C199 (1/2)
It was an hour ago.
It was also when Fang Zishu and the Qi Sanbiaozi joined hands to fight against the female ghost 'You Ran'.
At that time, Ji Ruxue was at Fang Zishu's house, boringly watching television.
Perhaps it was because his nerves had been beating too hard recently, but Ji Ruxue collapsed on the sofa and fell asleep not long after.
This time, Ji Ruxue really did not have the chance to 'leisurely' encounter the female ghost in his dreams.
However, she had appeared in a vast, white world.
In that world, there were no living people around him, nor were there any living beings.
It was as if Ji Ruxue was the only one left in this world.
Ji Ruxue was extremely afraid, he shouted loudly, wanting to seek comfort here.
She kept shouting as she ran, darting around the white world.
After an unknown amount of time, when Ji Ruxue felt that her entire body was sore and her feet were numb, she finally walked out of that white and boundless world. But when she walked out of that white and boundless world, she suddenly discovered that she had appeared in a red world.
In that world, the sun was blood-red.
Even the ordinary river water was no longer blue like before, but a squirming black liquid.
Between the mountain ranges on both sides, there were countless enchanting, beautiful, and bizarre flowers.
Those flowers bloomed exceptionally brilliantly.
Ji Ruxue strolled along the mountain path, sizing up everything with incomparable curiosity.
Very quickly, Ji Ruxue met the first person near the Black Water River.
He was a strange person wearing a black conical hat that made it difficult to see his face.
Ji Ruxue went forward to ask where he was, but the man in the black hat turned a deaf ear. He sat on a small boat moored at the side of the Black Water River, and continued to pull at the black paddle in his hands from time to time.
After Ji Ruxue asked many times but to no avail, just as he was about to leave, the person wearing the black hat quietly asked: ”Miss, do you want to cross the river?”
After hearing that, Ji Ruxue's footsteps paused, and turned his body, once again asking for his location, but the man wearing the bamboo hat did not respond to Ji Ruxue's question, but repeated himself, ”Miss, do you want to cross the river?”
”Cross!”
Ji Ruxue clenched his teeth, and nodded as he boarded the black small boat.
On one hand, she wanted to see what was on the other side of the Black Water River, and at the same time, she wanted to take this opportunity to pry open the boatman's mouth. She had to find out where she was and how she was going to get back to the world she was familiar with!
The Black Water was spotless and wriggled gently like ink.
Even though there was a heart-penetrating chill coming from time to time, the water surface didn't fluctuate in the slightest.
”Boatman, where is the other side of the Black Water River?” Ji Ruxue asked.
The boatman wearing a black bamboo hat remained silent.
”Boatman, is there anyone else here besides you?”
Seeing that the boatman did not reply, Ji Ruxue changed the topic, wanting to start from another angle.
However, the boatman seemed to be unmoved by Ji Ruxue's question, and ignored it as he continued to swing the oars on both sides of the small boat.
Creak …
Creak …
The sound of a rotten and rhythmic paddling could be heard.
That voice seemed to carry an endless amount of magic, which actually caused Ji Ruxue's restless heart to gradually calm down.
