Everyone has had nightmares, but no matter how horrible the dreams are, they will eventually wake up.

Jia Sheng had done that nightmare countless times, but every time, he could wake up sweating profusely under the reminder of the alarm. His wife, who didn't know the source of his nightmares, always thought that he was disturbed by work and was under great psychological pressure. Only Jia confessed that his nightmare had nothing to do with his job, his business.

As he had done many times before, he broke free from his nightmare with deep exhaustion and fear, and sat up gasping for breath.

"Water!"

With his eyes closed, he tugged at the collar with his hand and reached to the right. This time, however, no water cup was handed over.

"Water!"

He shouted impatiently, opened his eyes, and found that the sides of the bed were empty, even the bedside table was empty.

Jia Sheng had a nameless fire in his heart, he lifted the quilt, got out of bed angrily, and his eyes fell on the photo hanging on the opposite wall, and he calmed down instantly. In the photo, her daughter Ning Ning smiled happily.

Forget it, my daughter just left, and my wife is feeling uncomfortable, so it's normal to ignore him.

He bent down and pulled out the slippers that had been kicked under the bed, but his wife's laughter was heard in his ears.

Laughter?

Shouldn't it be crying?

He clearly remembered what his wife looked like when his daughter was buried yesterday.

Frowning, he walked out of the bedroom and into the living room, where he found his sad wife sitting at the dining table happily talking to his daughter's classmates. The boy named Xu Shaoyuan looks very energetic, and there are even some shadows of his youth in his eyebrows and eyes. He looked at his silhouette, and in a trance, he had the feeling of seeing himself.

The boy seemed to notice his gaze, and pretended to look at him. In the early morning sun, his face was still white and unnatural, and his eyes lacked the luster that a young man should have, like the eyes of a dead man, dull and dull. The corners of his mouth were raised, as if he was smiling. But what is he laughing at? Was it funny what the wife had just said to her?

He coughed softly, and his wife turned her head quickly, and he found that there was no smile on her face.

"Water, you forgot to put water on me."

"I'm sorry." The wife got up in a hurry and poured him a glass of cold water.

Ever since the nightmare, he didn't like hot things, didn't like to drink hot water, and started using cold water for hot meals and even bathing. His wife persuaded him at first, but he quarreled loudly with her, and later, seeing that he was fine, he left it to him.

He sat down at the table with a glass of water and found that there was nothing on the table except fruit.

"What were you guys talking about?"

"Nothing." As if his wife was reluctant to talk to him, she got up and went to the kitchen: "Shaoyuan, is it okay to drink porridge in the morning?" ”

"Anything is fine." Xu Shaoyuan replied, but his gaze remained fixed on Jia Sheng's face.

"What was Uncle Jia's original name?"

"What?"

"Has a former name, did Uncle Jia also have a former name?" Xu Shaoyuan asked quietly, but his eyes were very weird.

"No, I only have one name."

"Really? I thought that people in that era liked to call it nation-building, construction, peace, or something. The corners of Xu Shaoyuan's mouth rose slightly: "Like my biological father, his original name is Jianguo." ”

"Really?" Jia Sheng pulled the corners of his mouth unnaturally: "The characteristics of a certain era." ”

"My biological father, his original name was Jia Jianguo." Xu Shaoyuan leaned forward: "Later, because of business, he changed his name to Jia Sheng." Later, he met my mother, but he hid the fact that he was married, had a family, and had children. In today's words, my mother was a junior. But at that time, information was not as developed as it is now, and my mother was an extremely simple and deceitful woman, and she actually fantasized that my biological father would take her home to meet her parents, marry her, form a family with her, and have children with her. As a result, even his life was almost buried in the hands of that man. ”

The cup in Jia Sheng's hand fell to the ground with a "snap".

"My mother has a fold in her hand, which I gave to her on the bus. Those are my mother's dowry. She didn't hide anything from my biological father, and after the two of them got along, she told him that she had a passbook in her hand. My biological father didn't care about it originally, maybe he also had feelings for my mother at the beginning, maybe he really thought about marrying my mother, thinking that after the two of them got married, the fold would naturally be his, until he saw the amount on the fold, which was a number that was easy to make people feel at the time. Love is beautiful, but in front of interests, farts are not. Ever since my biological father saw that fold, his heart was in turmoil, and little by little it was occupied by the devil. He wants to monopolize that fold. ”

"Who are you? Who are you? You can't know me, you can't know this? Jia Sheng stood up in a panic, swept his hand to the table, and knocked off the things on it, but strangely, his wife did not respond.

"He originally wanted to get rid of my mother quietly, and before he started his own business, he ran a sales pitch selling medicines. He knew that there was a medicine that, taken consistently, could gradually eat away at a person's body. He bought back the medicine, changed the packaging, lied that it was a health care product and nutritional product for my mother, and coaxed my mother to eat it every day.

One morning, my mom, as usual, got up to comb her hair and started combing her hair, when a wave of pain hit her. She subconsciously held her head with her hands, and when the pain disappeared and the comb fell out of her hand, she realized that there was a lot of hair wrapped around the comb.

She panicked, threw away her comb, ran to the bedroom, and woke up my biological father, who was still asleep. The man knew it, but he pretended to be concerned and took my mother into his arms. He said the most vicious words with the most hypocritical face, and he deliberately induced my mother that her symptoms were very similar to cancer.

It can't be denied that those symptoms are really similar, even now, if I ask Du Niang, I will believe Du Niang's judgment about cancer. He deliberately took my mom to the hospital, which he had previously worked with with his company, and after the doctor did a full body examination of my mom, he told her that there was something wrong with her body. As for what the problem was, the doctor did not say, but told her that she still needed to wait for further confirmation in the report. These uncertain words, combined with the symptoms I saw with my own eyes and the deliberate inducement of my biological father, made my mother mistakenly believe that she really had cancer and was at an advanced stage.

My biological father is really good at observing women's psychology, and he deliberately put on an affectionate appearance, saying that he was smashing pots and selling iron to see my mother. I also deliberately took my mother to the cancer ward, saying that she would see how those patients fought against cancer and how they won.

In the fight against cancer, there are always fewer winners and more losers, and what my mother sees is the pain of patients, the various side effects and pain they have after taking drugs. She didn't dare to face it, so she chose to flee home, and my biological father offered to take her out for a walk, and said that he would marry her when he came back. He told my mother that no matter what she went through in the future, no matter what she had to face in the future, and how long the days remained, he would be by her side, from birth to death. ”

With Xu Shaoyuan's narration, Jia Sheng's face turned pale.

"I have to say that my biological father is really good at demagogy, and my mother really followed him. As a result, he took advantage of my mother's view of the scenery and pushed her off the cliff, and if it weren't for the old pine tree halfway up the mountain, my mother's bones would have been gone. ”

"What did you say?"

"Surprised, isn't it? Surprised, isn't it? Yes, she didn't die, the poor woman who was pushed off the cliff by you and was pregnant with Rokko didn't die. She was first caught by an old pine tree halfway up the mountain, and then met a farmer who was collecting medicine, and she was rescued. Also, the farmer's surname is Xu, and my surname is Xu, and my mother said, let me always remember this man who gave us a second life. Oh, and also, when I met my mom, he was unmarried and my father. ”

"Your mom is married?"

"Fake marriage, after I was born, they separated. Uncle Xu is a good man, he knows my mother's difficulties and volunteered to be my nominal father for a year. Later, he was worried that my mother would be gossiped about after the divorce, so he deliberately pretended that he had betrayed the marriage, and after deliberately acting in a scene, he disappeared from the world of our mother and son.

Of course, he didn't get nothing, my mother used my grandfather's relationship to find Uncle Xu a relatively stable job. A few years later, he met a gentle and kind woman with whom he formed a family. We all knew each other's news, but neither of us bothered anyone.

Oh, and I'm going to get away from it. My mom is alive, and I'm alive, but because of my biological father, because he deliberately gave my mom those medicines, she has been plagued by a very serious headache all these years. As for me, thanks to my biological father, I have a problem here. The doctor said that the problems here are both congenital and acquired. Uncle Jia, do you think that I am more congenital or more acquired? ”

"Who the hell are you?" Jia Sheng's psychological defense began to crumble.

"Who am I, Uncle Jia, you still don't know, don't you understand?" Xu Shaoyuan took out his mobile phone and called up a photo to show Jia Sheng.

That face, the face that had haunted him for so many years, finally appeared.

"Nope! It's fake, it's all fake, it must be a dream, it must be a nightmare, I'm going to wake up, I'm going to wake up! ”

"You can't wake up!" Xu Shaoyuan stood up, "You hurt my mother and hurt me, but you want to be famous, profitable, have a family, be happy, why not?" Uncle Jia, Jia Sheng, or Comrade Jia Jianguo, everyone is responsible for what they have done. You, too, are no exception. ”
