Chapter 1 Escape

"If I can do it again."

——Some men who are almost thirty years old, accomplish nothing, know that they are not even the ones who can probably imagine themselves as a writer, refuting the most repeated thoughts in distracting thoughts on every ordinary and simple lonely night.

…………

Before noon, the spring sunshine poured warmly on the Yangcheng Railway Station Square.

There are few shades in the huge square, and most of the people rushing to drive in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, they quickly entered the waiting room to avoid the heat waves.

Getting off the taxi, Zhou Kuan looked around the side of the curb, then walked a few steps southeastwards and stood on the central axis of the station;

Traffic, crowds, and overpasses that block most of the vision ahead, and tall buildings further away form Zhou Kuan's last prosperous image of Yangcheng.

After a while, Zhou Kuan took a deep tube of car exhaust, turned around and faced the eight bright red characters "Unify the motherland and revitalize China". After hesitating for a moment, he pulled the strap of the backpack on his right shoulder with his right shoulder and walked towards the waiting hall.

Queuing according to the process, brushing your ID card, security check, and waiting for the train when entering the station.

According to the indicators, Zhou Kuan entered the corresponding waiting room. He chose a corner to wait, without playing with his mobile phone or expression.

At about 12 o'clock, an ordinary express train from Yangcheng that departs through Nanqiu left the platform and it will take 10 hours and 6 minutes to Nanqiu.

In 2021, there are few young people who choose to take ordinary fast trains to travel far.

Zhou Kuan last time he took the ordinary express train when he was in college about 9 years ago.

This time, Zhou Kuan specially chose the slowest transportation plan from Yangcheng to Nanqiu, and chose the most expensive soft sleeper for ordinary express trains, and bought 4 tickets for a soft sleeper private room.

After walking to the corresponding soft bedroom, Zhou Kuan stood at the door and waited for a while.

When the flight attendant came over, Zhou Kuan spoke politely: "Hello, I bought a van, can I lock the door?"

While speaking, Zhou Kuan subconsciously pursed his lips and rolled his Adam's apple.

The flight attendant checked Zhou Kuan’s ticket booking information and nodded with a smile: “Of course.”

At this time, Zhou Kuan entered, locked the door and sat down.

The scenery outside the window quickly changed from a platform to a disorderly house and building on the side of the railway.

Zhou Kuan, who was sitting on the bed, took out his mobile phone and deleted various credit apps one by one. Soon, only a few software such as tools and instant messaging were left on his mobile phone.

Finally, Zhou Kuan checked the balance through the bank’s WeChat official account.

A message was quickly returned: 'Your default card is RMB available balance of RMB 2009.19.'

Zhou Kuan finally felt relieved.

Like many young people who have accomplished nothing, Zhou Kuan is also more confident than the sky, his life is thinner than paper, and he wants to reach the top in one step. He first falls into the early consumption trap, and then thinks that he can make a big fortune with small things and not set up a stall. He is confused all the time. Finally, more than a year ago, debt exploded.

Fortunately, Zhou Kuan also knew the word "hard work". During the two years of recession in the overall environment, he worked hard to pay off all his debts.

Then he resigned and quit his rent. He packed his luggage so simple that he could use a pair of shoulders to say goodbye to Yangcheng and book tickets back to his hometown.

Putting down my phone and looking out the window to see the gods, Zhou Kuan whispered: "It took 12 years to understand that a waste like me is not worthy of living in a big city like Yangcheng, and is only worthy of being a passerby. Now, it is the most suitable for me to go back to my hometown in a small county town in the 18th line to spend a safe life."

Some shallow memories flashed through my mind.

In the summer of 2009, Zhou Kuan, who received an admission letter from an ordinary university in Yangcheng, happily headed south to Yangcheng alone. Because he was far away from the urban railway station, his parents did not send him far away;

I found a part-time job as a supermarket shopping guide in the bustling Yangcheng and spent the summer vacation that I felt so happy at that time. Before the start of school, I saved more than 2,000 yuan;

At the turn of spring and summer in 2021, Zhou Kuan was in Yangcheng for 12 years and admitted that he was not worthy of staying in Yangcheng and returned to his hometown in shame. He also had more than 2,000 yuan left in his bank card, and he had no friends, no farewell...

The sound of the wheels rolling rhythmically is quite hypnotized in the afternoon.

Zhou Kuan did not resist sleepiness, and placed his hands horizontally in front of the window with his chin on his small dining table. He waited quietly to fall asleep.

‘Woo~’

The lights were not turned on in the car. When the train entered the tunnel, darkness hit. Zhou Kuan closed his eyes and fell asleep soundly with expectations for the little days in his hometown.

…………

"Yeah ~ yeah ~ hum ~"

Zhou Kuan, who woke up from his sleep, stretched out his big laziness and let out some lazy groans, and his whole body immediately became lighter.

Rubbing his eyes, Zhou Kuan subconsciously muttered: "It's dark."

suddenly.

A strong pull suddenly came from the left.

"A Kuan, stop dreaming, see I found something good."

It is a long-lost hometown accent. It is a bit frivolous and immature when spoken from the curly-haired boy.

Zhou Kuan subconsciously muttered: "It turns out that he is still dreaming."

He looked over with the trend and sat on the left. There were some...monotonous and simple photo pictures on the computer screen in front of him.

Zhou Kuan muttered in his heart: "The woman's face in this photo looks pretty pretty and looks familiar."

I felt a little moved and thought: 'This curly-haired boy is a bit like Liu Nian more than ten years ago. That guy missed his thinness when he was young a few years ago...'

After thinking about it, Zhou Kuan was still unhappy that he was 30 years old and still had such a dream of having a pediatric department. He complained: "That's it?"

"This is not enough!" The curly-haired boy sneered, "Just this, you don't know that you have been thinking about it for many days!"

Upon hearing this, Boss Zhou Kuan was unhappy, and his dream could still be mocked: "No, this kind of pediatrics is too bad. Can I like it? At least I have to watch it with t()y.com!"

As he said that, Zhou Kuan took the keyboard next to him and quickly typed letters in the browser address bar, and quickly prompted that the web page did not exist.

Seeing this, the curly-haired boy felt a little lost and still muttered: "I just said that you, A Kuan, can you know that..."

Seeing this, Zhou Kuan paused a little, ticked the mouse and called out the 'My Computer' icon, then found the image file in D disk, and sneered: "I forgot to hang a VPN when going to the external network. Just this Internet cafe computer, what's there?!"

Before the curly-haired boy staring at the screen had finished his disdainful expression, his eyes shone brightly, he turned around and looked at Zhou Kuan, grinning: "Wow, Brother Kuan is so proud! You are so proud!"

Zhou Kuan waved his hand and said indifferently: "You kid are so old, it's important to pay less attention to the teacher and practice more."

This tone makes you feel superior.

I couldn't find the depressed and humble "desergeant" look of running away from Yangcheng in disgrace.
