Dream.

As a college student at the beginning of the new century, I have experienced the crowding of the talent market such as the vegetable market, experienced the loss of being rejected in countless interviews, and finally found a job that was only enough to make ends meet. Zhao Yang looked back at these two words, and the once glorious has turned into rusty now.

Wish.

Every day of mechanical work, overtime, and off-duty, two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhao Yang has changed jobs for the first time, Dong Chen Trading Co., Ltd., a company opened by his senior brother Dong Hai, who is two terms higher than him. This job change brought him not only an increase in salary, but more importantly, Dong Hai's experience made him see the hope of life! Yes, the dream is dead, but fortunately, there is hope.

Power.

Zhao Yang always thought that these two words were very far away from him, but when Leng Gongzi from the capital made his senior brother's tens of millions of companies disappear with a single sentence, he knew that these two words are not only the ability to choose a better school when he goes to school, and the ability to enter the unit that he envy after graduation, or the way to make profits that everyone knows, but also the most difficult weapon in the world to resist!

Dong Chen's company went bankrupt.

Senior brother Dong Hai died in a car accident on the way to the hospital.

Disappointed.

……

Despair.

……

Bewildered.

……

Zhao Yang dragged his salute into the waiting hall and stepped on the train home in May, when it was still cool in Huanghai City.

T160 still carries forward the tradition of departing on time and arriving late, arriving in Qiyuan City at 3:10 p.m. 70 minutes late.

Buy a long-distance bus ticket to take the bus to Yuanshui County, and arrive at 6:15 p.m.

Zhao Yang looked at the sky, fortunately, it was dark late in summer, and there should be a car to Yulong Town.

At this time, a young man with a travel canvas bag leaned over and said, "What about the eldest brother waiting for the car?" Name? Brother Wang Quanyi, get to know you! ”

Zhao Yang sat in the car for ten hours in a row, and he didn't speak at all, but just nodded.

Wang Quanyi looked at Zhao Yang with small eyes concealedly, and then said, "Look at the temperament of the eldest brother, he must be the boss of the business, right?" ”

Zhao Yang frowned and said: "If there is anything, just say it, don't bother me if it's okay!" ”

Zhao Yang is also the sole supervisor of Dong Chen's company, and he has developed a little momentum over the past year. When Wang Quanyi saw it, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Okay, when I see the boss, I am happy!" In this way, how many antiquities are there here, I wonder if the eldest brother is interested? ”

In recent years, the collection has become popular, and the local Yulong Mountain belongs to the Huai Mountain Range, from a large aspect, backed by the Yellow River, facing the Huai River, on the Kunlun Dragon Vein; From a small aspect, Yulong Mountain is surrounded by two peaks, a Yulong Waterfall on the mountain, forming a valley river in the middle, showing the pattern of backing the mountain and holding the water, so there are many ancient tombs on the mountain, and they have been attacked by thieves recently, so there are many antiques on the market, of course, there are still many fakes.

But Zhao Yang was not too enthusiastic about this, he said decisively: "I'm not interested!" ”

Wang Quanyi smiled: "Don't, big brother, you take a look at your brother's goods first!" ”

He opened the canvas bag and put it in front of Zhao Yang's eyes, leaned closer and whispered: "Just out of the nest, guarantee the authenticity!" ”

Zhao Yang glanced at it, and there was a book in it, seven or eight cups and jars, all of which looked like they were old.

Wang Quanyi patted his chest and said, "We are all villagers, don't worry, I Wang Quanyi will never lie to you!" ”

Zhao Yang didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and said directly: "I'm not a boss, and I don't have money to buy your baby!" ”

Wang Quanyi said with a smile: "Why do you have money or not, big brother, you take a look first, maybe there is someone you like!" ”

Zhao Yang saw that the car had not yet come, so he reached out and took out the book, and there were four seal characters written on the cover: "On the Book of Life and Death", opened the first page, and the beginning read: "There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun." The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. He looked down again and continued: "Turned into a bird, and its name is Peng." Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it ......" turned to the last page, only to see that it was written: "There is a big tree in this son, and it is useless, why not the tree in the land of nothing, the wilderness of Guangmo, wandering almost without its side, and at ease."

Sleep under it. Those who do not die and do not harm things, have nothing to use, and are in trouble! ”

This is Zhuangzi's "Getaway"!

Zhao Yang looked at Wang Quanyi amusedly and said, "This is your antiquity?" ”

Wang Quanyi's eyes flashed with embarrassment, and he said with a straight face: "Big brother, this book and these treasures are all in the same nest, and they are all antiquities of the Ming Dynasty!" Speaking of the author Xiaoyaozi, you may not pay much attention to it, he is a person from the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Yangming is in the same era! Wang Yangming knows, right? Generation, ideology, and the art of war! And Xiaoyaozi was as famous as him at that time, a generation of hermits, good at medicine, good at books, good at writing, ......"

Zhao Yang said with a smile: "Copying Zhuangzi's "Getaway" is also called good writing? ”

Wang Quanyi's eyes rolled and laughed: "This cover may have been added by later generations, haha, but this word is really good!" ”

Zhao Yang looked at it again, although he could only read his own characters, he could still see the quality of calligraphy. The words on the book are flowing smoothly, in one go, and at a glance, it makes people feel comfortable, and it is indeed a good word.

Wang Quanyi observed his words and said, "It's getting late, so, if you like it, big brother, take a thousand yuan!" ”

Zhao Yang put the book back without thinking about it, and walked away with a salute.

He didn't have a hobby of collecting in the first place, and now Wang Quanyi actually wanted to sell him "Getaway" for only five yuan a copy at a price of 1,000 yuan! Zhao Yang felt that he would buy it unless his brain was short-circuited! 1,000 yuan is a month's salary when I just graduated, and it's not a small amount of money now.

Wang Quanyi hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Big brother, don't be in a hurry to leave, let's discuss it again!" ”

Zhao Yang took a small step back, frowned, and said, "The car I'm waiting for is here, you can sell it to someone else!" ”

Wang Quanyi saw that there was really a bus that was about to fall apart, he gritted his teeth and said: "Today's last business, I'll make a friend at a loss!" One hundred, no less! ”

The car stopped beside Zhao Yang, and he put the salute on first.

Wang Quanyi said: "Fifty! Fifty is always fine! ”

Zhao Yang sighed and said, "Twenty, I'll buy it at twenty!" ”

Wang Quanyi said: "Thirty! ”

Zhao Yang got into the car directly, Wang Quanyi hurriedly handed the book to him, stomped his feet and said, "Twenty is twenty!" ”

Zhao Yang took the book with a smile. This bargaining skill was still practiced when I just graduated, when the salary was small, but there were always a few hundred left every month, and the money was saved from bargaining.

Red tomatoes, golden eggs, green and red peppers with green in the red, served in the sea bowl emitting an attractive aroma, even the soup with water to eat a mouthful of sweet and sour appetizers, plus a bowl of hand-rolled noodles with wheat fragrance, Zhao Yang ate heartily.

After eating, his mother Sun Zhenxiang cleaned up the table and bowls, and his father Zhao Bingxing smoked a dry cigarette and asked, "What are you going to do in the future?" ”

Zhao Yang cleared his throat a little unnaturally and said, "I'll help take care of the orchard at home!" ”

The father glared and said, "What? What do you say? ”

Zhao Yang stubbornly said: "Dad, you are also old, I will help you take care of the orchard first......"

The father coughed, and Zhao Yang hurriedly went over to help beat his back, but it was opened. My father said angrily: "I smashed the pot and sold iron for you to go to college, just to let you go home and farm?" Yes! ”

Zhao Yang's heart was gloomy, in fact, he didn't know what to do now.

When his mother heard his father and his grandfather hurriedly walking into the house, she said, "Lao Zhao, what are you fierce?" The child has the child's thoughts, do you listen to the child first! ”

Zhao Yang didn't know how to tell his parents, so he had to say: "Work is not going well, I want to rest at home for a while." ”

The mother said distressedly: "It's not easy for a child to be outside alone, so it's good to rest at home for a while!" ”

The father snorted and said, "If you want to go home, go home, just take care of your family affairs!" ”

Zhao Yang smiled bitterly. Since the year he graduated, his parents called him the most to ask if he had a partner, and after returning home, he took turns bombing, and in the past two years, it has become the only topic of communication between his parents and him. He is 26 years old this year, but according to rural customs, he is already 28 years old!

The mother clapped her hands and laughed, "Yes, it's just done!" Son, don't worry, mom will find you a beautiful daughter-in-law! ”

Zhao Yang smiled bitterly: "Mom, this matter is not in a hurry, right?" ”

While thinking about the suitable girl in the village, the mother said, "Why not hurry? You're not in a hurry, your mother is still in a hurry! Come, son, tell me, what kind of girl do you want to like? ”

Zhao Yang said in a stiff tone: "You don't care about this matter, I'll handle it myself!" ”

The mother said: "You are my mother's child, I don't care who cares?" ”

The father walked directly back to his room, and said as he walked: "Good college students go home and farm, and you will know what to do when you are tired of working hard!" ”

……

At night, Zhao Yang stayed in the orchard.

Zhao Yang's orchard is at the foot of Yulong Mountain, with a total of ten acres of land, planted with peaches and apples. Now that the peaches have borne fruit and are soon ripe, the apples have just bloomed and are only the size of a tiny fingernail.

As soon as Zhao Yang entered the orchard, he heard a dog barking.

A house was also built in the orchard, with walls and courtyards, and five houses out of the building, which was very popular in the countryside.

Zhao Yang opened the door and entered, and a black shadow pounced in front of him. This is the puppy that his family only picked up during the Chinese New Year this year, Xiao Hei. Black's parents are tall wolfdogs with long fur and squatting like lions. Now Xiao Hei is half a meter tall.

Lowering his head and touching Xiao Hei's head, Zhao Yang opened the door and entered the house, put down his salute, he took soap and towels and walked through the orchard towards the mountain, Xiao Hei was also following him happily, running around under his feet.

There is a well in the orchard, but it is not as comfortable as bathing in the river. Walk four or five hundred meters up from the orchard to Yulong Waterfall. There is a naturally formed waterhole below the waterfall, which the locals call the Dragon's Den.
