This is the first time Lin Xiuze has gone out in so long.

The heat of the summer afternoon enveloped him, and his eyes were pierced by the golden scorching sun of the buildings, and he took a taxi to the Yiyu Psychotherapy Clinic without stopping.

Under Dr. Shen's hypnosis, he entered the world of dreams, but nothing was gained, and he woke up still confused.

"I can now feel that the world in my dreams is a real place, or a place where the real world affects us.

You see, Gu Zhifeng's paintings, Jian Yuyu's diary, including the same dream I had,

Moreover, Jian Yuyu and Gu Zhifeng have also met each other in their dreams, and they have also met me separately!

Dr. Shen, can you believe it? Is this just a coincidence or an inevitability? Does this have anything to do with long-term causes?"

Lin Xiuze's sunken cheeks and empty eyes made him look desperate.

"You can't find the answer in your dreams, just like when we dream about an exam, we know everything, but when we wake up, we can't solve a single question, what is the reason?" said Dr. Shen.

Lin Xiuze looked at Dr. Shen with a puzzled face.

"If you want to know the secrets of your dreams, you have to think of it as your real world, and the social environment you are in now as a dream. At that time, you will see clearly what is going on in that world that led to this result. ”

"Then what can I do to turn the world in my dreams into a real world?"

"Let go of everything, forget everything. ”

......

He walked out of the meaning and walked aimlessly with Gu Zhifeng's manuscript and painting book.

Sweat was wet and dry and wet, and after walking for I don't know how long, he came to the Catalpa Forest, where he and Changin first met.

The catalpa forests looked even more desolate under the scorching sun, and the white-dried riverbed exposed the cracked surface, and the large and small stones were scattered in the river, and a thin river flowed listlessly around the rocks......

Lin Xiuze picked up a shabby straw hat on the riverbed, put it on his head, went to the middle of the current, found a stone that was almost soaked by water and was ready to dry, sat down, took off his shoes and soaked his feet in the water, and the small fish and shrimp in the water visited his toes from time to time......

......

"Excuse me, how to get to the catalpa forest. ”

Lin Xiuze didn't find any catalpa woods when he turned around, and saw a girl sketching by the river from a distance, so he hurriedly ran over and asked.

The sketching girl is turning her head, her long curly hair is scattered over her shoulders, she is wearing a loose plaid shirt in earth tones and some whitish jeans, the thick and delicate two sword eyebrows exude a rare handsomeness of a girl, big round eyes like a cat, flashing with a smart and alert light, and her dark brown pupils are cast on Lin Xiuze, who is smiling.

The girl brushed the long hair that had fallen to her face with her hand, but she forgot the watercolor pen in her hand, so the brush poked into her face, and a lump of green paint stuck to her fair cheeks.

Lin Xiuze couldn't help laughing.

The girl didn't care at all, and said to Lin Xiuze with a big face:

"Foot!"

Lin Xiuze thought that he had stepped on something from her, and hurriedly jumped away to give way, but unexpectedly the girl laughed:

"I've never seen anything so stupid. ”

"What do you say, I'll ask you for directions, if you don't say it, forget it, why are you scolding!"

Lin Xiuze frowned and said, I don't want to see that you are a girl, I would have to reason with you a long time ago.

"I told you, under your feet! The land under your feet is called the Catalpa Forest!" said the girl.

"I'll take a! Who took this name, it's so improper, let's cheat on my father!" Lin Xiuze looked left and right, this bare place was actually called Catalpa Forest, incredible.

"Who said that catalpa forests have to have trees?" the girl retorted.

"Of course, a man is called a man, water is called water, a stone is called a stone, and a man is called a man and a woman. Of course there must be trees in the woods!" Then he saw a moth suddenly fly out of the grass, and said,

"Moths are called moths, is it possible to call moths adults and people moths?" Lin Xiuze did not show weakness, he thought to himself, you don't know what major I am studying, dare to play tricks with me here.

"Haha, you're quite eloquent, but it's a pity that you're shallow, how do you know that people can't be moths and moths, how do you know that men are not women and women are not men, you don't know, so you don't know that this catalpa forest can have no trees, and this river can also have no water. ”

The girl was sharp and sharp, and she didn't stop breathing, and she stunned Lin Xiuze like saying a tongue twister. I had to take the gesture that I was always a few years older than you and said:

"You little girls, you know how to be poor, let me ask you, aren't you afraid of meeting bad people when your little girl's family comes to paint in such a remote place?"

"You've said it's remote, that's where no one comes, since no one comes where the bad guys come from, besides, even if there are bad guys, who has done it doesn't know. The girl said with a disdainful expression.

"Don't look at you, you're not necessarily my opponent. ”

"Who, who wants to do it with you, you, you little girl is really unreasonable, the gentleman doesn't do anything, and I, a big man, won't do anything with a little girl like you. Lin Xiuze anxiously defended, feeling that he had stabbed a hornet's nest, and he couldn't clean it up and was about to be stung.

The girl was downright and generous, stood up and tilted her head and smiled slightly, showing her white and neat teeth, and stretched out her hand and said:

"Haha, I'm not poor, I'm not poor, my name is Gongyu Changyin, what about you?"

Lin Xiuze saw that the girl gave the steps down, and immediately stretched out his hand to shake it.

"Lin Xiuze. He said.

This was the scene where they met for the first time, and the bare river, the place called Catalpa Grove, was the place where they first met.

He also remembered the scene where he and Gongyu Chang came here to take pictures on their annual anniversary.

"I wonder what will happen here next year?" said Gongyu Changyin.

"What else, is there really a forest growing in this bare place?" Lin Xiuze said with a smile.

The past is vivid, but things are wrong, Lin Xiuze couldn't help but cry.

"How do you know that people are not moths and moths are not people, even if I knew that you were moths in the morning, how could I bear not to love you. Lin Xiuze said silently.

"Are you a human, a ghost, a moth, or a demon, so what, you came out for me, didn't you say that you want to be together well and grow old slowly, are you scared or don't you dare!" Lin Xiuze snorted and looked confused.

He wanted to go crazy and look for the footprints of Gongyu Changyin, the places she had been, the words she had said, the things she had done, everything was as close as what happened yesterday, but the distance between him and her was a distant distance between life and death,

No, there is no news between life and death, and I have never even seen it in my dreams.

It was dark before he went upstairs in a daze, rang the doorbell, but it was Gongyu Jinliang who came out to open the door, and she had unknowingly come to Gongyu Changyin's parents' house.

Gongyu Jinliang let Lin Xiuze into the house, Liang Mingshan also came over to say hello, the aunt in the kitchen was making dinner, Liang Mingshan whispered to the aunt to cook more meals for one person. Lin Xiuze's red and swollen eyes and gloomy face were gloomy and depressed, and the three of them sat on the sofa relatively speechless, only hearing the sound of chopping vegetables and cooking and stir-frying vegetables from the kitchen.

The three of them sat at the dinner table, Lin Xiuze didn't eat the rice, and sat with Changyin's parents, and they hurriedly withdrew the meal without eating much. For a long time, Lin Xiuze raised his eyes and looked at Gongyu Jinliang and Liang Mingshan, and said in a hoarse voice: "Dad, Mom, don't dislike Chang Yuan, she must have some kind of disease, not a monster." ”

Liang Mingshan lowered his head and sobbed quietly, Gongyu Jinliang stretched out his hand and slowly patted Lin Xiuze's shoulder and said:

"Xiu Ze, forget the long cause, just as if she never came, you are still young. ”

Lin Xiuze turned tears in his eyes, shook his head and said to himself:

"If it's so easy to forget, why should I fall in love with her in the first place?"
