human suffering

Chapter 7 Do I still have to buy steamed buns when buying cigarettes?

Cai Gen held the takeaway bag in one hand and the handrail of the stairs in the other.

According to memory, go down in the dark.

He didn't dare to cough, for fear of seeing the terrifying shadow.

Things in the world, the more afraid of what, what to come.

It was after four o'clock in the morning, just when I was walking the lung meridian, and I smoked a lot tonight.

Coughing, like hiccups and farts, became an irrepressible instinct.

Cai Gen had just descended one flight of stairs when he started coughing non-stop.

The more I tried to suppress the sound of coughing, the more my throat became itchy.

Tears were choked out, but they couldn't be held back.

He simply coughed, and the voice-activated light came on again.

Cai Gen saw from his tears that there was no shadow around him.

Beside him was a group of black shadows, charred black shadows, all hurried downstairs with him.

Since they went downstairs faster than Cai Gen, they all avoided his figure automatically, and none of them touched Cai Gen's body.

Cai Gen became a rock in the flow of people, and when he met him, the black image separated automatically like a current of water.

Can they see themselves?Can they perceive themselves?

The answer is yes, it's more terrifying than going through your own body.

Without stopping, it is like coughing without stopping.

Cai Gen was a little numb, walking mechanically, following the flow of people.

Cai Gen can't remember how many floors he went down, he just walked like that, following the flow of people.

His legs were already sore, and his muscles were stiff with every step, but he continued to descend the stairs.

Going endlessly, going down, going down, like going to the depths of the earth.

"The spring breeze of reform is blowing all over the land, and the Chinese people are really struggling"

The ringing of the phone interrupted this endless walk, and the shadow around him disappeared.

"The spring breeze of reform is blowing all over the land, and the Chinese people are really struggling"

When the bell rings for the third time.

Cai Gen woke up suddenly, stretched out his hand and took out his mobile phone, it was his wife, oh my god, it was his wife.

Hurry up to connect, and the sound of my wife's sleeplessness came from the opposite side,

"Lao Gen, what's wrong with you? Send me a WeChat message, I didn't see it until I got up to go to the toilet, what do you mean?

Are you drinking too much again?Everyone told you not to drink so much, but you just don't listen, you are in the store, no one cares about you, right? "

Listening to his wife talking more and more, she became more energetic and seemed to be sober. Cai Gen was not easy to explain, so he quickly said,

"Wife, it's alright, go to sleep, I'm riding a battery car, it's cold outside and my hands are freezing."

As soon as my wife heard it, she was riding a battery car and was delivering meals, so it wasn't because she drank too much, so she regained her confusion and said lazily.

"It's fine, you pay attention to safety. I continued to sleep."

Then hung up the phone.

Cai Gen put away the phone, looked up, and saw a blood-red 7 character through the miserable green light.

After walking for so long, did you reach the 7th floor?

But the soreness of the legs and the stiff muscles reminded Cai Gen, who has practiced long-distance running, to run at least 2 kilometers to have this feeling.

As a result, he only went down a floor?

It seemed that I had already coughed, and I didn't want to cough anymore. I felt the darkness and walked down. With the help of the dark green light of the safety exit, I kept going down.

Why does that green light move?

Like two small green light bulbs, half a flight of stairs away from them.

I go to the next floor, and the two green bulbs go to the next floor.

He stood still, neither did the two green dots.

The heart conquers fear.

I couldn't help coughing, and wanted to use the voice-activated light to see what it was?

When the light came on, the owner of the pair of small light bulbs showed a figure, a big mouse, but the tail was a bit like a squirrel, and the eyes were a bit big.

That green light came from those big eyes.

I didn't look at the mousetrap next to me, just stared at Cai Gen.

Cai Gen found that he had reached the second floor, and there was only one floor left.

Overcome the fear of the big mouse and continue downstairs.

Seeing Cai Gen go downstairs, the big mouse also went down, and then disappeared.

Cai Gen didn't go looking for the big mouse either, he pushed open the stair door and came out quickly.

The hall is still the same hall, and the security guard is still snoring on the sofa. Nothing has changed because of Cai Gen's experience.

Cai Gen was really fed up, he quickly walked through the hall, entered the revolving door, and left the hotel.

Ride on the battery car and go, but after walking more than 10 meters, the speed of the car slows down.

Cai Gen looked back at the hotel. It was pitch black upstairs, and none of the windows were lit. The pitch blackness of each window was like a dense, charred shadow.

The lobby downstairs was also pitch-dark, with only one row of spotlights, illuminating a few bright red characters in the Red Romance Hotel. It was extraordinarily eerie among the many black shadows, which were far away and still clear.

Turning around, twisting the battery car with all my strength, the car rushed forward, the follow-up strength was insufficient, it was difficult, slow, and it was going to death, and the speed never picked up again.

I was in a hurry to go upstairs just now and forgot to turn off the lights. It took 2 hours and it was over 20 degrees below zero. The battery was seriously aged and out of power.

Cai Gen, at 04:30 in the morning, pushed the battery car and walked to the store.

He also tried to walk, but the dead battery car, unlike a bicycle, was more tiring than pushing.

The sanitation workers who were sweeping the streets had already come out.

They are admirable, but it is said that they are all hired from outside.

Work five times as much for one-fifth of the salary.

Is it fair?Is it unfair?Are you suffering?Isn't life hard?

At 4:20 in the morning, I pushed the battery car and walked on the street with more than minus [-] degrees.

Is it fair?Is it unfair?

Live it!

The sweat on his body just now has soaked his underwear, and the cold air outside, along the hem of the down jacket, ruthlessly wreaked havoc on the surface of his body.

I feel like I've fallen into an ice hole, it's so cold.

Cai Gen was accustomed to reaching out to touch the cigarette, and there was only an empty cigarette case left in his pocket.

After walking for half an hour, my body finally sweated again because of the activity, and the battery car was pushed around. I was really tired.

I saw a commissary with lights on, maybe it was to bring breakfast and open the door early.

Cai Gen parked the car and ran to the window of the supermarket. Because it was very hot in the house, the windows were full of white window grilles, which were very beautiful.

Carefully knocked on the window, and after a while, it opened.

Cai Gen quickly put his head in, it was really warm inside, and quickly pointed to the cigarette he often smoked,

"That's it, here's a box."

A middle-aged woman in pajamas, unkempt, seems to have just woken up.

It seems that I was making noodles just now, my hands are all white, I took a box of cigarettes pointed by Cai Gen, and put them in the window,

"7 bucks 5."

"Isn't it 7 yuan? I've been drawing for several years, and it's always been 7 yuan."

"8 yuan after 7 o'clock, 7 yuan at night."

Cai Gen stared at the cigarette for a moment,

"Then, no more."

She was about to leave when she retracted her head, and the woman inside shouted hurriedly,

"Forget it, I'll sell you a box for 7 yuan. We sell it for 7 yuan and 5 yuan at night. Do you buy steamed buns?"

Cai Gen did not speak any more, took out 10 yuan, handed it in, and took the cigarette in his hand.

　The fox sleep is broken, the rabbit walks on the barren platform, it is the place of singing and dancing in the past; the dew is cold and the yellow flowers, the smoke is lost and the grass is lost, all of them belong to the battlefield of the old days, how often do they rise and fall?Strong or weak?It's frustrating to read this!Quoted from "Cai Root Tan"
