One hundred and ten miles outside the capital city of Beilie Kingdom, April day.

Clouds of gray mist hovered over the swamp all day long. Everywhere you can see dead branches and broken trees, stuck in the black mire.

Huge animal skeletons and rotting corpses were soaked in strange colors and emitted a foul stench.

Yun Qing staggered up from the mud, with a brown-black fang stuck in his calf, and his heart hurt.

The color of the clothes has been blurred, sweat and mud are pasted on the face, and only a delicate silhouette can be seen.

In his hand, he held a broken knife that was a foot long, and from time to time he cut at the forks in front of him.

Just three days ago, General Du's son, Du Tiantian, risked his life to bring news that Beilie would start a war with Dacheng, so that Yunqing would find an opportunity to escape quickly.

That night, as the proton sent by Da Chengguo to Beilie, Yunqing took the maid to avoid the guards and embarked on an escape journey.

Two days ago, Yun Qing injured his back in order to stop the two killers. When he got back to where he was, his eyes were gone.

After that, Yunqing fled alone for two days, scarred!

"Cao Fuyin, the dog day, sent people to chase and kill for three days, and he didn't die!" Yun Qing spat out a mouthful of stinky muddy water and muttered.

At this time, Yun Qing's body's patience had reached its limit, and the wound on his back began to itch, and he knew that in another day, the wound would rot, just like the corpse of an animal in this swamp.

He was in a trance, and just as he wanted to stop and rest for a while, a flock of black frightened birds flew from the woods behind him, flying to the depths of the swamp with a screech.

"These maggots with bones!"

A black shadow appeared at the edge of the woods behind him, looked at it for a while, and slowly walked in the direction of Yunqing, he must have found something.

Yun Qing tensed his muscles and lay motionless in the pitch-black mud, hiding an old tree trunk at his side.

Gradually, the footsteps approached, he held his breath, and when the black shadow stepped over the trunk of the tree, he suddenly stood up and slashed out, the light of the knife was not gorgeous, but it was extremely fast, and it disappeared in a flash!

This knife used up all the strength of the whole body, and this is the only blow! The next moment, he was like a broken sack, merging with the rancid black mud.

---------------

"Am I dead? No, I'm still breathing! Yun Qing muttered, his nostrils smelling a familiar smell, it was the musty smell of the quilt.

Finally woke up! This nightmare, like a series, lasted for months, and once you fell asleep, it would be exactly what had happened before.

Sometimes he was sleepy for no reason, which also made Yun Qing extremely hot, but he had no way at all.

He opened his eyes, in the dim basement apartment, a slender figure was boiling water on the induction cooker, and when he heard the voice, he turned around and said with a smile: "You want to die so much, you lie down first, wait for the water to boil and drink the medicine." ”

"Li Ling, when did you come? Medicine? What medicine? I haven't taken any medicine for a week. Yun Qing suppressed the fear in the dream, quietly breathed a sigh of relief in the bed, sat up and said.

"Huh~~~~" The steam on the lid of the kettle rushed out with a screaming sound, like the chirping of frightened birds in the woods, and Yun Qing couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"When the water is boiling, you lie down first, and then you get up when the water is dry." Li Ling said while picking up a rag and putting it on the handle of the kettle.

Yun Qing shrank into the quilt, a trace of warmth rippled in his heart, he and Li Ling are classmates, studying at a university in Chengwu City, Li Ling, who has a better family background after graduation, chose to study in graduate school, Yun Qing remembered his parents who were hard, and chose to work part-time, it is difficult to find a job, but every time he sees people in the city hurrying by, Yun Qing rushes to the next recruitment point.

"Drink the medicine." Li Ling walked to the bed with a stainless steel water cup, tasted it and put it on the bedside table, took the bag and took out a plastic bag of medicine.

"I bought the medicine according to the doctor's prescription at Chengxi Hospital last time, I know you have no money, and you are holding on so strongly?" Li Ling said angrily.

Yun Qing's face turned red, and his fair complexion looked a lot healthier: "I'm a big man, I have hands and feet, as for it?" The voice was noticeably less confident.

Li Ling touched Yun Qing's forehead and said worriedly: "The doctor said that the cause has not been found out yet, and only said that he will take medicine first and then observe, but you are losing so much weight day by day, and it is dark when you sleep, what can I do?" ”

Yun Qing took her weak and boneless little hand, patted it lightly and said, "Don't worry, it will be fine." ”

Li Ling suddenly remembered something again, and said, "Haven't told your uncle and aunt yet?" ”

There are more than 100 families in that remote mountain village, and his parents borrowed all over the village for him to go to college, thinking of their wrinkled faces, Yun Qing's nose was sour, and he took a deep breath and said, "No, let's talk about it when I get better." ”

"Well, yes, they're going to be worried when they see you like that."

"You're going to a party today?" A lilac tights outlined Li Ling's excellent figure, and with a light makeup on his face, Yun Qing's heart was hot, and he was worried.

Li Ling smiled unnaturally, took out his hand and prepared the medicine for Yun Qing to drink, and then said, "How can there be, oh yes, is Cao Xiaocao here today?" ”

"Fat Cao got off work until nine o'clock in the evening, and it was almost ten o'clock to catch the subway, he brought me food, you don't have to worry."

"Well, that's good, this is five hundred yuan, you take it first, and I'll come to see you in a few days, it's been a lot of study lately." Li Ling stuffed five hundred yuan under Yun Qing's pillow and said softly.

Yun Qing had mixed feelings in his heart, and a certain powerless anger mixed with his love for Li Ling made him speechless for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Li Ling's soft lips kissed Yun Qing's forehead, stood up and packed up the pink backpack and asked.

"No, not much. Stay safe! Yun Qing didn't know what to say, so he could only tell Li Ling.

After Li Ling left, Yun cleaned his face and put on the cheap jacket he bought online and walked out of the basement, and in the morning he was rejected again, and returned to the basement to sleep all afternoon, it was time to go out for a walk.

"Shh~~~~" Yun Qing stood on the side of the street and watched the vehicles speeding by, smelling the gloomy smell in the air, and sighed, the sky in the distance was full of piles of stone-like clouds reflected by the neon in the center of the city, but it didn't belong to him, in front of him, the suburbs were the place where he should stay.

"Seeing that it is about to rain, Li Ling doesn't seem to have an umbrella with him." Yunqing took out his mobile phone and dialed Li Ling's number.

"The phone you dialed is on a call, please call again later!" A generic female voice without a hint of emotion came from the phone.

Dialing again, it's still the same, Yunqing shook his head and sent WeChat. A wave of tiredness hit, and he hurriedly walked back, after all, what is it to sleep on the side of the road, Yunqing prayed to God while trotting, but don't have that dream again.

-----------------

"What Li Ling! Get up for Lao Tzu. A break woke up Yun Qing lying in the sludge. The voice sounded like it sounded in my head.

Smelling the rancid smell, Yun Qing knew that this broken dream that made him sick was back.

Yun Qing was furious: "Who, come out for Lao Tzu?" He subconsciously opened his eyes, there was a corpse of a man in black lying beside him, the blood in his neck was still bubbling, and there was no one else, could it be that there was a ghost in his dream? Yun Qing couldn't help but stand on end.

Be quiet! Dozens of breaths passed, except for Yun Qing listening to his heartbeat to prove that he was still alive, there was no life around, let alone people, not even a bird.

"I'm in your boots, you idiot, I'm the sword." A hoarse voice said abruptly.

"You're cheap, I'm dying, how can I get up?" Yun Qing thought of the wooden sword in his boots and pulled it out, this sword seemed to have been with him all along, exactly the same as the one hanging on the earthen wall in his hometown in reality, and even the sword body was like an electric pattern that had been struck by lightning.

"You take out the pill inside with your soul thought, remember, it's the snow-white one the size of a broad bean." Jian didn't seem to hear Yun Qing scolding it, and said hurriedly.

"What is a soul thought?"

"Alas~~ It's your mind!" The sword was speechless.

Yun Qing calmed down, his mind went deep into the wooden sword, and he faintly saw an iron-gray funnel-shaped vortex in a gray smoke, as his thoughts got closer and closer, the vortex became more and more huge, and gradually he could only see a sloping slope, and his thoughts stopped at the edge of the slope.

Immediately after, a red creature that looked like a jellyfish suddenly floated to the side of the thought, and many bottles and cans and books were placed above the head.

"See?" The sound of the sword sounded in his mind.

A white vial that glowed with light caught his attention, and a white ball flew out and squeezed it in Yun Qing's hand.

"Eat it," the hoarse voice commanded.
