Chapter Ninety-Three: Old Dreams 1
In this daze, unconsciously, the day passed like this.
The next day, Tong Yao's daze continued.
However, this day is not without any gain, at least the broadband master has done a good job for the two of them.
After having the Internet, Tong Yao couldn't wait to open the starting Chinese network, first checked the various categories, and then found a few books on the best-selling list to read.
However, it may be the cause of upset, and I can't read each book after opening it for a few minutes.
And just like that, the day passed again.
For seven or eight days in a row, she couldn't calm down, her mentality became worse and worse, she suffered from gains and losses, and she was always worried that she would continue to hit the street if she opened a new book, so she didn't dare to write easily.
She is now under more pressure than school, and now she is not just writing books to make money, but writing books to support herself, even if she doesn't eat or drink, the rent, utilities, and Internet bills will have to cost money.
During this period, Zheng Jia also talked to her several times, but she could only rely on herself for this kind of thing.
On August 24, Tong Yao went home, took some changes of clothes, and stayed with her mother for two days, mainly to tell her mother about her situation.
Of course, this time, as before, it is still good news and not bad news.
She told her mother that she is now sharing a room with her roommate, and the two of them are writing novels together, and the manuscript fee is okay, which is enough to support herself, so that her mother can rest assured, and she will say that she has not enough money.
Chen Huizhen smiled and nodded, but when she left, she still secretly stuffed five hundred yuan into Tong Yao's canvas bag full of steamed buns.
When she left home, she was fine, but when she arrived at the rental house, Tong Yao sneezed, and then she began to have a runny nose.
She felt as if she had caught a cold......
At night, she drank a glass of boiling water and lay down, feeling hot all over, afraid of affecting Zheng Jia, so she gritted her teeth and endured it.
In a daze, I don't know if I'm dreaming or waking.
She felt as if she had woken up in the middle of her sleep, and then she couldn't get out of the room, and the door was locked from the outside, and she couldn't pull it open.
Zheng Jia was also not there, and she began to be a little scared......
Then I heard the door creak, and someone pushed it open from the outside, and a strange and familiar woman skillfully entered the room, and then turned and closed the door.
"You, you...... Who are you?"
Tong Yao was sure that she didn't know the other party, but she felt that this person was too familiar, she thought about it for a long time, and finally almost screamed.
"Are you Tong Yao, the woman who wrote novels in her dreams?"
I don't know how long I haven't dreamed of this woman, she doesn't know why she dreamed of each other again today, no, strictly speaking, she feels that she can't tell whether it's in reality or in a dream.
Because the sun was shining during the day, and the weather in August was very hot, she was sweating profusely, and the feeling was so real that it didn't feel like a dream......
When the woman came in, she stood at the door, looking at her quietly, and she was covered in hair.
"You...... What are you going to do? ...... Who the hell are you?
Tong Yao asked, she was already a little scared, and the other party slowly spoke at this time, but the voice was completely different from her, which also made her sure that the other party was not her.
"I'm a human, I'm a ghost, and I'm your ......"
"Huh? what...... What do you mean?"
The other party's words made Tong Yao inexplicable, what does it mean to be a human being, a ghost and oneself?
"I used to be human, and then I committed suicide by jumping into the river, so I should be a ghost now. But don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, and I didn't mean to pester you, you may not believe it, but I haven't figured out this situation myself......"
The woman was a little dazed, looked at her surroundings, and showed a wry smile.
"I only remember the last time I committed suicide by jumping into the river, but I don't remember it later, I should have died, and as for how I came to you, I don't know, by the way, are you a human or a ghost?
Seeing that the other party did not act excessively, Tong Yao swallowed his saliva and strengthened his courage slightly.
"Of course I'm human, this is the house I just rented, by the way, I used to dream of you every day, why didn't I dream about you after I went to college and started writing novels, and why did you suddenly appear again this time? Also, I have a lot of questions, why in my dreams I see some things can be found in my world, but some can't be found, such as Taotao shopping, I also have this world, but it is different from the time I saw in my dreams. And the website where you wrote the novel, and your identity information, I can't find it at all.
Also, why can't you see me and can't talk to me when you dreamed of you before, but now you can see me and communicate with me?"
The woman showed a thoughtful expression, but she also seemed to be a little puzzled, and after a long time, she didn't answer any questions, but asked Tong Yao a question.
"What time is it?"
"Now...... It should be the middle of the night...... Uh......"
Tong Yao remembered that she seemed to have fallen asleep with a cold, and thought it was the middle of the night, but it was sunny outside, so she could only look at the clock on the wall.
"It's half past one ...... p.m."
The woman shook her head.
"No, I'm asking...... What year, month, and day is it?"
"Oh, this year is August 26, 2006...... What's wrong?"
The woman was silent, then frowned and shook her head.
"Impossible......"
"What can't be?"
"I just graduated in 2006, and I died in 2021, so why is it 2006 now......? Why are you also called Tong Yao? Are you me in 2006? But why is it different from me before...... I don't have a friend named Zheng Jia, nor a friend named Xunuo, and I don't live in Yangshu Village......"
Seeing her talking to herself, Tong Yao couldn't help but ask.
"What are you talking about?"
The woman raised her head and sighed, then frowned again, shook her head and replied.
"I'm thinking...... What the hell is going on here? ”
"Do you figure it out?"
The woman shook her head.
"I don't understand, but I've read a lot of online novels, and some books have written in the past that there are actually many unknown parallel worlds outside of the world we know, and these worlds are similar to our world, but not exactly the same. I think maybe my ghost has come to a parallel world......"
"It's sci-fi, right? I think...... Maybe I'm dreaming again, and when I wake up you're gone, just like countless times before. To put it in scientific terms, it is possible that it is because of some kind of energy of yours and I can attract each other across time and space, so I can dream of you in some special situation.
It's like the principle of a mirage, and what I see now may not be your ghost, but a remnant of your mind. ”
