This time, the bus departed from Z City, passed through two provinces, and lasted three days and two nights.

The time is probably the time just after Xiaoxiao, and my uncle told me this, at that time, they counted most of the solar terms, which were different from our current dates.

The air in the car is very hot, and the air conditioning in the 90s has not yet been introduced, let alone on the bus, and the air seems to be filled with a breath of moisture, sticky, hot, sticky on everyone's body, and can't shake it off.

In those days, going out was either a part-time job or a business, so the car was full of men, and the first half of the road was honest and polite, but the car was in the second half, everyone let go, there was no fan in the car, although the wind outside the window could bring a trace of coolness, but it was repelled by the hot air thrown by the engine after a while.

The people in the car took off their tops one after another, and the feeling of the sticky tops sticking to their bodies was too uncomfortable, and even worse, there was only a pair of underwear left on their bodies.

The sky outside the car has already darkened, and the slightly sultry night breeze makes people tired, and many people can't stay up and fall asleep.

Uncle moved a small bench as usual and sat at the back door, there were not many people sitting on the first floor, basically they all slept on the second floor, but Uncle couldn't sleep, he had to keep an eye on the road, so he was about to close his eyes and search around, hoping to catch someone who didn't look so ordinary.

After sweeping around, the uncle could only end up embarrassed, because the few people downstairs looked normal, and they didn't look like people.

He sighed, and prepared to find a seat to desert, after all, there was still a day and a night ahead.

The uncle found a seat and leaned down, but as soon as he lay down, he saw the young man on his left who looked like a student in his teens.

The young man on the left-hand side who looked like a student couldn't stand the temperature anymore, and he hurriedly began to take off his shirt, and halfway through it, the uncle suddenly noticed that the young man's back was imprinted with a shocking scar, extending from the spine in the middle of the shoulder blade to the side of the ribs.

"It was like a four-leaf clover full of canine teeth, and it was like something behind it had been torn off, turning out the muscles inside, leaving such a large wound, and as he took off his clothes, the four-leaf clover slowly grew, almost occupying his entire back." These were the uncle's exact words, and I can see his astonishment and surprise from his relay.

He glanced cursoryly, then looked up at the younger-looking young man.

"How did you get this?" Uncle's curiosity prompted him to ask.

The young man turned his head, and his slightly immature face could not help but raise a sense of sympathy, and he smiled faintly, and said nonchalantly.

"Car accident." Let's call him Xiao D here for the time being, and he replied very simply and quickly, not at all like he still had any nostalgia for this car accident.

Uncle tilted his head and glanced at him a few more times, carefully examined the horrific scar on his back, and then shook his head thoughtfully.

"We've seen a lot of car accidents in our business! A wound like yours can only be caused by the entire deformation of the car, and if you do, I'm afraid you won't survive. ”

Xiao D was not surprised, as if he had expected that the lie would be exposed, and asked rhetorically: "What do you think?" How did you get this scar? ”

Originally, it was the uncle who asked the question, but he came back and threw it to him, he secretly scolded the little rabbit cub in his heart, but he didn't want to hang up on his face, and after thinking for a while, he asked tentatively.

"Fire?"

"Do you think it's like a burn?" Xiao D asked calmly, a sly look flashed in his eyes.

"Fall?" The uncle still insisted on asking, although he still had that tentative expression on his face.

Xiao D was noncommittal, but Uncle knew it wasn't.

"Domestic violence?" Uncle originally wanted to swallow this sentence back, but he still couldn't resist the reflex nerves of people, and it was always easiest for his mouth to move.

Xiao D's face was a little gloomy, and the momentary loss made the uncle look in his eyes, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice, the uncle thought, "Finally got me right, but this parents are too ruthless!." ”

But after half a ring, I thought about it again, isn't it bad that I am so happy!

Before the words of comfort could be spoken, Xiao D spoke first, "They haven't reached this point yet!" ”

Uncle was a little confused, and he couldn't care about face, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Xiao D smiled weirdly, and said to Uncle Xiao a little mysteriously, "I'm going to tell you that this is a ghost, do you believe it?" ”

The uncle cut off, bored himself, turned over and prepared to sleep.

"Do you know what to do?" Xiao D asked for no reason, and for a while, the uncle who was turning over didn't know what to do.

The uncle was a little late to keep up with his out-of-the-box thinking, turned over and replied, "Yes"

"Then tell me!" Xiao D held a condescending posture, as if he was the master of the place now.

Uncle didn't bother to care, sorted out the wild history in his mind, so many years of stories, not in vain, and then said slowly: "The horse is similar to the Tibetan jumping god, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was particularly active, mainly in the northeast, and we often say that Taoism and Buddhism are different from the self-cultivation, the disciples of the horse have been able to psychic through cultivation, in fact, they are completely relying on external forces, but not through human spirits, but animals, immortal animals, generally speaking, they will worship a specific animal, After several generations of people have formed a good relationship with this animal, they call it a family fairy, and then use their wisdom and supernatural powers to solve the problem. But generally speaking, these are only the contents of Zhiwei novels or folk books. ”

"yes, do you know what's the point?" Xiao D suddenly became interested, and he talked endlessly, without the slightest room for Uncle to think.

The uncle was a little confused, and couldn't answer his question for a while.

"It's an animal, not a person!" Xiao D added with great interest: "Do you know that many feudal superstitions were defeated when the Cultural Revolution broke the Four Olds? Jump God! Shaman! Fortune teller! Even the most authentic Maoshan Dao technique has not been spared, only the horse has not fallen. ”

Uncle didn't go through that period, so I didn't know the specific situation at that time, although I heard the elders around me mention it, but in the end I just listened to some scraps, so I could only be an audience and listen to him explain quietly.

But the person in front of him clearly looks like a young stubble who has just entered the society, what the uncle didn't expect was that he knew so much about this kind of history, and he had put so much effort into these historical issues.

Xiao D's explanation did not stop, and he did not take into account the feelings of the uncle.

"Because the horse is different from those charlatans! Don't catch any ethereal souls or ghosts, it's real! There is no underworld, so there is no psychic summoning, as for fate, it is changing at any time, who can really be sure? ”

"Looks like you're an atheist!" Uncle understood a little, "Then why do you believe in the horse?" It is also a kind of feudal superstition, a kind of thing like strange power and chaos, which does not conform to science and runs counter to your beliefs? ”

Xiao D looked at him with interest, and only after a while did he throw out a question.

"If you saw an ant on the road and it accidentally fell into the water and it couldn't survive on its own, what would you do if you wanted to help it?" Little D throws such a simple question.

Uncle was almost amused by this question, and replied without the slightest hesitation, "Of course it is to fish it out and put it away." After a pause, he asked, "Are you still satisfied with this answer?" The implication is full of provocation.

"Yes!" Xiao D recognized Uncle Xiao's answer, but ignored his question, "Then when you help the ants, can the ants realize who you are?" Are you one of their ant race? Or can they feel you? ”

"Forehead.......," the uncle scratched his head, "but why should I help an ant, for us, the life of an ant is basically something that can be ignored." ”

"What if that ant looks up at you in the water, makes a gesture of goodwill at you, or even if there is a mark on the ant that you know well?"

Uncle was a little speechless for a while, and he was stunned for a long time before he picked it up. "Then I might be curious! After all, an ant should be unintelligent, how can it beg me to save it? ”

Xiao D showed a treacherous smile on his face, and then said: "Actually, the family fairy looks at those disciples who come out of the horse in the same way, they are more intelligent than us, just like we are to ants. ”

"We are like God to them, like God." Uncle finally came to his senses and picked up his words.

"You're in a general way, but it's telling." Xiao D helped him add, "There is a saying that ants are two-dimensional creatures, and their lives only have faces, even if they crawl up and down, for them, they only walk back and forth. Human beings are three-dimensional creatures, and the interference of three-dimensional creatures is a miracle for them. In other words, even if you pick the ants up from the water, they will only feel that the island is floating and sending them to land, and they will not realize that it is a creature called humans that has saved them. ”

"Are you off topic?" Uncle was slightly embarrassed.

"It's that you don't quite understand it yet." Xiao D didn't plan to close the conversation, after all, in such a boring journey, it was not so easy to find someone to listen to the story with peace of mind.

"Let me ask you again, how many dimensional creatures are humans?"

Uncle thought he was testing what he had learned in college, "Three-dimensional creatures! Are you taunting me? ”

Xiao D ignored his emotions and then asked, "What about the space of three-dimensional creatures?" ”

The uncle was a little impatient, these questions were too monotonous and boring, making him feel as if he was being humiliated, and said with a little anger: "This kind of thing that children know, you have to ask me!" ”

"Three-dimensional refers to the front, back, left, right, up and down in space, that is, the space of human activities, three-dimensional space. ”

Uncle nodded and signaled to let him continue.

"The fourth dimension is generally believed to be the timeline, and human beings can only move forward according to time, and cannot control the timeline, that is, they cannot go back to the past and go to the future."

"Does this have anything to do with the horse? You're getting more and more off topic! Uncle reminded Xiao D to go back to the previous topic.

Xiao D changed his comfortable posture and faced his uncle, and it seemed that he had a lot to say next, "Since you are in such a hurry, I won't come step by step!" ”

"I can't ask for it." The uncle was also sitting upright, looking like he was listening to the story carefully.

"The family immortal invited in the horse is a four-dimensional creature wandering in the timeline, because the four-dimensional creature can manipulate the timeline"

This sentence made the uncle's eyelids tremble, and he connected the previous explanation into a line in his mind.

"The immortals invited from the horse can know the past and the future, all of which are attributed to their wisdom, just ask, if there really are four-dimensional creatures, then can they also manipulate the timeline and move around in time at will?"

"Yes!" Uncle didn't interrupt this time.

Xiao D stretched out his hand, a hand that matched his appearance, fair and clean, with clear lines.

He used his two hands up and down, his left hand on top and his right hand on bottom, "Now, this is the four-dimensional space," he waved his left hand.

"It's our space." He gestured to the uncle with his right hand.

"Human beings have the same space for ants, but ants can't perceive humans, but human thinking is extremely keen, if they are in the same space, human beings will never be unaware of the existence of four-dimensional creatures, so from this point of view, four-dimensional space and three-dimensional space are parallel, just like this."

Little D folded his hands together, "Parallel but there will be contact." ”

"How do you know there's contact?" Uncle didn't forget to refute.

Little D let go of his hand, "You know about ghosts!" ”

Uncle wanted to laugh for a while, "Don't you don't believe in ghosts and gods?" Do you scientists get involved with ghosts when you encounter something you can't understand? Like Newton who finally believed in God? ”

Xiao D was a little discouraged, rolled his eyes, and scolded with a little anger: "I haven't finished talking yet!" He glanced at the uncle and continued: "Many people have witnessed ghosts! But it's all untouchable, isn't it? ”

Without waiting for Uncle Xiao to answer, Xiao D continued to himself: "For example, if you look in the mirror, the shadow that appears in the mirror is actually a two-dimensional creature, right? But if the two-dimensional creature sees you, it finds that it can't touch you! What will they think is this? ”

"Ghosts!" What the uncle said was categorical.

"That's right! Ghost! If a four-dimensional creature also leaves a projection, should it be a three-dimensional creature? That's what we often call ghosts! ”

Uncle forgot to even refute it.

"Four-dimensional creatures can manipulate time, which is why there are some ghosts, which have been witnessed for hundreds of years! Same! Xiao D seemed to be over, and breathed a sigh of relief, and Uncle Ren was stunned there alone.

In the carriage on the first floor, there was a moment of silence.

Uncle Xiao remembered the initial question. "What does this have to do with your injuries?"

"I told you about the problem before! The soul, that is, the mind, can easily pass through the barrier between the two worlds! But the body is not good, the wormhole connecting the two worlds is a terrible thing, it is said to decompose people into an atomic state, and I think this body was injured at that time. ”

One amazement after another, "You mean?" You're from the 4th Dimension? So you can manipulate time? Do you know when I'm going to die? Do you know how many girlfriends I've had? What school did I attend in college? Uncle asked a lot of questions.

"I don't know!" Xiao D replied coldly.

"Then you still say ......"

"I never said that I came from the four-dimensional space, I said this body, this body does not belong to me, I am a member of this world!" Little D was a little angry.

"How do you prove it?"

Xiao D seemed to be thinking about how to prove that he was himself in front of this stranger, and said after a long time: "My name is Y (inconvenient to disclose), and my family lives at No. 103, C Street, X District, Z City. Xiao D reached for the ID card in his pocket, using his left hand.

"Look," Xiao D showed his ID card, but it said, "F (name not disclosed)." 10 T Street, Area E, City of N"

The uncle smiled, completely amused by him, "I think you are too good at learning and thinking too much." Uncle sneered, "But the theory you said is right, that is, you love fantasy at a young age!" It seems that geniuses are crazy, and this is true! ”

"I really didn't lie to you, my body was replaced by the person in the four-dimensional space, my body contained his mind, and his body was abandoned, so I moved in, and I am now homeless." Xiao D was a little anxious and tried to make Uncle believe him.

Maybe the conversation was too engrossed, so the sky was slightly bright, neither of them noticed, the driver stopped to add water, Xiao D got out of the car silently, Uncle originally wanted to persuade him, but after thinking about it, maybe he was just a psychopath, masochist, forget it.

After arriving home, the uncle rested at home for a day, and when the uncle got into the car again the next day, he routinely checked his personal information, and suddenly saw a familiar message, "Name: F, N City, No. 10, T Street, E District." ”

When I looked up at the car, it was a cold and unfamiliar smile.
