Chapter 48: Perception
In the inky night, the crescent moon hid behind the dark clouds, and only a candle flickered in the room.
Wen Huan entered the study of Wuliuju, and after the doors and windows were closed, there was silence in the room.
He walked to his desk and paused for a long time before he said to his grandfather, "I have heard that a person who is seriously ill has a weak soul, and is most likely to see things that he should not see, so that his soul is in turmoil, not as it used to be. These days look much the same as before, except for occasional strangeness. I know she's a stranger, but I'm just worried about whether she's taking her nightmare as real......"
He hadn't heard of such examples.
Two years ago, something similar happened in a place called Shimizu Village on the outskirts of Kyoto. The young son of a family surnamed Li died five years ago, and five years later, the child of their neighbor's family was playing in the river and accidentally fell into the river. However, when he woke up again, he always thought that he was the youngest son of the Li family who died five years ago.
In the end, the reason was just because of the nightmare he had experienced when he was seriously ill.
But how can the things in dreams be true?
Old Lady Wen frowned and said, "Zi is silent, and his power is confused. ”
That being said, Old Lady Wen obviously looked like she was thinking down from Wen Huan's words.
Things that are beyond the reach of human beings are often rumored to be the hands of gods and ghosts.
Otherwise, how would they explain that the little girl who gets along day and night will have such a big change in an instant.
Wen Huan told Mrs. Wen what happened in Qingshui Village, he wanted to ask his grandfather what he thought, but he didn't expect to be asked by his grandfather first.
"Do you know what happened to that kid in Shimizu Village?" Old Lady Wen touched her beard, and after thinking for a moment, she asked.
It's just that Wen Huan didn't know about this.
Earlier, when he first heard about Qingshui Village, he just listened to it as a strange thing and satisfied his curiosity, so he didn't continue to get to the bottom of it. If it weren't for the fact that a few days ago, he was distressed by the changes in Ah Yu, and he would not have thought about the matter of Qingshui Village again.
When Old Lady Wen saw that he was silent for a long time, he understood that he was also unaware.
He called Chang De, who was guarding the door, in, and instructed him to arrange for someone to investigate the incident in Qingshui Village early tomorrow morning, and the cause and effect should be clearly investigated.
After Changde exited the door, the room was quiet for a moment.
Wen Huan asked Mrs. Wen in a low voice: "Grandfather, what will happen to Ah Yu in the future?" ”
Old Lady Wen sighed and said, "We don't know what caused the change in Ah Yu at the moment, even if we ask in person, Ah Yu is unlikely to say it." You and Ah Yu are the same mother, and she listens to you the most on weekdays, so you can look at her more in the future and see if you can find out something! ”
Speaking of this, Old Lady Wen couldn't help but think about what Ah Yu did after waking up, and suddenly found that something was wrong.
"Ah Yu has always been the most homesick, and he easily does not like to stay elsewhere, and the days he goes out do not exceed five days. In the past, she didn't want to study at the White Horse Academy, and it was because of this, but now she did write to me and said that she wanted to study at the White Horse Academy with you? ”
The old lady was full of doubts.
Judging from Ah Yu's usual behavior, she does not see herself as an outsider like the child in Qingshui Village.
It's just that if she was really trapped by the nightmare, then what did she see in the nightmare, that she would rather live alone in another courtyard than live at home for a long time?
Wen Huan didn't want to return: "Isn't that because my grandfather promised the relative of the second aunt's family to go to the clan to study!" Ah Yu said that she didn't like that person, and she felt upset when she was in the same room, so she didn't want to study at the White Horse Academy! ”
His unthinking answer made Old Lady Wen frown.
"If I remember correctly, the child of the Xi family went to the Wen Mansion after Ah Yu contracted the wind and cold. Ah Yu had seen her before, so why did she ......" Old Lady Wen thought for a moment, and then asked Wen Huan, "Besides this, do you know what happened to Ah Yu recently that is not similar to before he was infected with wind and cold?" ”
No, this question is a bit difficult to answer.
For Wen Huan, it is common for little girls' minds to change every day.
Take Ah Yu as an example, before she contracted the wind cold, she often liked something today, and she didn't like it in a few days.
It was really difficult for him to find out the unusual performance in such a common thing.
At this moment, Wen Huan glanced around and caught a glimpse of the invitation on his grandfather's desk.
The signature of the invitation is the Duan family.
This made Wen Huan think of something again.
He hesitated for a while, and said slowly: "There are still a lot of things that are not similar, but there is only one thing that impresses me deeply." ”
Old lady Wen: "What's the matter?" ”
"In the past, Ah Yu played better with Duan Yuzhi of the Duan family, but this time after she got well, she didn't like Duan Yuzhi very much." Wen Huan shook his head, his eyes full of dislike for Duan Yuzhi, "But it's not to blame us Ah Yu." ”
"When Ah Yu was seriously ill, even the people of the Xie family had sent a lot of medicinal materials for the sake of our two family being world friends, and Xie Huaining also took Xie Huai'an to visit in person. Only that Duan Yuzhi has not heard from him since he heard that Ah Yu was sick. It wasn't until Ah Shen recovered many days later that he brought things to the door, and the people in their family were too heavy-minded, and most of the time they were mercenary, and I don't know what my father and mother thought, so I asked Ah Yu to recognize that Mrs. Duan as her stepmother......"
Wen Huan said that later, he couldn't help but deviate a little from the topic.
He has always had a bad impression of the Duan family, in the past, Duan Yuzhi often dangled in front of Ah Yuzhi, and he seemed to be a little sincere, so that he thought that Duan Yuzhi was different from the Duan family next to him, maybe it would be a good one.
didn't think about it, after Ah Yu was sick, that period of Yuzhi was completely revealed.
Old lady Wen looked at the invitation from the Duan family, but what she was thinking about was the letter that Master Wen San gave him a few days ago.
His heart was particularly uncomfortable.
"Now that the matter of recognizing relatives has been decided, there is no need to say more." Old lady Wen said lightly, and took the invitation card on the table to Wen Huan, "The Duan family has already set a date for the recognition banquet, and you will tell her when you send Ah Yu to the academy tomorrow." ”
Wen Huan knew that his grandfather didn't want to say any more, so he said goodbye.
He came out of Wuliuju, and the crescent moon in the sky had already peeked out from behind the dark clouds, and the soft moonlight sprinkled on the earth, but where the moonlight could not reach, it was gloomy.
