Hua Zhenxing was raised by Old Man Yang, but their relationship doesn't feel like father and son, or even like grandchildren. Hua Zhenxing's name was taken by Old Man Yang, but he didn't have the surname Yang, as for why he was surnamed Hua, because he was a Chinese from the Eastern Kingdom. In fact, people from many countries in the East look similar, and I don't know why Old Man Yang thought at a glance that the baby was Chinese......

Thinking of this, Hua Zhenxing suddenly realized that his state was a little problematic, he didn't go home in the middle of the night, and actually leaned against the wall of the alley to recall the past, maybe the dream had too much impact on him, and his mind was inexplicably a little trance.

Looking up again, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and the stars were so bright that they seemed to give the illusion that they could pick one off just by standing on the roof and reaching out. This is indeed the place where he has lived since he was a child, and Old Man Yang taught him that as long as he knows the exact time, he can judge his approximate position on this planet by the starry sky above his head.

In the same way, as long as you know the exact location, you can tell the time by the starry sky...... It's about three o'clock in the morning. There was wind, and the sound of the wind whining and intermittent in the distance was like a wild dog on the prairie roaring, and when it blew closer, it was like the spikes on a porcupine's body rubbing.

Hua Zhenxing heard movement not far away, and there was a faint smell of urine in the wind, someone was passing by nearby in the middle of the night, and was looking for a corner to be convenient. Then he heard a gunshot, the echo was a little ethereal, and it should have been far away.

It's time to go home, Hua Zhenxing stood up and moved his hands and feet, his somewhat stiff body gradually became soft and flexible, and then quietly left along the wall.

Old man Yang's grocery store is a two-story building in front, with a courtyard in the back, the courtyard wall is a distance from the surrounding buildings, covering an area of almost 300 square meters, and there are two people living in it on weekdays.

Feisuo Port is not the port of the eastern country, the land is very cheap, and it is hard to say how high the housing price is for the locals, but it is definitely not high for Old Man Yang.

In the riot fifteen years ago, many buildings were abandoned, and Old Man Yang could occupy as much space as he wanted, as long as he could hold on. But Old Man Yang didn't take the opportunity to occupy the territory, and his grocery store was such a small two-story building with a backyard at that time. Over the past decade or so, people have continued to pour from the villages of various tribes into the city, and the port has become crowded again.

In the impression of the locals, although Old Man Yang is a Chinese from the Eastern Kingdom, he came earlier than everyone in this neighborhood. It's as if he's ever opened a grocery store here.

Yes, it's all history, and this idiom is not wrong. The average life expectancy of the locals is only in their early thirties, and there is an old saying in the eastern kingdom that "life is rare in seventy years", and it is not uncommon to live to the age of seventy in the eastern country today, but in the port of Africa, this poem is particularly accurate.

Old man Yang has been running a grocery store here for at least 30 years. At least, because the longest memory of this neighborhood is more than thirty years. Because of the war and turmoil, some people died and some left, and Old Man Yang became the longest-lived resident here, and he and his grocery store were like a miracle or historical relic.

The front door of the grocery store facing north faces north, and there is a side door to the east that opens to open the kitchen. The kitchen is large and has a nine-pot stove in it. Hua Zhenxing walked through the kitchen, up the stairs from the living room to the second floor, and into his bedroom.

Many streets and alleys in Fesogang are not equipped with street lights, and even where there are street lights, many light bulbs are broken. Some idle bad boys like to play the game of street lamp when they have nothing to do, and it is enough to break a street lamp and smash a stone, and then it is difficult to wait for the maintenance personnel to fix it.

The curtains are open, and although there are no street lights outside, there is still a glimmer of light on a clear night, and if the eyes have adapted to the darkness, they can still dimly distinguish the outlines of some objects in the house. Hua Zhenxing suddenly felt that something was wrong, his eyes narrowed, but his neck did not move.

Someone hid in the bedroom, clinging to the side of the cabinet. Hua Zhenxing didn't seem to have any reaction, but his brain was spinning rapidly, it seemed that this was not a friendly visit, could it be that what Charles said in the bar last night was heard, and the other party thought that he was also Charles's accomplice, so he came to deal with himself?

Hua Zhenxing walked straight to the bed quietly, and closed the curtains to avoid the bright light. The curtain had a blackout layer, and when it was closed, the room became dark with no fingers visible, and he had taken out his fingers and put them on his left hand.

From the perspective of the lurker, they will not even realize that they have been exposed. Old man Yang has already taught Hua Zhenxing that if you find that someone wants to ambush you and thinks you are hiding well, your first reaction must be calm, it is best to let the other party not know that you have discovered him, and then try to suddenly counter.

This is the struggle for the advantage of an information asymmetry. The other party hides and wants to sneak attack, he knows you and you don't know him, he has the advantage of information; But you've discovered him and he's not aware of it, and you, in turn, have an advantage in information that you need to take advantage of.

The moment the curtain was closed, the other party couldn't see Hua Zhenxing, and Hua Zhenxing flashed and silently went to the other side of the cabinet, and the paratrooper knife had already appeared in his right hand. There was a large cabinet between him and the lurkers, and the other party couldn't shoot him, so if he wanted to use the knife, he had to go around and know his location.

At this moment, he suddenly relaxed, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, aren't you afraid that I will destroy your old man with one shot?" ”

Mr. Yang is what he usually calls Old Man Yang, and the old man likes others to call him that. Old man Yang's voice came from the other side of the cabinet: "You didn't bring a gun when you went out today, and the small pistol hidden behind the curtain didn't touch it just now, did you?" ”

Hua Zhenxing has a pistol, very small and with a self-made silencer voice changer, hidden behind the curtain, he just pulled the curtain to actually touch the gun, but he didn't touch it, it turned out to have been taken away by Old Man Yang. Hua Zhenxing snorted and said, "So you're also afraid?" I'm afraid that if I get nervous and miss, I'll shoot you. ”

Old man Yang: "I'm just testing your reaction to see if you will be nervous if you find that the gun is gone." ”

Hua Zhenxing: "How many times have you played this trick!" Aren't you afraid that if I really encounter danger in the future, I will think that you are tempting, but something bad will happen, haven't you heard the story of 'the wolf is coming'? ”

Listening to the voice, Old Man Yang had already walked out from behind the cabinet: "Vigilance is actually a habit, as long as you learn to react correctly every time." ”

Hua Zhenxing put away the finger tiger and paratrooper knife, lifted two sandbags from his feet and hung them on a hook above his head, and the room suddenly lit up, and at the same time there was a faint sound of mechanical rotation.

On the wall hangs a device the size of a bowl, with a rice-grain-sized LED bulb in the center of the disc, the kind used for mobile phone flashlights. A wire rope sticks out from under the disc with a hook. Two heavy sandbags hung up, and the wire rope was slowly pulled out, and the small light bulb turned on.

The principle of this thing is actually not complicated, it is similar to that of a mechanical clock, but its power does not come from the spring spring, but the potential energy of the falling weight, and the gear set drives not the dial but a miniature motor, with an output of less than one watt, which will be enough to light such a small light bulb.

Its official name is the Black Wilderness Bright Lantern, and it has a well-known history as a charity aid project. It is a well-known international charity fund of Mijian country through the United Nations rescue organization, to help the black desert continent of civilian resources. There are many places in the Black Wilderness Continent that have not yet been electrified, and this thing can be lit at night.

The LED lights used in mobile phones, although the power is very small, but the brightness is not low, and people can see the surrounding things clearly in a small area, and if they are close, they can even read the text in the book, which is a bit eye-wrenching.

This kind of passive lighting is actually ordered in Yiwu City, Dongguo, the factory price is 80 yuan, and the large order can be reduced to 60 yuan, sticking to the brand of Mijian and the United Nations rescue organization, in the project of the charity fund is 200 meters of gold each, claiming to have donated 500,000 yuan to the country and the surrounding areas, and the non-Sogang has also been put into place.

The hanging in Huazhen Xingwu is what he took from the store to play, it has been disassembled and modified, and the hanging is divided into two sandbags, each thirty pounds, and it falls to the ground from a height of more than two meters, and the lamp can be lit for ten minutes. What to do after 10 minutes, you can retract the wire rope and continue to hang the sandbag to light it again.

There is electricity in the port of Africa, but there are frequent power outages, so it is more convenient to have such an object hanging in the house. Grocery stores don't receive international aid, which locals use to buy groceries. The retail price for takeaway in the grocery store is $80 and the wholesale price is $60.

Bulbs the size of a grain of rice glow to dispel the darkness and illuminate the room. There was a cabinet against the wall, and Hua Zhenxing was standing on the side of the cabinet across the door, and in the middle of the other side of the room was a window, and on the left side of the window was a bed.

Hua Zhenxing's pistol was hidden behind the curtain at the head of the bed, but it was now placed on the table. The table is on the right side of the window, and there is only one chair in front of the table. Old man Yang turned his chair around and sat facing Hua Zhenxing, crossed his legs and asked, "What are you doing, you go home sneaky and like a thief?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "I said hello to you before I went out, and I went to the Happy Bar with the big man Hei Shire." ”

Old man Yang: "You didn't learn to chew grass and smoke leaves with them, did you?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Of course not! I don't touch those things, I just drink. ”

Old man Yang pouted: "The second pot head is mixed with banana wine, put it in the footbath, and a bunch of people gather around it and suck ......it with grass stalks."

Hua Zhenxing hurriedly interrupted: "Don't say it, it sounds weird and disgusting." ”

The local specialty of the "cocktail" is to use home-made banana liquor and mix it with some whiskey, vodka and other spirits, but nowadays it is basically made in the East of the country, because it is cheap and strong.

After the sake is mixed, a little sugar is added to it, and it tastes strange and difficult to drink, but it is very popular with the locals. They have a very popular way of drinking, that is, they put the wine in a wooden basin, and then sit in a circle, each holding a long grass stalk and sucking it, looking at the expression like a fairy enjoyment, while drinking while talking loudly, and often singing.

The two-pot head used to make "cocktails" at the Happy Bar was bought from the grocery store. There is even Moutai in the grocery store, and Hua Zhenxing doesn't need to go there to taste so bad if he wants to drink. But the atmosphere there is different, which is completely different from the feeling of drinking a little wine at home, and it is easy to get up and down when you drink it, and everyone in the circle will be very excited.

But listening to what Old Man Yang said, the wooden basin for wine and the footwash for home are indeed the same model, and it is estimated that they were also bought from the grocery store. Although people don't use it to wash their feet, it seems to be dirty and sticky...... I don't know how I was able to drink so well at the time.

Old man Yang smiled: "You have to endure the nausea!" Whose teenager is not ridiculous, you have grown up and learned to club. But how much alcohol have you drunk, so far? ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Actually, I didn't come back in the middle of the night, but when I was about to get home, I somehow got drunk and slept against the wall." ”

Old man Yang: "Your heart is really big enough, remember the lesson in the future." Didn't lose anything, is the virginity still there? ”

Old man Yang often spoke without a straight shape, Hua Zhenxing replied: "I didn't lose anything, I just had a dream, what a strange dream!" I actually dreamed of the world 500 years later, and I was going to talk to you tomorrow. ”

Old man Yang: "Oh, what dream? Let's talk about it now. ”

Hua Zhenxing felt that the wine had completely woken up at this time, and the person was still very energetic, and he was not sleepy at all, so he also sat down and told Fang Cai's dream.

That dream didn't feel like a dream, it was like a personal experience, and it felt like he really had such an identity, witnessed such a world, and even had such a life.

He really wished that he would be the person in his dreams and live in such a world. The dream seems absurd, but the reality of Afroport is even more absurd. With this feeling, Hua Zhenxing ended the story.

Old man Yang: "Finished?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "After that, I can't remember many places anymore. ”

Old man Yang: "I can't remember how much can I say?" ”

Hua Zhenxing was a little embarrassed and said: "A lot of details are made up by my brain, and I think it should be like that." ”

Old man Yang suddenly laughed, laughing inexplicably.
