Chapter 73073 How did I die?
Little Lotus was right. This world wouldn't last forever. The appearance of illusions always carries with it various intentions. But there was nothing I could do about it. I truly loved this world.
I got up very early on Saturday, washed up and walked out of the room, and saw my mother coming out of the room as well.
"It's so early, don't you want to sleep a little longer?" asked the mother, rubbing her eyes. She walked towards the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
I said, "I can't sleep." Seeing her open the refrigerator, I blurted out, "Mom, let's go out for breakfast. I want to eat shengjian and soy milk!"
The mother paused holding the eggs. "That's fine. It seems like we haven't gone out for breakfast in ages."
"Um."
After my mother changed her clothes, we headed out. There's a long-established breakfast shop downstairs in our neighborhood, and the fact that it's been around for so long proves it has a good reputation.
Maybe it was the weekend, or maybe we woke up early, so when we got there, there weren't many people inside, and there was an empty table. My mother and I immediately occupied this empty table.
I ordered two shengjian (a type of fried dumpling) and two cups of soy milk, one salty and one sweet. It had been ages since I'd tasted anything like this, and I felt a mixture of emotions. Looking at my mother's face, I didn't know what to say.
"Mom, will you leave me?" I couldn't help but ask.
My mother was confused. “I didn’t go on a tour group.”
I suddenly remembered that the aunt downstairs seemed to have invited my mother to go on a group trip together.
She thought that was what I was asking.
I didn't elaborate further; just asking this question was already exhausting. If you ask me to explain further, I'm sorry, I really can't. It's true that you need to do things with a single push, or else you'll just sag and then run out of steam.
"We'll go together after you finish the college entrance examination." The mother smiled, as if she was already anticipating the trip after the college entrance examination.
"What if I don't do well in the exam?" I asked her.
She smiled, "Then you are also my baby. I gave birth to you, but I didn't give you any instructions on how to do something, or to what extent. Although I gave you life, it is ultimately your own life. Your own life, and you are the one who decides it."
Me: "But if I can't get into college, I won't have a degree, I won't be able to find a good job, I won't have money, and I'll end up relying on my parents at home."
Just thinking about it makes me feel like the sky is falling.
Unexpectedly, my mother started laughing, a smile that was quite noticeable in the small breakfast shop. The diners around us gave us strange looks. My mother's smile faded, but tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
"Ayu, I can only say that even if you get into university, there are still different levels of universities. Finding a good job, but what kind of job is considered a good job? If you want an easy job, the salary is bound to be low. If you want a high salary, the job is bound to be difficult. However, regardless of the salary, we are all still cattle and horses. The only difference is the level of cattle and horses."
I:……
That’s it, cattle and horses are also divided into different levels.
However, my mother's words have relieved a lot of the depression in my heart. My mother's mentality is even more open-minded than mine. If one day I...
My breathing suddenly stopped.
Why did I think of this?
If one day I...what's next?
I don't know how I died, and this memory has never reappeared. It's actually very strange. If people can be reincarnated and carry their memories with them, why would they forget how they died?
Why did I forget?
…
I wanted to know the answer more than ever before.
But I just couldn't remember it, even if I pulled my scalp with both hands, I still couldn't remember it.
When Little Lotus saw how miserable I was, she pulled my hand away with a gloomy face and then hugged me. It was more like she was imprisoning me to prevent me from hurting myself than hugging me.
"I can't remember...how I died."
I wanted to cry, but I couldn't make any sound, so I could only open my mouth silently.
I used to think I didn't care about death anymore. Since I'd traveled through time, there was nothing I could do. I even thought I was smug about having a new life. Even though I later died and was reincarnated as a carp.
But all this is based on the premise that I have not entered this illusion.
I saw my mother again...
"Mother……"
"Mother……"
Later, Xiao Lianhua couldn't bear it anymore and knocked me unconscious with a knife.
When I woke up, it was already dark. I opened my eyes and looked at the dark room. The moonlight poured in from the window, leaving a silvery white.
"Are you awake?"
It was Little Lotus's voice.
"Um."
"Your mother came just now and left after seeing you fall asleep." He paused and put his hand on my forehead. "I wiped your tears for you. She didn't see it."
"……Thanks."
Later, Xiao Lianhua turned on the light. The sudden bright light made my eyes tear up, but fortunately I got used to it quickly.
"Do you still want to cry?"
I shook my head.
That was my out-of-control emotions. Now that I think about it, it was a bit childish...
"Ayu," Little Lotus called softly. He leaned over and put their foreheads together. "We will find the truth."
…
The weekend passed in this mood, but of course, there was still no clue. Little Lotus would still visit late at night, and the sausages in my drawer were once again gone.
On Monday, the school held a farewell ceremony to commemorate the deceased Class 2 students. Regarding the Class 2 car accident, the online news report simply stated, "Class 1 from X Middle School was involved in a car accident during a picnic; no one survived." As for why the accident happened, why only one class went on the picnic... none of these questions were explained. Even the school had been quiet for the past few days; normally, by this time, Class 2's parents and reporters would have been staking out the school grounds.
The car accident involving Class 2 was truly bizarre, but for some reason the people around them didn't seem to notice anything unusual.
So I wonder if the theme of this illusion has something to do with Class 2.
Although I had this guess, I couldn't connect the two things. I was in Class 3, and I had no connection with Class 2, not even any familiar classmates in Class 2.
Starting this week, the first and second year high school students also started attending school. It was a huge crowd. First, the flag was raised and the national anthem was played, followed by a farewell ceremony. The new principal spoke on stage; the previous principal had been dismissed. I don't know the details of what happened, and I can't remember what he looked like. He spoke for about an hour, then everyone observed a moment of silence.
On the way back to the classroom, Wu You whispered to me, "Today is the seventh day."
The seventh day.
It is said that after a person dies, he will return home on the seventh day, and his family will hold a mourning ceremony to let him bid farewell to the world in peace and be reincarnated.
Today marks the seventh day after the death of the Class 2 students. I don't think the school chose this date on purpose, though. Last week was packed with things, like the Class 2 funeral, the former principal's investigation, and all sorts of other things that needed to be addressed. So the farewell party kept dragging on until today, which just happened to be the seventh day.
But I don’t know if it was because of Wu You’s words, but I always felt uneasy.
After class, I whispered to Little Lotus, "Have you heard about the car accident in Class 2?"
In my eyes, the little lotus has great magical powers.
But this time I was disappointed. Little Lotus just looked at me and shook her head.
An idea suddenly occurred to me.
I want to investigate the truth behind the car accident involving my classmates in Class 2.
This may sound a bit unbelievable, but I really don't have any clues right now, so I must grasp this clue in front of me.
I love this world, and sometimes I really want to immerse myself in it all the time.
But I know that this world is just an illusion.
As long as it is an illusion, it will be shattered one day.
