Chapter 1: A Late Night Visit
It's been raining again for a week, and it's been a headache to sit on the balcony and listen to the sound of cars whizzing by outside the window. Tomorrow is Monday, and it is disgusting to wake up early to deal with those endless tedious and tangled tasks, and to face the hateful faces of the boss and the staff below.
......
Ling Feng sighed, rubbed his forehead, took off his coat, got up and poured a glass of orange juice, tilted his head and poured it, trying to calm himself down, I don't know how many times he complained, but there was no way to change the status quo, I don't know when his life became a mess, and the bad had numbed himself.
Habitually turn on the computer, look at the circle of friends, the girl who has been in love with her until now, the news that she is finally going to get married, it seems that he has been waiting for this day for a long time, the sadness at the moment is not so obvious, his dream is going to be shattered after all, so early, maybe it is also good, it is worth being happy that she finally found her own happiness, found the happiness that she does not deserve and can't give;
I don't know when my physical and mental strength seems to have been drained, my reaction is slow, and my spirit is sluggish; watching others reach their age, energetic and striving for their careers, happy family life, and cute and gentle girlfriends, sometimes I can't help but feel envious and lonely, and in the dead of night, when I think about it, I am really afraid that I will be muddy for the rest of my life.
Dididi, the ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted Ling Feng's thoughts, pulling him back to reality, and he picked up the phone weakly and glanced at it.
"Huh?" this is, "Hey, Fat Zhao, what's the matter so late?"
"Big brother, what time is it, it's late at 9 o'clock, you can't do it, you're old and frail, right?" Zhao Xiaotian said with a smile.
"Go, go, I don't have time to talk to you, if you have a fart, it's annoying," Ling Feng said impatiently.
"It's nothing, it's just that I did well in the exam today, and I've been preparing for a year, so I should be able to pass the exam this time, so I'm looking for you to come out and relax."
“...... You are basing your happiness on my pain, you don't have time, find someone else, I'm hanging", just when he said this, Jiang Feng felt that something seemed to be wrong, and he was about to speak.
"Don't, don't, I'm near your house, here on Jiangbei Road, the stewed prawns in this house are delicious, and then order a few plates of side dishes, you are satisfied, I will treat you" Zhao Xiaotian hurriedly said.
"Near my house, aren't you in Guangdong? Are you coming back for the exam?" Ling Feng said suspiciously, this guy, when his parents had an accident, he didn't see him come back, why did he suddenly come back at this time, or for an exam, anyway, come out to see him.
Thinking of this, Ling Feng pretended to hesitate and said, "...... Well, for your sake, wait for me for 10 minutes, and I'll pack up and come out", he said and picked up a black Adi sports jacket from the sofa and put it on his body, put on a pair of sneakers and went out.
Zhao Xiaotian is Ling Feng's iron buddy in junior high school and high school, because Zhao Xiaotian is short and fat, he is always bullied by people inside and outside the school, Ling Feng is not used to it, and always stands up for him, for which the two of them have also suffered a lot of injuries and many beatings, therefore, Zhao Xiaotian has always treated Ling Feng as his eldest brother in his heart, and Ling Feng has always helped Zhao Xiaotian as his own brother.
For so many years, intermittent contact, thinking that back then, Zhao Xiaotian was inferior to himself everywhere, but in the year of the college entrance examination, I didn't know which Bodhisattva I worshipped, which temple I burned incense, and the salted fish turned over, and then it was smooth sailing, and after graduating from college, I applied for a high-paying job in real estate, and was promoted step by step, and found a beautiful and well-figured little sister as a girlfriend, and I felt that life was impermanent when I thought about it.
......
"Alas, Brother Feng, here and here!" Zhao Fatman's deep voice came from afar, and he saw a burly and sturdy man standing in the distance, about 1.7 meters tall, with a flat head, wearing a clean white shirt, suit pants, black leather shoes, and a travel bag, waving violently at himself.
After trotting all the way across the road, Ling Feng asked strangely, "Didn't you live a happy life with your little sister in Guangdong, why did you come back suddenly?"
"Isn't this coming back to take the construction exam, I haven't seen you for a long time, just have a meal together, look at how you are doing, big brother, don't forget me, little brother, what is there to take care of me" Zhao Xiaotian teased improperly.
Ling Feng rolled his eyes when he heard this, "I'll spit at you to death, I'm so bad, how can I take you, my brother is not as good as back then."
"Come on, come on, sit down and say" Zhao Xiaotian patted Ling Feng on the shoulder.
Sitting down, the two ordered a large pot of braised prawns, edamame, cold noodles and barbecue, a few bottles of beer, and began to drink in large gulps, the boss brought the same dishes, and the two brothers slowly chatted.
While eating, I talked about the past when I was in school, and I was fascinated by thousands of girls, thinking that at that time, I often skipped classes and went online, and my academic performance was still among the best, and I was also chased by stars in various activities, which was simply the pinnacle of life, and I don't know why I was so planted now.
Ling Feng tugged at his neckline, sighed, and poured a sip of wine.
"Don't be like this, it'll be fine," Zhao Xiaotian comforted. "You look like a dog now, you wear a serious dress, and you say, how many women from good families have you harmed," Ling Feng said jokingly as he stared at the fat man in a formal suit.
"What's the matter, I'm obviously still a child, so I just occasionally put my sister", occasionally put my sister, Ling Feng stared at Zhao Xiaotian speechless for a while.
Seeing that the eldest brother in his childhood stared at him for a long time and didn't speak, the fat man was also embarrassed, and hurriedly found a topic, "By the way, did you contact Qiqi later?"
Ling Feng heard this wry smile and said secretly, "It's gone, since that incident, it's gone."
"It's okay, I'll introduce you to someone who is 10,000 times better than her, let her get married by herself, I believe in you, no matter what happens, I believe that you are not that kind of person, you must have your own difficulties, since she doesn't believe in you, then there is no need to cherish it" The fat man patted Ling Feng's shoulder with a full breath, and then the corners of his mouth twitched, and he found that he seemed to have missed his mouth.
"It doesn't matter" Hearing this, Ling Feng just shook his head and continued, "It's you, where did you come from so many crooked reasoning. ”
"Haha, it's nothing, the more you experience, the more you know, let's not talk about this, don't talk about this, I have another thing to look for you, you can take a look." Zhao Xiaotian saw that his eldest brother did not react, so he hurriedly diverted the topic.
Speaking of this, Zhao Xiaotian looked around, saw that there was no one around, took out a cloth bag from his pocket and put it on the table, spread it out layer by layer, and what appeared in front of him was a slightly peculiar stone.
The irregular dark green surface has sparse dark golden scales like fish scales, and the middle of the stone seems to shimmer with a jet-black luster, which appears from time to time. Ling Feng rubbed his eyes, and the luster disappeared as if it was an illusion.
"What is this, a little strange, and ...... How can I say it, it's a bit of a sense of déjà vu," Ling Feng said strangely with a frown.
Zhao Xiaotian lowered his voice and leaned into Ling Feng's ear, "Brother Feng, have you seen it?" This is impossible, this stone was during the construction of our company's newly developed project last month, and there was something dug into the ground, as if it was digging a large mausoleum, and I didn't have time to report it in time, I went down with the on-site management personnel to check, and saw a few overtime migrant workers picking things inside, they were afraid that we would report it, so that they would not benefit anything, and I didn't care about it, it was just a broken stone, and others also took it."
"Oh, oh, you came to me for this stone?"
"This doesn't seem to be an ordinary stone, or rather, the things taken out of that cemetery are not ordinary, how to say, there are still 6 or 7 pieces that were picked up at that time, and I saw a mini armor model, a small dagger, a small compass, a small mirror, a mini ancient bronze stone, and other things seem to be much more valuable than what I take, but my position is not high in it, I think this stone is good, so I will follow it, but later, strange things followed" Zhao Xiaotian said solemnly.
