Chapter 3195 Dreams Are Not Dreams
"I, I want to know about your brother's recent situation, especially his, the whole process of his illness!"
Li Yao was overjoyed, he suppressed his excitement and asked, "Miss, what's your surname?"
"My name is Dong."
The opposite person seemed to have made up his mind, and said, "Where should I start... Our family is on the edge of a mountain in the central region. Although the family was relatively poor since childhood, my brother showed his talent for studying at a very young age." He is not only the pride of our family, but also the pride of our town. Back then, he was admitted to a famous key university with the highest score in the city.
"After graduating from university, my brother found a very good job in the provincial capital. He was highly valued by the leaders. In just a few years, he became the head of the department. He also bought a house in the provincial capital and found a girlfriend. Seeing I'm about to get married -- what I mean by this is that my brother is on the rise in his career, and both his future and his love life are very successful, and there are no factors that will stimulate him.
"Besides, he has been very sunny and cheerful since he was a child. He likes reading and sports. He doesn't have any bad habits. He doesn't eat, drink, prostitute, gamble or smoke. He doesn't even smoke or drink. He is a freak in our town.
"As for our family, even though it was poor, it didn't drag him down in any way. Our two brothers and sisters may have a poor environment when they were young, and they were relatively poor when they were studying, but since he went to college, he has a scholarship to support himself. Parents like this I have owned an orchard for two years, and the conditions have gradually improved. I graduated from university the year before last and found a stable job. In short, you understand, our family’s life is getting better every day, and there is no trouble at all.
"But my brother was just crazy, that was last year.
"At the beginning, he often called me to complain, saying that someone was following him, and someone had installed bugs in his office. At that time, I thought it was a business dispute, internal strife in the office, etc. I just graduated What can I do as a college student? I can only ask my brother’s colleagues in the company to take care of him, but several good colleagues in my brother’s company say that my brother is the middle-level cadre that the company’s leaders value most. and bugged him?
"After one or two months like this, my brother's condition became more and more serious, and he gradually developed hallucinations and auditory hallucinations. He called me and said that he found the person who was following him, and it turned out to be his shadow! He said, there are some A very mysterious force can manipulate his shadow, even disturb and hurt him through the shadow!
"It was only at this time that I realized that something was wrong with my brother. I looked at my brother's social media and his messages on the Internet, and saw those... weird articles like 'Dream Traveler', and then contacted my brother's colleagues. A buddy of my brother said that my brother has been using kitchen tinfoil to make a hat every day to cover his head, saying that this can prevent his brain waves from being emitted and prevent his coordinates from being locked by some evil beings.
"If you say that the leader in my brother's company who thinks highly of him is really benevolent to him, even if this happened, he still hasn't been dismissed, but once, at a meeting with a heavyweight partner, my brother unexpectedly Pointing at the tip of the other's boss's nose and yelling, he said that he saw that the other party was a vicious murderer in his previous life, so he messed up a big cooperation plan.
"When something like this happened, the company couldn't stay any longer. My brother should have been sent to the provincial capital hospital for treatment. However, in our small place, someone in the family was mentally ill. It's not nice to say it, and parents And I still have a little fantasy, thinking that my brother is under too much pressure from work, maybe it will be good to go home and rest for a while.
"So, we took my brother back to his hometown from the provincial capital and let him rest at home.
"In the beginning, my brother's symptoms did ease a lot. He no longer had those messy strange dreams, and he didn't point to people's noses and talk about his previous life when we saw people on the street. We were all very happy, and thought that my brother was about to back to normal.
"As a result, one day my brother seemed to see some news on the Internet about the accidental death of a novelist and he didn't know it was a playwright. He fell ill again, and put the stainless steel pot for cooking at home on his head, and kept mumbling about who If they didn't understand the words, the ten fingers twisted into a ball and made some weird gestures.
"Now, it's impossible not to send him to the hospital.
"You say my brother is not crazy, please believe me, we relatives hope he is not crazy, but he is like this, with tinfoil wrapped around his head, and a stainless steel pot on his head, talking about his previous life when he sees people, and he is still afraid of his own shadow. If it's not crazy, what is it?"
Li Yao turned on the hands-free, and listened to each other with Zhang Daniu. The two looked at each other for a long time, thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "Miss Dong, thank you for your openness, but many things can't just be seen on the surface, so what, your brother Said that since he swam in the reservoir in the third grade of primary school and accidentally drowned, he has the ability to travel through dreams and see his past life——did you know about this before?"
"You mean the answer he posted on 'Knowledge'?"
The other party smiled bitterly, "Do you really believe what he said?"
"I have no idea."
Li Yaodao, "So, I'm asking you for proof - guess boldly, be careful in seeking proof!"
"Fake."
The other party simply said, "It's all fake, he made it up."
"Why are you so sure?"
Li Yao said, "Even if your brother's current mental state is... not very stable, it cannot be said that what happened to him when he was a child must be false!"
"Because my brother never drowned at all, do you understand?"
The other party said, "I am two years younger than my brother. When he was in the third grade of elementary school, I happened to be in the first grade. I already remembered a lot of things. I never knew that my brother had the experience of being drowned and unconscious for half a month.
"Even if I'm too young and have a bad memory, my parents are both under 60 years old and their minds are very clear. They can't possibly forget that their own son drowned and fell into a coma for half a month when he was a child, right?
"Also, many of my brother's elementary school classmates are neighbors next door to our house, and they still live in the town. After my brother got sick, I also went to these neighbors to verify that none of my brother's elementary school classmates remembered that he drowned. things.
"The most critical evidence is what my brother wrote in his answer. He said that he drowned when he went to play in the reservoir behind my grandma's house, but my grandma passed away before we were born. Our place is considered a mountainous area and is very dry. , There is no reservoir within a hundred miles!"
"this--"
Li Yao was dumbfounded, "Also, is there such a thing?"
"Yes."
The other party said, "Nine out of ten people in our area are landlubbers, and my brother is no exception. He can't swim at all. What chance does he have to drown in the non-existent reservoir behind his long-dead grandmother's house? ?”
Li Yao was speechless, dripping with cold sweat.
"I'm sorry, Miss Dong."
He stammered, "I, I don't know, your brother's writing is too real, too immersive, wait, his answer was posted not long ago, and you said that he has been ill for a year In other words, he wrote this answer, including many previous articles, in a state of... schizophrenia?"
"That's right."
The other party said, "At that time, he was in a good state of mind, but we were afraid of provoking him, so we didn't dare to take away his mobile phone, so he held his mobile phone and wrote desperately, and many posts were posted at that time.
"I can't blame you for this matter, because, because it's not right to say that there is nothing strange at all-a very strange thing happened when my brother was hospitalized for the first time."
Li Yao raised his eyebrows high: "What's so strange?"
"It's what you said, about grandma's house, reservoir, drowning, and Dream Traveler."
The other party said, "When I first saw his answer, I thought it was nonsense, because I knew very well that my brother must have never drowned, but once I went to see him, he quietly told me that drowning was real. , but not in this life, but in the previous life.
"He told me that he lived in a small county named 'Liaojiang' in Jiangdong Province in his previous life. Not far from the county town is a large reservoir. The living habits of the local people, even, even said a few words in the local dialect, and the tone that came out of his mouth was completely different from the dialect of our hometown, which shocked me.
"My brother, please ask me to go to Jiangdong Province to find this place called 'Liaojiang' - although finding this place may not prove that he is not crazy, but at least, at least it can prove something!"
Li Yao was fascinated by this, and couldn't help asking: "Have you gone?"
"I went."
The other party said, "Maybe I shouldn't go, and I shouldn't waste time because of a crazy man's crazy words, but he is my brother, and the relationship between the two of us is very good, including my college tuition, most of which are paid by him. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I am willing to try it.
"I went to Jiangdong Province, but I didn't find the place 'Liaojiang', but I found a county called 'Liaochuan' according to the topography and landforms described by my brother and the few dialects recorded.
"Do you know that the appearance of that place is almost the same as what my brother described, including the reservoir in the southeast of the city, the lonely pagoda on the hill west of the reservoir, and the dialect of the local people? The dialect was played to the locals, and they all said that this was a native of Liaochuan.
"My brother also mentioned a special local snack, which is to dry and grind the local yellow flower into powder, and then sprinkle it on the Physalis noodle. There are many places, but this is the only one that sprinkles yellow pollen on it. Even in towns that are 30 to 50 kilometers away, there is no such way of eating. In places farther away, I have never heard of this way of eating. "
