Volume 7: Frost Chapter 56: Burns
After Chang Lizhang sat down, Guan Nuo asked him, "What did Jin Cheng dream about?"
"It has something to do with the previous dream." Chang Lizhang took a sip of the mineral water that Sun Yu handed him. He said, "When Section Chief Tang comes, I will talk about it together. If there is anything that is not clear by then, I will call Xiao Jin directly."
Guan Nuo said, "Oh, OK."
Jiang You scratched Zhaocai's forehead with his finger and asked, "Jin Cheng will graduate next year, right? I remember he wanted to come to Tangjiang?"
"Yes, he will graduate next year and he has almost found a job himself," Chang Lizhang looked at Jiang You, "but there is a problem. The law firm promised to help him get a hukou. There are a few vacancies a year. His senior brother is also in the firm. From what I heard, that vacancy has long been reserved for a relative."
"Just trick him into working there?"
"Yes, it's the same routine," Chang Lizhang smiled, "He has an idea in mind. It will be much better after a year when the certificate is put up."
Jiang You echoed, "That's right. He's young anyway, so he should try his luck."
After the four of them chatted for a while, Tang Butian arrived.
After the greetings, Chang Lizhang started to talk business. "Xiao Jin had a dream yesterday morning. At that time, I was in the confidential area and my cell phone had no signal. So I saw the message at noon and called back. At that time, I had work on hand and it was quite urgent, so I reported the matter to Teacher and continued to work. When it was almost handled, I thought about it and still felt that I had to come to the Special Operations Department to report the case. Teacher Ji also said so."
After explaining the whole story, Chang Lizhang paused, drank a sip of water, and then said, "In Xiao Jin's dream this time, he dreamed of fire, a very big fire, which burned everything he saw in his last dream. Xiao Jin said that when he woke up, he felt hot and painful all over his body, and the things he saw with his eyes seemed to be separated by a layer of fire. After about an hour, he slowly got better."
"Have you been to the hospital?" Jiang You asked.
"No, I asked him to come to the institute for a checkup, but he refused." Chang Lizhang looked at Tang Butian, "Chief Tang, that's basically it."
Tang Bu Tian nodded and asked, "Have you drawn it?"
Chang Lizhang replied: "Not yet."
"Can you interpret anything?" Tang Butian moved his gaze to Guan Nuo's face.
"Just listening to the description... Wait, let me tell you your fortune." Guan Nuo took out a coin from his pocket and told you his fortune. The coin was shaking on the table and couldn't stop.
Jiang You came over and Zhao Cai took the opportunity to jump to the ground.
"What does this mean?" Jiang You asked.
Guan Nuo shook his head and said, "This is the first time I've encountered this too." He reached out and took the coin in his hand, "Ah..." He suddenly screamed, and the coin fell on the table. After rolling several times, one of the coins fell to the ground.
"What's wrong?" Sun Yu asked.
Tang Butian also walked to his table.
"It's very hot." Guan Nuo spread out his hands, and there were three red circles on the palms of his hands.
Tang Butian bent down and picked up the copper coin on the ground.
Guan Nuo said: "Be careful, it's hot..."
Tang Butian held the coin in front of her eyes and examined it. "It's not hot."
"Really?" Guan Nuo picked up the copper coin on the table. It was not hot at all.
Tang Butian put the copper coins back on the table. She looked at Chang Lizhang and said, "I want to ask Jin Cheng some questions."
"Okay, I'll call him now." Chang Lizhang dialed the number, but was hung up. Then Jin Cheng sent a WeChat message to explain: There's someone in the dormitory, I'll call back right away.
Chang Lizhang explained.
Tang Butian nodded and sat back in her seat.
Jiang You said, "Xiao Nuo, is your hand okay?"
Guan Nuo shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's probably just a burn."
Jiang You persuaded, "Go take a cold shower. There are popsicles in the refrigerator. Keep them cool when you come back."
"I have soy sauce," Sun Yu also spoke up, "Just apply a little."
"Okay, fine. I'll go rinse off first."
Sun Yu said, "I'll go with you."
After Guan Nuo and Sun Yu left, Chang Lizhang also sat back down. He said, "Xiao Lin's research is going quite smoothly because of your help."
"It's all Guan Nuo and the two new guys he brought with him," Jiang You walked out of the tea room with a few popsicles, "Chief, green beans or red beans, which one do you want?"
Tang Butian picked red beans.
Chang Lizhang picked up one at random.
Jiang You also picked the red bean flavor. He put the rest on Sun Yu's desk, then tore open the wrapping paper and took a bite.
Soon, Sun Yu and Guan Nuo came back.
"Hurry up and use popsicles to cool it down." Jiang You said to Guan Nuo.
"Okay." After rinsing with cold water, Guan Nuo felt his palms getting slightly hot and swollen.
"Apply soy sauce first." Sun Yu found the soy sauce and poured some into Guan Nuo's hand.
After Guan Nuo grabbed the popsicle in his hand, Sun Yu took out a towel and handed it to Guan Nuo, motioning him to wrap it.
Jiang You sniffed the soy sauce in the air and said, "We have everything here. We can cook now."
"I have a small pot," Sun Yu pointed to the pantry after sitting down, "the blue one. Sometimes when I don't want to go to the cafeteria or order takeout, I just cook some noodles."
At this time, Jin Cheng called and Chang Lizhang picked up the phone. After explaining the situation to Jin Cheng, he pressed the speaker button.
Tang Butian asked, "How big is the fire?"
Jin Cheng's voice came from the phone, "It's very big, it's all fire, the sky and the ground are full of sparks, and when sparks touch something, they will catch fire all of a sudden until everything is burned out."
"What color?"
"Red, red with a hint of orange," Jin Cheng said uncertainly, "It's the color of ordinary fire."
"What's the temperature?"
"I don't know about that. I think it's very hot."
"Can you feel heat in your dreams?"
“Yes, and no,” Jin Cheng hummed a few times. After thinking for a while, he said, “In the dream, I know rationally that it is very hot, but I feel the heat when I am half asleep and half awake.”
"And now?"
“I don’t feel it anymore.”
Tang Butian thought for a moment, then looked at Jiang You, Guan Nuo, and Sun Yu. Finally, her gaze fell on Jiang You's face: "Do you have any questions?"
Jiang You thought about it, then stood up and walked a few steps towards the desk where the phone was placed. He asked, "Did you burn the pipes and bugs in your last dream, or did you burn the whole dream?"
"Well, wait, let me think about it," Jin Cheng hesitated. He tried to recall for a moment and then said, "I feel like, yes, the whole dream was burned. And, and in this dream, I am different from before. I don't know how to put it, but I feel very quiet."
"No burning sound?" Jiang You asked.
"Yes, there is no sound."
"I'm fine." Jiang You sat back in the chair and continued to nibble on his popsicle.
Guan Nuo thought about it and felt that there was nothing to ask. Sun Yu also said that he had no problem.
Chang Lizhang hung up the phone and said, "Precognitive dreams are like this. Some dreams have a definite direction, while for other dreams, you may not realize what they mean until something happens."
"I really want this ability," Jiang You threw the popsicle stick into the trash can. He said, "It would be great to work by dreaming."
"I think I should ask my mother." Guan Nuo said.
"I want to ask, has she also returned from Yanjing?" Jiang You asked.
Guan Nuo replied: "I'm back."
Chang Lizhang stood up and said, "I'll be leaving first, you guys get busy..."
"Let's have lunch before leaving. It's a rare opportunity to come here." Jiang You said.
"No, no..." Chang Lizhang wanted to refuse.
"We ate at your place last time, so this time we should treat you," Sun Yu also agreed, "Let's go to the place we often go to and have a simple meal."
"Okay." Chang Lizhang agreed .
