Chapter 319: But that was a hundred years ago
The elevator stopped on the fourth floor, and Li Shuhong stood at the door of the house but didn't have the courage to insert the key in.
How do you say that?
Said that the blind date failed again?
At that time, the boss's eyes were very strange when he went through the resignation procedures, but Li Shuhong could understand it.
After all, this is the third employee to leave the company in a month.
Before him, the company's game planner and concept artist all left.
But he can also understand that the two buddies heard that they both went back to their hometown to get married.
Tsk, it's very unpleasant to think about it like this, dare to love him a single dog?
Yes, he still thinks it's a fantasy, but so what?
Computers, the Internet, television, high-speed trains, airplanes, everything is so real.
Even after returning home, the old road that was not repaired has been repaired.
And when he got home, he was quite excited, but his parents didn't react...... Even when he burst into tears at that moment, he still felt that he was too bitter outside by himself.
When my father was eating, he said that he couldn't endure hardship, so he grabbed him and sprayed him.
Yes...... It is familiar taste.
Then he went on a blind date four times in a month on and off.
But every time he refused, there were quite suitable girls in it, and he had no reason to refuse.
But he still refused.
Why refuse?
He didn't know, but now he does.
That's right, that world is dangerous.
He could die at any moment, there was no internet, no air conditioning, no fruit that could be bought at the supermarket, no toilet paper, and a lot of things that were not available.
But over there, he is not short of money, and there are still those people, and there are strong martial arts.
He doesn't have to worry about being laid off, he doesn't have to worry about working overtime, he doesn't have to worry about the manager scolding you and having to lose a smile, he doesn't have to worry about soaring prices, he doesn't have to worry about fruit being too expensive to eat, he doesn't have to worry about buying a house and a car.
It's ridiculous to say that he dreamed of coming back over there, but when he came back, he missed it again.
Now Li Shuhong has understood, in fact...... He couldn't bear to go over there.
So when he came back today, he wanted to say goodbye to his parents.
Although very selfish......
He also admits that he is a selfish person, or that almost everyone in this world is selfish, and those who are not selfish are generally called great men.
Why the Great Guys?
Because there are too few.
Li Shuhong admits that he is a selfish person, so he wants to live selfishly.
He wants to escape from this world of family and friends, but it is extremely oppressive.
Why do you want to watch the crossing?
Now he understood.
Slowly exhaling turbidity, he opened the door and walked inside.
Dad was sitting on the sofa watching a blind date show, scolding "this guest is a fool" while watching, and he still had a cigarette burning in his hand.
Mom was stir-frying in the kitchen, and the sound of the range hood rumbled.
Li Shuhong didn't speak, and he didn't move until it was time to eat.
Seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks, his mother asked, "What's wrong?" β
Li Shuhong raised his head, "I said that you two didn't ask me about the results of the blind date?" β
"It must have been unsuccessful, otherwise you would have called me a long time ago." Mom said it for granted.
Now my father was not satisfied.
He put down his chopsticks and began to lecture, "Sometimes don't have too high a vision, what's the use of finding a female star as beautiful?" If you can't control others, you have to find an ordinary, preferably one who likes you, so that you can live a happy life.
"Look at your cousin, his daughter-in-law was not satisfied with your grandmother, uncle and aunt at the beginning, but what is the result now? When your brother comes back from work, the food is brought to his mouth, and your brother plays games. Isn't it good for people to live? β
Li Shuhong still didn't speak, he just looked at his parents quietly, his eyes were a little hot.
Dad has been in the Mediterranean for a long time, and now he has been shaved bald, but the stubble has grown a little, and it is basically all white.
yes, my dad will be sixty soon.
Mom also has dark spots on her face, if she is not there......
Seeing tears flashing in Li Shuhong's eyes, his father stopped talking, just eating sullenly.
The mother pushed the father, "Look at what you said, our son's conditions are not bad, if you miss it, you will wait for the next one." β
Then she sandwiched a piece of braised pork ribs for Li Shuhong, "Let's eat first." β
Li Shuhong didn't move his chopsticks.
He didn't dare.
He was afraid that if he picked up the ribs...... The determination that had already been made will be shaken again.
Seeing that Li Shuhong was not in the right state, his father put down his chopsticks and was still silent, and he touched his mother with his elbow.
"What's wrong?" Mom asked.
"Actually, I have someone I like." Li Shuhong finally said it.
And there is more than one.
"Then why don't you bring it back and see it? Do you have a photo? What does she do at home? Mom immediately asked.
"I ...... But they're far away, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a long time if I go there. β
"People abroad?"
"Almost."
Li Shuhong still didn't say dead.
"Then go, you still have a long life in the future, just come back and see it once in a while." Mom was happy, "Originally, I told your father that I would save up money to make a down payment for you, and people don't want a marriage room over there, right?" Where do you live? β
"If you have a house, you don't have a loan."
"Then go, next year your dad retires, and I will go out on a trip with your dad without any trouble." Mom began to plan, "I don't have to cook for you at home, but you have to come back after you have a baby, isn't it, what about getting married?" On which side is the knot? What do your parents think? β
"It's okay, it's just ......" Li Shuhong exhaled, "I may not be able to come back." β
Mom opened her mouth and didn't speak again, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point for a while.
After a while, my father said in a deep voice, "Go ahead." β
"......"
"Go ahead."
Dad pressed the mother who wanted to say something, and said calmly: "You are almost thirty, there is nothing that I don't need to make a decision with your mother, the two of us can live well, let's go." β
Li Shuhong's body suddenly appeared with light.
His body was becoming more transparent.
He suddenly panicked, stood up suddenly, and wanted to catch his parents, "I'm not going!" I'm not going! β
His hand clawed into the air.
Then he hurriedly tried to grab the chopsticks to clip the ribs, but the chopsticks were still empty.
"Almost thirty years old! Mother-in-law what! Dad waved his hand, "Leave us alone!" Live your life on your own! β
Mom finally cried, "Shuhong! Is that girl good to you? β
"Good!"
"Isn't it a habit of eating?"
"Get used to it!"
"Rememberβ"
The voice stopped abruptly, and Li Shuhong disappeared.
............
"Dad!! Mother!!! β
When he opened his eyes, Li Shuhong found that he was greeted by an unfamiliar scene.
People dressed in ancient costumes came and went in the square, and he stood there, a middle-aged man with a goatee in front of him, stunned by his roar.
Li Shuhong was stunned and looked down at himself.
It catches the eye in a green shirt.
Gently clenched into a fist, the familiar and unfamiliar strong power is transmitted from the fist to the heart.
He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, so he looked up and pulled a smile at the middle-aged man, "This... Seniors, dare to ask if this place is a big week? β
The middle-aged man eased up at this time, and couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "Your future life is also interesting, I was startled, but now I am confused, I'm afraid I didn't eat too much wine last night?" If this place is not Da Zhou, where can it be? β
β......β
Li Shuhong was a little disappointed in his heart, but then he was a little happy.
It's really back......
His mind suddenly came alive.
He was desperate to see them now.
It may have only been a short time since they were separated from them, but it has been a month since they were outside.
Not to mention, it is easy for people to recall the past when they are idle.
So he gave up his hand again, "Dare to ask the seniors, is it now the eleventh year of peace?" β
The seventh year of Taiping was the year he crossed into this world.
He had to make sure it was.
If time in this world hadn't gone much since he left, it would have been the eleventh year of peace.
Hearing Li Shuhong's question, the middle-aged man was obviously stunned for a moment.
"You wait for the next generation, let the old man calculate."
He closed his eyes and said something in his mouth.
"The year the old man married his wife...... It is now the seventh year of Ninghe...... So it should be ......"
After a while, he opened his eyes and smiled: "Housheng really ate too much wine last night, right?" Now it is the seventh year of Ninghe, and as for the eleventh year of Taiping you mentioned......
"That was a hundred years ago."
The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and pointed behind Li Shuhong, "The old man has never experienced it, but I heard from the elders in the family that the first emperor succeeded to the throne at that time was the only empress of my Great Zhou, but unfortunately the first emperor never married, and then the throne was passed to a distant nephew." You see, these two statues are said to have been built in the year when the female emperor ascended the throne and the year of Bintian, and there were city guards here when the old man was a child, but I don't know who the man's statue is, so that the emperor will never forget it for decades. β
Li Shuhong turned around in astonishment.
What caught his eye were two stone statues that were supposed to be ten feet high.
It should be a man and a woman.
It's just that the original lifelike faces of the two stone statues have long been erased by the mottled years.
I can't see it clearly anymore.
