I Found a Ranch Inside the Cosmic Boundary

Xiao Ming often heard the old saying:

“Yin cannot exist alone, nor can yang thrive on its own. When yin and yang are out of balance, one's essence is depleted and the spirit perishes.”

For the past few days, Xiao Ming had been pondering a childish question:

Are dreams real or not?

Why is it that when things from real life appear in dreams,

the key details always change?

Xiao Ming knew it was foolish to think about such things,

but whenever his mind grew still,

his thoughts would keep circling back

to this simple, stupid question.

He shook his somewhat foggy head.

In a vast, open wilderness on the plains,

Xiao Ming wore clothes unsuited to the surroundings: a short-sleeved shirt, beach shorts, and no shoes.

At least the ground was soft.
