Volume 26: The Rock of Kunchi
……………
The sky is cloudless and the temperature is neither high nor low.
In the spacious and beautiful campus, the young man was sitting on a chair in silence. His eyes were a little empty. He was sitting there blankly. After an unknown period of time, a plump young man came across from him.
As the plump young man arrived at the scene, the silence was completely broken.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Me?" The plump young man shouted suddenly. The young man broke out of his daze and answered blankly: "Are you talking about me?"
"Nonsense, of course I'm talking about you. It's just you and me here. If it's not you, is it me? I'm not bored enough to say hello to myself."
"Chen Hailong, you guys are eating the firecrackers? Why do you have such a bad tone? If you dare to continue to show off, you can write your own paper next time!"
"Ah... don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, Lao He, I was wrong. Is it okay if I am wrong? It's up to you to pretend. I won't pretend. Is it okay? Also, why are you sitting here alone? Again There will be an exam in a week. According to your personality, you should be studying for the exam in the library at this time, right?"
Finally, through dialogue, the young man returned to reality. After confirming that the other party was his best friend Chen Hailong, the conversation between the two was out of tune for an instant. Faced with the threat of the young man's thesis, it was as if he had been caught with a fatal handle. The fat young man instantly He surrendered and changed the subject at the same time, directly talking about the upcoming exam.
But then again, if we only talk about exams, the young man really has enough say. He then grinned and replied lightly: "Self-study? It's not necessary. Except for electronic information, I can't guarantee that I will get full marks. I am still confident in my choice of subject.”
Seeing that the young man surnamed He started to show off, Chen Hailong wanted to kick him away, but unfortunately he didn't dare. The reason was just as the other party said. He relied on the other party for his paper, and he relied on the other party for help and guidance in almost every issue of the paper, and sometimes even I also need the other party to write for me! It is said that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Even if Chen Hailong was unhappy, he could only endure it. Then he sighed helplessly and said: "I said you are really strong. You are also a college student and you have chosen the same subject. But your The paper was regarded as a model by the professor, but the paper I wrote was regarded as toilet paper by the professor... Well, I admit that you work hard, but the problem is that you are not the only one who works hard? In my personal impression, there are at least two They work a hundred times harder than you. Which one, Wei Zhenzhen or Yang Yan, doesn’t spend all day in the library and reference room? However, every time the results come down, your results are always higher than theirs. I asked, did you cheat? "
"Gan! What am I cheating on? If I cheat, how do you explain your papers? Besides, I'm not that good. The real good one is my sister. I study hard after all, but that girl is so stupid I slept in school all day, and my study attitude was not serious at all. Unexpectedly, I ranked first in the next grade in the exam. I heard that several well-known universities even thought of booking in advance. How can you explain this? "
"Oh, yes, I remembered it. You said before about your sister. Her IQ seems to be higher than that of a genius like you. Tsk tsk tsk. This is really irritating. The children of your He family have good genes. , My brother is a genius, my sister is simply a monster, if nothing happens during this period, you will definitely become an elite in the future, and then you must not forget to support your brothers."
Maybe it was Chen Hailong's word 'elite' that made the young man surnamed He think of something. As soon as Chen Hailong finished speaking, the young man changed the subject and said: "By the way, has the previous salary lawsuit that shocked the country been resolved? I was busy preparing for the exam recently. , so I didn’t watch the news much.”
"The results are out." Not to mention, when the young man surnamed He mentioned this, Chen Hailong, who had always been very interested in current affairs news, suddenly became energetic and nodded directly to express his clarity. It was clear, but Chen Hailong soon shrugged his shoulders. At the same time, he sighed in an unhappy tone and added: "It's a pity that the result is not satisfactory."
"Oh? Tell me."
Seeing the young man questioning curiously and maintaining an unhappy expression, Chen Hailong sat down next to him and immediately continued in an indignant tone: "We also read the initial news. All idiots know that the boss deliberately delayed the wages of the workers, and the workers gathered together to ask for wages. As a matter of course, even if they did some extreme behavior during the period, it would not be a big deal, and it would not cause much damage anyway, but who would have thought that the workers would lose the lawsuit and be easily overturned by a lawyer!"
"Lawyer? Being overturned by a lawyer?"
"Yeah, I don't know whether the black-hearted boss is lucky or God is blind. Although a lot of evidence is against the factory owner, unexpectedly the lawyer he hired is a powerful character. His eloquence and ability to exploit legal loopholes are simply amazing. Unprecedented and unprecedented, he not only silenced the plaintiff's lawyer in court, but in the end actually helped the factory owner win the case."
After introducing the outcome of the lawsuit, Chen Hailong sighed with an unhappy face. The young man named He who had been listening was vaguely interested. He raised his hand and touched his chin and asked casually: "By the way, the one who won the lawsuit for the factory owner?" What’s the name of your lawyer?”
"I don't know his specific name. It wasn't mentioned in the news. I just heard that the guy's surname is Zhao, and the law firm he works for seems quite famous."
"Beasts, you have no conscience. You don't even have a conscience in order to make money. No wonder people say you can't be a lawyer if you have a sense of justice. If you are a lawyer, you definitely can't have a sense of justice." Xu Shi was really dissatisfied with the outcome of the lawsuit, so he said so. Chen Hailong began to curse, and instinctively greeted the lawyer named Zhao who was helping the evildoer. Unfortunately, it was meaningless. After all, the other party won the lawsuit legally. No matter how dissatisfied you are, others can only stare in the face of the unchangeable facts.
"Okay, okay, the result is like this, what can you do even if you scold him? The lawyer named Zhao can't lose a hair. Also, do you think those workers who lost the lawsuit are miserable? No, no, no Yes, there are others who are even worse."
"Huh? Who? Who is worse?"
As mentioned above, when his friend's sense of justice suddenly exploded, the young man surnamed He, who was very knowledgeable in conversation skills, decisively changed the direction and inadvertently changed the topic in a way that no one could detect. This was said to be true, and it was also true in reality. Seeing Chen Hailong, he became curious. When asked casually, the young man surnamed He grinned and then told a piece of news that he accidentally saw while browsing the web recently. Although the news was related to fraud, the process was quite funny and the story was not too complicated. It is said that there was a A young country bumpkin who had never been to a big city arrived in a nearby city by car. I don’t know if he had never seen the world or didn’t understand the sinister nature of people’s hearts. As soon as he got off the bus, his money was stolen by a group of scammers claiming to be intermediaries. Everything is clean. If this is the case, then this is undoubtedly a story full of sadness. People who watch the news will definitely sympathize with the young country bumpkin. Unfortunately, the matter is not over. I thought that the young bumpkin would report the crime immediately after being deceived. Unexpectedly, this guy turned out to be a rare and strange talent in the world. When he realized that he had been deceived, he not only did not go to the police station to report the case, but instead learned and applied it. He instantly learned the deception tricks of the previous scammers, and then used basically the same tactics to trick others into tricking others. An old woman who also came from out of town tricked her into a trap and took away all her belongings!
It is often said that once a person is unlucky, his teeth will be clogged even if he drinks cold water. This is true. With the money he got from the scam, he went to a restaurant to eat and drink. While eating and drinking, he was thinking about how to sleep tonight. Unexpectedly, before he could figure out where to sleep at night, a group of police officers came to the restaurant and arrested him. By the way, he was provided with a completely free accommodation room. In the end, he was detained for a whole week. If he hadn't been deceived by the old lady, He was soft-hearted and did not file a lawsuit. It is estimated that this guy will go directly to jail and eat for free.
"Hahahahahaha! It's really miserable. Even if I was defrauded of all my money, I was detained for a week. That country bumpkin is indeed a weirdo. No, not a weirdo, but a talent. A rare talent in the world. I just don't know that. What's the name of this guy? If you knew, I'd really like to make friends with this guy."
After listening to He Fei's narration, Chen Hailong laughed loudly and expressed that he wanted to make friends with that weirdo. Chen Hailong was like this. He Fei nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, that guy is indeed a talent. I also want to get to know him." , not to mention anything else, his extremely obvious optimism alone is enough to prove that he is a happy person, a person who seems not to be easily affected by negative emotions, and after a brief consideration, he has a faint taste of an outsider. Unfortunately, that is just This is a small piece of news that doesn’t even have a picture. I just stumbled across it while browsing the web, so I don’t know what the other person’s name is, and I’ve never even met him. Maybe this is the logic of fate that Buddhism often talks about. If fate is not enough , it is impossible for you to meet someone in your lifetime, but if fate comes, you will not only see the other person in the future, but you will even become friends with the other person."
"Okay, here we go again, talking about your life insights again. I'm confused. Where do you usually get so much life insights? It sounds like you're full of philosophy. You didn't take philosophy as a subject at the beginning. Pity."
"Hey, you think I'm stupid. It's so difficult to find a job these days. Who would take philosophy, which has been unpopular for thousands of years, as a subject? Not to mention that our university doesn't have people studying philosophy. Looking at the whole country, there are only a few college students studying philosophy. Of course, Except for rich people whose families are not short of money."
Faced with Chen Hailong's verbal ridicule, the young man surnamed He did not get angry. He directly grinned and explained the facts. The facts are just as he just said. Today is a distorted and deformed society, a society that entertains people to death, and even more entertainment stars. In this weird society that is the goal of struggle, in this abnormal society full of distortions and pathologies, money is omnipotent. In order to make money, many people abandon morality and there is no lower limit. Although he himself is not ashamed of this society, he is still a human being after all. He is an ordinary person who has not been polluted by society, but people have to live and eat, not to mention that it is not easy for his parents to work hard to support him in college. No matter what, he must learn something to repay his parents. If he can , he will find a good job after graduation, and then he can let his parents live a good life, including of course his beloved sister.
"Eh? Look, Lao He, there's a dark cloud coming over there."
The young man's emotional thoughts were momentarily disturbed by Chen Hailong, and he suddenly came back to his senses. He looked up following the sound, and saw different colors appearing in the sky that was cloudless earlier. The north was now darkening. Sure enough, there was a group of clouds emerging from nowhere. Dark clouds are covering the sky, covering the sky unconsciously, and now they are expanding in size bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye, eating away at the light bit by bit.
"Hurry! It's going to rain. Let's go back to the dormitory quickly." Seeing the dark clouds getting bigger and bigger, he didn't care to continue chatting. After shaking his body, Chen Hailong said hello and got up and left, as if he wanted to go back to the dormitory to hide. Yu, as for the young man named He...
Somehow, he didn't leave, didn't leave his seat and rush to the dormitory like his friends did. Instead, he stopped moving at the moment when he noticed the dark clouds in the sky. He looked up at the sky in silence, always staring at the growing dark clouds above his head. While he was watching, the young man's brows changed slightly, and he felt as if he noticed some problems in the dark clouds, and his expression was strange, which then caused him to pay attention to the dark clouds above. During the observation, doubts arose in his mind.
(Dark clouds? Where did those big dark clouds come from? I remember the weather forecast clearly said it won’t rain soon, but why...)
night.
Blah, blah, blah.
Carrying gusts of cool breeze, the pouring rain poured down, just like this, in the pitch-black night, it kept swaying water drops towards the campus below.
Yes, Chen Hailong guessed it right. His artificial prediction was confirmed in reality. In fact, even if he didn't guess, anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was destined to rain tonight. After all, the area of dark clouds was too big at the beginning, so it would be false to say it wouldn't rain. , that’s true. The same rain has been expected by all the students in the school, but the young man surnamed He doesn’t think so. Although the weather forecast may not be 100% accurate, the downpour of such a volume is a bit weird after all. , the heavy rain continued from 4 pm to 10 pm, and it never stopped.
At this moment, after sweeping away the dense raindrops that were still undulating and splashing outside the window, in the library, he was studying hard for the exam and could not help but frown slightly. He put down the book in his hand, and the young man left his seat and stood up and walked towards the window.
Due to the late hour and the heavy rain, the reading library, which usually remains empty until the early morning, is currently deserted. There is only one young man here. However, it is precisely because of the dead silence that he is the only one, staring at the heavy rain outside the window. There were dark clouds in the sky, and the young man let go for the first time, muttering to himself when he was the only one at the scene: "What's going on? Why do I get more and more panicked the more I look at those clouds?"
"W-what on earth is going on?"
Yes, the result came out, and the reason that caused him to interrupt his review and stare out the window was precisely the dark cloud, the strange dark cloud that still covered the sky with rain until now.
As described in the daytime, without any sign of the reason, the young man surnamed He has been uneasy since the moment he discovered the dark clouds. He is irritable for no reason. Although the feeling is unclear, it at least proves that he cares about the dark clouds. Driven by many inexplicable thoughts, he couldn't help but pay attention to the dark clouds. From losing his appetite when eating in the cafeteria in the evening to losing his mood while preparing for the exam, he had never been calm during this period and was no longer as focused on studying as before. Of course, with his level, even if You don’t have to be afraid of exams even if you don’t review, but the problem is that continuing like this is not the answer, right? It can be said that if he didn't figure out this strange dark cloud, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, so naturally, seeing that he was the only one present, the young man couldn't help it, and directly expressed his panic by self-questioning reason.
"Professor Liu once said that human beings are creatures that are more receptive to suggestions. The so-called suggestion means that the consciousness is occasionally attracted to a certain scene or thing, so that it pays extra attention to it for a certain period of time. There is often no reason for the attention, only just It is linked to the unique intuition of human beings. Since it is linked to intuition, am I unintentionally accepting some kind of psychological suggestion?"
Relying on the logical knowledge that college students should have, combined with the professor's remarks that he had heard in class, the young man is currently talking to himself, analyzing and understanding in a way that seems to convince himself, comprehending on his own, doing his best I wanted to figure out why I was inexplicably flustered, but...
As a result, he failed without any suspense. Faced with such a complex question that even a psychology professor could not find an accurate answer, it would be really contrary to science for him, who was just an ordinary student, to find the answer. So, with all kinds of puzzling thoughts, Complicated, the young man left the teaching building and spent a sleepless night in insomnia.
Fortunately, the dark clouds only lasted the night, and the heavy rain also lasted the night. As the night ended and the day came, the rising sun enveloped the earth, shining brightly on the university campus filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. Under the wash of the sun, the dark clouds disappeared and were replaced by clear skies. , it is like this today, and it will still be like this tomorrow. In fact, since the sun once again occupied the world, there has not been a single dark cloud in the sky in the following week.
Sure enough, as the strange dark cloud disappeared for a long time, the young man surnamed He gradually recovered and gradually got rid of his irritability and panic. Both life and study were back on track. The ordinary life passed day by day until the exam came.
First of all, it is certain that for young people who have always excelled in studies, exams are just a formality, and young people are indeed happy to write in the exam room where others are under great pressure. They quickly finished the test papers that others could not write even after racking their brains. At the same time, he wrote a test paper that was enough to make any university professor nod his head. Finally, the exam came to an end in the hot summer.
With the exam over, the natural next step is to go home for the summer vacation, which no student would refuse.
Walking out of the examination room, he glanced at the scorching sky above his head. The young man surnamed He was in a good mood. Then he ran back to the dormitory to pack his bags like other students. There was no doubt that the young man was homesick. With the summer vacation coming, the young man could not wait to go back immediately. Go home to meet your parents.
Of course, although the goal is to go home, he must go through a journey home before that, and during the process, a strange event happened that baffled the young man...
During the ride, he fell asleep and had what seemed like a long but vague dream.
In the dream, he experienced a lot, encountered a lot, experienced narrow escapes from death again and again, and encountered countless terrifying enemies. But equally, in these experiences, he also made many friends, a group of trustworthy people. partner.
He had many impressions of those partners, but unfortunately he couldn't call them by name. Under the influence of some unknown factors, he couldn't call his partners by name.
Next…
He woke up suddenly, his body suddenly trembled as if he was electrocuted, and his eyes suddenly opened!
When he opened his eyes, he realized that he was still sitting on the bus.
(I just fell asleep?)
Accompanied by bursts of noise, I looked up and saw a group of passengers around me. Sitting next to me was an obese young man. The other person was none other than my classmate and friend Chen Hailong.
Of course, the above is not the point. The point is that after waking up, the young man found that he could not remember clearly! He has no impression of the content of the dream at all. Both the experience and the characters in the dream are completely blank, as if the memory has been wiped out of thin air.
"Huh? That's weird..."
In doubt, the young man named He murmured to himself.
"What? What's weird? You kid must not be confused by sleep, right?"
Seeing his friend who had been sleeping soundly for a long time suddenly wake up, and seeing the other person mumbling to himself after waking up, the fat Chen Hailong immediately made a joke, while the young man surnamed He ignored the other person's teasing, shook his head, and did not want to talk about it. Regarding this matter, he casually replied: "Well, it's nothing, I just had a dream."
"Dream?"
Upon hearing the answer from the young man surnamed He, Chen Hailong did not inquire further. He shook his face and then grinned: "Hey, I knew it. With your character, I guess you must have dreamed that you were solving the case." Right? I've told you not to watch so many detectives in normal times, as it can easily make people mentally confused."
As soon as these words came out, even though the young man had a good temper, he finally couldn't bear it after being teased by the other party. He immediately glared and retorted: "I'm sorry! Chen Hailong, you did it on purpose, didn't you? Believe it or not, I got out of the car." Want to challenge you?"
Seeing that his friend was being serious, he glanced out the window. Chen Hailong smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "Okay, okay, you took it seriously as a joke. I'm afraid of you, eh? We're at the station, get off the bus!"
It was exactly as Chen Hailong said. As soon as he finished speaking, the bus that was originally traveling at a constant speed began to slow down, and some arriving passengers also left their seats and stood up.
Others stood up one after another, how could they dare to continue sitting? Sure enough, when the bus stopped, they didn't bother to continue bickering, and hurriedly picked up their backpacks and stepped out of the car. Soon, the two of them arrived at the square, and it was almost as expected. As the crowd around them gradually dispersed, they looked up and saw I saw a large subway station standing opposite.
Maybe they were homesick and eager to go home, or maybe they were worried about missing the subway. As soon as they got off the bus, the two of them ran to the subway station in a hurry.
only
During this period, something happened, a scene appeared, a familiar scene that the two of them had never seen due to the angle of view:
While the young man surnamed He and Chen Hailong were both running towards the subway station, dark clouds appeared in the sky, a strange dark cloud that seemed to appear out of thin air...
