That colorful dream was a scene that Li Yuan was unwilling to recall in his entire life.
What happened in the river that day was a memory that he didn't want to think about for the rest of his life. How terrible was it to relive it in a dream? What's even more frightening is that in the dream he became an audience, and he was forced to look at every detail carefully.
He saw the old village chief's boat beginning to leak, saw the boat capsize, saw himself indifferently not responding to the old village chief's call for help, saw many people not responding to the old village chief, saw people raising their oars fiercely, and finally he saw the old village chief His eyes looked full of despair and resentment, and then were submerged by the waves... .
When he saw that look, Li Yuan wanted to wake up, but he found that he couldn't wake up. It felt like he knew he was dreaming, but he was detained in the dream.
Li Yuan was covered in cold sweat, crying in his heart, when will he wake up!
At this time, the dream turned into darkness, but he could feel that he was in the cold water. In such a dark environment, he could not see anything originally, but Li Yuan knew that there was a mass of water plants and mud there.
He intuitively felt that there was something that frightened him in this mass of water plants and mud, but he just couldn't move his eyes away, as if someone had fixed his gaze.
The surrounding dark water began to become bright but turbid, and the entire river bottom began to bubble and boil... .
Li Yuan felt very scared. He wanted to shout, run, and even wake up, but he couldn't move at all. Then, the ball of water plants began to slowly squirm, as if something was bound under the water plants. Fight desperately to get out.
Li Yuan was about to cry. He shouted desperately in his heart, don't come out, don't come out... He knew that when the thing under the water plants came out, it would be absolutely terrifying and could scare him alive for half of his life. exist.
He had a feeling that the person under the water grass was the old village chief!
Maybe Li Yuan's prayer had an effect. At this time, he suddenly woke up. When he opened his eyes, Li Yuan really cried. The morning sun shone on him, and he felt it was so precious.
A dream, it’s already morning!
His crying woke up his wife. When his wife asked him what was wrong with concern, he didn't want to mention the nightmare again, so he simply said, "I dreamed about my mother," and he cried.
Li Yuan had a deep relationship with his mother, who passed away three years ago.
What Li Yuan didn't know was that he was not the only one who dreamed this dream, but several people in the village had dreamed it, but everyone chose to hide it.
The day passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was night again.
Li Yuan specially brewed strong tea for himself, just to stay up late and go to bed later. As an adult, Li Yuan knows that nightmares may come one after another, but they will eventually pass, and he can just deal with them peacefully.
But that dream was so real, so real that he suddenly felt like he had spent his whole life with the old village chief. Even many details were reappearing, but he still didn't know these details. Therefore, he felt extremely scared and didn't want to sleep, just because he didn't want to dream anymore!
Strong tea is effective. Li Yuan stubbornly sat in the main room reading and stayed up late. At around 11 o'clock, his wife urged him several times to no avail, so he went to bed first, but Li Yuan was still energetic.
But for rural people, the work during the day is heavy, and the effect of even strong tea is not unlimited. By about 2 o'clock in the morning, Li Yuan began to be unable to hold on.
He resisted not wanting to sleep. The deeper the night went, the more he felt that if he slept, the terrible dream would still come again. But when autumn blew into the house with a bit of pleasant wind, he couldn't hold it in after all. He almost slept with his clothes on without even knowing it...
When he fell into a deep sleep, Li Yuan came to the familiar scene again, the bright and turbid water, the boiling river bottom, and the squirming water plants. Only this time, the water plants squirmed even more.
"No, no..." Li Yuan roared in his heart, but it was no use this time!
In his dream, he saw the river water turn blood red in an instant. The blood red color covered everything, including his eyes. When the river water returned to bright and turbidity, he found that the ball of water plants was empty, like a bulging belly. It seemed to be hollowed out and turned into a flat shape.
Did something come out of the water plants? Li Yuan wanted to turn around and look around, but he couldn't move at all. He began to panic and wanted to struggle desperately to get out of the dream.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Are you looking for me?"
This voice is very strange. It cannot be said to be unpleasant, but it makes people feel scared from the bottom of their hearts. In real life, no matter how cold a person's voice is, there is always a hint of emotion, but this voice does not contain any human emotions at all. Pure sound.
What's even more terrible is that the voice, which is originally without any emotion, can still make people feel the hatred that destroys the world. This is terrifying!
"No...no...no...I'm not looking for..." Li Yuan found that he could speak. He was almost crying and shouting.
In the dream, he also wanted to close his eyes, but he couldn't, so he could only open them while being fixed like this.
"You were obviously looking for me just now!" Suddenly, a face appeared in front of Li Yuan, only 1 centimeter away from the tip of his nose.
I saw it. After all, I saw something under the water weeds. It was the old village chief!
But is he really the old village chief? Li Yuan's heart began to beat violently, and his brain went blank due to fear. What he saw was a swollen face, and his facial features could hardly be seen clearly. There were wounds on his face, and the wounds were like strips. The whitish bug lay on the face, but you could see the pink flesh inside.
Li Yuan had seen swollen corpses before, and the river had swallowed up lives when the water swelled in the summer. However, those corpses were almost invisible to the eyes because of the swelling.
But the eyes of the one in front of me were so wide that they almost fell out.
This is the old village chief. Li Yuan has a strong feeling, but isn't it? Unrecognizable facial features.
"Hehehe..." The man in the dream was smiling, and Li Yuan saw that his teeth were shining with cold light, and he actually had four long fangs.
"Ah...ah" Li Yuan, who was finally stimulated and reacted, started shouting in his sleep, but did not respond to him!
"You don't recognize him like this, right?" The person in front of him suddenly said, and then he began to return to normal, no longer like a frothy bun, but after returning to normal, his flesh began to fall off piece by piece.
The man in front of me actually disliked the fact that the meat was not falling off fast enough, so he stretched out his hand and pulled off the meat that was about to fall off, and large areas of silver hair began to grow in the remaining areas.
It's silver, not black, not white!
These short hairs allow people to finally see clearly the human form of the person in front of them. He is the old village chief. There is no doubt that he is the old village chief!
Li Yuan was so frightened in his dream that he began to cry. He burst into tears and cried: "Old village chief, I was wrong, I was wrong, please let me go."
But the old village chief in the dream ignored him at all, and just kept moving his half-rotted body in circles around Li Yuan. This kind of silence, this kind of constant flashing in front of his eyes, was the most annoying thing. Damn it, Li Yuan wanted the old village chief to give him a happy life.
He thought he might as well just die.
At this moment, the old village chief suddenly stopped and smiled sinisterly: "There are still 15 days, 15 days, all these hairs will fall out, just wait 15 days."
Li Yuan was dumbfounded and could only shed tears.
The next moment, Li Yuan came out of the dream. When he opened his eyes, he felt like he was a human being again. He touched his face numbly and found that it was covered with snot and tears.
15 days? Wait until the hair falls out? What's the meaning
Li Yuan has already sensed that things are not simple. Are the dreams still connected? No, definitely not!
He stood up like crazy, ran to the house, then pulled off a piece of cloth and started to clean it up.
His wife was woken up and shouted: "Li Yuan, what are you doing?"
"Pack it up, let's go, we can't stay in this village." Li Yuan shouted urgently.
"Where are we going? Why can't we stay in the village?" At that time, the whole country was not allowed to run around. If you left inexplicably like this, you can imagine what would happen? Then become a beggar!
Such a price would be too heavy, unless there are relatives elsewhere who can seek refuge.
"We really can't stay any longer. There are still 15 days left. Nothing good will happen after 15 days!" Li Yuan shouted.
"What 15 days, can you explain clearly?" Li Yuan's wife was puzzled.
"Old village chief, I saw the old village chief." Li Yuan said with a pale face.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuan's wife's face began to turn pale.
