At the factory gate.
Master Sun squatted in a corner, turned his head and looked at the old factory, his eyes full of memories. The slogan "Working People Are the Most Glorious" at the factory gate was posted by him personally. He didn't want to work hard all his life and end up like this.
But when he thought of his own situation, he touched his neck.
pain!
He won't live for many days. If a person is not afraid of death, he will be able to think more openly about many things.
Take advantage of these two days to deal with my coworker's problems, and then go back to my hometown to buy a coffin.
…
He spent some money from his savings to hire some mourners. As a childless man, he didn't want to die in obscurity.
I have spent most of my life working in the factory and have no say in my own life, so my funeral must be grand.
If there is still some money left by then, donating it all to the elderly and lonely people in the mountains would be a good deed.
Thinking of this, Master Sun took out a pen, and then took out a greasy notebook from his arms.
"Give me a few more pairs of wreaths... Um... Why are they so expensive? Never mind... Just a pair of wreaths."
"Eating a feast... I don't have many friends, but I do have a few coworkers. I can't spend a lot of money, so I can't skimp on this. I have to treat my coworkers to a good meal."
"Hiring someone... needs to have a loud voice, someone who can cry at the top of their lungs. That's going to cost a fortune..."
“…”
Master Sun, who was calculating, didn't notice Qiao Yuan coming behind him at all.
"Master Sun, I see that you are in good health. Why are you writing this? It's unlucky." Qiao Yuan said while holding a cup of tea.
This tea is very good, brewed by Qiao Yuan himself.
Master Sun stopped writing and looked at Qiao Yuan with bloodshot eyes. His sallow face was full of fatigue and confusion.
"It will be useful sooner or later."
"I don't think it's necessary. Mr. Lu Xun once said, 'Smile often and good luck will come naturally!'"
Master Sun: “…”
"Never heard of Lu Xun? Then let me change to another famous person. Zhou Shuren once said, 'My destiny is determined by myself, not by God!'"
Master Sun: “…”
"Runtu once said that all monsters are paper tigers!"
Master Sun: “…”
"Young man, what's wrong?"
"Well... Master Sun, actually I want to ask how did that mark on your neck come about?" Qiao Yuan said.
…
Upon hearing this, Master Sun's hand holding the pen trembled and the wrinkles on his skin became deeper.
Qiao Yuan handed over the tea again.
Master Sun took it and drank it all in one gulp. Finally, he blinked and looked at the teacup and said, "This tea is quite expensive, isn't it?"
"It's not expensive. Compared to water, this tea is very cheap."
Master Sun shook his head, not understanding what Qiao Yuan said.
"Thank you for the tea, young man. What's your name? Come to my house for dinner in a few days."
"Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll prepare it in advance."
Qiao Yuan was stunned.
This... He was speechless.
Master Sun touched his neck.
Huh?
Why doesn’t it hurt anymore?
He quickly ran to the security room, looked in the mirror, and immediately rushed out again in a hurry.
"Young man, what did you just give me to drink?"
The mark on his neck lasted for several days, and even the doctor couldn't find it. How could it be cured by drinking some tea?
"It's just ordinary tea. Can you chat with me now?" Qiao Yuan said with a smile.
After being comforted, Master Sun began to tell the story that happened to him.
…
A week ago.
Master Sun, who had just finished his day shift, was in severe pain all over his body.
Once people get older, all kinds of illnesses come to them.
The factory has always implemented a two-shift system, and the machines cannot stop even if the workers stop.
When he was young, Master Sun could still handle it, but as he got older, his body could not handle it even during the day shift.
After going to the pharmacy to buy some cheap medicine, it was already very late when I got home.
He lived in the staff building, which was located in the wasteland behind the factory.
It is very close to the factory, making it convenient to work overtime at any time.
Therefore, no one lived in the staff building a long time ago.
After returning home and turning off the lights, Master Sun couldn't sleep that night no matter what he did and was in a very irritable mood.
Thinking about the fact that he had to go to work the next day, he could only force himself to sleep after taking the medicine.
I don’t know how long it took, but Master Sun suddenly woke up from his dream.
When Master Sun opened his eyes and looked at the mottled ceiling, he felt inexplicably nervous. When he stood up, he found that his back was wet with sweat.
…
In the silent room, only the old electric fan made a clanging sound. Under the bright moonlight, phantoms appeared everywhere for a moment.
He got up and poured himself a glass of water, but... when he looked out the window inadvertently, he was suddenly stunned. An unexpected figure appeared opposite the dormitory building.
The white figure didn't move. Master Sun didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the other person was looking at him.
The hand holding the water cup began to tremble.
To be honest, even though he had a strong mental state, he was still frightened by this scene in the middle of the night.
No one has lived here for a long time, and no one comes here usually.
I heard it used to be a cemetery.
Could it be...
Master Sun lost all desire to sleep and quickly drew the curtains and lay down on the bed... Finally, he fell into a drowsy sleep.
…
I thought it was just a dream,
But the next day, at the same time, he suddenly woke up again, remembered what happened last night, opened the curtains and took a curious look, and saw the white figure again.
The difference from last night was that it was standing at the door of the dormitory building, holding an iron chain and a mourning stick.
