Chapter 10: 1.9 Billion People

"What an inexplicable bunch of people." I turned on the faucet and let the icy water wash over my body, trying to get the hateful face of the dancing butterfly out of my head. The stimulation of the cold water brought my brain back to a bit of calm, and my mood slowly regained its calmness. Regardless of the game, let's put it for now.

Completely restored, I suddenly remembered that I was a student, and I thought more deeply that I had not attended classes for nearly 3 months, and when I checked the date, something more serious happened, and in two weeks, it was our final exam! How did time pass so quickly that before you knew it, it was the end of the period?

I panicked, although I didn't pay much attention to the results of the final exam, but my father valued my grades the most, if I failed the exam, although my father would not do anything to me, but his wordless blame, that painful eyes at me, and that overwhelmed sigh, was the most terrible punishment for my soul.

When I returned to my residence, I couldn't help but feel so smug about what I had done today, and it was so refreshing to think that the eyed guy had not only been beaten up by me, but also blackmailed by me, and it seemed that no matter how powerful a person's power seemed, if he found their weakness, he could eat them to death. The only thing that is unpleasant is that I was supposed to go to the school to find a tutor today but didn't do it, and I can't help but feel a little regretful. But it doesn't matter, I can look it up online.

The next day, I rode my bike to school, and last night, I couldn't find anything for myself online, and I stopped at the sea of news early in the morning, and I realized that it was a waste of time online, and I still like to use the classical method. I know that in the corner of the school, there is a message board with all kinds of tutoring messages. However, when I got there, it let me down again, there was a lot of news, but there was nothing I needed. After making a fuss for most of the day, I got nothing, so I had to go home dejected. As I rode the bike, I suddenly remembered that I was going to return Sister Liu's handkerchief, it was stained with my blood yesterday, but I had washed it this morning.

When I arrived at the bank, I felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, and I greeted Sister Hua and them, but they didn't have the enthusiasm they used to have, and they looked at me in a businesslike tone, and I could still feel that they had a little resentment towards me.

"Sister Hua, what's going on." I grabbed Sister Hua and asked.

"Mr. Long, do you need any help?" Sister Hua asked me politely, while gently getting rid of my hand.

"What's wrong with them, is it yesterday, but I should have settled it out, isn't it time for Sister Liu Zi to go to work? If I asked her, she would have told me. "I sat in the guest chair at the bank, thinking that something was wrong with me.

I sat for a long time, maybe a few hours, but Sister Liu never came to work, my heart twitched, could it be that Sister Liu had an accident, I went to ask Sister Hua and them again, but they didn't answer my questions, I know, they are avoiding me. Around the afternoon, Sister Hua got off work, and I immediately followed her, and as she walked out, Sister Hua seemed to know that I was following her, and went straight into a café, asked for a cup of coffee, and drank it slowly. I immediately walked over and sat down across from her.

"Liu Zi was dismissed by the manager's communiqué with a personal vendetta." Sister Hua took a sip of coffee lightly, confirming my suspicions. "You were too impulsive yesterday, then Manager Li is a typical Jianhua must report, and he also warned us not to contact you, nor to help Liu Zi, otherwise our jobs will not be guaranteed. It's not easy to get a good job these days, and we don't want to lose it. Of course, we don't stand idly by while our sisters are in trouble. However, Liu Zi does not allow us to help her, she will leave the city, and as long as the surname Li is still here one day, she will not come to us. ”

"This scumbag is so hateful, why didn't I slap him a few more times yesterday." I cracked my fists.

"Don't keep thinking about going to him for trouble, yesterday you were justified, if you are reckless, you must be the one who suffers, and even if you have the upper hand, he will take his anger out on us little staff. Kindness! Liu Zi is really miserable, her family's economic situation is not good, there are two old people in the family waiting for her money to live, usually she is very poor, the surname Li is to use her family's situation to play with her, in the past, Liu Zi in order to keep this job, had to be false with him, but Liu Zi is clean and self-conscious, not like other women who love vanity, and are extremely loyal to colleagues, we all like her very much, and now you are doing this, making that scum angry, and Liu Zi's job is also lost. Hey, it's hard for her to find a job that pays as well as the one she has now. ”

"Sister Hua, Sister Liu is there now."

"She's leaving the city tonight, she has very few things, she packed up her things and went out early this morning, and now, we don't know where she is, maybe waiting at the station."

I immediately rushed out of the café when I heard this, but I heard Sister Hua say behind me: "If she is not at the station, then she is most likely in the Wanghe Pavilion in the park." Time is running out, and maybe you can say goodbye to her. ”

Sister Hua looked at my back as I left in a hurry, and murmured softly: "Sister Liu, I can only help you so much, and it's up to you in the future." ”

There are a lot of people at the station, and the constant flow of people has caused me a lot of trouble in my search for people, and I am like a fish, wandering around the station. But I found nothing, and finally I found the cardboard that someone else had thrown in the corner. Write the two big characters of Liu Zi, walk up to a high platform, and shout loudly: "Liu... Sister ......"

The crowd was startled by my voice, and they all turned their heads and looked at me like monkeys, but I didn't care what the crowd was looking at, and continued to scream. Half an hour later, my voice was hoarse, but there was no news of Liuzi. I remember that Sister Hua said that she might still go to the Wanghe Pavilion in the park, and I wanted to go there, but I was afraid that if Liu Zi came to the station, wouldn't we miss her? I couldn't think of a way to do both, and finally used 300 yuan to invite someone to help me hold up the card, and told him that if there was someone named Liu Zi to ask, he would try to leave her behind, and I quickly ran to Wanghe Pavilion.

Wanghe Pavilion is Liu Zi's favorite place to come, although this place is very dilapidated, it is very quiet, modern people, don't come to this kind of place very much, so no matter what time it is, there are very few people here. Every time I come here, I don't see a single person around, and when I sit here, I feel as if the whole world is my own, and my heart becomes broader. So every time she has something in her heart, she will come here and sit down.

There are no cranes in the Crane Pavilion now, in fact, a long time ago, the cranes can not be seen here, the Crane Pavilion can only see the water of the pond, if it is summer, then you can see a pool of leaves and lotus flowers here, but now it is winter, the lotus flowers, the lotus leaves are gone, the water in the pool has dried up, now this season, in the Crane Pavilion, the only scene is the gray mountain in the distance, and the sky that has been full of wind and sand, but now at this time, they can not see, because, the sky has begun to darken.

It's time to leave, Liu Zi took a second look at this humble pavilion with infinite nostalgia, from now on, it no longer belongs to himself, just like the person who appeared in his sleep thousands of times, he will go away from them, in the future, there may never be a time to meet again, but, I really want to take a look at his pure expression before leaving, what he did yesterday is really amazing, I can't see that he will become so violent with a weak appearance, and he doesn't think about the consequences at all, really like a child, I'm worried for him that this won't get better. Who knows, he handled it so thoughtfully afterwards, beating someone and extorting money from the victim, what he did seemed to be a scoundrel? However, I didn't have any dislike for him, and maybe, whatever he did, I wouldn't have any dislike for him. Yesterday I was a little strange, right? Although I don't like Manager Li, for this job, I haven't been vain with him, why are I in a hurry to leave everything clean in front of him? Is this the psychology of love as described in the book? Are you really hopelessly in love with him? The job is gone, but I don't regret it at all? I miss the feeling of being in his arms, and I remember that I was very happy. However, there will be no chance in the future.

Liu Zi's mood slowly became heavy with the sunset, she remembered her parents at home far away, she couldn't serve them by their side was already unfilial, if she couldn't send her living expenses on time, then, she would be ashamed of being a son of man! Will I be able to find another job? Liu Zi felt very powerless, in the vast sea of people, there was no one she could rely on, and there was no place to go. Liu Zi suddenly felt very tired, she really wanted to lie down like this, she didn't want to continue to walk aimlessly like this, she wanted a quiet harbor bend where she could shelter from the wind and rain.

The bag in his hand is not big, but now Liu Zi feels that it is very heavy, he can hardly pick it up, his feet are also very heavy, he can hardly take a step, take a look at this last scene, reflect it into the deepest part of his soul, no matter how difficult the road in the future is, as long as his heart retains this peace, he will be stronger, and he will never fall.

Finally, the last ray of light of the sun disappeared into the night, and the lights in the city turned on one by one, Liu Zi sighed lightly, carried the bag, and slowly turned his head, no matter how reluctant he was, he still had to leave after all.

"Dragon, you ......" Liu Zi saw the face of the person who had returned to his dreams, and he had sworn to be strong just now, but after being embraced by the hateful person, he could no longer deceive himself, and threw himself into the man's arms and cried.

I finally found Liu Zi in the park, she was quietly looking at the pool that was all mud, I don't think there was nothing in the pool, there was nothing to see in the pool, but Liu Zi looked at the pool with a very persistent look, the expression on her face looked very calm, unemployed, it didn't seem to be a big blow to her, Sister Hua seemed to be exaggerating, but when I listened to the sigh before she turned her head, I completely understood her mood at this time, how helpless, depressed, and hesitant scream! My heart was filled with guilt for her, and my pleasure and vendetta had plunged her into the abyss. What can I do to save my faults? Now the only thing I can do is to hold her tightly, give her my bosom, and let her vent everything in her heart happily. She is a girl who takes everything to heart and suffers by herself, and too many negative emotions have accumulated in her chest, making her cry without scruples, right?

What I didn't expect was that Liu Zi cried and cried, and fell asleep in my arms, looking at her smiling face in her sleep, I shook my head, she was really like a baby, crying and crying and falling asleep. Lifting her things, carrying her on our backs, we left here.

Liu Zi went back to her childhood in a dream, she kept running on the wide grass, and there were many flowers growing on the grass, and she picked those flowers and made a wreath, and it was very beautiful, and there were all kinds of flowers on it, and she gave this wreath to a boy, and the two of them ran hand in hand. They laughed and ran. Suddenly the wreath was gone, the grass was gone, the boy was gone, and Liu Zi found herself falling into a dark world, and besides, she kept falling.

"Ahh Liu Zi woke up with a loud scream, "It turned out to be a dream." Liu Zi sat up panting, "It was a dream just now, is everything in Wanghe Pavilion also a dream?" Did he really go to Wanghe Pavilion yesterday? This must be a dream, how could the dragon know that I was there? There were very few people there, and the dragon was going to play games, and he couldn't have gone there, but it seemed to be true, and I seemed to have seen him, and I was still holding him and crying! Liu Zi closed her eyes stiffly, she was afraid that she would open her eyes, she was afraid that when she opened her eyes, she would find that it was indeed a dream, she didn't want to see the truth, she wanted to continue to sleep in the dream.

"Sister Liu, are you awake?"

This is...... The dragon's voice, oh my God, it's real.

"Dragon ......" Liu Zi opened her eyes happily and saw the smile of the person she was extremely attached to, and suddenly, she felt that she was about to melt with happiness, as long as she was with the person she liked, no matter what kind of difficulties, she could face them fearlessly.

"Dragon, this is where it is." Liu Zi put her mind at ease, looked at this unfamiliar environment curiously, and asked.

"This is where I live, you fell asleep in Wanghe Pavilion, and I carried you back. Sister Liu, do you know, you are so heavy, I have been to the countryside before, and the pig I carried is not as heavy as yours. ”

"Okay, you're laughing at me." Sister Liu beat me and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Dragon." Sister Liu made a fuss for a while, looked at me gratefully, and whispered to me.

"It's okay, are you my sister Liu, of course I'm going to help you." I said nonchalantly. "Sister Liu, you can live here in the future, and you will find work later."

"Dragon, how much rent are you going to charge me! It's too expensive, my sister can't afford it, my sister is a poor bastard! Sister Liu chuckled.

"I must collect the rent, my sister has no money, so I can replace it with something else." I smiled strangely, and when I saw Sister Liu's face turn yin, I immediately said, "Sister, didn't you say that I won't take care of myself?" Then you help me with the housework, you have to help me cook, and you have to help me play games. ”

"Long, you are really going to fall into the well, knowing that your sister is in trouble now, and forcing your sister to be a cheap laborer." Sister Liu hit me on the head and laughed.

"Sister Liu, how dare I oppress you? If Sister Hua and the others know, will I still be alive? I officially asked my sister to help, I have a salary here, my sister is here, food and accommodation are not counted, and I can get a salary of 5,000 yuan every month. ”

"But doing housework and cooking every day is not worth 5,000 yuan in wages?"

"Those are secondary, my sister mainly helps me play games, sister, you know, my income comes from games, and we can make money in games." I explained.

"But I don't know how to play, I've never played."

"No, sister, you really have never played any games, I can't believe that there are really such classical people in this era." I exaggerated.

"What's so strange, my sister studied hard every day when she was studying, and she had to work hard every day after she came out to work, there was time to play, and a pair of helmets was so expensive, however, I never understood, everything on the Internet is fake, why are so many people so obsessed with it, I also heard that there are many girls who do not hesitate to sell their bodies for a set of better equipment."

"Sister, we don't have to discuss this now, what my sister can't understand, when my sister has played a game in depth, I don't need others to explain, my sister will naturally understand, in fact, all this is very easy to understand."

"By the way, Dragon, aren't you still a student, and you have so much time to play?"

"Sister, I think you must have been a good student with good character and learning before, you never knew that you skipped class, did you?"

"Dragon, you skip class to play games, that's not good, it will have a great impact on your studies, karma is diligent, ridiculous. The current situation is not good, my studies are not good, and it will be difficult to find a job in the future," Sister Liu said to me anxiously.

"yes, but why should I look for a job? You don't have to work for others to get money. Like me now, I play games and earn more than yours. ”

"But it's not a long-term solution, it's always good for you to know a little more knowledge." Sister Liu tried to convince me.

"There is no long-term thing in the world, a person with a good character like my sister has not been fired, and knowledge is as vast as the sea, and people will not be able to learn it in their lifetime, and I think that it is better to learn everything than to learn something that you can use, and the knowledge you need is not necessarily to be learned in school."

"Then why do you still go to school?" Sister Liu was a little angry.

"That's because of my father's insistence."

"Didn't you argue with him? You're very good at arguing. ”

"No, that's the only thing my father wants from me, I'll finish college with his wishes, and then go to work for a company." My voice lowered. "Sister, do you think I have no opinions?"

"No, I think you're very kind, and you can do things you don't want to do without making the people around you feel sad about you." Sister Liu sighed, and continued: "Long, in fact, what you said also makes sense, everyone has their own life and their own different path, I can't impose my opinion on you, but don't try to convince me." ”

"I don't need to convince you, like you said, everyone has their own path, you see, we took the topic away, by the way, Sister Liu, didn't your previous homework be very good? I'm looking for a tutor! Why don't you be my sister's tutor. ”

"That's fine, but if you want me to teach you, you have to listen to me completely."

"I've never disobeyed my sister, I've always been very well-behaved." I hurriedly made a good baby's appearance.

"That's fine."

"Let's get started now, then."

"Now."

"yes, I have a final exam in two weeks, so I don't have time."

“……”

Sister Liu is a very strict teacher, and when she knew that I had been abandoning my homework for a few months, she immediately banned me from surfing the Internet, playing games, and even going out of the room. I struggled under her almost demanding demands, but in return, my studies improved considerably, and I also found that I seemed to have gained a lot of weight. Sister Liu's cooking is so delicious, and the fast food noodles I ate before are simply heaven and earth.

"Sister Liu, I'm back, is the meal ready, I'm so hungry." I ran home in a hurry, put a large cardboard box aside in my hand, threw my bag away, and shouted to the back room.

"I'm waiting for you! Come on, I've got you ready. Sister Liu replied in the kitchen.

I sat down at the dinner table, and Sister Liu also took out a big bowl of soup from the kitchen, she put the soup down, scooped the soup for me with a small spoon, and asked, "Long, how did you do in the exam?" ”

I swallowed the rice in my mouth and said, "Sister Liu, there are two pieces of news, one is good and one is bad, you have to listen to that one first." ”

"Okay."

"The good news is that I did well in the exam, and I believe there is no problem in passing."

"I just passed, but what about the bad ones?"

"The bad news is, Sister Liu, you were fired by me."

Sister Liu's hand paused, and a little soup spilled out of the spoon.

"Sister Liu, I've finished the exam, I don't need a tutor anymore." I took a sip of soup and continued: "So, Sister Liu, you can't force me to study anymore in the future, now, Sister Liu, I'm going to hire you to do another job." ”

"Do you want me to help you play the game? You've told me that before. Sister Liu gently added another spoonful of soup to me and said lightly.

"Yes! Sister Liu, today I'm going to teach you how to play the game. ”

"Yes, but I have a request, Dragon, and you must promise me two hours a day to review my homework. Your foundation is weak. ”

"Let's talk about it later, sister, don't force me to read books anymore, I've been miserable these two weeks, I want to vomit when I see a book now." I looked at Sister Liu pitifully, but Sister Liu couldn't match my gaze, so she had to surrender and said, "I'll give you three days off first, and you will have to start studying after three days." ”

"Long live, I know that Sister Liu is the best for me." I cheered triumphantly, ran to the cardboard box that I had just brought back from outside, unpacked it, took out a silver helmet from the inside, and said to Liu Ziyang: "Sister Liu, look, this is the helmet I prepared for you, it's dazzling." ”

"M820! This is the latest holographic simulation helmet, Dragon, it costs nearly 100,000 yuan, I just need to use the ordinary D153 type. Liu Zi saw the helmet in my hand and shouted.

"Sister Liu, didn't you say that you have never played a game? How do you know so much about these game-specific helmets? "My heart was full of doubts.

"Fool, didn't you tell me to play the game for you two weeks ago? I've been looking up a lot of game stuff on the Internet over the past two weeks. Liu Zi walked over, nodded my head, and continued. Now the hottest thing is the game called "Taimeng".,Dragon,I think you're playing this game.,The lx company that publishes this game is really amazing.,I knew a lot of people playing it before.,These geniuses learned from the Internet.,It's in our country.,There are 700 million accounts.,You know,Our country,A total of only 1.9 billion people.,I don't think it won't take long.,Except for ignorant children.,Almost everyone has to run into this game.。 ”
