"Take it easy...... Take it easy...... You are absolutely safe here, no one can hurt you, and now you can go wherever you want to go. β
ββ¦β¦β
Time in the room seems to stand still, Ju Meow lies on the sofa, his shoulders are naturally leaning on the back of the sofa, under the hint of hypnosis used by the psychiatrist, Ju Meow feels that he is in absolute safety at the moment, Ju Meow, who has been insecure since childhood, has long been on the obvious guard against all people or things,' Trust' this kind of thing is a kind of human luxury for Ju Meow, and a person to maintain a long-term relationship, for Ju Meow is simply a kind of mental pain, the welfare institute period Ju Meow showed serious exclusivity and aggression, although the hospital leaders and psychologists after several efforts, but still failed to cure this mental health disease, fortunately, later everyone found that Ju Meow only showed psychological abnormalities when treating people, but when dealing with small animals, it will become very gentle, and then the welfare institute brought Ju Meow a big orange cat, the big cat has been growing up with Ju Meow, probably when Ju Meow reached the age of high school, This orange cat also came to the end of its life, everyone in the welfare home held a funeral for this orange cat, Ju Meow also seemed to understand at this funeral that 'the journey of life is destined to come to an end from the moment it begins, whether you like this road or not, Must go on' the truth, at this time Ju Meow has been able to accept his fate, although it can not be said to be calm, but can already accept it, after Ju Meow as if a changed person, for learning and life gradually have an interest, for the future also has a yearning, and finally he integrated into this social family, began to work hard for himself, and then Ju Meow's life also encountered a good turning point, the name of Ju Meow was written on the list of well-known domestic enterprises, so Ju Meow's life also obtained a short period of hanging, although there were only two main line results in the college entrance examination, but it entered a well-known university, Unconsciously also classified by the society into the talent train, and then in the study and life of the university, although the improvement of communication ability is still limited, but the academic breakthrough has brought a lot of success to his life, during the graduate school has entered the enterprise that has been supporting his studies, for the enterprise for Ju Meow personally, this is a win-win situation, Ju Meow thought that his brilliant life would start from this, but in the past two years, there is a dream that has been haunting him, this dream seems to be the continuation of the common dream of his childhood,But every time I wake up,No matter how I recall it,I still can't remember what I saw in the dream.,If it's just an ordinary dream.,Then naturally I won't pay attention to it.,But this dream clearly has its unusual.,That's why Ju Meow can't let go for a long time.,In the end, Ju Meow decided to find the answer.,First go back to the welfare home where you grew up.,Go to the relevant people of the year to inquire about what happened when you were young.,This includes the director of the welfare home.γFound your own waste recycling point and even the police uncle who rescued him., However, it still has limited help in revealing the mystery, and the more Ju Meow obsesses with finding it, the more hopeless he feels that it will be realized. Eventually, Ju Meow came to a mental health hospital here, although in the past he has also been to a number of mental health hospitals to try to use hypnosis to help himself, but every time on the way to treatment, he will have a large number of nosebleeds and the staff have to stop hypnotherapy, according to the doctor, their physique is more specific, once they receive hypnosis, intracranial pressure will increase rapidly, and then nosebleeds, if forced hypnosis, it is likely to harm brain health. And this hypnotherapy did not appear in the previous nosebleed symptoms, I don't know because the doctor's medical skills are more clever, or their brains have been unconsciously familiar with hypnosis, hypnotherapy has been carried out for 20 minutes, to the end of the treatment, Ju Meow opened his eyes violently, that moment I feel as if I have slept for a long time, many people have appeared in the dream one after another, and it is extremely real, but after waking up, I still forgot about them very quickly, only some residual pictures are still in consciousness, Ju Meow hurriedly took out the pen and paper prepared in advance, originally intended to write down the name of a certain person or the name of a place, even if it was the appearance of a certain person, but none of the above could be realized, and in the end Ju Meow only drew a sketch full of rocks and weeds, and the only thing that could be counted as a reference was probably a wooden bridge and a section of ruins.
Psychiatrist: "How's it going, boy?" β
Ju Meow: "It's okay, thank you." β
Said with a smile.
Psychiatrist: "You're the quietest patient I've ever met. β
Ju Meow: "Will everyone else be quiet during treatment?" β
Psychiatrist: "Yes, or the expression is happy and depressed, or the words are in the mouth, or even directly raise your hand to hit someone." β
Ju Meow: "Oh my God, what about me?" β
Psychiatrist: "Your expression has not changed during the whole process, your breath has been steady, and there are no words or body movements. β
Ju Meow: "That's the case......"
A little disappointed, in fact, Ju Meow would have preferred that he could say something.
After that, the psychiatrist also extracted the video of this treatment and sent it to Ju Meow, asking him to take it back and view it for himself.
Then Ju Meow left the hospital and went out to eat.
At this time, Ju Meow is in a second-tier city, it is raining outside, Ju Meow is walking in the rain with an umbrella, there are passers-by who forgot to bring an umbrella and hurriedly run, and there are also romantic couples looking for romance in the rain, and Ju Meow is walking alone on the streets of this strange city, his stomach is indeed a little hungry, the aroma of soup noodles wafting out of an ancient soup noodle restaurant on the street attracted Ju Meow, so he walked into the museum with unhurried steps, there is no single table in the Gufang noodle soup restaurant, and there are almost no special waiters, There is a row of high chairs in some narrow aisles, diners sit on high chairs, facing the kitchen, because it is a glass wall, so diners can clearly see the chef's cooking process and the ingredients used, and under the glass wall is a stone countertop, one end of the countertop is directly connected to the store door, and the other end extends directly to the wall of the staff lounge, there is a door near the staff lounge, it is the access door of the kitchen and dining room, Because there is a gap of about 30 centimeters between the lower edge of the glass wall and the countertop, it can be used to pass dishes. Diners sit in their chosen seats to create the feeling that everyone is at the same table, and even if they don't know each other before, they can take the opportunity to chat, and if you like, you can also chat with the chef, which is also part of the noodle soup restaurant's food culture.
Ju Meow entered the store and was about to order, but he didn't want to be noticed by the two female diners who dined immediately, and the two female diners looked at Ju Meow without any worries, followed by a satisfied smile on his face, you ask me why? That's naturally because of Ju Meow's unusual face and figure, capable men's short hair with a deceptive face, black and white eyes under the oblique eyebrows, eyes gentle like nephrite, high nose bridge and some delicate mouth shape, thin lips and a very clean beard, people can know at a glance that he is a young man who pays attention to appearance, white shirt, black trousers, brown leather shoes, this kind of work clothes common to urban men, worn on the young man in front of him, but it looks so decent. A female diner boldly beckoned to sit here, Ju Meow also smiled politely, and then walked to the position next to the woman and sat down, and then Ju Meow ordered a beef rib soup noodle soup and two secret salted and sweet duck eggs and matching green bamboo shoots and plum side dishes, and hung the briefcase on the shelf under the countertop, and the female diner on the side saw that he had finished ordering, so he took the initiative to talk.
Female diner: "Is the handsome guy from here?" β
Ju Meow: "No. β
Female Eater: "And where are you from?" β
Ju Meow: "A distant city. β
Female diner: "What are you going to do?" β
Ju Meow: "For something boring." β
Female diner: "Huh? Coming from a distant place for something boring? β
Ju Meow: "That's right, that's what you think." β
Female diner: "My friends and I are also here to play, if time is convenient, would you like to join us?" β
Ju Meow: "Thank you for the invitation, it's just...... I've run out of vacation and I'm going back tomorrow. β
Female diner: "Huh? That's a coincidence. β
Ju Meow: "Yes, I'm sorry, but if I have the chance, I'd love to travel with a cute girl like you."
Female diner: "Then add a WeChat friend." β
Ju Meow: "Yes." β
Saying that, the two of them took out their mobile phones, completed each other's registration on the WeChat address book, and then the two chatted during the meal, this girl is a little familiar, although it is the first time to meet Ju Meow, but there is no strange feeling at all, the topic of conversation between the two people also quickly expanded, from the initial travel heart to the later life gossip, and even in the end, even the topic of gender is not shy to chat, and now Ju Meow is a regular friendly exchange with anyone, The slightest intersection in the life circle can also be adapted, which is the true portrayal of the legendary independent person who maintains a minimum of social relationships.
When Ju Meow is about to leave, the woman also proposes to take a photo together, and Ju Meow comes to her with a smile and her companion helps take a photo of the two.
On the way back to the hotel in a taxi, a female friend who worked with Ju Meow called him to ask about the progress of the matter.
Female friend: "Hey, how's it going?" β
Ju Meow: "Hey, it didn't go well. β
Sighing back.
Female friend: "What's wrong?" β
Ju Meow: "I've also been to the welfare home, and the relevant people have also asked, but there is no information available." β
Female friend: "It's so sad, I can't help you......"
There was some self-reproach in his tone.
Ju Meow: "Don't say that, you can call me and listen to me about these boring things, it has already helped me a lot." β
Female friend: "Hee-hee, is it a person now?" β
Ju Meow: "Of course, why do you ask?" β
Female friend: "I was a little uneasy just now......"
Ju Meow: "That's why you called?" β
Female friend: "Yes. β
Ju Meow: "You feel quite smart, I won't tell you that I just went to dinner and met two young girls, one of whom looks pretty good." β
Female friend: "And then?!" β
The tone suddenly became unhappy.
Ju Meow: "Added WeChat." β
Female friend: "That's all?" β
Ju Meow: "Yes, that's all. β
Female friend: "Be careful outside, don't be fooled by beauty, be careful to cut your waist!" β
Ju Meow: "Don't worry, I'm measured." β
Female friend: "You have two days left on your vacation, right?" β
Ju Meow: "Yes. β
Female friend: "When will you be back?" Want to wash the dust for you? β
Ju Meow: "I'm going to go back tomorrow, so let's meet tomorrow night." β
Female friend: "It's decided." β
Ju Meow: "Don't worry. β
Female friend: "Are you sure you're alone tonight?" β
Ju Meow: "Of course. β
Female friend: "I'll video you in the evening, remember to pick it up!" β
Ju Meow: "No. β
Female friend: "For your safety." β
Ju Meow: "Bitter smile." β
After Ju Meow smoothly came to his hotel room, Ju Meow walked into the house, came to the window and looked at the street scene outside, because his room is on the 24th floor, here is still a good way to enjoy the night view of the city, just when Ju Meow stood in front of the window and looked at the night scene casually, suddenly seemed to remember something, while he had not forgotten, Ju Meow hurriedly came to the laptop, opened the computer and typed on the web page. Chidori-shi', but there is no reply from the relevant area in the relevant information given on the website.
Ju Meow: "No, I guess I'll never be able to solve the answer to this dream." β
Talk to oneself.
Suddenly, the phone rings to alert you to a call. Ju Meow picked up the phone and saw that it was the vice president calling.
Vice President: "Xiaoju, are you busy?" β
The voice of an older man came from the receiver of the phone.
Ju Meow: "Good evening, vice president, I'm not busy at this time." β
Vice President: "I know that you are on vacation, and I really don't want to disturb you." β
Ju Meow: "The vice president's words are serious, who said that you can't accept the leader's work guidance during the vacation?" β
At this time, I have already guessed that I have something to talk to myself about work.
Vice President: "Xiaoju, I really guessed it, I have a reluctant request here, I don't know if I can help?" β
Ju Meow: "I will definitely complete the task assigned by the vice president." β
Vice President: "Great, I know that Xiao Ju is a person who loves work, then I won't go around in circles, I have a piece of information here, I will send it to you by email in a while, you will find a way to print it out and bind it, tomorrow I will go to the address I sent you, visit our friendly neighbor enterprises, I have said hello to their Vice President Zhang, you go to hand over the information to him and let him help stamp it, and then you bring it back to me." β
Ju Meow: "Okay, I promise to complete the task." β
Vice President: "Of course, tomorrow will count you as normal work, as long as you do this well." β
Ju Meow: "Thank you, vice president." β
Vice President: "Okay, then I won't disturb your rest, and I'll leave things to you tomorrow." β
Ju Meow: "Please rest assured, vice president." β
After the call, Ju Meow let out a long sigh and sent a message to his female friend.
"I'm really sorry, I have to run errands for the leader tomorrow, and I can't go back until the day after tomorrow, and I have to reschedule my appointment with you."
'Sad expression'
Female friends can only reluctantly accept this setting.
That night, Ju Meow borrowed a small printer from the hotel, printed out the materials handed over to him by the leader, and confirmed the content of the materials.
After that, Ju Meow lay on the bed in the hotel and watched TV for a while, and the time came to 10 o'clock in the afternoon, Ju Meow felt a little tired, so he turned off the TV and fell asleep.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Ju Meow got up before 7 o'clock, washed and ate, and carefully cleaned up his hair and beard, fortunately, he went out this time with a shirt and suit pants, otherwise if he wore casual clothes to visit customers, it was really rude, before going out, Ju Meow looked at the dressing mirror again to confirm that there was no problem with his hairstyle and dress, and then left the hotel. The company visited was at work at 9 o'clock in the morning, I looked at the mobile phone time, there was probably more than 1 hour of ample time, according to the tips of the map guide, take a taxi from here, at most 30 minutes, so Ju Meow felt that it was safer to buy a tie first, so he took a taxi to a nearby suit store and spent more than 200 meters to buy a black and blue men's tie, and then took a taxi again to the downstairs of the target company, and reconfirmed that the time was still very early, so I went to a nearby cafΓ© to sit for a while, At about 8:40, Ju Meow left the cafΓ© and went to the target company.
At this time, the company's office building has employees have entered the building one after another, by the way, this is a 30-storey office building, and is one of the assets under the name of the company, Ju Meow followed the crowd into the building, because there is no access control card, so it came to the service desk on the first floor, about 4 meters long behind the service desk stood 3 front desk ladies, Ju Meow politely stepped forward to say hello.
Ju Meow: "Hello, I am Ju Meow from Chuanghe Chemical, and I am the vice president Zhang who came to visit your company, can you help me contact me?" β
Lady at the front desk: "Okay, Mr. Ju, please wait a minute. β
Then the front desk lady dialed the phone number of Deputy General Secretary Zhang to confirm the situation, and quickly confirmed the situation.
Miss Front Desk: "Hello, Mr. Ju, please wait here for a while, Vice President Zhang's secretary will come down to pick you up immediately." β
Ju Meow: "Okay, thank you very much. β
Front Desk Lady: "You're welcome. β
After that, Ju Meow moved to the side and waited for someone to take him to receive him.
Not long after a girl in a lady's suit came to her closer, Ju Meow was stunned the moment she saw her, only felt as if she had seen her somewhere, she wore square glasses and short hair that was not up to her shoulders, her facial features were relatively good, and she had fair and smooth skin, especially in temperament, she was very generous and decent, her height was about 160cm, her weight would not exceed 50kg, her body was well-proportioned and undulating, she was wearing a white shirt and a short blue tie at the neckline, The suit jacket and skirt are also blue, and the feet are brown leather shoes.
Zhang Xiao: "Are you Mr. Ju?" β
Ju Meow: "Yes, I'm Ju Meow. β
Zhang Xiao: "Hello, I am Vice President Zhang's secretary, my name is Zhang Xiao. β
Saying that, he politely stretched out his hand, and Ju Meow also shook hands politely.
Zhang Xiao: "Mr. Ju, please come with me." β
After that, he took Ju Meow to the elevator to the 20th floor, where Vice President Zhang's office was located.
Soon the two came to the door of Vice President Zhang's office, Zhang Xiao knocked politely on the door, and after a while, he pushed open the door and entered Vice President Zhang's office with Ju Meow, at this time Vice President Zhang was sitting on the office chair looking at the computer screen, and saw that Ju Meow was coming, so he stopped the work in hand, and waved Ju Meow to sit down on the side, and after Ju Meow bowed slightly, he sat on the sofa next to him. And Mr. Zhang seemed to be dealing with something, during which Zhang Xiao poured himself a cup of tea and put it on the table next to the sofa. Ju Meow thanked him with a smile, and Zhang Xiao left the office. After a while, Mr. Zhang seemed to have finished the work at hand, so he left the office chair and came to the sofa seat next to Ju Meow, who quickly stood up and politely introduced himself and reached out to shake hands.
Ju Meow: "Hello Vice President Zhang, I am Ju Meow, a staff member of the Quality Department of Chuanghe Chemical. β
Vice President Zhang: "Xiao Ju, I heard your vice president mention you, saying that you are a young man from there, and today I see that you are really a talent." β
Ju Meow: "Vice President Zhang has won the award, I am really sorry to take up your precious time to take up the trouble this time." β
Vice President Zhang: "Where, we are all our own people, don't use these politeness, please take a seat." β
The two sat down successively, and began to gossip about the daily life, talking about some things related to the cooperation business, as well as the recent economic situation, and then Ju Meow found an opportunity to transfer the information documents to the vice president Zhang to the vice president, vice president Zhang took the information documents, put on reading glasses and looked at it for a while, then took it to the desk and stamped the official seal and handed it back to Ju Meow, Ju Meow thought that in this way, things could be successfully over, who expected that Vice President Zhang actually proposed to have a meal together in the evening, he did the east and did not allow Ju Meow to refuse, Ju Meow had no choice but to agreeAfter that, Vice President Zhang was busy with official business, Ju Meow came to the corner of the corridor and called his vice president, informed him of the progress of the matter and confessed that Vice President Zhang was going to invite guests to dinner, and his vice president laughed and told Ju Meow to eat without fear. After that, Zhang Xiao took Ju Meow to the employee rest area.
Zhang Xiao: "Mr. Ju, this is our staff rest area, if you need it, please pick it up, all of it is free, there is juice, coffee, and some snacks, and there is a book area, you can choose your favorite magazines or books to read." β
Ju Meow: "Thank you." β
Zhang Xiao: "You're welcome, by the way, I will also go to the appointment with Vice President Zhang for dinner in the evening, but I don't drink well, so please be merciful." β
Ju Meow: "Haha, no problem. β
After the two said a few more words, Zhang Xiao went back to work.
Ju Meow sat here alone, and really felt a little bored, so he casually found a magazine to pass the time.
Soon the time came to the evening, Vice President Zhang, Zhang Xiao, and Ju Meow came to a Hunan restaurant, directly entered the reserved box, and ordered more than ten dishes and a bottle of Gonghe national wine. The three of them chatted while eating, and Ju Meow gradually relaxed when he pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and through chatting Ju Meow knew that Vice President Zhang and Zhang Xiao were relatives, and Zhang Xiao's father was Vice President Zhang's younger brother, so Zhang Xiao was Vice President Zhang's niece.
Vice President Zhang: "Xiao Ju, although it is the first time we have met, I like you very much, you look so honest and reliable, no wonder your vice president praises you." β
Ju Meow: "Thank you Vice President Zhang for your love, I am actually just an ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary, and it is also an element of luck to be appreciated by our vice president." β
Vice President Zhang: "Hahaha, Xiaoju, you are too modest, by the way, I heard that you are still single, right?" β
Ju Meow: "Yes, I'm still single. β
Vice President Zhang: "Huh? How do you say that, do you already have someone you like? β
Ju Meow: "That's not it." β
Vice President Zhang: "That's easy to do, look at this one next to me, that is, my niece, what do you think?" β
Ju Meow: "Miss Zhang is a very cute girl. β
Moving his gaze to Zhang Xiao's face on the side, he saw that her face was already a little red, and I don't know if it was because of the wine.
Vice President Zhang: "If you think it's cute, let's do it, you add a WeChat, and get along as friends from today onwards, if you think you can talk about it, you might as well fall in love." β
Ju Meow: "This ...... This is too sudden, and besides, I am a person who has no fixed residence, and my family is really not worthy of Miss Zhang. β
Vice President Zhang: "What's that!" You are still young, and there are countless possibilities in the future, what do you think? β
Zhang Xiao: "I, I...... I listen to my uncle. β
Vice President Zhang: "Okay, then it's decided, hurry up, you two will add a friend in front of me." β
Ju Meow saw this situation, he couldn't shirk it anymore, otherwise it would not only hurt Vice President Zhang's face, but also hurt Miss Zhang's face, so he rummaged for his mobile phone in his briefcase, and at the moment he took out the mobile phone, a blank piece of paper was also brought out, which happened to fall at Zhang Xiao's feet, Zhang Xiao instinctively bent down to pick it up, and wanted to return it to Ju Meow, but at the moment when he flattened the white paper, Zhang Xiao was stunned, because there was a sketch drawn on this paper, and the place drawn in the painting was very familiar to him.
Zhang Xiao: "Huh? Chidoriji? β
Ju Meow: "What? Miss Zhang, do you know this place? β
Hearing Zhang Xiao's name, some memories in Ju Meow's mind were immediately awakened, that's right! I did have a place called Chidorigi City in my dream, and I don't know if it has anything to do with the Chidoriga Temple that Miss Zhang said.
Zhang Xiao: "You know, I grew up near Chidoriji Temple, which is my hometown. β
Ju Meow: "Miss Zhang, can you tell me, where is this Chidoriga Temple?" Please, I've been looking for this place for a long time, and I want to see it for myself anyway. β
Ju Meow, who had already lost confidence in finding clues in his dreams, found that hope was ignited again.
Zhang Xiao: "Of course, if Mr. Ju wants to know, I can tell you, but this Chidori Temple is no longer easy to find......
Ju Meow: "It doesn't matter, no matter how hard it is to find, no matter how far away, I must go." β
Zhang Xiao: "Mr. Ju, why do you want to find this place so much?" Can you tell me why? β
Ju Meow: "Hey...... I don't know what to say, but if I tell you that I've been haunted by a dream for years, and in this dream you said Chidoriji Temple appeared, would you believe it? β
Zhang Xiao: "Letter." β
Ju Meow: "Thank you." β
The two looked at each other, and at that moment it seemed that both of them sensed a trace of unusual emotion rising in their hearts.
And Vice President Zhang on the side saw that the two could talk very well, so he decided to push them again.
Vice President Zhang: "Xiao, this way, you will take a vacation from tomorrow, and you will accompany Ju Meow to find that Chidori Temple." β
Zhang Xiao: "Huh? All right. β
At first, he was surprised, but then he turned his head to look at Ju Meow, and he didn't hesitate.
Ju Meow: "I'm really embarrassed, I have to bother you to accompany me for my private affairs." β
Zhang Xiao: "It's okay, anyway, I just want to go back and have a look." β
In this way, the three of them chatted here for a while, and then Ju Meow took a taxi, successively sent Vice President Zhang and Zhang Xiao home, and finally returned to the hotel where he stayed, Ju Meow was a little excited at the moment, because he would never have dreamed that he had given up when he had given up, but suddenly had a new important clue, if it was really as Zhang Xiao said, she could take herself to the place called Chidoriji Temple, maybe she could solve the mystery of this dream, for this Chidoriji Temple that she had never been to, Ju Meow always felt that there must be an inseparable connection with himself here. Ju Meow couldn't wait to fly over on a rocket to find out. Ju Meow ordered a high-speed rail ticket that night, but fortunately, Zhang Xiao's hometown is not far from here, and it is about 3 hours away by high-speed rail.
The next morning, Ju Meow came to the high-speed rail station to meet Zhang Xiao, both of them are wearing casual clothes today, Ju Meow is a T-shirt and cargo pants and sneakers, and Miss Zhang is also a T-shirt plus five-point pants and travel shoes, the two of them are dressed with a bit of a couple's feeling, which makes the two people a little nervous to meet, but the enthusiastic and generous Zhang Xiao quickly grasped the initiative, and started to be a guide to lead the way for Ju Meow, and chatted with Ju Meow.
At about 10 o'clock in the morning, the high-speed rail train started slowly and began to move towards the target city.
