Chapter 15: The Dream of Dreams (1)

In the warm sun, in the central park of the city, Xu Zinan sat under the kapok tree, bathing in the early spring sunshine.

The grass under his feet is thick, and the kapok on the trees is clustered, like red clouds. The hummingbird flapped its wings and stopped in front of a kapok to suck the nectar, and the startled wind made the flower tremble a little.

Xu Zinan looked up, and a kapok flower was spinning leisurely and falling on his shoulder, falling in his palm.

He looked at the large, fiery red flower, with heavy petals and distinct stripes, and a puddle of nectar hidden in the long yellow slender stamen.

At this moment, Xu Zinan vaguely heard a voice in his ear speaking:

"Drink, drink this nectar......"

Xu Zinan drank the nectar in a daze, and a faint floral fragrance was refreshing.

How nice it would be if it were in a tree.

"Ning'er, Nan'er." A soft call rang in his ears.

Hearing someone calling, Xu Zinan turned his head and saw his mother sitting not far away waving to him.

"Mother."

"Ning'er, Nan'er, come over to Mom's place."

Xu Zinan stood up, and He Zining slowly walked towards his mother, who stretched out her hands to greet them.

But at this time, Xu Zinan suddenly fell under his feet, his eyes gradually darkened, and his vision began to blur.

Zining walked over to his mother and looked at him with her and smiled.

He stood up and stretched out his hand to his mother, but his mother's figure suddenly dissipated like dust, Xu Zinan wanted to shout, but he couldn't, he ran over and tried to grab their hands, but he didn't catch anything.

It was completely dark in front of my eyes.

The night, it's still so dark. I don't know how long it took, a firelight in the distance slowly approached, closer and closer, closer and closer, illuminating Xu Zinan's face red.

It's a raging fire!

Something was burning, the flames rose into the sky, the fierce whistling of the flames, and the sound of the wind echoed in my ears.

Xu Zinan's vision slowly turned red, and slowly became red......

Until, a bright light pierced his eyes.

Xu Zinan was lying on the bed, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. Call...... It turned out to be a dream. Xu Zinan sat on the bed, the sun was already shining on his bedside.

He got up, poured a glass of water, and drank it down.

When I came out of the living room, the porridge in the kitchen was still muffling, wafting a wisp of fragrance.

"I don't know what kind of breakfast Zining is making today, this girl, it's good to have a sister, hehe."

Xu Zinan felt comfortable and satisfied in his heart.

After washing, Xu Zinan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony, looking at the scenery in front of him.

The road is already full of traffic, people are in a hurry, and a few old men under the banyan tree are leisurely playing chess.

Xu Zinan looked not far away, the road there was a little crowded, a group of people were talking about something, the vehicles were honking their horns a little impatiently, and there was a commotion from the crowd.

Xu Zinan frowned. Turning around and walking towards the kitchen, the porridge in the pot was already boiling and emitting a piercing scream.

Xu Zinan didn't see Zi Ning, turned off the fire under the pot, and walked towards Zi Ning's room.

"Zining." Xu Zinan knocked on the door, but no one answered.

"Zining!" The voice raised a few points, but still no one responded.

Xu Zinan pushed open the door, the quilt on the bed was neatly folded, and the slippers on the side of the bed had been worn away. There is a backpack on a stool, and on the table is a workbook that I didn't finish yesterday. It seems that he has already gone out to buy breakfast.

Xu Zinan's brain was suddenly stung by something, and the crowd of people appeared in front of him, and the sound of ambulances roared from the road downstairs.

With a bang, Xu Zinan rushed out of the door, bringing a gust of wind.

Running down the stairs frantically, the slippers were lost at some point. Ignoring the passing vehicles, he ran through the traffic light under the door of his house and ran barefoot towards the crowd.

There was the coldness of the feet on the soles of the feet, the hair was messy in the wind, the hands were clenched into fists, the nails were about to pierce the flesh, the eyes were red, and they ran wildly towards the crowd.

Try to smash through the crowd and squeeze into the middle of the clearing.

On the ground, a girl was lying in a pool of blood,

His hair was disheveled, and the white dress on his body was stained bright red with blood. The thin and fragile body was like a flower blown down by the wind and floated on the ground. The girl's eyes were closed, her brows were wrinkled together, she was suffering from something, a dazzling blood stain oozed from the corner of her mouth, and there were fried dough sticks and soy milk she had just bought scattered around her......

Xu Zinan's mind buzzed loudly, gradually becoming stronger, and gradually drowning his mind......

On his face, the corners of his mouth twitched suddenly, the blood of his eyes slowly faded, and a flash of light poured out of his eyes.

He slowly turned and walked back, his body trembling uncontrollably, his hands slowly loosened, and his palms turned pale.

"No, it's not her, it's not Zining......"

A miserable smile broke out on Xu Zinan's face, and a stream of heat slid down his cheeks, sticky and hot. His head was suddenly hit by a dizzy headache and tinnitus, and he fell to his knees with a "bang", his throat tightened, and he spat out a mouthful of bitter water.

Xu Zinan felt sore, his steps were heavy, he dragged his legs, and walked home step by step, and the sound of the ambulance gradually faded away......

The way home was so long, and he walked for a long time......

Passing by a breakfast shop, the owner greeted him cordially, Xu Zinan squeezed out a smile with all his strength on his face, but he was still so awkward and stiff.

The light in his eyes slowly converged, and he looked at the way home, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he walked across the road and walked home.

Xu Zinan sat on the sofa weakly, and Zining hadn't come back yet. took out a bottle of drink from the refrigerator, watched the news on TV, and watched it for a long time, the drink was not much drunk, there was already a puddle of water on the table, and the flashing images in the news engraved his pupils.

He was stunned and uneasy, like a nightmare.

A feeling of getting away with that bullet and brushing shoulders with death; The feeling of walking through hell and surviving in a desperate situation......

"Zinan, what's wrong with you, why do you look like this?" Xu Mingan came out of the room and looked at Xu Zinan with a confused expression.

Xu Zinan woke up from his melancholy, raised his head numbly, looked at the man in front of him indifferently, and asked:

"Have you seen Zining? Why hasn't she come back yet, it doesn't take so long to buy breakfast, right? ”

Xu Ming'an frowned after hearing this, his eyes stared at him, and after looking at him for a long time, his eyes suddenly revealed a sense of distress.

"Zinan, you, haven't you put it down yet?"

"Down? What do you mean? What do you want to say? Xu Zinan's voice was a little hurried.

"It's my father's fault, it's all my fault." Xu Ming'an's voice trembled, and his throat surged.

"I don't understand what you're saying, I asked you where Zining went, did you see her go downstairs to buy breakfast? It's a breakfast place that I eat a lot. Why hasn't she come back yet, she should be back soon? ”

Xu Zinan's voice was eager and nervous.

Xu Ming'an's body trembled a little, approached, put his arms around his shoulders, and held him in his arms.

"Zinan, wake up, it's not Zining, Zining and your mother are no longer here, and you prepared the breakfast after that day."

Xu Ming'an's cloudy eyes shed two lines of tears.

"Zinan, I'm sorry, my father made the wrong choice, I'm sorry for your mother, and I'm even more sorry for Zining, forgive my father, okay?"

Xu Zinan pushed Xu Ming'an away violently, his pupils vibrate, he shook his head frantically, and shouted loudly:

"No, you're lying to me! It's not true, it's not true. I just went to her room to see it, she went to buy breakfast, she was always there for me, you must be lying to me, you are lying to me. ”

Xu Zinan rushed to the door with bare feet, stretched out his hand, and slowly opened it.

In front of me, the quilt is neatly organized, there are no shoes next to the bed, there is no schoolbag on the stool, and there is no exercise book on the table...... The heavy curtain left only a crack, and a ray of light penetrated in, illuminating a path of dust that flew up and down. When I opened the closet, there were still the new clothes they bought together that day......

Xu Zinan looked at the scene that no longer existed in front of him, sat on the ground dejectedly, his pupils dilated, his face stiffened, his breathing became rapid, his lips trembled, the corners of his mouth slowly deformed, he forcibly endured the shaking of his throat, holding his head with both hands, and had a splitting headache.

"Zinan, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you. I could only rescue you that night, and when I returned, the car exploded and engulfed them. I know you miss them and I think about them all the time......"

"Shut up!"

Xu Zinan's voice was hoarse and he roared at the man in front of him.

"It's all you, it's all because of you! For your company, for your money. Hehe, hahahaha...... I won't forgive you! No! When hell freezes over! ”

Xu Zinan gritted his teeth and roared, he grinned, a mouthful of bright red teeth, the corners of his mouth were oozing blood, his eyes were bleeding and tearful, and he stared at the man in front of him.

Why?

You're all gone, why am I still alive?

Why did you take away what I hold dear to me and leave me in this endless abyss?

No...... No, it's not so, it's not true!

Xu Zinan hugged his head in pain, his mind was like a storm, and his belief was shaky.
