Imagine the world

Chapter 5 The Light of Darkness

Old man Yang's grocery store is a small two-story building in front, and there is a yard in the back. The yard wall is some distance from the surrounding buildings. It covers an area of ​​almost [-] square meters.

Fesuo Port is not Dongguo SIPG. The land is very cheap. It is hard to say how high the housing price is for the locals, but it is definitely not high for Mr. Yang.

During the riots 15 years ago, many buildings were abandoned. Old man Yang can occupy as many places as he wants, as long as he can hold it.But old man Yang didn't take the opportunity to occupy the land. His grocery store was a small two-story building with a backyard at that time.In the past ten years or so, people have been pouring into the city from the villages of various tribes, and the port of Feisuo has become crowded again.

In the impression of the local people, although the old man Yang is a Chinese from the East, he came earlier than everyone in the neighborhood.It's as if he's ever opened a grocery store here.

Yes, throughout history, this idiom is not wrong.The average life expectancy of the local people is only in their early thirties. There is an old saying in Dongguo that "a life of seventy is rare since ancient times". It is not uncommon to live to 70 years old in Dongguo today, but in Feisuo Port, this poem is particularly accurate. .

Old man Yang has been running a grocery store here for at least 30 years.Why say at least, because the longest memory of the locals for this neighborhood is more than 30 years.Because of the war and turmoil, some people died and some people left. Old man Yang became the longest-lived resident here. He and his grocery store are like a miracle or a historical relic.

The front door of the grocery store facing the street faces north, and there is a side door to the west, which opens to the kitchen.The kitchen is huge, with nine stoves in it.Hua Zhenxing walked through the kitchen, took the stairs in the living room to the second floor, and entered his bedroom.

Many streets and alleys in Fesuo Port are not equipped with street lights, and even where there are street lights, many light bulbs are broken.Some idle bad boys like to play the game of streetlights when they have nothing to do. It is enough to break a streetlight and throw a stone, and it is difficult to wait for the maintenance personnel to fix it.

The curtains are open, and although there are no street lights outside, there is still a shimmer of light penetrating on a sunny night. If your eyes have adapted to the dark environment, you can still vaguely distinguish the outlines of some objects in the house.Hua Zhenxing suddenly felt that something was wrong, his eyes narrowed, but his neck didn't move.

Someone was hiding in the bedroom, clinging to the side of the cabinet.Hua Zhenxing didn't seem to react at all, but his mind was spinning quickly. It seems that this was not a friendly visit. Could it be that what Charles said in the bar last night was heard, and the other party thought that he was also an accomplice of Charles, so to deal with yourself?

Hua Zhenxing went straight to the bed quietly, avoiding the light and drawing the curtains.The curtains had a light-blocking layer, and when they were closed, the room turned into darkness where no fingers could be seen. He had already taken out the finger tiger and put it on his left hand.

From the lurker's point of view, he would never realize that he had been exposed.Old man Yang has taught Hua Zhenxing a long time ago. If you find someone trying to ambush you and you think you are hiding well, you must be calm in your first reaction. It is best to let the other party not know that you have found him, and then try to counteract it suddenly.

This is the advantage of striving for an information asymmetry.The other party hides and wants to attack, he knows you but you don't know him, he has the advantage of information; but you have discovered him but he does not know, you also have the advantage of information in turn, you need to make good use of this kind of information. Advantage.

At the moment when the curtains were drawn, the other party could no longer see Hua Zhenxing, but Hua Zhenxing dodged and silently reached the other side of the cabinet, with the paratrooper knife already appearing in his right hand.There is a large cabinet between him and the lurker. Even if the other party shoots, he can't hit. If he wants to use a knife, he has to go around and know his position.

At this moment, he suddenly relaxed and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, are you not afraid that I will kill your old man with one shot?"

President Yang is what he usually calls old man Yang, and the old man likes others to call him that.Old man Yang's voice came from the other side of the cabinet: "You didn't bring a gun with you when you went out today. Did you touch the small pistol hidden behind the curtain just now?"

Huazhenxing has a pistol, which is very small and has a self-made muffler, which is hidden behind the curtain. He actually wanted to touch the gun just now when he opened the curtain, but he didn't touch it.Hua Zhenxing snorted: "So you're afraid too? I'm afraid I'll shoot you if I get nervous."

Old man Yang: "I'm just testing your reaction to see if you'll be nervous when the gun is gone."

Hua Zhenxing: "How many times have you played this trick! I'm not afraid that I will actually encounter danger in the future and think it's you trying to test it, but it's broken. Haven't you heard the story of 'the wolf is coming'?"

Hearing the voice, the old man Yang had come out from behind the cabinet: "Vigilance is actually a habit, as long as you learn to react correctly every time."

Hua Zhenxing put away the finger tiger and the paratrooper knife, and lifted two sandbags from his feet and hung them on a hook above his head. The room suddenly lit up, and at the same time, there was a faint sound of mechanical rotation.

There is a device hanging on the wall, in the shape of a bowl the size of a disc, and in the center of the disc is an LED light bulb the size of a grain of rice, which is the kind used for mobile phone flashlights.A wire string protrudes from the underside of the disc, with a hook.Two heavy sandbags were hung up, the wire rope was slowly pulled out, and the small light bulb came on.

The principle of this thing is actually not complicated, it is similar to a mechanical clock, but its power does not come from a spring, but the potential energy of a heavy object falling, and the gear set is not driven by a dial but a micro motor, and the output power is less than One watt, will be enough to light a small light bulb like that.

Its official name is the Black Desolation Lighting Lamp, and it has a well-known origin and is a charitable aid project.It is a well-known international charitable fund in Mijianguo, through the United Nations rescue organization, to assist the people's livelihood in the black and deserted continent.There are many places in the Black Desolate Continent that have not been powered on, and this thing can illuminate at night.

The LED lights used in mobile phones, although the power is very small, the brightness is not low. In a small area, people can see the surrounding things clearly. If they are close enough, they can even read the text on the book, which is a bit of an eyesore.

This kind of passive lighting is actually ordered in Yiwu City, Dongguo. The ex-factory price is 80 yuan in Dongguo. For large orders, it can be reduced to 60 yuan. The fund's project list is 200 meters of gold each, and it is claimed that 50 have been donated to Guli and surrounding areas, and the port of Feisuo has also been donated.

The one hanging in Huazhen’s house was taken from the store and has been disassembled and modified. The hanging object is divided into two sandbags, each weighing 10 kg, and dropped to the ground from a height of more than two meters. Light up for ten minutes. What to do after [-] minutes, you can retract the steel wire rope and continue to hang sandbags to re-light.

Port Fiso has electricity supply, but there are frequent power outages, so it is more convenient to hang such a thing in the house.Grocery stores do not receive international aid, which is exchanged by locals for money to buy things.The retail price for takeaway from the grocery store is 80 yuan, and the wholesale price is 60 yuan.

The glow of rice-grain-sized bulbs dispels the darkness and illuminates the room.There was a cabinet on the side against the wall, Hua Zhenxing stood on the side opposite the door, on the other side of the room was a window, and there was a bed on the left side of the window.

Hua Zhenxing's pistol, which was hidden behind the curtain at the head of the bed, has now been placed on the table.The table is to the right of the window, and there is only one chair in front of it.Old man Yang turned his chair around and sat facing Hua Zhenxing, and asked with his legs crossed, "What are you doing, go home and sneak like a thief?"

Hua Zhenxing: "I said hello to you before I went out, and I went to the Happy Bar with the big man Heshire."

Old man Yang: "You didn't learn to chew grass and smoke leaves from them, did you?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Of course not! I don't touch those things, I just drink."

Old man Yang pouted: "Erguotou mixed with banana wine, put it in the footbath, and a bunch of people gathered around and sucked with straw..."

Hua Zhenxing quickly interrupted: "Don't say it, it sounds disgusting."

The local characteristic "cocktail" is to use home-made banana wine mixed with some spirits such as whiskey and vodka, but now it is basically the Erguotou made in the East, because it is cheap and powerful.

After the wine is mixed, some sugar will be added to it. The taste is very strange and unpleasant, but it is very popular with the locals.They have a very popular way of drinking, which is to put the wine in a wooden tub, and then sit in a circle, each holding a long grass stalk to suck it, looking at the expression like a god-like enjoyment, drinking and talking at the same time, and often Sing.

The Erguotou that Joy Bar uses to mix "cocktails" is bought from a grocery store.There is even Maotai in the grocery store, and Huazhenhang doesn't need to go there to taste such a bad drink if he wants to drink.But the atmosphere there is different. This is completely different from the feeling of drinking small wine at home. It is easy to get excited when you drink and drink, and people in the circle will be very excited.

But after hearing what Old Man Yang said, the wooden tub for the wine was indeed the same style as the footbath he used, and he probably bought it from a grocery store.Although it was not used to wash feet, it seemed to be dirty and sticky... I don't know how it was so good at that time.

The old man Yang smiled: "You have to endure the disgust! Whose youth is not ridiculous, you have grown up and learned to go clubbing. But how much alcohol are you drinking until now?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Actually, I came back before midnight, but when I was about to get home, I somehow got drunk and slept against the wall."

Old man Yang: "You have a big heart, so remember your lessons in the future. You haven't lost anything, are you still virginity?"

Old man Yang often speaks out of shape, Hua Zhenxing replied: "I didn't lose anything, I just had a dream, such a strange dream! I actually dreamed of the world 500 years later. I planned to have a good chat with you tomorrow. Woolen cloth."

Old man Yang: "Oh, what dream? Let's talk about it now."

At this time, Hua Zhenxing felt that the wine was completely awake, and he was still very energetic, and he didn't feel sleepy at all, so he also sat down and told about the dream just now.

That dream was not like a dream at all, it was like a personal experience of transmigration. It felt like he really had such an identity, witnessed such a world, and even had such a life.

He really hopes that he is the person in his dream, living in such a world.The dream may seem absurd, but the real Fesso port is even more absurd.With this feeling, Hua Zhenxing ended the story.

Old man Yang: "Have you finished?"

Hua Zhenxing: "After that, I can't remember many places."

Old man Yang: "I can't remember how much I can say?"

Hua Zhenxing was a little embarrassed and said: "I made up many details in my brain, and I even thought about it, thinking that it should probably be the case."

The old man Yang suddenly burst out laughing so hard that Hua Zhenxing was inexplicable.

　The new book was released on the first day, so even nine chapters were added to describe Hua Zhenxing's dream completely.My writing rhythm over the years is very clear to my old book friends. I don’t write fast. Basically, I only have one chapter a day, occasionally double updates, and sometimes go out for drinks and ask for leave.The new book is basically still updated at this pace, and the update time is basically at noon.

　　I haven't published a book at the starting point for three years, and I don't quite understand many new rules and new gameplay, and I am learning and adapting.The new book is on the list. I urge everyone to support it. I don't know much about the current ranking rules. In short, I will ask you for whatever votes you have. Thank you!
