Chapter 320 The Child's Dream Never Ends
"It's so noisy!"
In his dream, Fat Tiger groaned and groaned for a while, then kicked his legs and thrashed about before falling back into a deep sleep.
Wang Baoquan and Deng looked at each other, realizing that calling anyone wouldn't make a difference.
"Let him continue sleeping; he probably didn't sleep well last night."
It's normal for children to sleep in, and Wang Baoquan didn't think it was a big deal to let him sleep a little longer. He could just leave him some dry food to eat on the way when he woke up.
"That doesn't make sense either. They probably went to bed early last night."
Ms. Deng expressed her doubts because Pang Hu had more energy than most children. Normally, when she got up, Pang Hu had already gotten up as well. Because of this, she often made him go back to sleep a little longer.
Furthermore, last night, she was extremely tired, but in her drowsy state, she felt Gian snuggle into her arms and fall asleep.
"The child is growing, what's wrong with sleeping a little longer?"
Wang Baoquan felt that Deng was being too serious; he only had one grandson, and it was up to him to sleep as much or as little as he wanted.
After being rebuked by her father-in-law, Deng could no longer continue the argument, so she left with her head down in embarrassment.
After the team had breakfast, they set off again, with Fat Tiger still fast asleep.
The road they walked on in the morning was particularly bumpy, but Fat Tiger was completely unaffected and slept soundly. Deng checked on him several times and called him a few times, but Fat Tiger showed no signs of coming to sleep.
After noon, the village chief saw that everyone was tired, so he found a suitable town for everyone to stop and rest.
The sun was glaringly bright, and the weather was exceptionally hot. Wang Baoquan's family found a high earthen wall and set up camp at its base.
Fat Tiger has been sleeping all morning and shows no signs of waking up, making Wang Baoquan's family very anxious.
On the way, because we had to keep up with the group's pace, we couldn't pay attention to so much. Let Fat Tiger sleep if he wants to. Now that we've stopped, the whole family is all focused on Fat Tiger.
We've tried shouting and yelling, but Fat Tiger is even worse than he was this morning. In the morning, he could at least talk nonsense and give some response, but now it's like he can't receive anything at all.
Upon glancing at Niu Niu standing beside him, Wang Baoquan felt an overwhelming sense of disgust and glared at her fiercely:
"Go over there and get some firewood, and boil some water while you're at it."
"Oh."
Niu Niu was very obedient; even though she didn't know how to do anything, she still turned around and did as she was told.
After Niu Niu had walked away, Wang Baoquan whispered to Chen Shi, who was looking worried:
"Could it be that he's been possessed by some evil spirit?"
"What evil spirit are you possessed by?"
Chen stared at him with wide eyes.
Wang Baoquan smacked his lips, and after a long pause, he finally said:
"It's nothing, just talking nonsense."
Actually, he was feeling guilty. He had just arrived at the temple yesterday when he saw a small female bodhisattva statue with a very kind face and a full and symmetrical figure. He couldn't resist and secretly touched it.
Hearing her in-laws whispering about being possessed, Deng also had such doubts in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud.
She silently took the water pouch, took a big gulp, and sprayed it all over Fat Tiger's face.
The cold water splashed on him startled Fat Tiger, who was fast asleep, and he sat up with a start, like a frightened deer.
Mrs. Deng quickly steadied the swaying Fatty Tiger and asked:
"Son, are you awake?"
In a daze, Fat Tiger nodded repeatedly, then shook his head. He tried to open his eyes, but after opening them twice, he rolled his eyes back and closed them again, and his body slumped down.
"Son, you can't sleep anymore, get up now!"
Deng caught the falling Fatty Tiger, calling out:
"Son, what's wrong with you? You've been sleeping for so long, why are you still sleeping?"
Fat Tiger, who was seven parts dazed and three parts lucid, suddenly chuckled. He was still having a wonderful dream, dreaming that he was eating delicious instant noodles again, a taste he would never encounter again in his life.
"It's delicious, so incredibly delicious!"
Upon hearing Fat Tiger mention food, Mrs. Deng quickly chimed in:
"Yes, Mom saved some good food for you. You can eat it when you wake up."
After saying that, he took the wet cloth in his hand and vigorously wiped Fat Tiger's face, hoping it would help his son sober up.
“You’re not my mother. My mother is so good to me. She feeds me delicious instant noodles and lets me fly in circles.”
Fat Tiger's dream was disturbed, and he was both angry and annoyed. He punched and kicked Deng Shi again, while talking nonsense.
"My God, I'm really possessed!"
Hearing Fat Tiger's nonsensical words, Deng couldn't withstand his punches and kicks, and suddenly let go, causing Fat Tiger to fall down again.
As she spoke, Deng was still unsure and quickly looked at her husband, Wang Laishuan, who was standing next to her.
Wang Laishuan was also quite angry. This child actually hit his own mother. When he grows up, he might beat him up too.
He was spoiled rotten by his father. Wang Laishuan stepped forward and gave Pang Hu a good beating on the butt.
"If she's not your mother, then who is? You unfilial son, all the pampering I've given you has been for nothing. Get up now!"
After beating up Fat Tiger, Wang Laishuan, relying on his strength, lifted Fat Tiger off the car and onto the ground.
Standing on the ground, swaying unsteadily, Fat Tiger was so sleepy he could barely stand. His eyes rolled back and forth, unable to open properly, and his mind was a complete mess.
"Waaaaah... You're all bad people! I'm looking for my mother! My mother wears a bright red dress, she's so beautiful, and she can even fly around! Waaaaah..."
Feeling that no one could understand his pain, Fat Tiger was beaten by his father after being beaten by his mother. He kept whimpering and crying as he talked.
The whole family was stunned when they heard Gian's remarks.
"What did you say? Did you have a nightmare?"
Wang Baoquan was skeptical, but still reluctant to believe that his eldest grandson was truly possessed. He turned his head and stepped forward, supporting the swaying Fatty Tiger, and asked cautiously.
Fat Tiger recognized his grandfather and immediately nestled into his arms, finally finding a comfortable pillow to lean on.
Fat Tiger was so heavy, and Wang Baoquan was old, so he quickly dragged him to the carriage and continued to shake the blind Fat Tiger, pressing him for answers:
"Grandson, did you have a nightmare? What did you dream about?"
His sweet dreams were constantly being interrupted, and he kept getting beaten up. Fat Tiger learned his lesson and found a comfortable position to lean against Wang Baoquan, answering questions half-asleep while still half-asleep:
"It's real, not a dream."
She initially said she was Niu Niu's mother, but later she said she was my mother.
She let me ride her little flying car around, and then took me to her house. Her house had lots of delicious food, fun toys, and tons of food, piled up like a mountain, as well as lots of beds, tables, and chairs…”
The more Pang Hu spoke, the colder Wang Baoquan felt. He had thought it was a bodhisattva causing him trouble, but this didn't sound like a bodhisattva at all. It sounded more like that dead woman was haunting his eldest grandson. He was doomed.
