It was late at night, and everything was silent. The bizarre murder during the day made me toss and turn, and the thought of approaching that strange Yun Tengjiao tomorrow made me even more irritable. I pulled the wet towel over the bedside and wiped my forehead vigorously, the cold feeling calmed me down. I rolled over, and the sleepiness finally crept up, and when I closed my eyes, a gust of wind blew outside the window, and the rolled up cloth curtains floated inward for a while, and bulged outward for a while, like an ancient pendulum, one at a time, one at a time, from left to right, from right to left, endlessly, like a reincarnation performance from life to death......

In my sleep, I was stumbling alone in a deep alley. I don't know what strangled my right foot, so I walked very slowly. The alley is hazy, the light is absent, and the bluestone floor is cold and smooth, and it feels very comfortable. I walked for a while, and the alley was quiet, no people, no noise, and not a single pedestrian. It suddenly occurred to me that this alley was somewhat familiar, and in my memory, it should have been there! However, my thinking ability is like the light, which comes and goes, and I can't think deeply.

I was at a loss, a hand gently rested on my back, and I was dazed, striding forward, twisting, turning back, and a series of movements completed in a very short time. A man comes out of the darkness. In the faint light, a handsome face appeared, with big eyes that were still bright, and a familiar and gentle expression. How could it be him?

"Why are you surprised? I said, I'll find a way to stay with you! There was a certain stubborn determination in the soft tone.

"But can you only appear in my dreams?" As soon as the words came out, I regretted it. Perhaps in the face of people who miss day and night, they will lose the ability to think calmly. Just like now, knowing that he may have lost the right to live in the sun, he still uncovered his scars with one word.

“…… No! It won't be long before I'll be sure to really stay with you! The tone of urgency, as if he had sworn a gambling curse, did not match his usual composure and calmness. I tried to comfort him, but I didn't know how to phrase it.

I was silent.

Until suddenly there was a bright light in front of me, and it seemed that a large fireball had risen, and the alley was as bright as day.

It's another person!

The handsome face, starry eyebrows, and warm and sincere appearance hide an elusive heart, and the cold eyes that flash inadvertently make me always a little afraid. It's actually that strange Yun Tengjiao!

These two people who can't beat them with eight poles have appeared in my dreams one after another! Wait, how would I know this was in my dream? I was even more confused, as if from the beginning, I had decided that it was a dream and not a reality. But on what basis do I assume that?

My thoughts were in a mess, Sun Anning who came out of the darkness and Yun Tengjiao who appeared in the light confronted each other coldly, without words or substantive actions, just standing quietly on both sides of me. White and black, distinct, with a thin figure in the middle, is this a hint to me?

Silence, deathly silence!

The oxygen molecules in the air seemed to be sucked away, and the oppressed feeling was like suffocation, and the "darkness" and "light" that surrounded the two of them were like tangible substances, constantly expanding and contracting, tearing at each other like beasts, and then quickly retreating, gasping for a moment, and fighting again...... This process takes place in silence, like a black and white mime. The two of them held each other, their handsome faces were terribly gloomy, their eyes were burning, and their eyes were as dark as a deep pool, as if there was a blazing flame beating!

My breathing was getting harder and harder, my body was surprisingly heavy, and no matter how much I tried to move my feet, I couldn't move even one toe! No, I'm going to help him! I tried to concentrate all my spirit and tenaciously tried to move.

At this moment, my heart tightened, and I felt a sharp pain that pierced my heart, and at the same time, a huge, blood-red "sun" suddenly rose in the sky outside the alley! It was a spherical sprite with tongues of fire, smashing into the alley with the force of a thunderbolt.

MyGad！ I don't want to be a charred suckling pig or a flattened biscuit, and even though I'm not a beauty, it's too ugly to die and I'm so sorry for the audience! I jumped to Sun Anning's side with great courage, grabbed him without saying a word, and ran in the opposite direction where the fireball was flying.

I run, run, run all the time! My lungs were about to explode, but when I turned around, the fiery red ball was still flying not far away, not far from us. This is probably a common routine of dreams, and I have to laugh at myself.

"Aren't you tired after running for so long?" Someone asked me curiously.

"No...... Tired! We're going to ...... Run or ...... "Oh? The voice...... What's wrong? I stopped, in fact, my legs were as weak as noodles, and I was panting so much that I couldn't run. I struggled to lean over, looked at it, and let out a super high decibel scream: "Why are you?" ”

Guessing that my face must be hideous, he took a step back with a winc: "What's wrong with you?" You...... It's always been me! Who else? "Hell! I cried on to the person who ran away for a long time and it wasn't Sun Anning, or even Yun Tengjiao, it was Qi Zhen! That's outrageous, isn't it?

On second thought, it's a dream! What is the truth in dreaming, maybe subconsciously, I suddenly remembered Qi Zhen, and he appeared. However, where did Sun Anning go? Also, what about Yun Tengjiao? If it's a continuous dream, why are the two of them missing?

"Why are you here?" Qi Zhen saw that my face was cloudy, and asked me tentatively.

"Can't you?" I glanced at him sideways, and my tone was very unhappy.

"I mean, how did you end up in my ...... In a dream? He said cautiously.

"In your dreams?" I couldn't help but look him up and down, as usual, there was no sign of a high fever and coma, "Hmph, this is my dream!" I would like to ask how you came out of it? ”

As soon as he heard this, his face immediately changed, and his expression was extremely confused and painful, as if he had lost his memory after being severely flattened. I couldn't bear it, so I pulled his clothes: "It's a dream anyway, it doesn't matter whose dream he is in!" ”

"You don't understand, you don't understand!" He suddenly covered his face, his tone full of despair, "How can it be in a dream?" Where the hell am I? ”

The more I listened, the more confused I became, and just now he kept asking me why he appeared in his dream? In a blink of an eye, I looked amnesiac and asked myself where I was? Oh my God, this dream of mine is too unreal, how did I turn Qi Zhen into a character with schizophrenic tendencies!

I had no choice but to keep watching. I saw him holding his head, with a bitter and hateful look on his face, and kept muttering to himself, such as "Where am I?" Why am I here? Who am I? Philosophical questions like weeds, weeds that can't be burned, pop up one after another. I quietly wiped my cold sweat, such questions, even if I pulled Socrates out of the grave, may not be able to answer them perfectly!

Let him continue to sensationalize like this? Or do you pounce on him and fan him with a loud slap? I was undecided.

Before I could weigh the results, a strange "hiss" sound rang in my ears. As soon as I turned around, damn it! Patronizing Qi Zhen, he forgot about that fireball! It probably felt slighted and annoyed, and spat out in a flaming tongue and smashed its head and head.

There is no time to feel sorry for ourselves, the blazing flames have already surrounded us. Finished! Images of misery flashed through my mind. Whining! I'm not going to make compressed cookies! I'm not going to be a charred suckling pig! I couldn't help but wail.

Then, as soon as my eyes went dark, my body flew up in the clouds. In the midst of the chaos, I seemed to carry a string of beautiful flames through a narrow black pipe and fell into a pool of water!

I closed my eyes in agony, not daring to open them, and I wondered: Am I a biscuit, or a suckling pig?

In the middle of the night, I carefully peeled off my eyelids. There were no fireballs, no dark alleys, just a row of open windows, fluttering curtains, and a misty sun that had just revealed half of its face!

It's okay, it's my home! I couldn't help but jump for joy, it looks like I just had a nightmare! I looked at the head of the bed, and a large basin of last night's washing water had knocked over most of it, no wonder I dreamed of falling into the pool!

I jumped out of bed, staggered on my right foot, and was grabbed by something! I pulled it with my hand, but I didn't pull it. I looked at it and immediately turned into a stiff stone statue!

Pulling my right leg is a hemp rope, black and white two colors, slender and square, really beautiful and practical. Of course, if that strange murder hadn't happened yesterday morning, and it wasn't the hemp rope that hung the two dead men from the tree, I would have been glad to use it. Now, seeing it is like seeing the two...... Well, like the dead classmates, grass grows in the heart, the scalp is numb, and the back is cold! What to do? I frowned. One end of the hemp rope hung on the shelf at the head of the bed, and the other end was tied in a knot around my right leg...... Oh, don't think about it anymore, or you'll want to eat today's breakfast!

I gritted my teeth and untied the knot. I looked around, ready to find something to wrap it up, and ...... Hehe, "destroy the corpse". I sneered! As my gaze swept over the window, my body stiffened again. The curtains, the heirloom curtains of my house, are black and flowery, mottled, and I don't know what they are burned.

Dreams, was I really dreaming last night? There was no answer. In the morning light, only the blackened curtains whimpered in the wind!

When I walked into the classroom dejectedly, Chang Qing, who greeted me, asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?" Who bullied you? ”

"Which eye did you see me being bullied?" I said angrily. In fact, I was beaten by my mother before I came to school. My mother has carefully used that curtain for decades, and she has more feelings than me, and she actually let me play with fire and burn it, how can she easily spare me? (No way, she thinks I burned it, alas, I'm more wronged than Dou E!) ）

"Don't be upset, isn't it just looking for a chance to get close to that person? I'll go with you! Chang Qing patted me on the back very righteously, but only the schoolbag on my back was photographed.

"Hey, what's in your bag? Cotton? Blanket? Such a drum? Evergreen asked whimsily.

"The Shroud! Do you want it? I smiled coldly, revealing my white teeth.

“……”

Going straight past the startled Evergreen, I walked to my seat with my bulging bag on my back. The reason why the schoolbag was bulging was because I was wronged, and the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I took advantage of my mother's inattention, and tore off the burnt half of the curtain to wrap the hemp rope and stuff it into the schoolbag.

Who let you hurt me! I'll bury you later! I thought to myself. It's bad enough to be bullied by ghosts and monsters, and even the curtains are riding on my head, which is really "bearable, unbearable"!

The preparatory bell rang.

Chang Qing came back to his senses and approached me just about to say something, when a person rushed in like a gust of wind outside the classroom door, he was a little panting, but he was neatly dressed, and his expression on his face was not sluggish, it was Qi Zhen. When I saw him, I immediately remembered that "dream" last night.

"Hey," I asked him in a low voice, "do you know who you are?" ”

Seeing that my face was serious, it didn't look like I was joking at all, Qi Zhen and Chang Qing looked at each other.

"Don't look at me like an idiot! I'm in good spirits! I pursed my lips, "That's the question you asked me in my dream last night!" ”

“……”

Qi Zhen and Chang Qing both looked at me with horror on their faces, as if I had suddenly turned into a three-headed and six-armed monster.

"Why are your eyes bigger than brass bells? Are you Sheriff Black Cat? I asked grimly.

The two shook their heads together, their expressions were very silly, it was estimated that their brains were short-circuited, and they hadn't come back to their senses yet.

I suddenly sighed, and with a look of literary accent that I usually despise, I said very wistfully: "...... Forget it, let's just think it's a dream! ”

I sat down lazily, and then seemed to remember something: "Hey, I'm in a bad mood today, don't mess with me!" That 'fishing plan' will be said another day! ”

"Another day, another day, anyway, it's not in a hurry!" Qi Zhen and Chang Qing nodded in agreement again, their cautious eyes filled with doubt and fear.

I didn't care about them anymore, but I was thinking about how to find a place where there were few people to bury the curtains and hemp rope.

Finally I got a chance! In the third period of the morning, our class was originally a Chinese class, and the Chinese teacher had something to do temporarily, so I asked the chemistry teacher to take over. So, the class bell rang, and the forty-odd talents in our class ran to the experimental building sparsely and loosely. Coincidentally, all six small laboratories in the laboratory building had classes in class today, and the chemistry teacher had to arrange us and the other two classes to have a big class in the big laboratory. The three classes were mixed together, and it was like sand melting into a pile of sand, and water droplets flowed into a small river, and it was impossible to tell who was who!

Golden opportunity! Taking advantage of the teacher's misconsideration, I sneaked back to the classroom, took out the curtains and hemp rope in my school bag, clamped it under my armpit, and then took the small shovel in the class, and went straight to the school woods.

There was silence in the woods, as if even the birds and insects would not stop in this place that still had an eerie atmosphere.

Yes, I am well aware that there is a great danger lurking here! However, no one will notice if you bury something here, and you don't have to worry about someone digging it out. As for the security issue, I've thought about it a long time ago, isn't there an evergreen "induction charm"?

I rolled up the curtains and twine, wrapped them tightly, set them aside, rubbed my hands together, and began to dig the hole. Although the experience is not rich and the progress is slow, the soil of the woods is relatively soft, and after sweating and struggling for a while, a small pit with a crooked outline like a dog gnawing is still dug.

I breathed a sigh of relief and bent down to get the curtains.

"Flutter"! A chuckle wafted through the woods. I hurriedly turned around, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the fallen leaves were flying, but there was no one!

My heart tightened all at once, and cold sweat flowed down my face. It wouldn't be so unlucky, would it? That "murderer" has reappeared?

I didn't dare to move, maintaining a bent posture, one hand sneaked into my pocket and pinched the "induction charm" that Chang Qing gave me, and the other hand tightly grasped the shovel.

As the minutes ticked by, my bones stiffened, my expression frightened, and I sweated like rain. However, the character who laughed did not appear. Hell, are you still going to play a game of cat and mouse? What a pervert! I cursed in my heart.

"What the hell are you doing?" A snarling voice came from above me. I raised my head, and a handsome head protruded from among the lush foliage. Oh, God! O Buddha! The starry eyebrows are bright, as if it is the "fish" in our plan, no, it should be said that it is the "bait" - classmate Yun Tengjiao!

"How are you? You, you, you're fed, what are you laughing at when you climb to the top of a tree? I quickly pulled my hand out of my pocket, crossed my waist like a shrew, and scolded angrily in a piercing high-decibel voice, because I was not angry, I scolded and stomped my feet fiercely, and suddenly, "the fallen leaves and the soil flew together, and the saliva was the same color"!

"I ......"

"You what you! Did you know that people are scary, and they are meant to scare people to death? It's okay you don't go to class, learn those two hanging...... Uh, what are dead stilt classmates hanging on trees for? What treasures are in the tree? Is there a golden house, or is it Yan Ruyu? I continued to curse while rubbing my waist, I was so nervous just now that my waist was numb!

Just as I was poking my fingers and scolding, the head in the tree suddenly disappeared. I was stunned, and a pair of long, strong hands gently stroked my back. The clothes on his back had long been soaked with sweat and were cold. The hands just stroked gently, warm and dry, like a spring breeze, lazy, making people feel trance for no reason.

My face immediately burned, and my heart was even more flustered, so I quickly turned around and cleared my throat vigorously: "Ahem, ahem!" …… Why don't you go to class? ”

"What about you? Why don't you go to class and dig a hole here? He smiled kindly, but his tone was somewhat teasing.

"Uh, I...... I'm here...... Plant trees! My face was half gone, and I was talking nonsense.

"Planting trees? Just use this? He half-crouched down and tapped the curtains in a ball with his fingers.

"Yes. Ah, no! This is...... Fertilizer, I'll wait a minute...... Go find the saplings! "I continued to lie with an unchanging face.

"You're bold." He straightened up, smiled faintly, and said a word.

"Of course, I've always been bold!" I replied triumphantly. After saying that, I felt that something was wrong, and I frowned and looked at him puzzled.

"What? Do you want me to explain? There was a murder here just yesterday, and today you dare to come alone, aren't you bold? He explained mildly.

"Oh, it's this. That's not boldness! …… Luckily, you're just the 'bait', not the 'fish'! The second half of the sentence was something I muttered very quietly in my mouth, but I didn't dare to let him hear it out loud.

"What are you muttering about? Do you want me to help you find the saplings? He asked enthusiastically.

"No need! I'll do it myself! I hurriedly shook my head, "You can go about your own business!" "Let's go, let's go, let's go! Hurry up and let me complete the task of "destroying corpses and destroying traces"! I prayed in my heart.

“…… Good. He looked at me strangely, and the corners of his mouth raised inexplicably, as if he was holding back something. Then, in a dashing manner, he turned around and walked away.

I sighed heavily, threw the curtain into the pit, and picked up a shovel to fill in the earth.

"Hey, this forest is very unclean, you ...... After planting the tree, let's go back to class! Your chemistry teacher likes to take a roll call before class. But he suddenly turned back, looked at the pit, and said in a concerned tone, "Also, this place was a mass grave a long time ago, and it is not suitable for girls!" ”

"Oh, got it. Thank you! "I held the shovel and smiled on the surface, and I wanted to bite him in my heart, who wants you to meddle around and come back and tell me it's not clean? I'm not a fool! Of course, it was actually my lie that was exposed, and I was a little annoyed and angry.

When his figure disappeared completely, I immediately filled in the hole with neat movements. Pat the plaster on my body, I prepared to go back to the laboratory building for chemistry class. Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning in my head, hey, didn't he know that this place was not clean, why did he come? And, what is he sneaking up on and doing in a tree?

Strange people, strange appearances, is it just a coincidence?
