God's Gift

Ye Li, who was resting in the room, soon fell into a dream.

In her dream, she was still in the castle, but the surrounding scenery became taller and bigger, a huge castle, unreachable windows...

Or rather, she became smaller.

Many people in black came and went around her. She sat quietly in the garden outside the castle, watching those people.

A man came over and pulled her to another place.

The scene changes from a castle to a church.

A priest stood in the church with two coffins in front of him, covered with white flowers.

This is a funeral.

Ye Li began to feel dizzy again, with a dull pain in her chest. Although she was clearly asleep, she always felt that there were dangers everywhere, as if something was staring at her.

She raised her head and found an owl perched on the cross above the church, its brown eyes staring at her motionlessly.

Ye Li's stomach cramped and she suddenly realized that she was sweating. She turned around uncontrollably and ran out of the church.

The face of the man in black behind her was constantly pulled up, his expression was distorted and strange, and he called her in a drawn-out voice.

“Come back… come back…”

Ye Li ran out of the church and tried to catch his breath, but he found a group of crows circling above the church in the gray sky.

Hoarse, strange cries filled her ears, and she turned around again and ran in another direction.

Ahead was the swamp that Ye Li was familiar with. Her body was becoming heavier and heavier, and she ran towards the swamp along the path, panting.

The reeds around her were twisting, the road ahead was winding, and the owl from the church followed her out, landed on her head, and kept pecking at her hair.

Ye Li stretched out his hand and kept patting the owl behind him, but he didn't notice that the road ahead ended and turned into a swamp.

Still looking up and swatting at the owl, she reached the end of the path and fell straight down.

Ye Li's body became heavier and heavier, and he was getting farther and farther away from the sky.

The owl snatched away the jewel necklace from her neck.

The swamp gradually swallowed her up and darkness surrounded her.

Ye Li suddenly woke up from his dream, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. Shen Minghua, who was standing by, held Ye Li's hand.

"What's wrong, are you having a nightmare?"

Ye Li took a few breaths and nodded.

"I dreamed of this castle and I turned into a little kid and was at a funeral, but I ran away in the middle of it."

After hearing Ye Li's words, Shen Minghua's expression became serious.

"I ran towards the swamp, and an owl came and kept pecking me, causing me to fall into the swamp..." Ye Li's expression was a little dazed, as the dream was really too weird.

"Ye Li." Shen Minghua called out to Ye Li.

"What?" Ye Li's thoughts were interrupted and she looked up at Shen Minghua.

"The dream you had might be about Andy." Shen Minghua paused for a few seconds and told Ye Li the information he received.

"I just received information from the mainland. According to historical records, there is indeed a person named Andi, but her parents died when she was five years old."

So Ye Li dreamed of himself becoming small and attending a funeral because Andy was only five years old at that time, and the coffin in the church belonged to her parents.

"She also died at the age of ten, accidentally drowning in a swamp." Shen Minghua then told Ye Li the information he had received.

That’s why Ye Li fell into the swamp in his dream.

"You mean, my dream was about Andy's death? Did she really drown accidentally?" Ye Li looked at Shen Minghua and denied the idea.

"No, that dream is too weird." Ye Li shook her head. The scene and time in this dream were changing rapidly, and why was the owl chasing her all the time?

And how could she dream about these things.

But Ye Li didn't have time to think about it, as it was already dark outside.

"Let's leave the castle first." Shen Minghua picked up a piece of clothing and put it on Ye Li, then took her downstairs.

Lu Keming and Yu Youyou were also walking out downstairs. Yu Youyou had been woken up by Lu Keming for a long time and finally recovered her energy. She kept whispering in Lu Keming's ear.

"I also want to eat pork ribs stewed with rice tonight. I need a little more rice. It's not enough..."

“More meat is needed…”

Lu Keming tore off his sleeve that was being pulled by Yu Youyou, and turned his gaze to notice Ye Li coming down from upstairs. His movements paused for a moment, and his eyes became meaningful.

Anthony just sent back the news.

Dream?

Lu Keming raised his lips, turned around and glanced at Yu Youyou who was still pulling him, and said coldly: "Let's go."

After saying that, he raised his foot and walked towards the forest.

When Yu Youyou saw Lu Keming leaving, she quickly followed him, muttering as she walked, "I only had one meal today. I'm starving to death."

Lu Keming glanced at Yu Youyou's increasingly plump face, and his expression froze for a second.

Now the requirements for those who are about to starve to death are so low?

He sneered and ignored Yu Youyou. He walked to the entrance of the forest where a group of people sat down.

Yu Youyou put down the big bag on her back and kept chattering, "I'm starving to death. If I starve to death, you won't have any teammates. Without teammates, you won't be able to complete your mission."

Yu Youyou touched her deflated stomach and signaled to Lu Keming that she was indeed very hungry.

"You're carrying such a big bag, do you really have nothing to eat?" Lu Keming was tired of the noise. He frowned and looked at the backpack next to Yu Youyou.

Hearing this, Yu Youyou immediately stopped talking, looked away, and glanced around guiltily.

Lu Keming looked into Yu Youyou's eyes. Although Yu Youyou was facing him, her eyes looked from left to right and from right to left. She did not dare to look Lu Keming directly in the eye.

Lu Keming: ...

His guilty conscience was a little too obvious.

He stretched out his hand towards the backpack next to Yu Youyou and grabbed the bag.

Now Yu Youyou's gaze instantly became straight, and her eyes stopped wandering. She stared at the bag in Lu Keming's hand with wide eyes, and reached out hurriedly to grab her bag.

"You can't take my things without my consent!"

But Lu Keming didn't listen to her. He pulled the zipper with his fingers, easily blocked Yu Youyou's hand, and opened her bag.

In front of Yu Youyou, Lu Keming took out a bunch of snacks from her bag, then reached deeper and stuffed a handful of egg shells underneath.

Lu Keming frowned, then reached down and took out a few more rice balls.

As he explored deeper, a bunch of strange things were taken out.

A half-eaten apple, some dried fish, and a handful of grass...

Finally, Lu Keming took out a handful of wrapped bones.

Lu Keming identified it carefully and confirmed that it was the bones left after Yu Youyou finished eating the roasted bird yesterday.

It looks like he is planning to have two meals.

Lu Keming raised his eyes, looked at Yu Youyou, and signaled her with his eyes.

Is this what you meant by being hungry for a long time and starving to death?

Yu Youyou was like a child who was caught hiding a secret stash of cash. Her face quickly turned red. She smiled shyly and reached out to take the bag from Lu Keming's hand.

"A little bit, a little bit hungry..."

Lu Keming stopped Yu Youyou and threw those things aside.

Yu Youyou looked at the things thrown on the ground, her face fell, and she said unhappily: "You can't throw them!"

"Why don't I throw it away so you can keep it and eat it?" Lu Keming's voice was cold, and he didn't listen to Yu Youyou at all.

If she eats these things, something bad will happen sooner or later.
