Chapter 16: Three in the Morning
"Where there's a will, there's a way. And you still have the Qiankun in your hands, this matter can be said to be ironclad, but because it is like this, it requires your unremitting efforts and continuous progress to realize this dream. Come on, Yixing, it's a little late today, you should hurry home first, or your mother should be worried, it's already past three o'clock. ”
"What? It's more than three o'clock? What's the situation? Venerable Tai Chi, are you kidding me? How can you, an old man, deceive a teenager? ”
"I'm not idle until three o'clock in the morning and still lied to a child, of course it's true, you hurry home! Maybe your mom will wake up any later. When the time comes, you won't blame me for anything! ”
"Okay, I know, I'll leave now, but how should I get out of this place?"
I pointed to the slide that I had just slid down from above, and motioned to Venerable Tai Chi, it was clear that the slide could not go up from below.
"Yixing, can you look more carefully in the future, can't you see that there is a ladder there? It's really sloppy enough. He said, pointing to the back of the wooden iron ball.
I looked to see where he was pointing, and there was indeed a ladder embedded in the wall, and I was a little embarrassed about my sloppiness, and said.
"Well, I'm sorry, I was too careless. Then I'll go first, Venerable Taiji, do you want to go? Or do you want to stay here? "I'll walk in a while, but I don't have to go up the stairs from here, you can walk by yourself, be careful on the way." "Okay, I forgot that you're not an ordinary person, so I'll go first, goodbye." After saying goodbye to Venerable Tai Chi, I walked over to the ladder and climbed up after dividing five by two.
After coming up, I went to the storeroom of the bookstore, and when I came out of here, I found this exit in a very inconspicuous corner of the whole storeroom. To put it simply, even if a person has been to this storeroom countless times, he will not necessarily notice it.
I walked out of this corner and walked to the center of the storeroom, where the stool with the gossip diagram was still upside down on the ground, and the eight buttons were still there, the bottomless hole had not changed, and the only thing that had changed in the whole room was my body and the book in my hand.
I was in a state of dazed again, and I didn't know what I was thinking, probably thinking about how hard I was going to work in the future.
It wasn't until his foot accidentally hit the stool on the ground that he came to his senses. As my feet knocked the stool off the shallow round pit in the ground, the eight pale blue buttons on the ground were all retracted into the ground in an instant, and the bottomless hole was filled in by a raised floor. I picked up the stool I had kicked down and put it back where it was. Everything in the storeroom is back to the way it was when I first arrived.
I don't have time to stay here, every minute counts now, and I have to be at home as fast as I can. I rushed outside, locked the door to the storeroom and the door to the bookstore with the key on the table, and then quickly got on my bike and rushed to my home.
At three o'clock in the morning, the street is very quiet, there is no hustle and bustle on weekdays, there is no flickering neon lights, there is no sunlight, everything seems so calm. The moonlight sprinkled on the ground and on the buildings, adding a touch of natural beauty to the whole evening. The street lamps stood in front of me in rows, neat and orderly, like two rows of soldiers standing guard, waiting for the leader's review, and I enjoyed the unexpected beauty.
But a beautiful view is always a rare sight, and this beautiful night cannot escape its final fate. Gradually, the scenery around me seemed to change, and there was a street lamp that seemed to be my mother, sitting on a small stool in front of the house with tears in her eyes, waiting for me to return. Another street lamp seemed to be a passer-by scolding me for making my parents worry about these fleeting scenes, which reminded me of my mother who had fallen asleep at home, and the seeds of guilt began to be sown in my heart, and then gradually blossomed and bore fruit, until my whole heart was filled, making me feel very uncomfortable, I wonder if my mother has noticed that I am not there now, whether I am still asleep.
In retrospect, I have grown so big now, and I am taller than my parents, but I have never let her enjoy any of my blessings, but I have made her worry too much about me.
Thinking of this, my eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, the only people in this world who can be good to you without asking for anything in return should be your parents! Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, break their hearts for their children*, they never ask for anything in return, they only want their children to live well, and they are satisfied.
At that moment, I suddenly began to feel that the greatest emotion in the world is family affection, although it is not as romantic as the most romantic love, nor is it like the most sincere friendship, it is so quiet, it seems to be a great feeling, but it is the easiest to be ignored and forgotten, but even if it is forgotten, it still does not leave, which is the greatness of family affection.
Love, when I got married, I said that the mountains and seas swear, the sea and the rocks will never be separated, how many people divorce because they don't understand and understand after marriage? Such a high divorce rate in society now has explained many problems, in fact, sometimes think about it, is it really unbearable to give up the sweet life at the beginning?
The word friendship sounds intimate and heart-to-heart, but how many people abandon friendship because of interests and rights, turn against good brothers, and draw swords against each other. Where did the original relationship between brothers change clothes and pants to wear each other? Is it really that worthless?
But family affection will not be like this, when you are hit by love in the outside society, betrayed by friends, home will always be your warm harbor, here, you can really let go of yourself, there is no intrigue in the officialdom, there is no struggle in the workplace, there is no love in the love of children and daughters, there is just a word of concern and comfort from your parents.
And I have failed this greatest affection in the world, I feel that I am really sorry for them, and I have secretly resolved in my heart that I will never let my parents worry about my safety again.
The bicycle under my feet unconsciously sped up again, and I arrived home in a short time.
I inserted my key into the door as fast as I could, turning it gently, for fear that a little louder would wake my parents.
Finally, the door opened with my little by little twist key, and the house was dark.
