I had no appetite at all for whatever dishes were served after that. My mind was filled with the bloody scene, but most of the others enjoyed their food.

Chen Xuejun had a little leftover from everything he ate, wrapped it in a napkin and secretly put it in his pocket.

"I advise you to eat more and pretend to be more secretly. I don't know how long it will take for you to have such a full meal next time!" He tilted his head and whispered to me.

I watched him eat with his mouth full of oil, and followed his advice. I packed a few snacks and fruits and stuffed them into my sweatpants pocket.

After dinner, the person in charge led everyone into the elevator in batches.

Just like when we arrived, we were also the last group.

When no one was paying attention, I asked Chen Xuejun if he knew who the other two were.

"They are a pair of siblings. When I came, they were already here. I don't know where they came from."

"You look so skinny and small. Are you going to do hard labor like this?"

"You look quite tall, but aren't you so useless?" The girl with straight bangs actually heard my whisper and looked at me sideways.

"Xiwu, that's not what he meant." Chen Xuejun quickly came out to smooth things over.

It turns out her name is Xiwu.

"Then what do you mean?" Yugiri didn't intend to let it go, and asked me provocatively.

"I mean, I think they are very unfair. You and your brother are so thin and small. What if you are bullied?"

"Hahahahaha," the girl laughed so hard, "Chaoyang, what do you think will happen to those who bully us?"

The boy named Chaoyang stopped what he was doing and looked at me with his big innocent eyes.

"Then kill him." Chaoyang's tone was calm and his expression was calm. But I felt a deep chill coming from the bottom of my heart...

I was careless. As expected, the people in this shelter are not ordinary people! Including this Chen Xuejun, I have to be careful!

After returning to Tiemen, I lay on the bed and thought about the many changes that had happened in a short period of time. I felt like it was a dream, so unreal... The fire was crackling, but I was full of confusion and confusion.

Bitter... Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

Suddenly there was another sharp alarm! I heard my sister’s voice outside the door. She was crying and calling for her brother, just like her crying next to my father when he was drunk and beating me. I couldn’t move because of my whole body.

, I couldn’t even say anything, only tears fell down and slid into the corners of my mouth, salty.

It turned out to be a dream.

No! This is not the house I stayed in before!

The warmth of the burning fire in the house was gone, and the soft bed under me was gone, and turned into a cold, damp, sticky brick floor.

What is going on? Could it be that the house in the cave, the man in sunglasses, Chen Xuejun, Xiwu, and Chaoyang were all my dreams? So where am I at this moment?

As a habit, I touched my trouser pocket and wanted to take out the cigarette case to smoke, but I found a package. Isn't this the same thing I put in my pocket during dinner?

I jumped up from the ground and groped in the darkness. It was too dark here, with no light source or reflected light. I couldn't see my fingers, which probably meant this.

My hand touched a huge barbed wire fence in front of me, and I was in a house about ten paces long and wide. There was nothing there, only darkness and dampness, and a smell of mold.

I shouted loudly, but there was no reply from me.

I slapped the barbed wire fence and the wall hard, trying to find the slightest bit of light, but it was useless, it was absolutely dark.

After exhaustion, I could only lean on the barbed wire fence. I felt thirsty, but all I had in my body was the dessert I had packed at the party. Eating that food would make me even thirstier.

I curled up into a ball and clasped my knees with my hands. In the absolute darkness, I couldn't sense anything except sound and smell. I could hear my own breathing, which was as loud as a tractor in this quiet place.

roar.

It seemed like something would rush out of the darkness at any time and tear me into pieces. It was precisely because I didn't know what was in the darkness that it further aggravated my fear.

I counted my heartbeats to calculate the time. Dehydration made me so weak that I could no longer scream. I kept counting, and when I reached about the hundreds of thousands of heartbeats, the unlucky takeaway robot squeaked.

Comes crunching.

My consciousness became slightly more focused, and the only source of light in the darkness ignited my hope again.

I wanted to speak, but I felt a sweet smell filling my mouth and chest. I knew it was blood.

The delivery robot threw a box through the gap in the wire and left. I moved over and opened it, and there was still dry food inside, like compressed biscuits.

"I want water!" He shouted with all his strength, but the sound was not loud.

Darkness and loneliness can easily destroy a person's spirit. I am already on the verge of collapse.

“There is something to eat”

An old voice came from the corner of this room!

Is there anyone else in this room?!

It's impossible. When I just woke up in this room, I touched every inch of it. There can't be anyone! And in such a quiet environment, there is no way he can't make any sound of breathing or heartbeat.

Bar!

Could it be...a ghost?!

I was frightened and regained some of my energy. Could it be that I was beginning to hallucinate?

"If you don't want to eat, can you give it to me?" The voice came from the corner again, but it was closer! And I couldn't see anything!

"Who are you!"

"People who are imprisoned here are just like you."

"You, why didn't you speak just now?" I was a little incoherent.

"You didn't see me, and you couldn't hear what I said..." This hoarse voice came from deep underground... It was even closer now! It was almost in my ears!

But when I opened my eyes wide, all I saw was darkness...

"Can I...eat your food..." The voice changed to the other side again, but I was completely blind now and could only judge his position by feeling.

I touched the box and handed it out carefully, and then a pair of rough hands snatched it away!

The hairs on my body exploded in an instant! What kind of hands are these... When they touch my skin, it feels like being rubbed by sandpaper!

Soon I heard the sound of chewing in the dark. I wasn't really hungry, I just felt thirsty.

"How long have you been locked up here?"

After hearing him finish eating, I asked him.

"I don't know, I don't know..."

"Has anyone been here?"

He laughed, and the laughter was worse than crying.

"Yes, but they are not from the early Yuan Dynasty, so they can't get out."

"Ape-man?"

He made that weird laugh again.

"why are you laughing?"

"I laughed at the person who was imprisoned this time. It seems that they really can't find anyone from the early Yuan Dynasty."

“Who exactly is an ape-man?”

"Do you believe people have souls?" he asked me.

"I don't believe it." I replied decisively.

If people have souls, why didn't I see my mother again, even in a dream?

"So are you an ape?"

"I'm not, so I'm stuck here."

"Then why did they arrest me? I'm not the one either."

"Hey hey hey," he laughed again, which made my hair stand on end. "You may be from the early Yuan Dynasty, and that's why they arrested you."

Maybe? Because I might be locked up in a place like this for experiments... "Many people in the early Yuan Dynasty may not have discovered the wonderful functions of their bodies until they die."

"What's the magic use?"

"I don't know, but I can teach you meditation, which may be helpful. As for whether it will work or not, I can't say. It all depends on you."

Anyway, it’s closed if it’s closed, just give it a try!

I sat down cross-legged, but he asked me to lie flat on my back. I slowly lay down on the cold, damp ground and listened to him whispering next to me.

After a few breaths, he began to guide me to imagine the operation of the meridians in my body. At first, it was difficult for me to concentrate. As I listened, my consciousness became scattered. Slowly, what he said gradually became concrete in my mind.

!

He asked me to imagine that I was in the grassland, and my consciousness condensed. I really felt like I was in the grassland, with the green grass, the sheep in the distance, even the freshness of the grass in the air, and even the cow dung I stepped on after taking two steps!

I know this is my imagination, but I have never imagined it so clearly, not even in dreams or memories!
