I went to the hospital for a checkup without any fanfare or fanfare.
Chen Nuo knew very well where his current problem was.
After using black and white rice grains to seize the body again, Chen Nuo found that this time he was reborn, it was a little different from the time he was reborn last year:
Paralyzed.
Chen Nuo believes that the problem lies in the space of consciousness.
After the death of the original owner Chen Nuo, the consciousness space collapsed. After Chen Xiaowu took over the house, the consciousness space was torn apart and needed to be rebuilt.
Chen Nuo lay in the hospital bed for many days, repairing it bit by bit.
This is a long process.
You can think of conscious space as a balloon.
As for Chen Nuo today, his "balloon" is leaking air everywhere.
He barely managed to keep from collapsing thanks to his mental strength far beyond that of ordinary people.
Therefore, he also lost control of this body.
Fortunately, Chen Nuo can still rely on his own ability to survive.
When he needs to eat, he can use his mind to control his muscles to complete the swallowing function.
Occasionally, when you need your body to make some movements, you can also use your mind to drive your body.
But this is an external force after all.
The most important thing is that after seizing the body, Chen Nuo's strength was greatly reduced!
At this moment, Chen Nuo's strength almost regressed back to the state when he was just reborn - roughly the same as when he first went to South Korea to rescue Li Yingwan.
Chen Nuo thought about this problem carefully and finally came to an inference:
This has something to do with black and white rice grains!
Black and white rice grains seem to be able to make ordinary people take possession of their bodies...but my own spiritual power is too powerful compared to ordinary people!
In this life, before this, Chen Nuo's peak strength was during his trip to Brazil.
In the battle where the three giants joined forces to fight against the seeds, Chen Nuo's strength had basically reached the level of a controller, and he could compete with the Queen of the Starry Sky and the Son of the Sun.
Then it died.
After dying, such a powerful soul power seems to be beyond the reach of the black and white rice grains.
Black and white rice grains can be taken over by others, but like a tricycle, they can carry the soul of an ordinary person to another destination...
But suddenly a Godzilla sat on the little tricycle!
I can’t carry this anymore!
So, after taking over the body, Chen Nuo discovered that he had a big problem.
After seizing the body, the consciousness space of his rebirth was leaking everywhere, and the speed of repair could only barely keep it from collapsing.
Furthermore, there is no way to control this body.
It's like a high-end computer with an old integrated graphics card plugged in.
Most games cannot be played.
Only some of the most basic mini-games can be opened on the computer.
Well, it can still be done by clearing mines, spider poker, etc.
If you want to open a cyberpunk game, you're going to die!
Chen Nuo remembered one thing very clearly.
Back in the northwest, when I faced the ancestor of the Guo family, I heard that guy talk about it.
When this guy took over the house, he was in a weak state for a long time. He pretended to be ill and lived in seclusion in the old house for a while!
Come to think of it... after taking possession of a body, some similar problems will arise.
However, since the ancestor of the Guo family was able to recover later, Chen Nuo believed that he could do the same!
·
Nivel had already fallen asleep, sleeping next to Chen Nuo.
The peach-butt girl was lying on the bed holding one of Chen Nuo's arms, with tears in the corners of her eyes - the girl cried so hard that she didn't fall asleep until late at night.
Chen Nuo was too lazy to struggle.
Just sleep. Anyway, my current body is basically in a deep sleep state.
Harmless to humans and animals.
When Li Yingwan came here a few days ago, he threw the firefly girl out because he wanted to keep it a secret and didn't want her to discover the true condition of his body.
Now that it has been guessed, there is no need.
·
In the space of consciousness, Chen Nuo quietly searched this place.
The thickness of the barrier in space is very fragile, far less than what I was in before my trip to Brazil.
It's not that Chen Nuo didn't try to reinforce it, but the mental power injected into it quickly dissipated and could not achieve the reinforcement effect.
The main culprit of the dissipation is the large and small cracks in the consciousness space!
There are seventeen cracks in total, large and small!!
Every minute and every second, the spiritual power that has formed itself in the consciousness space will slowly flow away from the cracks!
This caused Chen Nuo's mental power reservoir to continue to "leak".
His power cannot repair these cracks, and he can only use his mind power to block the cracks - but this requires constant effort and cannot stop for a moment.
Using telepathy to block the cracks all the time was already a huge expense for Chen Nuo after taking away his body.
After this consumption, Chen Nuo no longer has much mental power that he can generate after running on his own every day.
I can only reluctantly inject it bit by bit to repair the cracks... In this way, the speed will be greatly reduced!
Chen Nuo felt like an ant working hard to carry grains of sand.
But what needs to be built in front of us is a skyscraper.
·
Of course, it's not without gain.
Chen Nuo felt that his mental power was more keen to observe everything around him and the world!
This overly keen feeling made Chen Nuo a little uncomfortable at first - it was a feeling he had never felt before even when his strength was at its peak in his previous life!
A person with strong telekinesis is also very sensitive and can detect many things around him immediately.
Even other people’s heartbeat rate and breathing rhythm.
And Chen Nuo found that he had improved on this foundation!
For example, at this moment, Nivel was lying next to her, and Chen Nuo could even sense the flow of Nivel's mental power.
In her sleep, Nivel's consciousness space operates, the flow and speed of her mental power.
The old mental power is exhausted, new mental power is generated, and the frequency between birth and death...
Sometimes active, sometimes silent!
Even, expand the induction power beyond this room and this yard.
Spread to the entire hot spring exclusive pavilion.
In the surrounding holiday villas, there are men and women, old and young.
Even the resort staff area, logistics, kitchen, front desk...
Every person, sleeping or awake, every flow of mental power, every conscious space where strong or weak mental power exists...
If before seizing the body, even if he is a big boss at the controller level, if he wants to sense the opponent's consciousness space and mental power, Chen Nuo must take the initiative to use his mental tentacles to spy on and detect the target.
Ordinary people may not notice this move, but people with abilities will!
So in the underground world, this behavior is a hostile behavior - no one likes to be spied on.
But now, Chen Nuo found that he no longer had to worry!
As long as he thinks or moves his mind, he does not need to deliberately release his spiritual tentacles. It seems that just by opening his eyes, he can clearly "see" the existence of the spiritual power of all living things around him!
Size, strength, and even frequency of circulation!
It's as if, at the spiritual level, I have a pair of "eyes in the sky"!
What's even weirder is...
Chen Nuo will use this "new ability" to observe his surroundings when he has nothing to do these days.
And often, watching and watching...
Chen Nuo even had a strange illusion...as if he could connect with these different consciousness spaces at will as long as he took a step forward!!
This feeling has never happened before!
It's as if these strange spiritual powers are right in front of you, within your reach!
It’s not like Chen Nuo hasn’t tried it before.
Twice, he made a test.
The target of temptation is the people around you.
Once it was Brother Lei.
One is the gray cat Blake.
During the test, Chen Nuo didn't even release his mental tentacles, but carefully "watched" the flow of the other person's mental power, and then... it was so within reach, as if he could directly connect to the other person's spirit with just a thought.
Called by the feeling of strength...
Brother Lei was talking to himself at that time, when he suddenly frowned and then patted his head gently.
"What's wrong, Brother Lei?"
"It's nothing. Suddenly it felt like someone slapped my head. I have a headache. Maybe I turned on the air conditioner too high when I slept last night."
Well, it seems that "docking" is indeed an illusion.
·
Another test on the gray cat Black was even more bizarre.
The gray cat was sleeping at the time.
After careful observation, Chen Nuo tried to communicate.
Then he "saw" the gray cat's dream.
Mental power flows in the space of consciousness, creating scenes one after another.
A fat short-tailed cat lies in a large pile of cat food.
Under the piles of cat food, there seemed to be a vague figure crawling there.
What did Chen Nuo think? Why did he feel that the figure crawling there looked familiar!!
The cat's paws patted the figure's back gently.
"To be a human being, you must have the consciousness to be a human being! How can it be ridiculous to be a human being and not let a cat touch you?!"
Chen Nuo looked at this scene: "……………………"
Then try to connect...
This time, Chen Nuo made some progress.
He felt as if he had merged into the cat's dream, and his thoughts moved randomly...
The scene in the dream suddenly changed!
The gray cat suddenly found that the cat food under his body instantly turned into a pile of sand!
The man who was lying on the ground suddenly raised his body, reached out and grabbed himself, pressed him on his knees, and stroked the cat hard...
"To be a cat, you need to have the awareness to be a cat! How can you be ridiculous if you don't let people masturbate you as a cat?!"
The gray cat was startled, suddenly shrouded in fear, and then woke up from his dream in an instant!
·
The docking that time could not be said to be a success, but at least a little progress was made.
Chen Nuo found that his "connection" seemed to be achievable under certain restrictive conditions.
Ordinary people can’t!
It seems to be limited to those with mental abilities that exceed those of ordinary people!
Moreover, it cannot be done while awake! But it can be achieved in a dream.
Because in dreams, it seems that the spiritual consciousness is the most relaxed, without defense mechanisms and vigilance.
.
The ability to "dream" is a new discovery.
But this discovery does not seem to provide any help to Chen Nuo's current predicament.
Always teasing the gray cat in his dreams, giving this guy nightmares every day - this game is actually not interesting if you play it too much.
·
Nivelle left in the morning.
According to the nature of the little hummingbird, it is unwilling to leave. It seems that after learning about Chen Nuo's paralysis, the motherly glory of the little hummingbird was aroused, and she wished she could stay with Chen Nuo to take care of this poor guy...
Then he was thrown out of the yard by the impatient Chen Nuo.
In the morning, Chen Nuo had a boxing session in the yard.
The boxing technique was taught by Lao Jiang.
Using your mind to control your body and punch, it's like playing with a puppet - except this puppet is your own body.
Boxing is not for cultivation, it is purely for keeping the body healthy.
A person who is paralyzed for a long time will cause various physical health problems. For example, long-term immobility will cause muscle atrophy, reduced metabolism, slow decline in the function of internal organs, etc...
So Chen Nuo uses his mind power to control his body movements every day.
After a round of boxing, the sweat glands on the surface of the body began to secrete sweat. Chen Nuo assessed that most of the muscle groups in his body had been activated to a certain extent.
Then he controlled his body and entered the hot spring pool again.
After soaking in the pool that was refilled with hot springs for about half an hour, all aspects of the body's functions have been rejuvenated.
Chen Nuo sighed, went to take a shower, got dressed, and sat back in the wheelchair.
Today is not the weekend, but Chen Nuo still decided to skip class.
In fact, this was the first time that Chen Nuo skipped class in the past few days after arriving at the preparatory class of the International Department.
If the teacher who once taught Chen Nuo in this department knew about this situation, he would probably burst into tears!
In the second year of high school, especially the second semester, many teachers have never even seen this guy!
He skipped class today because there was a special matter that he needed to deal with personally!
·
It was around ten o'clock in the morning when Ou Xiuhua walked out of the prison gate.
The sun is high in the sky.
This street is already relatively remote, and there are no decent residential areas nearby... and developers will not develop properties nearby.
No one wants to buy a house where the nearest neighbor is a prison.
There is a bus stop only after walking a few hundred meters on the deserted street.
In 2001, the prison was still surrounded by a wasteland, and a little further away were several factories.
Ou Xiuhua wore a slightly old-style short-sleeved shirt and held a canvas bag in her hand - which she brought before she was imprisoned. The bag contained some personal belongings that were collected before she was imprisoned.
A quartz watch, a wallet with ID card inside, and one hundred and twenty-six yuan.
In addition, there are several changes of clothes in the bag.
Other than that, it's gone.
This is Ou Xiuhua's life of more than 40 years, and up to this moment, she has all her belongings.
After several years in prison, Ou Xiuhua came out and stood under the sun, as if she felt like she was in another world.
In fact, the sentence has not yet expired.
But because she has been performing well in the past few years after being imprisoned, and her family situation is special... she also has an underage daughter.
As a result, Ou Xiuhua was able to enjoy some preferential policies and received a reduced sentence.
In fact, I felt very uneasy.
Although yesterday, Guard Zhang in the prison had told him that he had contacted Ou Xiuhua's family and her son Chen Nuo.
But Ou Xiuhua still felt uneasy and entangled in her heart.
She was not sure whether her son would be able to accept her after she came out.
He and Gu Kang have completely broken up.
Originally, he was imprisoned because he took risks and committed illegal crimes in order to help Gu Kang pay off his debts.
As a result, after being imprisoned, Ou Xiuhua was informed a few months ago that her five-year-old daughter was abused by Gu Kang's family. After a series of manipulations, her daughter is currently living with her son Chen Nuo.
Later, I heard that after Gu Kang was released from prison, he harassed Chen Nuo and extorted money.
Ou Xiuhua was sad and hated herself even more for being blind.
The divorce procedures with Gu Kang are already in process, and the divorce agreement has been signed...
But when it comes to prisoners in custody, the divorce procedures are more complicated and take some time to complete.
Today, Ou Xiuhua walked out of prison and breathed the air of freedom again. In fact, the greater anxiety in her heart was the confusion about her future life.
There is no relationship with the Gu family anymore, so it is naturally impossible for the Gu family to go back.
And my own home...has long since disappeared.
Today, Ou Xiuhua is in the position of having no savings, no house or place to live, and no job.
Three no states.
In this city, there are no shading tiles above and no place to stand below.
Originally, according to Ou Xiuhua's calculation, there might be only two ways for him to go.
Or, go and seek refuge with your natal family - but the situation in your natal family is also very bad.
My parents have passed away. Although I have an eldest brother in the family, the elder sister-in-law is not easy to get along with and has never been a kind-hearted person.
During her early marriage to Chen Jianshe, her life became very difficult because people kept coming to collect debts, so her sister-in-law ordered her eldest brother to cut off all contact with her.
The kind of person who doesn’t even call to say hello during the holidays.
Now that I am alone, I am still a person who has been released from prison... If I go to join my elder brother's family, I am afraid that the elder sister-in-law will not be willing to accept it.
Moreover, even if the eldest brother accepts him because of the relationship between brother and sister, but... why bother?
If this is the case, it will definitely cause conflicts between husband and wife.
Ou Xiuhua is actually a kind-hearted person, and she really doesn't want to cause the eldest brother and his wife to fall out because of her.
If you can't go to your mother's family, you have to find a place to live by yourself.
Friends...it's not that I don't have any.
But they have lost contact with each other.
Both of her marriages were unkind.
During Chen Jianshe's period, he borrowed countless debts and was asked for debts countless times.
That time Gu Kang even encountered a bad gambler who lost all his family property and had to embezzle public funds to pay off his debts.
Several of her original friends had also borrowed money. Ou Xiuhua still thought about working and making money after she came out, so she had to pay back her friends' money...
If you haven't paid off your debt yet, how can you have the nerve to come and rent a house?
Then... I have to find a cheap hotel to stay temporarily.
There is still one hundred and eighty-six yuan in his pocket.
This amount of money, a few years ago, would have lasted a few days.
But in the past few years around the turn of the millennium, the economy has developed rapidly, and prices have also soared.
Ou Xiuhua was in prison and didn't know much about the outside world, but she carefully inquired about it a few days before she was released from prison.
I'm afraid I won't be able to use this one hundred and eighty-six yuan for a few days.
Go to your son...
I am really shameless!
After he remarried back then, he took care of him for a while. Later, Gu Kang died and broke up the family through gambling, so he no longer had the energy to provide support to his son.
I have always owed this son to me.
Now, this child is only a few years old and has a five-year-old sister to support. Although there is a house left by the old man to live in,... life must be very difficult.
Are you going to seek refuge with him again?
Really shameless!
In fact, the path has already been thought out.
Find a cheap hotel, the cheapest one.
A bed in a small hotel in an urban-rural area only costs 10 to 8 yuan a day.
If you cover it for half a month, it will be cheaper.
Then find a job as soon as possible.
In this era, there are still some resettlement policies for prisoners who have been released from prison.
Before I was released from prison, I also received a letter of introduction from the prison.
Some corresponding units can accept people who have been released from prison under the policy.
But the jobs are definitely not very good. They are all female factory workers, or jobs selling labor force.
I studied accounting... but I got into it because of economic crimes.
Which boss or leader would dare to use an accountant who was once convicted of embezzling public funds to manage money for his company or factory?
No matter whether it is hard or not, you can only find a job that can make a living first.
Being a factory girl is not bad either.
As long as you find it, you can live in the dormitory. Once the accommodation problem is solved, most of the troubles will be solved.
Standing at the bus stop, Ou Xiuhua was a little dizzy from the sun. After waiting for a while, she didn't see the bus, so she was thinking of standing under the shade of a tree for a while...
A commercial vehicle slowly drove up in front of me.
The car door opened, and there was a young man sitting in the car, showing a gentle smile to Ou Xiuhua.
"It must have been a long wait... I'm really sorry. There was a rear-end accident on the road, which blocked the road. We had to wait for a long time, and now we're late."
With that said, Chen Nuo waved to Ou Xiuhua: "Get in the car, let's go home."
Ou Xiuhua was stunned on the spot and couldn't say a word.
A bald man jumped out of the car, walked up to Ou Xiuhua with a smile on his face, took the canvas bag from Ou Xiuhua's hand with a smile, and threw it into the car.
"Sister Ou, get in the car."
"You...you..."
"I'm Chen Nuo's friend. I heard you came out today, so I came here to help." Brother Lei said with a smile.
Chen Nuo looked at Ou Xiuhua's nervous and at a loss look and sighed softly: "Let's get in the car first. This is not the place to chat."
·
The car finally got on.
Sitting in the car, Ou Xiuhua was a little nervous.
This Buick commercial vehicle looks very new at first glance. Judging from the condition of the interior, it seems that it was only bought a few days ago.
Ou Xiuhua sat there, placing her hands neatly on her knees and not daring to touch them.
One is the habit developed in prison.
The second is that I'm afraid it will get dirty and damage other people's cars.
"You don't have to worry.
The driver is Brother Lei, a good friend of mine. I asked him to help me today because I can't drive.
After a while, we go home first.
Our home is still in the same place. We live in the house left by grandma.
Everything has been arranged at home.
Usually, I sleep in a room and Ye Zi sleeps in a room.
Zi Zi goes to kindergarten on weekdays and her bedroom is empty, so you live in that room. When she comes home on weekends, you take Zi Zi to sleep with her.
Do you think this arrangement is okay?"
OK?
It’s so good!!!
Ou Xiuhua has no desires or desires in her life!
But if you think about the life after you come out, you can still live with your son and daughter, and live together...
That was already the happiest situation in her daily fantasy!
"Xiao, Xiao Nuo...you, are you really willing..."
Ou Xiuhua's eyes turned red after half a sentence.
Chen Nuo waved his hand: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get home, okay?"
Ou Xiuhua glanced at Brother Lei who was driving in front of him.
Well, that's okay, after all, there are outsiders present, and I'm crying and making people laugh...
The most important thing is, don't lose face to your son.
Let’s talk about it when we get home…
Home... what a beautiful word!
·
The car drove directly into the community and parked next to the corridor downstairs of Chen Nuo's house.
Ou Xiuhua opened the door and was the first to jump out of the car. Then she heard Brother Lei suddenly say loudly: "Sister Ou, wait a minute, wait a minute!"
Brother Lei quickly jumped out of the car, stopped Ou Xiuhua, and ran into the corridor first.
He lifted out a broken washbasin that he had placed at the foot of the corridor.
There are some yellow papers inside.
Brother Lei squatted down, lit it with a lighter, and placed the brazier in the middle of the road.
"Sister, please step over it! Go and get rid of bad luck!
This is the rule when you come out from inside.
Don’t bring bad luck home.”
Ou Xiuhua doesn't care about the irregularities.
But when you think about getting rid of bad luck, don’t bring it home, especially your son!
Ou Xiuhua suddenly became serious.
His movements were a little clumsy, but with an extremely serious expression on his face, he quickly jumped over the brazier.
He even raised his head and glanced at Brother Lei: "Is this... okay?"
"Okay, okay, no problem." Brother Lei laughed, and moved the brazier to the side of the road: "This is just a matter of intention, sister who is not so particular."
With that said, Brother Lei turned around, walked to the car, first took out a folded wheelchair from the trunk, opened it and placed it on the ground.
Ou Xiuhua was stunned for a moment!
Then, Brother Lei went over and helped Chen Nuo out of the car.
"Can you go upstairs by yourself? I'll carry the wheelchair." Brother Lei looked at Chen Nuo.
Chen Nuo smiled and nodded.
She glanced at Ou Xiuhua, who was dumbfounded and had a questioning look on her face, and whispered: "Let's talk about it after we go home. Let's go upstairs first."
