Chapter 23: A Strange Disease

Happy times are always short-lived, the four years of college passed in a hurry, the matter of the abandoned teaching building was perfectly solved, and the president did not trouble Zhao Qitian.

It is not by chance that people in high positions can get to that position, their IQ and pattern are different from ordinary people, and it is very unwise for things that have already been done to make waves again.

With the perfect completion of the new teaching building, Zhao Qitian became popular in the engineering industry, with more and more business, and people getting busier and busier, almost never going back to school, of course, he still graduated successfully.

Feilong and Zhou Tong miraculously maintained their relationship, and before leaving, they asked us to wait for the entourage.

The sissy went to the holy land of pseudo-motherhood transformation, saying that she planned to be a real woman, and we all provided spiritual support, but the woman who became a man is estimated to be unreal, and his parts are different.

Li Sisi and the sissy went together, and the relationship between the two is a bit strange, but turnip pickles have their own loves, and we as classmates can't talk small.

Zhang Ying and I also persevered, although we have quarreled in the past four years, but we have come through ups and downs.

After the incident of abandoning the teaching building, I have never experienced anything supernatural, and non-human beings such as Huang Tianlin and Xiaobai have never appeared, if it weren't for the fact that the Shougong Sand on my arm often hurts faintly because of Zhang Ying, I really have to forget these things.

After graduation, we each went back to our hometown, and agreed to keep in touch, and if I could handle Xiaobai's affairs, I would marry her, and she would always wait for me.

That night, I sat in the empty dormitory and drank two bottles of one-pound Erguotou, but I couldn't control my tears.

There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, but how much bitterness and reluctance there are at the end of the scene, and a few people can understand it, as well as me and Zhang Ying, people are facing economic and family problems when they fall in love, and we have risen directly to the metaphysical aspect, which is not something that can be easily solved by manpower.

I once fantasized that if the university could never end, and Xiaobai and they would never appear, how good it would be to go on like this, but this is just a fantasy after all, the gears of time will not be reversed, and the long river of years will not go against the current.

The next day, I was woken up by the dormitory manager, and I found myself asleep on the table, still holding a wine bottle in my arms.

The dormitory manager said that there are people like me when they graduate every year, and slowly you will find that what you are nostalgic about now will eventually become a passing cloud, and there will be no trace after a small wave in the long river of memories.

I was stunned by the uncle, but I didn't expect that the old man, who usually struggles to communicate, is still a hermit master, a philosopher of poisonous chicken soup.

I was already in an extremely bad mood, and after being empowered by chicken soup, I felt even more uncomfortable, coupled with the effect of a hangover, and walked out of the dormitory building with my luggage in three steps.

The dazzling sunlight made me a little dizzy, and I slowly came to the school gate with my suitcase and took a taxi to the station.

When I returned to my hometown, I was a little overwhelmed by the empty old house, and my grandparents were taken care of by the elders of the family because of their age, and now I am the only one left.

The incense case for Xiaobai was already covered with dust, so I cleaned it up briefly, lit three sticks of incense, and looked into the red paper.

I didn't see Xiaobai, I didn't see the cave, as if nothing existed.

I didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but when the incense burned out, I carefully removed the red paper and put it in my luggage.

I didn't stay in my hometown for long, but went to the building in the county, I am used to the city life and I think it will make me more comfortable, anyway, I am alone, where is not the same.

I'm going to take a break here for a while and then look for a job, and it stands to reason that our graduates don't have to worry about work, so I'm not in a hurry.

However, I actually lay on my stomach during this break.

Yes, I'm actually sick again, this time it's not the same as the previous two times, I don't have anything to do when I'm idle, and when I want to find a job, my whole body will be sore, numb, and painful, so I ****.

No one will believe this kind of thing, but people will say that I am not motivated, I don't want to work, and I just want to gnaw at the old.

I was so frightened that I played games at home every day, and I didn't dare to look for a job, but now I don't have any interest in playing games that I used to be interested in.

I'm confused, I've graduated from college, and I don't want to ask my family for money anymore, but the little pocket money I've saved up is almost gone.

Soon I will face the hardships of life, and not only the difficulties in front of me, but also whether there is a bright future, can I live without money in these years? The answer is no.

Finally one day, I figured out that I had read a lot of books on mental illness during this time, and there was no such disease at all, it was definitely a surgical disease, so I sent a message to Zhou Tong and asked her to help find her cousin to show me.

Zhou Tong was worried about my situation, and immediately contacted his cousin, but her cousin said that he couldn't take care of my affairs and didn't dare to take care of it, and expressed deep apologies.

Zhou Tong and Feilong were very unhappy about this situation, and one of them sent me a thousand red envelopes, saying that they didn't need to pay it back, and they would tell them if they needed it in the future.

I was so moved that my eyes were sore, but I didn't receive the red envelope, and if this disease can't be cured, I don't even have the ability to repay the favor.

Zhou Tong's cousin couldn't work here, so I called Zhao Qitian again, and he was busy outside, and after hearing about it, he drove back from the provincial capital in a car that day.

We went to our favorite barbecue stand and ordered a case of beer.

Zhao Qitian deliberately wore casual clothes, probably because he was afraid that I would have a gap, but temperament can't be hidden, he is becoming more and more like a boss.

And my situation will only get bigger and bigger with him, although he will not dislike me as a poor friend, but I am still a little uncomfortable in my heart, and the saying that the rich and the poor do not intersect is not unreasonable.

I asked Zhao Qitian where he went, Zhao Qitian said that he had wandered, and before leaving, he specially instructed Zhao Qitian if I looked for him, just tell me that he couldn't control this matter, everything has a fixed number, let me keep a normal heart, and I will bloom after the storm.

I couldn't hear it well, I dried a bottle of big green sticks in one gulp, and the flowers were blooming, and I was about to wither.

Zhao Qitian also blew a bottle and said that you don't have to worry about Labor Day, I know you don't like to owe others, but what is the relationship between us, you just spend me, when the disease is cured, just pay me back.

The Taoist chief told me that you will be terrible in the future, and money will be like a floating cloud in your eyes, so you want me to hug your thighs.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly, the Taoist chief is comforting me, as long as I maintain my current situation, it's boring to live.

We drank until the early hours of the morning that day, and in the middle of the night, the owner of the barbecue stall urged us, and Zhao Qitian directly threw a few red tickets over, saying that it would be ours to lose things from the stall tomorrow, and these were enough.

The barbecue stall owner nodded and left, I couldn't help but envy, this is what people should live.

Zhao Qitian sent me home in the morning, and then found a substitute driver to go back by himself, I found that I couldn't drink him anymore, and his alcohol consumption had been trained by this society to the bottom.

I was drunk for two days, and on the third day I was fully awake, and I didn't want to stay at home, so I went out for a walk.

Walking through the small county town that is not bustling, walking on the country road, I don't know where I am going, and I keep walking with the feeling.

My mind was surprisingly calm, a feeling I hadn't felt in a long time, and I've been living with anxiety since I graduated.

I don't know if there was something pulling me in the dark, but I actually came to the temple in a neighboring county.

I walked more than 20 miles, from morning to noon.

Standing at the gate of the temple and looking at the vermilion wooden gate, my heart was sour.

Unlike the provincial capital, the temple does not charge admission, so I pushed the door and walked in.

There wasn't a single pilgrim in the temple, and before I could figure out how this could happen, a man dressed as a layman came out of the guard's room.

He said that the temple does not accept pilgrims today, so let me come back another day.

I said that I had walked more than 20 miles to get there, and I wanted to burn incense and worship in the Jizo Temple.

He said that then he couldn't let me in, and that the Jizo King Bodhisattva was not subject to incense.

We talked at the door for a long time, and no matter what I said, he wouldn't let me in, but I finally managed to attract the attention of the others.

A monk came over, asked what was going on, and then said to the layman: "The Bodhisattva King of the Earth is not exempt from incense, but people are afraid of cause and effect to spread falsehoods.

The layman was ashamed, saying that these were all the rules of the monastery, and he also acted according to the rules.

When the monk heard this, he shook his head and said that the layman was a karmic obstacle and was gradually distancing himself from the Dharma, so he had nothing to do and read more of the Diamond Sutra.

The layman apologized to me and went back to the house with his head down.

To be honest, I don't blame him, after all, he might be criticized if he let me in without permission.

"Thank you, Master." I bowed to the monk.

The monk folded his hands and bowed, "The donor is at your own convenience, I still have some homework to complete." ”

With that, the monk drifted away and soon disappeared from my sight.

I didn't know where the Jizoden was, so I searched for it myself.

The atmosphere of the temple was originally solemn, but now there is no one, and it fills the emptiness.

I don't know how long I walked around, passing through the Guanyin Hall, the Dragon King Hall, the Dharma Protector Hall, and the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and finally came to the door of the Jizo Hall.

Walking into the main hall, I finally couldn't control my emotions anymore, and knelt on the futon with a thud, kowtowing and tears bursting out of my eyes.
