In the early morning, the silent dead end also had a glimmer of life, as a few very special birds flew out of the distant jungle.
The little rabbit in his arms was already lying on the grass, eating the grass slowly, and looking back at Ai SiXue from time to time.
At this time, Ai Sixue was elegantly assuming a "big" sleeping position, with one thigh pressed on Ai Siyu's belly.
Ai Siyu looked up at the sky and muttered: "This sky is really strange. The transition between night and day is completed in an instant. The stars in the sky also disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if they were taken back by someone.
."
Since entering this space, there have been countless questions plaguing this curious heart. From the ancient giant at the beginning to the poignant eighteen-winged angel, to the unknown mysterious man.
Now it's that mysterious 'heart' and this strange starry sky. There are too many mysteries and too many unknowns here, but he has never found an answer.
The two of them have to explore forward again. In their minds, only through this space can they return to the outside world and find the lost forest.
"Little rabbit, you can live a good life here! We are leaving. Maybe we will never be able to see each other again in this life."
Sixue put down the little rabbit reluctantly, and the rabbit looked up at her with a puzzled expression on his face.
"Brother, let's go." Ai Si Xue walked forward carelessly. The two of them didn't go far when they noticed that the little rabbit was jumping up and down behind them.
"You go back, I can't take you with me. Besides, I don't know how long I can live, let alone guarantee your safety. If we are destined, we can be friends in the next life."
The little rabbit seemed to understand her words, and circles of crystal tears moistened his blue eyes.
The two of them continued to move forward without stopping, leaving only the little rabbit sitting quietly on the ground. His two front paws were propped on the ground, and he raised his head and looked into the distance. Looking at the two people traveling far away, his eyes were filled with tears.
Rabbit eyes.
The little rabbit seemed to have made a lot of determination and ran towards the two of them quickly. Esxue also turned around at that moment, and the rabbit ran in front of her and jumped up high into her arms.
One person and one rabbit couldn't help crying, but they couldn't help laughing. Maybe this is a kind of fate, a kind of fate between man and rabbit.
But they didn't know that the little rabbit would carry too much of their spiritual sustenance for countless years to come.
Ai SiXue hugged the little rabbit with all kinds of love and chased after Siyu. In her heart, the little rabbit silently occupied the second position.
Along the way, the little rabbit jumped ahead. From time to time he ate a few leaves of tender grass, and sometimes he foolishly pounced on the butterfly in the air, chasing it far away, and came back with a helpless expression on his face.
This made Si Xue laugh. "You silly rabbit, can you catch it? It can fly, can you?" The little rabbit put on an embarrassed expression.
"Little rabbit, you will be called Siyu from now on." Ai Sixue suddenly wanted to give the little rabbit a name, and she was so excited when she thought of this good name that she got carried away.
The little rabbit liked it very much. He nodded happily to show his goodwill. His eyes narrowed with a smile, but after a while he looked at Ai Siyu next to him.
"Sister, how could you give it such a name? If it doesn't sound good, change it to another one!"
"Haha, it sounds nice, let's call it this."
"Comrade Ai SiXue, don't go too far! How can you let a rabbit call me by the same name?"
Ai Siyu's expression began to change, but it seemed to Ai Siyu that the result she wanted to see had not yet been achieved.
"Oh, brother, I didn't think about it that much, I'm so sorry."
"I think you did it on purpose. Why don't you call it Sixue?"
"Brother, look why you are so stingy! Why are you arguing with Rabbit? Since you don't agree, just call me Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu, let's go." After saying that, he picked up Rabbit and walked away, leaving Ai Siyu rolling his eyes.
.
It was not until noon that the group of people had to stop. A ravine more than ten feet long appeared in front of them, but the ravine was too deep to see the bottom.
"Brother, what should we do? Did we go in the wrong direction?"
"Probably not. The direction we entered this space is due north. After entering, we walked along due north. We should be able to get out!" Sixue sat helplessly on a huge rock, making light rain fall.
Ai Siyu walked eastward along the cliff and ran back half an hour later with excitement on his face
"Sister, you have to believe in your brother. Whenever he misses it, let's go. There is a road over there." Ai Si Xue muttered "Don't be ashamed" and walked eastward.
Not long after, a bridge more than two feet wide appeared in front of us.
"I've seen it. The bridge is entirely made of a special kind of metal, and it's covered with a kind of plate that looks like jade but not jade, but not stone. It can fully bear our weight."
"Then let's go." Ai Si Xue walked onto the bridge first, followed closely by Si Yu. Xiao Yu looked at the bridge and then at the other side, and walked hesitantly at the end.
As soon as Ai Siyu stepped onto the bridge, he felt that the chaotic clear current in his body was constantly surging and began to circulate along the meridians. The lacrimal glands in his eyes secreted tears uncontrollably.
As he continued to walk forward for more than ten steps, more and more tears were secreted, and he felt that something was quietly draining from his body.
In front of her, Aisue was walking hard in front of her. At this time, she seemed to have suddenly become much weaker.
After walking a few steps, a picture appeared in front of Ai Siyu: it was her mother holding her body and letting out a heartbreaking cry. Her mother's face instantly became older, and the black hair on her head also disappeared one by one.
Turn white.
Ai Siyu saw all this in his eyes, but it felt so real, as if it was happening to him. Looking at all this, the tear glands in his eyes secreted faster, and drops of tears rolled around in his eyes and fell on them.
On the stone slab.
At this moment, he felt something in front of him stopping him from moving forward, and he was constantly afraid of hitting his feet.
Ai Siyu returned to reality from the scene in front of him. He lowered his head and saw Xiaoyu hugging him on his lap, with his two front paws constantly trying to avoid hitting him.
The little white rabbit found that he had woken up, pointed at Ai Siyu's eyes with his front paws and then pointed at the ground.
When Ai Siyu lowered his head, he found that his tears fell on the slate and disappeared quickly, as if being eaten by the slate. He looked at the little rabbit in surprise, and the rabbit hurriedly closed his eyes tightly.
Seeing all this, he closed his eyes tightly, and the tears secreted by his tear glands gradually decreased due to being squeezed. As the tears decreased, the scene in front of him disappeared, and his body's strength gradually recovered.
Ai Siyu suddenly understood the weirdness of this bridge. He opened his eyes and saw Sixue walking hard not far away. The little rabbit was constantly afraid of being hit on her legs. But Ai Siyu was too deep in the painting.
, did not wake up from it, and the anxious little rabbit kept screaming.
Ai Siyu stepped forward and shook her awake with great effort. When she returned to reality and saw Siyu, she rushed into his arms and said, "Brother, you are not dead. You scared me to death."
"
"Silly sister, I'm fine. That's just an illusion. Close your eyes now and don't think about anything in your mind. I'll take you out of here."
When their feet stepped off the last stone slab, the two of them collapsed on the ground.
"What the hell is this place? This bridge is too weird."
Ai Siyu complained and looked around. A black stone tablet standing at the head of the bridge attracted his attention. On the stone tablet, he saw two large ancient Chinese characters in red - Bridge of Tears.
After the two and one rabbit took a rest, they continued on the unknown road, which was another arduous journey.
"Brother, there is a lake ahead." Ai Sixue said as she ran towards it, but Ai Siyu was caught up in the scene in front of her.
"Sister, be careful, there might be something weird." Before she could finish her words, she had already run to the lake, picked up a piece of lake water with her hands, and threw it into the air. Drops of lake water fell like rain from the sky.
"Brother, the lake is so clear, with a faint blue light and a crystal luster." Ai Si Xue picked up a piece of lake water and put it into her mouth, "It's so sweet."
Ai Siyu failed to stop him in time from a distance, but in his eyes, everything was a different kind of scenery: a pool of bright red blood glowed with red light, making the surrounding trees look red. Ai Siyu held up a cup
A piece of bright red spread into the air, and drops of blood dripped from the air. Then she put a handful of bright red into her mouth.
He deeply doubted whether there was something wrong with his eyes, and looked at Xiaoyu beside him with doubtful eyes. Xiaoyu nodded as if he understood his mind.
"Did you also see that the lake water is blood red?" The little rabbit nodded vigorously again, with a trace of fear in his eyes.
This lake is more like an artificially developed pool. It is not big, with a length of more than 20 feet and a width of more than 10 feet.
There is a stone bridge built on the lake leading to the other side, and a black stone pavilion is built in the center of the lake, which gives people a sense of terror against the blood-red background.
Ai Siyu stepped on the stone bridge and walked towards the opposite side, while Sixue trotted happily in front.
"Brother, that blue pavilion in front of you is so beautiful against the backdrop of the lake." Ai Siyu held the turquoise ancient sword tightly in his hand and walked forward step by step.
When he reached the end of the bridge, he realized that his clothes were already wet with sweat. Physical and mental exhaustion came over him, and he was even more tired than when he had just walked on the 'Bridge of Tears'.
Looking back, there is still a pitch-black stone tablet standing beside the bridge like the 'Bridge of Tears'. The material of the stone tablet cannot be identified. On it are engraved two large dark red ancient characters of 'Blood Pool'.
It was getting late, and the two of them walked forward quickly. Ai Siyu didn't want to spend the night here.
Lying on the grass at night, looking up at the stars, he didn't have the opportunity he had last night. No matter how he looked tonight, he couldn't see the ancient characters from last night.
The second day
After several hours of traveling, the two of them entered a canyon, where they encountered something special.
Lying on the grass in front was a person, to be precise, a half-corpse with only the upper body.
It seemed that he had been cut off by some sharp blade from the waist down. He had a middle-aged face, black hair scattered on the ground, a slender upper body, and a strong physique. It can be seen that he must have been a stalwart man during his lifetime.
It seems that he suffered too much pain before his death, and now his face is full of painful expressions.
