dream soul

It is rainy in late spring in the south of the Yangtze River. The rain is not heavy, but it is continuous, and it is wet for several days.Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and it soaks until one's bones are crispy. At night, sleeping with the sound of the pattering rain on your pillow is naturally a sweet sleep.

Zheng Qi was tired from busy work during the day, and slept soundly. He seemed to be standing in a hazy mist, unable to see the surrounding scenery clearly, and heard the sound of the flute faintly. He felt very strange, but his feet could not help following the flute Go in the direction from which the sound came.

After stumbling around like this for a long time, the fog around him became thinner and the sound of the flute became clearer and clearer. Zheng Qi saw that he had actually walked back into the hotel room.

Just as the sound of the flute stopped, the man dressed as a scholar by the window put down the bamboo flute in his hand, smiled slightly at Zheng Qi, and said, "You are here."

Zheng Qi watched the man walking towards him step by step, and when he came in front of him, those smiling eyes approached little by little, deeply imprinted in Zheng Qi's eyes.

It’s really pretty, Zheng Qi thought in a daze.Those eyes are slightly raised, and when she smiles, she is crooked, and the water is shining, as if all the peach blossoms are blooming in this person's eyes, but she doesn't feel kitsch at all. This is the real beauty of Gusu.

Zheng Qi looked into the man's eyes and kept watching.Seeing him laughing, watching him approaching me, watching him push my lips close, and then a cool breath came from his lips, and his almost collapsed mind suddenly turned back: "Who are you?"

The man backed away, with a look of surprise on his face, but still frowned, and said: "Xiaosheng Ruan Chanling."

cicada age?Ruan Chanling?When did I know such a person.

Zheng Qi rubbed his temples, and then looked at that person carefully.When did I know him, maybe I was dreaming?

dream?Yes, dreaming.

Zheng Qi was suddenly sober, he was dreaming.Isn't this person from the dream last time?

Recalling the last dream, he said that he was Zheng Qi's pillow, and Zheng Qi was even more surprised and suspicious: "Are you a human or a demon? Why did you enter my dream?"

The man who claimed to be Ruan Chanling saw Zheng Qi's expression changed a few times, so he knew that Zheng Qi had reacted, and said: "It's rare for you to be so awake in a dream."

After finishing speaking, he took another two steps back, bowed to Zheng Qi, and said, "Xiaosheng Ruan Chanling was from Gusu before his death. Now, he is a lonely ghost."

Ghost... Zheng Qi was stunned for a moment.To admit it so generously... It's scary!However, this ghost is really good-looking.

Seeing that he was silent, Ruan Chanling thought he was frightened, and quickly explained: "Brother, don't be afraid, I really mean nothing. I was killed by gangsters on the way to Beijing to rush for the exam. My body was not buried, and my soul was trapped with me." In the bamboo flute I carry, it’s hard to see the sky, and I can’t reincarnate. Only a few days ago, I sensed the blood energy of my elder brother before I could dream and move around.”

"Then why would you...uh, do that kind of thing with me..."

Hearing this, Cicada Ling was stunned for a moment, her face slowly blushed, and after a long time she whispered: "What I did before was just... just to repay elder brother."

After hearing what he said, Zheng Qi felt another wave of ups and downs in his heart.In the past, I only heard stories about beautiful women and ghosts who love down-and-out scholars in legends and folklore, but I didn't expect this kind of plot to happen to me.Still a scholarly male ghost!

Zheng Qi looked confused.Even though he has seen a lot of things in his travels, he can't react at this time.Could it be that God knew that he was a broken sleeve, so he arranged it?

Seeing that Zheng Qi continued to remain silent, Chan Ling also stopped talking, and sat on a chair beside her with Xiao in her arms, secretly glancing at him occasionally.

There was a knife on Sezi's head, Zheng Qi was not stupid, he calmed down after a while, cleared his throat and said: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen to Chan Ling at such a young age, what a beauty... Bah, God is really jealous of talents."

Saying that, she walked over to hold Chan Ling's hand, and said sincerely: "Since you and I have this fate, I will treat you well."

Cicada Ling wanted to withdraw her hand a little uncomfortably, and said, "Brother, aren't you afraid of me?"

"What are you afraid of? Although you are not human, you are not here to harm me."

"You don't dislike me?"

"How come, Chan Ling is so handsome, I'm afraid I'm not good enough for you." Zheng Qi's eyes became more sincere.Liu Shiwen allowed me to buy such a treasure as you. I have never done such a valuable transaction in my life.

"My soul is weak, I'm afraid I can only meet you in a dream in the future."

"It's okay, it's okay, your body is important."

Just like this, Zheng Qi and Ruan Chanling fell in love at first sight, and they hooked up and became adulterers.

Zheng Qi was actually not such a perverted person, but when he saw Ruan Chanling, he liked it for no reason, just like buying that flute before, he liked it for no reason.

In the next few days, Zheng Qi bought silk during the day, and met Chan Ling in a dream at night.Zheng Qi has been away from home since he was a child, and he is used to being alone. It is rare to have someone who knows the cold and the hot to accompany him. He just feels that this cicada's words and deeds are in line with his own heart, and he is really moved without knowing it. I also have the idea of ​​staying with him forever.It's just that his origin is unknown after all, Zheng Qi still kept his mind open and asked the waiter in the inn for a question.

"You said the family surnamed Ruan. There is a family in the east of the city. His youngest son is called Chan Ling. Unfortunately, he disappeared when he went to Beijing to take the exam two years ago. I don't know if you are looking for it?" Xiao Er took the letter from Zheng Qi Broken Silver replied with a smile on his face.

Zheng Qi rubbed the corners of his eyes and said, "It's nothing, just ask a friend."

The waiter who received the money was quite good at serving, and said with concern: "I see that your complexion is not good, but I want to help you find a doctor."

"It's nothing." Zheng Qi politely declined, "I've been very busy recently, maybe I haven't had a good rest. Thank you very much."

After asking Xiao Er, Zheng Qi was relieved.But now Cicada Ling is a lonely soul, hard to see the light of day, and his soul is weak, and one day, his soul will suddenly fly away. After suffering so much, it is really difficult for the two of them to talk about the future.After I have been busy for a while, I have to leave Gusu again, so I have to make a good plan.

As soon as Zheng Qi came this day, he said to Chan Ling: "I have something to tell you."

Chan Ling was writing something at the table, seeing Zheng Qi coming, she quickly put down her pen to meet him.Zheng Qi asked curiously, "What are you writing?"

Chan Ling smiled: "It's nothing, just to pass the time." He said again, "Didn't you have something to tell me?"

Only then did Zheng Qi remember, and he shared his worries with Chan Ling.

Chan Lingxian didn't believe it, and said: "Brother, don't be joking. It is my blessing that I can accompany you in my dream. I dare not expect to be with you forever. The right way is to find a wife as soon as possible."

"Ma'am, what's madam. You are the only one I miss in my heart. First you attracted me, and now I treat you sincerely, but you say such things, aren't you teasing me?"

Chan Ling mumbled: "That's not what I meant." He sighed again, "If I don't want to be a lonely ghost, I'm going to be reincarnated. If I want to be reincarnated, I have to find my own body and bury it formally. I was originally Sudden misfortune happened, the body might have rotted in the field long ago, or was eaten by wild beasts, where can we find it."

Seeing that Zheng Qi was silent, Chanling smiled bitterly and slightly mockingly: "I have never been reincarnated, and the person who was supposed to be my reincarnation is probably an idiot. After I reincarnate, that person will return to normal." , It’s just like this, I won’t remember you. Besides, you don’t even know where that person is, so even if you want to find me, you can’t do anything. If this is the case, brother still wants me to reincarnate?”

Zheng Qi didn't expect that there were these origins, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Chanling held Zheng Qi's hand and said: "Actually, it's pretty good now, I'm very content."

Zheng Qi lowered his head and asked for a long time: "How long have you been trapped in this flute?"

"How long?" Cicada Ling thought for a while and said, "What year is it now?"

"Eight years of Jianchang."

"That's almost three years."

"What were you doing in there before you met me?"

"Don't do anything. Before I met you, most of this place was nothingness. I usually think about my previous life. It's quite magical here. Whatever you think about will appear."

"You've lived like this for three years?" Zheng Qi's throat tightened, he couldn't imagine what kind of life he had spent in these three years, the suffocating loneliness, he could only live by absorbing the memories of the past.

"Actually, it's good to get used to it. I thought I would keep doing this until the day my soul disappeared."

Zheng Qi was so distressed, he said: "Who killed you? Was it caught by the government?"

When mentioning the murderer, a strong anger flashed in Chan Ling's eyes: "I don't know. Here, I don't know anything."

Then he smiled again: "Forget it, I'll wait for a day to meet you, what are you talking about these unhappy people?"

Zheng Qi said: "That's right, you have no one to accompany you during the day, you should be bored and panic."

Cicada Ling said: "It's okay to say that it's boring, don't these days come like this. It's just that I have thoughts now, and I always hope that the day will pass quickly, so..."

Cicada Ling is obviously not good at saying these boudoir love words, her face blushed again, and under the flickering candlelight, she was even more beautiful like a peach or plum.

Zheng Qi deliberately asked: "The day is over, what are you doing?"

Chanling ignored him, and picked up the topic: "If you are really afraid that I will be bored, next time, bring me two new books, so I can read them to pass the time."

Zheng Qi wondered: "How can I bring the books outside into my dream?"

Cicada Ling explained: "Actually, dreams are just the form of human consciousness. Sometimes the reality of dreams is often a thin line. You just need to think about those books, remember them well, and put them next to your pillow, and you can bring them into your dreams."

Zheng Qi was amazed: "Then what if I want to bring some big things, such as Gusu City?"

Hearing this, Chanling couldn't laugh or cry: "For Gusu, you can only restore the scene in your dream, and you can't completely move it into the dream. Otherwise, the Gusu city outside will disappear. Speaking of it, I haven't seen it for three years. Gusu City is gone, I don’t know if there are any changes.”

"The things in the dream may be taken out?"

"It stands to reason that it is possible."

Zheng Qi picked up the paper that Chan Ling had just written on, and said with a smirk: "You must have been expressing affection with a pen just now, secretly writing something about me. Or I'll take this paper out and try."

Chanling reached out to snatch it: "Don't make trouble, this is a family letter I wrote to my parents."

"Huh?..." I'm ashamed...

Chanling shook her head: "I have been away for three years, I don't know what happened to my parents and elder brother. My parents must be much older. It's a pity that they can't receive this book."

Zheng Qi hugged him, gently stroked his back, and said softly: "Don't think so much, each person has his own destiny, and your elder brother will definitely take good care of your parents."

Chanling nodded, leaned on Zheng Qi's shoulder, and said nothing more.
