Chapter 51: Dreams
The flashlight is dead.
The two of them were once again plunged into darkness.
The dark corridor was damp and cramped, and seemed to be longer than the previous one.
Da Lei groped his way forward in the dark, and at the same time couldn't stop pulling his collar and panting, his whole body was soaked, sweating nonstop, and the air was filled with the smell of salty and moldy.
Xiao Hai suddenly froze in place, then shook his head and continued walking. He repeated this action several times, even if Da Lei couldn't see him, he felt that something was wrong behind him, he stopped and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Xiao Hai wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a long time, and Da Lei said again: "You say, it's all come to this point, what are you worried about." Don't worry, brother won't scold you. ”
Hearing Da Lei say this, Xiao Hai said cautiously: "Brother, don't you think we seem to have been here before?" It's dark and I can't see anything clearly, but this feeling is very familiar, dark and damp, and I can't breathe... Moreover, the ground is very soft, like stepping on sand, unlike the road we walked before, which is hard and stone. ”
Da Lei was stunned, his sweat was dripping down his hair, from his cheeks to the Adam's apple rolling up and down, holding the soaked coat he had taken off in his hand, and the sweat fell to the ground dripping down his fingertips.
That's right...
It's so familiar...
It's pitch black... Corridor... Damp... Out of breath... Moldy...
The more you think about it, the more familiar it becomes... But where?
When... Have you been here yourself...?
"Well, forget it, let's ...... first Let's go first... Ahem...... Yes... Yes...... cough cough ......" Da Lei didn't finish the second half of the sentence, he only felt that his throat was dry and painful, it seemed that a hand was in his throat to block his throat, he gasped for breath, but he didn't even have a wheezing sound, he wanted to call Xiaohai, but he couldn't shout a word when he opened his mouth.
Then a cool breath came to his face, and the breath penetrated into Da Lei's internal organs. He stretched out his hand and groped in the darkness, but he couldn't touch anything. The body became more and more stiff, and finally he couldn't move at all, like a dead corpse.
This feeling...
It's familiar, too...
When was it like this, I couldn't move in the dark corridor...
When, exactly...?
"Sao"
"Soa, soo, soo..."
There was a voice in my ears, and it seemed that someone was approaching, and suddenly, it was like a burning black paper in front of me! The burned hole glowed, and the hole grew bigger and bigger, and finally the black paper was burned out, revealing the scene in front of you.
In the foggy bamboo forest, a girl with her eyes gouged out was lying on the ground, her limbs had rotted and her bones were exposed.
Da Lei remembered! Over here! He's been here before!
That day, he and Xiao Hai were in a huge pile of corpses, and a swirl suddenly formed in the sand, and they were also swept into the whirlpool, and they were unconscious at that time, and when they woke up, they were in a dark and damp corridor.
I also smelled a fragrance, and then I was paralyzed and motionless.
And then the scene in front of you...
He remembered that this girl had her eyes gouged out by two women, her bones were broken, and her tongue was cut... He was also sprinkled with maggots......
The girl's mouth was open, and inside it was a dense white maggot, wriggling on her already purulent skin, gnawing at the carrion. They were all over her eye sockets, nostrils, and all over her body......
It's dead.
Da Lei really wanted to go up and help her up, but he couldn't move at all.
There was a sound in the bamboo forest, and two figures walked over, carrying a wooden stake.
It seems to be an acolyte.
I couldn't see their appearances clearly, but they were dressed the same as the Guloulan people I had seen on the murals before.
The two men sighed when they saw the girl lying on the ground, and then placed the stake on the ground.
Only then did Da Lei see clearly that this was not an ordinary wooden stake, but a coffin.
The two men lifted the girl up and placed her in the coffin, then carried it away again, disappearing into the vast bamboo forest.
The fog in front of me grew heavier and heavier, turning into nothingness.
Gradually, a shadow appeared, a very vague, but very familiar shadow.
It's getting clearer and clearer...
It turned out to be Xiaohai!
Xiaohai is in a room that seems to be a woman's boudoir. Inside there was a bed, a screen, and a wooden vanity mirror.
Xiao Hai stood thoughtfully in front of the screen, with a vulture carved on it, and his cold eyes were chilling.
But Da Lei's attention was on the mirror.
This mirror was all too familiar to him.
Gloomy golden silk nanmu mirror.
It's ridiculous to say, Da Lei knows that it has the magic of predicting the future, but this is also what he dreamed of in his dreams.
But where is this, how could Xiaohai be here?
Xiao Hai walked around the room, then sat down in front of the mirror, he looked at himself in the mirror haggard and pompous, and couldn't help but laugh, happy, he stopped.
Da Lei stood behind him, not knowing what was happening, but he saw Xiao Hai turn his head suddenly, as if looking for something, and the colorful bells on the bed made a clear sound.
Xiao Hai looked at the mirror again, and Da Lei was stunned...
In the mirror, although he only has Xiao Hai's appearance, his eyes are looking at himself.
He can see himself!
Xiaohai shouted softly: "Brother...?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he actually cried.
Da Lei nodded, then reached out and scratched his nose, signaling him to cry as a big man.
As soon as he finished this action, Da Lei was taken aback, he was able to move!
Xiao Hai's eyes were red, he kept choking, and finally couldn't cry, it seemed that he had suffered a lot.
He burst into tears and stumbled, "You... Are you dead? Otherwise, I can only see you in the mirror! This... Is this your soul? Woowoo woo ......"
Da Lei was stunned for a moment and couldn't stop shaking his head.
What is this little nonsense talking about! I didn't die if I lived well!
Xiao Hai wiped his tears and suddenly said a lot to himself.
It's probably because he's grown a lot during this time, and he misses himself a lot.
In fact, Da Lei was guilty, if he hadn't insisted on coming here, Xiao Hai would not have suffered so much.
"Alas... One more thing......" Xiao Hai suddenly sighed, his face was embarrassed, and he said a little embarrassed: "Actually, the chocolate thing.... I didn't keep it private. When I first set off from home, I secretly brought it with you, thinking that you would definitely not agree. I'm just going to save it until the last minute to eat. But it was supposed to be five chocolates, but I lost three on the way! I didn't dare to tell you, because I was afraid that you would scold me......"
Xiao Hai's voice became smaller and smaller, he lowered his head and glanced at Da Lei from time to time.
Da Lei shook his head and said, "Silly boy." ”
The huge warm sunlight reflected in from the outside, illuminating the whole room warmly. Time seemed to stop there, Da Lei listened to every word Xiao Hai said, and every word was illuminated by the sun and drilled into Da Lei's head. Suddenly, the dark and gloomy images that had been experienced seemed to be on fire, burning with thunderbolts, merging with the light, and disappearing.
The light grew stronger and stronger, illuminating the eyes white.
Xiao Hai's face slowly melted into the vastness, and finally disappeared.
Da Lei was a little lost.
He remembered that Xiao Hai had said that during the time they were in a coma, Xiao Hai had a long dream, but after waking up, the picture had been intermittent, and he didn't remember it very clearly, and he could only remember a few fragments.
What I just watched must have been what Xiaohai experienced at that time.
"Ketata!"
Suddenly, a hoarse old voice sounded in my ears, as if a mouthful of thick phlegm was stuck in my throat, which made people extremely uncomfortable.
Da Lei turned his head, an old man with a hunched body, he smiled slightly at himself, his eyes were dark and weird.
That person... That man turned out to be the patriarch!
He laughed more and more frustratingly, then lowered his head and turned to leave.
"Don't go!" Da Lei shouted out, and just wanted to chase after him, but his feet seemed to suddenly step on the air, and he woke up with a convulsion.
Da Lei opened his eyes in a daze and saw the bright light, which made his eyes hurt.
The vision was a little blurry, and it took a pause to see clearly.
It turned out to be another secret room.
Similarly, one of the walls connects to the corridor. But the room was empty, there was nothing.
Xiao Hai was beside him and asked softly, "Brother, are you awake and have a nightmare?" ”
Da Lei rubbed his temples and asked, "Why are we here?" Isn't it still in the corridor? When did you come out? ”
Xiao Hai shook his head: "I don't know, I also fainted, and I was here after waking up." ”
"You passed out too?" Da Lei was surprised: "Have you ever dreamed of something?" What do you see? ”
"Hmm." Xiao Hai nodded: "How do you know that I am dreaming?" ”
"Because I am too."
"Well, my dreams are a little weird..."
"Tell me about it."
"I had two dreams, the first one was in the desert, and I saw you standing in front of a dead tree, staring at the vulture perched on it, and then suddenly tearing a red cloth off its cuff and tying it around its neck. In a few moments, the vulture turned into a pile of sand and fell to the ground. The picture turns, although it is still in the desert, but it is very strange that the sand is divided into two parts, half of the sand, and half of the dense skeletons. The sky is also blood-red. You're standing on the sand, right next to the dividing line, and in front of you is a pile of skeletons. Still holding a dead branch in his hand, he seems to be lost and hesitating which way to go. I wanted to shout at you to turn around and not go any further, but I couldn't say a word. Suddenly, a small black figure appears behind you, reaches out and pushes you, and you step into the pile of skeletons..."
Da Lei was shocked, he remembered, the day after the tent was overturned by the strong wind, he was separated from Xiaohai, when looking for Xiaohai, he got lost, and when he was hesitating which way to go, he really felt that he was being pushed forward.
"The second dream is even stranger, although I am a bystander, it is a picture of us leading a camel from the village to the Loulan ruins. And it wasn't just the two of us on the road, there was a shadow, vague, following behind us. ”
"And then?" Da Lei asked.
"I couldn't see the shadow clearly, it was a dark shadow. In front of the Octagon, you told me you to go in and have a look, let me wait outside, and then the black shadow followed you in, and then the Octagonal collapsed. I shouted to rush in and find you, and suddenly woke up with a convulsion. ”
Da Lei was silent for a while after listening, and it seemed that the black shadow he saw in the stone statue water was the black shadow that Xiao Hai dreamed of.
It turns out that it has been around since that early time.
Could it be that all this was arranged?
Damn it! What kind of play is that black shadow?!
"Brother, what did you dream about?" Xiao Hai asked.
"I dreamed of you. If you're not mistaken, it's probably the dream you experienced when you were unconscious. In my dream, you are in an attic..."Before Da Lei finished speaking, he suddenly heard a rapid running sound coming from the dark corridor.
"Click, click, click...", the sound got closer and closer.
The two of them suddenly felt nervous, and hurriedly stood up, Da Lei took out a dagger, and signaled Xiaohai not to be afraid and hide behind him.
The sound of rapid running was accompanied by wheezing.
The voice is getting louder and louder, and gradually I can see the figure in the corridor.
"Ah——!h A shout came, and two figures ran out of the corridor and fell in front of Da Lei and Xiao Hai.
It turned out to be Chen Lao and Wu Zi.
