This time, Yu Sheng fell asleep very quickly, probably because he had consumed too much energy. After the previous excitement subsided, he fell asleep almost instantly as soon as he lay down on the bed.
It was a series of bizarre and trivial dreams whose details were difficult to recall.
He was so groggy that he felt as if his consciousness was floating above a layer of hazy water. He looked down across the water and saw himself lying on the bed, No. 66 Wutong Road, and Eileen fiddling with it.
Using the TV remote control, I saw the beaver washing his tail by the pool, and then hanging the washed tails one by one on the clothes drying pole on the balcony, hanging them neatly in a row...
Yu Sheng gradually had difficulty distinguishing reality from reality, and he couldn't figure out whether he was dreaming or whether he really "saw" these scenes. His consciousness wandered like this for a long time, gradually sinking in an increasingly drowsy chaos, and then
Suddenly - he felt a solid touch coming from behind him.
Yu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes.
The first thing you notice is the towering trees surrounding it.
Boundless forest, endless trees, dense canopies intertwined in layers, covering the chaotic sky. Under the canopy is a dusk-like shadow, dark-colored vines are intertwined in the dense forest, and bushes are rampant in the open space.
There are also unknown flowers and plants growing everywhere - lush, but with a gray texture, covering the open space between the giant trees.
Yu Sheng stood up in confusion, feeling that his body was covered with thick leaves and rot.
And as he moved, the dark and dense forest with no visible edges seemed to come alive further. He began to hear the sounds of various unknown birds and animals coming from the forest, and something quickly passed through it.
In the forest clearing, the sound of flapping wings echoed among the tree canopies, and there were distant howls... The wolf howled, but it had a weird, human-like tone.
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, feeling that his mind was gradually waking up, and a sentence came to his mind - Good guy, what did you do to yourself all this time?
Are you dreaming? Or have you fallen into some strange "foreign land" again?
Yu Sheng stretched out his hand and pinched his thigh, feeling a slightly numb pain. He tried to call Irene in his heart, but he only heard a hollow whistling sound like wind blowing through the valley, echoing in his heart.
.
All kinds of abnormalities made Yu Sheng instantly heightened his vigilance.
He immediately reached out and reached into the air. After a moment, an illusory door emitting a faint light appeared vaguely in the air.
Fortunately, the "door" still works.
Yu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, then waved his hand to open the door, braced himself, and walked forward cautiously.
He needs to figure out what exactly this place is first.
He could vaguely feel that this place was different from the "Night Valley" he entered by mistake before. He should still be dreaming, but this was definitely not a normal dream. He couldn't say what connection this place had with the "foreign land", but
This forest was definitely not something that should appear in his own dream.
With his feet stepping on the thick rotten leaves, he felt a sense of powerlessness. Accompanied by a slight rustling sound, Yu Sheng carefully walked forward for a long distance. He passed through a small open space and crossed two fallen trees.
There are big trees on the ground, but the surrounding scenery has never changed. The forest seems endless, and it seems meaningless to walk on two legs in this endless dense forest.
At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly reached Yu Sheng's ears.
He instantly heightened his vigilance and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.
A big, fluffy-looking squirrel stood on a nearby dry tree stump, looking at itself with its small black eyes.
It seemed to be just a small animal in the forest, curiously running out of its hiding place to observe its "uninvited guest".
The surrounding atmosphere was strange, but after seeing this harmless little squirrel, Yu Sheng couldn't help but exhale and smiled at the squirrel.
The squirrel glanced at him, swept its big tail on the tree stump, and made a high-pitched voice: "Don't leave the path..."
The smile on Yu Sheng's face froze for an instant, and his eyes widened suddenly the next second: "Fuck! You spoke!"
"I haven't finished my words yet." The squirrel patted the tree stump with its tail and stood upright. "What the hell is the next sentence...Oh, don't be attracted by the beautiful flowers and mushrooms. Come back quickly."
Go to the path so that you can return home safely before dark~ Yes, there must be a cute ending note at the end, it’s so damn cute.”
Yu Sheng: "..."
The squirrel not far away was holding its paws proudly and staring straight at this side.
Yu Sheng pinched his thigh again, as if to confirm whether he had just heard a hallucination - what did this cute creature, which looked harmless to humans and animals, just say?
The squirrel seemed a little impatient. Seeing that Yu Sheng hadn't moved for a long time, it tapped the tree stump with its big tail a few times: "Let's go, why are you standing there? Don't even take the first step."
I will die in the dark forest after all."
Yu Sheng finally confirmed that he was not hallucinating just now, but he did not "continue walking and return to the path" as the squirrel said, but walked towards the squirrel curiously, with a look of surprise and confusion on his face:
"Who are you? What is this place?"
"Are you blind? I'm a squirrel!" The squirrel held its paws without fear at all and stared directly into Yu Sheng's eyes, "Can't you see this place? It's a forest, a black forest, a big one
The endless black forest - why do you look so stupid?"
As he spoke, the cute but rough squirrel moved two steps to the side, looked around, as if he was looking for something, and muttered at the same time: "That's weird... that one's not dead yet."
Ah, why did a new one appear... The one is dying now? But why is this one a man..."
Listening to the squirrel's muttering, Yu Sheng's heart suddenly moved for some reason, and he subconsciously said: "Death? Who is about to die?"
"Little Red Riding Hood," the squirrel wiped his face with his paw and said casually, "I don't know which generation...the eighteenth generation? Or is it the twenty-eighth generation Little Red Riding Hood...?"
Yu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his heartbeat jumped a few beats faster at this moment. Then he seemed to suddenly think of something, looked up at the endless forest, and listened to the vague,
Weird howl.
The distant and familiar nursery rhyme melody seemed to have echoed in his mind, the little figure in the red cloak, the figure walking on the path in the forest, the flowers and mushrooms that tempted her deep in the forest... and so on.
There is that bad wolf.
Yu Sheng suddenly felt a slight sting and a little heat on his shoulder. He turned around and saw blood oozing out of his shoulder at some point. The scarlet color slowly smeared on his clothes, forming this patch of blood.
A flash of dazzling color in the dark, gray forest.
That's where the wolf that emerged from Little Red Riding Hood's shadow bit him during Night at the Museum.
The blood stains slowly faded away, but Yu Sheng gradually understood what happened.
After all, her own blood has established a connection with Little Red Riding Hood...could the evil wolf chasing her be considered a part of her? So, is this actually her dream?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, but the squirrel's voice suddenly came, interrupting Yu Sheng's random thoughts: "No! No, no!"
Yu Sheng was instantly startled: "What's wrong?"
"That Little Red Riding Hood is indeed not dead yet! She's not about to die either!" The squirrel jumped up on the tree stump, looking a little panicked. "The wolf hasn't caught up with her yet, and the wolf is still looking for you in the forest...
Who is it? How the hell did you get in?!"
Yu Sheng vaguely felt that the other party's last words sounded familiar...
However, he did not dwell on this, but spoke quickly: "I am her friend - what did you just say? You said Little Red Riding Hood will die? And which number did you say? What does this mean?"
"Friend? A friend who came out of nowhere! She was walking alone on the path in the forest - there are no friends for Little Red Riding Hood in the forest!" The squirrel suddenly became excited and jumped up and down on the tree stump. "Something is wrong, something is wrong, this forest should not change.
Yes, it will be even more difficult when changes occur...Don't embarrass a squirrel! The squirrel is already very busy! This place..."
It suddenly stopped again, as if it heard something moving, and listened blankly.
Yu Sheng subconsciously said: "How..."
"Shh-" The squirrel raised its paw very humanely, signaling Yu Sheng to keep quiet, "Listen carefully... the wolf has stopped barking."
There was silence in the forest. The vague howls of wolves that came from the distance disappeared at some point, and even the sounds of other birds and animals that had been coming from nearby also became quiet.
An eerie, disturbing silence enveloped the forest.
Yu Sheng's nerves became tense, and in the next second, the squirrel suddenly jumped down from the tree stump, and then rushed to his shoulder like lightning, making a sharp cry: "Run! The wolf is coming!"
Yu Sheng was startled by the sudden move of this little thing, but his body reacted long before that. He turned around and ran away subconsciously, but until then, he felt a belated sense of creepiness and pain that seemed to pierce through his body.
Only then did the coldness of his soul catch up - the overwhelming malice and the omen of impending death came crushingly, impacting Yu Sheng's mind, mixed with the howling wind, and chased his footsteps.
