Qimen Dunjia

Chapter 34 Looking for a Dream
4 month 23 day.

Sang Ya was struck by lightning and died in a dead end.

She has only been in this world for 17 years, and her life is still so delicate.

This day is Lou Xiaolou's 34th birthday.

In the morning, Lou Xiaolou also called Sangya and told her to wait for him at school after school, and he would pick her up and go to "our house" on Sanlitun South Street for dinner.

Last year, six girls accompanied Lou Xiaolou on his birthday.

This year, he just wants to be with Sangya.This girl made him feel peaceful, fulfilled, and joyful.

During the divorce, Lou Xiaolou negotiated with his ex-wife, and all the deposits were given to his ex-wife, and the two houses in the family were left to Lou Xiaolou.Basically equal to half of one person's property.Now, he lives in a house in the Asian Games Village, and the house in Shaoyaodi is always vacant.He doesn't want to rent out his home any more than he wants someone else to use his toothbrush.

After Sang Ya came to Beijing to go to school, he let Sang Ya live in that house.After all, it is cleaner than the school dormitory, and there are computers, which is very convenient...

It was raining this day, but there were many patients. Lou Xiaolou had been busy all day, and finally got off work.He stretched himself, and was about to go to the University of Chinese Medicine, when the phone rang, and it was a neighbor calling, and he said, "Lou Xiaolou, something happened to the girl who lives in your house!"
Lou Xiaolou was startled: "What happened?"
The neighbor said: "In the morning, she went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and passed by that dead end..."
Lou Xiaolou asked word by word: "Is there any help?"
The neighbor said: "Same as the previous two, both burnt. The police cordoned off the scene and they have confirmed that the girl died from a lightning strike."
Lou Xiaolou asked, "What time is it?"
"It's nine past four in the morning," said the neighbor.
The third.

Unexpectedly, the third one was actually Sang Ya!
Lou Xiaolou dropped the phone and sat down on the chair.

Lightning and thunder still thundered outside the window, like a group of wolves who ate people and refused to leave for the time being. They licked the corners of their mouths next to the bones, walked around, and let out low growls from time to time.

Lou Xiaolou thought that the reason why Sangya went shopping was because she wanted to make a birthday dinner for herself...

If she didn't know him at that time; if she insisted on coming to Beijing for the exam for him; if he didn't let her live in the house in Shaoyaodi; if he didn't tell her that today was his birthday; As I said, in 2005, two people were struck by lightning one after another in a dead end, and they should never pass there on rainy days; if he had learned Qimen Dunjia and predicted good or bad luck for Sangya in advance... nothing like this would have happened.

Lou Xiaolou stood up, wanting to go to the dead end to take a look at Sangya, but when he reached the door, he stopped again.He thought painfully for a long time, and finally gave up on this idea - he really didn't want to see her miserable appearance.

A loved one died, and he wished to see her remains, or her ashes.However, he didn't want to see her half-burned in the crematorium—the current Sangya was half-burned.

Her family will arrive shortly to cremate the body.At that time, he will visit her.At that time, she would smile slightly on the urn, just like when Lou Xiaolou saw her for the first time.

Lou Xiaolou sat in the consulting room until dark.

On his birthday and the anniversary of Sangya's death, it rained all the time.

He drove back to Jingshan Community in the rain, parked the car on the side of the road, and walked home staggeringly against the rain.There was an umbrella in the car, but he didn't use it.

After entering the door, his whole body was soaked.

He didn't change his clothes, and sat on the sofa dripping wet.The TV was not turned on, and his pale face was reflected on the screen. In such a short time, he had aged a lot.

He once said to Sangya: Take you to the past and come to the future.

Now, she lost even the present...

He began to think about fate again.

Sangya's death was not accidental, it must have been caused by some mysterious force.If Sangya is a "pawn", then Lei is a "handsome".The old chess player took a step forward "pawn" and hit "handsome", who must eat the "pawn".So, can an old man who plays chess regret his chess?
If in this world, there is a resurrection technique that can bring Sangya back to life, even if it takes a lifetime, Lou Xiaolou will have to learn this technique.At that time, Lou Xiaolou had silver hair all over his head, and his face was covered with the ups and downs of the years.Sang Ya was resurrected, but she was still 17 years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, as delicate as snow.She seemed to have had a long dream, staring blankly at Lou Xiaolou, and asked: Are you Lou Xiaolou's grandfather?
Lou Xiaolou was restless and grieved, standing up for a while and sitting down for a while.Finally, his eyes stopped on the TV, and he thought that the TV should report this incident, so let's take a look at her from a distance.

With that in mind, he turned on the TV.

Searched around, but did not see reports of this lightning strike.Maybe it's already aired.

In the end, he stayed on Huadu Satellite TV.

A special topic is being broadcast - "Talk about idols, talk about fans".Lou Xiaolou was not in the mood to watch such a program, but did not turn it off.The rain had stopped and the room was too quiet for the noise of the TV.In fact, his eyes looked at the screen, but he saw nothing.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he straightened up.

The reporter was interviewing at the gate of Huadu Park. A female student came out of it. The reporter stopped her and asked, "Are you a middle school student? We want to interview. Do you like Andy Lau?"
The girl covered her face with a straw hat, said, "Sorry, I don't know you," and hurried past.

Lou Xiaolou was dumbfounded——this girl is clearly Sangya!

Sangya!

From the reporter's commentary, he knew that these interview shots were recorded in Huadu Park that morning.

How is this going?

Sangya is dead, how could she appear on TV?Could it be another girl who looks exactly like Sangya?

impossible.Lou Xiaolou decided that she was Sang Ya!Her attitude, her eyes, her clothes, her walking posture...

However, even if Sangya is not dead, she still talked to Lou Xiaolou on the phone in the morning, so it is impossible to go to Huadu Park thousands of miles away.

The more Lou Xiaolou thought about it, the more confused he became.

Suddenly, he stood up and changed into a newly bought suit—a light yellow dress shirt and navy blue dress pants.Then, he went to the study room, opened the drawer, took out the stack of Qimen Dunjia that had been faxed, took his ID card, packed some money, and hurried downstairs.He is going to find Sangya.He is going to find Sangya in a dream.

When he was about to walk out of the gate of the community, someone called him: "Little Lou!"
He looked up and saw his mother running towards him.

She said anxiously: "Just now I went to the house in Shaoyaodi, and I heard that something happened to the girl who lives there?"
Lou Xiaolou said, "Yes."
Mother said: "This is troublesome! Maybe we will be blackmailed by her family..."
Lou Xiaolou said impatiently: "Mom, what are you talking about now!"
Mother said: "Don't believe me!"
Lou Xiaolou said, "Okay, I have to go."
The mother looked at her son in surprise and asked, "Why are you going?"
Lou Xiaolou said, "I'm going to Huadu."
Mother said: "Huadu? What are you doing in Huadu?"
Lou Xiaolou said: "Let's relax."
Mother said: "I won't let you go, you come home with me for a few days."
Lou Xiaolou said, "Mom, I must go."
The mother said: "That girl lived in your house, and now she is dead, if you leave Beijing suddenly, the police will suspect you!"
Lou Xiaolou said, "It doesn't matter."
After speaking, he strode away, walked out of the community, reached out to call a taxi, and got in.

My mother caught up and stopped the car, shedding tears, and said, "Xiao Lou, I had a dream last night, which seemed to be a foreshadowing. It must be a bad luck for you to go out this time! For mom, can you change your mind?"
Lou Xiaolou squinted at his mother and said, "What dream?"
My mother said: "I dreamed that you fell into a huge vortex. That vortex is like a Tai Chi diagram. There is white in the black, and black in the white, like two strange eyeballs. The black pushes the white, and the white pushes the white." Hey, there are countless children laughing and laughing. From then on, you will never come out again..."
Lou Xiaolou said: "Find an expert to interpret your dream, and then call me to tell me the result. I'll wait in the vortex. Drive."
The driver couldn't wait any longer. As soon as the car jumped up, he drove away.

Mother stood stupidly.

Two tail lights, sailing into the depths of the darkness, getting darker and darker, and finally being swallowed up.

The dark clouds in the sky partly dispersed, revealing a few bright stars.

What does the vortex in the dream symbolize?Why are there countless children laughing and laughing?Why can't my son get out after being stuck in it? ...

No one told the poor mother the answer.

The smell of rain all over the world.
