2: Jumping cat exclamation
Dai Qian didn't go to work today, because of yesterday's incident, the car broke down, waiting for the repair shop to call accessories, and it would take a long time to repair it. Since you can't go out and do any business. If you stay in the company and help with the warehouse, you might as well take a leave of absence and go home for a day off.
After all, those people in the warehouse, Dai Qian always couldn't get along with them. Because of supply problems, the warehouse is always stuck with the goods sent by Dai Qian to customers, so that Dai Qian is always urged by customers to ask for goods.
Being urged by customers is a taboo for salesmen in business. It is conceivable that because of the difficulties in the warehouse, Dai Qian lost several important customers, so Dai Qian held a grudge against them, and dared not speak...
Of course, the warehouse supervisor, but the younger brother of the proprietress can't be provoked. It's a workplace rule...
Dai Qian thought so, and did so. Tell the boss that there is something at home and take a day off.
When I woke up in the morning, I lay down on the sofa again. I slept over and over last night, and I haven't slept well. The wife was in another room and hadn't gotten up yet.
Although Dai Qian sleeps in a bed by himself, because his wife is pregnant, Dai Qian likes to move around when he sleeps, and his snoring is shocking, which makes his pregnant wife very disgusted. Directly let Dai Qian sleep in another room.
Looking at the empty hall early in the morning, Dai Qian thought that he was making money to support his family by himself, and his parents were old, and he also had to rely on Dai Qian to provide for them.
Fortunately, Dai Qian also has a younger brother, Dai Qian and his younger brother live in the same house, the house is divided into three floors, his parents are on the first floor, his younger brother is on the second floor, and Dai Qian is on the third floor.
My younger brother has a small business on his own, and he has a little spare money. Most of the living expenses on the parents' side are supported by this younger brother, and a small part of the worldly money is given by Dai Qian.
The two brothers have also become families, the younger brother moves relatively fast and already has two children, and Dai Qian, because he is playful, has just had to have...
With the family supporting each other in this way, they are still living in harmony. It's just that as a big brother, he is so depressed...
Thinking of this, Dai Qian closed his eyes helplessly...
"What are you thinking about?"
While Dai Qian was thinking about things with his eyes closed, his grandfather came to the third floor at some point.
"Grandpa, why did you get up. What's going on? ”
"Didn't you tell me you wanted to change jobs? How's it going? ”
"Oh... I haven't found a new job yet. ”
Listening to his grandfather's concern, Dai Qian was very helpless. After all, if you want to change jobs, it doesn't mean that you can change them, the process of changing requires a one-month transition period, and there is no money for this month, how can Dai Qian provide for his wife's nutrition expenses...
Therefore, when changing jobs, there needs to be a guaranteed transition period before you can change jobs.
"It's okay, grandpa supports you to change. You can't just stick around in a place where you know you have no future, right? ”
Grandpa's words suddenly hit the question that Dai Qian had been thinking about. Since he was a child, apart from his parents, the only thing that hurts him the most is .........
Grandfather???
Grandfather???
It suddenly felt like the tape was stuck in my mind!!
Grandfather? Didn't Grandpa die when Dad was 9 years old?
"Who are you ???"
Dai Qian sat up straight suddenly, staring at the person in front of him.
He couldn't see what this man looked like, but he thought that this person was his grandfather. The whole surroundings seem to be beginning to blur in the clouds...
"I'm Grandpa, Ah Qian."
"Who the hell are you, I don't have a grandfather..."
"You have, but you don't see it. Kids, there are some things to do as soon as possible. I'm here because someone wants to give you a better job for you to try, and I think you can try..."
"What job?"
Dai Qian didn't care if the other party was a grandfather or not, but when the other party said that he had a good job, he inexplicably felt that he could ask...
"Help the dreamers do their last thing."
Grandpa said a sentence at this time that made Dai Qian a little vague.
"Dream Bearer? How do you feel that what you said is similar to what an old man said in a dream yesterday? ”
"Hahahaha......"
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter, and the figure of the grandfather suddenly became clear. Dai Qian also suddenly felt that he could indeed feel that it was his grandfather's figure just now, although he had never seen his grandfather, but he could feel that it was.
It wasn't until this laughter rang out that the figure became less and less like grandpa, and it no longer had the feeling of being like grandpa just now.
It wasn't until the figure became clear that Dai Qian was surprised...
That's right! It was the old man Dai Qian dreamed of yesterday.
"You? … You..."
"Yes, that's me, what do you think about what you just said?"
"And now it's a dream again?"
"You have abilities that a lot of people don't have, that is, you love to dream, and you have a lot of self-control in your dreams. Always wake up in a dream and do your own thing. ”
"It's not an ability, most people do."
Dai Qian was very curious about why the old man appeared again, and when he appeared, it was strange words.
"What I said yesterday, you are willing to believe it, which means that you are still willing to believe in the existence of this dream."
"No, it's just a dream. You tell me more now, and I'll wake up later. We don't have anything to do with it again..."
"Hehe... Think about it, I'm sure sooner or later, you'll come to me on your own..."
The old man replied to Dai Qian's words, suddenly turned around, and walked towards the door...
"Wake up!! Wake up!!! ”
Suddenly, a scream pulled Dai Qian back from his dream.
"It's a strange dream again."
"What? What a dream, why didn't you go to work? Still sleeping here? ”
Dai Qian was still in a haze, and his wife was next to him with a big belly and said Dai Qian angrily.
"What time is it?"
"It's almost 10 o'clock, it's late..."
"Oops, I'm going... Late, it's over. ”
Seeing that the time on his phone was 10 o'clock, Dai Qian stood up flutteringly and hurriedly ran towards the door...
After running to the door, I froze again...
"No, I'm taking a leave of absence today..."
"What, you're on leave?"
"yes, I took a leave of absence and slept on the couch..."
"Then you go and take all the clothes to the washing machine to wash them, and drag the floor down, and by the way, help me buy a carton of milk, and I want to supplement some nutrition for the baby in my belly..."
"Well..."
finally took a vacation, and was ordered to do this and that, Dai Qian was indeed extremely reluctant, but he couldn't accept it.
After all, my wife has been more than 7 months...
After his wife returned to the room to play the fetal song, Dai Qian tidied up his clothes, thinking about the first thing, let's buy milk first...
——
——
The wind in the morning of August is comfortable, riding an electric car, watching the migrant workers on the road back and forth, Dai Qian is extremely relaxed...
If you don't ask for leave today, you're doing something reluctant with the same reluctance as them.
Squeak –
Dai Qian braked suddenly, almost crushing an orange cat that ran in front of his car...
"I'll go, whose cat, scare me."
Looking at the cat that jumped in front of him, Dai Qian was a little angry.
And the cat, after jumping in front of him, turned his head to look at Dai Qian.
"Thank you..."
Dai Qian was stunned at this time? He seems to hear the cat say thank you?
At this time, the orange cat next to him saw Dai Qian showing a surprised expression at him.
The orange cat's eyes widened a little, the kind of stunned widening.
"Can you hear me?"
"Are you talking again?"
The orange cat said again, and Dai Qian also replied.
"Huh............... Yikes............!!!! ”
At this time, the orange cat suddenly exploded, and the jumping old man turned around and ran away.
"Oops, I'm a ...... Cao ...... Hell, ahhhh......hh
Dai Qian was wearing short-sleeved shorts, a pair of flip-flops sat in a white electric car, and the unshaved stubble looked sloppy and yelled in the middle of the road, which instantly made everyone around turn around to look over...
Dai Qian looked at the people around him staring at him, and thought of the cat talking to him just now, and he also felt that the hair on his whole body also exploded... Frightened and exploded...
With a twist of the handle, he turned around. and drove an electric car in the direction of his home.
"Another dream?"
Dai Qian drove at an accelerated pace, and shook his face a few times with his other hand.
When the people on the side of the road saw this, they shook their heads and said, "I encountered a nervous disorder early in the morning..."
And Dai Qian's side is hot and painful...
"I'll go, it's not a dream, hurry home."
Bang –
Pushing open the door of his house hard, Dai Qian parked the car outside the door, didn't pull out the key, rushed directly into the incense burner in the hall, took out a few incense sticks and lit them, and then knelt down in front of the statue of God and Buddha and worshiped and worshipped...
There are still words in the mouth
"Amitabha, Buddha, Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun, Mani Mani Coax..."
"What are you talking about, that's the land lord, what are you shouting nonsense?"
When Dai Qian was kneeling down and bowing very seriously, the voice of his mother, who came home later, sounded, and Dai Qian was so frightened that he directly turned the action of kowtowing into a turn...
"You have a good job of worshipping the land, and you have turned your head, and your posture is not bad, and the land lord may be happy and will give you a piece of land."
"What, what, Mom, you don't understand, I'm today... I'm today..."
Listening to his mother's invincible ridicule, Dai Qian wanted to say what happened just now, but he felt that it was unnecessary, after all, in this era of science and technology, there are only two situations where cats can speak human words...
First, schizophrenia.
Second, depressive paranoia.
It's all psychotic...
Forget it, Dai Qian didn't say anything directly, and reluctantly went upstairs and went back to his third floor.
At this time, his wife was still in the room, watching Dai Qian come back, his wife glanced at her, and continued to listen to prenatal music.
"I'll go, I was so scared just now that I forgot about the milk. Forget it, let's do the rest first... As for what happened just now, let's just take it as a hallucination, maybe it has something to do with not sleeping well..."
Dai Qian thought so, so he went to get the clothes to wash, and finished all the things that his wife told him to do today...
After eating with my wife near noon, I was tired and lay down on the sofa to rest.
"Yesterday to today, it feels like things have become a little weird. Is there really something wrong with this dream? ”
Thinking about these messy things, Dai Qian had an idea...
He wanted to go into a dream and confirm something.
After taking his wife away, he also said to his wife:
"Wife, I did so much housework in the morning, let me rest at noon, it's rare to take a day off, let me sleep until I wake up naturally, after waking up, I will do whatever you tell me to do..."
After thinking about it, my wife agreed.
Dai Qian hurriedly entered his room, and once again emphasized to his wife not to disturb, and after getting his wife's 100% consent, he closed his eyes peacefully...
——
——
"I said, you're going to come to me. What are you thinking about? ”
At this time, the old man's voice came again.
Dai Qian didn't have to think about it, and he knew that he had entered a dream again.
"Who the hell are you, why do you keep coming to me?"
Dai Qian stood in a blank space all around, nothing.
"Who am I, don't you know what you should know? I'm looking for you because you've agreed to be my envoy..."
A voice sounded around the empty space, and there was no figure, only Dai Qian was alone.
"When did I know who you were, and when did I agree to be your envoy?"
As soon as Dai Qian finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and continued:
"Gongdan sent an envoy? You mean this? ”
"I'll just say you know, you always pretend you don't know."
At this moment, a figure suddenly and slowly appeared. A thin old man in ancient costume appeared energetically, with charitable eyebrows and a red face...
"What the hell do you want me to do?"
"Maybe I didn't say it clearly enough last time, I'll tell you again this time."
The old man listened to Dai Qian's question, and slowly drew a circle with his hand. brought Dai Qian into a world where there was only black, white, and red.
It's similar to the real world, but there are only three colors: black, white, and red, and the three colors are clearly distinguished, and they don't mix. What is black is black, and what is white is white.
"This is the Void Realm, which is what you call the underworld."
The old man said to Dai Qian, who looked around at the somewhat dull color, and those black and white people and animals were no different from reality.
"You must be wondering, what's different between this place and the rest of the world? ……”
Dai Qian listened to the old man's answer, raised his eyebrows, and seemed to tell the old man how he knew his thoughts.
The old man continued:
"Many people who are alive have been here, but they only know that this is a dream, not an underworld. Therefore, the so-called underworld in the human world is imaginary, but the real void realm is the same as the human world, but it is a little different, do you see what is the difference between those white people and black people and red people? ”
Listening to the old man's answer, Dai Qian looked at those people of different colors, and he suddenly found that there were many black people, and black people could communicate with black people, touch each other, and communicate with white people.
There are also many white people, and white can communicate with white people and touch each other, and can also communicate with black people.
And the red ones are just one or two. They can meet both black and white people, but the red ones seem to be a bit bad, like to play tricks on black people, and are not interested in white people.
"Do you see that?"
"I didn't see it, it's black, white and red... But the red ones seem to be pretty bad..."
"Those are called bad. They like to scare black people, and the more they scare people, the more chances they have to go to the human world to change their identity. ”
"Alternate identity?"
"Well, that's what you said, reincarnated ghosts..."
Dai Qian was cold behind his back, and I used to hear people say that children who fell into the river were pulled away by reincarnated ghosts, or some people died unexpectedly. It turns out that there is such a thing.
"What else?"
"I can't see it in black and white..."
"Black people are living people, they don't belong here, they only come here when they dream... The white ones are the dead ones, who have been staying in this emptiness, waiting for rebirth to be arranged..."
Listening to the old man's answer, Dai Qian began to feel sick to this place.
"Did I come here a lot before... Oh my God..."
"Well, but you can always wake up in a dream and change the course of the dream yourself..."
Listening to the old man's words, Dai Qian also felt that he was really a genius, Dai Qian really liked to dream, because he could often wake up in his dreams and do what he liked... And, some very dirty things............
"So what exactly do you want me to do?"
"In the age of science and technology, the number of dead people has doubled, and the things of science and technology have killed more people... So I've always wanted to find someone to come here and help me..."
Come here? Come into this world?
When Dai Qian heard the old man say that he came here, he was immediately unwilling.
It means that you want Dai Qian, who is still alive, to die directly and come here?
"No... I'm not coming... You let me go... I'm old and young, it's hard for a strong man... This! This... It's not what I want, and it's useless for you to force me..."
Afraid that the old man would directly put Dai Qian here, Dai Qian began to pretend to be his grandson...
"I didn't force you, you already agreed..."
"When did I say yes?"
"Last night, you said to the four Void Messengers..."
Last night? Four Void Messengers?
"You mean? A ......... with two horns?? ”
Dai Qian said, and compared it with his own body, the image of the void who was not wearing clothes and wrapped a fig leaf...
"You should pay attention when you speak, they are called Void Messengers, they have a lot of power here, and they can't be offended..."
The old man heard Dai Qian talking about sheep's horns, and asked Dai Qian to be careful when he spoke.
Dai Qian hurriedly covered his mouth, thinking back to the empty eyes last night, and shivered coldly.
"Remember?"
"Hey, old man. You told me to say that..."
"If you don't say that, will you be able to go back to the world?"
"Wasn't that a dream?"
"Yes, but your dream is different, it's not the dream of the living, it's the dream of the dying man. You've been completely depleted of wood, you're running out of energy, and I've helped you. ”
"Hey, hey, hey...... I remember the other day you said you said you were repaying my favor... It's to return my favor... Right? ”
When Dai Qian heard the old man say this, he quickly denied it. If you let the old man continue, you may not be able to go back.
"Yes, but human affection is not the same as an empty contract. A favor is a favor, a contract is a contract... If you say it, you can't change it... But I'm not bad, let you think about it for a few more days..."
"That means, you lied to me about that contract?"
"It's not called a lie, it's all said, if you don't say that, can you go to the world?"
Dai Qian was completely speechless...
"Don't say it, I don't dream anymore! I'm going to wake up... I'm going to wake up... I don't dream anymore..."
At this time, Dai Qian was said to be afraid. He was really afraid to die like this, and came here...
"What are you thinking..."
"Ah.........?!!!!h
Dai Qian shouted frantically again...... The wife who yelled directly hurried into the room...
"Husband, what's wrong? Shout so loudly..."
Dai Qian looked around at this time, and then looked at his wife... All of a sudden there was silence...
There was silence for a long time......
