Chapter 24 A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Hao Ren got up from the ground on his hands and knees, then pinched his thighs and murmured to himself: "Damn it, can I still happily be an earthling..."

He was 100% sure that he had been enjoying the cool air in front of his house before. He was surrounded by the old streets and alleys that he had been familiar with for more than 20 years. The dilapidated houses that were common on Baishi Road in the southern suburbs and the potholed concrete road at his feet were clearly visible, but he just squinted a little. After a while, the surroundings had completely changed.

Hao Ren found himself standing on a vast and boundless prairie!

As far as the eye can see, it is endless. Only the green weeds covering the calves are spreading endlessly. The night wind, which is more refreshing than that in the city, blows in, and the grassland under the feet is rolling like waves. Hao Ren looked up at the sky. It was a clean and clear night sky filled with stars that he had never seen before in the city. The starlight was so dense and bright that he could clearly see the scene on the grassland under the night cover.

And at the far end of the horizon, two silver glows, one large and one small, are slowly rising into the sky. Among them, a halo-like bright glow can be seen around the edge of the larger silver moon - two moons!

"I know I can't read too many novels!" Hao Ren looked at the two moons rising slowly into the sky, and the night was filled with stars he didn't recognize (of course he didn't recognize many stars even on the earth), and finally I couldn't help but jump to my feet, "Did this fucking time travel?"

Hao Ren had pinched his thigh more than once, and now it was almost too painful to walk, so he felt that he was not dreaming. So what's going on with all this? Will you be thrown into a different world if you just enjoy the cool weather on the street? Dear mother, I still have two monster mothers at home waiting to be fed!

Hao Ren's mind was in chaos with countless thoughts running through it. He thought of a dozen classic cases of traveling to other worlds, and then thought about the two troubles at home and his newly obtained identity as an employee of the Space-Time Administration. But in the end, countless thoughts came to mind. It still turned into a long sigh, and he realized that he couldn't wait here, because he heard a wolf howling just now...

Hao Ren said goodbye to his recliner for the last time and walked towards the two bright moons in the sky: in that direction he could vaguely see the silhouette of a building, which at least was a target. Of course, he also knows that it is not a wise move to wander around in such a strange environment. It will either waste his energy or lead to greater dangers, but the key is that he feels that he has "traveled through"! The process of getting here is not normal. It is impossible to wait for someone to save you. It is better to take a look at the surrounding situation.

"The landing point of the time travel is unreliable. If you throw it into such a large grassland, how can you survive without even seeing a tree?" The grassland at night was so cold that Hao Ren could only hold his arms and muttered as he walked, "Is it difficult to survive?" Don’t you want to eat grass then? If you encounter poisonous weeds, you will die. It would be great if there was a forest. Let’s just build a workbench from a tree and maybe survive..." (minecraft meme)

It was obvious that Hao Ren was not a qualified time traveler: within ten minutes after arriving in a strange environment, his mind started racing, which was not at all in line with the setting that a time traveler immediately becomes calm, wise, persevering and courageous after entering a strange environment. But he just couldn't control his random thoughts, because this could slightly dispel the uneasiness and tension that penetrated his bones - he was just an ordinary person, a small citizen who lived in a hazy way. Until three days ago, the biggest crisis in his life was also It's just that the house can't be rented out. How can you make such a small citizen calm, courageous and smart?

Another faint wolf howl came from very far away, but it could also be simply an hallucination caused by excessive nervousness. At this moment, Hao Ren couldn't help but think of the werewolf at home who had some brain problems: Lily would also scream like this, And it sounds much better. It would be great if the werewolf was there... Even though I don't have enough brains, it should be enough to deal with wild wolves, right? Having said that, I don't know if she can get along well with Vivian. If she can't go back, they will demolish the house within three days, but let them demolish it. It has nothing to do with her anyway.

Hao Ren just walked on a prairie that seemed to never end with his mind full of random thoughts. The surroundings were so vast that even after walking for so long, he felt that the scenery in the distance had not changed. If it weren't for the scenery behind him, The recliner had disappeared from sight, and there were two bright moons in front of him to point out the direction. He even felt that he was simply going in circles.

The surrounding temperature is getting lower and lower. The night breeze on the prairie cannot be resisted by a T-shirt. At first, Hao Ren thought the air here was fresh and refreshing, but now he really misses it. The earth's air was slightly hot and dirty from the city half an hour ago.

At this moment, another wolf howl came. This time it was very close and clear. It was definitely not an hallucination.

Hao Ren felt the cold hairs on the back of his neck suddenly stand up. The weird sixth sense he had developed over the past twenty-five years was instantly activated. He realized that he had walked into a deep grassy area without realizing it. The surrounding grass was even buried above his knees, and In all directions, pairs of eyes flashing with faint green light gradually appeared as if emerging from the darkness.

Ghostly wolf shadows emerged from the grass one after another. Hao Ren didn't know how these guys got so close without him noticing. To be honest, he was frightened at this moment. Guess when have you seen him before?

But fortunately, even as an ordinary citizen, Hao Ren also had a calm side that he was proud of. He restrained the urge to run away or scream in surprise, because he knew that this would only lead to faster death. Hao Ren faced off against the wolves, trying hard to find a way to escape. He was depressed and had nowhere to vent: Could this be more unlucky? What a big deal it is to die so inexplicably!

It would be nice to have a self-defense weapon now. Although Hao Ren is sure that even if he holds the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, he cannot defeat the at least twenty or thirty prairie wolves in front of him, at least having a weapon can give him strength. He was brave, but after carefully groping around for a long time, he only found an old-fashioned Nokia... Well, this thing is a super weapon in a sense. If you attach a stick to it, it might be used as a war hammer, but it's not like that. This is a life-or-death situation, so let’s stop playing tricks on the universe, okay?

Of course, the wolves would not give Hao Ren a chance to think wildly. Just when he was distracted, the nearest wild wolf suddenly pounced on him silently. Hao Ren only saw a black shadow coming towards him. The shape seemed different from the wolves on earth, and the only thing he could do was subconsciously raise his hand to block...

"Landlord! Landlord!"

A burst of desperate screams suddenly came from his ears. Hao Ren felt his brain hurt. The whole world suddenly turned upside down. When he opened his eyes in a daze, he saw familiar streets and familiar old people. The house, the familiar gray city night sky with few stars, and Lily’s sultry face.

Hao Ren took a deep breath, which was something he didn't have time to complete when the wild wolf pounced on him. Then he looked around in confusion: "Are you back?"

"What's back?" Lily poked Hao Ren's arm, then pulled him up, "Landlord, you haven't returned to the house for a long time. The one with wings asked me to come find you, and then I saw you lying on the ground, eh , and screamed strangely."

Hao Ren was almost dislocated by the powerful werewolf, but he finally came to his senses. He looked at himself and saw that everything was fine, then turned to look at the reclining chair that had rolled over on the ground at some point, and finally I am sure that the extremely realistic "time travel" experience just now is actually just a nightmare that makes people laugh or cry.

It’s just that this dream is too realistic, right?

"It's okay, I just had a dream." Hao Ren waved to Lily, feeling quite touched that the two troublemakers at home cared about him - it would be better if they could stop fighting.

And just when Hao Ren was waving, he noticed something exposed from the gap between his clenched fists in his nightmare.

A tuft of black wolf fur.

"What the hell!!" Hao Ren shook off the wolf hair like a charcoal and jumped up, "What the hell!"
