Chapter 24: Dreams and Reality
"No, no. Forget the dust and replied.
Chang Jue looked at the bracelet on her wrist with a complicated expression, and stood up from the side of the bed: "Are you so desperate for everyone?"
Forget Chen was stunned for a moment, she turned her head to look at him, the breeze outside the window was slow, and there was a little fragrance of osmanthus flowers. The sun shone in and shrouded Chang Jue's body, illuminating him as if he was coated with a golden halo.
He looked back at her in the light, his face, which had been cold and detached, was stained with a gentle mist, and his bottomless eyes, which were as deep as a pool, became less cold and cold, but showed a blank and soft expression.
She didn't expect him to ask such a question, and she felt a little embarrassed. In fact, she didn't know why she rushed up, her mind was blank at that time, it was just a subconscious behavior. Probably the instinct to protect the master. If it was someone else, she thought that she might not be so desperate, after all, she was very afraid of death.
But she still didn't answer him, just looked at him quietly, and his gaze inexplicably reassured her, just like in a dream. As if as long as she didn't betray, he would never abandon her. This was the first time that Forgotten Dust had seen himself clearly in his eyes, and there was nothing else around.
The ghost made a miracle, and she called out uncontrollably: "Chang Jue." ”
After saying that, she and he were stunned.
Forget Chen's face suddenly rose two flushes. She didn't know what was wrong with her, probably hadn't woken up yet, and her words were out of her control. Thinking of the scene in her dream, she couldn't help but look at Chang Jue nervously. It is said that a dream comes true, although it is a nightmare for her, but it can also come true.
Thinking of this, Wangchen's whole person became vigilant, and she slowly put her hand on the jade pillow. I thought to myself, if he dared to treat her like in his dream, she would knock him to death with a jade pillow.
However, dreams are dreams after all.
Chang Jue just looked at her in a daze for a while, and his expression became solemn again, and he said in a deep voice: "Your courage is getting bigger and bigger." ”
Ha, it's a normal reaction. Forget Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Han Han smiled and changed his words and called back His Highness.
didn't enter the cave of Xingjun, Chang Jue has been restless.
But Wuchen's internal organs have been corroded by the poisonous miasma, and even if Chang Jue helps her expel the poisonous miasma in her body, it is still very weak.
So Chang Jue left Wangchen at the inn and went to Kunwu Mountain by himself. It happened that Lan Lu was patrolling the mountains nearby, and after receiving the news, he rushed to Kunwu Mountain to help clear the miasma.
Forget the dust and send Chang Jue away, go to the proprietress and ask for a big bucket of hot water, rinse her hair and body, and change her clothes. After a day of tossing and turning, she was extremely tired, and before the pain in her body had passed, she fell asleep on the bed.
When I woke up, it was already night, and the whole room was dark, so I sat up and looked around, but Chang Jue hadn't come back yet. She touched her rumbling belly, pulled out a few silver leaves from her baggage, and walked downstairs.
The lights were already lit all over the street, and the long street glowed with red and orange. The streets are bustling with people coming and going, and they are a little more lively than in the daytime.
Forget the dust happily look here and there. The stalls on both sides are very novel, and there are many kinds of sugar people alone, including blowing sugar people, painting sugar people, and pinching sugar people.
The colorful pastries are also strange, made into various shapes, and bathed in a gentle glow under the street lamps. When the wind blows, the sweet smell wafts by one after another, intoxicating.
Needless to say, other stalls, golden soufflé, Hu cake, cherry Biluo, Jiangmi zongzi, wonton...... It's beautifully made, and it tastes appealing.
In every stall, Forget Chen stopped to look at her for a while, and she was dazzled. Every time the vendor asked her if she wanted one, she only said to take a look.
Since experiencing the embarrassment of not bringing silver money, Forget Chen has deeply realized the importance of silver money, she is not willing to waste it casually, in case she spends all the silver leaves, won't Chang Jue be her hairpin again.
Just as she was hesitating about which one to eat, a little girl in ragged clothes suddenly hugged her thighs. Forget the dust was startled, and looked down, there was no fairy energy, it was a mortal child about six or seven years old.
"Sister, save my mother. My mother was so sick that she seemed to be dying. The little girl's face was covered with mud, and tears left a mark on her face.
Forget the dust knows that he can't interfere with the lives of mortals, but he can't bear it. She looked at the silver leaf in her hand, leaned over and pulled the little girl, and stuffed the silver leaf into her hand: "As for me, there are only so many on me, I heard that this silver leaf can be exchanged for a lot of things in your place, and it should be enough for your mother to see a doctor." ”
After that, Forget Dust gathered her clothes and prepared to go back to the inn, since she couldn't eat, then she had better hurry back, so as not to feel itchy. And she had been out long enough, and the night wind in autumn was already a little cold, which made her uncomfortable.
As soon as he took two steps, the corner of his clothes was grabbed again, and he turned back for some reason.
"Sister, you go and see if my mother is okay, I'm afraid. The little girl trembled all over, and the crystal clear tears slowly fell, which made people feel distressed.
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that when I go back, my mother...... My mother is dead. My sister will accompany me to take a look, okay?"
Saying that, the little girl leaned in with Wangchen again, clutching the corners of her clothes, and had no intention of letting go.
Forget the dust sighed, the life of a mortal is like a mayfly, fleeting, birth, old age, sickness and death are commonplace. But they are trapped in seven emotions and six desires, and it is difficult to get rid of the pain brought by each stage.
Wangchen has no family, and she still doesn't know the weight of the word mother, but looking at the little girl's scared appearance, she still patiently asked, "Where is your mother?"
The little girl hurriedly pointed to the back and clenched the corner of Wangchen's clothes: "It's right there, I'll take my sister over." ”
Wangchen looked along the little girl's fingertips, only to see that the place she pointed to was a side alley, and from a distance, there was a black hole.
"In the alley?" Wangchen followed the little girl forward.
The little girl didn't speak again, but pulled the corner of her clothes vigorously and showed her the way.
Walking to the mouth of the alley, forget the dust and look inside, the dark alley is very long, stretching straight ahead, and there seems to be no end in sight. The night wind blew from the alley, and pounced on the body with strength, cold and biting, and the dust that blew couldn't help but shiver.
She sniffed, not noticing that there was a mortal breath in it. Could it be that the little girl's mother is really dead?
A faint sadness spread from the bottom of her heart, and she lowered her head, wanting to comfort the young girl. As soon as she lowered her head, the little girl who was still in front just now suddenly disappeared.
"This ......" Wangchen turned back worriedly, and was about to say to the little girl Don't be afraid-
Someone pushed him behind him, and he stumbled a few steps into the alley and fell to the ground.
In the darkness, the coldness of the bluestone slab stimulated the nerves of Forget Dust. She gasped slightly, and the corroded internal organs hurt as they hit.
Looking back in confusion, under the orange street lamp, the alley was empty, and there were no little girls at all.
Forget the dust was faintly uneasy now, she struggled to support the ground, and was about to get up, when a strong wind hit behind her-
Someone!
Forget Dust reacted extremely quickly, and flashed sideways in the direction of the wind, and was able to dodge this blow.
She had been attacked by Chang Jue before, but this time she was replaced, and her strength and speed were far below Chang Jue, so she was easy to avoid.
It's just that before she finished dodging, she was hit her leg.
Counterpart...... There was more than one.
In the dark, Forget Chen couldn't see the other party clearly at all, she couldn't figure out what the other party's identity was, and why she wanted to harm her such an inconspicuous fairy. If it is said that she steals the Inner Dan Essence Yuan, she is not even qualified for the Earth Immortal, and it stands to reason that she will not be the target of attack.
Due to the other party's attack, Forget Chen could vaguely detect two different demonic qi, and it seemed that there were at least two people who attacked her.
Forget Chen took a deep breath, looked around vigilantly, and said sharply, "Who are you?
No one answered. If they continue to fight like this, she will definitely not be their opponent. Forget the dust weighed it and secretly glanced at the alley. For the sake of today, I can only run, no matter what, try it first.
Thinking of this, Forget Dust stood up suddenly-
"Bang-"
It seemed that the other party was waiting for this moment, and the moment she got up, the other party hit her in the abdomen fiercely, hitting her damaged internal organs.
Forgotten dust was stunned, and the pain was so intense that she nearly suffocated. Cold sweat poured from her forehead, and in the middle of the whirlwind, she gradually lost her balance and fell to the ground.
