Gradually I also became drowsy, but subconsciously I was still highly nervous and awake.

Another hour passed, and it was completely quiet outside the window, not even the sound of insects, and everything was completely silent. When I was about to give up and lie down to sleep, the window suddenly squeaked, and I immediately became alert.

An old lady on crutches came in through the window with a gust of wind, and the moment she landed on the ground, the window closed automatically.

I leaned over the table and narrowed my eyes, carefully watching the old lady's every move.

She walked to the bed, approached the sleeping Kangkang, and stretched her index finger towards Kangkang's nostrils, as if she was figuring out something.

After more than ten seconds, she withdrew her fingers, wandered around the room, and walked to the table. She shook my body, but I remained motionless, pretending to be in a deep sleep, and the fragrance of tea was overflowing. Good tea is indeed her favorite, and the old lady drank a few cups without hesitation.

She paced lightly, walked up to Kangkang again, put down the crutch in her hand, crossed her hands in the air, and chanted some spells in her mouth. In an instant, Kangkang's body became stiff and straight, as if being placed The dead body is generally unnatural.

Except for the expression on his face, Kangkang didn't see any movement or change.

When the old lady first cast the spell, Kangkang's face was still relaxed and natural, but after a while she became tense and sweated profusely.

Kangkang's changes seemed ordinary to the old lady, but she still looked like she was in control of everything.

I watched her every move quietly from the sidelines.

Suddenly Kangkang yelled, but his eyes were still closed. I thought he was having a nightmare. The louder his yelling, the louder I decided to attack.

I knocked the old lady on the back hard from behind and she fainted to the ground. I ran to the bed and tried to wake Kangkang up, but no matter how I shook his body, I couldn't get any response.

Kangkang was still lying on the bed like a corpse, as if he had lost his soul.

I thought it might be because of the old lady casting a spell, so Kangkang never came to life, so he tied up the fainted old lady to prevent her from causing trouble again.

I swirled the tea around the tip of the old lady's nose, and she woke up after a while.

"Who are you? We have no grievances with you in the past, and we have no grievances in the present. Why did you kill the two of us?" I questioned the old lady.

The old lady smiled and said in a low voice: "My dream woman, I don't know grudges and only recognize transactions. If someone meets my conditions, I will do things for others!"

"who is it?"

"How can this tell you? The most basic trading principle is to ensure the confidentiality of information!" Meng Po said.

"Why can't I wake him up?", I pointed to Kangkang and said.

The dreamer laughed loudly, "He has already been cast by my dreamer's spell, and he can't wake up. No one can complete the three dreams of my dreamer!"

"What do you mean?"

"It means that this life is over!" The old lady began to laugh again.

I went up and grabbed the old lady by the neck and said, "You're talking nonsense!"

"Hey, young man, his name is in my hands, why don't you be more polite to me? Do you want to save him?" Meng Po said in a threatening tone.

"You..." Master Wang, I hate other people's intimidation the most in my life.

"I think that boy is handsome. I like Meng Po very much. I didn't want to take his life, but I had no choice but to collect money. Fortunately, this kid is lucky. Meng Po hasn't let him have my third dream yet. You knocked me out after that, otherwise he would definitely die, haha...good luck!"

"Then how do I wake him up?"

The dream woman didn't answer my question, but looked at the ropes that bound her.

Lord Wang, I will immediately untie her.

"If you're being sincere, I'll help you once, Meng Po!"

"Great! Thank you, a great kindness must be repaid!", I knelt on one knee to show my gratitude.

"My dream mother-in-law always keeps her word once she makes a deal with others! I think this silly boy has hit it off with me, so I will make an exception to help you! But my dream mother-in-law does not do business that loses money!"

"I will satisfy you as much as you want, as long as it can save Kangkang!" I said excitedly.

"My dream mother-in-law doesn't want money this time!"

"What do you want?"

"I want your elbow meat!", the dreamer said, pointing to my arm.

"This...", I couldn't help but think of the ferryman in my dream.

"Why are you afraid? Didn't you just say yes to everything!"

"Okay! I'll give it to you, but you have to promise to save Kangkang!"

"Do not worry!"

I took out a fruit plate, raised my left hand above the sky, and slashed at it with a dagger in my right hand. Blood began to flow, and I endured the pain.

Kangkang's yelling became more and more intense. I don't know what kind of torture he was enduring in his dream, but the yelling made my heart ache. I speeded up, and the flesh on my elbows fell off piece by piece.

I was covered in cold sweat, and my body trembled every time I cut it.

"Enough, enough!" said the dream woman.

"Go and save Kangkang!", I fainted to the ground.

The dream woman picked up the crutches, tapped Kangkang's door three times lightly, smiled, took the elbow meat I cut off, turned into flying smoke, and disappeared.

After the dream woman left, Kangkang woke up from the dream. Seeing me lying in a pool of blood, he rushed down without even having time to put on my clothes and shoes.

When I woke up again, I was already lying on the bed. The wound was bandaged but there was still pain. Kangkang looked at me with tears all over his face.

I touched his little face and said with a smile: "Fool, I'm fine!"

Since then, Kangkang and I have been hit by a smoke bomb, worried that the tragedies in the dream will be staged one by one.

When the fake is true, it is true and false, I hope all this is just a dream.

News came from the city that Shanying was looking for a panacea for boys and girls who wanted to become immortals. Several people and children in our camp had been killed.

Every time Shan Lu took the initiative to attack, he was frustrated repeatedly, and gradually lost confidence. He wanted to use his magic power to show his magic and take down our army.

One day, Shan Lu asked Tian Yu about the way to ascend to immortality. Tian Yu bewitched Shan Luruo to collect fifty boys and girls each, take the left eyes of fifty boys and the right eyes of fifty girls to make an elixir, and cast magic clothes on the night of the full moon. Then the eyes of the sky will be opened and the sky will become a fairy.

Immortals tend to be good, using such a vicious technique to dream of becoming immortals?Wouldn't it be a fool's dream!

After Li Zhi heard this, he was in a constant state of anxiety and restless. An Ning's repeated persuasion was useless, and Li Zhi felt ashamed.

Li Zhi summoned Prime Minister Gu, Kang Kang and me to his room early in the morning.

"Today I have called everyone to discuss important matters. I think everyone has heard about the cruel actions of the Shan Lu rebels who want to eat people. The people are in dire straits and urgently need to be rescued. I want to send troops to conquer the Shan camp, rather than end it! ", Li Zhi was indignant.

"Your Majesty the Crown Prince, we can only understand your feelings..." Gu Xiang said.

"But it doesn't matter!" Li Zhi dispelled Prime Minister Gu's concerns.

"A single bandit is brutal and punishable by everyone. Taxes are heavy. The people suffer unspeakably. The hearts of the people have been lost. The people rise up. This situation is beneficial to our army, but it is too hasty for us to decide to go out at this moment. There are not enough soldiers. General Miao Wang The serious injury has not healed, and I am afraid that there will be a shortage of manpower, and I will not be able to do what I want!", Xiang Gu expressed his worries.

"I think Xiang Gu's analysis is right. Now is not a good time for us to go out to fight against Shanlu! At this time, our army is still outnumbered by Shanying, and we still need to accumulate strength!" Kangkang continued.

"But, I can't just sit back and do nothing while watching the people in the midst of misery!" Li Zhi sighed.

"How about this, let's go to the city to find out the truth and save the boys and girls. During this period, we secretly call on the people to unite and resist the single army! Do a good job in mass work!", I said.

"Let's leave it at that for now! Thank you for your hard work, the people of Shang Dynasty need us to work together to save them!"

Kangkang and I reincarnated as an old couple, repeating our old tricks, planning to sneak into the city.

Now there are more non-commissioned officers guarding the city, and the system has become more stringent. Fortunately, I have a hand injury this time, otherwise there is really no way to muddle through.

In just a few months since the last process, the city has become chaotic and the situation is appalling. The number of beggars staying on the streets has increased sharply, and the doors of every house are closed, as if they are hiding from debts.

We walked on the busiest street in the past, trying to find a place to stay. Most of the shops along the street closed down, and only a few here and there were still alive.

When we walked to the street, we finally found a hotel that was open. Unexpectedly, we had just stepped into the door, but we were rejected: "I'm sorry, we are going to close down, and we won't accept them for now!"

"Why?" Kangkang asked.

The shopkeeper said dejectedly, "To tell you the truth, due to the war and the closure of the city, my shop has not received customers for more than two months, and I have been unable to make ends meet. I was going to close the shop a few days ago. Today I am here to pack up the relics. Clean up the room!"

I looked into the store, and it was very deserted and silent. The Storytelling Pavilion and the Tea House, which used to be full of customers, are now covered with dust.

"Then do you have any recommendations for us? We are not very demanding and can just sleep on our feet." Kangkang said.

The shopkeeper looked us up and down, and seemed to see something strange. To avoid suspicion, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "I don't know! You guys leave our place!"

"Don't get me wrong, we are not bad people. To tell you the truth, we are indeed not from the city. My elbow was injured by a sharp weapon. But there is no doctor in the countryside. I can only go to the city to find a doctor who can rejuvenate. It will cause future trouble, and your hand will be disabled!", I said to the shopkeeper while coughing.

"Okay! I think it's not easy for you two elders. How about this, you stay here temporarily, and I will give you a slow, temporary place to stay, but you have to find another place within two days. My lease is coming soon. Here we come!" said the shopkeeper.

"Thank you so much! You accept it!", we gave the store a generous reward.

"It seems that you two don't look like poor people, why did you go straight to the city alone with no one to rely on?" the shopkeeper asked me while guiding me.

"I used to be a cloth merchant, and my family was well-off, but my child died in the war, and now the two of them have no one to depend on..."

"Poor!", the shopkeeper cried out.

"Why are you sad?"

"Helpless, the child was arrested, and I heard that one of his eyes will be gouged out to be used as a primer for medicine!" The store owner thought of his talking child just now and felt extremely miserable.

"It's disgusting! These guys who cannibalize people and eat human bones are not as good as animals!"
