Chapter 3 Metamorphosis
Ningshi, early in the morning.
In an old neighborhood on the outskirts.
The uncles and aunts who practiced in the morning were practicing Tai Chi in the square, and the breakfast shop on the roadside was scattered with some early guests.
Everything was as usual, quiet and peaceful.
In a building in the community, the sun shines on Luo Sheng's face through the window, he is still asleep, and his mouth still chirps from time to time, as if he is reminiscing about some food.
"I'm Di Laoga, and I live in that tun~~~" Suddenly, a series of hurried phones rang.
Luo Sheng woke up and reached out to touch the mobile phone on the bedside table, and he looked at the phone screen with sleepy eyes.
turned on the speakerphone, then continued to rest his head on the pillow, casually put the phone next to the pillow, closed his eyes and said, "Second uncle, what's the matter." ”
"Xiaosheng, haven't you gotten up yet?" came the voice of a middle-aged man on the phone.
"Well, second uncle, I didn't go to work this weekend. What's the matter?" Luo Sheng asked.
The man on the phone is Luo Sheng's second uncle, Luo Guangjie.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luo Sheng hadn't seen his parents since he could remember, and he grew up in his second uncle's house.
The second uncle, Luo Guangjie, is a herb merchant in Sioux City, he is tall, loyal and honest, and he always takes honesty in business and conducts life, and has an excellent reputation in Sioux City.
Although Luo Guangjie is not a rich man, he has a little money, and it is more than enough to raise and educate Luo Sheng and his own child Luo Hang.
Luo Guangjie's wife, Song Siyu, is the daughter of the Song family, a family of traditional Chinese medicine in Sioux City.
When she was young, her beauty captured the hearts of countless men, but after meeting Luo Guangjie, Song Siyu fell in love with him deeply.
In Luo Sheng's memory, the second aunt is a particularly virtuous woman, with a husband and children, diet and daily life, plus she herself inherits the tradition of the Xinglin family, and the health care of the entire Luo family, she is all arranged in an orderly manner.
What Luo Sheng misses the most is the osmanthus cake made by his second aunt, which is fragrant and delicious, with a sweet aftertaste.
Luo Sheng was full of words every time he thought about it. Luo Sheng has to eat a whole plate every time he goes home, and he doesn't feel sweet.
Luo Sheng didn't feel any regrets in his childhood, the only regret was that he had never met his parents, and the second uncle and aunt rarely mentioned it to him, only saying that they died in an accident.
At the age of 16, Luo Sheng was admitted to the famous school --- Ningcheng University of Technology, the provincial capital of Ningcheng, and he left his second uncle's house to study in Ningshi that year.
The four years of college life are fleeting, and Luo Sheng, who has excellent grades since childhood, spent two years completing his master's degree after completing his bachelor's degree in computer science.
After graduation, he stayed in Ningcheng to work, but Luo Sheng would still go back to Suzhou City to visit his second uncle's family during the New Year's holidays.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------, "Oh, it's nothing, didn't you say you'd come back this week, I want to ask when you'll arrive?" the second uncle asked.
Luo Sheng then remembered and looked at the time on his phone, 7:08 in the morning.
"Second uncle, wait a minute!" Luo Sheng climbed out of bed and found a ticket in his coat.
The ticket says Ningshi --- Sioux City, and the departure time is 7:20.
From Luo Sheng's residence to the station, it takes at least 30 minutes by car, and Luo Sheng thinks that he must not be able to catch up.
Luo Sheng said helplessly: "Second uncle, there was something wrong yesterday, I slept a little, second uncle, I'll come back next time."
"Xiaosheng, you haven't been back for a long time, you didn't come back last time you said you worked overtime during the Mid-Autumn Festival, your aunt and I really miss you, she made a lot of osmanthus cakes for you to eat... The voice on the other end of the phone was very regrettable.
"Next week, I will definitely come back next week" Luo Sheng apologized and said, "Second uncle, I still have some problems, hang up first" Luo Sheng was afraid that he would hear the second uncle's lost voice again, so he hurriedly hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone, Luo Sheng remembered that he fainted last night for no reason.
The scenes in the dream flashed quickly in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more strange it became, because those images and feelings were really too real.
At that moment, he seemed to suddenly remember something.
I picked up my phone and looked for something carefully.
Looking for what?
He was looking for the crack in the phone after it fell in his dream, and he vaguely remembered that there was a crack in the position of the phone's earpiece, but the phone screen was indeed intact.
Luo Sheng secretly laughed at himself for being so stupid, those unreliable things yesterday must have been dreams, he obviously believed that he was working too much overtime and fainted due to physical exhaustion.
Luo Sheng thought so much that he didn't feel sleepy, so he turned over and got up and came to the bathroom to prepare to wash.
He expertly squeezed toothpaste into the toothbrush and put it in his mouth. I looked up at myself in the mirror.
He lowered his head again, twitched his forearm quickly, and brushed his teeth. . .
Suddenly, Luo Sheng's movements stopped, the whole person froze beside the pool, and the toothbrush fell to the ground with a "click".
He raised his head suddenly, his eyes were bigger than the brass bell, staring at himself in the mirror...
His forehead, in front of his sky-high hairline, grew short hair!!!
Luo Sheng rubbed his eyes vigorously, and his face was about to be pressed against the mirror.
He found that he was not dazzled.
Luo Sheng twisted a new long short hair with his fingernails, pulled it out suddenly, and the pain in his heart spread all over his scalp, he "ouch", swallowed a mouthful of toothpaste foam and shouted:
"This, this hair is real?!" he turned his head sideways again, looked at the previous bald areata, and found that they had also grown short hairs.
Luo Sheng was overjoyed, his colleagues spent thousands of dollars to get a hair transplant, and he was not bald overnight!!
After a brief moment of excitement, Luo Sheng was puzzled and fell into deep thought
"What's going on? I haven't used any hair growth products lately, and even if I do, my hair doesn't grow overnight!"
The more Luo Sheng thought about it, the more wrong he felt, and he wanted to go to the hospital to check what was wrong with his body.
Thinking of this, Luo Sheng picked up the cup, rinsed the toothpaste in his mouth and returned to the bedroom, and was about to raise his hand to take off his pajamas, when he heard a tearing sound, and the pajamas under his armpit tore out a big tear.
The clothes are too small to tear out such a hole, and Luo Sheng wondered, "This pajamas of mine should be very loose." He laboriously took off his shirt and returned to the bathroom mirror.
Luo Sheng was stunned again, in the mirror, which is the usually thin and thin Luo Sheng, the man in the mirror is muscular, and the eight-pack abs are neatly arranged, but this muscle is not as strong as a bodybuilder, it can be said that it is just right.
Looking at his face again, his deep eyes and thick black sword eyebrows exude a heroic spirit, and his slightly straight nose bridge and thin lips are not handsome.
Although the face is still his own face, it is no longer the face of premature aging that has been tortured by programs and code for five or six years. From the body to the face, it can be said that it has changed dramatically.
Luo Sheng was completely confused, he thought to himself: "Why did my body make such a change, I suddenly fainted yesterday and almost died, and today I am completely reborn." ”
At this time, Luo Sheng's mobile phone rang again, interrupting his thoughts.
He walked to the bed and picked up his mobile phone, the call was from Zhang Defa, Luo Sheng thought about it for a while, and decided not to tell anyone about himself until he figured out his physical problems.
Luo Sheng slid his phone, pretending to be impatient and said, "Hey, old Zhangtou, tell me something!" He walked to the closet and took one of his biggest sweatshirts.
Zhang Defa said: "Well, it looks like you're recovering well, didn't you almost go to Hexi last night, call you to express condolences and condolences How are you doing now, I'm afraid you'll burp in a different place?"
Luo Sheng said, "You don't have any good words, but, thank you for your concern, I'm very good." ”
"My wife came back from a trip to Thailand yesterday and brought some good things, I don't feel interested, I'll send it to you, it's a big supplement!" Zhang Defa said in a low voice.
"Zhang Defa, are you a little in shape, when did I bring it to you, what kind of big thing" A woman's sharp voice suddenly came from the phone.
Luo Sheng's ears were almost deaf, thinking that this voice should be Zhang Defa's wife.
Luo Sheng said loudly into the microphone: "Hello sister-in-law!" and then his voice became smaller: "Zhang Defa, I don't need this thing, you keep it and use it slowly, okay, I won't tell you, I'll see you next week !! company" After speaking, he hung up the phone.
Luo Sheng put down the phone, sighed, and came back to his senses, he was going to study his body again.
But at this moment, there was a piercing pain in his abdomen.
Luo Sheng covered his stomach and knelt on the ground.
Then the pain slowly spread to the limbs. He was in a painful cold sweat, his eyes were shining with Venus, his mind was blank, Luo Sheng fell to the ground in pain and fainted...
