Raised a house of obsession

Chapter 30 Seven Days in Reality, Three Years in Dream

Zhang Hui lost his appetite after taking a few bites.

The memories in my mind gradually became clearer. When I saw my familiar hometown, something seemed to be pierced, and it suddenly flooded into my mind like a volcano erupting.

Hot, fiery.

reality.

These memories were something he didn't want to face, but now, he had to face them.

"Where do you want to go?"

"I want to worship my parents."

"Do you remember the way?"

"Buried on that mountain."

"Can I still walk?" Zhou Yi asked, "Or should I carry you?"

"I can walk by myself!" Zhang Hui gritted his teeth, and with Zhou Yi's support, he was still able to walk a few steps.

When I saw my parents' graves, tears flowed out all at once.

There are sparse pine trees growing naturally on the mountain, and many pine cones fell on the ground.When the locals offer sacrifices, they always break off a branch of a pine tree and take it home.

However, now is not the season for offering sacrifices, it is quite deserted.

Zhang Hui squatted in front of the grave and burned some yellow paper.The heat of the flames dragged ash into the sky.

Next to the parents' tombstone, there is also a small soil bag, in which a woman's clothes are buried.

Zhang Hui wiped his eyes and said, "Do you know? I've been looking for her all these years, but I can't find her."

"Others say that I was deceived by her and defrauded me of all my money. They say that I am stupid and not clear-headed. I gave away my life and property for a little favor. What else is this if not stupid?"

"But they don't know how virtuous she is! How considerate she is!"

"I always comfort myself that she didn't run away... but, she was dead, so I buried her clothes here. How gentle she is, she wakes me up every morning, cooks breakfast for me, and we even make an appointment Well, we will have two children in the future, a boy and a girl."

"How could she run away? How could she? There are so many accidents in the world, isn't there...maybe she stepped on the ground and fell into the water, or maybe...how could she run?"

To him, even if this woman died, it was better than running away.

Zhang Hui was full of smiles, tears were streaming down his cheeks, the two contradictory emotions seemed to tear the whole person apart completely.

The cemetery is just an ordinary mountain, except for the breeze blowing, only the sound of tears rolling down can be heard.

It was the first time Zhou Yi saw a big man crying so sadly.

But he had no reason to criticize the other party, because he was completely unable to empathize with such complex emotions, nor did he want to experience it.

Comrade Li Xianfeng, who was standing beside him, also took a sip of wine silently.

He has lived for so many years, he has seen worse people, and there are even tough guys who have survived this test and grown up again.

But people's fighting spirit is different. Some people try their best to survive, while some people have lost the motivation to survive. It doesn't make much sense to force them to stay.

Zhang Hui exuded a strong sense of death, it was his heart that died.

Sadness is greater than death, he has already made the final decision for this night.

"Have you made up your mind yet?" Zhou Yi finally asked.

"Yeah, thank you. It seems meaningless for me to stay here. Thank you! Actually, I should have been locked up in the West Institute for a while, but this happened."

"Forget it, don't talk about it. Let's drink some wine then." Zhou Yi stopped persuading the other party and just took out a bottle of wine from the trunk.

This is the Sanguotou that old man Li always keeps. It costs ten yuan a bottle.

Zhang Hui took a sip with all his strength, frowning slightly, it was too spicy, he really couldn't get used to this kind of wine.

But no matter what, it was the last drink in his life.After he took a big sip, he took small sips.

The autumn wind seemed to get stronger at this moment, as if it was saying goodbye to him.

After drinking, the man began to talk more and more. He began to describe his wife in another world, with a happy and gentle look on his face.

"She is really a virtuous woman. She cooks good dishes, whether it is chicken, duck, or fish, all of them are delicious, delicious and delicious. If you come to my house sometime, I will treat you to a drink... Hahaha, it doesn't seem like that. It's possible, but maybe there is another world. Maybe we can still meet in 100 years?"

He recalled some scenes from his dream.

"Just today, my wife suddenly asked me to take a long trip, saying that there was something for me to do. This matter is very important, so important that I would rather give up my life here to take this long trip. Now think about it , maybe it’s my body’s instinct to wake up, if I don’t wake up, I will die.”

"and then?"

"She cooked me a good meal and urged me to leave... This is trust, she thought I would come back... So when I woke up, I found myself back in the real world."

Zhang Hui talked about his son again.

In that world, he gave birth to a son who was just three years old.

"Seven days in the real world, three years in the dream, isn't it strange?"

"He is a genius! I taught him to sing, and he learned it in one pass. His pitch is very accurate. Maybe he can become a singer in the future."

Zhang Hui's face was flushed, and he was inexplicably proud: "I wanted to be a rock singer when I was young, playing guitar and singing on stage."

"But my father disagrees. He said that singing...isn't it an actor? An actor is a low-level profession! It's really inexplicable! What age is it, don't those singers in big cities also make a lot of money?"

What he said was very interesting. Zhou Yi couldn't help but smile, thinking of the movie "Young and Dangerous" he watched last week. People in this era are really into pop rock and the like.

Zhang Hui sang in a low voice, his tone was very standard, and he really sang well, even though his voice was a bit dry and hoarse, it had a unique flavor.

If you have been trained since childhood, it is no problem to become a singer in a nightclub.

So he gave birth to a son in a dream, and pinned all his hopes on the "son".

"In my dream, I chased after her because of my good singing. I don't want to know if she cheated me of my money in the real world. I only know that she is still waiting for me at home... Oh, thank you, thank you. Don't bother me any more."

Hearing this man's description, Zhou Yi suddenly panicked. It was an indescribably complicated emotion. He was obviously extremely sad, but he had to force a smile.

Because all of this is just escaping reality.

Even Zhang Hui knew in his heart that he was escaping from reality, and he had to make himself laugh before he could take that step towards death.

Human instinct is always to fear death.
