A short walk down the path was a flat meadow with a forest in the middle.

When we took a closer look, it turned out to be an apple tree, covered with big apples, and it looked very attractive.

"Walk around, go up the tree to pick apples, pick apples, and eat in the evening"

I happily said as I beckoned them to run over.

When I got closer, sure enough, the apples were all very large, all of them were red and bright.

Especially at the top, there is a golden apple, especially large, when the wind blows, it seems to be looming in the swing of the leaves, as if it is playing hide and seek with me.

I tightened my shoelaces and did a stretching exercise to pick them up, but just then, a voice came from behind me.

"Hmph, you're still going up trees? Blow it, if you can pluck that golden one, I'll treat you to a feast tonight. ”

I turned my head to see that it was Shen Lulu, and I saw that she was looking at me proudly.

Shen Lulu is my colleague, the project leader of another group, and my opponent in my work.

We often argue over the distribution of projects, but I didn't expect her to come out for a walk at this time, and she happened to meet here, which is really a narrow road.

"Cut"

I laughed contemptuously and said to Shen Lulu,

"You may not know, your brother Wang and I, when I was a child, I was the first to climb trees, look at it, you have ordered dinner tonight."

With that, I tightened my shoelaces again, and then stepped on the tree with a sharp step.

I climbed up the tree little by little, aiming at the big golden apple at the top, and I also heard the sound of Shengli and Gao Nan cheering me on below.

"Lao Wang, come on, it's up to you for dinner tonight"

"Just pick the golden one, and go up a little more!"

In a few moments, I had climbed to the top, and the big golden apple was close at hand.

Just as I proudly reached out to pick it, thinking that Lulu's meal was ready today, an accident happened.

Out of nowhere, a big black snake suddenly came out of the tree, with its mouth wide open, its fangs baring, and its long letters, about to bite me in the face.

I screamed, nervous, subconsciously let go of my hand, and fell straight from the tree.

I just felt a wave of dizziness and a lot of pain in my chest.

Like many ants gnawing at their lungs, breathing is becoming more and more difficult.

The surprised eyes and loud shouts of Gao Nan in their ears became more and more blurred, until they completely disappeared, turning into darkness, and I lost consciousness.

I don't know how long it took, I woke up in a daze, relieved my spirit, and wondered,

Didn't I fall from a tree? Where is this? I'm not hurt?

Look around.

I realized I was sitting in the middle of a road.

But the road is very strange, there are no cars, no zebra crossings.

On both sides of the road blooms a very colorful flower, which only blooms but does not see the green leaves.

It wasn't just me on the road, there were a lot of people in cyan robes, their faces were expressionless, and their eyes were glazed over.

I looked up at the sky, and there was no sun, no moon or stars, neither blue nor black night, gray, and I couldn't tell if it was day or night.

I stopped a guy and wanted to ask where this was.

The man stopped, not surprised, nor spoken, but looked at me blankly, looked at each other for a moment, and then began to walk on his own again.

I pinched my thigh, it hurt, it wasn't a dream.

"Hit the evil again?"

I muttered, and suddenly realized that I was actually like them, and the clothes on my body were also dressed in a blue-gray robe, like an ancient person.

I didn't have a choice, and I had a puzzled face, so I could only follow everyone forward, because I thought that I could always meet someone who understood and asked, and standing was not a way.

After walking for about half an hour, I suddenly found a small two-story brick house on the side of the road, and on the rocking chair at the door of the first floor of the house, a man wearing a navy blue shirt, was sleeping leisurely.

Such normal behavior seems out of place here.

I hurriedly ran over and looked at him through my chair.

I saw that this person was about 50 years old, with long eyebrows and a square face, and I called him softly,

"Sir?"

Seeing that there was no response, he pushed him and shouted again

"Hello? Excuse me? ”

The man was woken up by me this time, opened his eyes in a daze, and sat up.

Scratching his back with his left hand, he looked at me and said:

"Boy, what are you doing? Sleeping soundly, what kind of mess? ”

I naturally know what it's like to be called up while I'm asleep.

This one is good-tempered, and when he meets someone who gets up, he can't beat me up.

I hurriedly said with a smiling face:

"I'm sorry to disturb you, uncle,

But I'm so confused, it's a little inexplicable here, asking no one to pay attention to me, and they're all dressed up weirdly, just like you're dressed like a normal person, so I'm presumptuous, may I ask, where is this? ”

"Oh?"

The man listened to my description, stood up, and began to look at me carefully, and then came out with something that was very speechless

"You don't know where this is?"

I'll go, I want to know what else to ask you for? What to sell to this.

I thought in my heart, but on the surface I still laughed with it, and said:

"I'm sorry uncle, I'm new here, I really don't know where this is."

When the man heard me say this, he thought for a moment with a complicated expression, and slowly spat out a few words

"This is the underworld, this road is called Huangquan Road, you have died."

"What? He's dead? ”

I looked puzzled,

Laughed again

"Big brother, don't be kidding, tell me where this is, I still have to go back to Shengli Gao Nan and them, I want to eat apples at night-"

When I said this, I paused, remembered something, and my mind went blank.

Yes, I remember when I was picking apples, I was scared by a snake and fell off, but I don't remember that I stood up, and I had a sharp pain in my chest, but now... I raised my right hand and thumped my chest a few times, but I didn't feel it at all.

Don't.. I looked at the big brother's serious and complicated expression again, not to make fun of me.

"Am I... Really fell to death? ”

I sat on the ground and watched it all in disbelief,

The uncle also noticed that I was different from the others, so he reached out and pulled me up.

Then he pointed to the people on the road and said,

"The reason why they are expressionless is that they are completely dead, and even their bodies have been cremated.

And the reason why you are still conscious is because you are not completely dead, or rather, not completely dead.

Your physical body must be being rescued in the hospital at this moment, but your soul is in such a free state.

So, you've got a chance to live, but—"
