catch the dream

After the general turned into a monkey, he bowed his back a bit, but he was already tall, even if he hunched a little, he was still half a head taller than Yu Hao. He said, "I've become the Monkey King."

The general shook the monkey's head violently a few times, and the water splashed, splashing Yu Hao's head.The general looked down at the tattered trousers and said, "It's really uncomfortable. Let's go to the mountain first. It's too dangerous here."

Yu Hao remembered his weapon, but the general said, "If you summon it, it will come back."

Yu Hao stretched out his hand, recalling the first time the magic staff appeared, and sure enough, the white light flashed, and it appeared again.The general reminded Yu Hao, "Don't use force, it will cause alarm."

Yu Hao said "En", and put the general's arm on his shoulder to support him, and walked slowly towards the mountain peak.In the darkness, there were rustling sounds all around, something was spying on them.Dots of green lights lit up behind the snowy slope, Yu Hao turned his head alertly, and all the green lights disappeared again.

"Snakes," said the general. "It's all snakes."

Yu Hao was full of doubts in his heart. This couldn't be his dream. Sea beasts like Cthulhu monsters and icy polar regions wouldn't appear in his dreams.The only inference is that the general was saving another person, and for some unknown reason, he summoned himself. Why was he summoned into someone else's dream?

They walked to the bottom of the rock, and there were jagged rocks, the snow on the windward side was scraped off, the general had recovered a lot, he first climbed up the rock, then stretched his hand down, and pulled Yu Hao up to a protruding rock.The two sat on the rock and looked into the distance.

The general put up an awning with his hands and looked around, as if he was looking for something.

"Where's the shield I gave you?" Yu Hao vaguely guessed that maybe it was because he gave a part of the "totem" in the conscious world to the general, and there was a strange connection between them, dragging him in together.

"Here." The general stretched out his hairy fingers and flicked the golden hoop on top of the warhead.

Yu Hao: "..."

With the long sword on his back, the general squatted in front of the dark rock, looking out against the north wind, with his tattered cloak hanging down behind him.

"What to do?" the general said to himself.

"Why?" Yu Hao said, "Are you Monkey King now?"

The general looked down at his own body, and then at Yu Hao, with very strange eyes, and said, "Isn't that obvious?"

Yu Hao asked again: "I gave you a shield, how could it become a circle on your head? Where's your Dinghaishenzhen?"

The general spread his hands helplessly and said, "How do I know?"

Yu Hao thought to himself: This is really weird.He looked at the general suspiciously, the general pondered for a moment, stretched out his finger, pointed to the tree, and said, "Look."

The black snakes spread and covered the snow under his feet. The general murmured, "This man's dream is darker than yours. It doesn't matter if it's dark. It's too cold to die. It's really troublesome..."

Yu Hao was shivering from the cold, thinking that it was already cold enough during the day, but at night he would still suffer from the cold in his dreams, why is it so miserable!

The general warned again: "Don't die. If you die, you won't be able to go back. Don't ask questions. I can't explain many things clearly. Anyway, after entering this dream, I became a big cat for no reason. monkey."

"Then... what about this?" Yu Hao tried to pull the gold circle on his head, the general said, "I can't take it off! I tried it! It hurts! Don't move!"

Yu Hao couldn't do anything else, he looked at the general for a while, and finally said: "Let me help you, I want to rescue the owner of this dream, right?"

They hugged and bid farewell under the sunshine shining on the sky and the earth. Afterwards, Yu Hao was always guessing where the general was going.Maybe to save more people like myself.

He gradually regarded him as a hero. He originally thought that he would never see him again in this life, but when he met again suddenly, his heart was filled with excitement and joy, and all doubts were instantly thrown away.

The general's monkey looked suspicious, looked left and right, and said, "Let's find the ego of the dream owner first, and I'll explain it to you later."

"Why do I still appear in my own image?" Yu Hao frowned.

"Because you were summoned by me, the image you appear here depends on my impression of you."

Yu Hao: "Then who does your image depend on? The master of the dream?"

Yu Hao didn't quite understand one thing. The general appeared in front of him for the first time in armor. It stands to reason that if he was "not a human", Yu Hao must have never seen him, and there is no inherent impression problem.Based on this, it is speculated that the general should also be shown in full body armor in this stranger's dream. Why did he become Monkey King again?

The general snapped his fingers, a round of flames burst out from between his long fingers, and he waved towards the ground. The snakes climbing up the rocks were afraid of the flames, and immediately dispersed.Immediately, the general jumped up onto another protruding rock, stretched his arms, climbed on the rock, and stretched out his hand towards Yu Hao.

Yu Hao tried to imitate the general's jump, but he couldn't jump onto the stone, slipped his foot, yelled, and almost fell into the snakes, but the general's arm tightly grabbed him in mid-air.

Yu Hao found that his speed, strength and reaction were much weaker.

"Normal." The general pulled him to another falling stone and said, "Your strength will be weakened, and it's pretty good to scare that monster away."

Yu Hao recalled that the last time the general entered his dream, he told him that when the original owner of the dream was exiled, the power of outsiders would also be weakened.

Yu Hao: "But you are still better than me."

"Of course." The general embraced Yu Hao with one hand, and stretched out his other hand to grab another protrusion next door.

Yu Hao: "..."

The general has to take care of Yu Hao, but also has to climb from one bare rock to another, which is very troublesome.After a while, he thought of a way, pulled Yu Hao's arm, let Yu Hao wrap his arms around his hairy neck, hang on his body, speed up and leap forward, constantly climbing up.

"But where does your strength come from?" Yu Hao asked.

"Knowledge of yourself, self-confidence and constant hints." The general looked up to identify the canopy and said, "What kind of person you believe you are, and you will slowly become that kind of person."

Yu Hao replied: "Impossible, then am I invincible?"

The general said: "The point is, do you really believe that you are invincible? Some people always claim to be strong inside, but a few words can make them fly into a rage."

Yu Hao: "Some people mistakenly think that they are invincible, but when they encounter a little setback, they will retreat and run away... I probably understand."

"Knowing yourself correctly and being frank and confident are your source of strength." The general replied.

The general held Yu Hao in one hand, and the monkey's arms were so long that they could almost be knotted, wrapping around his waist, and the thumbs were still casually and chicly buckled on the waist of Yu Hao's trousers.

"I can help you heal." Yu Hao hugged him, moved with the big monkey, and said, "I have this ability."

General: "Well, yes."

Yu Hao: "This ability means, do you think I have the ability to heal?"

The general didn't even look at Yu Hao, and said, "Didn't I tell you? Why are you so stupid? Don't you also believe that you can heal others?"

"Ah?" Yu Hao asked in surprise, "Is there? I haven't thought about it?"

The general stopped talking, and Yu Hao observed the profile of the general's monkey, but the monkey's expression was not obvious, only a red face and thick sideburn hair, and then the general turned his head, Yu Hao almost didn't pay attention, and the big monkey Kissing mouth to mouth, the two hurriedly stepped aside a little, Yu Hao's face felt hot, and he felt that his face must be as red as this monkey's butt at this moment...

General: "If you keep asking questions, I will throw you out of your dream."

Yu Hao hurriedly said, "Okay, don't ask any more."

When the general reached the cliff at the end of the dense forest, he took off his boots, tied them around his waist, and climbed up with Yu Hao's hands and feet on his back.

Yu Hao suddenly asked again: "General, you are actually human, am I right?"

The general stopped suddenly, and a gust of wind blew by.

"Go away! Good night!" said the general suddenly.

Yu Hao opened his eyes instantly, and woke up in the dormitory.

"I was wrong! General!" Yu Hao shouted remorsefully, but it was too late for him to regret, he was kicked out of a dream!

He turned over frizzily and continued to sleep, but couldn't fall asleep. He got up, drank some water, tossed and turned, and after a while, it was dawn.Yu Hao wailed for a moment, then sat up hugging the quilt, wishing he could slap both of himself.What am I talking so much about?Maybe this time I will never see him again!

It was dawn, and Yu Hao couldn't fall asleep after all, so he could only wash and tidy up with his messy hair, and went out to work to distribute leaflets.

The temperature dropped for three consecutive days, and today it was even colder. He was shivering in the bitter cold wind, trying to hide in a sheltered place to work, and looked enviously at the giant doll figure in a cartoon suit jumping around.

With so many wraps, it's so warm in winter... Yu Hao thought to himself, let's see what you do in summer.

It’s not that he’s not dedicated to his job, the lack of sleep already made him shiver from the cold, and the wind blowing made him unbearably cold. In the 6-degree winter, he only wore three pieces inside and out.Especially when the dark clouds blocked the sun, his whole body trembled, and he couldn't even speak.

There is a way!

Yu Hao came up with a plan. Every half hour, he would go into the shopping mall to warm up for 10 minutes. When it was almost warm, he would go out to dissipate heat. Back and forth, it was better than being blown by the cold wind all the time.

Fortunately, today is Christmas Eve, there are surprisingly many couples, and the leaflets are almost distributed before four o'clock in the afternoon.

I can't do it... Yu Hao thought to himself, I'm going to freeze to death... Go ahead and rest for a while?

"Yu Hao, are you fucking courting death?! Wearing so few leaflets?! You're not cold!" Zhou Sheng's voice suddenly yelled frantically.

Yu Hao was taken aback, there was a small stack left in his hand, he didn't know when Zhou Sheng came, wearing a down vest, smoking a cigarette, looking at him in disbelief.

Beside Zhou Sheng, stood a tall, thin and beautiful girl, wrapped in a black windbreaker, with exquisite facial features, eyebrows and eyes full of surprise, looking at Zhou Sheng uneasily.

"Put it on quickly! Are you crazy?" Zhou Sheng took off the down vest and stuffed it to Yu Hao without any explanation. Yu Hao blushed, and everyone around him was looking at him, which made him very embarrassed.

"The distribution will be over soon!" Yu Hao hurriedly pushed Zhou Sheng, looked at the girl again, couldn't help laughing, and asked him to go into the shopping mall.

"Put it on!" Zhou Sheng ordered, then pushed open the door of the shopping mall, and went in to turn on the heater. Yu Hao calmed down a little, and added a down vest to make it warmer. When Zhou Sheng yelled, the people standing outside Wanda suddenly They all came over and took the initiative to ask Yu Hao to take the flyer.

Yu Hao: "..."

"Thank you." Yu Hao was a little at a loss, so he could only say, "Thank you."

He didn't like this taste very much. In the past, he might have been uncomfortable for at least three days, just because this action hurt his self-esteem, and handing out leaflets turned into alms.

But now, his heart gradually warmed up, and he put his hands in his pockets.

There was a violent knocking sound from the floor-to-ceiling glass behind him. In the cafe sat a frizzy Zhou Sheng who was only wearing a sweater. The girl was still sitting beside him. Zhou Sheng's expression was full of "Don't get out after handing out the leaflets." Come in?" Angrily.

Ten minutes later, Yu Hao held a glass full of hot water and sat opposite Zhou Sheng and the girl beside him, he couldn't help guessing the girl's identity.

"Call me sister-in-law." Zhou Sheng said nonchalantly, while stretching out his hand to try the back of Yu Hao's hand, it was still cold.He pulled Yu Hao's red fingers away from the hot water cup, and held it in his own hand.

Zhou Sheng's hand was very hot, as if burning a ball of fire.

The girl just laughed, and Yu Hao said anxiously, "Hi, sister-in-law." Thinking this is Zhou Sheng's girlfriend?Girlfriend is so pretty?With such a beautiful girlfriend, you are still looking around on the subway to see the long-legged girl? !

"Hi baby eyelashes." The girl stretched out her hand, Yu Hao wanted to wipe her hands before shaking hands with her, but the girl covered her slender fingers to warm his hands together.Yu Hao's face turned red instantly, and he quickly retracted his hands.

"Baby eyelashes?" Yu Hao asked with a blank face, "What do you mean?"

The girl explained with a smile: "They said that your eyelashes are longer than girls' and your eyes are bigger. Sure enough!"

Yu Hao's face turned even redder: "Who said that?!"

Zhou Sheng said with a smile: "When you were doing self-criticism last week, the girls in our class said it."

Yu Hao was so embarrassed that he went crazy, the girl said: "Then I'll go first."

Zhou Sheng said, "I'll take you back."

The girl insisted: "You can accompany Yu Hao, go back and buy a cup of ginger soup for him to drink, I will call a car and go back, don't worry about me."

Yu Hao hurriedly said, "I'll be leaving soon too..."

After Zhou Sheng heard that, he sat down aggressively. The girl said goodbye to them and said, "See you next time."

"Hurry up and see her off!" Yu Hao hurriedly pushed Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng's face changed again. Yu Hao had just been beaten by the general last night, so he didn't dare to speak anymore, so he could only continue to hold the hot water cup, and looked back at the girl leaving the shopping mall, but he didn't even ask her name.

What a beauty!Yu Hao couldn't help admiring that Zhou Sheng's girlfriend was a school girl, but suddenly remembered that he forgot to ask her name.

"why……"

Zhou Sheng didn't seem to be in a good mood: "Is it okay not to ask long and short questions? Are you annoying?"

Yu Hao shut up knowingly, and reminded himself that he must keep his mouth shut in the future, so as not to be annoying.

Zhou Sheng looked out of the floor-to-ceiling windows, his mind was a little distracted, and after a while, he looked down at his phone. Yu Hao didn't sleep well last night, and was blown by the cold wind for another day. News on his phone.

The news at the end of the year was full of negative energy. Hundreds of thousands of migrant workers were homeless overnight after the fire; child abuse was monitored in the kindergarten; the husband hacked his wife to death and jumped off the building himself; He seemed even more irritable, and casually cursed the world.

Are there more good people or more bad people in this world?Yu Hao couldn't help but think of the people who gathered around him in the square an hour ago and took away the leaflets in his hand.The classic Christmas song "The Nativity of Christ" was played in the coffee shop. In this dark afternoon, all the lights of the two-story Christmas tree standing on the square were lit up in an instant.

"Why don't you wear my clothes?" Zhou Sheng said, "Isn't it hanging in your bedroom?"

"I have." Yu Hao replied, "I just didn't expect it to be so cold today."

Zhou Sheng turned off the phone: "Have you received the money?"

"I got it."

"Go back." Zhou Sheng took Yu Hao to the subway and led him back to school.After dinner, Zhou Sheng forced Yu Hao to drink a large cup of ginger soup before driving him back to the dormitory to sleep.

Yu Hao originally thought that he would definitely catch a cold after such a day, but after drinking the ginger soup, he started sweating, which made him feel much better. Zhou Sheng also lent him an electric blanket. In the quiet winter night, there were rustling sounds outside the dormitory, and it was snowing lightly. up.Yu Hao curled up under the quilt with peace of mind, the power regulator of the electric blanket emitted red light, illuminating a small area around him, like a little sun protecting him.

The big monkey squatted on the top of the mountain, yawned casually, showing its sharp teeth.

Yu Hao's foot slipped and almost fell again, a fluffy arm immediately wrapped around his waist.

"Calm down." The general said casually.

Yu Hao looked around, and found that he had been brought to the top of the mountain by the general. The strong wind made him tremble like a massage stick.The general opened his chest and let him huddle in his arms. From a distance, it looked like a big monkey squatting on the top of the mountain, with two heads, one human and one monkey.

Yu Hao warmed up a little, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, he thought about it in his heart, and looked at the general's face with his eyes.

"There's a village there," said the general dreamily.

Yu Hao looked around, and saw that he was in a vast fjord surrounded by mountains and the sea. There were settlements adjacent to the sea, and a highland towards the inland.Kind of like Howling Fjord from World of Warcraft.

He turned his head and looked in the opposite direction, only to see the inland direction behind him, and there were rolling mountains, and behind the mountains was darkness.This dream was almost pitch black, with very poor visibility.The only thing that can be distinguished is the medieval wooden buildings on the coastline.And at the end of the seaside village settlement, there is a tower-shaped building, hidden in the darkness.

"Go to the village and have a look." The general hugged Yu Hao, jumped down from the mountain, and walked along the mountain road.Yu Hao said: "I'll go by myself." Then he got off the general and followed behind him, stepping on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The snow was very deep, Yu Hao was struggling to walk, the world was in darkness, only the rustling sound of stepping on the snow, he looked at the back of the tall monkey walking in front from time to time, it was thin, protecting him from the wind.

"Why don't you talk?" The general turned his head, glanced at Yu Hao, and asked, "Are you angry?"

As soon as Yu Hao separated from the general, he couldn't resist the loss of heat from his whole body, and said, "I-I-I...I'm too cold."

The general picked him up and let him ride on his back, using both hands and feet, and trotted in the snow like a mount.

"It will be warm in the village." The general took the initiative to explain rarely, "This is a little girl's dream."

Yu Hao vaguely thought of something, but the thought just passed by in a flash.
