Looking through the cracks in the iron gate, along the winding path of the mountain, you can see that on the ground shrouded in black, there is actually a strange black gas, with countless black and red shadows gradually crawling out of the ground, gathering outside the iron gate, wandering around, as if looking for prey.

Hiss...

Zuo Zheng gasped, turned around, looked at Zhang Xiaolin and said, "What are those things?" ”

"Monsters, the monsters I told you!" Zhang Xiaolin, who was sitting on the bed, held her knees and said.

Zuo Zheng frowned deeply, still recalling the scene he had just seen the monsters in his mind, and what made him strange was that he had seen those monsters, but he couldn't remember their appearance.

"Rest early. Tomorrow will be fine. As soon as the morning dawned, the monsters left. Zhang Xiaolin beckoned to him.

Zuo Zheng looked at the monster outside the door again, and then walked to Zhang Xiaolin and sat down.

He had a familiar feeling about this woman, but he didn't seem to know it. I always feel like I'm missing a part of my memory.

"Can you tell me about the past?" Zuo Zheng looked at her and said.

"Before?" Zhang Xiaolin raised her eyebrows, and looked at Zuo Zheng seriously, as if she wanted to see something different from him.

Neither of them spoke at this time, staring at each other, the candles on the table flickering with firelight, pulling their shadows long.

In the end, Zhang Xiaolin broke the deadlock and slowly said: "We have lived here for a long time. From our ancestors to the present. But I'm not very clear about other things, like the stuff out there. I remember growing up we lived together and played with each other, until now, when you occasionally go to herd cattle and hunt, I work in the village. ”

"Grandpa was still there, and he would tell us ghost stories and scare us. It says that our place is a cursed place, no one can leave this place, and when it gets dark, you must go home or you will die. ”

"I'm going to die!" Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaolin accentuated her voice.

Zuo Zheng asked again: "Has no one ever left the village?" ”

Zhang Xiaolin shook his head and said: "There shouldn't be, although some people have tried to leave before, but this place is too big, even if you walk for a day and a night, you may not be able to leave this forest, and if you can't leave, you will be killed by those monsters outside." ”

Zuo Zheng was sitting down, listening carefully to Zhang Xiaolin's words, and he seemed to be thinking, isn't this a cage? It must be very lonely to live in this kind of place all your life!

"Can you tell me about that dream you had? Xiao Zuo has become different since that dream, don't you really remember what happened before? Zhang Xiaolin changed the subject.

"Before?" Zuo Zheng shook his head, he felt that the place where he lived now was not as real as that dream.

Zuo Zheng obviously didn't trust Zhang Xiaolin very much, so he didn't say much about it, and the important details in the dream were all brushed aside.

Zhang Xiaolin sighed distressedly, as if she was sad because she was not trusted by Zuo Zheng.

"Xiao Zuo, don't you really remember? I'm your sister, although I'm not biological, but I've also played together since childhood! Zhang Xiaolin asked expectantly.

"I seem to remember, but I don't seem to remember, can you give me a moment?" Zuo Zheng said embarrassedly.

"Alas. Rest early. Zhang Xiaolin sighed and said, "It's okay if you don't remember, but you have to remember that here, I am your dearest and dearest person, no matter what you encounter, I will protect you." ”

Zuo Zheng nodded.

Zhang Xiaolin suddenly grabbed the back of his hand and looked at him with some emotion in her eyes.

Feeling the temperature from the other party's palm, Zuo Zheng was slightly stunned, and that kind of temperature seemed to bring peace to people.

After being silent for a while, Zuo Zheng said, "What about the rest of the village?" ”

Zuo Zheng came back to his senses abruptly, as if since he woke up, except for him and Zhang Xiaolin, he hadn't seen a second person.

"They probably rested early. It's normal not to see it. Most of the people in the village went home before dark and closed the door to rest. Everyone is afraid of the monsters outside. Zhang Xiaolin said.

"Is that so?" Zuo Zheng's expression gradually relaxed, although he still had a lot of doubts in his heart, but he was too tired, so he didn't worry too much.

Ever since I had that dream, my mind has been in a state of chaos, and I can't remember a lot of things, and when I think about it, I will find that I am very tired and want to sleep, and this feeling of exhaustion will not disappear no matter how many times I sleep.

"Let's sleep..."Zhang Xiaolin got up and blew out the candles, and all of a sudden, the room went completely dark.

After a while, Zhang Xiaolin returned to bed, hugged Zuo Zheng, and motioned for him to sleep.

The fragrance and warmth from the other party's body made Zuo Zheng feel extremely peaceful, and his sleepiness was even stronger.

After a while, he fell asleep completely.

I don't know when, Zuo Zheng started dreaming, it was the dream this morning.

In the dream, he has cancer, and after thinking twice, he decides to quit his job and go to the country of goose, where he encounters strange things, the moon melts, and there are invisible monsters that ravage and harvest human lives.

On the train in the dream, Zuo Zheng heard his mother's voice.

I met a girl named Yurou.

They became friends and had to get off in Wushi because something strange happened.

There, they were surrounded by countless mutants, and in order to compete for a glimmer of life, Zuo Zheng fought side by side with Yurou, and his long-lost parents also returned to him in some form.

The story in yesterday's dream is gradually appearing in his mind like a movie, very clearly, as if it really happened. Then came the crash. It was at this time that the picture came to an abrupt halt.

"Yurou? Lina Wang? There was some pain in his heart, and Zuo Zheng, who was asleep, couldn't help but shout these two names.

"Xiao Zuo, what's wrong with you?" A gentle voice came from the side of the bed, and then, a slender palm gently hugged him.

Smelling the unique fragrance coming from the other party, Zuo Zheng opened his eyes, and what was printed in front of him was a beautiful woman who had just woken up, Zhang Xiaolin.

The sunlight penetrated through the crack in the door and entered the room, and the golden sunlight shone on her white skin, emitting white and yellow colors.

"Are you awake?" Zuo Zheng sat up, and the heat in his stomach dissipated a lot.

Then, Zhang Xiaolin also slowly sat up and asked, "Who are Yurou and Wang Lina?" ”

"The man in the dream." Zuo Zheng said.

"Did you have that dream again?" Zhang Xiaolin looked at him deeply.

Zuo Zheng nodded and looked at the iron door, at this time, the sunlight was shining in the room through the crack in the iron door, and the fine light was reflected on the ground, and in the beam, there were fine dust drifting upward.

The temperature of the sun is real, and the breathing of the woman next to him is also real, including the heat in his own belly.

But the dream... It's so real.

Zuo Zheng muttered to himself, unable to distinguish between dream and reality for a while.
