Wei Shiqi had a distant dream.
The energy is low, the eyes are dim, the hair is droopy, the teeth are shaking, and you are getting old. Half of your life has slipped away quietly, and the old age has quietly arrived.
That day, he threw away his mobile phone card, packed up his simple luggage, boarded the high-speed train heading south, came to a warm and unfamiliar city, and started a new life. One person rents a house, one person looks for a job, one person eats, washes dishes, reads and sleeps. He works in a middle school laboratory doing odd jobs, goes to and from get off work on time, and earns a meager salary. He has morning tea at a small shop on the street in the morning, eats clay pot rice in the workplace canteen at noon, and makes his own meal in the evening, serving grains, vegetables, and food. A little meaty hot soup, simple and healthy.
Abandoning all the past, shouldering the blame and self-blame alone, not making a single phone call, not wanting to know any news, just to have more time that belongs entirely to myself, without anyone disturbing me, drinking tea, reading, and feeling tired I turn on the computer, listen to music, watch movies, and watch those young girls wearing navel-baring miniskirts jumping around and singing songs that I don’t understand, or they are affectionate, or the rhythm is exciting, and I feel young in a trance. Some.
One month, two months, one year, two years later, he gradually fell in love with this southern city. He didn't know many people, and the people he knew were all casual acquaintances. They were polite, polite, and kept an appropriate distance. Everyone They're all thorny porcupines, aren't they? Whether you are cruel, autistic or withdrawn, as long as you live comfortably, there is nothing wrong with it. The simpler your life, the more you will feel a touch of happiness.
If you have a regular diet and daily life, and stay away from all annoying trivial matters, your body will slow down its aging process, and you should be able to live longer. In the dead of night, the light from the screen illuminated his face. He watched the familiar old people gradually exit the stage, and the new people came one after another. He felt regretful and relieved at the same time. When he was alive, the world had meaning. When he died, this world was meaningful. The world does not exist. From the moment of birth, people walk towards the grave step by step. Death is inevitable and there is no escape. What everyone spends is just a long or short time of waiting. This period of waiting requires comfort, otherwise life will be too boring. The life he chooses and everything he does can make people temporarily forget the shadow of death and continue to live peacefully in the world...
No matter how long the dream is, there is still time to wake up. When he woke up, Wei Shiqi was still lying in the quiet room of Wuyaguan, Yu Yao was in his arms, breathing heavily, looking out the window at the dark night, he thought: "Who am I? Where do I come from? To Where to go?" Thinking about it, he laughed happily and wildly.
He has never been so happy since he came to this world.
Wei Shiqi pushed Yu Yao who was pretending to sleep up, and the two got dressed and walked hand in hand to the soup boiling room on the lower level of the plank road, where they drank hot tea, ate apricots, and chatted with Lao Feng.
Lao Feng was very happy to see the two of them. He took out the treasured wild boar meat and roasted it until soft on the fire for tea. The wild boar is hunted from the Nanhua Valley. It is two or three years old and has the most tender teeth. It is rubbed with fine coarse salt and spices, baked on charcoal fire, and carefully stored. It can be stored for a long time.
The roasted wild boar meat was hard and fragrant. Wei Shiqi liked the taste and ate a lot of it with tea. After chatting for a while, he asked about the gambling game held by Liu Shifeng at the end of the year. Both Lao Feng and Yu Yao knew it. You and I explained the origin of the gambling game clearly.
Opening a gambling game at the end of the year is a new initiative proposed by Taoist Ziyang after he took charge of Kunlun. It is said that his original words were like this, "At the end of the year, the mountains are covered with heavy snow, and idleness is also idle. Why not open a gambling game to have some fun and do something The sect leader, as the elder, will give some blood to make a fortune, so that the disciples can also have hope."
The rules of the gambling game are set by the headmaster. Once every four years, they take turns to be the banker. Each sect will send out two disciples, and the banker will send out four disciples. Their cultivation is below the sword energy. They enter the gambling game with the lottery to compete with each other. The master nods first, and then nods. The winning disciples pick their opponents, each challenge and challenge once. The winner chooses one of the lottery numbers held by the loser. If he loses the last lottery number, he is out of the game and can only leave the game sadly and watch on the sidelines.
Wei Shiqi calculated it. According to this rule, there were a total of 12 disciples from the five sects of Yujian, Five Elements, Poison Sword, Hook Sickle, and Feiyu. Half of them were eliminated in the first round and returned empty-handed, leaving the largest number of disciples. Win two games and get three prizes. Win one and lose one and get one prize. In the most extreme case, the six disciples who won in the first round are all challengers or all challengers. The gambling ends here and there is no second place. Wheel, of course, the likelihood of this happening is slim.
It's fair, but there are many variables. The lottery prizes offered by each sect are all good things, but you can only get three at most, and these three may not be what you want. You have to look at everything to get what you want most. Chance depends on luck.
Lao Feng inadvertently reminded Wei Shiqi: "Don't underestimate the end-of-year gambling game. This is not a sword showdown between fellow students, but a life and death battle. Some people come out of the gambling game and never get back up, never making any progress."
"A fight to the death?" This was beyond Wei Shiqi's expectation. "Did any of the disciples fail?"
"I've hurt people by accident, but I've never seen anyone die. Disciples from various sects compete with swords in Tai Chi diagrams. If you want to kill someone, hehe, it's really not easy."
Wei Shiqi couldn't help but murmur, the direct line is indeed the direct line, and the side branches are after all side branches. Compared with Chixia Valley Sword Discussion, the year-end gambling game is obviously more high-end and classy. Even a magic weapon like Tai Chi Diagram has been born, but To ensure the safety of disciples.
But the year-end gambling game really made him a little excited.
