"Okay, stop talking nonsense, get in the car quickly, and go out early. You are fine, there is a baby."

I made the final decision and ended the quarrel.

Of course, in the end, I beat the dream-eating tapir again, and this guy finally became honest.

I know that the dream-eating tapir did it on purpose. It didn't want me to get stuck in the past and sink deeper and deeper into it.

However, no matter what happened, it is difficult to change or make up for it.

Just as I opened the car door and prepared to get into the car, the ground suddenly shook violently.

Countless amounts of sand were flying all over the sky, and the ground seemed to be pressed down by a huge hand, and the whole ground was rapidly collapsing downwards.

The baby opened his dark eyes and didn't understand what was happening. Instead, he looked at the novelty around him with a smile.

The surroundings were falling rapidly, and I felt weightless. My feet seemed to be nailed to the sand, unable to move.

Lin Zihan and Zhang Geng were both unsteady, so I reached out to support them and the baby.

The surrounding area quickly dimmed until there was no light at all.

Darkness spreads, and all traces of everyone disappear.

I shouted: "Zhang Geng! Lin Zihan! Bai Luoxin! Dream-eating tapir!"

No one responded to me.

There was only a beam of light shining from a distance. It was so bright that I subconsciously blocked my eyes.

When the light came closer, it turned out to be a flashlight.

The person holding the flashlight was a woman who looked to be in her thirties. Her hands were dark and rough, covered with calluses, and her eyes were gentle and worried.

She grabbed my shoulders, slapped my butt twice, and murmured: "I made you disobedient! What if you run out in the middle of the night and are snatched away by a wolf?!"

She didn't have much strength, and I didn't feel any pain, but her eyes were red, and she hugged me again, "Arui, are you hurt? Mommy is late."

Her embrace was extremely warm, and her heart was beating lively and powerfully.

She is my mother.

I went back to my childhood.

Wasn't I still in the desert a moment ago? How could I go back to my childhood?

Could it be that the ruins brought me back many years ago, just like it brought the Yin soldiers many years into the future?

I didn't resist and followed my mother back home honestly.

My father was still sitting on the chair in front of the door. When he saw me coming back, he just raised his eyelids and continued to smoke, but I noticed that his cloth shoes were tattered and full of mud.

He probably traveled across the mountains and ridges to find me.

My eyes were slightly moist.

These are my parents, ordinary, but loving parents who hold me at the forefront of their hearts.

My mother cooked a meal for me. It was not very delicious and I could barely satisfy my hunger, but it was pretty good. It was common for people to starve to death at that time.

I silently helped my parents clean up the house and walked around the two of them.

My mother looked at me with relief, probably thinking that I had grown up and become more sensible.

She whispered to my father, and the two of them laughed happily.

How good it is to be young, unlike them later on who are old and unable to recover.

The next day, I came to the river and saw myself looking like I was about five or six years old.

I don’t know if I have ever experienced the ghost temple incident before.

I followed my parents to the fields and wanted to help them work, but they drove me to the field ridge.

I sat on the ground and looked up at the sky.

The sky is so blue!

The breeze blew by, and large swaths of tasseled corn swayed with broad leaves.

"Hua la la la!" They extended their leaves and danced with the wind, like a rolling green ocean.

Several scarecrows are scattered in the cornfield.

Some of them are wearing yellow clothes, some are wearing green hats, and some have yellow faces with no features, rough and simple.

A little boy with a big snotty nose ran over, sat next to me and swayed his legs. He smiled silly at me.

"Brother Ari, what are you looking at?"

I thought he looked familiar, so I blurted out: "Li Goudaner."

I remembered, he is my childhood friend Li Gang, his nickname is Goudaner, he is a little younger than me, and he likes to play behind me the most.

He came closer to me and said exaggeratedly: "Brother Ari, you are so powerful. I heard that you went to the ghost temple and stayed overnight. What is there in the ghost temple?"

"It's nothing. It's just dust and cobwebs. It's not fun at all."

Li Gang sighed in disappointment, twisted his neck, and threw the snot behind him.

"Then where are we going to play today?"

My eyes flashed and I said deliberately: "Go find Gong Yiyu."

Li Gang was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand: "Gong Yiyu is a girl, so she knows how to twist flowers and ropes, which is boring."

"Then I'll go by myself..."

"Brother A Rui..." Li Gang became anxious. He grabbed my arm and said stupidly: "Don't leave. I, I want to tell you something."

Li Gang lowered his voice, his little face was dusty and covered with dust, "...I had an urgent need to pee last night, and when I came out to pee, I saw that my big head had turned into a scarecrow..."

"Which scarecrow did you become?"

Li Gang waved his hands repeatedly: "It's not the kind in the corn field, it's just..."

Li Gang gestured, but still couldn't explain clearly.

I asked him to take me to see it, but he refused.

"Brother Ari, Big Head is scary! His head is covered with tentacles, like the whiskers of a squid, and his head seems to have been flattened. His mouth is open, and it is full of blades.

I was so scared that I ran home..."

"You came out to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. Why didn't you go to the yard instead of running outside?"

Li Gang opened his mouth, as if it was difficult to speak.

I snorted coldly: "If you don't tell me the truth, I won't play with you anymore!"

"Brother Ari, stop it!" Li Gang was anxious. He looked at me pitifully, his nose dripping down to his chin, and he didn't bother to shake it off.

"I, I tell you, but you can't tell others..."

I nodded.

"I sometimes sleepwalk at night. When I sleepwalk, I can't control my body, but I remember everything that happened.

I saw the village chief and the widow at the east end of the village hugging each other in the cornfield. The village chief's wife discovered them and they started fighting on the spot. The widow's clothes were torn to pieces.

I also saw Ma Xiulian holding a copper basin in her hand and fighting with the goddess. The goddess couldn't beat her, so she wanted to invite the immortal to get on her, but for some reason, the immortal didn't come. The goddess was beaten to the head by Ma Xiulian, and her head was bleeding.

Also, Gong Yiyu stood in front of Laoshu’s mother in the middle of the night, raising his head and talking to Laoshu’s mother..."

"What did she say?"

"I don't know, I couldn't hear clearly. She must have made a wish with Mother Laoshu. I heard that making a wish in the middle of the night is the most effective. Brother Ari, let's go to Mother Laoshu and make a wish too!"

Mother Old Tree, an ancient tree that has lived for an unknown period of time, stands in front of the ghost temple.
