A real man cannot live without power for a day, and a real man cannot live without money for a day!
Xu Zhipeng began to feel deeply about this. Since childhood, he has lived a privileged life and has not dared to think too much about power. However, his parents have not wronged him much when it comes to money. So all this time, he didn't have many illusions about money, or making money.
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, changes in the world sometimes come so quietly. When your daily life changes from a cup of Starbucks every day to stocking up on several 9.9 cups of Luckin, and sometimes when you check through several credit cards and have no money to pay, the outcome is actually already doomed.
What's more, Xu Zhipeng's wife still believes in fate. Several blind and semi-blind men have told her that their husband and wife are not destined to have enough fate. Therefore, to this day, it can be said that Xu Zhipeng loves his wife very much and is difficult to let go of.
However, when the money earned is not enough to live on, let alone pay off the minimum repayments of both parties, sooner or later the day to change the book will come.
"The house belongs to me, and the children need to study. We don't need you to pay child support."
"Okay!" Xu Zhipeng said sadly.
He had already expected this outcome. Over the past few years, they have often had conflicts over money issues, and both parties already knew the outcome. It's just that everything was for the sake of the children at the beginning, and Xu Zhipeng also treated his wife sincerely, so Zhang Keyuan still had some expectations, but the power of oil, rice, salt and vinegar sometimes indeed exceeds the fetters of feelings, so this day will definitely come. .
"You can't blame others for this. If you want to blame it, you can only blame yourself!" Xu Zhipeng felt sad, but he was still somewhat unwilling to do so. Over the years, he has given his sincerity. Apart from having no money and being unable to give her the life she wants, he has done everything else he can to give and pay. However, in the end, this is the result.
Xu Zhipeng shook his head in pain.
"Marriage is the grave of love! This is really a wise saying."
For two or three days, Xu Zhipeng has been confused, not knowing what he wants to do or where he wants to go. When I came back to my senses, I found that I was deep in the mountains. Looking around, except for the bamboo forest, the only thing left was the endless sea of bamboo.
"Where is this?" Xu Zhipeng shook his head with a wry smile. He didn't expect that he would be so fragile, and would be hit by this already expected outcome to the point where he is today. This may be because he was too sentimental. "Forget it, let it go! This should be Zhuge Fairy Mountain. I remember coming here ten years ago. Well, I still remember there is a temple on the mountain where you can eat vegetarian food."
Xu Zhipeng regained his senses immediately after coming back to his senses. Although he was deep in the mountains and could not see through the bamboo sea at a glance, he recalled the hazy memories and suddenly remembered where this was - Zhuge Fairy Mountain, at the junction of Yue and Yu. A famous mountain.
According to legend, Immortal Master Ge Hong once refined elixirs here, so he is famous all over the world. It is said that there are still ruins left in the mountain, but I didn't pay attention to it when I came here ten years ago. The only memories left are the small temple on the top of the mountain and the evocative vegetarian meal.
"It's strange. Why can't I remember anything else, but I can still remember the taste of that fasting meal? Could it be that I'm hungry right now!" Xu Zhipeng laughed twice and shook his head unconsciously.
Looking up, there is a sign in front of me. He hurriedly took a few steps and walked to the sign, knowing that he was only 70 meters away from the peak. Of course, the so-called 70 meters is not a straight line distance, but an altitude difference. As for the actual distance, according to his current powerless situation, it is estimated that it will be more than half an hour away.
"I was really fooled by lard. I came to climb the mountain at this time. It might get dark when we reach the top." Xu Zhipeng was secretly annoyed and wanted to turn around and go down the mountain. But at this time, he was already hungry and his mouth was dry. He just wanted to find a place to rest, drink some water, and find something to fill his stomach. The small temple on the top of the mountain is the best target.
"Forget it, let's go up and try our luck. Maybe we can stay overnight and go back down the mountain tomorrow morning."
…
"Donor, please forgive me. The small temple does not provide evening meals, and there are no extra guest rooms. Please come down as soon as possible."
Xu Zhipeng held a glass of cold water and drank it all in one gulp. His heart was sad. He didn't want to force anyone to do anything. After thanking the old monk in ordinary clothes, he turned around and went down the mountain without daring to rest anymore.
Just during this period of time, the sky had gradually darkened. Xu Zhipeng looked at the time, five twelve, maybe because he was on the mountain, the sky was a little brighter than usual, but it was already late autumn, and the sun was shining brightly. It's already short, it's already getting dark at this time, and in another half an hour, it will be completely dark.
Xu Zhipeng was a little impatient and couldn't help but speed up the pace down the mountain. However, he couldn't go fast on the mountain path even if he wanted to. What's more, on the way down the mountain, people have to hold back and not go too fast.
The surrounding air seemed to feel Xu Zhipeng's anxiety. The mountain wind passed by, swaying the bamboo branches and rustling the bamboo leaves, making people feel even more sad.
Xu Zhipeng was not very courageous at first. If he had been in the past, he would not have had the courage to walk forward at dusk in this wilderness. He might have turned back to the top of the mountain and shamelessly begged the temple to take him in. But he has survived today. In this situation, nothing seems to matter. It's just a life, it's lifeless, anyone who wants to take it away can take it away.
Xu Zhipeng thought so, so he was no longer afraid! Taking advantage of the dim light of night, I tried my best to step up my pace.
"Hey, the road seems wrong!"
As he walked, Xu Zhipeng's pores suddenly stood up. He vaguely remembered that the way down the mountain was all the way down, without much uphill, but the road in front of him was obviously an uphill road. "Could it be true that we met?"
If you say you're not afraid, that's all lies. Once people encounter such unknown and mysterious things, they will always have a kind of trembling and fear from the heart. No matter how calm they are, it will not help. Goosebumps appeared on my arms, and my bladder began to fill with the urge to urinate. Xu Zhipeng simply kept doing nothing and applied fertilizer to the bamboo forest sideways. If you really encounter a ghost, it is said that the man's fertilizer can break this underworld trick. Looking up, it seems to be of no use. The road is still the same, and it seems even darker and colder.
"Forward or backward?" Xu Zhipeng was undecided. "If we really encounter Gui, since everything has fallen into his hands, there won't be much difference." Thinking of this, Xu Zhipeng became brave and walked up. You know if you have really encountered something strange, rather than scaring yourself.
Xu Zhipeng kept comforting himself, and did not stop until a Taoist temple appeared in front of him.
This Taoist temple seems to be quite simple, not as good as the original old mountain temple. A black wooden door is hung on the door frame. It feels like it will be knocked down if the wind blows. There were also cracks on the door panel. Looking in through the cracks, you could still vaguely see a dim light.
This is the oldest kind of yellow incandescent lamp. It has been almost 10 or 20 years and has basically never been seen again. However, it is a product of modern civilization. The legendary Mr. Gu has not yet mastered such advanced technology. Xu Zhipeng was deeply relieved and knocked on the wooden door.
"Hello, is anyone there? I'm lost in the mountains. Can I stay here for one night?"
"Ahem~, wait a moment, the old man will turn on the light first."
The people in the audience responded quickly. The voice sounded like that of an old man, but the tone of his voice revealed that he was frail and dying. He was an old Taoist priest. After more than ten seconds, the street light on the door frame came on. After more than a minute, an old Taoist priest tremblingly opened the door.
