"Did a new tenant move into the room next door?"
Meng Lang muttered as he walked inside.
The rental house he lives in is located in an urban village in the old city. People who live here are generally migrant workers from other places, and they come from all walks of life. There is also a lot of mobility of people.
The living environment is not considered friendly, and the only advantage is that it is cheap.
"Cuckoo~" At this moment, the sound from his stomach made Meng Lang realize that he didn't seem to have eaten well this morning.
He instinctively picked up a bag of "Soup Master" on the table and started eating.
After boiling the water, I was about to tear open the package when my hands suddenly froze.
[I drank a lot that day and after vomiting blood and being hospitalized, the doctor found out that I had advanced gastric cancer...]
Late stage gastric cancer...
Late stage...
These words suddenly appeared in his mind like an echo, making Meng Lang's heart tremble.
Yes, what caused his miserable life was not just investment failure?
Some people exchange health for money, and some people exchange money for health. My life was so miserable, and I had neither...
Like many college students, I started eating irregularly when I was in college. I often missed breakfast, often had spicy food for lunch, and had dinner at a roadside stall.
After leaving home, Meng Lang was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, enjoying the freedom of willfulness.
When it comes to work, takeout and instant noodles are commonplace.
However, all this does not seem to be without cost...
Meng Lang sighed and slowly put down the instant noodles, his eyes slowly becoming determined.
He decided that from today on, he would be a health-preserving person, lighting fires, cooking, providing firewood, rice, oil and salt. From today on, he would care about food and vegetables.
It is best to rent a room with a kitchen and a bathroom, facing the sea.
"Hmm... I'm looking up some recipes to keep healthy, by the way! Doesn't my dad, a little expert in group chatting, always post this?
In the past, I was still too young and had no desire to click on the title when I saw it. Now think about it, if you have an elder in your family, if you have a treasure, you should still learn from the experience of the elders.”
Meng Lang immediately took out his mobile phone and prepared to make a long-term health regimen for himself.
Goodbye fried chicken, beer and barbecue! Goodbye potato chips, cola and instant noodles!
It's not that I don't love you anymore, it's mainly because I'm afraid of death.
“‘Introduction to health preservation—teaching you how to maintain a Buddhist-style health!’ This seems to be quite reliable.
Huh? What?! Put wolfberry in beer, Coke... put Codonopsis pilosula?
How the hell is this okay?!
Wait, wait, maybe I opened it the wrong way!
‘Advanced health care – core secrets of high-end health care’, take a look at this.
Cordyceps sinensis in the left hand, bird's nest donkey hide gelatin in the right hand... As long as there is no shortage of money, you can live to nine hundred and ninety-nine?!
Next! ‘Ancient method of health preservation – health preservation method of eight meridians and eight meridians’.
The Ren meridian governs blood, and the Du meridian governs qi. Blood is yin and qi is yang. Dredge the Ren and Du meridians to regulate the balance of yin and yang. If the yin and yang are not balanced, miscellaneous diseases will occur..."
Meng Lang remained silent for a long time and silently turned off his phone.
Dad, you are being naughty.
Meng Lang felt that he would be insulting the author if he clicked on the following items, such as "Qi Men Dun Jia Health Method" and "Yin Yang and Five Elements Harmonization Health Method".
I do not deserve!
The art of health preservation is so extensive and profound...you'd better start slowly from the beginning.
Anyway, apart from the entry-level regimen, I either can’t afford it or I can’t understand it…
Glancing at the rental house where there were no pots and pans, and where firewood, rice, oil and salt were all scarce, Meng Lang let out a long sigh.
Forget it, it's not realistic to cook by yourself in a short time under these conditions, so let's go out and eat a healthier vegetarian meal.
But...you have to hide the treasure first!
Meng Lang took out the book from his arms, but was stunned the next moment.
In just a short period of time, the entire book has changed drastically.
The original black and white cover has now been replaced by pure black, and "Meng Lang's Tragic Life" on the cover has also been replaced by four other large characters - "My Struggle"!
this……
Even though he was somewhat mentally prepared, when this scene actually happened in front of his eyes, Meng Lang still felt that his outlook on life had been subversively shaken.
If this book hadn't been in his arms, Meng Lang would have even suspected that someone had dropped the bag.
Is this the butterfly effect manifesting itself?
However... this pure black cover, paired with the white square fonts in the middle, made Meng Lang inexplicably think of the tombstones standing quietly in the cemetery...
Meng Lang shook his head to get this weird thought out of his mind.
Now that I know the original future, I should have avoided the "initial cause" of investment failure, and the subsequent series of tragedies will naturally not happen again.
Look at the current name of this autobiography - "My Struggle"!
What a positive word? It gives people a feeling of vitality at a glance!
This and a miserable life are completely different attitudes towards life. It can be seen that the future self must have a pretty good and positive life!
The future! A glorious future must be waiting for me!
Meng Lang opened the page of the book excitedly.
[Once, my dream was to be a police uncle, but then half of my dream was achieved and I became an uncle.
Later, my dream was to earn an annual salary of one million, marry a beautiful mentor, and reach the pinnacle of life. Later, when I had just earned an annual salary of 50,000, the beautiful mentor married someone, and the groom was not me.
So I understood that a person should be down-to-earth and set a small goal first, to join the Fortune 500!
…
I succeeded! I joined China Life Insurance and became an insurance salesperson!
…
In the end, I finally understood that you must never be down-to-earth in life. Just like Mr. Tony said, you must make money make money, so that you will not become a slave to money.
I borrowed money from relatives, maxed out my credit cards, increased leverage, and spent all my money shorting China Energy. Then we welcomed the 2018 stock market crash and earned the first pot of gold in my life!
However...it is also the last barrel...
Just when I was proud of my life and ready to make great achievements... Xiaoyu died!
Yes, that cute, heartbreakingly sensible Xiaoyu... is dead!
She was only six years old. She was innocent and just about to enjoy her best years, but she was brutally killed in a rental house!
The body was found in a nearby flowerbed, and it was said that he had suffered inhumane abuse during his lifetime.
When I heard the bad news, I felt sad, angry, and powerless...
Especially when I saw that pale, bloodless face in the news, I felt like I was about to collapse.
Angels are in the world, but so are the devils!
But the real bad news is yet to come...
The day after the body was discovered, the police came to the door.
Because after investigation and evidence collection, all the criminal evidence actually pointed to... me!!
Street surveillance, fingerprints on the door, the murder weapon and bloody clothes next to the body, as well as the hair and dander left by the murderer...
Yes, all the evidence points to me!
No excuses!
…
As the defendant, I was taken to court with no eyewitnesses, no alibi, and no sympathy. Public opinion was overwhelmingly against me.
Facing Xiaoyu's sister's look that was so angry that she wanted to kill someone, I could only smile bitterly.
Facing my parents’ heart-wrenching cries, my heart ached like a knife.
In the end, due to the egregious circumstances, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.
If nothing else, I will spend the rest of my life in prison.
…
I can not be reconciled!
I am not willing to be imprisoned unjustly! I am not willing to let the murderer go free!
So, I studied law in prison, exercised my body, actively cooperated with labor reform to fight for a reduced sentence, and even started quietly polishing spoons.
I just hope that one day I can get out of here in my lifetime, find the real murderer, and bring him to justice!
Revenge for yourself and Xiaoyu!
…
However, facts have proven that movie plots are movie plots after all, and reality is far more cruel than movies.
Ten years later.
Due to the harsh environment and overwork in the prison, I vomited blood and fell into a coma.
The diagnosis was late-stage gastric cancer...
My struggle... is in vain after all...]
Meng Lang remained silent for ten minutes.
Then, he finally couldn't help but uttered a curse word.
