Chapter 39: Nightmare's Dream
"Hello sister, my name is Nightmare. ”
The little boy in front of him looked like he was five or six years old, wearing a dark green gown, which seemed to fit poorly, and the length covered his ankles. He had the same bun on his head as an adult, but his palm-sized little face was pink, his hands were muddy, and he was holding the freshly made little clay figure affectionately, like a little adult, and said with a serious face: "Sister, you come with me!"
With that, Nightmare smiled sweetly and turned to walk towards the house.
Li Wanxiao was stunned, and subconsciously raised her heels. Suddenly a flash in my mind, this is obviously a dream made by the little hairy boy, if you obediently follow him, maybe you will fall deeper and deeper in the dream, and if you can't wake up, you will be in trouble!
Thinking about it, she calmly withdrew her feet and said unhurriedly: "You said let me go with you, why do you want to give money?"
The child curled the corners of his mouth, "Is my sister scared?"
"Scared?" Li Wanxiao rolled her eyes and snorted disdainfully, "Although this is your place, it is still in my dream, as long as I want to, I can kick you out!"
As soon as these words came out, Nightmare smiled, "Sister, my name is Nightmare, and people call me Nightmare." ”
"If it's in reality, of course I can't do anything about you, but in my dreams, I'm the king!"
If this kind of words came out of the mouth of a man as arrogant and indifferent as Dugu Che, Li Wanxiao might feel a little majestic, but the person standing in front of him was a cute little hairy child, with two big words "serious" written on his face!
That's a lot of joy!
"Little friend, not everyone can be a king, you are still too young, you will understand when you grow up!" Li Wanxiao put her hands around her chest and said happily.
When Wei heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes, and then sighed helplessly and said, "Sister, I'm a thousand years old, not a child anymore!"
"I've been to other people's dreams before, and in their dreams, I'm a handsome and chic beautiful boy with a jade tree, but when I come to you, I'm only a five-year-old child, and I'm also very depressed. ”
As he spoke, Wei also lifted the hem of his overly long clothes with his dirty little flesh hand, "Look, the clothes don't all fit." ”
Burst~
Li Wanxiao laughed out loud, "I said, how old do you have to be in the Demon Realm to become an adult? You have lived for a thousand years, and you are still so young?"
This is blatant contempt!
The child was not calm, his hands were crossed on his waist, and he was not to be outdone: "We people in the Demon Realm have a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, and it is normal for us to grow slowly, how can you be like you mortals, a lifetime is only a few decades, and the body grows fast and naturally grows old fast, and dies quickly, how can you compare with us?"
"Alas~alas~ Don't be angry, children!" "The wayward child needs to be coaxed, not to mention that no matter how small he is, he is also a little devil, and this is on his turf, and he is still pointing to others to let him go.
Walked over like a big sister and took his little meat hand, "Little Nightmare, you see my sister is passing here, sleep tonight and leave tomorrow, not to mention that there is a big brother next to me, don't you say that he is very powerful? If he finds out that I am here with you, he will definitely be angry, and when the time comes, he may beat you up." ”
"His person is cold, I can't persuade him even if I want to, so you better change that gate back and let me go back!"
The little boy was dragged by her to sit on the steps, playing with the clay figurine in his hand, "Sister, you rely on that big brother so much, and you still sleep in the same room with him, I guess...... Do you like him?"
Li Wanxiao was stunned for a moment, and immediately retorted, "Bah, I just took him in because he was homeless, otherwise do you think Miss Ben is willing to bring a person who eats white rice with her?"
A low smile came, and the little boy chuckled, "Do you know why I like to enter people's dreams?"
"Boring!" Li Wanxiao was not polite to him, and said directly.
"Not really!" the little boy stood up and dusted off his clothes, "People like to put on masks for themselves, even if they hate each other behind their backs, they have to be easy-going on the surface, but in their dreams they can show their truest self unscrupulously." ”
"And I, like the real thing. ”
The little boy smiled mischievously and walked straight into the house. Li Wanxiao didn't keep up, she always felt that the big house behind her had an eerie atmosphere, far less comfortable than staying in this sunny courtyard.
The sun in her dream was warm, and she sat on the steps and closed her eyes unconsciously. Since leaving the village, she has also opened her eyes and seen a lot of demons and monsters, except for the red-clothed female demon who seems to have a holiday with Lingshan, she has also been friends with the charming and hateful tanuki Bai Sasha. Of course, on the way north, there are also bald village owners who are as fierce as the bandits, and Yin Xiaoran, a son who is as indifferent as water, they are all demons, but they have different personalities, some good and some bad. So now when she sees the nightmare child who is already a thousand years old, she feels that there is nothing to be afraid of.
The warm feeling made Li Wanxiao feel comfortable and just wanted to lie on the ground and sleep, but the sky didn't fulfill people's wishes, and it didn't take long for it to rain.
The cold raindrops fell on the face, cutting through the delicate skin, like a tear of despair, cold to the heart.
The heart was inexplicably filled with sadness, and the faint pain was like a slender knife mark, cutting the softest part of the heart into pieces.
Slowly opening his eyes, the cloudy sky was falling with a light rain, looking around, Li Wanxiao was shocked to find that this was no longer the courtyard surrounded by walls, but an empty mountain road. She sat on a big rock by the side of the road, and saw a little girl in a floral dress running in a panic with a dim lantern in her face.
Suddenly, the little girl fell down on the muddy road, and Li Wanxiao subconsciously ran over to help her, "Is the girl okay?"
The outstretched hand did not touch the corner of the little girl's clothes, and just passed straight through her body!
Li Wanxiao was stunned, what's going on? How can this be?
The little girl struggled to get up, and before she could pick up the lantern, she stumbled past her. The moment she raised her head, Li Wanxiao suddenly covered her mouth and almost screamed!
This...... This is?
She actually saw herself in a dream!
This little girl is the one who ran home as if she was running for her life in the mountain village!
She stood up and stared at the changing scene in front of her. Once again, I watched Master close his eyes, and once again saw the dead and dark village, where there was no one!
There is no one anywhere!
The little girl guarded the old man's body in the corner of the room, crying and crying until dawn, and her face was covered with tears.
Is this me?
Li Wanxiao stood there, only to feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her whole body was cold, and even her heartbeat stopped.
She doesn't like the dark and hates black things!
Little by little, the girl will dig a pit and bury the old man. Silently guarding the tombstone, holding a thick book in her arms, there was no expression on her face that was once full of smiles, making people inexplicably believe that this girl would never smile again.
The cold air made her unconsciously hug herself, looking at everything in front of her, she wanted to cry, but found that the tears had been frozen by the cold and could not flow, but it made her eyes hurt uncomfortably.
A thick coat was draped over the shoulders, and a warm feeling came from behind him. The sad scene gradually drifted away in front of her eyes, and a warm palm wrapped her hand.
"That's my past, and that's why I want you by my side. ”
She didn't have to look back to know who the person behind her was. Such a generous palm, a warm embrace, belongs to only one person.
"Dugu Che, am I very selfish?"
