Tong Shengmei's eyes drifted into the distance, fiddling with her silver-white hair. They collided with each other and made a pleasant and clear buzz.
"Boss Lin, what do you think it is like to be an ordinary person?"
This very literary question stumped Lin Chou.
Tong Shengmei didn't wait for Lin Chou's answer before continuing,
"I married into their family when I was young. My parents died early and I have no relatives... But my mother-in-law is very good to me. I also have a four-year-old son. My husband is willing to work hard. If nothing happens, I will never have a baby in this life." This will pass.”
"Just a month ago, I was carrying my baby in a basket all day long in the fields pulling out the endless weeds. This happened every year, every day. The wind and the sun made my thirty-seven-year-old The woman looks older than sixty-seven... No one in Xiacheng District cares about this. We just look forward to opening up an extra piece of wasteland every year, fertilizing it with grass and fertilizing it for three years, and then it becomes a good piece of land again."
"People want to eat the wild grass and vegetables pulled out of the ground, and pigs also want to eat. If they don't have enough to eat...the Black Mountain wild boar is about to run away. We depend on it for oil and water all year round."
"I hope that the vegetables in the field can be sold at a good price, that the grain can be harvested well, that the weather will be good, that we will not starve, that there will be no insect pests, that there will be no animal infestation, and that a few people will die less..."
Tong Shengmei raised her voice,
"Then it completely changed."
"The Scientific Research Institute, the garrison, and the Development Committee all came to my door and gave me a lot of money and many circulation points. Then I was taken to a very white, quiet, and spotless room to do various experiments every day."
"They said they wanted to study my alienation process and find out the secret to delaying aging and even rejuvenating me."
"He also said that this is a great thing to benefit Mingguang, and asked me to cooperate well."
"I'm very happy, excited, and scared. I'm just an ordinary peasant woman. How can I help?"
"But they comforted me and told me to believe in myself and them. They said that mutant individuals like me are very, very rare. If I don't cooperate with them, Mingguang may never be as far away from the truth as it is now in the next few hundred years. Very close."
"A whole bunch of big shots that I didn't know or had ever heard of came to see me and comfort me."
"It seems like a century. Everyone has been waiting for a long, long time."
"....The experiment still failed."
"Then they sent me home... as casually as a feral cat."
"My child wore new clothes that other children of the same age could not afford, played with brand-new stuffed animals, and ate snacks. When he saw me, he asked me, sister, who are you?"
"I shed tears at that time... No one welcomed me back home. They all just stood there and looked at me blankly, as if they had seen something weird."
"After my neighbors saw me, their eyes were as frightened as birds - I know what they were thinking, they were thinking whether they had offended me before, whether I would hold grudges, whether I would retaliate, that's all. That’s all.”
"My husband's relatives, their eyes always seem to say, why is it not her children who are alienated but her? Can an old woman in her thirties also become an evolved person?"
"My mother-in-law is in awe of me, and my husband is afraid of me. He even calls me sir."
"Haha....Sir???"
"There has never been a moment when I felt that life was so far away from me, so close yet untouchable."
Tong Shengmei said a lot in one breath. After she finished speaking, she felt much more comfortable, so she picked up the water glass and drank it in one gulp.
A group of people look at each other, with lawsuits all over their heads.
Your story not only contains physical, psychological and ethical aspects, but also family, love and friendship. It’s really complicated.
Xiao Wu tugged on his sleeves,
"Ahem, let me explain a few words here."
"What Sister Tong means is that a series of family conflicts caused by the sudden increase or decrease of one party's social status in marriage, resulting in the unequal social status of both parties, to the point where they are unable to reintegrate into family life or extend their original social relationships. middle."
"..."
"..."
Sikong jumped to his feet and cursed, "Talk about some nonsense, go, go, go."
Xiao Wu felt bored.
"That's right, that's what the book says. I didn't recite a word of it wrong."
Sikong asked, "So, eldest sister, you are... single again?"
Sikong really felt that there was something wrong with this elder sister's logic, however.
As a woman, it’s normal for a woman to go back to her parents’ house to relax for a while, and there’s nothing wrong with her at all.
Lin Chou, this small restaurant, is not the natal family where she became an evolutionist!
"Ahem."
Lin Chou couldn't help coughing twice. Sikong's question seemed very technical, but no matter how he listened, he felt that there was some indescribable intention.
Sister Tong was noncommittal;
"I don't want to stay in the base city every day. I... want to join you and be a hunter."
"..."
I never expected that Sister Tong, you are still a person who wants to do big things!
At first, when Tong Shengmei said that she was looking for a job, several people were distracted by her, thinking that she wanted to be like the big-breasted sister, helping out in Lin Chou's small restaurant, and even Lin Chou himself did it. Such thoughts.
Lin Chou's old face turned red. You must be being sentimental. People don't look down on your little restaurant at all.
"Sister Tong, are you looking in the wrong place?"
If you want to be a hunter, you shouldn't come here. This eldest sister is really willing to accept death.
There were so many hunting team advertisements flying all over the outer city. She didn't go to see them, but she risked her life all the way from Mingguang to the tavern. Wasn't she accepting death?
There are a few hunting teams gathered here coming and going, but they are incomparable to the number of hunting teams in the outer city.
However, any hunting team that comes to stay in the tavern will be well-known in the base city. They are ruthless people who have been tempered with blood and iron in the wilderness - a certain Lin's dish. It's so expensive that it's scary, and I don't have any capital. Who would be able to get enough to hang out like this?
They will not easily recruit new team members, nor will they casually abandon existing team members.
It is not easy for a single hunter with extraordinary strength to join a hunting team. To put it bluntly, this is a question of trust, because in the wilderness, you have to give your back to the other party.
not to mention....
Tong Shengmei is still a newcomer who doesn’t know anything about anything.
It’s not impossible to say that there are no hunting teams that dare to lead newcomers into the wilderness, but they are definitely rare. Maybe even if a group-destroying buff is brushed off, it will be difficult to escape.
"I want to join the Blades."
Tong Shengmei glanced at Bao Er.
Needless to say, before Tong Shengmei came to visit the tavern, Bao Er probably boasted a lot about Shan Ye and Bai Qiongshou.
"I've inquired, and there are at least three first-order evolvers currently in the Blades. With my strength, I believe I won't be the one holding back."
"Ahem." Lin Chou coughed again.
It's a bit hurtful to say these words from a newcomer who has just successfully alienated, and the goal is quite clear.
Speaking of which, the one holding the Blades back was Baldhead himself from the beginning to the end.
Sikong frowned, the fire of gossip in his eyes was already burning.
"It's weird. When did Master Shan become a hot commodity? People come to him one by one..."
"I'm really looking forward to what will happen after that hard-working guy comes back!"
