Chapter 354 Dream Return
Chapter 354 Dream Return
Because they couldn't find the treasure for a long time, the people outside gradually evacuated. In the end, only Chu Liang and Xi Hu's people were left.
Lu Zizhou became the biggest beneficiary of this treasure hunt, and his annual KPI was maximized.
Others look for treasure, he looks for monsters.
Because they couldn't get into Cangkong Mountain, Lu Zizhou had captured most of the monsters outside.
Some monsters panicked and fled to the vicinity of the cave, where they were all locked up by Zhuangzhuang.
Yuan Lai went to take a look and saw all kinds of strange shapes.
"Don't be curious, you humans should stay away from here." Zhuangzhuang blocked Yuan Lai's sight with his body.
"I'll just take a look." Yuan Lai left tactfully.
The lamp oil team, consisting of Zhuo, Li Hao and He Haonan, continued to develop and test. The logistics team was composed of Zhuo Yuan, Jiang Dunhao and Chen Shaoxi, who were responsible for daily food preparation and vegetable garden cultivation. The mountain gate team was led by Li Gengyun, Zhao Xiaotong and Wang Yiheng, who went to the mountain to cut bamboo before dawn every day.
Zhuangzhuang is completely in his comfort zone when it comes to moving bamboos. Li Gengyun and Zhao Xiaotong could only cut a few bamboos in half a day, but Zhuangzhuang could move them all in one go. Finally, he couldn't stand the slow speed of humans and took up the task himself.
One is worth ten.
Isn’t it said that Lu Zizhou is keen on controlling monsters rather than killing them? The process of taming them certainly requires effort, but isn’t free labor nice?
Three thick bamboo poles form the gatepost frame, supplemented by thin bamboo fillings, and the gate has taken shape.
Zhuangzhuang lifted up the connected bamboos and controlled the huge bamboo gate by himself.
"Tell me what you would do without me!"
Li Gengyun dug a hole in the ground and the little boy poked bamboo into it. The gate occupied the entire hillside and was quite imposing.
Yuan Lai was amazed, and turned around to come face to face with Kah.
Her heart was beating in her throat, and she kept repeating to herself, "You can't see us, you can't see us."
Kah first bent down, looked at Yuan Lai with a smile, then straightened up, ignored the barrier in front of him, and walked in.
"You guys are hiding here, you think I can't find you?"
The brothers stopped what they were doing, as if facing a powerful enemy.
Kah walked into the cave leisurely and glanced at the cloud tree whose leaves had completely turned yellow and fallen off.
I also touched the huge stone statues in the cave, and even checked in at the small caves where each brother lived.
It feels like traveling.
Yuan Lai and his brothers dared not breathe a word, fearing that if they were not careful, the army would approach and they would lose their heads.
After swimming a lap, Kah came back and sat where Zhuangzhuang had just sat.
Zhuangzhuang was puzzled, "Who are you?"
Kah ignored Zhuangzhuang and waved his brothers over.
Who would dare to step forward? It was clearly courting death. The brothers retreated in unison.
Yuan Lai could originally see what was happening in the cave, but now he could see nothing.
"Yuan Lai, remember to bring Ren He next time. I haven't seen him for a long time and I miss him."
Yuan Lai quickly searched for the name in his memory, and a face suddenly popped up in his mind.
"Okay." She agreed first, and as for next time, she definitely wouldn't come.
Kah looked at the top of the tree of the cloudberry, where there were some new green buds.
"It's time to go back."
what?
Before anyone could react, they felt their bodies floating lightly into the air and standing on the top of the Yunxiao Tree.
"Use the spirit of the world to open..."
The cave under my feet became farther and farther away, and the entire Cangkong Mountain was in sight, like a sleeping dragon.
The mountains were filled with clouds and mist, which soaked their eyes and stung them so much that they had to close their eyes tightly.
Yuan Lai opened her eyes and saw the white ceiling. She jumped out of bed, so violently that she woke up Qi Rong who was beside her.
"woke up?"
Yuan Lai slapped his face hard to confirm his current location.
"Did you sleep?"
Qi Rong poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Yuan Lai's lips, "Don't get excited, come, have a drink."
Where's the cave? Where's the cloudwood? Where's the village gate? Where's Kah?
Yuan Lai put on his coat hastily, ran from upstairs to downstairs, opened the door, and saw a vast green wheat field.
She turned around and asked, "How long have I slept?"
Qi Rong walked down slowly and looked into Yuan Lai's eyes. "You only slept for ten hours."
"No, no." Yuan Lai subconsciously reached behind his head, but the golden hairpin was gone.
"I killed He Haonan and Zhao Xiaotong. But I wandered with them to ancient times, where humans and demons coexisted. There was the Xihu Kingdom, the Chuliang Kingdom, and many other countries. We fled to Cangkong Mountain and survived together. My hairpin!" Yuan Lai grabbed Qi Rong's arm tightly, trying to make his tone calm and clear, "That gold hairpin is actually a hairpin. I kept it in a jewelry store! Look, the gold hairpin on my head is really gone!"
Qi Rong reached out and covered Yuan Lai's eyes, then held her in his arms and comforted her softly, "You just had a dream, that's all. The hairpin is not lost, it's right next to your bed."
Is it a dream?
Yuan Lai felt inexplicably depressed. Those experiences were real and specific. Could they have been just a dream?
Lucid dreaming is not enough, she also has to dream within the dream. How can she have so many dreams to dream!
For the first time, Yuan Lai had deep doubts about everything.
She pushed Qi Rong away and ran out of the apartment.
Vegetables are planted in the fields, the greenhouses are filled with flower stands, and even the yard is filled with processed bamboo.
The unfinished bamboo fence kept the film crew out.
The yellow and white puppy suddenly appeared in the cage in the accounting office.
The railings of the sheep shed were welded more firmly than before, and Yuan Lai even picked up a rusty sickle.
Everything is both familiar and unfamiliar, both illusory and real.
Yuan Lai squatted on the ground, holding her head in pain. Where was she and what was she going to do?
There are so many people watching the show, why her?
Yes, yes, yes. She saw Zhao Xiaotong and He Haonan fall in front of her with her own eyes that night. She wanted to see what was happening with these two people.
After leaving the breeding area, Yuan Lai went straight to the yard.
Zhao Xiaotong was still standing in the kitchen, holding a spatula in his hand, with his back to Yuan Lai.
Yuan Lai stepped forward cautiously and asked uncertainly, "Little boy?"
Zhao Xiaotong turned around and greeted Yuan Lai naturally, "Good afternoon, have you eaten?"
Yuan Lai noticed the redness and swelling on Zhao Xiaotong's neck and asked, "What's wrong with your neck?"
"Oh, it must be a bug bite while I was sleeping at night. It's a little red from scratching, right? It will be fine in a while."
Whether out of fear or helplessness, Yuan Lai took two steps back, quickly left the kitchen, and walked back aimlessly.
Dreaming about it, he was lying to her.
Even she couldn't kill anyone.
This is a task that can never be completed, and she will be trapped in this so-called lucid dream forever.
"Hey, Yuan Lai, are you sick? You look very bad." Three people from the breeding team came towards him, and the one who spoke was He Haonan.
Look, everything is fine.
Only she was fooled around.
The director stood by the roadside and shouted, "Go home quickly and pick up your business licenses after lunch!"
The three of them were so excited that the two younger ones jumped up and down. "Director Yang! What business license? Is this the business license for 'Shigeqintian' (Hangzhou) Agricultural Development Co., Ltd."
"Correct."
"Oh!"
Yuan Lai walked back home and saw Qi Rong standing at the door.
"Yuan Lai..."
She interrupted Qi Rong, locked her bedroom door, and buried herself in the quilt.
She was too messy and had to digest it alone.
In the living room, Meng Mei appeared silently, looking upstairs with a helpless look on her face, "This kid is going crazy."
Qi Rong took the golden hairpin handed to him by Meng Meiyi without saying a word.
Meng Meiyi turned around and sat next to Qi Rong, asking curiously, "Why don't you tell her that all this really happened? Seeing her in so much pain, what's the point?"
"She's already died twice for them. I can only cut the Gordian knot."
Qi Rong used a golden hairpin to cut his palm, and blood instantly rose into the air, covering the sky and the sun.
Meng Meiyi, knowing what the other party was going to do, shook her head. "It's useless, Qi Rong. Human emotions are the most uncontrollable. You think you're helping her, but you're actually hurting her. If you really do that, you might not even be able to find her in the end."
"Why don't you just try and see if Yuan Lai will come down from upstairs."
As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell of the apartment was rang by the program crew.
After a long time, Yuan Lai came down from the bedroom and looked at Qi Rong in the living room and said dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you open the door?"
When I opened the door, I saw a worried-looking staff member. "Where's your car? We need to go to the city to pick up the doctor now!"
"What doctor? Is someone sick?"
"Veterinarian, the ewe gave birth prematurely, and one of the lambs is dying. We need to go to the city to get the vet! Time is of the essence, drive there quickly!"
Yuan Lai was completely confused and had no idea what the other person was talking about. Hadn't the ewe just been brought in? And she was already giving birth?
Turning back, Qi Rong was looking at him and shaking his head slightly.
Qi Rong doesn't let her go?
why?
"What are you still standing there for? Go drive!" the staff urged.
Yuan Lai thought about it and realized that there were so many people in the program crew, and it would not be her turn if something happened. But the other party was so anxious, it seemed that he really needed her help.
So Yuan Lai opened the drawer, took out the car keys, and went to the garage with the staff to drive the car.
Yuan Lai got in the driver's seat, but the other party suddenly got out of the car to answer the phone, and then said to her apologetically, "You go first, I'll send the address to your phone later."
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.
She went by herself to pick someone up.
Yuan Lai drove out of the village and sped along the road. At an intersection, while waiting for the green light, she received a location sharing.
"It's not far. Just turn the corner at the next intersection and you'll be there."
Yuan Lai put down his phone and continued driving.
But for some reason, the red light today took an unusually long time. She finally waited until the light turned green and stepped on the accelerator to drive through the intersection.
Two little girls rushed in from somewhere, and Yuan Lai was so scared that he quickly stepped on the brakes.
But it was too late, she watched helplessly as the other person flew out from in front of the car.
The little girl turned in the air, revealing her face.
Yuan Lai looked at the other person's face in shock, which looked exactly like his own, and quickly opened the door and got out of the car to check.
But apart from the dust raised by the tires rubbing against the ground, where was the little girl?
The traffic light that had just turned green was now a bright red.
Countless pedestrians hurried past the intersection.
Meng Meiyi and Qi Rong stood in mid-air, watching Yuan Lai standing at the intersection in confusion. They felt sorry for her. "Look, let me tell you, the established facts cannot be changed. No matter how you erase her memory, her choice will remain the same."
The indicator light turned green and the car behind him kept honking. Yuan Lai quickly got in the car and started it.
A delivery box truck, driven by a fatigued driver, crashed directly into the rear of Yuan Lai's car. The front of the car turned into the green belt next to it and caught fire instantly.
Meng Meiyi poked the indifferent Qi Rong and asked, "Why don't you go and save him?"
"Forget it, let her be. Now that I've returned to the Daming, I won't meddle in human affairs anymore."
Meng Meiyi grinned with relief, "Right, you finally figured it out! Come on, let's go get some food! Don't look! After dinner, I'll go to Daming to see you in person!"
Yuan Lai was stuck in his seat and could only let the flames devour his body, and the second half of his memory was lost.
She remembered that they had indeed traveled to Xihu Country five years later and returned to the cave. The golden hairpin was custom-made for her by Qi Rong. They had gotten some medicine at Jingci Mountain and then left.
She remembered that she had accompanied them to receive awards, film a movie, save the author, and enter the land of dreams with Ren He to search for lost souls.
She remembered the reincarnation of Sunny Day, the songs from the second music festival, and the rebuilt Houdou Gate.
She remembered that on New Year's Eve she saw the past and the future, remembered the injured Hong Bao and the shrine that risked its life to save her.
These were all things that she had actually experienced, and she remembered them all!
