Dong vaguely knew in his heart that he must be dreaming.
People sometimes like this, when they are in a dream, they will suddenly wake up and know that it is a dream. If it's a good dream, one might want to linger a little longer, but if it's a bad dream, it's natural to wake up as soon as possible.
But for better or for worse, people often wake up very quickly, and then very quickly, perhaps in a few breaths, forget most of what happened in the dream until they are just a little dazed.
But Xiaodong is a little different from others on this point.
After he vaguely realized that he was in a dream, he would not wake up immediately. On the contrary, he will stay in the dream for a long time. And after waking up, he would still remember the whole experience of the dream.
Sometimes the dreams are interesting, but most of the time they are chaotic, long and unpleasant.
this dream...
Xiaodong recognized that this should be on Huiliu Mountain.
He was standing at the training platform, watching his brothers and sisters getting up to practice martial arts in the morning.
Just like all the people in the dream, he doesn't have a real real identity, and he doesn't have any weight. Everything in the dream is not an obstacle to him, and he can even jump up and down flexibly and freely, whatever his thoughts can. place of arrival.
For example, he is now sitting on the shoulder of the senior brother. If he has a body that can be seen by others, then his current posture is probably sitting on the shoulder of the senior brother.
Being so close, he was almost on the face of the elder brother. But the elder brother was really nice, and he didn't find any pores, beard stubble, or anything like that.
Tsk tsk, senior brother is really good-looking, and I don't know what kind of sister-in-law he will find for them in the future.
But there may not be a sister-in-law. The master is a Taoist priest, and he has never been married in his life. If the eldest brother takes over the position of the master in the future, there is a 80% chance that they will not get married.
Do you want to get married? Xiaodong's thoughts are more scattered and flexible than when he was awake.
If he gets married and has children, my uncle will be very happy.
Hey, why do you think so far away, he is still young, he is the youngest one on Huiliu Mountain, even if he wants to think about life-long events, he has to be ranked behind the senior brothers and sisters in front.
Xiaodong himself didn't realize that when he thought this way, he already regarded himself as a member of Huiliu Mountain, not a helpless orphan.
I don't know if there is a master in the dream
Probably not.
Xiaodong went to see Senior Brother Jiang practice martial arts again. Senior Brother Jiang usually looks a bit lazy, but he is actually very serious when he is practicing. His eyes are focused and his movements are solid. It can be seen that every move is serious and serious, rather than following the gourd. The label is perfunctory.
And Senior Brother Chen.
Xiaodong hadn't noticed before that Senior Brother Chen's eyes were a bit scary when he was practicing.
His eyes were a little empty, as if he was distracted.
No, no, when he looked closely, he wasn't distracted, he seemed to be staring at an imaginary enemy, that person was not in front of his eyes, but Senior Brother Chen's demeanor seemed to have engraved him in his mind , Every move is delivered with a murderous look, and the ruthlessness and persistence are shocking.
Looking at such a senior brother, Xiaodong was not as curious as before, but rather inexplicably afraid.
Brother Chen's desperate attitude made him faintly afraid.
He didn't stay by Senior Brother Chen's side for long, and went back to Senior Senior Brother to stay in front of Senior Senior Brother, carefully trying to figure out Senior Senior Brother's every move, and the breathing frequency that matched the movements.
Usually, it is rare to see the senior brother perform such a complete demonstration and rehearsal, and... it is not as clear as in the dream. It seems that in the dream, his observation ability has been improved several times, and every detail can be clearly seen. Obviously, I can learn more from it.
After the senior brother finished practicing the sword, he walked back while talking with his senior sister. Senior Jiang followed behind, and was wiping his sweat with a towel while walking. He took two steps to catch up with the two in front, and asked Mo Chen what : "Eldest brother, the younger brother is still sick, do you want someone to cook him something that is easy to digest and more nourishing?"
"Yes, yes, you must eat something good." Senior Sister Linglong also chimed in: "I have bird's nest there, I heard that eating this is good for your health, right?"
She didn't remember who gave the bird's nest, and she couldn't remember to eat it, so she stuffed it in the cabinet and ignored it.
The senior brother said: "You can keep the bird's nest and eat it yourself. I brought Qiushuang cream from outside this time. It is made from freshly picked herbs. Eating that is suitable for the symptoms of my younger brother. Turn around and eat it." I sent it to him, anyway, the sweet taste is good, it can be eaten as a snack."
Brother Jiang laughed at him while nodding: "Brother, you bought this for yourself, right? I remember that you used to get angry and cough easily in the winter, so you liked to eat something sweet and smooth. This time, for the sake of Junior Brother, you also It’s a pain in the ass.”
Autumn cream
Xiaodong remembered what his senior brother gave him when he was recovering from his illness a few days ago. At that time, he didn't ask anything, just thought it was medicine, so he took it and ate it. That taste is really good, it has a herbal aroma, sweet and cool and smooth, and it feels comfortable to the throat and stomach after eating it.
Is it the Qiushuang ointment that the brothers and the others mentioned
But... can everything in the dream be taken seriously? He had never heard of the name Qiu Shuang Gao before, but would he suddenly dream of it in his dream
Well, after waking up, he can ask his senior brother, maybe the name of the medicine in the dream is something he imagined, and the thing that senior brother gave him is actually not called Qiushuang cream.
The dream changed again, this time in the courtyard where the master lived.
Xiaodong hadn't been to this courtyard a few times, and he had never been to these houses behind. Now, following in the footsteps of the senior brother, they stepped in together.
This is a place that has never been in, but everything is so clear and real in the dream. The room is full of books, all kinds of volumes, filling the shelves after row after row. The bookshelf is not usually made of wood, it looks like a stone bookshelf. The elder brother didn't stop, he walked to the back of the room against the wall, stretched out his hand and twisted a carved piece protruding from the edge of the bookshelf twice, the bookshelf was actually separated from the middle, revealing a narrow gap where only one person could enter. The senior brother turned sideways and walked in through the gap.
Xiaodong opened his eyes wide in surprise—if he could open his eyes in a dream.
But the shock did not hinder his movement, Xiaodong hurriedly followed, as if he was afraid that he would be shut out if he was too late.
It was quite dark inside, so the brother took out a piece of fluorite to light it up. Xiaodong's uncle also had such fluorite before, and he knew about it. Some people also call this stone essence, which is not too expensive, but it is not something that can be bought casually on the street.
Walking through a narrow passage, the house was built against the mountain, which means that the passage should have been dug out in the mountain.
Eldest brother entered a stone room, which seemed to be a place to store things, and there were also shelves and cabinets inside. The eldest brother took out a small box from his sleeve and put it on the shelf, and then checked the other things on the shelf, it seemed that he was checking if there were any shortages or omissions. After doing all this, he came out the same way again and restored the secret door to its original state.
It turned out to be a place to store things, and Xiaodong felt that she had been excited for a long time in vain.
There are many places to store things like this. Even ordinary farmers will dig a vegetable cellar to store vegetables and food. You can’t put all the things in the house on the bright side. There are always some precious things that are afraid of being lost. You have to hide them. . Even his and his uncle's original home had a small hole in the ground for storing things.
But this dream is really detailed, and I don't know if there is such a secret room on Huiliu Mountain in reality.
If you get a chance to check it out, maybe it's true.
The next day, without exception, they all got up late. I went to bed late and drank again. When I woke up, it was already bright, and the sun was already high, and they slept through the morning exercise today.
Jiang Fan scratched his hair and smacked his lips twice: "Drinking is really a mistake. But the master's wine is really good. If you drink too much, your head doesn't hurt, and your mouth doesn't feel dry. How are you, brother?"
Mo Chen also had a slightly confused look on his face.
Overslept
This is the first time for him.
He has been extremely self-disciplined since he was a child, and he has never slacked off even a day after he started practicing martial arts. Whether it is windy or rainy, even when I am sick, I have never been so sleepy.
Sure enough, Junior Brother Jiang was right, drinking was indeed a mistake.
However, looking at the two juniors who hadn't woken up beside him, one was wrapped in a quilt and curled up like a worm, and the other stretched out his limbs like dried meat, he suddenly felt that such an occasional delay doesn't seem to be a bad feeling .
"Don't call them, let them sleep a little longer."
Anyway, such a time is rare once a year.
As soon as he spoke, Xiaodong also woke up.
His eyes blinked, and he didn't understand where he was sleeping for a while. After seeing the brothers around him, he slowly woke up, and remembered everything about last night.
At last he remembered that he took a sip of wine, which was very good. Even after drinking, he doesn't remember anything.
Looks like he was drunk
"Are you awake?" The elder brother asked him with a smile as he was tying up his belt.
It was the first time for Xiaodong to see a senior like this, his clothes were disheveled and his expression was more casual.
"Brother?"
"It was too late yesterday, so I didn't send you back. You slept with Junior Brother Jiang. Are you going to wash up here, or go back to your own room?"
"Uh, right here."
Just now when he suddenly opened his eyes and saw his senior brother, and he was so close, Xiaodong almost thought that he was still in the dream.
Blink again to make sure that this is not a dream, but really woke up.
His hair was rolled into a mess, and his head looked like a bird's nest, and his sleepy eyes looked very childish and cute.
Mo Chen really couldn't hold back, and stretched out his hand to rub his head.
Well, the hand feel is as good as imagined.
Xiaodong hadn't fully woken up yet, and didn't know how to resist being rubbed, and stared at him with a pair of round and big eyes, just like a newborn cat who is ignorant of the world. (to be continued)
