When the white light faded, what caught Wei Ran's eyes was the blanket that was still covering him.

After a quick reaction, he pulled off the blanket and looked towards the window. The thick curtains were quite good at blocking out light, but at the edge, one could still see the hazy strips of light from the sunlight coming in from outside.

Lying with his head up on the bed, Wei Ran stared at the tattoo on the tiger's mouth of his left hand, and his mind recalled the "rules" he received when his fingertips touched the white vortex before entering that dream.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to put on the blanket again and turn on the flashlight, then took out the metal book and turned to the latest page.

At this moment, the white vortex has turned into the hazy outline of an edelweiss flower, and at the same time, there is also a countdown seal that obviously starts from 720 hours.

Thanks...

Wei Ran put away the metal book and murmured his gratitude softly. According to the rules given to him by the living ancestors in the book, he had the opportunity to "dream" once a month, and each dream lasted 12 hours.

He can even use the suitcase he obtained before to bring some gifts to Clara in the "dream", such as clothes, jewelry, desserts, drinks, and other things that don't bear too distinct a mark of the times.

But he couldn't take anything out of the "dream", not even an edelweiss or a blade of grass. He couldn't take out anything from the metal book except the suitcase.

Even so, even though he didn't know whether the world weaving dreams was real or fake, Wei Ran was still extremely satisfied and grateful.

On the other hand, there was not much warmth under the buttocks, which also confirmed another situation in the "rules" that required his attention.

After entering the dream, he will also disappear from this world. In other words, during those 12 hours in the dream, he will truly leave this world.

This didn't matter to him. At most, he just wanted to find a safe place when he "dreamed" in the future.

Compared with these minor inconveniences, no, that may not be considered an inconvenience, but rather a trump card in a certain sense.

No matter what it was, what he got compared to these was a safe haven where he could confide all his unspeakable secrets.

only...

Was that really a dream?

Wei Ran couldn't help but start thinking about this issue again.

If it is a dream, whose dream is it?

My dream is still...

Edelweiss dream?

This is destined to be a question that cannot be answered, but he stretched his body on the bed and let out a long sigh of contentment. His whole body felt much more relaxed as if he had put down the burden he had been carrying for a long time.

Dreaming shouldn't be considered cheating, after all, I didn't do anything...

Wei Ran muttered something vaguely, and soon fell asleep again.

When he was awakened by a slow knock on the door, it was already close to noon.

"Wait a moment" Wei Ran said as he sat up as quickly as possible, put on his clothes and opened the door.

"How did you sleep last night?" Outside the door, Aladdin, codenamed "Fly", asked with a smile as Wei Ran opened the door.

"Sorry, I overslept due to jet lag and the red wine last night." Wei Ran said apologetically.

"It's okay, if you want to sleep again..."

"No, no need."

Wei Ran waved his hand quickly, "If you continue to sleep, I will have insomnia at night."

"In that case, do you want to have lunch together?"

Aladdin smiled and said, "Except for the staff, there are only two people in this farm now, you and me."

"Just the two of us?"

Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, "Where are the others?"

"Kurt has returned to the tuning shop. Although he is retired, he is a workaholic. His wife made an appointment a week ago to take the children to the dentist today to adjust their braces."

Aladdin asked Wei Ran to follow him and said as he walked to the restaurant, "Hanwad was just a guest. He should have gone home last night. After all, it is not very convenient for his wife to live alone."

"Actually, I'm ready to leave," Wei Ran said with a smile, and picked up the suitcase and briefcase leaning against the door.

"Are you ready to leave too?"

Aladdin glanced at Wei Ran in surprise, and after a moment of silence asked, "Are you going to visit Yashar's parents?"

Wei Ran nodded naturally and explained, "I will help you keep the secret from Yashar. Of course, I will also help you find the negatives of those photos."

"Actually, I wanted to ask a question yesterday," Aladdin said, bringing Weiran a cup of coffee.

"What's the problem?"

"Why are you willing to help us?" Aladdin asked seriously.

“Does justice count?”

"Of course, but there must be other reasons?"

"You must have read the news about Mr. Yashar in China, right?" Wei Ran asked, picking up his coffee cup.

"Because of the diary?" Aladdin reacted immediately.

"About a week ago, he found me with those two diaries."

Wei Ran smiled and explained, "One of them is a relic of a Chinese Volunteer Army soldier, and the other is a prisoner of war diary left by Yashar's grandfather.

Even these two things alone are enough for me to help him find his parents, and help you find some things by the way."

"Not long ago, I saw the news about those precious photos you found."

Aladdin said, "The scenes recorded in the photos shocked me very much, especially the corpses of the soldiers by the swamp river.

You, I mean China, you must have paid a very heavy price to drive away the invaders, right?"

"In 14 years, at least 35 million."

Wei Ran sighed, "It took us 14 years and at least 35 million casualties to drive away the invaders."

"We can't raise 35 million people"

Aladdin stared blankly at the snow-capped mountains outside the window, and said with a hint of despair, "But we have begun our sixth 14-year struggle, Victor, do you think we can..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Yes, of course it can, and it must be possible."

Wei Ran put down her coffee cup and walked to the window. She looked at the tall and lush cedar on the top of the slope in the distance and said, "That edelweiss, she and her friends have set fire to that land in the darkest time."

A flash of fire.

You, whether you are Hanward, Ed Holler, or the young man who left your diploma and all your honors in that glass showcase, you are all the kindling that bursts out of the fire."

Having said this, Wei Ran turned to look at Aladdin, "I believe that it was not just Edelweiss and Yashar's parents who lit the fire, it was not just hot air balloons and bats, and the freelance journalist Mr. Alan Varta.

You are definitely not the only one who caused those fires to burst out.

I even believe that one day these sparks of fire will eventually converge into a prairie fire.

You will definitely take back the land that belongs to you and drive away the invaders who trample on the land and lives."

Looking at Aladdin who fell silent, Wei Ran walked back to the table, picked up the coffee cup and took another sip, "Mr. Aladdin, thank you and the Holler family for your hospitality. I'm going to leave now."

"Don't you want to have lunch together?" Aladdin asked subconsciously after coming back to his senses.

Wei Ran smiled and said, "Wait until I find those negatives. Now I just want to go to the gravesite of Yashar's parents as soon as possible."

"Well... okay, I'll take you to the city."

Aladdin then stood up, hesitated and said, "Victor, this matter may not be as safe as you think. You...you have to be careful of chair-breaking people, they are all madmen.

If you notice anything wrong, it's best to stop immediately, and..."

Aladdin took a deep breath at this point and said, "Break ties with us."

"I'll be careful." Wei Ran smiled, picked up his briefcase and suitcase and opened the door.

Finally, he looked up again at the tall and lush cedar on the top of the slope. Wei Ran let the warm sunshine and the cool breeze blowing from the direction of the snow-capped mountains shine on his body, stretched to his heart's content, and then pointed not far away.

There was an off-road vehicle parked there, "Mr. Aladdin, can you let me drive that vehicle on the way back?"

"sure"

Aladdin, who had just opened the driver's door, nodded easily and simply gave up the driving job to Wei Ran. He walked around to the passenger seat, opened the door and got in.

Putting all the suitcases and briefcases, which were not too big, into the rear compartment, Wei Ran got into the cab and closed the door.

Compared with the emergency ambulance of the year, this off-road vehicle that has not yet been modified does not seem to have changed much. Even its gear lever has been hung with a rabbit riding blue eye pendant.

"This is a manual transmission off-road vehicle"

Aladdin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, pointed to the three iconic gear levers between the two of them and said, "If you want to go faster, you can turn off the differential lock."

"I've driven this kind of car"

As Wei Ran spoke, he started the engine skillfully and drove the off-road vehicle away from the farm.

"Why are you still using this outdated car? I remember that this kind of car was discontinued many years ago."

Weiran randomly started a topic. This car can indeed be considered outdated - whether it is the manual transmission or the rear space which is not spacious compared to an emergency vehicle.

"It's true, Kurt ordered these before they were discontinued, but they don't go out of style."

Aladdin is extremely satisfied with this car, "Compared with the original model, the 3.2-liter turbocharged diesel engine has greatly improved its power. It can run on paved roads much faster and can even meet the requirements of Euro VI."
