Chapter 30 7. Doubt

"House?" Wang Xingyu and Dong Lin were surprised at the same time, "What's wrong with the house?" Wang Jingwen didn't care too much about this matter. Now that she had said it, she simply expressed all her guesses and feelings in her heart: "From the moment I stepped into this house, I had an inexplicable sense of fear. I thought it was an illusion, which would be fleeting. However, during the five days since I came back, this feeling has been lingering Beside me, appearing and disappearing, strong and weak at times—I finally understand that this is not an illusion, and there must be some reason for my strange feeling!"

"In fact, the strange things that happened in the past few days just confirmed this point. I saw a terrible hallucination on the first night. At that time, you thought it was caused by forgetting to take medicine. But in the next few days, I took it on time medicine, but two more terrifying hallucinations appeared intensified tonight!" Wang Jingwen shook her head in fear and said, "I can't lie to my feelings anymore, I know this is definitely not normal!" After listening to Wang Jingwen's speech, Wang Xingyu and Dong Lin were dumbfounded in astonishment.Wang Xingyu asked puzzledly: "Jingwen, you said you felt a weird feeling from the moment you stepped into this house? Then why didn't you tell us?"

"I'm afraid you will be sad—this house is a new house you specially prepared for me..." "What does that matter? What we care about is your feelings." My father said, "If you are not happy here, what is the point of our careful preparation?" "I'm not unhappy. Dad, Mom, I'm very happy living with you. It's just..." "Why do you have to think that hallucinations are about the house?" asked the father. "I can't think of any other reason." Wang Jingwen said, "In just a few days after I lived here, I experienced all kinds of hallucinations one after another. If it wasn't caused by the environment, I really don't know what else could be the reason——Dad , During the last more than a year of my stay in the nursing home, I never experienced hallucinations once! Otherwise, the doctor would not agree to let me go home to live in!"

"But..." Dong Lin said in embarrassment, "Your father and I didn't think there was anything wrong." Wang Jingwen opened her mouth, then lowered her head: "You still don't believe what I said, you think I'm sick again, right?" "Jingwen, we really don't think so, we believe that you are completely cured." Father sat next to Wang Jingwen, holding her shoulder and said, "I thought carefully about what you said just now, and analyzed it. Can you see it like this - the inexplicable sense of fear you felt when you first walked in the door a few days ago is just an illusion caused by your unfamiliarity with the new environment, and this illusion creates a psychological suggestion for you, It makes you feel like there's something in this house that scares you, which is why you have hallucinations from time to time."

Wang Jingwen bit her lower lip, thinking carefully about what her father said.After a while, she raised her head: "But, Dad, there is one thing that I think is just the opposite - when I first entered this house, I didn't feel a sense of strangeness, but a vague feeling that I am familiar with someone in this family. There’s a sense of familiarity to something. Like something I’ve seen somewhere before and just can’t remember.” "How is that possible?" Mother said, "This house, including every piece of furniture in this home, was newly bought before you moved in. You can also see that every part of this home, whether it is a table , cabinets, beds; or curtains, sheets, kitchen utensils; even small things like brooms and rags are all new—everything from our previous home has not been brought here.”

On this point, my mother was indeed right.In fact, Wang Jingwen has observed carefully for the past five days—everything in this house is brand new, with almost no traces of use—thinking of this, she feels a little speechless. After being bored for a while, Wang Jingwen said to her parents as if she had made a decision: "Dad, Mom, I want to call Dr. Nie tomorrow." These words caused both parents to change their faces, and they were stunned, showing a look of embarrassment. Wang Jingwen asked a little puzzled: "Why, you don't want to?" The father said slowly: "Jingwen, have you ever thought that after you let Dr. Nie know about this situation, he might let you go back...to there again."

Wang Jingwen was stunned for a moment, but also realized the problem, and became hesitant. "Jingwen, maybe what your dad said is right. You just came to a new environment, and you're not quite used to it. You'll be fine after a while. Don't think about it, you'll scare yourself. The mother held her daughter's hand tightly, "Jingwen, Mom and Dad don't want to lose you again. You don't want to leave us again, right?" Wang Jingwen bit her lip tightly and nodded heavily.
