Chapter 2: Awakening from a Dream in the Last Days

One morning in March 2013, the morning sun shined through the curtains on the big bed in the house, I woke up and opened my eyes, staring straight at the ceiling, my name is Qu Yi, I had a dream last night, in the dream I was surprised and fearful, to confused, desperate, and finally to firm and persistent.

Jiang Zhi made breakfast in the kitchen, went to the bedroom to wake me up for breakfast, and found that I woke up by myself today without his three urgings, but his eyes were stunned, not like he had just woken up, so he said:

"What's the matter, I can't get up when I wake up, and it's too late to go to work in a while."

"My husband ......," I played a long note, and I was a little hesitant in my heart, and there was some unnatural softness in my voice. "I'm so uncomfortable, I'm going to take a leave of absence today."

My name Jiang Zhi has always been "old ginger, old ginger", only when he is coquettish to Jiang Zhi, he will call him "husband", he often says that it is too numb, he is an old husband and wife, so that others can not afford to lose that person. Besides, every time Jiang Zhi heard me call me "husband", he felt his eyelids were beating and his heart was frightened, so I thought it was me always calling, which was too bad for Jiang Zhi's physical and mental health.

"Who told you to read the novel so late last night, and you're not a child anymore, and you still believe in the rebirth in the novel, the last days, it's true." Jiang Zhi looked at my slightly red eyes and said babblingly.

"Old Jiang, if you don't say a word, I'm going to die of discomfort." I stared at Jiang Zhi with small eyes. I can't be gentle.

"Okay, good, good, you're the boss, okay." He touched my forehead and saw that there was no fever, so it should be fine. "Then you can sleep a little longer, and I'll call you to ask for leave. I'll put the rice in the pot for you to warm, and you can eat it when you get up in a while, and I'll go to deliver the child in a while. After saying that, Jiang Zhi pulled the quilt for me again and went out. I know that Jiang Zhi is a cold-hearted person, except for me and my son, he is also indifferent to his family.

"Hmm." I let out a low hum and rolled over and buried my face in the quilt.

Actually, I still have 2 classes today, but I really don't want to go anywhere now, I just want to stay at home and think about some extra memories in my brain.

I had a long, long dream last night, the dream lasted for 5 years, I saw the end of the world in the dream, it was the real end of the world, from earthquakes, tsunamis, diseases to floods, hot summers, cold winters, step by step, I went from not believing to not believing, and finally I couldn't believe it, the disasters of nature are too terrible, not human beings can stop and sway, in this dream, I am like a ghost, a passerby, floating in the air, others can't see me, but I can see others struggling with hunger and cold, I saw my brothers fight over a bite of food; saw a family that was originally harmonious and warm because of a mouthful of water and his wife was separated; I also saw a proud man lose his dignity in a harsh, cruel environment; I saw the earth cracking with drought; Seeing that the dealer is out of production because of lack of water; Seeing the forest blaze with heat; I saw that the heavy snow had crushed the power lines; I saw the old man freezing to death at home. I saw a man die in front of me. I felt very desperate, I was scared, I wanted to see how my family was doing, I wanted to go see Lao Jiang, I wanted to see my son. But the more anxious I was, the more I couldn't find a home, I flew in the air, searched everywhere, shouted over and over again in my dreams, where, where, where! I saw a black cloud in front of me floating towards me quickly, and when I came to me, I realized that there was a locust, they waved their wings, opened their sharp teeth, and pounced on me, I had nowhere to hide, watching them pass through my body, this scene was too shocking for me, I screamed desperately, screamed desperately.

Dream, woke up. When I opened my eyes, it took me a while to regain consciousness, but the scene in my dream was as deeply engraved in my mind as my memory.

I buried my face in the quilt, the quilt absorbed the tears in my eyes, I clung to the quilt tightly, and vowed to protect my son, my family, even in the last days, I want my family to be fed, clothed, and able to live well.

When Jiang Zhi walked into the bedroom again, he saw that I was still in the same posture as before he went out, and hurriedly stepped forward to turn my round body over and hold it in his arms.

"What's wrong, are you really uncomfortable?" Jiang Zhi pushed his glasses.

"Nope." I looked at Jiang Zhi with tears in my eyes.

"Then why are you crying so well, your eyes are red." Jiang Zhi raised his hand and crossed my eyes, and said with a little doting: "How old are you, and you are still the same as your son, so you are not ashamed." "Jiang Zhi is not a person who can speak sweet words, but I still hear the pity for me in his words.

I sniffed, took a deep breath, put my arms around Jiang Zhi, and said as if I had made up my mind: "Husband, I said that I dreamed last night that the end of the world was coming, do you believe me?" ”

After I finished speaking, I stared at Jiang Zhi without blinking. I know that Jiang Zhi won't believe it, and a normal person can't believe my groundless words.

Sure enough, Jiang Zhi was stunned, reflexively patted my head, and said helplessly: "Good, good, good, I believe, I believe." ”

I saw Jiang Zhi's perfunctory, and strings of tears fell from his red eyes. This frightened Jiang Zhi.

"Daughter-in-law, let's not read the apocalyptic text in the future, you see that 2012 has passed, and the country has refuted the rumors, there is really no end of the world, it is all fiction, it is made up blindly, no, no, no, it is artistic processing. Let's look at the reborn and crossed in the future, okay. Jiang Zhi's eyes were warm, and he hugged me and shook him, hoping that his daughter-in-law would pass quickly this time.

Alas, he thinks it's not easy to be a husband, in addition to working hard to feed his daughter-in-law's various needs, he also likes what his daughter-in-law likes, and loves what his daughter-in-law loves, he was also forced by his daughter-in-law to read several novels, what traveled to ancient times to hook an emperor and became a queen, what was reborn to make a fortune when he was a child, what the end of the world is coming, the virus is rampant, zombies are everywhere, and abilities are flying all over the sky, he feels too unreliable.

"Old Jiang, I really dreamed of the end times." I hesitated a little as I spoke, then spoke again. "When I woke up, I felt like an empty, wet place, like a space, why don't we try it, can we go in......"

As he spoke, he grabbed Jiang Zhi's hand, and silently thought into it, and the space around him was distorted, and our husband and wife disappeared in place.
