Chapter 32: The Past in a Dream
"Where am I?"
After waking up, the consciousness in my mind gradually cleared up, and my thinking ability was also restored little by little. I shook my dazed head and looked up at the dark space around me, feeling a little flustered by fear.
"Woo...... Who's going to save my child, who's going to save my child......"
And just as I was vigilantly looking around at the pitch-black space, the voice that had been vaguely ringing in my ears since just now became clear, and then the dark space gradually regained its brightness.
"Huh...... Isn't this Mrs. Ann's house...... No, it seems to be a little different. β
In front of me there is a white luxury villa, of course I know this place, it is Mrs. An's house.
But just as I thought about it, I noticed that this place seemed to be a little different from the villa I remembered Mrs. Ann.
The villa that appears in front of me now has a more simple and solemn architectural style, unlike Mrs. An's house, which is more Western-style.
It is surrounded by a flat green grassland, and there is a small white fountain not far away, which is exactly the same as Mrs. An's house.
I can be sure that this is definitely the courtyard of Mrs. An's house, and I also wrote down the structure of this place when I searched and investigated with Sister Lan before.
But now I always feel that something is wrong. Whether it is the subtle scene in front of me that is a little different from the architectural style of Mrs. Ann's house, or the woman who is slumped on the stone path at the door, crying bitterly, as if telling me that I am now in a strange space.
But on the other hand, I feel quite lucky. I touched my neck, and my skin was smooth and tender, without any scratches. That means I shouldn't have been strangled to death by that terrible female ghost, right?
"Woo...... Whining...... My child, my child......"
However, even though his life seemed to have been saved now, a trace of bitterness rose in his heart when he stared at the poor woman who was almost dying of tears.
By now, I can probably guess where I am - precognitive dreams, nine times out of ten they are prophetic dreams.
When I was about to be strangled to death by a female ghost, I entered a prophetic dream.,I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing......
Just as I was a little confused, I saw the door of the closed villa open, and several cold-faced men and an old woman came out of it.
"This ...... What are they wearing, is it a short coat? β
I couldn't help but feel a pang of shock when I saw these guys coming out of the house. Because the clothes these guys wear are not what modern people would wear at all, if you have to say it, it is more like the dress of people during the Republic of China.
Several men in short clothes with black faces, each as strong as a bull, did not say a word, and when they walked up to the heartbroken woman who was lying on the ground crying, they lifted her up from the left and right.
"Let go of me!! Let me go!! I'm going to find my kids!! Let me go!! β
The woman was startled at first, and then found out that the fellows were going to forcibly take her back into the house, and she screamed and struggled like crazy. And then she looked up, and I saw her face.
This woman is quite beautiful, with delicate facial features and fair and smooth skin. However, the scattered hair, the tear stains on her face, and the desperate look that almost collapsed all made her whole person exude a thick atmosphere of pathos.
"Grandma, hurry back to the house, if you don't go back, you're going to be mad."
The old woman who came out with these strong men had long gray-white hair, tied up with a leather band, and on her thin bony face, a pair of cloudy eyes embedded in the deep sockets, looking indifferent and ruthless.
"Aunt Rong! My Liuyun has been taken away, you go and bring someone to find her back! Woohoo......"
"Grandma, I don't know what you're talking about, don't say these strange things again, come back to the house with me."
The woman looked at the old woman's stiff and ruthless face, and was stunned for a long time, and then her face suddenly distorted, and her two hands grabbed her face fiercely, and her long nails directly scratched several blood marks on the old woman's face. The old woman let out a miserable scream, covered her face and fell to the ground in panic.
"I see...... I know!! You're all in the same league as that slut!! A bunch!! The people who captured Liuyun just now were all sent by you!! β
The woman's voice was hoarse from the hysterical screams, but she raised her thin neck high, her eyes full of deep despair, staring at the gray sky, letting tears run down her cheeks, but she would not stop struggling.
"Ouch, hiss...... It hurts me to death...... What are you bastards waiting for?! Why don't you hurry up and take the young grandmother back to the house! β
"Yes!"
The old woman got up from the ground in a panic, spread out her palms and looked at the mottled blood stains on it, and the eyes of the inverted triangle flashed with deep resentment, and then she shouted angrily at these strong men. When the old woman said the words "grandmother", she almost wanted to crush her teeth.
A few strong men who came with the old woman looked at the miserable appearance on her face, and didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and imprisoned the woman's ribs from the left and right sides, lifted her whole person up, and carried her towards the house.
"Let me goββ!! Liuyun! Give me back my Liuyun! You bunches! Give me back the Liuyunββ!! β
In the end, I watched the woman struggle to no avail, and was forcibly taken back to the house by a few strong men. The old woman was the last to go in and slammed the door shut.
ββ¦β¦β
Although I don't know what happened, the despair and anger in the woman's heart just now really conveyed to me.
I remember that in the last prophetic dream about Hong Yan, I also saw the cause and effect story of her life, and I think the current situation should be similar.
The story in the prophetic dream I see now is likely to be inextricably linked to the monsters that live in Mrs. An's house. With this thought, even though I was a little scared in my heart, I resisted my fear and walked towards the door of the villa.
But when I walked towards the villa little by little, an ominous premonition gradually began to appear in my heart.
The door seemed unremarkable, quietly closed, and no sound could be heard from the outside. But it was this overly quiet situation that added to my uneasiness.
This door seems to directly cut off the space inside and outside the door, because the voice of the young grandmother who screams with grief and anger cannot be heard at all after the door closes. I slowly walked to the door and stood still, one hand touched the doorknob, it was very cold, as if it had just been fished out of the ice cellar, and my hand was about to stick to it.
Unlike when it was dark just now, the space in this foreknowledge dream is now very clear - the grass grows and warblers fly outside, the sky is blue, and looking at the blooming peach blossom trees planted on both sides, it is obvious that it is spring.
And on this kind of spring day, the temperature near this door is so low that people can't help but shiver.
And the reason why this is the case, I think I can probably guess it, after the demons and monsters that don't belong to the yang world come to the yang world, they will exude a yin and evil aura, especially the monsters, and the yin and evil qi on their bodies is also the heaviest.
Clutching the doorknob tightly, I took a deep breath and decided to open the door to find out. The opportunity to enter the prophetic dream is rare, and I can't give up here easily.
The next moment, I twisted the doorknob and slammed the door open.
However, contrary to my expectations, it was not an interior, but a dark space, and the darkness that could not be seen everywhere I could not see my fingers could not be seen, and I was so shocked that I couldn't help but retreat quickly, but when I came back to my senses, I found that I was already surrounded by this darkness.
"Good baby, look, it looks like a guest is coming......"
As I panicked and couldn't help but quickly probe around, an ethereal and hoarse voice sounded softly.
Suddenly I looked up at the source of the sound, and in the midst of a dark void, a gray and pale light rose and illuminated the ground, and under that light, I saw a woman in a purple cheongsam slumped on the ground.
The woman's head hung deeply, making it impossible to see her face, her black coiled hair looked a little messy, strands of hair fell to the edges, and her two slender arms, holding a swaddling baby, shook gently, as if to coax the child to sleep.
"You see that faint light, doesn't it look like the light of fireflies? My good boy...... Do you remember the nursery rhymes your mother sang to you? β
Slowly, the woman stopped swaying, and without any support, she slowly stood up from the ground in a very strange twisted wayβthe waist that was deeply bent towards the back was almost ninety degrees, and I could see my scalp tingle for a while.
The woman still hung her head deeply, and the little girl in her arms actually staggered over to me step by step, singing nursery rhymes that I had never heard before.
"Look at some fireflies...... Each carrying a small lantern ......"
The woman hummed softly, her voice ethereal and eerie, constantly resounding in this dark space.
As the woman approached, I instinctively felt a deep fear and kept pulling back, but the distance between me and the woman was impossible to pull away anyway.
"Your grandma's, what the hell is going on?!"
Seeing that this woman with a strange aura was getting closer and closer to herself, my heart was beating fast, and I panicked directly, turned around and ran desperately behind me.
It's not the first time I've had a prophetic dream, but this is the first time I've encountered this situation - from the time I first saw this woman, the strong sense of crisis in my heart has been reluctant to dissipate, and I have a gut feeling that if this woman is caught, something will happen.
I looked back as I ran behind me, but I found that I was running desperately, and this woman was like a lame woman, walking towards me step by step, but the distance kept shortening, as if her naked and pale little feet were dragging the whole space.
"It's like a husband patrolling the night, coming and going in a hurry...... Come and go in a hurry, waiting for the fairy to go to the heavenly palace. β
After singing this line, the woman's ethereal singing suddenly disappeared, and I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked back behind me, only to find that there was no light - only deep darkness.
