Chapter 3 Say thank you for the humiliation
By the time everything was done, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
Shi Lei walked into another bedroom tiredly, lay on the bed, and unconsciously thought of Lin Tong and Yu Xin.
In the evening, the mobile phone had already received a message about a 500,000 transfer in the bank card.
Whether it was pity or humiliation, he didn't know, maybe both, but the most important thing was that he could immediately take his father to receive better medical conditions, so there was still a sense of gratitude in his heart.
As for Yu Xin, he is the person he doesn't want to live up to the most, but the reality at the moment makes him powerless to take care of him and fulfill his previous promises, so what happens in the future, let it be fate.
With a hint of anticipation, a hint of a smile, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
I don't know when it started, as long as Shi Lei fell asleep, he would dream, dreaming that he appeared in a glorious hall, and it was exactly the same every time.
It is said to be a dream, but it is very real, and when I wake up the next day, I remember all my actions in the dream clearly, as if I had experienced it myself. Strange dreams, which had been with him for so many years, he had not told anyone, including his father.
Every time he appeared in the main hall before, he would panic and get nervous. Because it was quiet, there was no one else and no other life, only the occasional sound of footsteps and the slight sound of breathing.
But not so long ago, he began to like this feeling again, and liked this quietness. Because here you can escape from all reality, without thinking about anything, the whole world seems to exist only by itself.
He likes this loneliness
The main hall is spectacular and wide. In the middle, there are two rows of thick pillars that require five or six people to hug, stretching from one end of the hall to the other, at least five hundred meters in length.
All the pillars were dark gold, carved with countless creatures of all kinds, fangs dancing and grabbing, and that fierce aura came to the face.
Shi Lei had never seen any of these creatures on the pattern, and he was used to it from being scared at first glance.
On both sides of the two rows of pillars, the width of the main hall is at least two or three hundred meters, but it is empty, and the entire hall is surrounded by a gray-black material, flashing with a metallic luster.
The floor beneath his feet was like a huge, golden mirror. His vague figure was reflected.
By the way, at the end of the pillar, there is also a huge golden seat, and it feels like you need a giant with a height of at least twenty meters to sit there.
"What the hell is this place, why do I come here every night?" Shi Lei couldn't help muttering to himself every time he appeared, although he had been here countless times, he was still shocked.
The sound of footsteps began to sound in the main hall continuously, and he walked to the golden seat in front of him as usual.
Looking up, the position of the butt of the seat is also much higher than himself, at least about five meters.
Extending along both sides of the seat, there are also many strange patterns, deeply carved into them.
"Can you tell me why I'm here?"
Shi Lei stared at the chair and asked, the loud voice spread around, and the echo kept ringing.
Still as usual, the chair did not react at all, and nothing changed.
However, the difference is that Shi Lei made a decision after a while, he wanted to climb up, follow the unevenness of the pattern on both sides of the chair, step by step, and carefully climb up.
However, as the body slowly elevated, the whole person had an inexplicable depression from head to toe, making himself more and more breathless, especially the feeling of being shocked in his heart became clearer and clearer.
If someone was at his bedside at this time, it would be clear that he began to sweat in his sleep, and later, even the thin pajamas and leaflets under him gradually became soaked.
"Ahh
But now I can't let go, and at this time I am already four meters in the air. He had no doubt that if he let go now, he would be thrown to death in his sleep, because the feeling was too real.
Enduring more and more intense pain, Shi Lei slowly approached the top, and later, so that his whole body began to spasm and tremble involuntarily and painfully, he really couldn't imagine that there was anything more painful in this world.
But he was born with extreme tenacity and perseverance, and finally, with both hands at the same time, grabbed the edge of the chair, accompanied by a terrifying shout. The head appeared on the seat, and then the body and legs climbed up little by little.
With a "bang", Shi Lei seemed to have lost all strength and intuition, closed his eyes, and fell dead on the seat, only his chest that continued to rise and fall violently proved that he was still alive.
There was no inhibition or shock on the seats, and the entire hall began to become extremely quiet again.
I don't know how long it took, Shi Lei started to move slowly from his fingers, then propped up his forearm and slowly stood up from the chair.
There is only one pattern on the chair, black and white water* melting, like the yin and yang fish of Tai Chi, but it is more complex than the latter.
He bent down, stretched out his hand and touched the black and white under his feet little by little, and could clearly feel a deep charm coming out of it, which made people inexplicably distracted.
However, at this moment, a slight cry suddenly came from the black and white pattern, "Child, come back." “
Shi Lei stood up suddenly, his eyes widened in horror, and his feet couldn't help but step back.
Then he stepped into the air and fell off the chair.
With an "ah", Shi Lei sat up from the bed violently, panting continuously, and his eyes showed a look of fear.
"Stone, what's wrong with you? Are you having nightmares?" came an intermittent, slightly concerned voice from next door.
Shi Lei came back to his senses and responded, "Dad, I'm fine, it's just a nightmare, don't worry about me, you can go back to sleep." “
When the words fell, I realized that my voice was hoarse like a fire, and my body was extremely thirsty.
So, get up and get ready to get some water. As a result, as soon as he moved, there was a sore pain all over his body, which made him snort coldly.
And I clearly felt that I was already soaking wet.
Shi Lei involuntarily remembered what happened in the dream, and his lips trembled a little in horror,
"Could it be that the situation in the dream is reflected in reality?"
Every time I woke up from a dream before, I was refreshed and my mind was extremely full and full, but this is the first time I woke up, and it was exactly the same as the feeling of my body in the dream.
So I unconsciously remembered the last sentence, and through the voice of the soul, I felt a chill in my heart.
For the first time, he began to examine himself seriously, to examine the dreams that had been appearing for a long time, and suddenly found that he was full of mystery, and that hall and that seat were even more mysterious.
Shi Lei endured the soreness all over his body, got out of bed and poured some cold water, and poured it down his throat with a clatter.
After the thirst in his body slowly subsided, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked through the small window in the basement to see that the sky outside was already bright, but the sun had not yet come out.
So, I took off my soaked pajamas and prepared to scrub them again.
Hearing the movement outside, Shi Shan opened his eyes again with a little unease, "Shi, aren't you sleeping? It's still early." “
"Dad, the cover is too thick to sleep at night, I sweat all over, I can't sleep, I'll take a shower first. “
As he spoke, the bathroom sounded the sound of running water.
After cleaning, Shi Lei changed into a refreshing suit again, and the sun was already shining through slightly.
He walked into the hut in Stone Mountain and smiled embarrassedly, "Dad, I can't sleep even after making you noisy." “
"Silly boy, I'm nothing, I have time to sleep all day, not bad for a while. It's you, since you were a child, I've never seen you have nightmares, it seems that you've been under too much pressure these days, hey. “
Shi Shan looked at his son distressedly, hated his incompetence, hated why God treated his family like this, he was already left with father and son to depend on each other, and he had to torture himself with such a disease and drag his son down.
Shi Lei sat on the edge of the bed and began to help his father with the movement and massage of his whole body muscles to prevent atrophy, while remembering what happened in his dream tonight, he always felt that it was not as he thought before, it was completely fake, and his lips trembled and he didn't know how to speak.
Shi Shan smiled, "Stone, just say whatever you want, there is something we father and son can't say." “
Shi Lei hesitated for a moment, and said in a somewhat neurotic tone, "Dad, do you believe that there are some things in this world that are beyond the scope of science? “
For some reason, he vaguely saw his father's eyelids twitch slightly.
If it were an ordinary parent, they would definitely laugh and say, silly child, why are you so superstitious at a young age.
But Shi Shan was silent, looked at his son, didn't speak for a long time, and finally said in a slightly deep voice, "Say it, I'll listen." He closed his eyes at the same time.
Shi Lei didn't know why he began to feel uneasy in his heart, and said, "Dad, in fact, I have had a dream every night since about five years ago. Whenever I fall asleep, I appear in a very grand hall. “
"The main hall?" Shi Shan suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils constricted, and although the corners of his mouth were crooked, he could still see an incredible expression.
Shi Lei nodded slightly and began a detailed description.
His father, on the other hand, slowly relaxed from the incredulity at the beginning, staring at the cement slab above his head with wide eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
When the dream was described, neither of them spoke and fell into a long silence.
In the end, Shi Lei couldn't bear the loneliness, and after massaging all the muscles on Shi Shan's body, he asked softly, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Shi Shan let out a long breath and licked his lips unconsciously, "Shi, I used to have that dream with your mother, it's exactly the same." “
