catch the dream

"Let go of me!" Yu Hao shouted, the man in iron armor firmly grabbed him, dragged him back to the city wall, and threw him to the ground.

Yu Hao fell to the ground, sat up in embarrassment, leaned his back against the brick wall of the city wall, and stared at the person in front of him.

The man in iron armor walked towards him, making a slight sound of metal rubbing against each other. This man was tall and wore a silver helmet, like a medieval knight, with a long sword on his waist.

The knight came five steps away from him and stopped.

"You...you..." Yu Hao couldn't believe it, "Who are you? Where is this?"

The knight turned his head and looked at the other end of the Great Wall. Yu Hao leaned his back against the brick wall, slowly got up, and looked in the direction he turned his head.

I saw the Great Wall was dark, the autumn wind was blowing, the fallen leaves were falling, and thousands of miles of wilderness.

Outside the Great Wall, there is a darkness where you can't see your fingers.

"Yo, it's a bit serious." The Iron Armored Knight said, "No wonder, it was just a little bit close. It seems that I came in time?"

Yu Hao frowned deeply, and under the dim light of the sky, he looked at the iron armored knight.

"I am the guardian of your dreams." The Iron Armored Knight stretched out his right hand covered with a metal glove, and said, "Call me 'General', first time meeting, please take care of me."

Yu Hao: "..."

Yu Hao stretched out his hand and was about to shake his hand, but the next moment, the knight withdrew his hand suddenly and shouted: "Be careful!"

Before Yu Hao recovered his senses, he turned his head and glanced, and there was a deafening roar, and a huge, pitch-black monster roared and rushed up from under the city wall!The monster had four legs, nearly three meters high, and was covered in scales. As soon as it rushed up, the "general" pulled Yu Hao behind him with his left hand, and quickly pulled out the sword around his waist with his right hand, and rushed towards him like lightning. Skip ahead!

The monster let out a roar, spurting out black blood, and then the general turned around quickly, clenched his fist with his left hand, the fist was covered with a heavy iron glove, and slammed his fist on the monster's head with a muffled sound, deforming its head , Falling straight out of the Great Wall!

Yu Hao couldn't help panting, but at this moment, the darkness from outside the Great Wall was like flowing mercury, continuously spreading towards the wall and climbing up.Wolves howled one after another, and rotting black wolves climbed up the city wall one after another.The general turned his back on Yu Hao and faced the pack of rotten wolves. He kept waving the long sword in his hand and shouted: "Too many!"

Yu Hao panicked, "What is this? What should I do?"

The general said: "I'll cover you! Get out of here first!"

Yu Hao turned his head and looked inside the city wall. If he jumped from a height of ten meters like this, he would probably break his leg.The general shouted: "It's no use fleeing into the Great Wall! They will come after them sooner or later! Run along the wall!"

The general swept away the rotting wolf with a sword, and shouted: "You go first!"

Yu Hao retreated a few steps, and the general chased after him. Yu Hao felt a little relieved. There were more and more wolves, and they kept climbing up the city wall. He ran along the Great Wall. The general behind him was getting faster and faster, and his armor made a sound. After a while, he caught up with him, dragged him, and ran away towards the city wall.

There are many corner houses in the middle of the endless Great Wall. The general shouted: "Run into the house!"

The rotten wolves rushed up one after the other. Yu Hao first slammed open the door and entered a corner room. The general immediately turned around and knocked the rotten wolf who had rushed in front of him sideways. , With a bang, the world went dark.

The general couldn't resist the shaking door and shouted: "Find the latch!"

Yu Hao groped around, tripped on the ground, found the door latch, and hugged one against the door, there was a rumbling sound, the door was solid, and it didn't move at all, and it was quiet outside.

Yu Hao panted in the darkness, and said, "What the hell...is this place?"

"Looking for kindling," the general replied in the dark.

Yu Hao said, "Where?"

"I don't know, but there will definitely be." The general said again.

"What do you mean?" Yu Hao was in a daze. He was obviously... burning charcoal, but he came here for some unknown reason. He was chased by a group of inexplicable wolves, and a knight in iron armor appeared.

"As long as you believe that there is fire, it will appear." The general explained, "The soldiers guarding the Great Wall will leave fire behind, right? Otherwise, how would they light the beacon?"

After thinking about it, Yu Hao turned around and groped along the wall, and found a shelf. After groping along the shelf for a long time, he found a small thing.

"It's a lighter." Yu Hao said.

"There should be lights," the general said again.

Yu Hao pressed the windproof lighter, and it spewed out flames with a "buzz", illuminating a small area. There was indeed a lamp under the shelf, the general carried it, Yu Hao lit it, and the corner room suddenly lit up.

It was empty all around.

Yu Hao looked at the armor by the light, and suddenly became a little curious about the man inside.

"What exactly is this place?!" Yu Hao asked for the third time, "Tell me!"

The general remained motionless, facing the lamp, as if in a trance.

"Life is short." The general said indifferently, "Since you have given up the idea of ​​living, why are you still fleeing in front of the wolves?"

Yu Hao sighed, and replied: "If there is hope of living, why bother to die?" As he spoke, he sat on the ground with his back against the wall of the corner room, a little annoyed.

"What makes you want to live?" The general sat down beside Yu Hao, and put one hand on his shoulder. The armor was very cold, but Yu Hao felt the urge to cry.

"I don't know." Yu Hao murmured.

"This is your dream." The general said, "The dark world outside the Great Wall is your subconscious mind. Once you jump down, your life will be over, and your last thought of survival will be extinguished. hope, will sink into the subconscious."

Yu Hao: "..."

"Do you want to live?" said the general, "you decide for yourself."

"I remember... I didn't have this dream, no, I did!" Yu Hao murmured, but he remembered it instantly.For a long time after his grandma passed away, he repeatedly dreamed several times that he was standing on a high wall, hesitating whether to jump down or not.

Inside the wall was a wilderness, and outside the wall was an abyss. He wandered around the city wall for many years.

"Everything here is subject to your hints to yourself." The general said casually, "Put the latch on, which means that you think the room is completely safe, so, listen? It's quiet outside."

After a long silence, the general's voice sounded again.

"Don't blame me for being nosy, you don't really want to die."

"why?"

"Because you're still here," the general said, and then patted Yu Hao on the shoulder, standing up like a reliable big brother, "you didn't jump off the city wall."

"You're right." Yu Hao sighed, but at this moment his eyes became brighter, "I'm still hesitating, but I don't know why."

"This sentence is enough. Since you haven't made up your mind yet, let's try." The general looked at the ceiling of the corner room by the light.

"Try what?" Yu Hao frowned.

The general murmured: "Let the sun rise, otherwise, even if you just return to reality, next time, you will still... anyway... um... look at the top."

Holding the lamp, Yu Hao looked up and saw that there was a closed skylight on the ceiling of the corner room. The general said, "Come on, I'll take you up first. There should be a ladder up there, you put the ladder down."

Yu Hao said strangely: "Isn't it my dream? How come you know better than me?"

"This is common sense..." the general said, stepping forward slightly, crossing his palms together, motioning for Yu Hao to come over, and Yu Hao stepped on his palm.

"...and by the way, a psychological...hint for you..." The general lifted him above his head, Yu Hao opened the skylight, put the lamp outside, and climbed up.

The place where Yu Hao stood was the high part of the corner building of the Great Wall, a platform extending from it, on which stood a huge siege crossbow, and there was actually a ladder beside it.He looked out of the platform, and at that moment, he saw more and more rotten wolves, turning over the Great Wall, and drowning towards the huge wall like crucian carp crossing a river.

The Kuroshio roared like rapidly growing vegetation, spreading continuously on the Great Wall.

"There are more and more!" Yu Hao shouted down.

The general replied from below: "Let me go up first! Is there a ladder!"

Yu Hao put down the ladder, the general quickly climbed up to the platform, took a look, and said, "Too bad, it's faster than I thought."

"What should I do?" Yu Hao asked.

The general looked into the distance, and there was a towering pedestal nearly half a kilometer away.

"The target is the beacon. Light it up," said the general. "Someone will come to your rescue."

"Who?" Yu Hao asked.

"You have to ask yourself that," said the general, "rush over the Great Wall."

The road to the city wall leading to Fengsui has been covered by rotten wolves, but they didn't seem to notice Yu Hao and the man in iron armor, but went over the Great Wall one after another, heading towards the pass, as if in the distant sky inside the Great Wall, There are delicious foods that attract them.

"Get ready," the general said, "I'll jump first, you follow me, don't be afraid."

"Wait." Yu Hao collected his thoughts and asked suddenly, "This is my dream, isn't it?"

The general said "Huh?", then turned his head to look at Yu Hao from his helmet.Yu Hao asked again: "If I want a lighter, I have a lighter, and if I want a ladder, I have a ladder, so... can I make you stronger?"

Without even thinking about it, the general replied, "Impossible."

"Why?" Yu Hao frowned.

The general said: "Time is running out, are you sure you want to listen?"

Yu Hao hesitated for a moment, then the general said: "You just need to remember that our abilities are limited now, the you standing here is not the real you, but just a part of the self-awareness of the whole 'you'."

Yu Hao: "What... what? What about you? Why are you a guardian?"

The general drew his sword and murmured: "I am not part of this dream, you can treat me as an outsider... Get ready, jump!"

"Wait!" Before Yu Hao could hear it clearly, the general had already swung his sword and jumped towards the corridor of the city wall!

Yu Hao had no choice but to give up his mind, quickly catch up with the general, and jumped down the nearly three-meter-high corridor of the city wall. The wolves climbing up the city wall instantly spotted them and rushed towards the general.

"Give me a weapon!" Yu Hao shouted.

The general threw the sword to him, Yu Hao took it, the general opened the way ahead with his bare hands, Yu Hao shouted: "Then what about you?!"

The general grabbed a rotten wolf and punched it on the head. His iron fist seemed to be powerful, and his heavy armor carried a force of nearly two hundred catties, and he went on a rampage.With a lantern in his hand and a sword in the other, Yu Hao swept away. The sword was razor-sharp and cut the rotting wolf in half as soon as it touched it.

Roaring and shouting rang through his ears, Yu Hao only subconsciously ran wildly with the general in the melee, the two of them cleared a path and rushed towards the beacon tower of the Great Wall.Yu Hao nearly fell down a few times, but the general's strong hand grabbed his wrist firmly, and shouted: "Hold the lamp!"

Immediately afterwards, Yu Hao felt his body lighten, and he was hugged by the waist. The general ran a few steps, and then jumped, knocking the wolves away. Fifty steps, thirty steps... Like an arrow leaving the string, he rushed towards the wolf pack. Beacon!

Yu Hao saw the steps coming down from Fengsui, and shouted: "Here we are!"

"Go up!" The general took the sword and turned around to block in front of the steps. Hundreds of rotten wolves were startled and rushed towards them, intending to jump over the steps and drag Yu Hao down the Great Wall.The general kept killing the rotten wolves with his sword. Wherever the blade touched, the rotten wolves were torn apart like paper, turning into black air and scattered in all directions.

Yu Hao stumbled and climbed up to the beacon tower with the lamp in hand. The general retreated step by step and got up to the high platform. There were more and more wolves, forming a siege from all directions.

"quick!"

Yu Hao couldn't stop panting, will there really be reinforcements?

Inside and outside the Great Wall, the world is dark and the wind is strong. This is a hopeless dream.

He threw the lantern onto the beacon pile, and at the same time, the general could no longer resist the wolves and was overturned to the ground. The moment the beacon was lit, the flames rose into the sky, leaping three feet!

"General!" Yu Hao rushed towards the man in iron armor who was held down by the pack of wolves, and immediately behind him, a miracle seemed to happen.A raging pillar of fire suddenly rushed up in the strong wind, shooting straight into the sky!The wolves seemed to be very afraid of the fire, and the moment the beacon lighted up, they scattered in all directions.

The next moment, the beacon towers on the winding Great Wall seemed to be sensed, one after another ignited, and the pillars of fire radiated radiant light, like a lighthouse shining from the ground to the sky in the dark night, and like a divine punishment falling from the sky in the last days!

"The defense mechanism has been activated." The general struggled to his feet, adjusted his shoulder armor, and sheathed his long sword.

Yu Hao stared at this scene in a daze. The beacons were activated from the ground where they stood, one after another, and ignited in two directions, east and west. The vast darkness!

"There are no reinforcements." Yu Hao gasped, "What's next? What should we do?"

The general raised his hand to his ear and made a "listen" gesture, signaling him to listen carefully.Yu Hao suddenly turned his head, looking at the boundless wasteland within the Great Wall.

On that wasteland, thousands of troops and horses are rolling in!

Yu Hao: "..."

"Success! The line of defense has been established! It's safe!" the general said in a deep voice.

Nearly [-] cavalry rushed towards the Great Wall like a tide. Yu Hao quickly ran to the other side and said, "Where did they come from? I..."

The general came behind Yu Hao and looked towards the wilderness. There were boundless soldiers mobilizing horses and horses, sweeping across the wilderness like red clouds, colliding with the pack of wolves that crossed the Great Wall, and the pack of wolves collapsed immediately!Yu Hao caught a glimpse of the appearance of the reinforcements through the strong light of the beacon, all of them were wearing leather armor, and on their chests were the Chinese characters "兵" written in official script, and after that there were countless battle flags flying like clouds of fire, writing "" Soldiers", another artillery cart came, lined up, adjusted the angle, and launched a bombardment towards the outside of the Great Wall!

The general said: "This is your guardians in memory, go back and find them?"

The thunder rang, and the shells carried billowing flames and flew across the city in an arc, smashing the rotting wolves outside the Great Wall, Yu Hao turned his head and looked to the other side.

"Great—"

The strong light from the beacon shot straight into the sky, Yu Hao suddenly had trouble breathing, his whole body became weak, and he knelt down.

"Yu Hao!" The general came over immediately, knelt down on one knee, and caught him.

"I..." Yu Hao collected himself, only to feel that the world was spinning, and the whole world was shaking non-stop.

"You're going to wake up." The general whispered in his ear.

Yu Hao raised his head in a daze, looked at the helmet, and the general said again: "Go back, live a good life, when you want to give up everything..."

"...don't forget that there is me..."

"Yu Hao!" An anxious voice whispered in his ear.

Yu Hao felt that he was jolting violently, as if someone was running with his back on his back, the sound of panting, the smell of sweat, and the chilly wind pouring straight into his neck.

His consciousness is coming back little by little, and the strange voice keeps talking.

"Look in his pocket to see if the campus is stuck on him."

"I'll help him register..."

A pain in the back of the hand.

"Too thin, so thin." A female voice said, "Give oxygen and drip, and observe for 24 hours to see if there is any edema. Huh? Woke up."

Yu Hao opened his eyes tiredly and weakly, and the white walls and blue cloth screens of the hospital came into view. The nurse was adjusting his IV bottle, and then put the oxygen mask on him. He turned around and went out to call someone. came in.

"Yu Hao, you...what's the matter with you?" The counselor's life was frightened, "There's no need to do this, right?"

Yu Hao's mind was still a little unclear, he opened his mouth, but couldn't speak, and looked at him quietly.

The counselor's name was Xue Long, and he sighed.

"Don't you want to fight for your deceased grandma?" Xue Long said, "Is there any hurdle in life that you can't overcome?"

Yu Hao opened his mouth again, and this time he made a sound.

"Teacher Xue."

"Hey." Xue Long said helplessly.

Xue Long was still thinking about whether there was still room for persuasion, but now it seems that if he keeps it, he might cause more trouble for himself. This student is simply a hot potato, and he feels pitiful when he looks at it.But persuading him and enlightening him are not contradictory to each other.

Whether a student commits suicide or homicide during the school period is inseparable from the college and the counselors.But once you drop out, the school has little responsibility.

"I chose a place outside the school." Yu Hao said calmly, "This way I won't cause trouble for you."

"It's not a question of whether to cause trouble or not." Xue Long said, "I'm still fighting for you in the internal meeting of the college today. When you turn around, you will be like this. You... Sigh! Ask yourself, are you worthy of the teacher?"

"I'm sorry." Yu Hao replied.

Xue Long glanced at his watch, thought about it, there was a Manchester United game tonight, he had to go home quickly, and said to Yu Hao, "You should have a good rest first, your new homeroom teacher will come to talk to you tomorrow, rest well Come find me again."

Yu Hao said "En", and suddenly felt that he had gone through that dream, and it seemed that something had changed.

"Thank you."

When Xue Long was about to leave, Yu Hao said something again.

Xue Long didn't say any more, for fear of irritating him, student work is a high-risk industry, if something goes wrong, the counselor must be responsible in the end.He feels that homosexuals are psychologically fragile. There was a case in a certain university last year. Two homosexuals fell in love and caused a world-shattering quarrel. One of them committed suicide after being diagnosed with AIDS, while the other died in love without knowing it.The parents went on and on, and they went to the school to pay 70 yuan, and the counselor was fired.

Sometimes Xue Long felt that he should worship "Yang Yongxin God" at home. Some students could only be cured by electric shocks. Like Yu Hao, he didn't feel sympathetic after being shocked ten or eight times.
