In 2013, the year after the year of world destruction prophesied by the Mayans, a young programmer gently picked up a baby girl in the central hospital of Huaiyi City, Republic. That's his daughter. The programmer thinks it's nice to have such a child after the "end times". The next "reincarnation" will definitely be better.

His father-in-law, who is somewhat educated, gave the girl a name "Xinyu". The old man felt that the word "rain" was good, and it meant "moisturizing".

This post-80s man really felt that he could live a nourishing life like this at that time.

However, he gradually felt "history".

No, in fact, "history" began a long time ago, at least two years ago. It's just that he realized it later.

On June 9, 2008 local time in the United States, Apple CEO Steve Jobs released an epoch-making product, the iPhone 3G. And within two years, this wind was blowing into the land of the republic. Not only the iPhone series, but also the domestic 1,000-yuan 3G smart phones have also begun to take root.

And as early as February 27, 2008, mobile payment platforms were already sprouting on the land of the republic.

Online shopping, which was born earlier, and online social networking, which was also born earlier, began to expand with this "cheap personal smart device".

Even the bubble doesn't expand as fast as they do.

This is history.

The people's perception of socializing, shopping, and even life for thousands of years has been completely rewritten in the past few years.

That's history.

The programmer saw the gold.

In his circle, there was a big brother who later became famous, and once said that when standing on the tuyere, pigs can fly.

For the continent of the Republic, which was still blank at that time, it was a golden age everywhere. This "tide of history" appeared once at the time of his birth. There should be one later, but it's uncertain when it will appear.

Programmers really want to go out and put it together. He actually had the idea of going to sea when he was 12 years old. But by the time he made up his mind, his wife became pregnant. It was his first time as a father, and naturally all ambitions were gone.

It was only after the birth of her daughter that the thought came to me again. But every time he mentioned it, his wife cried and said, "Look at the child." Looking at his babbling daughter, programmers can't help but soften their hearts.

However, in 2014, he could no longer sit still. He knew that the good old days of gold were coming to an end.

So, the quarrel finally broke out between the husband and wife.

While paying attention to the news that a food delivery platform had obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in financing, the programmer got a divorce certificate and divided all the family's cash savings and other property as he wished, leaving only the house.

and custody.

The little girl named "Xinyu" lives with her mother and grandmother, and at the same time goes to spend time with her father on weekends.

In her memory, Dad was supposed to stay in a messy and cramped place. Dad doesn't know much about children, but he will show some children's programs for children. At this time, TV shows were not very good, but Dad was always able to find something interesting on the Internet for her to watch. Mom can't do it. Mom didn't seem to understand anything.

The little girl's favorite thing to do is to spend the weekend with her dad. In the small computer screen, glowing giants descend from the sky to defeat the vicious monsters, what a powerful thing!

But the little girl didn't tell her mother much about these things. Mom would be angry if she knew that Dad had "taken her to play with the computer for a day". When my mother was angry, she would hit her, and she would cry after the beating.

The little girl didn't like that, not at all. She felt that maybe it was like the one in those shows, that there was a terrible evil monster in her mother's heart, and one day this monster would mature and appear in the world.

But it's not mom's fault.

The little girl hopes that by that time, there will be a gentle giant of light to defeat the monster and help her mother.

But that day did not come.

When I was about 18 years old, the little girl and her mother moved. The little girl only remembered that one day, her father actually came to the "house", and then cried to her mother. I'm obviously an adult, and I'm not afraid of being shy. Then the mother took the little girl to bring some furniture and rented a cottage. The cottage was not far from my grandparents' house.

Then for a long time, the little girl never saw her father again.

I don't know if it's because of myself, my grandmother seems to be very angry and often scolds my mother. Mom also cried a lot. This frightened the little girl greatly. Is the big monster inside my mother coming out? Why does my grandmother look like my mother? Why doesn't my grandfather like me and my mother anymore?

After a long, long time, Zhu Xinyu learned that at that time, his father came to borrow money from his mother. My mother relented for a moment and sold the house.

During this time, the only contact between Zhu Xinyu and his father was some books left by his father. Although my mother couldn't understand it, she didn't want to throw it away.

Mom never noticed how smart the kid was. Dad didn't get a chance to notice. The little girl herself is not even more aware of this. Everyone thought that this little kid was just very smart and literate very early.

The first time the little girl practiced that knowledge was when she was 19 years old. As a result of this time, an old computer that my cousin had used at home for 8 years was overwhelmed and damaged. The girl's four-year-old cousin was completely unaware of what was happening, and all the adults thought it was just a natural breakdown of the electrical appliances.

Zhu Xinyu cried miserably. She knew she was doing something wrong. That computer won't boot and it's not hardware damage. She broke the operating system.

In the next few years, Zhu Xinyu broke her mother's old mobile phone, and then broke another one, but she quickly got it again. She started out using the nets of the small restaurant downstairs, but soon she learned to steal the nets of her neighbors.

Mom is still like that, as soon as she sees the little girl playing with these things, she hits her. Even later, I found out that she was reading her ex-husband's book and also hit. She felt that these books were the ones that drove her husband crazy and her daughter.

The girl was not convinced. She didn't feel like she was doing something bad.

This situation will continue until 2023. When a girl is in the third grade of elementary school.

Mom suddenly stopped beating her, just cried every day.

"It's me who was stupid." Here's what her mother told her: "Mom is so stupid, she doesn't have a rich life." You can't grow up like your mother, do you hear? ”

The girl nodded incomprehensibly.

Until one day, her mother told her that she would live with her father in the future.

Only then did the little girl know that her father had really made a lot of money.

So, in another winter, the little girl stepped into a high-end villa. The four-hundred-square-meter mansion is really too big compared to the room with only one bathroom.

Zhu Xinyu saw his father, who he hadn't seen for a long time. Then, she also saw a woman here, as well as a little boy of four years old, and a little girl of three years old.

The boy hugged Zhu Xinyu's leg and called his sister in a milky voice. Dad asked her to call the woman Auntie.

Zhu Xinyu doesn't understand anything. She didn't have to go to elementary school to read the newspaper. Mom's favorite books to read while crying, she also reads. She could understand what it was, but she didn't want to.

She pushed the little boy away and escaped from this "home".

She found her mother, but she slapped her instead. The girl didn't understand and began to cry. Mom also hugged her and cried.

"Silly boy......" she whispered, "your father can give you good conditions." ”

Mom came to the door again. She even spent a lot of money to buy gifts, went to the door, humbly apologized to the woman, and bowed to Zhu Xinyu's head.

- Why......

This is the first time Zhu Xinyu feels "completely incomprehensible". She has been a fast learner of everything since she was a child. But this scene, her brain completely, resolutely, absolutely refused to understand.

Is mom crazy? It's Dad who is obviously wrong, why does she have to apologize?

Dad too...... Why does such a shameless guy feel a little embarrassed?

And what is the expression of that woman?

What happened?

- Ah, it's a monster. A big monster that can't be defeated.

- Mom is crazy and stupid, and so is Dad.

The only person who made Zhu Xinyu feel normal was that little boy. The little boy cried and asked her, "Sister, did I do something wrong?" ”

- Why are there normal people? Instead, I wanted to hit him. Or is it acting as my mother reads? Is it pretended? Want to make me feel guilty?

From that day on, Zhu Xinyu lived at his father's house. She had a separate room, which was bigger than where she and her mom lived. A big bed, lots of clothes. There's even a computer. Zhu Xinyu also has his own mobile phone.

Although the "family" strictly limited her time online, the woman never cared much. From the day she pushed down the little boy, the woman did not have a good face for her. Probably just waiting for her to fend for herself.

The boy was like a fool. Zhu Xinyu occasionally can't help it, and plays games with him, this fool likes to make some "draw" situations, shouting something stupid "I also win, my sister also wins, and my sister also wins". She didn't bother to pay attention to the two silly kids.

The restrictions set by my father are also useless. The so-called "juvenile monitoring system" has no effect on her, and I am afraid that the father can only see that his daughter has the habit of watching the Internet for an hour every night. Zhu Xinyu soon learned to use the vulnerability of the operator's billing system to detect the request part to steal the operator's traffic.

No one knows what she's doing.

Her family doesn't know how long she's spent in the digital, virtual and online worlds.

She felt that there was nothing to be nostalgic for in this monster-infested place. Her spiritual home is on the Internet.

In the world of technology, what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong. To be able to run is to be able to run, and to crash is to collapse.

She's going to stay away from those monsters.
