Chapter 164 Aning’s Dream
Chapter 164 Aning’s Dream
It was getting late, and if dangers could easily be hidden in the dense forest, Wu Xie and the others had no choice but to find an open space to rest before continuing tomorrow.
Wu Xie slowly put down An Ning on his back. Fatty Wang had already taken out An Ning's sleeping bag, and they put An Ning into the sleeping bag.
Wu smacked his back and sat aside. He looked at An Ning's sleeping bag and felt mixed emotions in his heart. Then he suddenly remembered something. He reached into his pocket and took it out. An Ning told him to give it to Bai Jiaojiao's book.
He looked at the notebook in his hand, then raised his head and looked around. He saw that except Zhang Qiling, who was still keeping vigil, everyone else was asleep. Seeing this, he returned his gaze to the notebook again.
Although it was bad to see the contents without permission, he didn't know if the notebook would always be on him during the journey. Wu Xie thought as he untied the string tied to the notebook.
But as long as he can get out alive, he will definitely convey the contents to Bai Jiaojiao.
Wu Xie gently opened the book in his hand. The pages inside were a little yellowed. He thought they were from a long time ago, and the handwriting on them was also very neat.
Wu Xie softly read out the first few characters in the first line: "Meng Xiliang..."
After he finished reading the first page, he turned to the second page. The sound of turning pages came one after another, which was not out of place in the quiet night.
The book was very thick, and it took Wu Xie almost an hour to read it. He closed the book again and put it back in his pocket, and then his eyes were on Aning again.
The content inside is very fantastic. It records Aning's dreams from the age of ten to the present. Each dream has only fragments, but when connected together, they seem to tell a story.
Aning had a brother in her dreams. Whenever she dreamed of her brother, although she could not see his face clearly, she knew that he would always look at her tenderly and smile.
In the dream, her brother would sing her a kind of ballad that she didn't understand. Their home was in a place filled with yellow sand, and there was a city there. There were no flowers here, but her brother and another person would often bring her various kinds of songs from outside. Unseen flowers come back.
They were under a big tree, and her brother sang songs. She danced along with the songs. There were many white butterflies around her. She could also hear the wind making the wind chimes hanging on the tree jingle.
The dream seems to have ended here. It can be seen that it is a very beautiful story, but this story does not seem to be complete.
On the following pages of the book, Aning wrote that she had been to many deserts because of this dream, but nowhere was the same as in the dream.
She has been searching, she wants to find the place in her dream, and she wants to find the brother in her dream.
She also thought about how such a ridiculous thing could be true and just a dream.
But until she met someone, that person made her feel exactly like her brother in the dream.
Wu Xie easily guessed that the person Aning was talking about was Bai Jiaojiao.
The last page of the book must have been written by Aning not long ago, and the ink on it has not yet completely dried.
She said that the desert in the Gobi she mentioned this time seemed somewhat similar to the one in the dream. Although she did not see the city in the dream, her feeling told her that this was it.
She planned to go to the desert to find the answer she wanted when the Queen Mother Palace in the west of the city came out.
Wu Xie's eyes lowered, this was Aning's knot in her heart, but she had no chance to look for it now...
Thinking of this, Wu Xie secretly swore that if he could get out alive, he would convey all of this to Bai Jiaojiao. This could be regarded as fulfilling her unfulfilled wish.
It was late at night and the moon was covered by dark clouds, but Wu Xie did not feel sleepy at all. Too many things happened today and he was not in the mood to sleep, but they had to continue to the West Queen Mother's Palace tomorrow to refresh themselves.
Thinking about this, Wu Xie didn't lie down in his sleeping bag. He was not sleepy, but unexpectedly quickly fell into a deep sleep. In his sleep, he seemed to see the scene that Aning said.
Among the three people under a big tree, there was a girl dancing gracefully. That girl seemed to be Aning, and the man in white sitting beside him singing seemed to have been seen somewhere before, and there was also a man wearing black armor. Man, the man stood beside the man in white. He could only see the man's profile. The man looked directly at the man in white with a smile.
Wu Xie didn't know how long he had been sleeping when he heard a faint whispering sound. He opened his eyes drowsily and saw that it was still dark. He was about to go back to sleep, but he caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye.
He turned around and saw that Aning's sleeping bag had been opened at some point. Wu Xie's mind was clear when he saw this.
He picked up the flashlight and stood up. This movement woke up Panzi next to him and Zhang Qiling, who had always been a light sleeper.
They also discovered Aning's condition. Several people gathered around Aning's sleeping bag. Wu Xie took a flashlight and discovered that there seemed to be traces of snakes crawling on Aning's sleeping bag.
Then they found footprints on the surrounding grass, which seemed to have been left recently.
"Is the person opening the sleeping bag a human or a snake?"
Just after Panzi asked this question, Zhang Qiling seemed to notice a hidden person in the grass not far behind them, spying on them.
He turned his head sharply and saw that the man hiding in the grass saw that he had been discovered and quickly turned around and ran away. Wu Xie also heard the movement at this time.
It was so dark that when they turned around they could only see a black figure running into the distance.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Qiling hurriedly chased after him, while Wu Xie and Panzi also followed.
After the three of them left, dozens of pheasant necks climbed onto An Ning's sleeping bag. They wrapped their tails around An Ning and dragged him out.
But the movement happened to wake up Fatty Wang, who was still sleeping soundly. Fatty Wang sat up and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Aning surrounded by snakes.
When he saw this, he was startled at first, and then after realizing it, he quickly got up and went to get something from his bag.
But he didn't realize that a person had quietly appeared behind him. The person raised his hand, and then he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck, and then he fainted as soon as his eyes went dark.
After the man caught Fatty Wang, he stuffed him back into the sleeping bag and carefully pulled up the zipper.
After all this was done, the man turned his attention to Aning, and then said, "Damn it, Momojiji didn't eat!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and clasped his hands behind his back, and slowly walked into the dense forest. The snakes entangled with An Ning also dragged An Ning into the dense forest behind him.
Only the equipment in that area and the unlucky Fatty Wang who was knocked unconscious just after waking up were left behind.
