Chapter 205: The Past and Present of 'I' Act IV
Fifteen years ago, the first 'me'
In the Spiegel House, a man in his 50s and a young woman in her 20s hide in a newly built basement, which is under a side house, and no one notices them.
The young woman wears the uniform of a maid, but her real identity is not that of a maid, but of a man's dearest, a dear who has no special abilities, just like the man himself.
Now, they are discussing how to keep the 'muse' of dreams in the Spiegel House.
The words are always spoken by the man, and the woman is always silent, and her expression is disgusted, indicating that it is not that she has nothing to say, but that she does not want to speak.
All of this, the woman is extremely disgusted, but there is nothing she can do.
"She's reading in the study again, and she loves those books so much!" The man said, his words revealing anxiety: "But I can't see what kind of book she is reading?" ”
There was no answer, and the man walked up and down the ground, not looking at the open gap in the roof, where someone was hiding and eavesdropping. The study was not far from them, which was one of the reasons why the man was uneasy.
The woman was still there like a wooden man, and the man did not want her to talk much, and was very angry at her silence.
Growing up, this woman was just as annoying and irritating as her mother! If a man could have thought that the person he abandoned in the past could bring so much wealth, she would not abandon her and give birth to such a useless daughter with someone else!
But it's too late to say anything now, and men have mastered the lifeblood by their own means, so they must not let what they have in their hands be lost again.
The feeling of pressure on the top of the head, the fatigue of the body, and the disorder of gray brain cells make men completely unbearable to stay in this dull space. However, there is no place to discuss the matter at hand other than here.
The man looked at the woman as if he was going to burn two holes in her, he was waiting for the woman to throw off her armor, waiting for the woman to throw away all her disguises, crying and asking himself what to do next?
But what the man waited for was words that were contrary to his thoughts, and the woman said, "I also like to go to that study, but I can't see the dreams you need, and there is no way to make you get what you want." ”
"There's also blood flowing from her body, why can't you see it?" The man opened his mouth to ask, he knew the answer, but he still had to ask meaningless questions, because if he didn't ask these questions, he felt that he was about to collapse, and the years of depression made him unable to sleep steadily, and his usual behavior and attitude also obviously had a tendency to depression.
"You didn't tell anyone what you know, did you?" The man asked.
The woman shook her head silently, and the man continued: "They don't know about my relationship with you, it's good for you, and you are not allowed to go to that study in the future." The Spiegel House has just been built, and she's the hostess here, and you're not! ”
"So what am I? It's a poor little girl who was taken in by you, sold, and destitute, isn't it? For the first time, the woman summoned up the courage and raised her voice to the man, but the man was visibly indifferent. He even put his finger to his lips, still signaling the woman to speak softer.
Finally controlling her tears, the woman lowered her head and continued to listen to the words that disgusted her. She knows what men think, and she knows the answers to their questions. It's just that she didn't control her emotions all of a sudden, and asked questions that shouldn't be asked, and the woman felt a wave of chagrin flowing in her heart.
She forced her mind to go back in time, to the time when her relatives were still around to take care of her. The gentle mother, the familiar alley, and the old woman who sells cold noodles. Although many, many years have passed, these people are still as clear in women's hearts as they were yesterday.
In the end, the woman remembered the little worker who had come to decorate the house, which was the only happiness she could grasp now, and in silence, the woman began to have her own calculations. Since you must stay in this birdcage-like mirror house, then, stay with him.
But how do you stay together? Not to say that men would never agree to outsiders intervening in the house, and even small workers would not want to lose their freedom. It was so hard that the woman closed her eyes, and the pain in her heart was spilling out little by little, until her ears automatically ignored the man's words......
The second 'I'
The girl's father's name is Anze, and since she came to this family, Anze has become the only relative in her life, and her impression of her mother is extremely vague, because her mother has long since left home, leaving them alone.
Anze said that the girl was a quiet and almost weird child, and he always called him Xiao An, or Less. The woman doesn't know where the title "less than" comes from, but in her selfish heart she likes it a lot.
The study had been remodeled, and the teenage girl liked to stay there very much, and Anze never prescribed anything else she could or couldn't do except always ask about the content of the dream. So the girl always stays in the study all day long.
But no matter how comfortable the days are, they will always get tired, and the girl begins to get tired of dreaming, tired of endless inquiries, and wants to go to the outside world to see. Because of these emotions, the girl gradually couldn't sleep at night, and even if she dreamed, it was a mess. I couldn't see the scene that Anze wanted her to see.
But she didn't want to see her father always depressed and decadent, so she did her best to find books about them, so that she could imagine things she didn't like, so that she could have more dreams at night. The girl believes in the truth that she thinks about it day and dreams at night, but the more she believes it, the more her and An Ze's hopes are disappointed.
In the end, Anze finally realized that the girl was no longer of any value. The girl still naively thought that she could go back to live in the city.
"Daddy, can we go home?"
“……”
"Dad, why don't you answer my question?"
"Daddy......"
No matter how much he called, he couldn't bring back the slightest pity of the so-called father. Cruelty and cruelty, two words with similar meanings, are very different at this moment. One is that I have to accept the endgame and endure the pain that life brings. The other is unwilling to abandon the endgame and use ruthlessness to destroy the fate of others.
"This is our home, don't go anywhere in the future, just stay here!"
Anze was referring not only to the Spiegel House, but also to the little room where the girl was staying at the moment, in a dark place with many curving corridors, and to pass through a beautifully decorated stairwell before coming here.
For many years after that, the girl never left the place, his only companions were two black notebooks, every day, the girl recorded the bits and pieces of her life, and on the title page of the notebook, often dripping with the girl's tears.
The girl gradually began to become obsessed with sleeping, hoping that one day when he woke up, everything would change with the mountain breeze outside the Spiegel......
The third 'I'
In the season when it was not too cold, middle-aged women always liked to lean on the edge of the ruins left after the fire, thinking about the people and things of the past.
Her surname is Yu, and she comes from the family behind that An Ze, and everything in this family was ruined by An Ze, including the middle-aged woman herself.
She had forgotten when she decided to go up the mountain, maybe it was the moment when the Spiegel House was built, maybe not. Anyway, as a mother, she still had to come. Of course An Ze recognized her, and it was impossible for her to break down the relationship between the two in the future. Because of this, Anze agreed to let her stay in the Spiegel House.
Here she witnesses all the conspiracies and sins, some of which are conspiracies but not evil, and the woman can decide with her conscience whether to hide them or not. There are also some sins that have become irreparable, and women do not want them to affect their future children. Finally, the woman thinks that no matter whether it is a conspiracy or a crime, it should not be known, so she makes up her mind not to confide in half a word.
The ruins were kept under the cliffs, and the women had room to be alone. She didn't know how many years she would have to endure the cold storm and snow in the future before all the children could get out of the Spiegel House. And in front of women, there is a more serious problem, that is, the greed that children gradually develop.
There is nothing wrong with it, some of those children have already begun to covet the secrets of dreams, and want to make a fortune and gain fame and fortune like An Ze did at the beginning.
But the woman knew in her heart that sin would be accompanied by greed, and she was not even sure if she could prevent new sin from happening before her children were fully grown!
There are also Xiao Xiao and Xiao Heng, these two children don't let her worry, how did that kind of love come about? There is no way for a woman to understand in this life. Love that goes against common sense only brings pain.
Whenever she thinks of Xiao Xiao and Xiao Heng, women will definitely think of Yu Ze and Yu Qia, for women, among the two people, Yu Ze can be trusted more. And Yu Cha, in his early years, had nothing to do with Spiegel, although women could still see him from time to time, there was almost no communication between the two, and he was no different from a stranger.
——
The three 'I's', representing women of all three ages, have all experienced the fire 15 years ago.
Fifteen years ago, the first woman was in her twenties, and it was clear that she had been at the mercy of others, could not reveal her identity, and had never been happy in life. The second woman was only a teenager, she was supposed to be the one who had dreams, but in the end, because of persecution and loss of freedom, the dreams dried up, and she was also imprisoned by An Ze on the third floor of the treacherous house.
The third woman has long passed the age of her establishment, she is the freest one, she can go in and out of the treacherous house master house and the side house at will, and she also knows the two brothers Yu Ze and Yucha. This woman is kind, she holds the truth of the past in her hands, and she wants to do everything in her power to protect the children associated with the treacherous house.
Here, we also know a clue, that is, the family that carries the mystery of An Ze's entire dream realm is absolutely inseparable from Yu Ze Yucha.
