Chapter 1: Jade Butterfly
In a house in a mountain village in China, Chen Changqing was staring intently at the mobile phone screen in his hand, and his fingertips slid the screen from time to time.
It's just that I don't know what he's flipping through, and the more I look at it, the tighter my brows become.
"Alas! Why is it that all the people recruited by factories now are intermediaries, and none of them are directly recruited? ”
After a long time, Chen Changqing reluctantly put down his mobile phone and sighed heavily.
Today is June 25, 2017, and Chan Cheung-hing is a Primary 2 teacher.
Originally, according to the relevant national regulations and school recruitment requirements, primary school teachers must have a college degree.
As for why Chen Changqing only had a junior high school education and became a primary school teacher, it has to be said that it was an accident three years ago.
Chen Changqing was only 20 years old at the time, and normally he should be in college.
But the fact is that he has been rolling in society for four years.
After graduating from junior high school, he dropped out of school and went out with an acquaintance to work in a factory.
This has been going for four years, and in the past four years, Chen Changqing has not returned home once.
Because, at that time, he really didn't have the face to come back, and in his four-year part-time career, he spent a lot of money, not only did he not give a penny to his family, but also asked his family for a lot, which made him afraid to come back to face his parents.
However, when he was 20 years old, he was still working in a factory when he received a call from a neighbor at home.
However, the call was a nightmare, as the neighbor told him that his parents had both died in a car accident and that the owner had fled.
Smelling this bad news, Chen Changqing didn't care about going to work, he directly took a taxi, arrived at the station, found a black car casually, and returned home across the province.
However, he was still a step too late, and when he returned home, he saw only two jars of ashes.
This made him like a lightning strike for a while, staring blankly at the two jars of ashes on the altar.
In the end, it was the honest neighbor who helped him explain the aftermath of his parents.
For a period of time that followed, Chen Changqing was in a daze, he didn't even have much time to sleep, he was thinking about the scenes with his parents every day, and he was silently crying all day long, and at the same time, he regretted his behavior and blamed himself.
During this time, fortunately, a neighbor has been taking care of him, otherwise, there would be no Chen Changqing in the world.
It wasn't until two months later that Chen Changqing got out of the chaos and returned to normal under the persuasion of his neighbors.
However, although he returned to normal, after he paid back the money that the neighbor had paid for his parents' funeral, he became penniless again, and even eating was a problem.
Moreover, the factory had already fired him after he left without saying a word.
For the people who were fired, according to the uniform urine sex of the factory, there was no salary, so Chen Changqing worked for nothing for a month.
However, it just so happened that a primary school teacher from the only school in the village at that time was transferred out of this poor school by virtue of his connections.
The place where Chen Changqing is located belongs to a poor mountain village, not only poor, but also impassable, only a one-meter-sized dirt road can pass to the outside world.
The roads are full of potholes, and sharp pebbles are all over the road, and if you are not careful, you can get your shoes pierced and a wound on the soles of your feet.
In such a poor place, a school can be opened, and it is still a primary school built by people from the village who went to the town government to beg their grandfather to sue their grandmother and scraped together some money.
Although the town government approved the establishment of the primary school, the problem of teachers was still left to the village.
Fortunately, for students studying in school, the town education bureau still treats them all, and there are a lot of those who should be given and exempted, and students who graduate from the third grade here can also be directly promoted to the fourth grade in the town.
Later, under the heavy hemorrhage in the village, three "highly educated" teachers were recruited from the town.
How high is it?
All three of them have high school degrees, and you say it's not high.
But who made the village poor? There's no way, after all, a high school degree is enough to teach elementary school children, so it's going to be used!
Seven years have passed since the school was founded, and every six months, one or two teachers are replaced.
When the village saw this, in desperation, they only had to increase their wages every year, from 50 to 100 a year, from 1,000 when it was first established, to 1,500 now, hoping that in this way, those teachers could be retained, or better teachers could be attracted.
However, such a salary is not even as good as that of a factory outside.
Although working in a factory is boring and boring, it has a salary of two or three thousand a month, and a salary of one and a half thousand, which naturally does not attract people.
In the months leading up to the death of Chen Changqing's parents, the village school did not recruit a single teacher, and even if they asked for a drop in the grade, no one came.
In the end, the village chief convened the entire villagers to discuss and let Chen Changqing, who happened to be unemployed and still the highest education in the village, go to work as a teacher in the primary school.
Chen Changqing didn't want to go out to the factory to do those boring jobs, plus there were so many things happening at home, and when he saw that there was a job at home, he didn't refuse, and directly agreed to become a primary school teacher.
In this way, Chen Changqing became a glorious people's teacher, but without a teacher certificate, his position could never be promoted again, and he could only be an ordinary teacher in the village.
Chen Changqing has been a teacher for three years, although the salary is not high, but he can support himself, and every summer vacation, he will go out to work in the factory for two months and then come back to continue to be a teacher.
Because the salary is the reason for the village, once it is the summer and winter vacation, the teacher is not paid, so Chen Changqing has to go out to work in the factory in order not to starve to death during the two-month summer vacation.
In the past three years, the village has changed day by day, not only the electricity has been connected, but the network cable has also been pulled to the village, but the road is still the same as before, but the potholes and sharp pebbles have disappeared, replaced by a layer of hard soil.
Although large trucks are not yet passable, as long as the technology is passed, ordinary small trucks can safely pass through and reach the village.
Today, there are only 17 short days before the summer vacation, Chen Changqing looked for it on the Internet according to his previous habits, and when he saw a suitable one, he called to ventilate first, and then he just took the car directly to the factory.
However, now is the time when intermediary companies are rampant, and there is no room for factories to directly recruit people to survive.
Therefore, Chen Changqing searched through all the recruitment websites he knew, but he didn't find any of them directly recruited by the factory, which made him very helpless.
"It's ten o'clock, read a novel and then go to bed, I have to go to class tomorrow, there are still ten days to go on vacation, I am not in a hurry to find a factory for the time being, and when the time comes, I will call and ask my former workers to see if there is a good factory."
Chen Changqing picked up his phone again, looked at the time, and thought to himself.
After thinking about it, Chen Changqing got up and turned off the light, returned to the wooden bed and lay down, picked up his mobile phone, clicked on the starting point to read, found a system text that had been collected for a while, and looked at it intently.
Speaking of which, reading novels is one of Chen Changqing's hobbies, and when he is fine, he always picks up his mobile phone to read novels.
This hobby is used by Chen Changqing to kill time in his part-time job, and after several years of reading, it has become a habit for him, even if he is a teacher, he has not put down reading novels.
The night sky in the countryside is as dark as ink, and there is no light in sight, which makes people feel a sense of unwarranted fear, only the sound of a few dog barks from time to time, proving that there are still living things.
When the pointer pointed to eleven fifty, Chen Changqing felt that his eyelids were fighting, and a thick sleepiness struck, but he thought that there was still the last chapter to read, so he endured his sleepiness and fought against the Sandman.
By the time he finished reading the last chapter, he still lost to the Sandman, his eyes couldn't open a bit, he closed it heavily, his phone slipped to the side, and he fell asleep.
As Chen Changqing fell asleep, the screen of the mobile phone also went black, and the only light in the entire room disappeared, making the surroundings even darker.
Time ticks by, time does not stop for anyone, it always passes in a hurry, silently taking away the lives of countless living beings.
When the time came to midnight, the silence of the night suddenly changed.
"Click!"
In Chen Changqing's room, the space ten centimeters away from the ceiling broke through like shattered glass, cracking dense spiderweb-like cracks.
"Boom!"
The cracked space seemed to have been hit by something terrifying, and it completely shattered, forming a dark vortex.
The whirlpool is not large, only a dozen centimeters in diameter, and it is slowly accelerating and rotating above the room.
If an astronomer sees this vortex, he will recognize it as a miniature black hole.
A black hole is called a black hole because it is a celestial body with an extremely strong gravitational pull, and even light is not immune.
The black hole in Chen Changqing's room can only be called a miniature black hole, not a celestial body.
However, even if it is a very small black hole, the characteristics of the black hole have a terrifying attraction, and it is an irresistible existence for the creatures that encounter it.
At this time, after a second of acceleration, the black hole has begun to generate suction and is absorbing the air in the room, causing the wind to blow out of thin air in the room.
Seeing that the black hole was about to form a gluttonous monster, a white light suddenly appeared in the center of the black hole.
The white light seems to have an inexplicable force, mapping to the periphery of the black hole's vortex, causing the black hole's rotation to stop instantly.
As the black hole's rotation stopped, the suction disappeared.
"Buzz!"
As the black hole shuddered, the white light projected became brighter and brighter, as if something luminous was coming out of the black hole.
"Poof!"
With a slight sound came out.
I saw a white jade butterfly the size of a football with a white halo on its body surface falling out of the black hole.
Jade Butterfly fell out of the black hole, with a halo that illuminated the entire room, and flew straight towards Chen Changqing's head.
