Chapter 106: Dreams and Illusions
When Miao Dao completely submerged into Yang Jiusheng's body, I don't know why, everything I saw in front of me changed.
Almost instantly, I traveled from my original location to an unknown dimension.
It was in a dark place.
I was suspended in the air, surrounded by many colorful bubbles of different sizes, the colors that were so brilliant that they even shimmered with the brilliance of life, which only made people look at me.
"Why?"
Suddenly, a voice that had disappeared for a long time, but which I dreamed of almost every day, sounded around me without warning.
Hearing this familiar name, I froze as if struck by lightning, and it took me a long time to recover.
When I turned around, I found myself crossing the ....... again. No! Maybe everything before was an illusion! Now it's real!!
"Old Shen, what do you want?"
Qibao was the same as ever, with a cigarette in his mouth, holding chopsticks to mix himself with hot pot dipping sauce, and the expression on his face was like a second-rate child, full of ruffianism.
After speaking, he handed me the small bowl of dipping sauce in his hand and asked me with a smile, "What were you stunned just now?" ”
I took the bowl with a confused face, looked at Qibao, and then looked at the other people present, and the whole person was instantly confused.
At this moment, I am in the pharmacy that has been burned down by the old religion.
As usual, when it was time to eat, everyone sat around the table, talking and laughing.
Qibao, Chang Long Xiang, Chen Qiuyan....... Old man.
Everybody is there.
"What's wrong with you?" The old man looked at me with a frown, and there was some worry in his eyes: "Are you too tired from practicing lately?" If you want me to say, you can rest for a while, and we ........."
Before the old man could finish speaking, Qibao snapped and slapped me on the shoulder.
"Master Shen, you don't have to think about it so much, just look at Old Shen like this, you know that he must be sleeping in a daze!" Qibao said, and couldn't help laughing, and looked at me with squeezing his eyebrows: "Old Shen, you stayed up late to read last night, right?" ”
"Reading .......," I looked at Shippo in a daze.
At this time, some memories of the past also came to my mind, like last night....... I was indeed reading the book that the old man gave me, that is, the general explanation of the later generations that explained the art of descending.
"Brother, don't be so hard!" Chang Long elephant ate hot pot without raising his head, and with a mouthful of food in his mouth, he said to me indistinctly: "I didn't sleep until five o'clock in the morning, and I didn't get up until six o'clock in the evening. If I slept like that, my brain would have to turn into mush! ”
"Don't say it, eat first." The old man smiled: "Today's beef is the best I went to buy, it is definitely tender and fresh enough, you can also eat more, make up for your body, don't exhaust your body for learning." ”
I smiled and nodded, and said Okay, before I could pick up the vegetables, Chen Qiuyan had already helped me sandwich a large piece of beef and put it into the bowl.
"Shi'an, you will be obedient today, go to bed early, don't go to bed so late." Chen Qiuyan whispered, seemingly a little angry, and a little worried: "You are not a candidate, as for studying so hard?" ”
"Don't worry, I'll go to sleep in a while, and I will definitely not read today!" I laughed and looked down at the beef in the bowl.
It's steaming hot, fragrant, put it in your mouth and chew it gently, it's really tender to the extreme.
"Tomorrow Qiuyan and her grandfather will come, and the marriage between the two of you should be decided." The old man said, picked up the wine glass, squinted his eyes and took a sip, the smile on his face was extremely bright: "You rabbit cub has become a family, and I, who is a grandfather, will be relieved." ”
Hearing the old man's words, I also suddenly remembered, it seems that this is the case, I had negotiated with Chen Qiuyan and her grandfather before, and tomorrow he will come to Sichuan to meet the old man, and then I will marry Chen Qiuyan.
"How does it feel like a dream......." I couldn't help but mutter.
"What's wrong?" Chen Qiuyan gently pinched my arm and looked at me with some grievances: "Regret? How do you see this expression? ”
"It's not that I regret it, I'm so happy!" I smirked, "It's like a dream!" ”
At this time, I really only had excitement in my heart, and that endless hope for the future.
I don't think it's enough to just use the word happiness to describe it, I just feel like I've got everything I want, but in the process....... Am I forgetting something?
It seems that something important has been forgotten by me....... But I can't remember what it was........
At this moment, the rat squeaked twice, rushed from the side of the chair into my arms, looked up at me, and then fell into my arms with a thud, exposing his little belly, and motioned for me to rub it.
"Chubby, how do I feel that you have become smaller......" I rubbed the belly of the rat and asked with some confusion, "I haven't eaten well lately and become thinner?" ”
"!" The old man couldn't help but scolded: "This little beast eats more than you, if it can lose weight somehow, I will have your surname!" ”
"Hey! Master Shen! You don't pay attention to this! Qibaoha laughed, and his shoulders kept trembling: "You are surnamed Shen with Lao Shen, and that is also surnamed Shen, no matter how you say it, you will not suffer." ”
"What's going on?" The old man glared: "Or else Lao Tzu has your surname?" ”
Seeing the old man's threatening eyes, Qibao secretly swallowed his saliva, not daring to say anything.
Chang Longxiang sat on the side and held back a smile, when he saw this scene, he was not ordinary schadenfreude.
After the meal, the old man went out for a stroll, Qibao and Chang Longxiang ran to watch TV, only I accompanied Chen Qiuyan to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and the rat was still squeaking next to it, as if urging us to hurry up and play with it.
"Shi'an, if I hadn't followed the action in the institute last time, maybe we wouldn't have known each other......." Chen Qiuyan said this, her pretty face was a little red, and she said a little shyly: "I'm really glad to meet you." ”
"Qiu Yan, when did you become so numb?" I said funny, feeling that my old face was also a little hot, but when I remembered the past when I got acquainted with Chen Qiuyan, I couldn't help but sigh: "But we can get to know each other, this is indeed fate, and it is even more fate to be able to get to this point." ”
"In the future, I will make you eat every day, and raise you for nothing!" Chen Qiuyan took the chopsticks and walked me to the kitchen, talking without looking back, and her tone was full of longing for the future: "Little Fat too, I feel that it is always not full, and its amount of food is about to catch up with Big Fat." ”
"Hey, don't say it, I'm really a little worried, its amount of food is getting bigger and bigger, and it won't make the two of us poor in the future......."
Just as I was chatting with Chen Qiuyan, the old man suddenly came back, still holding a bulging envelope in his hand, and when he saw me poking his head out of the kitchen door, he also waved at me and motioned for me to follow him upstairs.
Seeing his sneaky appearance, I couldn't help but be curious, and when I went back to the room with him, the old man casually handed me the envelope.
When I opened the envelope, I saw a thick stack of 100-dollar bills inside.
"I haven't received a job during this time, and you probably don't have any spare money, this money was saved by grandpa before, so I'll support .......you first."
The old man said, lit a cigarette, and sat side by side with me on the edge of the bed.
"Tomorrow Qiu Yan's grandfather is here, you behave generously, don't let people think that our Shen family is a poor ghost, you know?"
"Master, you can keep this money, I have money on me!" I laughed.
"If you want to take it, what nonsense......." The old man glared at me, and forced the envelope into my hand, his tone was very tough, and he didn't give me room to refute at all.
In the dim light of the desk lamp, the wrinkles and furrows on the old man's face added a bit of vicissitudes.
It's real and it's warm.
"Master, I'...... I feel like I've had a long dream........"
"Nonsense." The old man smiled angrily: "You rabbit cub have slept all day, can you not dream for a long time?" It's better than a pig to sleep! If it weren't for the autumn geese not letting us call you, I would have to ........"
As he spoke, the old man suddenly stopped his voice and looked at me with some doubts: "No, right?" You cried when I said two words to you? ”
I reacted when I heard this, and wiped my hand on my face, and my palm was already full of tears.
"It's not...... It's not you who say I...... I don't know why ......."
As I spoke, tears flowed uncontrollably, but I didn't cry out loud, just like I was wronged when I was a child, and hugged the old man tightly.
I didn't dare to let go of my grip so tightly that it seemed that as soon as I let go, the old man would leave me.
Finding that I was not quite in my mood, the old man also seemed a little worried, but he did not say anything, and gently patted me on the back.
With endless warmth in his thin palms, he comforted me softly, but my tears could not be stopped.
"Master....... I really miss you....... I really miss you ........."
