Li Shiming shook his head. "How can there be so many people from the future? You're overthinking it."
Ling Ju was puzzled. "What's with this photo? It's from after 2000."
Li Shiming sat down and rubbed his brow. "This is also my problem. This is a puzzle. I saw this photo in a book I own in 1975. I found that book in the trash can in the kitchen of a state-owned restaurant in Liaoning Province."
"this?"
Ling Ju really didn't know what to say. She had always thought that her coming here was a coincidence, but now it seemed that perhaps someone had predicted everything about her, and there might even be more than one person from the future here.
If that's the case, then she's not the only one who's exchanged bodies and souls.
She immediately remembered what Yin Bolan had said to her at the entrance of the textile factory last time.
Same body, different soul. Now she didn't know whether Yin Bolan was talking about her or Zhen Zhen.
Ling Ju spread his hands, "I don't know what to do now, and why are you telling me all this?"
Li Shiming sat up straight and spoke slowly, "I want to tell you that all this is not a coincidence, but I can't see deeper into it. Moreover, because I intervened in your affairs, I also suffered some retribution..."
Ling Ju looked at Li Shiming, "Could it be about Li Qiang?"
Li Shiming nodded, then lowered his voice and asked, "Can you see the gray thing he's carrying behind him?"
Ling Ju looked into Li Shiming's eyes and said, "Yes."
Li Shiming smiled helplessly, "That's my karma. If you hadn't shown up, my karma wouldn't have been resolved. Now that you've appeared, my opportunity has arrived, and I need your help."
Ling Ju couldn't make up her mind now. She only half understood what Li Shiming said. She felt that it was getting a bit metaphysical, which was not her strong point. Besides, she didn't believe in ghosts or gods at all.
She spoke carefully, "How do you want me to help you?"
"Did you notice that when you approached Li Qiang, the ball behind him got smaller? And after I took you away, the ball got bigger again?"
Ling Ju confirmed that she did notice it.
Li Shiming continued, "That gray mass has been around since Li Qiang was a child, but it never affected him mentally or physically. I traveled and visited people looking for a solution, but I could never find one. I went to the hospital for a formal checkup, but nothing was found. Li Qiang's condition worsened after he became an adult, especially when he was preparing for the college entrance exam. He didn't go crazy because he didn't get into Peking University, but because of the gray mass behind him. And his mother didn't know what was going on at the time..."
Ling Ju spoke frankly, "This really touches upon my blind spot in knowledge, but why are you so sure it's that gray thing..."
Li Shiming smiled bitterly, "What else?"
Ling Ju felt that he had asked a very stupid question.
But if she could help Li Qiang, she would do her best.
After all, it was Li Shiming who saved the 'Ling Ju' of this world.
But she still had a question, "Why can you absorb my ability?"
Li Shiming looked at her and shook his head, "I can't, I'm just confirming whether you are the person I'm looking for."
"Then do you have any abilities?"
Li Shiming shook his head, but stretched out his right hand and pulled up his clothes. Ling Ju could see a lotus on his arm near his elbow, a golden lotus, about three centimeters in size.
Ling Ju looked up, eyes full of surprise, "What is this?"
Li Shiming shook his head. "One day it suddenly happened. I don't know why, but from then on, I could see things that others couldn't. That's why I became a doctor."
She now knew that Li Shiming's identity was much more secretive than hers; he was the mystery.
She didn't choose to ask what the cause and effect of Li Shiming was, or why Li Qiang had a gray thing on his back.
Judging from the current situation, if we continue asking, only more and more problems will arise.
It would be better to solve the problem at hand first.
"How can I help you?"
Li Shiming thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any clues for now, but if you have time, you can come to my house. I want to observe Li Qiang's reactions and see if there's any pattern. As for the rest, we'll just take it one step at a time."
Ling Ju nodded.
Li Shiming's expression turned bad after he mentioned Li Qiang.
She could actually understand that Li Qiang, as the only son of Li Shiming and Zhang Jun, had become what he is now due to some unknown reasons. If she were in his place, she couldn't even imagine what she would become.
Although Li Qiang is mentally ill now, he looks like a handsome young man. If it weren't for this mess of illness, he might have been admitted to university and had a good job and a happy family.
After the two finished talking, they went downstairs together.
It can be said that the people downstairs were all distracted and had no chance to chat. What happened in the afternoon was really too unexpected and contained too much information.
Seeing Ling Ju coming downstairs, Chen Chun and Tian Mei both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom, Aunt Zhang, it's nothing. Uncle Li just took my pulse to see if there was anything wrong with my health. Everything is fine."
Ling Ju comforted.
Zhang Junmei hurried to Li Shiming's side. She really couldn't bear it anymore. What happened to Li Shiming?
Li Shiming put his arm around her shoulders and patted her gently, "I know you must have a lot of questions now, wait for me to answer them slowly."
Xiao Yuanyuan might be hungry, and her loud cry was heard in the room.
In the end, a few people had to take Yuanyuan home first.
After saying goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Li Zhang, he returned to the Song family.
Ling Ju went back to her room to feed the baby first. After coaxing Xiao Yuanyuan to sleep, she sat aside and relived what happened in the afternoon.
Still confused.
No matter what happens, she believes it can be resolved smoothly.
As long as you hope for the best, everything will work out.
Back in the courtyard at night, Ling Ju lay in bed, unable to fall asleep. She counted hundreds of sheep but to no avail. Finally, she climbed out the back window to check on the chickens.
There was no one at home today and no eggs were picked up. She went over and found three eggs next to the chicken coop. After picking them up, she walked towards the kitchen.
The last time Yan Jintang came, he brought ten eggs to Yan Jintang. Including these three, there are only six eggs left.
Looking at the six eggs in the basket, she fell into deep thought.
Back then, Wang Yangming studied things to gain knowledge by studying bamboo. So, can she study eggs?
What inspiration might eggs give her?
