Chapter 1 No. 48 Tianxing Road
Kyoto, heavy rain, thunder and lightning in the sky.
This heavy rain came suddenly, and the weather that was clear one second changed suddenly the next. Cheng Chen finally understood why it was said that June became faster than turning a book.
Cheng Chen, a young man who has just graduated from Kyoto Clinical Medical College, has no car, no house, and no object.
Cheng Chen, who could have been admitted to a first-class medical university, had a mistake in the volunteer system, and his family's funds were not enough for him to tutor for another year, so he was finally forced to come to Kyoto Clinical Medical College.
Kyoto Clinical Medical College is said to be the most prosperous Kyoto in the country, but it can only be blown in the countryside where you don't know anything, but if you put it in Kyoto, everyone knows that it is just a broken specialty that can no longer be broken.
It's just that Cheng Chen studied clinical medicine, not to mention a serious hospital, and even the small clinics in the township, when they heard that they came out of Kyoto Clinical Medical College, they all turned Cheng Chen away.
To put it bluntly, Cheng Chen worked hard in Kyoto for three years, but finally got a college diploma that was not even as good as waste paper.
So much so that now, I can only live in a dilapidated building outside the Fifth Ring Road, where the storage room has been changed to less than a few square meters, and I can't stretch my legs when I sleep, take the subway for more than two hours every day, go to work as a dishwasher in a restaurant during the day, get a salary of 1,000 yuan a month, and go home at night, frantically submitting my resume on the Internet.
But I don't have any work experience after graduating from a junior college, and even in a private hospital, it is difficult to find a job. And after the one thousand paid the rent, there were only two or three hundred left for Cheng Chen, and he couldn't even eat.
The rain was very heavy, Cheng Chen was soaked, he couldn't open his eyes because of the rain, he probably found a direction, and rushed forward like this.
It's already more than ten o'clock in the middle of the night, because of the heavy rain, the last subway ride home has been gone for a few minutes, Cheng Chen doesn't want to go back tonight.
Grandma, this God, do you have to play with me like this!
Cheng Chen wiped a handful of water from his face, and ran with some resentment, as if he wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction over the years.
However, it is not a wise thing to run outside in such a thunderstorm.
Although it is much better than where Cheng Chen lives, there are still no buildings around, and there is not even a lightning rod.
"Smack!"
A dazzling flash of light fell in front of Cheng Chen, looking at the purple lightning with an arc in front of him, Cheng Chen's pupils shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, sitting on the ground in fright, trembling all over, his eyes full of horror.
The lightning was only a meter away from him, and Cheng Chen had already felt the paralyzing sensation coming from some of the stagnant water under his feet.
He was just dying.
There was another thunderstorm in the sky, and Cheng Chen was so frightened by this thunder that he was a little scrambled to stand up, and almost fell to the ground.
Oh my God, I didn't just complain a little, did you scare me like this!
However, Cheng Chen didn't dare to think about it anymore at this time, and fled in a panic, for fear that the lightning just now would give him another blow.
He is different from those immortal cultivators in the novel, if he is really struck by lightning, Cheng Chen will really die in the world.
I don't know how long I ran, but I felt that the rain seemed to be a little lighter, and Cheng Chen slowly stopped, panting heavily.
After raising his head, Cheng Chen was a little stunned.
"Where is this...... The corners of Cheng Chen's mouth twitched slightly, he looked at both sides of the road, and looked for a long time before he saw an extremely dilapidated road sign.
Tianxing Road.
It's not so much a road as a narrow alley, and you can see from the old buildings on both sides that it was once very prosperous.
Looking at the appearance next to it, it should have been changed into a tourist area now, Cheng Chen looked around with some surprise, and walked forward slowly.
"This place doesn't seem to be bad..."Cheng Chen muttered in his heart, looking up and down, "But how come I've never heard of Tianxing Road before." ”
Just when Cheng Chen was gradually relaxing, a thunder in the sky made Cheng Chen startle, and he reacted that his most important purpose now was to find a place to hide from the rain.
However, it is surrounded by closed merchants, and although it still retains the old architectural style, the eaves are a little dilapidated, and it is not able to protect from rain and lightning at all.
Finally, a courtyard that looked like a large family in the past appeared in front of it, and a small stone tablet was erected at the door, which was chicly engraved with the words "wanton pick-up".
The copper-colored door with its elaborately carved lion-head knocker is exactly the style of the last century, and it seems that there is still a wooden deadbolt inside.
The steps of the doorway seemed to have been untouched for a long time, and had become round and smooth under the rain, and even began to grow slippery moss.
"It's actually traditional Chinese characters...... Cheng Chen glanced at the stone tablet and slowly raised his head.
This seemed to be the only place where there was hope for him to hide from the rain.
After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Chen slowly stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker, which was already a little rusty, making a squeaky sound.
For a long time, no one opened the door. Thinking that it might be because of the thunderstorm at night and the thunderstorm was not good to hear, Cheng Chen knocked on the door a few more times, but there was still no response.
The rain was heavy again. The lightning in the sky also began to roll along with the lightning and thunder, and after Cheng Chen hesitated for a moment, he gritted his teeth and walked gently to the courtyard wall next to him.
The courtyard wall was not high, and Cheng Chen easily climbed over it, tiptoeing around, like a thief.
Climbing over the courtyard wall of other people's houses without authorization, there is always a little weakness.
Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be anyone in the yard, judging from the trees and rockeries in the garden, it should be a big family.
After coming in, he finally had a place to hide from the rain, Cheng Chen breathed a sigh of relief, found a place where the rain couldn't get wet, and gently wrung the water on his clothes.
Wring out the clothes, Cheng Chen just wanted to turn around and shake off the clothes, when he saw an old man standing behind him, with white hair and white beard, wearing an old robe that modern people would never wear, he was unusually thin, but he was very energetic, and his body seemed to be glowing with white light under the light of the moon.
The old man had a smile on his face, but Cheng Chen's heart was very flustered, and after being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly bowed to the old man.
"I'm sorry old man," Cheng Chen instantly felt a little embarrassed, "I... I didn't come in to steal, it's just that the rain is too strong, so come in and take shelter from ......the rain."
Cheng Chen explained to the old man in a hurry, but he felt that the more he depicted it, the darker he became, and the more ashamed he felt in his heart.
