"Relax...relax...you are absolutely safe here. No one can hurt you. Now you can go wherever you want to go according to your own wishes."
"..."
The time in the room seemed to have stopped. Ju Miao was lying on the sofa, her shoulders naturally leaning on the back of the sofa. Under the suggestion of the hypnosis technique used by the psychiatrist, Ju Miao felt that she was in absolute safety at this moment, and she felt that she was in absolute safety at this moment.
Ju Miao, who has been insecure since childhood, has been obviously wary of all people or things for a long time. 'Trust' is a kind of luxury in the world for Ju Miao. Maintaining a long-term relationship with a certain person
Going back and forth is simply a kind of mental pain for Ju Miao. Ju Miao showed serious exclusivity and aggression during her time in the welfare home. Although the hospital leaders and psychologists tried hard, they still could not cure this mental health disease.
Fortunately, everyone later discovered that Ju Miao only showed psychological abnormalities when dealing with people, but became very gentle when dealing with small animals. Later, the welfare home brought a big orange cat to Ju Miao.
, that big cat has been accompanying Ju Miao growing up. About when Ju Miao reached the age of going to high school, the orange cat also came to the end of its life. Everyone in the welfare home held a funeral for the orange cat.
Ju Miao also seemed to understand at this funeral that "the journey of life is destined to end from the moment it begins. No matter whether you like this road or not, you must go on it." At this time, Ju Miao can already accept it.
Although he still cannot say that he is at peace with his fate, he can already accept it. From then on, Ju Miao seemed to be a different person. He gradually became interested in study and life, and also yearned for the future. Finally, he integrated into
After joining this big social family, she began to work hard for herself. Then Ju Miao's life also encountered a good turning point. Ju Miao's name was clearly written on the list of student aid and poverty relief by well-known domestic companies. Just like that, Ju Miao's life
There was also a short-term cheating in my life. Although I only got a second-tier score in the college entrance examination, I was admitted to a well-known university. Unconsciously, I was classified as a talent class by society. Afterwards, in my study and life at university,
Although the improvement of his communication skills is still limited, his academic breakthrough has still brought a lot of success to his life. During his graduate school, he has entered a company that has always supported his studies. For Ju Miao personally, this is the company.
It was a win-win situation. Ju Miao originally thought that her dazzling life would begin from now on, but in the past two years, a dream has been bothering her. This dream seemed to be a continuation of a common dream when she was young, but every time
After waking up, no matter how much I try to recall it, I still can't remember what I saw in the dream. If it was just an ordinary dream, then naturally I wouldn't pay attention to it, but this dream clearly has its unusualness, so
This made Ju Miao unable to let go for a long time. In the end, Ju Miao decided to find the answer. First, she returned to the orphanage where she grew up and inquired about her childhood events from relevant personnel, including the director of the orphanage. She found that she
The scrap recycling point and even the police uncle who rescued him, but they were still of limited help in revealing the answer. The more obsessed Ju Miao was in finding it, the more hopeless he felt. In the end, Ju Miao came to a mental health hospital here. Although in
In the past, I have been to many mental health hospitals and tried to use hypnosis to help me. However, during each treatment, I would have a lot of nosebleeds, so the staff had to stop the hypnotherapy. According to the doctor,
My body constitution is quite unique. Once I accept hypnosis, the intracranial pressure will increase rapidly, which will lead to nosebleeds. If I am forced to hypnotize, it is likely to damage my brain health. However, this hypnosis treatment did not cause any problems in the past.
I don’t know whether the symptoms of nosebleeds are because the doctor’s medical skills are better or because my brain has become familiar with hypnosis unconsciously. The hypnosis treatment lasted for 20 minutes. When the treatment was over, Ju Miao opened her eyes suddenly.
For a moment, I felt as if I had slept for a long time. The images of many people appeared in the dream one after another, and they were extremely real. However, after waking up, I quickly forgot about them, and only some remaining images remained.
In consciousness, Ju Miao quickly took out the paper and pen she had prepared in advance. She originally planned to write down the name of a certain person or place, even if it was the appearance of a certain person, but none of the above could be realized. In the end, Ju Miao
Meow only drew a sketch full of rocks and weeds. The only reference objects were probably a wooden bridge and a section of ruins.
Psychologist: "Young man, how are you feeling?"
Ju Miao: "It's okay, thank you."
said laughingly.
Psychologist: "You are the quietest person during treatment among the patients I have ever seen."
Ju Miao: "Are other people not quiet during treatment?"
Psychologist: "Yes, some may look happy and depressed, or mutter something in their mouths, or even directly raise their hands to hit someone."
Ju Miao: "Oh my God, what about me?"
Psychologist: "Your expression has not changed during the whole process, your breathing has been steady, and you have not made any words or body movements."
Ju Miao: "That's right..."
A little disappointed, actually Ju Miao hoped that she could say something.
Afterwards, the psychiatrist also extracted the video of the treatment and sent it to Ju Miao, asking him to take it back and review it himself.
Then Ju Miao left the hospital and went outside to eat.
At this time, Ju Miao was in a second-tier city. It was raining outside. Ju Miao was walking in the rain with an umbrella. Next to her were passers-by who forgot to bring their umbrellas and ran in a hurry. There were also couples looking for romance in the rain. Ju Miao was... Walking alone on the streets of this strange city, he was really hungry. The aroma of noodle soup wafting from an ancient noodle restaurant on the street attracted Ju Miao, so he walked in at a leisurely pace. Inside the restaurant, Gufang Soup Noodle House has no single table and almost no dedicated waiters. There are rows of high chairs in some narrow aisles. The diners sit on the high chairs and face the kitchen directly because It has a glass wall, so diners can clearly see the chef's cooking process and the ingredients used. Under the glass wall is a stone countertop. One end of the countertop is directly connected to the store door, and the other end directly extends to the employee lounge. On the wall, there is a door near the employee lounge. It is the passage door between the kitchen and the dining room, because there is a gap of about 30 cm between the lower edge of the glass wall and the countertop, which can be used to pass dishes. And diners We sit casually at the selected seats to dine, which creates a feeling of everyone dining at the same table. Even if the two people next to each other have never met before, they can also take the opportunity to chat. Of course, if you like, you can also You can chat with the chef, which is also part of the food culture of this soup noodle restaurant.
Ju Miao entered the store and was about to order, but she didn't want to be noticed by two female diners. The two female diners looked at Ju Miao without any worries, and then a satisfied smile appeared on their faces. You ask me why? It's naturally because of Ju Miao's unusual face and figure. The capable man's short hair matches a deceptive face. Under the slanting eyebrows are clear black and white eyes, which are as gentle as nephrite. A tall nose bridge, a somewhat delicate mouth shape, thin lips and a very clean beard make it obvious at first glance that he is a young man who pays great attention to appearance. He wears a white shirt, black trousers and brown leather shoes, which are common among urban men. The work clothes looked so decent on the young man in front of me. A female diner boldly waved to sit here, and Ju Miao smiled politely in return, then walked to the seat next to the woman and sat down. , then Ju Miao ordered a beef rib noodle soup and two secret salty and sweet duck eggs as well as the accompanying side dishes of green bamboo shoots, bamboo plums, and then hung the briefcase on the shelf under the countertop. The female diner on the side saw that he had already After ordering, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
Female diner: “Is the handsome guy from here?”
Ju Miao: "No."
Female diner: “So where are you from?”
Ju Miao: "A far away city."
Female diner: “What are you doing here?”
Ju Miao: "For some boring things."
Female diner: "Huh? Came from far away for some boring thing?"
Ju Miao: "Yes, it's what you think."
Female diner: "My friends and I also come here to play. If the time is convenient, would you like to join us?"
Ju Miao: "Thank you for the invitation, but... I have used up all my vacation time, and I have to rush back tomorrow."
Female diner: "Huh? Such an unfortunate coincidence."
Ju Miao: "Yeah, I'm sorry, if I have the chance, I would also like to travel with a cute girl like you."
Female diner: “Then add a WeChat friend.”
Ju Miao: "Okay."
As they spoke, the two of them took out their mobile phones and completed the registration of each other in the WeChat address book. Afterwards, the two chatted during the meal. This girl was somewhat familiar. Although it was the first time she met Ju Miao,
There was no feeling of strangeness at all, and the topics the two of them talked about quickly expanded, from their initial desire to travel to later life gossip, and in the end they even talked about gender topics without hesitation, and now Ju Miao and
Anyone can have regular and friendly exchanges, and they can still adapt to some intersections in their life circles. This is the true portrayal of the legendary independent living person who maintains minimal social relationships.
When Ju Miao was about to leave, the woman also suggested taking a photo together. Ju Miao came to her side with a smile, and her companion helped take a photo of the two of them.
On the way Ju Miao took a taxi back to the hotel, a female friend who worked with her called Ju Miao to ask about the progress of the matter.
Female friend: "Hey, how's it going?"
Ju Miao: "Hey, it didn't go well."
He replied with a sigh.
Female friend: “What’s wrong with this?”
Ju Miao: "I have also been to the welfare home and asked relevant people, but there is no usable information."
Female friend: "It's really sad. I can't do anything to help you..."
There was some self-blame in his tone.
Ju Miao: "Don't say that. You have already helped me a lot by calling me and listening to me talk about these boring things."
Female friend: "Hehe, are you alone now?"
Ju Miao: "Of course, why do you ask?"
Female friend: "I felt a little uneasy just now..."
Ju Miao: "That's why you called?"
Female friend: “Yes.”
Ju Miao: "Your senses are quite good. To tell you the truth, I just went to dinner and met two young girls. One of them is pretty good-looking."
Female friend: “Then what?!”
His tone suddenly became unhappy.
Ju Miao: "Added WeChat."
Female friend: “That’s all?”
Ju Miao: "Yes, that's all."
Female friend: "Be careful when you are out there, don't be fooled by beauty, and be careful about cutting your waist!"
Ju Miao: "Don't worry, I'm measured."
Female friend: "Your vacation has two days left, right?"
Ju Miao: "Yes."
Female friend: "When will you come back? I want to pick you up. Are you free?"
Ju Miao: "I plan to go back tomorrow, so let's meet tomorrow night."
Female friend: "It's decided."
Ju Miao: "Don't worry."
Female friend: "Are you sure you are alone tonight?"
Ju Miao: "Of course."
Female friend: "I will video chat with you tonight, remember to pick up!"
Ju Miao: "No."
Female friend: “For your safety.”
Ju Miao: "Wry smile expression."
After that, Ju Miao successfully arrived at the hotel room where she was staying. Ju Miao walked into the room and came to the window to look at the street view outside. Because her room was on the 24th floor, she could still enjoy the night view of the city very well.
Yes, just when Ju Miao was standing in front of the window and looking at the night scene casually, she suddenly seemed to think of something. Before she could forget it, Ju Miao hurriedly came to the laptop, turned on the computer and typed 'Thousands' on the web page.
There are three words "Bird City", but there is no answer for the relevant area in the relevant information given on the web page.
Ju Miao: "No, maybe I will never be able to solve the answer to this dream."
Talking to oneself.
Suddenly, the cell phone rang with an incoming call reminder. Ju Miao picked up the phone and saw that it was the vice president.
Vice President: "Xiao Ju, are you busy?"
An older male voice came from the phone receiver.
Ju Miao: "Good evening, Vice President, I'm not busy right now."
Vice President: "I'm really sorry that I bothered you even though I knew you were on vacation."
Ju Miao: "What the vice president said is serious. Who said you can't accept work guidance from your leader during vacation?"
At this point, I have guessed that I probably have something to talk to about work.
Vice President: "Xiao Ju, you really guessed it right. I have a heartfelt request from you. I wonder if you can help me?"
Ju Miao: "I will definitely complete the tasks assigned by the vice president."
Vice President: "Great, I know Xiaoju is a person who loves work, so I won't go around in circles. I have some information here, which I will send to you via email later. You can find a way to print it out and bind it. Come to me tomorrow.
I sent you the address and visit our neighboring company. I have already said hello to their Vice President Zhang. When you go there, give the information to him and ask him to stamp it, and then you can bring it back to me.
Already."
Ju Miao: "Okay, I promise to complete the task."
Vice President: "Of course, you will go to work as usual tomorrow, as long as you finish this matter."
Ju Miao: "Thank you, Vice President."
Vice President: "Okay, then I won't disturb your rest. I'll leave everything to you tomorrow."
Ju Miao: "Please don't worry, Vice President."
After the call ended, Ju Miao let out a long sigh, and then sent a message to her female friend.
‘I’m really sorry. I have to run errands for the boss tomorrow. I’m not scheduled to go back until the day after tomorrow. The appointment with you has to be rescheduled.’
'sad expression'
Female friends can only accept this setting helplessly.
That night, Ju Miao borrowed a small printer from the hotel, printed out the information given to her by the leader, and confirmed the content of the information. After confirming that it was correct, she bound the document with the borrowed tools.
After that, Ju Miao lay on the hotel bed and watched TV for a while. When the time came to 10 pm, Ju Miao felt a little tired, so she turned off the TV and fell asleep.
There was nothing to say all night. In the next morning, Ju Miao went to work as usual. She got up before 7 o'clock, washed and ate, and carefully packed her hair and beard. Fortunately, she brought a shirt and suit when she went out this time.
pants, otherwise it would be really rude to wear casual clothes to visit customers. Before going out, Ju Miao looked in the full-length mirror again to confirm that her hair style and dress were OK before leaving the hotel. The company she visited went to work at 9 o'clock in the morning, and she
I checked the time on my phone and found that I still had about an hour of spare time. According to the map guide, I took a taxi from here, which would only take 30 minutes at most. So Ju Miao thought it would be safer to buy a tie first, so I took a taxi first.
I took a taxi to a nearby suit shop and bought a black and blue men's tie for more than 200 meters. Then I took a taxi again and went downstairs to the target company. I confirmed again that the time was still very early, so I went to a nearby cafe to sit for a while.
, around 8:40, Ju Miao left the cafe and went to the target company.
At this time, employees were already entering the building one after another under the company's office building. By the way, this is a 30-story office building and one of the company's assets. Ju Miao followed
After the crowd entered the building, because they did not have access cards, they went to the service desk on the first floor. Behind the 4-meter-long service desk stood three front desk ladies. Ju Miao politely stepped forward to say hello.
Ju Miao: "Hello, I am Ju Miao from Chuanghe Chemical. I am here to visit Vice President Zhang of your company. Can you help me contact him?"
Front desk lady: "Okay, Mr. Ju, please wait a moment."
Then the front desk lady called Deputy General Secretary Zhang to confirm the situation, and the situation was quickly confirmed.
Front desk lady: "Hello, Mr. Ju, please wait here for a moment. Vice President Zhang's secretary will come down to pick you up soon."
Ju Miao: "Okay, thank you very much."
Front desk lady: "You're welcome."
After that, Ju Miao moved to the side and waited for others to welcome her.
Not long after, a girl wearing a lady's suit came close to her. Ju Miao was suddenly stunned when she saw her. She just felt as if she had seen her somewhere. She wore square glasses and had a long hair that did not reach her shoulders.
She has short hair, relatively good facial features, fair and smooth skin, and is very generous and decent in temperament. She is about 160cm tall, weighs no more than 50kg, has a well-proportioned body and is well-proportioned. She is wearing a women's white shirt.
He wears a short blue tie at the neckline, a suit jacket and skirt that are also blue, and brown leather shoes.
Zhang Xiao: "Are you Mr. Ju?"
Ju Miao: "Yes, I am Ju Miao."
Zhang Xiao: "Hello, I am Vice President Zhang's secretary. My name is Zhang Xiao."
Saying this, he stretched out his hand politely, and Ju Miao also shook hands with him politely.
Zhang Xiao: "Mr. Ju, please come with me."
After that, he took Ju Miao to the 20th floor, where Vice President Zhang's office was.
Soon the two came to the door of Vice President Zhang's office. Zhang Xiao knocked on the door politely. After a while, he opened the door and took Ju Miao into Vice President Zhang's office. At this time, Vice President Zhang was sitting.
Looking at the computer screen on the office chair, when he saw Ju Miao coming, he stopped what he was doing and waved to Ju Miao to sit aside. After Ju Miao bowed slightly, he sat on the sofa next to him.
Mr. Zhang seemed to be dealing with something. During this period, Zhang Xiao poured himself a cup of tea and placed it on the table next to the sofa. Ju Miao expressed his thanks with a smile, and Zhang Xiao left the office. After a while, Mr. Zhang seemed to have finished handling his hands.
After finishing his work, he left the office chair and came to the sofa seat next to Ju Miao. Ju Miao quickly stood up, introduced herself politely and extended her hand to shake hands.
Ju Miao: "Hello, Vice President Zhang, I am Ju Miao, a staff member of Chuanghe Chemical Quality Department."
Vice President Zhang: "Xiao Ju, I heard your vice president mention you and say that you are a young hero in their place. Today I saw that you are indeed a talented person."
Ju Miao: "Vice President Zhang has given me the award. I'm sorry for interrupting you this time and taking up your precious time."
Vice President Zhang: "Wherever it goes, we are all our own people, so there is no need for these polite words. Please take a seat."
The two sat down one after another and began to chat about daily life, talking about some things related to the cooperative business and the recent economic situation. After that, Ju Miao found an opportunity to transfer the information and documents given by the Vice President to Vice President Zhang. Vice President Zhang
Mr. Zong took the information document, put on his reading glasses and looked at it for a while, then took it to the desk, stamped it with the official seal and handed it back to Ju Miao. Ju Miao thought that this would end the matter smoothly, but who would have expected Zhang
The vice president actually proposed to have dinner together in the evening. He was the host and did not allow Ju Miao to refuse. Ju Miao had no choice but to agree. After that, Vice President Zhang had to be busy with official duties, so Ju Miao went to the corner of the corridor and called his vice president.
, informed the progress of the matter and confessed that Vice President Zhang wanted to treat guests to dinner. His Vice President laughed and told Ju Miao to eat what he should eat without fear. After that, Zhang Xiao took Ju Miao to the employee rest area.
Zhang Xiao: "Mr. Ju, this is our staff rest area. If you need anything, please help yourself. Everything is free. There are juice, coffee, and some snacks here. There is a library area over there. You can choose.
Read your favorite magazines or books.”
Ju Miao: "Thank you."
Zhang Xiao: "You're welcome. By the way, I will also go to the dinner with Vice President Zhang in the evening. It's just that I don't drink well, so please be merciful."
Ju Miao: "Haha, no problem."
After that, the two said a few more words, and Zhang Xiao went back to work.
Sitting here alone, Ju Miao felt a little bored, so she randomly found a magazine to read to pass the time.
Soon the time came in the evening. Vice President Zhang, Zhang Xiao, and Ju Miao came to a Hunan restaurant, entered the reserved private room directly, and ordered more than ten dishes and a bottle of Gonghe national wine. The three of them ate while
While chatting, Ju Miao also gradually relaxed while pushing cups and changing cups. Through chatting, Ju Miao found out that Vice President Zhang and Zhang Xiao are related. Zhang Xiao’s father is Vice President Zhang’s younger brother, so Zhang Xiao is Zhang Xiao.
The niece of the vice president.
Vice President Zhang: "Xiao Ju, although this is our first meeting, I really like you as a child. You look so honest and reliable. No wonder your Vice President always praises you."
Ju Miao: "Thank you, Vice President Zhang, for your support. I am actually just an ordinary person who cannot be more ordinary. It is also a matter of luck that I can be appreciated by our Vice President."
Vice President Zhang: "Hahaha, Xiaoju, you are too modest. By the way, I heard that you are still single, right?"
Ju Miao: "Yes, I am still single at the moment."
Vice President Zhang: "Huh? How do you say this? Do you already have someone you like?"
Ju Miao: "Is that true?"
Vice President Zhang: "This is easy to handle. Look at the person next to me, my niece. What do you think?"
Ju Miao: "Miss Zhang is a very cute girl."
Moving his gaze to Zhang Xiao's face aside, he saw that her face was already a little red, not sure if it was because of drinking.
Vice President Zhang: "It's okay if you think it's cute. Let's just add him on WeChat and get along as friends from today on. If you think we can get along, you might as well start a relationship."
Ju Miao: "This... this is too sudden. Besides, I am a person with no fixed abode, and my family status is really not worthy of Miss Zhang."
Vice President Zhang: "What's the matter? Family status is a given. You are still young and there are countless possibilities in the future. What do you think, Xiao?"
Zhang Xiao: "I, I...I listen to uncle."
Vice President Zhang: "Okay, that's it. Hurry up, you two will become friends in front of me."
When Ju Miao saw this situation, she couldn't shirk it anymore, otherwise it would not only hurt Vice President Zhang's face, but also hurt Miss Zhang's face, so she rummaged for her cell phone in her briefcase, and the moment she took it out
, a piece of white paper was also brought out, and it happened to fall at Zhang Xiao's feet. Zhang Xiao instinctively bent down to pick it up, wanting to hand it back to Ju Miao, but the moment he flattened the white paper
, Zhang Xiao was stunned, because there was a sketch drawn on this piece of paper, and the place drawn in the painting was very familiar to him.
Zhang Xiao: "Hmm? Chidori Temple?"
Ju Miao: "What? Miss Zhang, do you know this place?"
Hearing the name Zhang Xiao said, some memories in Ju Miao's mind were immediately awakened. That's right! A place called Chidori City did appear in his dream. I don't know what Miss Zhang mentioned about Chidori Temple.
Is there any connection?
Zhang Xiao: "You know, I grew up near Chidori Temple. That's my hometown."
Ju Miao: "Miss Zhang, can you tell me where this Chidori Temple is? Please, I have been looking for this place for a long time. No matter what, I want to see it with my own eyes."
Ju Miao, who had already lost confidence in searching for clues in dreams, now found that her hope was ignited again.
Zhang Xiao: "Of course, if Mr. Ju wants to know, I can tell you, but this Thousand Birds Temple is hard to find now..."
Ju Miao: "It doesn't matter, no matter how hard it is to find, no matter how far away, I will definitely go there."
Zhang Xiao: "Mr. Ju, why do you want to find this place so much? Can you tell me the reason?"
Ju Miao: "Hey... I don't know what to say. If I told you that I have been haunted by a dream for many years, and the Chidori Temple you mentioned appeared in this dream, would you believe it?"
Zhang Xiao: "Letter."
Ju Miao: "Thank you."
The two looked at each other, and at that moment they both seemed to notice an unusual emotion rising in their hearts.
Vice President Zhang on the side saw that the two were getting along well, so he decided to give them a push.
Vice President Zhang: "Xiao, let's do this. You will be on vacation starting tomorrow, and you will accompany Ju Miao to find the Chidori Temple."
Zhang Xiao: "Huh? Okay."
He was surprised at first, but then turned his head to look at Ju Miao and no longer hesitated.
Ju Miao: "I'm really sorry that I have to trouble you to accompany me because of my personal matters."
Zhang Xiao: "It's okay, I just want to go back and have a look anyway."
The three of them chatted here for a while, and then Ju Miao took a taxi and sent Vice President Zhang and Zhang Xiao home one after another, and finally returned to the hotel where they were staying. Ju Miao felt a little excited at the moment, because
She never dreamed that when she had given up, she would suddenly get a new important clue. If it was as Zhang Xiao said, she could take her to the place called Chidori Temple, and maybe she could solve the problem.
To solve the mystery of this dream, Ju Miao always felt that this Chidori Temple, which she had never been to before, must have an inseparable connection with her. Ju Miao could not wait to fly over in a rocket to find out. Ju Miao ordered the high-speed rail that night
Fortunately, Zhang Xiao’s hometown is not far from here, and it only takes about 3 hours by high-speed rail.
Early the next morning, Ju Miao came to the high-speed rail station to meet Zhang Xiao. Both of them were wearing casual clothes today. Ju Miao wore a T-shirt, overalls and sneakers, while Ms. Zhang also wore a T-shirt, trousers and travel shoes.
, the two of them were dressed in a couple's style, which made the two people a little nervous when they met, but the enthusiastic and generous Zhang Xiao quickly took the initiative, acted as a guide to lead the way for Ju Miao, and started chatting with Ju Miao.
At around 10 a.m., the high-speed rail train started slowly and headed towards the target city.
