Floating Corpse
The night gradually darkened, and slowly, only the bright moon was left in the sky. The pale moonlight shone over the entire land, and dew gradually appeared on the cunning grass. On the vast open space, a man and a stone were particularly eye-catching. A gentle breeze blew, and the leaves in the distance made a rustling sound. Yang Shuai Yu found that there was no movement in the forest behind him.
Everything was so strange that Yang Shuai Yu was really a little scared. He did not dare to enter the dense forest, nor did he know what he should do at this time. After feeling the strangeness of the forest behind him, Yang Shuai Yu walked over carefully. He gently shook the trees. One, two, they could indeed move. However, for some reason, the leaves of these trees did not move when the breeze blew.
Yang Shuaiyu tried to walk into the forest. After a few steps, he was worried that he would get lost, so he planned to tear his T-shirt to make a mark. However, when he turned around, he realized that he could no longer see anything outside. Even the huge rock beside him was gone. Feeling strange, Yang Shuai Yu turned around and walked in the direction he had just gone. In just a few steps, Yang Shuai Yu found that the big rock had appeared in his field of vision again.
Standing there, Yang Shuai Yu seemed to have discovered something. He took a step back slightly. As he expected, the huge rock was gone. Yang Shuaiyu had read a lot of fantasy novels. He guessed that there might be a so-called barrier here. Yang Shuai Yu tried several times. Just as he had guessed, he could only see the huge rock under the moonlight when he crossed the boundary.
After Yang Shuaiyu understood this phenomenon, he remembered what Xiangtong had once said." I can clearly smell that the air here is different from the outside. The closer I get to this place, the stronger that special feeling becomes." Thinking of this, Yang Shuai Yu closed his eyes and tried to walk out of the forest using the method Xiang Tong had mentioned. However, he felt for a long time but did not notice the slight difference in the air. Perhaps Xiangtong had smelled too much, Yang Shuaiyu thought.
Yang Shuai Yu retreated back to the empty grassland. He regretted not leaving some marks when Xiang Tong brought him here. Leaning against the boulder, Yang Shuai hugged his body. Gradually, sleepiness invaded his brain.
In his dream, Yang Shuai Yu saw himself standing next to a huge rock. The difference was that he could see the mountain village in the distance at a glance. He was a little excited, but when he opened his eyes, he found that everything had returned to how it was before. It was still a dense forest, and it was still terrifying.
The sky was already slightly bright, but this early summer morning was still a little cold. The breeze also became a little bone-piercing, but at this moment, Yang Shuai Yu felt more hungry than cold. He had come here with Xiangtong after class last night and hadn't eaten. Yang Shuai Yu was a big eater, so he couldn't take it if he didn't eat for such a long time.
Yang Shuai Yu had thought about it. No matter what, he should fill his stomach first. As for going out, good people would always be blessed by heaven.
Yang Shuaiyu quickly descended from the three-to-four-meter-high slope to the river. Such a height and difficulty was nothing to him, who trained every day.
Yang Shuai Yu rolled up his pants and sleeves and picked up a new branch from a tree in the forest next to him. It was only as thick as a mop handle. He was ready to fish himself. Yang Shuai Yu was still able to do this easily. He had liked to catch fish and fish since he was young. He did not expect that his mischievousness at that time would become a life-saving skill now. Yang Shuai Yu smiled helplessly. Perhaps this was really God's will.
The river wasn't very deep. The deepest part was about half a meter. Yang Shuai Yu stood quietly in the water, waiting for his delicious food. Fortunately, he had brought cigarettes and a lighter. Otherwise, Yang Shuaiyu would have to eat sashimi. Yang Shuai Yu, who was standing in the water, had no distractions. He no longer thought about whether he could get out. At this moment, he was completely a hunter.
After more than ten minutes, Yang Shuai Yu still hadn't found his prey. However, he wasn't impatient. Instead, he maintained his posture and prepared for his strongest attack at any time.
After another few minutes, just as Yang Shuai Yu was feeling a little discouraged, the prey finally appeared. A carp about the length of a chopstick was unaware of the danger and continued to swim upstream slowly. Yang Shuaiyu was extremely nervous. After waiting for more than half an hour, he finally welcomed a beautiful moment. Yang Shuai Yu calmed down. He knew that success or failure depended on his attack. Once it missed, today's breakfast might be ruined.
Just as Yang Shuaiyu was ready to insert the branch into the water, the fish suddenly sped up. Yang Shuaiyu watched the fish swim upstream. It swam past his calf, and Yang Shuai Yu's eyes kept watching it swim past. However, when Yang Shuaiyu kept staring at the fish behind him, he realized that the river behind him was red. What followed was a pungent smell.
Yang Shuaiyu saw it. He was so scared that his legs almost went weak. He hurriedly rushed ashore and looked at his legs to make sure that the blood was not his before he looked into the water.
The water turned red. Yang Shuaiyu soon discovered that it was a corpse, a corpse that was still bleeding. Yang Shuai Yu was even more curious. Of course, this was not just curiosity, but also for the sake of his breakfast. A fresh animal carcass was definitely enough for him to eat for a few days. Yang Shuaiyu was hungry and wanted a big one.
Just as Yang Shuai Yu thought, what entered Yang Shuai Yu's field of vision was indeed a big guy. It was a corpse that was about the size of a horse. Yang Shuai Yu was extremely excited. He walked into the water again barefooted. He was ready to pull this " seductive " corpse ashore.
Yang Shuai Yu pulled the corpse's leg with all his might. After spending a few minutes, Yang Shuai Yu finally pulled up the body that was still bleeding.
It was indeed a horse, but what made Yang Shuaiyu feel strange was that it had another feature that Yang Shuaiyu could not explain in addition to its white color. There was a horn on its face that was a little thicker than a thumb. Yang Shuaiyu looked at it and felt that he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where it was at the moment.
Just as Yang Shuai Yu was about to dismember the corpse, he finally remembered that he had never seen such a strange horse before. Instead, he had seen it in a novel-a unicorn. With a pure white body and a unique long horn, wasn't this the unicorn in fantasy novels?
Yang Shuaiyu was stunned. The sharp stone he used to dissect the corpse fell to the ground and almost hit his foot. All of this made Yang Shuaiyu feel a little scared, but also a little excited. He really felt as if he had walked into a fantasy novel. Was I really in a dream? Yang Shuai Yu thought.
Yang Shuai Yu walked to the river. He wanted to use his hands to splash some water on his face to wake himself up. Everything here seemed so desolate, but the fishy smell in the water made Yang Shuai Yu feel that everything was so real. It didn't seem like a dream at all. Yang Shuai Yu touched his face. But if this wasn't a dream, then how did everything in front of him come about? No, it was definitely not an illusion.
As soon as he picked up the water, Yang Shuaiyu's eyes caught a glimpse of something-a corpse. This time, it wasn't an animal's, but a person's. Yang Shuai Yu was so frightened that he sat on the ground. No, in the water. However, his curiosity made him take another look. That's right, it was really a corpse.
The corpse should have been brought here by the water from upstream. It stopped at the bank of the river that was a little messy by Yang Shuai Yu. Yang Shuaiyu found that he could still hear the faint breathing sound of the corpse, so he calmed down and confirmed that it was indeed the faint breathing sound of the corpse.
That's right, it was indeed breathing, and Yang Shuai Yu also saw that the corpse's chest had a faint rise and fall. Yang Shuaiyu hesitated. He didn't know if he should save this corpse sent by the heavens. Oh, no, it was a person. However, Yang Shuaiyu's nature overcame his fear. This time, he didn't even roll up his pants. He walked slowly into the water as if he was afraid of being bitten by a snake.
When he got closer, it was an old woman who was estimated to be in her seventies or eighties. Yang Shuai Yu was even more eager to save her. He had always been a good man who respected the elderly and loved beautiful women. At this moment, he used his last strength to carry the old woman.
Yang Shuai Yu seemed to be used to seeing strange things, so he was no longer so afraid. Even if he saw the so-called 'unicorn', it was as if he did not see it.
The roasted meat was very fragrant, but there were no condiments, so no matter how fragrant it was, it was still difficult to swallow. Yang Shuai Yu had been sitting after drying his clothes, not knowing what to do. Since he couldn't get out, Yang Shuai Yu was too lazy to think about how to get out. He had thought about it. If the heavens let him go out, he would naturally think of a way. Now, deliberately thinking of a way was just futile.
After Yang Shuai Yu forced the water out of the old woman's stomach, he found some dry leaves and grass and placed them under her. The bonfire was beside the old woman, warming her wet body. The old woman did not wake up until night, but her face seemed to have improved. Yang Shuai Yu was relieved.
At night, Yang Shuai Yu ate some tasteless roasted unicorn meat and did 200 push-ups before leaning against a tree as thick as a bowl and falling asleep.
Late at night, Yang Shuai Yu entered a strange dream again…
