fly
Half a month was spent in cultivation.
At eight o'clock in the evening in the middle of the month, Zhong Ling started the live broadcast.
"Here it comes! I've been waiting for it by the watch!"
"I didn't get a wishing sign, so I must be on the mic this month!"
"Don't fight with me, my mother is still waiting for Zhong Shen to save her life!"
“The time to witness a miracle has come again!”
The barrage of comments scrolled by quickly.
Zhong Ling sat there, "Let's start our first live broadcast today."
As soon as she finished speaking, she tapped the screen and the microphone was connected.
A man in his thirties appeared on the screen. He was wearing a faded T-shirt, had messy hair, and wore a pair of glasses. He looked a little unkempt.
Seeing that he was actually connected, the man was obviously stunned and at a loss:
"I... I'm connected?" he asked, his voice trembling slightly.
"Haha, another lucky ordinary person!"
"Look at this guy's expression, it's the same as mine when I won the lottery."
"Brother, hold on! Don't get so excited that you can't speak. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
The man took several deep breaths before he managed to calm down. He bowed respectfully in front of the screen.
"Hello, Master Zhong! My name is Zhang Wei, and I..."
His words stopped again, as if he was trying to form his words.
Netizens are very curious about what wish this ordinary man would make.
Finally, Zhang Wei plucked up the courage and shouted with all his strength.
"Master Zhong, I want to fly!"
The air froze for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room exploded.
"What? Did I hear correctly? He said he wanted to fly?"
"Pfft! Bro, are you serious? That's all you're going to wish for?"
"I thought he wanted 100 million, or asked his boss to give him a promotion and a raise."
"What a waste! This is the most wasteful wish ever! I'd love to have it for me!"
"Although...why do I feel like laughing and a little touched at the same time?"
To many people, this is a foolish wish that has nothing to do with personal or social interests.
Zhong Ling's expression did not change at all. She just looked at Zhang Wei on the screen calmly.
"Why do you want to fly?" she asked softly.
Zhang Wei scratched his head and said embarrassedly:
"I'm just an ordinary office worker. Every day I squeeze into the subway to go to work, sit in a cubicle, type code in front of the computer, and then squeeze into the subway to go home. Every day is the same life."
His voice lowered:
“Sometimes I dream that I have turned into a bird and fly in the sky, going wherever I want.
No crowded subways, no endless code to write, no project deadlines.
I want to feel what it's like to defy gravity, just once."
His words made countless netizens tremble in their hearts, and the number of mocking comments decreased.
"Fuck, the defense is broken, isn't this me?"
"I work 996, go to work, and back home. I've forgotten what color the sky is."
“Who doesn’t want to break free and fly freely for once?”
"Suddenly I feel that this wish is so extravagant and romantic."
Zhang Wei's wish may seem childish, but it touches the hearts of those people in modern cities who are overwhelmed by life. What they desire most is freedom.
Zhong Ling's mouth curled up:
"Okay." She nodded. "Go to your window."
Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, then ran to the window. Because he was too excited, he almost tripped over the electric wires on the ground.
He opened the window and the evening breeze blew his hair. He lived in an old residential building facing the street and could see the road and shops outside.
"Master Zhong, I... I'm fine." He spoke to the phone screen, his heart pounding.
Netizens also became nervous, they didn't know what method Zhong Ling would use.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhong Ling raised her hand and snapped her fingers at Zhang Wei across the screen.
The next second, Zhang Wei felt his body lighten. He looked down and found that his feet had left the ground!
"ah!"
He let out a cry of surprise and his body slowly floated out of the window uncontrollably.
In the live broadcast room, netizens could see Zhang Wei's body flying higher and higher in the air.
"I... I'm flying! I'm really flying!"
Zhang Wei shouted wildly and danced in the air like a child.
He flew, without any aid, just as he had in his dream.
The evening breeze blew across his cheeks, and he looked down at the city, a scene he had never seen before.
"It's so beautiful, so beautiful!" he murmured to himself, tears sliding from the corners of his eyes and carried away by the wind.
No one spoke in the live broadcast room, and everyone was shocked by this scene.
For an ordinary person to fly in the air without any tools is something that would be unthinkable if it weren’t for the God Zhong.
Zhang Wei flew all the way, flying over the familiar streets and the city parks. At this moment, he felt like he was reborn.
About ten minutes later, Zhang Wei in the air felt his body sink, and a gentle force wrapped around him, sending him back to his home and landing steadily on the ground.
With his feet touching the ground again, Zhang Wei was still a little dazed, as if it was just a dream.
But the tear marks on his face and his pounding heart told him that everything was true.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhong Ling.
"Thank you, Master Zhong! Thank you! My life... is worth it!"
Zhong Ling didn't say much, just nodded lightly and cut off the microphone.
"Start the second microphone connection."
The scene switched, and a haggard middle-aged woman appeared on the screen, sitting on the sofa in the living room.
The woman's lips turned pale and it was difficult for her to even speak.
"Zhong...Zhong Shen..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was filled with tears, and her hands were tightly clutching the corners of her clothes, as if she was trying to calm herself down.
Netizens are also comforting the aunt:
"This auntie looks so haggard, did something happen at home?"
"Don't cry, Auntie. Tell me what's wrong slowly. The Zhongshen will help you!"
"Seeing her like that, I felt bad too."
The aunt took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress her emotions, and began to speak intermittently.
The woman's name is Wang Xiuying, and her son is Li Hao, who is 22 years old and just graduated from college.
Not long ago, Li Hao saw a job posting online. It was from a high-tech company in a neighboring country that was recruiting software engineers with a very high salary.
Li Hao was tempted. He ignored his parents' advice, got a passport and went abroad excitedly.
When he first arrived there, he called home once, but his voice sounded a little strange on the phone, and after reporting that he was safe, he said a few words quickly and hung up. Since then, Li Hao never called home again, and they could not contact their son.
Wang Xiuying and her husband went to the police, but due to the lack of specific information and the difficulty of cross-border law enforcement, there was no progress.
Over the past six months, the couple has been in tears and most of their hair has turned white.
