When, when, when!

The landing bell at 3 a.m. came from a corner of the living room outside, low, stuffy and crisp.

Thirty years ago, this floor clock was quite fashionable furniture. It was simple and stable. It could not only tell the time, but also be used as furniture. It was definitely something that could improve its value at that time.

This was bought by Fang Tianming and his wife when they got married. The mechanism information in the floor clock is made of copper, and the quality is even better. It can't be said that as long as it can be stringed in time, it seems that the pendulum will wander for another 30 years.

Fang Tianming and his wife suddenly disappeared mysteriously. During the period when Fang Yuan left home to find his mother, the floor clock must have been silent. After Fang Yuan came back, he didn't intend to let it go again -- in other words, the clicking pendulum sound of this thing sounded very clear and harsh in the dark.

However, after Xia Xiaoyun forcibly settled in Fang's house, she liked this thing very much. She tried to look at it and found that it still works normally. Naturally, she had to boast to Laura that her golden finger played a role.

Whenever Xia Xiaoyun wakes up in the middle of the night, she can hear the clear click of the pendulum, which is very nice.

Most of the time, she listens to the clattering of the pendulum and falls into a sweet dream: Generally speaking, monotonous and regular sounds can play a certain hypnotic role, just like counting sheep.

Xia Xiaoyun rested very early tonight. She fell asleep before nine o'clock.

Laura didn't know what she was thinking, but she could see something that worried her from her seemingly plain expression. She wanted to persuade her, but she didn't know where to speak. She had to stand in front of the window and wait for the drizzle to fall. She sighed and went to bed.

When the rest time every night forms a certain rule, you may wake up in the middle of the night after falling asleep an hour and a half in advance.

Xia Xiaoyun was like this. After the floor clock in the living room struck twice, she slowly opened her eyes.

Just like most girls will light a small night lamp when they are resting, there is also a milky white night lamp in Xia Xiaoyun's room, which is on the wall at the door.

Dreamy milky light, scattered with unspeakable silence and tenderness.

The big rain of soybeans and the sound of smashing on the window glass can not destroy the warm environment.

Xia Xiaoyun reached for her mobile phone and looked at the time. After confirming that it was 3 a.m., she put down her hand and covered her eyes, letting her thoughts follow the dream.

When people wake up from a dream after a break, if it's bright outside, they will think of half at most even if they try hard to remember. But if they wake up in the middle of the night, even if they try hard to forget their dreams, they can only forget half at most.

It seems that day and night are quite different from the integrity of what people experience in their dreams.

Xia Xiaoyun woke up at three in the morning. When she closed her eyes and recalled what she had just met in her dream, she would think of most of it.

In her dream, she went to a place, a magical place. The environment was completely consistent with the world that Yan Ying had described to her.

That's the depths of Lop Nur.

How deep is it?

Yan Ying couldn't say it, because Fang Tianming didn't mention it to her. Anyway, it was very deep. Standing at the entrance of the pit with a diameter of hundreds of meters, you could only see the white fog.

This is a trumpet shaped pit. The top diameter is more than 100 meters, but the lower it is, the wider it is. There are not only mountains, but also forests, plains, rivers, palaces and villages.

In that world, there is a volcano that has erupted for many years.

If someone accidentally falls down from the hole, after passing through those white fog and bridge like rainbows, he will see the crater and the constantly churning magma in the crater.

I don't know how many years of magma has turned white, just like the summer noon sun. It will be dazzling if you look at it.

When the temperature is so high, all the harmful minerals in the magma have been melted and become pure magma. After the light is reflected back from the water vapor above, it plays the role of solar energy.

Everything grows by the sun.

With light and water, there will be life.

So in the direction of the sun, there are towering and tall cities.

There are happy people living in the city: the little daughter-in-law holding the child, the vendor shouting maltose along the street with a burden, and the old man walking around with his old friends on his back. Naturally, there is no lack of those heroic young heroes

This is Jiuyou world.

Deep in the Jiuyou world.

That is Baihong city. Everyone living in the city is a Baihong people.

Whether they are old or in the flower season, everyone has a face that the world envies: handsome men, beautiful women, slender figure and outstanding temperament.

Even those hawkers who hawk along the street, if they come to the outside world, are handsome men at the level of Tom Cruise.

Around Baihong City, there are grasslands, forests, fields, and more lakes and rivers everywhere.

The people of the Baihong family living in Baihong city love water more than life. They must soak in the water for at least half an hour after waking up every day before they do what they should do.

Fang Tianming tells Yan Ying, and Yan Ying tells Xia Xiaoyun that in the eyes of outsiders, it is the legendary paradise, even fairyland. Baihong city has always been bathed in the sun and dark for a moment.

Sufficient sunshine not only promotes the continuous growth of all things, but also affects human physical development, which can make them live for a long time - to a thousand years.

Without war or any oppression, they are a group of immortals living in fairyland.

Yan Ying asked Xia Xiaoyun: do you envy that place?

Xia Xiaoyun didn't want to think about it, so she nodded and said: eat 300 litchi a day, and don't quit being a Lingnan person.

She is using Su Shi's poem to express how much she yearns for that place like Yan Ying.

Who doesn't yearn for such a carefree fairyland?

Yan Ying smiled and said that she had not finished her words: there was no emotion for anyone, no relationship between husband and wife, and no family affection between mother and son and father and son. There were only old rules that stipulated what they could and could not do.

If they do something they shouldn't do, they won't be beheaded, they will only be exiled into the dark world.

What is the dark world?

Where there is light, there is darkness. This is an irrefutable truth, both in the outside world and in the Jiuyou world.

The word Jiuyou originally means deep darkness, but it is in the light that there will never be a little darkness. It is worthy of its name.

In fact, they should not call the place where they live the Jiuyou world, because the real Jiuyou world is 200 miles away from Baihong city and the sun will never shine.

That place is called the dark world by people in Baihong city.

Just as there is Baihong city in Jiuyou world, there is also a city in the dark world, called Guangming city.

The place where light shines all year round is called Jiuyou world, but the city hidden in darkness all year round is called Guangming City -- this is the biggest injustice in the world below.

The number of people living in the light city of the dark world far exceeds that in Baihong City, but they are slaves of the Baihong people. They open mountains, farm fields and raise six animals for young and beautiful CHILDES and young ladies. Therefore, they are also called the horse people.

Without the permission of Baihong City, anyone of the Ma nationality will be ruthlessly hunted within thirty miles of the city.

People in the city of light can live in darkness all year round. That is where they are enslaved. They can see the sun.

Yan Ying also told Xia Xiaoyun that the Ma people, who are many times more numerous than the Baihong people, are also quite handsome. However, few of them live longer than 40 years old, which has a certain relationship with their lack of time in the sun and heavy physical labor.

Xia Xiaoyun never dreamed that the horse people who were treated as cattle and horses by the Baihong people were their own relatives... Anyone who did not meet the harsh requirements of the Baihong people would be exiled to the dark world before the age of two, regardless of their life or death.

The parents of the children exiled there will not be the slightest sad. Their mother only has guilt and fear: they are ashamed that they have not been able to produce a qualified Baihong people, and they are afraid that when the second child no longer meets the requirements, they will have to be exiled to the dark world and become a slave.

After talking about this, Yan Ying asked Xia Xiaoyun again: do you still want to live in that world?

Xia Xiaoyun doesn't know how to answer. Although she has determined that her biological mother is Mrs. Jiuyou, the head of the Baihong family, she still can't imagine that all her children will meet the aristocratic conditions of the Baihong family.

Yan Ying didn't ask her to answer this question immediately. She just said that she should have time to decide whether she should stay in baihongcheng forever before she went to find her mother.

Xia Xiaoyun could wake up as like as two peas in the dream, who were not the same as the sons of the noble. How could they be the same as those of the square, and how could they not be qualified as a noble?

Xia Xiaoyun in the dream is not the sentimental aristocrats in Baihong city. When her son is taken away from Heisi, she will be frightened, angry, hysterical and have to take back her son.

But no matter how hard she tried, she was firmly grasped by those young and handsome warriors and couldn't catch a step.

She begged like Mrs. Jiuyou, for the sake of her grandson, let the child go!

Even if you really don't meet the conditions of nobility and have to be exiled, please ask your wife to exile their mother and son to the outside world together.

Mrs. Jiuyou sneered and told her that any child who did not meet the conditions of nobility, let alone my grandson, even my own daughter, had to be exiled into the dark world.

She said that she has lived for hundreds of years and will live for hundreds of years. In her thousands of years of life, Xia Xiaoyun cannot have only one daughter, nor can all children meet the conditions of nobility. What's strange about banishing unqualified children to the dark world?

As for Xia Xiaoyun's request to be exiled to the outside world, don't even think about it: once anyone enters the Jiuyou world, as long as he doesn't hold an important position, he will never want to leave until the flowers bloom on the other side.

"I don't want to go there!"

After shouting this sentence, Xia Xiaoyun woke up from her dream.

Then, she heard the bell. After determining the time, she began to recall everything in her dream.

When she recalled the whole process of her dream, she was about to tell herself not to go there when she suddenly heard a scream from the yard outside the window.
