dream soul return

The old man seems to live alone.When Fu Chen entered, the whole room was empty.

"My son moved to a big city," the old man explained, "Yangcheng is too backward."

He poured Fu Chen a glass of water, asked him to sit on the sofa, said excuse me, and went into the room.Not long after, the old man came out with a stack of papers in his hand.

"Son," the old man didn't hand him the paper immediately, but asked first, "What are you doing here?"

"I...I want to know what is the relationship between my grandfather and Master Wen."

The old man seemed to have expected this answer, and was not surprised at all.He found a photo from the stack of papers and handed it to Fu Chen.It was a very old photo with yellowed edges.But it can be seen that it is well protected, even over plastic.

"This photo is too long, too long. I was afraid that I would not be able to keep it, so I deliberately repainted it. I didn't expect... I didn't expect that there would be a day when he would be returned." The old man's voice sounded full of emotion.

Fu Chen took the photo and was shocked speechless after just one glance.He touched his watch subconsciously: "This, this is..."

"That's right, son. This is your grandfather and Master Wen."

The old man thought it was Fu Chen's grandfather, but Fu Chen knew very well that the person in the photo was himself.He saw himself standing with a strange young man, both wearing old-fashioned gowns, and felt dizzy.It really looked like a lover, and my eyes followed the young man, and it was not difficult to see dependence and love.

The old man said again: "Child, back then your grandfather and Young Master Wen were lovers. Although it was unacceptable at that time and had to be separated in the end, they did love each other."

Fu Chen not only became more dizzy, but even ached.He subconsciously grasped the watch on his wrist: "Then...then how do you know?"

"Remember what I told you, my father is the tailor of the Wen family?"

Fu Chen nodded.

"The last time he made clothes for the Wen family, it was the wedding clothes for your grandfather and Young Master Wen."

The old man handed all the remaining papers to Fu Chen: "This is my father's diary. He didn't tell anyone about your grandfather and Young Master Wen during his lifetime. Even I found his diary after he passed away. I know about them. My dad never saw your grandpa again, and it became his lifelong regret. He still couldn't forget it before he died. I, after reading the diary, also couldn't forget it. It's just that I was a little luckier than my dad, seeing the talisman The descendant of the Taoist priest."

Fu Chen didn't read the diary immediately, but asked, "How did you know I was coming today?"

The old man said: "I didn't know at first. It's just that one day I suddenly received a letter telling me to wait at the station tonight, so that I can see your grandpa's descendants. I didn't believe it at first, but I just read it for so many years. I just went to have a look. I didn’t expect it, but it really made me wait.”

"Can I read that letter?"

The old man probably also guessed that he wanted to read it, so he went into the house and took out the letter without asking any further questions.

Fu Chen flipped through the letter left and right, but the letter from the address on the cover to the content was all printed out by a computer, and there were no clues.He looked at the contents of the letter again, it only stated that Fu Chen's descendants would take the number train to Yangcheng on which day and month.When the time comes, you will know as long as you go there.

There is no doubt that the person who sent this letter to the old man is the same person who trapped him in the formation - he only saw one for the time being.But what is the purpose of the other party?Why are you so obsessed with making him remember the past?Does he know him?Do you know him now, or... know him nearly a hundred years ago?

Having no clue, Fu Chen got a headache the more he thought about it.

The old man waited for Fu Chen to read the letter, then looked at the clock, and said, "It's already very late. Son, you can rest at my house for the night."

Fu Chen had no objection, and followed the old man to the guest room.

The house is very old, and the furniture is not very new.Fu Chen was covered with a damp quilt, and opened his eyes to look at the cracks on the ceiling.Too many things happened today, filling his mind.

After tossing and turning in bed for a long time, I couldn't fall asleep.Fu Chen got up from the bed, turned out the diary and read it.To be honest, ever since he knew that he and Wen Yu might be lovers, not only was he no longer so curious about his past, but he even developed a little fear.

【twenty

Today, Young Master Fu is back, and I heard that the housekeeper called him back.It's been a few years since the master and wife passed away, and the distant relatives are watching.The young master can't support himself alone, thinking that it might be better for young master Fu to come back.It's just that Young Master Fu has already become a monk, so he doesn't care about these mundane affairs. 】

【twenty

The butler called me to make clothes for Master Fu.The young master was there when he was measuring the body of young master Fu.The young master seems to be in better spirits, maybe young master Fu can suppress the arrogance of those distant houses. 】

【twenty

The butler is gone.I went to Wen's house, and the young master was crying all the time.Fortunately, Master Fu was with him. 】

【twenty

Master Fu asked me to come and ask me to make wedding clothes for them. 】

【twenty

Master Fu and the young master went out for a trip, but only the young master came back.The young master kept the door behind closed doors. 】

Fu Chen looked at the diary and jotted down the mention of him and Wen Yu.After writing it down, he stared blankly at the diary in front of him.There are many contents in the diary, not only about him and Wen Yu, but also about the master's own daily life.The old man said that he tore up all the diaries that mentioned Fu Chen and Wen Yu, but it was still not enough.The information obtained is still too little.

He could only be sure that the voice did not lie to him about his relationship with Wen Yu, and he might indeed be lovers with Wen Yu.But what role Wen Yu played in his previous life, he has no idea.

Fu Chen clipped the diary into the notebook and put it on the cabinet next to the bed.During the day, what the voice said kept playing in his mind in a loop. Fu Chen couldn't sleep, and kept his eyes open until dawn.

The genius was dimly lit, and there was a sound outside the door.The old man didn't sleep much, Fu Chen guessed that the old man probably woke up.

When he went out, it turned out that the old man was cooking in the kitchen.

"Old man," Fu Chen asked, "I want to pay homage to my great-grandfather and great-grandmother."

The old man didn't seem surprised by this request, and said: "The tomb of your great-grandfather and grandmother is not far away, in the back mountain. You can go there after breakfast, and I will accompany you."

Fu Chen was in a hurry to go back, unwilling to wait any longer.Worried about the old man's health, he rejected the other party's proposal to accompany him.The old man couldn't help it, so he took out the remaining incense paper money at home and gave it to him: "Go."

Fu Chen went out in the morning light, and walked to the back mountain along the direction pointed by the old man.Yangcheng is located in a remote place, and there was no such thing as a public cemetery at the time of the Republic of China, and most of the dead were buried in mountains.Fu Chen walked up and saw many tombstones, and finally stopped in front of one of them.

The tomb looked like no one had paid homage to it, weeds were overgrown around the tomb, and there was dust on the stele.Fu Chen knelt down and wiped off the dust with his hands, revealing the words on it.

The tombs of Fu Yizhi and Yan Yun.

This is my parents?Fu Chen stared blankly at the tombstone in front of him, feeling a sense of emptiness in his heart.

He has always wanted to find his past, but when he actually saw it, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss.Everything was stuffed into him by others, but he himself didn't understand it at all.

Fu Chen dug out the joss paper money and matches handed to him by the old man before he left, lit the joss stick, and burned the paper money in front of the tomb.The flames illuminated his bewildered face, and turned into ashes, dissipating in the sky and the earth.

After Fu Chen burned the paper money, he sat on the ground in a daze for concentration before he started to pack his backpack and wanted to go down the mountain.

The road down the mountain was steep, and Fu Chen stayed up all night, in a trance.Suddenly, the ground was empty, and before the scream could be heard, it had already rolled down.He was startled when he rolled down, and subconsciously covered his head.It's just that he didn't care about his head and body, and there was an indescribable pain in his waist and ankle.Only the back, because of the buffer of the schoolbag, doesn't feel much.

The moment he finally stopped, what Fu Chen thought was, fortunately, he stopped halfway up the mountain.It was only later that I realized the pain spreading from my ankle.He carefully opened the hem of his trousers, and his ankle was indeed swollen.Fu Chen guessed that he probably sprained his ankle, and he couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't bring the old man along.But after thinking about it, I am alone at this moment, and I don't know when I will be discovered.

He looked around, and suddenly found that there were many things in the backpack scattered around him.Fu Chen unloaded the bag curiously, only to realize that he forgot to close the zipper of the school bag when he went down the mountain.

He had no choice but to endure the pain and put the things around him back into his backpack one by one.Fortunately, I seem to be lucky, the dropped things are all nearby.When he saw the phone, Fu Chen was overjoyed at first, and then cold.It turned out that the mobile phone hit a rock when it was thrown out, and it was completely destroyed and could not be turned on.

The hopes that had just appeared were immediately dashed, and Fu Chen sat down on the spot depressed, checking whether everything in the bag was there, while waiting for the rescue that would appear at an unknown time.

"Fu Chen——, Fu Chen——" He suddenly heard someone calling himself, Fu Chen was overjoyed at first, and was about to respond when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

It was Si Yuan's voice.But why did Si Yuan come here?

Are you hallucinating?But he just fell down?Or did he crash his brain when he fell?

Fu Chen was still emptying his mind, but Si Yuan's voice was getting closer and closer to him.

"Fu Chen!" The other party finally found him, exclaimed in surprise, and was about to step forward.

It was only then that Fu Chen belatedly realized that it was not an illusion just now, Si Yuan had indeed appeared in front of him.But for some reason, when he saw Si Yuan, his first reaction was not to be surprised, but to hold the schoolbag in his arms tightly—there was a diary and a photo of him and Wen Yu in the bag.Subconsciously, he didn't want Si Yuan to see this.

The author has something to say:

Fu Chen: I'm such a philandering scumbag (T^T)
