Chapter 2 The Woman in the Dream
"Um."
Shi Yu didn't waste any words and looked up at Chang Shiyin, "Young man, you haven't been sleeping well recently, have you? Are you having nightmares?"
When Chang Shiyin heard his father calling him "Master Chef", he was already very dissatisfied. As a person born under the national flag, he didn't believe in these things at all.
But after hearing Shi Yu's words, Chang Shiyin was still stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "How do you know..."
"Not only do I know you had a nightmare, I also know that the person in your dream is getting closer and closer to you."
Shi Yu's tone was very calm, yet with a bit of the liveliness that was typical of a little girl.
But what he said made Chang Shiyin break out in a cold sweat.
Before, he thought that his father was too talkative and told others about his family's affairs, but when he thought of that nightmare... Although he still didn't believe it in his heart, Chang Shiyin sat down.
"What do you mean by that? I'm warning you, my dad believes that stuff, but I don't. Stop using ambiguous stuff to fool people."
"Oh, if you don't believe me, then why don't you leave?" Shi Yu blinked and looked at Chang Shiyin with a beautiful smile, "The door is over there, take care."
Chang Shiyin's face turned red and he couldn't speak for a long time.
The old man picked up the chopsticks and hit him on the head, "I'm warning you, this is a really skilled chef! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll skin you alive!"
Chang Shiyin was still not convinced, but he really didn't want to leave.
That nightmare was really weird.
But Shi Yu was just joking. For the sake of Da Baozi, she would not make things difficult for the father and son.
A drop of water should be repaid with a spring, not to mention that it was a big bun, which is much more than a drop of water!
"Alright, alright, don't be angry, old man." Shi Yu smiled and pulled him, then looked at Chang Shiyin again, "Tell me about your nightmare."
As if thinking of something incredible, Chang Shiyin shuddered in the middle of summer. "Come to think of it, it's been almost four months. One night, I suddenly had a dream."
"There was a woman in my dream."
After just a few words, Chang Shiyin drank water several times. Shi Yu just watched, neither interrupting nor urging him, just waiting for him to speak.
"At first, I could only see a shadow of the woman standing far away under the streetlight outside the community. I couldn't even see her face clearly, so I didn't take it seriously."
"After I had this dream for the first time, I didn't dream about it again for a long time. But two months ago, that woman appeared again. The first time she appeared on the main road, but the second time she appeared in the neighborhood where I live..."
Not to mention whether Chang Shiyin was scared or not, even the old man's face became serious.
Dreaming is not uncommon, but if it can scare a young and energetic man into breaking out in a cold sweat, it’s obvious that it’s not a good dream.
"Then there was the third time, a month and a half ago. That woman was already at the door of my villa. I couldn't see her face clearly, but I knew she was looking at me. She was standing at my door, her eyes fixed on me!"
"Later, I had these dreams more and more frequently, almost once a week. The most recent time, that woman appeared at the door of my room. I could feel it... One more time, one more time, she will appear in front of me, and she will definitely kill me!"
Shi Yu was silent for a moment, tapping his fingers on the table. "Have you heard of the Five Gods?"
"Who?" Chang Shiyin, clearly still struggling to recover from the shock, looked bewildered. "Those people from Emperor Huaguang?"
The old man knocked down his chopsticks again. "That's the Five Manifestations of Gods, the orthodox Taoism! It's bullshit, it doesn't understand anything!"
Shi Yu didn't take it seriously. If Chang Shiyin had taken the trouble to understand these things, he wouldn't have ignored his father's words. "The Five-Directional Spirit is mentioned in both 'Zi Bu Yu' and 'Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio'. It is described as an evil spirit that is lustful and greedy for money and brings disaster to the world."
"And harming people through dreams is one of the Five-Directional God's abilities."
"Of course, after the founding of the country, spirits are not allowed to appear. The real Five-Power God has long been gone, but with some special means, it is not impossible to get close to it."
Of course, there are more documents recording the Five Gods than just these two. They are also recorded in documents such as "Inscription of Master Dawei Xuyou" and "Liuqing Ri Zha", but more people know about the above two.
Chang Shiyin was stunned when he heard this. "But, but I have never come into contact with this thing. If it really is this god, why did it come to me?"
"You don't have one, so what about your wife? What about your father-in-law?"
Shi Yu still had a smiling face. Without waiting for Chang Shiyin to speak, he dipped his chopsticks in water and began to draw on the table. As he drew, he muttered, "Wutong Shen, he can be considered a God of Wealth, after all."
After he finished speaking, the statue was placed in front of Chang Shiyin. Shi Yu placed his hands on the table, supported his chin and smiled at Chang Shiyin, "Look familiar, right?"
Chang Shiyin stood up suddenly.
The force was so strong that he almost knocked over the chair behind him. He pointed at the painting on the table, his whole body shaking, "This... is this the Five-Directional God?"
He hadn't just seen it before, he was extremely familiar with it!
On his wife’s back, there is a full-back tattoo of the Five Gods!
Chang Shiyin's lips turned pale. "But I didn't do anything. Why would Qingqing hurt me? We are husband and wife!"
"Husband and wife? Why don't you think about it carefully? You've been married for half a year. How many times have you slept together?"
Shi Yu sneered, "Wutongshen is the god of wealth and lust. Your so-called wife has long been sacrificed to the god. If it weren't for the sacrifice of your flesh and blood, I'm afraid he wouldn't let you touch her even once."
She didn't want to expose other people's shortcomings, but there were always some people in the world who pretended to be blind.
Sure enough, when this matter was mentioned, Chang Shiyin became completely depressed. He didn't want to admit it, but except for their wedding day, he and his wife Qingqing had always slept in separate rooms for various reasons.
"You can't rush this. I'll give you something. Take it back, trace it with your wife's lipstick, and then stick it on your door. Find a way to get a divorce as soon as possible."
Shi Yu walked out of the box and asked the waiter for paper and pen.
Of course, there's only notebook paper and ballpoint pens in this place.
Seeing Shi Yu holding the ballpoint pen like a brush, Chang Shiyin wanted to say something but stopped himself after being glared at by his father.
After drawing a simple evil-repelling talisman, Shi Yu was extremely satisfied and handed it over confidently, "I'm helping you to repay your father for his kindness. Believe it or not, it's all up to you."
After taking a look at the scribbles in his hand, the expression on Chang Shiyin's face was indescribable.
"Is that all?" Chang Shiyin looked at the evil-suppressing talisman with a face full of distrust.
Shi Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Don't give it back to me!"
"Yes! I want it!"
