Chapter 2 The Wandering Season Never Returns
In the evening, I was waiting alone at the gate of the city, and the carriage that Chunmian Zi had brought from somewhere stretched out his hand from inside and pulled me up, and then galloped all the way to the suburbs.
I lifted the curtain of the carriage from time to time to look around, the sky was already dark, the shadows of the trees were swaying in the faint moonlight, the carriage was stirring up the fallen leaves on the ground, and the road was filled with a thick smell of rotting leaves, and it seemed that no one had walked on this road for a long time.
Along the way, where the carriage passed, there was a strange movement in the grass. The surroundings have also changed a lot, and many of the trees have become thick and twisted, with no leaves on them, and the branches are full of dark red thorns. No matter how you look at it, there is a chilling feeling.
"There's something strange in this deep mountain and old forest. I muttered in my heart, and I couldn't help but glance at the Chunmianzi in front of me, who was like an old monk, and no matter how big or small the bumps along the way, I didn't see the slightest change in the shape of Chunmianzi. It seems that the clothes have fallen a layer of dust.
"It can't be that you're asleep, right?" It seemed to me that Harumianko couldn't escape the suspicion of pretending to be forced, and just as I was about to wake him up, Harumianko opened his eyes suddenly. In the dark night, it was like two flints being polished, and it was a look of being ready for battle.
At the same time, there was a neighing of a horse outside the car, and the carriage seemed to have been hit by something, and the body suddenly made a squeaking and overwhelming sound after being hit by a strong force.
My heart trembled, and my first instinct was to find something to hold onto, there were no seat belts on the carriage, but there was no place for handrails in the carriage except for the four walls that were shaking violently. I subconsciously touched the futon next to me and found that there was something even worse, the stunt of Harumiko was no longer in the carriage, as if she had disappeared out of thin air.
"Hell!" I was too late to jump out of the window, the window was already deformed, and just when the carriage was about to collapse, there was a loud noise, and it was precisely because of the intervention of this external force that the roof was not completely pressed down but was directly lifted off, and the carriage was torn apart.
The cold wind was so strong that it swept away the sand and rocks, and I struggled to move the wooden planks of the carriage that was pressed on me and crawled out of the rubble, and as soon as I stood up, I was cut through several gaps by the splinters of sawdust flying in the wind. My hands and feet were cut, and I was unable to fall behind me after being cut off my tendons and bones, and the pain spread all over my body.
At this time, I fell to the ground, but I saw a different scene, there was a man and a beast fighting in the sky above my face, the monster beast had dark red flesh wings on its back, its head had threaded silver horns, its cheekbones were thick, and its body was covered with fine armor. A pair of sharp claws sparked blood between the fight with the man in the air.
The battle was shattering, and in the end, all the aftermath was contained in the hands of that man, who had a seed in his hand that emitted a light source, and at the last moment this seed was born to destroy the beast.
It wasn't until the man fell that I saw that he was Chunmianzi.
"This guy almost killed me. As I spoke, my throat was sweet, and blood overflowed from my mouth and flowed unstoppably, diffusing a strong fishy smell mixed with coughed up minced meat. I was right under the previous fight, and I was afraid that a few destructive forces had pierced my lungs. Respiratory endangerment has emerged. Then my eyes rolled and my limbs began to twitch.
I knew I was going to die. I am not unwilling, and dying in this world is a relief for me. I'm just a little confused, and I don't know if I can go back to my original world. Dust to dust, dust to earth, maybe dead and dead make no difference.
There was no heartbeat in my chest, and just as my gaze was about to completely dissipate, Harumiko approached me and fed me the seeds that emitted light in my hand, and then I closed my eyes.
I seem to have had a very brief dream, in which I returned to Earth, reading the boring university I was admitted to "casually", and looking through the text messages back to my parents on my mobile phone, "Mom and Dad, I'm fine, now that I've grown up, I hope to get your consent to travel for a while, and I will remember the time to come back." "I always want to add a sorry sentence at the end.
Far away, maybe you can only love until you are clear. Every time I call home, I don't say I miss you. Fear of worrying, fear of losing.
This time, I replied with a text message in the hope of leaving eternity, and I clicked "Send", and at the same time I sent my phone back. I was relieved to do this. For a variety of reasons, I have to leave the world I am in and have to make decisions for myself.
I don't regret it.
Without the pride of being a parent, and with such an academic degree, nothing is possible in this life. I didn't have any ambitions, but I didn't want to waste my life, I thought about trying again, but I lost to the cruel reality, and I couldn't go back. I began to be full of disappointment with the current world, always wanting to travel through foreign time and space, have an extraordinary experience, and not be willing to be ordinary.
I took out a book from my suitcase called: "Authentic Writings of China". The history of China in the book, so I was born from this. Even if you don't have yourself, you have to find the truth of the "Tao". This time, instead of putting the book back in my suitcase, I put it close to my body.
Because this time I couldn't get to my suitcase on my trip.
A cool chill swept through my limbs, and I sat up from the ground and found myself on the edge of a huge lake, the sun was shining. I first touched my chest, and sure enough, I found a book from the placket of my arms, "Chinese Authentic Works"
"It wasn't a dream just now!" I was surprised and delighted, so I was relieved that the text message I left for my parents had been received. It's amazing, just now I came back to Earth and did what I wanted to do. It took me a long time to calm down.
After reorganizing my thoughts, I had time to look around, and a young man by the lake not far away was standing with his back to me, his slender figure facing the breeze by the lake. Isn't it the shell of the spring sleeper?
"Hey, Harumiko. Hearing me call him, Harumiko turned to look at me with no fluctuation in her eyes. There was not even a word of greeting, so that we could be said to have experienced life and death together. It's not a brother or a friend, and I've died once. I felt unhappy and said, "Why am I always the one who gets hurt?"
"Huh, what about my injuries?" I didn't feel any pain when I woke up, I touched the whole body, and not only was it intact, but all the injuries I had suffered before didn't leave a single scar. Now the flesh and blood all over the body have a feeling of rejuvenation, and the qi and blood are endless.
"It's that you're too weak. "Harumiko has come to me at some point, and I saw him raise his left hand and release a suction, sucking out a seed from my mouth that emitted a light source.
Specifically, the seed emitted a green light, and from this strange seed I sensed the surging vitality, and it seemed that the power of this seed repaired my injured body. This power is close to the flesh and bones of living and living.
But what touched me the most was that there was also a deep black power in the seed, and it was this power that brought me back from the ghost gate.
