If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 1050

Lu Mingfei still vaguely remembers his homeroom teacher in Shilan Middle School, that mean middle-aged woman, she always grabbed her dozing ear and said loudly in front of the whole class: Lu Mingfei, take a look You, you didn't look like you were in class, and you didn't wake up when you slept. I can't even imagine what kind of children your generation will be like if they are parents.

Lu Mingfei, who stood up with his ears pulled, was also at a loss. Even if a 15- or 6-year-old young man is in love, he will never consider the nightmare of raising a family in the future, so he can't refute the ridicule and anger of the head teacher. After all Even he himself couldn't imagine what it would be like to let himself teach children.

When I was young, I always felt that scene was far away from him, like a petrel reflected in the glass of a building in the distance outside the window, flashing before my eyes, unable to imagine its shape and flight trajectory.He didn't have an answer at that time, but the deskmate next to him gave him an answer.

Lin Nian always has a glimpse of the whole picture, and perhaps his understanding of Lu Mingfei is roughly derived from this, so after the head teacher asked this sarcastic question, he looked at the rainy day outside the window and was at a loss. Lu Mingfei answered the question: He really doesn’t know how to take care of children, but someone will help him take care of them.

Perhaps what Lin Nian said casually at that time was true. Heartless people in this world are always lucky. They will always have someone who loves them to the bone.

Lu Mingfei stood on the sand in front of the dilapidated single-family double-story wooden house, staring blankly at the two little figures chasing and fighting on the sand dunes under the setting sun, with the huge setting sun hanging in their background, The setting sun was so shockingly red that every inch it went down the sand dunes, it seemed as if he could hear his mourning at the time of his death. A scene only in a dream.

No, this is indeed a dream.Be sober, don't be confused, be sober.

Lu Mingfei slapped himself, his face hurt.

It was in this trance that two children ran past him, and he didn't even have time to see what they looked like. He only saw a boy with short hair and a girl with small hair, playing and beating. Nao's voice sounded so beautiful, it made him feel an emotion that was definitely not what Lu Mingfei should have felt in his heart.

With another slap, the red marks on Lu Mingfei's face became symmetrical, but these red marks were very shallow and were covered by scars and calluses. One can imagine that this version of Lu Mingfei must be extremely thick-skinned.

Lu Mingfei stood in the sand and let the red sun that had submerged the sand sea for half a round shine on him. He was sorting out his thoughts and thinking about what the current situation was like.First of all, it is clear that he has no children, let alone children, even his girlfriend has never had one.

He stared blankly at the red sunset in the desert in front of him. This was indeed a dream, but he didn't know the meaning and origin of this dream.This made him involuntarily put his hand on the handle of the alchemy revolver named "Texas Dawn".

The continuation of the dream is due to the subconscious activities of the dream owner. Things that you dare not think about during the day will appear in the dream. The way to stop these illusions is very simple. It is nothing more than ending your own activities in the dream. Nothing compares to a The .44 caliber bullet piercing through the jaw and blasting the brain all the way, blowing off the skull and soaring to the sky, can it wake up a person who is dreaming?
Lu Mingfei knew that this was the best answer to leave this dream, and a voice in his heart told him, yes, this is the answer to leave here, don't doubt it.

But there was another voice that kept him from rewarding himself with a burst of peanuts in his head so quickly. He vaguely felt that this dream was not just a dream, but what it meant, something deep hidden in it, that no one could understand. Everything that is understood has great meaning.

Just when Lu Mingfei's thumb was unconsciously stroking the handle of the gun that was still cold in the hot desert, a slightly cool hand stuck to the back of his hand, stopping him who might seem a little dangerous to outsiders. little tricks.

Lu Mingfei was slightly startled, turned around, and saw the woman who was close at hand.

They are so close, so close that one of them will always avoid his face shyly, neither Lu Mingfei nor the woman, the former is because she is trying to be calm, the latter is because she loves the man in front of him full of holes, She will only close in to fill those holes, there is no reason to escape, only immature girls will shyly avoid that passionate love, she has already passed that age of innocence.

"I'm still here." She looked at Lu Mingfei and said in a low voice.

Lu Mingfei saw himself and the reflection of the setting sun in her clear pupils, his expression was so bewildered, like a lost soul in the desert, and the woman in front of him was her guide.

His right hand left the holster unconsciously, and was held in that woman's hand. The cold feeling was transmitted from the scarred hand to the whole body. It's really strange to say that people always get warmth from holding each other. On the contrary, the feeling of coldness in the grip allows him to maintain his appearance and not be melted and disappeared by the heat of the desert.

Looking at each other so closely again, the short platinum hair, eyebrows and cheeks are closer to the cold and meticulous petite girl in the impression.But the other party has anomalous points that are absolutely impossible to overlap with the girl in his impression.

Lu Mingfei didn't want to be rude, he knew Zero, that beautiful Russian girl was definitely not so tall.

Lu Mingfei once secretly walked up to Zero and walked with her on purpose, and then used his own height as a benchmark to visually measure the height of Zero beside him, even though his little thought was discovered by Zero and he gave him a very unpleasant look in return. However, he still got the data he wanted.

1 meters, this is Zero's height. It seems that the bloodline awakened too early, and some unforeseen accidents occurred during the awakening. Zero's body was always fixed at the petite and beautiful 55-year-old, which means that even if she dies of old age, She will also freeze her age at this most beautiful moment when the buds are not in bloom.

But the woman next to Lu Mingfei is like a Russian beauty who has escaped the curse of frozen age and successfully grown up and bloomed.If the 14-year-old icy washboard queen grows up, she will probably look like this, with a height that makes people feel pressure without high heels, and a swan-like beauty that cannot be hidden by a scarf.The buds that once sprouted have grown into a beautiful tree that every man can climb up, and now the man sitting on the branch of this tree is called Lu Mingfei, that is, himself.

What kind of virtue and ability do I have? Lu Mingfei couldn't help thinking, even if the underage girl with the frozen age model walked with him, she was overwhelmed by the other party's aura like a follower, let alone the girl with the Yujie model. the other party.

But the beautiful woman in front of her did not have the arrogance and indifference that Lu Mingfei was familiar with. She also had the indifference of a Russian girl, but in front of Lu Mingfei, the indifference was very small. , she let go of all her protection, just to get closer to him, so that this man would not dissolve because of the hot and painful reality.

"You are very strange today, what's the matter? Can you tell me?" The woman stood beside Lu Mingfei and asked softly.

Lu Mingfei pursed his lips, which were so dry that even sand blown by the wind could not stick to them, "It's nothing, but I just didn't wake up."

".Dream about the past?" Her voice lowered.

Lu Mingfei didn't know whether to answer yes or no, he just kept silent, sometimes silence is the best answer, they will give the questioner the desired emotion.

"It's over," she said.

"Yes." Lu Mingfei replied.

Holding the crutch, she led Lu Mingfei to the single-family wooden house in the yellow sand of the setting sun. The sound of children beating their rice bowls sounded in the house. Lu Mingfei looked at the open door and felt a little emotional. He felt sad in his heart, but But I don't know where the sadness comes from. Is it because of the overall desolate environment and atmosphere at dusk and sunset?Or for something else, he didn't know, he wanted to know.

"If you really decide what to do... think about the children." The woman lowered her head and said lightly.

What are you going to do?What can he do and what should he do.Lu Mingfei silently sympathized with the suppressed emotions of the woman around him, so he wisely chose not to respond.

When they were about to walk to the door of the wooden house, Lu Mingfei suddenly stopped, his ears trembled slightly, and he turned his head and looked straight behind.

On the sand dunes where the two children played before, in the afterglow of the setting sun, a Greyhound bus roared its engine, its tires were flying yellow sand, and the window of the driver's cab was opened and a hand holding a green wine bottle was stretched out. From time to time, I draw it in and take a sip and then stick it out.

The melodious music came from the window from far to near. I have to say that this guy is quite tasteful. He was racing on the desert ruins and listening to the 20th century "popular hymn", the milestone "What a Wonderful World" in jazz, Louis Armstrong rolled over the yellow sand with his unique hoarse voice, which did not bring beauty and praise to this scene, but added the irony of depression and no more yesterday.

"Dad—Mum—what are you doing out there, we're so hungry—" Boys and girls giggled and voices shouted in unison from the open door of the cabin.

Hearing the sound of the child's door, for some reason, the veins on Lu Mingfei's forehead twitched slightly. Before he could react, he had already grasped the alchemy revolver in his hand, and the blood vessels all over his body The things that had already passed away with the past started to secrete again, driving the hot blood to the heart, feeding back the brain with the scorching heartbeat to mobilize dangerous emotions.

From the corner of his eye, Lu Mingfei noticed that the woman beside him also suddenly reached out and grabbed something in the front pocket of the apron. It should be a gun. The cooking apron carried a gun with him, which was in line with his impression. Russian girls, but this also shows the danger lurking in this desert, which will keep a mother with two children close to her body.

"Mingfei?"

Lu Mingfei heard the woman next to him call him, he subconsciously turned around, and found that the other person was staring at his face, he seemed a little surprised, to be precise, was the other person staring at his eyes intently?
Lu Mingfei didn't know what she was surprised about, and he didn't have time to check it out. He glanced at the woman's crutches and that inconvenient leg and said in a low voice, "You go in first, and I'll take care of it."

"You" the woman hesitated for a while, glanced at the Greyhound bus driving down the dune, and finally let go of the gun in the apron silently.

"Be careful and safe, call me if you can't handle it, don't carry it alone, don't forget, we are husband and wife." After she finished speaking, she turned and went back to the wooden house. After a while, the children's shouts stopped abruptly, There was silence in the wooden house.

Lu Mingfei didn't know what was going on at all. He stared at the fast approaching Greyhound bus and frowned. There was a voice in his heart telling him that no matter what was coming, he had to stand here to block him. , This is a sense of responsibility like a landslide, pressing down on his neck and shoulders, he has to stand up straight, and cannot take a step back.

The Greyhound bus started to slow down when it was 50 meters away from Lu Mingfei, and stopped slowly when it was 20 meters away. The air brake was released, and the cylinder exhaust made a loud puffing sound, and then the sound of the engine disappeared. , the melodious jazz stopped abruptly.The big car stopped in place, opened the door, and a man wearing a cowboy hat and a leather jacket got out of the door.

Lu Mingfei held down the alchemy revolver, which is his only reliance now. It may be because of the dream, the power of 'lunar eclipse', which is not like Lingling but better than Lingling, has stopped. bad news.

The man in the cowboy hat still held the green stick in his hand, and the liquid inside was still a little sinking. As he walked, it rose and fell on the bottle wall, and he walked straight towards Lu Mingfei, the cowboy The brim of the hat covered his lowered head so that his face could not be seen clearly.

"Stop." Lu Mingfei said coldly.

Lu Mingfei never thought that the adjective "coldly" would one day be adapted to him. If his life is a book with a million words, then this is probably the first time he has used such a cold and threatening tone. say a word?

But he felt that he had to be indifferent, even cold. The zero-like woman next to him just now passed by the two children who were calling his father in the room, even if he knew that all of this had nothing to do with his 19-year-old life. It doesn't matter to Mingfei, but somewhere in the dark he feels that now that he is standing here, he has to bear all the consequences. He has to be ruthless, even chilling.

Sure enough, the man in the cowboy hat stopped under Lu Mingfei's scolding. He lowered his eyes and saw that the trigger of the alchemy revolver in the opponent's shadow that could penetrate the bone cage of the next-generation heart had been lightly touched. If you rush forward more than three steps, the opponent will really shoot you in the head.

He never doubted the ruthlessness and determination of the man in front of him. After going through so many things, the boy with a hippie smile has disappeared, leaving only a cold, even violent dragon slayer. But now Even the identity of the dragon slayer has been washed away by the torrent, what else exists in his body to support him to live in this world?

No matter what it is, the former "Final Dragon Slayer" has now touched his weapon. Even if it is not the double swords he is proud of, a shot fired by the legendary alchemy revolver in a serious state, even Even he wasn't sure he could escape.

Even if the other party has been silent for a long time, lost his mission and past and buried himself in this yellow sand for a long time, he doesn't want to bet that when the light of dawn in Texas falls on him again, whether he will become the victim of dawn. Torn night.

But the other party is willing to chat with me instead of calling when they meet. This seems to be an unexpected gain from this trip?

The appearance of this scene now is much easier than I imagined. He had already prepared his stomach in advance to prepare for being severely injured in the unilateral beating, and then acted with emotion and reason before the other party killed him. Now Seems like a lot of work saved.

Under Lu Mingfei's gaze, the man in the cowboy hat gradually raised his hands to show that he was not malicious, "I thought your condition would be worse, but it seems that the situation is much better than I thought."

acquaintance?Lu Mingfei heard some information from the other party's words, but not much, so he chose to remain silent in the usual way.

"I know, I know, I shouldn't have come to you, but listen, since I came to you at the risk of being killed by you, you should know that I do have something important to tell you." Cowboy hat The man's mouth seemed to be broken, and his tone was loose and loose. He tentatively took a step forward, and then stopped instantly, because he heard the metal collision sound of the alchemy revolver pulling out the holster and the hammer being broken.

"Okay, I'll just stand here." The man in the cowboy hat is a handsome man who knows the times, raised his hands a few centimeters again, buried his head low, and lowered his posture, "This is your home, I know you He Ling already has a child, and I have no chance to give you a red envelope or something. If I remember correctly, according to the custom in your place before Genesis, you really have to give a red envelope when a child is born, right?"

"It's not when the child is born, it's when the child is [-] days old that the red envelope will be given." Lu Mingfei corrected subconsciously.

The expression of the cowboy hat man under the brim was stunned for a moment, and then there was a hint of joy, because he originally thought that the old friend he met today would be stranger than he imagined, but he did not expect that the other party still expressed his willingness to communicate in a few words the meaning of.

"Actually, I really don't want to come to you, but I think you have other responsibilities besides the responsibility of taking care of the children." The man in the cowboy hat said, "I drove the broken car behind me for thousands of kilometers. It took more than half a year to go through all kinds of dangerous restricted areas, and finally put together the information about your fragments. I found you here, and I can risk my life to ensure that I am not following any tails behind me, hunting Or I threw it to the ogre colony there when I was passing through the swamp. So you sure you don't invite me, an old friend, into your house for a warm bite?"

old friend.

Lu Mingfei moved his mind, raised the muzzle of the gun and said, "Raise your head, let me see your face."

The man in the cowboy hat shrugged his shoulders and slowly raised his head. With the last ray of red sun on the sandy slope, the face of the old man covered with beard and wrinkled and vicissitudes of life was illuminated.

"Damn it, Finger, why is it you?" Lu Mingfei's cold demeanor was instantly unstoppable, no matter how vicissitudes the face not far away, no matter how sparse the stubble was, he could still recognize that face. Without a serious aura of lowliness, this guy is definitely Finger, just a good-for-nothing brother who has been sanded by yellow sand and time as sandpaper.

The man in the cowboy hat was also stunned, and looked at Lu Mingfei hesitantly, "I said, Master Lu Mingfei, are you okay?"

"Of course I'm fine, are you okay?" Lu Mingfei pushed back subconsciously.

"I'm fine, I can come and look for that." The old man who called himself Fingel had a strange expression on his face, and looked Lu Mingfei up and down, "Don't tell me that you haven't recognized me since I got off the car?"

Lu Mingfei really wanted to say that with your fucking outfit and that voice that sounded like eating Dolan, I can recognize you as a ghost. Anyway, you used to be in a decadent style of literary youth, but now you have evolved. He has become a decadent cowboy old man. Although both are decadent, the two have no connection at all, okay?
"I've been a little confused lately." Lu Mingfei put down the gun and put it in the holster and explained vaguely, "What are you doing here?"

Fingel didn't speak, and looked at the man in front of him again, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but after a while he suppressed his emotions, raised his eyebrows and said, "Just like I said just now, I have something important to ask you to hell , I can smell the scent wafting from your back, your family is already cooking? I should be able to catch up with the dishwashing water now, right? I haven’t eaten anything solid for two days.”

"Dishwashing water is also liquid, and you have to wash the dishes after drinking the dishwashing water." Lu Mingfei subconsciously rebuked him.

No matter which version of Fingel is infected with some kind of virus, no matter how the appearance changes, the core is still the good-for-nothing senior brother who started talking weirdly after meeting him.

This eased Lu Mingfei's inexplicable tension in this unknown environment, but what he didn't know was that his own attitude and reaction caused Fingel, who was opposite him, to instantly drop a big stone in his heart.

"So. Is there anything between us?" But Fingel still didn't come up easily, because he didn't get Lu Mingfei's affirmative permission.

Lu Mingfei also noticed Finger's fear and estrangement, as if the other party was afraid that he would turn against him at any time and shoot him or something. Is he such a person?With the relationship between him and Fingel, what happened to keep the other party at such a distance.

"Let's go. I don't think she would mind having an extra mouth." Lu Mingfei tried to agree first. He was actually not sure what the attitude of the Yujie version of Zero in the room was towards Finger, but It's not a problem to be so stubborn all the time, it's better to be bold and bring people in, and see if you can get a little bit of the current situation out of their conversations.

I don't know why, no matter where he is or what the situation is, Lu Mingfei has an inexplicable trust in Finger, maybe this is really the same as those people joked, there is always a sympathy between waste materials and waste materials, There is no intrigue, and they will even jump in front of each other before the fire and burn it up. The last words on their deathbed are probably: Hey!Look, I said that my fire must be stronger than yours!

A paradoxical sense of trust, but Lu Mingfei is willing to trust his intuition.

"Then bother Lu Mingfei, it seems that you have changed a lot in these years." The old man-like Fingel said in a low voice, "I am very happy to see you come out a little bit. Although it is redundant, I I still have to say... It is not your responsibility to stop him, it is everyone's responsibility."

After saying this earnestly, Fingel found that Lu Mingfei's expression still hadn't changed much, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked over, and patted him heavily on the shoulder when he turned sideways, "Long time no see, Old friend, I am very glad that you are still alive and congratulations, happy newlyweds, I hope this blessing will not be too late." After speaking, he pulled the brim of his hat, and then walked towards the door of the wooden house.
