Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

“Me, I want to know what happened to your brother, especially him, the whole time he was sick! ”

Li Yao was overjoyed. He was very excited. "What's your name? ”

“My name is Dong. ”

The opposite side seemed determined, "Where exactly should I start... Our family is on a big mountainside in the central region, although we have been poor since childhood, but my brother showed talent for studying. He was not only our family, but also the pride of our town, when he took the city's first score to a very famous key university.

“After graduating from college, my brother got a very good job in the provincial capital, was heavily influenced by leadership, became head of department in just a few years, also bought a house in the provincial capital, found a girlfriend, and looked at getting married - I mean, my brother was in the upswing of his career, and his future and love were very satisfactory, and there was nothing to stimulate him.

“And he was especially sunny since he was a kid, he loved reading and sports, he didn't have any bad tastes, he didn't eat, drink, gamble or anything, he didn't even smoke or drink, he put it in our town, he was a freak.

“As for our family, although it is clean of poverty, there is no place to drag him. Our two brothers and sisters may have a slightly worse environment when they were young and tense when they went to school, but since he went to college, there have been scholarships to support himself. Mom and Dad have wrapped an orchard for two years, and the conditions have gradually improved. I graduated from college the previous year and found a stable job. Anyway, you know, our family has a better day than a day, and there is nothing bothering me.

“But my brother was just crazy, that was last year.

“At first, he used to call me and complain that someone was stalking him, and someone was putting wiretaps in his office —— at the time, I thought it was a business dispute, an in-office dump or something, and I was a freshly graduated college student, what could I do? I can only ask colleagues in my brother's company to take care of him, but a few good colleagues in my brother's company have said that my brother is the most important middle level cadre of company leaders. It is when Spring Feng is proud, who will follow and eavesdrop on him?

“After a month or two, my brother's situation grew worse and he gradually developed hallucinations and hallucinations. He called me and said that he had found the man who followed him, turning out to be his shadow! He said that there are some very mysterious forces that can manipulate his shadow and even interfere with and harm him through it!

“At this time I realized something was wrong with my brother, I looked through his social media and his messages on the internet, and I saw these strange articles like" The Dreamtraveler, "and I contacted my brother's colleague, and one of my brother's best friends said that my brother had recently made a hat out of tin paper in the kitchen every day, covering his head, saying that it would isolate his brain waves and avoid locking his coordinates by some evil presence.

“To say that the leader of his brother's company was very heavy on him, was very kind to him. Even if this happened, he still didn't fire him, but on one occasion, at a meeting hosting a heavy-duty partner, he actually yelled at the boss's nose and said that he saw that he had been a murderer in his previous life, and he just screwed up a big cooperation program.

“When this happened, the company naturally couldn't stay. I should have sent my brother to the provincial hospital for treatment. However, in our small place, someone at home was mentally ill and it didn't sound good to talk about it, and my parents and I had a little fantasy that my brother was under too much work pressure, so maybe we should just go home and rest for a while.

“So we took our brother home from the provincial capital and let him rest at home.

“In the beginning, my brother's symptoms did relieve a lot, no longer had those messy dreams, and we didn't see people on the street pointing at each other's noses for the rest of our lives, and we were all happy that my brother was about to recover.

“As a result, one day my brother seemed to have seen some novelist on the Internet and didn't know that it was a playwright who died accidentally. He got sick again and found a stainless steel pot of stir-fried vegetables at home on his head. He kept mumbling in his mouth about what no one could understand. Ten fingers twisted into a bunch and made some very strange gestures.

“We can't take him to the hospital right now.

“You said my brother wasn't crazy, believe me, our family would prefer him not to be crazy, but he looked like this, wrapped tin paper around his head and held a stainless steel pot, and when he saw someone, he said that he was afraid of his shadow for the rest of his life. Isn't that crazy or what? ”

Li Yao opened his hands-free speech and listened to each other with Zhang Daniu. After half a day of face-to-face conversation, he thought carefully. “Miss Dong, thank you for your openness, but many things can't just look at the surface, so what, your brother said that since his third grade swimming in the reservoir, accidentally drowning, he has had the ability to travel through dreams and see his past life - did you know this before? ”

“Are you referring to his answer on" Do you know "? ”

"Do you really believe what he says? ”

“I don't know. ”

Li Yao said, "So I'm asking you to prove it - bold guess, be careful! ”

“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 really... not very stable, you can't say that what happened to him when he was a kid must be fake! ”

'Cause my brother never drowned, you hear me? ”

He said, "I'm two years younger than my brother. When he went to third grade, I happened to be in first grade. I remember a lot of things. I never knew my brother had a drowning coma for half a month.

“Even if I was too young to remember, my parents weren't even sixty years old, and my head was clear, they couldn't have forgotten that my own son drowned when he was a kid and was in a coma for half a month?

“Besides, many of my brother's elementary school classmates are neighbors next door to our house, and they still live in town. After my brother got sick, I went to ask these neighbors for confirmation. None of my brother's elementary school classmates remembered his drowning.

“The most critical piece of evidence, my brother wrote in his answer, he said he drowned in the reservoir behind his grandmother's house, but my grandmother died before we were even born. We were kind of mountainous, very dry, and there was no reservoir within a hundred miles! ”

“This...”

Li Yiu foolishly said, "And what else? ”

“Yes.”

And he said, "Eighty-nine of our people are dry ducks. My brother is no exception. He can't swim at all. What chance do we have to go behind Grandma's house, where she died long ago, to drown in a reservoir that doesn't exist? ”

Li Yao was right, cold sweat.

“I'm sorry, Miss Dong. ”

He stumbled, “I, I don't know, your brother wrote too real, too imminent, etc., and his answer was only sent a short time ago, and you said he had been sick for a year, that is, he wrote this answer in a state of... schizophrenia, including many of the previous articles? ”

“Exactly. ”

He said, "At that time, he was in a good mental state, and we were afraid to stimulate him. If we didn't dare to take his phone, he would desperately write with his phone, and many of the posts were sent at that time.

“Nor can I blame you for that, because there's nothing strange about it, and that's not true —— something very strange happened when my brother was first hospitalized. ”

Li Yao's eyebrows rose high: “What strange thing? ”

“That's what you said, Grandma's house, the reservoir, the drowning, the dreamer thing. ”

"When I first saw his answer, I thought it was nonsense, because I knew very well that my brother had not drowned, but one time I went to see him and he whispered to me that drowning was true, not in his life, but in his previous life.

“He told me that he had lived in a small county town called 'Chaojiang' in Jiangdong Province in his last life, and that the county was a large reservoir just a short distance away. He also told me a lot about the unique topography and even snacks of the locals, and the living habits of the locals, and even spoken a few local dialects. The tone that came out of his mouth was completely different from our native language, which frightened me.

“My brother asked me to go to this place called 'Chaojiang' in Jiangdong Province - although finding this place doesn't necessarily prove he's not crazy, at least it proves something! ”

Li Yao could not help but ask: “Are you there? ”

“I went. ”

And they said, "Maybe I shouldn't go, maybe I shouldn't waste my time on a crazy nutcase, but he's my brother, and the two of us have very good feelings, including my college tuition, mostly from him, and I'm willing to give it a shot if there's a glimmer of hope.

“I went to Jiangdong Province and did not find this place, but according to the topography my brother described and the dialects recorded, I found a county called 'Cha-chuan’.

“You know, the look of the place, it's a lot different than my brother described, including the reservoir in the southeast direction of the city, the lonely Buddha tower in the mountains west of the reservoir, and the dialect of the locals, and I played the dialects that my brother said to the locals, who all said it was native Cha-chuan people.

“My brother also mentioned a local specialty snack, which is to dry and grind the local yellow flowers into powder, then sprinkle them on the acid paste, sweet and sour, the flavor is very unique - there are many places to eat the acid paste all over the country, but the only family that sprinkles yellow pollen on it, even in the towns next 30 to 50 kilometers, does not have this method of eating, far away, has not heard of it at all. “
