Chapter 27 dream woman

Shui Shui is from Pingjiang County, and married to Maqiao on the Luo River.Her younger sister is said to be a well-known Huadan in Pingjiang, she can sing well in operas, and she walks with lotus steps, which makes people cheer.It is said that Shui Shui was more beautiful and artistic than his younger sister back then, but after he was born a male lion, he suffered from back pain and his throat was broken, and when he opened his mouth, there was a hissing sound of airflow cutting his throat, and any words were scattered. Sanpopo spilled from the throat.Since then, her clothes have been disheveled, and the buttons on her placket have never been properly buttoned. She always has half of her hair down and her face is unkempt, with black circles often left on parts other than her facial features.She often weaves with some old women who are much older than her, looking for pig vegetables, sifting bran, and listening to them coughing thick phlegm and sneezing.

Once a woman leaves her husband's family, especially after giving birth to a baby, she becomes a woman, a mother-in-law, and she doesn't cherish herself very much.However, Shui Shui's tattered appearance was a bit too much, it seemed that she had an intention to abuse herself, a desire to hold herself as a hostage and deliberately take revenge on someone.Several times, she went out to fish for pig food, shaking her hips on both sides.Stepping on a pair of men's worn overshoes, he chased the chickens in the vegetable garden with a hoarse voice "hehehehe", and the red moon water stains in the crotch were seen by passers-by.This is hardly a general idea.

After the death of Xiongshi, Shuishui became a dream woman, that is, a mental patient in Mandarin. She often had an erratic smile on her face, and she couldn't see the potato vine, and she would uproot it as soon as she saw it. It seemed that she believed her son was hiding underground. , As long as she grabs the potato vine and pulls it out, she can pull her son out of the ground. Generally speaking, she is better in the morning than in the afternoon, and sunny days are better than rainy days.At these times, she has clear eyes, accepts people and treats things, and is busy in and out, just like ordinary people.At best, it is relatively taciturn.She is most nervous at dusk on a rainy day.The darker and darker the clouds, the more and more sluggish breathing, the sound of water dripping from the eaves, a dead leaf flying into the window, the damp wall and the foot of the bed, the gradually blurred faces of the neighbors, and The dull sound of chickens and ducks suddenly came from nowhere in the room, all of which might make her fall into a dream state.She couldn't bear the moonlight even more, and when she saw the moonlight outside the window, she would tremble all over, put on a flowered scarf, take it off, put it on again, and repeated it countless times.

If Zhihuang hadn't tied her hands with a rope, she could have repeated this for a whole night.She always said that the headscarf was not hers, and pulled off her head.She also said that her head was cold, and she couldn't do without a scarf, so she put the scarf back on. Shuishui and Zhihuang finally divorced, and her natal family took her back to Pingjiang.Many years later, when I revisited Maqiao, I asked about Shui Shui.People were surprised that I didn't know about Shuishui, almost as surprised that I didn't know about Chairman Mao.You haven't heard of her?You really haven't heard of her?They couldn't tolerate my ignorance, and felt sorry for me.They said that Shui Shui is very famous now, and her natal family is often surrounded by cars.Surrounded by motorcycles and bicycles, small stalls and hawkers use her popularity to do business.People from far and wide came to her and asked her to guess the winning numbers of the lottery.At that time, people bought welfare lottery tickets and sports meeting lottery tickets in the countryside. They went crazy. The towns and streets were in a depression.The township cadres scolded anxiously one by one, saying that if this continues, no one will buy pesticides and fertilizers, so how can we do production?Is the business still going?

Predicting the winning numbers has become the most worrying topic for people.At this time, the people who are most concerned by the public are not officials, businessmen, or intellectuals, but mental patients.People suddenly inquired and looked for these lunatics everywhere, flattered them, bribed them with money wrapped in red paper, and begged them to indicate the winning lottery numbers so that they could spend a fortune when buying lottery tickets and win in one fell swoop.It is said that children who engage in such predictions are smarter than adults, women are smarter than men, illiterate people are smarter than educated people, and more importantly, mentally ill people are smarter than normal people.

Of course, Shuishui is even more outstanding among the mentally ill. It is said that he has almost won the test repeatedly, and has made many people who buy lottery tickets rich overnight.Her fame, of course, spread widely. I met the editor of a radio station in the county seat. He was surprised that I knew Shuishui before, and said that he also went to Shuishui.He used his four-year undergraduate degree to talk non-stop, saying that he took a long-distance bus to Pingjiang and waited for nearly five hours before he was able to see Shui Shui.He would not get specific instructions at all, Meng Po would never reveal secrets to others so easily.Shui Shui glanced at him, and just pointed to a picture on the wall of the sun rising from the mountains.The editor is of course a shrewd person, and he understood everything. When he came back, he immediately thought of Dongfanghong, and immediately filled in his own lottery number according to the numbered musical notation 5562 of the first sentence of the song "Dongfanghong".He didn't expect that a few days later, when the result was announced, he almost fainted: the winning number was 1162!

He was not aggrieved at all when fortune passed by him, and he said eloquently that it could not be blamed on that Shuishui, but his misunderstanding.He was so stupid, so stupid!He actually forgot that the first sentence of "Dongfanghong" is just "Dongfanghong", and the second sentence is "the sun rises" - does the numbered notation happen to be 1162! When he said this to me, he kept hissing and sighing with a black face. Facing this editor who believes in Shui Shui, I can see that the term "dream woman" means: Anyone who is far away from knowledge and reason (children, women, mental patients, etc.), in many people's minds, although They are poor weaklings, but at some juncture of fate, they suddenly become the people who are closest to the truth, the most reliable and dependable people.

I have to admit that knowledge and reason really cannot solve all problems in life.I'm just amazed that the power to deny knowledge and reason is often much stronger than we reckon.Austrian scholar S. Freud has long used his psychoanalysis to make a precise and systematic theoretical statement on this.He doubts reason, even credulously believes in consciousness, and emphasizes the role of subconsciousness, and believes that the chaos, triviality and secrets of subconsciousness are not meaningless.On the contrary, as the source and driving force of consciousness, the subconscious hides a more important truth, which requires people to explore carefully.

Freud believed that the unconscious is more readily present in children, in women, in the mentally ill, in people's dreams—that is, wherever the mind is weak or broken.The psychiatrist wrote "The Interpretation of Dreams" and became a master of dream interpretation.In his view, dreams are the hidden emergence of the subconscious mind, and they are the most important population in the study of psychosis.He will definitely be pleasantly surprised by the word Maqiao people use to call a crazy woman: Mengpo.He must also be able to understand the contradictory attitudes of Maqiao people towards the dreaming woman who both pity (when common sense works) and worship (when fate is unpredictable).

The term "dream woman" succinctly and accurately sums up the Freudian discovery that dreams are the hidden madness of normal people, while psychosis is the lucid dream of the day. The special status of the "dream woman" in Maqiao seems to support all the important viewpoints of anti-intellectualism: Where there is the most unscientific, there is often a more profound science hidden. I don't know any other local languages ​​that can do this.The word "lunatic" in English is lunatic, derived from the same root luna, which means "moon".So the madman is also the moonman.The moon can only appear at night, of course it is close to a dream.Readers must remember.Shui Shui's mental illness does often occur from dusk to night, during this period, there is often a background of oil lamps or moonlight.It is also said that knowledge and reason need to be clear, and it is not easy to survive in the hazy night; perhaps moonlight is the natural inducement of mental illness (the first meaning of dream woman) and gods (the second meaning of dream woman).A person who particularly likes the moonlight, a person who is particularly willing to stare at the moonlight or walk alone under the moonlight, deeds like poetry and dreams, has hovered on the edge of several secular worlds, and has a tendency to have a supernatural mind.

In this way, moonlight should be the biggest virus in all mental hospitals. In the same way, all seminaries, all absolute beliefs and insights beyond science should take moonlight as the highest revelation.
