Chapter 14: The Guest in a Dream
Unexpectedly, as soon as this question was asked, the ease and trust on Sun Hui's face just now was immediately put away.
As if she had just woken up from a big dream, she stopped talking, and then leaned back towards the back of the chair, while looking at Shen Ran with a completely different look from just now.
"I see." She laughed to herself, "So you're here to ask about this." What kind of people in dreams, bluffing, quite a trick. ”
"Oops......" Lu Cheng couldn't help but sigh, he saw that Sun Hui no longer trusted Shen Ran and wanted something bad.
Shen Ran was still sitting opposite her, his face did not change much, and he did not show a panicked look because of the change in the situation.
Lu Cheng wanted to ask him if he needed help, or if it was over.
But he waited for a while, Shen Ran was still like this, he looked at Shen Ran's reaction and decided not to ask questions for the time being.
He knew that Shen Ran could give him a hint or gesture at any time if he needed to, and now the expression on Shen Ran's face was still determined.
At this moment, Xiaomei made a call into Lu Cheng's mobile phone. She has an update to tell Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng was still staring at Shen Ran's side, and he asked Xiaomei to send him a message.
After reading the news, this is indeed a very important piece of information.
However, he didn't plan to interrupt Shen Ran's interrogation, and continued to look down.
"Heh, actually, you don't have to be so anxious, bluff me again, and then talk about my family or something, maybe I'll tell you." Sun Hui's face changed back to that self-deprecating and playful smile.
"I'm not bluffing you. I really want to know about your family, too. It's just that we talked about your mother, so I'll ask you. Shen Ran didn't show any anger in the face of her ridicule, nor did he explain anything in a panic, but just explained with a sincere attitude.
"I don't believe you, you just want to know why I'm killing, you're not the person I dreamed of at all. You don't care about anything. You're just trying to lie to me. At this time, Sun Hui had already shown extreme insecurity and grievances against Shen Ran.
Shen Ran was observing all her performances, words, and demeanor. From a professional point of view, Sun Hui is actually not complaining about Shen Ran, she is complaining about all the people who should have cared about her, but turned a blind eye to her.
These people may be her relatives, or they may be someone who can help her.
is because she has accumulated too many grievances in her heart, so with this kind of grievance, once she encounters an unsafe situation, she has to start the mode of self-protection, to ridicule the other party, and attack the other party.
It's like a child's crying, always out of words. Behind this is her accusation, but also her vulnerability, she uses an aggressive posture to cover up her loneliness and helplessness, to blame those who have not given her care, those who have deceived her.
The child in her heart was crying, hoping to be soothed.
With just a flash of thought, Shen Ran had already seen through this, so he wouldn't really get angry or angry.
But he also won't approve of and give in to her attacks, because taunts and attacks are inherently wrong expressions, and they will hurt those who really want to help her, and at the same time hurt themselves.
He now treats Sun Hui completely as his own patient.
So his concern at this time is also real.
He continued to explain to her solemnly: "I am indeed the guest of your dreams. You can ask any question to verify this. In my dreams, I didn't leave you, and I won't now. I care about you, I want to know what happened to you, what your father did, I still want to know. It's just that I'm not going to shy away from the question. Now I'm asking about this, and you did, didn't you? ”
Shen Ran is like a firm and reliable friend, or a father, giving her reassurance and giving her the strength to face what has happened.
Sun Hui once again withdrew her defiant smile and was silent for a short time.
"It's you, that's right. If it's your words, you can say it. I can't really think of anyone I'm going to say this to but you. It didn't matter, and I wasn't prepared to run away. Perhaps, I am just waiting for someone to listen to me, but not necessarily. ”
It seems that Shen Ran has regained her trust.
Although he didn't fully understand how this turn of events happened, Lu Cheng had renewed expectations for their next conversation.
"I did it." She confessed.
"Why?" Shen Ran didn't show excitement or surprise, and was still as calm as ever.
An experienced counselor is also more calm in the face of changes in conversation, no matter how provocative or even aggressive the patient is, he can stick to his position, do not flinch, do not fight back, and maintain an equal and powerful order. This invisibly conveys a kind of stabilizing force to the other party, so that the other party also retreats to its own position and continues to try to complete this dialogue on an equal footing.
Shen Ran is not only extremely sensitive when he comes into contact with people, he has a special ability, he also has a unique ability when observing and talking, which is also a professional talent of his.
Lu Cheng is not a psychology major, so he can't completely distinguish the confrontation that occurred in their conversation, but he also had a hazy feeling when he observed Shen Ran.
This seemingly weak man is actually very powerful, an inner strength.
It can be said that he is low-key on the surface and does not show his edge, but when he exerts his endurance and ability, he always gives himself a feeling of unexpected joy, and Lu Cheng feels that he can't underestimate this man who is not as strong as himself anymore.
He didn't realize that his gaze had stayed on Shen Ran's face for a long time, and Shen Ran's expression when he was serious was indeed very catchy, which was a look that he would not show most of the time.
"They said they wanted to help me. They said it themselves, don't blame me......" Sun Hui answered this question with a little shortness of breath and a vague excitement. It could be seen that although she had decided to say this, she still had a little difficulty in expressing it.
"What do you mean, they said they wanted to help you? How did you meet them? Shen Ran tried to sort out the logic in her words.
"I know them, they're my teachers, they're here to help me."
Shen Ran suspected that she was addicted to drugs again, or the problem touched on her traumatic memory somewhere, so it was very laborious to express it, with painful emotions.
He could only capture information from her fragmented words.
"You mean, they turned out to be your teachers?" Although Shen Ran did not have a complete understanding of the details of this case, he had heard Lu Cheng mention that this woman should not be from Shen City, but a migrant worker from other places, how could there be a teacher in this city?
Regarding this point, Lu Cheng outside the interrogation room has already mastered it.
But he couldn't tell Shen Ran completely for a while, so he briefly explained to Shen Ran through headphones, "She was born in the suburbs of Shenshi when she was a child, because she was a girl, she kept hiding and didn't report her household registration, and later moved her family to live in other places, and she fell in other places. ”
From Lu Cheng's simple words, Shen Ran was able to deduce a rough idea. The so-called because it was a girl, so they hid and did not report the household registration, probably because the family planned to have another boy, and because of the policy at the time, they were afraid that they would not be able to have any more children, so they did this.
"What kind of teachers are they?" Shen Ran still wanted to understand more clearly through his own inquiry.
"It's my counselor." When Shen Ran heard this, he was a little surprised. Peers.
Generally speaking, the counsellor is there to help the client, and as long as the relationship is maintained, the relationship between them and the client should be good.
Under what circumstances would a person kill his or her counselor?
She herself kept saying that both teachers said they would help her.
You know, from a certain point of view, in this situation, Shen Ran can also be regarded as her counselor now.
Shen Ran remembers that the two victimized teachers belonged to the same school, and at the same time, they both participated in the public welfare project of an off-campus psychological counseling organization.
Sun Hui either consulted two teachers about psychological problems when she was a student in this school, or she received counseling services in that mental institution.
The real situation is the latter.
Sun Hui has moved her family to work and live in other places, and it should no longer be related to Shen City. But one year after moving out of Shenshi, her mother, who had been staying at home, claimed that she was also going out to work, so she took Sun Hui back to Shenshi and returned to a relative's residence to live temporarily.
In this way, when she was growing up, her mother took her back and forth between Shen City and Yu City more than once.
Sun Hui didn't go to the school where the two teachers worked, so how did she contact these two teachers, and why did she go to a psychological counseling institution?
Shen Ran knew that Sun Hui hadn't told her all about her past, and it was the most critical part.
"I met them at the counselling agency."
"Why did you go to that institution?"
She didn't answer for a while, just looked at Shen Ran so directly, as if she was considering whether to say it and how to say it.
"We've already found out this," Lu Cheng's voice came from the headphones again, "She has been diagnosed with schizophrenia at the Fengping District Mental Health Center. ”
Schizophrenia?
This is a relatively serious type of mental illness that needs to be treated and controlled by medication, otherwise it may worsen.
The most significant symptoms of this disease are auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, that is, hallucinations, and may be accompanied by paranoia, delusions and other concurrent symptoms.
When people curse, they often use the word "neurosis" to make fun of each other, but in fact, to be precise, what they want to say is actually mental illness, or more precisely, schizophrenia.
In the scolding words, this is already a difficult word to hear, which shows that we ordinary people have a lot of incomprehension and fear of this disease.
Another word we often use to equate with schizophrenia is "madness."
It is an objective phenomenon that a person with schizophrenia may really look like a madman at the time of his illness, lacking the logic of thinking and language.
When scolding, we ordinary people may not think too much, and we are not particularly malicious towards the mentally ill.
It's just that whether the person in the situation has a good enough attitude to face his illness and life is a matter that varies from person to person.
Judging from Sun Hui's demeanor, this is indeed a troublesome, painful, and even unspeakable thing for her.
Shen Ran considered whether to continue to ask at this time, but he didn't expect Sun Hui to take the initiative to open his mouth to talk about it after hesitating.
"I'm not going to study, I'm going to see a doctor." She exhaled from her nose and continued, "I quickly understood what was going on, my mother didn't dare to tell my father, she took me to see a doctor, and she herself had an illness. ”
There is a certain genetic proportion of schizophrenia, and Sun Hui's family members are likely to have a family history of mental illness.
"I can't remember exactly when Dad knew the whole story. I remember one time when my mother was on the bus and broke down and cried, and everyone looked at her, and she didn't stop, like crazy!
I called her, and she didn't stop, and then she suddenly pulled me out of the car and said to go find my dad. As soon as she saw her father, she knelt down in front of him! She also pulled me and told me to kneel down too, press my head to the ground, and kowtow to my father. I didn't understand anything at the time, and I was terrified.
I didn't study very well since I was a child, and since then, my dad seems to be even more dissatisfied with me, he often beats me, calls me stupid, and calls me stupid.
Later, I didn't know how other people knew about my medical visits.
I know they must know.
Those classmates thought I was sick and didn't want to come near me. I remember one of my classmates walking up to me, pretending not to see me, walking past me, and then whispering to the other classmates and looking at me and laughing.
Mom said I was too sensitive, but I didn't think it was, they were just laughing at me.
No one is my friend.
My male classmates also bullied me.
It was useless to tell the teacher, and the teacher in turn asked me if I wanted to take a leave of absence.
After a while, my mother told me not to go to the hospital anymore, to take medicine, and to go to the psychiatric hospital will be laughed at. No matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to endure it, you have to be like a normal person, and don't be a patient who is ridiculed by others.
Mom said that she just endured it all the time, and she said that she would protect me and accompany me.
However, I really feel like I can't take it anymore, I'm scared, my mood is very bad, I'm getting more and more unstable, I still have some terrible imaginations, and sometimes I can't tell if it's imagination or reality.
So, I went to a counselor.
There is an organization that is engaged in public welfare activities, which does not require much money, and I can go by myself. ”
