White Fence Dream

Chapter 141 Now
Zhuang Li sat up straight.

The dream that I saw of Mrs. Zhuang before was fake!

In other words, it has been transformed.

Sure enough, all dreams that have been manipulated and modified will reveal their original appearance in the dreamless state.

Who is this person?

He can actually modify dreams. Is he also a monster?
Also, the dream was a real reflection. He knew Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang, or in other words, he was there when she was treated?

As his thoughts raced through his mind, the strange man in the mirror looked excited.

"Zhuang Feizi - she has taken shape, quickly pull her in -"

Mr. Zhuang's body trembled, and bright red flames rose from the three soul lamps.

Mr. Zhuang's body became more and more transparent, and his whole body became weak. He staggered into the thick fog.

The thick fog gradually dissipated, and the figures in the woods became clearer.

The woman appeared again, just like the one in the previous dream, standing with her head lowered and her long hair hanging to the ground.

"Mian'er——"

The strange man yelled.

The woman with her head down raised her head.

"Zhuang Feizi——" the man shouted, "Turn off the lights——"

The three soul lamps in Mr. Zhuang's hands swayed, and three snake-like flames stretched out and entangled the woman. At the same time, the thick fog behind him also surged, trying to hold the woman tightly.

However, this time, Zhuang Li saw a strange shadow in the thick fog. It was... a horse.

The horses galloped, occasionally raising their heads and neighing silently.

It seemed to break through the thick fog, but was instantly swallowed up by the fog.

But the next moment another shadow emerged from the thick fog, this time it was... a fish.

The thick fog was like the deep sea, it kept jumping, jumping up and being pulled into the thick fog, and then jumping up again the next moment.

The fish that fell into the deep sea became silent.

But soon, birdsong was heard in the thick fog, and a skylark flew out, shuttling through the swirling fog like lightning.

Rushing towards this side again and again.

As it got closer and closer to the woman in white, the snake-like flame also cast a layer of light on it.

But perhaps because of its small body, thin wings, and no rope to pull it, the thick fog came over and swept it back.

Even so, the thick fog did not quiet down. In the blink of an eye, shadows appeared again, birds and beasts appeared alternately, and kept rushing out of the thick fog, again and again, one after another.

Zhuang Li looked at this scene and suddenly laughed.

She remembered.

Those shadows are all her.

Earlier in Mrs. Zhuang’s dream, she said, “Ah Li wants to be with his father and family more.”

This is wrong.

She came to see her father in a dream, wanting to save everyone. How? At the execution ground, she made the officials and soldiers go crazy, so that her father and family could escape...

"What nonsense! You are driving yourself crazy." My father was both angry and amused. "Can you drive the officers and soldiers here crazy? Can you drive the people watching crazy? Can you drive everyone in the city crazy? Can you drive the entire border army crazy? Can you drive everyone in the world crazy?"

Having said that, he slowly shook his head.

"Ali, even if you can, I don't want you to do this."

"You have been subjected to all kinds of bad words since you were born. I want to see you escape from these bad reputations, not sink into them."

But what else can I do?

She had no other way to save everyone.

"Ali, your ability shouldn't be used to drive you crazy."

"You should live your life. Live well, so as not to waste your life as a human being."

"Go back, back to where you should be."

"Live well, and keep on living."

Her father asked her, touching her shoulder.

"Remember what your father told you? No taboos, no fear."

No taboos, no fear.

Zhuang Li nodded, nodded heavily, then turned and ran, accompanied by the executioner's orders, her father's head being chopped off, and her relatives wailing behind her, with blood flowing like a river.

Of course it’s not that easy to go back.

Countless nightmare obsessions formed an overwhelming vortex at the moment of death, and she was instantly drawn into it, unable to tell the direction or the past, and was in chaos.

Here she had her mother's embrace that she missed, her sister's annoying nagging, and her father taking her horseback riding.

There were also curses from neighbors and quarrels among clan members.

There is a gentle land created by family affection and kindness, and there are monsters created by fear, grief, anger and resentment.

But she kept her father's words in mind and wanted to go back to where she really was.

She broke away from her mother's warm embrace and turned a blind eye to the smiling faces of her father and brothers.

She pushed away her cursing neighbors and shook off her relatives who tried to pull her away.

He smashed the land of gentleness and raised his sword to chop at the monsters that pounced on him.

She wants to go back.

She wants to live.

She transformed into a galloping horse, a fish swimming in the river, and a bird flying in the sky, rushing towards her reality.

She didn't remember how long she had been trekking, how many times she had gotten lost, or how many times she had been pulled back, but she never stopped, again and again.

Finally I saw light ahead, but it took me a long time to get through.

Besides the pull of the whirlpool, there were people blocking her way.

Damn it, get out of the way!
Accompanied by the sound of a bird's cry, a goshawk rushed out and pounced on us with its claws raised.

A piece of the snake flame wrapped around the woman was snatched away, and the thick fog around her took the opportunity to rush over, instantly wrapping up the woman's figure again.

"Mian'er——" the strange man screamed in anger, "Zhuang Feizi, stop her——"

Zhuang Feizi.

Zhuang Li looked at him and saw pain on his burning face, and the light in his hand was slightly frozen.

His lips moved, silently calling out a name.

The goshawk reappeared, with half of its wings entangled by the thick fog. However, it was still struggling, and continued to pounce on the woman with its ferocious claws. Its other wing struggled desperately, fanning pieces of thick fog towards the snake flame.

The light of the flame dimmed instantly.

"Why is she so fierce!" the strange man shouted, looking at Zhuang Feizi again, "What are you doing? Do you want everyone to be unable to return? Don't you know who is more important?"

Zhuang Feizi watched the thicker and thicker fog caused by the tumbling of the goshawk. Finally, he closed his eyes, raised the three lamps in his hands, and flames rose.

The flames wrapped around the woman in white not only became thicker, but also split into a branch that swooped down on the struggling hawk.

Zhuang Li seemed to hear a crisp snap.

The goshawk entangled in the thick fog was freed and was swept away by the fog with a scream.

Zhuang Li watched quietly, and his hands hanging by his side slowly loosened, as if something was flowing out of his hands.

The flames entangled the woman in white again, and the approaching fog retreated again. Zhuang Feizi swung the bamboo pole hard, and the light pulled the woman to slowly move forward, one step at a time, two steps at a time, and finally one foot stepped out of the fog. "Mian'er, -" The strange man ran over, stood at the edge of the fog, and stretched out his hand to the woman.

The torn dress fluttered as the woman stepped out of the thick fog with one foot, followed by the other foot.

The rubies on it sparkle brightly.

But at the moment she walked out, the light of the ruby ​​was suddenly obscured, and a hand reached out from the thick fog and grabbed the woman's ankle.

The strange man was startled and rushed over to grab the woman in white, while stepping on the hand.

But the hand suddenly turned into a vine, climbing along the woman and instantly covering her.

At the same time, the spirit snake flame pulled suddenly, and the woman covered by the vines was pulled out and bumped into the strange man.

The heaven and earth began to shake.

Zhuang Li just felt dizzy. With his distorted vision, he saw that the vines on the woman who was pulled out of the thick fog had dissipated. At the same time, the face of the woman in white also became blurred.

Although it was blurry, Zhuang Li recognized it at a glance.

That's her.

Zhuang Li smiled.

The next moment, figures crossed each other and she returned to the room.

Mrs. Zhuang and Mr. Zhuang were both there, and the figure standing beside the bed was the strange man.

Zhuang Li stood aside and looked at the woman on the bed.

The white gauze dress was torn into pieces, revealing her bare calves and nothing on her ankles.

There are no rubies.

She looked up and saw the woman's face.

That face was half stranger and half my own.

This time, it was the same as in the mirror. The stranger's face was dull and wooden, while her own half had bright black eyes and a smile on her lips...
There is a noisy sound in my ears.

"It's Li who's back!"

"Then we can only let Ah Li wake up first."

"Okay, Zhuang Feizi, I'll let her live for Mian'er first! Mian'er will wake up!"

Accompanied by the noise, the image in the mirror became increasingly blurred, and finally disappeared, leaving only her sitting in front of the mirror.

Zhuang Li looked at half of his face in the mirror and couldn't help laughing out loud.

The little child next to it was probably frightened by the laughter, or because he saw the two-sided face in the mirror again, he pointed his finger and burst into tears.

"Bad guy——"

The mirror shattered and the ground collapsed.

Zhuang Li suddenly sat up from the bed, and leaned over the edge of the bed with violent coughing. He felt dizzy for a while before he stopped.

She slowly raised her head. The room was dim and there was no Zhou Jingyun beside her pillow.

Zhuang Li got up from the bed, poured himself some tea, held the cup and opened the door. Green light enveloped the sky and the earth.

Although it was still early, according to the rules, the maids would finish cleaning before dawn, the girls would start delivering hot water for washing from the kitchen to each room, and the maids on night duty would also be waiting in the corridor early.

But at this moment, at a glance, the whole courtyard was quiet, as if everyone was asleep.

Including the birds in the trees.

Not only this courtyard, if someone looked down at the Dongyang Marquis Mansion from the air at this time, they would find that the entire mansion was in a deep sleep.

Zhuang Li took a sip of tea and then poured the rest out.

As the tea fell to the ground, something above the courtyard seemed to be broken.

With a rustling sound, the birds perched on the trees and under the eaves were startled and flew away. The barking of dogs was heard in the distance, and then the sounds of people walking and sweeping could be heard in a few scattered lines.

The whole courtyard woke up.

The dream she wanted to explore last night was very dangerous. For safety reasons, she put the entire Dongyang Marquis Mansion into a deep sleep.

In the past, this place was a trustworthy and safe haven for her, so there was no need to use any magic.

Now we have to take every possible precaution.

Zhuang Li felt the biting cold winter wind that suddenly blew over him, turned the empty teacup, and went back into the house.

……

……

Chunyue walked into the room, rubbed her ears with her hands, and looked at Zhuang Li who was sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair.

"It's very cold today," she said.

Chunxiang came out with two maids after tidying up the bedroom: "Two charcoal basins have been added."

Chunhong tied up Zhuangli's hair and inserted a golden hairpin into it.

"Did the young lady sleep well last night?" Chunyue asked with a smile.

Zhuang Li nodded, as if thinking for a moment: "I had several dreams." He smiled again, "Fortunately, it was a good dream in the end."

Chunyue and other maids all laughed: "It's a good dream."

There were footsteps outside the door, mixed with the maids' greetings of "Prince", and Zhou Jingyun walked in wrapped in coldness.

The maids in the room bowed one after another, and Zhuang Li stood up with a smile.

Zhou Jingyun frowned slightly: "Last night, I read too late and slept in the study."

Zhuang Li said, "The prince asked Feng'er to tell him, is it not cold? I asked Chunyue and the others to add two more charcoal fires."

Zhou Jingyun hummed absentmindedly. It was strange. He didn't feel like reading. He had never felt sleepy while reading before and lay down to sleep immediately.

This is not normal.

"Prince?" Zhuang Li's voice came.

Zhou Jingyun looked over.

"Let's eat." Zhuang Li said with a smile.

Zhou Jingyun nodded, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Before Zhuang Li could say anything, the maids in the room all laughed.

"We were just talking about this before the prince came in."

"The young lady said she had a beautiful dream."

It was a wonderful dream, Zhou Jingyun looked at Zhuang Li.

In the dim morning light, a faint smile appeared on Zhuang Li's face.

"My Lord, please come and have dinner soon," she said. "After dinner, I will go to see Doctor Zhang."

It seemed like he had made some incense for his aunt and was about to get it when it was ready. Zhou Jingyun had a vague memory of it.

He nodded.

The maids from the kitchen brought in the food, the servants set the table, watched the couple sit down, and then left.

The reason why the young lady and the prince didn't keep anyone around was to talk. Chunyue looked back as she walked out. Although she couldn't hear clearly when she was standing outside, she could feel that the two of them were talking and laughing non-stop. Now...

The Young Madam and the Prince said a few words, "Try this, try that," and then they lowered their heads and ate quietly.

Also, it's too quiet.

I have to travel quickly, so my typing rhythm is disrupted. There will be no update tomorrow (I don’t have any drafts saved, so the drawback of writing now finally appears hahahaha)
