"There is no real time in this world that is only real once, and there is no real place that is real only once." As the yolk said this, I was lying on the floor, staring at an abrupt depression in the upper left corner of the ceiling.

"It was like I had a dream." I say.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

I looked at the door, and my body didn't move.

Ding-dong-ding-dong.

"It could be takeaway." The egg yolk said lazily.

I jumped up and picked it up and walked towards the door, the egg yolk hanging in the air and struggling and roaring: "Let Lao Tzu come down!" ”

I opened the door, and there was a well-groomed but tired-looking middle-aged man standing outside the door.

"Looking for Liu Su's cat?" I asked.

Lu Ye nodded dumbly.

"Haunted by nightmares?"

Lu Ye nodded blankly again.

"That girl's name is Xiaohua?"

Lu Ye suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud and knocked his head twice. "Master, I beg you to save me."

I fixed my eyes on the yolk and waited for it to come up with an explanation.

The egg yolk rolled his eyes at me: "The past of time and the future of time, those things that will happen and those that have happened, are all pointing to an end, and that end is the present." ”

"Speak human words."

"Meow."

I'm angry.

Lu Ye was still kneeling on the ground, a little dazed and at a loss. Looked at the cat, then at me, at the cat.

I sighed and invited him in.

……

Everything was over again and we were back in that rental house.

Lu Ye looked at the eyes, showing a ghostly expression, and was just about to open his mouth and start shouting: "This ......" I quickly covered his mouth.

"Don't shout, go downstairs and pack your luggage in a while, and leave under the pretext of sending the bicycle, and I will take you to find Xiaohua." I said to him.

Lu Ye looked at me in horror and nodded vigorously. I let go of my hand, patted him on the shoulder, gave him a look of care, picked up the cat and went downstairs first.

"Tell me, what's going on?" In the process of waiting for Lu Ye, I finally had time to squat down and ask the egg yolk about the cause and effect. "No big deal. As you can see, Lao Tzu is a very capable cat. The egg yolk squatted on the ground, looking arrogant.

"Okay", I nodded resignedly. According to the cat's virtues, even if I continue to ask how it can travel through time and the like, nine out of ten will pull out a bunch of metaphysical philosophical theories for me.

"Then tell me what's going on with Lu Ye, why doesn't he remember that he came to me before?" I asked.

The yolk glanced at me, as if judging my IQ.

"To put it simply, we used to take Lu Ye from time and space A to temporarily replace Lu Ye from time and space B to save Xiaohua's death. But Lu Ye in time and space A did not succeed in saving it, and Xiaohua still died in the end, so Lu Ye in time and space B was troubled by the same kind again, so he came to us again. ”

I read it silently, and I seemed to understand, but I didn't seem to understand. "Then where did Lu Ye, who had the memories of time and space A, go?"

"He may have been in the past, or at the moment of knocking on the door, or perhaps he had gone to the future, to die. It's just that you won't see him again. Egg yolk said.

"Why?" Sure enough, I asked the idiot's question anyway.

The egg yolk also really showed the eyes of an idiot. "Because we have changed the course of events by going back to A's past tense, and once things change, there is no way to go back to the same future. Even if time continues to move forward, it already exists in another plane. ”

All right. I kind of understood. All in all, if we don't save Xiaohua's death, Lu Ye will keep knocking on the door, and I won't be able to wait for my takeaway.

I stood up and decided to do it quickly. Since we already have the experience of the last time, we can go directly to Xiaohua this time, and it will save a lot of trouble.

Lu Ye trotted towards me, his face full of fear of fleeing.

"Why are you so afraid of your wife?" On the way to Xiaohua with Lu Ye, I couldn't help but ask.

Lu Ye shrunk his neck with a deep face, and was silent.

"If you have something unspeakable, it's okay if you don't say it." I looked at his expression as if he was ready to be righteous, and hurriedly found him a step down. After all, living at such an old age, who can still have some ulterior privacy or something.

Lu Ye looked at me and seemed a little jealous. The fingers of his two hands were tangled and twisted together until the knuckles turned white, and only then did he close his eyes and sigh heavily, as if he had finally made up his mind: "She...... Domestic violence. ”

……

Lu Ye has always felt that a man was subjected to domestic violence, and it was quite embarrassing for this to get out.

The first domestic violence was shortly after they arrived in the United States. One day An didn't have class and stayed at home to sleep, and before Lu Ye went out, An asked him to go to the supermarket to buy toilet paper when he came back.

Lu Ye agreed, but because he came back too late, he accidentally forgot about it. When I went to the toilet at night, I found that the toilet paper was used up, and at this time the supermarket was already closed, and it was too late to go out and buy it now. So when An got out of the toilet, he began to accuse Lu Ye fiercely, scolding him for being a waste, and he couldn't even do this little thing.

Lu Ye was also very aggrieved when he heard his wife's accusation like this, and refuted a few words, but he didn't expect to get an scratch and tear in exchange.

It is said that domestic violence is only once and countless times.

Later, Lu Ye began to be beaten often. Ann told him to wash the dishes, and he was about to be beaten if he rubbed a little; The time is set to go home, and he will be beaten if he comes back late; During the days when Ann was weak, he didn't take care of him well enough and had to be beaten twice.

After a long time, Lu Ye's whole spirit became a little sluggish. I was depressed all day long, sighing. Because of the strict security management, in the end, even his social circle was gradually lost, and he only circled around An alone every day.

But even so, Ann was not satisfied. pinched and twisted him at every turn, and constantly verbally humiliated him for being a soft eater, laughing at him for not being manly.

When Lu Ye said this, his eyes revealed a deep sadness and horror.

"My life is over." He said.

"In that case, why don't you get a divorce?"

Lu Ye smiled bitterly and shook his head: "She's right, I was originally climbing high branches and eating soft rice." When I was in the United States, I relied on her for everything and didn't dare to divorce, and then I returned to China and had a child and a career, but I couldn't get a divorce. Besides, she is beautiful and capable, and after the divorce, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a wife as good as her, maybe no one is perfect......"

Lu Ye's voice drifted in the wind, like a desperate sigh.

"At no time can one love others by lowering oneself. There is no reason in this world for one man to kneel before another, not in the name of love. The yolk suddenly spoke.
