In the real village, I am a street rat, everyone shouts and beats, here, I am a successful person, a warm family, a successful career, and a person that everyone envies.

You can choose whether to wake up or not to wake up in your dreams, and for a moment, I was confused.

I returned home with a decadent face, the house was already lit up with warm lights, as soon as I stepped into the house, I could smell the strong aroma of food, Liu Ruoxue held the child, saw me back, and walked towards me with a smile.

Fu Bao also saw me in her arms, and stretched out her little lotus root-like hand towards me, babbling and screaming.

Smiling, I handed the briefcase to Liu Ruoxue, hugged Fubao, and teased him.

The boy was very well-behaved, and whenever someone grimaced at him, he would babble and laugh over there, and his mouth would make a baba-like sound.

I kissed the child on the cheek, and since I knew that this was my hallucination, my heart felt as if it was suffocated by a cloth, and I couldn't tell how uncomfortable it was.

After bringing the last dish to the table, my mother looked at me and said, "Thirteen, go to the study and ask your father to come out for dinner." ”

Answered, hugged Fu Bao, and walked towards his father's study.

He was looking at the information on the computer with reading glasses, and when he saw me walking in with Fu Bao in his arms, he quickly stood up and took Fu Bao from my arms: "Why did you come in?" Are you ready to eat? ”

I wasn't in the mood to say anything more, just nodded, "Mom is calling us." ”

Dad seemed to see that my interest was not high: "What's the matter, is it because today's work is not going well?" ”

Dad is a scholar, one of the few people in our village who has gone to college, but for the sake of his childhood sweetheart's mother, he gave up the opportunity to take root in the first-tier city and chose to return to the village to face the loess.

He has a lot of big truths in his head, and many times, when I face something I don't understand, I like to talk to him.

Looking at my father, I scratched my head: "Dad, if one day, you find that the people around you are actually fake, they are all your own dreams, and the reality is extremely cruel, will you choose to continue to immerse yourself or return to reality." ”

Hearing my words, I obviously saw that my father's eyes changed slightly, but soon, he regained his previous smile, kind and kind: "People, isn't it just that you just have to be happy?" ”

"But ......"

I was about to speak, but my dad patted me on the shoulder: "Let's go eat first." ”

Do people really just need to be happy?

Back at the dinner table, everyone was talking and laughing, talking about what Fubao would become when he grew up, whether he would look like me or Liu Ruoxue in the future, and so on.

The whole time, I was silent, and finally I survived dinner, and I took a shower and lay down on the bed.

Liu Ruoxue and Fu Bao beside me were already asleep, but I couldn't fall asleep over and over, remembering that all the people in the village were still waiting for me, but they were all so ruthless, why should I sacrifice the happiness here to save them?

In my heart, heaven and man were at war, and in the end, I really couldn't sleep, and definitely went out for a cigarette.

When I opened the door to my room, I found that the light in the study was still on.

It's already one o'clock in the morning, and who else will be in the study?

Walking to the door of the study, I knocked lightly on the door, opened it, and found my father sitting at the door of the computer, holding a photo in his hand and staring blankly.

When he saw me come in, he raised his head and smiled, and beckoned to me: "You're here." ”

Walking up to my dad's side, I sat down and glanced at the photo in his hand, which showed my grandfather holding me as a child.

Not to mention, when I was a child, I was really two or three points similar to Fubao.

"Dad, why do you suddenly look at my childhood photos?"

Dad smiled and put down the photo: "Because Dad doesn't have a chance to take a good look at you." ”

I always feel that there seems to be some connotation in this sentence.

"Thirteen, you are also a father now, what kind of man do you want Fubao to become in the future?"

After thinking about it, I replied seriously: "I hope he becomes a good man who is responsible and responsible, and I don't expect him to be rich and rich in the future, anyway, as long as he is a person with a clear conscience and happy himself, it's good to be a parent, as long as his children are happy." ”

"Didn't you ask me in the afternoon, if everything around you is a dream, and the reality is too cruel, should you face it, your answer is my answer."

Dad looked at me, reached out and touched my face, there were slight tears flashing in his eyes: "As your father, I just want you to be happy, but as a villager of Baofeng Temple, I hope you can be a good man who is responsible." ”

My heart pounded, and I felt as if my father knew something.

My throat moved slightly, and I shouted with a slight tremble: "Dad...... You ......"

"I know that my family's thirteen have suffered."

At that moment, the wall that was originally called strong collapsed in an instant, and tears were like water that opened the floodgates, breaking through the eye sockets and spurting out.

I know I'm not a hero, and I'm not a master, but I've endured too much recently, nameless abuse, beatings, helplessness, etc., but I'm not qualified to cry, because no one knows how heavy my heart is, and I don't have time to cry, there are too many villagers waiting for me to save them, and I can only keep forcing myself to find a way.

Dad looked at me, reached out and grabbed me into his arms, and patted me on the head.

I smell a faint smell of earth on my father's body, and his body is also warm, why is such a person just an illusion?

"Thirteen, your mother and I have actually been by your side all the time, watching you and watching our family's Thirteen grow slowly."

At this time, I felt as if there was an extra hand on my head.

I raised my head with teary eyes, and I found that by my father's side, my mother was standing at some point, and her face was full of kind eyes, looking at me, as if she was looking at her world.

"Our thirteenth family is already an adult, we respect your choice, if you are willing to stay here with us, and if you are willing to go back to save the people in the village."

"I'm really tired."

Mom and Dad glanced at each other: "Everyone is born, God has given a certain task, people are tired, and they have the feeling of being alive, but Thirteen, if you stay, what will Uncle Cui and Aunt Cui do." ”

Wiping the runny nose, I was completely silent, Uncle Cui and Aunt Cui are really good to me, if I don't go back, what will they do?

The ghost aura in the village is too strong, even if it is an evil charm, I know that it won't last long, and Liu Ruoxue, I know that Liu Ruoxue here must be fake, and the real Liu Ruoxue must still be in the real world, will I just give up on him?

My head was messy, my brain was even more swollen, and even my eyes were red and swollen.

"Thirteen, do you choose to continue to escape, or do you choose to face it bravely?"

Dad pulled a fruit knife out of his pocket and handed it to me, smiling lovingly as usual.

My eyes turned red again, and I took the knife in his hand and took a deep breath: "Are you really by my side all the time?" ”

They smiled and nodded, then covered their hearts with their hands: "We've always been on your side. ”

Tears were red again, and I felt like I knew my choice, and I picked up the fruit knife and slashed at my neck.

The sharp pain and suffocation made my eyes darken, and as soon as my body went limp, I fell from my chair to the ground.

My vision gradually began to blur, my parents stood beside me, holding my hand, and before I lost consciousness completely, I heard what seemed to be whispering in my ear: "Thirteen, Mom and Dad will always love you." ”

A tear slipped through the corner of my eye.

I will always love you.

When I woke up again, I heard the voices of the Ninth Master, Yun Yi and Liu Ruoxue talking.

"Ninth Master, didn't you see Thirteen? Why don't you tell him everything and drag him out, so that this kid wakes up faster? ”

"Thirteen was brought into the illusion by the unjust soul, just like a sleepwalker, if he was woken up all at once, he would not be able to bear the memory of reality, and at least his soul would be damaged, and the latter would be killed on the spot, all I could do was knock on the side to make him wake up by himself."

I felt something warm gently wiping my face, and then, I heard Liu Ruoxue's voice: "I've been asleep all day, why haven't you woken up?" ”

"yes, this kid won't be immersed in that dream and won't wake up."

Yunyi's drunken and flirtatious voice made me feel the urge to beat him up.

It was the Ninth Master, who was not in a hurry, and said firmly: "No, Thirteen is not such an irresponsible person, he will not leave these villagers alone." ”

Actually, I really want to apologize to Jiu Ye, his words really overestimate me, if it weren't for Uncle Cui and Aunt Cui and them in real life, I would definitely fall into the arms of illusion without saying a word.

"I just heard Thirteen keep calling his parents, I must have dreamed of his parents."

"This is also possible, there are thousands of unjust souls that Wang Fugui has searched for from all over the world hidden in these white fogs, and there are also those from Baofeng Temple Village, and it is not surprising that Thirteen's parents are among them."

Liu Ruoxue suddenly gasped: "Isn't that thirteen even more reluctant to wake up?" ”

At this moment, the ninth master has nothing to say.

I felt that if I lay down like this any longer, it would only make them more worried, so I stopped pretending, moved my fingers slightly, and barely opened my eyes.

But I don't know if it's because I cried a lot in the illusion, I feel that my eyes are burning, very hot and painful.
