After things were arranged in the boundary wall, the blind man found the option to return to the original world on the panel. After clicking it, he returned to the original world.
It feels similar to the feeling when returning to Jie Yuan, both within the acceptable range.
Brain imaging also allows you to see things around you clearly.
The hut is less than 30 square meters, with only a living room and room, and a kitchen that is not used. The furniture is sparse, and there are not many furnishings, including beds, tables, chairs, sofas, coffee tables, and necessary toiletries. , there is no TV, but there is a radio, a cheap mobile phone, and a bookcase with basic Braille books scattered here and there.
A blind person will place every item in a specific location and write it down so that they won't bump into it and can be easily accessed.
But the blind man can roughly "see" now. Although he no longer needs to live according to the previous way, it has also become a habit.
He touched the fruit plate on the coffee table, picked up a few winter dates, ate them one by one, spit out the date cores, and threw them directly into the trash can.
This place should be familiar to me, and I have lived here for more than a month, but it has become strange.
This was his rented house. On the day he turned eighteen, he borrowed money to move out of his grandfather's house, and rented a house under his uncle's management. The monthly rent was 800 yuan, which was a discount given by the landlord because of his uncle's favor.
The rental house is located in an old community adjacent to a hill. There is a high school less than 100 meters away, and a primary school is next to the high school. Every morning except on holidays, you can hear various bells, and Music between classes.
Using brain imaging to "see" the wall calendar and clock, it felt a little like a dream.
At 9:08 on September 21, 2014, not even a minute passed.
But he went from eighteen years old to twenty-one years old.
He has no way of knowing exactly what the upper limit of his lifespan will be, but under the influence of Baduanjin and Mingniu Shou, he is expected to live a long life, not to mention the effect of maintaining youth, which means that his appearance will remain for a long time. Around the age of twenty,
He couldn't imagine whether he would still maintain this appearance when he was seventy or eighty in the future, and return to the rented house where he left less than a minute ago.
But he knows that there are some things that he must do, no matter how old he is.
He put the blind stick into his luggage, changed into a pair of clothes, picked up the folding blind stick on the coffee table, put on a pair of toad sunglasses, and went out.
There are some habits that he can't change.
Listening to the ringing of the end of get out of class bell on the campus next to him, and holding the foldable blind cane in his hand that was not a murder weapon, his mentality relaxed a lot.
This is Dongmu City, Hui Province, Longxia Republic, and it is also his hometown. It is a third-tier town, mainly industrial. The largest enterprise is the steel factory [Donggang]. Most of the people in this city are Donggang. workers there,
Life here is peaceful and tepid, there are no big villains, and there are no monsters.
Listening to the bus beep, he stepped forward to insert coins, stood at the back door, and grabbed the handrail.
This was the first time he saw the street scene of Dongmu City, which was much more prosperous than Daqi.
"Young man left home and returned home, his accent has not changed and his hair on his temples has not faded." He murmured in a low voice.
After arriving at the station, he didn't have to be so nervous when he got off the bus and crossed the road. Every time he crossed the road by himself, he had to listen carefully to the sounds on both sides, but he didn't need to now.
Walking into the alley, into the street, there are four-story low-rise bungalows on both sides. On the first floor are some shops, hand-made cakes, chicken and duck sellers, breakfast shops, steamed bun shops, shoe repairmen, hairdressers... ·very many.
Continuing forward, we arrived at the gate of the police station’s family compound.
"Xi Ya is back?" The guard at the gate knows about Qin Xiya. The guard Cao is old. He was the guard here when he was young. He has watched the blind man grow up and heard about the blind man moving out. " Have you not been bullied outside?"
The blind man adjusted his sunglasses and felt a little embarrassed: "No, no."
"It's good that you haven't been bullied. If someone bullies you, come and tell Uncle. But why do I feel that you have grown a lot taller?" Lao Cao compared the blind man's height, "I remember you were a bit short before. .”
"It's a draw, it's a draw." The blind man yelled, "By the way, Uncle Cao, my grandparents didn't go out, did they?"
"No, no, are you back to see your grandparents?"
"yes."
"Then stop nagging me and go back quickly. Captain Qin and sister-in-law are worried about you every day."
"I understand, then I'll go in, Uncle Cao."
"Yeah." Lao Cao nodded, but then he said, "By the way, your uncle and your aunt are here too. If you are angry, don't stay there and come to me quickly."
"It's okay. I'm in a good mood now. I don't want to hold it in anymore." The blind man still smiled, "Then I'll go in, Uncle Cao."
"Okay, okay, but if you don't hold it in, you have to pay attention to Captain Qin and my sister-in-law's health. They are indeed not in good health as they get older."
"Don't worry, Uncle Cao, I know." The blind man clenched his fists. He also had the fate-defying hand and Baduanjin.
Although he has lived here for eighteen years, this is still the first time he has "seen" the whole family compound.
There is nothing special, there are also bungalows on both sides.
The sycamore trees beside the road have not shed too many leaves, nor those itchy lint, and are so green. There are also a few cicadas that were probably unearthed late and are chirping.
Calm and unremarkable, but we have been away for three years.
Following the route in his slightly blurred memory, he walked to his former home.
On the first floor of my grandparents’ house, there was a small courtyard where flowers and plants were planted, as well as peppers and loofahs. When he was a child, he ate some home-grown fruits and vegetables.
Memories came to his mind, and he thought he would be extremely excited, but in the end he was extremely calm, and he just missed his grandparents even more.
In ancient times, people were timid when they were near their hometown, but when they came to the blind man, they were even more timid when they were near their family.
Standing at the door, the pry-proof door had the word "福" upside down on a red background. The couplets on both sides had not yet been taken off. He was about to knock on the door when his sharp hearing heard his aunt's voice from behind the door.
"Xi Ya has not come back since he moved out? Well, it's time for him to be independent, and it's time for a blind man to be independent as well." Auntie's voice sounded quite satisfied, and then she shouted, "Ze Ze, don't just care about Playing with the phone."
The blind man stood at the door, his hand shrinking when he was about to knock.
But then he knocked on the door firmly.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm back to see you."
While listening to the wind, the "wind of energy" of the aunt behind the door also changed, from the previous satisfaction to the current depression.
The blind man smacked his lips: "Tsk."
I thought to myself: "Is your dislike of me so great?"
But he didn't intend to take it anymore.
He was twenty-one and no longer what he was when he was eighteen.
Although in the eyes of his grandparents he is still eighteen years old.
The door opened and it was Grandpa Qin Kehai.
"Xiya is back?! Come on, come on in." The little old man looked very happy.
Grandma is also very happy, uncle is also very happy,
Only my aunt was unhappy,
A high school boy named Zeze was still playing with his mobile phone, but he shouted in a nonchalant voice: "Hello, uncle."
The blind man called out one by one and returned to Zeze.
"Oh, we are all a family, so living together? What do you want to eat? Are they the noodles made by grandma or the dumplings made by grandpa?" Grandma asked Qin Xiya while wearing reading glasses.
The blind man thought for a moment: "Just eat noodles."
After all, the dumplings are the same as the noodles.
"Okay, okay, grandma will roll it out for you right now. The dough is just woken up." The old man stood up.
The pastoral dog lying under grandma's feet turned over lazily. When it saw Qin Xiya, it immediately stood up, wagging its tail and ran over, rubbing Qin Xiya's legs.
The blind man walked in with a smile, put away his blind stick, picked up the pastoral dog, and opened the image in his brain.
[It turns out that my family looks like this, my grandparents look like this, and my uncle looks like this. 】
Twenty-one years later, he finally saw clearly what his home and family looked like.
