Chapter 13: Nightmares

This sleep was extremely restless, even if I closed my eyes, my brain was still full of blood, and memories that I had not dared to touch for many years came to my mind at this time.

Yesterday the boy asked her, who took your name? Don't you know that the word "cloud famine" is a taboo in Kyushu?

She naturally knows the origin of her name, although the master never mentions it to her, but she can't forget the catastrophe, the experience of the past six years, how can she forget?!

Yes, she is from the Cloud Wilderness, she is a Wu Clan, and the first color that comes into her life is a blood-red color.

Her name is Yunhuang, and she lives for the entire Wu clan.

She should have died in that catastrophe fourteen years ago, and it was not a fluke that she survived.

She had forgotten what her mother was like, but she would never forget her taste, the smell of bloody, unforgettable.

Fourteen years ago, Yin Xia's 100,000 army sailed into the cloud famine, and for a time the lives were devastated. In fact, the two of them were not the only ones who hid in the cave at that time, but there was no water or food in the cave, and many people starved to death.

Later, after seven days of heavy rain, blood seeped into the stratum, waking up the sacred beast Qilin who guarded the veins of the cloud wasteland, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, and many people died, and her mother took her to escape from the cave, but the entire cloud wilderness was already a devastation, full of corpses, and the grass and trees were exhausted. The mother found some food to eat in the abandoned house to get by.

Rao is like this, after all, the food is getting less and less, the mother has lost too much blood, and her body is getting worse day by day, and finally one day she never woke up again.

When she was young, she was so hungry that she cried, this cry attracted the divine beast Qilin, maybe it was her mother's spirit that touched the divine beast, maybe her mother used the secret art of the witch clan on her, or maybe the sky should not kill her, the Qilin took her back to the cave at the bottom of the valley, found her food, and raised her as her own child.

Despite this, there was less and less food to eat, especially no water, but they found the distant mountains and forests, which became their source of food.

However, because no one has set foot for many years, the mountains and forests have been occupied by wild beasts, and although the unicorn is brave, it is already old after all. Yun Huang also likes to run around, and he can't stay by her side all the time, so they can only come out to forage for food during the day and return to the cold cave at night.

They don't always hunt for food, and they are always hungry and full. Sometimes there is no food, even bark and grass roots are eaten.

It's been six years, and Yun Huang still can't walk or speak, but she is no longer afraid of the beasts in the mountains and forests, and she can go in and out alone, and sometimes she can bring back some delicious food.

There is no good or evil in her world, only life or death, and if she doesn't survive, she will become like the ugly wreckage on the ground.

She never thought she would be able to leave the valley one day. It was Shen Ji's arrival that made her see the light, and the man in white came to her like a god, stretched out his hand to her, and asked her if she was willing to leave with him. The moment she gave her hand to him, she also gave up her life.

At first they lived in a small mountain village, where there were indeed many children her age, and for the first time she saw so many living people, who smiled at her and threw things at her. She didn't know it was mockery, and thought they were playing with her.

Later, when she saw Shen Ji teaching those children behind her back, she gradually realized that they didn't like her. In the eyes of the world, she is an alien who walks on all fours and cannot speak. She began to attack, but the more angry she became, the happier the men seemed to be, until one time she rushed up and bit a boy by the neck.

It was the second time she tasted blood, and she thought of her mother, and for a moment she was stunned, and the stick was swinging.

When Shen Ji rushed over, she had already been beaten to the ground, and she was looking at him with teary eyes. He pushed away the crowd and held her tightly under him, and the sticks hit him, and she listened to it, and her heart ached.

The boy fell ill once, and it is impossible to know what happened to him. Because Shen Ji took her away. The villagers gathered in front of their small house and forced Shen Ji to hand over the demon girl, saying that they wanted her to pay for her life. Shen Ji stood in front of the door with a firewood knife, saying that whoever dared to touch her would kill whoever she did!

At that time, she felt that Shen Ji was her god.

Later, they left the village, and Shen Ji took her a long way, but when she reached Lianyun Peak, she didn't stop.

They stayed here for eight years. He taught her to walk and talk, to read and write, and to live as a human being.

The eight years in Qiluo Mountain were probably the best period of her life.

She thought that this life would go on like this.

When Yun Huang woke up, Shen Ji had already left, she sat on the bed blankly, her pillow was half wet, she couldn't tell whether it was tears or sweat, she only felt cold, the cold derived from the bottom of her heart, swept her whole body.

She got out of bed, opened the window, and saw the orchids in the garden, blooming, the sun was faint, and the weather was good.

"You're awake." A voice came to my ears.

Turning her head, she saw Shen Ji, he had changed his clothes, and he was still dressed in white like snow, she only felt dusty before, but today she somehow saw a little cold.

How did she imagine how the master, who had always been tender and watery, was determined and ruthless when he picked up his sword and fought with people.

"Master." She called him.

Shen Ji walked over with a smile, his sword eyebrows moved slightly, "Why don't you wear shoes, be careful of catching a cold." He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat stains off her face, and asked with concern, "What's the matter, you have a nightmare?" ”

"Hmm." She replied softly, and then asked, "What about those people?" ”

Shen Ji naturally knew who she was referring to, his eyes moved slightly, and he said, "You must be hungry, the master asked someone to make you something delicious, come and taste it." With that, he walked over to the table and opened the food box that had been put away at some point.

Yun Huang was indeed a little hungry, but he didn't have an appetite, so he just ate a little casually and stopped. Shen Ji helped her clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and took away her dirty clothes from yesterday to wash, but she looked absent-minded from beginning to end.

Yun Huang finally couldn't help but ask, "Does the master have something to say to me?" ”

Shen Ji's eyebrows suddenly moved slightly, the porcelain cup in his hand almost fell, his face was embarrassed, and he muttered for a long time before he sat down and spoke slowly: "You also saw it last night, how dangerous it is to follow the master." ”

Yes, he had already thought about it, and deliberately let her see such a terrible scene, so that she could be afraid, so that she could leave herself, and as long as she left him, she would not have to be involved in this troubled world.

But Yun Huang said, "I'm not afraid. ”

"But I'm afraid." Shen Ji said, "Master is only one apprentice, I can't let you have any mistakes, I can't let you get into danger, I can't gamble with your life!" ”

Yun Huang looked at him with a worried look, and he didn't know how to answer, so he only muttered: "Master......"

Shen Ji said: "I have already arranged it, and someone will send you away early tomorrow morning." ”

Yun Huang's face changed, he squatted down, and grabbed Shen Ji's arm tightly: "No, don't drive me away, master!" I don't want to leave the master. ”

Shen Ji held her arm: "The master is not trying to drive you away, just to send you to a safe place." You believe me, this is only temporary, and I will go to you when the master has taken care of the matter here. ”

Yun Huang shook his head: "Don't, I'm not going, I'm not going anywhere!" Let's go, let's go! ”

"Yun Huang is obedient, if you stay here, you will distract me."

Yun Huang sat on the ground and asked with a flat mouth, "Does the master think I'm too cumbersome?" ”

"Why do you think so, the master is afraid that something like this will happen again, in case you don't care about everything......" he hugged her into his arms

"Master only has you, I can't lose you anymore!" ”

Yun Huang finally compromised, he sniffled and asked, "When will the master come back?" ”

"Half a month at most, four or five days at least."

Yun Huang wiped his snot, "Master, don't lie to me!" ”

Shen Ji smiled and pinched her nose: "When did the master deceive you?" Yun Huang took his hand away in disgust, and snorted without turning his head.

Shen Ji rubbed her head and said, "Mr. Yu from Yazhou is my old friend, this person is knowledgeable, funny, and does not follow etiquette, you will definitely like him." And he said, "He has a son, and he is a little older than you, so you should be able to get along well."
