The years I was a birdman

Chapter 242 The Eve of the Duel

Zhang Shifei was holding the bottle of beer with his right hand, and his hand was holding the neck of the bottle.

With a smile on his face, he said to Mr. Cui, "Look at it."

After finishing speaking, he put his thumb on the bottle cap, and frowned slightly. Mr. Cui only felt a trace of blue smoke coming out of this right and wrong hand, and then he flicked his thumb upwards. , With a bang, the bottle cap of the wine bottle flew straight up.

Mr. Cui saw that the right and wrong can still exert such power out of a human body, he couldn't help smiling, and at the same time thought to himself, I'm afraid, this kid hasn't realized that he is no longer an ordinary person.

Just kidding, can ordinary people flick bottle caps with their thumbs?

The bottle cap was blown off, and the beer foam gushed out. Zhang Shifei lifted the bottle of wine, gulped down half the bottle, then wiped his lips, and said with emotion: "It's so fucking cool, it's not in vain. These ten days of inhuman abuse."

Yi Xinxing heard what he said, and asked him: "Hey, what abuse did you receive, let's talk about it."

Zhang Shifei smiled wryly, then waved his hand at Yi Xinxing, and said, "I'm in tears after talking too much, stop talking, come, let's have a drink!"

He didn't say it, it must be because he didn't want to mention it again, everyone is not without eyes, so he didn't ask any more. Throw the stuff into the plate and let them become familiar. Everyone seems to be having a good time tonight, so Mr. Cui spoke up. He said to everyone, after all, it is the eve of the decisive battle, so make a fuss if you can. , don't leave any regrets, come on, let's do it!

It's regrettable enough for you to say that, Zhang Shifei smiled bitterly, and at the same time looked at Mr. Cui and thought in his heart, from what you said, it looks like our brothers are about to be shot collectively.

But he didn't question this sentence either. In the final analysis, none of us can discover the appearance of the future, so he didn't hesitate any longer, and was the first to raise the beer bottle in his hand.

It’s a man’s way to drink directly from a bottle instead of a cup, although there is a drawback to drinking this way, for example, Yi Xinxing just opened the beer. , which choked him.

Although it's late, everyone still doesn't care. If you want to talk about drinking, you have to find something to talk about. When ordinary men get together, they are nothing more than discussing some women's affairs. , but when ordinary women are together, they still discuss some women's affairs and spread gossip.

Women, it is really an enduring topic on the wine table, but this night, the four people at the wine table did not talk about women. After two or three bottles of beer, they did not know who brought it up, but they actually said to each other He recalled his own life experience.

Zhang Shifei was wandering in his thoughts at that time, and recently his symptoms have become more and more serious. Sometimes he can think about everything he sees for a long time, and he himself doesn't know why.

When he came back to his senses, he heard that Mr. Cui said to Cai Handong: "Dongzi, the TV station is quite easy to mess with."

Cai Handong smiled helplessly, and then said to Mr. Cui, "No, that's all."

"How can it be just like that?" Yi Xinxing said to him, spitting, "It's so beautiful to be a reporter. To be honest, is it true that when you make unannounced visits, those wealthy and black bosses will give you everything?" Your red envelope for hush money?"

Cai Handong shook his head, and then said to Yi Xinxing, "No, ah, yes."

Do you have it?Yi Xinxing asked a little dumbfounded.

"Yes, but it's not mine." Cai Handong sighed, then took a sip of wine, and said, "Actually, it's really aggrieved to do my job, the water is too deep, of course there is a hush money, But most of it is not mine, and I get very little, and... after I have this eye, I dare not even take this little extra money, for fear of retribution."

Mr. Cui looked at him, seeming to agree with his words, only to see that Cai Handong said: "To be honest, I would have resigned a long time ago, not because I can cover you in some channel now."

"Why?" Zhang Shifei asked.

Then Cai Handong sighed, and then replied: "It's too detrimental. In today's society, it's not like you don't know. How many of the things that the TV station said are true? Sometimes, some things are returned to him. Isn't it better to advertise?" The ingredients are real."

When Mr. Cui heard what he said, he smiled, and then he said: "You are quite right. If you want to talk about some news, it is really not as good as the advertisements of serious manufacturers, but it is a bit like those in the street. It’s the same as the aphrodisiac medicine sold online, it will become bigger with one touch, and it will be fake if you have a discerning eye, but some people still believe it.”

"For example, people all over the country welcome the rise in oil prices?" After listening to Mr. Cui's words, Yi Xinxing laughed and said, "How many unknown extras can be saved by a fake news."

Damn, they were really humorous, Zhang Shifei smiled awkwardly, but this time, Cai Handong didn't smile, and he said helplessly to the three of them: "In the final analysis, there is a gap between ideal and reality. The gap is really too big."

Cai Handong seems to be drinking a little too much. His small amount of alcohol is not enough by itself, but he can drink surprisingly tonight. Mr. Cui and the others are fast drinkers. A bottle of beer can be touched three times at most, as if they don’t need money. After a few laps, Cai Handong couldn't hold back anymore, his cheeks were slightly red, and the eyes behind his eyes were bloodshot, as if it had been like this for the past few days, it looked like pink eye disease.

Cai Handong's tongue also straightened up, and he used his alcohol to tell the story of his past.

Cai Handong Cai Handong, as the name suggests, he was born in winter, he is weak and sick when he is free, his family background is neither poor nor rich, his studies are neither good nor bad, his parents are neither close nor fight, and he has walked all the way in such a tepid way since he was a child, maybe Many people are so ordinary, Cai Handong said, but he doesn't want to be so ordinary.

Everyone had a dream when they were young, and everyone has written the composition of my dream. However, after a few years, when people think of this dream again, most of them will smile helplessly, because people at this time You will find that it turns out that dreams are as far away from us as we are when we are children or when we grow up.

Cai Handong's dream is to be a reporter. He has loved watching TV since he was a child. When he saw those reporters helping others on TV, he was full of admiration for this profession. With a bit of stubbornness.

Things that are settled will not be easily changed, so Cai Handong has been working hard according to the belief in his heart. Junior high school, high school, high school, and university finally let him wait for this opportunity to realize his dream.

Hearing what he said, Mr. Cui Yi Xinxing couldn't help but let out a helpless smile, and Yi Xinxing sighed: "It's unexpected that you can persist, which is something few people can do, just like me, when I was young My dream is to be an inventor, but in reality...Damn, the things I research are just the opposite of science! By the way, old Cui, what is your dream?"

Mr. Cui took a sip of wine, and then said lightly: "Too many, painter, poet, big boss, ****..."

"Hurry up and stop." Yi Xinxing took a sip, then raised a steel middle finger to Mr. Cui, and said, "I don't have a normal type, forget it, I won't ask you, Xiao Zhang, your childhood dream Woolen cloth?"

Zhang Shifei thought about it. When he was young, he really didn't have any dreams. The only dream was to grow up quickly, because when he grew up, he could justifiably eat and wait to die.

So he shook his head and said to Yi Xinxing: "I didn't before, but now I just want to rescue Lao Li, and then break the curse on me."

Yi Xinxing smiled when Zhang Shifei said this, then turned to Cai Handong and said, "I'm talking about Dongzi, logically speaking, you are the happiest of us. Why are you still not satisfied with your dreams?"

Cai Handong smiled bitterly, and then said to Yi Xinxing, "That's because the previous dreams had no trace of dirt, they were pure whiteness that existed in the heart, and reality was ugly compared to it."

Cai Handong said that when he entered the TV station full of joy, he was undoubtedly happy. After all, he can live for his own dreams, especially those leaders who taught him, young man, work must be down-to-earth, don't be overly emotional Anxious and deceitful.

But even though this is said, in fact it is another matter.

Cai Handong's purpose as a reporter is to help the ordinary people who should be helped, but the program he is in helps the big bosses who should not be helped.

Many taboos are only for building a harmonious society.

Cai Handong told everyone that when news has lost its credibility, it is no different from rumors, and even rumors can't catch up, and can only be called lies.

He was surprised at the beginning, but also very puzzled, why should this be?Can something maintained by lies really be solid?Those people who are on the camera are all smiling, because it is for the public to see, but the pain behind their backs, can they only admire themselves in the mirror?

Urban legend is a wonderful flower. Cai Handong sighed, and then continued to tell everyone that in this program, the importance of the truth is always ranked behind the ratings. Those who need help and are frightened for no reason will end up , all of them were dismissed as worthless by the two stupid B experts. Cai Handong smiled, and then said: "These experts are just like some people on the Internet now. They always think they know everything, but they always think they know everything. Ask childish questions."

"Isn't that what experts are all good at? Cao Dehuan, haha, in fact, Lao Cao has a very smooth tongue, no matter good or bad, he can say that people are crazy, okay, it's a piece of funny material." Mr. Cui smiled. laugh.

"Actually, what kind of expert is Cao Dehuan?" Cai Handong said to Mr. Cui: "When you mentioned cross talk, I remembered that this Professor Cao used to be a barefoot doctor. It seems that he worked in a rural health center for decades. The previous policy saved him, a typical [-]-year-old master who doesn’t know how to speculate, and now he is doing well.”

Cai Handong said with a wry smile, if he had to say, what touched him the most was an interview.

The construction of society cannot avoid demolishing the old and building the new, but this is where problems arise.

Under the entanglement of many interests, ordinary people often can't get what they deserve, even if the thing itself belongs to him, even if it is bought with his home.

Forced demolition, for some reason, when Cai Handong said these two words, Zhang Shifei suddenly frowned, and he remembered the old dog named Pippi again, but he changed his mind, Pippi's home is not a demolition, it's a damn thing, it was sold by the prodigal sons and daughters of Mr. Xu.

Speaking of this, Cai Handong's eyes were full of sadness again, and he murmured: "Maybe, this is my retribution."

It was a program, similar to Pippi's. Urban legends wanted to interview a haunted old house in other places. This was a call from a resident. Cai Handong asked to go there, just to get first-hand information. But when he got to that house, he realized that he had been cheated.

That family was a family of three. After seeing Cai Handong revealing his identity, he couldn't help but kneel down for him. Cai Handong was stunned at the time. Where had he seen such a formation?So he hurriedly lowered down to help them up, and said to them, what's the matter, if you have something to say, why do you want to do this?

It turned out that the family was a household that was about to be demolished. They had lived in this house for many years and had all the documents. It is impossible to buy an old building smaller than this house. If they move out, they are doomed to be homeless.

But if they don't move, they will face huge troubles. Those people have colluded with some unemployed people to come here all day long to find trouble. Their son was beaten by a gang of people when he was out of school yesterday. Moreover, Cai Handong discovered that, There is no glass in the windows of his house. It turned out that a group of people came and smashed them one night.

The head of the household, a very old man, cried to Cai Handong. He said, no one can help him, he can only help himself. He wants to expose this matter to the TV station. But after calling several times, when they heard about his family's situation, they all refused. After all, this is a sensitive word. The man wiped his nose, then continued to talk to Cai Handong, saying that he was forced There is no other way, because tomorrow is the ultimatum, those people will come with a forklift, and if they don’t move, they will force their homes to be demolished, so this man had to concentrate on his wits and call Cai Handong’s column, saying that his house Haunted.

The irony is that this time the TV station came, just because of this non-existent 'ghost' who can be regarded as a joke, and was finally regarded as a psychopath.

After the head of the household said this, he knelt down to Cai Handong again. He said to Cai Handong, "Little brother, please help me and record it for me. I don't ask much, as long as I can buy another one." Just set up a house, don't be in a hurry, no one wants to take this step, I have already thought about it, if it doesn't work, there is gasoline.

Uncle, don't be too hard on yourself, I'll help!Cai Handong is kind-hearted, and it is his dream to help people in need. Moreover, he is also very angry about this matter. The state owns the state law. Why do you break the law under the state law?

Could it be that if ordinary people want to keep their homes, they have to sacrifice their lives for it?
He agreed to the uncle, and the uncle was very grateful, so they made an appointment, Cai Handong came early the next day, put the camera in the purse, it was impossible to find it if you didn't pay attention, adjusted the angle, Just waiting for the actions of those people to be filmed.

After a while, a large group of people really came. Cai Handong looked out of the house, and he found that besides police cars, city management cars, and construction forklifts, ambulances also came. What?
A few people in uniform entered the house, and negotiated with the uncle in a very forceful voice. He would take tough measures if he didn't move away. Naturally, the uncle would not compromise. He quarreled with those people. Only then did Cai Handong find out How disgusting these well-dressed people are, their attitude is like those landlords who oppress farmers on TV.

Thinking back when Huang Shiren raped the white-haired girl, it was just this expression, Cai Handong thought, and he secretly recorded all of this.

On the tyrannical side, there are generally people who sing bad faces and good faces. Cai Handong noticed that there was a person with a very domineering attitude, who was always cursing when he spoke, and there was another person next to him, who put on a look of persuading a fight, but his words There are dark rooms inside and outside, so the uncle will leave early to save hardship.

The uncle, the head of the household, was finally forced to be anxious, and he also cursed, telling them to get out of his house, or else at his own risk.

Having said that, the uncle picked up the gasoline can that he had prepared earlier, and poured it on himself. However, he did not frighten those people away. They looked a little scared, but they backed away To the door, and then continue to speak dishonesty.

Cai Handong still hasn't forgotten their conversation at that time.

Uncle: "Can you go away! If you don't go away, I will order!"

Black-faced man: "What's wrong with you!?"

Uncle: "What are you talking about?"

Black-faced man: "If you have something to say, just talk about it, who are you scaring the whole scene?!"

Uncle: "........."

Black-faced man: "Hurry up and put it down, who do you think you can scare?"

Uncle: "I'm CNM!!!!"

The fire seemed to burn in Cai Handong's heart, it hurt a lot, and it made him very angry. In the end, everyone put out the fire. Fortunately, the uncle wore a lot of clothes, but only slightly burned. In the end, the uncle was carried into the ambulance Cai Handong clearly remembered the cries of the uncle's wife and children at the end, the indifference of the surrounding people, and all kinds of ugly faces. Clenching his fists, he looked at the uncle who was moved away, and the uncle's eyes also looked at him. At that moment, Cai Handong understood the uncle's mind, and begged, yes, at that moment, there was only pleading in his eyes.

Cai Handong quickly left the scene, and then returned to the work unit. He was ready to persuade his leader to broadcast this episode, but in the end, he was really scolded.

At the beginning, Cai Handong wanted to turn the tide and continue to fight, but his actions were like, "You don't look like you've done it, do you!" ? In front of him, the fire suddenly turned off.

"I really hate myself, why was I so stupid at the beginning." Cai Handong took off his eyes when he said this, tears fell down, and the eyes that were already bloodshot were even more red. Seeing him pouring wine into his stomach, he said to the three of them, "I hate that I was too cowardly at the time, and I didn't want my dreams from childhood to adulthood to end like this, so I didn't speak anymore. That video , just disappeared."

Cai Handong said that he was very uncomfortable at that time, so he wanted to do something, so the next day, he bought some fruit and went there again, wanting to say sorry to the family and would like to think about other things There was no way to help them, but when he got there, he was stunned.

Here, it is already in ruins.

"That night, I drank a lot of wine." Cai Handong said with a choked voice, "After drinking, I was still so depressed. It was that night that I had a car accident."

Cai Handong raised his hand and rubbed his eyes when he talked about this, and said with a wry smile: "I'll tell you what happened next, I lived in the hospital for a long time, during that time my outlook on life and All values ​​have changed, and for a while, I began to give up on myself, thinking that it would be fine, in fact, being a bad person is pretty good, at least I don’t have any troubles...Right or wrong, I’m sorry, I lied to you at that time, just because I was really messed up at the time. I don’t know what to do with myself.”

I was talking about why Xiaoshou had the courage to lie to himself in the hospital. Zhang Shifei sighed. Everyone has the time to give up on themselves. Everyone was extremely depressed. At this time, Mr. Cui said, "Forget it, don't think about it, maybe your eyes are not retribution, but God gave you a new tool to realize your dreams?"

"Maybe, that's it." Cai Handong smiled bitterly, and then said to Mr. Cui: "I have indeed saved many people with this eye, and at the same time, I have also seen through many things, that is, when dreams have already Without its original color, the existence of this dream is meaningless."

"You are right." Mr. Cui gave a thumbs up, and then said: "Actually, we are still living in our own dreams, including everyone, just talk about me, I used to be quite a painter, and I used to be a painter. It depicts patterns that make people warm, but now I only have symbols left, no difference, the purpose of symbols is to solve some dark things, the less darkness, the more light, and Lao Yi, a folk scientist, his invention must be some weight loss Tea or something is more useful, Xiao Zhang... Let alone, he is on the way to pursue it, and you, your eyes, are the best TV. Believe me, what you see is the real thing. "

The dream doesn't disappear, it just shines into everyone's reality in a different way.

"That's right!" After hearing Mr. Cui's words, the three of them were very excited, as if their childhood or current dreams were ignited again, burning, heating up, and boiling in their bodies through alcohol!
I saw that Yi Xinxing patted Cai Handong on the shoulder, then stood up, raised the wine bottle in his hand high, and said loudly: "Come on, friends, toast to our remaining dreams !!!”
