Chapter 31: Dreams
Everything came to an abrupt end at this moment, but the lingering afterglow was incomparably long......
The first brother felt as if he had a big dream...... And now, it's time to wake up from this dream.
He shook his head weakly, barely dispelling the heaviness in his heart, time passed silently, and before he knew it, it was already dark and the night was falling.
"This is ......" At this moment, the first brother's eyes suddenly turned pink.
Only then did he realize that in the last compartment of the notebook, there was a letter hidden.
It was a letter that even he felt extremely unfamiliar...... And on the pink lettershell, you can vaguely see a few lines of blurry but unusually beautiful fonts.
"It should be, it's Erya's handwriting." The first brother nodded secretly.
Even after all that time had passed, he could still make out her handwriting at a glance, like a memory engraved in his soul.
"And this letter is ......"
Looking at this letter, Brother Yi couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and at the same time, his face also showed a bit of remembrance.
In his only vague memory, it seems that when he left Pengcheng, Er Ya stuffed it into his hand with tears in his eyes.
It's just that he was a little uneasy at that time, and he also had a lot of complaints about Erya.
So, in the end, he just hastily tucked the letter in his notebook...... Later, this letter and this notebook, along with his extremely unbearable memories, were pressed at the bottom of the box and completely sealed.
It is not until today that it has seen the light of day.
Brother Yi's hands began to tremble unconsciously...... In fact, in the bottom of his heart, there are still many doubts, which is also the real reason why he has not come out so far.
His intuition told him that as long as he opened the letter, everything would be finally answered.
It's just that, at the end, he flinched again.
He was a little timid.
He would rather live like an ostrich and bury his head in the sand without paying attention......
Only he knows that although time has passed, in fact, he has not crossed the threshold in his heart, so he will return to this small mountain village where he was born and raised, and spend day after day.
"Does it make sense?" Looking at the letter in front of him, a wry smile appeared on the face of the first brother.
It was all a foregone conclusion: she carried endless light and took root in that city of great light; And he, with scars all over his body, died in this dark mountain village.
The two intersecting straight lines are staggered, drifting apart, and it is impossible for them to intersect in the slightest way, either now or in the future.
"Hey......"
The first brother sighed helplessly, and cherished the letter back in his notebook.
"Everything, that's it."
……
After dealing with a few mouthfuls, the first brother went to bed early.
Since he returned to the village, he has always lived a life like this: wandering around with nothing to do during the day, and hiding under the covers early at night, constantly playing with his mobile phone until he falls asleep......
If you want to talk about the night in this village, the night will come much earlier than expected.
In the depths of the night, the village was soon left with only a few lights, and the rest was mostly silent, quiet and bleak.
As in the past, he would also find a few Japanese female teachers with great interest to learn postures, but today, I don't know if because of the expectations in his heart, or a series of things encountered during the day, at this time he only felt extremely tired, as soon as he got into bed, his eyelids began to fight violently.
Even the mobile phone was left aside by him and ignored it.
I don't know how long it took, but Brother Yi woke up suddenly, and looked at the dark room with dull eyes, "I'm ...... Asleep? ”
His consciousness still seems to be somewhat lucid, but in fact, he doesn't know whether he is in reality or a dream at this time......
Suddenly, in all corners of the room, a thick mist suddenly began to surge, and along with these hazes constantly rolling, from time to time there were some golden lightning rays shuttling through it, emitting dazzling light...... It looks a bit like the inferior five-cent special effects in domestic TV dramas.
After a while, a rickety figure suddenly emerged from the smoke...... It was the old man he had been waiting for.
"Perhaps, I'm in a dream?" Looking at the full clear figure in front of him stupidly, the first brother shook his head vigorously, trying to try his best to keep himself awake.
Then he laughed speechlessly.
It's also a bit funny, forcing himself to stay awake in a dream, his brain circuit, can really be regarded as a scorpion poop - the only one.
The fog rolled over, and the figure of the old man became clearer and clearer...... It was the mysterious old man he dreamed of every day.
Watching him approach him step by step, Brother Yi's heart instantly began to get excited.
I saw that the old man looked at the first brother kindly, and seemed to be looking forward to asking:
"Takeaway, takeaway, is your mountain a mountain of gold, a mountain of silver, or an ordinary mountain?"
The first brother's expression froze for a moment, and it took a long time to remember that he was calling himself.
"Ordinary mountain, ordinary mountain, my family's mountain, just ordinary mountain"
The first brother replied loudly, with a glint of anticipation in his eyes, he was waiting...... A miracle happens.
The old man's pupils dilated instantly, and the gushing snort raised his long beard, and he asked in disbelief, "What are you talking about, an ordinary mountain?" ”
The first brother was a little puzzled, but he still replied loudly: "Yes, my family's mountain is just an ordinary mountain. ”
The old man's face showed a little relieved, "You are an honest child, and an honest child naturally has to be rewarded." ”
"So, you'll get a mountain of gold and a mountain of silver!"
Immediately afterwards, a heroic laugh sounded from all directions of the first brother, and the smoke rolled towards the old man again, enveloping his figure, and gradually disappeared......
"That's it?" The first brother looked at the scene in front of him with a blank expression, and the whole person was instantly stunned.
If he was still a child, he might really believe this old man's nonsense, but now he has been beaten by society for several years, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be as innocent as a child.
"If you tell me that there is a treasure in the mountain, or even that there is One Piece of One Piece, I might believe it. But you say mountains of gold and silver...... I believe you have a ghost! ”
But faintly, he always felt that this old man seemed to have something to say, but he couldn't understand it for a while, and in addition, he also had a strong intuition that it might be impossible for him to meet this old man again in a short time.
However, in the near future, they will definitely meet again.
The sun shines through the window screen and shines on the not very handsome face of the first brother...... His hands waved for no reason, as if he were driving something.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, and everything he had experienced in his dream was still vivid.
He got up sharply and ran barefoot to the window,
That mountain is still that mountain, not at all, nothing has changed......
He sat on the ground in a gloomy state, and all the strength of his body was completely drained at this moment.
