Chapter 19: Going Home My Wife Becomes My Ex-wife
Walking on the way home, Rulong recalled a lot of things. He remembered that year when he was carrying luggage home. He looked like a man who had just returned from working in another place. A person riding a bicycle came in front of him and dropped a stack of banknotes. Rulong did not pick it up because he was not greedy. If it was not his, he would not want it. What's more, it was such a coincidence. Maybe there was a trap.
Not long after, someone came to ask Rulong, someone dropped a lot of money there, why don't you pick it up? Rulong said calmly, if you want to pick it up, go pick it up, and then quickly left. Later, Rulong heard that it was a scam, and the person who came to talk to you and the person who threw the money were in the same group. The money was real on the top, but fake inside. If someone picked up the money, someone would come and ask you to share the money together, saying that whoever saw it would get a share, and then ask you to give him the money on you to pay for the share, and leave the money you picked up for you.
Now, Rulong really wants to encounter that kind of thing again, so that he can see what tricks the other party is playing? However, the scam is too old-fashioned and has no market, so it is rarely seen.
Rulong came to the train station. He remembered that when he first went out to work, many people slept outside the station to wait for the train. Rulong remembered that there was a young girl who also slept outside the station, like a flower in the cold wind, which made people pity her. Rulong also wrote poems at that time, which probably said that if he wanted to marry, he would marry such a girl. I don't know who the girl is married to now. Young people are always sentimental and sympathetic. Who didn't have such a hard time in that era? Including Rulong himself.
Conditions are much better now. The waiting halls at stations are spacious, and people have some money. Generally, people wait in the waiting hall for a short time, and go to hotels for a long time. Moreover, transportation is well developed now, so many people can arrive on time.
Rulong looked at the people coming and going and recalled the past. At the station, a little girl said that she had lost her money and asked for some money to make a phone call. Rulong saw that she was familiar with the operation and guessed that she was basically a liar, but what if she was not? Rulong gave the other party five yuan. The other party invited Rulong to listen to the phone call, meaning to prove that she was not cheating Rulong, but Rulong refused.
Rulong's idea is that no matter whether it is true or false, I am willing to give you money, so why should I care whether it is true or not? And if it is true, what does it matter if you listen to it? If it is false, others are just acting, who knows, maybe they will run away halfway, or there may be danger. Walking in society is like walking in the rivers and lakes, and there are dangers everywhere.
I heard from my parents that there were more problems in the early years. If you touched someone else's things, you had to buy them. If you touched someone else's things, you would get into trouble. There was no shortage of thefts on the trains. Alas, the economy developed too fast and management couldn't keep up. But now the public security is getting better and better. People have some money. As the saying goes, hunger and cold give rise to the desire to steal, and wealth and nobility give rise to lust. It's because the management level has improved and there are more surveillance. It's actually a combination of reasons.
With Rulong's skills, he doesn't need to buy a train ticket, but Rulong, who still has a sense of discipline and law, is obviously unwilling to evade the ticket. Forget it! It's too conspicuous and too eye-catching, which has a bad influence. If you turn invisible, it will consume spiritual energy, and the wind is too strong when the train is driving, which will definitely not be pleasant.
After walking all the way and recalling all the way, he finally got on the train. The familiar carriage had carried Rulong for so many times. Thinking back to the time when the thief touched Rulong's pockets and woke him up. Rulong glanced at the other person, and the other person walked away tactfully. It was really a bit chaotic at that time, and no one dared to say a word. If you carry a lot of money with you, you probably wouldn't dare to sleep. At that time, the thief probably cursed afterwards, saying that he was a pauper. I also heard that there are people on the train who use liquid can lids to win prizes to cheat people, but Rulong has never seen it.
I have seen many people quarreling and fighting over the space to put their luggage. There are too many people and too much luggage, and the workers carry large and small bags. At the beginning, Rulong carried a very large bag, and the large bag could only be placed at the connection between the carriages, and Rulong was still not at ease. Nowadays, the conditions are much better, and people seem to be much more civilized.
Rulong smiled as he recalled the past. It seemed like it was so long ago, yet it also seemed to be right in front of him. The scenery he had seen, the beauties he had seen, and the jokes he had heard along the way would all be stored in Rulong's memory, accompanying him on his journey through another world.
At this moment, a song sounded on the radio in the carriage, a song that Rulong was familiar with because he wrote it.
That year I went home
The child hid behind his grandmother and looked at me secretly.
How many growing years are there in life?
I don't deserve to play with my children.
That year I went home
My mother has so many more white hairs, it makes me sad
How many springs, autumns, winters and summers are there in life?
I owe it to my parents to spend more time with them
That year I went home
The child called mom and dad back from a distance
What else is there to seek when life is so blessed?
No matter how hard or tired you are, what does it matter?
The more I think about it, the more I want to go home
The more I think about my child and my mother
The more I think about it, the more tears I shed
I'm a man who wants to go home.
It's all for home
So I left it
The older I get, the more I worry
That's why worry will bloom into crystal tears
The trains home leave one after another
How can those who stay behind have the heart to work?
Home hides moist love in the heart
No matter how strong a person is, he will cry when he is touched.
For home
We pass it on from generation to generation
Rulong's eyes were moist. That was the portrayal of his life in the past! Working was really too hard, too sad, and too helpless. Rulong missed home!
Rulong remembered that his wife used to say that he didn't like to call home to say hello. Rulong's father said, what's the point of calling, just bring money back. I don't know if his father was defending his son, blaming Rulong for not getting enough money, or just speaking his mind.
But this time, Rulong brought money home. Is 1 billion enough? Rulong thought about it, and a bright smile appeared on his face. But Rulong didn't want to be too ostentatious. He really felt like a man in fine clothes walking at night. But Rulong didn't like to be in the limelight. He was calm and didn't like to be arrogant. Moreover, he was now a cultivator, so he was not interested in showing off in front of mortals.
As the train was moving, Rulong would occasionally look around to see if there was anyone he knew. In the past, Rulong even wondered if he would meet his first love on the train. Rulong is a nostalgic person.
After getting off the train and leaving the station, he took a bus to a small county town. Rulong was walking on his way home when his eyes suddenly lit up. This woman looked so familiar. The young woman still had her charm and her fashionable outfit was quite charming. Rulong looked closely and thought, "Oh, isn't that my wife?" How come she has changed so much in just one year? Rulong didn't dare to recognize her, because he looked like two different people. If it weren't for his soul consciousness, he would not have looked the same when he was cast into a dragon soul treasure body.
If he rashly went to meet her, he might be considered a psychopath, or even cause a big mess and unnecessary trouble. Rulong was thinking about how to meet her when a high-end BYD new energy car drove over. A middle-aged man who looked rich opened the door and said a few words to Rulong's wife, who then got into the car with a smile on her face.
Rulong seemed to be struck by lightning. Looking at their expressions, their unusual relationship, could it be that, hey, if it rains, who can control it? Besides, she has disappeared from his eyes for a year. She is young, it is normal for her to remarry, but it is too fast in such a short time.
Rulong lamented the coldness of human nature and the fickleness of the world. Human nature is as thin as paper, and people's hearts are no longer the same. In the blink of an eye, his wife has become his ex-wife. But Rulong has nothing to say. He still has an unclear relationship with Zhu Ruxin, so what right does he have to blame others? It's good now. Rulong doesn't have to worry about committing bigamy.
Rulong knew in his heart that as a cultivator, he no longer completely belonged to this era, and was no longer completely bound by this era. However, having been born on this land and raised under this blue sky, the legal consciousness in his bones still reminded him from time to time what he was suitable to do and what he was not suitable to do, so he considered the crime of bigamy.
Rulong laughed at himself. His ex-wife had always wanted to marry a rich man. She was so lucky that she finally found a rich man. But, didn't she have money? She was not rich in the past. Rulong was happy for her, but also felt sorry for her. She was relieved, and so was Rulong. It was a happy thing for everyone, so why couldn't Rulong be happy?
