Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 828 Free

We run into obstacles everywhere under the pressure of reality, struggling forward in loneliness and anxiety, but can't find a harbor to dock. 3. The cruel game between ideals and reality Every adult has a beautiful ideal in his heart.

The door of the paper shop was ajar, and a scent of sandalwood wafted out from inside. Su Mingyuan pushed open the door, and it was filled with all kinds of paper people, paper horses and paper houses. The boss was a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses, sitting behind the counter, fiddling with a paper teacup. "You are here to ask about Fu Ji Tea Restaurant." The boss said without raising his head. Su Mingyuan was stunned: "How do you know?" The boss took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of empty eyes: "I can see things that I shouldn't see. Twenty years ago, the land where Fu Ji Tea Restaurant was located was a mass grave. Later, a tea restaurant was built, but there were always ghosts who refused to leave." Su Mingyuan took a breath of cold air: "Then...are those ghosts screaming for real?" The boss nodded: "Every night, those ghosts will come to the tea restaurant and order the food they loved to eat when they were alive. They have no ill intentions, they just want to taste the taste of the human world again." Su Mingyuan thought of the man in the long gown, and his heart was creepy. He asked about the eyes of the paper-making shop owner, who smiled bitterly and said, "When I was young, I didn't know much, and I had to pry into the secrets of the Yin and Yang worlds, and I was backfired." After leaving the paper-making shop, Su Mingyuan fell into deep thought. He decided to write this story, but he was worried that it would cause panic. After hesitating again and again, he still wrote an article titled "Mysterious Diners in Mong Kok Tea Restaurant", and hinted in the article that this might be a marketing trick. After the article was published, the business of Fu Kee Tea Restaurant not only did not get worse, but became more popular. Many people came here to see the so-called "ghost meal". Chen Funian was very grateful to Su Mingyuan and often invited him to the store for free meals. However, Su Mingyuan's nightmare had just begun. Since writing that article, he has dreamed of the man in the gown every night. The man stood by his bed and said in a hoarse voice: "You shouldn't tell our secrets..." One night, Su Mingyuan worked overtime at the newspaper until late. On the way home, he passed by Fu Kee Tea Restaurant again. For some reason, he stopped. Through the window, he saw the man in the gown sitting in the corner, waving at him. Su Mingyuan wanted to escape, but found that he could not move. He watched the man walk towards him, and with every step, the skin on his face peeled off, revealing the white bones inside... The next day, someone found Su Mingyuan's body at the door of Fu Kee Tea Restaurant. He had a horrified expression on his face, his eyes wide open, as if he had seen something terrible. In his hand, he was still holding a photo tightly - the photo showed the empty table he had taken in the tea restaurant, but under the table, a pair of feet in cloth shoes could be vaguely seen. Since then, there has been one more supernatural story in Mong Kok. Some people say that Su Mingyuan was taken away by the ghosts of the tea restaurant; others say that the owner of the paper shop poisoned him in order to keep the secret. And Fu Kee Tea Restaurant still welcomes some special "guests" every night, as for whether those guests are human or ghost, no one can tell.

The "awakening in the world" that was forwarded crazily in the circle of friends tells the helplessness of adults**At two o'clock in the morning, the office building was still brightly lit. 32-year-old Zhang Yu stared at the unfinished PPT on the computer screen and rubbed his sore eyes. The phone suddenly vibrated, and his mother sent a message: "Your father's physical examination report is out, and the doctor said he needs to be hospitalized for observation." He hung his finger on the screen and dared not reply. In the drawer was still the mortgage bill for last month. Such scenes may be repeated in the lives of countless adults. Those "awakening in the world" copywriting that was forwarded crazily in the circle of friends, every word and sentence is like a sharp scalpel, dissecting the helplessness of adults under the bright appearance. 996. The "survival game" pushed by the times In this era full of competition and pressure, adults seem to be in a never-ending "survival game". The rapid development of society has made "involution" a normal part of life. From the workplace to education, from material pursuits to spiritual satisfaction, every field is filled with tension. In the workplace, the work system is no longer a new topic, and has even gradually evolved into a default working mode. In order to keep their jobs and get promotion opportunities, countless people actively or passively join this "arms race" of overtime. They dare not take leave easily, dare not refuse additional work tasks, for fear that they will be labeled as "not hardworking" and "unmotivated" by accident. Just like Zhang Yu, even if his father was sick and hospitalized, he did not dare to take leave immediately, because the deadline of the project was imminent. Once delayed, it would not only affect the progress of the entire team, but also make him lose the opportunity for promotion. The internal circulation in the field of education is also suffocating. In order to prevent their children from losing at the starting line, parents spend a lot of time and money to sign up their children for various interest classes and cram schools. From English enlightenment in early childhood, to the Mathematical Olympiad in elementary school, to the sprint for admission to middle school, children's lives are filled with various learning tasks, and they have lost the joy that should belong to childhood. Parents are also exhausted in this "arms race" of education. They have to bear financial pressure and face anxiety and self-blame when their children's grades are not ideal. The continuous escalation of material pursuits has also plunged adults into an endless consumption carnival. On social media, photos of various luxury goods, high-end electronic products, and Internet celebrity check-in spots are overwhelming, stimulating people's desire to consume. In order to satisfy their vanity, many people do not hesitate to overdraw their credit cards, take on debts, and buy goods beyond their financial ability. They think that with these material wealth, they can gain recognition and respect from others, but they have unknowingly become slaves to material things. In this "survival game", adults are like clockwork machines, running non-stop, and dare not slack off.

Driven by anxiety, many people suffer from psychological problems such as insomnia and depression, but they choose to bear it alone and are unwilling to confide in others because they are afraid of being seen as "fragile" and "hypocritical" by others. We once thought that we could realize our dreams and live a free life when we grow up. However, when we really become adults, we find that life is far from as beautiful as we imagined.
