Chapter 3: A Turning Point in Life

It's the end of another year, the new year is coming, and there is still a month left before the annual leave.

This month is the hardest time, because everyone's heart is not working, and their heart has long since flown home.

At the thought of going home for the New Year, Li Haoping was suddenly very entangled in his heart. To go back or not to go back, go back, I didn't earn any money and I was afraid of my father's scolding. If you don't go back, I'm afraid that the people in the village will say that you are not filial and will not go home for the New Year.

In the end, I still made up my mind to go back, and the lyrics sang well:

If you have money or not, go home for the New Year

There is always Chinese New Year's Eve food at home......

Hey, let's go home.,I always have to work hard before the New Year.,Still go to work as a dick.。

Three days before the Chinese New Year, the owner called us together. In fact, there is no need for the boss to say, everyone knows what the boss has to say.

It's nothing more than the New Year, let everyone take a few days off, pay attention to safety on the way back, and so on. But even if you know, everyone is quiet.

Brother Wang said: "Everyone has worked hard this year, and it will be the New Year in three days, and I think everyone is looking forward to going back to reunite with their families." But I still need to say that I should pay attention to safety when I go home for the Chinese New Year, especially when setting off firecrackers. Don't take a vacation, I heard someone say that so-and-so is missing arms and legs. ”

The group of people below laughed, but the boss still didn't say anything. After all, it's the New Year, and he doesn't want to scold us, so let's have a happy New Year.

"Now, start paying your salary. We will not owe you wages, but we will give you an additional 200 yuan in red envelopes per person, and I will be rewarded for doing well this year. Let's disperse, and come to the office one by one when I read the name later. ”

The big guys have all received it, and they are laughing and talking about what they want to do and what they want to eat when they go back for the New Year.

But I just didn't read my name, and I was inexplicably angry in my heart, and the boss wouldn't want to deduct my salary. When I was looking down and depressed, my best brother Li Yongbin came up with a large sum of money on his phone. Said:

Xiao Lizi, why didn't I see you go to get your salary, won't you go to the boss to take off your salary?"

"How do I know, just wait and ask the boss. ”

Xiao Lizi is the nickname that Li Yongbin gave me, if it was someone who helped me choose it, I would have been mad a long time ago, but he is my buddy, so I won't bother with him.

When I was about to leave, Brother Wang called me.

"Come with me to the dormitory, I have something to say to you. ”

I was depressed at the time, I didn't pay my salary in the office, why did I go to the dormitory? But I still didn't say it. Like a child who made a mistake, he lowered his head and followed Brother Wang.

When he arrived at Brother Wang's dormitory, he turned his head and said:

"Do you know what I called you alone?"

I shook my head, indicating I didn't know. But I scolded in my heart: I am not a roundworm in your stomach, how can I know what you think in your heart, if you know. It would be a pity that I didn't become a prophet. ”

"You see you're a year older, and it's time to understand something. Go home for the Chinese New Year and buy something to go back to your dad, no matter how much trouble you have, your dad is your relative after all.

These are your wages, and I don't want to deduct your wages. I'm just talking to you, if there's anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me. After all, we came from a young age, and we have traveled more than you. ”

In this way, I took my salary, said goodbye to Brother Wang's colleagues, and my best brother Li Yongbin and embarked on the journey home.

I bought some of my dad's favorite wine, smoked cigarettes, and food, and took the car home. As soon as I got home, I saw my dad at the door, like he was waiting for something.

"Dad, I'm back",

Dad gave a faint look.

"You're back! I thought you weren't coming back?"

In fact, I know that although my father said so, he hoped that I would come back soon. After all, before I entered the house, I saw that my father was waiting for me to come home, so I lingered at the door.

I didn't say anything, I nodded. I followed my dad into the house and saw a favorite meal cooked on the table. Without saying a word, I started to eat a lot, after all, I haven't eaten my father's craft for a long time. It's still a little nostalgic to stay outside for a long time, I've eaten it before, and now I come to eat it again, and it feels much better than before.

Dad saw me eat so recklessly, and instantly smiled happily. But that smile quickly disappeared, but I caught it.

My heart is happy, this is what it feels like to be at home. Why didn't I find out before, maybe I'm a little more sensible!

The sound of firecrackers, noise, and laughter on Chinese New Year's Eve. Everyone's favorite thing is this atmosphere, watching the red New Year's greetings on the door of every house. There is a feeling of surging emotions and the urge to relax myself.

But I had to stay at home, because there were still a lot of things to do at home. I was busy cleaning, pasting couplets, cooking and many other things, and I was so busy that I was overwhelmed. I can't help but call me a miserable person.

Hey, life is either happy or busy, and finally all the things are done.

However, it was almost dark. I could only look up at the beautiful fireworks in the sky and think about my future path. While I was pondering, a few classmates from our village and a few of the big brothers from the village came to me and said that I had something good to do tonight and wanted to take me to play. They were secretive, and when I asked them anything, they wouldn't say. So I had to follow them, and when I arrived at the entrance of the village, a big brother at the head said, "Are all the people coming, the time is almost up." ”

This man looks like a lewd person, and he looks like a little ruffian who drank and fought together in society when I was still studying. But I didn't say anything, just silently stood in the crowd.

It felt like a small gathering before a group of ruffians were going to fight, and there were about 10 people, and a few of them were from neighboring villages and didn't know each other much.

The man at the head saw that everyone was almost there, and began to set off.

I wasn't so scared along the way, and there was always a joke from time to time that "the ghost is coming". At first, I can still scare one or two guts, but I won't be afraid of the last one. No one makes such boring jokes anymore, and everyone quietly goes their own way.

This is a road that leads to a road called "Black Witch Mountain", and I have only walked a part of it. When I was a child, I often heard adults say, "This mountain was inhabited by a group of dark wizards for a long time"?

Dark wizards were wanted by the government in the past during the Republican period, and the government always believed that they were spreading evil magic and trying to take the lead in rebellion. So they had to hide in the mountains, and no one knew what they lived on, what they ate, and what they wore. But there are also people who say that they have seen them, and they are dressed strangely, with long black cloaks up to their heads, but no one has seen their faces.

Later, people gradually forgot about it, and only knew that there was such a legend.

So it was later named "Black Witch Mountain". But this is just a legend, and no one has ever seen it. I also think so, if there are dark wizards in this world, they are not like in blockbuster movies that can control people to be puppets and do whatever you are told to do. Do they still have to hide in the mountains?

In this way, we walked for more than 4 hours on the mountain road, and finally arrived at the place they said had good things. But as far as the eye can see, this is a large forest with dense trees, and you can't see the edge at a glance, but you can get in by this road.

Someone shouted:

"What kind of hell is this place, how is it the same as being afraid of ghost movies"?

"Yes, yes, yes, is there any treasure here?"

"I think we'd better go home! It's almost 12 o'clock this big night, and my parents won't go back to worry about it."

The man at the head frowned and said, "With your point of interest, you dare to say that you are not afraid of heaven and earth, and you will definitely not be able to achieve great things in the future." Later, there will be more excitement, if you are afraid, you can go back, and if you are not afraid, follow me.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, nodded, and still followed. After walking for about 10 minutes, a large hole was found under a huge root, which was connected to the tree. You can imagine how big this tree is, I've never seen a tree this big anyway, except for those rainforests on TV.

But the tree in front of you is not in the rainforest, but in the alpine region. So everyone was stunned by the big tree in front of them, and after a while, everyone calmed down and looked at the big hole in the root of the tree, and no one passed.

Because all this in front of me is too shocking, beyond everyone's imagination, and beyond common sense. In fact, everyone was scared in their hearts, and I felt the same way.

After about 20 minutes, someone finally stood up and said, "Let's go in and have a look, it's hard to say what treasures there are?" He was the brother of the man in the neighboring village, and the man nodded his head in agreement with his statement.

The man who spoke took the lead into the hole, and this hole could enter one person at a time. I followed, and there was nothing in the cave, and it was pitch black. Everyone turned on the flashlight, and everyone brought their own flashlight before it came, because if they didn't bring it at night, it would be inconvenient to go out.

It was a deep, deep hole, and no one knew what lay ahead. A few older people walked in front, and I also walked in front, and the cave was very spacious, and I could walk about 4 people in a row.

After walking for a long time, I finally saw traces of someone living there. It was a small mud house of less than 10 square meters, with several tattered stone tables and wooden stools, as well as some other household items that we had not seen before. Everyone was stunned to look at this,

Everyone lifted their spirits and began to rummage around, like a group of robbers robbing houses, for fear of missing something good.

I didn't look through it, I walked around the room a few times to see if there was anything special. Finally, a red pattern like snowflakes was found on an earthen wall.

Just as we were rummaging through things, a voice rang out in another dark chamber.

"Master, someone found out, what should I do".

Then another weight-bearing and powerful voice spoke

"Hahahaha, someone finally found out, I'm not far from the day of resurrection".

His voice was like the voice of a demon from the eighteenth layer of hell, and it was particularly ugly.

But I didn't know that it was because I discovered this pattern and became someone else's tool.

Suddenly, when I looked at the pattern in a daze, the pattern glowed blood-colored, and in an instant my head felt like something had been in it. Then I felt a flower in front of my eyes and fainted.

I fainted and frightened, and the people who came with me, they rushed over and helped me up. Then he took turns carrying me home, and they told me when I woke up.

My mind went blank as I fainted, and then rivers of blood appeared before my eyes. A man appeared in the river of blood, a shadow to be exact, turned his back to me and said, "Do you want to be the man who stands at the top of the world? Do you want to break your current life? I can help you, as long as you drop your blood in this river." ”

I looked at the dark shadow in front of me in horror and said, "Who are you, why am I here, what do you want to do?"

Then the shadow said, "Do you want to know that all those who know me are dead, and if you promise me, I will tell you, and you will not die yet." And I told you that it was in your dream, and I knew you wouldn't believe it, so I was the only one who did it myself, whether you wanted it or not, I still had to help you. ”

I only saw something in his mouth, and then I had a big needle in my hand, and I was out of my control, and I took the needle and stabbed it into my finger.

I shouted, "Fuck off, what did you do to me, let me go, I don't need you to help me." I can do it myself,"

Then I punched it, but I didn't hit anything, only to hear the hellish demonic laughter coming from the river of blood: "Hahahaha, don't let me down, we'll meet again." ”

I shouted as hard as I could: "Don't, don't!"

Fuck off, you come back to me, what do you mean!"

"Plum, plum, plum, wake up, what's wrong with you," my father shook me with tears in his eyes.

Still screaming in my mouth, I opened my eyes and saw myself lying on the bed, looking at my emaciated father.

"Dad, where am I, why are you here, Dad, go quickly, there are bad people who want to harm us. ”

At this time, Dad was even more anxious.

"Silly boy, are you having nightmares again, you're in a hurry to kill me, I thought you wouldn't wake up, do you know how long you've been asleep?"

"How long did I sleep?"

"Three days, you've slept for three days, don't you know. ”

"Dad, what are you kidding, didn't I just sleep one night?"

"Do you think I'm joking?"

"You don't know, I asked a doctor to see you, and the doctor said you were tired and fell asleep. So at first I thought you were really tired, so I fell asleep. But the next day you didn't wake up, so you made me very angry, and I didn't wake up until today. ”

Listening to my father's words, I remembered what the dark shadow said: This is in your dream, you want to help me and so on.

Did I really sleep that long? No, I didn't see that picture that night......

My head hurts, why can't I remember?

My father saw me like this.

"If you're hungry or not, I'll bring you food, and I'll take you to the doctor after eating." ”

I touched my stomach and was really hungry.

"You don't need to go to the hospital, don't you think I'm fine?"

"Really? But ......"

What else did my father want to say, but I stopped:

"It's really fine, don't you see I still know that I'm hungry. ”

It's a good feeling to eat my father's cooking.

After the meal, I was taught not to go to such a dangerous place with those little ruffians, I just smiled and nodded.

I heard that those friends who went with me were criticized by my father, and I later learned that it wasn't all their fault, I was also at fault, my foot was mine, and no one pulled me if I didn't go.

But I always think back to that dream, whether it was real or not. I haven't talked to anyone about it, and I'm afraid to say it, and they'll think I've watched too much TV.

In the days that followed, I slowly found that I was much different than before, but I can't say what was the difference, maybe it will be fine in the future!

No one knows what happened that night, why I fainted, why did I sleep for so long?

Li Haoping didn't know that it was that night, and his life in the future had undergone earth-shaking changes. I have become infinitely powerful, my memory is super strong, everything has matured too much, and my personality has changed, but that's all for later.

It was this night that Li Haoping's life changed, it should be said that he was changed.
