Chapter 7: The Oath in a Dream
Chapter VII Introduction
Yangcheng Post House, the three floors inside and the three floors outside the hall are stationed with personal guards, and the emperor Tuoba Hong is here.
Ji Yu reconciled Rin and dismounted outside the post house and went directly to the emperor.
Ji Yu said respectfully to the young emperor: "The younger brother has found out that the burning of the military grain warehouse this time may be the work of Xiao Qi lurking in my Great Wei. The younger brother has been secretly searching for their hiding traces for the past few days, and the results will be available soon. ”
Tuoba Hong put down the fold sent by the officials of Yangcheng and said to Ji Yu: "Brother Huang has worked hard."
Ji Yu hurriedly arched his hand.
Tuoba Hong waved his hand and motioned for Ji Yu to sit, and Ji Yu sat down unceremoniously. The relationship between these two brothers has been good since childhood, although Tuoba Hong is the eldest son of Emperor Xianwen, but there is not much difference in age from his brothers.
And the seventh brother Tuoba Xiang, the word Ji Yu, is even closer to Tuoba Hong. Tuoba Hong always likes to take him with him wherever he goes, and the brotherly relationship between the two has reached the point of talking about everything.
This time, the emperor personally patrolled, but Pian happened to encounter the burning of military rations, which made Tuoba Hong very angry. In order to appease the morale of the army and give an explanation to the Yangcheng military camp, he stayed and visited it in person.
After Ji Yu sat down, he was dull and a little melancholy.
Tuoba Hong thought that he was worried about the military rations case, so he chuckled and said, "The seventh brother is in a hurry, and things will always come to light."
Ji Yu was dumbfounded, raised his eyes and looked at Tuoba Hong silently, and said half-loudly: "Brother Huang, that girl left, it is the crime of the younger brother."
Tuoba Hong stood up abruptly and stared at Ji Yu coldly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a dense forest in the depths of the valley, and there is a pool of clear water in the dense forest.
I touched the temperature of the water, it was cold and comfortable. Anyway, there was no one else in the valley but me, so I took off my clothes and walked into the water without thinking.
The white wolf kept crouching on the shore and watching me play in the water, feeling like my protector. Every time I came to bathe in this stream, the white wolf would stand on the shore and wait for me. Although it is an animal, it is also a male, and every time I drive it, it does not leave. I can't help it, I don't care about it, let it be there. Maybe it's protecting me, afraid that other animals will come out and hurt me. After all, in such a deep valley, some other animals are not sure.
Twice, I felt the branches shake and thought it was someone, but the vigilant white wolf remained motionless, and I was relieved to see that it didn't respond.
Usually when I wander around the valley with the white wolf, as long as there is the slightest movement, it will run over quickly, or the wolf howls, and if there is no response at this time, it is just the wind, I am very relieved, and I take a bath with peace of mind.
In my free time, I thought of the cave in the passage again, and I couldn't help but go in and have a look. The white wolf followed me all the time, except for it to find food, and the rest of the time it was by my side.
It was still a sunny day, and I sat on the stone bed in the cave, the surface of the stone bed was not smooth, it was rough, and it was brown, a little different from ordinary stones.
I don't think this stone is any ordinary stone, but I don't see why.
Lying on the stone bed, I looked up at the sunlight gap above the stone bed, and the sun was shining on me. Although the sun outside was strong, the sun shining down on me from the top of the stone peak did not feel dazzling.
The cave was cold, and the sun was shining on the body, and it was warm. It just happened to be very comfortable.
The white wolf did not jump on the stone bed, but stood by the stone bed, looking at me faintly.
I don't know why, I just like to lie down on the stone bed and sleep for a while. After lying down with my eyes slightly closed, I was attracted to the brightly colored mushrooms. Thinking that it was delicious that day, I picked a few more and put them in my mouth to eat. Suddenly I felt like a wild man, eating around casually.
From the first time I woke up, at the water's edge in a deep mountain valley, I found myself eating raw food so often. After being rescued by Ji Yu, I ate a lot of delicious food in Mengxian Residence. Now it's a little nostalgic.
Eating mushrooms, my expression was a little sluggish, full of all the getting along with Ji Yu in Mengxian Residence.
Am I going back? Do you want to meet him? I thought about it over and over again. In the end, I decided not to go.
Time flies, and I've been with the white wolf in the valley for a month. Every day, he plays freely with the white wolf in the valley, and at night he dates the evil man in his dream, and his life is very envious.
One day, I found some seeds in the cupboard in the house, and I turned over a field with grass and planted them. Go and water it every day, watch it once, and wait for it to sprout. I don't know these seeds, and I'm curious to know what they'll look like when they come out. I look forward to seeing it in the vegetable garden every day.
But I've lived there for so many days and haven't seen any dangerous animals. It was in the woods, walking around to see how big this valley really was, when I encountered a black snake.
That day, the white wolf followed me, and before I found the snake, I let the white wolf see it first. The white wolf howled into the grass, and I immediately realized that there was something there, so I stood still.
The white wolf walked up to me, burrowed into the grass, and bit a snake out of the grass.
I was startled, and my face changed. The snake was the size of a cup, and its whole body was black. Only those eyes were shining. I froze there, watching the white wolf and the black snake tremble at each other.
The white wolf was very brave, and within a few strokes, the snake was bitten by the white wolf. But I saw that the serpent's head was always facing me, and its eyes were always looking at me. It felt like they were asking me for help.
Am I mistaken? I feel sorry for it, even though it is a snake, it is also a life! It didn't come to hurt me, but the white wolf thought it would hurt me, so he struck first.
I looked at it again, and the Black Snake really felt like it was asking me for help. I walked over slowly and called, "Xiaobai, stop, stop."
The white wolf understood my words, and with the snake in his mouth, he glanced at me.
I waved my hand and shouted to it, "Stop, Xiaobai."
The white wolf hesitated, and finally let go of its mouth and its claws, but still stood next to the snake, afraid that it would attack me.
The black snake didn't move, it felt like it was going to die, but its eyes were still looking at me.
I walked over to the snake and took a closer look at its wounds, which were old wounds in addition to the new ones inflicted on it by the white wolf. I think it's pathetic.
Is a snake going to die like that?
I remembered that the herb I had applied in the cave had a good effect on the wound.
I immediately said to the white wolf: "You are guarding it here, you are not allowed to hurt it again, I will go get some herbs."
I don't know if the white wolf understood? But I feel like it understands what I'm saying.
I took two quick steps, turned around and said to the white wolf again: "You are not allowed to hurt it again, remember!"
Then I ran to the cave, where I grabbed a handful of herbs and ran back. Grate the herbs and apply them to the black snake's body.
After applying it, I said to the black snake: "You can rest here, Xiaobai won't hurt you." Whether you can be good or not is up to you. ”
When I got back to the house, I felt as if I wasn't afraid of snakes anymore. Snakes are terrible and there are not. After that, I went to the position of the black snake and looked at it, and the snake was no longer there. Probably healed and crawled away on his own. Because I think that herb will definitely make it better.
After being in the valley for so long, I didn't feel lonely or uncomfortable, but I couldn't just live like that. I haven't figured out who I really am and where my home is. In the days since, I started to get a little depressed.
Sitting on the fence, I looked at the wide lake, touched the white wolf's hair, and said to myself: "White wolf, I want to go, I want to go out, I want to figure out who I am, I want to know where my home is?" I can't go on with such a fool. White wolf, it's not that I don't want to accompany you, it's that I really have to figure out something, and if I don't go out, I'll never know who I really are. Can you understand me? ”
The white wolf looked at me and listened very carefully, as if he really understood.
I pursed my lips at it and smiled, "When I figure out who I am and find my family, I'll come back to you, okay?" ”
When the white wolf heard these words from me, he was very lonely, as if he was about to lose his loved ones. It didn't bounce around much, but snuggled up to me, just quietly.
That night, I dreamed again of the wicked man, who led me to a tree.
Every time I dream of a demon man in my dream, the scene is night, and there is never daylight.
Don't know why? Because when I look at his face at night, I don't know it very clearly. I wish I could dream of him and have a day's time. But no matter how I think it, no matter how I think it, I can't dream of it. However, it is okay to dream about him often, not during the day.
Maybe it's because I've been in the valley for a long time and I'm lonely, so I want to dream of him.
I don't know why I see him so often in my dreams. And every time he took me to the vicinity of this valley, he never left the valley.
This time, he took me to a tree in the valley, which looked like a god from a distance, and when I got closer, I realized that it was a big tree with two trunks tightly entwined.
Could it be that this is Lian Lizhi?
It's just that how come I haven't found this tree in the valley for so long? Or is everything in this dream just my memory, an illusory world?
I think it's possible that a demonic man can be illusory in a dream, and what else can't be illusory.
This tree is really amazing, far away, before I reach it, I found that the tree itself is shining with a faint light, as if the tree is full of lit lanterns, especially dazzling in the dark world.
When I got closer, I saw that the leaves of this tree would glow, which was really amazing.
The wicked man stood under the tree, looking up at the glowing tree. I don't understand, why did he bring me here? He looked very seriously and contemplatively.
I looked at it quietly for a long time and then asked him, "Is there anything this tree says?" ”
His gaze moved from the tree to my face, and he said calmly: "This is a thousand-year-old tree, this tree gathers the souls of many couples, as long as two people who are in love, only each other in their hearts, swear under this tree, the two of them can be together forever and ever, life and life together."
I was pleasantly surprised and said, "It's amazing!" Is it true? ”
The bewitched man in white looked at me very seriously and replied, "Yes." Will you swear to me here? ”
I looked slightly shocked, "Swear? And you? I shook my head and said, "We're just friends, you're just friends in my dreams, you're not real." I know I'm in a dream now, I'm dreaming, why should I be so serious in my dream? ”
"You don't want to?" He grabbed my arm, dissatisfied and surprised by my answer, thinking I would.
"If you were my real person, maybe I would." I said slowly.
"Really? As long as I am your real life person, you will be willing to be with me? His eyes looked at me with affection.
In order not to upset him, I nodded and replied, "Really."
His eyebrows, which had been twitching just now, finally stretched out, and the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile.
I was a little afraid to meet his gaze, I don't know if it was because of my weak heart, or because I deceived him, I didn't dare to look at him, and turned my gaze to the tree of Lian Lizhi again.
When I woke up again in the morning, I couldn't remember the face of the wicked man in my dream. All I remember is his long hair, tall body, and snow-white clothes. It's just the conversation with him in the dream, and the sacred tree about Lian Lizhi, I remember it clearly.
I know I just had a magical dream.
Dreams, that's not reality.
After daytime, I went to look for the 'sacred tree' in my dream, but I couldn't find it. I wonder if I'm remembering the wrong way?
But I still believe that it was all a dream, although I have some doubts.
Dragging my long dress, I strolled along the lake.
I always feel that this lake, this valley is inexplicably familiar, but I can't say where it is familiar.
I always feel like I've been here before.
But I can't remember when I came.
It's like I've lived here myself.
