Lu Sheng lives in Hekou Street, Beicheng, Guobei County, and is a sixteen-year-old boy.
In his memory, he had already forgotten the appearance of his parents.
From the moment he can remember, he has been raised by his sister, who is eight years older than him. She is called a sister, but in Lu Sheng's heart, she is just like his mother.
It's a pity that Lu Sheng is not a capable person.
Because I have been hungry since I was a child, I have a short stature and look very thin.
When he went out to work, his boss thought he was weak and would only give half of his wages to others.
Lu Sheng had no choice but to join the Pole Gang in the north of the city.
This is a gangster organization that extorts money and collects protection fees in the north of the city.
Why is it called this name?
Because the weapons were too expensive, the pole gang couldn't afford them, so they could only use wooden poles as weapons.
Everyone calls it "Gangzi Gang" or "Gangzi Gang". As time goes by, no one knows what it was originally called.
Where is Lu Sheng?
He's a member of the Gangzi Gang.
He's the kind of guy who follows the gangsters and bullies, waving flags and shouting.
But in Lu Sheng's view, being promiscuous is also a kind of life.
He needs money and wants to save up the bride price and find a good family for his sister.
It's easy to get started in the Gangzi Gang, and you can occasionally get some success. Plus, you can use the power of others to prevent yourself and your sister from being bullied, and there's no harm in letting the neighbors scold you.
And Sister Qin.
He was the only one who didn't scold him.
Sister Qin is a very nice person, but she has a bad reputation.
She is a beautiful, 278-year-old, childless widow who has been a widow for five or six years.
In addition, I live with my father-in-law and there are a lot of people gossiping about me.
But Lu Sheng didn't believe those words.
Because those people also talked about him behind his back all day long, and also arranged for his sister, so in his opinion, none of these neighbors were good people.
"Shengzi is here."
The headquarters of the Gangzi Gang is behind Yaowang Temple in the north of the city.
The yard is big but very dirty.
When Lu Sheng came in, several bosses were playing cards together, with many people watching on both sides.
Not far away, there is a pot propped up.
The pickle soup was boiling in the pot, and steamed buns were placed in the wooden basin beside it.
"How are you lucky, Brother Ba?"
Lu Sheng asked as he found his wooden bowl.
I got some water, washed it, took a steamed bun, and filled it with a bowl of vegetable soup.
"I'm so lucky, I won dozens of big guys from a few bosses."
For these low-level minions, dozens of big guys are not a small number.
Even if they work hard for a month, they may not be able to earn dozens of big bucks. After all, one big buck can buy a pound of mixed noodles.
"Brother Ba."
Lu Sheng shrunk his neck and came to Brother Ba's side to say hello with a playful smile.
Hearing his younger brother's call, Brother Ba did not raise his head, but asked: "How are you doing asking about the things I asked you to inquire about?"
"Let me ask clearly, Lao Sun's bookstore has been sold out."
"The person who took over the business was a young man named Zhang. He seemed to be very generous. He sold the shops and yards that day. After finishing the shopping, Sun rented a donkey cart and left in a hurry."
"But the time was too short and I didn't find out much about it. I don't know where this guy came from."
Lu Sheng said as he moved forward: "Brother Ba, that guy looks quite impressive. We need to get a good feel for his details."
"Nonsense, do you still need to talk about it?"
Brother Ba lives up to his name.
He is tall, powerful and has black and thick eyebrows.
"You will take your two brothers with you later, go to the door and check it out, and tell them the rules here."
"If he doesn't understand the rules, don't rush to take action. Just observe him for a while."
"If he knows the rules, accept the money and hang around him for a while to see what his background is. Is he an ignorant fat sheep or a young master with a heel?"
Brother Ba waved his hand and signaled Lu Sheng to go quickly.
Lu Sheng, however, was not in a hurry to leave. He laughed playfully, touched his belly, and said with a flattering look on his face: "Brother Ba, I just ate steamed buns this morning. I don't have any strength in my feet and I'm swaying when I walk. If I go out, I won't be a disgrace to you."
His face?"
"Hey!"
Brother Ba raised his head slightly, smiled and scolded: "You little brat, you're taking credit from me before you even do your work?"
He also won money and was in a good mood. Brother Ba picked up two coins and threw them back: "Get out of here."
"Thank you, Brother Ba."
Lu Sheng has no face.
How much is face worth? Can you exchange it for two kilograms of mixed noodles for the elder sister at home?
If you are not a householder, you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are.
My elder sister helped people wash clothes every day, but she was hungry and full every day, and she didn't know the smell of meat for half a month.
He didn't even have a copper hairpin on his body, and only used a wooden stick to tie his hair. Lu Sheng had long thought of saving more than ten yuan and going to Dali Sheng to buy a copper hairpin.
He has already gone to see it.
There is a copper hairpin of good style, which only costs sixteen big pieces.
He saved thirteen, plus the two that Brother Ba gave him, and after haggling over the price, he was able to buy the copper hairpin as a surprise for his elder sister.
"It is said to be a dream, but the reality of this dream is different from reality."
"For the residents of Guobei County who were brought into my dream, this is reality, and life is the same as before."
Inside the bookstore.
Zhang Heng was sitting on the recliner, with the entire county reflected in his eyes.
In the dream world, he is God.
One thought creates the world, one thought creates all living beings. Even the rules are affected by him. As long as he thinks, fire can burn in the water, and the wind can roar in the sea.
"Freeze time and start the twenty-second day of eternal reincarnation. Everything is as usual."
"Without external interference, just like a well-written novel, whether you read it once, a hundred times, a thousand times, or ten thousand times, the content will not change."
Yes.
This is not reality, but Zhang Heng’s dream world.
The people here have been under his influence for twenty-two days.
At five o'clock every morning, the world restarts.
Taking his neighbor Widow Qin as an example, today was the twenty-second time he saw Widow Qin standing at the door, greeting Lu Sheng with the same tone and expression.
He even knew that Lu Sheng would come looking for him soon.
If he didn't open the door, Lu Sheng would knock on the door for a while, then go to Dali Sheng to buy a copper hairpin and give it to his sister.
If he opens the door, Lu Sheng will come in to trick him and give him hints about the rules of the street.
Here, Zhang Heng has different choices.
Give Lu Sheng thirty coins.
He would pat his chest and promise that no one would come to the bookstore to cause trouble in the future.
Give him fifty cents.
He would look ecstatic and say that he would cover the bookstore from now on.
Give him one hundred pence.
Well...
After Lu Sheng goes out, he will call him a fool.
As for not giving money.
If he doesn't pay a penny, he will go back and explain the situation to Brother Ba, and then go to Dali Sheng in the afternoon to buy copper hairpins.
If he doesn't pay, he'll be beaten.
He would go to Brother Ba to complain and make trouble, and then he would still buy copper hairpins.
Hit it harder and have someone carry it back.
He would have someone call his sister, tell her where he hid the money, and say: "Sister, I'm sorry for you. I hid more than a dozen big bucks in the swallow's nest on the eaves. If I didn't make it through,
You have to take good care of yourself.'
Lu Yun would take out the money and go to the Yaowang Temple for help.
The people from the Yaowang Temple looked down upon the money and pretended to sell her a pack of herbs to replenish qi and blood. Then in the evening, a young apprentice from the Yaowang Temple would come to Lu Yun and tell her that he could cure Lu Sheng.
, the price is that Lu Yun has to sleep with him.
In twenty-two reincarnations.
If Zhang Heng didn't interfere, everyone would do their own thing like a set program.
If he interferes, different chain reactions will occur depending on the degree of interference.
It’s not just Lu Sheng.
So does everyone else.
Widow Qin would be bullied by her drunken father-in-law in the afternoon, and Cui Laoliu, who was making sesame seed cakes, would quarrel with his wife.
Ruan Xiaowu, who works at a grocery store, takes his son to stock up on groceries, but gets lost with him.
Mrs. Wang from the tea shed will come to Lu Yun to protect her matchmaking.
As long as he wants.
He could kick open the door and save Widow Qin.
Buy thirty sesame cakes to make Cui Laoliu, who is not selling well, smile and stop quarreling with his wife.
Call Ruan Xiaowu and tell him that his son is lagging behind.
Or.
Stop Mrs. Wang, give her some money, and ask her to change the matchmaker to someone else.
As long as you give enough.
The old man who is about to die of illness can be said by Mrs. Wang to be less than 30 years old.
A stupid idiot, but also a young and promising hero. Really, they are a mess.
"In a small Guobei County, with a population of more than 100,000, more than 10,000 incidents occur every day."
"These events, big or small, can all be subject to external interference."
"Every intervention will have different effects. This is the god in the dream, and it is true."
Zhang Heng simply played it and found that it was more real and more fun than any other game.
Even, he can replace anyone according to his wishes.
In place of the county magistrate, he can go to court to resolve cases and accept bribes.
Instead of a police officer, he can arrest suspects and fight against bandits.
In place of Brother Ba, he can eat without paying and run around everyone commanded by Lu Sheng.
The father-in-law who replaced Widow Qin...
All in all, it’s such a joy here, no wonder some people fall into ruin.
"Can't play anymore."
Repeat the thirty-third day.
Zhang Heng stopped and did not dare to try the law again.
Because this feeling of being able to do whatever you want is easily addictive.
He couldn't help but think of Taoist Han.
The ancient city of Kaifeng built by Taoist Han has a population of millions and is the capital of Dasong.
There must be more things he can play with.
Play the Emperor.
Let alone the emperor, you can play the eunuch.
What's more, if you don't play a man or a woman, there's no problem if you play an animal.
See the world from the perspective of a cat or a dog.
"Freezing time and reincarnating forever in one day is not a complete dream world after all."
"The real dream world should be able to break away from reality and operate on its own, no longer limited to one day."
"Only in this way can it be called a boundary, otherwise it will be like a child playing house."
Zhang Heng thought about how to make the dream world more perfect.
Think before and after.
It is too difficult to directly change the world. Maybe you can start with one or two people and see how it works.
Just do it if you want to do it.
"Good morning, Lu Sheng."
"Morning, Sister Qin..."
Hearing the familiar title, Lu Sheng didn't pay attention.
"I heard that there is a coolie at the mouth of the river who died of exhaustion."
"Coolie, this work is not done by humans."
Huh?
Hearing the conversation between passers-by, Lu Sheng was surprised and wondered: "Yesterday a coolie died of exhaustion, and today another one is exhausted?"
We passed by each other and listened to a few words.
Lu Sheng lamented the hard work of the coolies, but still didn't think much about it, and walked all the way to the pole gang.
"Shengzi is here?"
As soon as he entered the door, someone chatted with Lu Sheng and said, "I made pickle soup and steamed buns today. Go get them quickly. They will be gone if you are late."
"Well..."
Lu Sheng scratched his head and glanced at Ergou who was talking to him: "We have steamed buns to eat again today. On weekdays, don't we eat steamed buns only once every three to five days? We usually only have one bowl of soup in the morning?"
"Why are we eating steamed buns again? You are stupid. The last time we ate steamed buns was four days ago."
Ergou urged Lu Sheng: "Go quickly, Brother Ba is the banker today and won a lot of money. He won't say anything if he takes one more."
"Brother Ba won money again?"
Lu Sheng muttered a little.
Brother Ba is a loser and a big addict. He usually loses more than he wins when playing cards. I don't see him winning more than once in a month.
What happened to my luck in the past two days, and then I won money three times in a row, and my luck changed.
"Brother Ba."
Lu Sheng took two steamed buns and put them in front of Brother Ba.
"How are you doing with the things I asked you to inquire about?"
Brother Ba said without looking back.
"What?"
Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment.
Ask about something, ask about something.
"Did you fall asleep?"
Brother Ba frowned slightly: "You didn't tell me yesterday that a fat sheep came next door to your house and took over Lao Sun's bookstore. I asked you to go and inquire about it."
"ah?"
Lu Sheng was confused.
Didn't I say this yesterday?
"Ah, what, did you turn a deaf ear to what I said?"
Brother Ba only felt that his dignity had been challenged.
As soon as the trump card was thrown away, Lu Sheng stood up and slapped him twice, making Lu Sheng's eyes flash with stars.
"Go quickly!"
I heard the sound of drinking in my ears.
Lu Sheng's head felt dizzy, so he picked up the bun and hurried out.
When he got outside the door, Lu Sheng felt extremely aggrieved. What had happened?
have to.
Maybe Brother Ba is in a bad mood and is making fun of himself.
In a daze, the day passed.
the next day.
"Good morning, Lu Sheng!"
After he walked out the door, Sister Qin next door was splashing face wash again and saying hello to him as always.
"Good morning, Sister Qin."
Lu Sheng responded.
I thought to myself: "Sister Qin is really interested in me. Otherwise, why would she meet me three days in a row? It's just a coincidence. Isn't it too much of a coincidence?"
Then I thought again: "It would actually be great if I could marry Sister Qin. Sister Qin has a good relationship with my sister. I will definitely not bully her if I marry her."
Then he thought: "Bah, bah, bah, what am I thinking? My sister doesn't even have a husband. She is already quite old. I have to make money as soon as possible to buy betrothal gifts. If it's too late, it will be difficult for me to have a wife."
What a great husband."
While thinking about it, Lu Sheng walked towards the pole.
As I was walking, I heard two people walking towards me, muttering: "I heard that there is a coolie at the mouth of the river who is dead from exhaustion."
"Coolie, this work is not done by humans."
Passed by.
Lu Sheng stood there and looked back at the two of them. He felt that they looked very familiar, and these words made them even more familiar.
"What's going on?"
Lu Sheng was a little confused: "I always feel like something is wrong!"
"Shengzi is here."
Entering the door, I saw two dogs again.
Before Ergou could speak, Lu Sheng said first, "Are you going to eat steamed buns and pickle soup today?"
"How do you know?"
Ergou was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Sheng's nose and said happily: "Your nose is really good, can you smell the fragrance?"
Lu Sheng didn't answer this.
Instead, he frowned and looked into the inner courtyard: "Brother Ba won money."
Ergou was a little dumbfounded: "You are really amazing. Did you climb up the wall and take a peek just now?"
Lu Sheng said nothing and walked inside with his head down.
When I got to the inner courtyard, I took a look.
As expected, Brother Ba was gambling. There were a lot of big guys in front of him, and he won quite a lot.
"How are you doing with the things I asked you to inquire about?"
Brother Ba asked without looking back.
Lu Sheng looked at Brother Ba and then at the people around him.
Listening to familiar words and looking at familiar people.
He screamed strangely and ran away.
"What's going on?"
Everyone looked confused and muttered: "What's wrong with this hair-picking, are you crazy?"
