In Mingyang City in July, the scorching sun scorched the earth mercilessly.

Walking on the road, you can't feel a trace of cool breeze.

In hot and humid weather, people feel like they are in a sauna.

On weekends, there are few pedestrians in sight on the bustling streets that should be bustling with traffic.

Li Xiaofeng, who was riding an electric car and driving on the road, had to stop and wipe the sweat that kept flowing down his face.

In the mobile phone, there is a prompt sound from time to time that the food delivery is about to time out, which makes people feel a little dry.

According to the popular saying now, Li Xiaofeng is a new Mingyang person who works hard in Mingyang.

After finishing college, Li Xiaofeng stayed in Mingyang with his girlfriend.

Last year, relying on his 6 or 7 years of hard work and the help of his parents, he took out a loan to buy a small house of more than 70 square meters in Mingyang, a new first-tier city.

It is said that it is more than 70 square meters, but in fact, it is about 60 square meters when I go to the public stall.

I was very happy when I bought the house.

But the bank loan of more than 1 million and the monthly mortgage of more than 6,000 are like a whip, whipping him to keep moving forward, so that he does not dare to stop and rest for a moment.

No, today was supposed to be Sunday, but he didn't dare to rest at home, but used this time to run takeaways part-time to earn some extra money.

Thinking of his girlfriend who was in a cold war with him recently, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel a headache.

His girlfriend Liu Yun and he are classmates in the same university, the same class, the same college, but different majors.

The two met during a big class. Since they are fellow villagers in the same province and have similar hobbies, they quickly became familiar with each other.

And the two have officially fallen in love since their sophomore year. After graduation, they stayed in Mingyang together.

In the current college love that broke up after graduation, the two of them can persist until now, and the two of them don't know how many classmates in the class are envious.

But like a person drinking water, he knows his own warmth and coldness! The two have also started to have conflicts recently.

After getting along for so many years, Li Xiaofeng and Liu Yun have already reached the point of talking about marriage.

But because Liu Yun has always insisted that they must have a house in Mingyang, the two of them can get married.

So the two have never been married.

Without a house, in a strange city, people are like duckweed without roots, which Li Xiaofeng can understand.

So he has been working hard all these years, and in his spare time, he also goes out to deliver takeaways, works as a substitute driver, and does odd jobs, just to make up enough for the down payment on the house one day earlier.

It wasn't until last year that I finally managed to make enough down payment and mortgage a two-bedroom house of more than 70 square meters in a remote community in Mingyang.

I was happy when I bought the house, but after I bought it, the pressure of life was even greater!

The food, clothing, and expenses of the two people, plus the mortgage, and the need to save money to prepare for marriage, these financial pressures made him fall into deep anxiety.

He can only spend more time at work and part-time. For this, Liu Yun complained in front of him that he didn't have time to accompany her.

Not long ago, the two of them were still in a cold war because of a few quarrels.

In fact, he also knows that not having time to accompany her is just an excuse, and the biggest disagreement between his girlfriend and him now is that he does not agree to the bride price of more than 300,000 yuan.

Li Xiaofeng's parents are just ordinary fishermen on the seaside of Dongjiang Province.

The two of them worked diligently all their lives, and they did their best to provide for the three of them to finish college.

I don't have any savings at home! When he bought a house, his family scraped together 150,000 yuan to support him.

Li Xiaofeng knew that many of them were borrowed by his parents.

Now small fishermen like his parents don't make much money at all.

Their small fishing boat can only catch fish in the offshore waters.

And now that the offshore waters have long been over-fished, where can you catch as many fish, and sometimes the fish caught at sea is not enough for oil money!

At present, in order to protect coastal fishery resources, the state has set a fishing ban period of several months every year.

During the fishing ban period, he couldn't catch fish, his father Li Yonglin, who was in his 50s, had to go to the fishing raft where abalone was raised to do odd jobs for others, and his mother Liu Xuexia could only rely on catching the sea to earn some money on oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

In his 50s, he is already the age of retirement in the city. But in the countryside, they still have to work for their children.

Maybe one day, they really can't do it anymore!

He is not the only boy in their family, and there is a younger brother who is two years younger than him, who now works in their provincial capital, and is not married or has bought a house.

Buying a house has already spent all his savings! The bride price money, the girlfriend meant, let him open his mouth to his parents again.

But in this case, how can he open up to his parents again?

Because of this, the two have been in a cold war for half a month.

Glancing at the navigation map on his mobile phone, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but speed up the battery car.

Bang!

With a huge impact, Li Xiaofeng felt as if his whole body was flying, and then he fell heavily to the ground.

A sharp pain struck, and his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness instantly.

Blood, pouring out of the helmet, to the neck, and to a metal amulet hanging from the neck.

The amulet seemed to flicker......

(This amulet was found in the belly of a fish when Li Xiaofeng went fishing with his father when he was a child.) It is said to be an amulet, but it is actually a small round piece of silvery-white metal, with an unknown plant carved in the middle of the metal. ）

By the time Li Xiaofeng woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day.

Lying in a hospital bed with a splitting headache!

The diagnosis given by the hospital was: a blow to the head, abrasions on the forehead, a moderate concussion, and a fracture of the right leg.

Due to the monitoring at the intersection where the accident occurred, the novice female driver who caused the accident was fully responsible for the accelerator when the brake was pressed and the red light was violated! There is no dispute between the two sides of the traffic police's judgment.

The driver has full insurance, and he has never shown up, and he has been handed over to the insurance company for processing.

I asked the doctor in private, and when Li Xiaofeng heard that he had to lie in bed for at least three months before he could get off the ground and go to work normally after half a year, he knew that he was in trouble.

Sure enough, that afternoon, the company's HR came to see him on behalf of the company.

And inform him that due to violating the company's rules, he is working part-time outside the company, and it has caused a bad impact on the company! The company will demote him from a supervisor to an ordinary employee, and after the contract expires, he will not renew the contract.

Listening to HR's words, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel a chill.

He has been with this company for almost 7 years now! I joined the company when I first graduated, and the company was still a start-up at that time.

He has been conscientious in the company, and his KPIs are among the best every year, and he has also been promoted from an ordinary employee to a supervisor.

During this period, many outside companies came to poach him, but he was not moved.

Because he really believes that the boss treats them as friends, and also believes that the difficulties that the boss said are temporary, and when the company goes public, they will all achieve financial freedom.

Thinking that the boss patted him on the shoulder not long ago, saying that they were all family.

Now it's HR who comes over and informs him that he won't renew his contract!

At this time, he understood why others said that workers should never take the boss's promise seriously.

Not long after HR left, Li Xiaofeng's girlfriend Liu Yun walked in (notified by the traffic police phone) and brought him dinner.

Li Xiaofeng always felt that Liu Yun's face seemed to be a little wrong, but he didn't know that something was wrong.

In the evening, Li Xiaofeng was chatting with his sister Li Xiaomei on WeChat.

In order to prevent his parents from worrying, he did not dare to tell his family the news of his injury.

With a buzz, his phone prompted him to receive a text message.

Click on it and see that it was sent by my girlfriend Liu Yun: Xiaofeng, I know you are very good to me, but after this period of calm thinking, I think the two of us are still not suitable for marriage.

Marriage is not about falling in love, it's just a matter of the two of us, and marriage is a matter of two families.

You and I are both from the countryside, and our family conditions are not good.

You have been reluctant to ask your family for the 300,000 bride price! But now my family needs 300,000 yuan to buy a house for my brother in the county seat, and then get married.

My parents raised me with hard work, and my younger brother also left school very early to work for me to study.

I really can't say no to my parents' request!

There is no way to reconcile this contradiction.

So let's break up.

I also hope that you can find a better girlfriend in the future.

Good bye!

After reading the message, a mixture of sadness, loss, collapse, and anger welled up in my heart.

It's like losing what supports you in your life, and losing your hard persistence.

Tears flowed involuntarily.

The collapse of adults is often in this instant.

The past is empty last night's wind, and the candle is like a dream.

Tears slipped down and woke up, infatuation has a beginning but no end!

I tossed and turned in bed for a long time at night before I fell asleep in a daze.

Li Xiaofeng had a long dream, he dreamed of the ups and downs of the life of a warrior of the Muria civilization.

The Muria civilization is an ancient civilization born on Earth in the Third Solar Period.

This civilization is highly biologically developed and is also known as a bioenergetic civilization.

They can already fundamentally modify the genes of living beings, and they can add the genes of some strong people and other life beings to their own genes.

So the Muria civilization gave birth to many brave warriors.

They lived happily on Earth until one day, the Muria civilization was suddenly attacked by the civilization called Atlantis from the constellation Orion in the Sirius galaxy.

The Atlantean civilization was a civilization that had a deep understanding of light.

Therefore, their starships and personal armor have strong stealth capabilities, and the detection system of the Muria people cannot detect them at all, so in the early stage of the war, the Muria civilization was hit hard.

It wasn't until one day that the scientists of the Muria people used a rare metal found in the meteorite, combined with the biotechnology of the Muriah people, to create a new life detector, which can also provide strong protection, and the situation on the battlefield improved.

The detector was made in the shape of an amulet, which could be worn around the neck or embedded in their biological armor.

Unfortunately, due to the heavy losses in the early stage, the Muria civilization was finally wiped out by the Atlantean civilization.

This Muria warrior is already the last strong man in Muria.

After being seriously wounded, he kept some important information about the Muria people in his amulet.

Only pure intelligent life on earth can be opened through genes.

The amulet is not only an advanced life detector, but also provides powerful protection and is also a key to unlocking the ruins of the Murias.

Eventually, the amulet sank to the bottom of the sea, along with the Muria warrior.

I don't know how many years I slept at the bottom of the sea, until one day I was swallowed by a fish, and I didn't leave the dark bottom of the sea.

Later, this hairtail fish was caught by a pair of fishermen father and son, it was Li Xiaofeng and his father!

It wasn't until Li Xiaofeng encountered a car accident that the life detector was activated and bound to him.

Suddenly, Li Xiaofeng woke up from his sleep sweating profusely, touched the talisman on his chest, and couldn't calm down for a long time.
