Chapter Twenty-Five: Three Shifts in the Middle of the Night, Alone
Gu Yu'er's mind was not as deep as Zhang Xiyao's, and facing Gu Yu'er with an excited face, Zhang Xiyao didn't know what to say for a while. In the end, he just paraphrased the old saying: "Only when we want to do something, we can not do it, can we be considered truly free." ”
The two of them walked all the way to the west, the wind was blowing slowly, and the sun was warm, which was a rare moment of tranquility on the way. Looking at the sun gradually setting westward, Luan Niao was flying over a vast lake with Gu Yu'er and Zhang Xiyao.
The lake below him was calm and unwavering, and the sun's rays covered the entire surface of the lake, like a whole piece of orange-yellow silk spread between the mountains and rivers.
"It's a beautiful view. ”
"Yu'er likes it here? Why don't we rest here tonight? I see that the lake is vast and the water is pure, so if we spend the night here, then we don't have to worry about what to eat at night." ”
"What are you going to eat tonight? Are you going to catch fish in the lake to eat? Xiyao, I want to eat grilled fish!"
As soon as she heard that there was something to eat, Gu Yu'er immediately came to her senses. The bird under him also circled down and flew towards the shore of the yellow silky lake.
The two of them and a bird landed on the edge of the lake, and when they looked at it from high in the air, they already felt that the lake was very wide, and when they really got close to them, they felt that the blue waves here were vast, and the lake was deep and wide. Between the lakes and mountains, the vision is incomparably broad, and people's mood is also invigorated.
Gu Yu'er stood by the lake and stretched, looking at the beautiful scenery here, thinking that she had finally gotten rid of Fuhu Village, and she was in a good mood. She couldn't help humming a little proudly, and unconsciously kicked the gravel into the lake, causing a circle of ripples on the surface of the lake.
The large and small stones fell into the lake one by one, causing the calm surface of the lake to ripple in circles, and there seemed to be a few strings of small water bubbles between the ripples. However, Gu Yuer didn't think there was anything about it, and she didn't care much about it.
When she had enough of staying alone by the lake, she turned her head and ran towards Zhang Xiyao, who was exploring the environment here.
"Xiyao, don't look at it, I think it's quite safe here, although it is surrounded by mountains, it is far away, even if there are any wild beasts on it, they will not come to us. Let's think about what we're going to eat tonight!"
Gu Yu'er grabbed Zhang Xiyao's arm as she spoke, and pulled him to the lake, she couldn't wait to catch a few big fat fish in the lake and grill them.
Zhang Xiyao did not stay on the shore of the lake for long since he landed, but walked towards the depths of the lakeshore, and the more he walked on the shore, the more strange he felt here.
For some reason, the shore of this small lake is inexplicably covered with many deep and shallow water marks. Not only that, but these water marks are wide and long, as if there were many long channels on this bank, but they all dried up at the same time, leaving only these water marks of different depths, which makes people feel indescribably strange.
Although I felt strange in my heart, seeing that it was getting late, and surrounded by some unknown barren mountains, it seemed that this was the only place to live in the deep mountains where wild beasts were frequent, and it seemed that only this lake shore was safer.
At the very least, the view is wide enough to run for your life if necessary!
Thinking about it, Gu Yu'er had already rushed towards him, her cheerful figure was bright and dazzling, and then she held his arm affectionately, and the delicate face was close in front of him, Zhang Xiyao's mood couldn't help but relax.
As soon as he was happy in his heart, his doubts about this place were diluted a lot, and he was pulled by Gu Yu'er to walk briskly towards the lake, and he no longer had the heart to care about the strange water marks under his feet.
It was a moonlit and starry night, Zhang Xiyao used the dead branches picked up by the Luan bird to fly to the barren mountains in the distance to build a bonfire, and then seriously grilled the fish.
When a few unknown big black fish went down, Gu Yu'er finally stretched her limbs comfortably. The night breeze blowing by the lake was already a little cool, but he was sitting next to Zhang Xiyao with the bonfire roasting, and the fluffy body of the bird behind him was a natural barrier. After eating and drinking, Gu Yu'er only felt warm all over her body, and couldn't help but feel sleepy.
Zhang Xiyao's warm palm reached out to Gu Yu'er, and gently pressed her head, which was already like a chicken pecking rice, on his shoulder. Looking at the little red face that was lit by the firelight, Zhang Xiyao's eyes were full of fine tenderness.
"Sleep, I'll keep vigil. ”
Gu Yu'er was so sleepy that she heard Zhang Xiyao let her sleep first in a trance, so she snorted and fell asleep on his shoulder.
thought that this would be a sweet and stable sleep, but it turned out to be not as Gu Yu'er wished. On and off, she had several chaotic and broken dreams.
It was all one old thing after another, all happening in the world she used to live in. But the time and space were so chaotic that even she couldn't tell the difference between the things in the dream and whether the things in the dream had actually happened, or was it just a dream?
I don't know how long she slept, Gu Yu'er was woken up by the gusts of cold wind by the lake. When she opened her eyes dimly, the things in the dream were still clearly in her mind.
In her dreams, there was a familiar figure always by her side, that familiar figure... Who the hell is it?
obviously felt that it was a person who was unusually close to her, but Gu Yuer couldn't recall it, and only vaguely remembered that she always liked to repeat the word "laugh" to that familiar figure...
What are you laughing at? The dream seemed to be real and illusory, and the familiar feeling directly disturbed Gu Yu'er's headache, so that she woke up in the dark, and she was stunned for a long time before she suddenly found out.
The bonfire in front of him was extinguished at some point, and Gu Yu'er's first reaction was to look to the side. And under this look, she is completely sober!
Zhang Xiyao no!
Nothing is missing, to be exact... Now she was the only one sitting alone on the shore of the lake in the dark night. At this moment, even the bright moon in the sky was suddenly obscured by the thick clouds.
The darkness that crushed everything suddenly surged towards Gu Yu'er, enveloping her with bad intentions. Nervousness spread from the bottom of my heart, surging towards the limbs that were trembling more and more.
In the current environment that was too quiet, Gu Yu'er didn't feel that she lowered her voice, and shouted around in a trembling voice a little dazed: "Xiyao?!"
There seemed to be a few small splashes in the quiet darkness, and Gu Yu'er immediately looked at the lake. In such a strange environment at present, the movement of dropping a needle will cause a person's scalp to tingle.
Although she was very scared, Gu Yu'er still had the courage to cautiously lean towards the lake.
"Xiyao, is that you?"
No one answered her, but the small sound of water gradually grew louder. As Gu Yu'er slowly walked towards the lake, in the sound of the dripping water, she saw two green ghost fires inexplicably burning on the surface of the lake.
The turquoise fire was not large, but it was unusually round. At first, they were just standing still on the surface of the lake, and Gu Yu'er didn't move, and the two points of green light didn't move. For a while, Gu Yu'er seemed to be in a stalemate with these two ghost fires, and such a picture was indescribably weird.
In the end, the gusts of cold lake wind finally blew Gu Yu'er a little unbearable, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back, but she didn't expect that something even weirder would happen next. I saw that the two green fires in the lake followed Gu Yu'er's steps back, and they also advanced a little distance towards the shore.
Gu Yu'er unconsciously shook her wit, and repeatedly told herself in her heart that she must have been dazzled!
Sure enough, those two green ghost fires moved a little closer to each other, and they were slowly getting bigger!
Zhang Xiyao... Where the hell did you die?!Since coming to this other world, Gu Yu'er has never been so scared as she is now. At this moment, to leave her alone to face the supernatural things that she usually fears the most, she will collapse except for collapse.
The unknown ghost fire was slowly approaching, and Gu Yu'er nervously sacrificed the body control technique, and controlled as much of the gravel under her feet as possible. She kept giving herself courage in her heart, regardless of whether he was a demon or a ghost, if she wanted to scare her, she would beat him into a sieve!
And just as Gu Yu'er was staring at the two points of ghost fire in the lake and was on guard, the green light that was slowly coming to the shore suddenly disappeared on the surface of the lake in the dark night without warning.
"What the hell?!"
