Why did he come to this rented house and a dangerous building with the word 'demolish'? Xie Yu was a little confused. He felt as if he had blacked out.
He touched the blue water droplet tattoo on his forehead, which was the same as the old man. A chill came from the tattoo, making Xie Yu feel a little cool in this room that was like a stove.
Staring at the mineral water bottle on the table that was already filled with pure water, memories began to surface. This bottle was obviously the one that the old man had just drunk from. Fortunately, when he was walking on the road in a daze, he heard someone calling him to go to the library to drink water. Only then did he realize that the library actually provided free bottled water.
Thinking that she was so thirsty, she immediately went in and drank to her heart's content. Under the manager's angry gaze, she even timidly filled up a bottle and took it away.
He opened the bag on the table and picked up a receipt from Novan Bakery. 20 steamed buns, a total of 5 yuan.
He looked at it and threw it to the side. As he chewed on the steamed bun, he touched the tattoo. Looking at a small broken mirror, Xie Yu said to himself naturally,"Who is this old man? What is that thing on my head?"
"Don't tell me it's some kind of killing nanomachines? Could it be that I'll be disintegrated like the old man? Why was he so impulsive back then? Why would I take such a terrifying thing?”
Xie Yu, who usually watched sci-fi movies, suddenly became afraid. He was afraid that he would disappear in the next second.
However, Xie Yu relaxed again. He was almost like a dead man, so why would he be afraid of death?
All this time, he had lived in the shadow of the village and suffered the contempt and ridicule of others.
"I almost forgot how to write the word 'happy.' How many years has it been since I last smiled? It should be more than ten years."
"Now that I've left home, what can I do without my mother by my side? Perhaps my mother, who has always valued money, was right. I don't have a single cent on me now. Do I have to beg tomorrow?”
Thinking back to the scene in the morning, Xie Yu felt terrible. Unmotivated, rebellious, negative, and unable to grow up. He was such a person.
Xie Yu was born in Tangning Town and was a typical otaku. Because he didn't get into university after high school, he didn't have any strong points, so he stayed at home.
Time traveled, and it had been more than two years since he had stayed in this house. Since he was young, he loved to play with computers, so he learned how to use computers to make money at home. Money would come when he sent out promotional flyers or bought game equipment. Although it was not a lot, it was enough to cover his expenses if he used it sparingly. Therefore, he was happy to be free!
However, this world was full of comparisons. In the hearts of the rural people, only those who were rich and had a proper job were normal people.
The internet would only give people the impression that they were having fun and not doing their proper work. After all, internet cafes had harmed many young people. There were many who skipped classes and stayed up late to surf the internet.
It was because of this job that he was often criticized by his family for being incompetent. Moreover, the villagers also spread rumors about him being useless and not doing his job properly.
Therefore, Xie Yu had been working hard under pressure. He often searched for more ways to earn money online.
On this day, something happened on Xie Yu's Internet. He planned to open an online store and try it. He bought a shop upgrade software from a certain treasure for 888 yuan, but it basically didn't work. He couldn't even get a refund. He was really angry.
As a result, he decided to go out to the fields to get some fresh air. As soon as he left the room, he immediately heard his mother's nagging. He endured it and wanted to ignore his mother's voice. When he walked outside, he saw the disdainful eyes of his neighbors.
Along the way, it was as if their mocking voices were ringing in his ears! At this moment, Xie Yu felt extremely aggrieved and furious.
He felt like he was a monkey being suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain! Xie Yu hated this place very much. He felt that if he stayed here any longer, he would definitely go crazy. It was normal for rural people to gossip since they had nothing to do. It was understandable.
However, have you ever seen an old lady who had difficulty walking and walked two kilometers in an hour with a walker just to gossip? Moreover, the person who gossiped was Xie Yu. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
He felt like he was going to fly far away. He wanted to leave this place! Leave this gossipy, venomous village where everyone liked to gossip and leave that family that valued money so much!
Xie Yu touched the mark on his head again. His eyes were lost as he recalled the last conversation he had with his mother when he left the house.
"What? You're running away from home again? Are you sure?" Xie Yu's mother crossed her arms, looking calm and unperturbed!
"Yes, that's right. I've had enough of you. I don't want to see your faces anymore! I don't want to stay in such a home anymore."
"Don't be too harsh. You'll probably be back soon!”His mother had a look of contempt on her face!
"Are you kidding me? I don't want to see your face again!”Xie Yu turned his head to the side and pretended not to want to see his mother!
"I've never been happy since I was young! Open your eyes and look at our village. Everyone likes to talk about right and wrong. All the neighbors are divorced. I'm not woken up by the alarm clock every day. I'm woken up by my neighbors 'quarrels.”Xie Yu started to tremble as he said,""And…And they talk about me every day!"
"It's fine if others talk about me and look down on me, but even you... Even you nag me every day and look down on me.”Xie Yu's face was flushed red as he packed his clothes. He seemed very excited.
Mother Yu didn't expect Xie Yu to say that. She widened her eyes in anger and pointed at him with a trembling finger.
"If you really had the ability, would I need to scold you? If you don't want to live here, you can buy a house outside! Can you afford it? At home, I help you wash clothes, cook, and clean, and you're still not satisfied?
"You still dare to talk back now? If you don't have me as your mother, how are you going to live? Do you know how to wash clothes and cook? I'm so angry. Giving birth to you is a sin I committed in my previous life. I'd rather give birth to barbecued pork than give birth to you!”
Hearing the last sentence, Xie Yu was stunned. He had never heard his mother say such things about him. He knew that his mother had always been very good to him. Although his mother usually spoke a little loudly, she would not say anything too overboard.
He tried his best to turn his head to the side and continued to pack his clothes. He did not want his mother to see his crying face! A man does not shed tears easily because he has not yet reached the point of sadness.
Her mother's words hit her heart hard.
People often said that it was normal for parents to talk about their children. There was no need to care about the scale of their words. In fact, the words of their relatives were often more lethal.
Because the words of an outsider might be forgotten the next day, but the words of a loved one would be remembered for a lifetime, because you had him in your heart!
Seeing that her son didn't say anything and actually shook his head without looking at her, her mother was so angry that she laughed instead.
"Hehe, you ran away from home, right? Alright, don't come back after a few days like the previous two times. Not only will the villagers laugh at you, but even I, as a mother, will feel embarrassed!”
Xie Yu clenched his fists tightly and still did not reply. At this time, he had already packed his clothes, picked up the small bag, and walked to the door without looking back.
Actually, he also understood that he only had a few friends, and most of them had gone to work far away. Now, there were only two people living nearby. When he ran away from home a few times ago, he had already stayed there. This time, he was really embarrassed to go.
She followed behind her son and saw that his son was unhappy and ignored her. Seeing that he was about to leave, her mother became even angrier.
"Are you deaf? Are you mute? If you have the guts to take another step forward, if you take one step out of this house, I'll let you come back this time and take your surname.”
Thinking of how he walked out of the house without looking back, Xie Yu sighed. He knew that it would be difficult for him to go back this time.
After swallowing the last mouthful of steamed bun and gulping down a few mouthfuls of water, Xie Yu rubbed his still hungry stomach and simply lay on the bed to continue muttering to himself.
"If I were to disintegrate in this room like that old man, perhaps this wouldn't be a form of release. Seeing how happy and peaceful that old man was at that time, he shouldn't have suffered when he died.”
Xie Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at the setting sun outside the window. He didn't know if it was because he was too tired today, but he fell asleep unknowingly. In a daze.
