Chapter 228: Nightmare
Sure enough, without Li Qiang's guess, Li Qiang felt a tingling itch all over his body, and then there was a crackling sound in his ears, as if it was the movement of broken bones.
It turned out to be on Li Qiang's chest, stretching out an emerald green shoot. He was stretching his waist and digging out of the dirt.
At this moment, Li Qiang was buried in the soil, but Li Qiang seemed to be floating in the air, just looking down at everything that happened in front of him, watching Li Qiang himself buried in the soil, and being watered by the middle-aged woman, and finally germinated.
The two halves of the shoots broke through the soil and grew rapidly, and soon became two purple leaves, the leaves stretched, gradually grew, and in a moment's effort, they became the size of a palm, and cracked a few days in the middle, and really became the shape of a palm.
The palms of the two hands spread out opposite each other, and a round, fruit-like thing protruded from the middle. The thing was also growing rapidly, and slowly took on a special shape, that is, it looked like a child in two or three minutes.
The child was also purple, the size of a palm, and looked like a baby, motionless, as if he had fallen asleep.
The middle-aged woman bent down, stretched out her hands, and plucked the child from between the two palm-like leaves. The child came alive and squirmed in her hands.
And the two palms that held it withered instantly, and finally dried, crushed, fell to the ground, and turned into powder.
Li Qiang's perspective suddenly returned to the dirt, and after the shoot that grew out of his chest was shattered, Li Qiang felt a burst of depression in his chest, as if there was a huge stone blocked in his throat, and he couldn't swallow it or spit it out. Li Qiang couldn't breathe, his face was flushed, he couldn't bear it, and he screamed out.
When I woke up, it turned out that Li Qiang was still lying on the table in the restaurant.
There were cups and plates on the table, but Mr. Bai was not there.
Recalling everything in the dream just now, Li Qiang's heart was still beating wildly. Although it wasn't true, it still made Li Qiang feel depressed after waking up.
Li Qiang pondered everything in the dream, Li Qiang did this kind of dream, and he always felt that it was portending something. Li Qiang himself was buried in the soil as a seed, gave birth to another baby, and then Li Qiang withered himself, does it mean that Li Qiang wants to break the ground and be reborn?
Recalling the time of drinking, Mr. Bai said that the one who could guide Li Qiang to learn to manipulate the dream was the woman who manipulated the ghost in front of the garment factory, and he felt that the woman in the dream was indeed very similar to the woman.
This is all Li Qiang's random speculation, Li Qiang got up and looked at the door of the store. The door has a deadbolt on the inside, and it seems that it has never been opened, but Mr. Bai, where did he go?
Looking for, listening to each other's back bedroom, there was a burst of snoring, it turned out that the old boy ran to Li Qiang's bedroom to sleep, Li Qiang hurriedly pushed the door in, sure enough, he lay on his side, rolled Li Qiang's quilt into a ball, rode with his legs, the boss with his mouth open, the corner of his mouth flowed out of the horn, on Li Qiang's quilt, a piece of wet.
Seeing his sloppy and disgusting clothes, Li Qiang's anger didn't come to a place. Reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling him back hard. After several pulls, he didn't have the slightest intention of waking up.
Look at the sky outside, it has just dawned, Li Qiang, you are already sleepy, and you can't wake him up, so you just let him go. Turn around and go to clean up the dishes and chopsticks in front of you.
I had just taken away two rice bowls when I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
The sound was not loud, but in the quiet early hours of the morning, it was clearly heard.
After only a few knocks, he stopped, but the man did not leave, as if he had put his face on the door, and Li Qiang could even clearly hear the sound of him snoring and panting.
Li Qiang hurriedly came to the door and looked outside through the crack in the door. Someone did stick to the door and blocked the crack in the door, so Li Qiang couldn't see the situation outside.
He knocked on the door again, sounding rather urgent, Li Qiang hurriedly pulled the deadbolt and opened the door.
There was a woman standing at the door, slightly chubby, who looked familiar and recognized it at once, it was the proprietress of the pie shop.
After she had the dream of a garment factory fire, she closed the shop and disappeared completely. But in such an early morning, he appeared at the door of Li Qiang's store. Li Qiang was shocked, I don't know what happened to her.
Looking her up and down, I found that she was much thinner than before. His face was pale, and his eyes were full of fear, as if something terrible had happened.
As soon as he entered the door, he popped and knelt in front of Li Qiang. grabbed Li Qiang's arm with both hands, and before he spoke, he cried with a whimper.
This time she came out, Li Qiang was at a loss, and he didn't know what was going on.
"Immortal, didn't you say that you want to help Li Qiang get rid of Li Qiang's nightmare? Please, hurry up...... Hurry up......"
Li Qiang quickly pulled her up, sat her down, and brought her a cup of hot water, let her drink it, and stabilize her mind before talking.
She drank it and cried for a while, and then told Li Qiang about what happened after she closed the door of the store and disappeared that day.
It turned out that she was a relative of the owner of the original garment factory, and opened a pie shop opposite the garment factory, mainly to entertain the workers in the factory. After a long time, I became very familiar with those workers.
Later, when something happened to the factory, she moved the store and reopened one in the south of Fuxin City.
It has been very quiet in the past few years, but just a few days ago, she always dreamed of the scene when the factory was burned, and she could always see the miserable situation of those workers being charred in her dreams. It kept her awake at night. Later, I met Li Qiang, who looked like a master, and was full of joy waiting for Li Qiang to come back and take away her nightmare, but I never expected that on the night of the same day, the door of his shop was locked from the outside, and a pile of paper was lit at the door.
Although it didn't cause a fire, it scared the proprietress a lot. The scene of the fire has been floating in front of his eyes, and he clearly remembers that someone locked the door of the factory with a big lock.
So after the fire, the people in the factory didn't have time to escape, and they were all burned inside.
He knew the whole thing, because she was in the pie shop room at the time, and she could see the outside things clearly.
So he was very worried, worried that he knew too much and would be killed and killed. So he fled through the back door overnight, ran back to his hometown and never dared to come back.
Her hometown is in Furong Town, fifty or sixty miles away from Fuxin City, and she thought that after leaving that place of right and wrong, this matter would slowly pass. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, she got up at night to go to the thatched house, only to find that a bus was coming from the west and was stopping at the door of his house.
A group of people got out of the bus, all of them wearing red and blue overalls, all with dull eyes and expressionless faces standing at the gate of her house......
She recognized them at a glance, these were the workers of the factory, and she had seen them trapped in the building, burned alive. In fact, she wanted to open the door of the building and rescue them at that time, but she was too cowardly, so she didn't dare. It's also because the fire is too big to get close.
She was so frightened that she urinated in her pants, and quickly ran back to the house with her head in her arms, but those ghosts appeared in her room, her room was not big, and those ghosts were huddled together, looking at her like just now.
She was frightened and hurried out of the yard again, but wherever she went, the ghosts followed her, and as soon as she stopped, she could see the cold, empty gaze.
She was almost scared to death, and when she ran to the entrance of the village, it happened that a large truck pulling goods was parked on the side of the road, and the driver was smoking. She didn't hesitate, so she climbed into the car and begged the driver to take her away.
Fortunately, the driver was warm-hearted and took her out of the village, and asked her what was wrong on the way, and she told her what had happened just now, and the driver pointed out to her, saying that the owner of the Chaoyang Temple Hotel could help her. After describing it carefully, she remembered that Li Qiang had eaten in her restaurant and said that he would help her get rid of her nightmares.
The driver parked the car at the door of the hotel and left, and then she trembled and knocked on the door to ask Li Qiang for help.
After listening to her story, Li Qiang wondered which driver knew that Li Qiang could help her, and carefully asked her about the driver's appearance and the situation of the big truck.
Li Qiang frowned and pondered, and sure enough, as Li Qiang expected, the driver should be the ghost of the dead Li Zongfei.
Of course, Li Qiang didn't tell her that he came here in a ghost car, she was already scared, and she would definitely not be able to withstand such a fright anymore.
Li Qiang asked her to sit down, turned back to the kitchen at the back, and gave her a bowl of rice and soul soup, she had been plagued by nightmares, because she had experienced that tragic scene back then, so she left a shadow in her heart. In fact, last time, Li Qiang planned to give her a bowl of suspicious soul soup in exchange for her nightmare, but by mistake, it was delayed until now.
She looked at the bowl of soup with a puzzled expression, and finally drank it.
"This soup...... Somewhat...... Bitter ......"
As soon as she finished speaking, she tilted her head and fell asleep on the table. Li Qiang picked up the soup bowl and looked down, and there was indeed a cloud of black smoke in the bowl. This was her nightmare.
Li Qiang took out the small gourd that had been prepared from his arms, opened the lid, held it with one hand, and the mouth of the gourd was obliquely downward, aiming at the soup bowl. The smoke fluttered up in wisps, circled twice in mid-air, and finally got into the small gourd.
Finally received another nightmare, Li Qiang carefully took the little gourd containing the nightmare to the back kitchen and placed it on the shelf.
