"I'm back." As soon as James stepped into the old mansion, his heart was a little sour, and he had never come back since he abandoned everything and went outside. In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed, and he has changed from a vigorous youth to a ruined uncle.

Not to come back as a winner, but as a complete loser.

Pushing open the dilapidated wooden door, the house was in a mess, and the floor and table were covered with thick dust, and it was hard to imagine that there were people living here.

"The wood is sturdy, but it needs a little trimming." James looked up at the roof, there was no obvious damage, and there were no signs of dripping water on the floor of the house.

James would have said he wouldn't want to come back if he had a choice, but in fact, he was only a little better off than a homeless man.

The economy, which was not rich in the first place, went bankrupt, the house was taken away by the bank, his wife ran away with others, and his daughter was forcibly taken away from him by the child rescue agency, and he became completely alone and lost everything.

James was drunk all day long, and even wanted to die, but he couldn't do it, and he had a strong desire to survive at a critical time. He hated his cowardice, and even began to repent of the damned banks, the damned capitalists. Why not give him a chance, he can get a job and repay the loan clearly.

Overnight, he lost everything and became a vagabond, although he himself did not admit it. But soon, he began to adjust to life as a homeless man, queuing regularly to go to the rescue agency to get food and clothes, and to be cleaned regularly. Timed

He ended up being a tramp. A life is confused. A homeless man who no longer has hope for everything. When adult men in the U.S. federal community became 'vulnerable,' no relief organization would accept them.

Late at night, James sometimes thinks about his daughter, how is she doing? Helpless, she was kicked out by the rescue agency when she grew up, and how to live in society.

Thinking of the path his daughter might take in the future, James felt a burst of condemnation in his heart

No, he can't let his daughter drift in society and go through all kinds of suffering. He wants to be his daughter's last haven

So James plucked up his courage and cheered up. He had no skills and no ability to find a job enough to establish himself in the city, so James chose to return to his hometown.

James's hometown is in a remote town in Texas, USA, and it is a small town, but in fact, it is only a few hundred families.

He has a piece of land here, which is not large, and because it is close to the mountains and forests, it is not of high value, but if he works hard and finds a serious job in the town, he can still live again

Thoughts pull back from the memories. James picked up a framed picture on the table of a chubby middle-aged man standing in a cornfield laughing. This is his father, James Sr., with the same smile on the picture as when he was alive. A thin layer of dust had fallen on the glass of the frame, and James felt guilty, so he picked up the frame and wiped it with his clothes.

Shortly after his father's death, he decided to go out on his adventures. A young man from the countryside was unwilling to stay on a small land like his father all his life, and despite his mother's persuasion, he still came to the big city. It sounds inspirational, but life has taught James what it means to be hard.

Putting away his father's picture frame, James began to clean up, took a broom, and began to clean the old house. This is where I will live for the rest of my life, guarding a few plots of land like my father, this is the fate I should have taken more than 20 years ago.

The old mansion is a typical wooden house in the United States, covering a small area, only about 100 square meters, but it has a total of two floors, like a small villa. There is also a small yard at the back of the house, and in the past, his parents would always grow some vegetables in the yard, and in a summer, these vegetables would be enough for the family to eat and be self-sufficient.

While struggling to clean up, James reminisced about life here as a child. That's how happy I am to have a father and mother who love me.

"This situation can be recalled, but it was already lost at the time"

After a long day of cleaning, he finally cleaned up the dust in the house, James felt that he was tired and had back pain, but when he saw the results in front of him, his heart was steady, yes, it was steady, he hadn't lived so well for a long time, and he had been worried that one day the vampires in the bank would find him, and now he didn't have to worry about these things anymore.

The outside of the house also needs to be tidied up, which requires special preparation, and it is not early today, so we can only do it tomorrow.

James didn't mean to stop to rest, he walked to the vegetable garden in the backyard to clean up. It's been barren for so many years, and it's probably all weeds in the back.

As he expected, the backyard was a mess, overgrown with weeds, and rows of wooden supports were overwhelmed. From the traces of the scene, it can be analyzed, it should be artificial, it may be that the children of the town ran here to play and overwhelmed the scaffold.

James smiled knowingly, and walked over to pick up the brackets that had fallen into one piece, to see if he could continue to use them, as long as the wood was not completely decayed, there was no need to replace it with a new one, which would save him a lot of effort.

Trudging through the weeds around his waist, James came to the overwhelmed bracket and reached out to grab it.

Suddenly, his outstretched arm disappeared for a while, and James was startled and reflexively jumped backwards.

The arm is still intact and has not disappeared

What's going on?

Although James was nervous and felt a little frightened of the unknown in his heart, he did not run away immediately.

escape

You can escape there

This is his home, his last home, if there is no longer even this last place to live. He could only continue to be a wanderer in the city. Die. Receive relief food on a regular basis

Compared with the fear of the mysterious unknown in his heart, James is more afraid of becoming a homeless man again, and the courage to survive seriously has been struck away.

Even if there is a ghost, James decides to drive it away, and this is his territory

James's eyes became firm, his excited and frightened heart gradually calmed down, and he tentatively reached out his hand to the stand lying on the ground again.

This time. James clearly saw that there seemed to be an invisible giant mouth in the void, and his hand seemed to be swallowed, without pain, without any strange feeling.

The arm was withdrawn, and his hand reappeared in its entirety, and the amazed James began to stretch out, withdraw, reach, and retract

It was a little dark, and James leaned his face close to the place where his hand mysteriously disappeared, and when he looked closely, he found that there seemed to be a frosted mirror here. The space in the void was slightly distorted, and it was impossible to observe it without looking closely.

What is this?

James' mind was full of questions. What the hell is on the opposite side of the disappearance of the arm

Thinking about it in confusion, it was really difficult for James's brain, which had never passed high school physics again, to guess a rough idea.

This thing appeared in the backyard of his house, whether to notify the American scientific research institutions, maybe this is an extremely rare supernatural phenomenon, and the scientific research institutions may pay themselves a large amount of money.

Thinking of this, James's heart burned slightly, but he didn't act immediately, because it was just his own unilateral conjecture. Maybe the U.S. government won't give it a penny, or even take this place for itself and drive him away, or even if this thing is so valuable that it doesn't want the people to know, and then let the agents kill people.

Anyway, he doesn't have any relatives, and his only daughter is still young and can't be contacted, and the death of a homeless man in the United States will not attract the attention of others.

It's not that James is speculating about the U.S. federal government from a malicious point of view, it's that he doesn't have any good feelings about this government.

"Perhaps, I should explore its secrets first and see if it can be fetched for a good price" James couldn't hide his curiosity, he desperately wanted to know what was on the other side.

"It's okay to put your hand out, so it's okay to stick your head out, right? It should be like this" James quickly thought in his heart, walked in front of the distorted space, and stretched out half of his body directly.

The scene in front of me suddenly changed, as if the picture in a movie had suddenly changed

Here it is

James was dumbfounded as he watched everything in front of him, a rugged hillside, green meadows, and dense jungle in the distance. The surrounding trees are unusually thick, and each tree seems to be a hundred years old, and it takes several people to hug it.

Suddenly, a small creature spun out of the woods, looking very fluffy and cute, like a blue rabbit with long ears, and when it found James, it seemed to be a little frightened, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. James was sure that he had certainly not seen such an animal, nor had he heard of it.

From a distance, James must be funny, because James only has the upper half of his body crooked, but the lower half of his body has mysteriously disappeared, as if his body has been cut off by the waist. In response to this strange phenomenon, it is no wonder that the rabbit felt fear.

Taking a deep breath, James seemed to feel the vitality he had not felt for a long time, and his whole body was full of strength.

"I'm sure this is not Earth," James confirmed.

He didn't stay long, James retreated, and the mysterious world was likely to have unknown dangers, and it was necessary to think about it in the long run.

The old mansion had not been inhabited for too long, even the light bulb had been broken, and the power had long been cut off, so James had nowhere to go, so he lived in a freshly cleaned house.

In the middle of the night, a candle flickered weakly, providing the only remaining light.

James lay on the hardwood bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, his heart was on fire.

No one expected that there would be a spatial door in the backyard of his house that connected to the other world, perhaps this was God's compensation for himself.

It was likely to be an unexplored world that would bring great benefits to himself, and he felt that all the hopes of his life were pressed on the space door, and his life was likely to change because of it.

James was also a little scared, he was afraid that this was a dream, and he was even more afraid that the space gate would suddenly disappear

In a toss-and-turn daze, James fell asleep, and the next morning, James woke up and immediately rushed to the backyard.

Fortunately, the space door is still there, it hasn't disappeared, and it's not a dream.

James was elated, the original plan for today was to clean up the garbage outside the house, but now the plan had to be disrupted.

His home is a bit remote compared to the town, and no one usually comes to this place at all, but James is afraid that what if someone comes here and finds the space door?

So James cut a lot of branches in the woods, all of them were piled up in the backyard, and the space door was impassable, and the messy branches crisscrossed the city, so that people didn't come in to take a look.

After doing all this, James began to plan to explore the strange otherworld on the other side of the space gate

There may be all kinds of dangers in the other world, although that forest seems to only have tall trees, not too many weeds, and the biological structure is simple, far less dangerous than the earth's rainforest, but the carnivores that may be hidden still bring great danger to him.

First of all, at least a gun.

Now that James is poor and white, he has no spare money to buy a gun, and there is no gun store in the town, so James plans to borrow a gun. People in the town basically have a few guns in every house, after all, they live in remote areas, and the police are not so quick to get there if something happens.

And most families will have double-barreled shotguns, and there are many wild animals here.

Although he hasn't been back for more than twenty years, there are still some acquaintances in the town. James planned to borrow a gun from Old Tom, he still had a very good relationship with him, and took great care of him, and after hearing that he came back, he even offered to give him a job. Let James feel a little warm in his cold heart, and ask Old Tom to borrow a gun in the name of hunting, and he will probably lend it to himself.

"How's it going, James? Need my help? ”

James from afar saw Old Tom standing energetically in front of his courtyard and fiddling with flowers and plants, and Old Tom was very happy to see him and warmly welcomed James into the house.

"Thanks, it's pretty much it, I'll be able to handle the rest soon." James replied with a smile.

"Time flies so fast, I watched you grow up, a young guy became middle-aged in the blink of an eye, and your father has been gone for more than twenty years." Old Tom sighed with emotion.

"Uncle Tom, I'm here today to think" James was a little cramped, and it was not polite to borrow a gun in the United States.

"No, don't be embarrassed, if you're short of money, just talk to me." Old Tom smiled and got up to get the money for James.

"I'm not here to borrow money." James blushed and stopped old Tom, "I want to borrow money from you to hunt in the woods." ”

Old Tom was stunned, looked at James intently for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. (To be continued......)
