Red got his long-awaited fairness, he had the same body as a normal person, no longer weak or powerless. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"A dream that has been a dream for a long time has come true, and the infinite sense of emptiness has come like a tide." Red sighed.
"Emptiness is very normal, only desire will make people move forward, all your emptiness is because you have reached a new state and you don't know anything about it, which produces a sense of confusion in the moment." The old man leaned against a trash can and rummaged through the garbage, and he glanced at Red again, intentionally or unintentionally, "You can go." ”
"You don't have to live in this garbage heap." Red couldn't help but ask.
"I want to clean up the environment around the world." The old man said lightly.
Red was stunned: "As long as you have money......"
"Money can't solve all problems, and it can't change people's hearts." After speaking, the old man seemed to have lost interest and left hobbling away with a garbage bag.
Looking at the old man's back, Red quietly buried a heart in his heart to fulfill the old man's wishes.
Since then, Red has tried all sorts of jobs, washing dishes in a restaurant, and he was soon dismissed because he struggled to cope with his noble background.
Then he found some jobs that seemed stable, but unfortunately it was difficult for him to accept him because he didn't even have a degree, and he was strong on the surface and arrogant in his heart, and he didn't bother to start from the bottom and fell into the biggest predicament.
Hanging out with some petty thieves on the street every day was good at first, but later, Red, who couldn't speak, offended a local ruffian and had to drag his broken body to lie down in a small alley after being beaten up.
Soon affected by the cold, he was almost dying in the days of drowsiness and hunger, and he collapsed on the ground like a beggar begging for alms. Until a boy in a white hood found him and gave him hundreds of thousands, all of a sudden he became rich.
The ups and downs of life are not such a joke, it turns out that this hooded boy is a friend of the second son of the Edward family, and he gave the money to Red this time because Red paid more.
What is this? I've only heard of too many things, but I haven't heard of people who can still find money.
Red took the money without hesitation, and the embarrassment in front of him had to make him accept the money. With the money, he managed to rent a very ordinary house in the local area, and he realized where his biggest mistake was, he went to a school, paid the money in it, and said to the teachers there: "I just want to learn the real skills, and to hell with those useless theories!" If you can do a good job, the money will be yours. ”
After saying that, Red slapped the whole 100,000 on the table, and almost all the teachers stared at the money with greedy eyes, eager to pounce on it and swallow it immediately.
In the days that followed, Red also got the real skills he wanted, he learned architectural design, learned some manual crafts, learned the law, etc., which also drained the money he had.
Red, who had learned to support himself, was in his twenties, and he found that the money was not enough for him to study again, so he decided to join the army.
His career in the barracks allowed him to strengthen his body and increase his strength, but unfortunately, even then he had a fatal flaw. That's ......... It's hard to communicate with people.
Since he was a child, he hardly talked to anyone, he was still in the barracks, he was beaten and bullied on the first day, angry, arrogant and stubborn, he resolutely raised his slender arm and shook the strong man who was twice as thick as him, just this signal, a room of people had an excuse to bully him, everyone was very measured, and would not affect his fracture the next day, but a bruise on his body would also make him feel pain.
Once again, Red has a new wish, and he secretly vows to make all those who bully him pay.
Red worked harder and harder day by day, knowing that he was already in his thirties the day before he was about to leave the barracks, the whole person was completely different from the bean sprouts-like figure when he first came, forming a stark contrast, the explosive feeling brought by the strong muscles seemed to be able to tear his thin shirt, the inverted triangle figure seemed to be able to withstand this piece of world, his face had long lost the immaturity when he first came, in exchange for a resolute and meticulous military color, washed away the lead, polished away the edges and corners, The only thing that immediately made him feel was his composure.
On the last night, he fulfilled the vow he had made in his heart, knocking everyone who had bullied him to the ground.
He finally looked at those who had been knocked down, and there was only peace in his eyes, and that was when Red learned the bad habit of smoking.
Back in society, Red took advantage of his exit from the army and chose to find a job on his own, becoming a teacher at a university.
It was in this process that he met Linna, who was also a teacher, so the two were just simple friends at first, until one time Linna's boyfriend kept pestering Lina and was saved by Uncle Red by chance, and the relationship between the two really began.
The two also went crazy, and they also got entangled to do bold things, and soon after they got married, they had their own house, and they had a real life for two people, and just when they were planning to have a child, Linna's family took a series of measures.
In fact, Lina's family was opposed at first, and it was difficult for them to accept a rebellious person like Red into their home, and it was difficult for him to accept his family's orphan status.
Linna's family used the power of the in-laws who were originally married to her to constantly cause trouble for Red, but it didn't matter with Red's state of mind, he felt that it was great to be able to marry Linna, and he didn't want to let go.
It's a pity that Lina doesn't think so, she is getting more and more panicked, she is afraid that Red will only bring her peace of mind on the surface, and the troubles will shake Linna even more, and finally Linna will file for divorce from Red in the most ruthless way.
Red's world was gray again, and he left all his possessions to Lina, wandering the streets like a walking corpse, drinking all night and falling asleep in his chair.
The next day he miraculously reverted to his usual form, except that there was no woman named Lina in his world.
He quit his job as a teacher to work as a construction engineer to avoid contact with Lina, lecturing at some engineering schools, and the thirty-seven-year-old Red lived a dull life.
He didn't notice a girl who looked at him with adoration every time he went to class, and it was just like that after a dull year, the girl jumped up and down into his field of vision.
Her youth and vitality brought a new life to Red, and Red was gradually moved by this wonderful youth that he had never had, and he gradually accepted the girl, who was then twenty years old.
The girl likes to chase trends, which is not seen in the girls Red knows, and he feels new and accepts the promotion and salary increase given to him by his superiors, in order to let this girl have a rich life and do what she likes every day.
When Red was forty years old, the girl was already married to him, and Red was already a very wealthy man. That day, he sat confined to the rocking chair at home, shaking and reading a heavy book. Just as he was about to put down his book and take a break, his phone rang and he got a text message.........
Uncle Red, thank you for loving me over the years, and you know that I am a girl. I have a boy I like, so ......... I'm sorry..........
Red closed his eyes, as if accepting all this, he gently put down his phone and lay down in his chair and fell asleep.
It didn't take long for him to discover the facts that made him unacceptable, girl........ The marriage certificate with him is fake! She swept away all his money without saying a word!
So........
"So I'm guarding the empty house I'm leaving?" Red's dry voice echoed through the empty house, and the question went unanswered.
Red fell completely silent, and he hugged the quilt and watched TV all night. And the next day I went to work as if nothing happened, as usual.
A few days later, he got the news that the girl had been in a car accident with his car, and although his face was calm and his heart was anxious, he arrived at the girl's hospital bed as soon as possible.
At this time, the girl was unrecognizable, and her life was maintained by a thick tube.
When Red sat down next to the girl, the girl opened her eyes, and she didn't dodge Red's gaze. There was no questioning or anger in Red's eyes.
"Red...... This is the last time I call you by name........ Actually, I don't love you....... I just adore you, and the sense of security I felt after walking with you is something I have never felt....... I'm really nostalgic....... But! ”
The girl coughed twice, and then the words changed: "This is not what I want." The girl's words became smoother, and Red couldn't help but straighten his waist and prick up his ears carefully.
"I'm still in a flowering age, it's the noisy age, it's the time to be active. When I'm with you, even if I'm at ease, that kind of ordinary life is not what I want. I want something varied, full of adventure and challenge. Maybe you haven't experienced youth........." The girl's voice weakened, and at the look of her, Red knew that the next word of apology was to apologize.
"Uncle...... Since I was with you for a year, I fell in love with a boy who was very cool in his dress and movements, and I was very attracted to him. Although he is a little vulgar and not very cultured, I might as well like his wild feeling. With the money you give me every day, I kept him like most mistresses, until he told me that I told him I wanted to divorce you, and he was a little unusual, but I didn't care. I really don't dare to propose it to you when I look at you with such a good heart, I can't imagine if you will be angry, I took everything away, in order to cut off relations with you and no longer rely on you, like a parasite to suck your blood........" The girl's deep confession Red listened to her ears.
The last thing Red asked was, "You're just doing this for that boy?" ”
"Nope! It's just for my own selfish desires. The girl replied.
Red fell into deep thought, and he walked down the road thinking about it all: "I..... What kind of person is he? Neither good nor evil. If I'm honest? That must be an idiot. Obviously, I've done such unconscionable things. ”
On the way back, he remembered the oath he had secretly made under the old man's back, he patted his face and looked at the glass of the clothing store on the side, he was already full of beard, and he couldn't hide his age at all.
Something seemed to flicker on the glass, and he turned to look at an advertisement on the building, showing a funny clown pointing to the screen in front of a huge playground and saying the words that made Red care the most: Do you want to make your wish come true?
Red raised his head and made up his final determination to fulfill his last unfulfilled vow....... Fulfill the old man's wish.
