White Hedge Dream

Chapter 110 Her name

Zhou Jingyun lifted a corner of the tent, and the light from the night lamp came in, diluting the ink color.

"Ali, Ali." He called softly a few times and leaned over to look at him, "What's wrong? Are you having a nightmare?"

Zhuang Li closed his eyes on the pillow, his nose twitched slightly, but he did not wake up.

Zhou Jingyun raised his hand and gently touched her cheek, his tentacles feeling slightly moist.

Nightmares are scary but not crying.

This is a dream about something sad.

Maybe meeting her family.

Zhou Jingyun was silent for a moment. He had never seen her cry during the day. She was either looking calm or smiling.

Can she only hide in her dreams and be sad?

Then let her cry happily.

To wake her up, she not only had to hide her sadness, but also found some reasons to appease him.

Zhou Jingyun sighed softly and looked at Zhuang Li, who unconsciously leaned over and almost slept on the same pillow with him. He didn't call her again and stretched out his hand to pat her gently.

Go to sleep, sleep well.

Maybe he was comforted, maybe he was no longer sad in the dream, Zhuang Li stopped sobbing and felt peaceful.

…

…

In Sanqufang, the sound of the piano in the small building became softer and softer.

Shen Qing looked at the butterfly in the bamboo cage with sad eyes.

The butterfly in the bamboo cage is motionless, like a sculpture.

The closed door was gently opened, and a beautiful middle-aged woman walked in.

Although his face was drunk, his eyes were bright and energetic.

The wife of the Huang family of Liuxiang Courtyard in Sanqufang was a very capable person among dignitaries, but she looked nervous at this moment.

She asked nervously: "Dalangjun, will our guests really come tonight?"

Shen Qing glanced at her and said, "You made a mistake. We are not guests. We should say we are reunited after a long separation, and we wake up from a dream."

After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at the guqin.

"Adie, you have had this dream for too long." He said softly, "Do you still remember when you flew down from Lingyan Pavilion? Do you remember what you dreamed about after you flew down?"

He touched the strings with his fingers, and the strings plucked, but the sound suddenly disappeared, and the room seemed to turn into a void, with sounds echoing in the void.

"You dreamed that you were a poor little girl."

"You were born with an ominous fate, and your loved ones suffered disaster."

…

…

Zhuang Li looked at the stars in the distance, and there seemed to be a voice chanting in his ears.

Go there to know who you are.

She suddenly felt a little funny, of course she knew who she was.

She sold herself to Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang...

Zhuang Li opened his mouth, as if an idea was about to come out, but it was suddenly wiped away.

She is... a bird passing by in the academy.

The birds flew across the forest and flew to the west.

Zhuang Li's vision suddenly became vague, and instead of solid bluestone under his feet, he saw undulating mountains.

Even flying birds get tired. She flew lower and lower, fell into a river with a thud, and then jumped up suddenly.

She is...a river fish.

The river fish struggled to swim westward, twisting and turning, until she crashed into the dream of a fisherman sleeping on a fishing boat.

The fisherman swung the boat to a pier and watched countless people rushing to buy. He laughed happily and gave baskets of fish to the people in exchange for baskets of money.

She is...a fast horse carrying post soldiers.

She galloped towards the city in front of her. Hurry up, hurry up, the city was getting closer and closer, and she could see the black guards in front of the city gate.

"...Under the imperial edict, Bai Xun colluded with the Chiang family to cause chaos and was immediately beheaded in public—"

The shouts of the post soldiers rang in my ears.

Zhuang Li took in a sharp breath, she was Bai Xun's—

But at this moment, the shouting in his ears disappeared, replaced by the sound of a woman's breathing.

Yes, her gasping?

Zhuang Li reached out and pressed his heart, his heartbeat was so fast that it felt like two hearts.

How can one person have two hearts?

A voice shouted in my ear.

"Mother, wake up soon, this is a dream."

Empress? Dream?

Zhuang Li only felt that her eyes were spinning, and there was no city in the distance, but she was in the city, surrounded by soldiers, guards, eunuchs, maids, chaos, cries and shouts everywhere, and fireworks all around.

Where is this? who is she?

“Mother, please go quickly—”

Someone rushed to her and urged her, trying to pull her away.

Walk?

She won't leave.

She stood there, straightening her back, looking down in front of her.

She could see the tall city walls and the crowds of people running like ants. She could also see the gorgeous dress on her body fluttering in the wind, revealing her naked white feet.

Around her ankle was a string of rubies.

Brilliant and dazzling.

"Jiang Mian'er—where to go?"

There was a voice coming from behind.

Jiang Mian'er?

Is this calling her?

She couldn't help but turn her head to look, and it seemed like countless memories were pouring out like a tide, just waiting for her to look back to drown her.

But at this moment, there was another shout in my ear.

"White fence!"

At the same time someone grabbed her feet.

Cold, then hot. The Zhuangli shattered like a porcelain bottle, and condensed into shape the next moment. There was no noise in my ears, and there was no city filled with fireworks and people in front of me.

She was still standing on the street, dreaming dimly and silently. She lowered her head and saw her plain pajamas and embroidered soft shoes on her feet.

There is no ruby ​​on the ankle, but there is a white and slender hand.

The hand stretched out from the dark night and grasped her feet tightly.

Real hands grasped the feet in the illusory dream.

…

…

Stretched.

The hand bounced off the strings, and the plucked guqin returned to silence, becoming silent and motionless.

Shen Qing looked a little stunned.

"Da Langjun—" Mrs. Huang's exclamation rang in her ears, "Butterfly, the butterfly has stopped moving—"

…

…

Bai Li couldn't move at all.

The hand held her foot tightly.

The strength is not that great, but this is a real hand, grasping her imaginary feet, like a pair of pokers.

Bai Li felt like his whole body was about to be set on fire.

She had never been in this situation.

In the past, she was the one who came into contact with reality, but reality could never see her.

How did this person do it?

And more importantly, this person shouted, Bai Li.

White fence.

Zhou Jingyun must be the only one in the entire capital who knows her name is Baili.

And Zhou Jingyun never called her that.

She almost forgot the name herself.

Who actually recognized her?

This is impossible.

No one could recognize her face.

Zhuang Li lowered her head and saw a person prostrate on the ground along her hands. Her figure was covered by a wide cloak. She leaned over and turned her head and saw a blue face.

Although his face has turned blue, his eyebrows and eyes are still handsome, which makes people look slightly startled.

Of course it's not because of beauty, but because of recognition.

Shangguan month.

…

…

Shangguan Yue didn't know when she fell.

When Qu Tong raised his hand, he already knew that this man had a backup plan. He let go of Rui Bo, who had died trying to save his life, and ran forward as hard as he could.

He didn't care about life and death, he couldn't let the people who protected him die in vain.

However, he did not escape after all.

He heard himself fall to the ground and his vision blurred.

The world became quiet, and I could only hear my own heartbeat, which was getting slower and slower.

Alas, he must finally die too.

The Qutong said that he had relatives and he had no choice but to come and kill him.

As for him, he has no relatives anymore, so he really deserves to die.

There was darkness in Shangguan Yue's vision. After death, people would live in such darkness, otherwise they would always say that they encountered ghosts in the dark night.

He was very afraid of the dark when he was a child, and Reb was chosen to keep him company at night.

When he falls asleep, the people around him cannot sleep, otherwise they will cry and make a fuss.

Reb knelt down beside the bed and stayed with him night after night.

Alas, he is such an arrogant and hateful child.

Who would have thought that when a child who is afraid of the dark grows up, he will live a life with day and night reversed. He will cruise in the night, looking at the dark river and the entrenched city.

In fact, if you think about it this way, there is no difference between death and living. Moreover, you can be reunited with your father and mother after death.

But what if there are no ghosts in the world?

Even if you die, you won’t be able to see your father and mother.

I'm really not willing to give in.

He really doesn't want to die.

Why should he die?

He couldn't help but want to crawl forward, but he felt that he had exhausted all his strength, but he just stretched out his hand without moving his body.

His strength was gone again.

Forget it, this is his life. He should have died a long time ago. He died in the fire with his father and mother. It was his mother who sent him out, and it was Shangguan's consort who took him over and kept him alive.

Is he the one who survived? It seems that it's not him, but Shangguan Yue.

He had forgotten his name.

His outstretched hand traced slowly on the ground.

Suddenly he smelled the aroma, a familiar aroma that he once thought was an illusion.

At the same time, a figure appeared in his sight, and someone was walking past him.

Shangguan Yue laid his head on the ground and looked up. He saw a girl in the dim night. Although he couldn't see her face clearly from this angle, he still recognized her at a glance.

The daughter of Bai Xun who pinched his face in the dream and was killed in the arrest document sent by the Board of Supervisors.

Shangguan Yue suddenly stretched out her hand to grab her feet.

"White fence!" he shouted.
