Last night's dream was sweet
The strong wind was accompanied by heavy rain, and the rain seemed to be mixed with ice and snow, which left purple marks on the body and was a little painful.
He wasn't sure whether he was calm or not, but he just stretched out his hand, trembling, and held his mother's pale cheek.
His tears and his mother's tears mixed together in the rain. No one could tell what was falling before their eyes, or there was no need to tell.
Because heavy rain will find a suitable excuse for all the messes and cover up the truly embarrassing things with a layer of film.
These two minutes seemed so long that Fu Linyuan wondered if they had already passed.
Because of the rain, his mother's face felt a little cold, her body temperature had been lost. But he was shielded by her body, so although he got a little wet, it was okay.
He waited patiently for a long time, but the expected scene never appeared.
So, even though his eyes were still covered, he still tried to gaze at his mother with longing, eager to depict his mother's appearance with his eyes.
Just like the evening sky always wants to retain the sunset.
He tried to find some opportunity to break the deadlock, or to seize the time to experience the warm moments between parents and children that could not last forever.
He didn't know if this mother was real or fake, a monster's illusion or a vision from the past, or if she was completely fake. He knew nothing, just like the unknown symbolized by the ghost clan.
"Mom." This word seemed a bit awkward for some reason, and he thought about it three or five times in his mind before calling it out.
Perhaps it was because he had been away from his mother for too long, hundreds of years. He could no longer remember what his mother looked like, nor how gentle her voice was.
Even her name was blurry.
"Lin Yuan, Mom loves you." The voice was so soft that he was not even sure if it came from his mother.
All he knew was a broad hand stroking his head, and then it gradually disappeared.
There was no dull thud of a head hitting the ground as I remembered, nor was there the pain of a child's body being crushed to the ground.
The scene in front of me is no longer pitch black. Looking up, I can see a bright moon and a few scattered stars.
This was strange, because logically speaking, such calmness was impossible. Unless there was some undercurrent lurking in the calm, waiting for him to fall into a trap.
He did not let his guard down. Fu Linyuan looked around nervously, thinking rapidly about what would happen next.
Suddenly, nine young faces appeared in the distance. They were bold and lively. They jumped up and waved happily at him.
"Fu Linyuan, where did you go just now? We couldn't find you."
His heart inexplicably felt at peace.
In fact, the unknown is not necessarily dangerous.
Although sometimes he is sent back to the past along the timeline, sometimes he is thrown into a terrifying future that he is not sure whether it will happen, and sometimes dangerous creatures from some unknown world suddenly appear.
But, it seems that sometimes he is given special surprises.
He took two steps forward and started running, heading towards his friends.
"I'm coming!"
.
Fu Linyuan woke up and realized that he was not reliving the childhood events outside the house.
He laughed at himself, no wonder good things happened to him in the end. The world was never very kind to him, was it?
After casting a simple cleansing spell on himself, he finally realized that his friends were gathered around him, feeling awkward and uncomfortable, so he pulled the quilt over his head.
A dull voice uttered, "Why are you all looking at me? What time is it? Go to bed!"
"Are you okay?" Everyone was worried.
"What could possibly happen to me? I've set up a magic circle in the house, so it's safe. It was just a nightmare."
After Fu Linyuan finished speaking, he refused to speak again when asked. He buried himself in the quilt, thinking that he might not be completely unloved, and gradually fell into a deep sleep.
The others were afraid of disturbing his sleep by going to bed, and were also afraid that something might happen to Fu Linyuan if they were too far away, so they simply took two coats from their space rings and lay down on the floor around a small wooden bed that was 1.5 meters long.
It was a sweet and pleasant dream tonight.
He slept through the night, letting the rare bright sunshine of the next day arrive, its warm rays first shining on Jinghong's face beside the bed.
Everyone woke up feeling refreshed, and no one spoiled the mood by mentioning Fu Linyuan's abnormal behavior last night.
He himself would not even mention that the nightmare had turned dangerous and he was in a good mood at the moment.
What is even more gratifying is that a group of people packed up and went out to find food. After walking a few steps, they met someone who looked familiar.
Everyone immediately put on various protective measures and stared at her with ill intentions.
The woman seemed surprised that they had returned from the Magic Forest unharmed and were standing before her.
“You…they…”
The students' fists were clenched so hard that they made crackling sounds.
Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. Isn’t this what happened?
This woman wasn't too strong, at least not as strong as Wu Jiaer. This time, she was on guard again.
Yan Ning thrust his sword forward, and the woman tried to dodge to the left, but Fu Linyuan blocked it tightly to the left, ensuring that she could not escape at all.
They were able to easily resolve the woman's attacks, and nothing unexpected happened.
But after catching the person in no time, everyone was in trouble again - what to do with him?
Should I kill him?
Yan Ning thought for a moment and asked Fu Linyuan, "How should we deal with this? Do you have a place like a police station?"
"It would be nice if there was one," Fu Linyuan shrugged, thinking that Yan Ning was probably not too cruel. "No, our main theme is that life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God. It doesn't matter."
"There are people in the Wuji Empire who are in charge of this. They posted the fake mission there, so they might take care of it." Hua Shaoqing said considerately.
Yan Ning praised: "We humans are indeed a race that practices the law. That's right."
They moved quickly, and perhaps because of what they were thinking, they walked out of the Nether Valley in just two steps.
Send the person away, get a satisfactory answer and walk out the door.
I happened to see the task point I came from, and found that although there were no new tasks, there were many more messages on each of the old ones.
Childcare tasks:
PS: Avoid this one, this so-called kid is ten times bigger than me.
Second addendum: The heights of the people upstairs are also abnormal. I saw at least thirty of them who are as big as me.
2. Garbage throwing task:
PS: Dude, you're too lazy, aren't you? You've got two space rings full of junk and you're asking me to take it out for you. You're crazy! I went straight to the dump and couldn't finish it all.
PS: The above person is fine, luckily you accepted the task quickly. When I accepted this task, I had five space rings of garbage, which filled up three garbage dumps.
3P.S. There is no need to criticize, it’s not like there is no reward, and the task is very simple.
4. P.S. Is the person above the one who posted the task? Look at how much you are paid???
3. The Nether Valley Elopement Incident:
PS: Don’t take this mission, it’s for human traffickers.
PS: Don’t answer it, he’s a murderer.
There were a lot of messages on the third day. When I looked down, I saw reminders all the way not to accept the tasks.
Yin Zian sighed, "It seems that even if peace is generally achieved, the mission will not be easy to accomplish."
As he spoke, he added a message to this task.
The students then added a few words of their own, adding a lot of content to it.
I didn't expect that the matter would be resolved so quickly. There was nothing to do at the moment. In order to cheer Fu Linyuan up, everyone suggested going to the floating island.
But Fu Linyuan pondered for a moment and said, "I still have something I want to do."
He didn't say what it was and no one asked.
He led everyone to a mountain, took a detour, and stopped at a tombstone without any words on it.
It looked as if no one had ever taken care of it. The monument was covered with moss and had a cracked corner. The broken pieces had probably fallen to the ground and weathered into the soil.
It looks quite desolate.
Fu Linyuan was always casual and hadn't prepared anything, not even knowing what to prepare. He didn't believe in these things anyway, so he simply took out his school uniform and threw it in front of the monument.
He took two steps forward and knelt down, his fingertips caressing the fine cracks on the stone tablet.
"This is the tombstone of my mother, my father and me." Fu Linyuan introduced to everyone.
"You?" Everyone was surprised.
"I wasn't born a ghost. I became a ghost after I died as a human under the guidance of the Nether Valley."
It would probably take them some time to get used to such a passage, so Fu Linyuan reserved the time for himself and this small stone tablet.
He looked unusually gentle at this moment, his dark purple hair fluttering in the wind, a little messy, but not a problem.
He whispered, "Mom, I dreamed of you yesterday."
"Ever since peace was made, I found an opportunity to drag both of our bodies here and bury them together with Dad. I have never come to see you again because I knew you were definitely gone."
"But last night, I felt like you were there again."
"Actually, you don't have to come. I cherish my second life very much and I'm living it well. Even though I'm a ghost, I'm now an adult."
"This uniform belongs to the school I'm attending now. As far as I can remember, I was almost of school age before we died. Even after becoming a ghost, I haven't been to school. School is annoying, the teachers are long-winded, and the exams are difficult. But it's not a big problem."
"Anyway, I'll leave this dress with you as a souvenir. You might like it."
Listening quietly to Fu Linyuan's confession, Yinhe's children couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
They thought about their families, whom they might only see once in many years, and they were often apart.
The friends I once made, the classmates I once hated, and the teachers I once feared have all left with time.
Although for them, it was only a week or two.
After that, the relationship and friendship between them became increasingly weaker, and it was inevitable to feel sad when revisiting the homeland, so they rarely returned to Yinhe.
Anyway, you will naturally go home after you finish your studies, right?
As their relatives pass down through the generations, they may gradually lose track of who is truly their own descendant. Consequently, their concerns shift from those around them to the world at large.
But at least at this moment, the children looked at the tombstone silently, perhaps thinking in unison: "Dad, Mom, I miss you so much."
