In the abandoned copper mining town, the moment the diesel generator roared to restart, a cold ghost hand was placed on the girl's shoulder. White mist engulfed the street lights, and seven people entered the situation - the mine in 1991 was buried here, and the people who disappeared in 2015 were also buried here.

Chang'an City on the Lantern Festival should not be so dead. @ Douchengbaye ? . . I was standing on the second floor of an abandoned wine shop in the West City, holding half of the unfinished wine in my hand. The wine is sweet-scented osmanthus wine brewed by Mrs. Wang from the shop next door. At this time, it would have been robbed by those barbaric merchants. Now half of the jar is left, lying at my feet, with a layer of dust falling on the mouth of the jar. There should have been a bustle of people downstairs, and the sound of silk, bamboo and orchestra should have flowed over the roof like a tide, filling people's ears. The West Market is the bloodline of this country, with Hu merchants, Han merchants, jewelry traders from Persia, and slave traders from Tibet, all three religions and nine streams, a mixture of good and bad. The Lantern Festival is the most lively time of the year, and the lanterns all over the city can turn the sky red. But now, there is only the sound of chewing. The wet, sticky swallowing sound sounded like someone chewing water-soaked soil, or like some large beast grinding its teeth. I heard this sound once. Twelve years ago in Youzhou, there was a famine that year and it was this sound that came from the homes of people who changed their children to eat. But then it was cannibalism, and now - now I can't tell what it is. The world has changed, starting tonight.

Choice outweighs hard work. It's hard to make money from living people, so try another track to make money from dead people. @ Douchengbaye. . . The economy has been in a downturn in recent years, and everyone with a little bit of ambition has already gone into debt. The harder you work, the poorer you become... I am currently in such an embarrassing situation. They say that if a man has no money, he can even breathe wrongly. I didn't think so before, but now I feel the same way. Of course, you can't blame women for being realistic. After all, a man like me who is unemployed and still owes a lot of debt would have to run away. "I don't blame you..." I said to Wang Yao, "Who said I can't make money now!" "Three years in high school, four years in college, eight years in marriage..." She frowned, "Actually, you didn't lose anything, you've already made a lot of money!" "You made a profit? I didn't expect... You actually regarded our love as a business!" "Although it sounds unpleasant, I at least saved you a lot of overnight expenses..." "Overnight expenses?!" "Don't you need to pay when you go to a hotel to eat?" In fact, Wang Yao's family's financial situation is not good, far behind mine, so from high school to college, I would spend half of my living expenses to subsidize her. It was hard for her to graduate from college, but her major was difficult to find a job in. In the end, she barely found a job, but the salary was very low. She had no income in the first place, but she actually wanted to spend money in revenge. Anyway, I lost count of how many times I helped her pay off her credit card. Now that I think about it, I did spend a lot of money during the fifteen years I was with her. It is said that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly away when disaster strikes, but now she bites me back and accuses me of being a freeloader. Isn't this a bastard? I don't care how much money I spend on her. After all, she and I have real feelings. As a very emotional man, I don't care what she thinks. Anyway, I have had a clear conscience for the past fifteen years. "It hurts me when you say that... As if I haven't spent money on you..." "Okay, even if you spend money..." "What do you mean I spent money!" I cut her off, "I have spent money, and a lot of it!" "Okay, I admit that you loved me very much before, and you did spend a lot of money on me..." She nodded in agreement, and then glanced at the man standing next to her. "But you never made me feel comfortable!" She said to me suddenly. "Comfortable?!" "I'm embarrassed to say it anyway, you just can't do it anyway!" I saw the man standing next to her couldn't help but snicker, and I probably guessed what she meant. "That's what you mean!" I said to her. "Otherwise, what do you think?" "When I heard you say this, I really wanted to slap you. Wouldn't your conscience hurt if you lied?" I couldn't help but sneered, "I won't say how violent it was, but you know it very well!" "No comparison, no harm!" She glanced at the man next to her, "Anyway, I haven't been in contact with other men..." "Don't you blush when you lie now? Don't think I don't know..." I was about to say something, but she interrupted, "Your image..." "My image?" I touched my face, "Don't you like the way I look with a beard? You said it's sexy! Besides, even if I don't shave, as long as I'm not blind..." "You say I'm blind?" "Anyway, your aesthetics have dropped very low now!" "I admit that you are tall and handsome compared to him!" "You've got to be honest! You know I'm not even remotely handsome compared to that loser!" "But so what? You can't make a living if you're handsome!" "Once a man has no money, all his so-called advantages turn into disadvantages..." I couldn't help but sigh a few times, "So you are determined to go with him today, right?" "You know me, I want to eat well, wear well..." She became serious, "Look at how bad you are now that you can't even take out five yuan in your pocket, you must not be able to support me..." "I'm hiding in the car, holding champagne in my hand..." I don't know what I'm humming, "You must think it's a rat!" "A rat?!" The man suddenly said, "So every time we..." "Yes, I'm hiding under the bed!" "No wonder I feel so nervous in this room... It turns out you are crying secretly!" "They say men don't shed tears lightly. Do you think I'm jealous of you when I cry?" I rolled my eyes at him, "You're overthinking, I'll be honest, you're the only one..." "Brother, I..." The man wanted to explain, but Wang Yao hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "If he really can't do it, then we can be sisters in the future..." "Sister... Sister?!" After hearing her shocking remarks, I almost spit out my lunch meal. It is said that men are most afraid of others saying that they are not good enough, especially the woman next to them. I don't know how the man standing next to her feels. "Can you bear this?" I said to the man with some ill intentions. "I..." The man didn't know what to say, but Wang Yao seemed extremely excited. "You're already dozens of years old!" She stared at me with wide eyes, "Why are you still so naive!" "Am I naive?!" "Don't you understand now?" "What do you understand?" "A rich man hides all his ugliness! A man who has no money is nothing... Don't you understand such a simple truth?" She then touched the man's cheek with her hand, "Although he is old and ugly, he is rich enough!" "Can money really buy everything?" "Anyway, I can't live without money!" "I always thought there was a true relationship between us..." "But love without money is worthless!" "Money, money, money... Why are you thinking about money now?" I suddenly felt a pain in my head. Why didn't I realize that she was such a person before? Now I really regret it. "Firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea..." She said confidently, "What can you do for free now?" "But you weren't like this before!" "Then you weren't a coward before either..." ...
