Chapter 1: Reversing the Wheel of the World
A rapid alarm pulled Hong Ling back to reality from her sleep, and a new day began again, Hong Ling yawned and tidied up her clothes with sleepy eyes. Seeing that she was going to be late, Hongling was busy putting on her shoes and said to the kitchen, "Dad, I'm going to school!" ”
I saw my father poking his head out of the kitchen, his hair was messy and untidy, the corners of his mouth were stained with rice grains, he was holding a shovel in one hand and a pot lid in the other, and said, "Let's leave after eating, it will be fine immediately"
"Dad, what's this, what does this smell like? Isn't it mushy? Hongling asked while opening the door, and her father shrank his nose, "Oops, my dish."
Hongling couldn't help laughing and rushed to the school with a puff of smoke.
Today is the first day of school, and according to common sense, the class will definitely let the students introduce themselves, but unfortunately Hongling was late on the first day. Looking at the sign of the second class of senior students from a distance, Hongling hurriedly rushed in, "Report, uh, I'm sorry, I'm late"
The teacher smiled, "Come in and find a seat to sit down", Hong Ling smiled apologetically and sat down on the last seat left, and then the teacher said: "Then, let's introduce each other, starting from the first column", Hong Ling thought as expected.
"My name is Zhang Mingming, and I'm from..."
"My name is Chen Li, and I'm from..."
……
"Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Hongling, I hope to become friends with everyone", under the reflection of the sun, everything seems vibrant, the students gradually became familiar with it under the guidance of the teacher, and Hongling also started a new life, but whether it is good or bad, no one knows.
Liu Min is the first friend Hongling knows, in Hongling's eyes, Liu Min often has a certain mystery, she can't guess or understand, only occasionally can capture some kind of information in Liu Min's eyes, but it is fleeting.
"Hongling, do you believe that there are parallel universes in this world?" Liu Min asked in casual conversation, "emmm... I don't know, maybe there is, but it won't have anything to do with us", Hongling looked at Liu Min with a sideways face, Liu Min still looked straight ahead and smiled: "Yes, it has nothing to do with most people, but maybe you, if it's you, what will happen to you in another parallel universe?" ”
Hongling laughed and said: "Haha~ Of course, I want to open up a new world and be a generation of chivalrous!" ”。 Looking at Hongling's happy smile, Liu Min was also infected, maybe this is the reason why Hongling is different.
In the blink of an eye, the three-year high school life is about to come to an end, and Hongling is still a happy elf, shuttling through various activities. The scorching sun reflected the busy figures on campus, and the always lively Hong Ling also quieted down with the tense atmosphere. You know, the college entrance examination is not trivial for most people, Hong Ling pouted and complained to Liu Min: "What is the broken exam, who is rare... It's so abusive that it's mad...".
Liu Min grinned, looked up at the sky and said, "It's coming, it's coming..."
"Well, I'm going to get out anyway, otherwise, I'm really going to enter menopause early!"
In Hong Ling's memory, in the past three years, it seems that except for the upcoming exam, there is nothing that makes her unforgettable, of course, except for the friendship with Liu Min, although I don't know what secrets Liu Min has, but as a friend, Hong Ling has always trusted Liu Min very much, I don't know why, probably driven by fate.
Outside the window, the sky is still cool, occasionally wind and rain, and often show a rainbow-like smile, everything is still budding......
"What! You want a divorce?! Hongling would never have thought that her parents, who have always had a good relationship, would want to divorce, "Lingling, listen to me, my relationship with your father has long come to an end, and my mother doesn't want to hurt you so I hide it until now, mother, mother really feels sorry for you", the mother whimpered and lowered her head, and the father stood by the cabinet against the wall with his head expressionless, without the smile he once had.
"No~ I can't accept it! Why! Why is that!! Hongling cried, she didn't believe it, she didn't believe it, she didn't believe it at all.
"Ling'er, Dad will introduce a new aunt to you, and will give you a warmer home"
"What new aunt? Are you mistaken? Do you think I lack love in this home? Hongling shouted hysterically, and her mother's whimpering voice became even more pathetic.
"Ling'er, I know it's hard for you to accept, but, but Dad can't help it, only in this way..."
"What is the only way! What can you do? Why are you? Why tear my home apart!! Hongling cried and rushed into her room, crying and crying until her mother packed her luggage, crying until her father got herself drunk, crying until her tears dried up, crying until all she had left in the night was her own whimpering and her father's snoring.
At this time, Liu Min sent a text message: Silly girl, the night with stars is not a big deal, the stars may be able to pass on to you unfathomable secrets in a twinkle, remember, your fate is only yours.
After reading Liu Min's information, Hongling was even more confused, star? Who still has the heart to look at the stars, staring at the stars outside the window with a sideways face, looking at it and feeling sleepy...
Under the darkness of the night, the girl huddled in a corner of the room, and outside the room, the television sounded mixed with her father's snoring...... In the quiet night, the stars were shining outside the window, and the girl looked up with long hair and big moist eyes...... At the beginning of the dream, in the smoke and clouds, a woman's moaning came from the bottomless night sky, painful, desperate, helpless.
"Help me, ahh ”
The woman said, "Just leave your fate to me"
"Okay then" replied indifferently with a crackling thunderbolt that woke the girl up, touched the remaining tears in the corners of her eyes, and the girl smiled, beautiful and difficult to see......
Since then, Liu Min has never contacted Hongling, and Hongling has not contacted Liu Min again, everything has changed, a new aunt has lived in the family, her father has become less talkative, Hongling has become no longer well-behaved, disputes have become the norm of life, everything has been broken, and life is no longer quiet. Within a year, Hongling learned to be ruthless, learned to drink, and even learned to fight, and she no longer had any friends around her, no one cared what her name was, and she would not happily tell others that her name was Jiang Hongling. Occasionally, Hongling also dreams, which cycle of dreams, she doesn't know what it means, she only knows, she really wants to exchange her fate, because she just wants a complete home, that's all.
Unconsciously, Hongling seemed to have detached herself from her original life track, everything was running in the opposite direction, and life was so stormy.
On this day, Hongling just came back with blood-red hair, and the person she called her aunt chattered endlessly, Hongling endured it, just to leave her father with the last face, who knew that the woman was getting worse and worse, and the more and more she talked endlessly, Hongling just walked through the living room and sat on the sofa as if there was no such person, and the woman was angered by Hongling's series of silent actions and yelled: "I really don't know how much sin your father did in his last life, so that you are an unfilial stinky girl!" ”。
Hong Ling replied indifferently: "I'm also thinking about how many bad things my dad did in his last life, marrying you as a broom star and entering the door, we want to go together, and it can be regarded as 'smelling alike'", said and stroked his hair naturally, the red became more and more gorgeous. Seeing this, the so-called aunt was even more angry, although she didn't shout again, Hongling knew that the woman probably went to her father's place to report again, which was already commonplace. Simply let her go, just take care of herself and rummage around, the woman can't help her, who doesn't know that in the past few years, Hongling, this girl has been fighting and killing all day long, who dares to care about her, except for the father who still has a glimmer of hope for her, but even so, this woman called an aunt has to deprive her father of her last love, so don't blame me.
Hongling thought about it, and then found the passbook with all the savings of the family, and she left quietly with the passbook, without the slightest doubt, only the pleasure of the last revenge.
After graduating from high school, Hongling didn't continue to study in order to take revenge on her father, and now it's been three years, except for the gangsters who accompany her all day long to drink and fight, Hongling hasn't known anyone else, after going to the bank to transfer the money out, Hongling went to drink again, different from the previous liveliness, this time she was alone, and her bright red hair looked more and more dazzling under the reflection of the bar lights.
Hongling drank cup after cup, just kept drinking, drank until late at night, drank until the early hours of the morning, stumbled out of the bar, and vaguely saw an old man and a young man, the old man had been hunched over, supported by a young girl, and when she rubbed her shoulders, the girl was stunned, "Hongling? Hongling managed so much, she just wanted to find a place to sleep, she didn't pay attention to the girl's voice, and still stumbled forward.
"Grandpa, can you save Hongling, she has endured too much", the old man sighed and said: "Min girl, this is not for you and me to decide, you must know that fate is determined by heaven, cough cough...", "Grandpa....", "That's it, that's it, you help her back first and let her rest and rest", "Okay grandpa, I'll go".
After a while, he helped Hong Ling back to the house, and Hong Ling also fell asleep in a daze, but in a hazy way, she heard a girl sobbing incessantly saying sorry or something like that.
The next day, "Hongling, the sun is all on the buttocks, and I can't get up yet!" Hongling thought about who this was, and squinted: "Liu Min? How did you end up here? Hong Ling asked with some excitement, "What about it, if you didn't happen to meet me when you were drunk last night, you probably have to sleep on the road", Liu Min looked like he hated iron and steel, and really made Hong Ling laugh, this is probably the first time in three years that Hong Ling has laughed so happily.
After washing, as soon as she went out, she was pierced by the sun and couldn't open her eyes, Liu Min looked at her with a smile, but she returned to her former indifference, "Hongling, how are you doing now, it looks a lot more mature", Liu Min looked at Hongling's red hair and said uncomfortably, Hongling sighed and said: "Now that I think of the past, I don't know why I used to complain, probably because my heart is old, I can't pretend to be anything other than myself", Liu Min didn't say anything, just pointed to the sky in the distance to show Hongling, Hongling smiled, Until now, Liu Min still retains this mystery......
The two sat on the steps in front of the door, and Liu Min turned his head sideways and asked, "Hongling, if you could have a new life, what would it look like?" ”
"Min'er, do you know, your question reminds me of a dream I've had over and over again in the past three years, if it's really possible, I just need, as long as I have a complete home, the rest doesn't matter", Hongling's eyes turned red as she spoke, although Liu Min didn't know what Hongling had experienced over the years, but she knew that even two unrelated people could be bonded by some kind of exchange, such as her and her grandfather......
After being silent for a long time, Min'er suddenly smiled, with a certain color mixed with a certain emotion, Hongling also smiled, as if she had seen her future, "Min'er, if I can really start a new life, do you think I will still be so lonely?" Liu Min looked back at Hongling, thought for a long time, and said, "If you are given a life that is not lonely, can you be satisfied?" "I don't know Min'a, but I'm afraid of being lonely, I'm very scared, and sometimes I really don't know what to do, but if I can get out of this life, should I be satisfied?" I guess I'll be satisfied."
"Min girl, why don't you cook ...... it", at this time a hobbling old man walked out from another corner of the yard, seeing Hongling's eyes full of confusion, the old man said: "I am Min girl's grandfather, cough cough ......", Hongling looked at Liu Min, saw Liu Min's smile and looked at the old man again, "Hello grandpa, I'm Hongling", Liu Min naturally helped the old man sit down and said: "Then I'll cook, you sit for a while, and it will be fine immediately", and ran to the kitchen with a smoke.
"Girl Hongling, I heard Miss Min say that you have been here for a long time, cough cough, you are still used to staying here last night, right?"
"Well, it's been a long time since I've slept so comfortably," Hong Ling responded obediently, ignoring the glint in the old man's eyes.
In the middle of the night, the three of them sat at the table, eating their own food silently, and they were all thoughtful.
In the middle of the night, Hongling fell into a deep sleep, "girl, you can pack up and send her away", the old man took out the dusty bronze mirror for a long time, and he didn't feel a trace of gloom under the moonlight, Liu Min hesitated and looked at Hongling in the room.
"The matter has come to this, you must not be a woman's kindness, cough cough", the old man saw that Liu Min was not moved, and couldn't help but be anxious, so he eagerly raised the bronze mirror, and the moonlight gathered, condensing a huge beam of light, which was refracted on Hong Ling's body, but Hong Ling was sleeping soundly, completely unaware of what would happen next. Liu Min was in a trance, not knowing what to do, she wanted to stop it but couldn't move as if she was nailed to the spot, she only tried to think that everything would be fine, and everything would be fine when she came back, but she still unconsciously left tears.
Hong Ling's body gradually became unclear, and gradually, disappeared. After another while, Hongling's body became clear again, and in a flash, it seemed that nothing had changed, but everything had changed.
The next day, Hongling opened her eyes, originally wanting to find Liu Min and tell her that she had a strange dream last night, however, who was in this mirror? Hongling froze there, looking at herself in the mirror, dressed in an antique outfit, the most unacceptable thing for herself was, what about her face? Where did my face go? Whose face is this? "Ah...... Yes!!!! "Finally, fainting.
Is it fate or fate......
