What does this feel like..." Li Muyuan scratched his head, "It's hard to imagine."
"Even if I were asked to recall it now, I can't describe it," Xiaolan said. "That feeling only appeared for a moment and disappeared quickly."
When Xiaolan was talking, the Taoist priest was looking at the boundless end of the black water, silently meditating.
After a few seconds, he stood up little by little, holding on to the ground.
The Taoist priest frowned and his eyes flickered.
He stared into the distance.
"Taoist Priest?"
Several people didn't know what was going on, but they stood up one after another and followed his gaze to the distance.
There seemed to be some ripples on the calm black water.
"What is that?" Li Muyuan turned around and asked.
Xiaolan knew that Li Muyuan was asking about her without looking. She just shook her head quickly, walked to the Taoist priest, stood on tiptoes and looked into the distance.
The waves of the black water seemed to be approaching them.
"It seems like a person is swimming alone," Luo Jiutian regained his energy and said with squinted eyes, "He is swimming over."
"Could they be the two missing people?" Yi Yao asked.
"Those two people...should be unconscious," the Taoist priest hesitated rarely, "but...it's hard to say..."
"But he shouldn't be a bad person." Xiaolan said.
Several people were attracted by the certainty in her tone.
"Why?" Li Muyuan asked, "Did you feel something?"
"Ah? No, I don't feel it..." Xiaolan waved her hands repeatedly and said awkwardly, "If he was a bad guy, he shouldn't have to swim all the way here. If we want to run, wait for him to swim over.
We ran away long ago."
A very simple reason.
But it's actually very logical.
"Then... should we help him?" Luo Jiutian said, "Looking at the way he swims, it seems that he is really struggling."
"It's better not to do it yet," the Taoist priest shook his head and said, "Let's watch the fun first."
"Oh well."
Luo Jiutian didn't insist at all. Just like this, the group stood neatly in the shallows, staring intently at the figure swimming desperately.
That person is getting closer and closer.
The first guess was confirmed - first of all, it was indeed a person and not something else.
Slowly, they heard the man's voice.
It's like calling for help.
Occasionally mixed with one or two insults...I wonder if I heard it wrong...
Moreover, it seems to be...
"It seems to be a woman." Li Muyuan said.
Xiaolan's eyes grew bigger and bigger.
It is indeed a woman's voice.
Moreover, it was a voice that was extremely familiar to me.
Suddenly, Xiaolan trembled and jumped forward.
"Sister Xiaoyin!" Xiaolan ran wildly and shouted to the people behind her who had not yet reacted, "That's Sister Xiaoyin!"
***
Xia Hua was woken up by Zhou Ye.
"Sister Xia Hua! Sister Xia Hua!..."
Zhou Ye's voice seemed to squeeze in from the gap in dreams, lingering around Xia Hua's ears, and finally put an end to Xia Hua's messy dream.
When Xia Hua opened her eyes and saw Zhou Ye's face, she was startled.
She thought she saw a skeleton.
Zhou Ye saw that she had woken up, and two lines of clear tears welled up in his deep-set eyes. He cried and smiled, and helped Xia Hua up with difficulty.
Xia Hua calmed down, panted and looked around.
The scene around her remained unchanged. Xia Hua no longer expected any changes here. As soon as she closed her eyes and opened her eyes, the world around her changed. Such a good thing must really only be seen in dreams.
"Those things...have disappeared..." Zhou Ye's voice was filled with air, as if his throat was leaking air, "Sister Xia Hua...you are so powerful, so powerful...
"
Xia Hua put her hand on the center of her chest, nodded in shock, "That's good, just disappear..."
Then, Xia Hua's eyes fell on Zhou Ye's face. She tried to recall it. After successfully extracting the contents of her memory, she was shocked again.
"Zhou Ye, how did you become like this?"
Xia Hua held Zhou Ye's face with both hands. The bony face was like an ice cube of a human face. It was so cold that Xia Hua almost instinctively retracted her hands.
"I...I'm fine..." Zhou Ye smiled again. It was better not to smile. When he smiled, his face looked even more pitiful, "Sister Xia Hua, let's continue..."
"How could you be okay?" Xia Hua could no longer remember what Zhou Ye looked like when she first met him, but at least when she passed out, Zhou Ye's face still looked human, "You...are
Those weirdos haven’t completely disappeared, have you been attacked?”
"No, none of it..."
Zhou Ye just smiled and shook his head. His smile was calm and lazy, which made Xia Hua feel angry and distressed. She almost yelled, "Stop laughing!"
"You...tell me the truth..." Xia Hua suppressed her excitement and lowered her eyes and said, "Is there something wrong with your health?"
"Sister Xia Hua..." The crying on Zhou Ye's face defeated the smile again, "I just hope you can leave here..."
"Let's get out of here together," Xia Hua corrected his wording, "We can definitely do it."
Zhou Ye pursed his lips and his chin trembled weakly twice. He looked into Xia Hua's eyes and shook his head vigorously.
"What do you mean?" Xia Hua felt a splitting headache and was about to lose the ability to think. "Don't you want to leave?"
"I can't leave," Zhou Ye closed his eyes, two strings of tears crawled across his rugged cheeks and fell on the back of Xia Hua's hand, "This is true...Sister Xia Hua, you have to remember what I told you.
secret."
Although Xia Hua was exhausted, she did not forget that whisper.
"I haven't forgotten," Xia Hua's tone softened, "Zhou Ye, I now completely regard you as my biological brother."
Zhou Ye covered her face and cried out.
Xia Hua held his shoulders and let him lean on her shoulders.
"So..." Xia Hua continued, "I hope you can tell me everything you know."
Zhou Ye's sobs slowly stopped.
Xia Hua didn't stop, she tilted her head slightly and said softly, "You still have a secret, right?"
Zhou Ye remained motionless, with only warm breath beating on Xia Hua's shoulders in waves.
"Tell me," Xia Hua's words sounded like an order, "Tell, tell, me."
Zhou Ye gently pushed Xia Hua's arms, using the force to straighten up.
"I have one last secret."
really!
Xia Hua's lips trembled with excitement. She knelt on the ground, grabbed Zhou Ye's arm and said urgently, "Say it quickly."
"I can't leave here..." As he spoke, the last trace of blood on Zhou Ye's face seemed to disappear, "It's because I belong here..."
