Chapter 147 The Dream Body and the Dream Chaser

This is a brand new dimension, the next stop for Li Yu and Qiu Tong.

Their village is located in the depths of a dense forest. The layout of the village is a "field" shape, with two avenues, one horizontal and one vertical, staggering through the village, and an irregular square surrounded by wooden fences.

There are only a few pieces of land around the village that show traces of cultivation, which shows that the majority of the residents living in this village are hunters and herb gatherers.

After entering winter, heavy snow covered the roads in the mountains, leaving the village completely isolated from the outside world.

It was midnight when the first heavy snow fell on this village deep in the dense forest in the early winter of this year. The village was very quiet, and there was no sound of "whining, neighing and barking" of livestock that was often heard in other villages. Even the babblings of the old men in their dreams seemed cautious.

The sleepless man's house is located in the west of the entire village, built on a slightly higher earth slope than the others.

At this moment, he seemed to hear the "rustle" sound when the heavy snow fell, so he looked out of the window - the snowflakes were falling to the sky one after another, he immediately turned the wick of the oil lamp in front of him, and then stood up from the bamboo chair he was sitting on , walked to the window, and stared thoughtfully at the darkness outside the window.

He is the night watchman of the village. When night falls, he will prick up his ears, patrol the territory belonging to the villagers, and protect the secrets belonging to their village.

The night watchman has always been two people, used for rotation at night.

The Sleepless One's companion, another Night Watchman, was sleeping soundlessly in a corner of the room.

The awake night watchman is named Bai Luo. He has a handsome face and a well-proportioned figure. Apart from being a night watchman, he is also the best hunter in the village.And the young man who was sleeping silently at the other end of the room was really too young from the looks of him, perhaps less than 14 years old.

Just when Bai Luo was still clinging to the depths of the night, the sleeping boy let out a very soft moan.Bai Luo immediately shifted his gaze to his companion - he was in a nightmare right now.

"Ruohan." He gently called the other person's name, hoping to free his companions from the nightmare.But it didn't work.

The boy named Ruohan clenched his teeth in his dream, frowned, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. His body wrapped in the quilt twisted as if his hands and feet were bound by something.

"Ruohan, wake up." Bai Luo put his lips close to the boy's ear, calling out softly, and at the same time stretched out a hand to gently pat the boy's cheek.

Suddenly, the young man stretched out a hand from under the quilt, and grabbed Bai Luo's skirt, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, his knuckles were already bluish white.

Then, in a breath, the boy named Ruohan opened his eyes and sat up suddenly from the bed.

"Did you have a nightmare again?" Bai Luo asked.

Ruohan nodded, his breathing still seemed a little short.He slowed down for a moment, and then realized that his hand was still on Bai Luo's lapel, so he let it go shyly, and said to his companion, "I made you worry."

Bai Luo smiled slightly and asked, "What did you dream about?"

Ruohan's expression, which had just softened a bit, became solemn again. He recalled the scene in his dream, shuddered inadvertently, and pulled the quilt that had just slipped off towards him again.

"I dreamed of several people, and they pointed knives at you." Ruohan looked at Bai Luo, with uneasiness in his eyes.He went on to say, "I saw you bleeding a lot, but I wanted to help you but I couldn't make a sound or move. I struggled desperately, but suddenly there was a fire around me!"

Bai Luo was still smiling faintly and asked softly: "Who are the people pointing the knife at me?"

Ruohan replied: "I can't see their faces clearly in the dream, but they are definitely not from our village."

"It's just a dream, it's okay." Bai Luo comforted him and said, "Let's sleep for a while, it's not time for rotation yet."

Ruohan nodded and lay down again, but the uneasiness in his eyes did not fade away at all. "Bai Luo", he called his companion's name, and then whispered, "If I have nightmares again, you must wake me up like you did just now."

Bai Luo smiled and nodded.

After Ruohan closed his eyes and began to breathe steadily, Bai Luo left from the bed.

He moved the bamboo chair to the window, sat down and stared out of the window silently.After a long time, he murmured to himself in an inaudible voice - "What should come, will come after all."

In the boundless night outside the window, amid the vast wind and snow, there was a faint sound of "creak, creak" coming from far to near.

It was the sound of a group of people walking slowly through the snow.

……

The snow had stopped by the time a hazy light appeared in the sky.

A group of five people walked slowly through the snow-covered forest and came from the other side of the mountain.These five people were all wearing raincoats and bamboo hats, and carried their own luggage on their backs.

The leader was a woman. She was wearing a bright red cotton coat and cotton trousers under a dark brown raincoat. She had a golden belt tied around her waist, and a pair of light brown deerskin short boots that were sunk into the thick snow. .The heavy clothes could not hide her graceful figure, and her extremely dark eyes looked angry but not angry, but her facial features were as sharp as a man's, and there was no trace of fragility at all.

The remaining four people are all men, of different ages and dressed in different styles.They stood silently behind the woman, looking through the light snow and fog at the village that had already shown its outline in the morning light.

"Presumably, you all have no doubts about the purpose of our trip, right?" the woman said suddenly, turning to face the four people behind her.

The four people glanced at each other, and the oldest man among them said: "The old man has dispelled all the doubts in his heart before he set off with Snow Maiden. If he can get what he wants in this trip, it must be a blessing in life. But it’s also destiny, no regrets.”

The other three people, a big man with a beard and a pair of twin brothers, all nodded in agreement with the old man's point of view.

The woman smiled slightly and said: "The four of you are all prominent figures in the world today, but this time you are willing to keep your name anonymous and travel thousands of miles to come to this mountain and forest wilderness with me, a little girl. Xue Ji is also lucky."

"It's just..." Her tone changed immediately, "Everyone doesn't know that the little-known village we are going to is a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. Xueji also asked heroes to put away that useless place of pride. Heart, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave alive." She deliberately emphasized the syllables on the word "hero", with obvious irony.

The pair of twin brothers were only in their early twenties, at the age of youth, when they heard Xue Ji's sarcasm, their faces showed disdain.The elder brother is named Yuanxiu, and he said, "We two brothers have been traveling the rivers and lakes for some time, and we have never heard of any master in the rivers and lakes coming from this poor village deep in the mountains. The two brothers are willing to fight with him, so it is a worthwhile trip."

Yuan Xiu's younger brother is named Yuan Jue. After the elder brother finished speaking, he took over the quarrel and continued: "It's just a fight with a master, and we must be too busy to take care of ourselves. If Miss Snow can't protect herself, I can tell you everything I know here. I'll wait and leave on my own."

The big man with a beard still said nothing.

When Xue Ji heard what the twin brothers said, instead of being angry, she burst out laughing with a "puchi".She shouted at an old tree ten steps away, "It's time to come out, these brothers are going to fight you."

The four men were all shocked—their martial arts were of the highest quality, especially the old man was a master of a generation. It was hard to imagine that someone could hide under their noses without being noticed.

"The girl has good eyesight, she can break through the concealment technique of the subordinates." A person came out from behind the tree.It was a young male. He was more than six feet tall. His upper body was wrapped in a bearskin jacket, and a belt was made of a whole red fox fur first, and his lower body was yellow cotton trousers and a black roe deer. Leather hunting boots.Judging from his face, he is also handsome, but his disheveled hair makes people feel sloppy.

"Who are you?" The twin brothers glared at him, and both put their hands on the hilts of their swords.

The man didn't care about the tense atmosphere in front of him. He smiled lightly, glanced at Xue Ji thoughtfully, and then turned his eyes to the twin brothers.He said: "It turns out that we are two young heroes with twin swords. I am disrespectful and disrespectful. My surname is Hao, and my last name is the word 'ren'."

"Your Excellency's formation is so powerful." Xue Ji said, with an unknown smile on his face. "If we hadn't stepped into the formation formed by Your Excellency just now, I am afraid that it would be really difficult to find Your Excellency with the skills of a little girl."

Hearing Xue Ji's explanation, the eyes of the old man and the bearded man flickered, and they secretly condensed their energy in their dantian, ready to strike at any time.

"Your Excellency, are you one of the people who have been guarding here in the past?" Xue Ji asked.

Hao Ren shook his head, turned his eyes to the old man and the bearded man, and then showed a little surprise, and then said: "This year is the last year that thing exists in the world, and the village's guards are weak, and their strength is not as good as that of the old man. In the past, although I expected that many people would be robbed this time, what I didn't expect was that the old man "Poison Dragon" who shook the world back then would come in person."

The old man smiled "haha" after hearing this, and said: "The old man has retired from the world for several years, so it's better not to mention the name 'poisonous dragon'."

Hao Ren bowed slightly to the poisonous dragon, then turned to the bearded man, and said, "What's even more unexpected is that Commander Xu, who is far away in the capital, will come here to swim in this muddy water."

The big man with bearded beard was stunned for a moment, his eyes quickly turned a few times, and he said: "Your Excellency is really a master, I have not said a word, I have not revealed the depth of martial arts, and I think that the disguise on my face is flawless, I don't know Where did you find out who I am?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xueji who was standing in front of him. If his identity was indeed leaked, then the woman who was most suspicious was Xueji. She was the only one among the five who knew her true identity.

"Commander Xu, it's better not to be suspicious, it's better to listen to what Hao Ren has to say." Xue Ji said lightly.

At this time, Li Yu and Qiu Tong quietly appeared on the hillside in the distance.

"This plane is a bit strange." Qiutong said, "It seems that there are other sons of heaven who came here first."
