While the two youths were stunned, the young man who claimed to be Fang Li had already stabbed his knife into their chests.
"Sss." Fang Li couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. It hurt so much.
"Who says that you don't know pain in your dreams? It obviously hurts so much." These were the words that echoed in Fang Li's mind before he fainted.
By the time the three of them were trapped in the temple, the sun had already set. By the time the three of them had escaped, the sky had already begun to darken.
The sunlight on the horizon had already turned blood-red. When the last hint of blood-red sunlight was blocked by the mountain peak in the distance, the pillar and Lu Bei carried Fang Li to the empty village on each side.
As the sky darkened, they decided to spend the night in the village and wait for Fang Li's injuries to heal before heading north to escape.
Along the way, when the pillars and northern land saw the devil, they would take turns to lure them away using Fang Li's method. They would move softly and cautiously, safely returning to the familiar village before nightfall.
They found a house that seemed to be sturdy, prepared food and water, and brought in many wooden planks. After fixing the house up, they moved in many stones to block the surroundings.
Fortunately, Lu Bei recognized some of the herbs and prepared the medicine for stopping the bleeding. The knife in Fang Li's chest was not very deep, and it did not pose a threat to his life, but he did not dare to carelessly dispose of it, fearing that he would lose too much blood.
As he looked at the herbs he had prepared, he took a deep breath and nervously stared at the pillar. Swift eyes and quick hands, he quickly pulled out the knife that had been stabbed into Fang Li's chest.
He placed the herb on its surface until the amount of blood gradually decreased. Then, he wrapped a piece of cloth around Fang Li's chest and wrapped it in a large circle.
Although this method was simple and somewhat crude, under the current circumstances, this was the only way.
Throughout the entire process, Fang Li did not wake up. Perhaps it was because he had left a lot of blood on the way and his body was extremely weak.
Seeing the bandaged wounds, Kubei and Pillar relaxed.
This seemingly solid environment and relaxed mind made the two of them unknowingly feel sleepy, and they had no appetite to eat. They huddled together and unknowingly fell asleep.
When Lu Bei woke up, it was already noon of the second day. He took a look at his surroundings, and his eyes gradually became clear.
Recalling what happened yesterday, he could not help but feel grateful to Fang Li, who was still lying on the bed.
He had originally no longer held any hope, but with the words of the other party, he had regained his hope in life. Finally, under the other party's lead, he had survived.
This kindness, Lu Bei felt that he would never forget it for the rest of his life.
This enigmatic youth had saved both him and the pillar. After saying those last few words, he had pulled out a knife and stabbed it into his chest. Just why was that?
"He said that Zhu Luo was like him at a young age, and I was like his youth. Isn't he still a youth?" Looking at the sleeping youth, Kubei thought: "Then the last sentence, this bizarre dream, wake up. "What does that mean?"
"Could it be that this is the first time I've seen those devils, and they think I'm in a dream?" Just as this thought appeared in his mind, he immediately laughed bitterly and rejected it, "He's so calm when facing the devil, how can he be considered to be in a trance?"
"Cough, cough cough." Seeing Fang Li slowly open his eyes, he could not help but be pleasantly surprised.
"Do you have water?" Fang Li muttered to himself.
"Yes, yes." Kubei immediately scooped up a bowl of water. He carefully helped Fang Li sit up.
The ice-cold water entered his throat and flowed down his throat all the way to his stomach. It also stimulated Fang Li's brain, causing him to lose his wits. His eyes became much clearer.
After finishing the bowl of water, Fang Li looked seriously at the young man in front of him for the first time, this young man named Lu Bei.
He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. His eyes were clear and limpid. Straight nose and mouth.
Many people gave people the feeling that the first time was sun, depression, righteousness, or evil. In the future, when they interacted with each other, there would be very few differences.
Fang Li looked at the youth before him, then looked at the wound on his chest that was still faintly aching from the bandaging. He placed his hand on the sore spot on his chest and ruthlessly massaged it without hesitation.
"Hiss." The wound split open again, and the blood instantly turned the grey cloth red.
Fang Li felt the pain as the cloth covering his chest slowly seeped into his blood. He frowned.
"Real pain." Fang Li muttered.
"Young brother, what's wrong? If there is something that cannot be solved, then why must you cripple your own body? " Lu Bei looked at Fang Li's actions for a split-second and became extremely nervous.
Fang Li's frown showed no signs of loosening, as if he was thinking of something.
"Could it be that this isn't a dream?"
Finally, Fang Li's words rang out in his heart.
Fang Li was a man of the twenty-first century. Ever since his career in school ended, he had not done much and gradually enjoyed living a dull life in his dorm. He either read all kinds of novels or stared at variety shows to pass the time.
With the passing away of his family, Fang Li finally had some ideas that he shouldn't continue to live on like this. However, his newly formed ambitions collapsed after his girlfriend, who had been in love for many years, resolutely broke up with him.
After experiencing the passing away of his family and the separation of his girlfriend, Fang Li's heart broke as well.
Perhaps there was a saying in the 21st century that only after experiencing suffering would one understand how to struggle hard. However, once this speed surpassed the endurance of a person for a short period of time, it would only cause one to collapse.
In the face of such a lifeless life, in the face of those who were important to him leaving one by one, Fang Li fell into despair.
Difficult to drink all day long.
He felt that life had become a terrible mess, that living was boring.
Time and time again, in the days of intoxication and dreams, the sun and the moon would never be seen.
In the eyes of outsiders, Fang Li was crippled.
The lofty aspirations of the past had turned into a joke when one's family had fallen. This huge difference was not even enough to allow Fang Li to adapt, and his relative had passed away. After that, the bold words that he had once said became laughable words that the girl could not finish.
Perhaps to that girl, she had never believed that Fang Li could be that good of a person. She had only believed that before her family fell into danger, Fang Li's well-off family background in the village would allow her to feel safe.
Therefore, when family fell, when family left, the girl no longer believed that it would be better and chose to leave.
Ever since the girl had left, Fang Li had often dreamed, so much so that in the end, Fang Li could tell if it was a dream or not. He had a lot of research on dreams. In the dreams, he did not know pain, and everything was blurry. He did not know where he had come from or where he had come back.
However, right now, Fang Li could clearly recall everything that had happened in his mind. His life from a young age until now, as well as the passing away of a loved one whom he had shielded away from his dreams, could all be clearly recalled.
"Is it really not a dream?" As Fang Li thought about the past, he could not help but let two streams of tears fall.
"Where is this?" Fang Li lowered his head and mumbled.
Seeing Fang Li fall into a state of silence, then tears that seemed to be in pain fell from Lu Bei's eyes. While feeling slightly nervous, he heard Fang Li's words. Subconsciously, he said that this was the village of Lu.
"Village Lu?" Fang Li repeated himself in a low voice. Although he had a slight impression of the name, when he searched through his mind for the name, he found nothing.
When Lu Bei heard Fang Li's puzzled tone, he remembered that Fang Li was dressed in silk and did not seem like a person from this village. Thus, he added, "A few hundred li away from here is Qingan County."
"Village Lu? "Qingan County?" Fang Li sighed. The familiar feeling became clearer, but he could not figure out where it came from.
"This is the land of Yuan Lu."
"Yuan Lu Country!" Fang Li repeated in a daze, "Village Lu, Qingan County, Yuan Lu Country, Northern Lu, Pillar?"
"Lil 'Big Bro, what happened to you?" Seeing Fang Li's dazed expression, Lu Bei asked worriedly.
"I wish I had." Deep in Fang Li's memories, he finally found the reason why he felt all of this was so familiar. He still vaguely remembered that he was the heir in that dream. However, at the start of the country war, a large portion of the land of Yuan Lu fell and the situation became precarious. After that, he lost all his memories. It was as if he woke up here every time he saw the land.
With regards to this scene that had repeatedly appeared in his dreams, if he had not experienced yet another familiar yet unfamiliar name, Fang Li would never have thought of it.
At that time, Fang Li only thought that he had read a lot of novels, and thus, that fantasy story came true in his dreams. He had never thought that one day, the world of his dreams would become real.
If the world in the dream was real, was it still a dream?
For a moment, Fang Li didn't know what to do. If this familiar feeling was because of a dream, then when the dream became a real world, was the world that he thought was real a dream?
Thinking of this, Fang Li fiercely slapped himself a few times, all the way until Kubei hastily held down his hand.
In that instant, Fang Li couldn't help but want to confirm that this wasn't a dream.
Feeling the stinging pain on his face, Fang Li found it even more difficult to accept.
At this moment, the pillar also opened his sleepy eyes. He was woken up and stared blankly at Lu Bei and Fang Li. After which, he hurriedly looked outside the window.
"Hey hey hey, lower your voice, there are a lot of devils surrounding us outside," the conversation between the two undoubtedly attracted the attention of the devils outside. You see, the devils are already tearing down our houses. "
After Fang Li's experience dealing with the Devils, Pillar no longer feared the Devils.
"When your injuries are better, let's head west to Qingan County," Lubei said at this moment. Although it's hundreds of miles away from us, it's already the closest county city I know. Once they reached Qingan County, they would know how widespread the disaster was. They would also know where was the safe zone and where the demons would gather. Perhaps we can find out the reason behind the appearance of these devils. "
Fang Li did not speak. His brows were tightly knitted together. Everything that had happened was so strange that it was difficult for him to remain calm.
"Whatever Brother Lu says, I'll do. Brother Lu's brain is much better than mine." Zhu Chi said in a silly manner.
On the third day, Fang Li was able to move normally. Although his wounds were not too deep, they were no longer affected by the dull pain.
In the past few days, Fang Li had been thinking about many things. He even wondered if those clear memories were the real dreams, and the world he was in now was the real one.
