Chapter 53: The Eve
At ten o'clock in the evening, seven people, including Sun Meiyuan and the others, formed a circle with Sun Meiyuan as the center of the circle and sat in the spacious courtyard of the courtyard as if chanting and meditating.
The moon is full tonight, and the strange moonlight shrouds the earth below.
Black and white form a perfect neutralization, and the scene at this time does not feel like day or night, but rather a gray world. There was also some fine mist falling in the air, which fell on the head, and it was almost imperceptible to the body.
Because of its remote location, almost close to the edge of the city, the surroundings are quiet by this time. The honking of cars and the sound of crowds of people could not be heard, and the whole world seemed to stand still with the passage of time.
However, this silence did not make the people sitting on the ground feel relaxed, on the contrary, the quieter it was, the heavier the gloom that was suppressed in their hearts. Xiao Mo, Chen Cheng, Xiao Follower, Wen Qiayun and the other old people are fine, but their expressions are a little dignified, but their breathing is not flustered. But Li Sixuan, Chen Musheng, and especially Sun Meiyuan are much worse.
Chen Musheng kept turning his head to look around in the courtyard, although Li Sixuan was not as frightened as Chen Musheng, but she was a little panting in her breathing, which showed that there was a lot of pressure in her heart. As for Sun Meiyuan, the direct victim, from the moment they sat here, their whole body twisted and twisted like fleas, and the expression on their faces was indescribably ugly.
Sun Meiyuan's body trembled uncontrollably, or finally couldn't be suppressed, she said at this time:
"That's the ...... Will that red-robed ghost really come? ”
"Don't think about whether it's going to come or not, all you do is try to adjust your state and follow the method I gave you before."
Xiao Mo's voice was clear and powerful, as if it had a very special appeal, and Sun Meiyuan's original uneasiness suddenly calmed down a lot after hearing it.
"I adjust myself, but...... But I was scared. ”
Sun Meiyuan nodded in response to Xiao Mo's reminder, and kept grabbing her clothes hard.
"It's going to be fine. As long as you have faith in yourself, you will be able to get through it. As a woman, as a woman who has also experienced the victim period, Wen Qiayun can understand Sun Meiyuan's mood better than others.
The feeling of fear, despair, and utter collapse was a nightmare she would never forget.
Hearing Wen Qiayun's soft voice, Sun Meiyuan turned her head to look at the woman beside her who looked far better than her, there was no jealousy in her heart, only the purest gratitude, and the gratitude that flowed out of the oppression of despair.
Speaking of gratitude. She hadn't felt this emotion in a long time. Ever since she decided to stay in the city and say goodbye to her distant homeland, she has grown from her initial youth to maturity, becoming realistic, powerful, and even insensitive to her colleagues.
People say what kind of environment makes what kind of people, but in fact, from beginning to end, the environment has not changed at all. It's just my age that's changing.
So, it's not the environment that changes a person, it's the cruel time.
Sun Meiyuan is a person who changes herself in time, and she is lonely in her usual life. Vulnerable, but bitter and strong at work. She longs to be cared for, to be helped, but in her behavior she paradoxically rejects someone who may be close to her.
This contradiction exists for everyone. The only difference is the weight.
Light people will only feel lonely and lost at a certain stage, while heavy people will always feel out of place in the world.
"Don't worry, we all have props on us that can restrain ghosts. Think of it as an exciting adventure, or an experience of life. Whether the experience is successful or not, you'll be fine. ”
The comforter was replaced by Li Sixuan, but it sounded like her comfort was both to Sun Meiyuan and to herself.
When people are desperate and helpless, not to mention words of encouragement, even a look full of encouragement can make the person in it extremely grateful, and remember it for a long time after being rescued.
Human beings are themselves sensual creatures, the strongest and at the same time the most vulnerable. They are strong in the midst of adversity, but vulnerable in the midst of despair.
Hearing everyone's comfort, Sun Meiyuan couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude, if a colleague she didn't know the inside story saw this scene, she would definitely be surprised to think that Sun Meiyuan did not have a dual personality, because the contrast between the two is too great.
"Okay, from now on we're going to find a topic to talk to make sure you don't fall asleep."
At ten fifteen, after everyone was silent for a while, Xiao Mo suddenly gave his mention.
"Okay." For Xiao Mo's suggestion, everyone has always adopted it without hesitation.
"But what are we going to talk about?" Chen Musheng asked with a trembling voice, in fact, he also needed a topic to divert his attention, so he didn't let himself be so frightened.
"Let's talk about dreams." Xiao Mo didn't know why he suddenly said this, it was like a conditioned reflex without a brain. However, this topic can indeed be discussed, because he also has a dream that he longs to pursue.
"So what are your dreams?"
Hearing Xiao Mo bring up this topic, Li Sixuan subconsciously asked.
"My dream is simple, even completely dismissive, for you, but for me it is so difficult that I can't even lose my life."
Speaking of this, Xiao Mo suddenly took a deep breath, and then said extremely heavily:
"My dream is to be a real, complete version of myself."
"Be yourself?" Chen Musheng and Li Sixuan didn't know about the personality and personality of the evil ghost, so at this time, they couldn't help but be a little shocked when they heard Xiao Mo talk about what their dreams were to be themselves. But recalling Xiao Mo's previous words, he suddenly realized something.
Human life in the world seems to be very simple, nothing more than eating, drinking, sleeping, plus some spiritual entertainment or enjoyment. However, influenced by the surrounding environment and baptized by time, many people began to change, began to become different from themselves, and began to become like a stranger who had nothing to do with their original self.
And for this change. Most people will be satisfied with growth, but few people sink down to think, what is the essence of growth, and why do we grow?
In real life, we always hear slogans like "Who do I want to learn from, who do I want to be, who do I want to aim for?" and so on. Moreover, we will also envy those scientists, those officials, those entrepreneurs and some other successful people.
Many times we don't even care what they do. It doesn't matter if we are suitable or not, whether we have the same talents as theirs, we will confidently shout, "I want to be like them." ”
There is no doubt that they are all successful people, and each of them has a heart that is desperate to succeed. Add to that some so-called famous quotes, such as "success can be replicated", "the process of success is the same, and so on." ”
Because of these factors, we began to imitate subtly. Imitate the actions of some people, imitate the thoughts of some people, and even imitate the words of some people. Every time the imitation is effective, we will have a strong sense of accomplishment in our hearts. I feel like I've grown a little bit more, and I feel like I'm one step closer to those successful people.
As everyone knows, you are getting farther and farther away from yourself.
Just like the two most thought-provoking questions right now, what you are looking for is happiness. Or happier than others?
Are you living in your own world, or in someone else's world?
There is no doubt that 98 percent of people are happier than others. Ninety-nine percent of people live in someone else's world. They are all disturbed by the words of others, or more broadly by external factors.
When everyone else is dressed in red, and when you like green and wear green, more than 70 percent of people will jump out and accuse you of being nondeform, accusing you of being unsociable, accusing you of splitting your mindset.
But in fact, you're just wearing a dress you like. And this dress is worn on you, obviously it has nothing to do with them.
Therefore, the vast majority of people in this world are doing nosy and tongue-in-the-tongue things.
Everyone likes to put themselves in a position high above and then criticize other people's thoughts and actions with their own knowledge.
But as the old saying goes, "Zifei fish, Anzhi fish, the joy of fish?" ”
When a person can't understand something, or a person can't understand it, the normal mentality is that he feels that his background is not enough, the culture is not deep, and the realm is not enough. And it should not be vulgar to think that the thing is wrong, that person must be an idiot.
Like a philosophical question and answer, why are there so few wise men in the world? The answer is simply because there are too many stupid people.
Xiao Mo is not a pioneer of thought, nor is he a person who is very interested in philosophy, so he will say that this "dream" is completely out of his own real situation.
Because of the master Ge Suhao, because of that powerful evil ghost. His life was incomplete, at least it was like it was and it is now.
When he didn't know that your two personalities existed, he felt that he was incomplete because of his amnesia, and he longed to retrieve that lost memory. And now, when he knew that those two personalities existed, he felt that he was incomplete because of the split personality, and he longed for a complete self.
And the whole self represents a new life, a new life after leaving the curse, free, bright, and happy.
These things that ordinary people scoff at are the reasons why Xiao Mo is desperate for them. Of course, there are also his life and death brother Li Shuai, as well as Wen Qiayun and other teammates side by side.
As for the "simplicity" that Xiao Mo said, he just needs to cherish it and grasp it.
Chen Musheng and Li Sixuan obviously thought of Xiao Mo as high, and forgot that Xiao Mo himself was actually an ordinary person with flesh and blood and tears, just like them.
"Tell me about my dreams." Chen Musheng tried his best to "rescue" himself from that panic, so after Xiao Mo finished speaking, he also took over the topic and said:
"I have two dreams. One dream is to be a very, very rich person, and the other is to be able to get out of here alive. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Musheng suddenly thought that Sun Meiyuan didn't know about the curse, so he also looked at Xiao Mo uneasily, and when he saw that Xiao Mo didn't react, he continued with confidence:
"One of those dreams has come true, and that is that I have become a very, very rich person who can have as much money as I want. However, compared to the other dream, I think this dream is too insignificant.
Seriously, I suddenly understand those billionaires, and the top leaders of various countries. Although they have obtained the ultimate in wealth and power, they have buried the freedom that originally belonged to them with their own hands. ”
Chen Musheng's words made Li Sixuan sigh, and she also said at this time:
"You can get whatever you want, as long as you're willing to pay the price. Ordinary people, ordinary people, may be the happiest type of people in the world. They think they are miserable, tired, and unhappy, but in fact, they are the most relaxed, happy, and happy people they have lived.
What the eyes see is always only the appearance, and only what the heart senses is real. ”
After Li Sixuan finished speaking with a sigh, she suddenly said in a calm voice:
"My dream is to cherish it.
Cherish what you have now, cherish what you remember, and cherish what you want to cherish. Whether it's painful, happy, or full of sorrow. In short, as long as it belongs to me, it is worth cherishing.
Because it's much easier to cherish than to lose. ”
The topic unconsciously begins to become connotative, heavy. And this situation was also unexpected by Xiao Mo.
Wen Qiayun may also feel that the atmosphere is wrong, after all, Xiao Mo's intention to find a topic is to alleviate the depression, not to surge the depression. So she hurriedly opened her mouth and turned the topic back on track, but this turn made Xiao Mo very embarrassed.
"I didn't expect your dreams to be quite great, compared to you, I'm just a layman. As a woman who longs to be loved and protected, I only hope that one day when we escape from this curse together, Captain Xiao will love and love me. ”
After saying it with a smile, Wen Qiayun playfully raised her neck at Xiao Mo, and said with some provocation:
"How is Captain Xiao? Can you give me a chance to appreciate your face? ”
"Ahem...... cough awkwardly after hearing this, Xiao Mo coughed embarrassedly twice, and it took a long time before he held back two words:
"Don't make a fuss."
Hearing Xiao Mo's reply, and looking at his somewhat complicated expression, I don't know if it struck everyone's laughter, except for Chen Cheng, everyone else couldn't help laughing. Although Chen Cheng didn't laugh out loud, a little smile also appeared on Mu Ne's face, which was really rare. (To be continued......)
