Chapter 1: Yi Xiaochen
The small city of P, Province H, like the rest of the world, is immersed in the hustle and bustle of machines and the never-ending haze all year round. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Recently, a cold snap has swept through the area, and although it is the middle of June, the cloudy sky and the light rain do not make people feel a trace of warmth.
In front of the bus stop, there were a few people standing in the desert.
The aunt holding the child is yelling at the mobile phone, and the words are full of filthy words, looking at her angry appearance, the ghost knows if she will throw away the crying child in her arms out of anger.
Next to it, a little couple greeted me and me, enjoying the sweetness of love.
In front of the information board at the station, a young man of 244 or 5 years old was staring at the information board carefully, checking the information of the bus he was going to take.
From a close distance, he is of average stature, but he is 1.7 meters, with a small flat head, thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is generally quite pleasing to the eye, and should belong to the kind that cannot be found when thrown into the pile.
Since it was still raining lightly, the young man was holding a cheap umbrella in one hand and a pancake in the other.
I don't know when, a rickety figure full of vicissitudes of life quietly appeared behind him, although the old man's body bowed, but the invisible momentum prevented the raindrops from falling on his body, his eyes were slightly closed, but the light it shot out made people feel frightened.
"Young man, can you help me see, is the No. 77 bus waiting here? People are old, and their eyes are not good! ”
The young man was disturbed by the questioning, and he turned his head to see an old man smiling at him.
"Uncle, no, wait for Seventy-Seven Road to go to the other side."
"Yes, people are old and easy to get confused, thank you, young man!"
After speaking, the old man swayed and disappeared in the rain and mist, but the sky was gloomy, the rain and fog were continuous, and the young man kept his heart on the pancakes and information boards, and did not notice anything.
At this time, the young man's mobile phone rang, he quickly put down the umbrella and leaned against his feet, took out his mobile phone to connect, and before he could speak, he heard a rough roar rushing into his ears.
"Yi Xiaochen, you won't have to go to work tomorrow, look at the work you do, it's messy, the reports are all wrong, I really don't know what you eat all day, do you know how much the company has been affected because of your reports, waste stuff..."
Only then did we know that this young man was called Yi Xiaochen.
Looking at his panting and reddish appearance, everyone knows that he is on fire.
In the face of the unexpected reprimand, Yi Xiaochen suppressed the anger in his heart as much as possible and explained to his boss.
"Manager, you listen to my explanation, this is the supervisor hard pressed to me, only given to me in the morning, I haven't started to tidy up yet, I..."
But the domineering manager obviously didn't intend to give him a chance to explain, because there was already a 'beep' hang-up sound on the phone.
At this moment, Yi Xiaochen really had the idea of beating the manager, but the light rain quickly fell on his body, and soon, his anger was extinguished with the coolness of the rain.
Eventually, he let out a long breath of turbidity, calmed down, and walked towards the approaching bus.
Yi Xiaochen, this contemporary young man who is safe with you and me is in a time of surging blood and passion.
However, as a college graduate, it was not until the moment he put himself in the shoes of the society that he realized that the original beautiful society was just an illusion, and that there was no battlefield without gunpowder at all, a whirlpool that was rapidly rotating and endless, and many young talents were ravaged in the battlefield, and they were caught in the torrent and disappeared, and most of the rest failed to leave.
But Yi Xiaochen does not believe in this evil, although he is not a top student, but he firmly believes that as long as people work hard, they will succeed.
It is also the support of this belief that in the two years since graduation, Yi Xiaochen is not afraid of hardship and tiredness, as long as he has the opportunity, he will go to work and earn money...
It wasn't until half a year ago that Lady Luck sent a smile, and he successfully applied for his current company, an information network sales company, as a salesman.
I thought this was a new beginning, but the phone call just now brought him back to his original shape and shattered the expectations in his heart.
Late at night, Yi Xiaochen returned to the rented community.
This is a rectification area, the rent is very cheap, 400 yuan a month, but it is a bit remote, and not many people are willing to rent, so that the street lights in the community are scarce.
After getting out of the car, Yi Xiaochen's whole body was shrouded in loss, he didn't know how to find the manager tomorrow to get back this month's salary, after all, where was that guy's arrogant appearance.
At this moment, a shout came from behind him.
"Lad, guy in front, wait a minute, get me something!"
After the voice screamed, Yi Xiaochen turned around and saw an old man carrying two large bags of things, moving forward step by step.
"Uncle, take it easy, I'll come!"
The kind-hearted Yi Xiaochen immediately swept away the loss, put on a smiling face, trotted over, and took the bag in the uncle's hand.
"Thank you, young man!"
"It's nothing, uncle, why are you alone, why don't your children pick you up at such a late hour?"
The old man smiled, not squeaking.
Seeing this, Yi Xiaochen also shut up and stopped being bored.
After walking for five or six minutes, the two of them stood in front of a building.
The old man said to Yi Xiaochen: "Okay, young man, that's it, there are only a few steps left, I'll just go up by myself!" ”
Reflecting the street lamp, Yi Xiaochen looked at the wrinkles on the old man's face, and said kindly: "Uncle, I live in front, and I'm not in a hurry to go back, or I'll send it to you, the voice-controlled lights in the corridors of our community are not easy to use, such two big bags of things, the black lights are blind, what if you don't pay attention?" ”
"No, no!"
As he spoke, the old man took the big bag from Yi Xiaochen's hand and turned to leave.
At this point, Yi Xiaochen glanced at the old man's back twice, and sighed a little in his heart -- a stubborn old man, and then Yi Xiaochen shrugged his shoulders and turned around and walked home.
In his eyes, if his parents were his age, he would definitely not let them go out to buy things in the middle of the night, in case they bumped into them, it would be bad.
But if he wants to come back, Yi Xiaochen is lost again, the reason is still himself, he thought that he could buy a small house after a few years of hard work and bring his parents to enjoy the blessings, but looking at the current situation, it seems impossible.
Back at the residence, Yi Xiaochen washed casually and fell asleep on the bed.
In the dream, he saw his parents who were setting up a stall to sell fruits, looking at his parents who were gradually getting old, Yi Xiaochen trotted over and wanted to help, but he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't run in front of his parents.
"People live by thoughts, thoughts are based on love, but once the thoughts are broken, people will become godless and thoughtless beasts, at that time, the demonic nature hidden in the depths of the soul will break through the imprisonment and control everything, then people will not just be a beast, but a wanton beast!"
Hearing this untimely voice, Yi Xiaochen was stunned for a moment, and looked back to see an old man in black standing not far away, but this old man quickly dispersed like a mist, leaving no trace.
