Skynet Architect

Chapter 32: Old Wang's House Next Door

When Loulan continued to be built, the outside world still knew nothing about this mysterious place. Almost no one knew that a city had risen from the ground, but there were advertisements for Skynet in every city, and there were even several advertisements on it. Times news.

But the voice is good, but no one comes. Every night at 8:30, during the prime time, there are always advertisements from Loulan City. In the pictures, it seems that a new city has risen, and a new city is about to be built. stand up.

In the advertisement, the four huge totem pole-like platforms like hills, and the super hotel that stands up to the sky, seem to tell others that there is a city here, but for ordinary people, it is the world outside the sky, look at the excitement Enough. Who is really going? That's the desert.

In an ordinary small building in Ningxiang Town, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, an advertisement for Loulan City is being broadcast on TV. In the advertisement, it is very popular recently. Let’s fly. The whole team shoots advertisements for Loulan City for free.

The seven men and women seemed to be traveling in the city, and then Brother Chao suddenly said to a few group members around him: "I want to move to Loulan. It's great here!"

Then the ad ends and the TV series continues.

This seems to be a very ordinary scene. In a room on the 6th floor of this ordinary small building, a man is hanging a cigarette and looking at the advertisement above, but he is obviously absent-minded. The hair on his head is already covered with sweat, his face He was also very lethargic on the table, and beside him, a child about seventeen or eighteen years old was covering his head in distress, lying on the table.

Beside her was a gentle woman, but she didn't look very good-looking. It was obvious that she had been slapped by someone on her face, and her arms were also bruised and purple.

The man was smoking a cigarette and his mind was not on the TV. The TV show was a time-travel drama of the Qing Dynasty, which was very bitter and funny, but these two men and women in their forties had a bitter face.

"Xiaofang, let's move out. Leave Ningxiang Town, go to a big city to work, go to the north to do business, whatever you want, don't be pestered by that man here anymore." Man = persuasion hard.

The woman named Xiaofang had tears in her eyes: "Brother Wang, if you hadn't taken care of me all these years, I would have been beaten to death by that guy, and now we are also divorced, Xiaojun was sentenced to me, but that guy He is always pestering, and he is a bastard, I am afraid that he will really kill you. Now that you say so, we orphans and widows will follow you."

The old Wang who was sitting had a bitter face. He really wanted to take the mother and daughter out of here, but where did he go? Here he still has a small supermarket to make ends meet, but he has no capital to survive in other places.

"Well, what should we eat and drink when we go out? Xiaojun also failed the college entrance examination, and he didn't pass the college entrance examination. He should go out to work, but what are we doing?" He really had no good idea.

He is not the kind of person who can make a living by himself, he is just an honest and friendly supermarket owner in a small town, holding a small store at home, opening a supermarket, and guaranteeing his life.

The women were also taciturn. They all grew up in Ningxiang and never left the city.

Xiaofang thought about it for a long time, and finally said with a sad face: "No, let's separate. Xiaojun and I live on our own, and we can't drag you down. I'm already embarrassed enough to have you beaten so many times over the years."

Lao Wang shook his head: "I like you, you have known this since you were in school, now you are the most difficult time, how can I let go."

"As for what we should do, we must leave this place of Ningxiang, otherwise other people's eyes won't be tolerated. I don't know how many people spread gossip. Xiaojun is always bullied by those boys." The two looked at the troubled man next to him. Xiao Jun, who failed the exam, was silent.

At this time, an advertisement suddenly appeared on the TV again.

This is normal, after all, prime time is advertising time now.

Commercials inserted into TV shows fall into the eyes of money.

But this time it came out,

It's not really a promotional product.

"New Loulan City, the pearl in the desert, Skynet Corporation sincerely builds a new city, which belongs to China's Las Vegas. You are welcome to move here. This city has the largest housing subsidy in the country, and a full set of supporting facilities..." Suddenly interrupted The advertisement lasted for more than a minute, and briefly introduced the city.

This is the first time that people know that this Loulan city is not only a tourist city as it was said before, but also a gambling city.

Las Vegas is a city that never sleeps, generating countless profits.

I don't know how many people will have red eyes today, and then the fighting spirit that was polished by time will disappear like this. I don't know how many people came to Loulan City on impulse and wanted to settle down.

But now, Wang Bingren, who could have spent his whole life guarding his small supermarket, this real old next-door king broke out.

He patted his thigh.

"Xiaofang, let's go to this city. It happens that there is no one we know. We start a new life. We will get the certificate tomorrow. Then I will sell the house and the supermarket. Let's move." The only decision in Wang Bingren's life, the only The first time I didn't procrastinate, I just took a photo of my leg in an advertisement, and it was a decision.

In this ordinary family, Wang Bingren and Xiaofang were originally classmates and friends back then, but they did not get together due to various reasons, and Xiaofang married another man.

A very clichéd story, the man had the habit of drinking, gambling, and beating his wife until a few years ago, when he was imprisoned for fighting. During this period, Wang Bingren helped Xiaofang countless times. The loser's family couldn't get rid of the pot, and it was Wang Bingren's subsidy that kept the family from starving to death.

And after the man went to prison, the heat between Wang Bingren and Xiaofang rose again, until some time ago, when the man came back, he heard some bad rumors, sent Xiaofang to the hospital, and the two In such an environment, Xiaofang, who was nearly forty years old, gritted her teeth and finally filed a lawsuit with that man and divorced.

The court ruled that the child Xiaojun belonged to Xiaofang, and the property was divided in half. The matter seemed to end like this... However, the man was unwilling after all, and kept harassing this struggling half of the family. Make this small family difficult to maintain.

Today, Wang Bingren, an honest man all his life, finally broke out. On the second day, he took Xiaofang to register and get the certificate. Within a week, he sold all the fixed assets at a low price. With bank cards, marriage certificates and other documents, Lead Xiaofang and Xiaojun on the plane to the Western Regions.

They know that after the plane lands, they have to transfer to the car and sit for a long time, but their hearts... are wandering back and forth between freedom and apprehension.

Not only the longing for this city and the future life, but also a little fear of the unknown life in the future.

After all, they can be said to have come to this city with all their possessions, what if they are a liar? The honest Wang Bingren didn't even go to this city in advance to find out what the environment and what it looks like here.
