spirit walker says

Ji Chen couldn't remember how he got here.

The sun was setting, and there was an orange-red dusk outside the window.He looked around with the light from the window, only to realize that he was in a small room. The things in the room were not dilapidated, but the styles looked old, and they were all outdated furnishings.

He stood up and looked down, only to realize that what he was sitting on was not a chair, but a small crib with no rails to cover it.

When I looked up again, the furnishings in the room changed. There were some plush ornaments hanging directly above, and there were many toys around, all of which were small rubber or cloth dolls.Ji Chen lowered his head, looked at the crib he was sitting on, and suddenly realized that this room was a baby's room.

But the child is not here.

A few baby whispers came from outside the door, very soft, like a feather brushing against the ears, if you don’t pay attention, you will miss it. The child must have dreamed something, woke up from a deep sleep and hummed twice, a gentle voice A female voice followed, and if one had to describe that voice, the word "mother" would be the most appropriate word.

The gentle singing sound came and went, but for some reason, Ji Chen was attracted by the melodious melody, he walked slowly towards the door, and as he went forward, the voice gradually became clearer.

The moment he walked out the door, a warm figure appeared in his eyes. It was the figure of a mother with long hair and short sleeves, holding the little child in her arms. She was smiling and humming, coaxing the The child falls asleep.

With her back turned to Ji Chen, she didn't seem to notice his arrival, her gaze was always on the face of the baby in her arms.But Ji Chen seemed to be able to feel the heat in that gaze through her back, like the warm sun in spring, for some reason, he felt that the sun was shining on him.

Ji Chen likes such a warm family scene, this is an experience he has never had before, when he looks at others, he always thinks of himself unconsciously, if that is his mother, those hands will also hold the little girl He needs someone to take care of him... The slight sound of the door closing behind him interrupted his thoughts, he turned around, only to find that the door that sent him into this room was gone, and the place where the door should have been was only left. An empty wall.

And directly in front of his body, a door slowly opened.Ji Chen looked at the door suspiciously, then turned his head, glanced wistfully at the woman who put the child to sleep, and decided to continue walking.

He walked slowly forward a few steps, and when he entered the next room, there was a slight "bang" sounded behind him at the right time.

It’s still the same room, nothing has changed, except that the wallpaper has been replaced with new ones, the furnishings in the room have become more compact, the types of toys on the table have increased several times, and there have been some building blocks and jigsaw puzzles that require brains to play. .What people care about more than the interior decoration is the few people in the room with their backs to him. The woman is still the woman in the previous room, but there is an extra man beside her. The two are sitting on the floor covered with foam puzzles. above, with a small figure in the middle.

The child held up the toy in his hand, touched the man for a while, and the woman for a while, and finally amused himself, laughing "giggle".He smiled, and the adults on both sides also laughed.The man picked up a hand puppet from the ground, put the glove in, moved his fingers, and let the living doll greet the toy in the child's hand.

The childish gurgling sound of the child was even more joyful.

The corner of Ji Chen's mouth has unconsciously put on a smile.He laughed along with the kid.

He looked at the backs of the family of three, and was stunned for a while. When he realized it, the three people in front of him disappeared out of thin air, leaving only the empty room and the open door in front of him.Ji Chen sighed and continued to walk forward.

Behind this door is a spacious living room with a sofa in the middle of the room. The husband and wife we ​​saw just now are snuggling on the sofa, each holding a book.And their child was lying on the coffee table in front of them, holding half of a crayon to paint and draw. Ji Chen was clearly behind them, but he could clearly see what the child drew.

Blue sky and white clouds, green trees and red flowers, a little boy on the grass is flying a kite, and on the bench next to him, two figures, one red and one basket, are close together, just like they are embracing on the sofa.In the children's world, mother always wears a long red dress, while father must always wear a blue ball. Ji Chen remembers how he used color to distinguish gender when he was a child.

After finishing the last stroke, the child clapped his hands and commented on his masterpiece: "It's beautiful!"

"Yes, the painting is good and the most beautiful." The woman's gentle voice was full of a doting smile, she put down the book in her hand, and touched the child's head, "I will draw better and better in the future, us……"

Suddenly there was a dizzying sound of Weng Ming, Ji Chen couldn't hear the rest of the text clearly, he lowered his head and rubbed his head vigorously, trying to get out of his head the spinning images that day.I don't know if this method is really effective. When he let go of his hand, the annoying sound disappeared, and the people in the room disappeared.

Ji Chen knew very well that this was probably a dream, but he couldn't remember how the dream started.

The sun at dusk completely sank to the surface of the earth, and the sky became dark.The light in the room was not good, but there was a glimmer of light from the ajar door not far away.Ji Chen followed the light and walked over, gently pushed the door open, the wooden door creaked, but did not disturb the people inside, it seemed that he was separated from them by an invisible barrier, even if he really came to the front, he would not Be seen by them.

This is a study room.

The bookcase is full of books of all kinds. On the desk beside him, a thin young man is studying at his desk. The light of the whole room is concentrated on his desk, illuminating his vision. The heavy books are lying on the desk. There were piles of piles on the table, the young man was holding the pen in his hand tightly, the nib of the pen rubbing against the test paper made a slight rustling sound, the room was too quiet, this sound became the only melody in the study.

Ji Chen walked a few steps inside, his footsteps were very soft, so as not to disturb the people at the table.When he walked away, the door was pushed open again, it was still the same woman, and her steps were very light.The woman slowly came in with the scent of milk, she didn't say much, she just put the steaming cup on the table, and gently touched the boy's head, her tone was still so gentle: "Mom I will pick up your father from get off work, be good, and pay attention to rest, you know?"

"Yeah." The boy nodded, put down his pen, picked up the cup on the table and poured it into his mouth. The mother on the side hurriedly stopped it, but she didn't stop it, causing the child to be scalded firmly.

"Spit it out quickly! Spit it into the cup!"

The originally quiet room suddenly became noisy. The child spit out the small mouthful of milk, took a deep breath, and stuck out his tongue: "It's so hot..."

"What's the hurry, look at your child, you can't let mother worry at this age..." After confirming that there was no burn, the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief. She hugged the boy in her arms and rubbed him affectionately cheek, "Good boy, mom will be back in a while."

"Okay." The young man turned his body slightly, half of his face illuminated by the desk lamp came into Ji Chen's sight.

Her forehead hair was messed up by her mother, her smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a beautiful arc. That face was very familiar, but also very strange. It was Ji Chen who would look in the mirror every day when he woke up. The face facing him, but the smile on that face, he had never seen before.

Mother let go of her hand: "Chenchen, go to bed early."

With belated awareness, Ji Chen raised his head and stared at the soft face of the woman in the light. Is that his mother?The man in the room just now...is his father?He felt that something in his heart was growing wildly like weeds, every inch sprouted and spread, filling the atrium with soreness and pain.

"Mom?" Ji Chen unconsciously uttered this strange word. He chased after the figure in front of him and rushed up, but his vision was suddenly enveloped by a dazzling white light. He turned his head and stretched out his hand to block it, but he didn't stop chasing pace.

"Chenchen..." A voice kept calling him, as if it came from a distant valley.

The voice was so gentle, even ethereal, that people couldn't tell whether it was real or a dream, and Ji Chen responded without thinking: "I'm here!"

"Chenchen, have you grown this big already?"

A pair of hands stretched out from the white light, and gently caressed his cheeks, the palms were a little rough due to years of hard work, but the palms were warm, hotter than his cheeks, Ji Chen opened his eyes, It's the woman from just now, it's his mother... She is no longer young, but she is still beautiful.

There are stars in those ageless eyes, twinkling and shining.

"I'm going to pick your dad up from get off work, you've grown up so much." The woman's voice was very close, right in front of her eyes, "Honey, hurry up, our son has grown up."

"Hey, I see, it's so big." A man's shadow suddenly appeared in the white spot of light. Ji Chen widened his eyes and looked at his smiling eyes. He really looks like himself. From the eyebrows to the outline, it is really printed in a mold.this is really...

"What's the matter? Why are you looking at Mom and Dad like this?" The woman straightened his neckline for him, and lifted the bag in her hand with a smile, "Mom bought vegetables, let's go home, and eat your favorite hot pot today."

Home……

This strange concept suddenly took shape in Ji Chen's head. His home has a living room with a comfortable sofa, books his parents loved to read on the coffee table, and pictures he drew when he was a child.The fish tank in the living room has fish raised by my father, and the balcony is full of jasmine flowers that my mother likes. In summer, it is emerald green and fragrant.

The bookcase in the study room is full of Dad's collection of books, as well as the textbooks he was reluctant to throw away, and the cartoons from childhood, all of which are well stacked.

In the bedroom, there are mattresses made by my mother, carpets picked by my father, and lamps on the bedside table that I picked myself. There are also group photos of the family. In the family portrait, everyone is smiling happily.

"Let's go, Chenchen, let's go home together." A man who was a head taller than him stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled gently, "Let's have dinner later, and have a drink with Dad, okay? "

"Your father was going to have a social event today, but he was pushed away, just for our family reunion to have a meal. He called me specifically to buy groceries. Look at him, how good he is at calling people!" Mother complained, the corners of her mouth twitched. Smile but can't hide it.

The two said in unison: "Let's go, Chenchen, let's go home."

"I can go back to my home." Ji Chen wiped his face, the weeds that grew wildly in his heart suddenly bloomed, this is what he longed for since he was a child.A home with parents, a home where people don’t have to wander around anymore, where someone will miss him wherever he goes, and someone is waiting for him to go back home.

Ji Chen raised his head, his parents had gradually walked away, leaving him with two backs walking side by side, he hurried to catch up and shouted: "Wait for me!"

The people in front didn't look back, they just walked forward slowly, arm in arm.Ji Chen runs hard, runs fast, no matter how fast he chases, the person in front will always be a distance away from him, but he turns his head from time to time and says with a smile: "Chen Chen, hurry up, come here quickly. "

Ji Chen was running out of breath, but he didn't want to stop: "Wait for me, I'll be right..."

"Chenchen!"

A familiar voice came from behind, and Ji Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks. At the same time, the figure in front of him also stopped. They turned around slowly, looking at him with some doubts: "Why? Hurry? Come here."

Ji Chen's body froze: "I..."

The eager voice sounded again: "Chenchen! Come back, come back!"

The scene in front of Ji Chen's eyes was instantly blurred, and there was a burning pain in his abdomen. He lowered his head and lifted up his clothes. The skin on the side of his lower abdomen was burnt red, and on top of the redness was a bird Black curly-tailed animal.He froze for a moment, but his heart suddenly tightened, as if someone had squeezed him hard, causing him to suffocate with pain.

He turned his head quickly, and in the white spot of light, there was an open door not far behind him. The person inside the door was against the light, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could clearly see his outstretched hand. He could hear him calling urgently to himself.

"Chenchen, I'm here."

"Chenchen, come here quickly, come back quickly, we have to go home!"

"Chenchen..."

Ji Chen took a step back. With just this step, his internal organs hurt as if someone had run over them with a millstone. The pain made him unable to stand up straight anymore. He staggered and fell to the ground, vomiting With a mouthful of scarlet blood, the call beside her ear became more urgent: "Chenchen! Hurry up, come back!"

The pain woke him up from the fog of memory. The corner of the boy's blood-stained mouth slightly grinned, and he squeezed out a wry smile that was uglier than crying. He tried his best to prop up his body, and staggered a few more steps towards the door. .

One step later, the wind picked up, and the wind was so strong that it hurt my cheeks.

Another step, the strong wind mixed with the knife, scratched him all over his body, and the parents behind him shouted loudly, telling him to turn back and let him go home.

Another step, he felt his heart being pulled by a wire, every breath was filled with a choking smell of blood, his lips trembled in pain, his hands and feet trembled.

Step by step, Ji Chen felt that he was about to be torn apart alive, pain, cold, burning, helpless, the more he was afraid of something, the stronger the wind was, but he couldn't stop, he stretched open with tears eyes, moving forward with difficulty against the wind.

"My home is not here." The boy covered his ears with his bruised hands, shutting out his parents' shouts, exhausted his last strength, took the last step, slammed into the door, and slammed into the person in the arms.

The world in front of me turns from white to black, and from black to white again, as if countless days and nights have passed, and countless seasons have been kneaded into it.

Choking out a mouthful of fishy sweetness, Ji Chen finally opened his misty eyes.

"I love you."

This was the first sentence he heard when he woke up. The speaker held his hand tightly, pressed his warm palm against his cold fingers, pressed their foreheads against each other tightly, and even the tears melted got together.

The person who woke him up gave the warmest welcome to this long-lost reunion with the gentlest tone of his life: "Chenchen, I love you."
