Chapter 4, Strange Morning

School started again, and He Niannian was in the second year of junior high school.

At seven o'clock in the morning, she got up to go to school, the sky was overcast, I don't know if it was going to rain, she took out her raincoat from the room where she kept her miscellaneous things and put it in her school bag, and then went out to school.

Hejiazhuang Township Middle School is located on the eastern edge of their village, and was originally built to facilitate the children of the surrounding ten villages to go to school.

There are a total of ten villages in their township, and the school is built in the east of Hejiazhuang Village, not far from He Niannian's home, and it takes half an hour to walk.

She walked on a dirt road, on the right side of the road is a house, on the left is a canal used to discharge floodwater, on the left side of the canal is a two-lane road, occasionally passing a bicycle on the road, in the current era there are not many cars, even fewer people drive in the countryside, usually people are a bicycle with a girder, and rich people are tricycles or tractors that pull things.

He Niannian walked on the path, this road is not long, one end of the road and another path intersect to form a relatively wide road, just when she was about to walk to the road, suddenly there was a white fog in the sky, the fog became thicker and thicker, and after a while, the surrounding scenery was covered, and she had to stop.

When the fog faded, there was a faint cry in my ears, and when it became clear in front of me, the fog dispersed and the cry became louder.

He Niannian looked forward, he was so frightened that he trembled, his face turned white, how could there be so many people lying on the ground covered with white cloth, someone wearing filial piety clothes kneeling on the ground and covering his face and crying, the path that was about to be completed was extended indefinitely, and both sides of the road were lined up with people lying in white cloth.

He Niannian is no longer a child, and he has also been to see the funeral where someone in the village died, and the current situation is obviously that there are a lot of dead people.

She was so frightened that she spread her legs and ran forward, and the sky began to float white round paper money, and in the middle of the paper was a round hole like a square, which at first just fell one by one, and then scattered to the earth like snowflakes.

He Niannian didn't know how far she had run, and when her eyes were full of fluttering paper money, she stopped, and the people on the side of the road disappeared, and the path became a land without width and length, and the sky was sprinkled with white paper money, and the ground was already covered with a thick layer.

He Niannian ran out with a thought now, quickly ran out, she ran forward without direction, and turned into it when she saw a fork in the road, but she was greeted by countless white paper money, when she didn't know how many roads she had changed, the scenery in front of her finally changed, water, all the water as far as the eye could see, she looked into the distance in a daze, there was no road ahead, what should she do? Ran back, but she was scared.

"Niannian, niannian." I don't know where the voice called for her came from, He Niannian looked around blankly, until a hand slapped her on the shoulder, she was scared, the surrounding scenery disappeared, and she stood on the path to school.

Her tablemate Li Jie was looking at her worriedly, "Niannian, why are you standing here in a daze?" ”

Yes? He Niannian found that she had been standing still, surrounded by the scenery she was familiar with, there were no corpses and paper money, she wiped her face, "At the same table, did you see anything just now?" ”

"When I walked to the intersection, I saw you standing in a daze, shouting that you would ignore me." Li Jie has a very strange look on his face. "Let's go, I'll take you to school, it's too late."

After speaking, he pulled He Niannian to the intersection and let her sit in the back of the car.

He Niannian sat in the back seat and looked back at the road she had walked before, as if everything she had experienced before was her fantasy.

Did you imagine it yourself? He Niannian retracted his gaze and slowly put this matter in his heart.

When He Niannian came back with nearby classmates after school at noon, the road was very normal, and there were no strange scenery.

When I got home, Xiao's mother had already cooked the meal, and when her daughter came back, she looked a little wrong, wilted, and did not have the usual liveliness.

Xiao's mother motioned for her husband to ask.

"Niannian, what's wrong, did you encounter difficulties in studying, or did you quarrel with your classmates?" Father He served vegetables for his daughter and asked with concern.

He Niannian looked up at his parents with a look of concern in his eyes, knowing that he had made them worry like this.

"Dad," He Niannian shouted aggrievedly, his mouth pursed, his eyes flashed with tears, and the fear suppressed in his heart suddenly welled up.

"Oh, what's going on, what's the matter with Dad." The tearful and distressed father He hurriedly came over and hugged his daughter in his arms.

Xiao's mother put down her chopsticks and stepped forward to touch her daughter's little face and help her wipe the beans.

Coaxed by her parents, she slowly let go of her fear, and then told her parents what she encountered in the morning.

Xiao's mother listened, her heart trembled, not to mention that she was a child, she was scared when she heard it, how did her daughter spend the morning, she was frightened.

Father He hugged his daughter tightly and patted her on the back to comfort her.

Xiao's mother froze and opened her mouth to fool her daughter, "Nian Nian, mom will help you analyze it." ”

He Niannian revealed a little face with hope from her father's arms, her mother is the most powerful and understands a lot of truths.

"First of all, you said you ran for a long time, and in the end you couldn't run, right? When you return to the familiar environment, are you tired, your legs are sore, and you look like you've been running for a long time? "Xiao's mother began to induce.

He Niannian shook his head, "I'm not tired at all." ”

"Okay, this means that you are entering an illusion, that is, an environment of consciousness so your body does not feel tired, then the second point, is the paper money you see only white and round, not black, green, square or rectangular, right?"

He Niannian thought about it, and there was indeed only one kind of white, "Only white and round." ”

"That's right, why do you only see this one in the illusion, because this is something that we only see when we have a funeral, and you have only seen this one in real life, so you can only imagine the one you see."

"Did I fantasize about it?" He Niannian looked at his mother and asked.

"Then let's talk about the last one, do you see the endless sea?" Mother Xiao asked confidently.

"Well, you can't see the edges, it's very muddy water." She nodded, her mind was misled by Xiao's mother, forgetting that she hadn't said that it was seawater.

"Then the question is, what color is the sea, we haven't seen it, but it's definitely not turbid, so why do you see turbid water? Think about it, is the sea water similar to the water in the canal? ”

He Niannian thought about it, the color of the water was indeed very similar to the color of the water in the canal when the reservoir released water.

"You see, even the appearance of water is imagined by what you usually see, so the strange things you encounter today are all your own imagination." Xiao's mother concluded.

"Mom, did I really imagine it myself?" He Niannian was still a little unconvinced, "Then why would I imagine so many dead people?" ”

"Because you are afraid, what are you afraid of, the more you think about something, or let me ask you, why the dead people you fantasize about are covered with white cloth, and it is not because you have never seen real dead people and can't imagine what they look like, so they are covered with white cloth. Why do you see white fog at first, because TV often shows it, and after there is a white fog, you will see another view, isn't that the reason? The villain in Xiao's mother's heart slammed the ground, why is it so difficult to fool, continue to think about it.

He Niannian nodded violently, "Mom, what you said is so right, why do I think it's strange, it turns out that I haven't seen much, and I can't imagine it." ”

"Yes, girl, everything you can imagine is what you've seen, that's why the imaginary scene is so simple." Father He saw that his daughter-in-law was almost fooling, so he hurriedly added two sentences to prove that he also contributed.

Mother Xiao glared at her husband, what is single, this is scary enough, how do you want her to fantasize.

Dad He shrunk his neck and realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Look, mom will help you analyze whether you feel scared, you are so scared that you haven't calmed down to think about it." Seeing her daughter's eyes brighten, Xiao's mother touched her daughter's head and said softly.

Well, well, He Niannian nodded violently, "What my mother said is that when I think about it now, I realize that it is all imagined by myself, so I am not afraid at all, Mom, my imagination is so simple." ”

He Niannian was a little disgusted with himself, "I should fantasize that I am a superman and can fly in the air, I have magic to resurrect them all, hehe." ”

Mother Xiao glared at her husband fiercely, and looked at how to clean you up for a while.

Dad He wanted to slap himself, why was he so bad, just listen to his daughter-in-law's reasoning, "Niannian, Dad thinks, your energy and imagination should be used for studying, you are still a child." ”

"Well, listen to Dad, I'll study hard." He Niannian was recalled by Father He's thoughts and said obediently.

"Nian Nian, don't be afraid if this happens in the future, it's your own illusion, you know? Also, if you don't understand something, tell your mother, and your mother will help you analyze it. After thinking about it, Xiao's mother instructed her daughter again.
