Chapter 39 Strange Dreams
Nearly an hour has passed without realizing it.
Although the walking speed is very slow, Grandma Zhao is already old, so it is becoming increasingly difficult to walk now.
Fortunately, a post pavilion on the side of the road provided the four people with the opportunity to settle down.
Grandma Zhao kept saying that she was at her age and shouldn't have come out. It would be great to stay in Xiangyang City directly, and coming out would also drag everyone down.
But having said that, she knew in her heart that if she didn't follow her, her granddaughter's filial piety would definitely not follow her out of the city.
Qin said comfortingly: "Grandma Zhao's words are wrong. When the two children get married, there will be no one parent present. Grandma Zhao, you will have to receive Ali's tea."
Grandma Zhao sat on the stone railing of the pavilion and replied, "We are all from poor families, so why don't we care about the etiquette of these wealthy families? In fact, I have to say that in Xiangyang, I just got married. Sooner or later, I'm not going to be the same. And I only have such a granddaughter left now. She has entered such a good family one day earlier, and my old woman will feel at ease one day earlier."
Su Huixue was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak. She leaned against the stone pillar and didn't even dare to look at Xie Li.
Xie Li smiled and said, "Grandma Zhao should take a break earlier. I have been walking for so long today. Not only you, but we can't walk anymore. Let's sleep here for a night tonight to nourish our energy. It's not too late to rush again tomorrow."
Qin also advised: "Ali said it well. We have left the city now, and there are no pursuers behind us. This is the territory of our Jin State, so we don't have to hurry to go. It's better to just walk slowly like this."
Xie Li put his luggage off his back and felt relaxed.
There are not only dry food and clothing here, but also many coins and silks that Zhu Xu gave before he left.
According to Zhu Xu's meaning, in Xiangyang City, these things are useless, so they are quite generous.
Xie Li was a little regretful. Why couldn’t he look the same as Du Ba or Feng Sheng, so that he could recite more...
But even though that was the case, he knew in his heart that it was too difficult to grow up like that, and with the "huge amount of money" in his body, it might not be a good thing, so in the end he stopped just after getting enough.
After simply cleaning the pavilion, Xie Li spread all the clothes of the four of them on it, which made it look thicker to the touch.
Moreover, the other three are thin, so the place to be placed is completely sufficient.
After extinguishing the torch, the three old, middle-aged and young girls went to sleep early. Although it has been less than two hours since they left the city, their tight nerves and long walking have indeed made them too tired.
Xie Li sat on the stone railing, leaning against the stone pillar, and hugged the dagger at his waist in his arms.
In this wilderness, although there are no bandits and evil people, the world is unpredictable, so he dare not let the four people be in a state of unconsciousness at the same time.
And in his heart, the "rustling" sound that almost followed the way has not been clarified yet. Although it is very likely that it is some kind of animal, it has not been seen with his own eyes, so you must not take it lightly at this time.
Fortunately, it is almost late at night now, so it will be fine if you just stay up until the fifth day. Then you can take a nap and then go on the road.
Although there is no moonlight at all, there is no difference between opening your eyes and closing your eyes. Xie Li's eyes remained open like on the road just now.
After all, in these two hours, he also experienced everything they had experienced, and it was even better than them. So his sleepiness was not lower than theirs at all. If he closed his eyes now, Xie Li would be sure that he would be able to fall asleep in a few breaths.
Fortunately, it was not too quiet here, and the chirping of three or two grasshoppers made Xie Li feel much more at ease.
But the sleepiness seemed to come surprisingly quickly. In less than half an hour, Xie Li felt that his entire eyelid could no longer be opened.
Shortly after closing his eyes, Xie Li's consciousness seemed to be in a blur.
Later, it felt like I was already like a dream. I was in a chaotic world, and I seemed to be invisible to see anything except a turbidity.
A voice came faintly: "Who are you? Where did you come from?"
Xie Li subconsciously replied: "I am Xie Li, a native of Xiangyang."
The voice asked flutterly again: "Why are you deceived by me?! Come quickly and come from the real thing, where does it come from?"
Xie Li only felt a strong pressure coming from his mind, and he felt extremely uncomfortable, but he still subconsciously said, "I am Xie Li, a person from Xiangyang, who has never deceived others."
After saying that, the pressure actually subsided like a flood, coming and going quickly.
I heard another voice in my ears, "Oh, you guy's mouth is quite tight."
Xie Li suddenly woke up. The dream just now was too unreal, and he still felt an illusory feeling. However, the oppression put on him in this dream was real, and there seemed to be a hint of cold sweat on his forehead.
Only then did he think of the words in his ear just now, Xie Li's face turned pale, and the surroundings were still pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
This sentence is completely different from the dream just now. It is too real. It seems that someone whispers in his ear, and even the heat coming out can be felt.
"Is it a human... or a ghost..."
Xie Li asked with some trembling... Thinking that something was right beside him, Xie Li's body seemed to have lost control and he couldn't help but tremble.
"Haha... Of course I am a human being, but it's hard to say after a while..."
After hearing the voice, Xie Li's body seemed to return to control, holding the dagger in his arms with both hands.
But after the next sentence came out, Xie Li's hand couldn't help but stop. What does this mean?
The sound seemed to be a little farther away, and then he continued, "Don't take out your short dagger. If you can't see me with your eyes, it's useless to take it out."
"Why can't you see you? Could it be that you are really not a human?"
"Look at your brain that is easy to use, why are you now a fool? It's late at night, without any moonlight, and you can't see me at night, so you naturally can't see me."
Xie Li was stunned after hearing this, thinking that he was just what he said, but after a moment he thought something was wrong, and then asked in a low voice: "Can you see me at night?"
"Haha...that's natural..."
