The night was dark and heavy, and the valley, which was already empty, looked particularly desolate in the dark night without the slightest moonlight and a drop of stars.

A cool breeze blew, and the corners of the tattered clothes moved with the wind, vaguely outlining a slender and slightly trembling figure, and after a while, the wind gradually stopped, leaving only the slender figure trembling gently in a dark silence.

She felt her shiver, but she couldn't tell whether it was from the fear in her heart or the coldness of her body, only that she seemed to have stood alone in this desolate and silent valley for a long time, as if she had lost her way, and seemed to be looking for something.

In a trance, a clear and terrible scream came from a distance, which sounded particularly strange in this empty and quiet valley, and in an instant, a strong sense of fear welled up from the bottom of her heart, and she ran away in a panic.

Suddenly, a sharp lightning bolt streaked across the dark sky, and as soon as the lightning illuminated, she could vaguely see a figure swaying on a small hillside in the distance. Immediately afterward, the thunder that resounded through the valley was deafening, and the echo that followed lingered for a long time like a ghost crying wolf.

The fear spread rapidly from the bottom of her heart, and she could clearly feel the trembling of her hands and feet, and the only thought in her mind was to get away from here as soon as possible, but somehow, her legs and feet seemed to run straight for the small hill where the figure was swaying.

In a moment, the rain poured down.

As the distance narrowed, the figures swaying in the distance became clearer and clearer under the successive lightning, at first there seemed to be two figures staggered and shaking, as if pushing and pulling, the sound of the rain seemed to be mixed with intermittent moans and wheezing, and after a while, it seemed that only a still figure remained, and there seemed to be only clear sound of rain and the sound of wind whistling by from time to time.

The sense of fear that had already permeated her body was instantly overwhelmed by an ominous feeling, and she subconsciously quickened her pace, and a feeling suddenly sprouted in her heart, as if this was what she had been trying to find...... As long as you can climb up the hill quickly, as long as you can see it with your own eyes...... Or who the two figures are, and she can find the answer to everything.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the muddy hillside became more and more slippery, and when she finally stumbled all the way up the small hill, there was only an empty space as far as the eye could see, and even the only figure left before was gone.

Surprised and disappointed, a feeling of fear and unease surged again, and she stood dazed but nervous in the pouring rain, and a gust of wind swept through, rolling up the corners of her tattered clothes, and under the already soaked sleeves, her fists clenched, and her ten fingers were deeply clasped into the palms.

She tried to stabilize her mind, her eyes wide and searched in the thick rain and fog, hoping to find something, and after a while, she faintly smelled a faint smell of blood mixed with a faint smell of earth between her noses, she felt her body begin to tremble uncontrollably again, but her feet unconsciously moved towards the boulder at the other end of the hillside, and with each step forward, the smell of blood at the end of her nose became stronger and stronger, and she could feel more and more that there seemed to be some strange feeling mixed with that deep fear and uneasiness, The closer she got to the boulder, the more tangled she seemed to become, struggling and slow in a trance that was both frightened and expectant.

After a while, she finally walked to the boulder in a trance and entanglement, the moment she stopped, her heartbeat suddenly intensified, she couldn't tell whether she was scared or excited, she tried to calm her mind with a deep breath, however, as soon as she inhaled, a strong smell of blood made her suddenly feel her stomach overturned, and she couldn't help but squat down on the boulder and gag for a while, for a long time, until even the bile was about to vomit, she gritted her teeth and stood up trembling with the boulder again, panting weakly, He stared at the boulder in front of him, as if he wanted to see through the huge stone to see behind it.

After a moment, she seemed to have finally made up her mind, clenching her fists hard, biting her lower lip hard, and taking a difficult step forward.

There was one more step, and she only needed one more step to get around the boulder and see everything behind it without obstruction, but that step seemed to be extremely difficult.

At the moment when she just raised her hind feet, a lightning bolt burst out of the sky, and the dazzling light made her instantly see everything around her, and when she found herself standing in a bloody color, she couldn't help but exclaim.

"Ah......h

Bai Zhu, who had just walked to the porch outside the door, heard the shouts in the room, and was shocked, and immediately rushed to the door, worrying and not caring about the number of courtesies, while exclaiming, "Miss! He hurriedly pushed the door in. When I saw the woman sitting in a daze on the bed, I was surprised, and a hanging heart fell to the ground.

"Miss, are you having nightmares again?" Bai Zhu, who was relieved, walked quickly to the table, quickly took a cup and poured a glass of water, "What did you dream about this time?" Is it being hunted again, or is it lost again in the wilderness valley? When he saw the beads of sweat on her forehead and her frightened look, Bai Zhu couldn't help but sigh secretly: It's been almost two years, and I still have nightmares from time to time, and the scenes I dream of are these two kinds back and forth, every time I either wake up or cry, I really don't know what she experienced that night two years ago, thinking of this, I faintly sympathized with the woman in front of me, so I gently sat on the edge of the bed, handed the teacup forward, and called softly: " Miss, it's okay, it's just a nightmare, let's have a cup of tea to suppress the shock. ”

As if she had just heard someone speak, the woman slowly turned her head at this time, looking at Bai Zhu in a daze, except for the residual fear in her eyes, there was only a bottomless emptiness and blankness, "Miss? The words were as empty and blank as his eyes, as if he was asking Bai Zhu, and he seemed to be talking to himself.

Bai Zhu was a little confused when asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" After a moment of astonishment, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and his face turned pale for a moment, "Little ...... Miss, don't scare the slave, you won't ...... Amnesia again! As he spoke, he put down the teacup and grabbed the woman's arm with both hands, "Miss, do you recognize the slave?" Do you know who you are? Do you remember the events of the past two years? The more he thought about it, the more panicked Bai Zhu unconsciously increased the force in his hand.

Xu felt the pain in her arms, the woman frowned unconsciously, and her eyes gradually returned to clarity, but she still didn't speak.

Bai Zhu was completely panicked, "Miss, the slave is Bai Zhu, Bai Zhu, do you remember?" Baizhu, who has been with you here for two years! The hand holding the woman's arm shook vigorously unconsciously, "And who you are, do you remember?" Do you know that your name is Ling Yuxin, do you remember that you are the eldest lady of the Ministry of Shangshu? There is also a young master...... I've been coming to see your cousin......"

"Oh, remember to remember, you are Bai Zhu, my name is Ling Yuxin, and my cousin Xiao Yurui has been coming to see me!" Ling Yuxin completely sobered up under the shaking of Bai Zhu, "If you continue to shake like this, I will really be amnesiac by you!" ”

Bai Zhu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and immediately let go of his hand while sighing, "Miss, I was scared to death by you!" The slave maid thought that ......" When the words came to his mouth, Bai Zhu realized that he was speechless, and immediately swallowed the second half of the sentence.

"Why? Thought I woke up and had amnesia? Ling Yuxin rubbed her arm that was pinched by Bai Zhu, and pretended to be relaxed: "Is it so easy to lose memory?" Besides, it's not the first time you've seen me have nightmares, and if you do, you can also lose your memory, I don't know how many times I've lost my memory. Speaking of this, the vague scenes in the dream that seemed to be real and illusory resurfaced in my mind, and I felt a lot of emotion in my heart: I have been dreaming about these for almost two years, but I can't really remember it when I wake up, I can only remember some sporadic fragments, is it just a dream or a reality?

Bai Zhu heard a hint of helplessness and sadness in Ling Yuxin's relaxed tone, and comforted: "Miss, there are still seven days to complete the two-year lockdown period, and then you can leave here and return to your own home, the doctor said that the familiar environment, people and things may be able to help you recover your memory, and when you return to your home, you may be able to remember everything soon." ”

Ling Yuxin knew that Bai Zhu was comforting her, although she also held hope, but every time she thought of the past two years, except for the scenes that often appeared in nightmares, she didn't know anything about her past, and even the home and father that her cousin often mentioned to her, she couldn't help frowning, and the many questions that had been haunting her for two years made her fall into contemplation again: What happened that night two years ago? How the hell did I lose my memory? If the dream scene is what I have experienced, who is chasing me? Why are you chasing me? Where is that wilderness valley? Why did I go there? What did I see there? And also...... Why am I grounded here?

Bai Zhu saw Ling Yuxin's eyebrows tightly locked, with a sad expression, thinking that she was thinking about why she had amnesia or worried that she would not be able to recover her memory, so she hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "Miss, it's still early, it's not dawn yet, why don't you sleep for a while, sleep enough, and then have the energy to compete with the young master." ”

"Will my cousin come today?" As soon as she heard that Xiao Yurui was coming, Ling Yuxin was immediately pulled back into her thoughts, and her face immediately showed unconcealable excitement and anticipation, "It's been another ten days?" So fast? ”

Seeing that Ling Yuxin finally turned his worries into joy, Bai Zhu's heart was a little calmer, and he said with a smile: "Miss, you are either buried in the classics of the war all day long, busy arranging troops and strategizing, or immersed in poetry and songs, practicing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, no matter how the day and night in the world alternate, the stars change, you don't realize that time flies!" ”

"Okay, you are a white bamboo, you are good at writing and courage, you actually make fun of me!" Ling Yuxin smiled.

"Wronged, miss, how can the slave make fun of you, what the slave and maid say is the truth, aren't you busy studying the formation every day, busy practicing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that the young master taught you?"

"Oh no," Ling Yuxin suddenly remembered something when Bai Zhu said this, "Patronizing the study of the formation, my cousin's homework has not been done yet, I have to hurry." As he spoke, he lifted the brocade quilt and got out of bed.

"Ah...... Wait, miss, put on your clothes first, be careful of catching a cold. Bai Zhu hurriedly took his clothes and caught up.
