Chapter 005: Where Am I?
Ancient lanterns, ancient paintings, ancient screens
Only now do I see clearly the courtyard in which I find myself
At that moment, Yan'er did not even want to glance at Yuan Jun, and directly pulled me towards the round door to the south
The 56-style San Suo dagger, which has not tasted blood for thirty years, is once again stained with blood on its hilt
"The siheyuan, the ancient kind, really resembles it, but who changed our clothes? Also, my underwear is missing too," Yan'er said to me in a low voice, her face flushed.
At this moment, I find myself in a courtyard reminiscent of ancient times, yet each room is constructed of wood and coated with a dark red tung oil.
"Did you encounter anything unusual when it rained after school yesterday?" I suddenly recalled that yesterday, Yan'er and I were stared at by a creature in the sky that resembled a dragon, and then a message appeared in our minds. Following that, such strange events occurred. Could there be a connection? So, I inquired with Yuan Jun.
Ah! Only after Yan'er mentioned it did I realize that I was wearing only a pair of pants, and underneath, I was completely bare.
I am wearing a white nightgown, but it appears to be of an ancient Chinese style.
Kneel, kneel down! I shouted at the two of them, trembling with anger
I should be at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, holding a Type 56 three-barreled dagger, stabbing that white-haired punk who broke my arm a week ago
Creak!
This courtyard faces south and consists of a main house to the north and wing rooms on the east and west sides. Just now, I was sleeping in the wing room to the west of the * picture * book, while Yan'er was sleeping in the wing room to the east.
At that time, I was sleeping on my bed at home, and then I suddenly felt my body lift off the ground. Next, it seemed as if a yin-yang symbol appeared in the sky, and it sucked me in. I initially thought I was dreaming, but when I woke up, I found myself here. " Yuan Jun recalled while speaking to me.
Thump! Thump!
Hey! Wait for me! Where exactly is this? Wang Li." Yuan Jun caught up with Yan Er and me in just a few steps, then asked me again.
Then I fainted
What is going on? Yuan Jun's account is exactly the same as the memory in my mind, except that Yan'er and I were drawn into the Yin-Yang diagram at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, while Yuan Jun was merely in bed. As I listened to Yuan Jun's narration, I was taken aback, wondering what exactly had happened to us
The two individuals, whether out of fear or due to their trembling legs being unable to support their bodies, actually knelt down.
At this moment, the white-haired man on the ground had stopped wailing; excessive blood loss had caused him to go into shock. Perhaps in a few minutes, he would truly be dead.
At the same time, I suddenly sat up
Wang Li! Yan'er is also walking towards me barefoot
"Are we captured by that creature?" After hearing Yuan Jun's words, a huge question mark popped up in my mind
Yan'er, holding three刺 in my hands, lay in a pool of blood, barely alive, while the white-haired figure knelt beside me, trembling in fear, along with two other boys.
"Wang Li, where is that?" Yan'er asked me while grabbing my arm, her eyes scanning the surroundings.
Creak! I have opened the door to the room
What should I do next? This is the only line of text playing repeatedly in my blank mind
It was only after one minute that the emotions between Yan'er and me calmed down
Ah! How has my arm healed? I swung my left arm a bit, looking astonished, as I just realized it myself
The scene from that time has finally come back to my mind
Yaner, Wang Li, are you two here as well? Where is this place? Yuan Jun, who had initially looked completely bewildered, seemed to have found his bearings when he saw me and Yaner outside the room, and he shouted loudly at both of us.
Let's go, we will go outside and take a look! I took Yan'er by the hand and walked towards the outside
Yuan Jun was still chattering on about his experiences from yesterday, and this foolish donkey actually thought others were playing a prank on him, completely disregarding that remark. The next morning, he continued to sleep soundly in bed, but after waking up, he also appeared here
Yuan Jun also wore a set of white pajamas identical to mine and walked out of the room.
I have killed! I closed my eyes, allowing darkness to completely invade my thoughts
The fish in the pond suddenly leaped up, splashing a spray of water
I woke up from a dream and looked around the room, which was adorned with antique charm and a scholarly atmosphere, resembling a bedroom from a historical Chinese drama.
I hurriedly walked over, still barefoot, as there was nothing in the room from before I lost consciousness
At this moment, Yuan Jun also walked out with a hazy gaze.
This should be a courtyard that is still preserved in a certain area of our city, right? I said to Yan'er, looking around uncertainly
Just as I was holding Yan'er’s hand, intending to walk out through the small round door on the south side to take a look, I heard the main room's door creak open.
Wow! Suddenly, a cry emerged beside me, and then I saw Yan'er, who had been covering her mouth with both hands, burst into tears.
Yesterday after school, I thought for a moment, hmm, I remembered that during the thunderstorm, I didn't know what that fool was saying in my ear, "Tomorrow, at the third watch of the tiger, Qingyun Mountain!" Damn, the third watch of the tiger, I suspect it was that professional high...
I also casually glanced at Yan'er’s chest from the corner of my eye, and indeed, two cherry-like buds were prominently visible
I stand alone at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, holding the 56-style triangular刺, engulfed in a sense of helplessness and uncertainty
Bang
I felt as if I had been swept up by something, and then I heard the sound of rushing wind by my ear. Suddenly, a yin-yang symbol appeared in the sky, and in an instant, it sucked my body inside.
Ah! How is it you, Yuan Jun? Yan'er and I turned around to look back and saw a young man coming out from the main building to the north. It was our classmate, the sports class leader, Yuan Jun.
Where am I
At this moment, the door to the room on the east side was also opened, revealing a face filled with terror before me
Yaner!" Yaner called out as I walked out of the room to the east
"Yan'er? Yan'er? Are you there?" I called out, while my eyes scanned the surroundings.
log cabin, wooden bed, wooden chair
Rolling, the body keeps rolling, and Yan'er’s screams continuously echo in my ears
However, the girl crying beneath Qingyun Mountain, the boy holding a 56-style triangular dagger, the dying white-haired figure, and the two boys kneeling beside and weeping, have all vanished at this moment, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground, indicating what had just transpired here
And in the next moment, the wind ceased, the dark clouds dispersed, and Qingyun Mountain was once again bathed in the morning sunlight
Where am I? I shook my head and then patted my forehead with my hand, recalling in my mind.
"How did you end up here?" I retorted to Yuan Jun.
The ground of the courtyard is paved with stone slabs, and in the center lies a pond. Within the pond, a lifelike rockery stands, with a gentle stream flowing from between the rocks, adding a touch of vitality and dynamism.
My memory has finally returned to my mind, allowing me to recall the events that occurred before my coma
At this moment, I noticed that Yan'er was wearing a set of ancient-style pink clothing, and I hurriedly glanced at my own attire.
... ...
I am also striving to suppress the spasms in my body, forcing myself to appear a bit more composed. However, at this moment, my legs are completely immobile, and my hands are shaking severely
"Wang Li, quickly call 120, he, he, he can't hold on any longer, hurry, hurry, hurry." Yan'er tugged at my clothes and said to me
Time is momentarily frozen here. Then a fierce wind suddenly rises, followed by dark clouds surging in the sky. The summer sky, which had been bright, darkens in the blink of an eye, rendering visibility to zero.
Why do you force me? Why do you bully me? Why push me to the extremes? Will I face legal consequences? Society is a contradiction; I do not want to kill! I do not want to kill!" I shouted loudly in my dream
"Yuan Jun, how did you come here?" I asked Yuan Jun.
"Hmm? Wang Li, where is the cast on your arm?" Yan'er immediately noticed that the cast on my arm was missing
Since Yuan Jun abandoned Yan Er and left alone last week, both Yan Er and I have not been fond of him. At this moment, both of our faces are cold, especially Yan Er, who displays a look of disdain towards Yuan Jun.
A beautiful girl, crying, was shaking a boy holding a Type 56 bayonet. The boy also appeared pale, with a somewhat dazed expression, looking utterly bewildered. On the ground lay a boy with bleached hair, already on the verge of death, blood pooling around him. Two half-grown youths kneeling nearby were also frightened and began to cry.
I opened the gauzy bed curtains and then walked barefoot on the floor. Fortunately, the floor of this room is wooden, so it doesn't feel too cold
