Chapter 22: Midsummer Night's Dream

Views:

Hao Ren got up from the ground with hands and feet together, then murmured to himself while pinching his thigh: "Damn, can I still be a happy earthling..." He was 100% sure that he was enjoying the shade in front of his house before , surrounded by old streets and alleys that he has been familiar with for more than 20 years. The dilapidated houses that are common on Baishi Road in the southern suburbs and the potholed concrete road under his feet are vivid in his mind, but he just squinted for a moment, and the surroundings have completely changed.

Hao Ren found himself standing on a vast and boundless prairie!

As far as the eye can see, there is no end in sight, only the green weeds covering the calf are spreading endlessly, and the night wind, which is more refreshing than in the city, blows, and the grassland under the feet is rolling like waves. Hao Ren looked up at the sky. It was a clean and clear night sky full of stars that he had never seen before in the city. The stars were so dense and bright that he could clearly see the scene on the grassland under the night.

And at the far end of the horizon, two rounds of silver light, one large and one small, are slowly rising into the sky, and a ring of bright light like a halo can be seen on the edge of the larger silver moon—two moons!

"I knew I shouldn't read too many novels!" Hao Ren watched the two moons slowly rising into the sky, and the night was filled with stars he didn't know, and finally he couldn't help but jump up, "What the hell is that?" Time-traveled?" Hao Ren had pinched his thigh more than once, and now he was almost unable to walk in pain, so he felt that he was not dreaming. What's going on with all this? If you sit in the shade on the curb, you will be thrown into another world? My dear mother, I still have two monster mothers waiting to be fed!

Hao Ren ran through countless thoughts in a mess like a revolving lantern. He thought of more than a dozen classic cases of crossing other worlds, and thought about the two troubles at home and his status as an employee of the Space-Time Administration that he had just acquired, but in the end countless thoughts Still turned into a long sigh, he realized that he couldn't wait here, because he heard the wolf howling just now...

Hao Ren said goodbye to his reclining chair for the last time, and then walked towards the direction of the two bright moons in the sky: in that direction, he vaguely saw the silhouette of a building, at least it was a goal. Of course, he also knows that it is not wise to walk around in such an unfamiliar environment. It will either consume energy or run into greater danger, but the key is that he feels that he has "traversed"! The process of coming here is not normal. It is impossible to wait in place until someone comes to save him. It is better to look at the surrounding situation.

"It's not reliable to travel through the landing point. How can you live if you throw it on such a large grassland without seeing a single tree?" The grassland was freezing cold at night, and Hao Ren could only walk with his arms crossed while muttering, "Is it hard?" If it doesn't work, you will still have to eat grass? If you encounter poisonous weeds, you will die. If there is a forest, it would be great. First, you can build a workbench with a tree, and maybe you can survive..." Clearly, Hao Ren is not a qualified time traveler: Just ten minutes after he came to the strange environment, his mind started to run into the carriage, which did not fit the setting of the traveler becoming calm, wise, resolute and resolute immediately after entering the strange environment. But he just couldn't control his wild thoughts, because this can slightly dispel the anxiety and tension that penetrated to the marrow—he is just an ordinary person, a small citizen who lives in a daze, and the biggest life crisis he encountered until three days ago was nothing more than It's just that the house can't be rented out, just such a small citizen, how do you make him calm, courageous and smart

Another faint wolf howl came from far away, but it might just be an illusion caused by too much tension. Hao Ren couldn't help but think of the werewolf at home who had a problem with his brain: Lily would also call that, And it sounds much better. It would be great if that werewolf was also there... Although the brain is not enough, it should be enough to deal with wild wolves, right? Having said that, I don't know if she can get along well with Vivian. If I can't go back, the two of them will demolish the house within three days, but let them demolish it, anyway, it has nothing to do with me.

Hao Ren just walked on a seemingly endless prairie with his head full of wild thoughts. The surroundings were so vast that he felt that the scenery in the distance hadn't changed after walking for so long. If it wasn't for the people behind him The reclining chair had disappeared at the end of his sight, and there were two bright moons in front of him to point out the direction. He even felt that he was going around in circles at all.

The surrounding temperature is also getting lower and lower. The night wind on the prairie cannot be resisted by a T-shirt. At first, Hao Ren felt that the air here is fresh and refreshing, but now he really misses it. Half an hour ago the earth air was slightly hot and dirty with cities.

At this moment, there was another howl of wolves, this time very close and extremely clear, definitely not a hallucination.

Hao Ren felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end, and the weird sixth sense he had cultivated over the past 25 years was activated instantly. He realized that he had walked into a field of deep grass without knowing it, and the surrounding grass even buried his knees. In all directions, pairs of eyes with faint green light appeared gradually as if emerging from the darkness.

Ghostly wolves emerged from the grass. Hao Ren didn't know how these guys got so close without him noticing. To be honest, he was terrified at this moment. When did I see him!

But fortunately, even as an ordinary person, Hao Ren had a calm side that he was proud of. He resisted the urge to run away or cry out in surprise, because he knew that this would only lead to a faster death. Hao Ren confronted the pack of wolves, trying to find a way to escape, with a lot of depression in his heart and nowhere to vent: Could this be more unlucky? What is it to hang up so inexplicably!

It would be great if there was a self-defense weapon now. Although Hao Ren was sure that even with the Qinglong Yanyue Saber in his hand, he would not be able to beat the twenty or thirty prairie wolves in front of him, but at least he had a weapon that would give him strength. Courageous, but he carefully groped around for a long time but only found an old-fashioned Nokia... Well, this thing is a super weapon in a certain sense, maybe it can be used as a warhammer with a stick attached, but all this When life and death are at stake, let's stop playing cosmic magic tricks, shall we!

Of course, the pack of wolves would not give Hao Ren a chance to think wildly. Just when he was distracted, the nearest wild wolf suddenly pounced on him silently. Hao Ren only saw a black shadow coming towards him. The shape seems to be different from the wolf on the earth, and the only thing he can do is subconsciously raise his hand to block...

"Landlord! Landlord!"

A cry of death urging suddenly came from his ears, Hao Ren felt a headache, and the whole world was suddenly dizzy and turned upside down. When he opened his eyes in a daze, what he saw was a familiar street, a familiar old man. The house, the familiar gray city night sky with few stars, and Lily's cheeky face.

Hao Ren took a deep breath, which he didn't have time to complete when the wild wolf pounced on him before, and then he looked around in a daze: "Is this back?"

"What's back?" Lily poked Hao Ren's arm, and then pulled him up, "Landlord, you haven't come back to the house for a long time, the one with wings asked me to find you, and then I saw you lying on the ground, um , and screaming strangely."

Hao Ren was almost dislocated by this powerful bastard werewolf, but at least he came to his senses. Seeing that everything was fine, he turned his head to look at the reclining chair that had turned over at some point, and finally It is certain that the extremely realistic "traveling" experience just now is actually just a nightmare that makes people laugh and cry.

It's just that this dream is too realistic, right

"It's okay, I just had a dream." Hao Ren waved to Lily, feeling touched that the two troublesome people in the family cared about him - it would be even better if they could stop fighting.

And it was when Hao Ren waved his hand that he noticed something protruding from the clenched fist in his nightmare.

A pinch of black wolf fur.

"Damn it!!" Hao Ren quickly shook off the wolf fur as if pinching coals, jumping up, "Damn it!"
