Finale

Chen He looked at the man who opened the door and came in. He got up and stepped forward, took the clothes he had taken off, and walked to the corner to put them away on the rack.

He glanced at the heavy snow outside the window, poured a cup of hot lemon tea, and gently placed it on the round table.

"Thank you." The other party took the cup and held it in his hand.

Chen He asked: "Mr. Lu, how did you sleep recently?"

"After taking the medicine you prescribed, I can sleep for three hours a day."

"Only three hours?"

"Well, sometimes less."

"Are you still dreaming?"

"meeting."

"Are you still dreaming about him?"

The hot lemon tea is a little sour, and the tea taste of the black tea has become astringent, which may be due to the lack of sugar.Mr. Lu took a sip, and the sour taste spread to Bei Lei, and his sleepy consciousness was pulled.When he heard the doctor's words, he lowered his eyebrows and whispered, "I dream of him every day."

Chen He stared blankly at the patient in front of him. He has been taking over this case for two years, and he is a very typical delusional disorder.The originally gentle and well-educated people become withdrawn, alienated, taciturn, and often say some unimaginable and irritating words, and become lazy in life, living a life without rules.In addition, he often suffers from insomnia and headaches, and can't fall asleep all night long, let alone work. In the past two years, he has almost been wasted.

What's more, the "he" that Mr. Lu mentioned does not exist at all.

He said he saw a demon, he said he fell in love with a peach tree, he said he killed the peach demon.

But how is this possible, how can this kind of thing that is not believed by human beings happen?

Chen He asked all the people around Mr. Lu, and they all said they didn't know. Even the assistant who followed Mr. Lu every day said that he didn't see anyone around the boss this year.

But Lu Chunyan was eloquent, and lost his temper because he felt that others had forgotten the peach demon named "Qiu Yao".In this way, Chen He was even more sure that Mr. Lu was sick.

On this day, Mr. Lu continued to talk to him about his dream.

Chen He took notes while listening.

He saw that Mr. Lu's expression gradually became agitated, his flat and gentle eyebrows were intertwined, and his eyelashes trembled. He said, "I've been dreaming about him for the past few days, dreaming that he's back, dreaming that he's still the same as before, Don't understand anything, stupid, took my hand and said to me, look, the peach blossoms are blooming.

I hugged him, and we stood under the peach tree and watched the peach blossoms all night. The flowers were so beautiful, and he was also very beautiful. Later, when he wanted to leave, I refused to let him, so he cried.He said, he likes me, but I don't like him, he said, he didn't expect to fall in love with someone so hard, he said, he said..."

Lu Chunyan covered his face, unable to continue, sobbing intermittently, finally choked up, the voice squeezed out of his throat, and said hoarsely: "I killed him."

In the past two years, Mr. Lu lost control of his emotions in almost every consultation.He would cover his face and cry bitterly. It was hard to imagine that a person like him, who was in a high position and usually looked unfathomable, would gradually collapse like a child, and then burst into tears.

Chen He wrote a few words in the medical record book, and then heaved a long sigh.

Maybe Mr. Lu didn't come to him for psychological treatment, but just wanted to find someone who could listen to him. After all, who would believe the words of gods and monsters.

At the end of the two-hour consultation, Chen He only said a few words at the beginning, and then Mr. Lu was crying.Chen He had never seen such a crying patient, he reluctantly closed the medical record, glanced at the empty teacup, took out a tissue and handed it to him.

"Mr. Lu, I'll get you a glass of water."

Mr. Lu, who had been crying for a long time, took the tissue, his voice hoarse from crying, wiped his face with the tissue, and bowed his head to say thank you.

The snow is still falling outside, and this winter is very cold.Chen He glanced out of the window, turned his head to Mr. Lu who had wiped away his tears, straightened his clothes and returned to a pool of stagnant water. He pursed his lips and said, "It's still snowing heavily outside Mr. Lu, the car may not be good. Go, see if you are waiting or you will leave."

"It's okay, I'm not driving."

They walked out of the room, and Mr. Lu went to the door and picked up the long umbrella that was on the shelf.Chen He opened the door for him, and said to him: "Mr. Lu, next time we have an appointment in the next year, do you think it's okay?"

"it is good."

"Then I will contact you then."

Opening the long black umbrella, Chen He looked at the person in front of him. In the bleak shadow, he looked even more melancholy, colder than this snow.

It has been snowing heavily in Gaoping City for several days, and snowplows have to drive back and forth several times a day.

Guo Zhaoan drove on the road, the road was wet and slippery, he drove very slowly.Chen He was really worried, so he called Mr. Lu's assistant.

The black Land Rover with a relatively high chassis drove to Guiping Road and stopped slowly in front of the red light. Guo Zhaoan looked around, but he didn't see his boss along the way.Just when the green light was about to jump, Guo Zhaoan's eyes shook, and there seemed to be a person lying on the white snowdrift not far away.

He turned the car around immediately, the two-way lights came on, and the car pulled over and stopped.Guo Zhaoan pushed open the car door, got out of the car in a hurry, stepped on the snow and sprinted, and after running a few steps, he stopped slowly.

He looked at the crying man curled up in the snow, his legs seemed to be nailed in place, and he couldn't take a step forward.

In the past two years, Guo Zhao'an didn't know why, but he always felt empty in his heart, as if he had forgotten something.

He also didn't know why the boss changed so much, as if he had changed into a different person overnight, speaking a bunch of silly words from ghosts and gods.The original way of doing things is gone, he no longer goes to the company, he becomes moody, restless, refuses all social interactions, stays in the apartment all day, guards a projector, and watches a film projected on the screen. Movie.

The person lying in the snow did not know how long he had been crying, his whole body was cold, and the tears fell on his cheeks, turning into a long tear trail.Guo Zhaoan was afraid that he would freeze, so he hesitated and asked, "Boss, are you okay?"

As expected, he didn't get a response, Guo Zhaoan sighed, bent down to help him up.The man who was so thin that only a handful of bones remained stood up staggeringly, looking at the cloudy blue sky in a daze.

The black umbrella was thrown aside, the snow particles on his shoulders fell down, Guo Zhaoan supported him and walked into the car.

There are two worlds inside and outside the car. Guo Zhaoan heaved a sigh of relief, closed the door, and was about to start when he heard a gloomy voice behind him.

"I don't hate him, and I didn't think about killing him. I just didn't react. I didn't think he would be a demon. It would be great if I noticed it earlier, and it would be great if I put more thought on him... "As he spoke, he covered his face and began to cry again.

Guo Zhaoan thought helplessly, why did the boss start talking nonsense again.

In this way, Lu Chunyan said repeatedly for two years, his parents, his assistant, and his friends all felt that he was mentally abnormal.

They said that he became emotionally unstable because of Tao Yuan's death, was stabbed a few times by Tao Xiao, and after waking up from the hospital, he started talking nonsense.

Lu Chunyan didn't expect that these people had forgotten Qiuyao's existence. He wanted to find Qiuyao's photos from his mobile phone, but the mobile phone broke for no reason.He grabbed Guo Zhaoan by the collar and asked him what was going on.What Guo Zhaoan could say, he just shook his head blankly.

Later, Lu Chunyan ran to Xu Weihan's place again, and when he saw someone, he seemed to be crazy, pointed at Xu Weihan and asked him why he stood up.Xu Weihan looked puzzled, and then saw Lu Chunyan squatting down, pulling his pants.He was baffled, his trouser legs were pulled up, and his healthy and healthy legs, which looked like they had never been injured, were revealed in front of Lu Chunyan.

There is nothing left, their memories of Qiuyao, their group photos, and Xu Weihan's injuries because of him, everything has disappeared, together with Qiuyao, they disappeared completely.

When I went back that day, Lu Chunyan had a fever.

The doctor came to see him, prescribed medicine for him, and put him on a drip.Guo Zhaoan waited by the side for a long time, and only left after his two bottles of IV drip were hung up.

The door was opened and closed, there was snow fluttering outside the window, the warm wind was rustling, and the room was dim.

It's almost New Year's Eve.

Lu Chunyan was so burnt that he lay in the quilt, dream after dream came to him one after another.It didn't seem to be his dream, he was powerless to resist, and could only let the pain wrap himself.

He seemed to hear Qiuyao's voice, the child was standing beside him, he was still asleep, but his consciousness was clear, he heard Qiuyao say: "Lu Chunyan, you have to take good care of yourself in the future, Xu Weihan's debt, Tao Yuan I will help you pay off your debts. Just pretend... just pretend that those were all a dream, and everything will be fine when you wake up."

He woke up from the nightmare, his whole body was drenched, and the sweat was smeared against his back, which was cold and damp.Lu Chunyan slowly got up and sat there for a long time without turning on the light.

He lowered his head and covered half of his face with his right hand, his thoughts drowsy.He thought, it will never get better, it will never get better.

During the Chinese New Year, Lu Chunyan went to the mountain once, and there were still many people seeking Buddha.Lu Chunyan lived in the temple for about half a month. Together with the monk's routine, he lit incense, sat in meditation, ate fast and listened to the Buddha every day.

He knelt down before the Buddha every day, silently chanting Qiuyao's name in his heart.He and Qiuyao came here before to pray for Xu Weihan, but now Lu Chunyan thinks about Qiuyao in his heart all the time, but Qiuyao will never come back.

He also visited some people, including Taoist priests, eminent monks and witches. He talked about his own affairs, about the peach tree that had disappeared, and told them, begging them, to give back to the peach demon who was killed by the peach tree. bring back.

But... where can I bring it back.To die is to die, so is there such a thing as death and resurrection?

No one could help him, nothing could help him.
