40,000 Years of Cultivation

Sure enough, Zhou Ping took a bite of the dish and didn't eat it. After looking at it for a long time, he put down his chopsticks and said: "Later, it didn’t matter much later. Later, my dad didn’t have any health problems. A motorcycle crashed, and there was no monitoring at that time, and the perpetrator could not be found under the black light. What could I do? I thought I was unlucky and lay in the hospital for three full months. The relatives and friends who could borrow at home borrowed it. At any rate, I saved my life, but it’s impossible to stand up, and I don’t want to do the work on the boat.

"Our family’s conditions were okay, okay, really, at least they don’t have to worry about what to eat or drink, so it won’t work. My dad can’t move, and my mom can’t take care of such a large barge by herself. It was sold, and I returned to my hometown to open a grocery store. Since then, our family has never touched the boat again."

"Oh……"

It was the first time that Li Yao and the three heard Zhou Ping mention his father's body, and the three of them didn't know how to comfort the boss.

"It's okay, it's all over, aren't the days better now?"

Zhou Ping smiled and said, "The first few years were really difficult. Really, it was too **** uncomfortable to have no money. At that time, I was about thirteen or fourteen years old, thinking about not going to school at all, and going out to work to help the family. , As a result, my mother beat me like crazy. She had to go to school, saying that this was the only way out for our family, um, the only way out.

"My mind is actually not smart. You should be able to see that I am really not a ‘schooler’, and I haven’t studied hard since I was a child. I am not interested in anything other than things on board, and I am not a student at all.

"However, every time I read a book and my brain starts to hurt, I will see my mother crying and beating me. Alas, when I think of this, there is no way my brain hurts anymore.

"Later, what else was going on? Later, I was admitted to our school. Although I wasted a few years more than others, my foundation is still solid, and now I have found a job. I just called back and talked to my parents. And my younger brothers and sisters have reported the good news. They have not been so happy for many years. I am happy to see them happy, really, really happy!"

"then you--"

Zhao Kai drank a little and asked, "Don't you want to be the captain of an aircraft carrier?"

"That's the child's cranky thinking, how can it be possible?"

Zhou Ping grinned, "I don't know how to say it. Anyway, since I put my mind on studying, and I haven't touched a boat for many years, the... "feeling" or "spirituality" in me has gradually disappeared. ,Disappeared.

"Gradually, I seldom have messy dreams about spaceships, nor do I think about boring things like Star Wars, star jumps, and so on. Sometimes I pass by the river bank and hear the'burst' from the ship. Unfamiliar, just a few years, as long as decades or hundreds of years, it really seems like a lifetime."

"It's normal."

Yu Xin said, "Everyone used to feel this way--have you grown up! By the way, you didn't want to go to a ship school or something?"

"No."

Zhou Ping shook his head and said, "You will not be allowed to be a captain as soon as you graduate. You have to start from the bottom. Even if the salary for going to sea is higher, it is normal not to go home for a year or a half. , My dad looks like this. My mom is getting older and her body is suffering from various diseases. She refused to push her to the hospital. It would be worse if I was not at home all the time.

"So, the dream of a boyhood, let’s just do it, haha, how can it be returned to the aircraft carrier? Even if my dad is not hit by a motorcycle, I cannot be the captain of the aircraft carrier. It’s just a child’s imagination. You say yes, right? I couldn't have been a captain, right?

"In short, now this job is located in our provincial capital, and the treatment is okay. I often have the opportunity to go home. If I work hard, I might be able to buy a suite in the provincial capital and bring my parents over— —This is my biggest dream now."

"Not bad!"

Li Yao, Yu Xin, and Zhao Kai gave Zhou Ping a thumbs up together, "Ambition boss, buying a house in the provincial capital is a hundred times more difficult than being the captain of an aircraft carrier or even a spacecraft. It really is an investment tycoon, a financial tycoon!"

All four laughed at once.

"The boss is all here, let me also talk about my childhood dream!"

Zhao Kai hiccuped and said, "The lifelike dream that the boss said, in fact, I have also had it. Really, it’s not nonsense on the wine table, but I forgot the specific cartoon that was hooked up, or it may not be a cartoon. Is it something else.

"In short, when I was a child, I had a lot of weird and colorful dreams. In the dreams, I seemed to be a... Explorers don’t know the role of special forces. I don’t even look like a human, but have four arms. There is also a tail, and then I ran in all kinds of extremely harsh and dangerous environments, such as jungles, cliffs, volcanic lava, etc., running desperately, and there were many vicious alien monsters chasing me behind. Coming.

"I wondered, if people really have a previous life, then I was probably a fortified super special soldier in my previous life, going out to adventure, reconnaissance, and fighting all day long. Haha, isn't it exciting?

"Then, affected by these weird dreams, I have been very active since I was a child, and I couldn't sit down for a second. My parents and teachers said that I had needles on my buttocks.

"I like to go to physical education class, or go out and run wild on the street after school, go climbing trees, climbing stairs, etc., once, even my parents didn’t know about it. The big tree fell down, it was a dozen meters tall, at least three or four stories high. Guess what, I seemed to have awakened some power in mid-air. I suddenly saw all the bones and muscles in my body, like a cat. I adjusted my posture in mid-air, and landed gently and skillfully. There was nothing except my feet, really nothing!"

The three of Li Yao exclaimed.

However, speaking of Zhao Kai's physical fitness is really good, people who usually stay in the dormitory to read novels, have excellent sports performance, and have long hands and feet, but the torso is not clumsy at all, just like a big spider.

"Oh, if I was born ten or twenty years later, I should know that I should be a parkour or rock climber, or an explorer or something in my life."

Zhao Kai sighed, "At that time, we didn't know these professions, only gymnasts."

"It's not bad to be a gymnast."

Yu Xindao, "Your athletic talent is so great, didn't you try it?"

"But a gymnastics coach came to our elementary school to pick up the seedlings, and he also fell in love with me."

Zhao Kai said, "Do you think my parents can agree? The gymnastics is such a delicious bowl of rice. Of course, it is beautiful to win the championship. It is not possible to win the championship. If you are injured, you can't make it to practice. What should I do in the future? So? , Let’s study honestly. Later, there are more and more books to be studied. The physical education class in our school has changed beyond words. After school, there is no time to climb trees and run wildly all over the streets, just like the boss said. , There are fewer and fewer strange dreams of adventures on alien planets, so the'spirituality' is naturally gone!"

"Yes, playing sports is not easy."

Yu Xin thought for a while, "Then do you like gymnastics, rock climbing, or parkour?"

Zhao Kai raised his head, poured down half a bottle of beer, rubbed his eyes with wet wipes for a long time, and said, "Is it important?"

"Yes, hahahaha, although my childhood dreams are interesting, people always have to grow up and face reality!"

Yu Xin smiled, "I also had dreams when I was a child. I often dreamed of many colorful paintings. Some paintings are even the size of a whole planet. I thought I had an artistic cell. I was a world-renowned person in my previous life. Artists of the world, my paintings even possess all kinds of...'ability', oh, how do you feel ashamed to say it!

"In short, I didn't know until I grew up. When I was young, every child thought he was a unique existence, and thought that he came to this world always shouldering a special mission. They have had countless messes and colorful colors. Until I grew up, I realized that I was nothing special at all. What I did was daydreams that were impossible to achieve. At this time, I really matured!"

"Yeah, everyone is the same, all the same."

Zhao Kai murmured, "Hey, didn't we start to talk about Li Yao's reading of novels? How did we talk about "dreams" and "growth"? Anyway, you know what we mean. , Li Yao, everyone has experienced your state, but you must get rid of it. You must not indulge in these nonsense online novels!"

"Yes, Li Yao, everyone cares about you."

Zhou Ping said sincerely, "If you have anything to do, tell my brothers. We will accompany you to see where it’s uncomfortable. Don’t always be bored alone in the world of novels. Novels are fake and made up. The meaningless things, the real life in front of you is real, right?"

"Correct."

Li Yao nodded vigorously, and felt so, "I understand what my brothers mean. I was a little wrong in the past period of time, but today I have a drink and a chat. I think I'm all right. Really, I know something good or bad. Thank you. Everyone's enlightenment, I really can't send this kind of daydreaming anymore."

"They are all my own brothers, don't say whether these nasty words are good or not, they are not as serious as you said!"

Yu Xin smiled, "That said, it's true these years, why everyone's dreams when they were young are very colorful, and a hundred flowers bloom. When they grow up, they will become captains, artists, athletes, and scientists. Now, when they really grow up, everyone in the **** only has one dream left-making money!"

"Yeah, it's boring."

Zhao Kai said, "Otherwise, you can help me realize my dream, and I will make money. Will you be a gymnast, okay?"

"fart."

Yu Xin said, "Why didn't I make money? You helped me realize my dream of becoming an artist, and by the way, you also became the captain of the boss of the aircraft carrier?"

"So, it's better to make money first, make the most money, and long live to make money!"

Zhao Kai was completely drunk and leaned back in his chair and danced, "What **** dreams, go fuck!"

All four people in the 610 dorm were drunk that night.

Anyway, just like all college students who ate loose meals, they hugged each other and said a lot, cried many times and laughed many times. Mentioned money, dreams and women, career, ambition and love, making countless unrealistic promises. He made countless rhetoric that I would forget tomorrow morning.

Finally, the four of them supported each other and stumbled out.

Li Yao was slightly awakened by the breeze at the door of the fly house, and one or two colorful bubbles appeared in the depths of his mind.

"Boss, you go first."

Li Yao said to Zhou Ping, who was still a little sober, "I want to blow the hair and sober up."

Zhou Ping actually had no sense of talking, waved at him, and left with Yu Xin and Zhao Kai.

"Boss!"

Li Yao suddenly called out, "Where is your workbook?"

Zhou Ping stopped.

"What workbook?"

He looked back suspiciously.

"That's what you said, the homework book filled with space battleships, the homework book from when you were a kid."

Li Yao didn't know why he suddenly asked such a sentence.

"do not know."

Zhou Ping looked indifferent, straightened his eyes and thought for a long time before he remembered what Li Yao asked, "Probably it fell into the water when I sold the barge, or I burned it myself. For so long, who knows!"

"Then do you remember how to draw a spaceship?"

Li Yao said, "It's the spaceship that appeared in your dreams."

"I haven't had that kind of dream for a long time."

Zhou Ping thought for a long time, but couldn't remember the last time he had that kind of dream, so he could only say, "It's been a long, long time."

He waved his hand vigorously, not knowing whether he was driving Li Yao away or driving something that had emerged from the depths of his soul, and walked into the black and white light and shadow illuminated by the street lamp.
