Chapter 1: Not the Past, but a Parallel World
"Meng Huo, Meng Huo, don't squat, get up, it's our class's graduation photo, if you don't get up again, Teacher Bai will scold!" An eager voice sounded in Meng Shu's ears, and Meng Shu was a little confused.
"Two dead otaku over there, come over here!" Another voice came from afar, Meng Shu shook his head and looked around blankly.
It's a dilapidated playground full of young kids in school uniforms, and some adults fiddling with cameras, as if middle school students were taking graduation photos.
Meng Shu looked at the little fat man beside him, a pair of black-framed glasses, and a submissive expression, just now it seemed that he was calling out to himself eagerly,
"Nerd." Meng Huo's eyes widened, isn't this Liu Yi, his third junior high school tablemate? He subconsciously sighed: "It's really a hell of a life." ”
"Ha Lu Ha ......" The people around laughed.
"What the hell! Hurry up, Teacher Bai's face has changed again, we have to hurry up and line up! Liu Yi pulled Meng Huo and easily pulled Meng Huo up with the strength of a child.
"Huh?" Meng Shu looked at his body in surprise, how did he get smaller, isn't this just like a junior high school student? Junior high school, won't it - Meng Shu hurriedly turned his head and saw a man with a blue face standing behind him.
The man slapped the list in his hand: "Meng Shu, can't you even give me a graduation photo?" ”
Bai Junhui, the head teacher of Meng Huo's third year of junior high school, and Liu Yi.
- Go back in time!
Meng Shu's head was stunned, he actually went back to the past. Graduation photo, today is the day of the junior high school graduation photo......
"Mom!" His face suddenly turned pale, isn't the photo of his junior high school graduation the day his mother had a car accident! He didn't have time to think about what would happen to him again, thinking that he must save his mother and never let the tragedy happen again. Meng was pushed away by Liu Yi and ran to the bicycle parking shed.
"Wait! Meng Huo, you don't want graduation photos! ”
The head teacher roared behind him, and Meng Shu glared back at him.
"Don't do it, go to your sister's graduation photo, take that kind of thing and feed it to the dog!"
All of them were stupid.
"Neurotic!"
"He's crazy!"
Looking at the back that was rapidly moving away, only Liu Yi was stunned, and the glance when Meng Shu turned his head surprised him: "When did he have this kind of look." ”
Meng Shu was usually as timid and cowardly as him, but the look in his eyes just now made Liu Yi feel like his peers, and he felt uncomfortable - what, he must have seen it wrong.
"Let's leave him alone, get ready for a picture!"
The head teacher's face was not good-looking, he slapped the list and continued to guide the students to take pictures.
On May 15, 2014, it was less than a month before the Jiangnan Provincial High School Entrance Examination. Meng Huo's life in his previous life was to draw two diametrically opposed trajectories from today, on this day his mother would die in a traffic accident, and he would be adopted by someone else......
Meng Shu didn't expect that God would give him another chance, he wanted to save his mother and let her live happily.
My mother worked as an assembly line worker in a packaging factory and left work at 10 p.m. every night, but by the time Meng had rushed over by bicycle, the workers had already come out one after another. Today, the factory left early because of the lack of stock, which is exactly the same as in the previous life.
Li Qin, who had just come out, heard the voice and looked over in surprise: "Xiao Yu, why are you here?" ”
She walked over with a women's bicycle, with the same face as Meng Shu remembered, less than forty but wrinkled because of her labor.
"I'm coming to pick you up." Meng Shu had the urge to cry, but he smiled: "I heard that you will leave work early when you are out of stock." ”
Li Qin was surprised, how could this kid know about the temporary out-of-stock of the Ludao factory. But before she could ask, several female workers surrounded her curiously.
"Kotoko, is this your child?"
"Yes." Li Qin nodded: "Xiao Yu, say hello to the aunts." ”
Meng Shu nodded with a smile: "Hello aunts." ”
"Oh, this kid is so polite!"
"Kotoko, why do you tell me that your son is introverted, isn't this very good!"
"My kid never came to pick me up."
"Yes, yes, my daughter too, she doesn't dare to bring her classmates home to play, for fear that others will know that her mother is a worker in a packaging factory."
The women workers chattered, and they were like that, and had no other pleasure than gossip and complain about family trivialities.
Li Qin was surprised again, she asked Meng to say hello just politely, in the past, this child didn't dare to raise his head to speak when he saw his relatives, how could he say hello like a person today-and smile!
After saying goodbye to the workers, Li Qin and Meng Shu walked on the road.
"Isn't it a graduation photo today? When will the graduation certificate be issued? ”
"I don't know what to do, it should be after the high school entrance examination...... the smile on Meng Huo's face has not disappeared: "I said Mom, let's walk back, okay?" ”
He wanted to avoid the time of the car accident, Li Qin readily agreed, usually Meng Huo always likes to hide in the room, so it is rare to offer to be with her. Although I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, Li Qin feels that today's son is very well-behaved.
The two walked forward, and after walking for a short time, they saw that the crossroads in front of them were full of people.
"It's miserable."
"No, I was startled, the car suddenly rushed out and crashed into the shop on the street, but fortunately no one passed by......"
"But the people in the car will definitely not be able to save them."
There was a traffic accident in front of him, and Meng Shu was in a trance in front of him. That's right, this is it. In his last life, he was the last person he saw his mother here, when a young man who had just gotten his driver's license stepped on the wrong accelerator and hit her by mistake.
Changed - the mother is not dead.
"It's really dangerous, don't go over, let's go home."
Li Qin frowned and looked at the bustling onlookers, she didn't want her son to see the bloody scene, so she hurriedly pulled him home.
Meng Shu returned home in a trance, and when he calmed down, he began to think about what he was going to do next. After his mother's death in his previous life, his adopters would send a lot of money every month, but it never appeared.
Meng Shu was very suspicious of that person's identity, but he couldn't do anything in his previous life. Now that he was born again, he didn't want to rely on that person anymore, and he didn't want to continue to do nothing.
Meng Huo wants to realize the dream that he did not realize in his previous life and make his mother happier. But for a while, he couldn't think of a way to make money quickly, and he didn't buy a lottery ticket, and he didn't know the winning numbers.
The most comfortable plan is to get a job after graduating from college, the problem is that Meng Huo has not yet passed his sixteenth birthday, and it will be 7 years before graduating from college - the daylily will be cold by that time, and the advantages brought by rebirth will be wasted.
"Xiao Yu, eat."
Li Qin brought the food to the table, and Meng Xu decided to think about it after eating.
There are fried meat and shredded carrots with chili peppers on the table, simple dishes, but the taste makes Meng Shu nostalgic.
"Delicious! Mom, I will definitely marry a wife who will inherit your craftsmanship in the future! ”
"The hair hasn't grown up, what kind of wife to marry." Li Qin took a piece of meat and put it in Meng Shu's bowl, and she stood up as if she remembered something: "By the way, I forgot to show you the news broadcast." You have to test current affairs and politics in the high school entrance examination, but you can't fall behind. ”
While speaking, Li Qin turned on the TV and adjusted the channel.
"The questions for the high school entrance examination have already been released......
Meng Shu ate and glanced at the TV disappreciatively.
"This afternoon, the Supreme People's Court of the Far Eastern Region openly tried the 3rd and 12th extraordinarily large drug smuggling cases, which began in 2012......
"Poof...... Ahem, ahem! ”
Meng Shu squirted out a mouthful of rice in his mouth and coughed.
"What's wrong with you!" Li Qin nervously poured a glass of water and handed it to Meng Shu, patting him on the back: "Didn't swallow it?" ”
Meng Shu drank the water, and his face improved slightly: "I'm fine." ”
"Why are you so careless, kid!"
Li Qin breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the bathroom to take out a mop to mop the floor, but Meng Xu's eyes were fixed on the news broadcast. The Far East - Isn't that the location of Japan? What would be the Far East?
Has Japan disappeared?
"Mom, I'm full!"
After eating, Meng Shu hurried back to the room and took out the history book and flipped it up.
It turned out that not only Japan, but also Korea, South Korea, eastern Russia, and northern India were all part of the Huaxia Kingdom, and this territory was established by Qin Shi Huang thousands of years ago. Although they have historically separated and merged, they have never completely separated from China.
"Isn't it!"
Meng was about to faint, and he also noticed that China was the largest and most developed country in the world, and the United States was the second.
Combining all the information, Meng Shu was shocked to come to the conclusion that he had not returned to the past, and he had traveled to the Parallel World Realm! And in this parallel world realm, his identity is still exactly the same as the original world realm!
"What kind of play is this......"
Meng Shu pulled his hair in a tangled manner, if it was a parallel world, wouldn't there be no resource advantage brought by rebirth?
But wait......
"Japan is gone?" Meng Shu suddenly thought of one point: Since Japan in this world is the territory of China, doesn't it mean that its unique animation industry does not exist?
In his previous life, due to his mother's busy work, Meng Huo liked to find comics in stalls and rented bookstores since he was a child, and drawing comics was also one of his few hobbies, and comics accompanied him to grow up. However, it wasn't until his mother died that he understood the warmth his mother gave him, and comics could never replace it.
It's a pity that it was too late at that time, Meng Shu became confused, he didn't go to school again, and blindly hid in the room to draw to numb himself. If it weren't for meeting a woman, maybe Meng Shu wouldn't have been able to cheer up now......
"yes......"
Meng Shu suddenly remembered, didn't he have excellent comic drawing skills? Are those skills still there? If they were still there, wouldn't Meng Shu be able to make a fortune from them?
