After breakfast, she drove to her parents' house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The sunlight outside is so strong that you don't dare to look at it directly. The ultraviolet rays passed through the glass and fell on her skin, like a sharp blade, which made people sting.

About a twenty-minute drive, she came to her parents' residence.

An old residential building built in the 70s, and my parents live on the fourth floor.

She parked the car downstairs, walked through the dark and damp corridor, and came to the door of the unit, where she happened to meet Aunt Zhang, a neighbor of her parents, and the two sides bowed their heads slightly and said hello with a smile.

She walked into the dark hallway and began to climb the stairs with great difficulty. Old-fashioned residential buildings do not have elevators. The fourth floor still seemed a bit difficult for her, and large beads of sweat dripped down her face, and she had to stop and rest.

After several times of climbing and resting, she finally reached the fourth floor. At this time, she was out of breath and exhausted.

She rested outside the door for several minutes before knocking softly on the security door of her parents' house.

When Liu Siling opened the door, she was startled to find that Qi Luoling's face outside the door was pale, as if she was about to collapse.

She hurriedly helped Qi Luoling into the living room and let her slowly sit down on the sofa. Then he shouted to his husband Qi Qiang and asked him to bring a warm wet towel over.

Qi Qiang hurriedly took out a pale yellow towel from the bedboard drawer in the room, walked quickly to the faucet in the bathroom, turned on the hot water, soaked the towel and wrung it out, and handed it to Liu Siling.

Liu Siling gently wiped the sweat on her daughter's face, and said distressedly: "Why is your body getting worse and worse?" Aren't you taking Chinese medicine for conditioning? Instead of getting better, it's getting worse? ”

Qi Luoling took the towel from her mother's hand, wiped the beads of sweat herself, and said with a smile: "My body is much better, but I had a nightmare last night and sweated, so my health is worse today."

"What kind of nightmare are you doing?" Liu Siling looked a little worried.

"It's all a mess of dreams, and I've forgotten about it." She said perfunctorily.

After wiping off the sweat, Qi Luoling put the towel on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

She suddenly noticed that there were several old and worn portrait albums on the black coffee table, one of which was spread out, and many of the old yellowed photographs were embedded in it, many of which had been blurred and some faded. There are also some stains on the surface of the film.

"Mom, you're reminiscing about the old days." She pretended to be spirited, turned her head and joked to Liu Siling, only then did she notice that her mother deliberately wore a pair of reading glasses on her nose in order to see the photo clearly.

"Yes, your mom is looking at pictures of you when you were a kid again, reminiscing about when you were a kid. Qi Qiang brought a glass of lukewarm boiled water and handed it to Qi Luoling, and said with a smile.

"Sigh, time is too fast, tomorrow you will be 24 years old. In my mind, yesterday you were a chubby baby lying quietly in my arms. Liu Siling lamented the vicissitudes of time.

"Hehe, how else can you say that the years are a handful of ******? Mom and Dad, you were really talented men and women when you were young, you were really right! You see, I was so fat when I was a child, so cute. She pointed to a photo of the three of them at the full moon.

The mother sat in front of a bamboo rattan chair, holding herself in her arms, and her eyes were smiling like moon buds. The father stood behind the mother, his hands gently resting on the wicker chair, smiling.

Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by the cloak she wore around when she was full moon, the color of the cloak was very special, it was made of many colors of fabric, there were seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, colorful and gorgeous like a rainbow. The color of the cloak seemed familiar, as if it had been seen somewhere.

She remembered the dream. The baby in the dream is wrapped in swaddling clothes, and its color is exactly the same as the color of his own cape, and it is also a bright colorful dress.

She suddenly felt her heart throb and contract violently, as if she was about to breathe, and the cup in her hand began to oscillate slightly with the shaking of her hand.

In order to hide her discomfort, she raised the water glass in a trembling manner and drank the water from the glass in one gulp.

In a few seconds, she regained her composure, calmed down, and pretended to ask casually, "Mom, this cloak was so beautiful when I was a child, who made it?" ”

"Huh?" Liu Siling didn't expect her to ask this question, so she was caught off guard and stunned.

However, Liu Siling quickly reacted, gave Qi Qiang a meaningful look, and then said, "This was given by a neighbor's aunt where my mother used to live." ”

"Which aunt is it? What is your name? Qi Luoling continued to ask.

"Let me think about it, that aunt's last name is ...... The surname is Li, yes, it is the surname Li. Liu Siling said after pondering.

"Oh, are you still in touch?"

"No, it's long gone. Not long after you were born, she moved, and there was no phone contact at that time, so we had lost touch for more than 20 years. Asking so carefully, what's wrong with you? Liu Siling said a little unpleasantly.

"It's nothing, I'm just asking." Qi Luoling saw that her mother looked a little unhappy, and her words seemed impatient, so she hastily ended the topic.

Is that dream meaningful or meaningless? Is it somehow connected to itself? Or is it just a coincidence? Now this kind of weird dream makes my nerves a little sensitive, and even develops to the point of insanity.

Are you thinking too much? Isn't it just a dream? Maybe it's because I'm too curious. You don't have to make a big fuss about it. Maybe after a while, the body will recover, and such a strange dream will disappear.

"Ling'er, what are you thinking? Your health is so bad, how much you hurt your spleen! By the way, I asked you to come over today for a reason. Liu Siling suddenly became excited again.

"What's the matter?" Qi Luoling asked suspiciously.

"I know a fortune teller and want him to do the math for you."

"Mom, I found that you have a lot of acquaintances, and there are acquaintances in all three religions and nine ranks. Sometimes I wonder if your acquaintances are lined up waiting for you to recognize each other. Liu Siling grinned and said with a smile.

"How do you talk, girl? Am I not good for you? Listen to me, isn't the house opposite our house rented out? The tenant was a man who studied the I Ching. It is said that the ancestors of the family have devoted themselves to the study of Yipu, feng shui and numerology, and they have been exposed to it since childhood, and they are very accomplished at a young age. Thinking that they were all neighbors, I accosted me a few times, and I became a mature person. Liu Siling said very seriously.

"Mom, you're so familiar! Qi Luoling snickered.

"Be serious. Recently, we feel that you have not been going well, first the child has an inexplicable miscarriage, and then the health has been very poor. We want him to show you the physiognomy and calculate the fortunes, and it is best to turn evil into good fortune. ”

"Now fortune telling is all about cheating money, and it sounds good." Qi Luoling pursed her mouth.

"In the past few days, I have observed an endless stream of people who come to him for fortune telling. Ling'er, don't say it, that man really sees it accurately. When he first moved in, while directing the moving company in the hallway, I opened the door and greeted him warmly. He looked at me and said, "Old man, you are so blessed, you have a caring daughter." You can tell at a glance that I have a daughter, isn't it? ”

"Mom, it's not a son or a daughter, isn't it a matter of probability? He was lucky, and he was right. ”

"Don't worry, listen to Mom. He went on to say, "Your daughter is a monkey, and today is the natal year, so you should pay special attention." Last year, your daughter's luck was not very good, if this year is even more fateful, there will be woe if there is no joy, if you want to spend this year safely and smoothly, you must find someone to eliminate disasters and pray for blessings. ”

"Fortune tellers cheat money so in the same way, isn't the ultimate goal to cheat money?"

"Ling'er, you spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, everyone has said it, and they are all neighbors who will help you see it for free. I don't want money anyway. Why don't we let him do the math? Liu Siling asked tentatively.

Qi Luoling didn't say anything, and thought about it for a while, although she was disdainful of fortune-telling and appearance, her parents' starting point was also for her own good. Forget it, even if it was to ease her parents' hearts, she nodded and agreed.

Liu Siling was very happy, and immediately got up and took Qi Luoling with her, opened the door, and came to the door next door.
