The road is long, take it and cherish it

Wednesday morning, March 3nd.

Hou Yue went to the store as usual and started her day's work.

However, I was stopped by the traffic police on my way to the store on a battery scooter.

The reason was that he was not wearing a helmet, and he was fined and scolded. As expected, he was late for work again.

When we arrived at the office, everyone had already finished the morning meeting, and they were eating there in twos and threes.

There was no sign of the leader, so he probably went out to eat and escaped disaster.

He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He had been late frequently recently.

He silently adjusted his alarm clock for getting up in the morning.

Then he made a cup of milk and oatmeal, took two sips, and started his formal work today.

Although the few customers I have on hand have basically been scrapped.

However, Hou Yue still believes that as long as he works hard, he will succeed. The several houses he sold before were also the result of hard work.

As the phone calls came one after another, he drank glass after glass of water until his mouth was dry, and no one was willing to come out to look at the house.

I took a look at the time. It was past eleven o'clock. Let's order takeout and have it delivered to home. I could also take a nap after eating.

A few minutes later, he received a call from his colleague, asking for help to borrow the keys. He had a client who wanted to see the house.

Hou Yue thought to herself that you were really good at picking the time, so she rushed to another company on her bicycle to borrow the key and send it to him.

On the way back from the delivery, it was almost 12 o'clock. Why don't I go back to the store to pick up something and go back to eat? The takeout happened to be arriving soon.

At this time, his cell phone rang again.

He picked up his phone and looked at it. The person he was calling on WeChat was a grandmother he didn't know very well. She often came to his store to charge his battery car and print things. He knew her and had helped her a few times.

Hou Yue answered the WeChat call and heard grandma's voice.

"Xiao Hou, grandma made braised pork for lunch and brought some to the store for you. Come and get some."

"No, no, grandma, you are too polite. Eat more yourself."

"I have it, I have it, I've eaten it all. There's still more. I'll bring you some. You must come here. Don't waste it."

After some refusals, Hou Yue was still defeated and expressed helplessness.

"Okay, okay, grandma, I'll come over and get it later. Thank you for your kindness."

At twelve o'clock, Hou Yue took a small lunch box sent by her grandma and returned to her residence.

When we arrived at the door of the house, the takeaway we ordered earlier was already hanging on the door handle.

Looking at the two portions of rice in his hands, he smiled helplessly.

"I can't eat so much food, but I can't waste it either."

He returned to his small room with two meals. After thinking about it, he put the takeout aside and opened it. The lunch box made by grandma himself contained braised pork + Chinese cabbage, and rice. There was also a lunch box next to it. There was a plastic bag containing three or four duck feet.

He ate it with relish. It was not bad, but the meat was too sweet and a bit greasy. After eating more than half of it, he couldn't eat it anymore.

Hou Yue took out a duck paw and nibbled a little. As expected, it was so spicy.

Forget it, I'd better stop eating it now and cook instant noodles later depending on the situation.

Hou Yue poured the uneaten food in the lunch box into the trash can, washed the lunch box, and prepared to take it back to her grandma later.

As for the unopened takeaway, how about eating it at night?

I don't know if I can still eat it by then. What a waste. With all kinds of thoughts, Hou Yue fell asleep in a daze.

When he woke up again, it was already [-]:[-], and the alarm clock set on his mobile phone woke him up.

After getting up, Hou Yue felt a sense of weakness and dry mouth. She drank two glasses of water in a row before she felt better.

He didn't think much about it. He was probably too tired recently and went back to work.

He hurried back to the company with his mobile phone lunch box. When he returned to the store, he didn't see his grandma. It seemed that he had gone to the Christian church not far away.

Find a place and sit down.

After a few minutes, he still felt weak all over. He couldn't sit still, and it was difficult to stand up.

He thought for a while and wondered if his body was already so weak?

No way, he got up and poured a glass of hot water. As he passed the door, a breeze blew.

Hou Yue felt her whole body tremble. There was a heat seeping out of her body, and her body was alternately hot and cold.

There is a feeling that the body wants to sweat outside, but actually there is nothing.

His feet softened and he took a step back. He stood there holding on to the table. It took 2 minutes to stabilize his body and prevent him from falling to the ground.

He walked back to his seat silently, holding a cup of water to keep warm. He attributed the changes in his body to the deterioration of his physical fitness caused by staying up late recently, and he should be fine after a while.

Just like that, more than an hour passed, and he felt that his physical condition was getting worse and worse. His head ached, his whole body was weak, and his heart was beating fast.

He slumped down in the chair. It can't go on like this. How can he work in this state? He thought feebly, why don't he go back and take some medicine.

Just do what you say, eat early and enjoy the good morning, Hou Yue, with strong energy and slow steps, rode back to his residence.

When he returned to his residence and saw the warm bed, he couldn't help but lie down on it and cover his whole body with a quilt. Only then did he feel better.

A few minutes later, he boiled the water and was about to make some medicine to drink when his cell phone rang.

Enduring my headache, I picked up my phone and saw a call from my colleague. It was answered.

"Hello? Is there something wrong?"

"Hou Yue, I'm going to see the house on the first floor of Tongjiaqiao Community that you maintain in a few minutes. Please help me make an appointment."

Hou Yue shook his confused head.

"The landlord, who lives there by himself, should be at home."

"I don't want it, so you can make an appointment for me."

The colleague on the other end of the phone replied impatiently.

"Okay, okay, I'll call the landlord to confirm."

After saying that, Hou Yue hung up the phone, found the landlord's mobile phone number and dialed it. One minute passed, but no one answered.

It's strange, why didn't this person answer my call? Hou Yue was speechless. He opened WeChat again, found the landlord's WeChat, edited the text, stated his intention, and sent it.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes passed, no one responded.

It's so annoying. One by one, I'm helping you sell your house. Can't you just cooperate a little bit?

He couldn't help but shook his head in pain, feeling that his mental state was getting worse and worse.

He made another WeChat call, and this time the response was quick. In less than two seconds, he was hung up...

He was speechless, so it wasn't that he didn't see it, but he just didn't want to pick it up, right?

This damn job, these bastards call us here and there when they need us, and don't even bother to answer the phone when we don't. It's really infuriating.

At this time, Hou Yue's cell phone rang again, and it was the same colleague who answered the call.

A colleague's question came from the other end of the phone.

"How's it going? Are you sure? Is the landlord at home?"

Hou Yue was silent for two seconds and said: "The landlord didn't answer the phone and didn't reply on WeChat. I'm not sure now."

"Then go knock on the door and confirm! Don't delay my client's viewing of the house."

The colleague on the other end of the phone said anxiously.

"Okay, okay, wait for me to drink some medicine first, and then I'll go."

Hou Yue said weakly.

"Ah? Why are you still drinking medicine at this time? Forget it, I'll knock on the door myself. You are really unreliable. Even the landlord can't fix it even if you look at the house."

The colleague on the other end of the phone hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Hou Yue looked at the mobile phone and medicine in her hand and was speechless for a long time. In the end, she just threw the mobile phone on the bed and sighed, this is life.

After drinking the medicine, I sat on the bed for a while and felt a little better, but I was still a little chilly.

He found a winter coat and put it on, and it felt like it wasn't so cold anymore. You know, it's already early summer at this time.

Riding my bicycle, I rushed to the store again, passing by Tongjiaqiao Community to see if the landlord was at home.

When he was approaching Tongjiaqiao Community, his cell phone rang again.

Stopping the car, he answered the call. It was from his store manager.

"Hello? What's wrong? Wu Dian, what do you want from me?"

"Xiao Hou, where are you now?"

"I'm almost there on my way back to the store."

"Oh oh oh, I see you, don't leave where you are, I'm coming."

After Wu Dian finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Hou Yue waited for a while and saw Wu Dian running out from the Tongjiaqiao Community next door and ran to his side.

"I got through the landlord's phone number. The landlord went out again, but the key was left with Xiao Liu from Pacific Real Estate in Xiangyi Flower City. You can go over and borrow it now. Thank you for your hard work."

Hou Yue nodded, indicating that he understood.

"I'm going to borrow the key right now."

Hou Yue rode his bike and rushed there quickly. The wind along the way made him feel a headache again.

However, business matters are important, so I can only endure it for now.

In less than 10 minutes, Hou Yue returned to Tongjiaqiao Community with the key and opened the door.

After letting their client go in and view the room as he wished, Hou Yue squatted at the door, feeling like stars were shining in his eyes and feeling uncomfortable all over.

He raised his head and glanced at the closed door. It's funny to say that he has been maintaining this house for half a year, and has made appointments to view the house more than a dozen times with colleagues and clients.

When the landlord was living at home, he made an appointment to view the property, but he never went in.

When the landlord was not at home, he got the key for the client, but he never went in.

But now doesn't seem to be the time to think about such nonsense.

I don’t know if this client is accurate and can sell this house.

A few minutes later, the room door opened. Hou Yue quickly stood up straight. His colleague walked out with the client with a smile on his face. Without even looking at Hou Yue, he said something and went to look at other houses.

Hou Yue glanced inside the room, made sure that the lights and windows were closed, and then closed the door.

He said hello to the leader who came out from behind, then rode his bike to return the keys.

It took more than ten minutes to go back and forth. When Hou Yue returned to the store, other colleagues were already busy.

This industry is like this. If you don't work, you will starve to death. Of course, before you starve to death, you may be eliminated by the company. After all, the company does not support idle people.

After finding a seat and sitting down, what next is to call the customer? Or go out and send out orders?

Hou Yue just wanted to make a call, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt nauseous.

He quickly reached for the water glass, but he found that his hand was shaking uncontrollably. This...

After taking a sip of the cold water, he rode back to his residence again. Something was wrong, something was wrong, something was wrong with his body.

When he returned to his residence, he went straight to the bathroom. When he came to the bathroom, he held the cold sink with both hands.

A chill rushed straight to his forehead. He dropped his head, bent his waist, and vomited it out.

This process lasted 5 minutes.

Hou Yue reluctantly held on to the sink, feeling that her feet were weak and her whole body was weak, but after vomiting, she felt a little better.

He wiped his mouth, rinsed it, brushed his teeth, then left the bathroom, came to the room, and took a sip of steaming water.

For a moment, it felt alive again.

After sitting on the bed for a few more minutes, he rode his bike again and went back to work.

After arriving at the office, Hou Yue found a seat at the front desk and sat down, silently making a phone call.

The beating lasted for more than two hours. In fact, during this period, Hou Yue could feel that her body still had not fully recovered.

However, it is still tolerable.

However, during these two hours of phone calls, there was not a single useful customer.

I'm basically used to it. If it doesn't work, I'll prepare to go out and hand out orders. It's already around five o'clock now, and I can go to eat after a while.

However, it seems that I have no appetite.

He took the order he had made earlier and walked out of the store. At first, he had been sitting on the phone and didn't feel anything. Now he stood up and took two steps. Coupled with the cold wind outside, Hou Yue felt that The feeling of powerlessness came over again, and it was stronger than before!

Hou Yue didn't take a few steps before she got on the battery car again and returned to her residence.

He couldn't remember how many times he came back today, and he was not in the mood to think about it.

When he returned to his residence, he went straight to the bathroom again and vomited. This time, he vomited so much that he rolled his eyes before he could stop.

His weak body sat slumped on the bathroom floor, breathing heavily.

Something's wrong, even if my body is weak, it's not like this. Did I eat something unclean to make me like this...

Hou Yue sat on the ground and calmed down for a while, then slowly got up, cleaned the sink, rinsed her mouth, brushed her teeth and washed her face again.

At this time, it was already past five o'clock. Although it was not time to eat yet, Hou Yue couldn't care so much anymore. He set an alarm clock for 06:30, lay down and wrapped himself in a quilt, and fell asleep painfully.

In fact, it's wrong to say he was asleep. For more than an hour, he was in a state of half-dream and half-awake. In his dream, he seemed to have dreamed a lot, but when he woke up, he couldn't remember anything, and the pillow was covered with sweat.

Disturbed by the alarm clock, he opened his eyes with difficulty and climbed up. He wanted to reach for the water glass, but halfway through, he gave up.

Because he felt something stuck in his chest and it was uncomfortable, he quickly got up and ran to the bathroom.

Arriving at the familiar sink, Hou Yue looked at her pale face in the mirror, lowered her head and vomited.

After vomiting, the stomach was already empty, and a lot of stomach acid was vomited out.

He felt a throbbing pain in his stomach. He held his stomach feebly and sat on the ground.

With dull eyes, he counted down the sins he had committed in the first half of his life.

A few years ago, when I was in college, I secretly cut my roommate's internet cable.

When I was in high school, I stole a pack of snacks from my classmate.

In junior high school, because he had a crush on a girl, he went against her every day to attract her attention. Of course, he would be chased most of the time.

And when I was in elementary school, I would fight with people all day long.

and also……

After a while, he raised his head and glanced at his hands. I felt like I was thinking about whether I was going to die. I started to recall the past. It wasn't so.

A few minutes later, after Hou Yue finished vomiting, she felt better again.

He stood up and patted his butt. It turned out that he was overthinking just now. How could I be so lucky and so lucky to be so cold?

Bah, bah, bah, you can't milk yourself like this. He returned to the room while muttering to himself.

He took a sip of hot water and felt a little hungry, but he didn't want to eat. This was a contradiction.

After a while, he rode his bike to work again...

When they arrived at the store, Hou Yue felt like the world was spinning before she even entered the store. Her vision went dark and she almost fell to the ground.

However, Hou Yue still walked into the store with force, came to the seat and sat down. He just sat there. He wanted to move his hands to operate the computer, but he couldn't find the strength, and his energy was extremely depressed.

Manager Wu happened to come back at this time and saw Hou Yue wrapped in a coat with a very bad look on her face.

Manager Wu asked: "Xiao Hou, are you feeling unwell? If so, you can just punch in and go back to rest."

Hou Yue raised her dull eyes and looked at Wu Dian, and he shook his head.

You're fine, you should be fine after a while, just fine.

Wu Dian observed for a while, and after a while he said again: "If you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest. You won't be able to work like this, right?"

Hou Yue originally wanted to refuse, but his body no longer allowed him to refuse.

He thought about it and nodded.

"Okay, I'd better go back first. This head really hurts a lot."

After saying that, Hou Yue stood up shakily with her cell phone in hand, and rode back to her residence.

He rode very slowly along the way, because the world in front of him was sometimes black and sometimes white, and the moon in the sky was even blood-red in his eyes. This time, he was really scared...

Finally, Hou Yue returned to his residence. Without thinking, he lay on the bed, wrapped himself in a quilt, covered his head, and fell asleep deeply.

A few minutes later, he woke up, sat up, looked at his hands, and felt his pulse.

"Let me go, are you so cruel? This poison is too perverted. If you are really dead, you can't even find it out. Fortunately, my body has strong resistance. If you put it on a normal person, this little poison will last for 1 minute. I can’t even resist it.”

Hou Yue held her chin with her hand and thought.

However, my body is almost reaching its limit. What should I do now? I don’t have any medical skills either...

Hou Yue thought for a while, stood up and walked out of the room, stood on the balcony of the living room, took out her mobile phone and dialed a number. The phone rang three times and was connected. A rough man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hey?"

Hou Yue held on to the railing with one hand and held her mobile phone in the other, and said lightly: "Well, who is that? I'm sorry to forget your name, but the situation is more urgent now. I remember you said you owed me a favor. How about you do it now?"

"If you encounter any trouble, I will help you within my ability."

The man hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.

"Okay, okay, this is what I've been waiting for. Why don't you take your... sweetheart with you now and come to No. 31, No. 201, Tianci Garden? I've been poisoned and I need her help to cure it." Hou Yue said immediately.

"Well, okay, we'll be there soon."

After the man finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Hou Yue walked back to the room, opened the door outside as she passed by, and returned to the room. Hou Yue sat cross-legged on the bed, closed her eyes, and whispered the Heart-Cleaning Mantra in her mouth, silently reciting in her heart, hoping it would be too late.

Not long after, Hou Yue's door was opened from the outside. The people who came were none other than Wei Wuwei and the old woman in black whom Hou Yue had met a few days ago.

But now she is obviously tall, wearing a sexy black silk hip-hugging skirt and high heels, looking like an elite female secretary in the workplace.

Hou Yue turned her back to the two of them and said with difficulty: "You are finally here. Half a moment later, I died. Can you see if you can cure my poison?"

Wei Wuwei took a step forward and put a hand on Hou Yue's neck.

After a few seconds, he took his hand away and looked at the woman behind him who was looking at her fingernails.

"Ji, his condition is very serious. Come over and see if it can be cured."

The woman waved her hand impatiently and walked forward without saying a word. In fact, she was also very curious about what kind of poison could put the person in front of her in such a desperate situation that she would ask a bad guy like herself for help.

She stretched out her snow-white hand and put a finger on Hou Yue's neck. After a few seconds, she agreed to withdraw her hand. She wrinkled her delicate brows and said, "Who gave you this poison? It's so cruel. With Compared to this, arsenic and Hedinghong are weak, okay?"

Hou Yue curled her lips and looked speechless.

"Thank you for the compliment. Why don't you tell me if it can be cured? I'm more concerned about this now."

"Of course it can be cured. There is no poison in this world that I can't cure. A woman puffs up her chest with confidence. But, young master, aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to kill you?"

Hou Yue said eagerly: "If you can cure it, cure it quickly! I can cooperate with you in any way you need. Otherwise, you don't need to take the opportunity. I will die soon."

"Tch, you are such a boring man. Why don't you just cooperate with me and pretend to be panicked and hesitant? You are such a stinky man without any interest. Okay, okay, relax your body, don't resist, and open your mouth."

The woman said, tapping her fingers quickly on Hou Yue's back, and then slapped Hou Yue's heart hard with her palm.

Hou Yue's eyes widened, and he leaned forward, spitting out a mouthful of black blood. The black blood was in mid-air, and was introduced into a jade bottle in the hand by the woman with a finger from the air, and was put away.

The woman glanced at Hou Yue and carefully put away the jade bottle.

"It's almost cured. Most of the poison in your body has been forced out. There is only a little bit left. Drink more hot water and slowly dispel it by yourself."

Hou Yue stood up and turned around, looked at the two people behind him, thought for a while and said, "Thank you, but there is really no magic pill. Can you give me a supplement? I still feel weak."

"No, the woman refused. If there is such a thing, I won't give it to you. You are thinking nonsense."

"Can you be a little more civilized? This is inconsistent with your current image. We were living in harmony just now. Hou Yue covered her forehead and said, forget it, forget it, forget it. The hot water is also good. , speaking of which, can you see that it was that bastard who poisoned me? I provoked whom."

The woman covered her mouth and smiled and said, "That's not clear. Who knows about poison? Right, it's nothing, so we'll leave first, and then we'll be clear."

Hou Yue waved her hand helplessly.

"Okay, okay, let's clear things up."

The woman turned around and prepared to leave.

"However, Hou Yue's voice came faintly, remember to be a good person..."

The woman paused and left quickly without saying anything.

Hou Yue looked at Wei Wuwei who was standing there and asked, "Do you have anything else?"

Wei Wuwei hesitated for a while and then said, "I want to ask you a question, is that okay?"

Hou Yue waved her hand indifferently, "You guys saved me today, just ask if you have any questions."

I have been observing your every move during this period. Wei Wuwei said: "You are very strange. You usually seem... just like an ordinary person. You can even be said to be a relatively unlucky ordinary person."

Hou Yue curled her lips and replied: "I am an ordinary person. I am not as powerful as you. I can punch through mountains with one punch, and I can fly over walls. I still look like a middle-aged man after being hundreds of years old."

Hearing Hou Yue's answer, Wei Wuwei was speechless for a moment, then thought for a while and continued: "But, you are very special."

"What's special there?" Hou Yue asked.

"The feeling you give me now is very special," Wei Wuwei continued: "I can't see through you now, as if you were staring into the abyss, which is scary. Even just now, I clearly felt that you were about to die. It’s the same feeling.”

"So you want to ask my secret?"

"Although I am very curious, I want to ask another question today. Wei Wuwei calmed down and said, I want to ask, can she still be saved?"

"Oh? You mean her?" Hou Yue looked in the direction where the woman just left.

"Yes! Wei Wuwei nodded. She grew up with me. She traveled in the current situation because of problems with her cultivation. Before I met you, I was already desperate, but I feel that you might be able to It helped me!”

Hou Yue shook her head helplessly.

"It's really sincere and enviable. It's a pity that I have to ask you for help even with the poison on my body. Do you think too highly of me? However, I thought about it temporarily and found that there is a way to cure it. "

"Really?"

Wei Wuwei walked forward excitedly and stared into Hou Yue's eyes excitedly.

"If, if you can cure her, so that she no longer needs to suck the lives of others...I can give you whatever you want, even my life."

Hou Yue waved her hand.

"Why would I want to kill you when I have nothing to do? If I read it correctly, she is suffering from a mental illness. She must have experienced some things that have caused some changes in her skills. If you want to completely solve it, it is easy, just throw away her entire cultivation. , just start over from scratch.”

"This..." Wei Wuwei hesitated.

It's not that he hasn't thought of this method before, it's just...

Seeing his hesitation, Hou Yue continued to speak: "You saved me today, so I would like to give you one more advice. You may not have noticed that she is now entangled in karma, and she may have backlash from those who were harmed by her at any time. If it weren't for you This awe-inspiring aura protects her all day long. She has died long ago. The long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain. She can cultivate again, but she only has one life."

"Okay, learned."

After hearing this, Wei Wuwei turned around and prepared to leave.

Hou Yue looked at his back and added.

"Also, if you are really willing to start over from scratch, you can come to me then and I can do my best."

"Okay, thank you, sir, we will consider it." Wei Wuwei said and left.

Hou Yue nodded happily, turned around and returned to the room, lay down on the bed and covered herself with a quilt.

I hope they can listen.

Oh, by the way, and that bastard who poisoned me, he almost killed me.

Let me find it, I won't scold him to death. After thinking for a moment, he closed his eyes and fell asleep...

Not long after, he opened his eyes again speechlessly, looked at the dark room, and sighed, he couldn't live this day.

Why do you want to meddle in someone's business who is beyond your reach?

It's too late now. Can't I take a break as I just came back from hell?

I really can’t stand myself!

Asshole!
