Chapter 2: Dreams

When Jiang Wei regained consciousness again, he only felt that every part of his body hurt terribly, as if an invisible knife was sliding back and forth on his skin.

He didn't know where he was at the moment, but he could feel that this was not where he used to live.

It was quiet, and there was a strange smell wafting through the air, which was extremely unpleasant, like moldy rags mixed with spoiled food, and some kind of animal excrement, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Jiang Wei wanted to open his eyes to see where he was, but the result was incredulous.

Obviously he was very conscious, but he opened his eyelids and tried to move his body, but he was horrified to find that even his body could not control himself, as if the body he felt at the moment did not belong to him.

The unknown is always the most frightening, and in the dark, you never know what horror will happen to you in the next moment.

As time passed, Jiang Wei's heart began to slowly grow a trace of anxiety and boredom.

This reminded him not only of the black house torture he had seen on the Internet.

"No, I can't go on like this, or I'll be driven crazy sooner or later."

Slowly suppressing the emotions that began to be restless, Jiang Wei began to think carefully.

"In such an environment, first of all, I can't panic myself, and secondly, I have to think of some positive things to avoid bad emotions affecting me."

As soon as he thought of it, he first adjusted his mentality to make it as calm and peaceful as possible, and then began to think back to the things he was happier.

In fact, Jiang Wei's life from childhood to adulthood was very ordinary, and the only thing that made him happy was when his parents took him out to see the Bailiu County Big Buddha Club when he was a child.

More than ten years is enough time to smooth out any beauty and scars, even so, Jiang Wei still vaguely remembers the lively scene at that time and his excitement.

I have to say that this trick is really effective, as soon as the attention is diverted, the irritability that just rose in my heart completely disappears.

I don't know how long he maintained his state, and a faint light gradually appeared in Jiang Wei's eyes, and this change made him instantly excited.

"Finally I don't have to endure that terrible darkness anymore."

Although he still couldn't control his body, now that he could see things, Jiang Wei still seized the time to look at his surroundings first.

The old ceiling was covered with mold, and in some places, perhaps due to frequent water seeps, bulging out bags of various sizes, most of which had turned gray-black, made the original white roof look a little scary.

As soon as he finished observing the roof, Jiang Wei found that his gaze began to move, and the strange thing was that the movements of his body were not consistent with his thoughts, except for the physical pain and the smell in his nose, everything else was completely uncontrollable.

The body slowly sat up, and his eyes moved with him, and then Jiang Wei saw that he was sleeping on a hard bed less than one and a half meters, the thin sheets were wrinkled, and the stains were all over the place, and the gaps between the planks and the planks below could be vaguely seen.

It's dirty around, there are all kinds of garbage piles everywhere, and there are many tools that are commonly used at home on the walls, and there are some miscellaneous items that you don't usually use.

Stretching out his hands to hold a leg, he moved this leg to the edge of the bed, and at this time Jiang Wei saw that the two small arms holding the leg were covered with all kinds of scars.

The scars were dense, some of them looked like they had been cut with a knife, some of them looked like cigarette butts were burned, and some of the wounds were so irregular that for a while he couldn't tell what they were caused by.

These wounds are different from old to new, and some even seem to have just been inflicted, and even if you know that these wounds are not on your body, you feel cold all over.

He couldn't think about what kind of experience could leave a person with so many strange scars.

Obviously, the body in front of me does not belong to me, but only why I am in this body. Jiang Wei couldn't think of a reason even if he wanted to break his head, so he simply waited and watched.

When he moved his legs, the pain in his body intensified significantly, which made Jiang Wei, who was in it, a little unbearable, but the owner of this body seemed to be used to it, and remained silent.

After more than ten minutes like this, the body finally sat up straight, and Jiang Wei also saw all the scenes in the entire room.

There was nothing in the room except for the small wooden plank bed leaning against the wall, and the only furniture in the room was the unrecognizable table at the head of the bed.

The room has no windows, and all the light comes from the 20W or so light bulb on the wall opposite the bed, which is the only appliance in the room, if the bulb is also an appliance.

The body stretched out its skinny hand, picked up the only book from the table, put it in front of his eyes, and looked at it with great care.

This is a Chinese textbook for the third grade of primary school, with the three words "Chen Wenhui" written on the shabby cover, although the font is not very neat, but every stroke is written very carefully, indicating that the person who wrote this name at that time was very attentive.

"Chen Wenhui, is it the name of this body?"

Jiang Wei pondered for a long time, but he couldn't dig out any information about the name from his memory.

Turning to the first page of the textbook, there was a pencil that was only half cut and had erased its surface color.

At this time, Jiang Wei saw that both sides of the textbook, including the back of the cover and the blank space in the middle of the text, were filled with dense handwriting.

"My father was very sick, and he said that he was going to find his mother, and that I would live with my current mother in the future, and that I should be obedient and not upset her.

I was sad, but I didn't dare to cry, and my father said that a manly man can't always shed tears, otherwise others will not like me.

Dad secretly took out a lot of money and a booklet from under the pillow, and said that I should hide it and go out to buy some delicious food in the future, and said that he would not let me tell my mother. ”

The handwriting was messy, and there were a lot of typos mixed in with it, but like the name on the cover, it was written very seriously, which made Jiang Wei not look so difficult.

"Mom said Dad was gone, I knew he would never come back, although it was sad, but I remember what Dad said, I didn't cry.

Every time I get out of school, I will go home as soon as possible to help my mother do housework, and I am not willing to spend the money my father gave me, so I secretly hid it in Xiaohua's body with the booklet.

Little Flower is my best friend, and I've been with him every day since my dad gave him to me. ”

That's all the book has to say, except for what it was originally about.

In this Chinese textbook, which is like a diary but not a diary, a boy's life is recorded.

Jiang Wei began to feel a little sympathetic to this child, without his biological parents, it was really not easy for him to live with his stepmother, but he did not tell in the notes that his stepmother was mean or abused him.
