Huang Teng's hand grabbed Zhao Xiaowen's skull, and the tighter and tighter it was buckled, the girl screamed in pain, and waves of sound waves came out, and the surrounding scene began to fluctuate.

Xie Ling took a step closer to them, his figure began to blur, and his voice came slowly: "Lin Cong, think about it slowly, I'm going in." ”

The moment he disappeared, I finally made up my mind, rushed forward quickly, clinging to the back of the bell, and we went in together.

It was pitch black in front of me, and there was a whining wind in my ears, and it felt as if I was sitting on something in the sky, very fast, and I couldn't see anything.

I don't know how long it took, but the sound of the water was like waves crashing on the shore. There was gradually light in front of me, I rubbed my eyes, it was very blurry, I vaguely saw the heaven and the earth, and I saw the figure of Xie Ling, all the details were extremely blurred, as if I had a high degree of myopia.

It took a while to become clear, and I found myself lying on an asphalt road in the mountains, with bare mountains behind me, no vegetation in sight, and a sky without sun or moon, dim and dignified, like an oil painting.

I got up from the ground and saw a yellow ocean of water not far ahead. Saying that the sea is not like the sea, saying that the river is not like the river, the water is all yellow, like the toilets all over the world are blocked together, and there is a feeling of soup mixed together.

Xie Ling squatted on the bank of the yellow water, staring blankly at the distance of the big water, with an indescribable expression.

I walked over and said, "We're here?" ”

Xie Ling said: "You'd better show up, so I can see you, it's too awkward now." Don't tell me you won't, the Psychic Bracelet has this function. ”

I don't tell lies in front of real people, and I don't pretend to be stupid, and use the psychic bracelet to make myself visible. This ability is not yet very proficient, and it has a vague personal form, and many details cannot be highlighted.

Xie Ling smiled and expressed his appreciation.

"This is Zhao Xiaowen's deep dream?" I asked.

Xie Ling nodded: "She was born with a 'realm of being', and her method is in this place." This is the source of Zhao Xiaowen's spiritual world, and I'm afraid she can't even realize it. ”

"What do you mean?" I wondered.

Xie Ling looked at the sky and then at the yellow ocean in front of him, and said, "This place we have arrived, Zhao Xiaowen can no longer explore, we are outside her perception." ”

I understand.

"Why is this the scene here?" I asked.

Xie Ling shook his head, saying that he didn't know, he told me that a person's spiritual world is the most difficult to fathom, and this is still the lowest level of consciousness.

The two of us walked along the asphalt road in the mountains, and walked for a long time, only barren mountains and yellow water, and there was no figure in sight, and the whole world seemed to have returned to the era of floods.

At this moment, an "island" appeared on the water in the distance.

The island is in the yellow water, and the top is bare, and you can see many makeshift shantytowns, and there are figures shaking. On the edge of the "island" are several black rubber boats, crudely wound with ropes around the shore stakes, making the area look like a simple dock.

We stopped, waved our arms, and shouted, "Hey, hey." ”

Someone on the "island" spotted us and waved the same way. A couple of men got into a rubber boat and untied the cable and rowed towards us.

"Do I need to be invisible?" I asked.

Xie Ling thought for a moment: "Don't use it yet." After all, this is not reality, and you can't use normal people's thinking to figure out what people think here, so be it. ”

As we spoke, the dinghy came to the shore and a shirtless man jumped out of it. The man was dressed in a very strange way, with long hair on his head tied together, and a bun at the back of his head that resembled that of an ancient, which was pinned in a mess with a branch.

Not to mention, his roughness and strength, coupled with his unique bun, really looks a bit ancient, with a sense of vicissitudes of time.

He stepped on the water all the way, came to us and looked up and down, clenched his fists and said, "Who are the two of you?" ”

Xie Ling said: "We are fleeing the famine, and we can't see anyone along the way, but we finally saw you." ”

The big man sighed: "This flood came too violently and too quickly, and many people didn't react, so they disappeared and lost their lives." We are survivors of the village, and we all get along very well, so if you want, go to the island together. ”

Xie Ling hugged his fists in return: "There is Brother Lao." ”

The big man pulled us and stepped into the water. As soon as I stepped into the yellow water, half of my pants were wet, but I couldn't make contact with the water, just like Ling Bo was walking on it. Even if I manifested, I was only a mass of consciousness, unable to interact effectively with the matter of this world.

Here is just like Xie Ling said, not the real world, this big man saw me like this, but he was not surprised, and greeted us on the boat with a smile.

The dinghy rowed, and we left the shore and walked in the yellow water.

"When did this flood happen?" Xie Ling asked.

Dahan said: "It's been a month, and it came very suddenly." We are all survivors, and we have been trapped for so long and we haven't seen anyone else coming, and you two are still the first to come. ”

Chatting and chatting, the rubber boat arrived at the pier of the "island". A couple of big men jumped into the water, tied up the boat, and several of us got out of the boat.

When I got closer, I saw what was going on on this island, the flood had submerged here, and after receding, it turned out that this highland was exposed to the water, and the whole area was about the size of a football field, with ups and downs, and the terrain was quite rich.

Dahan should be the head of the place, he shouted, and many idle men and women gathered around, as well as some children.

He briefly explained who we were escaping and then asked us to introduce ourselves. He also gave an account of the situation on the island. At present, there are no more than 100 men and women, including children. The conditions were difficult, a small tribal group was formed, and the happiness index was very high, and everyone had a kind smile on their faces to welcome our arrival.

Dahan found a shanty for us, the area was very narrow, enough to sleep two people, there was no furniture, only a large wooden board set up as a bed, and thick grass on it.

When Dahan left, I couldn't wait to say, "What does this place have to do with Zhao Xiaowen?" ”

Xie Ling was thinking, thought for a while and said: "Xiaowen, this girl looks rude and willful, but in fact, she is good in nature. I think that since this is from the deepest part of her consciousness, then these people should also be part of her character, retaining her most simple nature. ”

"Well, even so," I said, "then how do you take away her abilities?" ”

"In this world, her ability will appear as a concrete thing, as long as I find this thing, I can take it away." Xie Ling said.

I asked curiously, what is it?

Xie Ling said: "I don't know. But don't panic, this ability is the most precious thing in her body, and it must be metaphorically holed in her subconscious, and it will not be obscure, and it will naturally appear when the time comes. ”

There is no day or night, only a little darker at night, and a large bonfire is lit on the island, and everyone gathers. Dahan counted the heads, and then gave each person a bowl, and there was only half a large bowl of water in the bowl. This bowl was also distributed to the bell, but I didn't ask for it, and I couldn't hold it if I did.

Xie Ling looked at the water inside, shook it, and wanted to taste it with his mouth, so I hurriedly shouted, "Be careful." ”

Xie Ling smiled at me, his teeth were very white, and said it was okay. He took a sip, smashed it in his mouth, and sighed, "It's bitter." It's the water in this river. ”

After each person was given a bowl of water, the big man asked a woman, who was supposed to be his daughter-in-law, to propose a basket with food like wowotou. Then ask a few other women to help, and give each villager half a nest head to soak in water and eat.

These villagers can be regarded as hard-working people, but they are frowning when they eat such things, and some children cry when they vomit directly. But I saw that Xie Ling was eating with relish, as if he was tasting a world-class meal.

"Do you think it's delicious?" I asked.

"How can it be delicious." Xie Ling smiled: "Don't you think the atmosphere here is very peaceful, there are no thorns, no bad guys...... Although everyone is suffering, the sense of happiness is very high. This is Zhao Xiaowen's inner world, she is a girl in the end, she has her own ideal country, here it is. A world that is almost closed and full of peace. ”

"Since it's an ideal country, why don't you get some big fish and meat for these villagers to eat." I said.

Xie Ling smiled and shook his head: "What is the ideal?" Everyone's understanding is different, and everyone's picture is different. Perhaps, making fun in suffering is Zhao Xiaowen's ultimate ideal. She's such a girl. ”

"You understand her so well, why didn't you take her?" I feel familiar with him, half-jokingly.

Xie Ling looked at me and didn't speak for a long time.

He sighed, put down the bowl, stared at the secluded river and said, "I don't belong to this world, and with her power, I'm going to leave here." ”

I blinked and tried to ask, "When you say you want to save the common people, you don't mean our world, you are saving your world, right?" ”

Xie Ling waved his hand: "That's it, the stakes are important, there are too many involved, you still don't want to know." ”
