repayment [end times]

During the day, a black gleam of light falls from the deserted city center, and the light spot takes root on the ground and slowly spreads until it forms a hemisphere with a diameter of 1 kilometer.

Not far away, two overlapping figures were gradually overtaken and covered by black light.

"Leave me alone."

Ji Yanian lay on Hades' back, leaning his face against the other's shoulder, all he could see was the hideous face burned by sulfuric acid, and the flamboyant thorn tattoo on his neck.

Blood trickled down his abdomen, soaking Hades' clothes, leaving blood-stained footprints all the way.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Yan Wang clenched his teeth tightly, and his crippled left leg was affected by the "Moon Shadow", and blue rust was born again, making every step he took extremely difficult.

Ji Yannian's body temperature began to lose, but her eye sockets were hot.

"Yan Wang, are you stupid?"

Hades didn't stop, the blue rust climbed from the calf to the knee, and it was still growing.

"You saved me, and I'm repaying you."

"It's just half a steamed bun."

"There's still half a bottle of water."

"You are really a fool."

"Yes, I am."

Ji Yannian was dumbfounded.

A moment later, the plants grew wildly in the hemisphere shrouded in black light, and a strange species the size of a hound came out from the collapsed tall building. Its blue eyes stared closely at the two people who were struggling, drooling greedily.

Hades stopped, his body tensed up suddenly.

ended.

Ji Yanian laughed bitterly silently, he leaned into Yama's ear and whispered softly: "Yan Wang, if there is another life, let me repay you."

Hades carried him even tighter, and then asked hoarsely, "What's the repayment?"

"The grace of death on the same day."

"Ha, you are an idiot."

"Well, I am."

"..."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the next life."

>>

2X22, winter.

Yunyang City.

Ji Yanian opened his eyes amidst the quarrel.

The sunlight slanted in and hit the wall; there was a faint lemon fragrance in the room; stained glass was embedded on the old attic window, and a woman's voice broke in through the window crack:

"—I just heard that your son Ji Yanian is gay, isn't he?"

"So what's the matter? Have you eaten your rice?"

"Oh, I'm just curious. Your private kitchen costs several thousand per table. Who knows what they are selling? Why did your son have a fever when a table of guests left last night?"

"Don't give this old lady a bad mood, look at your sore eyes are red, the business of the hair salon is not good recently, can't you afford to hide in the house and pour manure? Look at this stinky mouth!"

"What are you talking about!..."

The arguing was still going on, Ji Yanian remained awake and did not move.

On the opposite wall hangs an old-fashioned electronic clock showing today's time:

2X22年12月22日，13：24，星期四。

Is this a dream?

Ji Yanian stared blankly at the electronic clock.His throat was a little dry, but he didn't feel the pain of being bitten by a foreign species; his nose was a little stuffed, but he could breathe to the end; his head was a little dizzy, but he wasn't dizzy due to excessive blood loss.

Ji Yanian withdrew his gaze and reached out to touch his face - a pair of thick glasses were on the bridge of his nose.

He was born half-blind, and before the catastrophe, he could see the world clearly with these glasses.

"what!"

Ji Yanian let out a suppressed breath, and covered his face with his hands, and it took him a long time to move his palms away.

——He actually resurrected, and returned to three years ago.

Ji Yannian's eyes were bright, and the lifelessness that was overwhelmed by suffering and despair was swept away.

boom!

There was a loud closing sound from downstairs, accompanied by the woman's unfinished yell:

"I'm waiting, if you have the ability, come here, whoever is afraid of whom!"

Ji Yanian came back to his senses, got up, put on his coat and went out, and saw the talking woman just as he went downstairs.

The woman is in her early fifties, with gray hair and a neat bun; she is in very good spirits, with a flushed face and a straight waist.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a person whose life is about to come to an end.

But after the catastrophe came, she suffered a month of internal organs infection and still went.

Ji Yanian still remembers that day when he came back from looking for food and pushed open the door. The body on the ground was covered by blue rust and kept struggling.

Ji Yanian's eye sockets became hot instantly.

"mom."

"Ouch, why are you up? Look at your hoarse voice."

Zhang Yinzhu was still pinching her waist, looked up to see Ji Yanian went downstairs, and hurriedly walked over to Ji Yanian and raised her hand - she was too petite, in front of Ji Yanian's height of 181, she could not touch the young man's forehead even if she stretched her arms .

Zhang Yinzhu couldn't help staring, "Lie on your stomach, let me touch it and see if it burns."

Ji Yanian let out an "um" and lowered her head obediently.

Zhang Yinzhu touched Ji Yanian's forehead, and then heaved a sigh of relief, "It's not as hot as in the morning, but you have to be careful. —Did you wake up just now?"

Ji Yanian straightened up, shook his head slightly, "Just woke up."

Zhang Yinzhu didn't believe it, sighed and said: "Don't take it to heart, these people are just jealous because of the good business of our restaurant. Humph, who cares about her! Let's be human, as long as we are worthy of the conscience of the world, others will go to hell! "

Hearing the familiar "Polar" speak, Ji Yanian couldn't help laughing.

Seeing him smile, Zhang Yinzhu felt relieved, and stretched out her hand to pull Ji Yanian to the table to sit down, "Come here, Mom will discuss something with you."

After sitting down, Zhang Yinzhu hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.

"I know that Chinese New Year is coming, and it's a good time to make money. But this time, your high burn injured your lungs, and the doctor said that you need to rest for a while. So Mom plans to push all the reunion dinner orders this year. Do you think so?"

Hearing this, the memory about this time node finally became clear.

Ji Yanian remembered that he rejected this proposal in his previous life.

——He was a half-blind foundling who was picked up by his mother.But his father was a bad guy who drank and gambled.

When he was 7 years old, his father got drunk and fell into the water and drowned. The gambling debts left behind wiped out all the land of their family, leaving only an old house.

The mother gritted her teeth and decided to take him to the city to work to earn money to treat his eyes.

This walk is 25 years.

He didn't go to school. After his mother saved enough money to buy him his first pair of corrective glasses at the age of 12, he went to learn how to cook with a kind master chef.

Seven years ago, I rented a house and opened this "season private kitchen", and life gradually improved.

He wanted to repay his mother and give her a stable place to stay, so he firmly refused to stop making money.

But it was this refusal that caused his lungs to remain hidden. After the catastrophe, his lungs were infected and rusted, and he could no longer breathe freely.

Now facing the same choice, Ji Xianian has a different answer.

"it is good."

Ji Yanian smiled at Zhang Yinzhu, "Push it all away."

Zhang Yinzhu was already prepared to hear the answer of rejection, and even thought up the words of persuasion, but her son, who has always "made money like earning his life", let go of his mouth.

Zhang Yinzhu couldn't believe it, "Really? Pushed it all?"

Ji Yanian nodded, "Well, I pushed them all."

"..."

Zhang Yinzhu glanced out the window, did the sun come out from the west?

But that wasn't the only thing that shocked her.

Ji Yanian continued: "Mom, the lease term of this small building is coming up soon, I thought about it, let's move back to Baitou Town."

Zhang Yinzhu: "???"

Zhang Yinzhu stood up and reached out to touch Ji Yannian's forehead with a solemn expression, "Did you have a high fever again?"

Ji Yanian: "..."

Ji Yanian pulled Zhang Yinzhu's hand off, "I'm serious."

Zhang Yinzhu saw it, but couldn't figure it out.

"Why? Don't you hate the people in the village?"

Ji Xianian was silent.

After he was picked up by his mother, his father refused to spend money to see his eyes, so he became a "little blind man" in the mouths of the villagers.

His father would beat people because of alcoholism, and his mother didn't dare to leave him alone in the house. She took him with her when she went to work in the field, but she couldn't keep him company.

He sat on the ridge of the field, and the kind people in the village would pity him, and the bad ones would throw things at him, make fun of watching him look around, or deliberately lure him to wade in water, step on dung, or attract dogs...

They are all bad memories.

But Ji Xianian had to go back.

Because there are still 37 days before the catastrophe will come.As soon as the catastrophe strikes, they will be kicked out by the owner of the small building, and his mother will also be injured, infected, and die.

Also because, Yan Wang is in Baitou Town at this time.

Ji Yanian took a breath and said.

"Actually, I've been thinking about this for a long time. Didn't you entrust the people from the village committee to help repair the old house before, and you specially hired someone to take care of it?"

Zhang Yinzhu said "Hey", "I was just leaving us a way out. A few years ago, Baitou Town was included in the development zone, so I don't know when it will be demolished. You don't think I want to go back, do you?"

Ji Yanian shook his head, "No, but I think this is also a resource. Now we advocate health preservation, health and greenness. ——In the past two years, our customers have improved. I want to change to a better environment, which can also attract customers and keep customers .”

Zhang Yinzhu became a little interested, "That's an idea. But our family has no land."

"It doesn't matter. Let's rent the mountain. Isn't the old house on the mountain? There is a lake at the foot of the mountain. It would be nice to tidy up the scenery."

Zhang Yinzhu: "Is it too far away? There is no bridge on the lake, and it takes half an hour to go up the mountain, and I remember that the lake is flooded every year."

"It's okay. The smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. Anyway, I plan to rest this year, and I have plenty of time to solve it."

Hearing this, Zhang Yinzhu knew that Ji Yanian had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything else.

"Success, you have the final say, while you are still young, and while your mother can help you with some work, you can do whatever you want!"

Ji Yanian's heart warmed up, and he nodded, "Thank you, Mom."

Zhang Yinzhu glanced at him, "What's there to thank for that? That's fine, leave the house to me, don't worry about it. There is porridge sitting in the kitchen casserole, go drink some when you're hungry, and go back to bed when you're done." Lie down. If the disease is not cured in winter, it is easy to suffer from wind-cold syndrome."

Ji Yanian answered "Yes" with a smile, and obediently entered the kitchen.
