Accompanied by billowing black smoke, a modified agricultural tricycle creaked up the mountainside and stopped at the door of a mountain hut.
After a while, a young man walked out of the hut. He looked to be in his twenties, with a smile on his face, but upon closer inspection, he looked a bit sinister.
This kind of fierceness does not mean that he has bad looks. On the contrary, this person looks a bit handsome. It's just between his eyebrows that he feels a bit sharp, and he has a sense of déjà vu as if he saw a villain actor on TV.
"Wang Xu, are you really planning to stay in your hometown and deal with these acres of fruit trees instead of imitating others and go to the city to develop?" When he saw the young man coming out and driving a three-wheeler, he took the initiative to walk over.
Said hello.
Wang Xu handed over two cigarettes and waited until they both lit them. Then he took two deep puffs, exhaled a cloud of mist, shook his head and said: "Brother Zhou, I haven't even graduated from high school. When I go to the city, I just serve dishes, sweep the floor, and listen."
It's better to stay in your hometown and guard a few acres of orchards than to be in charge of people's lives."
"In the past few years, I haven't heard of anyone making a fortune from orchards. Orchards are hard to do now!" Brother Zhou said bluntly, but the look on his face was very focused. He was not sarcastic.
Wang Xu also knows this. Brother Zhou is called Zhou Qiang. He doesn't have much ability, but he is very popular in Shiliba Village.
The younger ones call him Brother Zhou, and the older ones call him Qiangzi. This man is recognized as a good person. He usually sells vegetables in the city and often helps the villagers carry things. He is a warm-hearted person.
Wang Xu planned to get a security door this time and put it in the small house in the orchard on the mountain. When Zhou Qiang heard about it, he volunteered to help. Not only did he save more than a hundred shipping costs, he didn't even have to eat. This favor was Wang Xu's favor.
Remember.
"Brother Zhou, I don't have much ability. I'm just content with what I have to eat. I can't think of places that are too far away, and I don't dare to think about them!" Wang Xu said with a smile, his tone filled with self-deprecation.
Zhou Qiang sighed, said nothing more, patted Wang Xu on the shoulder, said "good job" and left.
Wang Xu watched him all the way until Zhou Qiang was no longer in sight driving his tricycle, and then he looked a little depressed and said to himself: "I also want to get ahead, and I also want to be famous, but I don't have any academic qualifications.
I have no ability, I just look a bit fierce, do you want me to make a movie?"
The idea of making a movie is even more unreliable. It is much harder than making a fortune as a fruit farmer. There is no shortage of special effects actors in Hengdian. What is lacking is whether they have connections.
Wang Xu's ancestors have been poor farmers for eight generations. Not to mention bribing the director, he can't even afford the money to go to Hengdian at his own expense.
Shaking his head, Wang Xu picked up the security door on the ground and walked towards the house without looking back. When he entered the door, he glanced at the sky and whispered: "It seems like it's going to rain..."
...click...
The weather in August is like a child's face, it changes at a moment's notice.
The wind was strong and the rainstorm was coming, and the whole transformation only took half an hour.
Wang Xu's hut on the mountain was left by a previous fruit farmer in Baoshan. The windows had been broken by naughty children and the door was missing.
When the wind and rain came, big raindrops took advantage of the wind and rushed into the house.
Wang Xu looked at the new anti-theft door he bought. Hey, there is no need to wait for someone to install it. If he doesn't install it today, he can probably take a shower at night.
Boom!!
Against the thunder, Wang Xu took the tool and started working, complaining softly while working.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, the thunder came one after another, and the lightning and thunder were really beautiful.
Just when Wang Xu was muttering about whether he would be killed by thunder if he installed a security door on the mountain during a thunderstorm, a blue lightning flash came instantly.
boom!
The blue lightning was as thick as a bucket. The moment it hit the security door, Wang Xu was ejected.
I sat down on the ground, no pain, no itching, nothing seemed wrong.
Just when Wang Xu was about to rejoice, he looked up and saw streaks of blue lightning flashing around on his security door, as if he would transform into an immortal at any time.
"Isn't it? My security door has become a fairy?" Looking at the glory on the security door, Wang Xu rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Under his widened eyes, the door lock on the security door automatically opened, and the space behind the door rippled like water waves, showing a unique scene from the Anti-Japanese War period that could only be seen in old photos.
"what happens?"
Wang Xu was stunned to see two worlds separated by a door.
Behind the door, it was obviously that special period, and slogans supporting the Anti-Japanese War were posted everywhere.
On the street, many students wearing old-fashioned clothes were waving small flags and shouting, "Down with Japanese militarism."
Moreover, with sharp eyes, he noticed that several people who looked like reporters were following the crowd to take photos, speaking authentic Tianjin dialect.
What made Wang Xu fanciful was that he clearly saw these people, but these people couldn't see him.
After a while, the protesting student team left, and calm returned to the street. From the beginning to the end, no one glanced at him, as if he didn't exist at all.
"What is this, a space-time tunnel?" As a good young man in the 21st century, Wang Xu himself believes in science.
However, the security door of his home was struck by lightning, and something as unscientific as a space-time tunnel was created, which made his belief in science somewhat shaken.
Should you go over and take a look? This was Wang Xu's first thought.
Men, who doesn’t have the illusion of carrying a gun to defend the motherland and eliminate the Japanese invaders?
It's just that this idea came and went quickly. In the final analysis, Wang Xu is just an ordinary person. He has some unrealistic fantasies, but he pays more attention to his own safety.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Xu picked up a branch and poked at the open security door.
With a gentle click, the security door closed with a sound, and the other world disappeared without a trace.
At this time, the sky was still thundering and raining, and the wind was howling, as if everything before was just a dream.
Wang Xu swallowed, looked at the security door in front of him, half escaping, half comforting himself and said to himself: "An illusion, it must be an illusion!"
At night, Wang Xu, lying in bed, couldn't sleep. His mind was filled with students marching and slogans supporting the Anti-Japanese War.
He kept tossing until late at night, when the thunderstorm had dissipated, but he still couldn't sleep.
There was always an inaudible voice tempting him, telling him that he should look over there, otherwise he would regret it.
After tossing and turning over and over again, the thought of checking it out finally gained the upper hand.
Wang Xu got up from the bed, drank a few gulps of cold water, and walked to the security door that no longer glowed.
Reach out, hold the door bolt, and twist it hard.
...click...
The door was opened easily, and a scene from another time and space appeared in front of Wang Xu again.
It's still the same street, still the same slogans, it's just that the time has changed.
Although Wang Xu didn't pay attention when he opened the door last time, he recalled that it seemed like it was noon.
And now, the sun is setting in the west. Although it is not night yet, there is no longer the scorching sun at noon.
"If I go there like this, I won't be able to come back, right?" I was determined to go in and take a look, but when things came to a close, I still had concerns.
Moreover, going so rashly without any preparation always makes people feel a little uneasy.
Wang Xusi thought about it and felt that he still needed to prepare. Maybe he should use chickens and ducks to explore the way first. If this space-time tunnel was in danger, he would have no tears to cry.
