Chapter 46: Hell and Heaven IV

"Like!" Zhang Chengyuan shouted and woke up from his dream. He rarely spoke so loudly in his dreams when he grew up. Look at the time, 2:31 a.m. Hey, it must be too excited to be admitted to the Sailing School, Zhang Chengyuan thought, turned over, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

"Like!" Zhang Chengyuan shouted and woke up from his dream again. He sat up and shook his head, although his mind was a little dizzy, but he clearly remembered that he seemed to have just shouted "like", and then woke up. Look at the time, 2:41 a.m. He was even more determined in his thoughts, because he remembered that he had just looked at the alarm watch, and the time was 2:31. Memories flooded back in an instant, and it was easy for him to think of the strange dreams he had when he was 8 years old.

A premonition came to his heart, Zhang Chengyuan turned on the lamp, found the diary, wrote down the date in the diary, and then wrote the word "like". Then he slowly closed the diary, turned off the light, and lay down.

"Tyranny!" Zhang Chengyuan shouted, sat up, and was stunned for three seconds, then sat up, turned on the lamp, and then opened his notebook and wrote the word "ba". Then turn off the lights and lie down.

"Mom!"

……

At 3:51, Zhang Chengyuan shouted "Body!" Wake up from a dream. Without hesitation, he turned on the lamp, wrote a word in his notebook, and went back to sleep.

The sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the curtains, waking up Cheng Yuan who was sleeping soundly.

When I opened my eyes, I slowly stretched my waist and stretched my tired body, which was extremely comfortable.

Yes, being admitted to the Sailing School is one step closer to the Pure Land, is there anything more happy than this?

He sat up, but froze.

Diary.

He slowly flipped through the diary, and the words on it caught his eye. From more than two o'clock in the morning to more than three o'clock in the morning, he woke up from his dream several times, and recorded the content of the dream words, which were connected together: "It's like the three-body problem of the Ba Ma medicine novel." ”

"Ask your parents for the novel Three-Body Problem?"

Zhang Chengyuan interpreted the gesture in his dream with a confused face, and he was very puzzled. He believes that his interpretation must be incorrect, because although he has not read all the 126 novels in the world, they have all been introduced in the Chinese class of primary school, and there is no novel called the three-body problem, not even homophonic.

But the last time he encountered such a hint, it was to ask him not to touch the carving, which did make him gradually forget Ruan Xiyue, if it weren't for that, maybe he didn't have the heart to study later, and he wouldn't be admitted to the Sailing School today, so he didn't believe that his dream words were completely meaningless.

Walking out of the bedroom door, my mother was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, and my father was sitting in the living room reading today's newspaper.

"Mom, did you think there would be a 127th novel in this world?"

The mother put the fried poached eggs in a bowl and said, "Where did you get the 127 novels, you just got admitted to the Sailing School, why did you forget all that little bit of language knowledge?" ”

"No, I had a weird dream last night, I dreamed of the name of a novel."

"It's called "Zhang Chengyuan was admitted to the Sailing School"?" Dad casually interjected while reading the newspaper.

"It's called "Three-Body Problem". Zhang Chengyuan said vaguely.

"Why isn't it called "The Six-Body Problem"?" Dad said lightly.

The mother brought the omelette and side dishes to the table and urged: "It's time to eat, eat more!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan nodded awkwardly and picked up the chopsticks.

…………

Most of the students and their families who were admitted to the school had an unforgettable and happy time. Because the school is closed, students have to live on campus from the day they enter the school, and they only have the opportunity to go home one day a month. But family celebrations are limited to dinners, card games and other small activities. Vacations that were popular in the early 21st century are unrealistic here. Because there is a ban on residents not being allowed to go out of the city, outside the city, there is no grass, no people, and there are potential safety hazards.

There is a two-week holiday period from the end of the entrance examination on June 14 to the opening of the school. June 29th is the day when the new students of Qihang School will start school.

After a few days of family gatherings, the partners also began to meet frequently.

Once, Cao Duo convened a gathering of the partners of the Excellence Alliance, and all six people in a group went, including Ruan Xiyue, Leng Changhe, and Zhang Chengyuan. is still the original team that played the killing game back then, only Zhang Luoqi is missing. She didn't go, and no one else called her. At this time, her mood can be understood by others.

Perhaps in Cao Duo's view, there is no difference between a sailing school and an ordinary school, and it will not affect their friendship.

But perhaps in the eyes of most people, they have embarked on two paths, the road to heaven and hell.

The encouragement and blessings of the partners to Cao Duo were sincere, or against their hearts, Cao Duo listened to it very useful and moved. He felt that it was a blessing to have these good friends who would not despise him.

In fact, a lot of times like this, you can't tell whether someone is true or fake about you. But as long as you are open-minded enough, you think the world is beautiful, and you think that others are kind to you, your life is happy.

Cao Duo may have ruined his dream of living in the "Pure Land", perhaps his chance of suffering from cancer is higher than others, or his lifespan will be shorter than that of his friends. But this does not prove that he is less happy than others, because those who live longer do not necessarily be happy.

The partners of the three groups have also met frequently these days. Situ Shan is off the list, and maybe he will drift away from them in the future, but the friendship of his partners at this moment is intimate. It is human instinct to sympathize with the weak, but everyone is reluctant to Situ Shan not only because of sympathy.

Of course, Situ Shan's frustrated mood could not be adjusted in just a few days, but she couldn't bear to disobey the kindness of her partners, so she also put a smile on her face, participated in every party, and she also cherished the opportunity to get along with her partners.

On the evening of June 24, the three groups of partners had a barbecue by the river outside the high campus. After a feast, it's game time.

"Zhang Chengyuan" Chen Jiatong said, "In the past few days, I have been tired of playing board games, and I have sung songs. ”

"Let's play idiom solitaire," Mr. Zhang said.

"It's boring just to have idiom solitaire, so you have to have a colorful head~" Ruan Xiyue interjected.

"I'm not done yet!" Zhang Chengyuan continued, "Whoever can't catch it has to tell you a story of his own!" ”

"Who do you want to hear a story?" Situ Shan said, a smile squeezing out of her haggard face.

"I just want to hear from you!" Zhang Chengyuan did not back down, and pretended to look at Situ Shan with affection. He's not the thin-skinned boy.

"Go aside!" Situ Shan pretended to be angry, and threw a stone at Zhang Chengyuan.

Chen Jiatong knocked on the wooden stick used to stir the charcoal fire and said: "Don't make trouble, you few flirtatious, don't leave us out in the cold!" Isn't it an idiom solitaire? Let's get started! Jiatong used a wooden stick to beat on the ground while thinking, and then blurted out: "A little stone becomes gold!" ”

"Gold List Title!" Zhang Chengyuan couldn't hide the joy of being on the list.

"Fame." Ruan Xiyue continued.

"Rise from the dead." Wei Hengyi continued.

"The dream of giving birth to mulberry." Cold long river.

"Dreams are full of flowers." Situ Shan blurted out without the slightest hesitation.

"Before the flowers and under the moon" Chen Jiatong came back again.

"Don't take it as an example" Zhang Chengyuan.

"Routine" Ruan Xiyue.

…………

"Wait a minute!" Situ Shan stood up suddenly, frowning, looking nervous.

"What's wrong?" The friends all turned their heads to look at her.

"Don't you feel familiar?" Situ Shan frowned and desperately recalled, "This scene, this scene must have happened!" ”

The partners looked at each other, but they didn't understand what Situ Shan was talking about.

"It's routine, and then next, how will it be picked?" Situ Shan looked at Wei Hengyi.

"It backfired!" Almost in unison, Situ Shan and Wei Hengyi said this idiom at the same time.

"Wow~I have a soul~" Ruan Xiyue began to coax, also wanting to relieve the weird atmosphere.

"It's not like that!" Situ Shan said, "No, it should be Zhang Chengyuan who said it before the moon, Leng Changhe said it if it wasn't an example, Chen Jiatong said it for routine, and it was Ruan Xiyue who backfired...... That's how it should be. I, I feel like I've seen and happened in this scene we're in right now! I have an impression. ”

β€œdejavu!” Leng Changhe said calmly, "This is normal, people occasionally dream about things that will happen in the future when they are dreaming, this is an animal instinct, and this phenomenon has more or less been experienced by everyone." ”

The other partners nodded in agreement.

"That's not right!" Situ Shan was still frowning and desperately reminiscing, "It's not like this! I remember. We're supposed to be playing in a tree! ”

"You mean, you dreamed that the six of us climbed a big tree and played idiom solitaire?" Zhang Chengyuan asked, this scene, he felt unbelievable when he thought about it.

"No," Situ Shan's gaze became clearer and clearer, "It's not one, it's two!" We ...... on two trees."

"Oh my God!" Chen Jiatong shuddered a little, "Sister, don't be like this~ You are like a soul possessed, and you don't tell ghost stories at night!" ”

The other friends laughed.

Situ Shan also felt that she was a little out of shape, smiled awkwardly, and sat down again. But she still felt that something was wrong.

The game continued, and then stalled again after Ruan Xiyue's phrase "send charcoal in the snow".

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Is homophone OK? Wei Hengyi asked.

"No~!" Almost all of them spoke in unison.

"You've me!" Wei Hengyi looked at Ruan Xiyue with a wry smile.

With an innocent expression, Xiyue said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to. ”

"Let's tell a story!" Chen Jiatong took the lead and began to shout.

"Tell a story, tell a story!" The buddies began to heckle.

Wei Hengyi has never said much, so everyone is looking forward to his story.

"I don't read much, I don't know how to tell stories." Wei Hengyi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I didn't tell you any other stories, I had to tell your own story!" Ruan Xiyue helped, "The rules set must be followed!" ”

Wei Hengyi looked at these innocent but friendly partners, and the haggard defense line in his heart collapsed...... For a few days, he was really going crazy after pretending to be calm, he needed a way to vent, he needed someone to talk to, he couldn't bear so much pressure and so much pain alone. He remembered that his father had said that there were some secrets that he couldn't tell, but he didn't care anymore. When a person is on the verge of a nervous breakdown, the fear of death, and even the blackmail of anything, becomes meaningless. Wei Hengyi couldn't bear it anymore, and his psychological defense line collapsed.

"I'm going to tell you the story of my dad. There is a secret in this story that cannot be passed on, but I think everyone has the right to know this secret. ”

No one interrupted him.

"The story starts with my mother dying of lung cancer five years ago......"

Wei Hengyi told the story of this great father's love with tears in his eyes, and at the same time, he also told the secret about radiation causing cancer.

The partners listened to the story with extremely mixed feelings. There is sympathy for Wei Hengyi, there is praise for the greatness of father's love, and there is also fear of beautiful lies. When the partners heard that the medicine they usually take was not vitamin tablets, but cancer rate inhibitors, a dark cloud rose in everyone's hearts. Zhang Chengyuan seemed to suddenly understand his mother's instructions to him, as if he suddenly understood why his mother cared so much about taking medicine every day. It turns out that there are really things that parents know but children don't know.

Zhang Chengyuan clasped his hand on the back of Wei Hengyi's hand and said, "You still have us!" ”

The other partners also stretched out their hands one after another, clasping together with Wei Hengyi's hand.

Only Situ Shan didn't.

Situ Shan's gaze was panicked.

The partners knew in their hearts that Situ Shan had no chance to get out of Lan Qicheng, and she was in greater danger than others.

"Situ Shan, don't be afraid!" Ruan Xiyue said, "Now that we know the truth, we can only face it calmly." ”

Situ Shan shook her head, obviously Ruan Xiyue had misunderstood what she meant. Situ Shan stared at Wei Hengyi tightly, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "What did you mean when you just said that no one went out to work?" ”

Wei Hengyi also looked at Situ Shan, shook his head and said, "It means that no one goes out to work." It's all fake. ”

"No, it won't!" Situ Shan began to be afraid, "My grandfather told me that my parents went out when I was just born, and they really went out!" ”

"That day," Wei Hengyi said, "the last night I saw my dad, I checked his patient medical records. I looked up the list of patient cases from 16 years ago. There were two patients, who were related to husband and wife, and they died at the same time. The man's name is Situ Boyu, and the woman's name is Cheng Shan......"
