Zhihu Novel: Please go back to 2008

Section 1 Help, I'm stuck on the same day!

In the summer of 2008, Aunt Wang stood outside the hotel as a lookout.

In the guest room, I sent a text message to my dad: "Fat Sheep, go take a shower."

My dad put away his cell phone and walked in with a steel pipe on his waist. Got to the hotel.

Our "Guanyin Jump" is about to close the net.

The so-called "Guanyin Jump", if you replace "Guanyin" with "immortal", you will understand. This is our lingo.

By the way, I am the "Female Guanyin"

2

My name is Yu Xiaoxiao. I just entered college this summer. In fact, I didn’t expect that I would have to go back to my old career.

My family really has no money.

If you want to raise money for college tuition, "Guanyin Dance" is the fastest way to make money.

3

We will embark on this old road, starting from this morning.

At the beginning of summer, my family had a loan sharking of 150,000 yuan, which we could not repay at all. My dad ran away to avoid debts. But unexpectedly, this morning, I was blocked back home by debt collectors.

I woke up in a daze and came to the living room. I saw two gangsters and slapped my dad:

"Run? Run again?!"

p>

The yellow-haired gangster glanced back and saw that the house was filled with simple furniture. And I, a little girl, took a few steps back uneasily.

I know it’s over. Today, they won’t leave until they peel off the skin from my house.

"Xiao Xiao..."

My dad called me softly and looked at each other. The moment our eyes met, we reached a subtle agreement* **knowledge.

How to get rid of the knowledge of these two gangsters.

"I called the police." I said.

"If you don't pay back the money you owe, is it useful to call the police? I'll make noise to you again!"

"How much does he owe you?!"

"It's your business, adults." "Don't worry, go back!" My dad yelled at me.

"How much exactly?"

"Can't you hear me asking you to go back?!"

"Tell me, how much do you want me to pay you back?!" "Actually, I already know the numbers, so it's not difficult to pretend to be angry.

The two debtors watched our quarrel with interest.

"You won't tell me, right? You tell me!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand." Huang Mao said.

"One hundred and fifty thousand..." I murmured: "You don't have 150,000 even if you sell me..."

I was silent for a while, then turned around and went in kitchen. When he came out again, he had a kitchen knife in his hand.

"What are you doing?" Everyone became nervous.

"If the person is gone, you don't have to pay back the money, right?"

"Calm down... I'll stop her!"

"Ah, I Fuck! She bit me—"

I rushed forward to chop my dad. He was held down by two gangsters desperately. In the end, I only had time to fly out the kitchen knife, but my dad screamed and dodged, and the kitchen knife was inserted into the back of the sofa.

The two gangsters walked away angrily. All that was left in the house was a mess.

But the bank card with college tuition deposited in it was still confiscated from home.

My dad took out the kitchen knife and said, "I will use this trick next time."

"Next time, this trick will be useless." I squatted on the ground to clean it up, my hair disheveled. dejected.

I know that even if we can raise the tuition fees, they will still come and they will not leave us any money. Until the 150,000 yuan is paid off, I will never think about going to college.

"Dad, I don’t want to drop out of school."

My dad was silent for a long time.

He sighed: "Let’s do one more job."

p>

In the past, my dad and an aunt teamed up to deceive several merchants from out of town. They specifically selected those with wives and threatened to send "evidence" to their families, so those people did not dare to call the police afterwards.

Therefore, the success rate is very high.

At that time, I was still in elementary school and was young, so I would go out for fun downstairs.

Sometimes I would go up there with my dad, and as my aunt’s daughter, I would cry and scold the merchants for not leaving without paying compensation, and so on.

You can say that the three of us are shameless. But in 1998, everyone was laid off, and it was difficult to survive without taking advantage of others. It is said that there was also a father and son who blocked the road and robbed him together. In comparison, the Immortal Jump is much gentler. Those who have a family and a house still come out to mess around and deserve to be deceived by us.

Of course, a crime is a crime, and we have no shame in saying that we are also good at stealing.

But I didn’t expect that ten years later, we would be on the job again.

"I'll go too." I said to my dad.

My dad was very reluctant, but someone did have to keep a lookout. One less outsider means one less person to share the money with.

He sighed: "Let's go find Aunt Wang first."

Aunt Wang, our partner back then, later found a stable job and worked at a toll station. The business was put down.

She lives next door to me now.

Is the mother of two children.

"Aunt Wang."

We met in an alley downstairs. This kind of thing is not something to be discussed at home.

Aunt Wang stood at the entrance of the alley, pretending to look at the scenery, but actually looking to see if anyone was passing by.

She is two years younger than my dad and is well taken care of. I also know that someone who can be the leading actress of the Immortal Dance is very beautiful. She has big waves and is a beautiful aunt who doesn't talk much.

To our surprise, we told her our intention and she agreed without any hesitation.

"Lao Yu. There are guests at home this morning, right?" She heard the noise and guessed what happened, but she didn't say anything.

We nodded awkwardly.

"After this, don't borrow any more." She said, "Xiaoxiao is a college student and shouldn't live like this."

I looked at it gratefully Aunt Wang glanced at her. I know she did it for me. She didn't have to wade through this muddy water.

When I was a child, for a long time, I thought she would become my stepmother.

In short, that’s it, for college tuition. A father and daughter, and their next door neighbor. Once again engaged in illegal business.

We found the small cards we had used before and scattered them at the door of the hotel room.

In a small county town, the only people who come to stay in high-end hotels are usually foreigners, and they are rich. This is how we screen our clients. Simple, but effective.

My dad answered a few calls, pretending to have a lot of service staff, asking customers what they wanted. In fact, the aunt had already written down the mobile phone number, replaced the last digit of the mobile phone number with the other 9 digits, and called them one by one.

At that time, operators liked to recommend couple numbers to couples. The numbers were basically the same except for the last digit.

Call each other one by one. If a man answers, hang up. If a woman picks you up, pretend to be a friend and ask if your lover is on a business trip in Qingliu County (our county). It seems that I just saw it in Qingliu County. Talking about old times or something.

As long as the answer is yes. Half of this person's feet are already in our trap.

Soon, the fat sheep fell into the trap.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly. The fat sheep's room is on the second floor.

I put on a mask, replaced Aunt Wang, and entered the hotel.

It was not a temporary idea, I had thought about it from the beginning. There is no reason to let Aunt Wang bear this risk again. Just let her be the lookout.

Of course they disagree, but they can't win over me.

Aunt Wang gave me a small bottle of anti-wolf spray and told me to keep in touch. My dad didn't look at me. He sighed fiercely, but there were tears in his eyes. A fairy dance, it seems like a separation between life and death.

It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid.

"Dad, just do it for me." I turned my head and said, "Try more."

When I got on the elevator, I Suddenly I noticed a boy following behind me. Carrying a schoolbag, he was tall and thin, also wearing a mask. After entering the elevator, he said nothing.

Isn’t it hot in the summer?

Colleagues? Male counterparts?

The boy suddenly spoke: "Are you okay?"

"What?" I was stunned.

"It's nothing." He seemed to smile through the mask: "I recognized the wrong person."

After entering the guest room, everything went smoothly.

The fat middle-aged man went to take a shower in a hurry without even touching her.

I leaned on the edge of the balcony and sent a text message to my dad: "Fat sheep, go take a shower."

My dad fastened himself to the steel pipe and entered the hotel.

We are closing the net.

Inadvertently, when I looked up, Aunt Wang was running in this direction. A call from Aunt Wang soon came on the phone:

"Run."

Aunt Wang tried hard not to scream.

I looked over, and in the distance, outside the hotel, at some point, a police car parked! Some police officers in plain clothes were getting out of the police car!

I understood in an instant that we were the ones being trapped!

8

It’s too late to go out through the main entrance. You’ll just run into the police!

Fortunately, the mask was never taken off and no one saw my face. The policeman pretending to be a "fat sheep" was running water in the bathroom to paralyze my vigilance.

We still have time!

I immediately turned on the TV and turned it to maximum volume.

Immediately, there was a knock on the door. My dad's voice:

"Hello, tea in the guest room."

He also received a text message from Aunt Wang and immediately changed his words. I opened the door and said thank you.

My dad lowered his body, covering him with my body, and closed the door. Just like this, the father and daughter carefully walked back to the room from the bathroom door.

A few seconds later, a quilt was spread out on the balcony on the second floor.

I grabbed the quilt and climbed down quietly. The other end of the quilt was held by my father.

You have to move quickly, you have to move quickly. If that "fat sheep" comes out and sees where we are running, it will all be over!

In the bathroom, the sound of water gradually became quieter.

My dad saw me landing, dropped the quilt, gritted his teeth, rolled off the balcony, and fell on the quilt, making a slight muffled sound.

Countless footsteps and shouts came from the guest room on the second floor. Just one step away, so dangerous!

"They are running into the hall!" I shouted randomly, making noises in the east and west. A policeman stuck his head out from the balcony and looked around. The three of us pressed against the wall, hugging the quilt tightly, not daring to express our anger.

For a long time, I carefully confirmed that there was no one on the balcony for the time being. We just hurriedly walked out of the hotel.

We stopped in an alley. Panting and embarrassed.

Auntie lit a cigarette and realized I was still there. Killed again.

"I should ask someone to give me some." She said calmly, as if she was evaluating other people's affairs. "Lao Yu, you have offended someone."

I smiled bitterly. Over the years, my family has offended many people.

"Find him and I will kill him."

Aunt Wang gave him a reproachful look: "The child is still here."

I don't care. . To be honest, I think it is a miracle in the education world that I can still go to college after living like this.

"This way of making money is no longer possible." Aunt Wang thought for a while and said, "Old Yu, I know you don't want to hear it. But, the matter of selling the property..."

< p> Aunt Wang did not continue. After a moment of silence, he only whispered: "How about we stop waiting for her... Life has to pass."

I touched the pendant around my neck. A gentle little fish.

Aunt Wang is talking about my mother. In 1997, when Hong Kong returned to China, my mother disappeared mysteriously. The only thing left was this fish-shaped necklace.

Over the years, all my family’s money and debts have been spent on searching for this person.

My dad and I didn't talk.

10

Summer night, barbecue stall downstairs. Uncle Chen was the host and invited all the adults in the building to dinner.

After three drinks, we talked about selling a house again.

In 2008, a rich man came from nowhere and fell in love with this building. I want to buy it and convert it into a hotel. Offered an extremely high price.

Uncle Chen’s daughter is going to high school, and he has long wanted to sell the building and get the money so that he can move his daughter to the city. The further away from this damn place the better. Only my dad disagreed and refused to sell it until he died.

If this building is missing one unit, it will not be sold.

Another round of talk on the road, and my dad refused to let go. Aunt Wang originally wanted to persuade my dad that selling the building would benefit everyone. Unexpectedly, Uncle Chen said he was impatient and put down the wine glass.

"Lao Yu." Uncle Chen said, "You don't want Sister Wang's two sons to know what you and Sister Wang did, right?"

I understood in an instant that in the afternoon , who clicked on us to the police.

There was silence at the dinner table.

Aunt Wang did not speak, she picked up a bottle of beer. He meandered up to Uncle Chen. It seemed like he was pouring wine for Uncle Chen.

The beer bottle exploded on Uncle Chen’s head.

It’s a mess, it’s all a mess.

Aunt Wang tied up her hair beautifully and came to me: "Xiaoxiao, go home." I hesitated, but the look in her eyes didn't allow me to refuse.

When we left there, the adults were already huddled together. Uncle Chen and my dad were on the ground, scissor-kicking each other to death. Aunt Wang's hair was pulled back by Uncle Chen's wife, and she fought back in embarrassment.

A mess.

11

I sat at home and turned on the TV. The volume was turned up to maximum. Covering up the movement downstairs.

Touched the jade pendant around his neck.

Only I know how much I hate my mother. I hate why she left without saying goodbye and made our life a mess.

I hate why she hasn’t come back yet. This way, my dad and I don’t have to hang on to the building. Become a nuisance to everyone.

On TV, distant Beijing appeared. The countdown to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games has begun.

"5, 4, 3, 2..."

At this time, I suddenly discovered with tears in my eyes that the wall of my house was slowly bulging.

Like a breathing monster.

A few seconds later, there was a loud bang! The fire broke through the wall and swept towards me!

I finally realized that this was an explosion!

12

Was I... killed?

The dizziness gradually faded away.

I slowly opened my eyes.

The early morning sunlight shines on the ground. Cicadas chirp and birds chirp.

I walked out of bed in a daze and came to the living room, hearing a crisp slap.

Two gangsters, one pressed my dad’s head. A yellow guy slapped my dad in the face:

"Run? Run again!?"

I was stunned.

My dad saw me coming out and called me. Looking at my eyes, trying hard to reach consciousness with me.

But I was totally stuck there.

"What's going on?!"

13

The two bastards did not quarrel for too long and said: "Remember, We know where your daughter is!" He broke some things, took away the bank card for college tuition, and left cursing.

My dad and I were cleaning up the messy house. Before I could recover, I heard my dad sigh: "Let's do it one more time."

14< /p>

I think it is very possible that I am living in a dream.

Scorching sun, hotel, plainclothes. On the balcony of the second floor, there was a quilt and a woman crawling down.

The only difference is that the one climbing down today is Aunt Wang. That's just because I was in a daze and forgot to offer to take her place!

15

Another desperate escape. Everything is exactly the same as yesterday! !

The three of us hid in an alley, panting. Aunt Wang wanted to light a cigarette for herself, but when she realized I was still there, she put it out.

I took the cigarette from Aunt Wang’s hand.

They looked at me in surprise.

I trembled and took a dry breath. By now, I was completely messed up.

I...did I have a dream, a dream that predicted everything?

"Dad, is our house insured?" I held a cigarette between my fingers, trembling.

"No..."

"That's really... something big happened."

16

My house can't be blown up!

In the summer night, I squatted downstairs, guarding the gas tank, induction cooker, Erguotou...

All the flammable and explosive materials that were moved out of my house were there. This is it.

At the barbecue stall, the adults have already started fighting. On someone's TV, the countdown to the opening of the Olympic Games came.

"5, 4, 3, 2..."

I covered my ears and ran away, but I heard a loud bang above my head.

I raised my head blankly. The source of the explosion was still my home. The wall bursts. A bed, with smoke coming from its butt, fell towards me.

I picked up a pot lid and held it in front of me.

In my limited field of vision, the bed continued to expand above my head.

I cursed lightly: "Fuck!"

17

I opened my eyes and walked out of the living room tremblingly.

Two debt collectors were beating my dad.

"Is this dream endless?" I asked tremblingly.

"What?"

"Why do I die so miserably every time?!!"

"Are you trying to win over shrimps?!!"

18

From then on, my life became an endless loop.

No matter if I die or not, no matter where I run...as long as the time reaches eight o'clock in the evening, there will be an explosion in my house on time. As soon as I opened my eyes, the debtor was beating my dad in the living room!

I finally understood that I would probably be trapped in this day forever!

19

In the summer night, I was riding a bicycle and speeding on the national highway.

I just want to get out. Get out of this damn day!

Behind me, clusters of fireworks rose and bloomed in the sky. It was the fireworks to celebrate the Olympics. It was almost eight o'clock, and I didn't have much time left.

I squinted my eyes, and the dazzling light in front of me illuminated me. But it turned out that it was just the high beam of a large truck.

I flew out in a parabola.

When he fell to the ground, his consciousness was completely blurred. Countless severe pains boiled in every corner of the body. The body shook slightly uncontrollably.

In a daze, I vaguely saw it. A boy stopped in front of me.

Simple and clean short-sleeved shirt, wearing a medical mask, and carrying a schoolbag.

On his wrist, he wears a red string bracelet.

He opened his schoolbag, took out a small plastic box, took out a syringe from it, flicked the wall of the tube twice, leaned down, and injected something into my arm.

I think I have seen him.

The last look before losing consciousness was that he lowered his head and kissed me gently on my forehead

...Is it my imagination?
