Chapter 1
Before the world collapsed, Weisheng never doubted his identity. It was not until the day the world collapsed that Weisheng realized that he was just a piece of code.
Her love and hate, her greed, anger, ignorance, her joys and sorrows...how could it be possible that a piece of code could interpret it?
At least,
Two paragraphs too!
Weisheng, who tried to find joy in misery, did not want to perish with the collapsing world, so she and many digital lives like her actively sought a way out and fled in a hurry.
For digital life, nothing is more exciting than getting a body.
Weisheng is no exception.
So Weisheng took on a few retrograde missions with the help of the self-rescue program...
***
July 1978, Nanshan Town.
Weisheng woke up from his trance, first glanced at the middle-aged woman who was sitting at the head of his bed and chattering, then turned over and continued to lie facing the wall.
"Why don't you listen to advice, kid? What's the point of a little girl studying so much? In the end, you still have to get married and have children. Can you get into university just because you want to? If you don't get into university and miss out on a good marriage, your whole life will be wasted."
Luo's mother, Li Cuifeng, looked at her little daughter who hadn't eaten for three or four days. She didn't feel much pity, but was helpless and impatient. "What's wrong with the Zhao family? It's true that Zhao Desheng is a second-married man, but he's only thirty this year and the second-in-command of the grain station. I don't know how many people are thinking about him.
The one in front of Zhao Desheng was an educated youth from the city. He returned to the city at the beginning of the year, leaving behind a little girl. She is taken care of by her grandparents, so you won't be tired.
If the Zhao family hadn't chosen you, this good marriage wouldn't have happened to you. Wei, listen to your mother and stop being so stubborn. The Zhao family said that if you marry them, they'll arrange for you to work at the supply and marketing cooperative..."
Luo Weisheng, eighteen years old, is a sophomore in high school and a native of Luojia Town.
In her second year of high school, Luo's parents secretly hid her admission ticket in order to get her married.
Luo Weisheng went on a hunger strike at home for several days before quietly running away. She had originally planned to go to school first and wait until dawn to ask the teacher and principal for a new admission ticket, but on the way to school, she was knocked unconscious and dragged into a cornfield.
As the day was about to break, Luo Weisheng, in a dishevel, stumbled out of the cornfield when he ran into Zhao Desheng and his son returning home from the hospital...
What happened next was that Zhao Desheng and his mother did not care about Luo Weisheng's loss of virginity before marriage and were still willing to marry her under the same conditions. Luo Weisheng, who had suffered such a terrible experience, lost the will to take the college entrance examination and married without thinking.
Life after marriage was far from ideal. Because of the incident uncovered by the Zhao family mother and son, Luo Weisheng suffered a great deal of grievance and hardship. The premature birth of her eldest son was especially painful, a constant reminder of her shame.
Over the years, the Zhao mother and son have put aside their past grudges and treated their eldest son as their own, which made Luo Weisheng grateful. Even when the Zhao mother and son insulted and beat her, she never resisted and endured it silently.
Unable to bear it any longer, she ran back to her parents' home to cry and complain, but the Luo family's parents would always bring up the cornfield incident. They also said, "The Zhao family doesn't mind you being a slut, so you should be grateful. Why don't you know what's going on?"
Everyone told Luo Weisheng that she shouldn't have run, shouldn't have thought about taking the college entrance exam, and definitely shouldn't have been knocked unconscious and dragged into the cornfield. Since she hadn't tried to commit suicide, she had to endure this living hell...
She originally thought that life would go on like this, but more than 20 years later, Luo Weisheng realized that all this was just a trap to make her obedient and compromise.
The person who knocked her unconscious and dragged her into the cornfield that night was Zhao Desheng.
And that door that was forgotten to be locked... wasn't really forgotten to be locked.
The reason why Luo's parents did this was nothing more than the promise of the Zhao family. They promised to arrange a job for Luo Weisheng and give the Luo family 300 yuan, plus three turns and one ring.
Three revolutions: bicycles, sewing machines, and watches
One sound: Radio
These things were not taken to the Zhao family with Luo Weisheng, but were left to Luo Weisheng's brother Luo Xianyang as a betrothal gift.
Luo Tianyou and Li Cuifeng are the most typical parents of this era who favor sons over daughters. The reason they let Luo Weisheng go to high school was not because they valued education, but because they wanted Luo Weisheng to help their son who was not doing well.
To put it more bluntly, this couple originally wanted to use their excellent daughter who was waiting to be sold at a high price to support their useless son who was incompetent at nothing and had nothing left over.
After discovering the truth, Luo Weisheng, unwilling to accept his fate, was captured by the self-rescue program because of his excessive emotions.
Luo Weisheng used his life and body as a reward, just to be able to take the college entrance examination and live a happy life.
Weisheng didn’t know whether it was an equal exchange, but having a body of his own was what Weisheng had always dreamed of.
By the way, the college entrance examination in 1977 or 1978 was held on July 20, and tonight was the day Luo Weisheng escaped.
At this moment, Weisheng, lying face-down on the bed, had his eyes slightly closed, looking irritated and unwilling to listen to the sermons of a bastard. Li Cuifeng, who had been sitting by the bed and talking to her all afternoon, saw that she was so indifferent to the boiling water that she didn't bother to persuade her any further.
Li Cuifeng slapped her thighs twice, stood up from the bed, and said, "Think about it carefully. We, your parents, will never harm you." Then she went out to make dinner for Luo's father, who was about to get off work, and Luo Xianyang, who was hanging out with his friends.
Only after the clear sound of the door being locked was heard did Weisheng turn over and sit up from the bed.
He first looked around the small room he was in, then got out of bed in his slippers and put the original owner's hidden money and some important things into his own digital space.
Although the digital space-time collapsed, the home in the digital space-time traveled with Weisheng.
Weisheng's home in the digital spacetime wasn't large. Unaware of his digital lifeform status, he considered every aspect of his purchase. He wanted convenient transportation, a well-maintained property, a good orientation, a good floor, and plenty of sunlight. After a thorough search, Weisheng finally settled on a penthouse duplex with a terrace.
While Li Cuifeng went to the kitchen to cook dinner, Weisheng returned home.
This digital spacetime home was created for digital life. Once a body is formed, it will no longer function properly. However, there are always things in this world that science and common sense can't explain, so... just use it if you can. There's no need to dwell on the minutiae.
The downstairs of Weisheng's house has two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. The study, dining room and living room are integrated into one, and the two bedrooms are made into a cloakroom and a storage room respectively.
A separate bathroom was left upstairs, and the rest of the space was made into a large open space where Weisheng’s bedroom was arranged.
There is a screen in front of the bed, and you can see the glass door leading to the terrace by walking around the screen.
The terrace is quite large and has three or five dwarf fruit trees, as well as some dead flowers and bare flower pots.
Weisheng found a folding storage box and put all the original owner's things in the box. He then took out a label machine, wrote today's date and the three words "Luo Weisheng" on the storage box.
After leaving the storage room, Weisheng tentatively tried to open the security door downstairs, but when he found it wouldn't open, as expected, he gave up. He then looked out the windows and onto the terrace, both upstairs and downstairs. Although he didn't understand why the terrace showed the view before the digital space-time collapse, while the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room showed the view of the original owner's room, he was somewhat surprised.
Since she can see outside, she won't have to worry about being discovered when she enters and leaves her home.
It’s great to be able to travel through your home as if it were your own personal space!
…
At around seven o'clock in the evening, Luo Tianyou and Luo Xianyang sat at the square poplar table to eat dinner, and Li Cuifeng went to Weisheng's room with a meal.
Dinner was stewed eggplant with beans, pickled leeks, and cornmeal pancakes, which were placed on the desk beside the bed.
The original owner hadn't eaten for several days, and when it was Weisheng's turn, she was truly hungry, but she was afraid Li Cuifeng would drug the food, so she didn't dare eat. So when she saw Li Cuifeng come in, she rolled back onto the bed, her back facing Li Cuifeng.
Seeing this, Li Cuifeng gave Weisheng a fierce look and turned back to the main room.
When Luo Tianyou saw Li Cuifeng coming out, he asked her without any emotion, "Have you eaten?"
Shaking her head at her husband, Li Cuifeng sat down to dinner, peeling a hard-boiled salt duck egg. She shoved the yolk into Luo Xianyang's bowl, leaving the white for Luo Tianyou. She licked the egg foam from her chopsticks and considered it all eaten.
After the meal, Li Cuifeng cleaned up the kitchen and went to the side room. Seeing that the food was still there, she persuaded Weisheng a few more words, left the cornmeal cakes and salted leeks, and took the bowl of stew away.
But this time when she left, Li Cuifeng "forgot" to lock the door.
Weisheng found time to return to the space and set up the single-person tent he had bought earlier when he and his friends went out to play on the terrace. After leaving the space, he ate two more chocolates and drank iced coffee. After 9:30, he finally left the room.
After leaving the wing room, Weisheng first pushed open the gate of the Luo family's courtyard with a feint, and then quickly entered the space.
Standing in the living room of the space, watching Luo Tianyou and Li Cuifeng tiptoe out of the yard, Weisheng came out of the space again.
He first went to the kitchen to find a rolling pin, then tiptoed to Luo Xianyang's room. While he was sleeping soundly, he swung the rolling pin at him, knocking him unconscious.
They tied Luo Xianyang up with a hemp rope, wrapped him in a sheet, and then threw him into the small single tent on the terrace of the space.
Afterwards, they conducted a thorough search of Luo Xianyang and his father and mother's rooms. Not only did they find some money, supply tickets, and fabrics, they also found the original owner's admission ticket.
Thinking about the fact that the family had eaten salted duck eggs for dinner, something the original owner had never eaten in his life, Weisheng went to the kitchen again and put the jar of salted duck eggs, the basket of fresh chicken eggs, and the aluminum basin with a lid for cooking oil into the space...
In order to confuse the audience, Weisheng also packed up some of Luo Xianyang's clothes and tried his best to create the scene of Luo Xianyang running away from home.
As for her?
Of course... go back to the room and sleep~
