Chapter 35, Self-Closure
Chapter 35, Self-Closure
Under the introduction of Professor Zou, Lin Luxian worked as a security guard at the Municipal Museum, and could get a fixed salary of 3,000 yuan per month. Although the salary of this job is not high, it is easy after all. Lin Luxian goes to work at 8 o'clock every day when the museum opens, and leaves work at 5:30 p.m. when the museum closes, and he does not have to work the night shift. Professor Zou also helped Lin Luxian find a single room near the museum for the convenience of his work, and Lin Luxian didn't dare to go back to his aunt's house to live, he didn't want to communicate with anyone now, he just wanted to be quiet for a while. Lin Luxian is like this, wandering around the museum every day, looking at the crowds coming and going in the museum, repeating the same life day after day.
A year later, as time went by, Lin Luxian had slowly forgotten about Lan Bingyun, Xiao, Zhu Xinyan, Dian Pu, and Ao Yi. But he still thinks of these people sometimes, especially Lan Bingyun. It's just that when he thinks of these people again, Lin Luxian's heart is already very calm! Sometimes when he thinks of these people, thinks of the things he has experienced with them, and then thinks about his current life, Lin Lu only feels that the past is like a dream! Perhaps, these people have never appeared at all, and the things that have been experienced with these people are just his own imagination... Because, since these people left him, they haven't appeared again, and they haven't left anything for Lin Luxian. And Lin Luxian's life was not affected because of these people. The most important thing is that he no longer dreams of the cylindrical tower... He is still the same as before, poor and alone.
And the reason why Lin Luxian thought that Lan Bingyun and the others were just imaginary was because of an incident that happened not long ago!
A month ago, Lin Luxian found an injured cat in an alley, the cat had an injured front foot, a hole in it, and was bleeding. Lin Luxian thought that he had the ability to heal wounds, so he gently stroked the injured cat and soothed its emotions, "Good, good, kitten, don't be afraid, I'll help you heal the wound." ”
Immediately afterwards, Lin Luxian gently held the cat's injured front paws and covered the wound on the cat's front paws. After about ten minutes like this, Lin Luxian opened his hand, but found that the wound on the cat's front paw had not healed, but it stopped bleeding for a while, and Lin Luxian's hands had been stained with some cat blood, which had coagulated and stuck to Lin Luxian's hands. And the hair on the cat's front paws also stuck to Lin Luxian's hands because of the blood that flowed out. Although Lin Luxian carefully took away the cat scratch that was stuck to his hand, he still touched the wound on the cat's paw! The cat struggled on Lin Luxian's hand like crazy due to the pain, and scratched a few cuts on his hand, and then broke free from Lin Luxian's hand and escaped... But Lin Luxian didn't care about the scratched wound on his hand, he just smiled stupidly, "It seems that all this is just my imagination, I don't have the ability to heal the wound at all, what Lan Bingyun, what Yun Tianhyun, what thirteen-story tower in my dream... All of this is just my imagination, I have always been just a useless ordinary person... Huh!"
During this year, Lin Luxian also often went to listen to Professor Zou's lectures, but he was always unable to concentrate. And in order to cheer up Lin Luxian, Professor Zou was also heartbroken, and he also introduced Lin Luxian to a few female friends of the same age as him, but the result ended with Lin Luxian being dumped, they all felt that Lin Luxian was too silent, too cold, and being with Lin Luxian was like being with a stake...
That night, Lin Luxian had a dream.
In the dream, he was already in his forties, but he was still a bachelor! He rented an old-fashioned house and lived as a security guard, earning a meager salary of 3,000 yuan a month. Subsequently, he wandered around the square alone, aimlessly and idlely. Suddenly, he is attracted by a group of beautiful girls dancing in the square. This group of young girls in short skirts looked youthful and lively, and they danced a fashionable modern dance happily. Lin Luxian slowly got closer to watch, but found that one of the girls was so familiar! Yes, it was Lan Bingyun! Lin Luxian stared at Lan Bingyun excitedly, but he didn't dare to step forward. Lan Bingyun's jumping posture is so energetic and fascinating... But Lin Luxian didn't dare to think about it, he was now a middle-aged greasy uncle...
After the dance, Lan Bingyun left with this group of dancing girls, and Lin Luxian could only look at Lan Bingyun's departing back from a distance... Then, he stepped forward to the place where Lan Bingyun was dancing just now. On the ground, he picked up a bow, and on the bow, the word Lan Bingyun was written. Lin Luxian carefully picked up this bow and held it in his hand, he thought to himself that Lan Bingyun would still come tomorrow!
In a blink of an eye, the next day, Lin Luxian hurriedly rushed to the square, carrying the bow left by Lan Bingyun in his pocket. After arriving at the square, Lan Bingyun and a few girls were still dancing, and Lin Luxian finally put his mind at ease and quietly watched Lan Bingyun dance on the side.
Lan Bingyun was about to leave after dancing, so Lin Luxian had the courage to chase after him, "Little girl, you, your things have fallen, I, I will give it back to you." Lin Luxian lowered his head, not daring to look at Lan Bingyun's eyes, he took out the bow from his pocket and handed it to Lan Bingyun. Lan Bingyun smiled and said, "Thank you!" Then Lin Luxian turned around and left without looking back, Lan Bingyun shouted behind him, "You just go!"
Hearing these four words, Lin Luxian instantly slowed down, but after a few seconds, he immediately sped up his pace again! With his back to Lan Bingyun, he quickly disappeared into the crowd. He can be Lan Bingyun's father at this age! He left quickly, but he was still thinking about these four words, "You just go!" He understood, what if he didn't leave, what could he do, what could he do if he stayed, Lan Bingyun in the dream didn't know him at all, but it was okay.
Lin Luxian opened his eyes, this dream still woke up! Fortunately, it was just a dream, but after waking up, Lin Luxian was even more lost.
Lin Luxian looked at his phone, it was only 3:40 in the morning at this time, but he knew that no matter how he slept next, he couldn't sleep anymore.
Lin Luxian sat on the bed, and waited until the alarm on his mobile phone rang at seven o'clock in the morning, and Lin Luxian began to brush his teeth and wash his face listlessly, and began to prepare to copy everything from yesterday. But today, it's really different!
At ten o'clock in the morning, an open-top sports car stopped at the entrance of the city museum, and a pair of young men and women, about the same age as Lin Luxian, got out of the car. The man wore a pair of sunglasses, a finger-thick gold necklace around his neck, and leather shoes made of crocodile leather on his feet. He hugged the girl who got down from the co-pilot, and at first glance she was a rich second generation! This girl was quite Sven, wearing tight jeans, a pair of glasses, and long wavy hair with a shawl, she should be the girlfriend of the rich second generation.
After entering the museum, the rich second generation hung out behind his girlfriend. The rich second generation himself is not interested in everything in the museum, but his girlfriend, who studies history, has to come here to watch. The girlfriend of the rich second generation observed carefully in the museum, and every glass display case was not spared. But the rich second generation was already impatient, and he began to fidget, looking around, and spit the cigarette butt in his mouth on the ground.
"I'm sorry sir, you can't spit cigarette butts here, please pick them up. Lin Luxian came over and said to the rich second generation
But the rich second generation didn't pay attention to Lin Luxian, just glanced at him, and then took out a cigarette and lit it and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I'm sorry sir, smoking is not allowed in the museum, please go outside to smoke!" Lin Luxian raised his voice slightly
When the rich second generation heard this, he was anxious, he threw the cigarette in his mouth on the ground, and yelled at Lin Luxian, "What do you want to do with Lao Tzu? I don't even look at your identity! I actually let Lao Tzu go out to smoke?" The girlfriend of the rich second generation hurriedly came over and said to the rich second generation, "He's right, the museum is a public place, how can you smoke in it?" Pay attention to your own quality!"
As soon as he heard that his girlfriend had helped a security guard to guide him, the rich second generation was even more angry! He pointed at Lin Luxian and scolded, "What are you! A security guard is just a security guard, and he actually dares to point fingers at Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu is still smoking here today! What can you do with Lao Tzu!"
The people around the hall were attracted by the sound of the quarrel, and they all stood in the distance and pointed at the rich second generation. Seeing this, the girlfriend of the rich second generation hurriedly said to the rich second generation, "Why are you unreasonable! You smoke in public, and the security guard comes over and says what's wrong with you? What's wrong with letting you go out to smoke? Is there anything wrong? Aren't you ashamed to make a lot of noise here! Just because you're a little bit of a bankrupt?" After saying that, the girlfriend of the rich second generation walked out of the museum in a rage, looked for a taxi on the side of the road and left.
When the rich second generation saw his girlfriend leaving him, he felt embarrassed in front of everyone, so he pointed at Lin Luxian and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you kid, you have a kind! You wait for Lao Tzu!" and then left the museum.
The rich second generation got into a sports car, started the engine, and wandered around the street. But half an hour later, he had just driven the car to the door of a KTV, and when he was attracting the attention of many girls, he received a call from his colleague Xiaoyin: "Hey, Xiaohua! Where are you? Come back quickly! Mr. Dong has come to pick up his car! Where did you drive his car?"
Xiaohua panicked and hurriedly returned, "What?!" Didn't Mr. Dong go to another place and won't come back until tomorrow morning?"
"Mr. Dong's itinerary has been changed, and he will go to the field tomorrow afternoon! Before Mr. Dong arrives at our repair shop, you come back quickly! If he arrives at the repair shop ahead of schedule, sees that his car is not there, and tells the boss, you kid will be in trouble!"
Xiaohua hurriedly drove the sports car and rushed all the way to the car repair shop where he was. Fortunately, he rushed to the repair shop before Mr. Dong arrived. After getting off the sports car, Xiaoyin hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?
"Hey, don't mention it! Let a security guard mess up, I'm so angry! I have to take revenge! Xiaoyin! Hurry up and contact a few partners! I'm going to loosen my muscles and bones for that kid in the museum today!" Xiaohua said angrily
At half past five in the afternoon, after the museum closed, Lin Luxian was about to walk home, less than a mile away from the house where he lived, and he could see it with the naked eye. Just as he left the museum about a hundred meters, a van behind him came from behind and stopped in front of Lin Luxian. Five people got out of the car, all holding a wooden stick in their hands! The leader was the "rich second generation" Xiaohua! Xiaohua pointed at Lin Luxian and said, "It's him! Everyone beat him up for me!"
Before Lin Luxian could react, he was hit in the head with a stick, and blood flowed! Lin Luxian held his injured head and curled up in a ball on the ground. But the five Xiaohua were unrelenting, punching and kicking Lin Luxian on the ground, plus a wooden stick to serve! Xiaohua beat Lin Luxian with a wooden stick, and at the same time kicked Lin Luxian with her foot, and muttered in her mouth, "I'll let you talk more! I'll let you spoil my good deeds! You lie down for Lao Tzu!". This road also caused many people to watch from afar, but no one stepped forward to stop it for a while, Lin Luxian couldn't help but look at the crowd of people who stopped to watch and came and went in the distance, his eyes were full of helplessness and despair...
After a while, Xiaohua and the five stopped beating Lin Luxian, and Xiaohua pointed at Lin Luxian on the ground and mocked, "Are you still nosy? Look at you! Lose weight, like a skeleton monkey, and still be a security guard? I advise you not to be a security guard, look at the people on the street, they are all laughing at you! Hahahahahaha!"
But at this moment, several women passing by stepped forward and angrily scolded the five Xiaohua, "If you don't stop, we'll go and report to the district management!" One of the women hurriedly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and was about to make a call, and the five Xiaohua hurriedly left in a van.
Several women helped Lin Luxian, who was in pain, with a blue nose and swollen face, up from the ground, "Young man, it doesn't matter, let's take you to the city hospital!" Lin Luxian waved his hand, "No need, much, thank you, I'm fine... ”
Limped back to the old-fashioned house where he lived, Lin Luxian pulled up his trouser legs, his right foot was swollen by a wooden stick, but fortunately did not hurt his bones.
Lin Luxian cleaned his face, and after he bandaged the wound on his head with gauze, he stood in front of the mirror and was stunned, looking at himself with a blue nose and swollen face in the mirror, thinking of his current situation, Lin Luxian's tears couldn't be stopped... After crying for a while, Lin Luxian wiped away his tears, he didn't want to go downstairs to eat, and he didn't know how to cook. He could only take out a packet of biscuits from the cabinet and tear them open, but when he tried to open his mouth to eat the biscuits, the corners of his mouth and cheeks were torn! He threw the biscuits on the ground and stomped on them! Then he fell on the bed in a daze...
The next day, Lin Luxian still insisted on going to work with his pain, because he still had to survive! He couldn't lose this hard-won job! He thought to himself, he was unlucky enough now, no matter how unlucky he was, where could he be unlucky?
After getting off work, Lin Luxian met yesterday's van downstairs in the private house, and the five Xiaohua still got off the car with wooden sticks. Xiaohua looked at Lin Luxian and said, "Yo! Can you still walk, can you still go to work! It seems that we were beaten lightly yesterday! Brothers, come on! This time I want to see who will come to help you!"
Lin Luxian turned around and wanted to run, but the lump on his foot had not subsided, he ran with a limp, and was caught up by Xiaohua and a few people before he ran a few steps! Xiaohua and a few people pressed Lin Luxian to the ground and said, "Run! You run again! I want to see how you go to work today!"
The five of Xiaohua began to beat Lin Luxian again, Lin Luxian could only hold on to the wound on his head, close his eyes and grit his teeth and endure it... But before a minute passed, he felt that Xiaohua and the others had stopped beating him, and the screams of Xiaohua and the others were heard in his ears.
After Lin Luxian slowly opened his eyes, he saw the five Xiaohua people lying on the ground moaning in pain, and a burly strong man was facing away from him. This strong man is one meter eight or five tall, and he is facing away from Lin Luxian at the moment, slowly walking towards the little flower that fell to the ground and groaned. Xiaohua's face was full of fear, and she struggled to roll and crawl away from the ground. And not far from the strong man, there was a young man, the young man was wearing a dark blue night suit, and his appearance became more and more blurred, until, Lin Luxian couldn't support it and fainted...
When Lin Luxian woke up again, he was already on the bed in his room, Lin Luxian was sore, he sat up from the bed with great difficulty, and came downstairs. There was no one downstairs, no vans, no little flowers, no strong men, no teenagers in dark blue clothes, the only thing there was, only the pain of his own body...
Lin Luxian remembered the scene before he fainted, this strong man, and this young man in blue, were so familiar! As if they had known each other before, but for a while he couldn't remember who these two were.
"Is this another dream?" Lin Luxian said to himself
