After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor
Chapter 1 Whisper in a Dream
The moment she closed her eyes, Su Wanning came to the place she tried so hard to avoid.
This is a magnificent ancient house. There is a huge plaque hanging on the tall front door. Even if she tilts her head up completely, she can't see the words on it clearly. The house is still empty and eerie, just like before. The difference is that tonight is a full moon, and the bright moonlight can clearly illuminate the closed vermilion door and the towering scarlet wall.
Fear began to grow from the bottom of my heart again and started to spread everywhere.
This was the seventh time that Su Wanning had dreamed of this place this month. Every time she dreamed of this place, she would stand at the door of the house. The farthest she would go was to push open the door and walk into the courtyard. But every time she walked into the courtyard, a woman's shrill voice would be heard in the dark night, sometimes sobbing, sometimes cursing, and sometimes making strange laughter, the sound was sharp and desolate.
Wan Ning has always been timid. Every time she heard this eerie and terrifying voice, she always felt it was a cry from hell. The indescribable fear in her heart woke her up from the nightmare.
Because of this, Su Wanning hadn't had a good sleep for a long time, and she was often scolded by her supervisor for being in a bad mood and looking bad at work. This time, the moonlight gave her the courage to face her fear and see who was causing her to have trouble sleeping in this dream. She pinched her arm hard, wanting the pain to remind herself to stay awake at all times, but even though the nail marks on her arm were so deep that a few drops of blood appeared, she still didn't feel any pain.
Su Wanning raised her head and looked through the yard at the sky. The distant sky seemed heavy and would press down with unstoppable force in the next second. This scene made the hairs on her back stand up and she could hardly breathe. Fortunately, the moonlight tonight was still bright. When she turned her eyes to the moon, she actually had a lantern in her hand that emitted a bright moonlight. The moon seemed to be hinting that she should continue to walk into the yard and take a look. Maybe she would gain something different.
So she mustered up her courage again and walked into the darkness along the long corridor connecting to the courtyard. The darker it got, the more she walked. Strangely, the lantern in her hand became brighter, and her shadow became longer and thinner. Suddenly, the sharp and miserable female voice came again, as if countless hands were pulling and rubbing Su Wanning's heart. Fortunately, this time her consciousness was firm enough. It was not until she approached the main hall door at the end of the corridor that she vaguely distinguished that the shrill shouts were actually cries for help. Perhaps it was the long shouting that made her voice so hoarse, so that the cries of "Help, let me out..." could not have their original effect, and only dissipated in the hoarseness of her throat.
"Then let's go in and take a look!" This strange thought subconsciously came to Su Wanning's mind. When she was still wondering why she had such an idea, she found herself in the house the next second.
It was such a horrible face: messy hair with knots everywhere, clothes on her body were tattered and smelled bad, and her drooping face was covered with scars like centipedes crawling on her face, covering her original appearance. When she saw someone approaching her, she suddenly raised her head, revealing her lifeless eyes, staring straight at a shadow on the ground.
Su Wanning found that her hands and feet were not tied, so it might not be difficult for her to leave the room. It was not the ropes that trapped her.
"Hello." Su Wanning greeted him tentatively. Even though she didn't know whether the other person was a human or a ghost, she still had to be polite.
But this greeting startled those eyes. They suddenly widened and then flashed a hint of joy, but soon dimmed and turned into panic. The owner of these eyes suddenly stepped forward and held Su Wanning's arm tightly with both hands, making her unable to move. Even if she couldn't feel the pain in her dream, the man's desperate efforts and hysteria in front of her were fully conveyed to Wanning. She tried to speak clearly:
"Why are you back? Get out of here! Go!"
After saying that, he took two steps back and started coughing violently due to excitement, with blood slowly oozing from the corners of his mouth.
Su Wanning was confused at the moment. She forgot the fear in her heart and subconsciously walked forward to check. Unexpectedly, she was bounced out by an invisible wall. When she opened her eyes again, the surrounding environment had changed.
This was a bleak wilderness in autumn. She was surrounded by a field of withered yellow herbs that almost reached her chest. Every step she took forward caused countless cuts on her body from the sharp grass.
So she stood there and looked around. It seemed as if she was the only one between heaven and earth. The sunlight was so strong that she could not open her eyes. But when she closed her eyes, the sound of thousands of troops fighting came from afar, roaring, fighting, the sound of war horses, and the sound of blood splashing out of bodies, all exploding in her ears.
She instantly felt the breath of death, and greater fear began to spread from the soles of her feet. She covered her ears with her hands and ran forward desperately, regardless of the wounds cut by the weeds. Her clothes turned into rags, and her face was scratched with blood. Just when she didn't know where to go, a faint voice seemed to guide her among the noisy voices: "Hurry, go forward."
So she ran forward madly, and when she opened her eyes next time, she actually came to the battlefield where the two sides were fighting. Bright red blood was oozing from her body, and countless people who died in the war were lying at her feet. The scene scared her so much that she wanted to step back, but her feet seemed to be filled with lead and she couldn't move a step.
The feeling of fear and panic reached its peak when a general riding a tall horse opposite him, whose face he could not see clearly, pulled out an arrow from the horse's back and aimed at him.
Death is at hand.
Just as the arrow was about to fly straight towards her, a man in blood-stained armor flew in front of Su Wanning and blocked the arrow with his chest. When he fell to the ground, Su Wanning hurriedly supported his body, but just as he was about to make contact, she heard the sound of a door closing heavily.
Su Wanning opened her eyes tiredly and woke up from her dream. She took out her cell phone with difficulty and checked the time. It was already three o'clock in the morning.
"It's okay. I slept longer this time than before." She didn't care about the quality of her sleep. She was already very satisfied to be able to sleep until three o'clock recently. With her aching body, Su Wanning got up from the bed and got herself a glass of water. Then she heard the sound of a door closing in the next room. It turned out that her roommate had just returned from the night shift.
This is the house she shared in the big city where she works after graduation, or more accurately, the room. The space of more than ten square meters is now filled with packed cartons. When she first graduated, in order to rent a cheap house, she rented a house far away, which resulted in an unusually long commute time. She was exhausted just going to work every day. So she finally decided to make an appointment with the agency to find a new house on the last day of her probation period, which is tomorrow after get off work. In order to save time, she would pack some luggage in advance after get off work every day, which resulted in the small room being filled with cartons.
After drinking the water, Su Wanning lay back on the bed. She didn’t know whether her decision to work hard in this city was a good one or not, but she had nowhere else to go since her grandmother passed away.
Because she had just had such a dream, she couldn't sleep anymore. She reached out from under the pillow and took out half of the jade pendant and folded it in her hand. The jade pendant was originally supposed to be round with a butterfly pattern carved in the middle, but it broke for some unknown reason. Now she only had half of it in her hand, and she could still vaguely see the butterfly carved on it.
This was something her grandmother secretly put into her hand when she went back to her hometown to visit her dying grandmother last month. Although her grandmother was no longer conscious, she still stretched out her skinny arms and waved them in the air when she heard Wan Ning's voice, and finally succeeded in taking out the half of the jade pendant from under the pillow and handed it to her. Everything her grandmother had was inherited by her uncle and aunt, and this was the only thought that her grandmother secretly hid for her.
When she was little, she had seen her grandmother playing with this jade pendant. She would hold it high in front of Wan Ning so that the sun would shine through it. Then the shadow of the jade pendant would turn into a fluttering butterfly on Su Wan Ning's face, making Wan Ning laugh heartily. That was one of her happiest childhood memories.
Grandma often sighed: "Oh, this jade is such a rare piece of good jade. If it were complete it would be worth a lot of money. It's a pity that it has been broken. I will leave it to you after I die as a keepsake. Maybe one day Xiao Wan Ning can use it to find her other half!"
Sometimes she would fantasize about finding her other half, but sometimes she wondered how a rural old lady could get such a beautiful jade pendant? She probably just wanted to make herself happy. Unexpectedly, grandma always remembered it and tried her best to hand it to her before she died.
But since getting this jade, Wan Ning often has some strange dreams.
She just thought that she was under too much mental pressure and missed her grandmother too much. She never dared to think about how all this was related to this half jade pendant.
It was not until the next day that she actually saw the other half of the jade pendant.
