Go back to ancient times to engage in sideline business

There seemed to be a flame burning in Tang Zhong's chest, and everything here made him uneasy.

He wanted to escape, escape from the hospital, escape from this weird world.

No matter what he didn't care about, he walked forward with a dull head, wandering aimlessly in the streets and alleys of the city.

The memory in his body constantly reminded him of the rules of life in this world as the scene in front of him changed:

Stop at a red light and go at a green light, cross the road with a zebra crossing, and it is forbidden to climb over the guardrail at will... A series of strange messages flashed through his mind, disturbing his mind and making him restless.

In Tang Zhongben's heart, he still stays in the ancient self-awareness, but he is like a mountain beast trapped in a cage, imprisoned in the rules and regulations of the modern city, trying his best to escape this grotesque world and return to his own territory.

While waiting for the red light, he stood in the safety island in the middle of the street, looked at the endless stream of vehicles around him, slowly raised his head, and looked at the only four corners of the sky above his head from the skyscraper fence built by tall buildings.

Never have I been so helpless as now.

Once, he worked as an errand at the East City Gate. Although he was not seen by Hu Shouzheng, and even though he was isolated by other city gate guards, he still believed that as long as he did his job well, one day, he would see people's hearts for a long time, and they would end up together. Will accept myself.

Although those days were hard, there was still hope.Whenever he thinks of his grandmother and three younger siblings at home, he feels that as long as he bears it, he can continue to hold on.

But now, looking around in a daze, I am out of tune with everything around me.

Tang Zhong was like a lost horse that had strayed into the vast and boundless desert by mistake.There are no aquatic plants around, no horses he is familiar with, and there is no way to return to the past grassland.

He felt deeply bewildered and powerless.

I don't know how long it took, Tang Zhong just kept wandering like this.It wasn't until the tiredness under his feet slowed down his pace a little bit that the intense emotion in his chest finally dissipated.

The sound of Taotao water could be heard faintly, and only then did he notice that the scenery in front of him was different from just now.

Walking out of the high-rise commercial center of the city, and passing by countless office buildings and residential areas, the sky finally brightened, and it suddenly became clear.

Suddenly, Tang Zhong had unknowingly come to the riverside.

On the sign in front of it is written: "Qingjiang Riverside Park" in simple but recognizable fonts.

Qingjiang?The river in front of me is actually Qingjiang!

Like a ray of light projected from his past hometown, Tang Zhong quickly walked across the street and walked towards the fence facing the river.

In front of you, the long river with turbulent blue waves meanders, like a soft silk handkerchief, gently laying in the middle of the city, separating the old and new urban areas.

The location where Tang Zhong was standing belonged to the new city, and across the river was the old city where the rented house was located.

The Qingjiang River flows from the north and turns a [-]-degree bend when passing through the city, leaving a vast river beach for the old city opposite, and then rushes eastward.

Looking from Tang Zhong's perspective, he could just see the whole picture of the old city clearly.

In a trance, he vaguely felt how similar the opposite city was to his hometown Qingjiang County.

Similar river trends, similar wide river beaches, and even similar urban layouts.

How many Qingjiang Rivers are there in this world?

Could it be that this is Qingjiang County thousands of years later?

As the river wind blows, an indescribable familiarity and a sense of vicissitudes of life and death come to my heart.

The next moment, a new thought flashed through his mind, making him tremble uncontrollably.

Is it possible that I have passed away in the former world, and my soul travels to the old place thousands of years later, but it is difficult to return?

Yes, the river is rolling, and the dead are like this, how can it be reversed?

In an instant, a strong sense of loss struck him, and he didn't know how to face it.

Coincidentally, at the same time that Tang Chong was feeling troubled, there was a frustrated man standing beside him ten meters away by the river.

The middle-aged man looked haggard and stared at the river in a daze.But the difference is that his body has already stood outside the guardrail, the soles of his feet are half hanging on the edge of the brick, and he is holding the railing behind his back with both hands.

It was a weekday morning, and there were not many people walking along the river, and no one had time to take a second look at the pedestrians and vehicles passing by on the street.

Only the sound of "bang" falling into the water was heard, and huge water splashed up, and the disheartened middle-aged man jumped into the river.

Tang Zhong's thoughts were suddenly interrupted. Following the sound, he saw the people in the water were up and down with the waves, struggling desperately.

It's important to save lives!

Almost without time to think, Tang Zhong's kind and honest nature has already driven Tang Zhong to climb over the guardrail and jump towards the man.

The cold river water suddenly invaded his whole body, making his jaw tremble uncontrollably, but he ignored it and paddled forward vigorously.

It may be the moment of dying, which stimulates the deepest desire to survive in people's hearts.

As soon as the man fell into the water, he felt that half of his foot had stepped into the gate of hell, but he couldn't help struggling back and forth, and immediately regretted that he wanted to die.

He was bouncing up and down in the water, his face was full of panic, he didn't know how much water he had choked, and he kept yelling in broken words: "Save! Save! Me! Save me!"

At the critical moment of life and death, when the middle-aged man saw Tang Zhongyou approaching, he immediately grabbed Tang Zhong with both hands as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Don't be afraid, don't move around."

Fortunately, Tang Zhong knew the key to saving people in the water, so he didn't panic at this time, but went around behind the man again, supported the man's head and neck, let him relax and float on the water, and then swam towards the shore with all his might.

Before entering the water, Tang Zhong's body was already very tired, and the current of the Qingjiang River was very fast. When they swam back to the shore again, the two of them had already been washed from the riverside park to the downstream river beach.

On the shore, two fishing uncles are pulling rods.

After a busy morning, there were many small fish, and now I finally caught a big one.

Uncle Liu happily took out his mobile phone, asked the fishing friends to hold the net bag to show off the newly caught big carp, and took a short video to show off.

"Hey! Let me show you guys, a big fish has been caught in the Qingjiang River! It's about 8 catties, and it's a big red-tailed carp! Those who like fishing, remember to pay attention!"

As he spoke, Uncle Liu slowly took the phone away, ready to switch from a close-up shot to a full view.

Suddenly, two black shadows appeared on the river beach in front of the camera, and it turned out that someone got up from the river!

The man's sixth sense told Uncle Liu that if this picture was captured, the number of clicks would definitely be higher than that of him catching a big carp.

"I see no veterans, two people came out of the river, let's go over and ask!"

The camera shakes with the steps, and gets closer step by step.

There were two people sitting face down on the river beach, the young one was panting from exhaustion.The middle-aged man nearby seemed to have choked on water and was coughing uncontrollably.

The camera flashed, and the middle-aged man's face was directly slapped. Uncle Liu's voice-over sounded: "What's going on? How did you two climb up from the river?"

The middle-aged man coughed violently again, and finally recovered his breath. He apologized and said gratefully: "I can't think about it for a while, it's him, he saved me!"

The camera turned again and focused on the young man's face. He clearly felt the phone shaking, and even the tone of the voice-over was raised a lot: "Tang Zhong! Why are you! You have done what is right!"

The young man in the camera looked over quietly, his tight jaw line was sharp, and his slightly sad eyebrows and eyes were like smoke.

His pale lips were slightly parted from the cold, he looked at the camera with some hesitation, and said indifferently: "It's not worth mentioning..."

Then the screen went black and the video stopped abruptly.

"Oh... the little brother who saved people, his voice is so gentle!"

"Yeah! He's handsome, kind-hearted, and very low-key, I like it!"

As the sky gradually darkened, on the bus, two girls who had just got off work had just sat down, and they took out their mobile phones at the same time, discussing the video that was eagerly reposted by the local media this afternoon.

Enthusiastic citizens act bravely for justice, which is a rare piece of positive social news. After Uncle Liu’s video was filmed, when the clever media reprinted it, they took a more gimmicky title: "The handsome guy with the side face rescues people in a thrilling way, the uncle threw himself into the river in winter, the inside story It was..."

And the cover of the news was Tang Chongsheng's profile in good shape.

But in one afternoon, the video, which was less than 5 minutes long, rang out in almost every corner of the city.Even people who don't play short videos have seen Tang Zhong's respect on the local evening news.

At this time, Tang Zhong hadn't realized that he had become a new celebrity in this city, and there were countless girl fans and aunt fans who affectionately called him in the video: Tang Bao.

It seems that there is God's will in the dark, after Tang Zhong got up from the water, he met the landlord Uncle Liu who was fishing by the river.

After recording the video, worried that the two of them would get sick wearing wet clothes, Uncle Liu and his fishing friend each took charge of one, and took the two back home in a small three-wheeler.

After returning to the rental house to change his clothes, Tang Zhong was called down again by Uncle Liu, drank a bowl of hot fish soup, and was stuffed with a few packs of cold granules before leaving.

The sky is getting darker and darker, but the city below is getting busier.

Standing on the roof of the building, Tang Zhong watched the lights lit up everywhere in the city, even the crowded main road was illuminated by the long queue of car lights.That way, it was even brighter than the Lantern Festival in my hometown.

Even though the memory of his body reminded him that those high-rise lights and cars passing through the street are all very common things in this world.But seeing it in person now, he still feels extremely shocked, unimaginable.

Looking at the atrium of the community downstairs, people who got off work came back one after another and hurried home, Tang Zhong couldn't help feeling sour.

I don't know if the grandmother's condition has improved after he left?Three younger brothers and sisters, do you have enough to eat every day?

While in a trance, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor behind him.

Tang Zhong turned his head, and before he saw anyone coming, he heard Aunt Hu's loud voice: "I also searched for it all afternoon, but I didn't expect that he was going to do good deeds! Oh, people are on top!"

Afterwards, a group of men and women came out from the stairs, but none of them were familiar to Tang Zhong.

The girl at the beginning didn't breathe evenly, so she walked over quickly, took out her work card, and introduced herself fluently: "Hello, Mr. Tang, I'm a reporter from Qingning TV Station, I can spare you a few minutes, and I can make a brief interview?"
