Chapter 1: Nightmares to wake up

Next Chapter

The sky is gray, the ground is gray, the surrounding houses are also gray, and the whole world is dominated by gray.

Long Shenhan felt very strange, he stood still and didn't move. What is this place and why am I here?

One question after another appeared in Long Shenhan's mind, and before he could come up with a clue, a voice appeared in his ear: "Stinky boy, don't you run quickly, looking for a fight?" ”

The voice was eerie and extremely cold, like an eternal abyss from hell, which made people shudder in their hearts when they heard it.

Long Shenhan turned his head abruptly and saw a withered and lean little old man standing beside him, holding a very long stick in his hand.

All this was too weird, Long Shenhan was about to ask what was going on, and the stick hit him on the shoulder.

It hurts, it hurts, a pain from the depths of his heart spreads all over his body, making Long Shenhan tremble involuntarily.

"Run." The little old man raised his stick again and shouted loudly.

Long Shenhan knew that if he didn't run, he would still fight, so he had to pretend to run.

"You're fooling me." The little old man shouted, and the stick came down again.

Long Shenhan quickened his pace, trying to dodge the old man's stick, but he tried his best and still didn't dodge.

This time it hurt even more, doubling as much as the previous stick, Long Shenhan trembled and accelerated his pace and ran forward.

No matter how fast Long Shenhan ran, the little old man followed behind unhurriedly, and he no longer spoke, as long as the speed slowed down, the stick would be hit down with his head and face.

Long Shenhan was forced to run wildly until he was exhausted, and the little old man was still urging him to run quickly, and if he didn't run, he would fight.

His legs fell to the ground with soreness, and just when Long Shenhan suspected that he would be beaten to death by the little old man, he suddenly opened his eyes, and it was already dawn at this time.

It turned out to be a dream, a nightmare. Long Shenhan raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his head and let out a sigh.

Although it was just a dream, Long Shenhan felt like he had run all night, and his whole body was about to fall apart.

After moving my body, I didn't feel as tired as I thought. Today is Thursday, and I still have to go to work, the job I just got is not easy to come by, and Long Shenhan doesn't want to lose it.

After washing, Long Shenhan was still thinking about the dream at night, it was too real, and even the details were clearly remembered.

After studying in a second-rate university and finding several unsuccessful jobs, I finally found a job as an electrician in an electric company, and still went to the suburbs every day to pull wires, just like coolies.

The master told him that it was temporary to go to the suburbs to pull the line, and after this period of time, the work was not very tiring, so Long Shenhan gritted his teeth and stayed.

Dreaming of running, maybe he was too tired during the day, so Long Shenhan didn't take it to heart.

The work of pulling the thread is very tiring and boring, but the workers and the master are good to themselves, so Long Shenhan does not feel that it is too difficult.

At the end of the day's work, he went back to the dormitory after dinner and fell asleep, and the tiredness of the day made him forget yesterday's nightmare.

The gray sky, the gray earth, everything around is gray. In the distance, there were still endless mountains and gray forests, and the little old man was still beside him.

"What are you looking at, hurry up and run, look for a fight?" The little old man waved his stick and shouted.

Long Shenhan took a step back and asked, "Uncle, who are you, why did you let me run?" ”

"There's so much nonsense there, hurry up and run for Lao Tzu."

The little old man roared loudly, and hit Long Shenhan on the shoulder with a stick.

The pain of piercing the heart, Long Shenhan felt that this stick was like hitting his soul, and this pain had surpassed his body.

Involuntarily trembled and ran, the little old man still followed him unhurriedly, as long as the speed dropped, it was a stick.

I went over mountains and mountains along the way, and I didn't know how far I had run, and I didn't know how many sticks I had received. Long Shenhan felt that he was about to collapse, even if he was not killed by this little old man, he would have to die of exhaustion.

"Get up and run for Lao Tzu."

Long Shenhan, who was exhausted, woke up again in a violent beating, and he clearly felt that he was trembling all over.

The morning light shot into the dormitory through the gap in the curtains, and Long Shenhan felt for the first time that the morning light was so beautiful.

I was soaking wet, as if I had really run hundreds of miles, my legs were sore, and I was very tired physically and mentally.

After lying down for a while, Long Shenhan insisted on getting up and washing, and if he didn't leave, he would be late.

After getting up, Long Shenhan felt that his activities were not affected, and fatigue was just a feeling in his heart.

After a day's work, it's evening. Tomorrow is Saturday, and Long Shenhan slept late. He had been wondering if he had that weird dream again tonight, and he would have to ask the old guy what he wanted to do.

When I wake up, I think very well, but as soon as I fall asleep, I completely forget about it, and I run all night, and I wake up from exhaustion.

Having the same dream for three days in a row is definitely not accidental, Long Shenhan lay in bed and thought about it until eight o'clock before getting up.

Today is Saturday and I don't have to go to work, Long Shenhan hesitated again and again and still didn't go to the hospital, he didn't have much money in his pocket, because it was not worth it to dream of going to the hospital.

After checking the information related to dreams on the Internet for a day, all kinds of statements made Long Shenhan a little confused, and he didn't figure out why he had such a dream until it was dark.

After dark, Long Shenhan began to fall asleep, he was worried that he would still have dreams of being forced to run at night, his body and mind were already extremely tired, and he was about to be tortured to death by this strange dream.

Anyway, tomorrow is Sunday, Long Shenhan stayed up all night without sleeping, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until dawn. After eating lunch at noon, he really couldn't stay up, Long Shenhan set the alarm clock and prepared to take a nap for an hour.

The gray sky, the gray earth, the little old man appeared again, this time Long Shenhan saw clearly, the little old man appeared out of thin air.

"What the hell is your Tema, Lao Tzu won't run away, you can kill Lao Tzu." Before the little old man could speak, Long Shen Han shouted loudly.

The little old man was stunned, he didn't expect Long Shenhan to be like this.

Long Shenhan sat on the ground with his buttocks, posing as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

The little old man walked around Long Shenhan and said, "Boy, did you decide to give up, if you give up, I will leave, don't regret it in the future." ”

Long Shenhan saw that the little old man had something to say, looked up at him and asked, "You have been letting me run, you should always tell me, what the hell is going on?" ”

The little old man squatted in front of Long Shenhan, looked at his face, and said, "Boy, you hired me to train you, and now you are asking me what's the matter?" ”

Long Shenhan was completely blinded, and he didn't know this little old man, how could he hire him to beat himself with a stick and force him to run?
