Seeing that the sky began to glow white, it was about to dawn.

Shi Xiaochuan and the others drove to the next small town and found a hotel to live in. After driving for several days and nights, they didn't have to rest.

Of course the conditions of the hotels in the small town are not very good, but fortunately there are still water heaters. Unscrew the shower head, and the hot water just washes down. The numb body recovered.

He took out a paper cup, poured half a cup of hot water into it, took out Xiao Bai who was curled up in his pocket, and put it into the paper cup.

Xiaobai was awakened by this movement, moving around in the paper cup, flicking his tail, the water in the paper cup splashed out, seeing that the paper cup was about to fall, Shi Xiaochuan quickly held the paper cup up.

He squeezed Xiaobai's head with his hands, lifted it up, and put it in again. Although the cup was small, it was more than enough to hold Xiaobai's tiny body.

Ren Shi Xiaochuan, who Xiaobai didn't struggle at all, carried it with his tail hanging straight.

Seeing its tired look, Shi Xiaochuan shook his head.

He was taking a bath next to him, and Xiaobai was taking a bath next to him. On a whim, Shi Xiaochuan got some body wash and applied it on Xiaobai's body, scrubbing its greasy white snakeskin. Xiaobai struggled hard and vomited Holding the snake letter, he bared his small fangs as if threatening.

After playing like this for a while, his drowsy mind cleared up a lot. After washing his pajamas, Shi Xiaochuan walked out of the bathroom door, only to see Tianqiu lying on the bed and falling asleep.

He hesitated for a while whether to wake him up, and finally decided to forget it.

Anyway, it's the same after waking up and washing. Shi Xiaochuan lifted the quilt, lay down on the bed, and put Xiaobai next to the pillow. This is a double room. Tianqiu sleeps on the next bed, and he can hear his shallow breathing. Voice.

I was sleepy at first, but now I can't sleep anymore.

Tossing and turning on the bed like this, sometimes confused, sometimes sober, Shi Xiaochuan felt very tired, but his mind refused to rest for a while, from counting numbers to counting sheep, he tried all available methods, but still had no effect, finally he If you give up, just let your mind go empty.

Gradually, he seemed to hear something.

He was walking on a road filled with white mist, a very wide road, but he was the only one walking.

The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and the road was so empty and quiet. Shi Xiaochuan looked at his front and back, and saw the white fog so thick that he couldn't see his fingers. The thick fog, even the road under the feet seemed to be softened by the thick fog, and it was as if the feet could not step on it.

Uneasy, he clenched his fists.

Standing in this dense fog, Shi Xiaochuan lost his way.

He kept walking and walking, and at the end, he was so tired that he could barely lift his feet. Shi Xiaochuan looked at all this in despair, he didn't understand where he was?

Suddenly, not far away, something seemed to penetrate the thick fog and leak a little light.

Shi Xiaochuan seemed to have grabbed hold of a life-saving straw, and walked quickly along that direction, that spot of light.

The dense fog wetted his clothes, turned into water vapor, and his sweat flowed down his body drop by drop. Shi Xiaochuan raised his hand and wiped his eyes blinded by sweat indiscriminately. The light was still there. , I ran so far just now, but the distance didn't seem to get closer.

Shi Xiaochuan felt that he had been deceived, it was like a mirage, it seemed to be close in front of his eyes, maybe it was an image left by a long time ago, or it was simply a scene hundreds or thousands of miles away.

However, in Shi Xiaochuan's heart, there was a stubbornness of not admitting defeat, he held on, and continued to walk in that direction.

Step by step.

Every step is soaked in sweat.

Shi Xiaochuan's mind was so tired that he couldn't think anymore, only his body was still walking forward instinctively, Shi Xiaochuan knew that he couldn't stop, as long as he stopped, he would fall down on the spot, he didn't know how long he walked, maybe one day, maybe a week?

When he was about to reach the limit, the point of light suddenly moved.

Shi Xiaochuan dragged his feet and continued walking, the dense fog in front of him surrounded him, the wind blowing from nowhere made the thick fog move, like a wave, pushing Shi Xiaochuan forward.

Finally, getting closer and closer to the light.

Shi Xiaochuan vaguely heard the voice of someone speaking, intermittent and indistinct, Shi Xiaochuan was attracted by that voice, and walked in that direction involuntarily.

Ahead was a building crouching in the white mist.

Very big.

Shi Xiaochuan felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw it in his numb mind.

He groped along the wall, and finally found a door, which was ajar, and he pushed it open and walked in.

The conversation was still going on, the voice was a little clearer, it could be heard that several people were arguing, chattering, the content was trivial and chaotic, Shi Xiaochuan was confused.

According to Shi Xiaochuan's usual temperament, although he is not very old, things like curiosity are not as vigorous as those of his peers. He is not even interested in other people's secrets.

Those adults who whispered in front of him, those children who mocked and bullied him face to face, those things that they wanted but never got when they were young, those innocent questions that would never be answered and would only be roughly pushed away, all His curiosity was completely worn away.

But now, it was as if a devil grew in his heart that was constantly tempting him.

Shi Xiaochuan was eager to hear what these people were saying.

The fog was still so thick, but it dispersed a little bit, Shi Xiaochuan vaguely saw that the place where he was now was a small courtyard.

The voices finally heard a little more clearly, "——No, you can't do this." A voice said loudly.

"—Let us go, everyone will die then." Another voice seemed to be defending.

"It was done wrong hundreds of years ago—"

"--no way."

"Just a few dead—— that's fine."

"Shi Daluo's family—"

These voices started arguing fiercely, and suddenly hearing Papa Shi appear in the conversation, Shi Xiaochuan was shocked. He wanted to continue listening, but found that the voices of those people became weaker and weaker. In the end, it was almost There was no sound.

He uncontrollably raised his foot and ran towards the place where the voice disappeared, but he slammed into an invisible wall and fell to the ground.

The dense fog dissipated at an extremely fast speed, and after a while, the moonlit sky with few stars appeared. Shi Xiaochuan looked at the moonlight, and then at the dark courtyard.

As expected, he was familiar with this place, which was the inner courtyard of the Shi Family Ancestral Hall.

A black shadow appeared in front of him, Shi Xiaochuan saw the face covered with black corpse spots approaching him, screamed in shock, and finally woke up from this nightmare.

Tianqiu was sitting next to him, his eyes were red from lack of sleep, and he was looking at him worriedly, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Shi Xiaochuan touched his forehead, sweating from his hand, he nodded with lingering fear, this is definitely a nightmare that consumes physical and mental effort!
