Chapter 2: Crossing syndrome

Views:

In addition to poverty, Zhou'an County is famous for another thing, methamphetamine.

In Zhang Feng’s dream, until many years later, drugs were a chronic disease in Zhou’an County, and the largest drug case in the country that was uncovered in later generations also occurred in Zhou’an County, from a chemical plant of a county company. More than 40 tons of methamphetamine were seized.

The reason for Zhou Xiaoyun’s double regulations was not known until Zhang Feng a long time later. It was actually acting as an umbrella for drug dealers. Four kilograms of methamphetamine was found in Zhou Xiaoyun’s special car. As Zhou Xiaoyun’s full-time driver, Zhang Feng was also arrested. Unable to explain the source of methamphetamine, Zhang Feng was sentenced to death in the first instance after being prosecuted.

The experience in the dream is like flowing water. I slid through my mind scene by scene. Zhang Feng stood in the shadow of the tree, looking at Santana, who had disappeared into the night, and could vaguely see the flickering taillights and the mottled lights passing through the gaps in the leaves. The shining on the face, cast a detached shadow on Zhang Feng's face, making his look seem indescribably ugly.

If Zhou Xiaoyun, the secretary of the county party committee, is indifferent to female sex, Zhang Feng has absolutely nothing to say. As Zhou Xiaoyun’s full-time driver, he often ran errands for Liu Jingjing, and he naturally knew the relationship between the boss and the charming woman, but it should be said that Zhou Xiaoyun was greedy and accepting bribes. Acting as a protective umbrella for drug dealers, Zhang Feng would not believe anything.

Zhou Xiaoyun is not short of money, and it can even be said to be very rich. The Zhou family is also a big family in Beijing. He concealed his identity and came to work in Zhou'an County. It originally meant experience or gilding. Others may not know Zhou Xiaoyun. Zhang Feng's true background was clear, so he didn't believe Zhou Xiaojun would make such a low-level mistake at all.

In his dream, after Zhou Xiaojun was quarantined and examined, news of committing suicide soon came out. When Zhang Feng heard the news of Zhou Xiaojun, Zhou Xiaojun had been dead for more than a month, and his parents went bankrupt to find a way out and run the relationship. In the end, it was Yu Mei, the head teacher in high school, who helped him to change the death sentence to a suspended death sentence. Two years later, it became indefinite, and he ended up sitting for 20 years.

Zhang Feng didn’t know if he should believe in this damn dream, the experience in the dream was so real, until now he still remembers every bit of the dream, and in just one afternoon, he actually spent it in a dream. All my life, and the weird thing is that all dreams are actually engraved in my mind, as if I have really experienced that whole life.

Turned around and looked at the street garden behind him. If the dream is true, it will become a park in 20 years and become a scenic line in the center of Zhou'an County. However, the two cedar trees with special significance will be protected. Even better, even a circle of steel wire netting was built, and it is no longer possible to let people hide under the trees to enjoy the leisure like today.

Although he didn't want to believe this dream, Zhang Feng felt a little uneasy when he saw Liu Shu and Luo Tingfeng together. According to the experience in the dream, whether it was Luo Tingfeng or Liu Shu, the subsequent development was quite good. Twenty years later, Luo Tingfeng has become the mayor of Linshui City, and Liu Shu has also become the director of the Xinyang Tobacco Monopoly Bureau, the provincial capital.

After being released from prison, Zhang Feng finally inherited his ancestral business and founded a pharmaceutical factory. However, because of a prescription, he had to flee overseas. By chance, he learned that Zhou Xiaojun committed suicide in the past and made him wronged. The truth of twenty years in prison, and Liu Shu and Luo Tingfeng are the key figures.

After Zhou Xiaojun was quarantined and examined, Zhang Feng was also invited to the county Commission for Discipline Inspection. However, as Zhou Xiaojun’s secretary, Liu Shu was not implicated in the slightest by Zhou Xiaojun. Instead, he was transferred from Zhou’an County to the Municipal Tobacco Bureau, and Liu Jingjing also left the county. One Middle School was later said to have been taken care of by someone, but Zhang Feng never saw her again.

Standing in the shadow of the tree and pondering for a while, Zhang Feng was unable to persuade himself to avoid the scene in the dream after all, so he decided to verify it. Tomorrow is the day when Zhou Xiaoyun is quarantined and examined in his dream. The time left for him is really limited, and he can verify the dream. The evidence of life, but there is no clue. You can't wait until tomorrow to see if Zhou Xiaojun has been invited by the Commissioner for Discipline Inspection.

After repeatedly recalling the details of the dream several times, Zhang Feng found that it was very difficult to confirm whether the dream was true tonight. Although it sounds absurd, Zhang Feng felt that it was necessary to confirm it. Fan, after all, what is about to happen tomorrow will affect his life.

It seems that there are only two things that can be confirmed tonight, and they are closely related to what will happen tomorrow. One is Zhou Xiaoyun’s Santana, and tomorrow will be checked from the spare tire of that car. The other thing about four kilograms of methamphetamine is to find something from Liu Jingjing, which will be the culprit that directly caused Zhou Xiaojun to lose his resistance.

It just seems that these two things are not easy to do at the moment, because according to the usual practice, Zhou Xiaojun must have gone to Liu Jingjing to spend the night, and the private car will naturally be driven away by him, so these two things are actually two in one. thing.

A crisp cry came from his waist, Zhang Feng stretched out his hand and pulled out the pager from his belt. For some reason, the Hanxian pager, which usually looked rather fashionable, looked like an antique in his hand at this time. There was an unspeakable weird feeling in Li, shaking his head, driving this weird feeling out of his mind, Zhang Feng looked down at the information above.

It was paging from his fiancée Yang Xiaolan, asking him if he would go back in the evening. He pressed it a few times and checked the time on the display. Before he knew it, it was already over ten in the evening, so he put the pager back on his waist, left and right. After looking at it, the nearest telephone booth was also seven or eight hundred meters away, and people might not be willing to open business at this time.

I don't know if it was affected by the dream, Zhang Feng soon lost the call back to his fiancee.

This paging reminded him of certain experiences in his dream. After he went to prison, his fiancée Yang Xiaolan and Luo Tingfeng married lightning, and when he came out of prison 20 years later, both Yang Xiaolan and Luo Tingfeng’s daughters were 18 years old. What made him the most intolerable was that Yang Xiaolan actually helped Luo Tingfeng later, defrauding the prescription from his hands, and eventually forced him to flee overseas.

Although the dream has not yet been confirmed, Zhang Feng subconsciously believes it, but he hasn't found it yet.

Yang Xiaolan and him were originally scheduled to get married on the National Day. At this time, the two had actually lived together. It should have been the time for tenderness and sweetness, but Zhang Feng was disturbed by the sudden nightmare. Inexplicably, there was nothing in his heart. The passion of the past.

Turning off the pager, Zhang Feng touched his stomach, raised his leg and walked towards the small night market. The sky is big and the food is the biggest. First fill up his stomach. Because of this dream, he has not eaten dinner until now, his stomach has already begun. Protested.

Temporarily getting rid of the entanglement of dreams, Zhang Feng walked lazily to the Crossroads Building on East Street. At night, there was a night market stall selling snacks at the corner of the intersection. He randomly picked a spot in front of a wonton shelf and pulled the pony fork. Sitting down, Zhang Feng's small wonton seller shouted: "Here is a bowl of wontons, two steamed buns!"

Since having a love nest with Yang Xiaolan, Zhang Feng has not been eating overnight on the street for some time. After smelling the long-lost taste, his depressed mood finally improved a bit. He looked around, but couldn't help but sigh. Twenty years later, such small stalls have long been invisible. Although the streets are much more tidy, the atmosphere will never be found.

A bowl of wontons was four cents, and a meat sandwich was five cents. When paying the bill, Zhang Feng actually let out a sigh. In his impression, it seemed that such small bills had already disappeared. He shook his head slightly, and he realized, He unconsciously brought out the life experience in his dreams. It was strange to say that he felt more and more that he didn't seem to have a dream, but more like returning to the modern world from a later life, except for having this pair. Except for the young body, everything else has changed.

This feeling is getting stronger and stronger, making Zhang Feng a little at a loss. The old county town seems to be different in his eyes. The county town that originally thought it was very modern was so broken in his feelings. Unbearable, he seemed to suddenly become a bystander, a passer-by, this strange feeling is still getting stronger and stronger.

I bought a bottle of Xifeng wine at a roadside store, spent 12 yuan, Zhang Feng unscrewed it, and drank it on the anti-skid stone on the side of the road. In my impression, the later generations of Xifeng wine were just changed to a beautiful package, every bottle. It's two to three hundred yuan, how can it be so mellow when you drink it? Of course, this kind of thinking has tortured Zhang Feng again. He can no longer distinguish between dreams and reality. According to the popular sayings of the era in the dreams, his condition should belong to the transit syndrome.

"Could it be that you really crossed it?"

He threw the empty wine bottle into the trash can on the street. At a distance of nearly 20 meters, the wine bottle hit the small window above the trash can and fell into the trash can without accident, but Zhang Feng didn't seem to have any. Realizing that there is something wrong with it, it seems that it is abnormal if there is no hit, and after clapping his hands, Zhang Feng muttered to himself.

After such a short period of thinking and digestion, Zhang Feng became more and more inclined to believe in his dreams, thinking that he might have really had such a life, and some vision and habits were brought over unknowingly, or, instead of To say that I had a dream, it is better to say that my soul has passed through from later lives.

With this understanding, Zhang Feng had to re-examine, the situation that will emerge tomorrow is to repeat the past experience and die? Or do you plan ahead and start a new life
