Chapter 323 – Brother Is Not Dead! (1/2)

Chapter 323: Brother is not dead!

From the black bramble trees, came the hoot of a night owl.

Li Muyang waded through a swamp, raised his head and gazed into the distance, where there was an endless darkness.

The trees were dense and the river had a strong stench of fish.

Li Muyang's lower body was drenched, and he could hear the sound of water filled boots squelching with his footsteps as he treaded through the swamp.

His face and body were muddy, his clothes were ragged, and his face was dirty. It seemed he had gone without bathing for a long time.

CAW CAW CAW-——

A group of night spider crows fluttered past him, dropping lumps of mud.

Just then, Li Muyang suddenly stopped.

His expression became extremely strange, his eyebrows deeply furrowed.

He swung his hip, swiveled his right leg in a circle.

Then he bent down with a puzzled expression on his face and reached into the dark, icy water.

When he pulled his hand back up, there was a white object gripping and twisting around his hand.

White Snake!

A white snake with a completely snow white body and an extremely ugly face!

Cha！

Suddenly the white snake broke free of Li Muyang's hand, and opened up its jaw, revealing its long, sharp teeth and pouncing over to Li Muyang's face.

“Ah——” “

Li s.h.i.+nian sprang up from the bed.

When she saw the mosquito net above her head, she realised that she just had a nightmare.

Hearing the loud noise, Luo Qi came darting over holding a lamp, looked at Li s.h.i.+nian sitting in the corner in a daze, and asked with a concerned look on her face, “s.h.i.+nian, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”

“Mother, I dreamt of my brother.” Li s.h.i.+nian looked seriously at her mother. “I dreamt that he was walking alone in the woods, the river flooded up to his knee. He reached into the water and felt a white snake, and the white snake suddenly opened its mouth to bite his head——”

“It's just a dream.” Luo Qi comforted.

“The white snake was so huge, no, the snake's mouth was so big that it swallowed brother's entire head——”

Luo Qi's face was scrunched up in worry, but still comforted her, “Silly child. It was just a dream. Anything can happen in a dream. In the past, you often dreamt of becoming a powerful warrior, flying above the houses——your brother will be fine.”

“If he's fine, then why hasn't he come back?” Li s.h.i.+nian asked.

“That's because it's not vacation time yet.”

“He should still write a letter back. I heard from Tianyu that the young lady of the Lu family is also at Starry Sky. She often writes letters back home.” Li s.h.i.+nian refuted her mother's weak argument. “Has something happened to big brother? Last time I went to see Grandpa Lu, I asked him to help me to bring a letter to brother. He smiled and agreed, and took my letter. But why hasn't my brother returned my letter yet?”

“What?” Luo Qi exclaimed. “You went to find Master——Lu to help you send a letter?”

“Yes. I thought that as long as he was willing to help, he would be able to do it. After all, he is such a powerful figure.”
