He Xuanya talked about her dreams, and I don't think this is a dream that a girl should have. This kind of experience that sounds creepy, although it is a dream, but for a weak girl, how devastating and tormenting.

My heart aches in a pity for her.

He Xuanya continued: "When I felt my body explode, countless tiny particles burst out from my body, these particles were like smoke, water, sand, and an invisible aura. These tiny particles form a powerful shock wave that violently diverges around. In an instant, the whole mountain made a sound of the sky crumbling, and then the rocks and dust covered the exit of the cave, and my eyes were pitch black. ”

He Xuanya straightened the few strands of hair that had been blown away by the wind on her face, and the look of fear on her face slowly subsided a little.

"At this time," he continued, "I found that I could move my hands and feet, and that I could control them myself.

"I tried to move every part of my body, and I breathed a long sigh of relief that my body was finally my own again.

"I went to the entrance of the cave and pushed a big rock that was blocking the entrance of the cave, and the stone rolled outward, and a hole appeared where the stone was blocked. The light shone into the cave through that opening, and even though it was only a dim light, it made me feel the happiness of being alive.

"The scene that followed was exactly the same as the one you found me in the mountains yesterday evening. ”

"After I tried to climb out of the hole, I saw you, and I saw Zhiyong. That's when I heard the rooster croaking. Your face slowly and slowly fades into the blinding light.

"The dream awoke at this time. The sun outside the window had just climbed out of the mountain, and the sunlight shone through the irregular small holes in the window grille, shining on the round mirror on the bedboard, and reflecting on my face, dazzling and warm.

"Seeing the sunshine, I knew I was really awake. ”

"Is there still a fake awakening?" I said half-jokingly, as I felt better as I saw her slowly return to her normal mood.

"As I fell from the darkness and the void, and everything familiar appeared before my eyes, I thought I had woken up and the dream was over. But when I actually woke up, I realized that the experience after that was still in a dream. ”

"Dreams and reality are completely different, can't you tell the difference?" I asked curiously.

"I told you in the morning that the dream I had last night was different, real, just like reality. If it weren't for the blinding sunlight and your face slowly disappearing into the light, I would have confused this dream with the memory of reality. He Xuanya said seriously.

I always felt that the part of her falling from the darkness and the void was like describing the real experience of waking up early yesterday morning, although there were some absurd and strange things that I couldn't believe it.

To test my thoughts, I asked, "Did you wake up yesterday morning through the same process as this dream?"

"Wake up?" she said in astonishment, "I didn't wake up until a minute before you saw me at the mouth of the cave yesterday evening, after I fell asleep from the hospital. I don't remember anything about the past. Everyone said that I woke up in the morning, then went out and disappeared, and looked for me for a day. I really wasn't impressed. I'm also confused about this. ”

After listening to this, I suddenly felt that the ideas I had just straightened out were like a mess again, tangled together, and I couldn't get rid of them. I can't understand these things even if I break my head.

The noon sun slowly sank into Xiaoxi Mountain, and the wind by the stream gradually cooled.

He Xuanya crossed her hands and rubbed her shoulders on both sides and said, "It's a little cold, let's go." ”

When we climbed up the west slope and crossed the mountain pass on the south side of the west slope, we saw the crops of the people in Shanyangli in front of us.

As I walked down the hill, I passed by the ridge road leading to my shack, and I said, "You are hungry, I will take you to my shack to eat something." ”

"I'm going back, or grandma will be in a hurry. He Xuanya said and turned back and waved at me, and went down the mountain road.

Under the kerosene lamp, Daddy smoked a dry cigarette.

I sat by the brazier, tidying up the charcoal fire with tongs, and thinking about last night's story.

"Daddy, didn't you say you didn't want my brother to hear your story, why did he tell you the same last night?" I suddenly remembered last Saturday because my brother didn't go up the mountain.

"I just said I didn't want him to get involved in unnecessary disputes, and I didn't say I wouldn't let him tell my story. Daddy looked at me and smiled.

I didn't seem to understand, but I wasn't too embarrassed to continue asking.

"That night," began the old father's story, "I looked at the wounded and fallen asleep, and my heart could not be at peace for a long time, and everything that happened that day seemed to me like a dream experience, and it did not make sense.

"I sat quietly in the corner, not sleepy at all. It was as if my head had been stuffed with a ball of hemp rope, and my head ached for a while.

"After a long time, I heard the second watch outside, and I slowly fell asleep.

"I dreamed that I was on a construction site, and there were many shirtless laborers, busy with their bodies, some shoveling soil, some tying partitions, and some carrying stone pestles to ram the walls.

"I walked over and they continued to work as if they didn't see me.

"I went up to an old man who was nailing planks to the pillars and asked, 'Old man, for whom is this building?' and the old man did not answer me as if he had not heard.

I walked on, and when I turned a corner that was just two feet high, I saw that the wall next to it stretched into the distance, and the farther it went, the higher the wall. At the top of the wall, there was a tall building, which was only half built, but it was clearly a castle tower.

"I seem to understand a little bit, it's building a city.

"I secretly thought in my heart: 'Now that we have arrived in the Republic of China, why are we still building cities?' ’

"I accidentally looked back, and a stone's throw away from the ramming wall, there was a large tent like a military camp, and there were several overseers-like people standing beside it, all wearing the clothes of the ancients. Look at the laborers again, one by one they all pulled up their hair, some with bamboo hairpins on the top of their heads, and some with old square cloths. It doesn't look like a person from the Republic of China era either.

"I went up to a middle-aged laborer shoveling dirt and asked, 'Big brother, what time is it now?' and the middle-aged laborer didn't answer me as if he hadn't heard.

At this moment, a man in an official uniform walked over with a cloth bag in his hand. He took out the things from his bag one by one, handed them out to each laborer, walked up to me, and stuffed them into me. When I took it in my hand, it was five or six copper coins with square holes. I think that's a day's wages for laborers.

"I took a copper coin and looked at it carefully, and found that there were four words on it: Hongwu Tongbao.

"I don't think I'm working, so how can I take other people's money. I was about to catch up and return the money to the man in the official uniform, when I heard an "Ah!", and the old man who had just nailed the plank fell to the ground.

The crowd gathered around me, and I ran over.

"Before I could get to the crowd, someone shouted, 'Dead, dead. ’

"Someone else said, 'Bury it.'" ’

The old man's body was lifted and thrown between the two planks that had been tied, and then someone covered it with earth.

"When the earth was two or three feet thick, a group of men with round-headed stone pestles began to hammer the earth on it. There are people filling in the earth on the side of the mallet.

In a few moments, a thick wall several feet high was rammed between the wooden planks, and the old man's body became part of the wall.

"I was blown away by the fact that a person can be disposed of with so easily when they die, like treating an ant.

"All of a sudden, the laborers and overseers around me disappeared.

"I saw that the half-cut walls, which were uneven in height, began to grow on their own, and the towers in the distance, which did not have sealed roofs, slowly grew into beams and bricks, and finally healed.

"In a moment I saw a magnificent city in perfect condition.

"The color of the city slowly changed from blue-gray to pink-gray and then to gray.

"The gray walls and towers gradually became loose, and finally became a city of white bones. ”
