Rebirth: Truth Does Not Dig Coal

wedge

Xu Hao didn't tell anyone when he returned home this time.

He dragged his luggage and walked towards the exit of the international flight. The time when the plane arrived in S city was exactly [-]:[-] in the evening.

At seven o'clock in the evening, in southern China in August, the sun has not completely sunk.Looking out from the large glass windows at the airport, you can still see the faint purple transition to black on the horizon.

Xu Hao wiped his face. It took a 14-hour flight from England back to City S, until he was standing at the exit of the station right now, as if he was still awake.There was a rush of people around, and when they went out, various pick-up signs were placed in front of the station entrance, and there were no less than five languages ​​at a glance.

Xu Hao took out his mobile phone and swiped twice to confirm the address displayed on the screen, and estimated the time to arrive home.The night before leaving England, Xu Hao slept through the night, and he didn't sleep soundly on the plane, so he still feels dizzy.

No one was informed of the itinerary, and of course no one would come to pick me up.

Xu Hao was dressed in a white T-shirt and jeans, with a sports watch on his wrist. He looked very casual.He stood still, raised his head to identify the signs of the airport, and then walked towards the taxi waiting area.

Xu Hao has not returned to China for three years, and now standing on the land of the motherland for a while, he is still a bit unaccustomed to this kind of extremely friendly environment.Regardless of what is said or read, the focus is always on Chinese, and the people around you can understand what they say. Xu Hao almost understood English when he went abroad. Although he has passed the language test in the past two years and made many friends, But the feeling of returning home is still incomparable.

It's as if the sea suddenly returned to the ditch at the door of the house from the outside. The sun was scorching and it was too warm.Xu Hao walked very passively back then, but now he came back with a lot of emotion.

It was 27:[-] when Xu Hao queued up to get a taxi.

He opened the door of the rear seat and sat on it. He read the address he saved in advance to the driver on his phone. It was a fairly famous villa area on the outskirts of City S. The driver probably knew the location when he heard it.After the car drove on the highway, the driver even exchanged a few words with Xu Hao symbolically, but Xu Hao was really tired, and he didn't reply, and the car fell silent for a while.

Xu Hao was leaning on the bench seat in the rear seat, with one leg half-bent on the seat, and the other leg dropped casually underneath, his eyes were so sleepy that he simply closed them.

Half asleep and half awake, he thought, his parents had already moved to S City when he was sent abroad, and now three years have passed, and he has never been in his new home.This trip back to China was a temporary decision made by him, because of some inconvenient matter, even his parents didn't tell him in advance, and when the three of them confronted each other, they would definitely be shocked.

When his mother went to see him in England during the Chinese New Year, she wanted him to come back as soon as possible, but everyone knows that if the situation is forced, it doesn't mean that you can come back when you come back.I heard that his room is still furnished similarly to when he was a child. It is said that even the imported Transformers model is still on the table. A few parts have been lost over the years. The main reason is that his mother always scolded him in front of outsiders. It was hard for Xu Hao not to remember the stupid appearance of sleeping with a robot and blushing marks on his face the next day.

Then I thought, it’s about 08 kilometers from the airport to my home, and it only takes half an hour to walk on the expressway around the city. The road conditions in S city are not good at night, and there may be traffic jams for a while when I get off the expressway. If you can get home, at 30:[-], you can catch up with a hot meal.

Xu Hao was just thinking about it, his body scattered on the back seat, and he felt like he was about to fall asleep.

Xu Hao might not even open his eyes if the headlights suddenly shining on him were not so dazzling.

But Xu Hao opened his eyes in shock, and raised his hand to cover his eyes.

The bright white light in front of him made him squint his eyes subconsciously, only to see the front of a huge truck appearing in front of the windshield without warning.

At that moment, only a vague thought appeared in Xu Hao's mind, he thought, how could it be?It shouldn't be.

Changing rapidly, before realizing what happened, a huge impact sounded loudly.

Xu Hao was in the back seat, and his two hands subconsciously supported the front, but under the influence of the great change of external force, they couldn't support at all.The inertia of the two cars colliding at high speed caused him to be thrown forward. The taxi was squeezed and pushed over by the large truck. The airbag exploded, and the car body was deeply deformed.

The taxi driver had already shouted hoarsely before the initial collision, but the collision of the two cars directly choked his throat, and the voice stopped abruptly, and there was a slight change of tone at the end.When the car body fell to the ground for the first time, the driver was already silent. Xu Hao's whole body was stuck on the roof of the car and the car shook violently. The car rolled over and rolled down a slope.

After the dust settled, Xu Hao was sandwiched in the car lying on his side with his eyes half-opened in the car where he could only see a little light from the outside world, and his brain was still a little conscious.

Conscious, but he couldn't breathe.The smoke choked him so much that he coughed in his throat. The cough was excruciatingly painful, and blood froth began to flow out of his mouth.

Xu Hao was squeezed into a deformed space, his head resting on the roof of the car, his chest was pierced by a piece of iron sheet, it didn't take a few seconds, his upper body clothes had already become sticky.

The plasma was still hot when it came out, and after being exposed to the air for a while, it cooled down quickly. After a while, it felt as uncomfortable as if it was covered with a wet rag.

The feeling of absurdity spread, and Xu Hao had never clearly realized for such a moment that he was going to die.

2017年8月23日，是他过完26岁生日的第5天。

The irony is that a few days ago, he was determined to return to China, thinking that his life had just begun.

Before his consciousness lost consciousness, Xu Hao spat out the blood in his mouth, then gritted his teeth, and took out the phone from his pocket with difficulty.

His hands were trembling, blood was all over the screen, and his eyes began to blur, and he couldn't see any words.

Relying on the last bit of coherent memory, Xu Hao clicked on the phone's address book, and clicked on a random name from it. After the number was dialed, the blood on his hand slipped, and the phone fell down onto Xu Hao's neck.

But he didn't have the strength to pick it up anymore, Xu Hao's eyes were darkened.

The number rang twice and was picked up. The other side was delayed for some reason, and there was no sound for some reason.Holding on to his last bit of consciousness, Xu Hao spoke a few words into the air in a weak, low voice, "Tell...don't, don't..."

When Xu Hao spoke, he choked up for a moment. He suddenly felt that he had so much to say, and the most important thing was to make his parents feel better.Originally, I wanted to give the two elders a surprise, but I didn't say hello in advance, and suddenly it was a dramatic funeral, and the comedy turned into a horror story, so who can bear it?

But he found powerlessly that he really couldn't say anything.

Finally, a voice came from the other side of the phone. A man's voice asked him through the phone, "Xu Hao?" He didn't hear a reply to this question for a long time, and then changed into a very impatient tone, "Speak!"

After that, he seemed to sense something was wrong, and said something anxiously on the other side, but Xu Hao couldn't hear clearly.

His world is all black.

Like God peeling chestnuts, the soul was stripped from the body with a "boo", followed by consciousness and fell into the darkness of complete ignorance.

Until the moment of his death, Xu Hao didn't know who the call was made to.

At the end of the memory, the watch on the wrist stopped at 19:57.

--------

Xu Hao never felt that there was anything wrong with his life.

On the contrary, he has always considered himself a very lucky one among the working people.

Looking at his not-so-long life, he is optimistic, good at making friends, double business online, brave to try new things, and always has an energy, so that he will not turn back until he hits the wrong head.In short, Xu Hao is a pretty good person, the only shortcoming is that he is a bit simple.

This simplicity does not mean how stupid he is. On the contrary, he has always handled social relations well, and he has a special charm when making friends.He doesn't choose the environment very much in his life, he handles things neatly, and he is quite sunny. On some things, Xu Hao is quite charismatic.

But Xu Hao's simplicity lies in that sometimes, he doesn't think much about the consequences when he does things.

This has something to do with Xu Hao's growth experience. In the early years, he was too smooth.

Xu Hao's family is from Shanxi.

When Xu Hao’s parents got married, just a few years after the reform and opening up, the economy was booming, and he could make money doing everything. Xu Hao’s grandfather was an ancestral well digger in Pingyang, and he saved some money all his life to buy a mine. Only then became the well-drilling boss.In the early years, coal mines were not expensive, and it cost money to hire people. Grandpa Xu Hao often went to work in person.But the mine is a dangerous job. Before Xu Hao was born, Xu Hao's grandfather was buried in an accident.

So later, when Xu Hao's father threatened to inherit the ancestral business, Xu Hao's mother and grandma Xu Hao cried, made trouble, and hanged themselves at home. can stop.Later, with the general trend of economic development, the price of coal mines soared, and within a few years of Xu Hao's birth, Xu Hao's father made a fortune.

This incident is not a small incident, it is a real big outbreak, Xu Hao's father became a real coal boss overnight, the business is getting bigger and bigger, so rich that Xu Hao's mother is so stingy One of them had no concept of money in those years.When Xu Hao was in elementary school, he had already become the stupid son of his famous landlord's family.

Compared with Xu Hao's father's family business, Xu Hao is really not so rich and spoiled at home.Because as early as two years before Xu Hao was born, his father and mother got married, and they still rode bicycles to the vegetable market, an ordinary family who had to count good money to buy vegetables.

In my mother's impression, it's normal to raise children, especially boys, to play and fight.

In his father's conception, as the business has expanded in recent years, his horizons have also been opened, and he has fully realized how important it is for a high-level person to be educated. His father has no other expectations for Xu Hao, just Xu Hao. One requirement is to study well.

Kindergarten is the most expensive, and elementary school has to go to the best teachers in the province, and they enroll students in registered residence areas?It doesn't matter, Xu Hao's father also threw money in for Xu Hao.

When Xu Hao walked into the first grade classroom wearing a famous brand like a small upstart, he was so stupid that he didn't know why, but he always felt that the head teacher at that time treated him very well.

But the kids don't recognize this.

They are keenly aware that the teacher is particularly fond of Xu Hao. When they are fighting with other students, they complain to the teacher, and the teacher always favors Xu Hao.Those mischievous children murmured behind their backs, thinking that Xu Hao must be a sycophant, a celebrity in front of the teacher, and not with them, so they tripped Xu Hao up from time to time.

But having said that, Xu Hao was born with relatively rough nerves, and he usually doesn't take it very seriously when he is run out.Sometimes the little boys lay down on the ground playing steel balls, and when they saw Xu Hao coming over, they would not take him to play, so Xu Hao would squat down and watch others play. After watching for a long time, he still felt quite happy.

But this situation didn’t last long. Children like to eat snacks, but they are too young, and their parents don’t give much pocket money. It is a huge sum of money for students in the first grade.

Sometimes, when Xu Hao saw other children spending [-] cents to buy five cola candies, or a small pack of snacks at the school gate between classes, he would also buy them. Not only did he buy a lot of snacks, but he also grabbed a handful from home every day. Candies and chocolates stuffed into pockets.He was generous, and when he arrived at school, he would give points to his classmates who could talk. Gradually, the younger classmates also exchanged their own snacks with him. After going back and forth, they exchanged feelings.

By the time he was in the second grade, Xu Hao had already become the life committee member of the class. Although he was fair and clean when he was a child, he could always take the lead in climbing walls and trees. Coupled with good grades, her popularity among classmates has improved by leaps and bounds, and she has become the leader of the group.Let alone playing steel balls now, the toy cars that others brought from home are rushing to play with Xu Hao.

From then on, Xu Hao found his place in his place. He graduated from elementary school smoothly and entered the best junior high school in the locality. When he graduated from junior high school, Xu Hao had already become famous. No one doesn't know his name.

Everyone knows that there is a Xu Hao in No. [-] Middle School. His family is rich, he fights a lot, and his studies are not bad. Every time he takes the exam, he is in the top of the grade. , This makes the teeth of other junior high school onions itchy, do you think there is any comparison between them.

Yes, before high school, Xu Hao was such a person. He didn't know what it was like to be frustrated, and thought that life was so simple.what do you want?purchase!Who do you like?Chase!He is a little smart, and thinks that his academic performance doesn't need to be top-notch, and being in the top [-] of the grade is enough to make his family proud. The family doesn't care about him, and the teacher turns a blind eye to him. What else does he have to worry about?

He is a winner in life, and he doesn't even leave room for himself to think.

This kind of life experience like a high-speed through train lasted until high school, when Xu Hao's family moved to City B, where land was expensive.

Xu Hao's grades are good, and he can pass the provincial key exams by himself, but Xu Hao's father hopes that his son will become a dragon, and he wants to give Xu Hao a place in the top high school in the country.

Xu Hao was originally a local bully, but he was suddenly thrown into this big capital where fish and dragons are mixed together.

That's when things started to change.

He started to run into a wall, fell and fell while walking, suddenly woke up, looked around in a daze, found a little truth about life, but didn't know what to do.

When he had suffered a lot and grew up, pulled out his minions and learned to be good, and finally figured out what to do, there was another car accident, and his life came to an end, and he died.

Xu Hao has never felt sad in his whole life.

There were only two things that made him feel slapped.

The first thing is that he once made a friend. He regarded him as his best brother, but after they broke up, he realized that he was regarded as a joke, and it might not be as good as talking after dinner.

The second thing is that he thought that he had great ambitions. He had a high starting point in his life and was determined to do something that would shake the world. However, in the past 26 years, he has been running for three years, and he still hasn't fully understood why he lives. .

Xu Hao used to be quite a self-motivated person, but he was forced to be unable to return to the country for three full years, and because of some things, he suffered a lot of blows, and his mental state followed suit.In the final analysis, he had never experienced any setbacks since he was a child, and when he encountered something, he thought it was a hurdle and it was difficult.After studying in the UK, I didn't go to school well. I was fooled by the language. Three out of five subjects showed red lights. I wasted my life in clubs and drinking all day long. I even smoked marijuana a few times as if I was a child. It's been turned upside down.

He thought that his youth had just begun, and his life was exciting and fresh.Fate just threw a stone at him, and when he hit his foot, he squandered his life like venting his anger.

But then, a few days before his 26th birthday, when he woke up one morning, Xu Hao looked in the mirror and saw for the first time those subtle and imperceptible wrinkles on his face, which deepened from the wrinkles on his forehead , and then refracted from the bloodshot pupils.

He suddenly found himself older than he remembered, older than he thought.

Looking back at the past three years, it was decadent, absurd, and I couldn't even extract anything useful.

From that day on, Xu Hao made up his mind to return to China.Book your flight and make a little hasty plan for the future in a few days.

He thought that after decades of life, there would always be a chance to start over.

I just didn't expect that in the end, he would die at the age of 26.

He used to think that he was mature enough, experienced enough, and old enough, but now looking back, what is there?

The most ridiculous thing is that he only started to regret it when he was about to die.
