The protagonists in the book all resent me for breaking

Chi Luoxi owns a black SUV. Jiang Xian once secretly checked the price on the Internet, seven digits, it is considered a luxury car... In a sense, the poor neighborhood he used to live in was really worthless. No more.

Jiang Xian also wondered why someone who is usually a commoner would buy such an expensive car, but the other party replied: "It can give the client a sense of reliability when taking on jobs."

"Damn!" Jiang Xian couldn't help complaining in his heart when he heard this: "Is there any necessary connection between the two? I think it's more attractive to people when they're fooling around, you two idiots!"

However, the two have been together for a few months, and they haven't met a few big things, but they have taken a lot of jobs like Feng Shui.

Every time I go to Chi Luoxi, I have to bring Jiang Xian with me. There is no salary, and it was all deducted by Chi Luoxi to pay off the debt. Jiang Xian can only watch the card become a three-digit deposit again after paying the tuition. Want to cry but have no tears.

Back home, Jiang Xian was rushed to take a bath by Chi Luoxi, and came out after washing, Chi Luoxi was not in the living room, but there was a cup of hot milk on the coffee table.

Jiang Xian sat down on the sofa, and as soon as he took the phone, the screen lit up, reminding him that he had received a new message, he clicked on it, and it was from Chi Luoxi: "I'm working on a draft in the study, and the milk on the table is Pour it for you, go to bed early after drinking."

Hey, this person, under the same roof, can't he just come out and say something?

Jiang Xian picked up the milk and took a sip. It was sweet and tasted like honey. The sweet fragrance made people relax. He drank the milk happily, thought for a while and sent a message to Chi Luoxi: "Thank you, good night."

That night Jiang Xian had a dream.

In his dream, he was in a village with beautiful mountains and rivers. The crops in the fields were full of vitality. Jiang Xian was walking on the path in the field, and the uncles and aunts who were busy with farm work greeted him with smiles.

The fields are intertwined, the grains are ripe, everything is so peaceful and beautiful.

Suddenly the ground shook, and the originally clear sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds and strong winds.

The vegetation and crops withered quickly in the strong wind, and the smiling faces in the field began to twist in pain. Their bodies began to shrivel, shrivel, and blacken from their limbs, and gradually spread to their whole bodies, crying all over for a while.

Jiang Xian watched all this happen in panic, but there was nothing he could do. At this time, his arm was tightly grasped from behind. Jiang Xian turned around in panic, and found that the person holding him was a white-haired old woman.

The old woman's hands were already scorched black. She twisted her facial features in pain, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Why are you back? Go away...don't come back!"

After she finished speaking, she pushed Jiang Xian hard. Jiang Xian was caught off guard by the strong push, and fell backwards...

"Ah—" Jiang Xian yelled and sat up from the bed in shock, his chest heaving violently. The old woman in the dream gave him a familiar feeling. ache.

Jiang Xian hastily turned on the light, rolled up his sleeves and checked his arms from left to right, left, right, and right. Fortunately, there were no strange marks.

There was a knock on the door, and Chi Luoxi's voice: "Xiao Rui? What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Xian got out of bed, walked to the door barefoot and opened it.

Chi Luoxi outside the door was wearing a sweater and sweatpants, with long black hair hanging over his shoulders. This was the first time Jiang Xian saw him with his hair loose.

Although Chi Luoxi has exquisite facial features, she doesn't look masculine when paired with long hair. On the contrary, she looks like an elegant gentleman from an ancient painting. It gives a feeling that if a man has long hair, he should be like this.

Jiang Xian was stunned for a moment, and even forgot the fear of his nightmare just now.

"Have we met somewhere?" Jiang Xian murmured.

"Are you sleeping like a fool?" Chi Luoxi chuckled, "We've been living together for three months, and you still use such old-fashioned excuses to strike up a conversation..."

Speaking of which, Chi Luoxi was also startled, her eyebrows frowned slightly: "Why do I feel like I had a similar conversation with someone before?"

Jiang Xian shook his head: "I don't know."

"Forget it." Chi Luoxi said, "What's the matter with you screaming so loudly just now?"

Jiang Xian replied: "I had a nightmare."

"Oh?" Chi Luoxi poured a glass of water and handed it to him: "What nightmare?"

After Jiang Xian took the water glass, he realized that his throat was so thirsty and sore, so he raised his head and poured water into it, only then did he feel relieved.

"No one is robbing you, why are you in such a hurry to drink." Chi Luoxi reached out and wiped away the water spilled from the corner of his mouth with the pulp of his thumb.

Jiang Xian went back to the bed and sat cross-legged, hugged the pillow and repeated the dream with Chi Luoxi, and finally said: "I always feel that this is not an ordinary nightmare."

"Is it true that all you saw in your dream were strangers?" Chi Luoxi asked.

Jiang Xian nodded, but then felt something was wrong. He didn't know the people around Zhang Chenrui. The only way to know him was Zhang Chenrui's diary, but the appearance of the characters couldn't be seen from the text, so Jiang Xian changed his words to a more conservative one. The answer: "I don't know too well, the faces in the dream are very blurry."

"Don't think about it yet." Chi Luoxi rubbed the top of his hair and stood up: "In the past few days, I will ask around to see if the scene in your dream has appeared. It's still early in the morning, so go to sleep."

"Hmm..." Jiang Xian grabbed the sleeve of Chi Luoxi who was about to leave.

"What? Are you afraid of sleeping alone?" Chi Luoxi stopped, turned around with a smirk and approached Jiang Xian, whispering like a whisper: "Do you want me to sleep with you? And free prostate massage... "

Jiang Xian: "...Get out!" Immediately, he threw the pillow in his arms at him.

Chi Luoxi took a step back, caught the pillow and hugged her into her arms, smiling like a fox stealing a chicken, Shi Shiran opened the door and left.

Looking at the bed with only the quilt left on her, after a while, a roar came from Jiang Xian's bedroom: "Fuck! Chi Luoxi, you idiot, give me back my pillow!!!"

In the second half of the night, Jiang Xian, who had no pillow, slept very peacefully until dawn.

It was a holiday on Saturday, and Chi Luoxi was talking on the phone with someone, when Jiang Xian walked out of the bedroom sleepily with his head on his head, he just heard his last sentence before hanging up: "Got it, I'll rush over today. "

"Morning." Jiang Xian yawned and walked into the bathroom. The enticing aroma of toasted bread wafted in the air. Just by smelling the smell, he could imagine the appearance of golden and crispy bread slices.

"It's getting late, it's already ten o'clock." Chi Luoxi casually put the phone on the coffee table: "Go wash up and eat, we're going out later."

"Where are you going?" Jiang Xian asked vaguely with a toothbrush in his mouth.

"Go to Aowan Village." Chi Luoxi replied, "Your nightmare last night has become a reality."

……

It takes more than five hours to take the train from M City to Aowan Village, and then change to a minibus from the town, and it takes more than half an hour to walk on the mountain road.

Jiang Xian felt familiar from the time he heard that name. When he got to the train station, he suddenly remembered that Aowan Village was mentioned in Zhang Chenrui's diary, where he lived with his grandmother, his only relative. village.

So the old lady in my dream is probably Zhang Chenrui's grandma?

Jiang Xian is an orphan, he doesn't quite understand this kind of emotion caused by blood ties, he is afraid that he will be suspected because of his insufficient performance, so he hesitates along the way whether to tell Chi Luoxi about this thing.

The old-fashioned green leather car slowly drove out of the station, and soon there was a rhythmic "click".

Outside the car window is a plain, and the continuous weeds are still trying their best to insist on their last stubbornness, turning yellow.

Jiang Xian stared out of the window in a daze. Chi Luoxi called him several times but he didn't hear him. He didn't recover from his stupor until the other party forcibly grabbed his shoulder and turned around.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Xian asked.

"I just wanted to ask you what's wrong." Chi Luoxi frowned: "What are you thinking about absent-mindedly all the way?"

"Chi Luoxi..." Jiang Xian looked at him: "My hometown is also called Aowan Village."

Chi Luoxi was stunned for a moment, he finally understood why Zhang Chenrui was so preoccupied all the way, he had heard some things about him from Lin Ruanxing, and knew that he had been dependent on his grandma since he was a child, so he wanted to come this time Although Jiang Xian didn't show too much worry on his face, he must be very anxious in his heart, so he held Jiang Xian's hand and comforted him solemnly like an oath: "Don't worry, no matter what happens, Everything is up to me, and I will definitely help you."

"Huh?" Of course Jiang Xian didn't know that Chi Luoxi had already pondered his own state of mind in his heart, so he blinked and responded blankly: "Oh, oh..."

Get off the train, transfer to a minibus, and finally set foot on the mountain road.

The air in the mountains is fresh, the vegetation is still green, and the scenery is beautiful. If this is just an ordinary outing, the feeling must be very good.

It's a pity that the long-distance travel along this road has already made Jiang Xian feel exhausted, and the rugged mountain road has added to the burden on his body. On the other hand, Chi Luoxi seems to be able to do a job with ease and not feel tired at all.

Jiang Xian felt that it was really unscientific in terms of his unhealthy living habits of staying up late, clubbing, smoking and drinking-oh, I almost forgot, the existence of Chi Luoxi itself was very unscientific.

Jiang Xian sighed resignedly, stepped on the small earth pits that were dug out on the steep slope and used as steps, and began to climb up.

The two walked for more than half an hour, and finally arrived at Aowan Village before the sun set.

The moment he stepped past the boundary marker of the village, the originally fresh air instantly became stagnant, and the scenery in front of him made Jiang Xian gasp—with the boundary marker as the line, the scenery outside the village was still beautiful, but the inside of the village was the same as him. Just like in the dream, the sky is gloomy, the vegetation is withered, and the wind is swirling to pick up the dead leaves on the ground, floating away like ghosts.

Desolate, gloomy and lifeless.

At the entrance of the village stood a fat middle-aged woman with short hair. She was wearing long-sleeved trousers and a pair of white gloves. She was tightly wrapped except for one head.

When she saw the two of them entering the village, she hurriedly greeted them, and said to Chi Luoxi respectfully, "Are you Mr. Chi?"

Chi Luoxi nodded.

"Great, Mr. Chi, I have been waiting for you here for a day, please find a way to save our village." The middle-aged woman said emotionally, and was about to kneel and kowtow to Chi Luo.

Jiang Xian hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but the arm he was holding was shriveled and stiff, without the slightest flexibility that a human body should have. He was so frightened that he quickly pulled his hand back and retreated.

The middle-aged woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand, and suddenly she turned her eyes on Jiang Xian, and exclaimed, "Xiao Rui, why are you back?!"
