Chapter 1: No Way Out

Next Chapter

"Crunch!"

The dilapidated No. 11 country bus with a trail of dust came to a sudden stop with a sudden brake in front of the rusty "Qingniwa Town" stop sign.

As soon as Qian Duo, who was wearing a white shirt and jeans, jumped out of the bus, the bus roared, and a puff of black smoke spewed out from behind his buttocks.

"Phew!" Escaping from the dust and black smoke in embarrassment, Qian Duo spit out the dust in his mouth: "I drive a total of three times a day, what's the hurry?" ”

All that responded to him was a distant roar and a long yellow dragon of dust.

The sun was still scorching at noon in August, and it only took a moment to sweat all over your body. Qian Duo patted the dust on his body, thinking that he would have to walk a kilometer against the sun to return to his home on the other side of the town, and muttered in a low voice: "What the hell is this day! ”

This past year, it has indeed been a hell of a sight.

After graduating last year, bad luck befell him. Within a year, he changed jobs more than a dozen. Every company he worked for was inexplicably unlucky, and some were even ordered to suspend business for rectification and go bankrupt. Qian Duo swore that he had absolutely nothing to do with those events. But somehow, gradually he became a "celebrity", so that many companies in the city knew his name, and they all pulled him into the blacklist of the personnel department.

This time, he was introduced to a small courier company through a classmate. However, before I could do it for half a day, the electric car that delivered the express delivery was actually stolen!

For the sake of his classmates, the boss politely told him on the phone that he didn't have to go to work today and would never have to go again. If he goes again, treat him to a casseroleβ€”that big fist.

Qian Duo was very depressed: "It's all delivered to the last courier...... The thief is too, what is not good to steal, but he wants to smuggle the broken electric car of the courier!"

I really can't figure it out! What is there to steal from the most broken ancestor-level electric tricycle in the company, except that the horn does not sound and the whole body rings? Could it be that the crooked "express" on the body of the car is particularly eye-catching, and walking on the road can increase the return rate?

Walking dejectedly for a while, Qian Duo saw the two-story building that his family had built at the end of the last century. A white SUV was parked in front of the door, and the stray dog "Ribs" he picked up was squatting at the door, watching it fiercely.

may be afraid of the heat, the people in the car did not get out of the car, but only honked the horn to say hello when Qian Duo walked up.

Without looking at the Toyota Cruiser, Qian Duo took out the key to himself, opened the door, entered the door, and closed the door. But one foot forced his way through the crack in the door, and the door did not close.

"There is a lot of money, and you don't say hello when you see me, it's too rude!" A broken gong sounded behind him.

After a stalemate, Qian Duo let go of his hand with a cold face, went into the house and poured himself a cup of cold boiled water, and poured it down in one go.

The door was pushed open heavily, and a pair of middle-aged men and women walked in with a big grin, and said with a broken voice: "Qian Duo, why didn't you go to work today?" ”

Qian Duo turned his head expressionlessly and ignored him.

These two were his uncle and aunt, but Qian Duo had never called them that for as long as he could remember.

Uncle Xie Kai was a furniture maker, and when he first started, he was short of money and people, and he almost couldn't do it. Later, he said that he had moved his parents who had just gotten married, and encouraged them to borrow a large sum of money to work in partnership with him. Xie Kai is responsible for sales, and Qian Duo's parents are responsible for production, and the profits are divided in half.

After five years of partnership, the factory closed down "in debt". Xie Kai's new furniture factory opened half a month later, which is even larger than the previous one. Qian Duo's parents had nothing after paying off their debts, and they both died not long after.

The parents only left this house for Qian Duo, and grandma pulled Qian Duo here alone, and his uncle's family never came for more than ten years. But last year, the day after his grandmother's death, his uncle Xie Kai suddenly took out a bunch of so-called evidence that looked fake, claiming that the house was his, and asked Qian Duo to move out immediately.

Qian Duo couldn't understand that Xie Kai was already a big boss with a net worth of tens of millions, how could he still fall in love with this old house located at the end of the town on the edge of the suburbs? Even such despicable means were used.

Young and vigorous, facing his aggressive uncle, he rushed into the kitchen and carried a kitchen knife to kill him: "This house was left to me by my parents, no one wants to take it away!" ”

In the end, under the condemnation of neighbors, Xie Kai returned in vain. It's just that from then on, I came every once in a while, and tried to "take back my house" by various means.

……

"Go to work? What will he do? An unbridled soprano interrupted Qian Duo's memories, and he didn't have to look to know that his fat aunt was looking around the room with speed and agility that didn't match her figure at all. While flipping, she also shouted loudly at the top of her voice: "Every time he is expelled within a few days, he doesn't feel ashamed, I'm ashamed of him!" What do you think the old woman is spending money on for him to go to school? ”

Uncle Xie Kai smiled: "It's really not good, just come to work in my factory!" In charge of food and housing, three thousand a month, two hundred higher than ordinary workers. ”

Qian Duo shook his head: "No. ”

"You have too much money to spend? Why raise a waste that doesn't know anything? Aunt Fat's face changed and she scolded Xie Kai loudly.

Xie Kai ignored her and continued to smile and persuade Qian Duo: "You haven't worked for a year, and the money has already been spent, right?" If you want to go to work, you can come at any time. We are relatives, and I will definitely help you if you need to help. ”

Seeing that Qian Duo did not object, Xie Kai perked up: "Otherwise, if you don't want to go to work, I will give you 30,000 yuan, and you can use it to do business." Even if I bought this house, you won't lose ...... anyway."

"Not for sale." Qian Duo spit out the two words of hard bangbang.

"If you think about it again, the living can't let their urine suffocate to death, you can't eat anymore, do you want to starve to death in this broken house?" ……

"For the sake of my relatives, I pity you ......" ......

"This house is still mine, I have evidence ...... it......

No matter what he said, Qian Duo always gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Xie Kai was still trying to persuade Qian Duo at first, but seeing that Qian Duo's face was getting more and more ugly, he scolded in a hurry: "You still don't do it if I post the money?" Don't be too greedy! Say, how much do you want? Fifty thousand? Eighty thousand? ”

"Get out! I know you're not at ease! Qian Duo couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly pulled out a stick from behind him, "This is the house that my parents left me, don't dream!" ”

Xie Kai and his fat aunt were driven out of the door, and after escaping back to the car, they scolded: "Give shameless little bastard!" There's a kind of don't regret it! ”

Qian Duo was furious, chased after him with a stick, and a puff of black smoke erupted from the back of the butt of the off-road vehicle, and he ran away with a smoke. He angrily threw the stick out but smashed it into the air, and was so angry that he cursed.

"Ribs" shouted and chased out all the way, until he couldn't see the shadow of the car, then he came back happily, picked up a stick and ran to Qian Duo and wagked his tail to ask for credit.

Qian Duo squatted down with red eyes, touched the head of the "ribs", took the stick from its mouth, and stuck it on the ground fiercely.

This is his life.

Similar scenarios have happened countless times over the years. Each time, he could only solve it this way. Just like this young puppy, with full of anger, not sharp claws and teeth, innocently guarding his home.

"This house was left to me by my parents, and no one can take it away!" After being stunned for a while, Qian Duo gritted his teeth and roared.

Then, he strode into the house, slammed the door shut, went to the bedroom, opened the wardrobe, pulled out a locked wooden box from under his old clothes, took out the key and opened it carefully.

The first thing that catches my eye is a family photo, and the only photo left by my father, mother and grandmother. They smiled kindly at him in the frame, as if they had never left.

It would be nice if you were all still here...... Qian Duo stroked the photo frame, tears gradually blurring his eyes.

He slowly rummaged through the wooden box, and everything passed by his hand: the wooden comb and mirror that his grandmother used to use, the slingshot, glass beads, and the little figure ...... carved from wood that Qian Duo played with when he was a child. Finally, in the deepest part of the wooden box, he felt a boxy object and carefully held it out.

It was a small wooden box, and the carved patterns on the surface were a little blurred, and it looked very old. It seems that some people are afraid that the lid of the box is not tight, and they carefully wrap it several times with red threads.

"Duoduo, grandma hopes that you will always be safe, and I hope you will never open this wooden box...... Unless one day, you really don't have a way out, and you really don't have anyone worth caring about, you must not open it...... As soon as you open it, don't regret it, go all the way......"

The red thread was untied in circles and dropped on the table. Grandma's deathbed appearance and words resurfaced in Qian Duo's mind again.

"Grandma, you know what? Every day I hesitate to open this box......"

"I don't know what's in it, but I know that I really don't have a way out right now!"

"I only hope to change my destiny!"

Qian Duo's hands paused, and he suddenly opened the wooden box.

A dazzling white light rose from the wooden box, enveloping him completely.
