The sound of the waves rang out, gradually getting louder, mixed in with the chirping of seagulls...
Li Liang reached for the bedside table, turned off the alarm clock on his phone, and turned over.
The bed is very warm.
Drowsily, he heard someone talking next to him: "Mr. Xisen, I know the group's requirements. This report will definitely appear in your mailbox on time..."
He opened his eyes and saw Zhou Xiaomian wearing a headband and wearing pajamas standing by the bed on the phone.
A small figure slipped in from the door, climbed onto the bed, and jumped on top of him.
"Dad, wake up!"
His daughter's chubby little face appeared in front of him, grinning, showing her neat teeth.
Li Liang reached out and touched her little head.
"Hey, your dad is sleeping," Zhou Xiaomian shouted, and then hurriedly said to the phone, "I'm sorry, I'm talking to the child. No, no, it's my problem. I should have sent it to you before Friday. , Okay, okay, Mr. Xisen, goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiaomian pulled off the hairband, tucked her hair behind her ears, frowned and said, "Little boy Li, have you brushed your teeth?"
Child Li buried his head in the quilt and chuckled.
"Go brush your teeth and let your dad get some sleep."
Li child turned over and pulled up the quilt to cover his head.
"Honey," Li Liang sat up and looked at Zhou Xiaomian's back.
"Are you awake?" Zhou Xiaomian rummaged in the closet, "Get up when you wake up and take her to brush her teeth. If you don't make a mark, you won't be able to catch the plane."
Li Liang said softly: "I just had a dream, a very long dream."
"What a dream," Zhou Xiaomian picked up a dress and muttered, "I have to wear this one..."
"I dreamed that a thousand years later, the whole world belonged to a company called Xi'an. I became a doctor who repaired electronic dogs. Then a lot of things happened, I can't remember them clearly. Anyway, in the end Xi'an Company I drove it."
Zhou Xiaomian chuckled: "Hey, Li Liang, hurry up and take your daughter to brush her teeth."
"Why are you laughing? I still have you in the dream. You are a gangster, and we are saving the world together. We live and die together."
Zhou Xiaomian held a T-shirt in her hand, put her hands on her hips, and said angrily: "You won't let me go no matter how hard you dream, who wants to save the world with you?"
At this point, she was stunned for a moment and raised her hand: "Wait a minute, you, the whole world belongs to your family. Shouldn't I be the first lady? Why did you become a gang boss? Oh~~ You have many women, but you don't Is it my turn?"
Li Liang thought for a while and said seriously: "I guess so."
"Go away," Zhou Xiaomian threw the T-shirt over, "Get up and pack your things."
Li Liang chuckled, folded up his T-shirt, and said as if he was remembering something: "By the way, your name was Cain in the dream..."
At this time.
The phone rang, Zhou Xiaomian picked up the phone and said: "Sonoya, what's going on with you? The boss has already rushed me here, um, right... Then hurry up and change it. Post it in the group after the change, and also, last quarter's data……"
Li Liang shook his head, lifted the quilt, and squeaked Li Li with his hands: "Go and brush your teeth quickly."
Hey hey~
Li child rolled over, climbed out of bed, and ran into the bathroom.
After stretching, Li Liang slowly walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room.
Li Shuang was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and playing games on his mobile phone. When he heard the noise, he raised his head: "Good morning, brother."
"Well, what time did you come?"
With that said, Li Liang fell into the sofa and yawned.
"Just here," Li Shuang stared at the screen, "Damn, this Teemo is so good."
Li Liang picked up the remote control and asked lazily: "What are you playing?"
"Play, play, play on your hands."
"oh."
The TV screen lights up and automatically plays the movie "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" that was not finished last night. Grindelwald, played by Johnny Depp, is casting magic with special effects like a gas stove.
Li Liang watched the movie and asked casually: "How is the entrepreneurial project you mentioned before?"
"Hey, what kind of business are you starting?" Li Shuang threw the phone aside and picked up nuts on the coffee table to eat. "It would be nice to have a class. During this period, our company has been laying off employees. It is said that this year the Platform Business Industry Department will at least Optimize 10% of the people.”
Click.
The door opened.
Seeing the person coming in, Li Liang stood up and shouted: "Dad."
"Hey," the old man was wearing a down jacket, holding soy milk and fried dough sticks in his hand, lowering his head to change his shoes, "it's too congested outside, we have to leave early so as not to block the road."
Li Shuang stepped forward to take the breakfast: "It's okay, I can't make it in time for the 12:30 o'clock flight."
Dong dong dong...
Li kid ran all the way, rushed over and hugged his grandfather's leg and said, "Grandpa, go out and walk me."
"Hey~ Qiqi," the old man picked up Li and walked to the dining table, smiling, "Let's eat first, and then go to the beach to play in the sand after dinner, okay?"
"Okay," Child Li nodded, "I want to live in a house that costs money."
Zhou Xiaomian took out the dishes and chopsticks from the cupboard and said with a smile: "That's called a hotel. Ever since I went to Yalong Bay last time, Qiqi has been clamoring for a room to stay in."
"Fried dough sticks, soy milk, tofu curd..." Li Shuang muttered, untying the plastic bags one by one.
Li Liang looked at the family at the dining table and suddenly frowned. He put his hand into the pocket of his shorts and touched a small hard object. When he took it out, he saw that it was a small bolt.
This is……
Zhou Xiaomian's voice came: "Li Liang, come and eat quickly."
Li Liang thought for a while and put the bolt back into his pocket.
"coming."
——————————
Twenty years later.
Bang——
In the commotion, a group of people shook the fireworks tubes in their hands at the same time.
Accompanied by colorful paper tapes flying in the sky, the fleet of wedding cars slowly started to pick up the bride.
On the red carpet spread out from the unit door, gray-haired Li Liang clasped his hands behind his back and watched the motorcade go away.
Zhou Xiaomian on the side lowered his head and wiped his eyes.
Li Liang put his arm around her shoulders: "Can't bear to leave?"
"No, it's windy," Zhou Xiaomian patted the cheongsam on her body, "Hey, are my clothes old?"
"You're not old, you're good-looking," Li Liang smiled.
"Come on," Zhou Xiaomian stretched out her hand to straighten his shirt collar, "You don't want to dye your hair either."
At this time.
A young man ran closer: "Second aunt, uncle, let's go to the hotel too."
"Okay," Zhou Xiaomian nodded, "Where's your mother, have you brought the shawl I asked her to prepare for me?"
"Take it, take it, she's going to the hotel first..."
The two of them walked towards the car not far away as they spoke.
Li Liang stood there, took out a small bolt from his suit pocket, looked down at it, a little lost.
"Li Liang?"
Zhou Xiaomian held the car door and shouted.
Li Liang put the bolt back into his pocket, raised his head and said with a smile, "Here he comes."
——————————
Time flies, and more than thirty years have passed.
Hospital ward.
Zhou Xiaomian was lying on the hospital bed. Time had not left many wrinkles on her face, but only dyed her hair white.
She woke up from her sleep and murmured: "Li Liang."
"Huh?" Li Liang, who was dozing off while sitting on the edge of the bed, smacked his lips, "Wake up, drink some water."
Then he stood up and started pouring water.
"No more drinking," Zhou Xiaomian looked at the ceiling, "Do you think I'm almost at my stop?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Liang tucked her back, "The doctor said that the elderly have osteoporosis and are prone to fractures when they fall. You can just nurse it for a few days and you'll be fine."
"Li Liang, I still want to hear that story."
"what story?"
"The story of your precious screw, your dream."
"Oh, okay," Li Liang peeled an orange slowly and methodically, "When I wake up, Messi..."
"Start from the moment you meet me."
Li Liang smiled, leaned over and fed her a piece of orange, and then ate a piece himself: "Well, I was running and running in that wasteland, and I was hit by an arrow. Good guy, I'm a little too far behind. I just came from When I escaped from death row in the south, I was caught by a mayfly. When I woke up, it was dark and cold all around. I touched and touched. Hey, I touched a corpse. Who knew it was your thigh? How could you still He said, if you touch it further up, you will get more money..."
Zhou Xiaomian looked at Li Liang who was dancing. Sunlight poured in from the window and fell on his pale hair.
——————————
Li Liang is eighty-nine years old.
With urban changes and technological advancement, many things have become different, but they still seem to be no different from the past.
He was unwilling to move to a big city with his daughter and son-in-law and live alone in the original house.
Today at noon, he made himself a bowl of hand-made noodles.
Make the dough, knead it, cut it into noodles, boil it, cut some cucumber shreds, mix in some bean sprouts, and top it with tomato and egg marinade.
After quietly eating noodles and washing the dishes, he put on his down jacket and walked out of the house slowly. He walked out of the community along the road where his daughter got married, and came to a small park not far away.
The winter sun doesn't have much temperature, but fortunately the down jacket is warm enough.
He sat down on a bench by the river and stared at the ice floes floating on the river.
for a long time.
As if remembering something, he fumbled in the pockets of his down jacket, but found nothing. He then dug into his trousers pockets, and even stood up and looked under the bench.
Finally, he sat back and stared blankly at his palms.
A few minutes later.
Li Liang tilted his head and remained motionless, resting his hands on his legs as if he was asleep.
A vague figure slowly approached, sat down next to him, and placed a small bolt in his hand.
The world stops.
Ethereal sighs came from the grass tips, ice floes and the flowing wind: "As you wish."
Sudden.
A hoarse voice sounded: "You are Elune's divine power hidden in the talisman formation, right?"
The figure suddenly stood up.
I saw Li Liang slowly raising his head, there was no trace of confusion in his eyes?
He threw the bolt casually and said calmly: "I still want to thank you for the life you gave me. Although it is fake, thank you."
The bare trees by the river grew green leaves again, and the leaves rustled in the wind, forming a layered voice: "Isn't this the life you want?"
Li Liang said softly: "Why do you think so?"
The figure sat down again.
An ice floe drifted from the river, with a flashing scene on it.
In the scene, Tam said angrily: "My memory can be erased, but I am a member of the river toad family born under the whirling tree. My spirit will always exist in the root system of the whirling tree. I can feel the dark and cold... My hand once disturbed the order of Aqilu. Now, answer me, Li Liang, who are you?"
On the opposite side, another "Li Liang" who was awakened by the dream of Hermes took out a photo from his arms, touched the father and mother in the photo, and whispered: "Tamu, what I can tell you, There is only one story. When I was very young, there were many video game arcades on the street. I went there every day after school..."
Next, "Li Liang" told the story of the roulette video game machine. Until the end, he lowered his head and murmured: "I realized that what I have been pursuing has been obtained a long time ago. In fact, it was the first time. The two months’ breakfast money you won back.”
The picture freezes.
Li Liang looked at Tam with a serious expression and suddenly smiled.
If I hadn't seen this scene again, I would have almost forgotten what a river frog is...
"what are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing," Li Liang suppressed his smile: "Do you think my last sentence meant that all I want is an ordinary life, so you satisfied me and expected me to die with a smile?"
"A smooth and orderly life experience, isn't it?"
"You misunderstood," Li Liang looked down at his withered and pale hands, "When I won back breakfast money for the first time, I firmly believed that I had completely figured out the rules of the roulette machine, just like I Believe that I can control my life.
So, that sentence actually reminds me that no matter what time, I must remember who I am, where I come from, and where I am going..." He smiled, "I just figured it out. "
He stood up slowly, returning to youth from old age at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Then a door appeared on the river bank.
When opening the door, Li Liang paused and said softly: "In addition, I also understand what it means at the end of the story, 'The boss who controls everything only has three choices'."
Then he crossed the threshold and entered Athea.
——————————
The dark side of the moon is a space composed of layers of stepped annular platforms deep underground in the Zhuos Command.
The figure of the leader of the Goblin Sentinel Force, Helm Blade Giant Vine Noldo, just appeared at the entrance.
Teemo froze in mid-air, pointing his finger at the helmet blade. "Kalu's Wrath" was moving forward at an extremely slow speed. Sieshe held a shield in one hand and opened the armor on his right hand to reveal a row of gun ports. The blue light was shining on the top. The muzzle is the center and spreads to all sides.
next moment.
Time returns to normal.
"Kalu's Wrath" returned in vain, and Siexie's artillery fire was easily swallowed up by a mass of vines.
Teemo reached out to catch "Kalu's Wrath" and looked back.
Li Liang was ready to jump into the well a few seconds ago, but now he was standing at the mouth of the well leisurely.
"What are you waiting for?" Timo was stunned.
Li Liang smiled: "Captain Teemo, long time no see."
