Chapter 61: A Mysterious Dream
When we got home, my mom was already asleep, and we tiptoed back to my house.
Luckily, my bed was bunk-decker, so I didn't have to squeeze in with Li Ru.
After a day of tossing, I was already physically and mentally exhausted. And Li Ru lost his soul before, so he also urgently needed sleep to allow his body to adjust itself and stabilize his body and soul. So after a while, the two of us went to sleep.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I dreamed that I had come to a strange place, the sky was gray, the earth was yellow, the surroundings were bleak, there were no pedestrians on the road, and there were no residents in the building, as if it were an abandoned place.
The tall chimney in the distance disagreed with me, and white smoke rose into the air from the chimney mouth, connecting with the gray sky, making it difficult to tell whether it was the smoke or the smoke-like clouds that covered the earth.
I stood in the concrete city and felt the dead silence around me.
Where is this? Is there anyone here? All sorts of questions kept popping up in my mind, but unfortunately no one gave me answers.
I walked towards a dilapidated building. It was a small two-story building made of red brick, and the mottled walls were dotted with the corpses of morning glories, as if they had run out of nutrients, and as if no vigorous life was allowed here.
A large, broken cobweb tightly shielded the dusty window frame, and there were shriveled insect corpses hanging on the web, perhaps the scraps left by the owner of the web after a full meal, or perhaps the web had long since lost its owner, and the unfortunate ghost who had strayed into the trap could only starve to death.
I can't tell why I chose to come to this building, but there is a gravitational pull in the dark that I can't resist.
There was a voice in my heart that seemed to tell me that this was my home.
I felt both familiar and strange, and I was sure that I had never been here, but in my mind I could imagine a child who looked very much like me playing downstairs.
There should be a beautiful woman upstairs watching me silently, and that should be my mother.
It feels like this, but in fact, I know in my heart that my mother doesn't look like that!
Unconsciously raised his head to look at the window sealed by cobwebs, but found a shadow flashing through the window, as if there was someone in the room.
I couldn't help but feel a throbbing in my heart, I should have felt scared at this time, but this fear was completely suppressed by the excitement, and I was thrilled by a feeling of longing to be reunited with my loved ones. Controlling my feet, I walked quickly to the rusty iron door, and the moment I touched the door, an inexplicable sadness overflowed from my eyes, and I closed my eyes and said in a trembling voice: "I'm back!" ”
The gate opened, and I opened my hazy teary eyes, and the scene behind the gate changed in an instant, all the ruins disappeared without a trace, and there were flowers everywhere, and two white puppies ran towards me excitedly, their tails wagging at me, as if to express their excitement.
I crouched down and caressed them, my soft, moist little tongue licked my hand hot, and a kind old woman came out of the door on the first floor, and I saw that she felt strangely familiar, but she couldn't open her mouth, and didn't know what to call it.
The two puppies at my feet seemed to be expecting me to call them names, but my mind was blank and I didn't know what they were.
I suddenly felt a chill in my back, and I realized that I seemed to be playing the role of someone who had lived here. I have the ability to imitate that person so vividly that no one can see the slightest flaw, not even the two puppies can tell that I am a fake, but I forgot to speak to him, I don't know the names of everyone, I don't know what to call them, and I don't even know what kind of relationship they have with me.
I was in a state of fear, I was afraid to face the moment when I was exposed! I have to get out of here right now!
Ignoring the old woman's stunned look, I turned and left. The two puppies seemed to think I was playing a game with them, and ran over and bit my trouser leg to prevent me from leaving.
It's hard to understand why two puppies have so much strength that I can't lift my legs as if they were filled with lead.
The old woman was already coming to me with a puzzled face, and I could not let her come any closer, for I was afraid that she would come and catch me, and I would not be able to leave.
Looking at the close door I couldn't do anything, this feeling made me feel terrible, the inexplicable irritability made my anger uncontrollable, turned around and kicked the puppy that grabbed my trouser legs, in the puppy wailing, my legs were finally free.
I hurried towards the gate, but it closed slowly before my eyes. It was as if my movements had been slowed down, and each step was extraordinarily long, and the moment the door closed completely, I finally grabbed both sides of the gate, and with a force of my arms, I finally escaped from it.
Looking back, I saw a scene of amazement, my eyes seemed to have the ability to see through the inside of the gate.
The old woman looked very sad when I walked out, and the two puppies seemed to be a little lonely because I had kicked them twice for no reason.
The old woman withered like broken porcelain, and finally collapsed and fell to the ground and turned to dust.
When the two puppies saw the old woman turn to dust, they both rolled on the spot, and a wisp of green smoke rose and they disappeared.
The original flowery courtyard suddenly seemed to enter the late autumn in an instant, all the flowers withered and fell, the tender green leaves and stems withered and turned yellow, I don't know where to crawl out of a palm-sized black spider, shiny and shiny, flashing metallic luster, quickly forming a web in the yard, a huge unbelievable spider web covered the entire courtyard, and the huge spider gradually withered in the process of weaving the web, and before the whole web was finished, it seemed to have exhausted its vitality, fell to the ground, and turned into a pool of dirty blood, Instantly absorbed by the earth.
That cobweb has also become an unfinished work.
I blinked slightly, and my eyes flew out of the courtyard and landed on the rusty gate. The clairvoyance I had just now seemed to be gone, and my eyes were back to normal.
The gate seemed to be more dilapidated, but there was a strange tranquility in my mood, as if I didn't have to worry about impersonating someone else, the building was still a building, and the inexplicable gravitational pull just now was gone.
Even if I stood at its feet, I didn't cause ripples in my heart in the slightest.
It seemed like a beautiful misunderstanding, and after a brief encounter with it, it felt that I was not the one it was waiting for, and that I was not one of the people in the house.
We all recognize each other, since we are not the one who is waiting, after the intersection, we will only become stranger and stranger.
"Why aren't you him......"
A voice sounded behind me, with a deep sense of sadness.
I turned around and saw a girl in a long green dress, her long hair fluttering in the wind, her eyes were misty, staring at the dilapidated window, and the dusty glass reflected the loneliness in her eyes, which made people feel distressed when they looked at it.
"Who are you?" I asked curiously.
"You don't even remember this place, and you won't remember me." The woman said lightly.
I scratched my head and asked her, "Here...... What is it? ”
"Your home." The woman turned her gaze to me, her black crystal eyes glittering with a moving brilliance, as if there were endless stories hidden in them, if it were not for the loneliness in her eyes, then she must be a beautiful woman.
"My home?" I shook my head: "How did I not know?" ”
"Didn't you just say it, you don't remember this place anymore." The woman took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "It still remembers you, you can vaguely smell the smell of the year here, but unfortunately it is a matter of people, you stand in front of it, but you don't know each other, and you make people." ”
"I don't understand what you're talking about." I looked at the woman in front of me, she was like a woman who came out of a painting, fresh and refined, and did not eat the fireworks of the world.
