Chapter 9: Human Nature
After listening to Lu Zhen's series of questions, I couldn't help but let out a "ah" and leaned heavily into the chair.
I have experienced strange things before, but this time, I feel a fantasy that I have never experienced before.
I just went to Sanyi Garden, where I not only met Xu Ronghua and Lu Zhen, but also had a very strange conversation with Xu Ronghua.
However, that was only what I saw through the Six Senses Ecstasy Array, what happened in the Sanyi Garden on that night thirteen years ago.
In other words, in reality, as Lu Zhen said, I was just a hairy child at that time, and I didn't really go to Sanyi Garden that night, so it was impossible to have a real meeting with her.
However, Lu Zhen actually said that she had really met me!
The most convincing evidence of this is that I have pretended to be a prophet in front of her and Xu Ronghua out of anger!
Lu Zhen was silent for a while in front of me, and suddenly raised her eyebrows and asked me:
"I saw not only you that night, but also your mother's daughter, who was the big fat man with you that time, who was injured in his right hand?"
This question undoubtedly seemed like another bombshell to me.
'My mother's daughter', of course, refers to Sang Lan.
The fat man with an injury to his right hand is, of course, Shi Fatzi.
Lu Zhen didn't enter the Tomb of the Living Dead with us one hundred percent, but in her memory, she had not only seen Sang Lan, but also Shi Fatzi......
I was speechless, and my mind was full of thoughts, which was completely illogical.
Perhaps because of occupational diseases, compared to my shock and doubts, Lu Zhen chose a more direct way of exploration.
She looked directly at me across the table, as if trying to see through what was going on in my heart:
"You told me that I would have my own office in the future and that I would name it after myself, and it turned out to be true. You said that Ronghua would die in a hotel room with a man and a woman, naked...... This is also true! Since you know he's going to die, why don't you find a way to save him? He's your father! ”
Lu Zhen raised her voice, looking very excited.
I really didn't know how to answer her, so I managed to calm my mind and tried to ask her, "Don't you think it's normal for you to have this memory?" ”
I say this because I feel that Lu Zhen has somewhat lost her mind.
It's not her to blame, when anyone suddenly encounters this kind of thing, their first reaction will naturally focus on the people they care about, and ignore other details.
Lu Zhen reacted the same as I did just now, sat back in the chair, and leaned back on the back of the chair as if she had lost her strength, with only one expression on her face - doubt.
Looking at her slightly reddened eyes, I vaguely thought of the point, and tried to ask her again:
"When you saw me before, you didn't ask me this, when did you remember to see me?"
Lu Zhen's eyes slowly moved, holding her forehead with one hand, and said distressedly:
"I must be crazy, it's just a dream...... But why is it so real in the dream, as if it really happened? ”
"Dreaming?" I still can't grasp the point, but I feel that I am getting closer to the truth.
Lu Zhen nodded, opened a drawer, took out a pack of women's cigarettes, and took out one and put it in her mouth.
After a moment, he said, "Yes, it's a dream." I hadn't slept well for the past two days, and when I did, it was as if I had gone back to that night thirteen years ago, and experienced the events of that night again. The difference is that in the dream, there are a few more people I shouldn't have seen, and something happens that makes me unable to tell whether it is real or hallucinating. ”
Sun Lu patted my arm across the chair, leaned his head over, and whispered to me:
Could it be that she also had a part of her consciousness left in Sanyi Garden back then? Now that the tomb of the living dead has been destroyed, her consciousness has returned? ”
I nodded slightly, as an insider, Sun Tuzi went with me.
The engagement banquet thirteen years ago was calm on the surface, but in fact it was a hidden mystery.
To be sure, consciousness, as an 'abstract' thing, can be separated from each other.
It's not hard to understand this.
For example, some people will have amnesia, but because of an accident, the lost memory will suddenly return.
It is difficult to say whether this is due to the fact that a part of consciousness is detached from the ontology and returns after wandering outside for a while.
As medical students, Sun Lu and I seem to be more receptive to this explanation.
It's just that what happened to Lu Zhen seems to be even more special.
That is, the consciousness she broke away from, after returning, seemed to bring her a part of the message that should not belong to her.
Having figured this out, I'm not going to ink any more.
Because, I don't think this is a question that should be discussed at the moment, and I don't think this strange consciousness will have a great impact on Lu Zhen.
Therefore, I covered everything up and asked Lu Zhen directly:
"Lawyer Lu, I came to you this time to take a look at the Xu family's old house."
I added that I just wanted to take a look at it, not to regret it and get the house back.
But I didn't expect that Lu Zhen's response greatly surprised me.
She stared at me for a moment, and an inscrutable look suddenly flashed in her eyes, "It wasn't a dream, it was all real." There's something hidden in that house! ”
I was stunned, and when I reacted, I immediately thought that something was wrong.
There are things left to me by my grandfather in the old house, which Xu Ronghua told me alone, how could Lu Zhen know?
Moreover, when she speaks of 'things', her tone and eyes are very unusual.
Sun Lu suddenly leaned his head over again and whispered in my ear:
"I think we are wrong this time, look at her appearance, what kind of treasure do you think your master left you, she wants a piece of the pie."
Sun Tuzi's words fully confirmed the saying 'the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear'.
Just after he whispered to me, Lu Zhen followed up and asked me, "What is that thing?" ”
At this time, there was already a bit of greed in her eyes.
I was a little surprised at first, but I was soon relieved.
No one is a sage or bodhisattva, who doesn't want to take advantage of the benefits?
Lu Zhen is a lawyer and an ordinary person, not to mention, the house still belongs to her.
To be exact, whatever is in the house, when I give up the inheritance of the house, it will be hers.
In addition, I also wondered why Lu Zhen knew that there were 'things' hidden in the old house.
What she left in the Sanyi Garden was consciousness, which naturally could not be measured with common sense. Perhaps when Xu Ronghua took me aside and said 'whispering' to me, she had already sensed the content of the conversation between us, as the consciousness that she had stayed in the abandoned building with Xu Ronghua for thirteen years.
I didn't want to delay any longer, and said bluntly to Lu Zhen that it was indeed possible that my grandfather had left something for me in the old house, but I didn't know what it was. As the owner of the house, she could go with me in search of something like that. Of course, I don't think it's anything of value.
"Whether it's worth the money or not, you'll find out when you go see it." Lu Zhen got up suddenly, supporting the desk with one hand, but her face showed a look of embarrassment.
"What's the problem?" I don't like this greedy woman much anymore.
Lu Zhen rubbed her eyebrows, her eyes flickered a little and said, "That house was sold not long ago." ”
"Sold?" I was dumbfounded, "Sold to?" ”
"Du Hanzhong, Boss Du's wife." Lu Zhen bit her lip, "Hao Xiangrou." ”
