Chapter 13 Stone Mill
What to do? She didn't know! She could only rub back slowly, trying not to make any sound. One step, two steps, three steps, and one step, and you could leave the yard, but you felt a soft thing suddenly appear behind her back and blocking her waist. The accident made her scream, which made those faceless women frightened, and they all turned their heads to look at her.
A group of faceless women stared at her, which made Xiao Xia completely stunned.
But the thing that stopped her was not allowed to be stunned, and she used a very powerful force to throw her onto the stone bench. In a panic, Xiao Xia turned her head and saw a one-armed scarecrow, with one hand raised horizontally, a huge mouth, two stone eyes, a dull and malicious expression, and the other torn arm was thrown to the ground.
He stood blankly next to the courtyard gate, and somehow he appeared, but he happened to stop Xiao Xia. It was the little boy.
Xiao Xia wanted to stand up as if she was burned by fire, but found that she was firmly stuck to the stone bench. She struggled desperately but to no avail, while those women still turned their heads and looked at her curiously.
"Next." A man's voice suddenly appeared.
This shocked Xiaoxia. I don’t know how many strange things are waiting for her! She looked around, but she couldn’t see her face.
A woman stood up obediently when she heard this, slowly walked towards the stone mill, then jumped, and somehow fell on the round hole in the middle of the millstone, immediately hiding it. Finally, the drowning head was pointed at Xiaoxia.
The little donkey walked again with great difficulty, and the sound of creaking stone mills continued, continuing. At this time, Xiao Xia had no way to think, and could only watch all this. Gradually, she suddenly felt that the sound was like a sound of chewing bones and a moan of pain.
She felt creepy, and saw these faceless women mechanically throwing themselves to the stone mill one by one, as if they were automatically walking into the demon's mouth. The sink around the stone mill was slowly filled with thick blood, which made her almost vomit!
"You're the only one left!" The man's voice sounded again.
Xiao Xia sat upright in horror, searching around, and suddenly found that the sound actually came from the little donkey.
"I'm calling you!" said the little donkey again. It put its head into the blood tank and sucked a mouthful of blood. When it raised its face, it turned into the donkey's body, but it had a man's face!
She is fair and slim, with clear eyebrows but bad intentions!
"Come on, no one will come to save you!" He nodded to her, and she immediately felt a powerful suction dragging her towards the millstone. She wanted to grab the stone bench, but the power that had just stuck to her turned into thrust, allowing her to be thrown on the millstone.
From the outside, this was just an ordinary stone mill, but only when I sat on it, I saw that it was a huge deep hole, with countless women's hands floating on it, and all of them gathered to grab Xiao Xia's hands and feet. She wanted to struggle, but suddenly felt powerless and could only be pulled, and was about to be swallowed.
In despair, she finally shouted: "Ruan Zhan, save me!"
"It seems you are not that important to him!" The human-faced donkey sneered.
But before he finished speaking, a person ran out of the black building opposite him.
"The way of heaven is completed, three to five, the sun and the moon are both dark and dark, and they enter the dark, and the qi preaches, and the qi is connected to the spirit, and the qi moves and evil spirits and thieves are all gone!" The person who came said loudly, then pointed casually.
Immediately, a red light formed a wind whirlpool and turned rapidly. The huge centrifugal force threw all the objects out, stone mill, black building, scarecrow, and Xiao Xia.
"Ruan Zhan!" Xiao Xia shouted the man's name, trying to reach out and grab him, but he couldn't get close. Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from him, he woke up suddenly.
She lay on the bed with cold sweat all over, and it seemed even colder in the cold night. Is it a dream? She hesitated for a moment, turned on the bedside lamp. Under the warm yellow light, her wrists and ankles were covered with scratches and bruises, and the abrasions of her palms were also there, and real pain came from her body.
It’s not a dream, isn’t it possible that even the body would be hurt. But why did she return to bed?!
It’s okay that there is no distinction between dreams and reality, but what about Ruan Zhan? Why did he appear but she couldn’t catch it? She thought about this, thinking about the concern he looked at her just now, thinking that she could not touch his hand no matter how hard she tried, and tears came up.
It's a dream after all, right?
The piano sounded.
It was very beautiful, but it seemed particularly abrupt because it was late at night! Xiao Xia, who had not recovered from the shock, jumped up from the bed and was stunned at the phone at the head of the bed.
She forgot to turn off the phone again. Who would call her? Why did she not wake up while sleeping in the warehouse next door? Do you want to call him? She hesitated, but the person who was calling the phone seemed to have to ask her to answer before she could stop, and the piano kept ringing.
She made up her mind, grabbed the phone, looked at the display, and it was a strange number from other places.
"Who is it?" she asked nervously.
"It's me, Ruan Zhan." A calm voice came.
Xiaoxia's tears burst out from her eyes.
He is real in her life! It's not a dream. He appears! Finally!
"Are you crying?" he asked.
"No!" Xiaoxia wiped tears with the back of her hand, "I'm just a little cold."
"Okay, then go back to bed quickly," he said softly.
This made Xiao Xia confused for a moment. He had never treated him so well, and how could he know what she was doing?
"Just just woke up from that nightmare and answered the phone at midnight, you must have jumped out of bed." As if you knew Xiao Xia's thoughts, Ruan Zhan took the initiative to explain, "You will catch a cold, please sit down and listen to me tell you slowly."
Xiao Xia obediently returned to the bed and covered her with a quilt. Listening to his voice, she knew that he was on the other end of the phone, and she felt completely safe and choked and breathed a long sigh.
"You must not understand why you have such a real nightmare, and why I showed up, right?" he said.
"Um."
"This is not a real dream, but someone casts a spell to let your soul leave the body and enter the illusion world he created. So the injuries you suffer in your dream will also be reflected in the physical body in reality. Are you okay?"
"No." Xiao Xia shook her head, "But how did you know that dream still entered it?"
Ruan Zhan hesitated for a moment, "This is a very high-end technique, but because it is very harmful to good deeds, it is a taboo technique. I don't know who you offended again, but this is not a simple person. And the reason why I can get into it is because I am very sensitive to this technique, and I can feel it even if I am thousands of miles away. I just want to save people, but I didn't know it was you at first."
Xiao Xia felt a little disappointed when she heard him say this.
She didn't know that Ruan Zhan left the city to avoid her, but she did it very unsuccessfully. She entered this dream because she had a strong telepathy with her. He also lies to avoid deeper entanglements.
"You live in my place now, right?" Ruan Zhan changed the subject.
"Um."
"It must have been tampered with people there, it's not safe. Is the Blood Wood Sword at your hands?"
"On." Xiao Xia stroked the wooden sword beside the pillow.
"Then you just stay there with the sword and don't move, don't sleep anymore, wait till dawn."
"Okay." Xiaoxia agreed, "Will you come back?"
"meeting."
"when?"
"It will arrive at dinner tomorrow at the latest."
"No lie?"
"No lie!"
"You promise?"
"I promise!"
