Qimen Dunjia

Chapter 48 Dream
After eating the midnight birthday meal, Lou Xiaolou sent Sangya back to Haohong community.

Sang Ya said: "You can accompany me tonight. The last night."

Lou Xiaolou was stunned for a moment, but did not make a statement.

Sangya said: "I am your daughter. If you are in love, you will belong to her tomorrow. You are my father, but she is not my mother."

Lou Xiaolou hugged Sangya's shoulders and went home together.

The street lamp shone down high, and there were long shadows swaying beside the two people.As Lou Xiaolou walked, he felt something was wrong again.He thought hard, why did he feel this way?

Sang Ya interrupted his train of thought: "I'm learning a kind of acting recently, guess what it is?"

Lou Xiaolou said: "You are not a stage girl, you are a book girl."

Sangya said: "This kind of performance is very unique."

Lou Xiaolou said, "Dancing?"

Sangya said, "No."

Lou Xiaolou said, "Sing?"

Sangya said, "No."

Lou Xiaolou said, "Recite?"

Sangya said, "No."

Lou Xiaolou said, "Act in a movie?"

Sangya said, "No."

Lou Xiaolou said, "A musical instrument?"

Sangya said, "No."

Lou Xiaolou said, "Magic?"

Sangya said, "It's a bit close."

Lou Xiaolou said, "Acrobatics?"

Sangya said, "No."

Lou Xiaolou said, "I can't guess."

Sang Ya said, "Ventrilo."

Lou Xiaolou said: "Ventriloquism? The sound of a train? The sound of a drum set? The sound of birds chirping?"

Sang Ya said: "I was very mysterious when I learned the text "Ventuli" in junior high school. Recently, I tried to imitate the voices of some sketch actors and some famous dubbing actors, and it was quite similar."

Lou Xiaolou said: "I don't think you are suitable for mouth kung fu. Because you are an introverted girl at heart, and silence is your normal state."

Sang Ya said: "An organ that is never used must have something extraordinary. I can... Simulate the voices of hundreds or even thousands of people at the same time, do you believe it?"

Lou Xiaolou said: "It sounds scary. How many decibels are your vocal cords?"

Sang Ya said, "Stupid, it's Yuan Sheng."

Lou Xiaolou said: "You learn, I'll listen."

Sang Ya said: "I'll perform for you when I'm perfect."

That night, Lou Xiaolou and Sangya were together.They were lying on the same bed, and Lou Xiaolou patted her shoulder lightly, humming a soft song.

Finally, Sangya fell asleep peacefully.

While patting her, Lou Xiaolou was still thinking about what went wrong today and why she always felt wrong.

In "our house", she went to the bathroom...

When they came back, the two of them were walking on the corridor of the community together...

After thinking about it, I suddenly thought of the reason, and my scalp went numb - there was no shadow of Sang Ya!
In "our house", when she went to the bathroom, the pillars, tables and chairs, bonsai...all had long shadows in the candlelight.However, her feet were bare and without shadows, like a phantom that did not exist.

Before that, the two people also said that Lou Xiaolou and another Lou Xiaolou were separated by time, he was the shadow of Lou Xiaolou, and he went to the distance to find the shadow of Sangya...

When the two returned home, under the street lamp, there was only one shadow under their feet, which belonged to Lou Xiaolou.Sangya didn't seem to notice this problem either, or she was avoiding it.She keeps talking.

Sangya let out a soft snoring sound.

Lou Xiaolou stopped beating, and thought blankly: Is this girl Sangya?

Is the real Sangya back in 2006?Could it be that Sangya in front of her is just a phantom?
Lou Xiaolou's thinking suddenly came across a dark corner—is she doomed to die, even if he carried her to escape the lightning strike, it was just an appearance, did she no longer exist?

Or, to compare human beings and fate to a chessboard, she is the "cart" and death is the "horse". In fact, she has been eaten by the "horse".Lou Xiaolou, a "pawn", thought that everything would be fine if she caught the "horse" leg, but in fact it was human's rules and thinking, and the "horse" still ate her.It's just that the chess hand didn't throw the "rook" aside, she was still on the chessboard, but it was already a dead chess piece, being crushed by another "horse".Her position, her body, is already a "horse"...

Suddenly, he smelled a burnt smell, turned his head and glanced at Sangya, his eyes widened—her hair seemed to be ignited by an invisible fire, emitting green smoke, curving and shrinking rapidly , quickly became bare.Her body also bent and contracted a little bit, and in an instant she turned into a charred corpse, facing up to the sky, with her legs and arms bent, in a very strange posture.

Lou Xiaolou sat up at once, wiped his eyes and looked again, it was like a hallucination, Sang Ya was still sleeping soundly.

He lay down slowly, thinking, if the current Sangya is really a charred corpse, would he be afraid if he was guarding the spirit beside her?

While thinking wildly, he vaguely heard a few old men chatting.

Has anyone gotten up for morning exercises?It's too early to be possible.Moreover, the windows of this house are made of German materials and are well sealed. Even if someone is talking downstairs, it is impossible to hear them so clearly.

There seemed to be three old men.

1: "Did you bring tea to those travelers today?"

2: "Here, three pots of Ganoderma lucidum tea."

1: "How are you collecting waste today?"

2: "It's the same. I collected more than a dozen catties of old magazines, dozens of glass bottles, and a few old clothes."

1: "Have you received it?"

2: "Originally there was a girl, I loaded the tricycle, she jumped off and ran away. Since there are people on the earth, I have received a total of 850 billion people, this is the first time such a thing happened. Accident."

1 asked another old man, "Did your wheelchair break?"

3: "It's being repaired. However, I want to try to learn to walk by myself."

2: "You might as well take off your legs and throw them away, so that your arms will become more and more developed. Look, how strong your two little hands are! Hehe, hehe."

1 and 3 also laughed together.

In the dark night, these voices, these laughter, seemed very terrifying.They seem to come from the living room, they seem to come from the study, they seem to come from the bathroom, they seem to come from the kitchen, they seem to come from under the bed, they seem to come from the ceiling, they seem to come from the windows, they seem to come from...

Lou Xiaolou's eyes widened, and he slowly turned to Sangya—the voices of several old men chatting came from Sangya!

Sangya was still asleep, but her mouth was moving slowly.

Lou Xiaolou suppressed his heartbeat, thinking quickly, could this be Sangya practicing ventriloquism in her dream?
Sang Ya turned over, her mouth was still moving slowly.

This time, it turned into the chatter of hundreds of old men, a bit like a bird market in the morning, full of noise, some people are bargaining, some are bargaining, some are praising a kind of bird, some are belittling a kind of bird...

There are more and more people, tens of thousands.It was hard for Lou Xiaolou to believe that these voices came from Sangya's mouth.In the voice of the old man all over the world, he couldn't help shaking.

Suddenly, all sounds stopped.

A dead silence.

Lou Xiaolou turned his head slowly, and saw a pair of eyes, it was Sang Ya, she was staring at Lou Xiaolou in the dark.

He asked in a low voice, "You... why aren't you asleep?"

She didn't answer, but just asked resentfully: "I'm dead, why did you save me?" She shouldn't have asked such a question, because Lou Xiaolou had never told her the truth.

He thought for a while and said, "I'm saving myself."

Suddenly there was a flash of white light, and an old man sat up from Sangya's body, holding a teapot, slowly got down to the ground, opened the window lightly and went out, whereabouts are unknown.

Another old man got up from Sang Ya's body, carrying a plastic bag and an old-fashioned scale, and also went out through the window, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Then, another old man sat up from Sang Ya's body, climbed to the window with a pair of baby-sized hands, and went out, but his whereabouts are unknown.

Lou Xiaolou thought it was an illusion, but the window was indeed open, and the night wind was blowing gently, making it a bit cool.

Sang Ya tiredly closed her heavy eyelids.

The sun rises majestically, and the darkness disappears.

Birds all over the world chirped joyfully.

The window was open, and the smell of wet grass wafted in.

Sangya woke up.

After seeing Lou Xiaolou, she froze for a moment, then stretched out her arms to hug him, and kissed his forehead lightly.

Lou Xiaolou was at a loss for a while.

Sang Ya laughed and called out brightly: "Dad."

Finish.
