It was already night, and the village was quiet.

After Zhang Chu and the others stopped the car, they got out of the car directly.

"Let's go, go to Fu Station." Zhang Chu said.

The three of them are all cultivated people, even if the weather is bad, even if it is night, they are not afraid of mountain roads.

Moreover, the cultivation of hot pot is also good, and with it, there is no need to be afraid.

However, just as the three of them wanted to go up the mountain, an old man appeared at the entrance of the village.

The old man shouted at Zhang Chu and the three of them: "Hey, you three, and that dog, what are you doing sneaking around?" ”

Zhang Chu and the three of them were stunned for a moment, there were still people awake in this small village.

"Is that thing deliberately waking up a person again?" Zhang Chu thought in his heart.

Of course, Zhang Chu understood that these awakened people were also involuntarily, and most of them were actually very simple and kind, so Zhang Chu replied: "Old man, we are just passing by, and we want to go up the mountain." ”

"Go to Fu Station?" The old man asked Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu was not surprised, after all, there was a Fu station nearby, and the local people must know about it.

So Zhang Chu said: "Yes, go to Fu Station." ”

"It's such a dark day, what are you doing at Fu Station, I think you seem to be capable people, you must be here for some strange things, right?" As the old man spoke, he walked towards Zhang Chu and the others.

Zhang Chu was surprised, he suddenly realized that this old man was a little different from the villagers who were usually asleep.

So Zhang Chu stood still and asked the old man, "Old man, do you know anything?" ”

"I know, I know, the people in our neighborhood for dozens of miles have all slept out, just me, I can't sleep, I am alone, and I am excluded from the outside."

"Huh?" Zhang Chu's hearts moved, and sure enough, this old man knew something that others didn't know.

The old man waved his hand to the three people: "Come to my house to warm up, drink some wine, chat with me, and go up the mountain tomorrow." ”

"Tonight, it's snowing so hard that you won't find your way."

"Okay." Zhang Chu said.

It just so happens that you can find someone who is familiar with the local situation and ask what is going on.

Soon, Zhang Chu and the three of them came to the old man's house with hot pot.

This small village is very small, that is, about 20 households, the old man's house is at the west end of the village, after entering the door, it is indeed very warm inside, there is a stove, and the fire is very strong.

In the back room, there was a burst of snoring.

"Someone asleep?" Zhang Chu asked.

At this time, the old man said: "Don't worry about him, that's my stupid son, who was kicked by a cow and broke his brain when he was a child, and now he can sleep every day, which is also a blessing." ”

Zhang Chu could see that the old man was a widower, and it was estimated that when he was young, his wife ran away with someone, leaving only a stupid son who depended on him.

At this time, the old man brought a bottle of wine, filled it with Zhang Chu, and then asked the two girls: "Do you drink?" I only have white wine, but not red wine or anything. ”

Bai Yan shook his head.

Ye Yan directly took a cup by herself: "It's full of it, who do you look down on." ”

The hot pot also drooped his tongue: "I drink it too." ”

The old man cut some pig's head meat, peanuts and other things, and put them on a small table, and several people temporarily set up a table.

"What do you call an old man?" Zhang Chu asked.

The old man said: "My surname is Bao, Bao Qingtian's bag, you can call me Lao Bao, everyone in the village calls me that." ”

"I'm Zhang Chu." Zhang Chu said.

Lao Bao raised his glass: "Xiao Zhang, come, take a sip." ”

Zhang Chu and Yeyan had a drink, and then Lao Bao said: "At a glance, you know that you are not ordinary people, you must be here for ten miles and eight towns, and many people are asleep, right?" ”

Zhang Chu nodded: "Indeed." ”

Lao Bao said: "I tell you, you don't have to worry about this matter. ”

"Leave it alone? What do you mean? Zhang Chu asked Lao Bao.

Lao Bao took a bite of the food, and then said: "It's not that they can't wake up, they don't want to wake up, and they are all lost in their dreams." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Chu's eyes lit up: "Listen to what you mean, you woke up from a dream?" ”

Lao Bao nodded: "Yes, I woke up from a dream." ”

Zhang Chu and the three of them were all immediately interested.

At this time, Yeyan said, "Can you tell me what's going on?" ”

At this time, Lao Bao said: "Actually, it's very simple, that afternoon, I suddenly felt very sleepy, and I fell asleep on the spot." ”

"After falling asleep, I went straight into a dream, that dream, not steady, as soon as I entered, I knew that I was dreaming."

"It's a lucid dream!" Zhang Chu said.

In fact, many people may feel this way when they dream.

You can clearly know that you are dreaming, and even control your dreams clearly, not only what you want to do, but also how the people or things in your dreams develop.

At this time, Lao Bao continued: "Yes, I know very well that I am dreaming, in my dream, there is a cat, a black cat, the cat's eyes, not like a cat's eye, but like a human eye." ”

Zhang Chu's heart jumped, the thing in Lao Bao's dream was not the cat he saw.

At this moment, Zhang Chu and the three of them listened carefully.

Lao Bao said: "The cat told me that it can help me weave a dream, in which I can do whatever I want." ”

"What do you want?" Zhang Chu asked.

At this time, Lao Bao said: "I told it, I want to be the emperor, I want a lot of women, I want to have a bunch of sons with those women." ”

"Then, the dream came true, in that dream, I really became an emperor, and I could choose a concubine, and I felt that I was about to live a fairy-like life."

"However, when I wanted to touch the first concubine, I suddenly remembered something, and I suddenly felt that I could not continue in this dream, I was going to wake up, so I woke up."

Zhang Chu listened with a strange look: "If you want to wake up, you can wake up?" ”

"Yes, although the dream was very real, I wanted to wake up, so I woke up." The old man said.

"And what did you think of that to suddenly decide to wake up?" Zhang Chu asked.

The old man said, "Son, I suddenly thought of my son, if I am a hard dreamer and never wake up, then what will my son do?" ”

"So, I woke up."

Zhang Chu frowned.

Then Zhang Chu shook his head: "No, Lao Bao, you can be awake in your dreams, but others may not be able to wake up in your dreams." ”

In fact, some people are unable to have lucid dreaming.

Zhang Chu felt that Lao Bao's situation was actually an accident, the demon who controlled everyone's sleep should not be so kind, and it was impossible for people to wake up if they wanted to.

Lao Bao said: "Actually, my son also woke up halfway through, and I even chatted with him." ”

"I told him that as long as he is not hungry, he can always dream of marrying a daughter-in-law, anyway, in his life, he can't marry a daughter-in-law, so let him go to his dream to have a good time."

"Can it still be like this?" Zhang Chu was surprised.

Lao Bao said: "Hey, it's a pity, I want to fall asleep again, find that cat, and want to dream of being an emperor again, but I can't sleep." ”

Zhang Chu directly used his heart to see if the old man was telling the truth or trying to lure himself to let down his guard.

As a result, what the old man said was true, and he really wanted to go back to sleep.

However, the old man was like a mouse, and he could not sleep.

"It's strange, you can wake up if you want to, this dream demon, what do you want to do?" Zhang Chu's heart was full of doubts.
