death like wind

Chapter 45 The Shadow of the Dead Tree

There is a puddle of stagnant water in front of it, reflecting the mysterious woods. Beside the stagnant water are big trees with intertwined branches. There is no way to detour. Su Jin quickly stepped over the puddle of water. Just as he was about to turn a corner, a voice came from behind him. Stepping on the sound of stagnant water, this is the time!

Su Jin grabbed a thick, strong wooden branch and turned around quickly, but there was nothing behind her, and the puddle of water was still rippling.

There is no place to hide at all, and it takes only three seconds before and after!Su Jin was so cold that he was stuck in place, in the darkness covered by the tree trunk, it seemed that countless ghosts and monsters were staring at him covetously.

If the person had discovered that there was stagnant water in front of him from the very beginning, it was possible to make a detour from the old tree, and throw a small stone to interfere with his thinking, but the sound just now clearly sounded like a person's footsteps. It is emitted in muddy water, so this weird phenomenon cannot be explained.

Su Jin's fingers hidden in the wide sleeves couldn't help curling up, she licked her dry lips, turned around and continued walking, and the soft footsteps sounded again.

He has stayed in this ghost head mountain for so many years, and he has never run into a ghost, so he never believes that there are ghosts in the real world, and everything that cannot be explained is man-made!Su Jin squeezed the wooden branch in her hand, deliberately walked around, and kept looking behind her out of the corner of her eye, but she didn't see anything.

Until he came under a big dead tree, and he was about to reach the top of the mountain. Finally, there was a vision behind him, and the footsteps suddenly accelerated, almost running towards Su Jin!

Turning around suddenly, there was still nothing behind him, and the footsteps stopped abruptly.

The wind suddenly stopped, the air seemed to be frozen, the rustling leaves were suddenly silent, and the whole world fell into a strange silence.

A drop of water slipped from the branch, fell on Su Jin's forehead hair, rolled down from the brow bone, and fell into the mud again.Su Jin clenched the wooden branch in her hand, held her breath and did not dare to move, her eyes fell on this dead tree, which was as incompatible as the surrounding ones, her thoughts were turning over and over again, and she always felt that something was wrong.

The cold moonlight fell on the forest, and the shadows of the trees on the ground overlapped. One of the shadows of the trees grew very lushly, scattered with fine flower shadows.

Su Jin looked around, but there was no big tree corresponding to this tree shadow. His eyes fell on the dead tree. The trunk of the dead tree was very thick and strong, and he could see the glorious scenery before death, but now it is bare There is no longer a leaf on the branch of the tree, only the dried branches are still maintained as before.

Su Jin was stunned suddenly, staring straight at the shadow of the tree on the ground, her scalp felt numb for a moment, the shadow of the dead tree actually had dense leaves!

The blooming branches sway, like a black and white film left in the world, playing the former appearance. It looks like a peach tree. Su Jin walked in and found that there was only a tombstone under the dead tree, which was exposed to the sun and rain. , the handwriting on it is no longer legible.He has come and gone to Guitou Mountain for so many years, but he has never paid attention to this place. If it wasn't for today, he might never know the strangeness of this isolated area.

Su Jin used the moonlight to try to identify the handwriting on it, but she could only piece together what was green, what was big, and what was the word Yao.

The photo inlaid on it is also mottled, the colors are smeared into a colorful mess, and the person in the photo seems to be smiling, but it is distorted by the smudged color, and it seems to be crying and laughing, which looks very strange.

When Su Jin thought of something, she was fixed there, her thoughts were tossed in the turbulent sea, and she couldn't find a foothold in the ups and downs.

There was a light cough from behind him, and he turned around. At some point, the master was standing behind him, and his eyes also fell on the tombstone.

"Master, whose tombstone is this?" Su Jin asked in a soft voice, as if she was afraid of disturbing the people who were sleeping here.

The wind hit the dead wood like a roar.

The surrounding leaves were flying all over the sky, and the master's cloudy eyes turned to Su Jin after a while: "I don't know either."

He was stunned, in a daze.

The master knew every grave on Guitou Mountain like the palm of his hand, who was buried inside, how long ago he was born and how long he died, and what happened in his life. This was the first time he showed a blank look at a tombstone.

What does this out-of-the-box tombstone mean?

Back in the dilapidated wooden house, the master went into the bedroom without saying a word, and didn’t come out after that. The light bulbs in the room were not well connected, the lights flickered on and off, and there were some moths around them. After changing the light bulb, I just sat at the table in a daze.

He spends a lot of time in a daze. Apart from going to school occasionally, he usually spends his time in a daze at home. Sometimes the master will find some books for him to read, and he can read a thick book for half an hour. After reading it, I started to be in a daze again.

All in all, he hasn't been to school for a month, and the university is very loose, but it's always a bit bad if he doesn't go for a month, and the winter vacation will be gone soon, but he hasn't attended a few classes.

Just thinking about not going to this university, the phone rang, and it was Yan Xilin.

"What are you doing, Ajin?" A warm and clear voice came through the receiver, clean and clear, like a yellow warbler singing, instantly calming Su Jin's confused mood.

Su Jin thought about it, and suddenly remembered the jokes she saw on the Internet, and replied, "I'm thinking of you."

The other side was stunned for a moment, and then there was a burst of laughter: "Did you encounter any troubles again?"

Su Jin said: "You first ask me why I miss you."

"Okay." Yan Xilin's voice was a little helpless, "Why does Ah Jin miss me?"

"Because there are too many people stealing pigs recently, I'm so worried about you." Su Jin couldn't help laughing after she said that, and there was a long silence on the other side.

"Hey, Yan Xilin, I was just joking, you..."

"Are you still calling me so distant?" Yan Xilin interrupted him with a distant voice, "You can call me...forget it."

Su Jin was a little confused, and before she could figure it out, Yan Xilin changed the topic: "The client I picked up today has already fallen into a nightmare world, we have set a night dream in three days' time, and I will send you a text message with the basic information , get ready."

"Okay, then..."

"I still have something to do here, so I'll hang up first." His voice was still soft and soft, but for some reason it sounded a little lonely.

"Oh." Then there was a mechanical busy tone, Su Jin looked at the darkened phone screen in frustration, and wanted to ask if he wanted to sleep together, but it seemed that there was no chance.

Su Jin put away her mobile phone, washed and crawled back to bed. She went to sleep, thinking that three days would soon pass, and she would see Yan Xilin again. She didn't know what the next nightmare world would be like, but it seemed like related to love.

Thoughts began to wander endlessly again, what is love?Is this unclear relationship between him and Yan Xilin considered love?

The next day, Su Jin got up early to pack up her textbooks, and planned to go to school today, to hang out in front of the teachers to show that she was still alive.

After cooking the noodles for Master, she took only a piece of dry bread and went to school. When passing by the tombstone, Su Jin stopped in her tracks and enshrined the bread she took a bite of in front of the tombstone. , He himself didn't know why he did this, it was as if he was possessed by a demon.

The school is two hours' drive away from Guitou Mountain, and it was already noon when we arrived at the school. I was thinking about finding a place to have a meal, when someone tapped him on the shoulder and took him over.

A hearty voice sounded above his head: "Oh, you boy, are you finally willing to come back? I thought you died somewhere."

"Thank you!" Su Jin's eyes lit up, "I treat you to dinner!"

"Where did you go to get rich?" Xie Lingyun raised his eyebrows and readily agreed.

Xie Lingyun is his senior, high school is also a school. It is worth mentioning that he once fell into the nightmare world. I heard that it is a nightmare world with mysterious characters. There are more than 300 dream masters in it, and only a dozen are alive. come out.

It can be seen that his family's financial resources are also very large.

There were no high-end restaurants near the school, so Xie Lingyun took Xie Lingyun's car to the square for dinner. Originally, Xie Lingyun just agreed casually, and didn't expect Su Jin to pay for it. Not holding on anymore.

"Brother Xie, I have a question, so it's not convenient to ask if you don't know." Su Jin gently stroked the medium-rare beef, but her eyes didn't fall into the real place.

"Tell me, what's the relationship between us, what's the inconvenience?" Xie Lingyun smiled cheerfully, and gave Su Jin the cut beef on the plate to exchange with him.

Su Jin raised her head, looked at Xie Lingyun without blinking and said, "In the eyes of the dreamer, what does the nightmare world look like?"

Xie Lingyun was obviously in a daze, his gaze sank, and he was drawn into that painful memory again, Su Jin said quickly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have reminded you of these things."

Xie Lingyun smiled reluctantly, stuffed a big mouthful of beef into the water, and muttered: "It's nothing, I kind of forget it, it's just like a dream, like a bystander, I know everything that happened in the nightmare world , and watched a positional dream master die, the memory is very confused, sometimes I feel that I am dreaming, sometimes I think it is reality, and I have a new identity in it, all dream masters are the same, like an infinite Like a fly, relying on instinct to crack dreams..."

Xie Lingyun swallowed the beef in his mouth, and his signature smile returned to that handsome face again: "However, I heard that most of the rules of Xuanzi Nightmare are different, and they are not accurate. After I woke up, I was in a daze for a while. I can still recall some details, but in the end I only have a very vague idea of ​​what happened in the dream, Xuanzi Nightmare is really not stupid."

Su Jin was in a daze, and the knife and fork had to touch the beef cut into small pieces on the plate. Xie Lingyun stretched out his hand and waved in front of his eyes, wondering: "Didn't you always dislike the nightmare world? What happened recently?" temper?"

"My master said that I have to practice in the nightmare world to save my life." After eating a piece of beef, Su Jin replied absent-mindedly, "I may have a catastrophe when I grow up."

Xie Lingyun laughed twice, and said: "Your master is crazy all day long, and you are the only one who regards his words as the Bible."

Su Jin glared at him, Xie Lingyun waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't talk about him, I heard that the old devil is going to accept papers for this semester, have you done it yet?"

They study international finance, and the professional teachers are more vicious than the other. The old devil refers to the teacher who teaches economics. The old professor in his 60s has a very stubborn temper and loves to assign homework.

Speaking of him, Su Jin got a headache and said angrily, "How many papers? How long will it take?"

"Look at the class group, hey, I forgot you don't have QQ, okay, let me ask you." Xie Lingyun took out his mobile phone, tapped a few times, and received a reply shortly after, "You are miserable, Three papers, more than [-] words, will be his in the second class in the afternoon and must be handed in."

"..." Su Jin lay on the table dying.

Xie Lingyun made up his sword and said, "It's too late."

Su Jin: "It's too late, I think I can still save it."

If you don't hand in your homework on time, the consequences will be disastrous. Not only will you be suspended, but you will not be allowed to make up the exam, and you will have to retake it. Su Jin really doesn't want to see the old devil anymore.

Xie Lingyun suggested: "Let me recommend a few people to help you get out in a hurry."

"Thank you." Su Jin was revived with full blood, alive and well again, and Xie Lingyun clicked his tongue twice, feeling very lucky.

After exchanging phone numbers with Xie Lingyun and returning to school, Su Jin sat in the classroom for the first time. Most of the people in the class didn't know him, after all, the number of times he came to school was indeed very few.The class monitor is a very beautiful girl who is also the flower of the Department of Finance.At this time, this beautiful woman sat in front of him, talking to him with earnestness.

"The time we stayed in school is estimated to be only the last two years. If you are still fooling around like this all day, then what will you do in the future when you are born in the society to let a listed company recruit you? How will you support your parents?" After talking a lot, Su Jin's ears hurt from talking, so she couldn't bear to interrupt her.

"I know all of this, you are even more verbose than a mother." Su Jin's cell phone rang just in time, and it was those who had rushed for his papers to hand in the task.

"Okay, you come to the fourth floor of Teaching A, I'm here to teach." After hanging up the phone, the monitor was still sitting in front of him, blushing, as if he was angry.

Su Jin was at a loss: "Do you have anything else to do?"

"I don't care if you are a pig!" Those beautiful almond eyes were misty, like a vast ocean, rippling, extremely sad, she turned her head quickly, wiped her eyes, and ran away.

"......"what happened?

A small episode, Su Jin quickly forgot it, listened to the teacher's long-winded two lectures in a drowsy state, and finally handed in the thesis, patted her ass and left.

As for what else is going on in school, he doesn't want to worry about it, so let it be, if he can't stay, he will drop out of school at worst.

With the reward I got last time, I bought a lot of things outside, and rented a suite in the city center by the way. Although I can't live in it, it looks good. I don't know how to spend the rest of the money, so I donate it all to public welfare fund.

Three days passed quietly, and the date of dreaming was coming soon.
