Chapter 5: Visions
The "white flower" saw the dagger stabbing over, and the petals quickly closed and tightened in the middle, but Long Yun stabbed too suddenly, and the petals were too late to protect the weakness. The dagger hit the black hole on the "white flower" impartially and plunged deep into it.
I saw that the "white flower" was stabbed and first trembled, and then the whole burst open, and at the same time spewed out a foul-smelling yellow smoke. Long Yun was caught off guard, the yellow smoke was inhaled into his body, and he suddenly felt nauseous and uncomfortable, it was a smell of rotting corpses.
Not far away, the beast began to scream and retract its tongue, flailing its tongue in the air like a frenzy, and the tongue slapped on the ground and crackled.
Long Yun couldn't care so much anymore, so he had to leave like this quickly. But he hadn't taken a few steps before he felt as if the world was spinning, and everything he saw was twisting.
He thought to himself that it must be the yellow smoke just now, which not only stinks, but also poisonous. Long Yun knew in his heart that he must not just lie here, if he lay down here and was not poisoned, he would definitely be found and eaten by other strange beasts. He struggled to shuffle his heavy steps, and staggered forward.
Soon after, Long Yun's poisoning became more and more serious, his consciousness was already confused, in his eyes it seemed that the world was turned upside down, he couldn't distinguish between heaven and earth, the trees around him became more and more distorted, and they all grew into human shapes, they showed their fangs and huge mouths, stretched out their hand-like branches to grab Long Yun, one by one as if they were fighting for food, and the ground also stretched out white bones and hands to hold his feet for no reason, so that he could not move forward.
Slowly, Long Yun's whole body was unable to move, and his heartbeat became more and more violent, and he knew that everything he saw was just a hallucination caused by the poison. But at this moment, he can't get out of this situation, his eyes don't know where to look, his feet don't know where to go, his heart doesn't know where to point, what he wants most at the moment is to lie down and be at his mercy.
Is this really the end of it? The departure of his parents made him a child with too many things, and for a moment Long Yun really felt tired, and he wanted to die.
But then he thought of his elderly grandmother, his blind sister, and the scene of waiting for his mother in the rain, and he thought that if he couldn't go back, his grandmother and sister would wait for him like that, and he could deeply feel the heartache, and he didn't want his relatives to taste it again.
"Can't die here!"
This is Long Yun's only thought now. He continued to lift his feet again with difficulty, and began to walk, but he was actually spinning in place, and he couldn't tell the direction at all.
At this moment, his eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, his vision is becoming more and more blurred, and his hallucinations are becoming more and more real. He saw his father, covered in blood, wielding a sword to save him, but the strange tree pierced his body with a branch, he saw his mother, who was drenched and holding his legs, and refused to let him go, he saw his grandmother being gnawed by two strange beasts, and she was still desperately begging for help, and he saw his sister's eyes turn into the shape of a "white flower" and stretched out to him......
Later, he also saw a figure in the distance, and the figure stood there quietly dressed in white, unable to see who it was.
Long Yun closed his eyes hard, shook his head vigorously, and when he opened his eyes again, the white shadow had not disappeared, and was still there motionless. Long Yun suddenly forgot about the illusion around him, he walked towards the white shadow with difficulty, trying to see the appearance of the face clearly, but every time he took a step forward, the white shadow also seemed to be one step away, always maintaining a certain distance, how could he not see the face clearly. Long Yun kept walking towards the white shadow, slowly ...... Slowly, his vision blurred completely......
"Brother, are you awake?" When Long Yun opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the bed at home. Long Yao was looking at him in front of the bed.
"Why am I here?" asked Long Yao as he patted his still very painful brain.
"You came back yesterday by yourself, oh, but you fainted as soon as you entered. Long Yao replied.
"I came back by myself?" Long Yun shook his head suspiciously and asked, "Where is grandma?" ”
"Grandma is sharpening her knife outside, saying that she will kill a chicken to make up for you. Long Yao replied.
Long Yun fell into deep thought, puzzled, why did he return home?
"Oh, brother, you must be thirsty, I'll pour you a glass of water. Long Yao said, went to the outhouse, poured a cup of hot water, and handed it to Long Yun.
Long Yun took the water and felt that something was wrong, and his eyes were staring at Long Yao.
"Brother, what are you looking at me like this?"
"Your eyes, can your eyes see?" asked Long Yun with a trembling voice.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, brother. My eyes are better, I can see everything now, and yesterday it was suddenly better, and I don't know why. Long Yao said with a particularly happy smile on her face.
"Really, all of a sudden?" Long Yun couldn't believe that he and his mother had risked their lives for so many years to find Ziyu Cicada Wei just to heal his sister's eyes, and now he was suddenly healed? Long Yun was a little shocked, a little happy, and a little sad at the moment.
"Yes, it's better to be yourself for no reason. Don't believe it!" Long Yao said as she opened her big beautiful eyes wide, and slowly approached Long Yun, getting closer and closer.
Long Yun stared at those eyes carefully, they were indeed much clearer than Long Yao's cloudy eyes before, and the black pupils were particularly deep, like a bottomless black hole.
But slowly, Long Yun realized that something was wrong, the eyeball seemed to be wriggling on its own, changing shape little by little, and finally formed a "white flower", which poked out of its eye socket.
This...... Isn't that the eye of the beast?
"Ah...... Long Yao, you ......" Long Yun looked at his sister in front of him and exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" the door was pushed open, and Grandma came in from the outside to see what was going on.
She was holding the sharpened kitchen knife in her hand, and the knife was actually covered with blood, while the one she was holding in the other hand, if you looked closely, it turned out to be ...... Own head.
Long Yun was stunned by this situation, and was so frightened that he rolled over and rolled out of bed, breaking out in a cold sweat, and when he opened his eyes again, he realized that it was just a dream.
Long Yun sighed softly, his body was still very sore, he lay on the ground and slowly turned his neck, observing the situation around him.
This turned out to be a cave!
This cave is not big, about one zhang square, looking up, there is a hole with a large well on the top, the hole is covered with grass and trees, only a little sunlight penetrates in, this hole is about three zhang high from the ground. There are the bones of several animals on the ground, presumably accidentally dropped from the hole before.
Long Yun rubbed his eyes, he carefully recalled what happened before, he remembered that he was injured by the poison of the strange beast, wandering around the forest in a trance, and all kinds of illusions appeared, and the latter ones couldn't remember, presumably he walked around unconsciously later, and finally fell into this hole.
Long Yun stood up and looked at the entrance of the cave above his head, and sighed in his heart: Hey, this is also a blessing, fortunately it fell into the hole, if it fell outside, I am afraid that it has become the mouth of a certain strange beast, and the belly is a meal.
