Five years later, that is, now. ⊥ said

At this time, I was sitting in front of a computer in a room, with a cigarette in my mouth, staring at the old desktop computer, tapping on the keyboard with both hands, and the rhythmic sound of the black tea mechanical keyboard was like music, which made me fascinated and forget the distractions outside.

I became a coder who made a living by hiding in the shadows and typing on the keyboard to write ghost stories, and now I have written down my real experience five years ago, of course, with the addition of oil and vinegar, which is called "the truth of art".

"Gong Nan, you come out to eat quickly!" My wife's voice came from outside, gentle and a little strong, just like her ** kung fu.

Well, my wife's surname is Bai, we only got married a year ago, and now we don't have children, but we will have them in six months, which I only found out last month, when we learned the news, I was so happy that I didn't even get stuck in writing, and I didn't need to finish a chapter in half an hour, and it was no exaggeration to say that even drinking plain water was sweet.

Now our life is quite satisfied, the previous stormy experience, did not let us wash away the lead and enlightenment, nor did I get a cut above the others and become rich, but, in the past five years, there have been no winds and waves, it can be regarded as a happy ending, at least, I got the person I love the most.

But in the dead of night, I always think, is this really the end?

I always felt that this was not real, it was like a dream, maybe I didn't wake up after defeating the fire demon coma in the ghost domain five years ago, and all this was a long, dull dream in my mind when I was unconscious.

However, the pressures of life are so real on me that I can't question the truth of all this.

A family cannot be as beautiful as romance, it has happiness, happiness, and satisfaction, and naturally there will be contradictions, twists and turns, complaints, pressure, dullness, and even cracks, which need to be understood, accommodated, and repaired by both parties.

First of all, I have to take care of this family, although it is only a family of two now, but firewood, rice, oil and salt all need money, and from now on, I have to save money for milk powder. None of this is easy. Then I have to take care of my parents, as well as Bai Nuoxin's parents, in addition to money, I also need to have the dignity that can stand up to the façade, and this dignity needs to be embellished with the honor that comes with my profession. It's even harder.

Strictly speaking, I am an unemployed vagrant, no five insurances and one housing fund, no social security, no matter what happens, I have to pay for my own money, there is no housing fund for selling a house, there is no medical insurance reimbursement issued by the company, there is no vacation, no year-end bonus, everything has to come from myself.

The older generation all sneered at this line of work, and even more generalized that the Internet was garbage, that is, yellow, of course, this cannot be all blamed on them, there are indeed some scum in this industry, polluting the entire industry, just as there are corrupt officials who are officials, and there are profiteers who are businessmen, which is a truth.

In fact, there are two sides to everything, the original Tang and Song Dynasty legends, Ming and Qing Dynasty chapters, the mainstream at that time was not scorned, called the vulgar works of the philistine, only the four books and five classics of poetry and rhetoric supreme. It's like the older generation is only decent when they see you find a job with a monthly salary of 6,000 and 9 to 5, as for those who do our business, it is not three, even if the monthly salary is 10,000, it will not be on the stage. In fact, these are all discrimination, cultural discrimination, and occupational discrimination, which have reached a deep-rooted level, but everyone is ignorant of it, and they still take everything for granted. This was the case hundreds of years ago, and it is still the same hundreds of years later. In fact, what I think is, who would have thought hundreds of years ago that today, hundreds of years later, the four famous novels at home and abroad would be precipitated from those vulgar philistine works?

I don't dare that there will be a famous work through the ages on the Internet, but I am sure that the essence of it must be there, and it will be passed on forever.

I know that the old people are all tendons, stubborn, even if you use eight cows to pull, it is impossible to pull them back, so I am too lazy to write about them I am the Internet, even if I can earn that much money now, can support a family, and compared to the 9-to-5 office workers, a lot of happiness, but I still won't tell them, I only tell them, I only tell them, I am engaged in e-commerce.

E-commerce, it sounds lofty, and now it is popular, it can still make them confused, they don't know what's going on, and they can't delve into it anymore.

Well, I sell e-books, which can be regarded as a type of e-commerce.

I will only look at people who understand me and my profession, I don't understand or respect people, and to be honest, I haven't looked at them from the bottom of my heart.

In recent years, Nuoxin and I have had several trips on the go.

Some people who don't know me will be surprised and ask, don't you have to go to work? I go on a trip every other day of the year! And enviously, you are so happy!

Seeing their stunned expressions, I only smiled faintly and pretended to quote Lu Xun's words: Time is like water in a sponge, as long as you are willing to squeeze it, there will always be.

In fact, I don't have to squeeze my time at all, if I want to travel, just a few more chapters in advance.

Well, that's a little bit of where I'm now.

I'm quite happy with where I'm now.

The only knot that remains in my heart that I can't untie is Su Luoxi.

Five years ago, she left me a farewell letter, and it was never seen again. After I woke up in the ghost domain, I took Li Youlan's large team of soldiers and horses, Bai Nuoxin, Xuanyun, and went to search near Yin City, and it was a year to search, with Yin City as the center, within a radius of several hundred kilometers, every inch of land was searched, but there was no trace of her.

She may have died in the fire that had been burning for more than a month in the city, and although I still refuse to believe it, I no longer have any hope of finding her.

As for the old way, he broke his right hand, and his skills were exhausted, and after returning from the ghost domain, he lived in seclusion in the Linglong labyrinth of Xuanyun, and now he is concentrating on studying the Dharma without desires. He stopped believing in Buddhism and converted to Buddhism.

A month ago, Bai Nuoxin and I went to see him and Xuanyun, Xuanyun is still the same, he always likes to raise some rare beasts in his exquisite labyrinth, but since the sea wolf went to conquer the sea, he is much quieter here. Lao Dao was as calm as a monk, and it seemed that he had already understood the Dharma.

Li Youlan stayed in the ghost realm, she is suitable for living in the ghost realm, she is no longer suitable for this world where there are always Taoist priests who want to destroy her, and she is not suitable for the yin and yang barrier, because in the yin and yang realm, she has no other friends except Wu Li, and now Wu Li has long been wiped out, and there is no point for her to stay in the yin and yang realm.

In fact, there is a more important reason why she stayed in the ghost domain, that is, she conquered this world of crazy demons, and now the ghost domain has been unified, the fire demon and the bat god are dead, Li Youlan established the Youlan Empire, with Mojing as the capital. I didn't believe it when she told me this, but that's the way it is, she also sat on the throne of the first emperor of the founding of the country, and she was the first female emperor, no one before her, as for whether there will be anyone in the future, it will be difficult.

As for Xiao Liyi who was lying in the Linglong labyrinth, well, I later took out the Tianling Purple Stone and gave it to her, and then she was resurrected as expected, but the resurrection process was more complicated, her soul had already entered the underworld, and Xuanyun tossed for a while, and then she brought back her three souls and seven spirits.

Her resurrection was reasonable, but to my surprise, she didn't remember anything after she was resurrected, not even who she was. According to Xuanyun's method, that is, she has been dead for too long, and the cells in the brain are insufficient, causing the brain cells to die, and the memory is damaged, and this amnesia may be permanent.

When I heard the news, I was a little disappointed, but then I was relieved, and Bai Nuoxin and I dropped her off at her door in the middle of the night and left quickly. Since then, and now, it has been several years, and I haven't seen Xiao Liyi again. I went to her house to look for her a while ago, but unfortunately she had already moved, and I asked her former best friends Liu Ying and Jiameng about it, and then I learned that she had gone abroad.

Xiao Liyi came back intact, so the police's wanted arrest for me and Xie Yanglong was lifted.

As for Xie Yanglong, he is still the soul hunter, but since he married Ye Ling'er, his body has not been as good as before, and he is not so diligent in his work now. When he came to play with me last month, he kept complaining to me, how is Ye Ling'er, as if his wife was his former enemy, but when he went back that night, he still had to smile at Ye Ling'er and serve her well.

"Your ghost dorm is coming to an end today?" During dinner, my wife inadvertently asked me a question.

Me: "yes, it's over. ”

She nodded, "Our story isn't over yet, but it's long over." ”

I glanced at her, wondering what she meant by this, was she praising me for being good to her, and was she still belittling the scum I wrote?

She also followed my books, and I showed her every chapter I wrote, correcting any mistakes and omissions before uploading them.

She added: "It's over, it's too much to write, I can't stand it anymore, you write ghost stories, and the back is written as fantasy, completely off-topic." ”

I smiled awkwardly, "When I was writing essays in high school, I liked to talk like this, and I can't change this bad habit." ”

The story is very, but in fact, life is even more.

Aren't you?
