Chapter 1 [Back to Ninety-Seven]
There is a novel called "The Biography of Nan Ke Taishou" in "Taiping Guangji", which is only 4,000 words, but it tells the ups and downs of the world's sufferings. It is rumored that there is a ranger Chun Yu Di, a rest under the tree, but he dreamed of entering the Huai An country, and he was a concubine when he entered, and he was left alone in a county for Nan Ke Taishou, which can be described as enjoying the prosperity of the world. However, the situation changed abruptly, but because of the words of the warlock, he was tragically cut to the people, and when he returned to his hometown, he found that this was a dream of Nanke. In the dream, the old death and injury parted, and three years later, Chun Yudi also died as prophesied in the dream.
This story is familiar to Shi Lei since he was a child, even if there are obscure articles on other people's bookcases, they are only semi-vernacular "Water Margin" and "Red Mansion", on the bookcase in Shi Lei's house, probably the most understandable are these volumes of "Taiping Guangji". Children of the same age as Shi Lei, the earliest extracurricular books they came into contact with were none other than Jin Yong, Gu Longcen, Karen Qiong Yao, etc., these Shi Lei have also read them, but earlier than this is "Taiping Guangji", and he has a deep memory of "The Biography of Nan Ke Taishou", and even after reading it, Shi Lei also picked up a few ant holes next to the roots of the locust tree downstairs in his house, but he never saw the so-called city country.
When I got older, I naturally knew that this was just a novel of the ancients, nothing more than an imaginary yy product, and of course I would never be embarrassed by those ants again. It's just that I never thought that now I woke up from a dream, but it was like a world away, everything in front of me was real, but the twenty years in the dream were also vivid.
If it was just a rough prosperous smoke, Shi Lei would naturally not be trapped here, but every move in the dream was incomparable, and even the fragrance of the little girl's hair remained on his lips, and the fingertips seemed to be remnants of clotted fat, and the tender nipples seemed to be still trembling in front of him, but now it was just a dream of Nanke, how could Shi Lei believe it?
The time was July 23, 1997, Shi Lei's mother Meng Qiuhua pushed Shi Lei awake, and before Shi Lei noticed anything abnormal, he didn't have time to make any strange moves, so he said with a rather complaining expression: "You kid, why are you still sleeping?" Hurry up and apply for a volunteer at school! ”
It wasn't until the sound of the door being closed came that Shi Lei rolled directly from the bed to the bottom of the bed, holding the thin towel quilt on the bed, stunned. There is nothing more surprising than everything in front of him, and there is nothing more shocking than the sudden sight of his mother who has come back from the dead.
slapped himself several times in a row, and the pain on his cheek made Shi Lei know that all this was not false, but he still couldn't believe it and got up from the ground. In the dressing mirror in front of him, there was a thin and weak teenager at the end of puberty, and the few abrupt pimples on his face faintly stinged slightly, confirming this fact that Shi Lei couldn't believe but had to believe with a fuller appearance.
"Having a dream?" This is the first thought that flashed in Shi Lei's mind, but the real ups and downs of the twenty years in the dream, those humiliations, those frivolity, those cautions like walking on thin ice, and those wanton and flamboyant devastation are all like the pictures of a movie flashing in front of him.
Even though these are dreams, those living faces, those scheming or ignorant expressions, seem to warn of something.
"It can't be a dream!" Shi Lei silently asserted in his heart, then, is the so-called rebirth???
Even more unbelievable!
In that life - let's call it that life. In that life, Shi Lei was a bitter man, but he also experienced the most magnificent landscape, in many late nights, he looked at the sleeping and satisfied young body beside him, and he would secretly sigh, even if he experienced the uncountable inner burden of ordinary people, but he also got the wealth and glory that ordinary people could not reach, maybe he should be satisfied when he died at this moment, at least this trip to the world was not in vain, and everything that should have been tried has been tried. It's just that now he suddenly finds that the situation of the past 20 years is like a floating cloud, but Shi Lei can't bear this kind of surging of gains and losses. What is the resumption of today?
In that life, I also read some novels about the description of rebirth, and Shi Lei is no stranger to this word. It's just that in those novels, rebirth is accompanied by death, and without death, there is no new life. And Shi Lei, last night, clearly took a new little model who wanted to climb the high branches, with long legs and a thin waist, and went crazy all night, until the sky turned white, and then he suddenly fell asleep. When he woke up, he found his mother, who had already died of illness, standing by his bedside and waking himself up.
From this point of view, Shi Lei's experience seems to be more like Chun Yudi in "Taiping Guangji", but Chun Yudi went to the empire of ants, while Shi Lei walked along the trajectory of his life for 20 years, but finally returned to the starting point. Whether it is a big dream or living it from scratch, those twenty years of life are absolutely unforgiving, and everything in the meantime must be closely related to the life of this world.
On the head of the bed is an electronic clock with a calendar, and the time on it clearly tells Shi Lei that he was eighteen years old at the moment, if it weren't for the appearance of his mother, Shi Lei would definitely think that he was viciously teased. But how could he not believe that his mother, who had come back from the dead, sat across from him so realistically, helped him hold a bowl of white porridge with a calm smile on her face, and handed him a fritter that was still steaming?
Cautiously did not reveal any vision in front of his mother, but looked at the few wrinkles that had just appeared in the corners of his mother's eyes in her early forties, Shi Lei's heart swelled with a bit of long-lost family affection.
In that lifetime, my mother would die after four years......
With white porridge in his mouth, the fritters had just been handed to his mouth, but Shi Lei was startled.
In 1997, doesn't that mean that my father will die this year?
Shi Lei's father, Shi Weixian, was the deputy mayor of Runyang City, a thousand-year-old ancient city in Jiangdong Province. Although he is only the last of the eight deputy mayors, he is still optimistic about many people at the age of 40, and his future is limitless.
A catastrophe caused Shi Wei to die first, which also brought ruin to the Shi family.
The death of a young deputy mayor in the disaster, although I dare not say that it shocked the government and the opposition, but in the ancient city of Runyang in the middle of the corner, it is still quite a big news that attracts people's attention. Especially after Shi Weixian's death, this disaster was blamed on Shi Weixian's head, and for a while, Shi Weixian, who was originally an airborne cadre who lacked a mass base in the local area, became a serious sin in the mouth of Runyang citizens. Although it is said that the person is dead and the responsibility cannot be pursued, Meng Qiuhua has no face to stay in Runyang.
Fortunately, Shi Lei happened to be admitted to the university in the provincial capital, Meng Qiuhua resigned from the job of the Education Bureau, and went to the provincial capital with Shi Lei to work as a teacher in a private middle school. However, the death of her husband and the various changes she suffered made Meng Qiuhua depressed and sick, and finally died four years later. Shi Lei had just graduated from college, and before he had time to show his bachelor's certificate to his mother, he had already become a loner in this world.
"Mom, where's Dad?" Shi Lei's heart was surging, but he was calm on his face, and put the fritters in his hand across the porridge bowl, as if asking casually.
Meng Qiuhua heard Shi Lei ask about Shi Weixian, and sighed: "There is a landslide in Zhonghou Park, and I heard that many people are trapped in the air-raid shelter. Your father was in charge of all these things, and he was called away early in the morning. ”
When Shi Lei heard this, his heart was even more shocked, as a person with memories of the next twenty years, of course he knew that his father, the promising deputy mayor, was buried by the earthwork that collapsed for the second time in this disaster. And although Meng Qiuhua showed worry in the corners of her eyes, it was only compassion for the ordinary people who were trapped in the air-raid shelter, she would not know that she might lose the pillar of her family today.
Shi Lei was surprised to find that over the years, he had carefully buried that sad memory in the depths of his brain over the years, and it seemed blurry at the moment, and many details could no longer be remembered. The only thing that can be remembered is the clear date of July 23, 1997, and the large-scale landslide caused by Shi Weixian's eventual death from the second landslide. Shi Wei is the first taboo, Shi Lei will never forget.
But even this vague memory reminded Shi Lei that the second landslide occurred in the afternoon, and it was just more than nine o'clock in the morning, and Shi Lei still had a lot of time to recall carefully. But no matter what, Shi Lei wants to take his father back from the hands of death.
"Perhaps, God arranged for me to be reborn on this day so that I could change the fate of the Shi family, otherwise, why is it this day?" Shi Lei drank the last mouthful of white porridge in the bowl, thinking silently in his heart.
Meng Qiuhua hurriedly packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and saw that Shi Lei had been looking a little ignorant since he woke up, and couldn't help but say: "Shi Shi, today is a big day, you must fill in the volunteer steadily, don't be too ambitious, do you know?" ”
Shi Lei suddenly woke up from his remembrance, looked at his mother, nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, Mom, today is indeed a big day." It's just that Shi Lei knows that what he said is completely different from what his mother said.
Filling in the volunteer, Shi Lei doesn't need too much care, he doesn't think that his little butterfly flapping its wings can cause much of a hurricane, at least the admission score line of the college entrance examination and the school's filing score line will not change, that Shi Lei was admitted to Wudong University in the provincial capital, and there will be no problems after being reborn.
Time is still rich, and Shi Lei also needs time to carefully recall 1997...... Oh no, it's just this year today, what else is going on. Why his father, who died in the landslide, was finally beaten as a sinner, can only show that the landslide incident in Nakago Park was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. Shi Lei's task now is not only to snatch his father back from the hands of death, he must also figure out what is the cause of this [***].
