Chapter 40: Nightmare
Ah Li has nightmares at night.
She hadn't known what it was like to have a nightmare for a long, long time, and the last time she had a nightmare was when she was alone before Yuan Yuzhi came.
The dream was strange, and the scenes inside were completely unfamiliar to her.
It's like ancient times.
In the huge palace, the night breeze poured in through the cracks in the old windows, blowing the layers of curtains, and from there came the muffled moans of women, and a little girl walked to and fro in a panic.
The woman inside seemed to be in pain.
Finally, she screamed as if she couldn't hold back any longer, and her voice was very poignant. And with her scream, a loud baby cry resounded through the cold palace.
Outside, a palace man hurriedly ran in, wrapped the bloodstained baby with a piece of clothing at random, and respectfully presented his hands in front of a bright yellow figure.
"Throw it into the moat."
"…… Be. "
From the curtain came the woman's weary and miserable cries, but the man remained unmoved.
Ah Li looked at the palace people who were drifting away, and her heart stabbed suddenly!
No way! He's still so young!
Ah Li hurriedly chased after him, regardless of whether he was in a dream or reality now, his mind was full of the cry of the child, he was still so energetic......
It's almost ...... It's almost time to catch up...... Ah Li chased after the galloping carriage with all her might, her heart flustered......
The palace man indifferently raised the child who was crying in his hand, looked at the cold river below, and threw it fiercely!
Ah Li looked at the swaddling clothes that kept falling like a kite with a broken string, and her heart throbbed suddenly!
"Don't !!"
"A-Li! Ah Li!" Yuan Yanzhi looked at the pale person next to him with his eyes closed, only to feel a great pain in his heart, shaking her gently, but she couldn't wake up for a long time.
Yuan Zhenzhi frowned fiercely, gently helped the person up, and pressed it hard somewhere on his waist!
Ah Li looked at the person in front of her dimly, and couldn't tell where she was for a while. Yuan Yanzhi looked at her dazed appearance, wrapped the person into his arms in distress, and comforted softly: "It's okay, it's okay...... It's just a dream, you're just caught in a nightmare...... It's okay......"
Ah Li gasped for a long time, and only then did her eyes gradually become clearer, and her voice was hoarse and uncertain: "It's just...... Dream? "
"Hmm." Yuan Yanzhi glanced at her and made sure that she had woken up, so he breathed a sigh of relief, got up and opened the door and walked out.
Ah Li stared blankly at the still heavy night outside the window, her eyes didn't know where to fall, and her mind still clearly replayed the various pictures in Fang Cai's dream.
Suddenly, her body was light, and Yuan Yanzhi's embrace pulled her mind back, until she saw the steaming water in the bathtub, she realized that her body had already been soaked in cold sweat, sticky and greasy, very uncomfortable.
A kiss fell on her forehead, Yuan Yanzhi stroked her face, and said softly: "Take a good bath, I'll be outside."
"Hmm."
He had already pushed the door and went out, Ah Li looked at the bathtub, and only slowly took off her clothes and entered the water for a while. The warmth in all directions wrapped her softly, and she exhaled softly, gradually relaxing.
Outside, Fu Baiman was sleeping on his back on the slave boat, and neither of them was woken up by this movement. Yuan Yanzhi walked to the window, his eyes fixed on the outside, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ya Ya crawled up to him with great difficulty, tilting her head to look at him, as if to ask what was going on.
Sure enough, it's a little thing made by Ah Li with blood, and what happens to Ah Li, will it feel something? Yuan Yanzhi looked at it and didn't say a word. Ya Ya is being looked at the hair, but it is rare that he did not escape.
The man who had listened for a long time said, "It's all right."
Ya Ya then crawled back to his nest with confidence, and fell asleep with the little tiger in his arms.
The sky is getting brighter, and Ah Li is still asleep after the toss last night. Yuan Yizhi got up lightly, dropped a feather on her lips, and walked out.
Fu Baiman was excitedly flipping through the small skirt that Ah Li bought for her a few days ago, and when he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw Yuan Yizhi with a cold face, and the sound that was about to break out stopped abruptly, choking her up and down.
Yuan Yizhi glanced at the pink and tender little dress with little interest, and Ah Li also bought him a cabinet full of them, including......
Glaring at the two of them warningly, he went out with the key.
Well, he was going to buy fresh ingredients to prepare breakfast for Ah Li, and the thought of her feasting on the food she had made made in his heart made his heart happy.
They had a peaceful life here, but Si'an was about to be overturned by the surging waves!
The previous bride case has not yet been found, but new cases are coming one after another, making him busy every day, and he is about to go to the hospital after overwork!
Pinching the previous deceased information and visiting everywhere, busy feet do not touch the ground.
This season of revival is not at all lovely in his opinion!
"Buckle, buckle." Knocked politely on the door a few times and waited quietly.
However, there was no movement for a long time.
He frowned and continued to knock, but the door next to him was suddenly opened roughly: "Knock what knock!" It's early in the morning!"
"…… Excuse me, does this person live here? Expressionlessly, he handed over the photo in his hand, and he felt that this person's spittle was about to spray on his face, and he moved back two steps without a trace.
The man squeezed his eyes and looked, "Stop! But he didn't come back for two days, and he only rented a house here for a month. "
He can't come back.
Si An silently added in his heart. Then he showed his ID and borrowed the key under the man's astonished gaze.
The room inside the door smelled big musty and cluttered. Si An pinched his nose and walked around, didn't find any important clues, and was about to leave, but he heard a slight chain sound, followed the sound and walked over, but a small black hand suddenly stretched out from a small wooden hole on his side! The landlord who followed up with Si An and Curious was shocked!
The little hand stretched back and forth, and the sound of chains rattled with his movements. Si'an looked solemn and pushed aside a pile of debris in front of the wooden board, and an oversized wooden box was revealed, and a lock was still on the dilapidated wooden board.
Si An turned around and asked the landlord silently, and he quickly shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
Si An frowned and twisted the rusty lock, probably because it was too wet, the wood at the lock was eroded badly, and Si An took a little effort to pull out the lock completely.
Carefully open it, and a strange smell rushes to your nose! However, after Si An saw the scene inside, his eyes widened!
A small child, unkempt and unkempt, with clothes on his body that could only avoid his body, his body was thin and weak, and he was cowering timidly looking at the stranger two people in front of him.
And his hands and feet were chained by a rusty chain.
Si An hurriedly strode in and picked him up carefully, and then called someone.
Looking at this dumb child, Si Anxin was full of thoughts.
The child was quickly handed over to the hospital for a physical examination, Si An looked at Xiao Lu who was walking towards him, and said in a deep voice: "Go back and investigate what the relationship between this child and yesterday's deceased is."
"Yes! Oh yes, Captain," Xiao Lu handed the bag in his hand to Si An, "This is the breakfast that Forensic Doctor Wei asked me to bring you." "
Speaking of which, the biggest benefit of following the captain is that every morning Forensic Doctor Wei will bring them a breakfast for these team members.
Si An took it as usual, and he didn't need to look at it, he knew that there would definitely be a bottle of milk inside.
……
Ah Li woke up as soon as her feet walked before Yuan Zhen, and her head was stunned for a moment. Then get up and wash up as usual. When he came out, he looked at Fu Baiman and Yaya, who were fighting, and looked at their energetic appearance, and suddenly thought of Yuan Yanzhi's sudden dizziness last night.
"Shall we go grocery shopping? Today I cook. "Buy some good ones and come back to replenish Yuan Zhenzhi's body.
There was silence in the room, Fu Baiman looked at her in surprise, and even Nu Zhou's face was curious.
Is there anything wrong with ......'s words?
Fu Baiman looked at her and said, "The one in your family has already gone out to buy ...... "The big guy knows how to cook......
"I know!"
"So what are you going to do? Help? "
Ah Li almost wants to beat this thing to death, can her mouth not be so poisonous!
"It's as if I don't divide the grains, and now my aunt and grandmother will let you see for a long time!"
Fu Baiman swallowed his saliva and hesitated: "It's still ...... Don't ......"
She hasn't taken revenge yet, she doesn't want to die.
However, her wish failed to come true, and she was beaten by Ah Li and dragged out.
"Do you feel like someone is watching us?"
"I'm staring at you, to be exact."
Fu Baiman looked at Ah Li and said with a strange expression: "Do you owe money to someone?" Or who did you have a feud with? "Otherwise, someone has been staring at them lately, and they all came to the door.
Ah Li touched her chin: "Although I don't know how much money I have, it is generally owed to me by others, and I have never borrowed money from others."
"......" Fu Baiman grinded his teeth, angry at Ah Li's words.
"Enemy...... Ah Li narrowed her eyes and said shamelessly: "I'm so beautiful and kind-hearted, who will make an enmity with me!"
Fu Baiman: "Vomit ......"
Suddenly, Ah Li stopped, picked off a small pebble from the wall next to her, and threw it towards the left rear!
The man was hit in the knee, but he looked at the man in front of him as if he didn't feel it.
Ah Li frowned fiercely, she was very clear about her strength, even if there was no blood this time, it would definitely be swollen, but this person didn't seem to feel anything.
I walked towards him strangely, but the man immediately turned around and ran away!
At the same time, the stares from other directions disappeared completely, as if they had never appeared.
Who the hell is spying on her......
"Eh, Xiaorong!" A voice next to her suddenly pulled her back to reality, and Ah Li looked at the old man who greeted her and was also surprised: "Uncle Chang? You're back?! "
Uncle Chang is an old man who used to set up a fortune teller here, Ah Li took care of her in life when she first arrived at this place, Ah Li also liked this old man, he said before that there was something at home to go back, and he hadn't seen him for a long time.
He set up a stall to tell fortunes, all according to what he learned, and he never deceived others. Ah Li chatted with him for a while, looking at the very familiar figure beside him, the man was still quietly turning his head to avoid her, Ah Li smiled: "Hey, isn't this Master Tian?" Are you here to exorcise demons today? "
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Master Tian turned around helplessly, and his face was even more embarrassed when he heard Ah Li's words.
"The ability of the little Taoist friends before is really impressive......"
"Small scenes, small scenes." Ah Li smiled and used his previous words in the hotel to block his non-yin and non-yang tone, and successfully saw the pork liver color rising on his face.
