The man was facing the window from the side, Jiang Xixi couldn't see his face clearly, so she lay forward again, how could it be cold in the middle of the night, the soil on the wall was frozen, and she had shrunk motionless for a long time, and her body was already stiff, so her hand slipped, and she accidentally planted the whole person into the courtyard, making a muffled sound of "tom".
She didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly got up from the ground, but when she looked into the window again, she found that the man was gone, and in the room, only Mrs.
Dong sat alone in front of the mirror, as demure as a lotus flower isolated from the world.
Jiang Xixi was shocked, and just wanted to enter the house to ask her for an explanation, but at this moment, Leng Buding saw a black shadow running out of the room, sticking to the wall and running outside.
Jiang Xixi didn't have time to think about it, moved to the outside of the courtyard, followed closely behind the black shadow, and ran with him into the dense forest behind Dong's house.
The shadow stood still less than a few paces away from her, its back to her, separated only by two bare tree trunks.
Jiang Xixi turned her face sideways and looked at the somewhat familiar figure, she felt that a small hand was digging desperately in her heart, trying to dig out the truth that was about to break through the ground, but although there was only a thin layer of soil between her and it, she couldn't see its true face for a long time, which made her scratch her heart and lungs, and her heart was itchy and flustered.
Who knows, the person in front of him also seemed to have guessed Jiang Xixi's thoughts, he slowly turned towards her, and stood with her without any scruples, what surprised her even more was that he raised the corner of his mouth and burst into a very weird smile at himself.
That smile was like a frost knife, straight into Jiang Xixi's heart, spreading little by little, freezing her body into an ice cave.
She was horrified, and the next moment, her hand reached behind her back, trying to pull out the long sword behind her.
But after all, she was still a step slower, and her five fingers had not yet touched the hilt of the sword, but her back was cold, so deep, piercing from her back waist to her front abdomen, stirring her internal organs.
The moment his consciousness wandered out of his mind, Jiang Xixi saw two figures from between his eyelids, they stood side by side, hazy and distant.
When Jiang Xixi woke up again, she found that it was still dark, she took a few breaths of hot and humid air in horror, and reached out to touch her waist.
But her fingers rubbed it repeatedly, but she could only touch a piece of cold clothing, no wounds, and no blood, as if the knife not long ago was just her hallucination.
But no, she clearly remembered the heart-rending pain, deep into the texture, cold as ice at first, but later, like a pot of boiling hot oil, all her consciousness was burned.
It is clearly real and thorough, but now, it has disappeared suddenly, leaving no trace.
Jiang Xixi's heart suddenly surged with uneasiness, and when she smelled the wet and stuffy air around her, this uneasiness became more and more intense, crawling into every corner of her heart little by little, holding her heart like a hard stone, unable to beat, but pressing down on her chest.
She staggered to her feet with her hands on the ground, and when she looked around, she found that there was nothing around her, only a few yellow-green fluorescents, floating in mid-air, up and down, wandering.
"Hotaru, isn't it winter?
Why are there fireflies?
” Jiang Xixi was full of doubts, but her palms unconsciously spread forward, trying to grab the only living creature that accompanied her, but this time, she threw herself into the air and almost fell to the ground.
Because although those fireflies were close at hand, she caught them like this, but they instantly drifted a few feet away, staying there and not moving, as if luring her over.
Jiang Xixi was now in such a strange environment, and it was inevitable that her heart was fluttering, and her legs seemed to belong to her as if they didn't belong to her, so she only walked towards those faint fluorescent lights, walked into the middle of them, and continued to walk with them towards the unknown wasteland in front of them.
She seemed to be tired, just walking blindly on this strange wasteland, walking and walking, I don't know how long I walked, I didn't know where I was going, until I saw a grand temple in front of her, she suddenly came back to her senses, trembling her legs and no longer moving forward, only looking at the hall that seemed to be floating in the clouds, her lips were slightly open, and her eyes became straight.
There is a stone tablet standing in front of the temple, although it is surrounded by mist, but Jiang Xixi still sees clearly the three blood-red characters on the stone tablet: Guangtai Temple.
"Guangtai Temple."
She read it in her heart, and for some reason, she always felt that she had heard these three words somewhere, but she couldn't remember them for a while. was searching her intestines and scraping her stomach, and suddenly heard a cry from the temple, the sound was not loud, but it was so poignant that she couldn't tell whether the person was crying or screaming, but only one thing was certain, the person in the temple must be suffering greatly now, such as heartbreaking and dissecting the liver, and the pain was deep.
Jiang Xi was afraid, she had been a servant for so long, and she thought that she had seen countless bloody scenes and strange things, but today, she was suddenly and sincerely afraid, perhaps, what she was afraid of was not the miserable cry in the temple, but the temple itself, because when those fireflies arrived here, they no longer flew forward, but floated on the top of the temple, as if they had finally found a home.
Home Is this where they belong?
Or is it your own destination?
Cold, such a strange thought broke into his mind, Jiang Xixi shuddered heavily, and for the first time in his life, he wanted to escape.
But as soon as she turned around, she was stunned: behind her, where was there any wasteland, that vast, boundless, endless darkness, like an abyss, like a vast ocean, as if she would fall into it.
The cold sweat on her back climbed up and fell layer after layer, repeating the cycle, soaking her body into a cold.
She hesitated for a long time, and finally, turning to face the huge temple with red walls and gray tiles again, her fingers clenched tightly, and her heart was crossed, and she walked towards it regardless of it.
Inside the temple, the candlelight flickered, illuminating the boxy space in front of the offering table, but the rest of the place was dark, like the chaotic darkness outside, as if it could suck people into it by accident.
Jiang Xi looked for prestige, and vaguely saw a few vague shadows behind a vermilion column, her heart tightened, and she moved her heavy steps towards the column.
When I walked to the front of the pillar, the terrible screams reached my ears without any obstruction, and became more and more clear.
Jiang Xixi suddenly felt that the strength in her body was being withdrawn, she held on to the pillar, listened to her more and more rapid gasps, slowly stood on tiptoe, and probed over.
