Chapter 341: A Corner of the Future
It was a strange feeling, because for a long time the road under my feet was one of those cold, hard steps. My feet suddenly became so soft that I was so startled that I almost thought I was stepping on the air.
However, when I looked down, I saw that the soft feeling under my feet was actually stepping on the rotten leaves, which was a forest, and it even looked a little familiar.
How did I come to such a place when I entered the Afterlife Stone?
Where is this, and why is there such an inexplicable sense of familiarity? I thought about it carefully, and while thinking about it, I walked forward, and I found that all kinds of plants and trees in this forest looked very common, and these trees and flowers could be seen everywhere in Yangjiazhuang.
After a little more walking, I began to hear the sound of water gradually.
In this kind of place, the sound of water tends to keep people from getting lost, and I keep walking in the direction where the sound of water comes from. Peeling aside the layers of shrubs and weeds, I saw a small stream trickling in front of me.
This kind of small river feels very familiar to me, which reminds me of the Qingshui River in Yangjiazhuang. In our village, there are two places to replenish the water of the Qingshui River, the first is the fenced pond behind the village west elementary school, this pool never dries, but as mentioned before, there are many strange things happening. There is also a supply, which flows down from the direction of Qingyan Mountain, which is a seasonal river, which will dry up in the dry season, so the villagers rely on the big pool of water supply in the village west primary school.
I walked down the stream, and after a while, I saw a ridge in front of me. The creek disappeared at the bottom of the hill over there, presumably forming a dark river.
When I saw this mountain, I knew that this was really our village.
Yangjiazhuang is surrounded by several mountain ranges, in fact, one of them, in the south of our village, it is called Pingpaomaling, and the Taoyuan is called Beiling, and the one on both sides of the dead man's ditch is called Xiling.
I didn't dare to stop for a moment, I climbed up this mountain in one breath, stood on the mountain, looked down, the sky was foggy, a bit like the color of a cloudy evening, and I couldn't see the sun or the moon or anything, and I saw a quiet little village under the clouds.
This distance is not close, although I can only see the dotted houses or something, but I can still be sure that this is Yangjiazhuang, there is absolutely nothing wrong, because everything is too familiar.
In this way, the problem arises.
Didn't I enter the afterlife, why did I return to Yangjiazhuang?
Could it be that this is the corner of the future that Yang Mufan said, but I don't see anything special! Or maybe I made a mistake before the Afterlife Stone, and I didn't enter the Afterlife Stone at all, but returned to Yangjiazhuang?
I don't care so much, I'll go back to the village and have a look.
When I was a child, I used to play here, and I still remember those mountain roads, going down from this Happy Valley, along a small stream that came out of the mountain at the bottom of the mountain, and went downstream. This creek eventually joins the Qingshui River, which is generally dry in winter, and the river has dried up at this time in previous years, so the creek is now very abundant.
Speaking of the creek, I suddenly noticed a problem, yes, it's winter! When I was taken out of the village by Wang Xiu'e, the village was covered with snow, but now it seems that everything around me is tender and green, the grass is abundant, and everything looks like spring.
In this way, I am indeed still in the Sansheng Stone, and what I see should be a corner of the future, it should be so!
In this case, I can't afford to delay time, I have to see a corner of the future, I still have to return from the bluestone steps, time is already very short.
I quickened my speed and walked down the river, almost to the place where there were more willow trees, and I could faintly see that there seemed to be something in the river.
Pushing aside the thick willow by the river, I was stunned.
On a gravel beach in the middle of the Qingshui River was a large pile of corpses, full of wounds, men, women, old and young, and it was clear that they were all dead. Even the flowing water of the Qingshui River next to it was dyed red, and when I looked into the water of the An River, I found that there were corpses all over the river.
This scene makes my scalp tingle, is this a corner of the future, the future of Yangjiazhuang is like this?
It's something I can't accept anyway, and this kick in the future is even more terrifying than the one ten years ago. The smell of blood fills the river.
Although this is not something that has already happened, if the future of Yangjiazhuang is really like this, I have no way to accept it anyway.
They are not villagers living and working in a mountain village, why did they end up like this?
In this scene, I remembered Yang Mufan's words, maybe this result has a lot to do with me.
Thinking of this, I ran towards the village, where many houses were in tatters and collapsed. I even saw that there were still bloody corpses in the courtyards of some homes.
Zhu Danian's house was full of smoke, the house was about to burn down, and there were several charred corpses lying in the courtyard of his house. This scene was so terrible that I didn't even have the courage to continue walking, I didn't dare to walk towards my house.
When I arrived at the door of the fat aunt's house, her house collapsed, and at the door of her house, I saw Shen Yue kneeling there, motionless. As I walked over, I saw that he had a dagger in his chest, and his mouth and nose were covered in blood. ", Shen Ye, what are you doing here?" I couldn't even resist shouting, but when I did, I realized that what I was seeing wasn't real, at least not yet.
In the courtyard, the fat aunt and Zhang Ling were lying in the center of the courtyard, without any movement, and their bodies were all covered in blood. From a distance, I saw Zhang Ling holding a yellow talisman in her hand, the yellow talisman folded into a triangle should be the one I gave in the past.
Thankfully, this is just a tip of the story, and at least there's something I can do about it until that happens. That's right, I must be able to do something, otherwise, Yang Mufan wouldn't have let me come here to see this.
It must be like this!
The fat aunt's house was not far from my house, and I looked in the direction of my house, and in the thick fog there, I saw in the distance that there was a cyan dragon wrapped around my house, and the scales were all covered with blood, and it was still dripping down. Who is it, is it Xizi, or Uncle Dog?
I ran that way, and when I got closer, I realized that the dragon had fallen to the ground, no longer moving, and there was blood all around.
Its eyes had not yet closed, and in the midst of the huge dragon's eyes, I saw a figure, and that person was me.
It's not the figure I am now, but me who is entangled in a cloud of black gas.
The moment I saw this, I felt a tingling in my scalp, why is this happening? Could it be that I am the one who caused all this terrible result?
How is this possible, how did I become like that?
This dragon should be the green dragon that Uncle Dog turned into, yes, he actually died at my hands. Before it died, it was still around my house, and it was still desperately protecting the people of my family, and I saw it with a sour nose.
"Van ...... Fanwazi ......"
Grandma's voice came from the yard, I hurriedly bypassed Uncle Dogan's huge body, ran to the yard, and saw my grandmother crawling in the yard with her face covered in blood, she stretched out her hand to look at the sky, and kept shouting to me.
"Grandma, I'm here, grandma......" My voice became choked, and I tried to help my grandma up, but I couldn't touch her, and my grandma couldn't hear me at all.
In addition, I also saw my father lying on the steps of the upper house, and his hair was all gray, the same as his grandfather's gray hair that night.
I went inside the house and looked around, but I didn't see my mom and Xiaowei, where did they go?
Grandma kept shouting my name to the sky.
At this moment, the sky was full of thick clouds, and when I looked that way, I saw a dark figure standing between the clouds and looking down at everything below.
And that person, surrounded by a cloud of black gas, looks extremely evil, will I really become like that?
