"Reality, Illusion..."People are easily lost in these two words, and we live in this reality, but we never know the boundary between reality and dream.
Reality repeats something mechanically every day until we get old and die; dream is infinite exploration of unknown destiny and change ourselves.The two were not opposed to each other in the first place, but living in the real world, these two must be separated.
In reality, people have no stimulation, no freedom, no personality, too many; and people who live in dreams basically do nothing by thinking.When a person goes from a child to an adult or even an elderly, they experience all kinds of hardships and hardships from dream to reality.
Not to mention what kind of personality this person will become, he will slowly give up his dreams and dreams, living for the sake of survival, living for the purpose of material.
We don't say that this method is right or wrong, but some people think that if they give up their dreams and dreams in life, in other words, living without their conscience, that way of living is like betraying their own soul, that person living is meaningless.What the hell is the best way to live?Yijiang's left hand was resting on his cheek.
He pondered over this question for a long time, but still couldn't find the correct answer.
Just who did he belong to?
Yijiang was 22 years old, and could be considered an inconspicuous low-level office worker.
He worked in a private enterprise in Sunshine City.He had come from a village to a city to work hard.
His career hadn't risen yet, but to live in a city and become a city's citizen, it was probably the dream of every village to work in a city.
Yijiang was no exception.However, the life in the city wasn't as he imagined.
What he saw was quarrelling and lying everywhere.
Everything was filled with negative energy.
Sometimes, he wondered if he had been wrong from the start.
Perhaps it was best to live a peaceful life in the countryside..However, Yijiang didn't regret it.
All of his choices were his own ideas.
Since it was his choice, he wanted to get closer to this materialistic society.
Moreover, he understood that he couldn't abandon his inner thoughts and ideals.
If he somehow changed into a different image because of the influence of this society, then he couldn't accept it.
That was why he had always had his own way of living."Have you made up your mind?" Chengcheng, who was sitting next to Yijiang, asked this question by accident.
However, he didn't expect that Yijiang wouldn't receive a single response.
Chengcheng was one of the students Yijiang had met when he first arrived at Sunshine City.
The two of them were usually close to each other, so they naturally became good friends.Compared to Yijiang, Chengcheng's physique was much thinner.
However, judging from how weak he was, he was a tall and mighty figure.His house was much richer than Yijiang's, and he had a few buildings in Sunshine City.
However, he wasn't like other rich kids who wore luxurious clothes and wandered around.Furthermore, Chengcheng usually kept a low profile and remained quiet.
Unless he was in front of some people he knew, it would be difficult for him to find a topic to talk to strangers.
He probably didn't look as wealthy as Yijiang.Yijiang scratched his head and asked, "This question is too difficult.
If it were you, which side would you choose?""It's a dream, of course!" Chengcheng replied without a second thought.
"Don't you think it's boring for us to spend the rest of the day peacefully?
To be honest, I really want to live in this chaotic world.
That way, we can fully display our uses."Yijiang said helplessly, "So that's what you're saying.
But isn't the Chaotic World War just for the sake of peace one day?
Isn't that right now?" Halfway through Yijiang's words, Chengcheng interrupted, "Peace?
Could it be that we've been secretly forming alliances and joining forces all day long?
In this war of peace, I feel that the current world is much scarier than the Chaotic World War.
Who knows how I might have died?""..."Hearing this, Yijiang's face revealed a bit of indifference.
He said indifferently, "Actually, I have a lot of people like us.
We are inconspicuous people in society, so no one will pay attention to us.
Sigh...
the world belongs to celebrities now." Chengcheng immediately made a shushing gesture.
Yijiang thought that he was playing some sort of trick.
However, when he glanced at the doorway, Yijiang immediately understood what Chengcheng meant and immediately acted as if nothing had happened.Yijiang arranged his posture and used the corner of his eye to scan the door.
Sure enough, just as they were preparing, the door was quickly opened.
The person who entered was a fat man.
His clothes were neatly dressed and didn't match his appearance at all.
He wore an old-fashioned close-combat mirror.
His small eyes occasionally emitted a chilly light.
His mouth and feet were naturally contemptuous, and his hair was oily and shiny.
It turned out that not only a certain person and a certain person had a freakish profession, but a normal computer industry like this would also have a freak..The man stormed into the room, looking as if he owed him money.
It looked like he was going to swallow someone alive.
Yijiang could imagine this man suddenly opening his disgusting mouth and drooling all over the ground.
Then, he swallowed a person in one bite.
In the end, he couldn't escape from his bad luck.Thinking of this, Yijiang couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
In addition to the fact that he was already a little afraid of this man, he didn't dare to move at all.
He simply sat straight in his seat.That's right, this person was their boss.
After killing everyone with his eyes, the man said, "It's been a lot of work recently.
Everyone knows that it's a holiday, right?
We're preparing to take six days off this time."As soon as these words left his mouth, Yijiang and his colleagues couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts and smiled.
However, the man spoke again, "Don't be happy yet!
That's why we'll be working overtime today.
I hope you can understand!"[Understand my ass!
I understand you.
Who the hell understands us?] Yijiang cursed in his heart, but his expression didn't change in the slightest.
"The world's bosses are usually black." Could this really be the case?
If I were to become a boss in the future, I definitely wouldn't be like this.
At that time, I would definitely become an amiable and amiable boss.Yijiang's boss didn't care about the expressions of the others.
After speaking, he immediately left.This was a relatively small company.
Since Yijiang graduated from Sunshine City, he had stayed the longest.
He stayed here for two years and used to apply to other companies because of the school, but no one wanted these graduates.Yijiang knew that he didn't study well, but he could still learn from work!
No one could learn anything as soon as they graduated.Yijiang was still very confident in his learning ability, but he didn't know how people said he didn't have any work experience!
This inevitably angered many graduates.
If all the companies in the world were like this, where would we get work experience?
It seemed that they didn't understand the term 'experts are among the common people'.These were actually Yijiang's complaints about Chengcheng.
He knew that Chengcheng was an extremely powerful person.
Even though he looked weak and weak, he was a smart and capable man.
If such a person couldn't find a good job, then Yijiang really didn't know what kind of people these so-called leaders were..After working overtime, Yijiang said as they parted ways, "Chengcheng!
What's the matter with the holidays?""I'm fine!
What's wrong?"Yijiang had long since become tired of living like a walking corpse, just like Chengcheng had said.
Therefore, he secretly thought of taking advantage of this holiday to invite Chengcheng back to his hometown to play.
He believed that someone who had always lived in the city could bring him to see the glory of nature.
Chengcheng would definitely agree to it."Then do you want to come back to my hometown with me and play?
I'll take you to see what nature looks like!"Chengcheng remained silent for a long time, because he didn't know that Yijiang would suddenly return to his hometown and pull him along.
"Mmm, I can go there at any time!
Then you can tell me when the time comes!"Yijiang was overjoyed, "Ten o'clock tomorrow morning, you'll wait for me at the bus station and I'll call you on the phone.
That's settled then!" Although his tone was somewhat forceful, Yijiang knew Chengcheng's character, and he also knew about their relationship.
That was why Yijiang had expected that he would agree.
However, he didn't expect it to be so direct.
Perhaps it was because he was truly tired of this sort of life.On the way back, Yijiang's face was filled with excitement.
Those who passed by looked at him unconsciously, thinking that he was a mental patient who had given up on treatment.Yijiang didn't care about the gazes of these people.
He only glanced at the "pitiful people" in the world.Back at home, Yijiang lay down on his bed and suddenly recalled all the things that had happened since he was young.
He recalled all the things that had happened in the past, including the things that had happened since he had arrived in this city.
Chengcheng's question appeared in his mind again.
He had yet to determine which type of person he was.
In reality, he wasn't exactly the type of person.
Although sometimes he would be a bit more practical, that was because he had no choice but to face the people of this world.
Where were dreams?
There were also some things that he could put together, but it wasn't entirely.
He only liked to fantasize about his future, but he never liked to plan his future path.
He liked to live a different life every day, and if he planned it, he would lose the joy of life.Unconsciously, Yijiang fell asleep just like that.After a long time, Yijiang suddenly woke up.
The sun was already shining brightly.
He glanced at the time and exclaimed in his heart, "It's not good." He didn't expect that it would be 10 a.m.
on the second day.
In that case, he had slept for more than ten hours, yet he hadn't even taken off his clothes.He didn't have the luxury of time to think about why, because he still had to go back home with Chengcheng today.
After washing up, putting on his clothes, and packing his luggage, he rushed out.A few minutes later, Yijiang got out of the car and called Chengcheng.
It turned out that Chengcheng was already waiting here.
Yijiang smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry!" Chengcheng glanced at Chengcheng, but didn't say a word.
The two of them had just finished buying their tickets at the bus station and waited for them to return.
However, it was already close to noon.
Yijiang's hometown couldn't be said to be far away from Sunshine City, nor could it be near.
They had chosen to take a bus.
If they were to make a train, they would have been able to return home in the middle of the night..The two of them didn't have much to say along the way.
The atmosphere in the carriage was so tense that it made people lose interest in chatting.
However, when Yijiang was still in the carriage, he secretly made a decision in his mind that he would definitely find out where he had been afraid to go.The two of them finally managed to endure this period of time.
The sky was already dark and drowsy.After Yijiang got out of the car, he rushed back, but he didn't forget to take two large breaths of the air in his hometown.
The environment in the countryside was different from the inside of the city, and what breathed in was a natural breath without any pollution."The air outside is better!" Chengcheng couldn't help but sigh."That's right!
Isn't that great?!" Yijiang said as he looked at the approaching village.
An indescribable feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
He felt as if he had suddenly recalled a lot of things in the depths of his heart.
This was a small village named 'Yang Mountain'.There were more than 2,000 people living in the village, about five square kilometers in size.Yijiang grew up here.
Regardless of whether he liked this place or not, this place was where he grew up.
His grandfather, grandmother, and grandfather had moved out of this place.
Now that they had returned to this village, they could only live in the old house of their former home.The old house in Yijiang's house was located in the middle of the entire village.
Not long after walking, the two of them arrived in front of a rusted iron gate.
Yijiang was surprised that the door wasn't locked because Yangshan Village clearly didn't have any relatives to live here, so the door should have been locked.Yijiang gently pushed the door open.
The sound of friction came from the iron gate.The sky was already dark.
Yi Jiang looked into the courtyard under the moonlight.
The courtyard that should have been full of vines and weeds was also clean.
Even the house that should have been shabby was intact.
It was obvious that there were some traces of repair."Eh?
Something doesn't seem right?"Chengcheng immediately asked, "What?
Did you come to the wrong place?""No, this is indeed my home, but it shouldn't be so clean.
It's been a few years since someone stayed here!""Who are you looking for?" an aged voice came from behind the two of them.
Yijiang and Chengcheng were immediately startled by the voice.
A voice suddenly came from behind the black lamp.
Anyone would be scared, not to mention that Yijiang and Chengcheng were both concentrating on their own thoughts.Just as the two of them thought of the voice, they suddenly turned around.
Fortunately, it wasn't some sort of monster behind them.
Instead, there was an old man dressed in simple clothes.
His hair was white and his hand was supported by a walking stick.
His wrinkled face revealed a slight smile.Yijiang heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't recognize this old man, his appearance wasn't scary.
Thus, he calmed down and asked, "Old man!
Are you here to look for someone as well?" The old man chuckled a few times, his laughter mixed with a few coughs, "What's the matter with the two of you coming to me at such a late hour?".Yijiang let out a breath.
Although he didn't know this old man, his appearance wasn't scary.
He calmed down and asked, "Grandpa!
Are you here to look for someone?" The old man first chuckled a few times, his laughter mixed with a few coughs.
"What's the matter with the two of you coming to me at such a late hour?"Yijiang mumbled these words in his mind -?It's obvious that I'm going home.
How did I end up looking for him?!?Yijiang suddenly understood, "Who are you?""I'm just an inconspicuous old man.
You're Little Shao's son, aren't you?
You've already grown up, and I almost can't recognize you." Yijiang knew that Old Master Xiao Shao was his father's nickname, so he said with certainty, "That's right!
It's me!
I'm Yijiang.
This is my classmate, Chengcheng.""..."Chengcheng smiled at the old man and greeted him.
Although Yijiang was the only one who understood his way of greeting him, because he was extremely familiar with Chengcheng.
For someone who usually kept a low profile, being able to smile at him could be considered as giving him great face.
However, Chengcheng's heart was filled with kindness and warmth.
It was just that he didn't like to express it.The old man looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Then let's go inside first!
It's getting late!"The two of them entered the room and lit a candle.
"Why aren't there any lights?" Chengcheng asked casually.The old man smiled bitterly.
"Because I can't use too bright lights when I'm old.
It's dazzling."As soon as Yijiang entered the room, he discovered that the environment inside was much warmer than he had imagined.
It had been a long time since he'd lived in an old house, and he'd slept in an old country.
Finally, he'd felt the warmth of his childhood.
"It's so big.
It's still quite nice to install the three of us.
Come, sit down!" After saying that, the old man walked over to a table and stuffed something into his mouth.
Yijiang understood.
It turned out that the old man was taking medicine.
He believed that it must have been medicine used to treat his cough.Yijiang and Chengcheng were too embarrassed to be humble when they saw the old man's enthusiasm.
They both felt that they weren't from their own home anymore, but Yijiang had still thanked the old man.
The old man smiled and replied, "It's nothing.
I still have to thank your parents.
If they hadn't let me stay here last year, I would have been fed to dogs."The three of them were already seated on the couch.
Yijiang quickly took over the topic and asked, "Grandpa, who exactly are you?
Why haven't I met you before?""It's no wonder you don't recognize me.
I've always had bad legs and feet, but you should know my grandson!
He's about the same age as you.
His name is Zhuyun."Yijiang was the first to confirm that he hadn't heard correctly.
"Zhuyun!
Does that mean he's Zhuyun's grandfather?" Yijiang had once heard Zhuyun mention that he had a grandfather with bad legs.
Zhuyun was a very good friend of Yijiang's.
When he was young, Zhuyun had always been naughty and had always fought with others.
Because he didn't know how to be humble back then, Zhuyun had become much more steady and steady now.
He was no longer as naughty as he had been when he was young..Thinking of this, Yijiang said with a face full of surprise, "I know your grandson.
We are good friends!"The old man was overjoyed.
"Oh?
Is that so?
That's great!"Yijiang hurriedly asked, "That's right!
Didn't Zhuyun return?""Almost there.
There are still two more days."Time ticked by, and Yijiang chatted for over an hour.
In the end, his mouth was dry and his mouth was dry.
The old man had even cooked them a simple meal.
Yijiang and the others had been starving for an entire afternoon.
They had only eaten some bread and snacks in the car, and their stomachs had already begun to growl.
If it hadn't been for the old man's reminder, Yijiang wouldn't have known that they were both hungry.
After dinner, they both went to sleep..That night, the moon was bright, and the sky was full of stars.
Pi Xiu and Pi Xiu were singing happily in the grass.
Occasionally, they would even hear the barks of dogs.
Yijiang flipped over.
Even he didn't know if he was asleep or not, so he focused on listening to the pleasant sound.
Then, he opened his eyes and looked around.
The old man was deep asleep, and Chengcheng was still flipping over.
Perhaps it was because he was not used to sleeping on the field, but his eyes were closed.
He probably didn't even know whether Chengcheng was sleeping or not..The clock on the wall ticked and ticked, and even heard a few snoring sounds.
Yijiang looked out the window again.
The night sky under the countryside was full of stars.
It was really beautiful.
A crescent moon hung in midair, protruding its brightness.Yijiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"So beautiful..." Then he took a deep breath.
At this time, he suddenly realized that there was a star moving in the night sky outside, and it was constantly growing larger and larger.No, that wasn't right.
It wasn't growing larger.
Rather, it was slowly approaching.
In the blink of an eye, the star had already transformed into a radiant object that was even larger than the moon.
As it approached, it appeared in front of Yijiang at some unknown time.
That's right, it was above Yijiang's head.
Yijiang was startled, and his eyes widened in shock as he stared at the radiant object.
Only then did he realize that although the radiant object was glowing, it wasn't dazzling.The glowing body slowly dimmed, and the glowing body slowly appeared.
It was a circular pendant.
From the pattern, it looked like a sun.
Yijiang wanted to take a closer look, but the pendant emitted a blinding light, and he suddenly fainted..
