Summer 2018.

On the outskirts of Linjiang City, in a small and dim rental house,

A young man with a thin face was full of embarrassment when he faced the landlord's aunt who came to collect the rent.

"Aunt Chen, at the end of this month, I will definitely rent it to you at the end of this month......"

The landlord's aunt, who was bloated and wearing heavy makeup, frowned and said, "Yang Zheng, I said that you young man, young man, why don't you have any credit at all?" ”

"I'm almost three months in arrears of rent, and every time I say it's at the end of the month, how many trips have I made?"

"If it weren't for the fact that you've been living with me for the past few years, and you're honest, if you were someone else, I would have let them check out a long time ago......"

This time, the landlord and aunt seemed very unhappy.

But Yang Zheng, who knew that he was at a loss, could only keep saying good things, "I'm really sorry for you, I made so many trips in vain, but don't worry, I will give it to you personally when I pay my salary at the end of this month." ”

"If you don't feel at ease, just ride away my Emma electric car now, that car was just bought last year, even if it is depreciated and recycled, it is worth 1,000 yuan."

The words were all said, and the landlord didn't force him, but just said with a black face, "Remember to pay the rent at the end of the month......"

After speaking, she left with a gloomy face, of course, she didn't ask for Yang Zheng's electric car.

Looking at the back of the landlord's aunt, Yang Zheng sighed secretly, and his heart was full of gratitude.

This Aunt Chen is a good person.

She was in arrears for three full months of rent, and she didn't say anything too nasty.

If you change to some landlords who are not good at talking, let alone three months in arrears, or three days in arrears of rent, it is estimated that you will have to evict people.

A few minutes after the landlord left, his Android phone, which had been used for three years and was not stuck like words, suddenly rang.

Yang Zheng picked it up and took a look at it, and found that it was his mother who was far away from his hometown.

Connect the phone.

Soon, the mother's tired and hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Xiao Zheng, your father is in arrears again, and the hospital is still urging us to pay just now, and it is estimated that we will have to prepare at least 10,000 yuan."

Yang Zheng was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Okay, I know, Mom, don't worry, I'll find a way, at most tomorrow morning, I will transfer the money to you......"

After hanging up.

Yang Zheng lay on the bed with a sad face, thinking of his father's illness, and his mood was a little heavy.

My father was diagnosed with cancer bone metastasis three months ago, and he was transferred to the hospital for more than 200,000 yuan in the past few months.

In addition, the subsequent monthly radiotherapy, targeted therapy, and anti-cancer drugs, minus the reimbursement costs, will cost at least tens of thousands.

This is an unbearable burden for an ordinary family.

If it weren't for the family, everyone would hide it from their father and lie to him that it was an early stage cancer that could be easily cured. It is estimated that the old man has long given up treatment.

Although Yang Zheng knew very well in his heart how serious his father's condition was, he never thought of giving up.

My father is just 56 years old this year, and he is a well-known hard-working person in his hometown.

After working hard all my life, I didn't even enjoy a day of happiness, and I got such a terminal illness.

Yang Zheng really wants to do his best to let the old man live longer.

Even if you live for an extra year, an extra month is good.

Today is July 15th, and there are still more than ten days before the end of the month.

He was full of work in the company last month, and with bonuses and various subsidies, it is estimated that he can pay 6,000 yuan.

The landlord was in arrears for three months' rent, water and electricity, almost four hundred per month, for a total of one thousand two.

After deducting these, it is estimated that there are only more than 5,000 left in his hands at the end of the month.

The rest of the money, even if he doesn't use a penny himself, gives it all to his family, and it is estimated that it will not be enough for the family to turnover.

However, that's not even the most important thing.

The top priority was the father's hospitalization expenses.

The hospital has already started to call for payment, and he must get it ready tomorrow morning.

Now, Yang Zheng is covered in a total of less than 200 yuan, which is too far from the 10,000 yuan needed by the hospital.

Money, money, money......

Money is needed everywhere, Yang Zheng feels so stressed that he doesn't know what to do.

It wasn't until this moment that he deeply realized that it was not easy for his father to be the pillar of the family over the years.

He exhaled a few deep breaths and tried to cheer himself up.

Picking up the phone again, he looked through the address book for a long time, but he didn't know who to talk to?

Those relatives in the family have helped their family enough, and they can't always ask them to borrow money, besides, people have to live, and people have their own difficulties.

Why do you want to block people every once in a while? Embarrass your family?

Besides, in the case of Yang Zheng and his family, borrowing money belongs to meat buns and dogs, and it is still unknown whether they will pay it back.

In case you borrow too much, when it is your turn to use it urgently, you will run to ask for the account and you will not be able to get it, and it is easy for the two sides to cause conflicts and even hatred.

Therefore, those relatives and friends will also have a lot of concerns when they lend money to Yang Zheng.

Anyway, in a word, too much money, they won't borrow, and they don't dare to borrow.

When his father was transferred to the hospital for the second time, his mother's brothers and sisters, that is, Yang Zheng's aunt and uncle, the three of them immediately pooled 120,000 yuan for him.

You must know that the three of them actually have relatively average family conditions, but they are the most affectionate.

As for his father's two brothers, that is, Yang Zheng's two uncles, the family conditions are the best, and the family is the richest, so they only lent him 10,000 yuan.

You must know that Yang Zheng's grandfather left early, and his two uncles were basically raised by his father's eldest brother.

As a result, after they got married, they began to dislike and even look down on the poor big brother in the countryside.

What's even more annoying is that the two aunts also said that "people should be sensible, since they have this disease, they must do what they can, don't trouble others for everything, and their family is not a bank ......"

The so-called warmth and coldness of people have been vividly displayed in these months.

Yang Zheng flipped through his mobile phone for a long time, and finally decided to borrow money from his three friends.

These three people have known each other since childhood, and their relationship has always been relatively good.

He had borrowed it from them a few times before, but if it was someone else, Yang Zheng was embarrassed to borrow it a second time.

Soon, as the phone calls of the three people were connected, he borrowed a total of 7,000 yuan.

It's not that these brothers don't want to borrow more, the key is that they really don't.

These guys, although they are all working, are all moonshine clans.

Basically, every month's salary is to play cards, pick up girls, and eat supper.

Especially Chen Xiaobing, who has the best relationship with Yang Zheng, bought a new mobile phone for his girlfriend just before yesterday, and he doesn't have much money in his hand at all.

In order to be able to help Yang Zheng, he even took out the 500 yuan reserve gold of a certain treasure and scraped together 3,000 yuan to transfer it.

To be honest, Yang Zheng was quite moved.

But despite this, he is still 3,000 yuan short of the 10,000 yuan needed for the hospital.

"There are still three thousand left, who will you borrow them? Hey......"

For this 10,000 yuan, Yang Zheng is really anxious.

And that's just the beginning.

It is estimated that there will be a lack of money for subsequent monthly treatment.

Even if it's all done this month, what about next month? What about next month?

It can't go on like this.

You have to find a way to make money.

Otherwise, the treatment will be interrupted, and his father will not last long.

In his current job, although the salary is average, it is better than stability.

Now is the time of lack of money, and he does not dare to change jobs easily.

You have to find some way outside of work, and get some extra money to get money.

Lying on the bed and thinking about it for a long time, Yang Zheng sadly found that he seemed to have no way to think of a reliable way to make money except for working for others.

The more I think about it, the more annoying it becomes, and the more I think about it, the more chaotic it become

Later, he simply didn't bother to think about it, and just closed his eyes and went to sleep.

During these months, he often suffered from insomnia due to his concern about his father's condition.

The mental state of the whole person is not very good.

It just so happens that today is a Sunday off, so I'm too lazy to go to the company cafeteria.

I'll have a good night's sleep today, and I'll figure out the remaining 3,000 yuan at night.

I don't bother to go out during the day, and I have to spend money when I go out.

There is a rice cooker in the rented house, and he went to the supermarket a few days ago to buy some rice and a bottle of mustard.

When you are hungry, cook some porridge and eat it with mustard, which can save one point is one point.

I looked at my phone, and it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

I put my phone on silent, closed the curtains, and the room became dark.

You have to get a good night's sleep and keep your spirits up.

"I'm not particularly difficult, at least there are people to help, like some people are old, some are young, and when their parents are seriously ill, and the children have to study and eat milk powder, that's called despair......"

Yang Zheng comforted himself silently in his heart and fell asleep unconsciously.

In a daze, he felt that a dazzling light suddenly burst out in his rented room.

It's glaring......

He sat up from the bed in an instant.

I saw that in the center of the room, a huge ball of light appeared out of thin air.

The light cluster emitted circles of milky white halos, which were extremely dazzling.

Soon, the dazzling light cluster gradually faded, and a strange "mirror" appeared in front of him.

This mirror, which is two meters high and about one meter wide.

The mirror surface ripples like water.

Such a bizarre scene made Yang Zheng stunned.

"What's going on?"

"Why is there a weird mirror suddenly in my rented apartment?"

Looking at the "mirror" quietly suspended in the room, Yang Zheng was surprised, and his heart was full of doubts.

He took a few deep breaths and cautiously walked towards the "mirror", wanting to take a closer look at it and see what it was.

Standing in front of the mirror, Yang Zheng tentatively stretched out his hand and gently touched the rippling mirror.

Suddenly, a powerful suction force sucked his entire arm into the mirror.

Yang Zheng secretly screamed that it was not good, and was about to pull out his arm, but found that it was too late.

Because his whole person has been pulled into the mirror by a mysterious force.

In the panic, he felt that his eyes were black, and his brain fell into a brief blank.

Open your eyes again.

Yang Zheng found himself standing on a hillside, the wind whistling in his ears.

Overhead, the sun hung high and surrounded by low, undulating hills.

When I turned around, the mysterious mirror was so quietly suspended on the ground, and within the mirror, there were ripples one after another.

At this moment, Yang Zheng finally understood what was going on.

This strange mirror should be a space-time portal, through which you can enter another world.

I just don't know, what is the world in front of me?

With a full stomach full of questions, Yang Zheng observed curiously everywhere.

Soon, he realized that something was wrong.

The trees around the hillside were only half a man tall.

Especially the pine tree closest to him, it looked so small that the treetops were knee-high.

The weeds, bushes, and colorful wildflowers on the ground are even more low and small.

On top of the wild flowers, which are only the size of mung beans, swarms of bees and butterflies that are difficult to detect with the naked eye are flying everywhere.

The gray hares are no bigger than their fingers. They have long ears and crouch in the grass, their eyes full of wariness.

In the sky more than ten meters high, several eagles the size of autumn cicadas are hovering in the air. It looks like it's the idea of fighting those hares.

Not far away, at the foot of the hillside, a group of wild boars the size of frogs, frightened, were fleeing at high speed......

Looking at the surrounding mountains and mountains less than 100 meters high, the towering trees more than half a person high, and the "river" at the foot of the mountain that is less than two meters wide.

Yang Zheng's mouth was so big that he was amazed.

It's clear that this is a mini-world that has been shrunk.

The wild resources of this world are simply too abundant.

If it is a normal world, then Yang Zheng is developed.

Like those hares, but also wild boars, all kinds of pheasants and pheasants, and so on.

On the earth now, mountain delicacies such as hares and pheasants are becoming more and more scarce, and the price is getting higher and higher.

If everything here is a normal size, then he can make a lot of money by hunting.

Unfortunately, this is a mini-world, and the contents are simply too small to be of much value.

Thinking of this, Yang Zheng's heart was full of regret.

"Assert ......"

Suddenly, Yang Zheng heard a sharp laugh from under his feet.

Looking down, in an instant, his pupils involuntarily contracted.

I saw a black-robed villain standing on the ground, only a dozen centimeters tall, dancing excitedly, looking very crazy.

"Giants! Giants of the Pangea clan! ”

"It turns out that what is recorded in the ancient books is true! As long as you open the gate of the Xuan Realm, you can summon the Giant Clan......"
