Dream Guide

Hu Xing didn't know how long she had been falling downwards, it felt like several days had passed. But she knows that this feeling is endless. According to Aoki, there is actually no time in dreams. Time is just an illusion of hers.

But she couldn't forget the concept of time, and anxiety and fear of falling kept tormenting her. She almost quit several times, but fortunately there was Aoki by her side.

Finally, a soft light emerged from the darkness, and then the light became harsh and dazzling.

Then a red sun appeared in the sky, hanging quietly above the head, very close, and the scorching heat was extremely painful.

The outline of the mountain slowly appeared, and beautiful terraces layer by layer appeared in front of us. There were many people working faintly in the fields.

Xia Wenyuan walked barefoot and led a cow from the field ridge. He shouted "Uh oh oh" and drove the cows into the field.

"Is this my grandpa's dream? It's so beautiful! I also want to farm!" Hu Xing remembered that when she was young, her grandpa went to Longji, Guangxi to participate in farm construction, and heard that there were terraces everywhere there.

Aoki shook his head and said: "Don't disturb other people's dreams, unless your mental power is strong enough to understand the rules of other people's dream space and have the ability to change it. Your grandpa's mental power is very strong, much stronger than you."

Only then did Hu Xing realize that Xia Wenyuan's dream space was much larger than her own.

"Then what are we doing now?" Hu Xing asked.

"Just watch." Aoki said, "No matter what happens in a while, you just need to remember that this is a dream, and you don't need to do anything. Do you understand?"

Hu Xing nodded obediently.

After the cows went to the field, Xia Wenyuan followed the cows, holding the plowshare and driving the cows forward in the field. The mud in the paddy field was turned up by the plow, making a splashing sound.

"Wenyuan, why did you come just now? If you can't complete the task of the team today, you will be scolded again when you go back!" said a young man in the field nearby.

Xia Wenyuan pushed the oxen and plowshares and said, "It's coming in time, it's coming in time."

"Wenyuan, are you suffering from back pain again? Let me tell you, go tell the party secretary and ask for leave." Another young man said.

"It's okay." Xia Wenyuan supported his waist and said.

The sun was getting hotter and hotter, Xia Wenyuan's clothes were soaked through, and sweat dripped from his head like heavy rain.

"Let's go eat!" someone shouted, and everyone put down their farm tools and went down the mountain along the terraced path.

Xia Wenyuan also put down the plow and led the cow back.

"What are you doing? You are not allowed to eat until you complete your task today!" A middle-aged man came over with a cigarette pole.

"It's okay for me not to eat, but the cows also need to rest!" Xia Wenyuan said.

"Then let the cows rest and you plow the fields by yourself!" The man knocked on the cigarette pole and said, "The cows are the cattle of the proletariat, and you are the descendant of the capitalists. The bourgeoisie still wants to eat? If not, who are you going to transform!" After saying that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.

Xia Wenyuan had no choice but to pull the cow to a shady area and tie it up, and walked into the field alone carrying the plow.

He laboriously plowed the mud in the field with the plow, and wiped the sweat from his head from time to time.

Hu Xing felt sad.

In her mind, terraced fields were a symbol of beauty, but she had never thought about how many people's sweat and suffering had been soaked in these layers of beautiful, painting-like land.

Xia Wenyuan was still working in the fields, and the others never came back. He was the only one in the empty mountains and fields. The sun gradually moved westward, dragging his shadow very long.

"Here we come." Aoki suddenly said.

Just when Hu Xing was about to ask what was going on, he saw the shadow behind Xia Wenyuan move.

The long shadow was shortening rapidly, sliding across the terraced fields. When it was shortened to only the height of a person, the shadow slowly stood up and stretched out both hands to pinch Xia Wenyuan's neck.

Xia Wenyuan seemed to be aware of it, turned around suddenly, and came face to face with the shadow. The shadow grabbed his neck, and he stretched out his hand to grab the shadow's neck. A man wrestles with his own shadow.

Hu Xing covered her mouth and almost screamed. If Aoki hadn't told her not to interfere with her grandfather's dream, she would have rushed over to see what was going on.

"What should we do?" she asked Aoki.

Aoki's brows furrowed, it seemed that the situation was more serious than he thought.

With a roar, the huge terraced mountain suddenly collapsed and turned into countless fragments, rolling towards them like huge waves rolled up by a tsunami. Hu Xing saw from the cracks in the fragments that her grandfather and the shadow were still entangled together, like two inseparable balls of dough.

Then, the scene changed, and Hu Xing found that they were already on the street of a city. Grandpa and the shadow were rolling on the road, cars were avoiding each other, and there was a sound of horns.

As they fought, Xia Wenyuan and the shadow rolled into the dark corner of the roadside. The shadow became dim and slowly disappeared. Xia Wenyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat there panting.

However, for some reason, a searchlight from a construction site not far away suddenly shone over. The shadow appeared again.

The light shone so hard that Xia Wenyuan couldn't open his eyes. His long shadow was reflected on the wall behind him, making him look particularly tall.

The shadow stood tall, like a giant. He raised his foot and stepped on Xia Wenyuan's head.

Xia Wenyuan stretched out his hand to block it, but he was already at the end of his strength, and the shadow was so tall that he couldn't block it at all, and was stepped into the ground by the shadow.

Hu Xing screamed, no longer caring about Qingmu's warning, and went to save her grandfather.

But her eyes were in a daze for a while, and the scene suddenly turned into a dark sewer again. Xia Wenyuan stood in the dirty water and looked around.

A nearby wall lamp suddenly lit up, casting his shadow onto the water. The shadow rippled in the water, then twisted and climbed up.

When Xia Wenyuan saw the shadow, he ran forward, and his shadow chased him. When you run to a place without lights, the shadow disappears, but after a while, a light lights up next to it and the shadow appears again.

Soon we reached the end of the sewer, where there was an exit blocked by an iron fence. There is no longer any need for wall lamp lighting. The natural light coming from the hole makes the shadow behind Xia Wenyuan very long.

The shadow was probably too long to stand up from the sewer, so it twisted and crawled along the cave wall bit by bit.

"Let's see how long you can hold on." Shadow said.

"I won't let you succeed." Xia Wenyuan said.

The shadow laughed loudly: "You can't get rid of me! Every time you change places, you will consume your energy, you will become weaker and weaker, and you won't last long. I am your shadow, and you can't get rid of your own shadow. , unless you lock yourself in darkness forever."
