Chapter Twenty-Four: What Happened to Old Man Shi

Today's dinner I want to change the way of eating, wash the electric stove and iron pot that I just found a few days ago, and prepare to make a tomato egg noodle, the tomatoes are washed, and I was just about to beat the eggs, when I heard an old voice calling me at the door:

"Yang Ming. ”

I looked up like an electric shock.

"Brother Shi, are you Brother Shi?"

Seeing an old man standing at the door, I didn't dare to confirm it, so I stepped to the door in two steps and took a closer look.

"Brother Shi, what's wrong with you?" I asked, holding Brother Shi's arms tightly with my two big hands.

In front of me, Brother Shi was obviously more than ten years older than what I saw yesterday, the wrinkles on his face had turned into deep wrinkles, his hair had turned gray, and his dry eyes were staring at me tightly.

"Yang Ming, do you know the future?"

Brother Shi didn't answer me, but asked about this straight to the point.

"I know, I know the future! You are also my brother Shi in eighteen years!" I seemed to understand everything.

"Yes......" Brother Shi whimpered and couldn't say any more, his hands also grabbed my arm tightly, we seemed to be unable to control the depression and excitement in our hearts anymore, hugging our heads and crying together.

We all know that it was not easy during that time, we have common hardships, we have the same unfulfilled wishes, we used to be close to each other as a family, and treat each other as family. There is more common national hatred and family hatred!

We calmed down a little and let Brother Shi sit on the old wooden chair, and I sat on the edge of the bed.

"Yang Ming, how much do you know about the future?" asked Brother Shi looking at me expectantly.

"Everything, until it was drugged. I said hatefully. Brother, do you know everything in the future?

Hearing my answer, Brother Shi's face had a hint of surprise, and then he said gloomily: "In my dream, I only have the memory of the year I was drugged eighteen years later, and the memory from August 1st of last year to the end of August this year. ”

Isn't it different from me, my dreams are very clear from the beginning to the end.

But why has Brother Shi become so old?"Brother, what happened in the past two days, why do you look so old?"

At this time, Brother Shi began to fall into a ...... of contemplation.

I poured a cup of boiling water and handed it to Brother Shi, who woke up from his contemplation and took a sip of water slowly before saying, "This is the eighteenth time I have experienced it this year. ”

"Ahh I opened my mouth wide in surprise.

Brother Shi nodded and said, "Yes, it's true! These eighteen reincarnations, I am too tired, there is no beginning, let alone an end. Again and again, again and again, disappointed. ”

"Don't worry, brother, tell me slowly,"

"Well, well," Brother Shi began to sink into the past....

"Every time I woke up on the morning of August 1, 1994, I had these two memories, but the rest of the memories were blank. Every time, I will sell the house in my hometown and come to Southwest City to find you. But none of the three of you knew me, and in the end you simply thought I was mentally ill. ”

"Brother, at that time, you can use the stock trend to verify that what you said is true. I interrupted Brother Shi and interjected.

"Well, I did verify it with stocks, but as you start to believe me, the time for me to disappear is approaching. Each time, he disappeared from a certain sleep at the end of August 1995. When I woke up, it was August 1, 1994. These eighteen years have been spent in this way.

After several reincarnations, I was also tired.

But I will still sell my house and come here to find you, waiting for you.

But I'm not going to tell you my memory.

It is also at this time, when I feel that I am rapidly aging, that I will hand over my funds to you.

But this time you are different from the original seventeen times, and I have found that your awakening is clearer and more purposeful than mine.

When I felt hope, I was still in a period of rapid aging!"

After listening to Brother Shi's words, my mood couldn't calm down for a long time......!

What makes me sad is that the brother I just met is about to be separated again, and I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again.

And when will I disappear, and will I have the same fate as my brother? Where are we now, in that space, is this just a memory in our sleep?

No, by no means, it's real here, and it's real in dreams.

I can't admit that it's illusory, and I can't admit it. For there are my dearest people on both sides, and these are things that I cannot give up. ’

"Brother Shi, maybe we won't repeat the mistakes of the past this time, maybe because of my awakening, we will get through this difficult time safely. ”

"If I leave, you must take them out with you, back to that place, and not let the robbers get their way. "Now do what I say, don't tell Sun Hu and Lao Guo about my affairs.

I used to transfer the money from my account to your account on Tuesday, and I'll be up to you from now on. ”

"Don't turn to my brother yet, you will live with me from now on, I will watch you and never let you leave us. I looked at Brother Shi and said firmly!

"It's useless, I've tried everything, and in the last time I just want to sleep quietly by myself, I'm too tired to wake up again. Brother Shi said tiredly!

"I heard Sun Monkey say that you want to participate in the stock trading competition, just this money can be used, this is not your stage, you need to go further to achieve your goal. ”

I got up and silently turned on the electric stove, cut the cleaned tomatoes into pieces, and I wanted to make a bowl of noodles for my old brother Shi. I want to have a meal together.

This is the first positive contact with Brother Shi in this period of time, but this is also about to part.

Although there is no oil to wok, no foil for various spices, but the two of us have eaten a lot, and eat very happily, Brother Shi said that this is the best and most reassuring meal he has eaten since entering this world.

On the way to send Brother Shi, I talked to Brother Shi about our experience in the next 18 years, the ups and downs and the joy of harvest, which made Brother Shi sometimes happy and sometimes sad.

Brother Shi still didn't let me send him home, he insisted on going by himself.

"We'll see you on Tuesday. ”

After Brother Shi left, my heart seemed to have mixed feelings welling up in my heart, full of infinite sentimentality.

The original firm and persistent belief also drew a deep crack and a faint pain.

I don't know when or where my path will go, or if my path will be dull or winding.

I clenched my fists fiercely and swore that no matter where I went, when or where, I would never regret my life again.
