Chapter 36: Everything Is a Dream

"Sister, why don't you come yet, Xiaoliu, she always flies kites as high as you. ”

"Miss, have you woken up? Second Miss has been waiting for you for a long time. It was Xiao Qi's voice, Ji Si rubbed her eyes and saw that she was lying under a big tree, Jia Yu and Xiao Liu were on the grass in front, the kite in Jia Yu's hand flew very low, Xiao Liu's kite was even lower, every year my father had to bring a family to the suburbs to fly a kite competition, every time I won the first place, Jia Yu was always happier than if she won.

Ling Yuanwai and Mrs. Ling were drinking tea in the small pavilion on the other side, and she saw her father pouring tea for her mother from a distance, and she rubbed her eyes vigorously, as if she didn't believe everything in front of her.

"What's wrong with Miss?, but the wind and sand got into your eyes?" Xiao Qi asked with concern, and handed over the wet handkerchief to wipe her face.

She suddenly pinched her thigh, and she screamed in pain, and tears almost burst out of her eyes: "Xiao Qi, am I dreaming?"

"Miss, you just woke up, but what dream did you have just now?"

Ji Si pinched Xiao Qi's arm, and Xiao Qi cried out in pain, "Miss, you are bullying Xiao Qi again." ”

Only then did she believe that she was not dreaming, and immediately got up and ran towards the small pavilion, tears slid down her cheeks and scattered into the wind, she didn't bother to wipe them, and directly threw herself on Mrs. Ling's lap and cried. "Mother, I miss you so much, I miss you so much, I ...... you"

She couldn't speak anymore, she cried until she choked, and Mrs. Ling was confused, Mrs. Ling gently stroked her head: "Why are you crying, just now Xiao Qi said that you are asleep, and you are not afraid of catching a cold, fortunately, you prepared a blanket in advance, and you are shouting to come to fly a kite on weekdays, why did you come to sleep under the tree at this time, but what kind of dream did you have, crying so sadly, come to let your mother see, it is not good to look at your face." ”

On weekdays, Mrs. Ling loves to nag, every time she is impatient to listen to her right ear, but this time she listens carefully to every word and sentence, and can't bear to interrupt, as long as her mother is still there, she is willing to continue like this.

She raised her head, snorted with tears on her face: "Mother...... Mother, but is it true?"

"Silly child, of course my mother is real, don't you believe you came to touch it?" Mrs. Ling took her hand and touched her face, her eyes full of pity.

She stretched out her hand cautiously, but when she was about to touch Mrs. Ling's face, she suddenly retracted it, buried her head on Mrs. Ling's knee again and cried, she was afraid that this was a dream, and she was afraid that she would wake up when she touched her mother's mother.

The mausoleum was also in a hurry to comfort her, but her father was not good at expressing it after all, and all he could do was to look at Yu Si in distress, stretch out a hand and want to pat Yu Si's back like Mrs. Ling, but finally stopped in mid-air, paused for a long time, and put it down.

"Silly boy, what dream did you just have? So sad, crying makes my mother feel distressed. ”

She shook her head vigorously, dreaming that her mother died, her father had his legs cut off, and the corpses were strewn all over Huchi Town, and only she and her sister were left alive with more than a thousand people.

"Sister, what's wrong with you, why are you crying. ”

Jiayu waited too long and finally waited for her sister to wake up but saw her sister coming to the small pavilion, so she had to come by herself, and she wanted to let her sister fly a kite with her, but she saw that her sister was crying.

When she heard the voice, she turned around and saw Jiayu, sniffed, wiped her face casually with her sleeve, and then got up and took Jiayu's hand and walked outside the pavilion, "Sister will accompany you to fly a kite." ”

"Hmm"

As soon as the two of them walked out, not far away, she shook off Jiayu's hand and strode back to the pavilion again, hugged Mrs. Ling and said something softly, and after speaking, she turned around and hugged the mausoleum member, and also said something in the ear of the mausoleum member, and then ran to Jiayu after speaking.

"Sister, did you whisper something to your mother and father?" Jia Yu took Ji Si's hand again and asked mischievously.

She shook her head and smiled a little shyly, her smile was fixed when she saw Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu was running happily on the lawn with a kite string, and when she thought that it was Xiao Liu who brought those demons in her dream and caused her family to be ruined, she couldn't be a good sister with Xiao Liu like before, and even when Xiao Liu wanted to help Jia Yu untie the entangled kite string, Xiao Si lost her voice and shouted: "You get out of the way!"

Xiaoliu was stunned on the spot and didn't know what to do, and Jiayu was also frightened, the first time she saw such a sister, she was so fierce, not like an ordinary sister at all.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Xiaoliu, did she make something wrong?"

Hearing Jiayu's cautious voice, she realized that she was out of control, and after sorting out her emotions, she said sorry to Xiao Liu, threw the kite in her hand to the ground, and returned to the tree to stay with Xiao Qi.

The sun was shining warmly on her body, the smell of grass was so clear, and she could hear the sound of bees buzzing, she lay on the grass and blocked the sunlight on her face with her hands, occasionally letting the sunlight shine from her fingers to her face, she thought to herself:

"Is everything a dream?, or is it a dream now?" ”

After the kite flying is over, the sun has set, the whole Huchi Town is shrouded in orange sunshine and is very warm, the street vendors have begun to clean up their stalls one after another, the playful children are still calling friends, and the sound of parents calling children to eat passes through the street......

She looked greedily at everything she was familiar with, at the bricks and tiles on the side of the street, at the streets where sugar gourds were bought, at the alleys where thieves were chased, at the rouge shops where her mother frequented, at her sister's favorite garment shop, at the restaurant that her father loved to go to with his friends...... Everything is as it is remembered.

The lady who bought tofu brain on the side of the road greeted the two sisters holding hands and walking in front warmly: "Two young ladies, do you want to have a bowl ......of tofu brain today?"

If she wasn't dreaming now, why did everything feel so long-lost, so nostalgic, and before she knew it, she thought of the ruins, blood all over the ground, and corpses all over the field...... The images in her mind swooped into her mind, and she almost lost her footing.

Finally arrived at home, Xi Si could no longer stand the ups and downs of joy and sorrow in her heart, said goodbye to everyone and returned to the room, she closed the room with her backhand, lowered her head against the door and slid down like this, hugged herself and choked in a low voice.

I don't know how long it took, someone knocked on the door, and Jiayu's voice came from the door: "Sister, you are different from usual today, what happened?"

"Nope. She quickly wiped away her tears and opened the door, pretending to be calm and asked, "But it's time for dinner?"

Jiayu nodded, although it was almost dark, the crystal in her eyes was still seen by her: "Sister, have you cried?"

"No, let's go to dinner together. Mrs. Ling and the mausoleum had been waiting for a while, and she sat next to Mrs. Ling as usual, and Jiayu sat beside the mausoleum.

On weekdays, Mrs. Ling will pick up vegetables for her two daughters and Mrs. Ling, but today's Sisi is as abnormal as usual, she has no intention of eating, she just wants to see her family more, it seems that she has not seen her father and mother so seriously for a long time.

"Today, the kitchen has made a new dish, wine and white fish, come, you can taste it. Mrs. Ling picked up a piece of fresh and tender fish meat from the plate and put it in the silk bowl, and she was stunned, and even her body couldn't help stiffening, but she didn't say anything, she ate the fish in a big gulp, and said that it was delicious without even swallowing the rice completely.

She lowered her head and kept pulling rice into her mouth, and tears slipped into the bowl, but fortunately her head was buried low and no one noticed.

After dinner, Si Si returned to the room but refused to fall asleep, looking at the begonias outside the window, she could vaguely see the red of the begonia flowers under the moonlight, not only how did Si remember the blood like a river on the night when she was attacked by monsters.

Maybe she was too tired during the day, but in the end, she fell asleep unconsciously.

In the middle of the night, suddenly red clouds rolled and pressed down in the sky, those red clouds

The height was almost within reach, and the entire Huchi Town turned red under the influence of the red clouds, and the people who were originally asleep got up and stood in the courtyard looking at the red clouds in the sky, and it became noisy outside, and the silk suddenly woke up and rushed over to open the door, and there were a few maids standing outside the door, but they were not her familiar faces.

She stepped forward to grab the maid's arm but found that her hand had passed directly through the maid's body, and looked back at the room where she had come out, the door was still closed and not opened, and she was floating in the air, like a dead ghost.

She looked up at the crimson sky, even the moon was red, could it be that she was already dead? Since she was a child, she could see ghosts and fairies or something, and naturally she also had some strange friends, and knew some strange things, and this red moon reminded her of what she didn't know which ghost said: "Only in the eyes of the dead, the moon is red." ”

"Am I dead?" she looked at the translucent hand a little distractedly, and she could see through the hand that the skirt of the nearest maid was red, I don't know if it was because of the rolling red clouds in the sky or because the skirt was originally red.

"Madame is going to give birth, come over and help, Akiba, you go and let the kitchen prepare more hot water!" A maid suddenly ran outside the yard, and left in a hurry after giving the order, and the maid called Akiba also ran out when she heard the order.

"Autumn leaves?" "Autumn leaves?" she remembered hearing her mother say that fifteen years ago there was a maid named Autumn Leaves in the house, Autumn Leaves was picked up by her father when she was young, although she was just a maid, but at that time her father had no children, so he always regarded Autumn Leaves as a daughter, and later Autumn Leaves and Zhang Sheng, the top high school student in Huchi Town, fell in love, and Autumn Leaves moved to the imperial city with her husband's family after she got married......
