If good morning is the beginning of a new day, then good night is the last goodbye to today, which is about to pass, leisure time always flies by, when it is time to sleep, Pang Heiwa washed up and entered the bedroom, lay down in the lower bunk, looking at the old wooden plank above her head, Pang Heiwa's voice sounded in the silent bedroom, "Dongsheng, are you asleep?" ”

"Not yet." Dongsheng's voice sounded.

"Hey, hey, I know, do you still have a headache?" Pang Heiwa asked with a smug smile.

"It doesn't hurt", Dongsheng replied, and said: "Heiwa, I have a headache today and said a lot of nonsense, which makes you and Teacher Pang worried, I'm sorry." ”

"Hey, you're fine." Pang Heiwa said nonchalantly.

"During the winter vacation this year, you are going to my house to play, and I will take you to fish and climb the mountains." Dongsheng said.

"Okay, I haven't been to your house for a long time, so it's time to go and play." Pang Heiwa agreed.

The two teenagers chatted like this, slowly forgetting what happened today, and only when they were both a little sleepy did they end the topic and go to sleep.

Dongsheng followed the sleepiness, his thoughts gradually fell into the unconscious darkness and fell asleep, the room fell silent, only the moonlight in the night sky outside the window, still candles illuminating the earth, time will not stay for anyone, tonight will pass a new day will begin, and the choice has been clear in the heart of the young man.

Dawn came as expected, a ray of light lit up the dark night, the sun rose, and in an instant, half of the sky was lit up, and the early morning Xiaoshi Town Middle School was wrapped in a light mist. And the light of sunrise is melting it, lighting the last firewood for the new day that is about to begin.

"Jingle bell~", the familiar alarm bell sounded, Dongsheng turned over and got up, put on his clothes, and started to wash in the washstand before Pang Heiwa turned off the alarm clock, "Oh, I'm in good spirits, young man!" Pang Heiwa said in surprise.

"That's a must, I have to go to see Teacher Li and Teacher Feng this week, and the exam is going to be again, so time is pressing." The boy replied as a matter of course.

"It seems that the headache has healed, and the spirit has returned to normal." Pang Heiwa thought in her heart, and said, "Yes, I don't know how Teacher Li and their situation is, and how long it will take to return to school." With that, he began to wash up.

Dongsheng listened to him, and only after washing up did he say: "Jiren has their own natural appearance, Teacher Li, they will be back soon, let's just do our own thing." After finishing up, he put on his schoolbag and went to the living room to wait for Pang Heiwa, Pang Heiwa did not procrastinate, after a few times he packed up his schoolbag and went out with Dong Sheng, walking in the corridor, the two discussed what they were going to eat this morning, and when they came to the conclusion, the two had walked out of the corridor and reached the gate of the teacher's dormitory.

"Dongsheng, you see that peace buckle is still on the windowsill!" Pang Heiwa caught up with Dongsheng and said.

Hearing this, Dong Sheng looked at the windowsill of the guard's room, the gray and dull jade buckle, lying quietly on the windowsill, like a lost little girl, squatting on the side of the road crying and scolding, and shrunk into a ball of grievances.

The boy stood there, watching quietly, time seemed to be frozen, and the teacher who occasionally passed by around looked sideways at the two teenagers, but left without knowing the reason, Pang Heiwa, who was also standing on the side, was a little embarrassed, thinking of the fragrant buns in the canteen, or said loudly: "Dongsheng, if you really want to get rid of that jade button, buddy, don't be embarrassed today, and if you don't go to the canteen, your favorite sprout bun will be sold out......." ”

Immediately, he was about to cross the winter sheng, walked to the windowsill of the guard's room, and whispered: "Wait a minute, I grabbed the jade button, and while Uncle Cao didn't find out, I rushed directly to the canteen, and maybe I could eat the first few cages of buns." ”

"Let's go", the young man raised his hand to block a reckless man who was about to do evil, and turned to leave in the direction of the cafeteria.

"Oh, okay." Pang Heiwa was a little confused, so she could only buckle her head and keep up with the departing Dongsheng.

Although the young man had already made up his mind in his heart and knew his choice, he thought he had put those things down, but he didn't expect Uncle Cao to take away the soul stone, she was still put there, just like where the young man put her yesterday, in the eyes of the young man, the soul stone became Zhou Xiaomiao's appearance, she squatted at the door, her hands were holding her knees, and her godless eyes stared at the ground in front of her, like a stone statue with dust.

"It's okay with me! It's nothing to do with me! The young man who walked to the cafeteria muttered repeatedly, until Pang Heiwa reminded him, and then woke up that it was his turn to buy breakfast, "Are you okay...... Pang Heiwa was a little speechless and stopped.

"It's okay, my head is still a little uncomfortable, it will be fine in a few days." Dongsheng explained casually.

"Okay, tell me something." Pang Heiwa said.

"Okay." In response, the two of them ate breakfast and walked to the classroom, devoting themselves to a day of study, of course, secretly reading comics and reading novels, but compared to Teacher Li's ease, Teacher Zhao's sternness also left a deep impression on the two guys, such as the Sphinx pasted on the glass of the back door, and the shadow assassin with silent steps.

The morning of being forced to study seriously flew by, and the two exhausted teenagers could finally relax their nerves, and quickly picked up the comics while walking and reading, today is the market day of Xiaoshi Town, and people from other villages and towns will come to Xiaoshi Town to set up stalls to do business, and the two of them decided to go outside the school to see if there is anything delicious that they have not tasted, walking on the crowded streets, the two of them have comic books in their hands, their eyes skimming over all kinds of food, exploring the novelty that they have not discovered, "Wow, fried cicada chrysalis!" Pang Heiwa patted Dongsheng and exclaimed.

"Do you want to eat? The chicken flavor is crunchy. Dongsheng replied.

"No, I don't want to burst my mouth full of ......." Ponghewa shook her head.

Just as the two of them were about to go to other places, there was a movement in the distance, and the panicked voices of the crowd in the direction of the street came.

"Slash people! Someone has cut someone! ”

"Run, the youth of society has stabbed people!"

"Hey, it's fierce, there's a lot of blood!"

Hearing the sound of the crowd exclaiming, Dongsheng and Pang Heiwa hurriedly fled in the opposite direction, the promising young people in Xiaoshi Town often fight for the turf, but there is basically no situation of using the knife, after all, if you don't want to fight for the territory, you have to go in and step on the sewing machine, plus the Deng team of the town police station is a very responsible person, and will carry out ideological education for the promising young people in the town every week, so the public security in the town is still relatively good.

The two panicked teenagers ran out of the crowded street, both a little frightened, "Dongsheng, these second-rate people are crazy, huh~." Pang Heiwa gasped.

"I don't know, Uncle Deng will definitely die of anger this time." Dongsheng replied.

The two teenagers felt inexplicable, the promising young people in the town basically studied in Xiaoshi Town Middle School, and they were all familiar faces, according to the understanding of the two, how could they not need to go to the point of stabbing people, is the air outside too fragrant, do you want to go in and smell the fragrance of the toilet? Or is it because you have a crush on a female policeman at the police station and want to start pursuing it from entering the detention center?

The two of them, who really couldn't figure it out, decided to go to the place where the police were on duty at the police station on weekdays, and the reason why they ran so fast was because they were curious to see a promising young man fighting before, and they were almost beaten by the two people who thought it was hostile, so when they heard about the fight, the two of them hid far away.

When I came to the place where the Zhongjie Police Station was on duty, the police van that would be parked here on weekdays was nowhere to be seen today, and it seemed that it should have been the first time to stop the fight when I received the news.

"It seems that someone came to inform Brother Wang before us." Pang Heiwa said as she looked at the free parking space. Officer Wang often comes to their school to do law popularization propaganda, and is the person in charge of their school's "police academy co-education" office.

"Then it should be fine, let's ask Brother Wang later, it's too sudden." Dongsheng said.

"Okay", the two teenagers who were disturbed by the fight for lunch, only went to the tube street to find food, the most lively outer street, this happened today, basically those who came to the market to do business, only the promising young people who fought with the weapons, the eighteenth generation of the ancestors scolded again.

Just as the two of them were about to walk from Zhongjie to Zhuzi Street, Pang Heiwa suddenly said, "Dongsheng, who do you see is that?" ”

Following Pang Heiwa's gaze, Dongsheng saw a hooded man standing at the mouth of an alley, he was a little precocious in that dress, and a figure suddenly appeared in his head, "Zhou Shen!" He and Pang Heiwa glanced at each other and saw the same answer in each other's eyes, "Why is he here, and he is still so sneaky, shouldn't he be helping out in the home store?" Pang Heiwa said with some doubts.

"It's a little weird." Dongsheng also said with some puzzlement.

Just as the two were about to walk up to greet Zhou Shen, Zhou Shen had already reflexively walked to the alley, and when they came to the alley, Zhou Shen's figure was no longer visible, "What's wrong with him?" Pang Heiwa said,

"I don't understand, hey, forget it, what does it have to do with us, let's eat." Dongsheng scratched the head of the chicken nest and said a little speechlessly.

"Also, take care of him, eat and eat."

Then the two of them walked to Tube Street, found a small shop that they usually ate in, and hurried back to school after lunch.

There is not much difference between the afternoon study and the morning, it is still a tormented wait, "Jingle bell~." The bell after school rescued the two teenagers who were about to be unable to hold back, put the enhanced version of the homework assigned today into the schoolbag, the two went straight to the cafeteria, and after dinner, they rushed to the teacher's dormitory, just to finish their homework quickly, to be able to read comics and novels, this time when he went back and passed by the guard room, Dongsheng only glanced at the jade buckle and retracted his gaze, and walked towards the corridor, the scene in his eyes was still the same as before, Zhou Xiaomiao's soul was still squatting there, gray like a faded stone statue, Pang Heiwa saw that he didn't stay for a long time, so he didn't say anything, and followed him back to the dormitory, and the two of them returned to the dormitory and began to write their homework frantically, and it was the middle of the moon when they finished writing.

"Hey! Finally finished writing, this Teacher Zhao is simply a devil, not to mention the homework she assigns, and she also asks other teachers to assign it according to her amount, it's crazy! Pang Heiwa clutched her head and collapsed.

"Alas~", Dong Sheng also sighed, thinking of that Teacher Zhao felt hateful, and couldn't help but start thinking about Teacher Li, "I only need to solve the matter of consciousness fragments this week, and my life can return to normal", Dong Sheng thought to himself.

Because the teenagers who are tired of doing their homework, they are not in the mood to read comics and novels, after washing, they lie down and turn off the lights to prepare to rest, and after a while, the sound of Pang Heiwa's soothing breathing came from the lower bunk, Dongsheng knew that Pang Heiwa was asleep, "Alas~", sighed in his heart, Dongsheng was a little envious of Heiwa's character, eating well and sleeping unrestrained, since when did he start to become like this? Did it start with that dream? Looking at the ceiling, Dongsheng's mood was fluttering, sleepiness slowly hit, and Dongsheng fell asleep in a daze.

Consciousness is sinking, the original hazy consciousness, began to gradually wake up, until he woke up completely, lying on the bed Dong Sheng opened his eyes, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar ceiling, he knew that he had woken up in a dream again, at this time a voice came from his forehead, "Little boy, you are leaving", the figure of the eyeballs came, Dong Sheng hurriedly climbed down the upper bunk, came to the washstand, looked at himself in the mirror, looked at the third eye that seemed to be born on his forehead, Dong Sheng was also sure that he had entered the dream again, With some doubts, he said, "Brother Yan, why did I enter the dream again?" ”

"This is going to ask yourself", the big eyeball paused and said: "I said before that I am temporarily living here for you, usually it will not affect your dreams, and you can take a look, this dream only lasts in this bedroom, and it is pitch black outside, which means that the power of Dream Weaving is very weak, so only you may affect Dream Weaving." ”

Hearing this, Dongsheng looked out of the balcony, and sure enough, it was pitch black, and there was nothing, "Is it me?" Puzzled, Dongsheng spoke again: "Why should I maintain the dream in this bedroom? ”

"You ask me, I don't know, I'm not you, you should ask yourself." Eyeballs said helplessly.

"I don't know ...... myself." Dongsheng scratched his head in confusion.

"Hmm", he replied, and the big-eyed ballball spoke again, "I don't know why you trapped your consciousness in this bedroom, but I can guess it." ”

"How do you guess?" Dongsheng asked.

The big eyeballs groaned for a while, as if they were thinking, and then they said loudly: "First of all, this is just a room formed by dreams, and it is formed by your subconscious, so it can be understood that your subconscious is protecting you, and secondly, from your words and your reaction, you subjectively feel that this room is trapping you, so I guess you must be confused because of something, you subjectively want to ignore, and your subconscious forms this room to isolate yourself, making you seem trapped in the room, In fact, I trapped myself. ”

Hearing the explanation of the eyeballs, Dong Sheng was a little confused, but he still tried to speak: "So I trapped myself in the room?" ”

"That's right, so what happened to you in reality?" Eyeballs asked.

"You can choose to tell me, or you can choose not to say it, after all, for me, talking is better than nothing, just to pass the time." Eyeballs explained indifferently.

After listening to its words, Dongsheng hesitated, thinking that even if he said it, it would be nothing, and his eyes were well-informed, and he didn't need to worry too much, so he should talk to his friends, after all, Pang Heiwa had not experienced those strange things, and he could only talk nonsense when his head hit him, so he told him all the things that had happened to him recently, and listened to Dongsheng quietly with big eyes, and he didn't make a sound, Dongsheng couldn't help but say: "Brother Yan, are you asleep?" ”

"No, I'm thinking!" The eyeballs replied angrily, and then there was no follow-up, and Dongsheng didn't bother, quietly waiting for the eyeballs' answer.

"Brother Yan, if you think these things are very troublesome, don't pay attention to me, I'll go to bed and lie down for a while, and I'll go back when it's dawn." Dongsheng felt that it would be good for people to listen, so he didn't bother Brother Yan to help him solve his doubts, so he spoke according to his previous experience.

"Okay, okay, I just think enlightenment is very important, so I thought about it carefully." The eyeballs said soothingly, and then said again: "Dongsheng, do you think you are a hero?" ”

Dongsheng thought for a while and said, "No. ”

"Very good", the eyeball complimented, and added: "Then do you think the man who died that night was a hero?" ”

"They're heroes." Dongsheng said.

"Hmm", the eyeball replied, and said, "Then do you think they are willing to be heroes?" ”

"I don't know, but I think if I can live a safe and happy life, no one should want to be a hero." Dongsheng said.

"Yes, even you know this truth, even if you are still a little kid, do you think they will not know? But they still did it without hesitation and chose to become the hero in your mouth. The sound of eyeballs echoed through the bedroom.

"But I'm afraid, I don't want to die, if I die, I'll never see my grandfather again, and Heiwa, and everyone I know, so when Uncle Cao asked me, I was very scared, I knew I couldn't do it, I was just a coward." Dongsheng sat on the lower bunk, hugged his knees, and said with a gloomy look.

"Dongsheng, since we can't be heroes, let's be bears, do what we can, on the premise of protecting ourselves, and then think about how to help others, after all, you don't want to hurt anyone, you are innocent, you are just an ordinary person who wants to live a peaceful life." Eyeballs reassured.

"However, this is so unfair to those who have passed away, obviously they can live a stable and happy life like me, like me, but they are dead, and I am still alive, living complacently under the stability and happiness that they exchanged for their lives." Dongsheng buried his head in his knees.

"Yes, that's compassion and kindness as a human being, and when you know the truth, you become uneasy and even blame yourself." Eyeballs said.

"So, do you want to get out of this predicament?" The sound of eyeballs echoed in Dongsheng's ears.

When Dongsheng heard this, he raised his head and asked, "Is there a way?" ”

"Of course", Eyeball replied, "Do you want to hear it?" Eyeballs said again.

"I want to hear it", Dongsheng replied weakly.

"Hmm," the eyeball snapped, and continued, "That's learning to take responsibility." ”

"Take responsibility?" Dongsheng said with some puzzlement.

"Yes, a person's growth is to learn to take responsibility from the beginning, for example, because you are young, your parents need to go out to work, your grandfather needs to bear the responsibility of raising you, your teacher Li is your class teacher, she needs to bear the responsibility of your education, in the same way, although your parents did not fulfill the responsibility of accompanying you to grow up, but they are also working hard to create better living conditions for you, this is also another form of parenting responsibility, just with your grandfather to perform their duties, Everything you saw and heard that night was just a group of people trying to take responsibility trying to fulfill it, and when it comes to yourself, can you understand what it means to take responsibility now? Xiao Dongsheng. After speaking, the eyeballs fell silent, waiting for Dongsheng's answer.

The time in the dream seems to pass very slowly, so slow that Dongsheng feels that every minute and every second is torment, his mind began to recall the previous bits and pieces, he remembered when he begged his eyes to let Zhou Xiaomiao's soul go, remembered the division commanders who fought desperately that night, remembered those soldiers who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, and the memories in his mind were the memories of watching the flowers, he knew that no matter what he did, these people would not accuse him, and would even comfort him, so that he would not think too much, and live a good life, just like Mr. Pang, but the more so, The more uncomfortable he felt.

Dongsheng said with difficulty: "Brother Eye, am I an irresponsible person?" ”

Eyeballs hesitated for a moment, "Well...... you're a little bear, hahaha." ”

Dongsheng didn't feel annoyed by the mockery, he just felt distressed, "But I'm really scared, I'm afraid of leaving my grandfather, I'm afraid of pain, I'm afraid that I won't be able to read villain books, I can't read comics, and I can't eat delicious food." ”

"So, you're just a little dog bear who steals life and is afraid of death." Eyeballs continued to scoff.

Dongsheng had no choice but to be silent, squatting on the bed with his knees hugging and silently waiting for the end of the dream.

"Okay, you little kid, why do you want to do so much, your life is still very long, growth is not achieved overnight, you have worked very hard." Eyeballs reassured.

"Really?" Dongsheng asked timidly.

"Yes, you are too young, too young, there are too many truths, you don't even touch the edges, where do you know what is right and wrong, it is your reason to live well, someone once said (Bob Dylan said): 'How many seas does a white dove have to fly to sleep peacefully on the beach?' How many miles does a person have to go before he can be called a man? 'You have never even seen the sea, so why should you force yourself to understand the truth of this world?' Big Eyeballs whispered.

Dongsheng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I know. ”

"That's right, only by starting up can you look like a vigorous young man! Don't always be like an old man, I suspect you're older than me. Eyeballs said cheerfully.

"It's not because of these recent events, I want to be happy, too." Dongsheng said helplessly.

After the enlightenment of the eyeballs, Dongsheng's mood was also much brighter, and in order to pass the time, one person chatted with one eye at the beads.

"Brother Yan, in fact, I have a question, why do you know that my parents went out to work?"

"Well...... because when you are bored, you flip through your memory ......."

“……”

When someone is accompanied, time always flies quickly, and before he knew it, Dongsheng felt that his consciousness was blurring, and he knew that he was going back to reality, so he said: "Brother Yan, I'm going to wake up, thank you for telling me this." ”

"Hey, it's all a trivial matter, after all, it's temporary, you have to do something, go back quickly, by the way, I almost forgot to remind you of one thing, the matter of Zhou Xiaomiao's soul stone, you can do it yourself, anyway, she will dissipate in a few days, and there is only one human soul, which cannot be maintained."

"Why did I think she was okay before?" Dongsheng hurriedly asked.

"That's because, at the beginning, my strength was maintained, of course, my strength was also temporary, but, you got Dream Weaving later, this is a good thing for requiem, it's okay to have it in the soul, you threw her away, what do you care about so much, go back quickly." Eyeballs urged.

"Then Uncle Cao has a way?" Dongsheng asked without giving up.

"What can he do? Let her disperse faster? The eyeballs said, and then said, "Hurry up and roll rough, Eyeball, I'm going to sleep." ”

"Alright, then I'll go, Brother Eye." Dongsheng said as he climbed up the bunk.

"Well, goodbye." After that, the third eye closed its eyelids, as if it had really fallen asleep.

Dongsheng lay honestly on the bed, the feeling of confusion getting heavier and heavier, he felt that he was floating, and finally lost consciousness in the dark.
