Because sometimes when you wake up from a dream, it feels too real.
So much so that whenever I have a strange dream, the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is pick up my phone and search Duke Zhou’s Dream Interpretation to see if what I dreamed about last night was good or bad.
.....
After burying the ashes that night, we drank in the air-raid shelter after we returned. A disposable paper cup cost less than three taels. I drank almost three cups and was drunk. The only thing I remembered was the shoes Xiaoxuan helped me take off.
I don’t know how long I slept, but I felt that I was floating lightly on a small road, surrounded by hazy white fog and a bit cold.
I walked forward along this path. As I was walking, a black bird suddenly flew out of nowhere. The bird flapped its wings and landed on my shoulder.
"Congratulations on getting rich. Congratulations on getting rich."
I was delighted and turned to look over my left shoulder.
"Brother Lin!" This is the myna that Gangzi has raised for five years!
Brother Lin flapped his wings and flew up. It flew very low. I reached out to catch it and ran after it.
After running for a few minutes, Brother Lin disappeared in the sky. Looking forward, I saw Gangzi wearing a clean white suit with his big gold chain hanging around his neck. He was looking at me with a smile, and Brother Lin was already there.
fell on his shoulders.
Gangzi said: "Brother Lin came to see me. Yunfeng, don't blame yourself. Even if you go to feed it, it won't eat. Old Geng and Old Song have left. I stayed one more day just to see you one last time. From now on
From now on, you won’t dream about me again.”
"We died unexpectedly. We were originally wandering ghosts, and we couldn't get a road guide. Without a road guide, we can't pass through the gate of hell. Because there are eminent monks and masters who help us to be saved. Now it's better, we have it," Gangzi raised his hand.
I saw a red wooden sign in his hand. There were some incomprehensible words written on the sign. There was also a red seal on the sign. Gangzi said that this was the road guide sign. With this thing, he could
Pass through the gates of hell.
"Yunfeng, you still have time, please give it to me."
I said yes, Brother Gangzi, I will see you off. After saying that, I ran over and walked side by side with him.
Gangzi talked to me a lot along the way, and finally he took me to a small gate.
The small door in front of me is made of wood and painted with red paint. The color of the paint is as bright as blood. This door is very short, less than 1.7 meters high.
"Okay Yunfeng, we'll send it here. You can't follow this door." Brother Gangzi told me that after entering the door, you have to climb the Wangxiang Terrace, and after passing the Wangxiang Terrace, you have to go up to the Jinyin Bridge and get off.
To get to the bridge, you need to walk through Egouling Mountain to climb Jinji Mountain, then go to the Support Pavilion to rest and take a bath. After taking a bath, go to Naihe Bridge to drink soup. After drinking the soup, go to Si Guo Ya to accept the assignment, and finally jump off and reincarnate.
Gangzi said sheepishly: "I used to bully many honest people in society, and I have karma. When I get to Jinji Mountain, pheasants will come and peck me. Yunfeng, when you go back, dig a hole in front of my grave, and then spread the seeds in the hole."
A handful of yellow millet, so that I can receive millet. If there are pheasants coming to peck at me when I pass Jinji Mountain, I will sprinkle some millet for the chickens to eat, so that they will not pester me."
"Oh, by the way, one last thing."
"She's my sister. If you can, take care of her. She's having a hard time. I will repay you my brother's love in my next life."
"I'm leaving bro."
Brother Gangzi swiped the wooden sign in his hand just like he entered the community and swiped the access card. Then the small door slowly opened. He waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "Brother Sayunala."
Then he disappeared through the door.
"Brother Gangzi!"
"Brother Gangzi!"
I sat up suddenly, sweating profusely, as if someone had been fished out of the water, and I couldn't help but gasp for air.
Xiaoxuan grabbed my hand with a nervous look on her face, touched my forehead and said distressedly: "You had a fever last night, and you kept talking in your sleep, talking about yellow millet and other nonsense. Fortunately, you should have a fever."
Return."
I wiped my sweat and looked at my phone. It was already 7:15 in the morning...
I dreamed that Brother Gangzi walked into the small door dressed in white. After I woke up, I would be lying if I said I wasn't afraid. When I think back to this strange dream, I still have lingering fears.
Last night I was defeated early, and the remaining few of them drank until dawn. When I went to ask sister-in-law Xiaoxia for millet, brother Zhiyuan was still sleeping. From the looks of it, I guess he would sleep until the afternoon.
I wrapped the millet in a plastic bag and went directly to the slope where the ashes were buried last night.
