The next day, I was called up by Zhang Xin at 6 a.m. to go to work at the print shop downstairs.

At six o'clock in the morning, the streets were swept by a few cleaners, and compared with the usual noise, it seemed lonely.

Accompanied by the sound of salad sweeping the floor, I turned on my computer and saw that today was June 3, 2010, two days after Children's Day.

After getting ready, I saw that it was almost twenty minutes before seven o'clock, when the streets were bustling with groups of students with school bags passing by one after another.

What kind of business can a print shop do early in the morning? I was leaning back in my computer chair and was in a daze, when suddenly, a man with yellow-haired hair who looked like a student burst into the store, threw a large bag in his hand on the table in front of me, and walked away.

Suddenly, I was dumbfounded, you didn't have any hair in junior high school, and you dared to be so fierce to me? I rushed out of the store, and as far as I could see, the black was overwhelming a sea of people, so I had to curse a few words in my heart and return to the store.

A large black bag lay quietly on the table, and I saw that it was indeed a fire, and I didn't want to look at it again, so I grabbed it and threw it directly into the trash can across the road.

Still not satisfied, I clapped my hands and spat at the trash can before heading down to the store.

Oh no, before I crossed the street, I saw that Zhang Xin had already gone downstairs to the store, if she saw me running around without dedication, I guess I would have to suffer another ideological education.

I hurried back to the print shop with a smiling face.

Zhang Xin didn't say anything, and pointed to the table: "Let's have breakfast." ”

When I saw a large bowl of black rice porridge on the table, I was almost moved to tears, and I knew that my instinctive impulse to believe her was not wrong.

"Don't mess around later, I'll go to the library."

"Boss, you go."

I slowly stirred the black rice porridge with a spoon, enjoying the cosy atmosphere.

The business in the print shop can be described in four words, "the door is full of birds", and it is not an exaggeration, next to our print shop is a middle school, and there are relatively few printed documents and the like on weekdays, I really can't figure out how Zhang Xin chose the address here.

Luckily, there is a lot of publicity in the neighborhood, otherwise I highly suspect that we are operating at a loss every day.

For several days in a row, it was this kind of carefree day, born in sorrow and dying in peace, I didn't think too much about everything about myself, but quietly waited for Zhang Xin to tell me about me, in fact, I hoped that she would not mention these things again.

I firmly believe that the root of fear comes from ignorance, and in the days to come, I am afraid that Zhang Xin will tell me something one day that I will not be able to accept at once, and I am even more afraid that my current carefree life will be lost.

I work step by step, and there is not much work in the print shop, and Zhang Xin often goes out to leave me alone in the shop.

Quiet life always passed quickly, and one morning three days later, I was disturbed by a few boring thugs.

At six o'clock, I vaguely felt sleepy, and sat in front of the computer with my eyelids propped up and took a nap.

Suddenly, several middle-aged people walked into the store.

At first glance, there were four people on the other side, and at first I thought it was a big customer: "Boss, what do you need?" ”

Led by a bald fat man topless with a big green tiger tattooed on his chest, he knocked on my desk and asked, "Are you the boss here?" ”

I think this situation is clearly the person who came is not good: "The boss hasn't come yet, what's the matter?" ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the bald head picked up a wad of white paper on top of the printer and slapped it in my face.

Originally, I was very angry in the past few days, and suddenly I was slapped again for some reason, and my head was hot, and I picked up the squeaky fan and threw it in the other party's face, regardless of how many people the other party was.

However, the other party did not fight back, and the bald man led by the leader shouted to the other three people to tear off the cable of the computer on the table and run out.

Annoyed and anxious, I strode to catch up.

The bald man is a fat man, and he runs relatively slowly, and I quickly caught up with him, and I really wanted to catch him and beat him up alone, but the computer was still in the hands of the three people in front of me, so I had to continue chasing despite the bald head.

Seeing that the distance was getting closer, the three people in front of them suddenly went into a small alley.

When I got to the entrance of the alley, I couldn't see their figures anymore, so I ran a few small steps, and there was a basket around the corner, and the computer was in it.

I picked up the computer in surprise and amazement, and heard an aunt's scolding coming from the upstairs room: "Three ghost cubs, they didn't study well at a young age, and they followed that old bald man to steal things again, right?" ”

"Mom, don't say it, I'll let him hear that we're going to be arrested."

At this point, I seem to understand that the three thieves were called by the bald man, and since the things are already in my hands, the three thieves are just that, but I still have to go to the bald man to settle accounts.

When I walked back with the computer, the bald head was gone, and it seemed that I was hiding, and I gradually calmed down from the annoyance just now, but suddenly realized one thing: "I ran out like this, but no one in the store looked at it, will the things in there ......?"

As I ran, I scolded myself for being so stupid, and I was turned away from the mountain.

But when I got back to the store, everything was still in place, and the broken electric fan slammed on the ground as if to cry out about what I had done to him.

I put the computer back in its place, and in frustration picked up the electric fan and plugged it in to see if it could still spin.

To my surprise, the electric fan can still run, but the squeak sound is becoming more and more obvious, this old thing is good, and I don't want to wipe you so clean, I thought with my hand gently on the top of the turning fan.

"What's wrong with the fan?" Zhang Xin came to the store at half past six.

"I just accidentally fell."

"Oh." Zhang Xin stopped talking, put a bowl of eight-treasure porridge on the table, and left.

Zhang Xin is a very good person, but he treats others, or simply treats me very well, which gives me a feeling of coldness.

She leaves early and returns late every day, I don't know what she went out for, and I just ask, it's not within my power.

I also worked diligently in the print shop every day, and even though the business was not good, I still cleaned the shop step by step.

In the next few days, Zhang Xin's attitude towards me gradually became gentler, and she spent less and less time going out, often sitting in the computer chair holding her newly bought books and chatting with me while reading.

"Do you think people can go back in time?" Zhang Xin looked at me seriously.

I was in the process of binding the printed papers, and I replied nonchalantly, "No, but I hope to reverse." ”

"Why?"

"If I could turn back the clock, I would be able to memorize the winning numbers and win the jackpot and become a rich man, so I don't have to ......." After realizing that I was leaking my mouth, I swallowed the remaining words into my stomach.

"I saw a paradox on the Internet about going back in time, which assumes that time can be turned back, a person goes back in time and then kills his grandmother, so that in chronological order, his grandmother has to be alive to have him, but then he goes back in time and kills his grandmother, which forms a paradox that he is still alive and he goes back in time and kills his grandmother, obviously, from the existing logic, this is simply impossible." Zhang Xin stared at me intently.

This paradox came to my mind, and I put the paperwork aside: "But you should also know about parallel universes or some other hypothesis, maybe that pair of paradoxes can exist in different universes, right?" And the topic you're working on is not feasible at all, at least for now, and it's better to see how we can improve the business of the store than to look back the clock. ”

Zhang Xin glanced at me: "It's nine o'clock, I'll go first." ”

After Zhang Xin left, I wanted to play a few cards online to pass the time, but I saw a strange card on the computer chair.

It was Zhang Xin who fell, right? I picked it up and looked at it, and then I noticed something was wrong.

On the reverse side of the card I picked up, I noticed that there was the word 2025 printed on it, and I said that Zhang Xin was the one who picked up this card with the word 2025 to talk about the topic of going back in time?

Or is it just a misprint or just a boring prank? The text on the card is basically some strange symbols, I don't bother to think about it, or return the card to Zhang Xin as soon as possible, and put it in my pocket.

At ten o'clock, it was time for me to get off work, and after knocking on the door for a long time, Zhang Xin opened the door slowly: "It's so late, what's the matter?" ”

"Your card is off." I handed her the card.

Zhang Xin almost snatched the card, said thank you, and then snapped the door shut.

I shrugged my shoulders and silently returned to my room.

The next day, when I opened the door, I saw a letter on the ground.

My first reaction was not to pick up the letter first, but to look around the outside, and see that there was nothing abnormal, so I picked up the letter and opened the brand new letter, which contained a piece of paper that read: Come to the top floor directly opposite you!

Not only is the handwriting sloppy, but the font is also crooked, and even several places have torn paper, this person should not be serious on the desktop, I wiped the handwriting on it with the back of my hand, a few ink marks on the back of my hand, just written?

At this time, I also noticed a photo in the envelope.

The first time I saw the photo, I went crazy and ran to the glass door of the restaurant next door and nervously looked at myself in the glass.

I touched my face and looked at the photo over and over again, and I was convinced that the person in the photo was me.

When I got back to the print shop, I looked up at the top floor directly across from the paper, and a person was now looking at me from the top floor and motioning for me to go up.

My hands began to tremble, and although I wanted to know what was going on with me, I didn't dare to face it, which was ridiculous.

I thought about it carefully, instead of passively waiting for Zhang Xin's sudden informance one day, it was better to know and adapt as soon as possible.

I locked the door of the shop and walked straight across from it.

Across the street was an old five-story house, and I managed to find the stairs in an inconspicuous place.

The staircase was dark, and the morning light did not overcome the darkness in the slightest, and my mind was complicated, and all kinds of chaotic images began to appear in my mind.

The moment I saw the light on the top floor, I felt deep fear, because of my ignorance of the unknown, right?

I made up my mind, the other party couldn't lie to me, that photo was similar to a headshot, but in my own impression I had never done such a boring thing, no matter what age, how could I do such a childish thing at my age?

After taking a few deep breaths, I squinted my eyes and walked up to the top floor to see a man standing by the railing looking at me.

As I got closer, the more I felt that this person looked familiar, but it was just a feeling, and in fact I might not know him at all.

The other person walked up to me and took off his sunglasses: "See you again." ”

Is it him? Transport drivers in Sun Electronic City? It was a big surprise to me.

"We met the other day." The other party smiled and stretched out his right hand.

The other party is about the same age as me, not tall but very strong, and his sparse beard adorns the standard Chinese face.

I stretched out my right hand to shake his hand, but the other party suddenly grabbed my arm, and I was caught off guard, and he couldn't move like an escort prisoner.

"What are you doing?" I scolded angrily, I wanted to shake his hand, but I didn't expect him to come like this.

The other party smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so stupid." ”

Stupid? My hands were controlled by him, and his strength was so great that I could not break free, and in a hurry, I suddenly bent down and threw myself forward.

He apparently didn't react, his hands let go, and I took the opportunity to break free from his restraints.

As expected, the opponent was very agile, and he actually rolled 360 degrees on my back and landed steadily less than two meters away from me.

I turned around and tried to run downstairs, when three other people appeared on the stairs, who looked like the three people who were in charge of the transportation that day.

I really can't figure out what I have a grudge against them, and why they are targeting me like this.

"You guys, what do you want to do?"
