dream maker

The night is quiet and peaceful, and the moonlight is murmuring.

It has been more than three days since Lin Yan completely escaped from those so-called nightmarish dreams.

Now it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer. Most of the roads and sidewalks in Lanshi are planted with camphor trees. Green and yellow leaves.

A gust of spring breeze blew by, and small yellow-green floral flowers bloomed in response to the scene, spreading from the corners to the whole sidewalk and being contaminated with a faint fragrance, which seemed to relieve the heat that just emerged .

At that time, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Lin Yan carried two boxes of takeaway, stomped on a leaf, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and walked unhurriedly across the sidewalk.

Today is Monday, and there are a lot of students returning to school. It is only now that the two of them have time to finish their meals.

After returning to the dessert shop, Lin Yuan rubbed his sore shoulders, and was about to call Ye Yan over for dinner, when he saw a tall and thin boy in No. [-] Middle School uniform paying the bill.

The boy was wearing Adidas sportswear. Looking from the side, he had bags under his eyes and a tired face.

Lin Yan knew this high school student, his name was Luo Yiyu.

He is a student of No. [-] Middle School, and his family lives near No. [-] Middle School. The reason why he knows his name is because from the day when their store just opened, he must pass by to buy two breads every morning, so Over time, I gradually became familiar with it.

"Yiyu, aren't you a day student? Why do you come here at night to buy bread?"

Lin Yan patted Luo Yiyu on the shoulder, and handed the takeaway to Ye Yan who was standing in front of the cashier, and then took off his coat, revealing their store uniform.

The name of their store is Yilian Xichen, but the store clothes don't have the feeling of Xichen at all. They are designed in pink from the beginning to the end, and there are a few delicate strawberries embroidered on the front of the clothes, which more and more set off Lin Yu's white face. color.

"What to buy, do you have food, I'm starving to death."

Ye Yan quickly took the takeaway from Lin Yan's hand, opened it and smelled it, and then packed all the things Luo Yiyu bought, showing a satisfied smile: "It's 37 yuan in total, is it Alipay?"

"Alipay."

Luo Yiyu hurriedly responded, then took out the phone from his pocket, found the Alipay payment barcode and handed it to Ye Yan, "Here."

After all, he looked at Lin Yan again, rubbed his eyes with heavy dark circles, and sounded a little tired: "My mother has been in the hospital for the past two days, and I just came back from the hospital to get my schoolbag and prepare to go directly I took a taxi from the hospital back to school, just passed by here, and bought tomorrow's breakfast by the way."

"Auntie is sick? Is it serious?"

Lin Yu took Luo Yiyu's eyes, pushed open the partition of the cashier area and walked in, said a little worriedly: "Yiyu, I see that your eyelids are dragged several times, and your complexion is also a bit ugly, have you not rested for several days? ?”

Luo Yiyu forced a smile, probably because he rubbed his eyes just now, his eyelids seemed to be covered with a layer of wrinkles, as if he lacked sleep.

"It's not very clear now. My mother said that she often fainted. It was also when I came home at noon last time that I saw her sleeping on the sofa. She couldn't wake up. She was sent to the hospital and had her body checked. In the end, the doctor tentatively determined that it was a coma caused by high blood pressure." Luo Yiyu sighed: "It's also my fault, I didn't usually notice that my mother was not feeling well."

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, a bit of surprise floated in his heart, he paused for a while, and said hesitantly: "Temporarily confirmed as? Is it sent to the city's first hospital?"

"Yes, it's the No. [-] hospital in the city. I don't know the medical knowledge. The doctor said it might be caused by high blood pressure, so there should be nothing wrong with it." Luo Yiyu yawned, and looked at Lin Yuan strangely. Said: "What's the matter, Brother Lin Yan?"

Lin Yan shook his head: "It's nothing, I just think it's a bit strange. If the doctors in the first hospital in the city don't accurately diagnose the cause, they probably won't give such ambiguous diagnostic results."

Luo Yiyu frowned, rubbed his eyes again, and said, "That's right, we signed up for an expert account, even the experts didn't find out the cause of the disease, and even though they gave me a coma caused by high blood pressure, they still asked me to My mother stayed in the hospital for observation, and after several days, my mother is still the same, sleeping for at least twenty hours a day, and she is awake for a while every day."

Speaking of this, Luo Yiyu's eyes were red, and he probably endured it to the extreme, his voice was choked up: "Actually, I also think it's strange, my mother never had high blood pressure before, and eating is also considered a way to keep healthy. How could it be possible to suffer from high blood pressure all of a sudden? And... and I don't think my mother has any signs of high blood pressure other than a coma. There must be other problems. But my guess is useless, Now we can only trust the hospital."

Lin Yan opened his mouth and suddenly became dumb. He didn't know what to say for a while.

He suddenly felt a little strange, this kind of strangeness was inexplicable, and he was not a medical professional, so he should have no doubts about the doctor's diagnosis, but in that moment, he immediately thought of his dream.

Shen Jiangnan told him that day that if there is no dream maker to help, people trapped by the nightmare will get lost in the dream over time, and the sleep time will be longer and longer day by day. In the end, they will even wake up completely. not come.

Until it was completely devoured by the Nightmare and reduced to a vegetative state, it was finally called a puppet controlled by the Nightmare.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's heart trembled suddenly, and a terrifying thought came from his heart.

Luo Yiyu just said that his mother sleeps for at least twenty hours a day. According to normal people, unless she is tired for a few days and nights, how could she not wake up after sleeping for twenty hours?And is it still like this every day?

Now even the hospital has not found anything, so is there such a possibility, since he will be haunted by the nightmare spirit, will Luo Yiyu's mother also be haunted by the nightmare spirit?

If this is really the case, then the situation of Luo Yiyu's mother is much more serious than his situation at that time, and she has slept for nearly twenty hours now, if it takes a while...

"Yiyu, you..." Lin Yuan's words had just reached his throat, and when he raised his head again, Luo Yiyu was no longer in the store, so he had to swallow the words back into his stomach again.

Ye Yan was eating takeaway, glanced at Lin Yan, paused with the hand holding the chopsticks, and asked, "I just left, what's wrong with you, how can you be in a daze while standing?"

After hearing Ye Yan's words, Lin Yu kept his face calm, but his heart was raised. He leaned closer to Ye Yan and expressed his doubts: "Ye Yan, do you think the mother in this corner will Trapped by Nightmare like me?"

Ye Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and after seeing his expression, he felt a little trembling in his heart, swallowed a mouthful of food reluctantly, and said haha: "Don't talk about it, what happened to you is really serious. It’s too mysterious, as mysterious as a fairy tale, and the possibility of ordinary people encountering it is too low. Let me tell you, even if you haven’t come out of that dream, you are still so easy to think about it all day long.”

Lin Yan pursed his lips, smelling the aroma of Yeyan's food, his stomach growled and began to protest, and then he came back to his senses, opened his takeaway, and said: "Is it really me?" Overthinking?"

"Maybe."

Ye Yan answered without thinking, and before Lin Yu could ask anything, he said again: "Don't eat radish and worry about it, the hospital said it might be a coma caused by high blood pressure."

"but……"

"It's nothing good, but you think everyone's luck is the same as yours?"

Ye Yan snorted lightly, "Is it because your Yizhi Jiangnan brother has been ignoring you, so everything you think about now has something to do with those dreamers?"

"..." Lin Yan choked on Ye Yan abruptly. Although he was a little uncomfortable, he still corrected him a little seriously: "Fart, I just can't contact him, it's not that he doesn't want to talk to me!"

Ye Yan sneered, then casually took out a piece of paper to wipe his mouth, threw the takeaway box into the trash can, and said, "Come on, what's the difference between the two? If someone wants to talk to you, can I not give it to you?" Leave your contact information?"

Because the murder failed before, in order to save the last bit of dignity, Lin Yu told Ye Yan everything that happened in the dream, so even if he didn't experience it personally, Ye Yan knew about it clearly .

"Little raving, my brother told you that 1 yuan is not a small amount. You owe someone 1 yuan, and they haven't left you a contact information. Most likely they don't want to talk to you." After finishing speaking, Ye Yan raised his head. The gold-rimmed glasses, as if wanting to prove his wisdom, gave Lin Yan another final blow: "So, you will take back your newly sprouted spring heart as soon as possible, you are a brother, don't I always think about a branch of red apricot coming out of the wall all day long."

Lin Yan rolled Ye Yan's eyes and raised his eyebrows: "Hey, didn't you dislike me before?"

Ye Yan snorted, walked into the inner room to change clothes unhurriedly, and said without shame: "I really dislike it, but you are a coolie in the store after all, if you run away with others, what should I do alone?"

Lin Yu's good temper was finally exhausted, and he roared in a low voice: "Go away, you bastard, believe it or not, I'll be up and down with a knife?"

Ye Yan's voice came from the room, without the slightest awareness of being threatened: "It's been a long time since I posted on Weibo, so I'll go back and post a video tonight, what do you think?"

Lin Yan: "..."

Damn, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
