Chapter 672: Ruined Village
Chapter 672: Ruined Village
After half an hour, they arrived at the deserted village they had found.
The carriage stopped in front of the woods outside the deserted village. After Yue Fuli got off the carriage, his eyes became even more gloomy when he saw this dilapidated deserted village.
This deserted village is almost the same as the one in the painting, except that it is more dilapidated in reality, but the location is correct.
The scenes in the dream overlapped with reality, which was too unbelievable. The most important thing was that he had never been to this place before.
Si He looked at this place she had not seen for a long time, and her emotions were very complicated. She didn't know how to face Yue Fuli. She wanted to pretend to be surprised, but she really couldn't do it at this time, so she could only maintain a calm expression.
Fortunately, Yue Fuli's attention was on the deserted village in front of him at this time, and he didn't notice her obviously abnormal expression.
But Gao You, who was holding an umbrella for Si, noticed it. He could see that her calm expression was filled with restraint, and her fingers subconsciously clenched slightly into fists.
This expression reminded Gao You of the time when he went to Tianshan and passed through Gucheng. Si He went into the city to look at the ruined house. He was like this at that time, trying his best to control his emotions, and there seemed to be a surging wave hidden under the calmness.
The autumn wind is howling, and the coldness penetrates into the bones.
Si He's cloak rustled in the wind, and the cold wind blew against her face, making the heat in her eyes fade away, and her mood gradually calmed down.
After a while, she finally calmed down, turned to look at Yue Fuli, and asked, "Husband, do you want to go take a look?"
"Yeah." Yue Fuli responded, then took her hand and walked towards the deserted village in front of them.
The sky was a little gloomy at this time, and without the sunlight, Gao You did not hold an umbrella and followed silently.
"Ga~ga~"
A few crows flew over the deserted village, making hoarse cries. The sound penetrated the dead air, like a few stones falling into an ancient well, but also made the village seem even more desolate.
This deserted village has been in ruins after being abandoned for decades. Most of the houses have collapsed, the earthen walls are crooked, and the weeds are half a person's height, burying the roads. The collapsed houses are also overgrown with weeds, but the weeds are all dry and yellow, just like the ruins, lifeless.
"Husband, this place is just like the scene in your painting. Do you remember that dream now?"
"No, it just feels strangely familiar."
When Si He heard him say this, she suddenly felt as if her heart was being squeezed tightly by someone. She could only adjust her mood secretly. After a while, she turned to look at Yue Fuli.
He stared at the deserted village ahead, his handsome profile with a tense jaw and slightly pursed lips.
Si He smiled and said, "Since it's a dream, it's normal to feel familiar."
He said, “Is it just a dream?”
The deep and mellow words seemed to be answering her, but also seemed to be asking himself.
Si He opened her mouth, but swallowed back what she wanted to say, and said, "What else?"
Yue Fuli said nothing more, took her hand and came to the deserted village.
At this moment, there was no road in front of the two of them, and half-human-high withered weeds blocked the way forward.
The accompanying guards hurried forward, drew their swords, and cut a path through the withered weeds in front of them.
Yue Fuli and Si He slowly walked through the passage into the dilapidated ruins, startling some small animals in the surrounding grass piles along the way. Some huge mountain rats were rustling and running around in the grass piles.
In the dilapidated and deserted village, even after clearing the withered weeds, the road is still difficult to walk on and the mud is bumpy.
The guards silently cleared the way ahead. As the dead grass around them was slowly cleared, the walls and rubble of the deserted village gradually became clearly visible, and some dead bones were even revealed on the mud.
Judging from the traces of these dry bones, it is obvious that they are many years old.
Si He looked at the dry bones, her drooping eyelashes blinking gently, her thoughts drifting away, and past memories slowly emerging in her mind.
Along the way, she was silent and let Yue Fuli lead her into the depths of the deserted village.
When we got here, the autumn wind seemed to be stronger. When the wind blew through the windows of the empty houses and the collapsed walls, it made sounds that sometimes whimpered and sometimes screamed.
Finally, Yue Fuli somehow came to a dilapidated house, and the guards tacitly cleared the dead grass in front of them.
Looking at this dilapidated house, Si He's heartbeat slowly began to speed up again. She asked, "Husband, is there anything special about this place?"
When she asked this question, her face showed no unusual emotion and her voice was normal, as if she was just asking out of curiosity.
Yue Fuli said: "I don't know, maybe it appeared in my dream."
His voice was light and low, and was not very clear under the whistling autumn wind.
He looked at the scene before him, and the strange emotion in his heart became stronger and stronger, as if this was a special place, but he couldn't describe it clearly.
Such a dilapidated house in a deserted village actually touched his heart so much.
It was as if he had really been here before, or as if this place had a special connection with him.
But no matter which one it is, it's incredible.
Si He looked quietly at the dilapidated ruins. This place was very different from the houses and courtyards in her memory. It was so dilapidated that only the rough outline could be seen. Time had passed and things had changed.
However, at this time, the emotions in her heart had slowly calmed down, just like the surface of a lake after a storm, when it calmed down, only tiny ripples remained, and they gradually faded away.
There seemed to be an invisible suppression that made the lake surface still and ripples.
She has become more and more skilled at suppressing her inner emotions without leaving any trace.
But suppression is suppression after all. Maybe one day when it accumulates too much, it will erupt like a volcano.
Gao You, who was not far away, saw this scene and felt it was particularly familiar. Si He was like this when she was in Gucheng. She looked at the ruins and seemed to be reminiscing, but this time she did not show any emotion.
Gao You only took a glance and then silently looked away, pretending that he knew nothing and didn't see anything.
Under Yue Fuli's orders, the other guards searched the place, but found nothing. It was just an ordinary ruin, with nothing special and nothing special.
After a while, Yue Fuli said to Si He, "Let's go."
"Yeah." Si He responded, took a last look at the scene here, then retracted her gaze and followed him towards the outside of the deserted village.
When I left, I felt much more relaxed than when I came, and I returned the same way.
The sky was still gloomy at this time, and the autumn wind was howling, as if a storm was about to come.
"Husband..."
When they reached the entrance of the deserted village, Si He was about to speak when suddenly some movement came from the distant mountains and forests.
"Run! Faster..."
"Bang bang bang..."
Si He turned her head and saw from afar two men in a miserable state being chased and attacked by a ferocious wild boar.
