Long night dreams

Chapter 20 The Mysterious Collapsed Old House (1)
"That's all for today's lesson."
Du Yi closed his book, glanced at the drowsy students in the last few rows of the lecture theater, and smiled wryly.When his eyes swept to the front row, he found that Su Ye who was sitting there had left without knowing when, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Political economy is a boring and tasteless course that will make students and teachers vomit blood together.Su Ye was one of the few students who was willing to listen to Du Yi's lectures, and she was a very well-behaved girl.Every class, without exception, she sat in the front row, concentrating on taking notes.This made Du Yi very happy, and it also gave him a little more motivation when giving lectures - after all, Su Ye is a very beautiful girl.

When she finished her lecture to Su Ye's class for the first time, Su Ye handed her notebook to Du Yi to check, and on the first page of the notebook, Du Yi saw that Su Ye had written: up a few numbers.That's her phone number.After that, Du Yi began to date Su Ye, but the relationship between them was very secretive. After all, it is better to keep a low-key relationship between teachers and students, and almost no one knew that they were in love.

Du Yi didn't know why Su Ye quietly left in the middle of the class, he felt a little strange, and dialed Su Ye's phone, but no one answered.

"Maybe she's not feeling well, let's go back to the dormitory and rest first." Du Yi was thinking, and walked out of the teaching building with his books in his arms.

When he walked out of the teaching building, he took a newspaper from the porter and flipped through it.A shocking red headline on the front page: "The driver of the car accident died mysteriously, suspected of committing suicide due to guilt".The news said that a few months ago, a driver named Zhang Er killed a little girl while driving. Because the little girl was crossing the road, the court ruled that the girl's guardian and Zhang Er should bear half of the responsibility.But on a rainy night one month later, Zhang Er was found to have died mysteriously on the road.According to eyewitnesses, Zhang Er was standing on the side of the road in a trance, sometimes laughing and sometimes crying.When a large truck dragging timber passed by the road, Zhang Er suddenly rushed to the road in a frenzy and remained motionless.It was too late for the big truck to brake. Zhang Er was hit into the air, fell heavily, and died on the spot.

"Oh..." Du Yi sighed and said, "Life is so beautiful, why commit suicide?"
Du Yi folded the newspaper and walked out of the teaching building. His car was parked on the side beside the teaching building.When Du Yi just took out the key and was about to open the door, he suddenly felt a black shadow swiftly passing over his head.Before he could react, the shadow had landed on the hood of the car. With a loud "bang", the hood was smashed into a big hole, and Du Yi also saw a pair of eyes staring at him at this moment.Then, there was a strange red, which was blood splashed on his face, then slid down his forehead, and passed his eye sockets.

Du Yi was stunned, he couldn't believe that on the hood of his beloved car, there was a girl who had stopped breathing - she just jumped off the roof of the teaching building and landed on Du Yi's in the car.

The girl was still alive at the time and her eyes were wide open.Maybe she regretted it?But it was too late to regret it.The girl's body trembled slightly, and a stream of blood immediately dripped from the corner of her mouth, as red as a rose.Then pools of red liquid flowed from her eyes, nostrils, and ears.Bright red blood oozes from the pure white dress, and she twitches non-stop. Finally, she looks at the dumbfounded Du Yi, and slowly closes her eyes.

Du Yi lowered his waist and couldn't help vomiting. In a trance, he heard a group of girls screaming in fear from around him.He felt dizzy and dizzy, and his stomach couldn't help but turn upside down.The distorted face of the girl kept rippling in Du Yi's mind, and finally it was frozen into a clear face.Du Yi knelt on the ground slumped, a string of tears slipped out of his eyes, and then he burst into tears.

Du Yi had been a teacher in the university for three years, and he saw a student suicide almost every year.It made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't bear to see a living life disappear before his eyes.

If it was a female student who had never met him before, perhaps Du Yi would not have had such a big reaction.But this female student who died in front of him, he not only knew, but also had an unforgettable relationship.
-
She is Su Ye!
There was no one on the roof.There is no doubt that Su Ye committed suicide.

No one knew why Du Yi was crying bitterly. The black funeral car took away Su Ye, who was covered with a white cloth, and Du Yi was also persuaded to leave by his colleagues. Only a bloody trace and a smashed car were left outside the teaching building. car.The lady sweeping the floor washed the blood on the ground with a hose. With the washing of the water, nothing was left on the ground. There was still a faint smell of blood in the air. A gust of wind swept by, and the remaining smell was blown away. , leaving no trace.

No one knew the relationship between Su Ye and Du Yi, so no one came to ask Du Yi about Su Ye's suicide.

Du Yi thought that he and Su Ye didn't have any problems, and he didn't know why Su Ye committed suicide.Su Ye's death in the afternoon became an eternal mystery in Du Yi's heart.

After that afternoon, Du Yi began to have nightmares.

Du Yi always dreamed that he was driving a car on Binjiang Road, Su Ye was lying in his arms, but the car suddenly rushed out of the road and fell into the river.He tried his best to smash the window and jumped out of the car, but Su Ye stayed in the car and couldn't get out. She opened her hand and wanted to climb out of the car window, but it seemed as if a pair of invisible hands grabbed her tightly. Her leg was broken and she couldn't move.With her round and big eyes open, she watched in horror as the river flooded into the car window, slowly submerging her whole body.She screamed in despair, but couldn't make a sound.Like a silent film, the surroundings are lonely, and the boundless fear is like spreading water plants, entwining Su Ye tightly, slowly pulling her to the abyss of death...

When Su Ye's face became more and more blurred, Du Yi woke up in despair, dripping cold sweat all over his body.From that moment on, he made a decision, he must leave this city!Otherwise, he would be terrified of sleeping every night—he would never be able to sleep at all.

Du Yi didn't know why Su Ye died. He always thought, how great it would be if Su Ye could be resurrected.Unfortunately, time can never be turned back, and Su Ye will never wake up again.When Du Yi was thinking about where to escape, he received a call from Liuxi Town.

"Is this Mr. Du Yi? I am Mr. Luo Dingran's client, my name is Liu Chang..."
Du Yi never thought about the connection between his life and Liuxi Town.In fact, before he received that call, he had never heard of the place name Liuxi Town, let alone that there would be an old man who had just died there and left an old house in the countryside for him to inherit.

The old man's name was Luo Dingran, a name Du Yi had never heard of.

After Du Yi listened to the call from Liu Chang, he held the receiver blankly.His first reaction was that the man named Liu Chang must have made a mistake?Du Yi was an orphan. He grew up in an orphanage without any relatives, and all the money he spent on studying was paid by the orphanage.

When he raised a question, Liu Chang told him that the old man Luo Dingran's will clearly stated that Du Yi was his biological son. Because his family was poor in the past, he left the infant Du Yi outside the gate of the orphanage and left silently. .When Luo Dingran was in his dying years, he regretted it too much. He finally confirmed that Du Yi was his son through various methods, so he left an old country house for Du Yi, hoping to make some compensation.

Time is an invisible bone-scraping steel knife, enough to kill a person's hatred.Du Yi has long since ceased to be full of hatred and resentment towards his biological parents who abandoned him, he just silently agreed on the phone.And Liu Chang also told Du Yi that in a short time, Liuxi Town will engage in tourism development, and the old house will definitely increase in value, which more or less made Du Yi feel better.Before hanging up the phone, Du Yi promised to go to Liuxi Town as soon as possible.

Yes, there's never been a better time to escape the city.

Du Yi hung up the phone and began to prepare his luggage.A few days later, the school was on summer vacation, and he also embarked on a journey to Liuxi Town.

After parking the car at the entrance of the town, and getting out of the car, Du Yi looked up at the sky.The sun hangs high in the sky like a round plate, the sunlight is not dazzling, but he feels dizzy for no reason.Fortunately, he immediately saw a young man holding a sign, hiding in the shadow of a banyan tree.Du Yi immediately showed a smile, and walked towards the man.

"Are you Du Yi?" The man came up and asked.

Du Yi nodded: "You are Liu Chang?" The man also nodded, and then shook hands.

Du Yi always felt that Liu Chang looked familiar, as if he had met him somewhere before, but he was not sure.At this time, Liu Chang asked first: "Brother Du, you used to study in No. [-] Middle School, right?"
The floodgate of memory was suddenly opened, and Du Yi remembered the man named Liu Chang in front of him.Yes, Liu Chang was his classmate in high school. Although he was not in the same class, he still had an impression of him.Since they were old acquaintances, the relationship between the two immediately became harmonious.During the conversation, Du Yi realized that Liu Chang was not a lawyer, but a dentist.

In Liuxi Town, there are not many educated people.Liu Chang of the dentist's shop is a very knowledgeable person in the eyes of the residents in the town. Everyone entrusts him to help write some family letters, and even after they die, they hand over the will to Liu Chang and entrust him to execute it.
