Chapter 366 Deep Hypnosis
It was six o'clock in the evening and Ma Anqi hadn't started yet.
She filled a bathtub with water for He Shu to take a bath in, saying that she wanted to let He Shu completely relax.
He Shu felt that she had relaxed, but she was a professional and she could only do as she was told.
The bathtub in Ma Anqi's house is very big. She smiled and said it was new and no one had ever used it.
He told He Shu to treat the place as his own and then he closed the door and went out.
He Shu turned around, told himself not to think about anything, took off his clothes and got into the bathtub.
The water temperature is just right. After lying in the bathtub, you can stretch your legs and rest your head on the edge of the bathtub covered with a soft pillow. It is really comfortable.
He Shu was almost sleepy after soaking in the bath. He thought it was about time and was about to get up when there was a knock on the door.
Ma Anqi stuck her head in and placed a pile of new bathrobes next to the sink: "Wear this after you wash it. They are all new."
After that, she quickly closed the door...
He Shu sighed. He didn't expect hypnosis to be so troublesome.
After wiping the water stains off his body, He Shu looked at himself in the mirror for a while. The scars on his chest and stomach were all red from swelling.
He put on his underwear, then picked up the bathrobe that Ma Anqi gave him and put it on. The long bathrobe reached to his knees and wrapped his entire body.
The fabric was soft and thick. He Shu tightened the belt and walked out of the bathroom.
Ma Anqi was already waiting outside. Seeing that he was ready, she took him to a room whose walls were covered with soft soundproof material.
In the room, the floor was covered with a white short-haired rug, and in the middle was a leather single sofa.
Opposite the sofa, there was a stool and a small high-legged coffee table with a glass of milk on it.
"Drink the milk. It can help you enter a deep hypnotic state ."
He Shu nodded, walked over, picked up the milk and drank it in one gulp.
Ma Anqi folded down the backrest of the sofa and it became a reclining chair.
She let He Shu lie down on it and helped him pull out the footrest. He Shu moved his body and found the leather sofa was soft.
His body seemed to sink into it, and it was extremely comfortable, so comfortable that He Shu really wanted to take a nap here.
Hypnosis did not start immediately. Ma Anqi sat next to He Shu and asked with a smile, "I need to confirm again, do you absolutely trust me?"
He Shu spoke truthfully: "I don't think you are dangerous, because I can't think of any reason for you to harm me."
"That's enough." Ma Anqi showed a satisfied look.
"He Shu, from now on, just relax, listen to what I say, focus all your attention on your ears, and don't think about anything else."
"good."
"Close your eyes."
"Close your eyes?" He Shu slowly closed his eyes and tried hard to concentrate.
"How do you feel now?" Ma Anqi's voice was not far away. The light from the white round chandelier above her head seemed to pass through her thin eyelids and turned light red.
But He Shu remembered Ma Anqi's words, ignored that little bit of light, and focused on listening carefully.
"I want to sleep."
"Are you feeling tired now?"
"Yes, very sleepy."
"When you finish answering my questions and I say it's OK, you can go to sleep."
"good……"
Ma Anqi's voice seemed to have magic. He Shu felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and he really wanted to sleep.
But he still remembered to finish answering her question.
"Can you tell me about your childhood? Where did you live? What was your living environment like?"
Childhood…life?
He Shu subconsciously recalled the old building and felt his whole body light, as if it was not his brain that was recalling, but he was floating back to the past.
"We live in an old building next to the old station street. The building is very narrow and has a lot of debris..."
"My mother is very beautiful and gentle... She likes to grow wild grass and flowers. We often go to the market together and do housework together..."
He Shu's narration gradually became intermittent, as if he was talking in his sleep.
As He Shu answered softly, he seemed to smell the scent of home.
It’s the fresh scent of laundry, the scent of the unknown wild flowers on the windowsill…
He Shu's answers were all the beautiful things in his memory.
"What bothered you when you were a kid?"
While Ma Anqi was asking questions, she paid attention to the expression on He Shu's face and took notes in her notebook.
He Shu's eyeballs were trembling slightly under his eyelids, as if he was trying hard to recall something.
"Think carefully, is there any time when you feel sad?"
"In the evening..." He Shu answered, but not in detail.
"What happened at night?" Ma Anqi patiently guided him. She could tell from the expression on He Shu's face that he had entered the state...
At night, the lights in the living room were turned off. When He Shu got up to go to the bathroom, he was afraid of disturbing his mother, so he always went barefoot and quietly without turning on the lights.
The door of my mother's room was not closed tightly, and a little light came through the gap, which was so obvious at night.
Mom was clearly asleep, why did she turn on the light?
Little He Shu walked over barefoot and looked inside through the crack in the door. His mother was sitting by the bed, crying with her head down.
From then on, He Shu would always hear or see his mother crying secretly at night.
He felt very sad and didn't understand why his mother, who was fine during the day, always cried at night. It seemed that his mother had been very sad since his father had not come back for several days.
This made little He Shu feel uneasy, until one day, he once again saw light coming from the crack of his mother's room door.
When I went to peek again, I found my mother lying on the bed, with pills and vomit scattered around her.
He Shu was terrified and rushed in, crying and calling for his mother, but his mother didn't respond at all.
There was only him and his mother at home. He was so scared that he ran out of the house barefoot and knocked on the neighbors' doors. He knocked on several doors in a row before someone called 120 to ask someone to save his mother.
This was a memory that He Shu deliberately forgotten, but it resurfaced during hypnosis.
He Shu was immersed in a deep dream, and before his eyes was the terrible sound of the doctors inducing vomiting on his mother.
No one cared about him at that time. He was only wearing a small vest, barefoot, with dirty tear marks and snot on his face, looking at the doctors and his mother who was in so much pain on the bed that she could hardly hold him.
Ma Anqi looked at He Shu's trembling body and crying voice, knowing that this was a reaction to his inner fear.
She began to comfort and guide him. Perhaps He Shu just happened to recall how his mother got better afterwards, and his tense body gradually relaxed.
Ma Anqi then guided him to talk about some things in his childhood, some happy ones and some that left a deep impression on him.
Through hypnosis, we connected to some very important experiences during He Shu’s childhood.
In the intermittent guidance, He Shu kept talking about his childhood, his junior high school and high school.
Things that He Shu thought he had forgotten or didn't care about were actually just his own self-protection mechanisms.
