Strange Tale

"Let him go?" Dudu Wan put down his tea and picked up a slender tobacco rod, "Since he has the guts to come to my place alone, he should go out on his own."

Long Jiu bit his lips and hesitated, "Grandma...can't let him die."

Dudu lit a cigarette and took a puff, "Why?"

"He is the mage who saved me."

"I spared his life the first time he followed you in."

"But……"

"what?"

"After all, he is not an ordinary person, and he may have seen what is locked in the dungeon. What if he goes to the Hall of Yama after his death..."

"That's easy." Dudu spit out a big mouthful of choking white smoke, "Either I take his living soul now, or wait until he dies and lock his soul in too. You choose one."

Sweat dripped from Long Jiu's forehead, "Grandma...I want him to live."

"Then you give me a reason why he must be kept alive."

"he……"

Standing behind Long Jiu who has been silent for a long time, he often suddenly took a step forward, "Even if he is not Yi's reincarnation, he should be someone related to it, otherwise it is impossible to pull out the dagger made of magic arrow iron for no reason. Mom, let him come back to life first."

Dudu Gully's face finally changed, she frowned and looked at Long Jiu, "You think so too?"

Long Jiu bit his lip and nodded.He really thought so, but he didn't want Dudu Wan to know this idea.But looking at Si Ren's face, there should not be much time.Now there is no other way but to admit him.

Duduwan took another two puffs of cigarettes, reached out to open the drawer of the cabinet next to him, took out a moxibustion-like thing from it, and handed it to Long Jiu, "Meditate first, then put this light on the human body and take a deep breath. Whether you can wake him up depends on your ability and his good fortune. But remember, if you are also trapped, I will only rescue you at the last moment."

"Mr. Si? Mr. Si?! Si Ren! Si Ren..."

Si Ren opened his eyes, and there was darkness in front of him.

"Si Ren..."

A voice kept shouting, Si Ren looked in the direction from which the voice came from, and gradually saw the figure again when the light came on.

The figure approached step by step and reached out to him, "Follow me."

The voice was very gentle, but Si Ren couldn't see the man's face clearly, he was a little scared, "Who are you?"

"Dragon Nine."

"Long Jiu?" Si Ren thought the name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"Well, don't you remember? So fast..." In fact, Long Jiu couldn't see Si Ren clearly in the dim light, but felt that his voice seemed a little childish, "Come with me, come, grab my hand hand."

Si Ren thought for a moment, "Why should I go with you? This is my home."

"This is not your home, it's your nightmare."

"Nightmare? I'm obviously staying at home well, how could it be a nightmare?"

"Because... I don't have time to explain to you, anyway, you come with me. Otherwise, you really won't be able to wake up again, and you will die in a dream!"

"you're lying!"

"No! Really. Think about it carefully, Long Jiu, I am Long Jiu! And Yechang, Yancheng, Bujiguan, don't you remember? Sometimes I have red hair..."

"Wait!" Si Ren walked towards Long Jiu step by step carefully, and he was about to see his face clearly, "Red...Red...By the way, are you a monster? What is this place? ?”

"Yes! I am..."

"Master! Third Young Master! Wake up!"

Si Ren suddenly woke up and sat up.Beside the bed stood Xiaozhu, grabbing him and pushing him hard.

"Xiaozhu, I had a dream! I dreamed that someone told me...Xiaozhu? Why...how did you grow up all of a sudden?" Si Ren suddenly found that Xiaozhu in front of him had become seventeen or eighteen years old. .

At this time, there was a scream not far away, and Si Ren turned his head to look out the window.

With a pale face and tears falling down, Xiao Zhu tightly grasped Si Ren's hand, "Third Young Master, it's not good..."

Si Ren didn't care to think about why Xiaozhu grew up a lot after he woke up.

"What's the matter?"

"Over there...over there...a monster came out of nowhere, and it eats anyone it sees..."

"What? What did you say?!" Si Ren hurriedly put on his shoes, "What monster?!"

"I... I don't know, it's so big... in the fog... I can't see clearly..." Xiaozhu kept wiping her tears and was incoherent.

Si Ren stood up and ran out the door. When he passed the closet, he suddenly felt something was wrong and backed away. Then he touched his face and was dumbfounded: he also grew up, from a boy to a man overnight. up lad.The person in the mirror is tall and handsome, but the chubby boy is gone!In the end what happened……

"Ah—"

A few more screams came from another yard, and then the mountain shook with a splintering sound.Si Ren didn't have time to study what happened to him, so he ran out.

Rushing into the courtyard, Si Yan heard the sound of shaking and screams obviously approaching his direction, he picked up the shovel and was about to go outside the courtyard to see what happened, when there was a bang, followed by a thick puff of smoke. Come, the courtyard gate in front of him collapsed along with the courtyard wall.

The smoke dissipated, and a huge monster that looked like a wild boar appeared in front of Si Ren.

Clang——The shovel in Si Ren's hand fell to the ground, and the monster opened its mouth and several people with limbs fell out of its mouth.

"Father... Eldest Brother, Second Brother..." Si Yan murmured looking at the pile of bodies twisted into strange shapes on the ground, he was already frightened.

Master Si, Si Liu and several other servants were all motionless, only Si Quan was still breathing, he raised a hand to reach Si Ren, his mouth opened and closed to speak but couldn't speak.

"Aw-"

The monster raised its head to the sky and screamed, then lowered its head and bit Si Quan's lower body into its mouth.Then Si Ren watched helplessly as his brother's upper body threw a bright red arc and then fell from the air. Apart from blood and intestines, there were some things that made up the arc that people couldn't tell the color of.The eyes on that half of the body seemed to be still looking at Si Ren when it fell.

The monster chewed Si Quan's lower body a few times and yelled at Si Ren again, a stench came over his face, Si Ren couldn't shout or cry, first his stomach stirred and then he vomited .He understands why he doesn't eat meat anymore.

Lie on the ground and vomited for a while, Si Ren grabbed the shovel and stood up again, "Where did you come from the monster?! I will kill you!"

The monster was about to eat other people, but it stopped when Si Ren said, "Where did I come from? Hahahaha!"

Si Ren didn't expect the monster to speak, and the sound shook the night sky, and he stood there dumbfounded for a moment.

The monster said again: "You called me here, have you forgotten?"

"Did I call you here? Nonsense!"

"Haha! I'm not talking nonsense. Don't you always resent your father and brother?"

"I... Do I resent my father and brother? What does it have to do with you?! I didn't ask you to come! What the hell are you?!"

"What am I? Hahahaha! I am a monster summoned by the resentment in your heart, don't you know?"

"You are talking nonsense! If you could summon monsters with resentment in your heart, there would be a lot of monsters in the world!"

"Hmph, then I don't know, anyway, I came because you asked me to come."

"Shut up!"

"I'm just here to fulfill your wish. Hahahaha!"

"You...don't say any more! Dead monster, watch me avenge my father and elder brother right now!"

As he spoke, Si Ren raised the shovel in his hand and aimed it at the monster's eyes.

Si Ren's hand was very accurate, and the monster's eyes were hit. It screamed and threw away the tattered limbs in its mouth, howling and rushing towards Si Ren.Si Ren instinctively reached for his waist, but found that the backpack was not on him.Suddenly a figure rushed out from nowhere and knocked Si Ren aside.

"Little Bead──"

When Si Ren got up and saw clearly that the person who knocked him away was Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu had already been stepped on by the monster and tore off his head.

After the shock, Si Ren raised his head and glared at the monster with tears streaming down his face, "You said you only appeared because I resented my father and brother! Why did you hurt other people?!"

"You admit it?"

The mist full of blood and stench sprayed all over Si Ren's body, and his face was immediately covered with a layer of blood red water droplets.

"If you have the ability, kill me too!"

"You think I dare not?! If I eat you, I will eat up all the people in the city!"

The monster opened its bloody mouth again, and Si Ren was about to fight to the death, when the monster suddenly howled and turned his head away.

Mrs. Si, with disheveled hair and blood all over her face, held the handle of the knife in her hand, and the entire blade in front of her fell into the monster's leg.

"Return my husband and son..."

Mrs. Si said this softly, and the next moment she was picked up by the monster's huge sharp fangs.

"Mother—" Si Yan cried out hoarsely and was about to rush over.

"Si Ren!"

A loud shout came from the sky, and a young man with red hair and red eyes and wearing a blue coat landed in front of Si Ren.

"You are..." Si Yan felt a sharp pain in his head, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this familiar face.

"Long Jiu! I am Long Jiu!"

Si Ren opened his mouth wide, "The one in the dream just now..."

"Yes, it's me! Why don't you come with me? If you leave, what's happening now won't happen."

Before Si Ren could answer, the monster behind Long Jiu threw off Mrs. Si on the long teeth, pawed twice and rushed towards them.Si Ren wanted to run to Mrs. Si.But Long Jiu grabbed him and ran in the opposite direction.

"What are you doing?! I'm going to save my mother!"

"Don't go!"

Si Ren struggled desperately, but Long Jiu grabbed him tightly and refused to let go, the monster was already in front of him.As soon as Long Jiu raised his hand, a fire dragon jumped out from his sleeve.The fire dragon grew longer and longer and finally turned into a matchlock that entangled the monster.But the monster doesn't seem to be afraid of burning, it's just tightly bound and unable to move.

"Who are you?!" the monster roared at Long Jiu.

Long Jiu turned his head and showed a smile, "Old Freak Feng Xi, I never imagined that after so long, you are still as stupid as before."

"How do you know me?!"

Si Ren plopped down on his knees beside him, "You are so powerful, please help me save my mother!"

Long Jiu picked up Si Ren and dragged her out of the courtyard, "You can't save her! Come with me!"

"why?!"

"This is not the real world!"

"you're lying!"

Si Ren was pulled down, except for the arm in Long Jiu's hand, the rest was stuck to the ground, and the thin Long Jiu dragged him step by step, and a long drag mark appeared on the ground.

Seeing that the monster was about to break free from the fire rope, Long Jiu waved his sleeves, and the already horrific yard suddenly flooded.The water rushes in, and when it meets Long Jiu, the water separates by itself.

Si Ren broke free from Long Jiu like crazy, "You bastard sees that you are not only dead, but also released! Mother—mother—"

He ran back while shouting, Long Jiu couldn't bear it anymore, raised his hand and released a rope to tie up Si Ren.But this time it was just ordinary hemp rope, and there was no fire.

After exhausting all his efforts, Long Jiu finally managed to get Si Ren, who kept scolding, shouting and crying, to the place where Si Ren came here in the front courtyard.The monster named Feng Xi also broke free from the rope and swam across the flood to catch up.

"I know who you are! I thought you were dead."

Long Jiu grabbed Si Ren and pushed back, Si Ren disappeared.Long Jiu turned around, "Aren't you still alive?"

"Jiu Ying, if you saved him today, you will regret it in the future."

Long Jiu smiled, "Really? That's my business too, it has nothing to do with you."

After speaking, Long Jiu's body fell backwards, and everything returned to darkness.

"Mother! Mother!" Si Ren rolled his eyes and gasped and sat up vigorously, then his eyes rolled and his face gradually returned to normal.

Long Jiu hurried over to help him, he grabbed Long Jiu's shoulder and shook it like crazy, "Quick! Quick! Save my mother... Hurry up..."

"Mr. Si! You're back!" Long Jiu shouted.

Si Ren's hand stopped suddenly, he stared at Long Jiu for a moment, then turned his head to look at Dudu Wanhe Yechang who was sitting next to him, finally he raised his hand and touched his face, the tears on his face were still there He did it, but he remembered everything: he came to the general's mansion to steal things, and the unicorn was still in Jinji's hands.

The person in front of him──is Long Jiu.

Leaning forward, Si Ren took Long Jiu into his arms.The real touch is very different from the nothingness in the dream, and he cried again when he was excited.
