Prologue: The first half of my life

Next Chapter

1994......

In the alley of an old-fashioned residential community in a certain city.

An old man in a shabby blue tunic, carrying a small homemade wooden box, shouted, "Shoot sesame candy!" Shoot sesame candy! Three cents once, five cents twice! ”

Sesame candy is a long strip of maltose wrapped in a layer of sesame seeds, which tastes crispy and sweet, and is a snack for all ages at the time.

The old man's small wooden box was equipped with a roulette wheel and a set of elastic arrows on each side of the bar. Flip the roulette wheel over there, knock down the bouncy arrow here, and try your luck to shoot a few and count a few. Most of the wheels are made of one to three squares, and the few that are more than five are very small and difficult to hit. Of course, if luck hits, it's enough to blow to your friends for days.

(My personal experience: When I was a child, I shot 50 once, and when I was ecstatic, the old man picked up the box and ran away!) When I was young, I was stunned for a long time and almost collapsed. I've remembered this for the rest of my life! )

A few bear children came around, pooled the money and shot twice, but there were only two, and found that it was cost-effective to buy it directly, so they stopped doing it, and had to make up for one after the old man's buttocks.

But after talking for a long time, the old man disagreed. The bear children were angry and shouted in unison: "Sesame candy, stick candy, the old man who shoots hurts in the ass!" ”

The old man drove for a long time to no avail, and only at last he threatened to call the parents to send the bear children away. In fact, he just scared it, if he really recruited the adults, he would definitely have to make up two more roots!

After work, Wang Shulan rode a bicycle to the mouth of the alley. After seeing it, he hurriedly stopped the old man and bought a few sesame candies that his son loved to eat.

As soon as he wanted to go home, he was stopped by his neighbor, Sister Zhao. "Xiao Wang just came back from grocery shopping, yo it's quite hearty! What a good day? ”

"Xiao Mo took another good student, and gave the child a good reward!"

Sister Zhao shook her head and said enviously: "You two are both regular employees, and the children are learning and competitive!" It's been a really prosperous day. Hey, look at my family again, I don't do my job all day. Children don't study well, and they don't care about it like wild monkeys! I can't live this day......"

Wang Shulan persuaded: "It will get better slowly, and besides, Brother Zhang is now self-employed and makes a lot of money......

After comforting for a long time and pulling for a while, Wang Shulan returned to her small courtyard.

Her husband, who had already gotten off work, took the basket and was ready to pick vegetables, while Wang Shulan walked into her son's room with sesame candy.

"Xiao Mo, what did Mom get for you?"

"Sesame candy!" Li Mo put down the elementary school Olympiad problem solution in his hand, happily took the bag, picked up a stick and ate it sweetly.

"Mom, Zhang Kai told me to go to his house to play after dinner in a while, and his father bought him a Xiaobawang."

Listening to Xiao Li Mo's words, Wang Shulan's face immediately sank: "What kind of game console to play!" That's not a good thing! And Li Mo, I warn you, don't have more dealings with Zhang Kai in the future! Don't look at what your Aunt Zhao looks like! Just like Zhang Kai, he must be a second-rate son when he grows up! ”

The young Li Mo didn't dare to speak, and ate the sesame candy silently, only feeling that his mouth was bitter.

………………

Four years later......

"Li Haijun! What the hell is going on with you and that little vixen in your unit! ”

"That's it! Wang Shulan, you shrew, count me down all day long, I've had enough! ”

"You're not a man! Brother Zhang next door is looking for a junior because of the big money, what qualifications do you have? With your little salary, it's hard to feed both of us! ”

"Look! Look! Talking and talking about money! Wang Shulan, how did you become so vulgar! Yes, I don't have the skills! Lao Zhang is so rich, why don't you go to him! ”

"You bastard!"

……

The noise, the sound of falling things kept ringing.

Li Mo hid in his room and watched the TV blankly. When did it start? The atmosphere at home became tense year by year, until it turned into a battlefield. Is it because of money that people's hearts are so fickle?

On TV, the magical alien Ronaldo seems to have been castrated, and suddenly the majesty is gone, and the French team magically wins the championship!

Li Mo lit a cigarette with an expressionless face, I can't stay at home tonight, where should I go? By the way, I heard Zhang Kai say that there is a place called an Internet café recently, which is very good, and you can also book a night. Just go and stay there......

………………

Inside an Internet café in a university town.

It's smoky and smells amazing.

"Li Mo, what are you doing! Come with me to farm the Death Mine! ”

"You're looking for someone else! This novel called Shenglong Road is very good, why didn't you find it before? ”

"You just found out! I've already finished reading it, okay, you see, I'll find the rest of the guild! ”

……

At four or five o'clock in the morning, Zhang Kai's energy was a little low, and after quitting the game, he sat next to Li Mo and lit a cigarette: "Mozi, I'm graduating soon, have you figured out what you want to do?" ”

Li Mo looked at the novel, his face expressionless: "Just our pheasant university, what can we do when we come out?" You're okay, you can go to your dad's company to take over. I don't know what I can do! ”

Zhang Kai patted Li Mo's shoulder and comforted: "What are you worried about!" Didn't your parents leave you with the several suites that your family demolished and divided? Just collecting rent can support you! ”

Li Mo turned his head to look at Zhang Kai, who was wearing glasses and was already a little obese, and said silently in his heart: "Mom, you are wrong, Zhang Kai has not become a second-rate son, he has become a dead fat house!" ”

………………

in a small area.

Firecrackers crackled.

In the laughter of a bunch of friends, Zhang Kai stopped Li Mo and Xu Li with a huge belly like a mountain king, and laughed: "I said, how long have you two known each other!" Was it love at first sight? Tell everyone about it! ”

Li Mo stepped forward and kicked Zhang Kai away, turned to look at Xu Li, who was laughing with her friends, wearing a white wedding dress, she had a kind of holy beauty today.

"I'm married, and I've finally found my other half! I will be happy! ”

Li Mo laughed happily.

……

Xu Li was looking at the daily upward movement of Mango Terrace, and was amused and laughed.

Li Mo walked over expressionlessly and threw a pink medicine box on the coffee table, "I said that your stomach has not moved in the past few years, why did you secretly take medicine from me!" ”

Xu Li turned off the TV, her face was very flat, "I don't feel happy, I don't want my child to grow up in a single-parent family in the future!" ”

"Not happy? We don't have to worry about food or clothing, I rely on you in everything, don't gamble or prostitute, and don't even let you cook! You tell me you're not happy?! ”

"Not worrying about food and clothing doesn't mean having money! Look at you again, you used to have clear eyebrows, but after you got married, you got fatter and fatter, and even your hair was bald! Play a bracelet every day, drink health tea, and love to wear Tang costumes! I'm seven years younger than you, and when I go out, everyone thinks you're my uncle! ”

Li Mo sat on the sofa speechlessly, feeling so tired.

………………

Tycoon Clubhouse.

A splendid and vulgar private room.

Zhang Kai and Li Mo, two greasy middle-aged people, sat on the sofa with a big grin, looking at the various beauties standing in a row with critical eyes.

Zhang Kai's expression was a little obscene: "I said Mozi, open your eyes!" That's all it takes for women! I lost a tree, but there was a whole forest in front of me! ”

Li Mo lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. His parents had their own families and ignored him for several years, his wife left him, and he had no children. He felt that life was a joke, so he simply let himself go completely!

The two of them each picked a technician after a while, Zhang Kai found a flaming red lips, plump breasts and fat buttocks, as an old driver, he has his own judgment standards. And Li Mo found a young student girl, he used to like sexy ones, but now he likes young ones. Maybe it's old, Li Mo laughed at himself.

The young girl was a veteran, and when she walked over, her right hand directly touched the root of Li Mo's thigh, "What's the boss's surname?" ”

The corners of Li Mo's mouth crooked: "Call me Uncle Li!" ”

…………

After a few years of unashamed and impatient debauchery.

Li Mo and Zhang Kai were a little tired of it.

Finally, after losing someone once in Dongguan, he said goodbye to the party.

Zhang Kai fell in love with raising some strange things again. And Li Mo, who loves to read online texts, studied the occult.

Li Mo opened a shop for flowers, birds, fish and insects, and often helped Zhang Kai get some bird-catching spiders, giant centipedes and the like through underground channels. And Zhang Kai used the time of his business trip to help Li Mo find some strange talismans and books, although they were all fake.

One day, Zhang Kai, who had just returned from a business trip to Europe, was mysteriously called to the warehouse by Li Moshen.

"What are you doing! Good friends don't do it! ”

"you! Open your eyes! ”

"What is this?" Zhang Kai asked strangely.

In front of me is a small tree half a meter high, which is placed in a large glass landscape box. The dark yellow trunk was covered with black nodules, but the top of the tree was densely hung with green rattans.

"Keep your eyes open!" Li Mo took out a guinea pig from the box next to him and threw it at Xiaoshu in Zhang Kai's surprised gaze.

The mouse was a little confused, sniffing around, ready to climb over the small tree. However, the rattan of the little tree moved, curling and winding the mouse like a snake. In the squeaking of the mouse, the barbs on the rattan pierced deep into the mouse's body. As the turquoise rattan gradually turned red, the mouse completely stopped moving.

"I'm X! What the hell is this! Zhang Kai exclaimed.

"Legendary vampire vines!" Li Mo was a little proud: "There was a legend before that the British army died a lot of people in Afghanistan because of this thing, and some time ago a group of mercenaries found out and fell out, and I spent 500,000 yuan to grab a small sapling through the black market." ”

Zhang Kai's eyes were red, "Give you 800,000!" That's more than that, what piranha cow X! ”

"500,000 is enough, isn't it your birthday in two days, this is a birthday gift!" Li Mo smiled.

"Interesting!" Zhang Kai patted Li Mo and was about to step forward to take a closer look. Whew... , the landscape box was pitch black.

"What's wrong?"

"The lamp is broken, I'll go get another one!" Li Mo reluctantly put on rubber gloves.

"It's just a change of lamp, what kind of rubber gloves to wear!" Zhang Kai pursed his lips.

"What if CLP crosses over? I'm quite happy with my life now! Li Mo laughed as he put his hand into the landscape box.

However, at this moment, the space on the side of the landscape box suddenly shook, and a black hole with a diameter of three meters appeared out of thin air. Then, a stream of blue-white energy erupted violently, instantly turning Li Mo and the landscape box into particles, and then rushing into the black hole that suddenly appeared on the other side......

Zhang Kai's eyes widened, completely stunned.

In the middle of the night, a terrible voice suddenly came from the flower, bird, fish and insect store, "Li Mo! You're not interesting enough! Don't take me with you if you cross over! ”
