"Then we're not crossing the border illegally?"

Oda was not fully awake yet, when he heard him mention the national border, he just followed up.

Jiang Siyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"There is an objective possibility of this, but we didn't do it voluntarily, we were held hostage. Brother He is already trying to find a way to contact the police. I heard that he also knows the relevant departments. It's just that our mobile phones will be confiscated. I lost it, or lost it, and there is no phone in the village! Hey, speaking of this village, you don’t know, I’ve never seen such a backward village in my life, there’s only one TV, black and white, and it’s hard to find a mobile phone , I don’t even know that there is such a place in our modern society, what’s more troublesome is the language barrier...”

Xiaotian listened to him chattering, although his mind was still buzzing, but he didn't feel bored, on the contrary, he felt a familiarity and nostalgia for returning to the world, wishing he would talk more, so that he could have a sense of reality of living in the present.

No matter how simple the place is, the air she breathes is more comfortable than in the underworld. She doesn't want to experience that cold and gloomy feeling again in her life. Besides, they are still going through life and death, and they have experienced so much... huh?

Thinking of this, Oda suddenly paused, frowning slightly.

Jiang Siyin immediately stopped speaking.

"what happened to you?"

"I feel like I've forgotten a lot of things, including what I experienced in the underworld," Oda panicked, "Could it be amnesia?"

"I thought it was something!" Jiang Siyin breathed a sigh of relief, and explained to her, "Didn't Brother He say it before, ordinary people have been to the underworld, and when they come back, they will not fully remember the things below, it is normal to have memory loss Yes, because it is not a place for living people to stay in, and only those who are as capable as Brother He and the others, or who have the chance of good luck, can clearly remember and describe it."

He Shu did say this.

Oda moved his body slightly. Apart from the soreness, he didn't seem to have any more serious injuries.

Jiang Siyin: "I think it's a good thing to forget. After all, there are some things that we can't understand. I still remember seeing a terrible monster at that time. It seemed to be called Kun. Its appearance is something I don't want to recall in my life. Fortunately, I forgot, otherwise I'm afraid you will have nightmares every day."

As soon as he said that, Oda also remembered.

It is true that You Kun, Yama of the Ten Palaces, and the errands all came out, but she couldn't remember exactly what happened.

Instead, I had a long dream while sleeping, which I remember very clearly.

"I had a dream about you."

Hearing Xiao Tian's words, Jiang Siyin paused suddenly.

Oda was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Siyin: "Coincidentally, I also had a dream about you."

Oda: "Tell me first, let's talk about it later?"

Jiang Siyin nodded.

In the dream, Jiang Siyin was no longer a native Chinese. He traveled across the ocean with his brothers and friends to explore the "rich Far East" in their eyes.

Their profession is generally called explorers or adventurers, and some people call them robbers.

After the Eight-Power Allied Forces burned the Old Summer Palace, there have been more explorers of this kind spread across the eastern continent. Some of them went deep into the inland, or even the barren and desolate land in the northwest, and took away cultural relics or rare animals in the name of archaeology, and then brought them back to Europe. Sell ​​at a high price and gain both fame and fortune.

At that time, in order to invade and occupy Myanmar, the British government had a dispute with the Qing government on the Qing-Myanmar border. This dispute lasted from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and it has never ceased. Jiang Siyin and his party were hired by the British side to draw maps in the southwest. of.

At that time, the border was not as clear and strict as it is now, the country was poor and the people were weak, and foreign expeditions were free to come and go without anyone stopping them. They went deep into the jungle all the way, not only found the territory of the Wa people, but also found the traces left by Zhuge Wuhou more than 1000 years ago.

More than 1000 years ago, in order to realize the great cause of the Northern Expedition as soon as possible without worrying about the future, Zhuge Liang once sent troops to the southwest. On the one hand, he pacified the tribes in judgment and stabilized the rear.

The southwestern region has always been known for being far away from the Central Plains, with many local tribes, wild and backward. The seven captures of Menghuo is a story that has been widely spread through "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Cultivating the heritage and heart towards the imperial court has not changed after thousands of years. The Wa people are one of them. Many relics about Zhuge Liang have been preserved in the territory of the Wa people. Even food, clothing, housing and transportation must unearth connections and allusions from thousands of years ago.

Jiang Siyin's companions clashed with the Wa people near the Chasing Dragon Mountain. They shot and killed several Wa people, and fled into the mountain with the hostages. Anger grew from the heart to evil, and he smashed the temple, only to find all kinds of jade and jewels buried in the temple, as well as a strange mirror.

"I dreamed that the mirror can reflect everyone's appearance when they are old, and it can also respond to treasures. As long as it is close to jade, gold and silver, the mirror will shine."

In the past, Jiang Siyin would only regard this kind of dream as a fantasy novel, but after experiencing so many things, he no longer regards the dream as an ordinary dream.

"Also, the mirror seems to have some kind of magical power. In my dream, I heard from my partner, er, I heard from my partner that every time they got the mirror, their hearts would be pounding, as if their souls would be sucked in. Yes Yeah, they're speaking English, but I can understand it."

"and then?"

Oda listened intently, and even forgot a lot of the discomfort of waking up.

"Then, I had a disagreement with my companions. I think such a mirror is more precious than the pharaoh's relics in the Egyptian pyramids. It must be brought back to the UK and placed in the British Museum so that everyone can visit it. The best destination. But others disagree, their purpose of coming here is called exploration, but in fact it is stealth and robbery."

"I didn't want to argue with them anymore, so I sneaked the mirror away. They chased me from behind and shot me. I fell off the cliff, thinking I was going to die, but I met a passing young girl who was also a local Wa people, who came into the mountains to collect herbs, I was so delirious at that time, she rescued me with herbs, I am very grateful, lest she know that I am one of the chief culprits who took her people hostage Lied that I was invited by the local government to go into the mountains to survey the geography, but I just got lost."

"The girl was very nice. She didn't leave me behind. She stayed with me all the time and told me local stories."

Jiang Siyin in the dream was an Englishman. He had no understanding of Chinese civilization at first, and the quarrel with his accomplices was only because he regarded the mirror as a cultural relic, not a trophy.

But from the mouth of the Wa girl, he gradually understood why the local Wa people worshiped this ancient man named Zhuge Liang so much, learned about Zhuge Liang's lifelong achievements, and also learned about the suffering of this land of Yunnan in modern times.

He gradually fell in love with the girl, and also fell in love with the house and the city, and fell in love with the land where the girl lived, and the history of thousands of years in this land.

Although Britain is not considered a country with a poor history, the island country has never had such a brilliant civilization comparable to ancient Greece and Rome.The difference is that ancient Greece and ancient Rome were long-extinct civilizations that only existed in history books, while the Chinese civilization really existed, even though its people's livelihood is difficult and the country is poor and weak.

But the more Jiang Siyin listened, the more he felt that the sleeping lion might not wake up one day, and his original intention of taking the cultural relics away for safekeeping was too naive. Let alone whether his friends would agree, just It is a mirror that travels across the ocean, how many accidents you will encounter on the way is unknown.

After thinking over and over again, Jiang Siyin decided to keep the mirror. He found a secret place, buried the mirror, and only told the girl the location. At that time, because of the gunshot wound and the injury from falling off the cliff, he already knew that he was going to die. Not long after, he was afraid that the girl would be hurt by him, so he found fault and scolded her, but who knew that the girl not only refused to leave, but also wanted to live and die with him.

"At that time, I remember the me in the dream, and said to her, if there is an afterlife like in Buddhism, I would like to be a Chinese, meet her again, and make up for the regrets and mistakes of the previous life. I hope that at that time, there will be no There will be no more wars, no more turmoil, I hope she and I can have a wonderful encounter and a happy future."

When saying this, Jiang Siyin kept looking at Xiaotian.

Oda's expression changed several times, obviously reacting violently to his dream, but he tried his best not to interrupt Jiang Siyin.

It wasn't until he finished speaking that Oda opened his mouth slowly.

"My dream, most of the content, is similar to yours. The difference is that I am a girl's perspective. Wouldn't that really be our previous life?"

In fact, there is no need to ask this question, and various signs have already confirmed their guess.

After going to the underworld, Jiang Siyin's acceptance of this possibility has almost no obstacles.

But accepting is accepting, this kind of past life is not pleasant.

In particular, Jiang Siyin didn't expect that he might be a foreigner in his previous life, or a foreigner who stole cultural relics.

"The head descendant kept asking me all the time, no, he didn't get anything out of it, but now I have a complete dream. It should be related to our trip to the underworld, and the tactile sensation in the dark."

Seeing that Xiaotian's face was not good-looking, Jiang Siyin reluctantly raised his spirits to comfort her.

"Even if these are really our past lives, they have nothing to do with the present. It can only mean that our fate is unfinished, and we will meet in this life. We should be happy."

Xiaotian shook his head: "It doesn't matter, those foreigners must know about our previous lives, so they will not let us go after a lifetime, and they must get the whereabouts of the mirror."

Jiang Siyin was silent for a moment: "I haven't asked you yet, what happened to you after I died in my previous life, did you take out the mirror?"

Oda smiled bitterly: "No, if the dream is real, I was chased by those people not long after you died. They pressed me about the whereabouts of the mirror. Of course I refused to tell, and I was shot dead in the end. They Thought you kept the mirror nearby, but—"

Jiang Siyin continued: "But I didn't hide the mirror where they could imagine, so after we died, they couldn't find the mirror until the present world."

Xiaotian's face was serious: "So they won't let us go, that John said that he was your brother in the previous life, I can't believe what he said, and the more I think about those head-down masters, the more I feel scared. "

Jiang Si wanted to reconcile the atmosphere, so he joked: "Now we are not fighting alone. With Brother He and the others around, those people don't dare to be presumptuous. After all, Brother He is now Yan..."

He was about to blurt out, but suddenly he couldn't remember He Shu's identity. He knew what he was going to say in his mind, but he couldn't say it when he reached his mouth.

Jiang Siyin and Xiaotian looked at each other, they vaguely knew that this might be related to the taboo of not being able to clearly describe things in the underworld after returning to the underworld, so they stopped forcing it.

The two lived and died together, the relationship is completely different, Xiao Tian didn't feel it just now, but now once he calms down, that kind of ambiguous aura begins to emerge and wander.

She blushed slightly, and yawned as if trying to cover it up.

Jiang Siyin thought she was really sleepy: "You should rest first, it's just after twelve o'clock in the morning, we'll talk about it tomorrow if we have something to do, and just tell Brother He and the others about our complete dream."

Although Oda lay down, his eyes fell on him.

"how about you?"

"The village chief gave us three rooms. I'll sleep next door. Brother He and the others are on the far left. You are in the middle. Call us if you have something to do. It's very far away here, and it's quite safe!"

……

He Shu turned over again.

This is the first time he has turned over at night.

Tossing and turning, the top was worn up by the movement, and the belly was exposed.

Suddenly, there was an extra hand on his stomach.

With temperature, warm hands.

"Are you frying an omelet?"

Guanghan's helpless voice sounded beside him.
