Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

The so-called Sijiang Road and Pingjiang Road are two parallel roads, both located on the edge of Qinghe County. new˙ɔoɯ

There are no residential areas around here, but it is an area that vehicles must pass through when entering and exiting Qinghe County, so it is reasonable to open an auto repair shop here.

At night, this area becomes particularly depressed. There are no pedestrians on the street, only trucks of various sizes whizzing past. It is completely different from the lively commercial street a few kilometers away.

"Xiao Zhou, haven't you arrived yet? Uncle is thirsty! Buy him a bottle of wine!"

Lu Dequan has been repeating this sentence since ten minutes ago.

It can be said that it is persevering, just like a repeater.

And it seemed that the time since the last time he drank was getting longer and longer. Instead of gradually sobering up, Lu Dequan's mental state became worse and worse.

Alcoholism is not only a bad habit, but also a serious disease.

It is not "like drinking" as ordinary people imagine. In severe cases, it is a serious disease.

They will not become more and more sober because they stop drinking, but will develop a withdrawal reaction similar to "drug addiction" as they stop drinking.

The pain is excruciating and destroys the sanity, but only drinking can relieve it slightly.

But if you don't overcome the withdrawal reaction and continue to indulge, the "addiction" will get bigger and bigger until the person is completely disabled.

Alcohol's long-term effects on the brain will cause alcoholics to suffer severe damage to their cognition, behavior, body, and social functions, and they will knowingly commit the crime and be unable to restrain themselves.

It is not uncommon for wives and children to be separated and families to be destroyed. new

In a narrow sense, it can be understood as a "madman".

In his previous life, Zhou Rui knew that Lu Xubo's father was drunk every day, but he didn't know the extent of Lu Dequan's alcoholism, and he himself had never been in contact with other alcoholics.

At this time, Lu Dequan seemed to have had a withdrawal reaction, his eyes were red and tears were streaming down his face.

Apparently, his symptoms were of an extremely severe nature.

Just when the two were about to arrive at Pingjiang Road, Zhou Rui was keenly aware of something unusual about Lu Dequan.

Zhou Rui thought that Lu Dequan would become more and more sober, but unexpectedly it had the opposite effect.

In the dark bridge cave.

"Xiao Zhou! Buy a bottle of wine for uncle! Please! You must have pocket money! I will ask Lu Xubo to return it to you later! I will ask him to work for you!"

Zhou Rui silently distanced himself from Lu Dequan.

"I have money! I just didn't bring it out! My family has money! You help uncle buy a bottle of wine first! What's wrong? You don't want to? Do you still have an elder like uncle in your eyes!! Ah!!!"

Lu Dequan became more and more excited and reached out to grab Zhou Rui, but he was easily dodged and rolled on the ground.

Lu Dequan did not get up immediately. Instead, he ran to the garbage pile in the corner of the bridge hole and rummaged around like a vicious dog. After a while, he actually found a turbid wine bottle. He ignored the dirt and unscrewed it. Just put it in your mouth.

However, no matter how much I shook it, not a drop fell into my mouth. The empty bottle had been thrown away for who knows how long.

"Crack!"

Lu Dequan smashed the bottom of the bottle. new

"Tell me, are you Lu Xubo's friend? Why don't you buy me a bottle of wine? Xiao Zhou, tell me!"

This man, whose brain had been destroyed by alcohol, was holding a half-broken wine bottle and pointing at Zhou Rui with fierce eyes.

Zhou Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

The sound of wind echoing inside the bridge tunnel can cover up all movement.

___________________

Just a few hundred meters away, there was an auto repair shop on the roadside.

The three door heads are connected together and transformed into a "garage".

All kinds of oily tools and equipment were thrown messily on the ground.

A dozen or so socially-dressed adults, shirtless, almost all with tattoos, were drinking around two white plastic tables.

"Brother Tai! The silly and realistic look during the day is easy to deceive! Adding a plastic tail will cost you more than 10,000 yuan!"

A gangster with an unconventional hairstyle toasted a glass of wine to "Brother Tai" who was sitting in the middle and wearing a gold chain.

Brother Tai laughed and said: "Those are the second generation of rich people. They are stupid and have too much money. If you tell them later who in the county changed their exhaust pipes, he will have to come back and pay. These guys like to compare!"

Many gangsters shouted: "Yes, yes, follow Brother Tai and make a lot of money!"

Brother Tai took a nice sip, feeling quite pleased with himself.

This is his auto repair shop. He also repairs and washes cars on weekdays, but the real focus is car modification.

Although this job is illegal, the money comes quickly.

Adding a rear wing, changing the headlights, changing the suspension, even changing the wheels, changing the exhaust, there are too many ways to do it, and few people really understand it.

To completely renovate a car would cost hundreds of thousands, and even more would need to be spent on modifications.

Although Qinghe County is only a small place, no matter how small it is, there are still wealthy people, and they live a prosperous life.

Brother Tai's group of people all have a mixed background.

Now that he is able to quit and start a business that makes money for himself, he is really not on the same level as the "gangsters" who trouble students at the school gate. For example, "Brother Hao" who used to block Zhou Rui after school, there may be no tables at all when he comes here. Can't get on.

"Brother Tai! Let me give you a toast!"

"Brother Tai! I'll accompany you!"

Among the lively people, there was a figure sitting at the end of the table, wearing ordinary sportswear, and he was out of tune with the people with colorful hair and shouting around.

He lowered his head and ate, wolfing down the food, as if he was starving.

"Who is that?! Lu Xubo! Why don't you come over and give Brother Tai a toast!"

A yellow haired man shouted loudly.

The noise at the dinner table suddenly fell silent, and everyone turned to look at Lu Xubo.

Lu Xubo stopped his chopsticks, moved his mouth, and said, "Brother Tai, congratulations on getting rich!"

Huang Mao had no intention of letting him go: "Where's the wine! Just with two mouths! Do you think you are a school girl!"

The people around burst into laughter.

Lu Xubo: "I don't drink. I told Brother Tai before I came here."

He had hated alcohol since he was a child and had long since sworn that he would never drink.

Brother Tai waved his hand and said, "Don't embarrass Xiao Lu. Once you join the company, we are all part of the same family. Xiao Lu has gone to school a few more years than you. When the time comes, he will come over to help you after graduation. You should communicate more."

There are a lot of people sitting here who have dropped out of school, and Lu Xubo is actually the only one with a high school diploma.

But precisely because of this, some people have always been unhappy with Lu Xubo.

A fat man with purple hair stepped on the beer box and sneered: "I'm just a fool in high school. If you have the guts to go to college, it's not like you can't go on to study. Why are you pretending to be a top student here!"

Seeing that Lu Xubo had no reaction, Brother Tai was the first to lose his composure. Lu Xubo was a young man he was more optimistic about, and he had more prospects than these "bad guys on the road".

He is not young anymore, so he just wants to do business safely in the future and does not want to "hang around" anymore.

Brother Tai slapped the table and said, "I said we are all a family, but you are taking my words as shit! You will punish yourself with a bottle!"

Zi Mao felt unhappy, but when Brother Tai spoke, he blew a bottle of wine honestly, threw the bottle away, and stared at Lu Xubo with drunken eyes.

Lu Xubo met that gaze, feeling bored for no reason.

He hated being stared at with this kind of drunken look.

At this moment, an inappropriate voice came from the side.

"Lu Xubo?!"

Everyone looked back and saw a clean and fresh high school student standing outside the store, carrying a schoolbag.

A dozen tattooed villains looked at him at the same time, but the man was not frightened and said with a smile:

"Something happened at home. You have to go back first."
