Chapter 50: The Return (Part II)
At nine o'clock, wake up. After getting dressed, I gave up making the bed, and I walked out of the room. Parents are not at home. The breakfast that my parents had made for me was on the table, and it was unpalatable. The principle of frugality, I didn't use the money to go out and buy breakfast. After a hasty meal, I took the dishes into the kitchen, wiped the table with my hands, and returned to my room.
A year ago, I was part of the unemployed. The old should be strong, let alone the young. I had a job that I thought I was doing, writing plays. Before I wrote this, I imagined that if I told my parents about this dream, they would support me like my parents in TV dramas and books. The fantasy is beautiful, but the reality is depressing. Not to mention encouraging me to achieve my dreams, my parents harshly criticized me and asked me to give up this boring idea and instead find a job in a big company or apply for a civil service. "The reason why I won't let you do this? Jiahe, there is no money to be made from writing. If it weren't for us supporting you, would you say that you would be able to go out alone and support yourself? Do you think you are a great god and can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month like others? Let's be realistic, Jiahe, writing is useless. Instead of writing, you might as well find a real job and make thousands of dollars a month. You see that you are not young anymore, and other people's children have already married their own children at your age. Jiahe, listen to us and find a down-to-earth job to make money. You see, their children earned 3,000 in the first month, 4,000 in the second month, and now they are almost 10,000. If you have a job, other girls will look at you. As far as writing is concerned, there is no woman to marry you. "My parents didn't listen to what they said, but they told the truth.
A single blow will not destroy the Dream Chaser. However, the lack of support from family members will make the dreamer confused about whether he should continue to move forward on this path. Try to find a platform to promote yourself, which I can't do. I'm not a person who can get on the stage, and I forget to even sing a song at a class event in college. I still remember the recitation competition in college, and when I talked about the most fascinating part, my mind suddenly went blank. Looking into the spotlight, I kept a gesture that I couldn't understand, trying to remember the rest of the story. Unfortunately, thirty seconds later I still couldn't figure it out. The more nervous you are, the easier it is to forget words, so in addition to memorizing the full text, you should also focus on memorizing a few key words. If possible, you can observe your surroundings in the recitation hall beforehand and associate the words with those around you. When forgetting, the brain recalls the key words that may enable the reciter to connect with the context, and when the reciter sees things around him and thinks of words, it may also make the reciter remember the following. I'm just the one who can't get on stage anyway. Socrates said, "Know thyself." "I am a person with low self-esteem, autism and depression, no wonder I have no friends, after all, everyone likes cheerful people and does not like people like me.
We have a lot of dreams, when we are young, we aspire to be pilots, scientists, astronauts, and when we grow up, we aspire to be celebrities, billionaires, and people in power. Now ask a child, and he will say excitedly, "I want to be rich." "As long as you want to be rich, uncle, I still want to be rich. As long as we have wisdom and courage, we can realize our dreams, and the premise is that we have money. My dreams are incompatible with money worship, and once upon a time I found myself in this situation. Incompetent.
Wrote a play for the morning, two thousand words. "Don't I have the talent to write...... "The outside world has a great influence on me, but for a dreamer, I have the greatest impact on myself. Being disabled is not terrible, Zhijian can win. If you are confused about the road ahead, discouragement will follow, and if you don't adjust your mentality, giving up your dream will become the end of the dreamer. Looking at the brilliant playwrights on the page, I sighed and prepared for lunch.
"Why hasn't the food been cooked yet? It's really lazy to stay at home all day and not even cook. The old man said that he could be cured, but laziness could not be cured. I think we'll marry you off and make you a son-in-law. However, if a person like you becomes a son-in-law, people will still dislike it. "My parents, who taunt me every day, may have more talent for being an author than I am.
2,000 words in the morning, at least 3,000 words in the afternoon is worthy of this day. As a result, when it was time for dinner, I still hadn't completed the 5,000-word self-requirement. "I really should be looking for a job...... "I want to find a job that suits me, but no one will want me for a waste like me who can't communicate with people." Even if someone asks for me, they will soon dislike me. Staying in a company that dislikes itself, staying in a company that I can't contribute, I'll find my own way out. It's just that in the end, what is in front of me is often a dead end.
I'm familiar with my parents' nagging. It's not that I don't want to refute. On the one hand, they are telling the truth, although they are telling the truth. On the other hand, I'm already tired. The body is tired, the heart is also tired, and I don't want to resist. Under the immaterial personal attacks again and again, I did what I had to do, watched boring TV dramas after dinner, and then wrote plays for a while. "Even though no one wants to read it, it's still written as always. I really want to have a split personality, at least one person can accompany me. β
Late at night, I was still writing. Ordinary day, ordinary night. Looking out the window, is there a fellow believer in the distance who is struggling silently? I bless you, but I don't want you to bless me. It's selfish, but misfortune will happen to those I have a relationship with. Please don't give up, even if everyone including me does, don't give up. The responsibility is very heavy, and ordinary people can't bear it. The heavens will descend on the Si people. The future is long, forgive me for not being able to be by your side. I, in fact, am not qualified to bless you.
At six o'clock, wake up. Hurriedly dressed in formal clothes and making the bed, I walked out of the room. My parents haven't gotten up yet, but I have to go out.
The company I work for is in the city, and to get there, you have to take a bus to a subway and then a bus. I don't own my own car, and since the company is located in a high-rise building in a busy area, I can't find a suitable parking space even if I have a car. Needless to say, during rush hour, if I start driving to the office at 7 o'clock, I will probably be charged as late when I arrive. The company's morning clock-in time is half past eight in the morning, and I need to go to the company half an hour early to clean the office for everyone. It's not a daily task for me, but because I'm new and everyone is busy, the manager gives me this responsibility. It's much faster to take the subway than to get stuck in traffic. It took me time to transfer to the bus, but as long as I got to the office before 6:20, I was in time.
My salary is 3,000 yuan, and I don't have insurance during the probationary period. After the probationary period, my salary will be increased to a certain extent, and the cost of insurance purchased by the company will be deducted from my salary. My job is sales. Legally, I was able to market for the company in my own capacity. I can sell online, I can sell by phone, I can make door-to-door visits, I can hand out flyers. As long as I can sell products for the company in my name, I will get a commission. The base salary is dead, and the commission is alive. The more I sell, the more I get paid. As long as I do well in sales, I can still bring my basic salary to life β I can raise my basic salary and get promoted, which is a wonderful thing.
"Yi Jiahe, deal with this document. β
"Yes. β
"Yi Jiahe, pour some water for me. β
"Yes. β
"Yi Jiahe, I don't have time, you go to the city in the afternoon to distribute leaflets. β
"Yes. β
"Yi Jiahe, you will make this kind of mistake, it shouldn't be!"
"Boss, I'm sorry, I was wrong. β
"The next time you do it, you'll be deducted points, and you know the consequences. β
"Boss, don't. I'll work hard. "At this time, I should be a sycophant, but I am honest, and I didn't say it when I thought of it. I'm so stupid.
At noon, I bought a loaf of bread to eat.
"Yi Jiahe, we're going to have lunch together, you can come too." β
"Good. "Hide your bread and go to lunch with your colleagues.
"Isn't this the boss of the partner company, why are you here? By the way, this is my colleagues...... That was the new Yi Jiahe, and he was a good colleague. β
Towards the end of lunch, the boss of the cooperative company said: "It's rare for everyone to get together, and I have a treat for this meal." β
My colleague hurriedly leaned into my ear and said, "I just introduced you to the boss of the partner company." Be smart, lad. β
"Thank you, boss, for your kindness. However, for this meal, I invited ......"
In the afternoon, in the city, I braved the scorching sun to hand out flyers alone. A colleague said: "When you distribute flyers, customers will ask about them, and then these customers will be yours." β
"Handsome guy, take a look...... Beauty, this product is very good, why don't you try it......"
Sweating profusely, losing confidence. Looking at the leaflets that became garbage flying on the road, I thought to myself that environmental workers have more work to do. "I don't know if I'll be caught and criticized in public. "However, the most chilling thing for me is that at the end of the day, someone asks, and no one wants to place an order. Even if someone wants to buy something, it won't be mine, after all, the contact person for these flyers is the colleague who asked me to send it.
"Am I not talented enough to integrate into society?"
At the end of the day, I returned home exhausted. I thought my parents were home, but my parents were still away. I called them, and my mother said that she accompanied my father out to deliver goods and didn't come home for dinner. "Good son, mom knows you work hard. You can go to a fast food restaurant outside to eat, and your parents will come back to reimburse you. By the way, someone in the same village introduced you to a girl, and you can go and see it when you have time this week. β
Lying on the bed, hungry, I stared at the white ceiling. I got up and found some overnight food to eat, and I took off my clothes and showered. It was a hot day, and I splashed a basin of cold water on myself, and the chill was biting. In the mirror, his hair is dripping and his face is haggard. Gently patting myself on the cheek, I smiled my trademark smile in the mirror, which was no different from myself at work. I threw a basin of water directly on myself again, and I went crazy and scattered my hair and looked in the mirror, where I was full of vicissitudes.
Hiding his face and crying, there is a river of grief, and there is a lonely soul in the humble bathroom.
"So, what are you trying to express?" I lowered my arm and looked up at myself in the mirror. The mirror swayed, and the mirror image turned into a pitch-black figure.
"Yi Jia and his classmates deserve to be ......"
"Flattery is avoided. What are you trying to drag me into this illusion?"
Chen Yaofei, who was carrying Xie Changge, and I came to the elevator at the end of the passage. There are no windows in the passage to confirm the engulfment of darkness, and no zombies to stop us. Chen Yaofei put down Xie Changge and leaned him against the wall of the elevator, and then after confirming that Xie Changge was fine, he turned around and sat on the ground with Xie Changge gasping for breath. I waited for Xie Changge to sit down, first examined Xie Changge's condition from the surface, and then used a trace amount of Youyan to heal Xie Changge and Chen Yaofei's bodies. Although the Flame can heal the wound, it will take some time, and the Flame will not be able to restore the strength of the two of you and me.
"I didn't expect, ha, ha, we could really get here...... Go home. Chen Yaofei wiped the sweat from his forehead and adjusted Xie Changge's sitting posture.
"Yes," I glanced at Xie Changge, who was still in a coma, and said to Chen Yaofei, "We can finally go home." β
Chen Yaofei was sweating profusely and showed a silly smile at me. Suddenly, his expression became serious, as if he had seen something strange behind me.
"Yi Jiahe, be careful!"
Before the words fell, I didn't look at it, I was grabbed by something and dragged out of the elevator away from Chen Yaofei and Xie Changge. Chen Yaofei shouted my name and chased him out, but as soon as he came out, the elevator door slowly closed.
"Chen Yaofei, go back, the elevator door is about to close!" I shouted at Chen Yaofei as I was being dragged away. Chen Yaofei turned around and found that the elevator was gradually closing, so he quickly returned to the elevator and pressed the door button to prevent the elevator from closing.
I struggled to grab the hand behind me, but I couldn't touch them. Immediately understood who was dragging me, I ignited the flames, and the other party finally let go of me.
"Ah, it's so dangerous, I almost burned me to death. A dark shadow hovers in midair.
I gasped and stood up to confront the shadow, "You bastard, why do you want to get in our way when we're about to get out!"
"It's not my will, it's the wish of everyone in the ward. No," the shadow flew towards me when he saw that I had extinguished the flames, and when I had ignited them, he stepped back and said to me, "I am not here to stop you from going home, but to prevent you from coming home. β
"What?"
The dark shadow replied to me: "Now, what you understand as good and evil are attributed to the power of the sick ward, and I am naturally a part of the sick ward. Since I am a collection of human will in the sick room, since everyone is about to merge into one, I have nothing to say. However, now the ward has given me an order to devour you with incredible power and make you a part of our whole. β
"What are you kidding? I'm from the outside world, and I can't fight you. β
The black shadow said, "Yi Jia and classmates, this is not something you can decide. Hey, it's a pity, how good it was for you and me to be one. If you are devoured by the Sick Room, you will become the puppet of the Sick Room, wandering the other dimension like the walking dead forever. β
"I refuse both. I will not be devoured by you, nor will I be devoured by the sick building. β
"What I said expressed the thoughts of the people, but the thoughts of everyone were gradually dying out and becoming unified. Today, I can say that I am a real part of the ward. Whether I devour you, or the other forces in the ward, or the approaching darkness devouring you, the result is the same. The shadow turned, and I looked behind it. The first light on the bright passage has gone out, and darkness has begun to creep in.
"I was very surprised, that guy turned out to be Xie Tianwen in Xie Changge's thoughts. Seeing the look on your face that wants to ask Xie Tian how the situation is, I will answer you. The truth is, I don't know what happened to him. Fusion with a little power of the ward, I know that Xie Tianwen was swallowed by darkness, but I don't know if he ended up belonging to the ward. The shadow stepped back into the light before the darkness and said to me, "As a result of the darkness completely engulfing the sick room, I think thank God for telling you." I've already told you why I'm here. The next choice is to accept me or resist me, Yi Jia and you yourself. β
The shadow flew some distance towards me as if sensing the exact time of the darkness coming, and the darkness behind it immediately swallowed up the next area.
"Yi Jiahe!" Chen Yaofei was calling me. I turned to look at Chen Yaofei, who was looking at me worriedly while pressing the elevator button, ready to leave the elevator and rush to me.
I ran to Chen Yaofei and shouted to him, "Yaofei, think about Xie Changge." You can't run out of the elevator!"
In an instant, it was pitch black, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the ceiling of my room.
"My purpose is to devour you, and so it has been. However, I used to follow your own wishes, and now because of the control of the ward, I must impose coercive measures on you. The shadow answered me.
"So you're using this illusion to trap me in the past, and then you can devour me?"
"It's not all. Rejecting this illusion, you are clearly the object that I can't devour yet. "The Dark Shadow gave me a hint.
"You're just stalling for time at the request of the sick building and letting the darkness consume me, right?"
The black shadow clasped his hands together and said, "One word is broken, beautiful." β
"I ask you, why did you wait until I had run some distance before letting me fall into a hallucination?"
"Two reasons. One reason is that I have to take advantage of your unpreparedness to hallucinate you. Another reason...... I developed a deep curiosity about you. After observing you and getting to know you for a while, I suddenly realized that you and I are not compatible at all. Rather than being swallowed up by darkness and becoming a soulless shell, I would be merciful enough to grant you a chance to be born again. β
"It's not a small tone. Something black, I ask you, why do you think I can't blend with you at all?"
The shadow was silent.
"Don't worry, I won't beat you. I clenched my fist.
The sudden appearance of the shadow of mine made me feel angry. Just as I was about to say a few words, the "I" in the mirror grinned, "Because of you, I don't have a heart at all." β
"Uh, are you talking figuratively or are you real?" I looked at my chest.
"Yi Jiahe, classmate," as soon as the "I" in the mirror came out of the mirror, the bathroom expanded to all directions, and instantly became a completely white space, "This is the world I peep into from your thoughts." β
I am silent.
Seeing that I didn't speak, the black shadow continued: "At first glance, the world looks white, but when you remove the pale fragments, there is darkness inside. β
The space is shattered, white followed by black.
"These blackness are the negative emotions in your heart, manifested through your seven sins. Gluttony, you will always take this opportunity to vent your sorrows. Lust, lonely you fantasize about a woman who can kiss your skin. Greedy, you have more arrogant ambitions than tyrants. Laziness, for which your parents often abuse you. Anger, this is how you reveal yourself. Jealousy is caused by the lack of warm feelings around you. Arrogant and modest, you are a false god who looks down on the world. Yi Jiahe, you have a filthy body and a rotten soul. Under the overwhelming pressure, you leave your body scarred. In the midst of the confusion, you let your soul go to hell. β
"So, you're here to accuse me that I shouldn't continue to live in this world?"
The "I" who turned into a black shadow shook his head and said, "I thought that you were the perfect container for me to fuse, but I was wrong. Lookβ"
The black comes off and the rear is white.
"You're not clean white, and you're not just black. I've never seen a thought like yours, a deep despair, but hopeful. β
"So, although I'm bad, I'm still a good person at heart. β
The shadow closed its eyes and said, "Essence......" It opened its eyes and put its hand on my chest.
"Why, is it warm? It will be warmer if I burn the flame. I said with a wicked smile.
The shadow didn't retract his hand, silently feeling my heartbeat.
"Sure enough......," the shadow whispered.
"Huh?"
"Humans are human because they have intelligence and emotions that are very different from those of animals. Animals chase love instinctively, while humans are different. Choose a mate, get along, nurture crystallization, and accompany each other for the rest of your life...... Most of what I've learned about human thoughts is this. However, Yi Jia and classmates, you don't have a heart at all, how can you love this kind of thing?" the black shadow smirked.
"What's so funny?"
"I just think Yi Jia and your classmates are so interesting. Ah, what the hell is this? Yi Jia and his classmates, who are human but have no qualifications as human beings, are the 'disqualified', the aliens who wander between peace and madness. β
"Ha, ha, ha. Is it good to talk about people?"
"You know everything I'm saying. Are you reluctant to admit this fact because you can't identify with yourself? No...... Yi Jia and classmates, you don't care about this at all. β
Everything around them changed, black and white blended together, and the whole space was chaotic.
"Yi Jia and classmates, this is your heart. I'm very interested in containers like yours, but I can't get along with you. The black shadow lowered his hand and returned to its original form, and watched the spatial changes with me, and said to me, "At the end of this chaos, I see an otherworldly existence. It was an existence that I could not touch, but it was an existence that I longed to touch. What it is, 'disqualified', only you know. β
The scene shifts, and I go back to the passage. Chen Yaofei stood at the elevator entrance and looked at me.
Looking back, the darkness was behind the shadow.
"Time is running out," the dark shadow said to me, "the ward's grip on me is getting stronger and stronger, and the thoughts in the other space will be completely integrated with the ward. Yi Jia and classmates, the ward will not let you go. As long as you are here, neither Chen Yaofei nor Xie Changge can leave here. β
"You mean, I have to stay here?"
"Yes. You will be devoured by me, you will be devoured by darkness, you will be devoured by the sick building. Your companion will then be released from this alternate dimension under the control of the ward. Trade you for the lives of your two companions, or fight desperately and end up with all three of you being swallowed up by darkness? β
"Yi Jiahe!" Chen Yaofei didn't dare to move his fingers, and Xie Changge was still unconscious.
"I don't bother to think about brain cells. Speaking of which, laziness is one of my seven sins. Well, I'm here to stay, so please tell the ward to send my two companions out. β
The Black Shadow nodded to me and said, "Ask your companion to close the elevator door, and then press the number button on the floor where Du Ming and I took you down, and you can return to your world." β
"Don't, I don't want it!" Chen Yaofei looked like a girl watching her husband go on the expedition.
Yaofei, obedient, close the door, and then go back with Xie Changge. β
"Don't. To go together, to stay together. Chen Yaofei said and put down his hand holding down the elevator button.
I immediately rushed forward and pushed him into the elevator. The elevator doors didn't close because I was standing in the elevator and the ward didn't allow me to leave.
"Anyway, I'm a high school student, crying and crying. I said to Chen Yaofei, who was leaning in the elevator and his eyes were glazed by my heavy push, "I can't go back, you and Xie Changge go back together." β
"I don't want ......"
"I'm so annoyed!" I slammed the elevator to scare Chen Yaofei, "I hate people like you the mostβalthough I really want to say so, but I can't hate you." Whether it's you who are stupid, or Xie Changge, who always tells me to 'go away', I treat it as if it were my own. β
I looked up at Chen Yaofei, his eyes full of tears.
"Yi Jia and classmates, time is running out. I can wait for you, but the ward can't. If you don't come out again, I'll have to go in. β
"Got it. A dying farewell is not a good memory. After finishing speaking, I wiped away Chen Yaofei's tears, and then squatted down and used Youyan to relieve Xie Changge's pain. Although it was only a few seconds, I thought Xie Changge must be fine.
Without turning my head to leave the elevator, I heard Chen Yaofei calling my name.
"Go back, Yaofei, and go back to your world with Xie Changge. β
The cry of "Yi Jia and ......" disappeared under the closure of the elevator door.
"Don't you regret it?" asked the Shadow.
"Come on. I replied to the shadow.
Darkness took over my vision, and my body fell like a heavy stone into a deep pool.
"Is this really okay?" the flirtatious black shadow spoke to me in a non-flirtatious voice, which made me uncomfortable.
"Yi Jia and classmates, I said that I have your thoughts. I can't make it to the end of chaos, but what you have on the surface is enough to make me cheer. However, this is too boring. The shadow said flirtatiously in its high-pitched voice, "I can't let you just be consumed by the sick room. You are my thing. β
"Hehe, aren't you going to belong to the ward in the end?"
"That's right. That's why I'm going to make a big fuss while I still have my own strength. β
"What are you going to do?"
"Use your body to break the elevator door, pull all your companions back into this space, and let them be buried with us!"
Consciousness blurred, and my body wouldn't listen to me.
"Bastard ......"
"Come on, Yi Jia and classmates, use your strength, just like you did when you fought with zombie Gu, to annihilate all good and evil......!"
The blue flames were extinguished in the darkness. Stumbling a few steps, I sat down against the wall by the elevator door. It was already dark in the passage, and the zombies were bound to swarm in. The Shadow got what it expected, even though that was what I wanted to do with it. "Destroy me with your blue flame as I devour you, and remove me from this ward once and for all. Why, you seem reluctant? Sorry, I'm thinking too much. 'Disqualified', don't think like that. Of course, as a conglomeration of human wills in the ward, I will be reborn, hoping that you will no longer be in the ward by then, otherwise I will pursue you madly once I come into contact with your thoughts. Bye-bye, Yi Jia and classmates. If you are unfortunate enough to escape from the ward, I will be waiting for you here, because if you survive, you will one day ......" The black shadow disappeared in the flames.
"Ha, ha, ha......" something stirred in the dark.
It's too fast, could it be that the sick hall is in a hurry? What's the hurry, I can't escape anyway. Ha...... I don't have the heart to feel about life. Born from crying and dying out of silence, this kind of life is quite in line with people like me. I don't know if Xie Changge and Chen Yaofei went out? If I knew that they didn't get out and were trapped in the ward, even if they were broken, I would have ruined the ward.
"Ha, ha, ha......" The stench was overwhelming, and the black-eyed zombie was right in front of my eyes.
"Hah...... You're big!" Burning Flame, three black-eyed zombies with their hands outstretched towards me turned to ashes. The other black-eyed zombies retreated one after another when they saw the light.
The flames burned out, and I laughed wickedly. Tired and tired, my limbs were weak, and I couldn't even change my posture to look better. It's the same to die horizontally and vertically. I always wanted to pay attention to my image, but in the end, I still lost my image.
Squinting at the elevator's lights, I breathed a sigh of relief. The lights went out, which meant that Chen Yaofei and the others had gone out.
I'm the only one left alive in the Walking Dead Ward. It's really lonely to be alone.
"Take me away, to your realm. β
Closing my eyes, I was mentally prepared to feel the sharp pain of my body being torn apart.
A light flickered in front of him, and the black-eyed zombie's "click" cry came from his ears.
"Yi Jiahe!" a familiar voice.
Opening my heavy eyelids, I saw someone reaching out to me with a hand that seemed to shine with the dawn of dawn.
"Divine ......," I stretched out my hand and held it tightly, and said after I was pulled into the elevator, "How is it possible, of course it's Chen Yaofei, a bastard boy." β
"Easy ...... Jiahe ......, "Xie Changge, who woke up, leaned against me and looked at me weakly.
"Hah
"Close the door quickly...... Chen Yaofei, who was in a hurry, pressed the elevator door close button and forgot what he said to me at the beginning.
The elevator doors slowly closed, and the black-eyed zombies could not enter the elevator.
"Ahh
"Time to go. β
With difficulty getting up, my body trembled, I walked up to the red-eyed zombie and put my hand on its head and said, "I'm sorry, it seems that my uncle, I shouldn't die." β
The elevator door closed, and a relieved Chen Yaofei took a few steps back and leaned against the elevator with me. So, the three of us sat side by side.
"I've pressed the number keys, why hasn't the elevator started?" Chen Yaofei asked, looking at the elevator button board.
Xie Changge didn't answer, leaning on my arm with his eyes closed.
"I'm sorry, probably because of me. A feeble smile.
"That's right. Chen Yaofei leaned on my arm with Xie Changge, closed his eyes and asked me calmly, "Yi Jiahe, can't we go back?"
"Perhaps. I answered honestly.
Chen Yaofei was silent, and Xie Changge was silent.
I hugged Chen Yaofei and Xie Changge into my arms and said to them sincerely: "Don't worry, don't be afraid, don't be sad, eternal life will always be with you." Let's go home together. β
"Together, go home. Xie Changge finished speaking, and the elevator started. Take a hundred plating and read the latest chapter of "Don't Forget the Blessing and Misfortune of the Past Book House" for free for the first time.
