Ghost Love Yesterday Once More
Screenwriter: Island
Dedicated to Gong Li
My name is Ye Se, and I come from Ye Village. I studied hard since I was young and was admitted to university. For a child from a poor and remote area, this is a dream come true. After I finished my medical studies, I stayed in the city and opened a private clinic. The business was good. After paying for food and rent, I could still save 8,000 or 9,000 yuan a month to send to my parents in the countryside. My dream is to save as much money as possible, either to build a villa for my parents in Ye Village, or to build a five-story building with a storefront on the street in the city. There is only one thing that worries my parents, saying that I am almost 30 years old, still unmarried, and I don’t even have a girlfriend to fall in love with.
That evening, I received a call saying that Gong Lei fell from the fifth floor, broke all her bones, and was unconscious. The road in Gongjia Village where she lived happened to be blocked, and I was asked to rush to save her life.
On the way to Gongjia Village, I couldn’t help but recall Gong Lei, my female classmate. That was 9 years ago at Donghua University. Gong Lei and I were in the same class, majoring in forensic medicine. At that time, Gong Lei was young, beautiful, tall, fair-skinned, and from this city. Her parents worked in the CPPCC, so she was a popular beauty. The school also listed her as a school beauty for training. She was indispensable in hosting competitions and provincial beauty pageants.
But after I graduated from school, I started my own business for many years, but I heard that she is still unmarried.
I parked the car in a parking lot in great confusion. But the road ahead was blocked, so I took a shortcut to get to Gongjia Village quickly and prepared to cross a Baishi Mountain. But soon after crossing the mountain, I regretted it very much. I never expected that the stone steps of this mountain were not straight in a straight line, but a mountain road in the east and a small path in the west, winding around and intertwining with each other. At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and I couldn’t find passers-by to ask for directions, so I walked around and never got out of this Baishi Mountain.
"When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waiting for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times
…"
Suddenly, a sad and romantic song came from the dark mountains. It was "Yesterday Once More" sung by the Carpenters in the 1980s. I still remember that when I was in college, I was obsessed with music and practiced pronunciation skills, so I knew many world famous songs very well, especially this "Yesterday Once More". In addition to liking to listen to it, I also covered it and recorded it once.
I couldn't help but walk over following the music.
There was a shallow lake hidden among the rocks, and a woman in white was sitting cross-legged on a white rock beside the shore. Her long hair was coiled behind her head, and the hairstyle on her forehead was blown high. She sat cross-legged with her jade-white face, holding a pipa in her hands, playing with her slender fingers, and singing the world-famous song "Yesterday Once More" with her lips slightly opened...
I felt a bang in my head, the god of love came, and Cupid shot me an arrow. I recognized that her appearance was exactly the same as Gong Lei. I couldn't help but recall those scenes at Donghua University. When Gong Lei drove a Jaguar sports car into the campus, the boys on the side of the road were like frightened sparrows, staring at her with gray eyes. Then, she stepped down her slender white lace legs, stepped out of the car, stood next to the Jaguar sports car, slightly tilted her head towards me, and glanced at me. Suddenly, I was deeply trapped in the quagmire of love, so sweet and full of hope, but I rationally understood my situation. This is the hell of love.
Suddenly, Gong Lei stopped playing and singing. She tilted her head slightly and looked at me with a pair of misty eyes. When I was shocked, she seemed surprised too. Then she tilted her mouth, half of her white teeth, and said to me: "If I remember correctly, your name is Ye Se, and your master is the Jeet Kune Do master Zhou Yi?"
"How do you know I know martial arts?"
"Hehe... Do you remember the carnival 9 years ago? I put on the White Bone Demon mask and was downstairs in the observatory. Master Ma brought two Vietnamese gangs to harass me and tried to violate me. It was a man wearing a clown mask who showed up and used Jeet Kune Do to drive them away. Later, I hired a private detective and found out that the man was you."
"I didn't think about it. You knew it was me. No wonder you often looked at me in the crowd later."
"Yes, you are very handsome."
"Actually, you know," I smiled bitterly and finally said, "I have always liked you secretly."
"This is why I am still unmarried." Gong Lei said. After Gong Lei finished speaking, she reached out her right hand and grabbed a white mask, put it on her face, then stood up and walked towards me. She ignored my shock and grabbed my hand with her right hand and led me forward. I didn't know what to say, so I let her hold my hand and walk along the stone steps and the mountain road. I was confused. Who called me an hour ago and said that Gong Lei was in trouble, and why did he lie to me? But now, I am trapped in the beautiful scene of meeting Gong Lei, my mind is in a trance, my imagination is flying, and I don't know what to ask. Since Gong Lei likes to hold my hand quietly and walk with me in the moonlight, let her be romantic. I walk alone to appreciate the moon like a poet, watching the mountain scenery on the roadside, the shadows of the trees, and the mountain wind penetrating my bones. I can't help but think of "Infant Bell" in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". Oh, if I were the protagonist Pus!
The road will eventually end. When a row of country villas appeared in front of me, one of the villas had two white cloths hanging on the left and right sides of the door, and a white soul-calling banner. I was instantly awakened. Could it be that someone in this family died, so they were hung with funeral supplies?
Instantly, a 60-year-old man walked out of the house and walked towards me quickly. When he got closer, he sighed and said, "Yese, you are too late. My Xiaolei didn't hold on and unfortunately died."
I was horrified and woke up suddenly. I realized that there was no one around me. Gong Lei, who had held my hand before, disappeared like air. The old man in front of me, if I was not mistaken, should be Gong Lei's biological father, Mr. Gong Jingsheng. He said that "Xiaolei" was dead. I don't know what he meant? I was at a loss as Gong Jingsheng led me into the hall. After a few steps, I entered an elegant room and saw a dead woman lying on a couch. Her face was damaged and blood was still all over her body. Next to her was an old woman crying. She was Gong Lei's mother, Yang.
I walked over in a daze and looked at the body carefully. I was instantly at a loss and shocked, because the dead person on the bed was none other than Gong Lei.
Then who was the stunning woman who met me earlier, walked alone under the moon with me, and had a romantic encounter with me?
鬼恋Yesterday Once More
编剧：海岛。
献给巩俐
我叫叶瑟，来自叶村，自小勤读，考上大学，这对于穷乡僻壤的孩子来说，颇是一件实现梦想的事情。后来我读完医学专业，就留在城市，开了一家私人诊所，生意尚好，每月除了吃喝，交付房租，还能剩个八千九千的钱，寄给农村里的父母。我的梦想是，尽量多存点钱，要么在叶村给父母盖座别墅洋房，要么就在市里街上盖座带店面的五层楼房。唯独有件事让父母挂心，说我都快三十岁的人了，至今未婚，连个谈恋爱的女朋友都没。
这日傍晚，我接到一个电话，说是巩蕾从五楼摔下，浑身骨折，昏迷不醒，而她所住的巩家村适逢路堵，要我速速赶去救命。
我开车去往巩家村的路上，不免回忆起巩蕾这个女同学。那是在9年前的东华大学，我与巩蕾同班，读法医学专业，当时的巩蕾年轻貌美，肤白高挑，并且还是本城市的人，父母都在政协上班，所以是个受人追捧的大美女。学校也将她列为校花作为培养，什么主持比赛，省级选美，都少不了她的份。
但后来我从学校毕业后，单身创业多年，却听说，她也至今未婚。
我十分纳闷地把车停在一个停车场里。但前面路阻厉害，我为快点抵达巩家村，就选了个捷径，准备翻过一座白石山。但翻山不久，我就十分后悔，万万没有料到此山的石板阶梯并非直成一线，而是东一条山路，西一条小径的，弯来绕去，互相交错，而此时天色渐渐黑了下来，我又找不到路人问路，于是走来走去的始终没能走出这座白石山。
“When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waiting for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times
……”
忽然暗黑的山里传来一阵忧伤浪漫的歌声，正是上个世纪80年代卡朋特乐队演唱的《Yesterday Once More》。还记得我读大学时，因为迷恋音乐，苦练发音技巧，所以对诸多世界名曲了如指掌，尤其是这首“Yesterday Once More”，我除了喜欢听，还翻唱录制过一回。
我不由得循着音乐漫步踱了过去。
山石掩映间，竟有一浅水湖泊，岸旁一白岩上，还盘膝坐着一名白衣女子。她的长发盘卷在脑后，额顶的发型高高吹起，玉白侧脸，盘膝而坐，双手环抱一个琵琶，纤细的手指弹奏着，并檀口轻启，演唱着这首世界名曲“Yesterday Once More”……
我感觉脑际轰然一震，爱神降临，丘比特给我射了一箭。我辨认出，她的外貌形象竟然和巩蕾一般无二，我不由得回想起东华大学的那些场景，当巩蕾驾驶一辆捷豹跑车，驶入校园，道旁的男生全像受惊的麻雀，以灰溜溜的眼睛盯着她看，然后，她迈下修长的白蕾丝长腿，步下汽车，伫立捷豹跑车旁边，微微朝我侧头，惊鸿一瞥地看了我一眼，顿时我就深陷于爱的泥沼中，那么甜蜜，充满希望，但我又理智的明白自己的处境，这是爱情的地狱。
忽然，巩蕾停止了弹奏唱歌，她轻轻侧头，斜视过来，一双雾水朦胧的眼睛朝着我看，在我震撼的时候，她似乎也很惊奇。之后她嘴角一斜，半片白牙，檀口一启，竟然对我说：“如果我没有记错，你叫叶瑟，你的师父是截拳道大师周易？”
“你怎么知道我会武功？”
“呵呵……还记得9年前的那次狂欢节么？我戴上白骨精面具，在观星台楼下，马少爷带着两个越南帮徒骚扰我，企图侵犯我，是一个头戴小丑面具的人出现，使用截拳道，赶跑他们，后来我雇佣私家侦探，得知那个人是你。”
“我倒没想过，你知道是我，难怪后来在人群中，你经常会看我。”
“是的，你很帅。”
“其实你也知道，”我苦涩一笑，终于说：“我一直偷偷喜欢你。”
“这是我至今未婚的原因。”巩蕾说。
巩蕾说完，右手往旁一探，就抓起了一顶白色面具，戴在脸上，然后站起，朝我走了过来。她不顾愕然震惊的我，居然用右手抓住我的手，然后带我前行。我不知道该说什么，任由她拉着我的手，顺着石板阶梯，步过山路，心有疑惑，一小时前给我打电话，说巩蕾出楼祸的是谁，为什么要对我撒这个谎？但现在，我身陷邂逅巩蕾的美丽场景中，神思惝恍，遐想翩翩，根本不知该询问什么。既然巩蕾喜欢这么静静拉着我的手，一同月色散步，那就任她浪漫吧，我有如诗人一般赏月独行，观看路边山景，树影婆娑，山风渗骨，竟然不由自己的想到了《聊斋志异》的《婴铃》，唉，如果我是主角Pus就好了！
路终归会走完，待前面出现一座座乡间别墅时，其中一家别墅，门前左右挂了两条白布， 并有一个白色招魂幡，我瞬时惊醒，这家人莫非死了什么人，才会满挂丧事用品？
瞬时，屋里走出一名六旬老者，朝我快步走来，待走近，叹声道：“叶瑟，你来晚了，我家小蕾没撑住，已经不幸而亡了。”
我听了毛骨悚然，赫然惊醒，方始察觉身边空空无人，先前拉着我手的巩蕾，竟然有若空气一般，消失匿迹了，而面前老者，若没认错，当是巩蕾生父巩经生先生，他说“小蕾”已死，不知何意？我却茫然受巩经生引路，步入厅堂，走了数步，进入一间雅致房间，目睹一张榻上横躺一具女子尸身，其面额破损，浑身仍有血迹，旁边则有一老妇恸哭，乃是巩蕾之母杨氏。
我失魂落魄走过去，仔细看尸体，瞬间是六神无主，惊天霹雳，因为目下床上的这个死人，不是别人，正是巩蕾。
那么前面和我邂逅，一同浪漫，月下独行的绝色女子，她是谁？
