1. The book of heaven where all wishes come true
"You're finally dead!"
Sitting behind the bar, Zhou Rui's face was a little dazed. The woman's voice that suddenly appeared in his mind was so clear, and quickly blurred and dim, as if it were just a hallucination.
Looking at the empty shop, he always felt as if something had just happened, but he didn't know what to say.
It's like something happens, but you forget it.
At this time, there was a "bang" sound from the bar in front of him, and a sharp voice sounded: "Zhou Rui, why are you getting more and more untutored, are I air when I talk to you!"
Zhou Rui raised his head and looked at the middle-aged woman sitting opposite, then he came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Mom, I seem to have a little auditory hallucination just now......"
"What kind of auditory hallucinations, you just take my words as a deaf ear. Don't think that Yun'er will be able to sit back and relax if she marries you, if it weren't for the high-ranking man who gave the two families a finger for marriage, with you, what qualifications would you have to marry my daughter! It's good now, looking at such a broken bookstore all day long, you can't even earn a thousand yuan a month, what can you use to support Yun'er? You can't afford a lipstick from her!" The woman relentlessly patted the somewhat dilapidated bar, completely ignoring that the bar was about to be broken up by her.
Zhou Rui showed a bitter look on his face, and he only lowered his head to listen, not daring to explain anything.
Sitting opposite was his mother-in-law, Song Fengxue, who opened a small clinic in Qingzhou City, although it was not big, but there was still an annual income of 1.8 million.
His father-in-law, Ji Zeming, is a professor of history at Qingzhou University. Compared with such a character, his junior high school education is no different from that of illiteracy.
As for his wife Ji Qingyun, she not only has a look and figure comparable to a big star, but also has been a top student since she was a child, and after graduating from university, she entered a large company, and became a middle-level manager at a young age, with an annual salary of more than 500,000 yuan.
And Zhou Rui himself, his parents died in a car accident when he was in the second grade of primary school, and he relied on the help of the Ji family to survive until junior high school.
His parents' affairs hit him too hard, and at the same time, he was sent to the fence at such a young age, and his personality gradually became cowardly and introverted, and he stopped going to school in junior high school.
In the eyes of others, he took the initiative to drop out of school because of his poor academic performance, but in fact, Zhou Rui didn't want to be said that he always spent the Ji family's money.
This bookstore is the only inheritance left to him by his parents, but in today's society, who will buy books? The business of the bookstore is getting worse and worse, and the net profit is not even 1,000 yuan a month.
What makes everyone incomprehensible is why Ji Qingyun would marry such a wreck. I don't know how many people are pointing fingers behind their backs, saying that Zhou Rui is a soft rice eater.
Zhou Rui knew a little bit about the reason, but he always felt that what the so-called master said was. What kind of Ji family has a disaster, without him, the family will be ruined.
Is it possible?
Now that the Ji family is thriving, how do you look good, where does it look like a disaster?
"I don't care what Lao Ji says, anyway, I won't watch my daughter stay in the fire pit all the time. There are three months left for the New Year, and I won't embarrass you, the two of you will divorce after the year, and I will give you 500,000 yuan when the time comes, and no one will owe anyone from now on!"
Listening to his mother-in-law Song Fengxue's words, Zhou Rui still hung his head and nodded sullenly.
Looking at his appearance, Song Fengxue was even more angry. How can such a wretched man be worthy of his daughter, and I don't know which tendon was confused at the beginning, and he would really believe the nonsense of more than 20 years ago!
"Waste, it's annoying to look at you!" Song Fengxue said, slapping a few old books on the bar to the ground, and then raised his legs and left.
Zhou Rui raised his head at this time, and the bitterness and grievance on his face were obvious. But what his mother-in-law said was the truth, and he was really not qualified to be with Ji Qingyun.
Despite being scolded like this, Zhou Rui stood up and sent his mother-in-law away.
Out of the store, Song Fengxue drove away directly.
"Scolding again?" asked a man in his thirties, standing in front of a beef soup shop.
Zhou Rui smiled bitterly, nodded, and was about to turn around and enter the house when a six or seven-year-old girl ran up to him from the store, blinked a pair of big eyes, and asked, "Brother Zhou Rui, can I come to read the book when I finish my homework?"
The man came over and picked up the little girl, and said, "How many times have I told you, I want to call uncle." ”
"It's okay Brother Wang, I actually hope to have a sister like Xiaoling. Zhou Rui said that after the death of his parents, his relatives no longer interacted with him, so he hoped to have a family connection more than anyone else. Just as he was about to talk to the little girl, Zhou Rui suddenly saw that there was a blood-red light on the little girl's forehead, which was very conspicuous.
"Xiaoling, your forehead ......"
"What's wrong with your forehead?" asked the little girl, touching her head.
Zhou Rui looked at her, and then at Brother Wang, who opened a beef soup shop, and asked suspiciously, "You can't see it?"
"What can't you see?" Brother Wang was also puzzled.
Zhou Rui didn't know how to explain, and he was afraid that he was hallucinating because of too much pressure, so he had to shake his head and say, "It's nothing, let her read the book after Xiaoling finishes her homework." ”
"Forget it today, I have to go back early to buy beef. Brother Wang said.
Zhou Rui didn't persuade much, nodded and went back to his shop.
After picking up a few books knocked down by his mother-in-law Song Fengxue from the ground, Zhou Rui sat behind the bar for a long time before gradually coming back to his senses.
At this time, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something more on the bar.
There were a few freshly cut walnuts there, but they weren't in good condition. Father-in-law Ji Zeming is very fond of this kind of cultural and entertainment things, and it will be his birthday after a while, Zhou Rui wanted to try his luck to see if he could cut out a pair of good-looking gifts.
In addition to the walnut, there is also a white ancient book placed next to it, and there are several obscure symbols, or words, on the cover.
Zhou Rui was sure that he had never seen such a text, but he clearly knew its meaning in his mind: "The Book of Morality, all wishes come true." ”
A trace of doubt rose in Zhou Rui's eyes, he didn't remember that he had such a book.
What made him even more strange was that when he looked at the book, he saw six golden rays of gold the size of rice grains hanging on the cover. To be exact, what the left eye sees.
If you close your left eye, you'll see that the bar is empty. When he opened it, the ancient book and the golden light were still there, which made Zhou Rui stunned.
He had a vague feeling that the sudden appearance of a strange left eye and the ancient books on the bar were related to what he had just forgotten. But no matter what he thought, he couldn't remember what he had forgotten, as if his memory had disappeared for a while.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Rui slowly stretched out his hand and touched the ancient book that only his left eye could see.
Amazingly, only one eye can see, but when you really touch it, it looks like substance.
The cover is like some kind of leather, warm and soft to the touch. But a book that gives people a touch as warm as skin is very strange in itself.
Curiosity overcame the others, Zhou Rui slowly opened the cover, but found that the inner page was blank.
He smiled wryly, what is this?
Looking down at the few walnuts in his hand, Zhou Rui sighed. If you give it to your father-in-law in such a good condition, you will probably be thrown into the trash on the spot, right?
But what's so fun about this kind of thing?
Picking up the walnut in one hand and learning to rub others in the palm of his hand, Zhou Rui picked up the strange book with the other hand, wanting to study it again.
The pages were still blank, and there seemed to be many pages, but in fact only one page could be turned, and the others seemed to be glued together.
Zhou Rui sighed again, feeling the green friction in his palm, and subconsciously remembered the introduction of walnuts.
What the best walnuts looked like and how to distinguish them flashed through his mind one by one.
At this time, Zhou Rui suddenly felt as if there was something more at hand, and when he looked down, he couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw a table of walnuts, all of which were amazingly big.
He was directly dumbfounded, why were there so many walnuts all of a sudden? At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the inner page of the wordless heavenly book, and a pair of walnuts were slowly emerging from the pages.
This picture made Zhou Rui almost fall off the chair.
Out of the book?
If you look closely, there is still a line of jargon on the page, which looks so familiar. If you think about it carefully, isn't it the introduction of the most perfect walnut in his mind that he just recalled?
So, what you have in your head comes true in this strange book?
