Chapter 40: The Dream Returns: The Beginning of the Beginning

Yu Zhe had a long, long dream.

In the dream, he stood in the darkness, he wanted to shout, but he couldn't make a sound, and there was no light around him, no matter how much he ran, it was useless, and he could never touch the end of this darkness.

A trace of despair rose in his heart, he didn't know where to go, he didn't know how to get out of this terrible place, he could only stand helplessly, hoping for a miracle.

I don't know how long it took, suddenly, a bright light like a firefly appeared in front of Yu Zhe's eyes, he wanted to reach out to grab it, but he couldn't touch it anyway, the light seemed to be close at hand, but in fact it seemed to be far away.

Seeing hope, he ran straight towards the light, which was always out of reach, only a small point, as if it would disappear in the next second.

Yu Zhe ran tirelessly, and he didn't know how long it took, but he finally saw the light expand little by little, and within a moment, half of the darkness was swallowed.

He opened his hands and embraced the light in front of him, and instantly felt a warmth on his body, and his eyes were pierced by the strong light, but soon the light faded, and he slowly opened his eyes.

The scene had changed before him, and he now seemed to be standing in the living room of a house.

The decoration of this house is very warm, the walls are painted bright yellow, the room is full of all kinds of handmade knick-knacks, all in groups of three, neatly placed in all corners of the room, the wall opposite the sofa, inlaid with a 50-inch LCD TV, on the low table under the TV, there is the only photo in the whole room.

The picture is about a couple and their son, and the three people in the photo are all smiling like sunshine and looking happy and happy.

Yu Zhe's eyes widened, but he couldn't see the appearance of the three people in the photo clearly, he wanted to walk in a little bit to see it clearly, and found that he couldn't open his legs at all, as soon as he looked down and found that he was sitting on a chair, and when he looked up, the scene in front of him changed again.

Judging from the decoration style, it should still be the same house, but now he seems to be in the dining room, he looks forward, and just opposite him, there is a man sitting reading a newspaper, but the man's face is blocked by the newspaper, and he can't see his appearance.

To the left, there is the western kitchen of the room, and a woman in an apron is humming a ditty tune, her back to him busy in the kitchen.

"Where is this? Who are these two people. Yu Zhe only felt that everything around him was very familiar, as if it was something he had buried in the depths of his memory, but he couldn't remember it at all.

"Yu Zhe, if you don't eat breakfast, it's going to be cold. The woman cleaned up the kitchen and turned around with a smile in a voice like a silver bell.

The moment Yu Zhe saw the woman's appearance, his whole body seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he was full of excitement, and then shouted softly in a trembling and almost crying voice: "Mom......"

"How is this possible......" Yu Zhe's heart was full of excitement and shock, his mother Ji Xian obviously passed away a long time ago, thinking of this, he hurriedly looked down, sure enough, it was no longer his original body, replaced by a thin body in a junior high school uniform.

"It's a dream...... Yu Zhe looked at everything illusory in front of him, and his heart was a feeling of joy and sorrow that he couldn't tell, and his memory began to slowly wake up.

"Yu Zhe, don't be stunned, hurry up and go to school after eating. The man sitting opposite Yu Zhe put down the newspaper, his resolute face was full of seriousness, but his voice contained love.

This person is naturally Yu Zhe's father, Yu Guozheng.

Yu Zhe vaguely remembers that when he was young, his father's profession had always been a mystery, he said that he was a policeman, but he did not say a word about what he did, and often traveled, for a few days, more than a few months, and several times even came back with injuries.

Yu Zhe's body moved involuntarily, the chopsticks picked up the food in the bowl and put it into his mouth, although he knew that it was a dream, but the touch of the food was extremely real, he raised his head, and even his mouth began to speak without being called.

"Dad, will you send me to school today?" his voice seemed very childish, it seemed to be a real morning he remembered, but he didn't remember what happened after that, after all, it took him a long, long time to forget these memories back then.

"No, I'm going on a business trip today, I'll leave after breakfast, and I may not be back in ten days. After speaking, Yu Guozheng picked up the bowl, hurriedly put the breakfast into his mouth, wiped it directly with his hand, kissed Ji Xian goodbye, and then picked up his coat and walked towards the door.

"Can't let him go out!" A voice echoed repeatedly in Yu Zhe's brain, and an emotion called uneasiness gradually rose in his heart, he opened his mouth to remind Yu Guozheng, but as soon as he spit out, it became.

"Goodbye, safe journey. ”

When Yu Guozheng heard it, he turned around and smiled, waved his hand and replied lightly, "Goodbye, wait for me to come back." He turned and opened the door, and stepped into a blinding light.

"Don't go!" Yu Zhe finally shouted out of control, and the whole person flew in the direction of the door, trying to hold Yu Guozheng, but in the blink of an eye, the scene in the room changed again.

This time he was standing in a smaller room, the whole space was filled with a cozy blue, the soft bed, the quilt was neatly folded, the bookcase was full of comics, novels and all kinds of model toys, the whole room was fully decorated, but everything was kept in good order, and it did not look messy.

Yu Zhe remembered that this was his room back then, and while his body was still free to move, he gently brushed every piece of furniture in the room, which was full of his memories.

Looking at it, Yu Zhe's hand stayed on an electronic clock on the desk, there was nothing special about this thing, but the time on it caught Yu Zhe's attention.

"November 3...... At night...... 6:58 a.m. ......"

Restlessness, sadness, pain...... All sorts of emotions hit his heart, and he remembered that it was today that he learned the news that his father would never return.

"Knock knock. The expected knock on the door sounded, and Yu Zhe couldn't help but react, and his body began to move uncontrollably again, walking straight out of the room.

Outside the room is the living room, Yu Zhe's mother Ji Xian has already opened the door, and there are two men in police uniforms standing outside the door, raising their hands to show their documents to Ji Xian.

"Hello, is this Ms. Ji Xian? We are your husband Yu Guozheng's colleagues. The two policemen looked at each other and were silent for a moment before one of them spoke slowly.

"It turned out to be a colleague of Guozheng. Ji Xian had a kind smile on his face, and hurriedly invited the two people outside the door into the house, "Guozheng hasn't come back from a business trip yet, you guys come and sit down first, I'll make you a cup of tea." ”

A policeman wanted to say something, but was stopped by another person, who had to shut up temporarily and follow Ji Xian into the door.

The two sat on the sofa and were silent, but their expressions looked like pins and needles, and they muttered a few words in a low voice while Ji Xian was boiling water, but finally sighed helplessly.

Yu Zhe retained consciousness and let his body move around on his own, he came to the living room, took the teacup in Ji Xian's hand, and handed it to the two policemen.

"Are you...... Yu Zhe, right?" asked a policeman, no emotion in his eyes.

Yu Zhe nodded and did not answer.

"I heard Yu Guozheng mention you, you look like each other. The policeman frowned, but the corners of his mouth had to put on a smile, which looked rather strange.

Ji Xian also came over, brought the washed fruit, and thoughtfully entertained the guests, the two policemen saw this, and hurriedly said that there was no need to bother, and brought her to the sofa and asked her to sit down.

"Madame...... We are here to tell you......" A policeman opened his mouth, but did not spit out a word, repeatedly organized the language, and finally said in the most subtle voice, "Yu Guozheng is him...... sacrificed. ”

"Huh?" Ji Xian was very shocked, almost fainted after hearing the news, and Yu Zhe, who was standing behind her, also showed an expression of disbelief, but this was just his body's own reaction, after all, he already knew the news.

"Madame...... Yu Guozheng may not have told you that he is an anti-narcotics policeman who went out on a mission a few days ago...... There was a fierce shootout with drug dealers, including Yu Guozheng, and a total of three policemen were killed...... His body is now stored in the funeral home, you can go and see it tomorrow, and then he will be buried in the martyrs' cemetery, but for safety, no tombstone can be erected for him......"

Ji Xian held back her tears, her voice was weak and trembling, and she just said to the two policemen: "I know, thank you for telling me this." ”

After speaking, the two policemen got up to say goodbye, they couldn't bear to see the sad appearance of their families.

As soon as the outsiders left, Ji Xian hid her face and cried bitterly, crying to death, Yu Zhe hugged her, but thousands of comforting words were blocked in her mouth, unable to speak, after all, this body is completely uncontrollable now.

The scene in front of him began to flash back quickly, home, funeral home, martyr's cemetery, he looked at everything in front of him blankly, after all, the tears that should have been shed had dried up fifteen years ago, but he still felt pain in his heart, he hoped that he could quickly leave this nightmare, he really didn't want to be forced to recall.

He closed his eyes, trying to drive everything out of his mind, hoping to return to the real world, but he failed, the voice in his ears gradually cleared, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was still the same home fifteen years ago.

I don't know how long the time span is this time, Yu Zhe only feels that the family is already in chaos, he remembers that after learning the news of his father's sacrifice, his mother turned gray almost overnight and looked a lot older.

Yu Zhe searched left and right, and found that Ji Xian was watching TV on the sofa in the living room at this time, with an expressionless face and empty eyes.

The TV hostess still had a sweet smile on her face, and it was customary to start broadcasting the day's news after saying a few years of dates.

"Wait......" Yu Zhe was suddenly shocked, "Today...... It's November...... No. 9 ......"
