Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Big iron factory, cell.

This cell has been built together for nearly a hundred years, almost on the first day of the birth of a large railway factory. For almost a hundred years, it has not been known how many workers have been held here, tortured and killed, as victims of "chicken monkeys", to preserve the high pressure rule of the fairy repairers.

Blackened steel tools are stained with speckled rebuttal blood and suspicious liquids. Although the colour is nearly invisible, they still haunt the intense bloody smell. It is the soul that has been trapped here for centuries and is moaning low.

At this moment, the cell is filled with hundreds of people, all scaled up, bleeding with seven tricks, spitting foam on the floor like rotten mud, and if the chest still has a faint asthma, it would be the same as the dead.

They are the backbone of the worry-free uprising.

Xu Zhicheng held a rusty shackle, curled in the corner, his chest almost solidified, like a kilogram of boulder.

Big eyes, but one last glimmer, stubbornly blooming, will not extinguish for a long time.

“Brother Zhicheng--”

A man with a short body, like a stone pier, slightly less injured than him, while taking care of him, whispered, “Old Meng and the stone did not survive, they have just been taken away by the fairy repairer, this battle, we have lost completely! ”

Xu Zhicheng stared at the crack like a cobweb above the cell. This crack reflected deep into his eyes. It blossomed like two flowers. He didn't seem to hear the words of his companion. After a while, he said: "Four, I just shrugged for a while. Guess who I dreamed of? ”

The man, “Four”, who was short and strong as a stone pier, smiled slightly. "Have you dreamed of Bao and Qi? ”

“No, those two kids in my house, they keep waving in front of me as soon as they open their eyes. Where do they meet in their dreams? ”

Xu Zhicheng grinned, grinning hard, “I dreamed about your father. ”

“What the hell?” Stone Pier man stands still.

“I dreamt about your father and my father. Aren't they brothers? ”

Xu Zhicheng weakly said, “Si, do you remember a long time ago, when we were two hours old, those two old guys were still there. At that time, the two of us were genuine leather. Dongjia stole the chicken and Xi family's dog, stole the pigeons and steel balls from the factory to make slingshots, specializing in hitting the butt of big girls. Whoever wears fancy clothes will be beaten up. Once someone sued us at home, and then your father and my father joined forces to arrest us. Of course, we ran away. We ran several factories and climbed over the pipeline. Finally, they blocked us. It was called a good beating, good guy, our butts are almost gone.

“Two old guys got tired, sitting together laughing and drinking, and the two of us lay on the floor, grinning our teeth and rubbing our asses, couldn't even sit down, couldn't cry -- remember? ”

The stone pier man “Old Four” stood still for a long time. Every wrinkle on his face opened up alive. He laughed dumbly: “Remember, remember, can you forget this? When I think about it, my ass still hurts! ”

“Ha-ha-ha! ”

Xu Zhicheng laughed, “But ah, after the two old guys gave us a solid pack, the next day another man sent us a carefully polished slingshot, with a slide rail and aim, better than all the children's slingshots in the factory at that time, a hundred times better, the old guy said that hitting people with slingshots and smashing windows is not enough, can go to the abandoned mine around the big railway factory to hit the 'tiger', is the real deal! ”

“There's that! ”

The smile of the stone pier man “Lao Si" grew brighter and brighter. “Hit the big girl's ass, I'm not as good as you, but when it comes to hitting" Tiger ", you're far from my opponent! ”

“Yes, when you don't fight dozens of 'tigers' back, grab a string of wire, bake it on fire, incense, it smells so good! ‘Clicked' a big chew, full of oil, the old guy brought it to drink, and he screamed, and those faded cans of meat from the birds are unrivalled! ”

Xu Zhicheng closed his eyes slightly and the corner of his eyes was sparkling. “Si, do you remember where your slingshot went later? ”

The stone pier man shook his head: “Too many years, who remembers! ”

“Yeah, I lost my slingshot too. ”

Xu Zhicheng licked his dry, cracked lips and replied, “But I can't forget the smell of grilled 'Tiger' in my life. That oil, I really want to eat it again quickly and painfully. It's only a pity that the big iron factory has expanded more than a dozen times over the past few decades. All the mines and tunnels have been scratched clean. It's been a long time since I've seen 'Tiger', right? ”

“Exactly. ”

”- [sic]" There's no luck in the children now, "said the stone pier.“ I haven't even eaten a ‘tiger' in decades. What is it, Brother Zhicheng? ”

What does it mean that the Fourth Lady can't eat Xu Zhicheng?

After completing his father, slingshot and “tiger", Xu Zhicheng was silent for a long time. He coughed slightly. “Si, talk with your heart and follow Zhicheng on this path. Do you regret it? ”

The stone pier man “The Four” did not hesitate to shake his head like a wave drum: “No regrets, never regrets! In the hands of these goddamn fairy fixers, the days can't pass, spelling is dead, not spelling is dead, at least we pulled so many fairy fixer backs!

“I've lived my whole life and never thought I'd be able to hurt before I died. Fuck a fairy once, it's worth it a hundred times!

“Zhicheng, I know what you're thinking, put a hundred and twenty hearts into it, people have long anticipated this result, none of the brothers will blame you, even if the time comes to do it again, the brothers will still work with you and die fixing fairies! ”

Xu Zhicheng laughed: “Well said, Dry Dead Immortal! I know nobody's gonna regret this, and I've never regretted it, but I'm talking about another thing —— the Worry-Free thing. Do you regret having a Worry-Free thing with me? ”

Shi Pian man's "old four” careless laughter solidified, hesitated for a long time, forced: “Well, there's nothing to regret, we did it all. In the circumstances, we had no second way to go. When the opportunity came, we had to grab it. If we didn't grab it, we'd be trampled under our feet for another 500 years!

“No regrets, no regrets! ”

“But I have some regrets. No, I should say I'm afraid. ”

Xu Zhicheng's eyes cracked into flashing ripples, muttering, "I seem to have slept for a long time, but I haven't had half a dream, I haven't even had a nightmare, until now I wake up to feel scared.

“I haven't thought of my father and my mother in a long time.

“It's been a long time since I thought about those things when I was a kid. It's strange. When we were kids, we obviously had such a hard time eating, eating, playing, going to the factory every day to help adults work, but now I think about it, I can't remember the bitterness and tiredness, I just remember the happy things.

“And my two boys, who were just as wonderful as we were when we were kids, I thought Forget Resolutions would help me completely forget about losing their pain, but I haven't forgotten about losing their pain. Instead, when they were happy and happy with them, I almost forgot about one.

“Fortunately, just moments before I completely forgot, someone woke me up in time and woke all of us up. It was a risk. Almost, almost forgot all of us. To forget how to make a slingshot, how to hit a 'tiger' -- Fourth Sister, haven't you forgotten? ”

“No, even a few decades ago, I still remember clearly. ”

Shi Pian Man's "Four” eyebrow flying dance, “Zhicheng, you don't understand this, beating ‘Tiger' is not just eye and ear, there is a trick, I haven't passed on people for decades, today, today, let me tell you! ”

Lao Zhicheng reached Xu Zhicheng's ear and spoke softly for a moment. Xu Zhicheng's eyes became bigger and bigger. He suddenly realized: “Well, there's your old fourth. You are too bad, you are too bad! ”

Over two and a half hundred years old people laughed out loud at the same time, laughing so that no other inmate in the cell could touch the monk's head.

“Four...”

Xu Zhi laughed for half a day. The cloudy tears all laughed and flowed across his face. He asked, "Has your daughter and grandson escaped? Have you heard from them? ”

“Well, all escaped, no news of them, probably not caught by the fairy fixer. ”

"In these days, no news is the best news," said the stone pier man. “We have stayed here for so long, it should be enough for them to escape to the depths of the ground. The fairy repairers don't want to go to the hunting place, then we will see their creation! ”

“Well, well, well, don't worry, man, it's not easy to live, but if you bite your teeth, you're going to die, and it's not that easy to die, our ancestors can last 10,000 years underground, maybe these kids can last 10,000 more years, who knows? ”

Xu Zhicheng sighed, "Si, we haven't forgotten our father and the good days of the past, and your children have escaped safely, so who says we lost this war? According to me, we won. At least our kids don't have to be enslaved and tortured by the big iron factory anymore, do they? ”

Shi Pian Man “Lao Si" stunned for a moment, patting his thigh straight, grinning and laughing: “Yes, Zhicheng is right, we won, our children will never be enslaved by the big iron factory and tortured by the trained fairies! ”

Xu Zhicheng got the answer he wanted to hear. He closed his eyes satisfactorily and smiled like a child on his face. What was singing in his mouth vaguely?

A slightly younger worker didn't know what he was singing. Only the people of Shi Duan's "fourth” life, after listening to it for a long time, vaguely remembered it. This melody seemed to be a song their fathers had hummed to them a long time ago.

The lyrics have long been extinguished in the long river of time, but the familiar melody is still buried in everyone's heart.

“Wow! ”

The door to the black iron cell was slammed open, and a cold, icy voice broke in: "Everybody, out! ”

In response to that voice, countless people responded, ancient children's songs.
