Jin Shu suddenly had a terrifying realization.
Lin Yixuan is different from other men.
She seemed to treat Lin Yixuan differently from others.
The heavy rain that fell in the middle of the night disappeared after dawn. The sufficient sunlight evaporated the water stains, as if it had never happened.
No one mentioned Jin Shu's nightmare at night, as if it didn't exist.
Jinshu gave up the ice cream business in the square and concentrated on repairing her Walkman at home. She planned to finish the rest in two days.
With Lin Yixuan's help, the efficiency more than doubled. Just after repairing it for a while, there was a noise in the yard.
Jin Shu listened for a while and understood.
It's a rat.
The sanitary conditions of the bungalow are limited, and the weather is hot in summer, so there will be trouble every now and then.
The second aunt is organizing the neighbors to spread rat poison, and the whole hospital is overwhelmed.
Lin Yixuan went out and came back with a pack of medicine, which he spread around the house.
The rodenticide was very effective. I sprayed it in the morning, and dead mice were found one after another in the yard in the afternoon. Jinshu also saw two in the kitchen.
She planned to make lunch and opened the cupboard door to get rice. Two fat rats staggered out. After taking rat poison, they moved slowly and looked like they had drunk too much.
Lin Yixuan was next to her, and just as he was about to grab it and throw it away, Jin Shu moved faster than him, scooping up a ladle of boiling water from the pot and pouring it on the mouse.
The scalded mouse screamed and bared its fangs as it ran towards Jinshu, as if it was about to deliver the final blow.
Jin Shu picked up the broom and hit the mouse three times in a row. The unlucky mouse died, and the other one was also killed by her in the same way.
The whole process was completed in one go, taking less than five seconds, and even Lin Yixuan next to him was dumbfounded.
"You are not afraid?"
All the women he had met seemed to be afraid of rats, especially his mother, Ms. Sun Ying, who could lift the roof of a house when she saw a rat shouting. Compared with others, Xiao Jin was really a warrior.
"No, I'm scared." Jinshu disposed of the rat corpse expressionlessly. "When I was a child, I was locked up in a warehouse and was scared by rats. The rats in my mind were so big!"
She stretched out her hand to show that it was half a meter long.
In fact, it wasn't that the mouse was too big, it was that she was too young at the time.
The creature she hates most is rats. If possible, Mr. Yu even hopes that rats and cockroaches can disappear from the earth.
"You didn't look like you were scared just now." Lin Yixuan swallowed. Her decisive method of elimination was enough to work in the Four Pests Extermination Office. It was too professional.
"There were many things I was afraid of when I was a kid, but I found that tears can't solve the problem, and weakness can't eliminate fear. The only way to make fear disappear is to face it head-on."
Just like her attitude towards the two mice, the more she hates and fears her, the more she has to face them head-on.
"Explained by Buddhist scriptures, it means no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind, color, body, fragrance, touch."
Jin Shu carried the garbage bag containing the mouse body and went out, leaving Lin Yixuan at home to reflect on her words thoughtfully.
Xiaojin's way of dealing with fear is different from normal people. Could this be the cause of her nightmare?
Lin Yixuan could think of it, and so had Jin Shu.
So she didn't go home directly after throwing away the garbage. She found a small shop on the roadside and wanted to make a call.
The installation fee for landline phones is not cheap. If you want to make calls, you can only go to a small store with a phone and pay to dial.
Jinshu didn't like last night's dream, so she chose to face her fear.
Pressing the familiar number in my memory, the call was quickly connected.
"Hello, this is the Second Foreign Language Switchboard. Where do you go?"
"I am the editor of Juvenile Tree Magazine. Is Teacher Yu Ziying from the English Department here? Her daughter Yu Jinshu submitted an article to us two years ago. I would like to send her the writing fee."
"Teacher Yu Ziying's daughter...?!" The answerer looked surprised. The microphone was pressed and he seemed to be whispering to the people around him.
After a while, the answerer's voice rang again.
"Teacher Yu Ziying has asked for leave. Her eldest daughter died in an accident. Teacher Yu is organizing a funeral. How about you leave your contact information and I will ask her to contact you when she gets to work."
"No need." Jin Shu hung up the phone, feeling disappointed.
it is as expected.
The "self" of this time and space disappears.
In fact, she had thought about this issue when she passed through.
If she puts it on Yu Yaomei, what will happen to her twelve-year-old self in this time and space?
It's just that she doesn't want to think about those so-called "family members" in her previous life. Thinking of those people makes her sick, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with them.
If it weren't for the dream he had last night, Jin Shu wouldn't even have made this call.
Now that she is sure, she has settled her thoughts, and will not contact these people again in the future. She will not have anything to do with that so-called "family" in her life.
This is Mr. Yu's method of facing fear, facing the problem head-on and never avoiding it.
There's just one thing that makes Jin Shu a little worried.
When she was twelve years old in her previous life, she almost got into a car accident, but a big brother who was a soldier saved her.
She couldn't remember the brother's face, but vaguely remembered that he seemed to be injured.
After he rescued her, he saw that she was distracted and chatted with her all afternoon.
She was in a trance at the time and crossed the road without looking at the cars because it was the anniversary of her sister's death.
My sister died only two years ago, and the whole family no longer remembers her existence, and no one feels sad for her.
Jin Shu was in a trance and sad, and also had thoughts of committing suicide.
What really made her change her mind was the half-afternoon spent with that brother.
He comforted her a lot and said a lot of encouraging words to her.
She couldn't remember much else, but there was one sentence that Jin Shu always remembered.
High morale is irresistible and invincible. With it, any mind can be fearless and invincible.
He said that was his motto, from "The Republic".
Therefore, in the years to come, when Jinshu encounters difficulties, she will think of that afternoon and the warmth that a strange brother brought to her.
When parting, he also gave her a bullet shell necklace.
He said the bullet was a souvenir of his first shot and was his talisman.
He gave the amulet to the bumpy little Jinshu, hoping that the little girl would have a long life and a smooth journey.
The Bullet Brocade Book was always with me, but unfortunately it disappeared after time travel.
Her life was given by soldiers, and she has a good impression of people wearing military uniforms.
Perhaps this was the reason why she kept Lin Yixuan by her side after her nightmare last night, and it also explains why she treats Lin Yixuan differently from others because of his military uniform.
Mr. Yu has come to terms with herself. In fact, she also knows deep down that the nature of the problem may not be as simple as military uniforms.
But she didn't want to think about it anymore, so she just took it as such.
The call gave her peace of mind.
It was very easy to make sure that she would no longer have anything to do with her family in her previous life.
It's just a bit regretful to think that I can't find my brother who is a soldier.
I hope he is safe and happy, and that everything he gets comes as he wishes, Jinshu prays silently.
In the Lin family, Lin Yixuan sneezed inexplicably.
"Yixuan, do you have a cold?" The second aunt opened the door and entered the room. Seeing that he kept sneezing, she asked with concern.
"Maybe someone is talking about me - Second Aunt, are you okay?" Lin Yixuan rubbed his nose.
"I have something important to tell you."
