Chapter 13: Leaving the Soul
I don't know if I passed out or fell asleep, but when I woke up, there was no room left to move. I felt okay last night, and it didn't hurt so much, why does it hurt like this now.
Because there are more injuries in the back, I can only lie on my stomach on the bed, yesterday's radiant big back is now like grass on my head, ah~~ I really want to take a shower, but now I don't even have the courage to go to the bathroom.
The old fox butler pushed the dining cart into my room: "Mr. Zhang, the boss said that you will eat in the room when you wake up." I'll be able to walk around in a moment, and I'll call for two people to help you to the bathroom. ”
Oh, I'll go, is my style misunderstood: "I can get up, but I don't have to trouble you, I just have a back pain." Saying that, I gritted my teeth and got up, it hurt! I've got to hold on, too. Woo woo woo ~ ~ It's good to cry in your heart.
After breakfast and a shower, I feel much better. I didn't see the shadow of Pan Zhen that guy that day, it seems that he deliberately wanted to avoid me. I wandered around the courtyard bored, trying to find someone to talk to, but the staff here were like mutes, and they didn't answer anything.
When it came time for dinner, there was a large table full of food, but I was the only one to eat. Rich people are bulls, and they don't care if they waste it or not. If the guys in the dormitory were all there at this time, Lao Cai would have gobbled up steak while cynically condemning the criminal acts of spitting on the capitalists. What about Chubby? Chubby would pull all the delicious food into his bowl first, and then listen to us gossip while eating. The glasses will take the red wine and taste it slowly, and the gentleman will sit there. Dongyang will definitely sit next to me and pull me from drinking, and the mother will sit next to Dongyang and give him something to eat.
"Hehe, hehe, I don't know why, thinking about it, as if I was there, I unconsciously smirked.
"Mr. Zhang, do you need anything else?" The butler's words shattered my illusions, and I suddenly found that I was the only one sitting at this cold dining table, and I couldn't help but feel a little lonely.
"It's okay, I'm full." With that, I stood up and prepared to go back to my room to rest. Anyway, I'll go back in two days, there's nothing to worry about, Pan Zhen should be a person who counts. Besides, if I didn't report back to school at the beginning of the school year, the instructor would ask, and my parents would come to me at that time.
At midnight, I was sleeping soundly, and suddenly I felt my chest shake, Pan Zhen wouldn't have ridden me again, right? Is this over? When I opened my eyes, I saw that there was nothing around me. Hey? No one? Why is my chest stuffy, I tried to move my body, and my whole body felt like I was tied.
"Hey!! - I shouted, but I couldn't hear my own voice. Am I dumb or deaf? I tried my best to move my fingers, but I couldn't do it, what the hell was wrong? Am I paralyzed?
Now it seems that only the eyeballs can still roll, I looked around and found that I was indeed lying on the bed in the guest room, and calmly thought for a while, whether I was too nervous to cause such a thing to happen, I tried to loosen my body, relax my spirit, and silently thought in my heart: I want to sit up, I want to sit up.
Sure enough, it was useful not to be so scared, and in a trance I really sat up.
Whew~~ sighed, although I still can't hear my own voice in my ears, but at least I can move now. I tried to get out of bed, put my feet on the ground, and found myself much lighter. I can't care so much about it right now, so let's go out and find someone to ask what's going on.
Along the way, I staggered forward, and the scenery in my eyes was sometimes distorted and sometimes clear. After walking for a while, I came across a waitress, and I quickened my pace to her.
"Hello, I want to ask..." Before I could finish my sentence, she walked past me, hey! Are you transparent to me? Why are you so rude!
Later, I met many people who came and went, and I realized that they really couldn't see me, and they didn't even have their own shadow in the mirror.
So what am I like now? Am I dreaming, or am I now a ghost? What's next? Should I go back to my room? Just as I was hesitating, a figure passed through the hallway in front of me.
Hey? Is it a white-haired man, the guy who saved me? No one can see me now, anyway, so I'll go after him and see who he is.
He didn't walk very fast, I chased a few steps to catch up, and when I got closer, I looked at his appearance carefully, and sure enough, it was the white-haired man who saved me with two scimitars in the academy. How did he end up here? He said that someone had sent him to protect me, but who was it? Could it be Pan Zhen?
I followed him to the back garden, through several layers of shrubs, and in a secluded corner there was a dilapidated iron door. He pushed the door open and walked in, and I followed.
Although the vision was a little blurry and shaky, but the body was light as if weightless did not fall, entering the door is a row of downward rotating stone steps, I fluttered down two or three floors, to the bottom of the stairs is a dim corridor, at a glance there is no end at all. Where is he going? It is said that in ancient times, there would be some secret channels in the homes of rich people, it seems that it is really true, and modern rich people are also interested in this, and this corridor will not lead to some treasure house.
Walking, walking, I can't remember how long I walked, and I didn't feel tired anyway. The white-haired man in front of me suddenly disappeared from my field of vision, and I hurried a few steps to follow, and it turned out that at the end of the corridor was a spiral staircase leading to the ground. Why build such a tunnel? What's up there? My mind was full of question marks.
I walked up the stairs and was shocked by what I saw when I reached the top. It turned out that the promenade I had been walking on was actually under the lake, and now I am in the position of the White Jade Pavilion in the center of the lake. Oh~~ No wonder no boat people can get to this place.
The white-haired man was talking to another man, but I couldn't even hear myself, let alone listen to their conversation.
The man had his back to me, and I wanted to get closer to see who he was, and as soon as I got closer, he turned sharply. Sure enough, it was Pan Zhen, as I thought in my heart, it seems that he and the white-haired man have known each other for a long time. But what surprised me was that he was facing me in the same direction, as if he could see me.
"Pan Zhen, Pan Zhen! Can you hear me? I shouted at him.
His expression suddenly became solemn, and his brow furrowed as if he heard my voice.
I saw him raise his right hand and scratch it a few times with his left hand, as if he had written something, and I just wanted to come to the front to see it, but he quickly raised his right hand to cover my head and patted it.
"Ahh - With a shout, I slammed my bed and sat up. That's when I realized that I was sweating and soaking wet. No way! Am I dreaming? Scared the baby to death. I kept rubbing my chest with my hands, and my heart was pounding to my throat.
I gasped for breath and poured a few glasses of water to get better. Sitting on the edge of the bed began to recall what had just happened, some remembered some but vague, it seemed that he really had a nightmare, and he had always encountered unusual things recently, only blaming himself for being blind during the day.
After such a toss, I didn't feel sleepy, it was still dawn outside, and I didn't know what I should do.
I stood in front of the window and looked at the dark scenery outside, and slowly a ray of morning light swept across the horizon, and everything began to become clearer, wishing that the mysteries in my heart could also become clear in this way.
After breakfast, I asked for an extra cup of coffee, knowing that I hadn't slept well last night, and that I would be sleepy if I didn't refresh myself for a while.
"Is that Pan Zhen back?" I tentatively asked the butler standing nearby.
"Oh, the boss hasn't come back yet, does Mr. Zhang have anything to convey?"
"Didn't come back?" So I was really dreaming last night? "May I ask if you have a man with white hair and white eyebrows?"
"There is no such person, sir." The butler replied respectfully.
"That's it~~" It seems that I can't ask why.,I guess he wouldn't be able to tell me if there was this person.。
Now it's better to go to the back garden and check if it's a dream. I was alone, with my hands behind my back, walking with square steps, as if admiring the flowers in the garden, and walking step by step by the remnants of last night's memory.
Bypassing a few leafy shrubs, an iron gate comes into view. This is often the most terrifying time, because things you thought you had only seen in a dream suddenly appeared in front of you.
What to do? Do you want to go down, the outside is the same as the place you saw in your dream, then how to explain what happened last night.
Just as I was hesitating and undecided, I was suddenly tapped on the shoulder from behind.
"Who?!" When I was distracted, I was most afraid of being disturbed by others, which scared me all over.
"You know you're scared now?" Pan Zhen changed his previous smiling face and told me seriously.
"Why are you back?" I wonder if he wasn't here last night.
Pan Zhen put his hand on my shoulder, and whispered as he walked with me: "Have you ever heard of being pressed by ghosts? ”
I shook my head.
"Hey~ Why don't you know anything, I wonder if you saved me that night." As he spoke, he raised a hand and spun it vigorously around my head.
"Ahhh
"Do you know it hurts? If I hadn't found out last night, you'd be dead by now. ”
I looked at him with wide eyes, so he really saw me last night.
"You don't have to be too surprised, in fact, some ordinary people will encounter such a thing as being pressed by ghosts, but as long as you move your head or hands desperately, you can get rid of it."
I nodded with some reassurance.
"What are you nodding? Your kind of soul is no longer pressed by ghosts, your soul is called leaving the soul, that is, the soul and the body are not together. ”
I looked at him again in horror: "Are you saying... ”
"It's very dangerous, and if you can't fully return to your body in that state, you'll be stupid not to die."
"Nonsense, how can there be such a mysterious thing" I'm not a three-year-old child, how can I trust other people's words casually.
Pan Zhen glared at me, obviously angry. He reached out and pulled two shiny things out of his coat pocket.
"Here's one for you, put it on your right index finger, and don't take it off at any time."
I took what he handed me and looked at it, huh? Isn't that my turquoise eyestone? When did you run to him? Now it has been set in a Tibetan silver and made into a ring.
"Why did this run away from you?" I looked at him quizzically.
He showed his usual face again, and said with a smile: "I came here last time on your body, and I found someone to beat them into a pair." In the future, if you encounter something that leaves your soul, you can wake up by pressing your big finger on the ghost eye stone. ”
"Really? And who do you give the other one? I asked, looking at the ring he was holding.
"I've kept this for myself, but it's actually for other purposes, so I won't tell you now."
"I won't bring a pair with you, so that people can see where my face is still going, or you will give me that too."
"Tut-tut, look at you like that, do you want to give the other one to the little beauty, people may not be able to accept it." Pan Zhen looked at me with disgust.
My face turned red and white when he said: "Who do you care about me to?" Anyway, if you don't wear the same one, then I don't want this! As I spoke, I threw him the ring in my hand.
"Look at how sour your face is, I promised you not to wear it usually, are you wearing it when you use it?"
I don't want to worry about him anymore, it's like two people arguing too much. I took the ring back and put it on the index finger of my right hand, but I didn't expect it to be just the right size.
Pan Zhen and I walked all the way back along the back garden, and suddenly an idea flashed in our minds.
"Huh? You say that I left my soul last night, then it wasn't a dream, so what I saw was what really happened? ”
Pan Zhen looked at me and nodded: "In addition to your eyesight and mobility, you can't hear or feel, right?" ”
"Well, who is that white-haired man I saw yesterday?" Pan Zhen was a little hesitant when he saw me ask him last night, but he still replied calmly: "That person is a friend of mine, and it can also be said to be a helper, his name is Lianying." ”
"Then last time at school..." Before I could finish asking, Pan Zhen interrupted me: "I asked him to help you last time, you don't have to be grateful to me, my own motives are not pure." Don't ask about the rest, I can't tell you too much. ”
I have too many questions in my mind, but since he doesn't want to say it, I have no reason to ask with a dead face. It's better to ask for others than for yourself, so I'd better investigate slowly by myself.
Three days is not long or short, anyway, it passed after I ate and slept, slept and ate. Pan Zhen sent me back to school the day before the start of school, and we didn't mention those unbelievable things again, everything seemed to be back to the beginning. I'm still the same freshman, and he's still his idol professor. Although we don't have much intersection anymore, every time we meet him, he always looks at me a few more times, intentionally or unintentionally.
Dongyang saw that I came back safely, and he didn't ask too much, I wanted to find a time to talk to him about the tattoo, but he didn't give me any chance, and always avoided being alone with me.
Little people like us have lived the life of a rich man, and it's really like a dream, and I want to share this dream with these buddies in the dormitory, and I guess I will be laughed to death by them. However, Buddha Bao and Qiming asked about the ring on my hand, and I casually made up a reason, saying that it was given by the elders of the family during the Chinese New Year. After saying that, I regretted it, as if I was invisibly taken advantage of by Pan Zhen's guy.
