Du She, young name 17, 21 years old, unemployed, Internet dependent.

This young man, who has completely severed ties with the school for four years, should have been high-spirited and actively enjoyed a free and wonderful life. However, he looks like a summer dog, doing nothing all day, not working hard, most of the time face to face with the computer, except for listening to songs and playing games, as if he is planning to live so absurdly in his life.

If the time was rewind to three years ago, at the gate of the technical school, Du Shu, who had just turned eighteen years old and was standing with more than 40 other classmates, would never have thought of his current appearance.

At that time, he looked young, his face was white, and his eyes were full of yearning and confusion about the big city he was about to go, but more of it was the long-awaited excitement and a certain determination to spread his wings and fly high.

After graduating from junior high school, Du Shot, who did not choose to go to high school, passively entered the pit of technical school.

On the mainstream college train, the grades can't bear to look at directly, and a large number of students at the bottom of the rankings, 99 percent have chosen to go to technical schools.

Because in addition to learning practical skills in technical schools, the school will also assign jobs after graduation, which is what all students and parents who choose to go to technical schools expect, and it is also the most favorable means for technical school enrollment.

However, the learning environment in technical schools is really "extraordinary", and very few people can actually learn anything.

From the beginning of maintaining the learning status of junior high school, to completely putting aside textbooks and teachers, and following the people around him to squander the tuition and living expenses given by his parents, it was only a month. Reading novels in class and playing mobile games after class, almost all three years have passed like this.

In the same batch of technical school enrollments, Du Jie was originally an exception, he was not a bad student, his original grades belonged to the upstream, and he didn't have to take more money to buy grades as long as he worked hard to go to high school.

However, at the age of fifteen, he made the first major choice of his life: he gave up the opportunity to go to high school.

The reason is very simple, nine years of compulsory education made him feel too tired and uncomfortable to study at that time, and then he didn't want to face a more stressful high school, so he wanted to get rid of it. However, Du Shot also understood that dropping out of school directly was not advisable for him to be a minor, and it happened that at that time, people from the technical school went to his school to enroll, and after listening to the conditions promised by the technical school, Du Shot immediately made that decision.

An ordinary peasant family, a child who is still unwilling to endure hardships, embarked on what he thinks is the right path in life.

At the age of eighteen after three years of technical school career, he and more than 40 classmates got on a bus at the gate of the technical school and went to the place where the work was assigned, Su City.

Two years later, Du Shot returned home, and since then he has stayed at home and lived like a maggot.

......

The name Du Shot was chosen by his father himself, and it was natural for his father to name his son, but every time he remembered the origin of his name, he often doubted life. Needless to say, the surname is naturally the same as his father Du Future, which is the word "shooting" of this "Du Shooting", at a certain relative gathering, according to one of his aunts, Du Shot's mother He Xianglian gave birth to him in the year, his father Du Future was obsessed with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", so he took the first word of the title of this TV series as his name.

When Du Jie heard this answer, he couldn't cry.

Because he was ridiculed by his classmates from time to time when he was in school, Du Shot had a lot of resentment in his heart, but people are very accustomed to their names, and Du Shot generally doesn't use his big name to show people, and slowly the people around him are used to calling him Du Seventeen, and more directly called Seventeen, which is with a child's pronunciation.

And July 17 is his birthday.

However, he never cared about his birthday, and even forgot the meaning of his parents' daily call of seventeen, the number name.

At the moment, all he could see was the image on the computer screen, the ranked battle of a gunplay game, and it was the last minute.

But suddenly, with a bang, Du slammed the mouse on the table, and his game character had turned into a corpse, followed by hysterical scolding and roaring.

Strangely, however, the room was quieter than ever.

Du Jie is a person who is different from the outside, although derogatory but it is appropriate to describe him as such, his inner world is very different from his appearance, as if his mouth is naturally growing in the heart, not on the outside.

He is a person who lives in his own world.

Since he was a child, he has been told by relatives and friends of his parents' generation that "this child is so shy", "this child is so honest", "unlike the naughty bastard in my family, you see that he has been quiet" and so on.

"What about me, what's the matter with you? What is the blind comparison one by one? "That's what Du always thinks in his heart.

Du She's personality was indeed very introverted when he was a child, but now he is twenty-one, but his temperament has not changed with the growth of age and knowledge, but has become more taciturn, so that many of his words are just said to himself in his heart, and his appearance is either indifferent, bland, or all kinds of casual.

In his memory, what made him face his daily life like this was caused by a difficult time at home when he was a child, and his family who was not calm during those difficult days.

And most of the reasons why parents are not calm are also because of those relatives and friends, Du Jie heard too much when he was a child that his mother blamed his father, saying how those people were, and when he saw that our family was honest and bullying, he treated us as inappropriate people and so on, blaming his father for letting it go, not like a pillar of a big man.

When Du Shot grew up, he already understood that those were just rural people's flies and dogs, he didn't care anymore, and he didn't want to become "scolding and scolding behind the laughter when he met", he regarded indulgence as chic, decadence as freedom, and evasion of responsibility as the pursuit of self-worth is his current life.

Life did not deceive him, it was like this, he was indifferent to the outside world, the real side only existed in his heart, and the appearance was always a disguise and a mask.

At this moment, the lights in the silent room were not turned on, only the light of the computer screen reflected Du Shu's indifferent face. He hated the player who killed him, and he hated his own incompetence, and the mouth in his heart kept cursing vicious words, even himself.

Gradually, an impulse sprung up in Du's heart, and the moment he saw the final score at the end of the game, the impulse rose to the maximum.

"Minus 50 points!"

The bright red defeat results represent the failure of this game, even if it takes seven or eight battles in the next year, it may not be able to make up for it, and the anger in his heart has nowhere to vent, causing him to lose his mind a little uncomfortably.

"Grass! Charge your money!! ”

With a muffled roar, Du Shot quickly returned to the main page, clicked the [Recharge] button, directly selected [1000 yuan] on the denomination, clicked [Confirm], and then took out his mobile phone and scanned it on the pop-up QR code.

"Ding! Congratulations, the recharge is successful, and the consumption order number is ........."

"Whew~~"

Du Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and all the negative emotions in his heart disappeared with the successful recharge, followed by irrepressible excitement.

While a thousand isn't a lot for this game, it's enough to buy two hero-level weapons that you could only see before, and there are still many event rewards to claim, which makes Du Shot's face heat up and his heart beat violently.

However, at this moment, Du Jie suddenly heard footsteps outside his room, as if they were coming towards his room. Without thinking about it, Du Shot immediately pressed [win+D], and then opened the web page without hurrying and browsed at will.

Sure enough, with the "squeak" of the door that had been used for decades, a series of footsteps became clearer, and they came to Du Shu's side.

Du Future, the father who was only 1.65 meters tall, stood still, silently looked at his son who was not squinting for a while, and sighed imperceptibly, but as if he was afraid that his son would feel uncomfortable when he heard it, he turned to cover it up with a gentle cough.

The arrival of his father made Du Shot's heart start to be irritable, but he didn't show it on his face at all, and out of respect for his father, he took off the earphones and glanced at his father lightly, as if it meant: I know you're here, just say what you want to say, and leave after speaking!

Du Future couldn't understand what his son meant, in fact, since his son took the initiative to choose to go to a technical school, Du Future could no longer understand him deeply.

The father and son were so concerned about their son, the other was absent-mindedly looking at the computer, the quiet atmosphere lasted for more than two minutes, Du Jie was stable and calm on the surface, but his heart was already anxious.

Just when Du Jie was about to take the initiative to ask his father's purpose, Du Weifu grabbed his arm and said, "Look at you, how thin you have become, your thighs are not as thick as my calves, your calves are not as thick as my arms, and your hands are like chicken feet." And this 'chicken breast', it's all rib bones, why don't you eat more? ”

Du Shot's hands left the keyboard and mouse, what he didn't pay attention to was that due to the long time of playing gunfight games, once his left hand touched the keyboard, the index finger, middle finger and ring finger would be used to the three keys of [W, A, D], one thumb and little finger in the space bar, and the other in [Shift], people who have played the game can see it at a glance, but Du Shot is sure that his father can't see it.

He glanced at his arm lightly, he was indeed as thin as a firewood stick, but he didn't care, he had long lost hope in this waste skin, he either ate two meals a day, or only one dinner, sleep day and night upside down, sometimes after playing the game excitement or anger nowhere to vent, he would indulge in H-color video, until he emptied his body, and used a cigarette to anesthetize it.

Few of these Du Shot's parents know that he is very hidden, but he is skinny, and his listless and muddy appearance every day cannot be hidden.

No parent wants their child to live like the walking dead, but they can't stand the fact that their child grows up and can no longer discipline him as he did when he was a child.

Du Future let go of Du Jie's arm, raised his hand and whistled his hair again: "Look at it, the hair covers your eyes, you can still see it?" The oil coaxes and does not know how to wash it. ”

Listening to his father open the chatterbox, Du Jie glanced at the game icon at the bottom of the screen, and the impatience in his heart had faded a lot because of "last resort".

Du Cheng finished counting the life of Du Shot, and then talked about Du Shot's work. Now Du Jie is just looking for some odd jobs on the Internet, and he doesn't earn more than 1,000 yuan a month, and most of them are used by him to buy cigarettes, buy drinks and charge into games, and the 1,000 yuan just now is almost all the funds in his card, which he has accumulated after more than two months of working in front of the computer.

Du inherited the thoughts of the poor in the future, and he had no great ambitions in his life, and he still recognized farming in the early years, when Du Shot was not born, in addition to his daughter-in-law He Xianglian, he also raised a daughter, that is, Du Shot's sister.

It's just that Du Jie has been very unfamiliar with her sister since she was a child, and the family only knows that she has been running around in the big city and rarely goes home.

Since the birth of the boy Du She, Du Fu has taught himself electric welding in order to train him well, and has been working for others for more than ten years now, only three or four thousand yuan a month, getting up early and returning late every day, which is diametrically opposed to Du She.

At the beginning, Du Shot chose to go to a technical school, although Du Future had a lot of complaints, but in the end he still supported his son, thinking that it would be good to learn a technology, just like him, he could eat for a lifetime. Although the results were unsatisfactory, Du Future never blamed his son's choice.

In fact, Du Future's thinking has changed over the years, he always wanted to raise the child before, and when the child has a future, he will enjoy the blessings, but over the years, Du Future has gradually fallen into self-blame, he has worked for half his life like a cow, but in the end he didn't even save enough money for the child to marry a daughter-in-law, he hated himself for being useless.

Especially when I think of the girl who is still wandering outside, this feeling is even stronger.

Sighing, Du Future said as if admitting his fate: "We still have to go to work, and we won't be able to live at home for the rest of our lives." ”

Du Jie was still silent, his brows furrowed slightly, and he remembered his two years of life in Su City, and the fist on the table unconsciously clenched slightly.

Du Future was a little worried when he talked about this, because even if he didn't have a part-time job now, it didn't matter to him, and the relatives of the seven aunts and eight aunts were not very good.

Therefore, Du Future mentioned to Du Shot again: "Otherwise, you should go back to the factory in your Suzhou City, no matter what, you are at least familiar with it." ”

"Nope." Du Shu, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, but only said one word.

After succinctly expressing that he would never go back there again, Du Shu didn't hear his father's next words, and all the memories about Su City in his mind surged like a tide, and the look in his eyes gradually became indifferent.

Straightening up, Du Shot then picked up the headphones and put them on his head, searched for Izumo Music, and clicked on his playlist.

In the beautiful music, his father's voice disappeared at some point, and Du She, who had been distracted for a long time, turned his head to look, just in time to see the gap in the door gently closed.

At that moment, Du Shot's fallen heart suddenly had an urge to climb up, but this impulse was quickly covered by the game image that flashed into his mind, and he turned his head stiffly, like a dead man without a soul, clicked on the game icon. Just as he was about to operate, the mobile phone suddenly rang and vibrate, which shocked him all of a sudden.

"***Number*** [Carpenter Ant Zero Flower] report, your Carpenter Ant Zero Flower May bill automatic repayment failed, 9940 yuan has not been repaid, please log in to "Hua Qian Bao - Carpenter Ant Zero Flower" to check and repay, if it has been repaid, please ignore this information. ”

The information that entered the eyes made Du Shot's heart sink to the bottom instantly, playing games every day made him almost forget about it, looking at this content at this moment, Du Shot's breathing began to be short, and the panic and anger in his heart exploded together!

"Horse-stepping!"

With a muffled roar, Du Jie raised his head, his eyes already becoming hideous, and squeezed a name out from between his almost gritted teeth; "Hou Chenwei!!"

This arrears were caused by Du Shot's deception.

He remembered the scene of that day, the smiling face of that person, and he transferred money to him in a daze, and then the two separated......

"Ahh Yes!! Ah......h

The roar that covered his mouth lasted for a long time.

————————

After that, Du Shot, who had finished venting, was stunned until he was awakened by the vibration of his mobile phone again.

He picked up his mobile phone and found that it was just a ball message, and there was only one game group in the message column, and there was a new message in the group, which was a few photos and a push link, which looked like an auction, and an antique worth millions fell into the hands of so-and-so, and the photo looked at the antique as a palm-sized bronze, like a small house, very delicate and old.

Generally, it is rare to see news about auctions on the Internet.,It's a place where rich people play.,And the group members who sent this message are also rich and noble.,The game is a [Golden V8] player.,Hero-level full set、Four legend-level is also a piece that doesn't fall.,Adventure mode is in the top ten of the server's combat effectiveness.,It's absolutely impossible to recharge less than one million RMB for these things.,So it's not surprising that people can play in the auction at all.。

Du Jie casually browsed and retreated, and no other thoughts could rise, and he still owed debts.

Thinking of this, Du Shot's fingers hanging on the return button suddenly stopped, he pondered for a moment, and then searched for it in the contact, and soon saw a familiar avatar.

"It's still online."

Du Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and then was a little apprehensive, but finally sent a sand sculpture greeting to the other party: "Are you there?" ”

Moving bricks: "it!" Seventeen has cheated the corpse, and I haven't heard from you for a long time. ”

Du Shot smiled bitterly: "There is a reason for the corpse. ”

Moving bricks: "Was the coffin lid lifted, or was the grave moved?" ”

Du Shu hesitated for a moment, and said directly: "Wu Yang, do you have 10,000 yuan on hand, I want to borrow it." ”

The phone was silent for a long time, Du Jie looked at it almost motionlessly, and his mind was very complicated now.

Dididi~~

Moving bricks (Wu Yang): "What are you doing here?" ”

Du Zhu's eyelids moved, and then he sighed softly, which seemed to be a prelude to refusal.

Wu Yang is one of the few friends of Du Shot, but if Du Shot wants to borrow money, Wu Yang is definitely the only one Du Shot can borrow and wants to borrow.

Du Zhu hates borrowing money, and he also hates others borrowing his own money, but he is a person who will not refuse others, so he will be deceived; At the same time, he is an introvert who is not very good at talking, so he has fewer connections and ways to ask for help.

He knew what it was like for others to borrow money from him all the time, so he felt that he could feel Wu Yang's tangled mood, this was not the first time he had borrowed money from him, Du Jie felt that he was consuming friendship, and this friendship was about to be overdrawn.

But he had no choice, he couldn't tell his parents, and there was no other way, he only had Wu Yang to ask for.

Just as Du Shot was about to send a message with a requesting tone, Wu Yang came back first:

"Lao Tie, you said last year that you came to the capital to find me, you've been thinking about it for a year, have you thought about it?"

Du Jie felt his eyelids sour, and quickly replied, "I can't go." ”

Wu Yang: "I'm bored by myself!" I said you don't stay at home alone, come to me, let's go out! ”

I feel that I haven't found someone to talk to Du Shot for a long time, and when I talk to Wu Yang about these few words, I feel that something is shaking in my eyes, it turns out that he has been lonely for so long, it turns out that he is not a person who can be lonely forever!

But Du Shu replied again: "I really can't go, otherwise I can borrow money from you?" ”

Wu Yang's tone seemed to be very free and easy: "You can get a ticket for more than two hundred in the capital, I have a place to sleep, and I don't have to worry about eating and drinking for the time being, come on, come and accompany me." At the end, he sent a wicked smile.

Du Shot didn't laugh, but thought about it carefully, he was holding back at home, and he couldn't earn back 10,000 yuan a year, should he go out for a walk?

At this time, Wu Yang sent a message: "Lao Tie, I can't dispose of 10,000 yuan at will, and the family is tight." But if you come here, there's a reason why we want to go out! Come to me, discuss with me if you have any difficulties, 10,000 yuan is not too big, it's a big deal to move bricks in two months and earn it back! ”

Looking at the message sent by Wu Yang, Du Shot finally made up his mind.

"Okay, you wait for me!"
