Taihang Pass on Taihang Mountain, out of the pass for a hundred miles without seeing the mountain.

The folk proverb expresses very vividly, the towering Taihang stretches to the end here, from the southern foot of the Taihang Pass down the mountain is the great plain of a horse Pingchuan, the first stop along the road is the heart of the Central Plains: Zhongzhou City.

This is one of the eight ancient capitals, known as the "thoroughfare of Kyushu" and "the hinterland of China", the long history has left a lasting imprint, and the natural and cultural landscapes have been seen all the way, whether it is the incense of Zhongyue Taoist Temple or the hanging of Xuanyuan Hill; Whether it is the morning light of the Shaolin Ancient Temple, or the twilight of the Songyang Academy, whether it is the majesty of Zhongyue Songshan Mountain, or the mighty Yellow River of Jiuqu, you will clearly feel the vicissitudes of a thousand years. In this city where historical accumulation and modern elements are glued, what attracts the world more is the modern atmosphere here, the railway hub with three horizontal and three vertical, the highway artery that runs through the east, west, north and south, the air transportation network that radiates the whole country, the most advanced international convention and exhibition center in central China, the largest international commodity city, and the large shopping center that leads the business model, all attract visitors from all over the world, and the great transportation convenience has brought about the extreme prosperity of commerce.

The story takes place in this bustling city. The protagonist is an ordinary member of this city of more than 7 million people.........

The place where the story begins is a park, yes, it is in the People's Park in the middle of Zhongzhou Avenue in Zhongzhou City.

The time is the early morning of spring, when the morning breeze is slightly blowing, there is still a trace of coolness, blowing through the weeping willows by the artificial lake, the green willow branches are fluttering and swaying, reflecting irregular shadows on the wrinkled lake, the dark green lake water can not see the bottom, but you can see the fog and vapor that rises in the early morning, there are a few early citizens sitting on more than a dozen benches around the lake, or laughing, or taking a nap, or reading the newspaper with you, or holding the radio to listen to the sonorous fragments of Henan Opera, while following the humming while strolling along the lake in the fresh air.

It's a quiet and peaceful picture, if you are here, what will people think of?

In fact, in the high-paced city life, there are mostly middle-aged and elderly people who come here for morning exercises, you see the lawn not far away, there is a group of old men and old ladies waving the Tai Chi sword slowly, and behind the rockery, there is soft but cheerful music, that is the elderly Yangge team, the red and green costumes with the silver hair are very beautiful, and the silk scarf and water sleeves are festive. Even those who occasionally walk under the flowers and trees are middle-aged and elderly people in groups of three or five or in pairs. For citizens living in the city, perhaps only at this age do they have the time and leisure to come here to make up for the overdraft.

The story begins in this tranquil environment.........

Or put the lens back to the artificial lake, the gradually rising sun flashes on the surface of the lake, the green trees, the green water, the green lawn, the environment is a little springy, if you look at it casually, it is estimated that you will be slightly surprised by a young man sitting on the lakeside bench, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, sitting in a precarious position reading the newspaper and reading a little attentively, the cross-body shoulder bag is placed on the side, the expression is serious and the leisure environment here is very incompatible.

Just slightly surprised, people like this will immediately be ignored by the viewers, because this kind of young people dressed in Zhongzhou are all over the streets, including on the morning bus, either just graduated or have not yet been employed, maybe they are unemployed, otherwise they will not maintain a serious expression that does not match their age to read the newspaper, and the only explanation for being so attentive is to read: job advertisements.

That's right, I'm just looking at the job advertisement, it looks like there is no result as usual, the high-paid ones are not qualified, the low-paid ones don't want to go, the salary is right, and no one wants you to go. As always, the young man sighed at an untimely time, and was about to fold and put away the newspaper, when he was inadvertently attracted by a few uninvited visitors next to him.

It was three big fat men, who were walking in their own direction, with heavy footsteps, talking in a rough voice as they walked, and walked to the bench a few steps away, and the one on the far left sat on the bench with a butt, beckoning to the other two, and they were panting, and the wheezing sound was like the murmur of a broken bellows, whirring, and it seemed that they were tired enough.

This fat man has a meeting, and it is simply a collection of fat...... The young man who was watching bit his lip and squinted his eyes to eat and smile, secretly saying in his heart, for fear that this buddy would find out that his face turned to the side, but he still couldn't help but glance at this rare landscape. The beauties in the city are developing to demonization, and the men are transitioning to obesity, and this fat man is not strange, but this person is a little strange and strange, and the short and fat one sitting on the left is five short figures; The one sitting on the right was fat, leaning on the bench with the general's belly protruding and panting, complaining about how long and long the road was, but in fact, it was only a few hundred meters from the park gate.

was peeking at the kung fu, the fat one seemed to be the leader, complaining about the person on the left, so I heard him ask sideways: "File, is the news accurate?" It's been three days, and I get up early every morning, and the person I talk to has never been so diligent, what about people? ”

Oh, looking for someone? As soon as the young man saw that this file referred to the short and fat one, he wondered in his heart, this nickname was full of images, so he listened to the file cannon persuade the fat one next to him: "Brother Xu, don't worry, sincerity is spiritual, this matter has to be a coincidence, Gu Tiegua is a little half-immortal-like character, many people in our circle have looked for him, and it is quite accurate." ”

"It's really fake, have you counted the old meat?" The fat asked the fat one, it is estimated that this old meat is also a nickname, and it is quite an image, the two pieces of meat on the cheeks alone weigh a pound, but one side of the face is a big face full of meat, shaking his head and vetoing it, but it was the gods who led the topic to hearsay: "I haven't counted it, but I've heard of it, Brother Xu, do you remember to open the island coffee that Liu?" ”

"Not all died last month, everyone was cremated. Why mention him? ”

"Yes, that's him...... His Toyota is domineering or we are pouring it for him, I heard that this kid asked Gu Tie Hexagram a few months ago to ask about fortune, as soon as he saw the old man, he looked at his face, touched his palm, sighed in disappointment and left...... Hey? This thing made everyone confused, who knows that it didn't take long for Liu Mo to feel uncomfortable, and went to the hospital to check, hey, pancreatic cancer, it didn't take a month to have surgery, yes, people are gone...... Later, I learned that the old man had already seen that his life was short, so he didn't count it for him. ”

The fat old meat said vividly, with both form and spirit, and the fat Brother Xu seemed to be taken aback, staring at the big eyes and turning back to ask the file: "Really!?" Is that dead? ”

"Of course it really is...... It's not that he's dead, it's that the old man calculates that he won't live long, and people are embarrassed to say no...... There is something more mysterious, Brother Xu, do you know the mayor of Jinhe District, and he also came to ask for a hexagram, the old man really gave him a lesson, and said something 'there is no thoroughfare in front of him, and there is no turning back in the back', turned around and left...... I didn't know what it meant, and I sent the district chief away with just one sentence, and within a few days, guess what......" The guy at the file also said with the same look on his face.

Brother Xu, who was fat, was startled and blurted out: "It's dead again!?" ”

"No...... first double regulations and then double opening, entered, embezzled and corrupted, plus a few mistresses, all exposed, not much better than death...... Later, when the news came out, everyone figured out that 'there is no way forward, and there is no turning back' means that the girl has no way out...... Really, many people know about this, and they all convey it. "The file is also being painted.

", what are you, the head of the district can still know about feudal superstition?" Brother Xu Fei was questioning the source, and his eyes were full of bosses.

"Look at what you said...... The district chief doesn't know me, but his driver and I are small, or I don't know that we have this god in Zhongzhou...... As soon as I inquired, I found out that I was more divinely than I knew. The file tried his best to distinguish it, and the old man on the side echoed. It seems that both of them are holding this Brother Xu.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Brother Fat Xu couldn't sit still, and stood up and said: "Forget it, mom, one is dead, one is counted, and the other is counted, brother, I can't afford to lift my pants now, you want to toss me over, right!?" ”

"Don't, Brother Xu, we just said that the old man is quite accurate."

"That's right, Brother Xu, just ask if you touch us, if you can't touch us, you should come out to practice and practice, it's not a matter of being at home......"

"Sit, Brother Xu, wait a little longer......"

"Come, smoke a cigarette ......"

The two fat men forced the fat man in the middle to sit back on the bench, and the fat man continued to hold the meeting, that Brother Xu obviously had something in his heart, and he was nervous even smoking, and the young man sitting next to him heard the words "iron hexagram", "half-immortal", "sincere spirit" and the like, and guessed that this fat man came to the park early in the morning to find a half-immortal fortune divination. Listening to the fat man muttering that if you find the ancient iron hexagram, how to ask, how to test to distinguish the authenticity, don't be fooled. This is even more surprising to this young man, the more he listens, the more outrageous he feels, the more outrageous he feels, the more he speaks energetically, not only energetically, but also solemnly, it is said that this ancient iron hexagram looks at the yang house and the yin house, counts the man to get rich and ruined, counts the woman marrying the poor and marries the rich, and even the pregnant woman gives birth to a boy and a girl is accurate, which is more effective than that b ultrasound...... Hearing this festival, the young man covered his mouth and snickered, looking around in disbelief, except for the old man is the old lady, you say that here are all poor middle peasants in the city, some people believe it, say that there are half-immortals here, who believes it!?

But there are some things, the more you feel the evil surname, the more you develop to the place of the evil surname, the young man only thinks that this fat man is eighty percent hearsay has been blinded, ten percent of them want to pounce into the air, but unexpectedly, a cigarette kung fu, and a panting buddy came running, wearing a jacket and running in this direction, it seems that the fat man is all the way, and while running he happily pointed his hand back and shouted:

“…… Here it comes...... It's coming, it's really coming, it's really coming......"

The young man in the side seat was stunned, and also looked in the direction he pointed, he really couldn't hold back his curiosity, although Zhongzhou was big, and there were all kinds of birds, but he had never seen wings, could it be that he would really fly for a while.........
