She fell asleep in a daze and had a dream.
In the dream, she saw a man in an old military uniform. He seemed to be in his twenties, but she could not see his face clearly. He sat alone in the lobby of the inn to rest, a trace of melancholy hanging between his brows.
On the other side of the counter, a tall woman in green was talking to the shopkeeper. There were a few fat middle-aged men standing beside her. Seeing that she was good-looking, they deliberately teased her,"Young lady, your accent is so rustic. I can tell that you're from the countryside of Yu Country.”After saying that, the few of them laughed out loud.
The green-clothed woman looked at them and her face turned red. She did not say a word. After explaining to the shopkeeper, she returned to the young man's side without saying a word.
"What's wrong? Why is your face so ugly?" The young man was originally thinking about something. Seeing her like this, he asked in confusion.
"I want to go home." She said in a low voice. She was just a country girl and was not worthy of him.
The young man was stunned for a moment, then held her hand and said,"Haven't we already been engaged? Why did you suddenly go back on your word?"
The woman gritted her teeth and did not say anything in the end. The fat men were still whispering to each other, saying that it was a pity for her to run out with a hooligan soldier who had nothing.
The man finally came back to his senses and understood what was going on. He stood up and was about to find trouble with those people.
However, the green-clothed woman held him back tightly, afraid that he would suffer alone, and refused to let him go.
"Wait for me here." He said calmly and was about to pry her hand away.
"Don't go, come back!" she shouted, pulling him back.”
"I'm fine. Don't worry." he comforted.
"Don't go!" As she shouted, she saw that he was being chased by many people. In the wilderness, there were many corpses on the ground. The people behind him were all holding long swords and spears, staring at him like tigers eyeing their prey. They were determined to kill him!
She felt despair in her heart as she cried out miserably,"Run, run! He had to survive and get out alive!”
The man seemed to be tired and did not want to escape anymore. He took a bag off the horse's back and gently wiped away the blood on the outside. He dug a hole under his body and put the bag in obediently. Then, he covered it with soil layer by layer with his hands!
"Hurry up and leave! Hurry up and leave!" She looked at his actions and felt extreme despair!
"Hurry up and leave!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, feeling as if her heart was about to be torn into pieces.
However, the man turned a deaf ear to her and drew a long sword from his body. The woman watched his actions and tears of blood slowly flowed out of her eyes.
"Don't be like this!" Her voice was low as if she was crying and pleading," Don't be like this. Live on. You still have a chance…"
"Don't be like this, I beg you! Survive…"
A smear of blood dyed the riverside red at dusk. The sound of the wind was accompanied by the woman's low sobs and laments. Then, it gradually quieted down, leaving only a distant whimper.
……
Yun Zhao sat up from the bed. It was already dusk outside the window.
She stared blankly at the blood-red sunset and sunset glow outside the window. Her eyes were blank, as if she had yet to come back to her senses.
"Where are you going? Do you have a fever?" A voice interrupted her, then reached out to touch her forehead.
Yun Zhao turned around and realized that it was Lin Yu and Jiang Ying. It was Chen Chen who was talking while Jiang Ying was touching her forehead.
"Are you alright? You slept for a long time. I was so worried.”Chen Chen said.
Yun Zhao took a while to recover from his emotions. She shook her head and said,"I'm fine. I just had a nightmare."
"What kind of nightmare scared you so much that you've been talking nonsense all afternoon! You're shouting and crying." Chen Chen said.
"Is that so?" Yun Zhao was a little surprised."I didn't say anything strange, did I?"”
"That's not true. I just kept saying to leave quickly. Leave quickly. Where are you going? I was scared to death by you." she said.
Yun Zhao heaved a sigh of relief.
"Go down and eat something. You've slept for an entire day.”Jiang Ying said.
Yun Zhao felt that he was indeed hungry, so he got out of bed and followed them down to eat.
"You're finally awake." The auntie said happily when she saw that she was awake.
She did not have much of an appetite, so she took a few bites.
After dinner, it was already dark. The auntie said,"It's so late, don't go back. Go back tomorrow morning. You can't go without someone watching you. If you make a scene in your dormitory in the middle of the night, you'll scare someone to death!”
"You almost scared me to tears this afternoon.”Chen Chen looked at her and said aggrievedly.
"I'm sorry." Yun Zhao lowered his head and said. She didn't know that this would happen.
"It's fine. Just apply some more medicine. It should be fine tomorrow.”After Jiang Ying finished speaking, he took some medicine and applied it on her.
Yun Zhao looked at Jiang Ying, who was applying medicine for her, and had a strange feeling in his heart. She couldn't help but stare at him in a daze.
"Does it still hurt?" Jiang Ying asked her as he wiped his face. When he met her gaze, he was slightly stunned.
"What's wrong? Why are you in a daze?" he said.
"I'm fine. I'm just a little dizzy." she said.
"It'll be fine tomorrow. Don't worry." he said.
Yun Zhao nodded obediently. After applying the ointment, Lin Yuchen went back to her room to play on her computer when she saw that she was finally fine.
Yun Zhao felt a little stuffy after sleeping for a day and wanted to go out for some fresh air, so he went out to the courtyard alone to get some fresh air. After walking for a while, she felt a little weak, so she sat down on the swing in the courtyard.
The moonlight was very beautiful at night, spilling down like water.
Only when there was no one around did she relax. The melancholy dream from that afternoon surfaced in her mind again, and that sad emotion firmly occupied her heart.
She sighed slightly, a little low. Although she didn't understand what the dream was about, the strong emotions gathered in her heart, as if it had stabbed her heart with a knife.
She sat alone for a while to ease her depressed mood and planned to go back. Just as she turned around, she was shocked. There were definitely figures standing behind her, so scared that she thought she had seen a ghost!
"Don't be afraid, it's me." the man said in a low voice.
She looked under the moonlight and realized that it was Jiang Ying.
"You scared me to death." Yun Zhao patted his chest and said.
"I'm sorry. It was a little late, so I came out to see you.”
"Oh, oh, it's nothing. I was just about to go back. The moonlight here is pretty good.”She gave him a relaxed smile and stood up to leave.
Jiang Ying did not move.
"Aren't you leaving yet? The ghost will come later." Yun Zhao said with a smile, trying to scare him.
"You're talking about yourself. Hiding here alone in the middle of the night, it would be strange if Aunt Wen passed by and didn't scare her crazy.”
"Is that so?" Yun Zhao said. She was a little strange, at least in the eyes of many people. Many students said that she was inexplicably scary.
Perhaps it was because of her unusual behavior that anyone who saw her hiding in a dark place would think twice.
"I'm sorry." She said apologetically," Sorry for the trouble.”
"Don't mention it. Go back and rest early.”He sighed slightly.
Yun Zhao and Chen Chen walked in silence. They did not say anything else. When they returned to the house, Chen Chen was still playing games.
Yun Zhao casually washed up and went to bed. The next morning, she felt much better.
After breakfast, Yun Zhao found that the group asked them to continue practicing basketball at school today. Those who didn't go yesterday should try their best to go today.
Yun Zhao saw the message Lu Yunhe sent her yesterday, asking why she wasn't practicing.
Yun Zhao thought about it but didn't reply in the end. She suddenly felt that she had gone crazy at that time. Why did she add someone else?
Before they left, Aunt Wen gave them two big baskets filled with cherries.
"I picked it this morning." She smiled and said," It's fresh.”
Yun Zhao looked at her gratefully and thanked her repeatedly. She was embarrassed to trouble others like this.
"It's not a big deal. Come back next week. I'll pick them for you and bring them back for your classmates to eat. These things go bad very quickly. They'll be out of season in two or three weeks.”Aunt Wen said sincerely.
Yun Zhao and Chen Chen looked at each other. They could not make a second trip.
The two of them followed Jiang Ying back to school and brought Cherry back to the dormitory to share with their roommates.
"You said you'd bring me food, and you really did!”Xie Lin said happily as she looked at Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao smiled at her and didn't say anything. He just silently ate the cherries. As expected, they tasted similar to when she was young.
After eating for a while, her phone suddenly vibrated. Yun Zhao looked at it and saw that someone had added her.
She opened the message and realized that it was just a black profile picture. There was no nickname or signature.
She hesitated for a few seconds and accepted the request. The person added her without saying anything or greeting her.
Yun Zhao put his phone back, not worried.
In the afternoon, they started to practice again.
This time, it was just the students in the class. When they practiced until the afternoon, Yun Zhao felt dizzy, so he went back to the dormitory to rest.
