Spy Family

After turning 40, I discovered several “secrets” about myself.

First of all, I am naturally left-handed. I discovered this because I changed my razor from electric to manual. Then one day I suddenly realized that I was more accustomed to holding the razor with my left hand and didn't find it difficult at all.

I continued to observe and found that for all habits developed in childhood, such as holding chopsticks, use the right hand, and for all new actions after middle age, use the left hand. If you put your hands on the table, the left hand will be moved involuntarily.

The strangest thing is that I don’t remember the “correction” process at all. Ever since I was little, I have naturally used my right hand. Although the posture of holding chopsticks has never been standard, which has led to low efficiency and I cannot pick up smooth food. I often failed at it, but I attributed this phenomenon to being undisciplined as a child until I discovered the secret of being left-handed.

I once had a left-handed person. I don’t know whether it was because I was too shy or for some reason.

In my novels, the protagonist is always perseverant and refuses to give up his principles no matter how much pressure he is under. As a result, I unknowingly gave up my natural habits and was changed so completely, even after discovering the secret. , and don’t want to redevelop the function of the left hand.

Faced with such a trivial matter, I came to a crossroads: turning left means being cynical, criticizing one's own weakness, and just giving in. I have never realized it. I am really like the children in the short video who are tested by their parents or teachers. , facing the food temptation of the bad guy, saying ok cheerfully; turning right means going with the flow, telling yourself that this is a trivial matter, so trivial that thinking about it for a while would seem morbid, and most people will never do it in their lifetime. After discovering their talents, a mathematical genius may be working as a salesman. At the same time, a social genius may be chewing professional books that he is not interested in at all. And many left-handers, like me, at some point in their childhood , happily joined the right-hand party.

Since it is a crossroads, there are not only left and right, but also a way forward: keep everything as it is, and treat your left hand as a reward, just like an old object that has been used for many years at home, suddenly turns out to be a cultural relic, worthless, but you can take it out occasionally. Show off in a small way, such as encouraging your wife to use her left hand unskilledly, and then - this kind of game is enough once or twice, but not more.

The second secret contains some real pain.

I actually have wisdom teeth, which have been hidden longer than the gift of my left hand. I once carefully checked my teeth with my eyes, the tip of my tongue, and my fingers, and it was confirmed that there are twenty-eight. I have always been very happy, because I heard that there will be some pain when the wisdom teeth come out. .

Reality always likes to slap me in the face. My wisdom teeth will never come out because they are impacted teeth, long and perfectly hidden under the gums. I have never noticed it until one of them caused inflammation and caused me pain at night. I couldn't sleep, and they informed me in the most ostentatious way: You have wisdom teeth, and you have to endure more severe pain than your teeth.

As long as my wisdom teeth are half as shy as a left-hander, I can live in peace with them, but now I have no choice but to fight to the death and make a settlement: after the Spring Festival, when the weather is warm, choose a place with no wind, no rain, no frost and no snow. On an auspicious day, ask a dental expert to draw a knife and cut it in two.

There was no crossroads in front of me, just a sharp turn.

The last secret is a bit spooky.

I have a flat head. I noticed this not from self-observation, but from the discovery that today’s children’s heads are generally round, and there is a trend of becoming more and more round.

After touching with my palms, reflecting in two mirrors, and observing from a third party, I confirmed that I have a flat head.

Of course, I will not be satisfied with having my hair flat. I am happy to find that this is a phenomenon of the times. People of my generation generally have flat heads, regardless of gender or race. Then, I don’t know which year, round heads started. It began to increase gradually and rapidly, and has become absolutely mainstream among children.

I told my mother about this, and she immediately replied, North and south heads, they don't look good.

Even beauty standards have changed dramatically.

Things were relatively ordinary up to this point, but once I noticed this, I couldn't help but look at the side of some people, or above - in a certain season of Game of Thrones, there was a camera that shot down on the top of the Dragon Mother's head, Boy, that's not a round head, it's a long head.

I can guess that this is most likely due to the hairstyle, because actresses with special hairstyles often have hair styles that go further on the North-South road.

But one thing is certain, the human head is undergoing a transition from flat to round, and some impatient people have already begun to change from round to long.

What does this mean?

What does this mean?

Anyone who has seen Alien will know what I am thinking of.

I was a little scared, it felt like - I was standing at someone else's crossroads, the other person was driving a forklift, I was using my bare hands, the other person was making a choice, and I had to guess the outcome accurately so that I could avoid it in advance...

I am a person who is good at comforting myself and will not stand at other people's crossroads for too long. I said to myself: Don't worry, haven't you noticed that this is a long process? The transition will be completed silently, and the flat-headed people will not be persecuted. If they are less random, they will not even notice it.

I also want to say to the new generation: I accept reality and am at peace, so don’t worry, just run on the road of evolution and don’t pay attention to conspiracy theorists like me.

Conspiracy theories are a good thing. There is no need to investigate or read any difficult documents. All doubts can be explained clearly by sitting at home, from the universe to the individual.

But conspiracy theories are useless. We say that human society is controlled by a secret group, so what? Life is still life, we can’t even find this “group” anywhere. When we need to solve problems, we can still only start from ourselves and those around us.

There's no way to prove conspiracy theories wrong, but cutting them out of your life won't make any difference.

After a while, this article fell into the sublimation stage that everyone hates. To summarize briefly: many plans that seem to be a big chess game are similar to conspiracy theories. They can be present or not, and have little impact on reality; Many painful experiences in life may have the simplest solution. Although the pain becomes more painful, it can be uprooted afterward; many changes occur unknowingly, and looking back, the changer himself cannot explain the detailed process.

Spies ends here, but it looks like it is the beginning: the war is not over yet, interstellar exploration has just restarted, Guihai is unknown whether it has been deleted, and the Jiazi people are moving away from ordinary humans, as if they are planning something...

This is New Origin, readers who like this book and like fantasy, please continue.

I have to talk about clichés. Thank you to all readers. For me, you are the biggest motivation for writing. I wish you all a Happy New Year in advance. In the Year of the Tiger, the tiger will be prosperous. The head will be round and the shape will be more perfect. The head will be flat. Shake hands. Thank you. Neither is alone.

Thanks to the three silver leaders nocrykyle, Crab Monkey, and Meow Meow. No matter whether you are oblate or round, I believe you all have the best head shape.

I would like to thank Weibo netizens Teng Wangge Lanting and Sanbai Jiashi who worked tirelessly to help me find typos. I am ashamed that I could not eliminate the occurrence of such mistakes until the last chapter.

Finally, let’s talk about the future arrangements. I need to rest for a few months. The most important thing is to remove the four wisdom teeth. Overall, I still want to thank them for being quiet most of the time. The next step is to prepare the next novel. , if there is no surprise, it is the Castles in the Sky series in which I have written several short stories before. The title of the book is yet to be determined. I have a lot of ideas in my mind. In order to express them, I may change the writing method, which is also to be determined.

goodbye.
