Chapter 105: The Death of a Good Man
After living a mediocre life for twenty-five years, Liang Qiushi has always felt that he is a good person. It's just that in today's world, not only does being a good person seem to get no good reward, but even the praise word "good person" has changed its taste, almost equating with the word "mediocrity".
Because of mediocrity, so honest.
Originally, Liang Qiushi, like most ordinary citizens, worked hard every day to make a living. It's just that although it has passed the natal year, Liang Qiushi's luck this year is particularly bad.
As one of the five great lakes in China, Taihu Lake is a good place for Zhong Lingyuxiu, but with the economic development, a large number of factories have been built on the east and west banks, and a large amount of sewage has been discharged, resulting in a serious deterioration of the ecology of Taihu Lake.
Due to the perennial exceedance of heavy metal pollutants, the area around Taihu Lake has always been a high-incidence area for cancer in Wuxi. At the beginning of this year, Liang's father and mother were diagnosed with cancer, and after tossing for more than half a year, the two old people died one after another before they could realize their dream of holding their grandson, leaving Liang Qiushi alone in the world.
The Liang family is not a wealthy family, and the treatment costs of the two old people almost emptied the Liang family's funds, and left Liang Qiushi with a lot of debts.
To add insult to injury, Liang Qiushi is also unemployed. He used to work as the hardest programmer in a small software company, but because he was busy taking care of patients, he took leave for several months, and when he tossed two funerals and wanted to go back to work, the boss of the company was not happy and directly asked him to roll up and get out.
In these years, jobs are easy to find, but hard to find. It doesn't matter, Liang Qiushi, who is not famous, can only pass the time while playing online games, while sitting at home waiting for a reply to the cover letter, which is two months.
Liang Qiushishan is exhausted.
In order to mix up some living expenses, Liang Qiushi had to sell an online game account that he had cultivated for many years, because it was a netizen transaction in the chat group of the game legion, and the buyer was also the guild president that Liang Qiushi had known for many years, so the two parties agreed to trade on a face-to-face basis.
So, Liang Qiushi came to Ping'an City.
The buyer is a small local tyrant, and he has a good understanding of Liang Qiushi's family situation, so the actual transaction price is high, and even a bit of poverty alleviation.
Liang Qiushi, who has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world for more than half a year, was very moved, he didn't expect a netizen to have this heart, so when he ate with the local tyrant, he couldn't help but drink two more glasses.
Early the next morning, Liang Qiushi woke up from the bed in the hotel with a hangover headache, first touched his wallet, but did not find the theft, and then rubbed the chrysanthemums, and did not feel pain, so he packed his bags contentedly and stepped on the morning dew to catch the morning bus.
When passing through Babaoting Park, he was parasitized by Hu Liuhe......
However, Liang Qiushi's bad luck seems to be endless. When he got off the bus at the station and went to the exit to take a taxi, he touched his pocket, only to find that his mobile phone and wallet were all gone!
In his wallet, he still has a life-saving money that he has exchanged for many years of hard work!
Liang Qiushi finally collapsed.
Although it is said that in the Chicken Soup for the Soul article, it is always said that setbacks make people grow, but people's ability to bear is limited, and if there are too many setbacks and too heavy, people's spirit will collapse sooner or later.
Liang Qiushi didn't know how he walked home, Wuxi, a large city with a permanent population of more than 6 million, walked from the bus station in the center of the city to the edge of Taihu Lake, the distance was simply scary.
Liang Qiushi, who was physically and mentally exhausted, had the idea of committing suicide.
If a person doesn't even care about his own life, he often doesn't care about the lives of others.
That night, Liang Qiushi had a strange dream.
Liang Qiushi dreamed that he was floating like a ghost, and his body penetrated the bed board and wall without hindrance, and fell into the bedroom of the downstairs unit, where the two familiar neighbors and couples were intimate as if no one was around, even if Liang Qiushi was standing at the head of the bed.
Then, Liang Qiushi woke up, and tragedy happened.
First, the hostess's eyes widened and she screamed, and then subconsciously grabbed the quilt to cover her naked body; The male owner who was about to enter the port was even more angry, and he didn't care how tall a golden gun was, he picked up the lamp with his bare ass and smashed it on Liang Qiushi's head!
Liang Qiushi's head was taken abruptly before he realized that he was actually standing naked in someone else's house at this moment, especially when he was enthusiastic just now, his body reacted, and he looked like a perverted rapist who trespassed on a private house.
Liang Qiushi was not tortured by the police, on the one hand, because the neighbor couple took pity on Liang Qiushi, guessing that he may have been a little stimulated since the death of his parents, so his mental state has not been quite right; On the other hand, it is also because the male owner is too heavy, and Liang Qiushi may not be able to tell if he entered the police station with blood flowing all over his face.
Even, in order to avoid becoming a manslaughter, the man still had a gloomy face, with questions about whether his wife was loyal and whether the child was biological, and sent Liang Qiushi to the hospital for a brain examination in the middle of the night.
The hospital's examination report dealt a fatal blow to Liang Qiushi's spirit: the CT examination results showed that Liang Qiushi had a fist-sized tumor in his skull, which was very likely to be a malignant brain tumor.
Liang Qiushi completely collapsed, he held the test results and cried, this script of the terminal illness and death of the whole family is too sadistic and sad, even if he drinks chicken soup for the soul every day, he can't bear it!
People have declined to this level in this life, even the male owner can't bear it, not only did he not pursue Liang Qiushi's matter of trespassing into the house to peek at the couple's room, but also threw Liang Qiushi 2,000 yuan in nutrition money.
After Liang Qiushi dried his tears, he sat on the chair in the hospital corridor for a long time, watching the patients and doctors come and go, and suddenly realized: I have been hard enough in my life, so don't wronged myself for the rest of my life.
When Liang Qiushi, who had figured it out, stood up again, the "good man" Liang Qiushi was already dead.
When he walked out of the gate of the hospital, the sky was already dark, and Liang Qiushi, who had been tossing all night, was tired and hungry, so he entered the house to shop early, and then, he was surprised to find that his appetite had increased greatly, and the two thousand yuan he had just arrived had been scattered three or four hundred at once.
If it was the "good man" Liang Qiushi in the past, even if he was hungry at this time, I am afraid that he would not be entangled with the owner of the shop, and at most he would go out and eat again.
However, at this moment, Liang Qiushi, who realized that his life was not long in coming, was no longer willing to suffer the wretching anger of others, he began to quarrel with the boss unreasonably, slapping the table and lifting the plates, and even holding up a small otaku body that lacked exercise, and pounced on the shopkeeper with a big waist and a round waist, and fought.
Liang Qiushi was not arrested for trespassing on a private house, but he still entered the bureau for obstructing public security.
Maybe it was the brain tumor examination report that earned a little sympathy points, coupled with Liang Qiushi's lack of fighting experience, although the tossing movement was big, but it was he who was really beaten, so the police uncle didn't embarrass this "terminally ill patient" much, and after oral education for a long time, he was released.
Helpless, Liang Qiushi's psychology has been seriously unbalanced, he feels that he is being tricked by fate, he can't feel the kindness of the police uncle, but he blindly complains, and even has the evil idea of revenge on society.
After returning home, Liang Qiushi was angry and wondered, how did he run to someone else's house inexplicably, he didn't have the problem of sleepwalking in the past?
What's even more weird is that every household in this unit building has anti-theft doors and anti-theft windows, how did you open the door and pick the lock when you were naked?
Liang Qiushi frowned, meditated for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more irritable he became, so he went to the bathroom, wanting to wash his face to calm his mind, but unexpectedly, he just entered the bathroom, and when he looked up, the image in the mirror of the washstand scared him almost urinated.
Liang Qiushi saw a set of clothes in the mirror floating strangely in mid-air, and it was still moving, as if there was a transparent person standing there. If you look closely, isn't that the one on your own!
Liang Qiushi lowered his head in astonishment and raised his hands, but he only saw two hollow sleeves!
Liang Qiushi reached out and scratched his face, and he could clearly feel his warm fingers, but he couldn't see anything in his eyes!
Liang Qiushi seemed to think of something, and hurriedly took off his shirt, and then he found that his body was also transparent, and under the light of the bathroom, there was not even a shadow.
I became a transparent person!
At this time, something even stranger happened, the out-of-body wandering feeling in Liang Qiushi's dream appeared again, his line of sight became swaying, his body was also floating lightly, and at the same time, the pants, socks and shoes on the lower body also lost the support of their bodies in an instant, and they all softened together and piled up on the ground.
The weather in late autumn was cold, and the naked Liang Qiushi was frozen to sneeze a few times, but the blood in his body was rushing and burning!
Liang Qiushi never thought that he, a little programmer who is a little homely, would actually have the day to get the invincible golden finger in the online article! It's just that fate catches people, God gave him such an adventure, but he is unwilling to give him time to enjoy the adventure. At this moment, Liang Qiushi was first happy in his heart, but what followed was endless frustration. He felt like a terminally ill person who had won the first-class lottery, and the person was going to die, and the money was not spent.
"No! I've awakened such a bullish skill, how can I still wait for death in vain? There's an urban legend waiting for me to compose! ”
Liang Qiushi rekindled his hope in life and did not plan to give up treatment because of money. Because, in just a moment, his mind flashed through countless ways to make money with transparency and wall-piercing abilities, though none of them were legal.
Liang Qiushi, a "good man" who once didn't know how to do evil, quickly threw away the skin of a "good guy" after getting the means to do evil, and evolved into a "bad guy" who was more suitable for surviving in this urban jungle.
Of course, the simple argument of good people and bad people is no longer suitable for describing the complex and changeable social heart.
So, isn't it easier to understand by replacing "herbivores" and "meat eaters", or "losers" and "successful people"?
It is as if many officials, after gaining authority, have learned to be corrupt and take bribes without a teacher. And Liang Qiushi, who was "transplanted" with fangs and claws, is no longer willing to continue to be a submissive herbivore, he wants to become a "meat eater" who is qualified to "despised"!
(Note: "Zuo Chuan: Ten Years of Zhuang Gong": "Meat eaters are despised, and they fail to plan far.") )
