Chapter 1 [Haunted]

Zhou Zhihai leaned on the wide computer chair, staring at the ceiling with his head tilted, holding a cigarette in his hand, his eyes were confused, and his expression was obscene.

The ceiling is nothing to look at, a dim incandescent lamp, there are messy cobwebs hanging from the lamp and the four corners, and there are some black insects and moths hanging on it, the room is not big, there is a single bed of one meter two, only a crude computer desk and a wide computer chair are left.

The computer chair he is sitting in now is the most 'luxurious' looking piece of furniture in the room, he just bought it when he moved in, and the original one is no longer able to sit on.

The computer is an old desktop, assembled by itself, used for four years, and was fairly well configured at the time, but at present, some slightly larger games can't be played, and the card makes people panic, and the bed is messy with a quilt, and a few clothes are thrown at the end of the bed, and there are two books next to the pillow.

It's clear that this is a room for a single dog.

Staring at the ceiling, it's because Zhou Zhihai is bored, boring means that he has nothing to do now, of course, he can play with the computer, read books or something, but he has been playing for more than half a month, and he has been reading for more than half a month, no matter how much he likes it, he is tired of it, more than half a month ago, after he left the company, he moved into this rental house at the same time, and he almost never went out except for going out to eat and buy daily necessities.

Zhou Zhihai was stunned for a moment, felt a burst of heat in his fingers, and the smoke had burned to the end, hurriedly threw the cigarette on the ground, rubbed his fingers that were almost burned, sat up straight, lazily reached out and shook the mouse, woke up the computer that had screensaver, opened a web page casually, and then logged in to a local talent exchange center to take a look, his resume had several downloads, but there was no reply.

In the past two years, the construction industry is not very sluggish, so it is not easy to find a job, Zhou Zhihai was very good when he first stepped into this industry, in this place, in this industry, there is even an exaggerated saying that it is 'an industry that creates miracles'.

The starting point of this industry is not high, in the five years of Zhou Zhihai's employment, I have seen a lot of people who originally had little money and no culture, because of an opportunity to rise rapidly, and quickly became a rich family, some of these people only have primary school culture, and some originally had to think about where the next meal was......

It's false to say that he is not envious, he has a car and a house, he has a wife and children to start his life, for Zhou Zhihai at present, nothing has been achieved, sometimes he thinks, why?

Others smoke good cigarettes and drink good wine in and out of high-end places, hugging Xiaosan and playing a huge amount of mahjong, while he can only curl up in a rough rental house for three meals a day and worry about tomorrow's work, and in a certain period of time, Zhou Zhihai and these people are actually on the same starting line or even far higher than their starting point.

For Zhou Zhihai, he has more opportunities than those people, but he didn't seize them - he has a fairly stable job, once people are stable, they will be inert, and they will be afraid of risks, and those people, as I said just now, don't know where they are after eating the last meal, so they have no choice, and they can only go one way to the dark.

This may be one of the reasons, but it is by no means all the reasons, Zhou Zhihai knows that people who can succeed have more or less their own certain strengths, such as hardship, such as communication, such as vision, and in fact, in Zhou Zhihai's eyes, all that can be seen are these successful people, and more failed people have disappeared silently......

sighed for a while, Zhou Zhihai closed the web page, opened a game, and played carelessly for a while, always unable to concentrate, so he retreated and walked out of the door.

He rented a suite, only one bedroom, the door of the bedroom is a narrow passage, barely used as a living room, a landlord's dilapidated bamboo chair, there is a kitchen and a bathroom next to the corridor, the rent of 800 yuan is not too expensive for such a house.

The small Xiaoice box in the kitchen, which is more than one meter high, was bought by Zhou Zhihai on the National Day of the previous year, nine hundred and ninety-nine yuan, although small, but also practical, can save some dishes, and most importantly, used to freeze beer, walked over and pulled it away, took out a can of beer, Zhou Zhihai rummaged in it, found a bag of squeezed vegetables and returned to the room.

Sitting back in front of the computer, I opened the beer, took a sip, just opened the mustard and ate a few bites, and accidentally saw a message flashed a message from QQ, which had been hanging for a long time but no one had spoken, and clicked on it to see: You have a drifting bottle!

"What kind of garbage drifting bottle?" Zhou Zhihai muttered, clicked on it casually, the network speed was a little slow, opened it little by little, and after clicking on it, it said: Another bottle!

Zhou Zhihai couldn't help laughing, pulled open the keyboard, and replied: When will you claim the prize?

When Zhou Zhihai went to work, he often accumulated a lot of drifting bottles, and he didn't have time to look at them......

This drifting bottle is anonymous, so I don't know whether it's male or female, I waited for a while, but I didn't answer, Zhou Zhihai was bored and started to fish for the bottle, the first one was a crab, and the second time it was opened, it was a question: one sentence means that you are bored now.

Zhou Zhihai thought for a while, counted it, and replied: Your sentence has a total of sixty-eight strokes.

Then the other person replied: Oh!

Then there was no then, Zhou Zhihai continued to fish, replied to a few boring questions, and began to throw the bottle, someone answered, but said a few words, often the last sentence 'oh' or 'yes' is over, of course, there are also those who have no news after throwing it out, polishing the bottle, Zhou Zhihai stood up, ready to go to the kitchen to get another bottle of beer, suddenly flashed, someone replied, clicked to see, but it was the first anonymous bottle to reply: "Tell me your wish!"

There are many wishes, such as now, drinking beer, if there are a few delicious ducks at the feet, how beautiful would it be?

However, Juewei is a bit expensive, and in the current situation, it is necessary to support the limited money for the longest time, so I haven't eaten that thing for a while - although there are many media reports that this thing is not very hygienic, but as a foodie, Zhou Zhihai tastes very much to his appetite, as long as he doesn't eat it often.

At the moment, he replied casually: It would be nice to have a few ducks to drink now. Then I went to the kitchen, took another can of beer, took a few steps, thought about it, and went back and took one more can, which was supposed to be two cans a day, but it was a little too hot tonight, so I would advance one can in advance for tomorrow.

As soon as I returned to the room, the phone rang, and when I connected it, I heard Soma's voice shouting: "Dayu, where is it? Hurry up and come to the square to drink, Lao Tzu rarely comes back once, and the wine is on the ......" After speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Zhou Zhihai to answer.

Soma's surname is Wei, called Wei Wenxue, is Zhou Zhihai's junior high school and high school classmates, because he is black and thin, he was known as 'from African Somalia' in high school, so he has a nickname called Soma, and Zhou Zhihai because of his name, nicknamed 'Dayu', Nima can govern the sea, let alone control the water?

Soma became a teacher in a county about three hours away from K City, it is summer vacation time, it should be back from vacation, the relationship between the two has been very good since junior high school, and it is good enough to wear a pair of pants after leaving the society, if someone else asks Zhou Zhihai to go out today, maybe he may not go, not only because the time is a little late, but also because of the purse, and the mood, but for Somala, there is no such problem between the two.

In this hot summer night, after receiving a call from Soma, the depression of many days seems to have been alleviated a lot, not that Zhou Zhihai likes to be invited to drink, but more importantly, there is a friend who can talk together, bragging and venting the accumulation in his heart is a thing that can make people feel comfortable, of course, in such a hot summer, to drink in the cool square, brag, and look at the beauties dressed in cool clothes around him, it is a very enjoyable thing for the young people in the city, and Zhou Zhihai is no exception.

Changed into a shorts vest, Zhou Zhihai glanced at the beer on the computer table, reached out and took it, since he went out to drink, this beer was saved, put it in the refrigerator, and it could be drunk tomorrow, grabbed the mouse again, and was about to turn off the computer and go out, at a glance, he saw that the anonymous drifting bottle just now had answered, and it said: As you wish!

Zhou Zhihai didn't have time to play this boring game now, closed the computer, grabbed two bottles of beer and walked out, changed a pair of sandals at the kitchen door, then opened the refrigerator door, put the beer in, and was about to close the refrigerator door, when he suddenly froze, and something seemed to be wrong......

Next to the beer in the refrigerator, there is a red paper pocket, which is the iconic pocket of the delicious duck neck that Zhou Zhihai is familiar with and is talking about just now.

He scratched his head, a little confused, and muttered: "I haven't bought it for a long time, is it because I'm drunk?" But I didn't drink much today, just a can of ......" reached out and opened the bag, which contained a few duck feet and a duck neck, bright colors, looking very nice and fresh.

In his chaotic thinking at the moment, he can be sure of one thing, since he resigned until now, he has bought a delicious duck neck, and it was more than a week ago, and he ate it cleanly that night, and just now, he was still muttering, what a beautiful thing it would be if there were a few duck necks and duck feet to drink, where did this bag come from?

What the hell is going on with this Nima? Zhou Zhihai muttered, his head looking around, and then quickly turned on all the lights in the room and searched everywhere.

He grabbed the phone, dialed Soma's number with trembling hands, and then opened the door with a look, and ran out with a smoke, and as soon as it was connected, he hissed and shouted, "Haunted......"
