1 The last legacy

Next Chapter

In the 200th year of the new calendar, Wang Liang was spicy

Shi Que and the lawyer were holding a bowl of sesame sauce noodles and squatting at the small table at the entrance of the store. In the winter, the weather gets colder and colder, and the business of the small shop is getting better and better.

Shi Que quickly finished eating the noodles, put down his chopsticks and looked at the pedestrians rushing outside the store. A cool breeze blew, blowing the corners of the sparrow's clothes, and the atmosphere became more and more gloomy.

Lawyer: "Shi Que, we've known each other for six years. ”

Shi Que let out an "um".

Lawyer: "How have you been working lately?" Haven't your directors urged you to become a regular yet? I remember you were notified of your regularization since last year. ”

Shi Que simply didn't answer.

The lawyer sighed, "Hey, forget it, you have to make up your own mind." But you should know that today is the last time I'll come to you. ”

Seeing that Shi Que turned to his face, the lawyer tried to say more tactfully, "This is also the last inheritance your brother left you." ”

Shi Que frowned, his light brown eyes were dyed with melancholy, and his clean and beautiful face made people feel unbearable.

The lawyer sighed.

He is a friend of Shi Que's older brother, Shi Falcon. When Shi Que was three years old, their parents died. For the next fifteen years, the two brothers depended on each other. For Shi Que, Shi Falcon is also a brother and a father, and he worked hard to raise him.

The lawyer is a good friend of Shi Falcon, and he didn't have much contact with Shi Que originally.

Until Shi Que was eighteen years old, Shi Falcon died unexpectedly, but he received a will from Shi Falcon just before Shi Falcon's death. It's just puzzling that Shi Falcon obviously chose to leave all the inheritance to Shi Que, but he just divided it six times for Shi Que to receive it.

From the age of eighteen to twenty-four, six years, once a year, a fixed time, it is like the last love and gift left by the elder brother who is worried about his younger brother.

The lawyer put the documents in his hand in front of Shi Que, "Sign it, and I'll take you to go through the formalities." Twenty-four-year-old Sparrow can be independent, right? ”

Shi Que lowered his head and was silent, and he didn't even reach out to take the document handed over by the lawyer.

The lawyer didn't urge, but slowly persuaded Shi Que, "Don't feel bad, although the inheritance is the last inheritance, your brother's love for you will not disappear." ”

He understands that the word independence is like a nightmare for Shi Que. Because back then, the last thing Shi Falcon said to Shi Que before going out was, "Brother wants to go out to do something, and the eighteen-year-old Bird can be independent, right?" ”

Shi Que said, "Okay." Then the falcon never came back.

The official conclusion was that he died unexpectedly in a natural disaster, and there was not even a complete body.

The two looked at each other for a long time, but Shi Que didn't move. In the end, the lawyer forcibly handed the document in his hand to Shi Que, "Look at it! ”

Shi Que flipped it open, and then he was stunned.

Cars and property?

"Could this have been left by the Falcon?" The calm expression on Shi Que's face finally showed a crack.

The lawyer smiled very cheerfully, "Shi Falcon said, what others have, my brother also has it!" Cars, houses, and beautiful women, you can have them all in one day. ”

"Donate it! I don't want to. Shi Que was very resistant.

The lawyer said bitterly: "How can you not want it? This is the love of the Falcon for you! ”

Shi Que sneered, "Really? ”

"At the age of eighteen, you told me that you can't go to college without tuition, so Shi Falcon prepared a sum of money for me in the bank in advance. A month after the start of the university, I received a debt collection record from the bank for the tuition fee, which was a small financial loan borrowed by Shi Falcon in my name. ”

"Nineteen years old, you gave me a list, saying that Shi Falcon knew that I worked hard every day to repay the loan, so he prepared a few people for me in advance who could help me. As a result, when I called and asked, Quan Temo was the account manager of Shuidi Chip. ”

"At the age of twenty, I graduated from college for an internship, and you said that Shi Falcon prepared a new communication tool for me, and when I opened it, I saw that the good boy smart phone watch ten years ago was still on a blue screen."

"After graduating from college at the age of twenty-two, you told me that Shi Falcon has prepared a perfect job for me, the work is light and easy to use, and I will get a iron rice bowl when I go, or the family hereditary system. I went. As a result, I went to the Institute of History and Folklore, the most popular unit in the country, as an intern. Once hired, no resignation is allowed. The building where the unit is located is quite spacious, but the office is semi-underground. Every now and then, I go home and rest. ”

"Isn't that good?" The lawyer began to feel weak.

"Yes! It's good, I'm going home and resting today, do you know why? ”

"Why?"

Shi Que was heartbroken: "Because our two semi-underground offices are shared cheaply with other people's lover agencies, and now in winter, the employees of Loverhome have to carry out hand-to-hand training once a week in the semi-underground, and we are working from home again!" ”

"You say, if it were you, do you still want this?"

The lawyer was speechless, silent for a long time, still ignorant of his conscience, "This time it must be true!" ”

Shi Que made a straight face, "Then I will believe it if you pay for the noodles." ”

The lawyer secretly glanced at the balance of the bank card, gritted his teeth and paid a huge sum of twenty-four yuan. Shi Que reluctantly signed the document and went through the formalities with him.

Half an hour later, Shi Que looked at a small half-used battery pushed out by the lawyer with an expressionless face.

"The car." The lawyer was concise and to the point.

After another hour, Shi Que rode a small battery and took the lawyer into an old community, and under the guidance of the lawyer, they parked the car next to the most dilapidated building in the community. The lawyer took Shi Que up to the second floor.

The corridor was full of dust, and with every step, you could see a clear shoe print on the ground. What I know is that this community is in disrepair, and I don't know, I thought it was a relic attraction left after the catastrophe of the old calendar!

It is said that in the year 3022 of the old calendar, mankind experienced an unprecedented disaster. Inexplicable natural disasters and diseases have caused hundreds of millions of human deaths. When everything calmed down, the total population of the planet was reduced to only one percent. With the exception of a few large countries like Huaguo, which were barely able to keep afloat, many smaller states perished as early as the middle of the disaster and became no man's land.

It is now the 200th year of the new calendar, and the population has grown enough after 200 years of recuperation, and the technology and economy have gradually recovered and even surpassed the "pre-reconstruction" level, so it is rare to see such an old house now. It's more about high-tech high-rise buildings.

Looking at the crumbling iron door in front of him, Shi Que asked the lawyer expressionlessly: "Fang? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The lawyer pulled out a rusty key and handed it to Shi Que.

Shi Que took the key and struggled to open the door, after the door opened, he was greeted by a large poster of the time falcon, on which the time falcon was not only compared to V, but also made wink at the time of the bird, the time bird did not enter the door, silently moved a step to the right of the door, but accidentally hit the stool leg next to it.

Shi Que lowered his head, and an old lady with a face full of chrysanthemums was sitting on a stool looking at him, her eyes full of doubt and scrutiny.

Shi Que turned his head to look at the lawyer.

The lawyer immediately leaned into his ear and whispered, "It should be a beautiful woman." ”

Sparrow: ......

"It's all here, you have a good rest, I'll leave haha." The lawyer laughed dryly and walked away quickly.

Shi Que stood alone in the corridor, staring at the old lady for a long time, neither of them spoke, and finally Shi Que entered the house, and the old lady continued to sit.

The room is very small, less than 20 square meters. The bedroom and bathroom are spacious, but the kitchen is pitifully small, about the size of two stoves, and the living room is not there. It's more like a budget apartment than a regular one-bedroom apartment.

Maybe the lawyer cleaned it in advance, and unlike the old corridor, the room was very clean, and even the quilt smelled of sunshine.

Shi Que sat on the bed, looking at the patterns on the sheets in a daze. He remembered that the two of them had bought this sheet together when the Falcon was still around.

Shi Falcon is ten years older than Shi Que, and after the death of his parents, they survived for a few years by receiving insurance money. It wasn't until Shi Falcon dropped out of school to work after he was eighteen years old that the family's situation was better.

And this bed sheet was bought by Shi Falcon at the market stall with him after receiving his first month's salary.

"Twenty bucks!" Shi Falcon's salary at the beginning was only 1,000 yuan, and in addition to the rent, it was very difficult to eat every month, but even so, Shi Falcon had to buy this sheet.

"It's so red, let's move to a new home in the future." On the way home, Shi Falcon hugged the sheets and chatted with Shi Que with a smile.

Shi Falcon has drawn a lot of cakes for Shi Que. For example, he wants to earn a lot of money for Shi Que to go to college, for example, he wants to get ahead, and after Shi Que graduates, he will arrange the easiest and lucrative job for Shi Que, or for example, he will buy a car and a house for Shi Que in the future, so that Shi Que can marry the most beautiful daughter-in-law.

In an instant, all the memories related to the time falcon in the past came to mind clearly.

The accumulation of a large number of pictures made Shi Que's head ache for a while. He was half-lying on the bed, his mind pounding. This is the after-effect of excessive recall.

Shi Que has never forgotten since he was a child, he can be called a humanoid scanner, his brain is like a precise storage device with no upper limit, as long as he has seen it, even if it is just swept by the afterglow, it will be firmly remembered in his mind.

Including when he was born, the appearance of the doctor he saw at the first time when he opened his eyes was firmly remembered in his mind, as long as Shi Que wanted to recall, he could recall it immediately, exactly the same.

But the disadvantage that comes with it is that when the Sparrow recalls information from the past quickly and voluminously, it causes dizziness and pain. Shi Falcon told him that it would be good to wait for him to grow up.

At that time, Shi Que thought that Shi Falcon was talking nonsense, but unexpectedly, as he grew older, his symptoms did improve a lot. The dizziness and pain are still present, but they are very mild. Just close your eyes and recuperate for a while.

Maybe it's because of the memories of the past, even this dilapidated house makes Shi Que feel warm. After Shi Falcon left, Shi Que has been living in the school, and after working, most of his salary is used to repay the loan that Shi Falcon borrowed in his name, and the remaining money is only enough to rent the most dilapidated small single room, and beware of the landlord's sudden increase in price or quitting the rent.

But now it's different, this is the home that Shi Falcon left him, and he doesn't have to worry about being driven away by anyone again.

After sitting for a while, Shi Que suddenly stood up, went back to the rental house to pack all the things, and pulled the car back to the old community. Then I contacted the landlord and decided to quit the rent at the end of the month.

Over the years, I have been used to moving around, and there are very few things in the sparrow, so it only takes two hours to pack them all.

Seeing that the items he was familiar with were placed in the same places, Shi Que finally felt a little real sense of home, and he even thought that it would not matter if he received any calls similar to mortgage debt collection next month. It's just to make life more budget-conscious.

Turning on the computer he brought with him, Shi Que finished the rest of the day's work.

After that catastrophe, humanity also suffered a huge blow to its historical and cultural heritage. After the 70th anniversary of the new calendar, people's livelihood returned to stability, and people were full of curiosity and yearning for the "pre-reconstruction", and even the university launched a related major, the "pre-reconstruction" history and folklore research department. It's a pity that until now, this work has not brought much change to mankind, resulting in the folklore profession becoming the unpopular among the unpopular after a short period of popularity.

And Shi Que studied this major, just graduated from university, because of Shi Falcon's recommendation before his death, he worked at the "Pre-Reconstruction" History and Folklore Research Institute in L City.

In the past, it was indeed a very rare job to be a researcher at the Institute of History and Folklore, but six years ago, an accident occurred at the head office of the Institute of History and Folklore in the imperial capital, and a large number of researchers died inexplicably, resulting in the complete collapse of the Institute of History and Folklore. At present, except for the head office of the imperial capital, which still maintains independent office buildings, the branches in various places are in a state of precarious due to incomplete funds.

It's like Shi Que and them, if it weren't for Shi Que who took up the project of compiling folk science books after he went, I am afraid that I would not even have the money to rent an office now.

For a long time, it is not that there are no other folk-related units to recruit outdated sparrows, but all of them have declined. One is because this is the job that Shi Falcon arranged for Shi Que.

The other is the regulations of the Folklore Research Institute, and interns who are recommended for employment cannot resign in accordance with national regulations.

The work of chasing ducks on the shelves is also vainly trying for him to become regular, which is also very outrageous. But lawyers are always concerned about it.

Shi Que also understood why he cared, because Shi Hayabusa worked at the Folklore Research Institute back then.

Shi Que took out his mobile phone and clicked on the special app of the Institute of History and Folklore, and the huge system prompt on the home page came into Shi Que's eyes again.

"To detect that the employee meets the conditions for regularization, please participate in the regularization task as soon as possible."

Shi Que was stunned for a while, and finally closed the app. Back then, Shi Falcon had an accident on the way to participate in the mission of the research institute, and after so many years, Shi Que still clearly remembers the day he received Shi Falcon's obituary.

Even though he understands that unexpected disasters cannot be reversed by manpower, Shi Que is still haunted. Even if he entered the Folklore Research Institute according to Shi Falcon's arrangement, six years later, he still had a pimple in his heart.

Even if it is unreliable, it is his only relative, the brother who raised him with his own hands.

Closing his eyes, Shi Que curled up and lay on the bed, gradually falling into a dream.

The night was getting darker, and as the sun went down, the once quiet corridor suddenly became lively.

Downstairs, a sweet voice from a young girl sounded, "Why did my brother come to see me?" I miss you so much! ”

Shi Que woke up from his sleep, his mind was full of delicate coquettish sounds, and then looked downstairs, five girls dressed in fancy clothes went upstairs around a man who killed Matt's cockscomb. The demeanor is very intimate.

Soon, the sound of doors opening and closing on the opposite side was heard, and then there was a brief silence in the hallway.

Shi Que opened the door, and the old lady was still sitting at his door, staring at the staircase like a torch, and she was not good for a moment. Seeing Shi Que come out, he quickly handed Shi Que a poorly printed small card, on which was printed a beautiful woman in a colorful gauze dress.

Shi Que closed the door silently, and suddenly understood everything. He knew that as long as it was left to him by Shi Falcon, there would be no normal and flawless ones.

In the next few hours, the sound of the opposite door opening and closing continued, the girl's frolicking did not stop, and there was a faint sound of the old man pulling his neck and singing, and the play was also very wild.

Shi Que stuffed two cotton balls into his ears with a wooden face, covered the quilt and continued to sleep.

It wasn't until the second half of the night that Shi Que was once again woken up by the noise of the opposite door, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore, lifted the quilt and sat up from the bed.

I can't fucking sleep at all!!

Looking at the poster of Shi Falcon on the wall, Shi Que held his breath, got out of bed and opened the door neatly, went straight downstairs, and rode a small electric donkey to the nearby 24-hour funeral street.

Half an hour later, Shi Que came back with a big black bag more than one person high, threw down the small electric donkey that was immediately out of power, took a taxi for the first time, and went straight to the cemetery.

When he arrived at the cemetery, Shi Que carried a big black plastic bag up the mountain in the dark, and finally stood in front of Shi Falcon's tomb.

An ordinary stone monument is not a wide and small square cemetery, but this is enough to buy it when the finch spent all the money in his hand.

A piece of paper was laid on the ground, and Shi Que sat on the paper, pulled the brazier next to him, and took out all the contents of the plastic bag and burned it. It burned for more than half an hour, and the sky was slightly bright, and it was finished.

Seeing the fire in the brazier extinguished, Shi Que finally breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up and exhaled as he looked at the words "Shi Hayabusa, an intern at the Institute of History and Folklore" engraved on the stele.

This is what Shi Hayabusa specially instructed in his will to be engraved on the tombstone, as if the identity of an intern at the Folklore Research Institute is a great honor.

How much do you like this place at the Folklore Research Institute? Shi Que didn't know if he was asking himself, or if he was asking Shi Falcon underground.

Then he took out his phone and took a taxi, ready to go home.

On the way back, the lawyer sent a message to Shi Que and asked, "How does your new home feel?" ”

Shi Que: "It's good. ”

Lawyer: "I'll just say that the house is good, and the Falcon still thinks about you." ”

Shi Que: "I also miss him, so I just finished worshipping." Burned sixty old men and old ladies for him in your name. ”

Lawyer: "?? ”

Shi Que: "There are also ten speakers and a hundred square dance collections of Phoenix legends. ”

Ten seconds later, the lawyer really called, and Shi Que directly hung up the black dragon, and then leaned back in the chair and looked out the window in a daze.

Even at five o'clock in the morning, there is no shortage of passers-by who are eager to return home from the night shift. But for six years, Shi Que had no home to return to. Now, at last, he has.

Taking out his mobile phone, Shi Que opened the special app of the Folklore Research Institute. This time, he did not hesitate, directly clicked on the message notifying the regularization, selected the option to confirm the participation in the regularization task, and then exited the app.

In the end, Shi Falcon wanted to give him a home, so he simply replaced Shi Falcon to complete his unfinished dream.

The car stopped in the old town, and Shi Que stepped on the noise and went upstairs, then he entered the room, changed his clothes, brought cotton balls, turned off the lights and went to bed and covered with a quilt.

This time, he was able to sleep peacefully.

In the dimness, the mobile phone screen lit up silently, and a task notification of the Folklore Research Institute app was pushed: The induction task has begun, researcher 023, welcome home.
