Reading paves the way for the future
The calendar on the wall, another page has been turned.
August 19, 2008.
I packed my bags and looked at the empty home.
Footsteps. It was Wang Junyi who walked up from the corridor.
Sister Yu, do you really want to go to Beijing? ”
Well. "You don't have to run that far, do you......”
As I said, it's mostly for something else. ”
I turned around and smiled at him.
When will you be back? You ......He seemed to sense something, "Will you come back?" ”
I will. I said, "We'll meet again in 1997." ”
The railway station in the small county town does not have a large passenger flow. In the waiting hall, there are very few travelers.
I held my school bag and looked silently at the intersection of the platform, recalling everything since the summer.
It's more about powerlessness.
Because of Bai Ye's ingenuity, he gave birth to kindness that is not close to people;
Qiaoqiao fell in love with her reformed Bai Ye, but was imprisoned forever because of this;
Lao Chen blessed Qiaoqiao for eleven years, and the price was to owe Bai Ye forever, and he couldn't pay it back;
Wang Junyi lost a life for me;
I was able to get out of the loop eventually, but only I could do ...... of the most brutal tasks
It was as if each of us had become a sacrifice to the fog.
I know, that's right. Stop the sacrifice and break the reincarnation.
Just, just.
The price behind this is too heavy and bloody......
The sound of hurried footsteps disrupted my thoughts, and I looked up to see a frizzy young man running wildly in the waiting hall.
Young man, you really look like Wang Junyi......
No, that's him!
I shouted, and he turned around, noticed me, and scrambled over.
Tiny Tiny! ”
What are you doing? Didn't you tell you not to send it?! ”
No, it's not ......He gasped, "Package, there's your package!" ”
Only then did I know that a postman had gone to my house, but I was not there, and the letter could only be collected by Wang Junyi.
It was sent by your mother! He said.
I was stunned.
The sender's address is blank. No one knows where this letter came from.
In the empty home, it was just me and Wang Junyi, and I opened the package and took out a plastic pouch.
Jade plate? Wang Junyi said.
I'm equally confused.
Inside this plastic bag are two small fish jade plates that have been inlaid with gold.
I frowned, my mother, in her hands, how could there be so many small fish?
Where is she now?
A feeling that I can't put into words.
It seems that behind all this, there is an unknown truth.
Along with the package, there is also a piece of stationery.
Tiny, mom is waiting for you on July 1, 97. ”
There's only one line on it.
Is this your secret word? "Wang Junyi is in a fog," you said before. ”
I shook my head.
I noticed that my mother wrote "you".
Is she referring to me and my father, or me and Wang Junyi?
Aunt Wang, can you tell me about her? My mom. ”
I asked Aunt Wang. She was washing the dishes and didn't look back, "What do you mean?" ”
I was silent for a moment.
That's what my dad won't let you tell me. ”
I'm cheating on Aunt Wang, over the years, my dad has told me very little about my mother, and occasionally asks, but always avoids.
But he clearly can't forget my mother, so he should only mention those past events from time to time.
Unless, there's something he doesn't want me to know.
Sure enough, Aunt Wang was stunned.
When did you know the ......”
She turned her head and saw my "sure enough" expression, and smiled helplessly, she understood that she had been tricked.
The Wang Junyi brothers were playing electric in the living room, and Aunt Wang untied her apron and glared at them in the living room.
You two, go to the Internet café and play games. ”
Mom, what are you stimulated by today? ”
Go and go. The brothers were blown away in a fog, and Aunt Wang beckoned me to sit on the sofa.
She leaned against the window and lit a cigarette.
The smoke dissipated outside the window, and her face was still hesitant.
If you don't say I'll keep asking. ”
Forget it, your dad runs away every once in a while, what kind of dad is it. She finally sighed, "Why listen to him." ”
Do you remember that this winter, there was a snow disaster, and all the roads were closed. ”
But in the end we forgot everything.
However, two strangers came. ”
They did one thing, one unthinkable thing. ”
What the? "They kidnapped Lao Yu. ”
I know, this is really incredible, no kidnapper with a normal IQ will target my family with this condition.
But it did happen – in the winter when the city was closed by heavy snow, I escaped by going out with Wang Junyi to set off firecrackers. When I got home, I found that my father was gone.
He had been missing all day, and when I woke up the next day, he had somehow reappeared in the bedroom, looking quite embarrassed. At that time, he wouldn't tell me anything, and I could only think that he had gone out to buy and drunk all day.
Now Aunt Wang told me that he had been kidnapped.
Lao Yu said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and he is going to buy some meat filling and make dumplings for you. But walking in the snow and ice, I heard footsteps behind me, and then I didn't remember anything. ”
When he woke up, he found himself in the warehouse. ”
The two strangers, wearing masks, couldn't see what they looked like. ”
They claim to be from out of town and ask your father about your mother's whereabouts. And ......”
Aunt Wang said, looking at me and hesitating.
It's okay, I want to know. ”
She sighed, "They tortured Lao Yu. ”
At first, your father thought they were in debt. But then it turns out that they only care about your mother's whereabouts. Lao Yu was tortured very badly, but he didn't say anything - not to mention that he didn't know it himself, and even if he knew, it was impossible to reveal half a word. ”
That's ......How did he escape? I asked, with a low face.
Aunt Wang shook her head, "He doesn't know either. ”
Lao Yu said that he fainted not long after, and when he woke up, it was already the next day, and he appeared in his home, as if he had been rescued by someone. ”
And ......"He was in his pocket and found a note. ”
Taibang, no one will bother you anymore, take care of Xiaoxiao. ”
That's your mother's handwriting. ”
I was stunned. My mom, in the winter, came back?!
Lao Yu only told the police and me about this. In fact, he vaguely guessed that your mother probably had some kind of enemy and didn't want to implicate you, so that in 97 she was far away and never dared to come back. ”
Probably in winter, it was she who arrived in time to save him. But for some reason, he left again. ”
But Lao Yu later investigated all her past events, and there was no clue at all, she was just an ordinary municipal female worker. ”
In short, Lao Yu and I couldn't think of a reason. ”
By the way, there's one more strange thing. ”
Aunt Wang recalled, "Lao Yu said that he didn't know if it was a hallucination. The two strangers, a middle-aged man and a girl, although they lowered their voices to speak, he always felt that they were very similar to you and your mother. ”
For a moment, I was creepy!
If what my dad said was true......These two strangers should have come from a parallel time and space!
It couldn't have come from Qiaoqiao, she didn't have to open the passage at that time.
It's other planes than us!
Outlanders, suddenly appearing and disappearing ......I lowered my head and stared at the two jade plates in my hands.
How many parallel planes are there in this world? Why did they come to my mother?
It seems that he still came to ...... with hatred
What happened in the past?
I know that I can't find out until I go back to '97.
Three days later, night fell. Wang Junyi and I sat in the living room of my house.
It's time to go.
My dad still hasn't come back, and I still haven't figured out who my mom sent the two "tickets" for.
The cycle is over, and all the intrigue calculations are a thing of the past.
I thought, let it be.
In the past three days, I told Wang Junyi everything about it, but there was no invitation.
I want to wait for him to choose.
At this moment, Wang Junyi is still dreamy, "a little ......."Why don't you write **? ”
Excuse me, how tiring it is to write......No, I told you to lie to you, a puppy! ”
He scratched at his hair, his face still incredulous, "I'm really that handsome......."And saved your life......”
I held back a laugh, and of course I didn't say anything about his confession. That heavy mission still weighs on my shoulders, and there are some things that can probably only be left for the next reincarnation.
Not sure why. He sighed and said, "I think that girl named Qiaoqiao is quite pitiful." ”
I was silent. yes, I'm just a little luckier than her.
As far as I can remember, my dad never reported a meritorious deed.
About many years ago, on the way back from the township to negotiate business, he just drank a few sips of water and held his urine for a while, so he missed the road rage.
In the end, it is fate.
If my fate and her are reversed, how much better will my final choice be than hers?
Wang Junyi hesitated, but in the end, he still asked.
Does history have to be restored to the way it was? ”
Before Bai Ye left, he specially told me about Lao Chen. I think he wants me to understand his choice, a policeman, reduced to a criminal, this is the other person who was sacrificed after rewriting history. ”
Isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds? ”
I glanced at Wang Junyi, and then smiled, he and I are the same kind of people after all, and I can't figure out such a profound truth. I just know that it would be great if I could save everyone.
However, I lowered my head, but I could only shake it gently.
I also hope that there is another way to restore history to its original state and save her family's ...... at the same timeBut I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't think of a solution. ”
What about you? Any thoughts? ”
Wang Junyi frowned, pondered for a while, and sighed.
I can't think of it, it's so hard. ”
As he spoke, he reacted again, "Your story is really ...... brought me in."Tell you the truth, did the debtors scare you? ”
Yes? "How do I feel that you are a sign of death? ”
I was helpless, he didn't remember anything for a long time, he hadn't witnessed the miracle with his own eyes, and in the end, it was normal not to believe it.
Forget it, let's just think it's just a story."
It seems that my mother can only wait until I go back alone.
Unexpectedly, Wang Junyi stood up suddenly, "No, you still have to live in my house these days." ”
Why? "Don't worry about you. ”
Oops, I've told it all, it's just a story......You go back first, and let me be alone for a while. ”
Rely on you to say this more scary, okay?! ”
Get out and get out. ”
I pushed him, he refused to leave, and between the pushes, the ** in the family rang out like thunder.
Wang Junyi and I glanced at each other.
Wang Junyi and I ran wildly in the county.
That **, it was from those who asked for debts, they arrested my dad and asked me to take the money to ransom people.
Otherwise, his fingers would not have been saved.
I knew very well that in '97, everything could be done all over again, but, but, after all, it was my dad'......I glanced at Wang Junyi, and he nodded, "I'll go with you." ”
Nonsense, he can't go to his father-in-law.
Along the way, he used his mobile phone to call Wang Chengcheng **, but no one answered on the other end, probably playing games in an Internet café.
Drop the chain at a critical time. Wang Junyi sighed.
But your brother ......I hesitated, I told him that in the cycle, his younger brother brought a group of younger brothers and injured Uncle Chen because of his violence, "Is it really good to let him get involved in this kind of occasion again?" ”
He frowned and put away his phone, "No matter, let him go." ”
Soon, far away, in a back alley.
I saw the yellow hair, squatting there smoking and watching the wind.
This is the back door of the casino.
Yellow hair! Where's my dad?! ”
He came up to cover my mouth, but Wang Junyi pulled it away, and Huang Mao had no choice but to signal me to be quiet.
From the depths of the back door, my dad's screams were heard.
My eyes turned red.
A slight smell of blood.
My dad was bleeding from the corners of his mouth. Fell to the ground and was trampled in the face by the leader.
It was an empty storeroom, and there were many thugs present.
That amount of money is not a small amount. If they don't see the money, they probably won't let them go.
Tiny, you ...... goDad muttered, his voice getting weaker, and he fainted.
Fear? 
What is it compared to what I experienced in the cycle?
Hey, did you bring the money? "The leader asked me.
No. I shook my head, "And we borrowed more than 10,000 yuan, and the profit was rolled to 150,000, is it appropriate?" ”
You miscalculated, it's 200,000 today. ”
The leader seemed to have lost his patience, he took out a knife and aimed it at his father's finger, "People can give it back to you, and the finger will bet me here, and raise money to redeem it." You have to hurry, it's too late, but you won't be able to catch ......”
You don't want fingers, you want money. I interrupted him, "Bet on you, it's a big deal, we don't want it, exchange it for 200,000, and say to my family, it's a good deal." ”
It's ironic. Such a bluffing interrogation was learned from Qiaoqiao.
Sure enough, the leader was stunned for a moment.
I know that you have done this business, and you have been able to do it so far, and there must be something behind ......If you are a loan shark or deliberately hurt someone, there are people who can protect you, but what you do is business after all, if you kill someone, can they still protect you? ”
I walked up, grabbed his wrist, and aimed the knife at my chest.
I stared into his eyes, "I'll pay you back...... money."If it's urgent, the old lady will do anything! ”
He was so frightened by my eyes that he didn't speak for a long time.
This is what I learned from Bai Ye again, and so far, I have already felt indifferent to death, as he said.
Wang Junyi ran up and untied the rope for my father.
I let go of my hand, and Wang Junyi picked up my dad together, stared at them, and slowly retreated.
I carried my father's heavy body and retreated to the door, but then the door suddenly opened, and I was knocked and stumbled and fell to the ground.
It was Huang Mao who came in suddenly, and he didn't know what to do in a panic.
When I came back to my senses, I realized that in my pocket, the jade plate had fallen out.
One sole caught that jade plate.
The shoes of the leader.
That's our "ticket" back to '97!
I raised my head and looked at him with a panicked expression, and then I reacted - oh no, I was not good at learning and showing timidity!
The leader laughed meaningfully.
People like them are the best at seeing where other people's lives are!
Wang Junyi and I tried to snatch my jade plate back from under his shoe. But the opponent was outnumbered, and they all pounced. Soon, Wang Junyi was thrown to the ground by several thugs and kicked several times.
I was pulled by the leader's hair, and my face was full of pain.
He shook the jade plate twice in front of me, "Do you want this?" ”
I pounced on him and tried to bite him, but he flashed into the air, and my teeth bumped together, faintly sore.
Little sister, money to money, two different things. I like you. He said, "Why don't you stay with me?" ”
The men laughed and began to heckle in this direction, as if they knew what was going to happen next.
Wang Junyi's eyes widened suddenly, and he struggled to crawl towards me, but he was kicked down in an instant.
The leader, apparently, was not consulting with me, and I kept struggling, but he could only drag me to a small room in the storeroom.
I knew that no matter what happened in the end, they wouldn't be able to get it back.
They are the kind of people who want to pinch other people's lives and eat them up until they are wiped clean.
Wang Junyi roared and overturned the people who were beating him several times. Someone suddenly hit him hard in the back of the head, shaking his body and lying down weakly.
Don't ......Don't ......”
I could hear his faint murmur. He stared in my direction, his eyes bloodshot.
The door to the storehouse was closed by one of his men.
Despair spreads in the bottom of my heart.
Just as the door was about to close.
Boom! With a loud bang, the man fell.
The door was kicked open!
Everyone turned around in astonishment, it was Aunt Wang, smoking a cigarette. Behind Aunt Wang is Uncle Chen and his wife.
Wang Chengcheng also came, and he kicked the door open, and he picked up a steel rod out of nowhere.
Put, let people go, ......Uncle Chen looked at the vicious eyes on the other side, obviously timid, "I, I, we called the police." ”
What the are you guys about?! Get the out! ”
Aunt Wang dropped the cigarette from her mouth and grabbed the steel rod in Wang Chengcheng's hand, "Didn't you say that you were reasonable, who did you learn from......”
A gangster who had no eyesight to see went up and scolded, "Haven't you learned the word roll?!" Immediately, he noticed Aunt Wang and smiled lewdly, "If the others leave, Auntie, will you stay?" ”
A steel rod stood between him and Aunt Wang.
Wang Chengcheng slowly turned his head and looked at the gangster without saying a word. He glanced at the thugs again and roughly counted a number.
He's counting the numbers.
Mom, so many people have broken down, can our family afford the medical expenses? ”
Aunt Wang stumbled around and tied up a beautiful ponytail.
Can afford to get out - blow their heads to the old lady! ”
The scuffle began.
The gangster who was molesting Aunt Wang had already been knocked to the ground by Wang Chengcheng with a stick, and at this moment Aunt Wang's high heels stepped on his hand and twisted it hard.
Auntie, I was wrong Auntie, aren't you reasoning?! ”
Call sister! "Sister! Big sister—".
Give me the big letters!!
Uncle Chen was like a loach, dodging the opposite side of the chase and interception, obviously frightened, but he avoided it perfectly every time. On the contrary, it was his wife, who had always had amazing combat effectiveness, with the hair of two gangsters, fighting without a head and a face, and wailing.
Uncle Chen was still blocked in the corner, unable to dodge, screaming in despair.
However, he was stopped by Wang Chengcheng at that moment, and Uncle Chen looked around, and most of the people present were put down by him, and there were already very few.
Wang Junyi and I pressed the leader to the death, breaking his clenched palms.
Return the things to her on the horse! ”
Wang Junyi! Pick up his pants! See if he lets go! ”
Let go, big brother, I'm really pickpocketed! ”
When my dad was woken up by the sprinkling, all the chickens and dogs had already settled. The people are basically gone, and only a few of us are left, each of whom has hung up the lottery, and it is not much better.
Huang Mao slipped away early, like a two-five boy. I also only know now that when Wang Junyi and I first entered the door, he ran to Wang Chengcheng to report the news.
Wang Chengcheng went back to the old building to call someone, and he rushed back first, worried that the situation would develop to the point of being out of control, so he recklessly broke in.
By mistake, it just hit me.
The one who leads—our creditor. was tied up by the rope found by Wang Chengcheng, and he was disgraced.
When he saw my dad wake up, he smiled sarcastically, "Is it interesting?" The beam is knotted, and none of you people want to run. ”
We know his methods, splashing paint, harassing people, and doing everything.
However, we still looked at his bare legs - his pants had already been ripped off by Wang Junyi and me, and his leg hair was flying.
Give me some more time. After a moment of silence, my dad said, "Selling a house also takes time. ”
Uncle Chen was so overjoyed that he almost applauded. was glared at by Aunt Wang, and turned her head in disdain.
By the way, let's discuss the matter of discounting the interest rate, shall we? Aunt Wang smiled and said to the creditor.
Yes? The creditor was stunned.
At night, I arrived on the roof of the old building.
I slipped away ahead of time.
I didn't call my dad, and even Wang Junyi couldn't believe the story, let alone this dead old man.
Time is running out, and I have to go.
Little! I turned around in astonishment, it was Wang Junyi, he didn't know when he followed.
What are you doing? "I'm helpless.
I didn't want to jump in front of him, it was too scary.
Can I be alone for a while? ”
He didn't speak, but walked up and leaned against the low fence beside me, with his trouser pockets in his trouser pockets.
What bothers me so much? He said.
I angrily ignored him.
Little! He said, "Tell me something." ”
I looked at him in confusion.
You just held a knife and pointed it at yourself. He gestured, "I suddenly have a feeling that you are different from before." ”
It's like I've been to a lot of places and experienced a lot of things. ”
...... in a time I don't know”
He turned his head and looked at me, "Divide me one." ”
I was surprised, he smiled at me, "It's always a little uneasy not to accompany you." ”
He took the jade plate and looked at it in the moonlight.
By the way, my dad's side, how's it going? I asked.
Chen Xiaoqi came with the police, my mother and Uncle Chen were there, and they could handle it. ”
That's great. I couldn't help but say.
What the? "When I think of the next me, I can grow up here and live here. I thought, it's good. I looked back at the old building with nostalgia.
Then your wish is quite simple. ”
I smiled. Tonight's Olympics will feature a women's relay track and field event.
It's a pity that I can't see it, so I'll leave it to the next one.
I squatted down in front of Wang Junyi and began to lift his legs.
He was stunned, "What are you doing?" ”
It's time to go, I'll help you, soon. ”
Eh?!! I'm scared, I'm afraid, aren't you really here?! I just want to pretend to be a force! ”
Yes? ”
I was stunned, it was too late, he had already been thrown out by me.
I poked my head out and yelled downward, "Then you should have said it earlier!" Idiot! ”
You—hand—too—fast—ah—".
His voice was elongated in midair.
Am I yelling at idiots?!! Also flipped out.
