A dream
"This...what does this mean..." In Jiang Yunshu's room, the woman held the mobile phone, looking at the call page after hanging up, her heart chilled a little.
Why did you hang up without saying anything?
Are the ancestral lands...going to give up on Jiang Yunshu?
The woman stared blankly at the girl on the bed. Doesn’t she care about life or death...?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, the woman shuddered, put down her phone, hurriedly left the room, and ran downstairs to the fourth floor.
"No explanation?"
The man was silent for a while and then asked.
"Not a single word." The woman sat on the sofa next to him and asked with a headache, "So what should we do now? I told you not to bring her here... Now it's okay, they can ignore her, but if anything really happens to her here, the ancestral land will definitely punish us."
"What a disaster! No one wants her." The woman said weakly.
The man remained silent and took the wine glass again.
"Drink, drink, drink. Why don't you just drink yourself to death?" The woman glanced at him and cursed in annoyance, but did not try to stop him.
The room seemed to be shrouded in oppressive dark clouds.
…………
Jiang Yunshu was drowsy and half asleep when suddenly there was light in front of him.
As the bright sunshine fell, a blurry figure in white walked out from the deepest part of the bright white.
In an instant, the scene around her changed. In the hazy light, majestic and complex ancient buildings rose from the ground and stretched into the distance under the sunlight.
"Your Highness Jing Yuan, Your Highness Jing Yuan..."
"Little Yuan?"
"Hey, little kite!"
"Jiang Jingyuan? You've been waiting for a long time. I'll take you back now." The blurry figure in white, whose face could not be seen clearly, grabbed her sleeve and led her in one direction.
Jiang Yunshu stared at him blankly, opened his mouth, and slowly said, "Who... are you?"
"Huh?" The young man in white was stunned, his eyes widening on his blurry face. He turned back to look at her in shock, "You, you, tell me... wait, no, ask me, ask me..."
"I've taken care of you for so many years, and you actually ask me who I am??!"
He raised his hand to cover his heart, took a step back hurt, looked at her in disbelief, tears glistening in his dark eyes.
Jiang Yunshu spoke with difficulty: "You say, I will remember you."
"I'm your brother! I'm Jiang Jingjian!!" The young man in white suddenly rushed over, carrying a faint fragrance, hugged her tightly, and screamed, "Jiang Jingyuan, are you a fool?!"
You are the fool... Jiang Yunshu was almost suffocated by him, so he raised his hand and patted his back, signaling him to let go.
Jiang Jingjian loosened his hand, glanced at her, and the next moment he hugged her with tears in his eyes, "It's okay, Jiang Jingyuan, it doesn't matter even if you are a fool, you have to follow me all the time, I will always take care of you!"
Jiang Yunshu: “…”
If you want to think so, I can't help it.
Jiang Yunshu looked ahead. She didn't know if it was because the bright white sunlight was too dazzling, but the buildings were blurry and hazy, making it difficult for her to see the specific details.
Jiang Jingjian hugged her, squinting his eyes and rubbing his face against her head, making a strange snoring sound, and said, "Jiang Jingyuan, Jiang Jingyuan, you are so silly, you must follow me forever, understand?"
Jiang Yunshu didn't respond.
Jiang Yunshu felt as if he was going to bite his head off in the next second.
"Jiang Jingyuan, Jiang Jingyuan..." The young man in white tilted his head and rubbed her head again, calling her, "Do you know, Jiang Jingyuan?"
Jiang Yunshu had a stern face and said nothing.
"Jiang Jingyuan..."
"Miss Yunshu, Miss Yunshu?"
A hand waved in front of her eyes. Jiang Yunshu blinked and realized that she had opened her eyes and was awake.
Jiang Yunshu supported himself on the bed and sat up. He looked around at the figures leaving the room one after another, and said "hmm" to the person waiting nearby.
The man breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't become a fool.
After receiving a response, he nodded to Jiang Yunshu and left with the others.
"Yunshu, then you rest for a while. Mom is leaving first." The adoptive mother smiled at her tiredly, turned and left.
The door was closed.
Jiang Yunshu then realized that he was sweating and blinked his eyes.
Is it a dream?
She just... seemed to have had a dream.
"Jiang Jingyuan, Jiang Jingjian..." Jiang Yunshu's heart suddenly jumped when she recalled these two names. She jumped off the bed and staggered towards the table.
Jiang Yunshu found a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down the two names. Only then did he relax.
There was no surprise, she just knew which words they were.
A slight pain in her heart followed, and her limbs instantly became cold and weak.
Jiang Yunshu controlled his breathing and held onto the table, enduring the slight pain. He slowly moved his weak limbs to a chair and sat down.
On the paper, the ink of the hastily written messy handwriting has not yet dried.
Jiang Yunshu stared at the two names in a daze.
…………
After resting for two months, Jiang Yunshu recovered from his illness, but he still felt weak and frail, often sleepy, and even when he woke up, he looked sick and listless.
It seemed that since the day she woke up, her complexion had become increasingly pale, with a hint of sadness between her eyebrows...
The person who finally started talking more and going out more often has returned to her old ways of answering only one sentence out of ten others. She no longer likes to go out and spends all day buried in her room reading.
——The man who used to linger outside her door sighing all day long no longer came.
She no longer had to go downstairs to eat, and no one cared about her anymore. They just had to send food in and make sure she was alive.
In the room.
The afternoon sun shines into the room, creating a scorching heat.
Jiang Yunshu held the book in his hands, his whole body hidden in the light gray shadow, his tilted head leaning against the cold wall.
His eyes fell on the open pages of the book, but he couldn't read a single word. Even if he forced himself to read a line or two, his confused mind couldn't understand the meaning.
Her eyes were blank, sometimes she was in a daze and thought about nothing, and sometimes she recalled the dream she had when she was near death.
There was no analysis, no thinking, the images just played over and over again in her mind exactly as they were.
Jiang Yunshu suddenly felt very weak.
So weak and useless.
I can only live with a fantasy dream in my heart all day long.
Is that dream nice and warm?
No.
A few words and the bright sunshine became the only refuge for the soul.
It turns out that as long as she walks out, as long as she steps into this world, she will be chopped into pieces in an instant by the strong wind like a knife... Obviously nothing has happened, right?
It turns out that she is so fragile.
…………
One day, Jiang Yunshu suddenly wanted to cheer up.
She knew that she would not live long, but she suddenly became anxious and thought that she could not waste her time like this. Since she was so weak, she had to become stronger.
Become stronger, there will always be some strange things that can solve that problem, even if you can't change your lifespan, you can still live happily.
She thought about things she had never thought about before.
She was thinking about the future, wanting it to be free from pain, and then she thought about the past—in fact, by comparison, the past was also beautiful, right? Didn't the past also meet the conditions for happiness?
At this moment, she understood.
Beauty and happiness are linked to one's own value and weight.
Jiang Yunshu's mind was working and thinking all day long, unconsciously, and many times she almost forgot that she was thinking.
Her mood had changed, and she was too worried to show any expression on her face. Outwardly, she looked no different from before.
Jiang Yunshu walked out of the room, wanting to take a breath and find a way out -
She was unable to practice, and was too weak to exercise her body skills. She didn't even dare to use that thing - her only support.
What should she do?
In fact, sometimes she would tell herself that she didn't need to cling to these things. She could look further out to see what people there were doing, learn from them, and then live a simple life.
But every time this happened, she would forcefully suppress the thought almost the second it came to her mind. She stood there with a chill all over her body, her heart filled with fear.
She was like a person caught in a whirlpool, confused by the illusions of the world and unable to get out.
Jiang Yunshu wandered around the house like a ghost.
While walking, I was afraid of my actions every minute and every second. I wanted to rest, but I was afraid that this second of rest would affect the future trend.
I couldn't sleep all night, thinking anxiously about how I would survive in the outside world if I left the Jiang family one day...
In the gray and cloudy sky.
Jiang Yunshu walked out of the house door, and they allowed her to go out as long as she didn't go far.
"3103" is located in a remote and quiet area. When you go out, you can only see sparsely distributed buildings and rarely see strangers.
Jiang Yunshu walked quietly on the road paved with cobblestones and stone slabs, and the surroundings were also very quiet.
She suddenly felt a little relieved and thought that when she could finally relax, she would go to a quiet place far away from the hustle and bustle.
"rustle……"
The well-groomed grass trembled slightly, and faint calls came from it one after another.
Jiang Yunshu paused as a black shadow quickly passed by her toes and landed on a small path not far ahead.
Gray with brownish hues and black markings, it was a cat.
It looked at Jiang Yunshu behind it, and at the scene behind it. Its ears moved alertly from time to time, and it turned its head and trotted on the stone path.
Jiang Yunshu also continued forward along the stone path, his dazed eyes sometimes falling on the wild cat in front of him, and sometimes falling on the sky and the ground.
She began to recall the dream she had when she was near death.
Her heart trembled as she couldn't help but wonder, "If I were in a different world, in a different environment, would I... be happy?"
She had never dared to think about this question. Once she thought about it, she was afraid to open her eyes and look at the world. But in fact, she already had the answer in her heart -
No.
People like her will never be happy anywhere.
Erasing her memories and instincts, breaking them down and rebuilding them...it was no longer her.
Oh God, where will you send me in the end?
"rustle!"
The grass and trees shook suddenly.
When Jiang Yunshu lowered his gaze, the cat that had been walking and stopping in front of him had disappeared.
She looked around and found the surrounding scenery somewhat unfamiliar. It seemed that she had unknowingly walked out of the designated area of activity.
Jiang Yunshu turned around and walked back without any regrets.
It is a waste to become obsessed after relaxing.
The door of the house opens and closes.
Jiang Yunshu walked straight towards the stairs.
Not far away, her adoptive mother smiled politely and suddenly called out to her, "Yun Shu, come down and have dinner with everyone tonight."
Jiang Yunshu paused and said "hmm".
A piece of trash that no one wants has fallen into this situation, and yet he still has a cold face for everyone to see... The woman's eyes flashed with annoyance, but her smile remained unchanged.
Jiang Yunshu walked up the stairs.
From the back, a woman's gentle voice, as if soaked in honey, came from afar.
"Yun Shu, don't be sad."
