Chapter 20: The Rumors

Shanty.

Pei Chu's face turned slightly pale, his feet seemed to be filled with lead, and he slowly walked into the wooden house, and every step seemed to use all his strength.

"I'm really tired! Uncle Fang, can I not go to the dock tomorrow? Pei Chu held on to the door of the wooden house, slowly moved his body towards the position of the bed, and asked Fang Yunhu behind him weakly.

At the end of a day's hard work, Pei Chu felt that his bones were about to break, and his muscles were even more sore.

Compared with the last work, today he unloaded a shipload of goods, which made him really feel how difficult the life of Xia Gong is.

"Achu, we are here to beg for a living, where is it possible to live comfortably."

Fang Yunhu, who followed into the wooden house, also had a tired face, this day's work was not easy, Rao Yi was a little unable to bear it, but when he heard Pei Chu retreat, he still spoke again, "Think about the life in my hometown, we are good now, at least we can mix and be half full, and after a while, your strength will be able to grow, and you won't feel so hard." ”

"Uncle Fang, that's what you said before."

Pei Chu gasped, moved his body to the side of the bed, and lay on his own wooden bed, so tired that he didn't even want to move his fingers.

Entering this dream world, yesterday was the first day, although it was hard, but because the goods he was wearing fell down, he was frightened, and Fang Yunhu did not let him carry too many goods after him.

At that time, I felt tired, but I was still in a state of excitement to explore this dream world, so I didn't feel very deep.

But today's work for most of the day, unloading from the ship from the Empire, made him suffer.

Fang Yunhu didn't have any accommodation to him, in the words of the other party, this strength was all trained by working day by day, and he would basically be able to adapt to it after a few months of practice.

In Pei Chu's real upbringing, although he is a left-behind child, his parents have always sent money home, and he began to live with relatives and neighbors. Some are lonely, without support, but they have never been able to do such heavy physical labor.

"I feel like I'm not interested in any boxing or martial arts now, or that monster or anything like that."

Lying on the bed, Pei Chu's eyes were straight, and his brain seemed to be completely unable to turn because he was too tired.

Not to mention the two practical fighting techniques that Liu Sixi taught him in the morning, it was when the monster that suddenly appeared came out, he also felt that he was eaten by the other party, and it was a good choice to leave the dream.

How hard Xia Gong's life in the Federation was, he now fully realized. A laborer in this world is many times harder than the people he knows who work on the construction site in real life.

And this day's hard work, in addition to eating, there are basically not a few left.

"Let me wake up from this dream quickly."

After a hard day, Pei Chu had completely lost interest in this dream at this time, and under the extreme fatigue, the psychology of escape kept surging in his heart.

Slowly, Pei Chu felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he seemed to vaguely hear the sound of Fang Yunhu talking to people at the door, but gradually the sound became distant, and his consciousness gradually sank.

Time seems to have passed like this, and it seems like it is only in the blink of an eye.

There seemed to be a glimmer of light in the darkness......

Pei Chu slowly opened his eyes, and the pale white in front of him appeared in his sight.

"It's back!"

Pei Chu thumped his head with his hand, looking a little crazy.

The moment before he fell asleep in the first dream, all he wanted was to leave the dream world and return to reality. But it didn't go as he wished, and he returned to the second layer of dreams again.

From the initial fear of these two dreams, to the interest in exploring later, and then to today's extremely tired after a day of work, he has developed a strong resistance.

The intense feeling of exhaustion after physical labor, the shackles of dreams that he couldn't break free, and his worries about himself in the real world made him panic completely.

"I'm not going to just be able to go back, am I? Always in the dream world? What about the real me? ”

Standing up from the ground, Pei Chu felt the heaviness of his body, this time the fatigue after doing heavy physical work did not seem to have completely disappeared, it seemed that his body was directly carried from the first layer of dreams to the second layer of dreams.

Looking at the empty hall glowing with white light underneath, Pei Chu no longer had the desire to explore before, but a little fear.

He had already spent two days in the dream world, and if he counted the second dream world, it might be even more, and he was afraid that it would be the same in reality.

In the real world, he is a student, and he basically doesn't have to think about anything other than academic pressure. Although my parents may not see each other a few times a year, they still come home and can see each other during the holidays. Even during the occasional summer vacation, he was able to go to the big city to see them.

If he really sank into these two layers of dream world like this, Pei Chu didn't know if he would go crazy.

Call!

Call!

A sound as if a strong wind was blowing at this time.

Pei Chu raised his head, his gaze fell on the cold and heavy stone door not far from him, and the whirring wind faintly came in from the gap under the stone door.

"It's that headless general again, right?"

Pei Chu listened to the sound of the wind, thinking of the headless generals he met in this dream world last time, and subconsciously thought.

I had already seen the scene of the headless general smashing those gray mist with two sledgehammers before, and Pei Chu even recorded a lot of the other party's movements.

"I seem to be practicing the tiger's head and tiger's tail feet, was it affected by the movements of that headless general?"

Pei Chu remembered that in the first layer of the dream world, when he was practicing the two moves taught by Liu Sixi in the freight yard, a thought seemed to suddenly pop up in his mind, and his body seemed to subconsciously follow with a fist-smashing action.

Looking back now, for some reason, it seems that the last time he peeked at this headless general with a sledgehammer and struck the gray mist in the second dream world, the movements seemed to be engraved in his mind, and as long as he thought about it, the movements of the headless military general came to mind.

"Gah!"

Just when Pei Chu was thinking about whether to take another look at the gap by the door, an extremely sharp voice suddenly came in from outside the stone gate.

Immediately afterwards, a huge impact sound of "bang bang bang" sounded outside the stone gate, the sound was so loud and powerful that it almost made the space under him shake slightly.

"What's going on?"

Doubts rose in Pei Chu's heart, this was the first time he had heard an abnormal sound in this dream space, and it was also the first time he felt an inexplicable external force.

Dragging his somewhat tired body, Pei Chu quietly walked to the back of the stone gate and looked out through the gap under the stone gate.
