The master said not to judge people by their appearance

The cold water flowed into his nostrils and flowed from his nostrils into his lungs, choking him so hard that he couldn't breathe.

Xie Yunlan wanted to get out of the water, but there was a huge force on the back of his head, forcing him into the water, he was struggling desperately, but he felt that the palm holding him was extraordinarily huge, twice as big as him, Like a giant with a height of several feet, compared with his opponent, his strength is like an ant trying to shake an elephant.

The suffocation made him extremely painful, but behind him came the joyful laughter of the men, as if taking pleasure in his pain.

"Don't kill it." Someone stopped it, but it was not out of good intentions. He said, "If you die, you can't sell it."

"Don't worry shopkeeper, I know what to do." The man holding Xie Yunlan said with a smile.

He was probably counted. Before Xie Yunlan felt that he was about to drown, a force suddenly lifted him up, and he came into contact with the air again, breathing heavily.

"Remember! If you try to run away again, I'll kill you next time!" The man threatened him viciously, then grabbed his collar like dragging a sack, and threw him into a dark room middle.

There was a sound of locking outside the door, and Xie Yunlan rolled on the ground twice, but he still hadn't recovered from the previous suffocation. He lay on the ground, coughing constantly, trying to spit out the stagnant water that had choked his lungs.

While coughing, one pair of hands put on his back and patted him. This helped Xie Yunlan gradually recover. After he spit out the water, he turned to look at the person who patted his back. It was Shen Fan.

But it was not the Shen Fan he was familiar with. The Shen Fan in front of him was much smaller, his height had shrunk by nearly half, his hands and feet were short, his cheeks were still a bit round, not as sharp as when he was fully grown.

He turned into a seven or eight-year-old child.

"Why do you..." Xie Yunlan wanted to ask in surprise, but then he found that he seemed to have become smaller.

Just now he felt that the person holding him was a giant, but in fact it was not, it was just that he became smaller, like Shen Fan, he looked like a seven or eight year old child.

"How could this be?" He looked at his much smaller palm and asked in bewilderment.

"This is the second level of the dream." Shen Fan's voice also changed, becoming crisp and tender, he said, "The consciousness of the dreamer in the deep dream will have a greater impact on the dream, so our appearance has also changed. Change."

Xie Yunlan stared at his face, thinking that he looked old at seven years old. Shen Fan was very good-looking when he was a child, and he was different from the handsome man when he grew up. At this moment, his cheeks are round, his voice is also milky, but his tone is quite different. Very serious, like a child pretending to be an adult on purpose.

Kind of cute.Xie Yunlan thought to himself, he still had a serious look on his face, and said, "Then why haven't your clothes changed?"

Shen Fan was still wearing his clean white clothes, which was a miniature version of the one he usually wore, while Xie Yunlan was wearing thin cloth clothes with holes in them.

And when he woke up, he was held down in the water, while Shen Fan stayed in the room well, obviously they fell into a deep dream together, why is there such a big difference?

Shen Fan said: "I entered the dream realm of the dream master through your dream, and the dream master's consciousness also affects me, but not as much as you."

I see.After figuring it out, Xie Yunlan turned to look around again. The room was pitch black, with only a little light peeking out from the windows and the cracks in the door. He asked, "What place is this?"

He knew that this was the deep dream of the dreamer, but he didn't know where the dream happened, who were the people outside, and what roles did he and Shen Fan play at the moment.

Shen Fan didn't know either, he said: "The deep dream is closer to the dreamer's heart, this is probably where he once stayed."

Xie Yunlan's heart moved, he might be able to find clues about the identity of the dream owner from this.

He walked to the door and peeped out through the narrow crack of the door. He saw a courtyard. On the left side of the courtyard, there was a sycamore tree with bare branches and yellow sycamore leaves falling all over the ground.

This is late fall.Xie Yunlan judged, and he also guessed that they should still be in Yazhou City, because he saw a group of residential houses outside the courtyard, and the roof shape of these houses was exactly the same as that of Yazhou City.

On the right side of the courtyard is a stable with more than ten horses tied to it, and someone is pouring hay into the trough to feed the horses.

No, that's not human.

Xie Yunlan was pressed into the water just now, and his eyes were blurred by the water. He didn't have time to see what the people in the courtyard looked like. Only now did he realize that these "people" were all monsters with wolf heads.

These monsters walk upright like humans, and even wear clothes, shoes and socks like humans, and they speak in an understandable human language, but their heads are all ferocious wolf heads, and they grin their teeth when they speak. terrible.

Why are there so many wolf-headed monsters in Yazhou City?

Wait, maybe they're not monsters.Xie Yunlan realized that this was in a dream, and these were probably still human beings, but in the eyes of the dream master, they were such ferocious and terrifying wolf-headed monsters.

In this way, what happened to him just now is likely to be what the dream master once experienced.Xie Yunlan thought about the phrase "If you die, you can't sell it", and understood something.

These are traffickers, and the dream master was abducted and sold by these people when he was seven or eight years old.

He talked with Shen Fan about his guess, and asked at the same time: "Where will Mr. Yuanmou be?"

This is their original purpose of coming to the deep dream, to find Wei Chengzhi and wake him up.

"I don't know." Shen Fan said, "But he is probably somewhere in this dream."

Then I have to find someone, Xie Yunlan looked around the house, trying to find a way out.

His eyes stopped on the only window, which was not sealed, but it was so high that adults couldn't reach it, let alone children, so the traffickers weren't worried that they would run away.

Xie Yunlan tried to jump, but his body became smaller, and the martial arts he had practiced for many years also shrunk. Fortunately, the skill of controlling his body has not been forgotten. He jumped higher than ordinary people, but he still couldn't reach the window.

He looked around and saw a pile of firewood piled up in the house. He moved the firewood under the window and made a platform for feet. After stepping on it, he used his strength to jump and finally managed to touch the window edge.

He didn't turn over in a hurry, but propped up his arms and looked outside the house for a while.

It's meal time now, and those wolf-headed monsters probably went to eat, and there was no one outside the house, so Xie Yunlan opened the window, and before leaving, he turned around and said, "Wait for me, I'll come back later to find you."

Shen Fan nodded.

Xie Yunlan opened the window and went out. He carefully turned around in the yard, and figured out the general terrain. There are two exits in this yard, and the main entrance is not allowed. Closed, he circled around, and finally looked at the stable for horses in the backyard.

Behind the stable is the courtyard wall, the courtyard wall is higher than the windows, it is difficult to climb out, but after climbing into the stable first, it is easy to climb out.

Xie Yunlan had an idea, he found a stone in the courtyard, moved it under the window, stepped on the stone and jumped up to the window, lying on the window sill, stretched out his hand to Shen Fan below, and said, "I'll pull you up."

Shen Fan was not as good as Xie Yunlan, he stepped on the firewood and tried a few times before successfully crawling out together under Xie Yunlan's pull.

The two jumped out of the window, Xie Yunlan took Shen Fan's hand, and went straight to the stable.

It was Xie Yunlan who took the lead in the front. He became very careful when he climbed into the stable, because animals like horses are very alert and easily startled, which in turn attracted the attention of those wolf-headed monsters.

Xie Yunlan relaxed his hands and feet, rolled up smoothly without disturbing the horse, and then stretched his hand down as before, pulling Shen Fan up.

Half of his body was hanging upside down on the barn, and he was watching the horses in the barn while he was pulling. He just wanted to be careful not to frighten them, but he suddenly noticed a problem.

These horses look thin and feeble at first glance, and they are worthless and inferior horses. However, although Xie Yunlan does not love horses as much as Huang Yaowu, he has a good understanding of the quality of horses after many years of marching. After careful inspection, he found that these horses In fact, they are all good horses worth thousands of gold. They are now weak and weak because they have been starved. They only need to be carefully fed with good forage for a few days, and they can return to their original state.

There are more than a dozen horses in this shed. Ordinary people and caravans will never have so many golden horses at home, and they deliberately starve into such a thin and thin appearance. Xie Yunlan glanced at the house where the wolf-headed monster is. What are these people? What do you do?

He had no time to think about it, after pulling Shen Fan up, the two of them were about to turn over the courtyard wall together.But he overestimated the stability of the stable, he could stand it alone, and together with Shen Fan, the stable collapsed suddenly.

Xie Yunlan grabbed Shen Fan with quick eyes and hands, and didn't let him fall, but he couldn't take care of the collapsed stable. The roof of the stable fell on the horses, and there was a burst of neighing in the yard, which disturbed the people who were eating. The wolf-headed monster, one person came out to check, and saw two people who were about to escape over the wall.

The wolf let out a cry mixed with anger: "This little girl has escaped again!"

girl?Xie Yunlan was stunned, the girl must not be calling him, this dream is made up of the dreamer's consciousness, and nine times out of ten it also happened to the dreamer, so... the dreamer is a woman?

Before he had time to think, all the wolf-headed monsters chased them out, there were eleven of them, and one of the wolf-headed monsters wearing a sheepskin jacket scolded angrily: "I can't even watch a girl's film! Catch her!"

Xie Yunlan recognized from his voice that he was the shopkeeper in this group of people. For some reason, he always felt that the shopkeeper looked familiar.

He didn't have time to think about it for a while, he pulled Shen Fan to pull him up from the collapsed hole in the stable, but Shen Fan seemed to be stuck somewhere, so he didn't pull for a while.

The ten wolf-headed monsters had already surrounded them, and some even picked up the machete for chopping wood, and acted rudely. Seeing this, the shopkeeper cursed again: "Don't hurt yourself! It's worthless if your face is broken!"

The guys under him immediately relaxed their hands and feet, trying to capture Xie Yunlan and Shen Fan without hurting them.

This gave Xie Yunlan time, he dealt with these people, and finally found a chance to drag Shen Fan out, and then the two jumped off the courtyard wall together.

After landing, Xie Yunlan dragged Shen Fan and ran away. The wolf-headed monsters chased them out from the back door, shouting and cursing. There were other pedestrians on the street. These people were all normal human beings. Disturbed by their chasing movements, they all looked at this side .

Xie Yunlan ran with all his strength, but he and Shen Fan were only the size of children now, how could these short legs outrun the adults behind them.

Seeing that he was about to be overtaken, Xie Yunlan saw a group of officers and soldiers patrolling the city in front of him. They were the defenders of Yazhou City. He immediately stepped forward and told the defenders that the people behind them were traffickers.

Human traffickers will be severely punished. The defenders immediately stopped these wolf-headed monsters, but after talking for a while, they let each other go.

Xie Yunlan didn't understand what they were saying, only heard words like "Yuanrong people" and "slaves".

He saw that the defenders immediately changed their attitudes after listening to them. Instead of stopping those wolf-headed monsters, they came to help them arrest him and Shen Fan.

The expressions of the surrounding people also changed, from a slight concern at the beginning, to indifference and disgust after seeing his and Shen Fan's faces clearly.

No one helped them. At the same moment when he realized this, Xie Yunlan found that everyone in front of him, those who looked normal just now, had grown thick black hair at this moment, and they all turned into wolf-headed monsters.

Then, these wolf-headed monsters chased them with their mouths drooling.

Xie Yunlan turned around and fled with Shen Fan, but more and more people were chasing them, and the people in the whole city turned into wolf-headed monsters. They chased from the rear, side, front and all directions, and finally surrounded them.

The entire Yazhou City is like a huge cage at the moment, guarded by these wolf-headed monsters, making them nowhere to escape.
