Volume 1: The Immortals Chapter 1: The Wandering Spirit
Today is July 7, 2020, which is the day when Yang Tian went to visit his wife in Linshi. Because the two work in two places, there is little time to meet, it is Valentine's Day, Yang Tiancai specially asked the boss for leave to give his wife a surprise.
Yang Tian, an ordinary worker, has struggled outside for more than ten years and has only mixed into the middle-level position of a company, but fortunately, this person has a docile personality, treats people with humility and loves and hates, and has not encountered any major setbacks in the past ten years.
Suddenly, they were separated from their wives, and they would be a little unaccustomed to being together for more than ten years, especially Yang Tian, who fortunately took this opportunity to mention the first car in his life some time ago, thinking that it would be more convenient to visit his wife during the holidays.
From S city to H city, it is more than 100 kilometers by car, and it takes dozens of kilometers of high-speed, because he is often blamed by his wife for not understanding romance, this time Yang Tian specially bought a very large bouquet of flowers.
After getting off work at three o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Tian drove non-stop to H City, and when it was close to six o'clock in the evening, Yang Tian arrived at the downstairs of his wife's company. I haven't seen each other for more than a month, Yang Tian couldn't help but feel a little excited, looking at the bright red roses next to him, imagining what his wife would look like when she saw these flowers, the corners of Yang Tian's mouth rose unconsciously.
Yang Tian looked at the time, his wife got off work at six o'clock, the time was just right, he parked the car on the side of the road opposite the gate of his wife's company, sorted out his clothes, picked up the prepared roses from the passenger seat and got out of the car.
The atmosphere of the Qixi Festival is very strong, Yang Tian stands on the side of the road, the people passing by are basically in pairs, occasionally someone will see Yang Tian holding flowers in his hand and smile and whisper with his companions, guessing that this must be another young man who is about to confess, I don't know what kind of object it will be A girl is so happy. There will also be lovers who pass by, and when they see this situation, the woman will pretend to complain about the man around her, who doesn't understand the taste, and then go away in the noise.
Time passed minute by minute, and Yang Tian's hands holding the flowers were a little sour, but people in the company came out one after another, but there was never a figure of his wife. Yang Tian thought to himself that he hadn't notified his wife to come over, and it was normal for his wife not to come down early, so he had to temporarily put the flower on the hood of the car next to him, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, ready to wait for a while.
Yang Tian, who was smoking silently, was woken up from a daze by a car headlight, and it turned out that an Audi was also parked next to him. A tall handsome guy came down from the sound of closing the door, and he was also holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, unlike the flowers that Yang Tian bought, the bouquet of flowers was really exaggerated, Yang Tian guessed, there may be 999 flowers?
The man also found Yang Tian, saw the shabby flowers placed on the car here, pulled the corners of his mouth, reached out and took out his mobile phone from his pocket and started calling.
Yang Tian despised it in his heart, it's great to be rich, can you do whatever you want if you have money? Turning his head and ignoring the rich second generation over there, he threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and stepped on it with his foot, and took out his mobile phone to make a call to his wife.
Seeing that the time was almost seven o'clock, he turned out his wife's phone number and broadcast it, "I'm sorry, the number you dialed can't be reached for the time being, please ......dial it later" No one answered? Listening to the human voice circulating in the mobile phone, Yang Tian hung up the phone with some irritability, what kind of trouble is this!
The man next to him seemed to have finished the phone call, and walked to the door of the company where his wife worked with the huge flowers in his hand, Yang Tian guessed that maybe his girlfriend was also working here, and when he saw that the other party's female companion seemed to be about to come out, and then looked at the phone in his hand that did not respond, and his heart was even more irritable.
He opened his wife's WeChat and typed: "Wife, what about you, today is Valentine's Day!"
Ding Dong, I received a reply immediately after sending it: "What about Valentine's Day, there is no holiday, and I have to work overtime!"
Seeing this, Yang Tian felt a little better, no wonder he didn't see his wife for a long time, it turned out that he had to work overtime, and he couldn't help but feel distressed for his wife, thinking that he was still a little impatient and a little annoyed just now.
Yang Tian, who was about to reply to his wife, heard the sound of the door of the company opening again, and looked up, wanting to see what the rich second-generation girlfriend looked like, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Under the darkening night, a woman in professional clothes walked out of it, and under the backlight, she saw that the woman's long hair was slightly curly on her shoulders, her legs were wrapped in black stockings, and her feet were stepping on white high heels and making a "clang" sound on the floor, which was so loud that it seemed to be directly chiseled into Yang Tian's heart. Although he didn't see it clearly, his intuition told him that this was his wife who had just said he was going to work overtime.
Yang Tian stood in place, his mind was blank, watching his wife take the flowers in the man's hand, jumping up excitedly, the man bowed his head and pointed to his face as if he was invited, Yang Tian's wife pretended to hit with the flowers in her hand, and the two laughed heartily. This laughter was so harsh, Yang Tian's head hurt, and he unconsciously clenched his hands and punctured his palms without knowing it.
In a trance, the two seemed to come over, Yang Tian's world was instantly clear, this moment was so long, it seemed that he had gone through a lifetime, and he had been with his wife. I saw my wife holding flowers in one hand, holding the man's arm in the other hand and talking and laughing, without looking at this side at all, as if there was only the strange man in her eyes.
Yang Tian is unusually awake for some reason now, he has never been so sober in his life, he watched the two people over there pick up their mobile phones and dial his wife's number. The wife in the distance noticed the movement of the mobile phone and picked it up and looked at it, and Yang Tian received a prompt from the other party's busy voice. Immediately after that, I received a message, "What are you doing, you are working overtime, if you have a holiday, you can go out alone to have fun, I can't leave here, I can't go to see you, I'll talk tomorrow!" Yang Tian sneered and replied: "I know, so I came to see you!"
After sending this message, Yang Tian seemed to have decided something, lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and threw the remaining cigarettes and lighters on the ground. The sound of the cigarette case landing on the ground seemed to alarm the wife who received the message over there, and the two of them looked over in unison.
In an instant, the flowers in Yang Tian's wife's hand fell to the ground, and the smile froze on her face, Yang Tian stared at his wife's face, that face was so beautiful and moving, but it was also so disgusting at this moment.
Yang Tian took a big puff of the cigarette in his hand, picked up the flowers he bought in front of the car and threw them in the dirty garbage bin next to him, then turned around and went back to the car to start the car, and left without looking back.
Yang Tian drove out of the city with a roaring car and drove into the highway, this way, he thought a lot, but he didn't know what he thought, he seemed to have put down something along the way, but he didn't seem to have let go of anything, only the cold chill on his face reminded him that this failed person had lost everything.
On the dark highway, the bright light of the cars seems to be the stars in the sky coming and going, Yang Tian drove the car in a daze to gather in this starlight, and the lights illuminated in the culvert disappeared quickly in front of him, like a comet, faster and faster, faster and faster......
There was a loud buzzing sound, which shook Yang Tian's headache, and he struggled to open his eyes that he didn't know when he closed, but he couldn't see anything clearly, only vaguely heard the noise around him, there were men and women, old and young......
