Chapter 9 Revisited
Just as I was secretly making up my mind, I suddenly noticed a bright light shining behind me. That's not the lighting in an ice cream parlor to set the mood. It's a warm and somewhat burning feeling. I turned my head in confusion, and I almost fell off my stool at the sight I saw.
It's an ice cream parlor that's about to be overcrowded? It's a summer dusk street, and the road is in a hurry. The sunset, which was already hanging in the western sky, dyed the clouds with the same eyes, but it still tirelessly emitted a scorching heat.
I scratched the back of my head, overwhelmed by this supernatural shot. Although I have been a ghost for many years, I have not gained much experience in this time.
My first thought was that I had crossed over. Maybe wear to the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, no matter which dynasty, just be a princess, and then be promoted and raised with her husband with peace of mind, and finally accidentally become a queen, that little day is simply cool, don't want it.
But when I saw the modern clothes all over the street, I knew that this was not possible. The current state of affairs can be explained from a scientific point of view.
For example, this is a trap set by the youkai I'm going to track.
"Sister!" a childish cry rushed from behind me to the front. A petite and cute little girl was looking at me with her big round eyes.
It's really like when Niu Niu was a child.
I shook my head and sighed, it was because Niuniu was so cute that there was no tragic accident in my family where one child tortured the second child. Because she's so cute that I just want to hold her and kiss her all the time! Even my favorite Barbie bear can be given to her to destroy!
"Sister, sister!" the little girl was not tall, only a little above my knees, and was tugging at the corner of my clothes and said to me, "I want to eat ice cream." ”
I followed the direction of her finger and looked across the road at the ice cream machine that a small supermarket had placed outside. Then she looked around again to see where the adults around her had gone. Don't think I'm a human trafficker and plotting against his girl.
"Where's your mother?"
Seeing that she was so cute, I didn't shake off her hand that had soiled my clothes, and bent down to look her in the eye, trying to make my expression as kind as possible.
She bit the fingers of the hand that didn't grasp the corner of my clothes, tilted her head and looked at me suspiciously, as if I had said something particularly difficult to understand.
This action is also very similar to Niuniu's childhood! When she encountered something she didn't understand, she bit her little finger like this, tilted her head and looked at me with those big black and bright eyes without blinking!
"Didn't Ma Ma seem to let you pick me up?"
She has a milky voice, and because she is young, she can't pronounce words very clearly. I thought it was so funny that I poked her little face, and it was as smooth and elastic as I expected.
"Kid, you've mistaken someone. ”
"Really?" she let go of the hand that grabbed the corner of my coat in dismay, and looked behind me for a long time with a look of confusion. He turned his head to look at me again and asked very uncertainly, "What's your name?" My sister's name is Wang Qingqing. ”
“……”
Not only does this kid look like my sister when she was young, but her sister's name is the same as mine, which is a 1 percent probability!
"Aren't you really called Wang Qingqing?" she scratched her head in confusion, and a few strands of hair ran out of her pigtails mischievously.
"My name is Wang Qingqing, but I'm not your sister. I patiently explained. Because I was already listed three years ago as a person who can only be missed infinitely in my heart, not someone who can be met, how can there be such a little sister.
Besides, my sister is now six years old. Looking at her like this, she is only three or four years old, and it is not good to say that it is not good.
"Where did you come from, did you get separated from your mother?"
"Nest out there. The child pointed to the kindergarten a few hundred meters later and said timidly: "You took me out." ”
I looked over, and it was looking at the sun, and I couldn't open my eyes, so I could only squint to see what the name of the kindergarten was.
Sunflower Kindergarten? Isn't that where my sister went to school? I was in the summer vacation before I had an accident, and I often went to the kindergarten to pick up Niuniu from school.
Wait a minute......
The orange sunlight seemed to turn into a large knife at this point, slashing a string in my head. My head was shining with gold at this time, and it was bright.
There are two words of mantra that circulate infinitely in the light -...... Groove ...... Groove ......
Did I really cross over?
Wear it back before you died?!
This realization made me stunned for a long time, and I finally remembered where I was when I looked at the scene around me. No wonder I've always felt that this place is too familiar, this is how I pick up Niu Niu and go home from school!
"Is your nickname Niuniu?!" I grabbed her shoulder ecstatically: "My big name is Wang Ru?!"
Her expression was the opposite of mine, and she looked at me like she was seeing a madman. Nodding a little scared.
"You're really not my sister, and where is my sister?" said him, his big eyes filled with tears.
"I'm your sister!" I picked her up and slapped her on the ass, "Why don't you even know your sister anymore?!"
“… Didn't you just say you're not my sister?"
"I was just kidding you. I can't even recognize you!"
The sun is in the west, and the direction I'm walking is east. I was also very happy to step on my own shadow, with excitement and uncertainty in my heart.
Since I regained consciousness after I died, I guess it's barely a new life. But what that new life brought me was not the joy of coming back from the dead, but a deep loneliness and a feeling that I couldn't put into words. I stood on the windowsill in my room, watching the people in the community, watching my lovers break up and reconcile, listening to my mom and dad and Niuniu, sitting on the sofa watching TV together after dinner, I was praying that I would disappear, or give me another chance to return to the date before the car accident, and I will definitely cherish every day and every moment after that.
I am a bystander of this world, I can see and hear, but I can't touch it, and I can't change the fact that I saw a running puppy being hit by a car on the road outside the community.
It took me less than a few minutes to go from being a participant to being a participant, but it was extremely difficult, if not hopeless, to switch back from that identity to that identity as a participant.
