Chapter 1, Xiangshan

Next Chapter

The wind is still cloudy, and it seems to be a bit stronger today.

I looked up at the oppressive sky, and the sky blew a layer of heavy dark clouds from nowhere, mixed with gusts of cold wind, and suddenly there was an illusion that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

"Friends of the tour group, due to sudden changes in the weather, it may rain heavily in the scenic spot, please hurry up and follow my pace to the attractions on the mountain, don't fall behind, so as not to lose or get separated ......,"

The voice of the guide in front of me from the loudspeaker pulled back my thoughts, I tucked the shawl I had just bought at the bottom of the mountain, and pulled the crossbody bag to my lower abdomen, and then followed the endless stream of people to continue along the mountain road.

The bleak wind is dashing, the rhododendrons blooming on both sides of the rugged mountain road are swaying like waves in the yin wind, and the bursts of fragrant wind blowing up have soaked my sense of smell, the smell is very similar to the smell of perfume that Guo Lin often sprays, and I can't help but float to the scene I saw outside the office last night, men and women are intertwined, extremely lingering, the ground is full of messy clothes, through a thick glass door, the woman's shy gasp is clear into the ears, stinging the eardrums.

My boyfriend, who has been in love for eight years, and my new assistant took advantage of my business trip to put on such a good show, but I was able to keep my senses, stand quietly outside the glass door and ask, "Jiang Hongming, do you remember that today is the eighth anniversary of our two acquaintances?" ”

In the office, the frightened men and women were in a hurry, Jiang Hongming's handsome face was a little redder than the sunset in Nancheng, he hurriedly put on his trousers, and explained incoherently, "Yun Ya, I'...... Aren't you coming back tomorrow? I've got that gift ready, you...... You....... ”

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by my cold words, "The gift should be left to Guo Lin, besides, the two of you will be fired from today." ”

Because of this, I only took a vacation today to run more than 200 miles away from the south of the city of Xiangshan to relax, but unfortunately today is not a good time to travel, yesterday was still sunny weather forecast, this morning all became rainy, maybe there will be heavy rain, so I want to go out to relax the plan is completely messy, luck is also back.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask myself repeatedly in my heart, "Yun Ya, do you love Jiang Hongming?" If you really love him, why don't you feel so sad? Of course, the answer is yes, eight years of relationship is not to say that there is no none, but I didn't feel sad, and even on the way home with my suitcase last night, I was just concentrating on driving, and I didn't feel very uncomfortable.

With this vague question, which I couldn't think of for a moment, I felt that the noise around me was getting quieter and quieter, and the path under my feet became wide and flat.

On the trapezoidal winding mountain road, the tourists who are obviously flowing are all gone, and what is even more strange is that the rhododendrons in full bloom on both sides are still like dried flowers in the miserable wind and the mist that spreads at some point, and they do not move at all. The smell floating in the air is no longer the scent of rhododendrons, but damp, moldy, and even unpleasant.

I blinked, I couldn't believe what I saw, but I turned my head to look around, there was no one in the whole world except me, those tourists who seemed to disappear in the blink of an eye, cold sweat couldn't help but soak my underwear, I tried to make a sound to break the fear brought by this quiet space, but unexpectedly, my dry throat was like a dry field that had not been watered for a long time, I opened my mouth and couldn't make any sound, and suddenly my whole body stiffened, and my mind was blank.

Fortunately, I am an atheist and have a good education, so after a moment of stunnedness, I looked around and made sure that what I was seeing was the truth, and then I thought that I was in a nightmare. Maybe I'm not really traveling in Xiangshan now, but I'm stuck in my own dream and can't extricate myself?

Just as I was trying to remember and make sure I had encountered the heart-wrenching farce in the office, and then went home to sleep before I ran into the nightmare, a dull but piercing sound suddenly came from a distance.

"It's just a dream, Yun Ya, don't be afraid!" I reminded myself as I mustered up the courage to look at the source of the sound.

The fog in front of me was as thick as white smoke at some point, and the green hills, green trees, and blooming azaleas were all hidden in the fog and could not be seen, but in the distant blurred place, there was a faint touch of cyan, which was particularly clear in the white smoke, about ten meters high, and the width was unknown. Obviously, the color is verdant, like a pool of green algae growing tenaciously in a pool of dirty water, but here and now, I only feel weird and gloomy, and my scalp is numb.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a gust of wind blew, the surrounding white fog was all blown away, even the green mountains, the path seemed to be blown away by this gust of wind, the mountain road under the feet turned into a muddy ground in the blink of an eye, the green mountains and rhododendrons in all directions were nowhere to be found, only the gray world and a huge stone gate appeared out of thin air a hundred meters in front of me, I raised my head but could not see the apex of the stone gate, it seemed to connect the heaven and the earth, and I could only see the faint blue light emitted by it, and the white mist that continued to gush out behind the half-hidden stone door.

At this moment, I didn't know the fear, I just stared blankly at the cyan stone door, and my mind went blank.

But I can feel that the white mist gushing out behind the stone gate is mixed with a strange smell, indescribable, like the ethereal spirit when climbing the mountain to look up at the sunrise during the Qingming Festival, and like the cold air in the silent nightfall, in a daze, there seems to be a strange sound source in my ears, which seems to be real and illusory, and seems to be close to far away: "With my body, with the spirit of the witch, sacrifice heaven and earth, open the spell of the witch spirit, for thousands of years, never give up!" ”

I shuddered unconsciously, the voice seemed to be far away, and it seemed to be close to my ears, but there was no outsider in all directions except for the dark light, could it be that the voice came from behind the bluestone gate? I bit my lip and looked behind the half-hidden stone door with wide eyes, but there was nothing to be seen inside except for the endless darkness, but the strange aura that kept pouring out from behind the door enveloped my whole body, and I felt a sense of involuntarily turning around and trying to escape, and this feeling of involuntary involuntariness was very bad, and I began to get anxious and began to try my best to get rid of this bondage, but all I did was a drop in the bucket, and I could not move myself at all.

Am I going to die here? Isn't this a nightmare, is this a real scenario?

I can't say it, I can't tell the sadness, although I fell out of love and was abandoned by my boyfriend, but I don't want to die, I still want to live, and I want to live well, so that Jiang Hongming can see my chic, my freedom, and let him regret it for the rest of his life?

With this strong conviction, I let out a loud cry from my throat: Ah! With this sound, I seemed to be able to move, and in my joy, I blinked and sat up suddenly.

The surroundings were quiet again, and in the dark night, the purple curtains in the room were dancing with the wind, and it seemed to be raining outside the window.

It turned out to be really just a nightmare! I let out a long breath, reached out and stroked my long sweaty hair, and closed my eyes tiredly.
