Chapter 495

Long before Aoki left Wuzhong, Yao Jingjing had the ability to enter other people's dreams.

Aoki realized her potential when she taught her to dream soberly. She doesn't learn as soon as Hu Xing does, nor is she a natural awakener like Meimei. Aoki taught her purely to facilitate the observation of Yao's mother's mental power, but when Yao Jingjing learned to wake up, her ability suddenly burst out.

Aoki said that Yao Jingjing was a sleeping dry well, so that he didn't find her potential in this regard when he was in southern Yunnan. He just needed to dig down a few meters, and the groundwater would pour up continuously, and there would be no time to dry up.

Yao Jingjing's mental strength was not strong enough at that time. She didn't dare to dream without Aoki's help. After Aoki left, she slowly tried to go to other people's dreams, mainly her mother's dreams. From Aoki's mouth, she already knew that her mother had been invaded by parasites. She was scared to death at that time, which was probably the driving force for her to practice her physical and mental strength. She didn't want her mother to be hurt again, but she could only watch powerlessly.

Yao Jingjing and Hou Biao sometimes practice spiritual strength and enter each other's dreams. Their ability is between Bozhong, Hou Biao's mental strength is strong and fierce, and she seems to be more delicate and long.

After Aoki left for a year, Yao Jingjing and Hou Biao have been able to dream skillfully. Although they are not as magical as Aoki, they can also be called miracles in front of ordinary people.

Yao Jingjing felt very strange when she saw the desert in her mother's dream. With her mother's mental strength, it is certainly impossible to support such a large desert scene, but it makes sense that there is something like a screen in front of her, because it is only a two-dimensional picture she sees.

The old lady on the screen should be her great grandmother. She heard her mother calling, "Grandma! Grandma!"

The old lady asked again, "where's Cher? Isn't Cher following you? Where have you been?"

Mother Yao thought blankly, "where has Xueer gone... Where has she gone..."

The old lady turned and walked away. After a while, she disappeared, leaving only a row of footprints in the sand sea, long, leading to the boundless sky.

Mother Yao cried, "Grandma! Grandma! Don't leave me! Grandma!..."

She ran after the desert. Seeing her hand touch the golden yellow, it was like touching the soft LCD screen, rippling out a circle of ripples, and then her people were bounced back by an invisible force, but the screen crashed to the ground.

The yellow sand disappeared, leaving only a narrow and gray space, and the force of fragmentation continued, and the space began to crack, and then boom, everything disappeared.

Yao's mother sat at the head of the bed, holding the square wooden box in her arms, and cried twice "grandma, grandma", with two tears in her eyes.

Yao Jingjing held her mother's shoulder and said, "Mom, what's the matter with you? Did you dream?"

Mother Yao called softly, "Oh, how could I fall asleep!"

Yao Jingjing knows that Xueer is the cat her mother raised when she was a child. Through Aoki, she already knows about Ruxue and the dream corridor. Aoki originally wanted to give her the Dream Corridor because it belonged to her great grandmother, but her ability at that time was not enough to control such a zero dimensional channel connecting a huge desert space.

What makes Yao Jingjing strange and upset is that her mother doesn't know that Ruxue once guarded the Dream Corridor in her brain, nor does she know that there is a desert at the end of the corridor. Besides driving away the shadow in the nightmare and later Aoki dreamed to treat her illness, she hasn't dreamed of her own cat for decades.

Now why did she often dream that grandma asked her where the cat had gone? Is it the potential influence of snow in her subconscious mind, or something else? Is there any connection between the desert she dreamed of and the desert at the other end of the dream corridor, or is it just a coincidence?

Yao Jingjing asked tentatively, "Mom, what did you dream of just now?"

Mother Yao said, "Oh, nothing. I just dreamed of my grandmother again."

Of course, Yao Jingjing can't say I was in your dream. She was afraid to scare her mother, so she said, "you must have dreamed of being scolded by grandma for being naughty when you were a child."

Mother Yao said, "that's not true. I just dreamed of the desert."

"Mom, haven't you been to the desert?"

"I haven't been there. I probably watched a lot of TV dramas in the desert some time ago."

Mother Yao stood up and wiped the box with her hand.

"Mom, what are you taking?" Yao Jingjing asked.

When Yao's mother woke up just now, she vaguely felt that an unusual mental wave came from this box, but she was not very sure whether it was caused by her mother holding it in her arms. Later, when she felt it again, she couldn't feel it at all.

"Your great grandmother brought it back from the north when she was young. It contained all her letters, manuscripts and photos. Later, she probably felt that her time was coming, so she burned all the letters in it. At that time, I was young and didn't know why she did that. She begged her to leave the box to me, so she gave me the box and left some photos in it." Yao's mother said.

Yao Jingjing pointed to the glass on the dresser and said, "why don't the photos there be put together?"

Yao's mother said, "those were put there by grandma when she was alive, so she hasn't moved."

Yao Jingjing said: "it's not easy to save the old photos. You could have taken them to the picture company to repair them, but those photos and glass are stuck together. It's a pity!"

"Can it be repaired?" mother Yao's eyes brightened. "Can you see the photos here?"

She carefully opened the box, took out a very old photo album from it, handed it to Yao Jingjing and said, "it's all here. At that time, you were too grandma to be a baby. No one would let you see it except me!"

Yao Jingjing felt so sacred when she said this, and her hand to receive the album was a little nervous.

She opened the album and found that the photos inside had already faded and moldy, but they were slightly better than those on the glass stage. She saw one of the group photos. Female soldiers in military uniforms lined up neatly in the open space in front of an ancient looking building. There were three or four rows in front and back. The handwriting at the bottom of the photo was legible and read:

Photography of the whole political girls' brigade of the general political students of the wh branch of the central military and political school, 19.27.35.

Yao Jingjing tries to find out which is her great grandmother from the above, but the photo is very blurred and the portrait is small. She can't see clearly, so she has to give up.

There are also some old photos in the album. Most of them can't see clearly. They can't tell who it is or what building it is. It's only slightly clearer until the last photo, but this photo has aroused Yao Jingjing's great interest——

In the photo, grandma looks very young, wearing a fashionable scarf and standing beside her is a young man. Even if you only look at this vague photo, it gives people a sense of being different.

At that time, few young men and women took pictures alone and were so close. From their looks and actions, they also looked like lovers.

Yao Jingjing has never heard of Grandpa. She asked her mother. Her mother said she didn't know. She said it was grandma's taboo and wouldn't be mentioned.

I don't know why, Yao Jingjing always feels that she has seen the man in the picture somewhere. And the background of the photo, she also has an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Behind grandma and the young man is a very strong old mulberry tree with luxuriant branches and leaves. In the corner at the top of the photo, there is a wing like black, like the wings of a pair of big birds. When it was flying, it was caught by the photographer and left half of its body in the photo.

Yao Jingjing carefully took the photo out of the album and saw that there were faint words on the back of the photo:

Huasheng mulberry and Cuan Yifang, taken in mulberry garden, 1931
