It was a self-deceptive marriage, she and I were tired of acting, but we didn't want to tell the truth, until finally the truth was finally revealed, and I accidentally did something wrong......

1

When I woke up in the middle of the night, my pillow was empty again, and I searched every corner of the house in panic, and my wife Mina disappeared out of thin air. There's no way she's going to run out of the house, I locked the doors and windows before I went to bed, I checked.

She has severe paranoia and sometimes can't even figure out who she is, always referring to herself as "Irene". The psychiatrist suggested that it would be safer to keep her in the intensive care unit, but I didn't give up, so I locked her up like an animal.

Where will she be? Not under the bed, not behind the door, not in the cupboard, not on the windowsill, not behind the sofa, I searched every corner of the hidden person like a child of hide-and-seek, and still no.

I was so anxious that the locks on the bed and door had not been moved, how could a big living person disappear into thin air?

I ran to the bathroom, to the side of the bathtub, to the washing machine; I ran to the kitchen, to the cupboards, to the closets, to the small places where I couldn't hide people, and I searched them all. Suddenly, as if I remembered something, I slammed open the refrigerator door, and my wife, curled up stiffly in the freezer below, and I felt a heartache, and gently picked her up like a glass sculpture, for fear that if I was not careful, I would fall her into a crystal ice ballast.

Mina's eyes widened and she never blinked, her eyelashes were covered with sparkling splinters, and her lips were smiling intoxicatingly, black and purple, with a layer of hoarfrost. In the nostrils, there is not the slightest breath. I desperately took off all my clothes and hugged her tightly, trying to warm her with my heat. But when I touched her skin, I felt a sharp pain, and my skin quickly frostbitten, like it stuck to the steel of the harsh winter.

My teeth clattered, and I wanted to burn all the energy in my body and transmit it to her like a martial arts master, and I was most afraid that she would never be able to warm up, so she would become a cold corpse.

I frantically put a tub of cold water in it, and put Mina like a roll of frozen lamb in it to thaw, and I soaked myself in the water, trying to warm her with what little body I had left. I could feel my wife in my arms like a melted popsicle, soft, but still lifeless.

Breathe! Blink! Stop dreaming! Fuck, wake up...... My lips instantly became as black and purple as hers, and tears fell into the bathtub in big drops, even if he was like this, I was always glad to marry her, but I never thought that she would freeze herself to death and leave me like this......

I woke up alone, a large group of white coats pushing a bed covered with white sheets, who was lying underneath? Isn't it my wife? In desperation, I reached out and grabbed a white coat of clothing, and what I grabbed was a palm of air......

I woke up in a hospital bed, and on the left bed, my wife was lying quietly. I turned my head to look at her, a smile tugging at the corner of my mouth.

I was in shock due to hypothermia, but fortunately, the bathtub was full of water and overflowed to the ground and flowed next door, and the neighbor called the police, and my wife and I were rescued in time.

Mina is still alive, and the doctor says it's almost a medical miracle, just because although she is hypothermic and the blood flow rate is too slow, her brain thinking has not stopped, and she has been in an exaggerated fantasy, so the brain cells are not inactivated.

To put it this way, she didn't die entirely because she was suffering from paranoia, which was really an unexpected blessing in disguise. I took her hand across the bed, her hand was warm and dry, and I felt reassured.

Suddenly she woke up, she opened her big eyes, stared at me, and called softly, "Xu Ning—"

I was still smiling, but I heard my heart snap and shatter into thousands of pieces, and she woke up, but she was still immersed in a delusional dream, my name was Qin Yiming.

Xu Ning is another man's name.

He has been dead for nine years.

Nine years ago, Mina and Xu Ning were a pair of young lovers, the three of us as members of the Antarctic scientific expedition team, went to the Antarctic Great Wall Station to participate in scientific research, carrying heavy equipment over the mountains and mountains, once in the middle of the cliff snow layer, halfway down, a snow wall slipped down, Xu Ning pushed me away, he was buried under a few meters of snow layer, Mina was heartbroken, but the number of team members present was not enough, unable to dig up the snow layer in time to save him, even if he dug up, he had already frozen to death. The captain decided to 'abandon' him, and they forcibly took Mina, who was soon sent inland due to insanity.

That's why she locked herself in the freezer - perhaps, she just wanted to taste what it was like to be frozen.

I love her and don't want her to be immersed in endless thoughts of the dead. But what can I do, I can't die for Xu Ning.

No, I have a way, because I am a writer, and I want to weave a story for her to make Xu Ning reborn......

"Lately Mina has had a strange feeling that behind her, there is always an invisible figure following her. She went to the mall to buy clothes and fell in love with an orange dress, but it was too expensive, so she chose a regular one. But when she came home after checking out, she found the orange one in the bag. I don't know when there are more of her favorite foods in the refrigerator, rare fruits in the north. Her husband didn't come home from a business trip, so she fell asleep alone in the sand, but woke up with a blanket on her body......

During this time, I told Mina that I was on a business trip. Actually, I took a leave of absence and went to a small tribe on the border of China and Myanmar to seek the legendary art of rebirth. I found a witch with a black veil. She gave me a white powder, and she told me that longing can bring the souls of the deceased together around their beloved, but without a body, they can only silently witness their lover's thoughts about them.

Xu Ning must still be there, but we can't see him, not even Mina.

So what I have to do is: light a red candle, take this packet of powder on time at twelve o'clock, poison myself, my soul is out of my body, and give Xu Ning a chance to borrow my body and be reborn.

Midnight crept down. I stole my gaze at the sleeping Mina, gently stroking her cheek. It was the last chance I would be able to touch her. At twelve o'clock, the phone flashed silently. I turned it off, lit the candle, drank the white powder, and poured it softly on the ground in a whirlwind.

I floated up involuntarily all the way to the roof. I looked back and saw myself slowly waking up, looking blankly at the unfamiliar room, slowly getting up from the floor and entering the bedroom. The next day, Mina found out about the change in her husband, his original rough personality suddenly became very considerate and caring, and the way he spoke and did things was very similar to Xu Ning, as if he had another person in his shell. Gradually, Mina already regarded him as Xu Ning in her heart, and they lived happily together, no one knew that a lonely and wandering soul was watching them quietly in the dark. ”

Mina loved the fictional description. She had watched it countless times, auditioned it in her head countless times, and in the end she couldn't even tell if this part had really happened. Sometimes she mistook me for Xu Ning, so I cooperated very well to play Xu Ning, who was resurrected by my "shell". After a long time, even I began to get confused, and I thought I was really Xu Ning. And strangely enough, I recalled a dilapidated village, with a thatched hut at the end of a muddy dirt road, and I recalled the time when I grew up in it, picking up a scoop made of gourds, scooping up cold water, and drinking it in one gulp, and the little bench at the door, where I used to sit and watch idly as the old hens in the yard rushed to peck rice.

I have been in the city since I was born, but Xu Ning was in the countryside when he was a child. I had only heard of this kind of rural life when I was chatting with Xu Ning, but I had no reason to see all the furnishings so really, I went to that village with questions, and saw that everything in that hut was exactly the same as I had dreamed......

I walked towards a bubbling well, and I distinctly remember how I squatted here to catch dragonflies floating on the water as a child. No, I never came here when I was a kid, I lived in the city and had a lot of toys, Transformers, 4WD...... I tried to recall the memories of being in the city as a child, but I couldn't remember them at all......

My soul is really gone, and in its place, it is Xu Ning.

And the witch I made up was also unexpectedly met me on the street in broad daylight.

There was a traffic jam, the lanes were full of large and small motor vehicles, many drivers were honking their horns anxiously, and I was breathing in the gray exhaust fumes, drowsy, and watching with envy the pedestrians on the sidewalk passing in groups.

She was in the middle of the crowd of walkers, but her outfit was so eye-catching, with a black robe, a white turban, a black veil, and a gilded six-pointed star on her eyebrows. Exactly as I described, she was covered in a black cloth, revealing only a pair of deep eyes looking at me slyly.

Seeing that I had spotted her, she seemed to be a little frightened, turned around and ran into the crowd, and I got out of the car and chased after her. This cunning fellow, I think she's waiting for me, and now where is she going to lead me?

I chased her all the way south, to the outskirts of the southern part of the city, and further south was a public cemetery. I felt something, and sure enough, she stopped at a tombstone, as if waiting for me. I ran over, and on the tombstone, I saw "Qin Yiming" - it was my own name!

"What the hell is going on?" I asked in surprise.

The witch's voice was hoarse, and she spoke Chinese very unfluently: "Haven't you read the words written by Qin Yiming?" Qin Yiming is dead, and you who are alive now are Xu Ning. ”

I laughed: "These are all plots in novels, they are all fictionalized by me, the lives of Xu Ning and I cannot be interchanged, and you don't really exist......"

The witch looked at me with a sneer.

To say to a big living person standing in front of you that she doesn't exist is really a very ridiculous thing, and even I have lost my confidence.

The witch said faintly: "It was written by Qin Yiming, not you." And it's not a novel, it's a diary. He really went to the China-Myanmar border to look for me when he was alive. The soul has memories, and so it has. The moment you entered Qin Yiming's body, the memories of his body were intertwined with the memories of your soul, and you mistakenly thought that you were Qin Yiming, but you couldn't explain why your childhood memories were Xu Ning's, didn't you? ”

I looked at the picture on the tombstone that looked exactly like me, and the more I looked at it, the more strange it became. It turns out that I am really Xu Ning, I was reborn, and Qin Yiming died. This seemingly impossible thing actually happened in real life.

A whistle with obvious displeasure whistled behind me, and I woke up to find myself still sitting in my car, with no witch to be seen. Could this be another dream that is false and real? No, the smell of spices that is unique to her body still lingers, it is not a dream.

I drove fast, I want to see Mina right away, I suddenly miss her so much, nine years, nine years of parting, I finally came back, she has been waiting, waiting for Xu Ning, who is crazy, to finally come back. I can't wait to surprise her, and I don't have to "play" her sweetheart anymore because I am.

Mina is changing in front of the closet. I couldn't help but sneak over and blindfold her from behind like a naughty little child, and she was startled, "Who?" ”

"Guess?"

She heard Qin Yiming's voice and said angrily, "Husband, don't make trouble." ”

I slowly let go of my hand, and she turned her head, surprised to see how strangely I looked at her. It's so strange, the reunion after nine years, the reunion after life and death, can it not be strange? She is a little old, there are wrinkles at the end of her eyes, and her figure is not as slim as it used to be, but I have never thought she is so beautiful, and the thoughts that have been aged for nine years have turned into sweet words, but I choked before I could say anything.

Mina was stunned, she also stared at me for a long time, and finally she recognized me from my eyes, and she suddenly said, "Xu Ning? ”

We hugged each other tightly.

During that time, we were like newlyweds, I took her to the movies, gave her a large bouquet of roses, stood downstairs on a rainy night and shouted her name, and the neighbors said what was wrong with the two of them, and it was not the first day they met.

Qin Yiming's ghost, as well as the witch, have never appeared again, and it stands to reason that the story can end here. But when I was cleaning the attic that day, I found ......

An old iron box, very old, the kind that used to hold 555 cigarettes. It's locked, it looks like it's loaded with important things, I don't have any impression, it should be Qin Yiming's. Out of curiosity, I pried it open and saw a well-preserved marriage certificate.

It should be Qin Yiming and Mina, I opened it and took a look, but it said "Xu Ning, Erin will always be together".

I was taken aback, who is Irene? A bit of déjà vu. Do I have another wife besides Mina? Impossible, I went to the Antarctic for a scientific expedition just after graduating from university, and then I was sealed in the snowy mountains, and I never came back, if it weren't for Qin Yiming's sacrifice, I would still be lying cold under the snow layer now.

What's going on?

I rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find clues. Instead, she found the bronzing brush and the black robe from Mina's lockbox.

I was stunned that the mysterious witch turned out to be Mina in disguise.

And under the robe, there was a diary neatly placed, very old-fashioned, the kind of leather-rimmed and gold-rimmed book that was popular when we went to college.

I opened one of them, and the title page read "Irene", and I flipped through a few pages and saw a handwriting in a beautiful handwriting.

"On September 17th, Qing, today, Professor Li finally received a signal from the Antarctic Great Wall Station, they said that there was an accident on the way, and a boy named Qin Yiming was buried under the falling snow. His lover who accompanied him was too grief-stricken and insane, and Xu Ning was responsible for sending her back. But it's been a month since they left, why hasn't Xu Ning arrived at the research institute yet? And there is no news, there will be no accident for him, right? ”

"On December 9th, it snowed, and today the hunters in the villages near Mohe found a member of the scientific expedition team on the ice, he called himself "Qin Yiming", and the research institute has sent someone to pick him up, but didn't the people at the Antarctic Great Wall Station say that Qin Yiming is dead? Where is my Xu Ning? ”

"On December 10th, Xue, thank God, the person who picked it up was Xu Ning. But he was in a trance, insisting that his name was "Qin Yiming", and he was still holding a frozen female corpse and refused to let go. It was identified that the female corpse was Qin Yiming's lover. What has happened in the past three months? From Xu Ning's records, I finally learned about their experiences. ”

There were also a few crumpled pages of crumpled notes for the experiment, and I carefully unfolded them, and saw that on the back were my own handwriting, but they were all crooked, not as neat as the elementary school students' writing, probably because my hands were frozen:

"Yiming and Mina have decided to get married, originally he didn't want Mina to participate in the scientific expedition, after all, there are many dangers, and there are few girls since the establishment of the station. It's me who strongly instigated the two of them, if they want to come, they will come together, and they will be on their honeymoon, thousands of miles of ice and snow, how romantic. ”

"I hid in front of the wall of the snowy mountain to urinate, suddenly my head was white, and I fell down, I didn't react, I just felt that someone pushed me hard from behind, I slipped a few meters out of the ice, and when I looked back, I saw that there was an extra snowy mountain where I was standing...... They told me that Qin Yiming was buried underneath. My mind went blank as I saw Mina's hands flushed, frantically digging through the massive snowdrifts. I also dug it up with her until someone pulled us away and said it was useless, it was too thickly buried......"

"Mina is crazy, and when she sees everyone, she calls 'Yiming', and the team wants me to send her back. For Yiming, I am already full of guilt, and seeing her like this, I blame myself even more. I swear to Brother Yiming's spirit in heaven that I will send her back to my homeland safe and sound. ”

Mina didn't want to leave, and every time she got out of the car by urinating, she ran back. I had to get out of the car to chase her, but I forgot to pull the hand brake, and the car on the ice slid straight downhill and crashed. Now that's good, what do we do? I counted the compressed dry food, which was enough to last for a few months, and I had to travel more than a hundred miles a day and rest in my tent. ”i1387
