Chapter 3 Shoot yourself in the foot
Walking back to the gate of the cemetery from the tombstone of Chen Tao's parents, although the noodles were injured on their hind feet, they did not ask the old man to hold them. It slowly walked in front of Chen Tao and the old man, looking back from time to time, yawning lazily, and then waiting for Chen Tao and the others to get closer, and then continued to walk forward.
Xiao Tuanzi found a little friend who could only see himself and understand his own speech, and he was very happy, and directly buried his little body in the fluff on the neck of the dough piece, and hugged the dough piece very noisily for a meal.
Chen Tao was not in a hurry, he accompanied the old man to stay behind, looked at the noodles and dumplings, and chatted with the old man.
When he walked to the gate of the cemetery, the old man had basically figured out Chen Tao's situation. Chen Tao also knew that the old man's surname was Xu Mingding, and there was a grandson at home who was not doing his job.
The dough squatted on the edge of the gate. Xiao Tuanzi looked at Chen Tao with a wink, and asked pitifully, "Chen Tao, can we take the noodles with us?"
Chen Tao frowned and glanced at Xiao Tuanzi. For Xu Ding, the noodles may be closer than relatives. How could he make such an ignorant request.
Tuanzi stuck out his tongue knowingly, rubbed his face against the dough, and after reluctantly saying goodbye, he flew to Chen Tao's shoulder with his face down and sat down, holding up his cheeks sullenly.
The noodles turned their heads to look at Chen Tao, and also rubbed the leg of his trousers, raising his fleshy little paws and waving at Xiao Tuanzi, as if saying goodbye to it.
Xu Ding looked at the harmonious interaction between Chen Tao and the noodles, and looked a little hesitant, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and only asked Chen Tao to leave him a communication number and address.
Chen Tao faintly sensed Xu Ding's intention to ask him to leave his contact information, but since Xu Ding didn't explain it thoroughly, it was inconvenient for him to ask again. However, when he said goodbye to Xu Ding, he said seriously: "Grandpa Xu, if you have something, please feel free to contact me." ”
Xu Ding sighed softly, nodded, and turned around and walked back to the cemetery.
The noodles "meowed", waved their little claws at Chen Tao, and followed Xu Ding.
Chen Tao watched Xu Ding and the noodles walk away before walking towards the parking lot.
After getting into the car, Chen Tao set up an autonomous driving route to return home from the cemetery. After the army vehicle started automatically, it slowly drove out of the cemetery.
Chen Tao is under the age of 18 and cannot take the driver's license test yet. His parents are sometimes unable to take care of them due to their work, so they went to the relevant department a long time ago to file a route for minors to ride in autonomous vehicles alone. However, the route between the cemetery and his home was made by himself after the death of his parents a year ago.
The car drove smoothly on the road. On the light screen of the dashboard in the car, the program of Dizhou Radio and Television Station is playing. At this time, what is being broadcast live is a program that specifically recommends the latest songs of local musicians in Dizhou this week, "Dizhou Music Qingyun List".
Located in the central region of the Cape planet, Dizhou is the political, cultural and economic center of the three continents in central China, and is also one of the most important living continents of the Chinese people. The Huaxia accounted for 78% of the Dizhou, the Germanic accounted for only 15%, and the Altaic, Semitic and other ethnic groups accounted for even less. Therefore, the official language of Dizhou is Huaxia. Of course, Germanic is also one of the main languages spoken in the Imperial Continent.
Dizhou Radio and Television Station is one of the mainstream media of Dizhou. The Cape Federation has long since entered the era of universal networking. Since the NE10, the federal co-governance government has newly formulated and promulgated the "Federal Media Law", which has fully integrated the channels and resources of all traditional media and online media, so that the people of the whole federation can watch and download their interested, film, television and music works on the officially designated publishing platforms through various terminals.
The "Dizhou Music Youth List" is one of the important programs launched by the Dizhou government to support local musicians and culture. In addition to the "Dizhou Music Qingyun List", there are also "Music Plain Clothes List", "Music New Talent List", "Music Golden Melody List" and so on. The top 10 works in each continent list can automatically participate in the intercontinental list selection as intercontinental selection works.
At this moment, in the light screen of the car, the bright hostess smiled and introduced: "The next recommended song is the theme song "Deep Pupil Light" produced and sung by female singer Amy Chanrich Chen Yiqing for the upcoming fantasy movie "Verdict". ”
The camera then switched to the handsome male host, and continued to laugh and joke: "As we all know, the fantasy movie "Verdict" is adapted from the latest online novel "Verdict" by the famous lazy writer Seventy-Two Whips. Its update speed is so slow that book lovers can't help but whip it up to seventy-two lashes. ”
Hostess: "Hehe, then I can put "Verdict" on the big screen this time, and I hope all book fans and friends can get some comfort." ”
Host: "Yes. Let's go back to the song "The Light of the Deep Pupil". Chen Yiqing has a wide vocal range and strong explosiveness. And the song's epic prelude is majestic and sounds textured. ”
Hostess: "Moreover, we can see the extraordinary special effects of the movie "Verdict" from the MV of this song. The song hit the charts when it was released this week, earning 3872512 downloads and ranking sixth. Below, please enjoy the sixth work of this week's "Music Green Cloud Chart", released by Dumpling Rain Studio, and sung by Chen Yiqing "The Light of Deep Pupils" Note 1. ”
As the host's voice ended, the accompaniment slowly sounded. In the music video of the song, the overcast sky is covered with snowflakes like goose feathers, and the vast land is covered in endless snow. In the distance, on the snowy horizon, several black dots appeared. As the camera zoomed in, the black dots were a line of riders galloping wildly. Seven black knights escorted an old man in the center with a sick little boy in his arms, and a beautiful woman dressed in white.
At this time, the first measure of the song's intro has been smoothly advanced, and the drum beat suddenly becomes intense, and the whole song immediately feels like it is on fire.
"A light binds the night, subverts the noble blood,
If it weren't for the evil heaven, the pupils wouldn't change.
Disguise everything with a smile, the oracle can't withstand the verdict,
Even the gray sky blurs the vision.
The horn sounded, and the war horse stepped on the requiem.
The curse will not be dispersed, in the name of heaven?.
The color of the deep pupils will not be silent,
Magic shines as beautiful as fire,
How to smile too,
Face the fear of dying. ”
……
Tuanzi flew directly in front of the car's light screen, shaking his head and listening to the song, already jumping out of the sadness of being separated from his new acquaintance.
Chen Tao listened for a while, then leaned back in the chair, quietly looked at the lights outside the car window, and fell into deep thought.
Three years ago, when he woke up in his hospital bed, he felt like the whole sky had fallen. At that time, he was reluctant to speak, let alone see people. I stayed in the ward every day and didn't want to go out, just watching the world outside the window in a quiet daze. This stay lasted for half a year.
In those six months, if it weren't for the careful care of my mother and the careful persuasion of my father...... Seeing that his parents were becoming more and more emaciated and giving birth to a new life because of him, he felt more and more guilty and self-blamed, so he accepted the irreversible truth and began to integrate into a new life.
didn't expect that just two years later, his life would encounter another big change. With the death of his parents, the sense of belonging that he had just cultivated gradually faded. Then, he felt that he had really become a passer-by in this world, getting by every day, and not pursuing anything. If it weren't for his parents before they died, he had promised them that he would live well, and he had a good brother by his side who really cared about him. He even had the idea of dying to try to see if he could return to the trajectory of his previous life.
But now, now that he knows that his car accident was not an accident, he will never allow himself to live in a state of confusion again.
A chill flashed in Chen Tao's eyes. No matter who that person is or what he is plotting, he will never let go of the person behind the scenes, and he must expose the truth of the accident and seek justice for himself.
It seems that it is time for him to make himself strong.
Chen Tao retracted his gaze looking out of the window, and when he turned his head sideways, he saw that Tuanzi was listening to the song, and he was no longer willing to watch, but jumped on the dashboard, twisting his little body with the music. The round mass kept spinning and jumping, and it really made people close their eyes and couldn't bear to look at it directly.
Chen Tao raised his eyebrows and glanced at it, and exclaimed, "It's really good to dance." Anyway, the beat on the hand is accurate. ”
Tuanzi stopped, pouted angrily, and said, "Don't think that Ben Meng can't hear that you are hurting me." ”
Chen Tao smiled, turned down the volume, and said, "Ermeng, let's talk about the 'Star Dream System'." ”
"Ermeng?" Tuanzi's focus was obviously focused on its new nickname, blinked and thought about it, and said very stupidly and innocently: "I know! Because my name is 'Shuai Meng Meng' and there are two 'Meng' characters, that's why you call me 'Er Meng'." After speaking, he straightened his small chest, and looked proud, "I'm so good, you can praise me".
Chen Tao laughed out loud, nodded and praised: "That's right, that's the reason." ”
"Since you've given me a nickname, I'll give you one too. Tuanzi scratched his head and snapped his fingers, "My name is 'Ermeng', you will be called 'Sanshou'!"
Chen Tao's smile suddenly froze on his face.
This......
Chen Tao understood what it means to "lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot".
