In the sound of roaring machines in the workshop, Qin Tian buried his head in the heavy cloth cart and pushed it with difficulty, moving forward step by step in the narrow and chaotic passage.

Sweat mixed with gray-black dander slowly dripped down his cheeks due to exertion, and slowly merged into a meandering waterline as the car continued to advance.

When Qin Tian put the thirty-seventh car cloth for today, his chest and back were already soaked with sweat.

The sticky wet clothes were particularly uncomfortable on his body, and he had to run under a large fan and blow the wind for a while, hoping that the wet clothes would dry quickly.

In the whirring sound of the fan, a stream of hot air rushed towards the face, just like the hot air blown out of the hot air dryer, not only did not make people feel cool, but the sweat came out more urgently.

This is Guangdong in July and August, and even the wind blowing from the fan is hot.

However, in the face of this situation, Qin Tian did not have any surprised expression, he was already accustomed to it.

Working in this dyeing and finishing factory for nearly three years has really made him understand what a "sweatshop" is.

Such factories are generally built in the suburbs of small and medium-sized cities in Guangdong, which are relatively remote and less strictly managed by the government than in large cities, so various welfare policies that benefit employees basically exist in name only.

Generally speaking, employees in this type of factory usually work two shifts, 24 hours a day.

Each class lasts twelve hours, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., with no rest except for forty-five minutes of eating.

Shift is changed every half a month, that is, half a month of day shift and half a month of night shift.

On the day of the shift, the day shift employees had to work a full 16-hour shift from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and then from 11 p.m. to 8 a.m. the next morning.

There are only two days off per month, and the rest of the time will be deducted from the corresponding bonus.

The environment is harsh, the work is hard, there is no insurance, there is no pension, and there is no other welfare that should be packaged.

And even so, the salary is only more than 2,000 yuan or nearly 3,000 yuan.

Around five o'clock in the evening is the time for dinner, Qin Tian followed everyone to line up to eat, today's dishes are fried celery with shredded meat and cabbage in clear water, as for the taste?

Qin Angel took a few bites of rice, fried celery with shredded meat that was barely visible, reluctantly swallowed it, then poured a few sips of boiling water, and then continued to grill the rice.

He had to force himself not to care about what it tasted like and he had to eat enough, because after eating, there were still more than a dozen cartloads of cloth waiting for him to pull!

At about eight o'clock in the evening, Qin Tian dragged his tired body back to his rental house on the edge of the factory, took a cold shower hastily, and then turned on his computer.

At this time, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and until twelve o'clock in the evening, before going to bed, Qin Tian would listen to music and read novels on the Internet, and this time was the most comfortable time of his day.

In the past three years of part-time work, Qin Tian has been repeating this life almost every day.

At six o'clock the next morning, Qin Tian opened his somewhat confused eyes on time, although he had woken up at this time, he did not get up immediately.

It's not that he's lazy because he's resting today, but he's recalling the scene in his dream last night.

It is normal for people to dream when they sleep, but it is very abnormal for a person to keep repeating the same dream from the beginning of his understanding.

In the dream, Qin Tian found that he had become another person, a sword immortal, a sword immortal against the sky.

For more than 20 years, Qin Tian found himself constantly repeating the life of this sword immortal, from his apprenticeship to his sword challenge, and finally to live in seclusion.

In that sword fairy's world, there are all kinds of strange things, there are all kinds of scuffles between human beings, there are also melee between humans and demons, and even melee between demons and barbarians.

In short, that world is full of all kinds of chaos and war, and of course, there are all kinds of surprises and adventures.

And that sword immortal only relied on the fairy sword in his hand, whether it was all kinds of powerhouses among the human race, or the demon saints and holy demons among the demons, and even the barbarian ancestors among the barbarians, they all overturned one by one, and became the person standing at the peak of the era in that world.

In the end, he lived in seclusion in the depths of the southern wilderness, and he managed to survive the catastrophe that had already made all kinds of cultivators and demons change their complexions, shattering the void and reality, and flying away.

Qin Tian usually likes to read novels, if this dream only appeared after he came into contact with novels, then he must think that he has read too many novels, the so-called "thinking about the day and dreaming at night", which is normal.

But yes, however, this dream started when Qin Tian was sensible. At that time, Qin Tiandu didn't know what a novel was, and he didn't know a few characters in Douda, so look at the yarn!

Thinking about the bizarre world in his dreams, and looking at the current era when no matter how high his martial arts are, he is afraid of kitchen knives, and no matter how great his ability is, he is afraid of being bombed, Qin Tian can only obediently accept reality, and the dream is always just a dream.

In today's society, not to mention those demons and monsters, except for some monks and Taoist priests who have been abducted and deceived, even a person who really knows how to practice has never heard of it.

Although the person was completely awake, Qin Tian still didn't want to get up, so he looked at the ceiling flatly, thinking: "It would be great if I could really be like the sword fairy in my dream, fighting the sword to dominate the world, although I know that this is just a dream, but why is it so real! Why?"

Qin Tian couldn't help but greet the eighteenth generation of ancestors of God, of course, if it had an ancestor. Although Qin Tian knew that many people would greet it every day, every time he had this dream, Qin Tian couldn't help but greet him.

Sometimes Qin Tian can't figure out whether his current self is real or the dream himself is real, just like Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly, he can't tell which is the dream and which is the real.

However, it doesn't matter if Qin Tian can't tell it clearly, because his stomach can tell it clearly. When his stomach was growling with hunger, Qin Tian finally came back to his senses, touched his hungry stomach, shook his head, and could only get up helplessly to get something to eat.

Qin Tian rented a room of more than ten square meters, and there was basically nothing in the room except for a bed, a set of computer desks, and a wardrobe.

Living in such a small space, coupled with the factory life of going out early and returning late every day, made him gradually tired of this life. But the reality of the situation left him with no direction and no idea what to do.

Thinking about having to live like this for the rest of his life, Qin Tian couldn't help but feel a chill, followed by a burst of unwillingness.

Who wants to be confined to such a small place and live a cage-like life, who wants to be bound to this state of living for the sake of living, living a numb life day after day, who doesn't want to have a wider sky and live a free life, who doesn't want to break free from all kinds of shackles in life and live a kind of unrestrained and free life that they want.

It's a pity that the dream is plump and the reality is skinny.

Maybe it's the influence of that dream, Qin Tian likes to watch all kinds of martial arts TV since he was a child, and later he is even more obsessed with all kinds of martial arts novels, and now he has upgraded to various online novels.

When he was a child, Qin Tian also dreamed that when he grew up, he would learn martial arts, and then walk the rivers and lakes, be happy to take revenge, rob the rich and help the poor.

But as I grew up and learned more about the real society, my childish dreams were gradually abandoned.

Happiness and revenge, do you think that killing people is not a crime! Robbing the rich and helping the poor is the rhythm of sitting through the prison!

Alas, time is really a pig-killing knife, which not only destroys the chastity and discipline of many people, but also takes away the innocence and dreams of many people, and also extinguishes the blood and passion of many people.

As the saying goes, one thought becomes a demon and one thought becomes a Buddha, sometimes people inadvertently have the potential to change their lives with a flash of inspiration.

When Qin Tian was eating noodles and watching the TV series "Beijing Youth" on the Internet, a bold idea suddenly popped up: Why can't I go through the road of youth again like in the series?

Why can't you fulfill a dream that you didn't fulfill when you were young?

Is it that I am willing to live like this for the rest of my life, busy all day long for three meals a day and not knowing how to live tomorrow, and my whole life is trapped in such a small room, doing nothing for the rest of my life?

Instead of living a mediocre life like now, it is better to do it vigorously, even if you fail, life will not leave too many regrets;

As soon as this thought popped up, Qin Tian was immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself.

The value of life has different understandings for different people, and some people are willing to work hard to save money to buy a house, send their children to study, and their wives and children are hot on the kang, so they live a dull life.

And some people are unwilling to be ordinary, they will fight desperately at every opportunity, this kind of people are destined to be full of all kinds of ups and downs in life, but they are willing to do it, because they are full of genes that are unwilling to be lonely, and Qin Tian is precisely the latter kind of person.

Dreams are dreams, and now there are no dreams in society, so it is impossible to realize the childish martial arts dream of childhood.

But it is still possible to pursue a modern martial arts dream on this basis, after all, it is still possible to learn martial arts in modern society.

It's just that "no matter how high your martial arts are, you're afraid of kitchen knives", now is the era of thermal weapons, no matter how well you learn martial arts, it is difficult to resist guns, so there are not so many people who learn.

Although with the improvement of people's living standards in modern society, the consequent increase in diseases caused by various pollution, people's willingness to strengthen their bodies has increased, and various martial arts halls and gyms have sprung up.

But martial arts have never been able to become the mainstream, and can only linger in the fitness and health industry, and there are not too many people who really learn practical boxing techniques.

Of course, what Qin Tian wants to learn is not the kind of fancy boxing and leg show in the fitness martial arts gym, let alone the "elderly exercises" of the square masters, but the real practical boxing skills.

If you want to learn the real boxing method, you must find someone who really knows how to boxing to teach, after many inquiries and searches on the Internet, Qin Tian finally found out that a Xingyi martial arts hall teaches real kung fu.

However, the fee for this martial arts hall is extremely high, and the fee standard for food and accommodation is 100,000 yuan a year.

An ordinary migrant worker who works hard in a sweatshop to save money may not be able to save 50,000 yuan a year, and this opening will cost 100,000 yuan. This is the rhythm of the Ming robbery!

Don't say it, this is still an ordinary standard, if you want to open a small stove, then you have to honor the coach, and when he is in a good mood, it is possible to give you extra guidance.

If you want to say that there won't be a few fools going to learn from such a black shop, right? I heard that there are not only people but also a lot of people in that martial arts hall, and nearly 100 people go there every year to learn martial arts.

In today's society, don't say it, there are still a lot of rich people, such as the traffic jam on the street now. Do you think that the second generation of officials, the second generation of rich, and the civil servants are all in business? If you really think so, then I can only say that you are really too simple, hehe!

After Qin Tian inquired clearly, he made up his mind, so he immediately went to resign from the workshop supervisor, and returned to his rental house after completing the formalities.

But now there is still one problem that has not been solved, and that is money.

Although Qin Tian didn't usually go out to socialize, he didn't spend too much money, so he saved a little money by himself. But all of them add up to 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, and I can't even afford to pay a year's tuition, how is this good?

After thinking about it, there was only one way, and that was to sell the homestead that his parents in the village had left for him to build a house.

Anyone who has lived in the village knows that after the old house in the village is bulldozed, the government will allow you to rebuild a house of the same size on the same site or elsewhere in the village.

The old house of the Qin Tian family had been demolished a long time ago, but because his brother worked in the county seat, he also bought a four-and-a-half-story building there, and his parents went to take care of their grandson and granddaughter by the way.

So after the second elder and his brother discussed, the homestead in the village was distributed to Qin Tian, so that when he saved enough money to build a house in the village, he could use it for his daughter-in-law in the future.

But there has been no movement for three or four years after graduating from college, and now Qin Tian is still planning to sell it, without the consent of the second elder, there is no door.

Do it when you think of it, this is Qin Tian's advantage.

Some people just lack the courage to act, and they always look ahead and backward when doing things, and the result is often that this can't be done, and that can't be done.

"The emperor in thought and the dwarf in action", this kind of person is difficult to succeed.

Because if you really act, even if you fail ninety-nine times a hundred times, but as long as you succeed once, then you can succeed, but even if you succeed ten thousand times in your mind, as long as you don't act, then everything is just a dream.
