A story must have at least two characters, one a positive character and one a negative character. The positive character wants to achieve his goals, while the villain will set up many obstacles for the positive character in the process. When the positive character overcomes all obstacles, achieves his goal, and realizes his dream, the story will end successfully.
This is the common logic and template for most stories to run. Writers only need to fill it with content to make the story fuller.
Of course, in this process, some ingenuity, accidents, and reversals must be added, such as decorating the cake with a layer of white cream and decorating it with fruits and candies to attract people to buy it.
This is the story written by Yao Feipeng - "Dream"
The protagonist is a 21-year-old college student who went back to his hometown during the summer vacation. His hometown is in a remote border town. There are not many young people under the age of thirty here anymore. They all packed their bags early and rushed to the forefront of the trend of the times, getting lost in a world that did not belong to them. in the world.
Let's give the protagonist a name, just... Xiaoshuai.
Xiaoshuai discovered a crumbling amusement park in the corner of the dilapidated square. The track of the roller coaster was covered with rust. The plastic horses and puppets on the carousel had faded their bright colors. The haunted house sheds were swaying in the wind. The dark entrance looked really scary. A bit of a horror feeling...
As a materialistic young man with higher education, he naturally does not believe in ghosts and gods. So, he boldly walked around in it - and sure enough, there was nothing unusual.
Finally, his eyes once again fell on the dark entrance to the haunted house.
Do you want to go in...
He was a little frightened, but there seemed to be something calling him that he couldn't ignore.
He slowly approached the entrance step by step and turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone to shine inside. However, when he looked at the small shed from the outside, it looked as deep as a bottomless pit from the inside.
After just one glance, he hurriedly exited.
He thought it was just an insignificant episode, but he didn't expect that since that night, he had had strange dreams...
The world in dreams was always deep and dark, just like the haunted house he peered into during the day, which could not be illuminated even with light. There was a man standing upright, wearing black clothes and black trousers, but with a huge white rabbit head. In the distorted space and time, it seemed that this head was the only one left floating in the air.
He was looking at the dreamer with his blood-red eyes.
Xiaoshuai's heart began to beat loudly, and he could clearly feel the surge of blood even in his dream.
The bunny-headed man looked at him for a while, then turned and walked deeper. Xiaoshuai followed him involuntarily and followed the bunny-headed man forward. In dreams, people cannot perceive direction. To be more precise, there is no concept of "direction" here.
They marched "forward" like this until a cave entrance glowing with light blue appeared in front of them.
"What is this place? Where does this hole lead to?" Xiao Shuai asked the bunny-headed man.
The bunny-headed man just blinked his red eyes at him and said nothing. Suddenly, the bunny-headed man squatted down like a quadruped, his arms resting on the ground, looking like a real rabbit.
With a strong push of his hind legs, he jumped half a meter high, jumping up and down like this.
Xiaoshuai was surprised, but not too scared. After all, this was his dream.
At this time, the blue hole changed. It rippled like a layer of lake water, and then a picture appeared...
A middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties was cooking in the kitchen. She picked up a fish with spots and stripes from the bucket and threw it on the chopping board. The fish was not dead yet and was still shaking its head and tail.
"Help me quickly! Help me quickly!"
Xiaoshuai was shocked: "Who is talking?"
"Idiot! It's me! Save me quickly, or I'm going to die soon!"
The woman slapped the fish's head hard with a kitchen knife, and the fish twisted its body reflexively.
"How...how can I save you?" Xiaoshuai asked stammering.
"Stop her, stop her! Make her stop!"
Another heavy blow, the fish seemed unable to move, only its mouth was still opening and closing.
"Stop her quickly!"
"Hurry! Otherwise it's over!"
The shouts of urging made Xiaoshuai panic. He unconsciously approached the entrance of the cave. Unexpectedly, one of them lost his footing and fell in. He suddenly fell on the middle-aged woman, and the two of them fell heavily to the ground. .
The woman was startled by this sudden turn of events and struggled to stand up, but she still had a kitchen knife in her hand and was waving it around, making no one feel at ease after seeing it.
Xiaoshuai subconsciously held the hand holding the kitchen knife and tried to snatch it away. At this time, the woman also woke up, the strength in her hand became a little stronger, and she refused to let go.
In a life-and-death situation, a woman's strength is still no match for a man's, and the kitchen knife is finally taken away by Xiaoshuai.
Just when he was about to speak, the fish regained its vitality. It jumped on the chopping board and said: "Hurry up!"
"Hurry...what to do?"
"Kill her!"
"What!"
"Hit her on the head with a kitchen knife!"
"ah?"
"Hurry! Hurry!! Hurry!!!"
The knife in her hand fell down amidst this unthinkable urging, and the woman fell to the ground in response, but her eyes were still open, she looked just a little dizzy, and she was still breathing with her mouth open, just like the one on the chopping board just now. The same fish.
"Quick! Quick! Next, use a knife to cut open her belly!" The fish spit out a few words every time it jumped.
"Why... why..."
"Of course, make her into a fish!"
"Ah! What do you mean...making her...into a fish?"
"Idiot! Idiot! Why can't you even cook fish!"
"..."
"First cut open her belly and take out everything inside, leaving nothing behind!"
"Then what?"
"Clean! Rinse everything inside and out!"
"But she's too big and can't reach the faucet. Do I need to move her to the bathroom?"
"Idiot! Idiot! How can you be an elm stick! Divide! Divide! You don't need any limbs. How can there be a fish with limbs!"
"But... you are the fish, right?"
"Idiot! Idiot! You are such an elm stick! There is no talking fish! The one who can't talk is the fish!"
Xiao Shuai fixedly looked at the woman lying on the ground. She indeed didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.
"What...then?"
"Did you see that black pot? Put her in the pot to steam her."
"Steam...how long to steam?"
"One year."
"What! It takes so long?"
"Steam until the bones are crispy and the meat is rotten, and steam until it turns into soup!"
"Why……"
"To prevent her from resurrecting..."
"She is completely dead... By the way, who is she... and who are you?"
"She is a fish..."
"how about you?"
"Idiot, couldn't you guess?" Those dull fish eyes turned red, and his mouth opened and closed, taunting him unceremoniously.
After dreaming here, Xiaoshuai woke up and woke up from this sticky dream within a dream. His body felt wet and soft, as if the dripping rain from last night had drifted in from the window and soaked his sheets and quilt.
…
"The beginning is good, but I have to say one thing. Why is the male protagonist called Xiaoshuai, and the female protagonist? She can't be called Xiaomei, right? Do you know how many Xiaoshuai and Xiaomei there are on the Internet now!"
"I'm sorry, I'm really not good at naming..."
"Xiao Zhao, Xiao Qian, Xiao Sun, Xiao Li, if you look through the hundreds of surnames and choose one at random, it would be a hundred times better than Xiao Shuai!"
"Hey, that's a good way to name it..."
"When I first saw these two words, I almost suffered from PTSD, and I didn't even like the whole story that followed. It can be said that even if it was a good story, it was instantly ruined by these two words. ”
"Ah... maybe this is the magic power of 'Xiao Shuai'..."
"You... said that... it seems good... it seems to have some meaning...".
"It's a pleasure to receive your feedback after reading. This is the wish of all writers."
"I can't wait to see what happens next."
