Rebirth: The Million-dollar Lottery Hit Me

Between the apartment and Zhang Chen’s home, there is a not very high mountain, which the locals call Bazi Mountain.

There is a cave on the mountain, which is warm in winter and cool in summer.

In the summer, many people come here to escape the heat, so the local government built this place.

The roads on the mountain are all cement plank roads, which are easy to walk on.

There is also a temple at the main entrance of the mountain, and next to the temple there are two very large ginkgo trees.

Many local elderly people do morning exercises and burn incense and worship Buddha here.

There is a hotel next to the mountain, where you can stay and eat, and there is also a roller skating rink behind it.

So many people come here to play during holidays.

But usually, only some old people or people with nothing to do come here for a walk.

"Then I'll park the car here first. The car can't drive up the mountain."

Chen Qiong parked the car next to the stairs below the temple.

Although there is a road on the mountain, it is only for pedestrians and cars cannot go up. You can only ride to the roller skating rink and the hotel.

So it’s better to walk to find people.

After parking the car, Chen Qiong and her daughter went up the mountain.

"It's so cold on the mountain right now. Zhang Chen wouldn't be so stupid. Did he really stay on the mountain for a whole night?"

Although the fog had begun to dissipate, it was still chilly. If Zhang Chen had really hidden in the mountains for a night, he would definitely be confused by now.

"Let's look for him. Otherwise, I really don't know where to find him."

Zhang Chen was still an elementary school student, and she was already a high school student. Although they sometimes played together, she actually didn't know him that well.

The only thing I know is that every time I ask him where he wants to go, he chooses this place.

Sometimes there are still a lot of small vendors here, some selling toys and food, so she often treats him to snacks.

He should like this place very much.

"Let's split up. You look for the mountain, and I'll look for the place where we usually play. We'll call when we have news."

"Okay, be careful."

So, Chen Qiong started looking for people on the mountain, and Wang Li started looking for people elsewhere.

Although there is a road on the mountain, if you want to find someone, you still have to walk some mountain roads.

Wang Li came to live in the city when she was a child and was not very good at walking on mountain roads, so the only one who could go up the mountain to find someone was Chen Qiong.

"Zhang Chen~, where are you!"

Wang Li kept shouting and searching, hoping that Zhang Chen could hear her and come out.

But this guy is still very smart, I just don’t know where he is hiding.

She has already reached the hotel.

When I looked up, I suddenly saw that the boiler room in the hotel was emitting steam.

If he really hid in Bazi Mountain and wanted to spend a night comfortably, he would have to hide in the boiler room.

Because there is only a boiler room in the hotel, and since guests always need hot water, the stove that boils water will not be stopped.

Wang Li suddenly had a flash of inspiration and had a very strong premonition that this guy should be in the pot room.

Because the hotel management is not very strict, anyone can enter.

Wang Li went straight to the boiler room.

The premonition in her heart was so strong that her steps seemed to be very hurried.

The boiler room is in the backyard on the left side of the hotel.

It's a mess in there.

Because this is a place where not many guests come, there are a lot of old things piled up here, including a lot of tarpaulins.

She looked around and finally saw a foot in a small corner of the boiler room where firewood and tarpaulin were piled.

This corner is very clever because if someone burns wood, they will not get firewood from here. This corner is a little far from the boiler stove, but it is very warm.

When the tarpaulin was lifted, it was Zhang Chen who was sleeping on the firewood.

He is still sleeping soundly now, but his face is covered with bruises and purple marks, probably the work of his second brother last night.

Even though he was soundly asleep, his body was still twitching from time to time. I guess the child was really scared last night, and he didn't seem to be very restful even when he was sleeping.

"Zhang Chen~Zhang Chen~Get up, go to your aunt's house and have a sleep."

Zhang Chen felt someone shaking him and suddenly woke up. When he looked closely, he found that it was his aunt.

The sadness and fear I felt last night suddenly burst out when I saw my aunt.

He hugged his aunt, tears streaming down his face, and cried loudly: "I won't go home, I won't go home again~"

He was really feeling aggrieved. Not only did his parents forget to leave him dinner last night, they also didn't leave him any money. So he cooked rice in the rice cooker by himself, then scooped some pickled cabbage from the jar to eat with the rice, and then went to bed.

Who would have thought that after my father came home drunk, he would start to act crazy for no reason, drag himself off the bed and beat me up.

I was completely stunned and had no idea what to do.

By then, seeing his father getting more and more crazy, he was very scared, so he grabbed a coat and ran out.

It was dark and cold outside, but he didn't think about going home because he felt it was even scarier at home!

Fortunately, when I was playing with my aunt, I found a boiler here.

It provides a warm place for yourself on cold nights, otherwise you really don’t know where to go.

"Are you hungry, kid? If you want to run, just run to my house. If you run outside, what if you get kidnapped?"

"It's too late at night. It's not good."

"Humph, you know it's not good now. It would be bad if you were kidnapped! Here, these are the buns your aunt bought this morning. I put them in my arms. They're still hot. Eat them quickly."

Looking at Zhang Chen wolfing down the dumplings she gave him, she felt sorry for the child. How could he have met his second brother and sister?

It's like the mom is not like a mom, and the dad is not like a dad!

Looking at the bruises on Zhang Chen's face, you can tell that the second brother didn't care at all when he beat him, that this was a child, and his son.

She took out her cell phone and called her mother, telling her that Zhang Chen had been found and asked her mother to ride a scooter to the hotel to pick them up.

Because although Zhang Chen was wearing long underwear and long trousers, he was only wearing a long coat and a pair of slippers.

You can't go out with this equipment on, or your heels might get frostbite in a short while.

After a while, Chen Qiong came over.

At this moment, Zhang Chen had also finished eating the bun in his hand.

"Okay, let's go back to my aunt's house now. Those two bastards still haven't called the police. We didn't tell them that we found you. Let them find you on their own.

I'm going crazy after having a good life day by day!"

In fact, when my second brother and second sister first came, they were very hardworking and not so unreliable.

But I didn't expect that after making money, I would only care about living a good life.

My second sister only bought cosmetics and other things, which was not too outrageous, but my second brother started drinking, smoking, and playing cards.

The two started arguing, and then it became like this.

In the end, the only ones who suffered were the children.

It happened that Wang Li and Chen Qiong were both wearing scarves, so Chen Qiong used Wang Li's scarf to wrap it around Zhang Chen's head, leaving his eyes exposed.

Then she wrapped her scarf around Zhang Chen's sockless feet.

It's very cold when you go out of the boiler room, so you still need to take such warming measures.

He carried Zhang Chen on his back and put him on the front of the scooter, and then the three of them went home.

Zhang Chen, who was embraced by his aunt's warm embrace, also shed tears at this moment.

"When we get back later, I'll give you a hot bath first, and then you can rest and sleep. Don't worry about your parents. Wait for them to look for you. If you lost someone, you have to look for them yourself.

He doesn't do his work every day and starts to act crazy when he drinks. He is really not a good person!

You can spend the New Year at my house this year. I will call your grandfather later and tell him to go and scold the girl himself. Anyway, I can't do anything about these two people.

I just do some inexplicable things every day."

Chen Qiong became angrier as he spoke.

I have so many relatives working outside, but none of them is so unreliable. It's really shameful.

When they got home, Li Qi had already boiled the water and found a set of his brother's childhood clothes.

Fortunately, Chen Qiong sometimes couldn't bear to throw away her better clothes, otherwise I really wouldn't know where to find clothes for Zhang Chen to change.

Li Qi also thoughtfully prepared a camp bed and made it up. When Zhang Chen finished taking a shower and drying his hair, he could rest right away!
