Into the modern comprehension

Shen He suggested to go back to his hometown with Erqi to take a look. This is easy to say, but it is a bit troublesome to actually operate.

From the capital city to the small town in the south of the Yangtze River, it takes almost six days just to go back and forth on the road.Maybe in 20 years, the train will be able to speed up, and it will not be a problem to go back and forth in the same day.But now I have to worry about whether I can book a train ticket to travel in time.

There are still a little more than two weeks before they go to the grave with their mentor, and some preparations need to be made in the early stage, so the time they have at their disposal is not much, only ten or so days.

Shen He said that the matter of the train ticket is on him, and Sui Erqi only needs to bring a few spare clothes and he can set off the day after tomorrow, and Sui Erqi only needs to wait for two days with peace of mind.

Sui Erqi himself was indeed waiting with peace of mind, he didn't believe Shen He's implication, he scoffed at the idea that ghosts dreamed of him and his parents acted like him in the underworld.He also took a closer look at scientific papers analyzing the relationship between dreams and the workings of the brain.In modern biology, dreams are a by-product of brain function, and all bizarre dreams are only related to abnormal brain activities, so even if a dream has supernatural content, its essence has nothing to do with supernatural.

Sui Erqi closed the collection of biology papers with such certainty and climbed into bed, the repeated dream came again this night.

When he watched his parents change from a healthy and happy state to rotting corpses in front of his eyes, and then not even the corpses were left, and finally they were all scattered into a pile of ashes, this feeling was not just sad, but a feeling A dense pain spread from his heart, as if it stopped his breathing, causing everything around him to escape.

He was in a state of emptiness, unable to hear or see clearly, and his own vitality gradually disappeared, as if he was slowly sinking into the bottom of the sea. The sea water surrounded him and poured into his seven orifices. He wanted to He said something in the end, but he didn't say anything in the end, and he was suffocated to death.

"Huh!" Sui Qi opened his eyes abruptly, it was dawn again, this was the seventh day he had the same dream, and it felt more real every time, the faces of his parents clearly appeared in front of him , The first second was still smiling warmly, but the next second it turned into ashes, and in the end the feeling of suffocation surrounded by water became clearer and clearer each time.How can this be explained scientifically, and this problem can only be solved with a scientific explanation.

Sui Erqi has consulted a lot of books, and they all say that the formation of dreams is complicated, because the brain's operating mechanism is complicated, and what you think, hear, see and see in daily life will be reflected in the dream.

Just like the mother he saw in the dream, in fact, Sui Erqi didn't have a specific impression of his mother before having this dream.His mother passed away when he was six years old, and there is no picture of his mother left at home, so how could he see that clear face in his dream?

It is said in the book that the human brain is amazing, and the things we saw when we were young will remain in our memory, but we may not be able to remember these things under normal circumstances.The memories stored in the brain during dreaming were mobilized, forming a dream that I thought was unbelievable.

There is also evidence for the nervousness like being surrounded and suffocated by sea water, because the three parts of the brain that are most active in dreams are related to the reward incentive mechanism and emotional processing, so there will be very strong emotions in dreams and corresponding symptoms will appear. Physiological signs.

In other words, this weird dream for seven days in a row was due to a certain memory recorded in the depths of his mind that he didn't know about, which explained the problem in the form of a dream.

When Shen He got the train ticket, he heard Sui Erqi say such a scientifically based explanation. It was rare for him to hear Sui Erqi say so much. This time it was Shen He's turn to just ask: "Don't worry about why you Dreaming, is it because uncles and aunts miss you that they fall into the dream, and you say whether you will go back or not? I bought all the tickets, so dare you say you won’t go back and try!”

A train ticket was stuffed into Sui Erqi's hand by Shen He, it was a posture that he had to go back to his hometown to have a look.He didn't reject Shen He's kindness. Going back to have a look doesn't mean he agrees with Yinhuntuomeng's statement. He just thought that he will go to Guangdong to work in the future. There is less time to go back to his hometown. There is nothing wrong with going back this time. .

Seeing that Sui Erqi didn't continue to emphasize that going home to sweep the tomb is not the solution to the troubles in dreams, Shen He was relieved, having a very assertive bamboo horse is sometimes a tiring thing.

"I said that although we are all a new generation who grew up under the red flag and learned materialism, you think dreams have nothing to do with supernatural phenomena, let alone uncles and aunts asking you to come home to have a look in your dreams, but the ancestors It has been said that everything is too much, don't talk too much about anything.

Zi once said that he would not talk about strange powers and chaotic gods, but he also said that he respected ghosts and gods and stayed away.You have dreamed that your uncle and aunt passed away for seven days. According to the old saying, it is probably something happened to their cemetery. Combined with your saying that you feel suffocated by being submerged in water, it is very likely that the tomb was flooded. "

Of course Sui Erqi didn't believe it, what Shen He meant was not only that he was haunted by ghosts, but also that he had the ability to perceive. "I haven't seen any floods in the south of the Yangtze River in the news. Your words will be self-defeating when they reach the place. Don't continue talking. Most of the words of those fortune-tellers are ambiguous and used to fool people. What does it mean to be flooded? , A few days ago it was Qingming Festival, maybe someone else spilled the kettle they brought when sweeping the grave, and it spilled on my parents' graves, that could also be called a flood."

In fact, Shen He just casually said that he was different from Sui Erqi, he was not able to go home this time during the Qingming Festival, but his parents went home to sweep the graves of his grandparents.The place where Shen He's grandparents and Sui Erqi's parents were buried was less than three kilometers away, and it was of course clear whether there was a flood that flooded the cemetery.

However, maybe there are no absolutes in the world, after Sui Erqi and Shen He traveled thousands of miles back home, they found something in the small town, the incense and candle shop here was booming.

Shenjia Town is not big, and the villagers basically know each other. Over the years, whether they have jumped in the queue and settled down, or some people have gone outside to develop, but the familiarity among the villagers has not been broken.

"Isn't this the old Shen family Xiaohe and Erqi! It's really time for you to come back, especially Erqi. If you don't come back, the mayor will send you a telegram."

As soon as the two of them arrived in the town, they were stopped by Aunt Jiang, who was still holding a stack of yellow paper and a few incense candles. Seeing the blank expressions of the two, it was like pouring beans and talking about everything. .

"You don't know what happened, do you? The cemetery in the back mountain of our town was flooded! This is the first time this happened in hundreds of years. It was clear that there was not much rain during Qingming. Suddenly, a heavy rain fell overnight, and the river was poured into the cemetery. Everyone is annoyed now. If you want to say that a few years ago, don’t make any trouble with the upstream village for irrigation and diversion. Something has happened!

Xiaohe, your family is lucky, the water didn't reach the high ground, but your parents' tomb is not so lucky.This matter is more troublesome because there are many cemeteries affected. The mayor has organized the relocation of the graves in a unified way. You should go to the mayor to hear the specific arrangements. "

Shen He was a little dazed, he just said that casually, could it be that he still has the ability of crow's mouth?He really didn't curse Sui Erqi on purpose, his parents' tomb was flooded or something, this news made him uncomfortable.

"It's going to rain, and no one can control this matter." Sui Erqi started to speak instead, "Your grandparents were buried early so they chose a place with high terrain, and my parents were buried late, so the terrain is low. It’s a normal logical sequence. So you don’t need to think that I’m really unlucky, and you don’t need to think that you suddenly became enlightened after being ordinary for 22 years, and you know the curse skills.”

Is this consolation?At this moment, Shen He felt that it would be good for Sui Erqi to believe in some science more.

But Shen Hequ really felt that Sui Erqi's dream was not a simple dream, maybe it was a haunted dream.Thinking about it this way, the main task now is to get the cemetery with my father and mother in order.

The two went to the mayor to learn about the specific arrangements, but saw an old man in shabby clothes arguing with the mayor.

"Old Shi, I'm not crazy. I remembered that it was the ghosts of Shenhe. They used to sing a ghost show to them every 18 years. It's been 18 years. You don't sing for them during the Qingming Festival. , They flooded your grave after Qingming. It’s useless to move the grave now, if you don’t sing this opera, no matter how high you go, it will make trouble for you!”

Sui Erqi frowned slightly, he knew this old man, he had heard that he was a fortune teller, but since he could remember, he had never seen this old man live normally, people in the town called him a crazy old man.
