Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

Cousin Zhao Jing called and said that the branch of the school next door has opened successfully, and the business is not bad. The few interns are doing well, and they will be completely let go in a few days. My cousin lowered her voice and complained that there were too many people, and it was a bit of a waste of wages. . Gao Hongda advised her: "Don't show this kind of thinking. We are still seriously short of manpower. It would be a joke if these five people ran away!"

When I called Liu Meng to ask about the recruitment of delivery staff, I got a few cold words, "You don't have to worry about it." It really put him in a pinch, as he originally wanted to have a private conversation.

Suddenly I remembered that there was a lottery ticket that I had not redeemed yet, so I got on the bus and left the school and went to the lottery station to check the lottery results. The owner of the lottery station has hung up a red banner that reads, "This station offers a 2 million sports lottery and a 500 million welfare lottery double color ball jackpot."

Gao Hongda was a little surprised that Zhu Qiuting was not present today. Could it be that this young man had starved to death? Or maybe he won a big prize and ran away? There are so many people in the store, and the boss is as grinning as his waistband. Business is good, who wouldn’t be happy? Everyone was talking about it, and someone said to the boss: "The winner bought the lottery ticket from you, and you didn't get a share of 10?"

The owner of the lottery station shook his head and smiled indifferently: "That doesn't make sense. Whoever wins the lottery is someone else's luck. Doesn't it mean that if you give birth to twins in the hospital, you have to leave a child to the hospital as a thank you?"

Everyone praised the boss for his good attitude. Suddenly, the boss slammed the table and shouted: "Holy shit, shit, shit, who won again? Guess the score of Football Lottery Serie A, guess the score, all won. The prize for this period is more than 3 million. , there is also a double-color ball, one bet for the first prize, four bets for the second prize, which adds up to more than 600 million, who is it? Who is it? "

A group of people rushed over to see the good news with fireworks flashing on the screen inside the counter. Some people speculated that the guy who used the computer to record the numbers must have successfully cracked the winning rules. He has not dared to come for the past two days and must have claimed the prize. Some people even hung their heads and paused, regretting not buying that crazy number information.

Only Gao Hongda was leaning against the door frame, with a very painful expression on his face, holding his backpack firmly on his chest. At this moment, he felt weak all over, as if tens of thousands of kilograms of iron were pressed in his chest and he couldn't breathe. A fishy-sweet stuff pushed up from bottom to top, and finally spurted out in one mouthful. It was blood covered with foam. He tried to dial a number with his mobile phone, but nothing happened. Unable to exert even a trace of strength, he slipped along the wall and fell to the ground.

Yes, the winner is himself, and he wins again! And it was the number given by Zhu Qiuting, the young man from Mi Tai. When he saw the winning numbers clearly, he began to feel inexplicably uncomfortable. Even if he tried to hold on, it was of no use, and he finally fell down.

Dark, there was darkness all around. He seemed to be attracted by something, and he walked in a direction in a daze. Many people with expressionless faces like him around him lowered their heads and moved slowly. There was a small bright spot in front of them. Beyond that, it's all darkness.

The person in front was sucked into the bright spot and disappeared. When he walked near the bright light, he seemed to be torn into pieces by the strong wind. When he could see things clearly again, the scene in front of him was unusually peaceful. His grandfather, who had been dead for many years, sat in the willow tree by the pond with a cigarette in his mouth. Underneath is a basket made of perilla and acacia strips. This is the person who loves him the most. When he was a child, he spent countless days with his grandfather weaving baskets. The next day, his grandfather would put it in the basket and load it on a cart to go to the market. When he came back from selling baskets in the market, he would buy a pound of melon seeds, which he especially loved. He would often put a rope on his young shoulders to help his grandfather pull the cart. Those days were simple and happy, but since his grandfather died of a serious illness, happiness left him, and he lived to adulthood amidst the beatings and scoldings of his parents.

At this moment, Grandpa looked up to see him coming, and reached out to touch his head. Just like when he was a child, his grandfather's face was still as kind as before. He asked him if he was thirsty, and he nodded and said yes. Grandpa poured water from the white porcelain kettle beside him into the large porcelain bowl. The water seemed to have sugar in it. Hongda, who was holding the water, felt that he was even thirstier. He approached the bowl and was about to take a sip when suddenly a sound like an explosion came: Don't drink!

Grandpa suddenly became extremely ferocious. He completely changed into a different person. He stretched out his hand that was all white and held the bowl to pour water into his mouth. A red light shot out and the water bowl fell to the ground. He lowered his head and saw that the water spilled out of the bowl. Where there is water, there is something like yellow mud, with disgusting maggots squirming in it. The grandfather in front of me is hideous and terrifying. This is not my grandfather. He is clearly a Yaksha with a green face and an angry look. The Yaksha glanced at the red The figure slowly disappeared from the direction of the light, and Gao Hongda felt like he was falling into darkness again.

In a daze, a lotus flower appeared on the ground not far in front of me. There were weak candles burning on the seven petal tips. It was like a hanging lantern. No one was holding it, but it was moving in one direction.

The powerful voice just now came through the air again: Don't look back if you want to survive.

The commanding tone made him move quickly with the light involuntarily, and a string of iron chains suddenly appeared from the ground, tightly wrapped around his feet, dragging his feet tightly, preventing him from moving even half a minute. Countless vicious dogs with flashing red eyeballs appeared around him, grinning with their teeth and mouths dripping blood, roaring and running towards him, trying to tear him apart.

Suddenly, a big black dog jumped out, without a trace of hair on his body, bit off the iron chain on his feet, and protected him by his side, so that the vicious dogs did not dare to approach. After a moment of confrontation, the big black dog suddenly jumped into the group of dogs and bit them together.

Taking advantage of this gap, Gao Hongda quickly continued to run forward.

Grandpa's familiar voice came from behind, this time it seemed old and weak: "Xiao Da, come back and help grandpa pull the car, grandpa can't pull it anymore!"

He paused for a moment, then immediately covered his ears, enduring the heartache and continued walking forward, but the sound could be transmitted into his ears through his hands. He did not dare to look back. He chose to believe that for no reason. A strange and powerful voice.

A few toothless old ladies crawled around the lotus lanterns in front of them, trying to blow out the seven candles with their mouths flattened. The wind blowing out of their little mouths was as violent as a typhoon. If it swayed left and right, it was still extremely strong, and gradually The dog also became unsustainable, six of them were extinguished one after another, and the last one saw only a little light as big as a bean. The big black dog with no stray hairs jumped out again, covered in blood, and rushed forward. , fought with those old ladies, and although the candlelight was saved, the big black dog was torn into pieces.

Just when fear and despair once again enveloped his body, a clear gong sounded, which cheered him up. After the gong sounded, his mother's voice came from far away: Xiaoda, my son, come back quickly.

After another gong sounded, the father's voice also came out: Come back soon, son, dad won't beat you anymore.

This sound kept coming, causing him to use up all his strength to run wildly. He felt his body getting heavier and heavier, and finally lost strength and fell to the ground. Suddenly, a loud rooster crow came, and the sky gradually became brighter, and the attacks continued. Howling with all his strength, Gao Hongda saw a tall figure in the bright light. It was a rooster with a red crown and golden legs. He was the most beautiful rooster in the world.

The light in front of him became more and more dazzling, and the sounds in his ears became more real. There were several hands shaking around his body. He still felt thirsty and tried hard to say: "Can you stop shaking me? I'm about to fall apart. Where's the water? There was smoke coming out of my mouth.”

Then the sound of cheers came. He opened his eyes and looked around. His parents looked at him with bloodshot eyes. There were people standing around him, including Li Jie, Luo Jianqiang, Lao Bi, the Dream trio, and a strange face. The person's appearance is very strange, and his eyes are scary enough. They are one big and one small. The eyelid of the big eye can no longer be covered, and the small one is wrapped by drooped eyelids, as if it can't be opened. The shoulders are also high on one side and low on the other. He is wearing a yellow, used robe. This man looks like he is in his 50s. His face is tired at the moment, he is sweating profusely and he is still breathing heavily.

Gao Hongda was lying on the hospital bed, with the lotus lantern he had seen in his coma placed at his feet. Only one candle was still on at the moment. Under the lamp, a dog with no mottled colors and a body that was completely black stood upright. The pillow A big rooster next to it flapped its wings vigorously, and then kicked its legs for a few times and stopped moving.

After my mother fed him a few sips of water, she immediately felt better. She tried to move her body, but luckily, everything was fine.

The strange-looking man raised his hand and said, "Okay, stop pretending! Get up and take a few steps. As long as you don't leave this house within an hour, no one will die!"

He stood up, got out of bed, walked a few steps, kicked his legs a few times, and jumped on the spot a few times. The people around him were stunned. Did he really come to life like this?

Gao Hongda looked around. This was not a hospital, but senior brother Luo Jianqiang's living room. However, the furniture had been moved out and turned into an altar, with a huge Bagua picture hanging on the altar table.

Dad came up with the gong in his hand and touched him all over before he felt relieved. My mother took a deep breath and sat on the ground. My cousin Zhao Jing hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.

He quickly asked Senior Brother Luo Jianqiang: "Why am I in your home?"

Luo Jianqiang couldn't hide his joy and explained to him what happened.
