Cunning General Si Ning
Chapter 264: Strange

Chapter 264: Strange

It was dark fall so dark that Si Ning was very confused that not even a small light for him to see, he doesn’t know what was happening but he could tell he was laying on the ground, the ground was confusing because what he was touching wasn’t sand or dried leaves, what he was touching seemed like weeds or grasses but it was almost poking his hands and the air was moving so he could tell he was outside but he was sure his eyes were wide open yet he could see the sky, not a single star no moonlight and before he could guess where he was as he stood up careful to his feet in the dark, it suddenly became brighter like a switch turned on the moment he was on his feet, he even closed his eyes due to the sudden brightness but opened it, blinking to adjust to the light and he found himself in the field, he was standing on a brownfield, all he could see was brown grasses.

What?

The air was different, no stench of blood, everything was cool and the breeze feels nice on him which brought him feeling a sense of Deja Vu because he knew what was happening.

The dream.

The same dream!

Si Ning suddenly turned back to look behind him and just as he expected his other self was standing there looking at him eye to eye and they found themselves staring at each other but something was different this time, he had a physical body and he was dressed in amour facing his modern day self, they were the same people in a different timeline, the dream was different and this made fear to sip into his heart because his dream always starts from the desert and end in the field, in the dream he never had a physical body but now that he possessed one he knew he was in trouble, something was terribly wrong and for the first time he felt lucky about his nightmare where he had no physical body.

Was he dead?

Dead!

Could he be dead?

No one could answer him so he didn’t take a step forward, he remembered everything, he remembered the man Ge Liang that held his mother’s head as he rode at high speed with the aim of him falling into his trap and a new form of hate surged around Si Ning’s body, he doesn’t want to die yet, he still had a lot of things to do, he needs to kill Ge Liang even if it was going to take his life, Ge Liang must die and he was going to try everything within his power to succeed and he must succeed and go after Qiu Bai next and after everything he wants to see Xiu Zhicheng the love of his life, seeing he was going to melt away all his stress, he wants to tell him he loves him and he wants to stay in Xiu and live just like Ah Dai told him to, he was going to live quietly after everything so he couldn’t die yet and he took a step back away from his modern self that had always been there.

"I do not want to go! I want to go back! I have to live! I want you to send me back!" Si Ning yelled but his other self was just looking at him with an impassive look and seeing that he wasn’t about to be stopped made him turn and wanted to run back.

Si Ning had always been the one chasing his other self but this time around he was going to run from him but the moment he tried to take a step, he was unable to like an invisible force was blocking him, he turned to see his other self still watching him with a hand raised, towards him like he was saying ’take my hand.’ But Si Ning shook his head in horror, he had no idea what was waiting for him if he took the hand and he doesn’t want to, his heart started to accelerate because he fears that his modern self would step forward and grab his hand.

"I said I want to go back!" Si Ning shouted with so much force and he suddenly felt like being pushed out like he was pushed out of the dream.

"Eh eh eh ah ah ah...."

Si Ning opened his eyes slowly and someone breathing hard like they were carrying a heavy load was the first thing he heard, he blinks trying to see clearly, the ground was moving which means they were on the move but he wasn’t the one moving, someone walking carried him on their back and he seemed like he was the heavy load they carried. Si Ning was tired and felt his body aching all over, his hand was hurting so much as it swings beside him but he had no energy to raise and look at his hand or to make the hand still, he wasn’t bound so he could tell the person carrying him wasn’t an enemy since they even carried him on their back, he listened and heard no other footsteps which mean they were the only ones on that path.

Strange.

"P...ut.. me.. down," Si Ning said with struggle, his voice was a bit raspy and he felt a slight pain in his throat that he even coughed.

"Si Ning." The person carrying him called alarmed with a relieved voice and he took two hurried steps forward before carefully placing Si Ning down on the ground to rest his back on a tree as he placed a hand on his forehead.

Si Ning found himself facing a worried looking Song Feng desperately trying to measure his temperature as he checks his eyes. It was the first time Si Ning would see Song Feng looking so untidy, his hair rough, his face covered in dirt with sweats running down his face, his cloth drenched in sweats, stained with dirt and blood, his arm bare due to one sleeve that was missing probably torn off and he looked like someone that crawled out from the abyss but it was just Si Ning exaggerating because Song Feng doesn’t look that bad but he seemed like he just walked out of hell because he smelt so bad too due to the dried blood mixed with sweat but Si Ning also smelt the same so he couldn’t complain.

"Are you feeling pain anywhere? Are you alright? How is your head? Do you know who I am?" Song Feng started asking a lot of questions. "I lost all my medicines but I can get some medicinal leaves to crush with stone and apply to your wound." He said as he looked around and wanted to stand to look for the leaves but Si Ning grabbed him.

Si Ning’s hand stings so he quickly released Song Feng like he was burnt by the touch but he only directed his gaze to his hand and saw that a cloth was tied around his hand, the cloth was bloody but it matched Song Feng’s attire which means he must have received a massive injury by which Song Feng tore his sleeve to bandage his hand. "Where are the rest?" He asked, he raised his hand to his head to see it was bandaged with a cloth too because he remembered hitting his head.

Si Ning was now able to notice little details of Song Feng like the cut on his cheek, his arm with the sleeve was tied roughly with a cloth at the middle part, it was a poor job done but it would stop the bleeding and also soak a lot of blood not to leave a bloody trail behind and it seemed like that was the purpose of the roughly tied arm.
