Chapter 49

Hu Xing didn't know how long she fell down. It felt like several days. But she knew that this feeling could not be counted. According to Aoki, there was no time in the dream, and time was just an illusion.

But she can't forget the concept of time. Anxiety and falling fear have been tormenting her. She almost quit several times. Fortunately, there was Aoki around.

Finally, there was a soft light in the darkness, and then the light became dazzling.

Then a red sun appeared in the sky and hung quietly overhead. It was very close. The scorching heat was very painful.

The outline of the mountain slowly appeared, and the beautiful terraces layer by layer appeared in front of us. There were many people working in the fields.

Xia Wen walked from the ridge with his feet and a cow. He shouted "woo woo woo" and drove the cattle into the field.

"Is this my grandfather's dream? It's so beautiful! I also want to farm!" Hu Xing remembered that when my grandfather was young, he went to Longji, Guangxi to participate in farm construction. It was said that there were terraces everywhere.

Aoki shook his head and said, "don't disturb others' dreams unless your mental power is strong enough to understand the rules of others' dream space and change it. Your grandfather's mental power is very strong, much stronger than you."

Hu Xing found that Xia Wenyuan's dream space was much larger than her own.

"What shall we do now?" Hu Xing asked.

"Just look at it," Aoki said. "No matter what happens later, you just remember that this is a dream and you don't have to do anything, okay?"

Hu Xing nodded obediently.

After the cattle got out of the field, Xia Wenyuan followed the cattle, held the plow and drove the cattle forward in the field. The mud in the paddy field was turned over by the plow and made a loud noise.

"Wen Yuan, why are you here now? If you can't finish the task of the team today, you'll be scolded again when you go back!" said a young man in the nearby field.

Xia Wenyuan pushed the cow and plow and said, "it's time, it's time."

"Wen Yuan, have you suffered from waist disease again? If you want me to say, go and tell the party secretary to take a leave," said another young man.

"It won't get in the way," Xia Wenyuan said.

The sun was getting stronger and stronger, Xia Wenyuan's clothes were soaked, and sweat dripped from his head like a heavy rain.

"Let's go to dinner!" someone shouted. The big guys put down their farm tools and went down the hill along the path of the terrace.

Xia Wenyuan also put down his plow and led the cow back.

"What are you doing? You can't eat until you finish your task today!" a middle-aged man came over with a cigarette pole,

"If I don't eat, the cow will have a rest!" Xia Wenyuan said.

"Then let the cattle rest and plough by yourself!" the man knocked on the cigarette pole and said, "the cattle are the cattle of the proletariat, and you are the offspring of the capitalists. The bourgeoisie still wants to eat? If you don't transform who you transform!" then he walked away with his hands on his back.

Xia Wenyuan had to pull the cow to the shade and tie it. A man carried the plow into the field.

He laboriously ploughed the mud in the field with his plow, wiping the sweat on his head from time to time.

Hu Xing felt sad.

Terraces were a symbol of beauty in her impression, but she never thought about how many people's sweat and suffering were soaked in this layer of land as beautiful as a picture.

Xia Wenyuan is still working in the field. The others never come back. He is the only one in the open mountains. The sun gradually moved westward, dragging his shadow for a long, long time.

"Coming." Aoki said suddenly.

As soon as Hu Xing wanted to ask something, he saw the shadow behind Xia Wenyuan moving.

The long shadow was rapidly shortening, sliding over the first step of the field, and shortening to only one person's height. The shadow slowly stood up, stretched out two hands and pinched Xia Wenyuan's neck.

Xia Wenyuan seems to be aware of it. He suddenly turns around and happens to face the shadow. The shadow pinched his neck, and he stretched out his hand to pinch the shadow's neck. A man wrestles with his own shadow.

Hu Xing covered her mouth and almost cried out. If Aoki hadn't told her not to interfere with Grandpa's dream, she must have rushed to see what happened at the moment.

"What shall we do?" she asked Aoki.

Aoki frowned. It seemed that the situation was more serious than he thought.

With a roar, the huge terrace mountain suddenly collapsed and became countless fragments, like the huge waves rolled up by the tsunami. Hu Xing saw that grandpa and the shadow were still entangled together, like two inseparable dough.

Then, as soon as the scene changed, Hu Xing found that they were already on the streets of a city, Grandpa and shadow rolled on the road, vehicles gave way one after another, and a whistle sounded.

Xia Wenyuan and his shadow rolled into the dark corner of the roadside. The shadow became dim and disappeared slowly. Xia Wenyuan wiped the sweat on his forehead and sat there breathing.

However, the searchlight on a construction site not far away suddenly came over for some reason. The shadow appeared again.

The light made Xia Wenyuan unable to open his eyes. His long shadow was reflected on the wall behind him and looked very tall.

The shadow is condescending, like a giant. He raised his foot and stepped down on Xia Wenyuan's head.

Xia Wenyuan stretched out his hand to block it, but he was at the end of a powerful crossbow, and the shadow was so tall that he couldn't stop it. He was stepped into the ground by the shadow.

Hu Xing screamed. She could no longer ignore Aoki's warning and would go over to save her grandfather.

But her eyes were in a trance for a while, and the scene suddenly turned into a dark sewer. Xia Wenyuan stood in the dirty water and looked around.

A wall lamp next to him suddenly lit up and cast his shadow on the water. The shadow rippled with the water lines in the water, and then twisted up.

Xia Wenyuan saw the shadow and ran forward. His shadow chased him. When you run to a place without a light, the shadow disappears, but after a while, a light will light up next to you, and the shadow appears again.

Soon came to the end of the sewer, where there was an exit closed by an iron fence. No longer need any wall lamp lighting. The natural light from the hole dragged the shadow behind Xia Wenyuan very long.

The shadow may be too long to stand up from the sewer, so it climbs twisted along the cave wall bit by bit.

"See how long you can hold on," said the shadow.

"I won't let you succeed," Xia Wenyuan said.

The shadow laughed: "you can't get rid of me! Every time you change a place, you consume your spirit. You will become more and more empty. You can't last long. I'm your shadow. You can't get rid of your own shadow unless you confine yourself in the dark forever."
