When Ron returned home, it was around 6:30 pm local time, and the sun was already setting over the mountains. The dark red sunset was lazily hanging among the lush branches of the big maple tree not far away.

When the car turned an intersection and bypassed the steady and melancholy maple forest, several buildings appeared in front of Ron's eyes. Among them, the two-story building with gray walls and red roof was about two meters away from the road.

The small building more than 100 meters away is the home of the original owner of this body. Ron was originally very reluctant to come here. Coming here always gave him a sense of guilt similar to that of a liar. He also knew that if he came here for no reason,

Sudden abandonment of visiting relatives might have caused more trouble. But he still tried to delay the trip, so that it took a few days after Ram's wedding before he started to return to the United States.

In fact, there were other reasons that prompted him to make up his mind. Just the day after Ram's wedding, there was a plane back to the United States, but Ron used the excuse of being drunk and did not catch the plane in time. But since then,

Ron was shocked to find that the original owner of this body did not seem to have left, and the memories that originally belonged to him suddenly became active. For example, sometimes Ron was walking along the seaside road while recalling the time he had with Xie Na.

While taking pictures here as a souvenir, the scene of the original owner of this body saying goodbye to his parents before leaving for the Philippines suddenly pops up in his mind: It was a rainy noon, and it was still peacetime, so the people seeing him off did not have any

They looked worried. The two nieces even envied their uncle for being able to travel far away. From their point of view, serving in the Philippines seemed like a good outing. Of course, their parents didn't see it that way, but they didn't have anything to worry about.

It's just that my mother nagged a lot when she was leaving.

Ron shook his head, as if he wanted to shake this memory that did not belong to him out of his head. As a result, this memory sank, sinking into the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness. But at this time, the memory of Xie Na

It also fell into pieces that could not be picked up.

This kind of similar situation kept appearing, and even became more and more serious, especially at night. While sleeping in bed, Ron kept dreaming. In the dream, he was Ron for a while, Gao Tianxiang for a while, and seemed to be watching for a while. Watching the stories of Ron and his family and friends like a movie, he then dreamed of the boss of the work unit, asking them to stay after get off work to rehearse the red song, so that they could celebrate the party's 90th birthday on the Party's Founding Day on July 1st. A gift. And there seems to be another person hiding in a corner unknown to others watching all of this silently, just like watching a movie.

This situation was too dangerous. Sometimes when he woke up in the middle of the night, he couldn't even figure out who he was for a long time. Did Zhuang Zhou dream and turned into a butterfly, or did the butterfly dream and turned into Zhuang Zhou? Ron knew this

If the situation continues, he will definitely suffer from schizophrenia. When he was in college, out of interest, he also dabbled in some psychological monographs, especially some of the theories of Freud and Jung. After the emergence of

After this situation, he made a special trip to the library to look up information on this topic.

Freud once said that the human spiritual world is like an iceberg floating on the sea, most of which is hidden below the sea level. This is hidden under the sea surface, unnoticed by people or even themselves.

The part of the subconscious mind is the subconscious. Although it is suppressed by the conscious mind, it is the basis of consciousness, and its requirements must be reflected directly or indirectly from consciousness. If the channel of this reaction is destroyed, people will easily

Mental problems may occur. Jung's theory is more mysterious and believes that human unconsciousness has a deeper level. The ancestors passed down some of the most basic things that constitute consciousness through inheritance and left it to them in the form of instincts.

For example, a child is instinctively afraid of the dark, even if he has never heard any dark-related stories such as big bad wolves and vampires. This fear was caused by the ancestors when they were attacked by predators in the dark night.

The ancestors passed it down to us through inheritance.

This told him that unless this body was eliminated, these things could not be eliminated. In fact, in the newspapers of the 21st century, he had also seen a lot of such news, such as someone who was originally an introvert.

Later, after transplanting an organ from another person, his personality began to change, and he became more and more like the organ provider. Just one organ has such power, not to mention that it is almost equivalent to transplanting the entire body.

It also includes the brain, and it is a brain that has not been completely formatted.

Ron, no, Gao Tianxiang now understands that nothing happened to him before just because the fierce fighting life made all his mental strength be used to focus on fighting and survival. It’s just Gao Tianxiang, and Luo

The subconscious common request of Ron left behind, so he was normal at that time. But now, obviously, his brain has entered the edge of division and civil war. Now, he, Gao Tianxiang, must stay with the other him, Ron left

Only by reaching a compromise with his subconscious mind can he prevent himself from falling into madness. The first point of compromise is to admit that Ron is still alive and that he has the right to go home.

…

"Thank you, this is it." Ron said to the driver of the car, and at the same time he picked up his suitcase and prepared to get out of the car. Just as the door opened and Ron was about to get out of the car, several black people crowded in the back compartment also

Start rushing to the front car to grab a seat.

"Ah, the evil apartheid system." Ron thought, "Martin Luther King's civil rights movement has not yet risen, and American buses are still practicing that as long as a white person gets on the bus, all black people must go to the back.

A few years later, it was this rule that triggered the civil rights movement that swept across North America. Fortunately, I was a white man when I traveled through time. If I were a black man, I would have to consider whether to let "I Have a One"

"Dream" was released ahead of schedule."

The car parked on the other side of the road, and no one could be seen getting off the car from the direction of the house. After Ron got off the car, he put his suitcase on the ground, tidied his clothes nervously, and left through the car.

The dust was kicked up and I looked towards the small building.

The dust gradually dispersed. Ron picked up the suitcase, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards the small building.

There is a thin path paved with coal dust leading from the small building to the main road. On one side of the road is a vast field with corn, alfalfa and wheat planted at intervals; on the other side of the road is a small pond with water lilies.

Now, the water lilies in the pond have long gathered their pale yellow petals and turned into small flower buds floating on the water. As the sun sets, a stream of cool water vapor rises from the surface of the pond.

Coming up, pure blue, lush green, hazy dark gray and ambiguous purple are all rippling in the water vapor. An indescribable light is reflected from the water, and the water surface becomes as transparent as the blue sky; it changes constantly.

The light makes the water waves sparkle and ripple, and even if a breeze blows by, the water lilies on the water will tremble gently. There is a reclusive tranquility in this blue-gray cold tone, and everything is as peaceful and calm as water lilies.

In sleep, only the light and shadow are moving slowly, like the dance of underwater elves.

Ron stopped by the pond and looked at the quiet and even mysterious water lilies. He thought: "Don't hesitate anymore. Since Ron is coming back, let him come back. Only the consciousness that can effectively satisfy the subconscious can be

Healthy awareness.”

So Ron, this time it was the real Ron. Although it was not 100%, at least after letting go of his heart knot, a 70% or 80% Ron walked briskly towards the small building. First, he was normal.

The pace, then trot, then turned into a gallop. Just when he was about to leap up the steps in front of the door, the door was opened. A joyful voice came out: "Is it Ron?"

It was Ron's mother who opened the door. In fact, before returning, Ron, who was in a mental crisis, did not write a letter to his family, but obviously, his family was well prepared for his return. As soon as the door opened, his mother hugged her tightly.

She held onto Ron, as if if she let go, her son would grow wings and fly away or dissipate into a pile of soap bubbles.

Ron raised his free hand, hesitated slightly, and then gently patted his mother on the back, "Mom, I'm back."

To his own expectation, the word "Mom" came out of his mouth so smoothly.

"I said Lucy, you have to ask the child to put things down?" The person who spoke was Ron's father, a hale and hearty little old man. As he spoke, he waved his right hand, and he was holding a child tightly on his hand.

A large pipe. Ron, who had sharp eyes, could clearly see the traces of teeth on the pipe.

After hearing the old man's reminder, the mother quickly let go of Ron and wiped her eyes. "Look at me," she smiled sheepishly, "I forgot to ask you to put your things down." As she spoke, she picked up the item.

He took Ron's suitcase and put it on the edge of the table. Then he looked at him carefully up and down, then turned his head and looked at the old man and said: "Old man, our son has grown up.

, I have really grown up." As he spoke, tears rolled down the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

"Mom, Dad." Ron felt a little hot in the corners of his eyes, "I'm back."

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Sit down quickly, don't just stand there stupidly."

"Haha, it's Ron who's back. I've heard that you're coming back a long time ago. Why are you back today?"

As the door on the left opened, a tall man walked over. That was Ron's brother Henry.

"Why did you come back today? We have been waiting for you for several days." Henry came over and gave him a big bear hug.

"How did you know I was coming back?"

"Your comrade who came back first wrote to us, saying that you are going to perform a special mission. You will probably come back after the mission is over. I saw your photo in the newspaper two days ago - you have become a hero!

Hmm. Not bad, not bad. You are much more energetic than before. Yesterday I met Miss Hailan again, and she asked about you. According to her, you should have come back a long time ago. Tell me, what is holding you back? Yes.

Didn’t you meet some girl?”

"Brother, how do you know Hailan?" Ron was willing to use this question to avoid his brother's previous question.

"Oh, her father is one of the shareholders of our company. You are not interested in this woman? I can tell you, this woman is unusual."

"This woman is unusual? Isn't this a word from "Shajiabang"? Is it possible that this brother has also traveled through time?" He raised his head and looked at his brother doubtfully, but he couldn't see anything unusual. It was probably a coincidence.

Probably seeing Ron's confused look, Henry continued to explain to him, "Hai Lan's father is an important figure in the Triads. Does the Triads know about it? Anyway, it is a triad organization in Chinatown, something like the Mafia. Later,

I heard that I was making a lot of money, so I started to think about laundering my money. I have to say that this guy is very discerning. A few years ago, he seemed to have seen the possibility of war, so he invested in it through a white man.

He is involved in the arms business. Now, with the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act, he has directly appeared as a shareholder."

After introducing Hailan's background, Henry paused for a moment, as if he wanted to organize his words.

"Not to mention her background, this woman herself is not simple. She sometimes looks like a cute little girl who doesn't know anything, but that's just pretending. She is a reporter on the surface, but she is actually an arms salesman.

I have been to China, Yugoslavia, and many dangerous places, and I have brought a lot of business to the company."

This Hailan has such a background, which is beyond Ron's expectation. But he doesn't take it too seriously. Because fundamentally speaking, he and Hailan have only met once. In each other's eyes,

, I’m afraid they are just passers-by A and passers-by B.

Speaking of the arms company, Ron happens to have some designs that he can provide to them, which can also improve his brother's status in the company. I just don't know if such a small company can get it. This can be regarded as my own wish.

.But this is obviously not the time to talk about this.

At this time, Ron's two nieces also ran into the living room.
Chapter completed!
