Chapter 1 The Morning Song of Dick Silk
At a glance, it seems that all the colors in the world are presented in front of Wang Cheng, red, blue, white, yellow, magnificent and colorful...... It's just a little unnatural and weird.
In the purple sea, the blue butterflyfish of the lake swim freely, and the orange sharks and blue-black dolphins swim leisurely by. Wang Cheng floated in the water in astonishment, watching the fish float comfortably and leisurely, and that comfortable attitude made him can't help but envy and hate.
Suddenly, a force pulled Wang Cheng to the surface. Before he surfaced, Wang Cheng immediately felt that the world was normal - the sky was normal blue, and the earth was ...... There was no ground, and under his feet was the blue sea.
The yacht in front of him was galloping rapidly, Wang Cheng held the tow rope tightly in his hand, the skateboard under his feet split the water surface into two waves, he was doing all kinds of fancy paddling on the water, only listening to the wind whistling through his ears, the beauty of the yacht was dressed in a bikini, the proportions of the three measurements were prominent, the face was as flawless as white jade, and the facial features were ...... In the wind, fog and sea, the beauty's facial features are actually very similar to the big star Zhao Xuan'er. And this star, who usually Wang Cheng looks up to, is now turning back and smiling at him, and the giggles drown out the roar of the engine.
In the laughter, Wang Cheng couldn't help but make a trick move, and shouted happily in the sky: "It's exploded!" β
As soon as this shout came out, Wang Cheng felt extremely happy, he felt that he was flying, flying in the blue sky and white clouds...... Then he found himself lying on his bed, the sound of pouring rain in his ears.
Wang Cheng, who was gradually sober, closed his eyes again, with a beautiful mood in his heart, reached out to the bedside to fumble with his cheap mobile phone, and then closed his eyes and turned on the music play button, and the Grieg "Morning Song" stored in the mobile phone flowed out.
When the horn sounded in the morning song and the assembled horses' hooves gathered, Wang Cheng quickly got up, groped for a toothbrush, stumbled to the faucet in the house with his eyes closed, took the small pot and poured a pot of water in a daze, continued to put the small pot on the induction cooker with his eyes closed, plugged in the induction cooker, and then stood in front of the faucet with his eyes closed, waving the toothbrush quickly and frequently.
The music continues to sound, a ray of quiet sunshine penetrates the heart, the morning sun, the morning light, the mist, and the river match the soft melody, beating on the strings and flowing between the winds, showing the graceful dawn, and the beautiful day of nature descending on the world...... Then the light began to change, and the light dull black turned to iron gray, and then the light came into the room with a burst of color, jubilant light......
Of course, it's all a musical illusion - because this room has no windows.
For a room with a window, the rent will be added to the rent for an extra hundred. So, for Wang Cheng, who had just graduated and only found an ordinary job, sunlight was a luxury, so he only rented this one-bedroom dwelling, or "capsule apartment", which was about 12 square meters and did not even have windows.
This is a real dwelling. But now in the city, such a dwelling costs a quarter of Wang Cheng's salary. In addition to renting a house, the remaining money every month is used for food, transportation, telephone bills, internet bills, utility bills, and making friends...... One hundred yuan was enough to support him, a recent college graduate, for several days. Take it to buy sunshine, you can't afford to hurt it, you can't afford to hurt it.
In this small room, there is a bed that is not a single bed or a double bed; At the foot of the bed is a toilet, and next to the toilet is a faucet and a sink. On the side of the bed, two steps away from the bed, there is a small computer desk, on which there is a laptop, an induction cooker, and a few boxes of clothes in the corner, this is all Wang Cheng's belongings.
Wang Cheng's rental house is a bit far away from the company, because his company is set up in the bustling city center, where there is a large flow of people, business is booming, and the rent is also nearby
Extraordinarily expensive. Only in places far away from the business district can the rent be cheaper. Of course, although I saved rent, I inevitably had to get up at dawn every day and quickly finish brushing my teeth, washing my face, dressing up, and eating breakfast in a drowsy mood......
and other matters, and then rushed out of the house in the hazy sky, squeezed the bus and subway, and then shook on the subway for more than an hour, and went to work to check in...... Every morning is like a war.
After Wang Cheng finished washing, the water on the induction cooker had been boiled, Wang Cheng walked to the computer desk, opened a package of instant noodles and put it in the pot, paused, touched the nearby water pipe with one hand, and then pulled the bolt of the induction cooker with the other hand - for some reason, he has more static electricity on his body, and because of this from childhood to adulthood, many electrical appliances in the home have been broken down by static electricity, so he gradually developed this habit: whenever he uses electrical appliances, he must first cast the static electricity on his body.
The freshly boiled instant noodles were a little hot, while waiting for the noodles to cool down, Wang Cheng had not been idle, he walked to the toilet, sprinkled deodorant, picked up the brush and brushed it carefully - Wang Cheng is a very detail-oriented person, he knows that this house has no windows, if you don't clean up the toilet every day, there will be a smell in the house, when you go out, you will also have this smell on your body, and picky customers will often be disgusted when they smell this smell, and maybe they will lose an opportunity unintentionally......
After tidying up the room, the hot soup cooled slightly, Wang Chengxili snorted and ate the instant noodles to the bottom, quickly brushed the rice pot and rice bowl, packed up the induction cooker, took a look at his image in front of the mirror, and then turned around and inspected the tidy room, then picked up the computer bag and stepped out of the door with satisfaction - this is Wang Cheng's "Morning Song" every day, every day, every year.
It may be an exaggeration to say "every year", because Wang Cheng is just a young man who has just graduated, and this year is his first year of work, and now it is his sixth month of work. But for six months, it was basically every day, including holidays.
It was difficult to find a job these days, Wang Cheng studied accounting, and his job was in a small company in a computer mall...... Boy. The so-called miscellaneous is basically to provide door-to-door delivery services to help customers install computers, repair and replace computer hardware, and so on.
After going out and taking a bus, Wang Cheng arrived at the subway station. When he passed through the ticket gate, he suddenly had a mischievous mentality, and he used exaggerated movements to attract people
After the card reader sounded "drip", he raised his hands high and made an obvious action of loading the monthly pass, without pausing at his feet, but when he went out of the gate, his butt hit the card reader screen unnoticedly. Suddenly, the static electricity on his body was transmitted to the card reader with the help of this impact, and the card reader let out another scream, and the electronic display screen flickered and beat rapidly.
Waiting for the ticket inspector on the side to come over to check the card reader, Wang Cheng had already flashed into the crowd of people in the subway station.
Facing the suspicious gaze of the ticket inspector, the passenger who swiped the ticket behind Wang Cheng raised his hands aggrievedly and pleaded to the ticket inspector: "I didn't do anything......"
No one noticed that behind the "aggrieved passenger" was a mixed-race Chinese.
In the endless flow of office workers, everyone is sleepy, only this mixed-race child is full of energy, with a kind of curiosity that has just entered the noble realm, looking all the way to observe the crowd. This person's eyes were very sharp, and although he was separated from Wang Cheng by one person, he still noticed Wang Cheng's hidden movements just now.
When the "wronged passenger" pleaded, he glanced at the garbled code on the card reader, raised his eyes to stare at the back of Wang Cheng, who hurriedly fled into the crowd, and echoed in strange Chinese: "Yes, he didn't do anything...... In the morning, everyone is in a hurry, if there is nothing wrong, can I continue to swipe the ticket? β
The ticket inspector looked at the aggrieved passenger suspiciously, then looked at the card reader, and muttered: "What's wrong again, it's strange every day...... Forget it, just get over it. β
The sluggish flow of people at the gate continued to move, and the Asian mixed-race man entered the subway, began to twitch his nose frequently, his eyes kept rolling, as if he was looking for something like a hound, and later, he followed the flow of people and walked to the vicinity of Wang Cheng, looking around for the subway to enter the station.
After getting on the subway, Wang Cheng was accustomed to finding a place with few people, leaning his back against the carriage, and began to make up for sleep in a drowsy mood, and several men and women with headphones around him also squinted and dozed off on the carriage like himβthe whole subway was in such an atmosphere, and everyone was swaying their bodies sleepily.
The sound of the wheels clanged and the whistling wind masked some of the whispers, but in the midst of this noise, Wang Cheng intermittently heard the lyrics of the fragment drifting into his ears - this is the song of "Noon Sun".
ββ¦β¦
I've been working hard since I was a child,
What can be learned is useless.
I studied arithmetic for ten years.
He ended up asking me to feed the pigs.
β¦β¦
I don't want to pretend to be confused,
Want to find a place to vomit,
I was full of mouths, but I got you in the legs,
I started rocking......"
This singing voice made Wang Cheng smile in his sleepiness, but he didn't even have the mind to open his eyes and distinguish whether there was a man or a woman around him, so he just leaned on the side of the carriage and continued to nap in a daze.
In addition to the staccato singing, there was also a faint cacophony of voices wafting into the ears. I heard a female voice whispering, "You were so fierce last night...... - and there was a faint, silvery laugh on the phone in response to this voice;
Later, a stern male voice asked: "Where did you put the file you sorted out yesterday, I will be in ...... now, you will arrive immediately with the file, and we will meet at eight o'clock......
A female voice complained: "I'm going to die, that customer lost his temper again yesterday......"
The staccato sound drifted into his ears, and suddenly, it became louder, from faint to loud, until it rang in his ears like a bell, he closed his eyes, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he tried his best to control his thoughts, let
He didn't listen to the noise for a long time, as if his efforts had paid off, and the noise in his ears grew fainter until it disappeared...... Only then did he open his eyes, quietly wipe his sweat, and press his chest to steady his heartbeat.
For many years, there have always been such and such sounds, which suddenly come and go and whisper in Wang Cheng's ears. This symptom appeared when Wang Cheng was very young, but when he was a child, Wang Cheng needed to accept the reality that his father had been ill for many years, and his mother had been taking care of his father who was suffering from cancer for many years.
Anyway, this kind of small symptom does not affect life and work, and after Wang grew up, he didn't want his mother to worry about him anymore, so every time he encountered a similar situation, he adopted this ostrich policy and did not deliberately pay attention to the sound in his ears...... Gradually, he became accustomed to the occasional auditory hallucinations.
When he was in kindergarten, Wang Cheng found that his hearing was exceptionally good, and he could hear movements that others could not hear, and he was still faintly proud of this, but after going to school, Wang Cheng felt that the sound poured into his ears was not all
It's real, and sometimes, the voice he hears doesn't exist, maybe it's just his own unilateral imagination...... After going to college, his father died of illness, and in the process of taking care of his father's funeral, Wang Cheng vaguely felt that he appeared in his mind from time to time
Auditory hallucinations, which may also be cancerous, are likely to be caused by a problem with the brain, or at least the auditory system......
This thought frightened him, but because he couldn't bear to be dragged down by his mother's illness again, he resisted the urge to tell his mother, and in order not to let his mother notice anything in his usual relationship, he stayed in this cosmopolitan city under the pretext of looking for development opportunities after graduation, and found his current job.
"Don't be afraid, fear only comes from fear itself", Wang Cheng wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, stabilized his heartbeat, quietly swept the passengers in the carriage, and remembered what his mother often said: "Life is like a ball of plasticine, what you desire, then shape it into what you imagined, so you reap hope - I am not a patient, I am healthy, I am happy!" β
kept cheering himself up, but Wang Cheng clearly knew that recently, his auditory hallucinations had become more and more frequent, accompanied by dizziness and tinnitus. Because I have the fear of my father's lingering illness in my heart
Afraid, Wang Cheng didn't even dare to go to the hospital to verify his guesses, and every time he contacted his mother on the phone, he also reported good news and not bad news, but occasionally thought of the future alone in the dead of night, and couldn't help but guess sadly: Perhaps, he was quiet
Quietly disappearing into the city is also a kind of ...... for the mother At least she doesn't have to worry about her son like she worries about her father.
After gradually calming down, Wang Cheng arrived at his destination. Following the flow of people, Wang Cheng walked out of the subway station, and at the exit of the subway, the Chinese-mixed race passed by him, and the two collided gently, and the mixed-race child was muddy
With a shock, he stopped a little and watched Wang Cheng get on the bus, and then the Asian mixed-race man walked to the bus stop and took out his mobile phone to make a call while looking at the bus stop sign.
When the phone went through, the Chinese-American man said to the person on the phone in Spanish, "Torre, I made an unexpected discovery...... Yes, exactly what you're interested in...... Ah, the goods, the procurement process seems to be a little unsmooth, but don't worry, it's just a little trouble, I'll solve it myself...... time, I need more time, yes, please give me another week...... No, no, no need for an assistant......"
At this time, another bus arrived, the man put away the phone, got into the bus, followed the route taken by Wang Cheng, and tracked all the way to ......;
