Zhu Hongjun's father's name is Zhu Jianguo, and after returning from the Korean battlefield, he has a very strange habit of taking his dreams seriously, and will look for the place where the dreams occur in reality. The family relationship was so bad that his wife even had to divorce until that day, when he brought back something from outside.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Keel." Zhu Hongjun said.

I immediately became interested and asked Zhu Hongjun about the detailed process of getting the keel.

Zhu Hongjun told me that this incident happened a long time ago, in the 60s of the last century, when the red wave was becoming more and more intense throughout the country, and movements were being carried out in various places. At that time, the interior of the factory was divided into two major factions, both of which wanted to grab the arsenal and fight all day long, and the bullets and grenades were thrown out as if they didn't need money.

It was at this time that Zhu Jianguo had the most important and last big dream of his life. He followed this dream to find the place of his dreams, and because of his sudden disappearance, which eventually led to the fall of the largest arsenal in the region, the rebels quickly armed themselves and launched the largest armed campaign in Harbin at that time, killing and wounding countless people, and the city center was scarred, and it is said that bullet holes can still be found.

After Zhu Jianguo returned, he was quickly arrested and imprisoned, and three months later he was executed, which was immediately executed.

I was thrilled to hear the past, and I couldn't help but be curious, and asked Zhu Hongjun where his father had gone, and why he was so careless.

At that time, Zhu Jianguo should have taken into account the consequences of his rash departure, he had worked in the Security Section for so many years, and he had also served as a soldier, so he would not know what his disappearance would bring, but he still went without hesitation.

Now at noon, Cai Xiaocai cleaned up her room and came to chat with me, listening to Zhu Hongjun talk about this past, she was also very interested.

Zhu Hongjun said: "I'll make you a little stupid chicken stewed mushroom at noon, let's talk while eating." ”

Cai Xiaocai wanted to give him a hand, but Zhu Hongjun didn't let us, so we stayed in the house and rested, and he was busy.

Cai Xiaocai and I were drinking hot tea, I looked at the photos on the wall and pondered, Cai Xiaocai asked me, do you still have the idea of playing keel?

I sighed, "It's more complicated than we first thought, don't blame me for saying something unpleasant." ”

"You say." Cai Xiaocai looked at me.

I said, "Your third uncle asked us to come here, will there be any other purpose?" ”

"What do you mean?" Cai Xiaocai was a little unhappy.

I shook my head, "I don't mean anything else, it's just that it's more complicated than I thought at first." ”

"If you come here, you will be safe, don't jump to conclusions," Cai Xiaocai said: "If my third uncle really has any other ideas, you don't need to say it, I have to question him when I go back." ”

After chatting for a while, Zhu Hongjun came in with a steaming porcelain basin, which was filled with a pile of small stupid chicken and mountain mushrooms. At this time, the child also woke up, and the four of us sat around the table, eating hot rice and drinking home-brewed cereal wine.

The more he drank, the happier he became, and Zhu Hongjun continued to talk about the events of the year.

Before his father, Zhu Jianguo, was arrested and imprisoned, he once told Zhu Hongjun about his experience. The two of them were carrying people behind their backs at the time, and they didn't even tell Zhu Hongjun and his mother.

Zhu Jianguo told his son about the last dream he had.

His dream was quite strange.

Zhu Hongjun didn't feel anything at the time, but many years have passed, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that this dream has a deep meaning, and sometimes he still has goosebumps when he thinks about it.

Zhu Jianguo was still the head of the security section in his dream, and he was ordered to find a missing college student. This college student only knows that he is a man, and he doesn't know what he looks like. He couldn't remember the first part of the dream, but the clearest part of his memory was like this, he followed the clues of this college student and went to many places, but he was always one step late, and he never found any trace of this person.

The last clue he got was that this person had entered the Great Khing'an Mountains, a village deep in the mountains. Zhu Jianguo found the village, and after arriving in the village, he inquired around, and he found a strange thing, every family in this village had contact with this college student, and the college student had either eaten in this house or helped in that family.

The university students have left their mark throughout the village, and even the primary school has books donated by him and blackboard newspapers left behind. But the problem is that Zhu Jianguo didn't find any trace of this person, he seemed to disappear without a trace.

Later, someone told him that the last time he saw the college student was to go to a deserted house in the village. Zhu Jianguo was about to go over to check, and when he arrived at the gate of the deserted house, he saw an old lady in black blocking the door.

This old lady, whom he recognized, was the oldest grandmother in the village, and was said to have lived for more than a hundred years. The old woman in the dream was extremely terrible, with gray hair and a confused face, and led him to her own house. This grandma's children and grandchildren are all dead, and she is the only one left in the family, and she has survived until now by taking care of the village.

She has a very high rank in the village, and Zhu Jianguo had to give her three points of thin noodles and asked the old lady, Grandma, what are you stopping me for.

Grandma trembled and told him that a family of five had died violently in that deserted house, and I don't know how they died until now, and the body was rotten when it was found, and the house was very unlucky, and there was a curse, so it was best not to go in.

Zhu Jianguo was skeptical, he was in a dream at this time, and he didn't have much consciousness to control himself, so he still decided to go to the deserted house to find college students, which was his duty.

That night when he arrived at the deserted house, a group of children surrounded him and started a cry. Zhu Jianguo walked into the courtyard, and the children did not leave, but climbed up the wall to watch the excitement, and none of them dared to climb over the wall to enter.

The structure of the deserted house is extremely special, unlike ordinary people's houses, the terrain is gradually downward, that is, the house is much lower than the terrain of the courtyard outside, and it is getting narrower and narrower, as if entering the basement.

Zhu Jianguo hesitated for a moment, but still entered the house. The group of children climbed on a high place and shouted his name together: "Zhu Jianguo, Zhu Jianguo......"

When Zhu Jianguo came out again, the group of children were still calling his name, Zhu Jianguo stiffened all the way, like a walking corpse, walked out of the courtyard gate of the deserted house, and then fell to the ground, he felt that he was going to die.

He dimly saw the eldest grandmother come to his side, show him a mirror, and tell him that anyone who is cursed by evil spirits will have blue eyelids, which is almost like wiping eye shadow.

Zhu Jianguo saw himself in the mirror, his upper eyelids were bruised, it was terrifying, and the next moment he died in a dream.

When he woke up, he thought about this dream for a long time, and he realized his fate, this dream was driving him to find the college student.

The college student who never appeared in the dream is very, very important, and it is likely to affect the fate of many people.

This sense of mission made him restless and restless, but at the same time, he also had a strong premonition that if he really went to find it, he would probably end up dead like in his dream.

In the end, he made up his mind, and then there was that time without saying goodbye, and he entered the Great Xing'an Mountains alone.

He searched for many places, and when he finally found himself in a mountain, he was shocked to find that the geography of this place was exactly the same as the path leading to the small village in his dream.

He followed the road into the mountains, which were empty and he was alone, and when it was dark, he came to an open field in the forest, and he looked around with a flashlight, and finally determined that this was the location of the village in his dream.

What surprised him was that there was no village here in reality, the ground was full of weeds, ancient trees and forests, how far could a shout echo be heard, not to mention people, I am afraid there were not even birds.

Suspicious, he followed the direction he remembered, came to a large patch of grass, shone his flashlight on it, and found a deep tree pit.

Speaking of this, Zhu Hongjun said: "He just found the keel in the tree pit." ”

Cai Xiaocai reacted quickly and asked, "Uncle Zhu, what direction does that tree pit correspond to in the dream?" ”

Zhu Hongjun was silent for a moment and said, "It's the deserted house where a family of five died violently in my dream." ”

I suddenly realized something, and I snorted, "Uncle Zhu, you mean that the college student in the dream is actually a reflection of the keel in reality?" ”

Zhu Hongjun didn't answer, and drank the liquor in the cup in one gulp. Slapping the little grandson's buttocks: "Hurry up and go to bed." ”

The child was indeed too weak, eating chicken stewed mushrooms, sweating all over his head, and sitting there dozing off. Zhu Hongjun put his grandson on the bed, came back and continued to drink, and said: "This question, I asked my father at the time, whether the college student I dreamed of represents the keel found. My father shook his head at the time and said a very unbelievable thing, he said that college students do have people, and the keel is buried there by college students, and he is dreaming of me and asking me to find the keel. ”

Cai Xiaocai and I looked at each other, and I felt an inexplicable coldness.

"My father said at the time that I found the keel, and the end will be the same as in the dream, which is also death. Then, he handed me the bone, and told me to be sure to look at it, because the stakes were high here. Zhu Hongjun said.

"What did the keel look like when it was found, a pitch black piece?" Cai Xiaocai asked.

Zhu Hongjun shook his head: "Put it in a small wooden box." He compared: "There are still words on the box." That's it," he paused and said, "Xiao Feng, Xiao Cai, we are not outsiders, I will show you the keel and the box tonight." ”
