He looked at me with disdain, as if it was fate to meet here.

"Do we know each other?"

I stared at him with cold eyes, not wanting to entangle with this kind of drug dealer.

"Forgot about me so soon?"

The middle-aged man sneered, and the girl in white in his arms was hugged tighter by him.

"I'm sorry, not impressed."

I lay on the bed and turned sideways, avoiding his defiant gaze.

The further north the train went, the faster the temperature dropped, and I covered myself tightly and fell asleep.

In my sleep, I flew between the clouds, the fine mist rushed in front of me, making me feel very comfortable, overlooking the earth, the distant mountains and mountains were stacked, stretching, a big river rushed out of the mountain stream, rushing on the green meadow, the grass grew warblers flying, a group of butterflies flying, a quiet and peaceful picture.

Suddenly, the clouds and ice condensed into snow, and flakes of snow fell, covering the green weeds and solidifying the delicate yellow flowers, and within a moment, the earth became a vast sea of snow, like Santa Claus's hometown, and like the vast white wasteland of Norway.

There was a small black dot in the distance that was moving slowly, I was like a gust of mountain wind, quickly drifting past, the black dot was getting closer and closer, looking closely, it was a traveler walking in the snow, his face was tightly covered, leaving only a pair of deep eyes exposed, the mist condensed into frost on his long eyelashes, he twisted his frozen red eyebrows with his hand, and continued to move forward with difficulty.

He was wearing a sheepskin jacket, shiny leather was exposed, a gray felt hat, black wool trousers, and a pair of sheepskin boots.

He came to a forest of steles, took off the hat on his head, untied the scarf wrapped around his mouth, and when he saw his face, he surprised me, this, isn't this me, what am I doing in such a place?

In the dream, I stood in front of the stele forest, his eyes were sharp and bright, and he looked at the white snowfield around him and frowned.

After a few moments, the stele moved, making the sound of Caracalla, and finally the stele formed a semicircle, and a pitch-black hole appeared in the center of the circle, and a long stone staircase led to the cave, and a gust of wind blew, and a terrifying sound sounded in the cave.

He rubbed his frozen cheeks, coughed lightly, and walked into the cave.

Like a floating soul, I floated in with my dream self.

The stone wall of the cave is hung with long-lasting lanterns, the dim candle flame illuminates the moss-covered stone steps, the road leading to the cave is very long, about a quarter of an hour or so, I feel that my whole body is surrounded by cold air, and in my dream, I seem to have been accustomed to this cold climate.

Walking into the bottom of the cave, I was so shocked by the scene in front of me that I couldn't breathe, the gold and silver jewels all over the ground, in the dim light, refracted dazzling light, ancient coins in the corners, precious blue and white porcelain, indescribable treasures, so many kinds, piled up into mountains, innumerable.

I felt like I was in the underground treasure vault of medieval pirates, where the wealth amassed could save a country from financial crisis, but why did I come to such a place in my sleep? What do I have to do with all these innumerable treasures?

When I was surprised, a vague figure appeared in front of me, he slowly walked towards me, his hazy face became clearer and clearer, and when I got closer, I was surprised to find that it was Sun Kai, he was wearing a decent dark blue suit, tall and shapely, combing a neat back, and there was no expression on his cold cheeks.

"Wang Tao, have you thought about it? As long as you promise me, it's all yours. ”

He sneered, took out a white handkerchief, pressed it on the tip of his frozen red nose, and looked at me with pity.

"Don't dream, people have a bottom line, and I will never do anything with you that violates morality and conscience."

I resolutely retorted to him, furrowing my brows, disgust on my cold cheeks.

After hearing this, Sun Kai turned his back and said disapprerovitically: "Wang Tao, do you know why you can't succeed?" ”

I stared at him, every muscle in my body trembling slightly, as if it was difficult for me to survive tomorrow in this lifeless world.

When he saw that I didn't answer, he said to himself: "Because people like you don't deserve success at all, you won't judge the situation, seize the opportunity, and if you want to survive in this world, you have to do everything you can to fight for it, and you have to hollow out your mind to calculate, instead of being like you, always being a small citizen in the market, short-sighted, living in a corner of the city, stealing a living, sitting in a well and watching the sky." ”

He came up to me, I could even feel his snort, he smiled coldly, the piercing laughter resounded at the bottom of the hole, and my scalp was numb and I broke out in a cold sweat.

"So, only by listening to me and cooperating with me can you get out of that filthy basement and get a wealth you once couldn't even imagine."

"Listen, you'll never want to take anything from me, nothing."

I clenched my fists and looked at him through gritted teeth, frowning and grime.

"Hahahaha, then you will be buried forever in this underground that will not see the light of day."

He laughed loudly and raised his arms, his angular features distorted and distorted, and he couldn't see his original appearance clearly.

His body turned into a bubble, floating in the dark chamber, landing on the stone wall, bursting, and finally completely dissipating into the darkness.

Suddenly, the bottom of the cave shook violently, and the dream self staggered out, but the shock wave was too strong, and I didn't run a few steps, and then I fell to the ground, and the huge stone fell down with a bang, pressing on my small body, the cold wind was biting, freezing my face, and the whole body soon lost consciousness, allowing the endless cold wind to invade, and finally, I closed my eyes, and my whole consciousness drifted away in the darkness, annihilating hope and cutting off the lovesickness.

I was woken up by Xue Xinyan and found myself lying on the ground, the cold iron floor irritating my skin, and the quilt rolled down with me, and the bed was a mess and messy.

"What's wrong with you, Xiaotao, are you having a nightmare?"

Xue Xinyan looked at me with a worried face, picked up the quilt that fell on the ground, put it on the bunk, and stretched out another hand to pull me up.

I regained consciousness, but the long dream became a bit of a trance, and I sat on the bed, wondering why I was having such a boundless dream.

Xue Xinyan sat beside me, grabbed my hand, and said softly, "What's wrong with you, are you sick?" ”

She put her hand on my forehead and felt my temperature.

"Uh, it's fine, just had a weird dream, just wash your face."

I looked across and found that the middle-aged man and the girl in white were gone, so I hurriedly said to Xue Xinyan, "Xinyan, where is the person opposite?" ”

"Got off the train at the first two stops, do you know them?"

Xue Xinyan looked at me with a surprised face.

"Oh, I don't know, we met when we were on the train before."

I stood up, walked out of the carriage, went to the smoking area and took out the cigarette case, and when I was about to point it, I found a tall man staring at me, with a high nose, red phoenix eyes, and surprisingly pointed ears, much like an elf in the Middle Ages, wearing a black tracksuit, white sneakers, and short hair.

I didn't care, I turned away, lit the cigarette in my hand, and just took two puffs, I felt the man behind me walking towards me.

I tensed my nerves for a moment, turned my face warily, and looked at him with my eyes.

It was getting late, night was falling, and through the glass of the carriage, the scenery outside was shrouded in darkness, with only a few lights falling in the distance, dotted with stars, emitting a faint glow.

"The further north you go, the shorter the days and the cooler the temperatures."

He stood behind me, as if talking to himself, as if he had spoken to me.

I turned my head slowly, glanced at him, and didn't say anything.

"Where did you get off?"

He took a puff of cigarette and squinted his eyes, a hint of vicissitudes in his confused expression.

"Qingdao."

"Oh, that's a good place, is it a business trip?"

He continued to ask, flicking the ash into the iron ashtray hanging on the wall.

I straightened my plaster arm, looked out the window and said, "Travel." ”

I glanced down at my watch, there were less than three hours before I arrived at the station, I didn't know if Xue Xinyan had eaten, I extinguished the cigarette in my hand, and planned to go back to the bunk.

As soon as I took two steps, he hurriedly stopped me and whispered, "Brother, do you want to make a lot of money?" ”

He looked straight at me with excitement in his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

I frowned and asked him for some reason.

"I have a good project that is foolproof, and I haven't promoted it in the market yet, I need a partner, rest assured, we will split it in half after making money."

He described it like an orator, and every word he said was sonorous and powerful.

I turned around and asked, "Project?" What project? ”

When he saw that I was interested, he began to instill his theory in me: "Do you know the theory of success, such as the American success scientist Carnegie, and Ogur Mandino, etc., they created the success science is the benchmark that many people seek after and learn from today. ”

He said it with a colorful voice and a dance with his hands.

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

I looked at him with some impatience and a frown.

He coughed lightly and continued: "We transmit this marketing model to enterprises and individuals, train them how to succeed, help enterprises make profits, give lectures every day, and have gold medal lecturers to teach them, so that everyone knows the greatness of success learning, if we can organize more people to pass on our doctrine, then there is no money to make in the future, this is the project I want to tell you, how about it, are you interested in joining?" ”

He looked at me expectantly, and his body trembled slightly because of the excitement he spoke.

I sneered, isn't this a pyramid scheme, and it is also called a lecture on success.

I didn't bother to talk to him, so I turned around and walked away, he followed quickly, and hurriedly said behind me: "Hey, brother, you can really make a lot of money if you think about it." ”

I was furious, turned back angrily, and shouted, "Get out, get away, or I'll beat you to death." ”

When he saw that I looked fierce, he walked away tremblingly, muttering obscenities that were intimidating.

When I returned to the bunk, I found that Xue Xinyan was gone.
