark, the wind was gusting, the two of them walked forward in fear, suddenly, Jiang Nianfeng tripped over something, hurriedly opened the fire, and when he saw it, it turned out to be an egg. Gao Xuexi bent down and picked up the egg, held it in the palm of his hand, something strange happened, the egg body suddenly glowed and cracked, and Gao Xuexi was so frightened that he quickly let go.
The eggshell shattered in mid-air, and an owl flew out of it, the owl flapped its wings twice, and landed on Jiang Nianfeng's shoulder, Jiang Nianfeng brushed the owl's feathers, and the owl was also very docile and snuggled in his hand. Gao Xuexi saw that the owl was just standing on Jiang Nianfeng's shoulder obediently, and he was not afraid, so the two of them continued to walk forward with the owl.
After passing through the jungle, he suddenly heard the murmuring of water, and when he got closer, it was a small stream, Jiang Nianfeng took out the kettle from his bag to catch the water, and Gao Xuexi turned on the fire to observe the nearby situation. "Ah••••••", Jiang Nianfeng hadn't finished receiving the water yet, when he heard Gao Xuexi screaming, he quickly dropped the kettle and ran towards Gao Xuexi.
I saw Gao Xuexi trembling with fright, pointing to a small dirt slope not far ahead, and said in a trembling voice: "Nian Feng, look, over there, there are white, white bones, and skulls. Jiang Nianfeng saw that there were a few white bones that looked to have been stacked for a long time, so he hugged Gao Xuexi in his arms and comforted: "It's okay, it is estimated that it is a treasure hunter like us, according to the instructions of the map, that castle is not far from us, so be more careful." ”
Gao Xuexi nodded uncertainly, and the two of them took their burdens and continued to hurry. After walking for half an hour, a huge castle appeared in front of me, and at this time, lightning suddenly broke out in the dark clouds, making the whole castle look even more eerie.
The two of them cautiously touched the location of the gate, the lock of the gate was long gone, the door was already rusty, and some dead branches of plants were entwined in the high places, "squeak", Jiang Nianfeng gently pushed the door open, turned around and motioned for Gao Xuexi to follow him. The castle is huge, and there is a large fountain at the entrance, but it has long been stationed in the earth, and there are even vine plants growing up.
The two of them made their way through the side hallway towards the hall. The door to the hall was hidden with remnants of cobwebs, and with a slight push, the dust on the door shook off. Gao Xuexi held Jiang Nianfeng's hand tightly, for fear of being swallowed by the darkness in front of him. Enter the hall on the first floor, which is supported by eight columns, and on each wall hangs a wax painting that seems to be a portrait of the owners of this castle through the ages.
The two of them crept around, afraid to make a sound, after all, it was better to be careful in this unfamiliar environment. The two of them began to search the room carefully one by one, but they searched back and forth, but found nothing but a few books. "It doesn't seem to be on the first floor, let's go to the second floor and have a look." Jiang Nianfeng said to Gao Xuexi after finding that there was no harvest on the first floor, and Gao Xuexi nodded.
Walking up the semi-circular staircase to the second floor, the second floor and the first floor are roughly similar in structure, except that there is a larger room in the middle, and after searching the rest of the rooms one by one, it still hasn't been found. The two of them stopped in front of the largest house, the door of which was locked. However, Jiang Nianfeng couldn't help it, took out a wire from his bag, poked it at the keyhole a few times and opened it.
Pushing the door in, it was dark inside, Jiang Nianfeng was holding the fire fold left and right, and pulling Gao Xuexi with his right hand. I vaguely saw that there were many statues standing on the bottom of the room, and when I walked around, the shape of the statues was also very strange, the upper body was an owl, and the lower body was a human appearance. Jiang Nianfeng was puzzled, he didn't understand what these statues were, could these be treasures, but there were too many of them.
In order to take a closer look, Jiang Nianfeng walked to the statue. At this time, there was thunder and lightning outside the window in an instant, and Gao Xuexi was so frightened that he leaned closely behind Jiang Nianfeng. Jiang Nianfeng reached out and touched the sculpture, but felt that it didn't feel like a stone, as if it was the same as the real thing, which made Jiang Nianfeng even more confused. Suddenly, the statues in front of him had red eyes, and they came to life, and walked towards Jiang Nianfeng step by step, and then, the other statues in the room also came to life one after another, Jiang Nianfeng hurriedly took Gao Xuexi out of the door, only to find that there were similar statues in the hall walking towards them.
The two hurriedly dodged, but as they ran, they found that they had run to a dead end, and when they turned around, they saw that the statue had blocked the way they came. The two of them, who had nowhere to hide, curled up in the corner, Gao Xuexi cried in fright and hid behind Jiang Nianfeng. Jiang Nianfeng didn't know what to do, it was difficult to be buried here.
At this time, the owl on his shoulder glowed again, Jiang Nianfeng took it off and held it in his hand, and a magical scene happened, those statues didn't leave, as if they had lost their target. Jiang Nianfeng seemed to understand that when he held the owl in his hand, he would be invisible, and those statues would not be able to see him.
"Hey, Xixi, it's okay, they don't seem to see us." Jiang Nianfeng whispered to Gao Xuexi behind him, and after Gao Xuexi heard it, he slowly stretched his head out. But as soon as she showed up, the statue came over again, so frightened that she quickly hid behind Jiang Nianfeng, strange to say, as soon as she hid it, the statue didn't move again.
"Oh, I see, I hold the owl and they can't see me or you behind me, but the owl can only give one person such abilities. So, I'm going to have to find a way to hide you. Jiang Nianfeng understood this, and then told Gao Xuexi to look for other shelters. After scanning around, he found that there was a wooden item like a wardrobe behind him, just enough to fit Gao Xuexi in.
Jiang Nianfeng slowly moved his body, trying not to let Gao Xuexi leave his cover, turned the cabinet behind him to the front, Gao Xuexi opened the cabinet door and carefully got in.
Jiang Nianfeng closed the cabinet door, held the owl in his left hand, and carried the cabinet in his right hand and walked out. As soon as I reached the first floor, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door. Jiang Nianfeng hurriedly asked Gao Xuexi to come out of the cabinet, and the two found a corner to hide.
The door was pushed open, and a few people came in, only to hear one of them say: "This ghost weather, it should be this, this treasure is said to be very godly, let's go, hurry up and look for it." Another colleague said, "Be quiet, if others hear it, it will be bad." "If you find out, kill him, how can there be so many things." The first said it again.
It seems that the treasure hunters are coming one after another, and they have to get out quickly, as for the treasure next time, it is too dangerous now, and these people are unscrupulous for the treasure. Taking advantage of the fact that the group entered the house to search for treasures, Jiang Nianfeng and Gao Xuexi hurriedly escaped from the castle.
At this point, even if Gao Xuexi can remember it, in fact, there seems to be a back, but I really can't remember it. Gao Xuexi didn't know what this dream was hinting at, but it felt good to fight side by side with Jiang Nianfeng in the dream. Thinking of this, he smiled stupidly, it must have been too much pressure to study recently, and what happened in the past two days mixed up with such a complicated dream, no longer thinking about it, Gao Xuexi took the textbook to the classroom to read in the morning.
