The sun is scorching, and this summer seems to be hotter than usual.The streets and alleys are busy with people coming and going.The weather is getting hotter and hotter, people wear less and less, and there are groups of people waiting to see beautiful women on the roadside.

Huo Hai, a young man who should have been just like them, was in the hot summer, but his heart felt cold.

"Is there anyone as unlucky as me?" Huo Hai said to himself. He no longer cared about everything around him.The ambitions I had had since graduation have completely disappeared along with the sarcastic remarks from the employers I applied for, leaving only indifference and exhaustion.

Every night, my heart is always full of confusion. I don't know where my future path is, and I don't know what I should do.Every day, every moment, Huo Hai feels like a zombie.It's really unfair that such a thing happened to me.Huo Hai was not a blaming person, but he also complained.

As the saying goes, good people don't live long and evil people live for thousands of years. I remember it was because of this saying.Huo Hai's grandfather gave Huo Hai such a name.Homophones for disaster, only in this way can we gain long-term prosperity and great wealth.

Huo Hai's father had different ideas from his grandfather. Huo Hai was taught that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evil.This sentence has deceived Huo Hai for more than 20 years.Being a good person is never that easy.

Looking back at the beginning, I simply didn't pick up things on the road. When I saw an old lady crossing the road, I helped her.When you see rubbish on the ground, pick it up yourself.I don’t have the opportunity to do big good deeds. I don’t know how many good deeds and good deeds I can do.Calculating it this way, I should have accumulated a lot of yin virtues, and my life should be better.

Of course, now, for some reasons, he no longer dares to help the old lady.However, he still always offers his seat to the elderly when getting on the bus.No matter who it is, everyone praises Huo Hai as a good person when they meet.

But where are the good rewards for good people? Is this what happened to me?If it's just that it's hard to find a job after entering society, that's it.This is nothing, no one can be appreciated by others at the beginning.

There is no job, but at least there is psychological comfort.He has been with his girlfriend since high school and spent all the money he earned from doing part-time jobs on her.Sometimes I have to eat instant noodles for several days.This is already very worthy of her. He can't ask his family for money at this time. He is not so thick-skinned.

But what did he get?Last night, my girlfriend of six years proposed to break up with me.

Looking back, Huo Hai still feels light all over."Haha, I'm a good person, but we're not suitable. Asshole, we're not suitable. How could you and that old guy be suitable?" Huo Hai's heart felt as if it had been put into an ice cellar.

Yesterday, his girlfriend proposed breaking up, and Huo Hai thought she was just joking because she was dissatisfied.Today, Cruel took out all the remaining money and bought a ring, intending to give it to her to please her.But he saw something.The girlfriend who just broke up with her yesterday fell into the arms of an old man who could be her grandfather today.

Why, they came in a sports car.If you are like me, even if you work hard all your life, you will never be able to drive such a sports car.

Let alone a sports car, my life is not settled yet.What can he do? He also wants to be like the protagonists, rush out and give the old guy a few hard blows.But can he really do this? Does he dare to do this?

Yes, that old guy is definitely no match for his young and strong self, but what about the bodyguard next to him?Besides, what if I get beaten? Can I escape the other party's revenge?Can the lost person come back?Even if you come back, what will you use to support yourself?What if this old man takes revenge on his parents? What can he do?

The sorrow of the poor, what is happening to this world.Huo Hai didn't know, he was like a walking zombie, he didn't even have the idea to come forward.He just walked back like a zombie and returned to the small house he rented.

Looking at the ring in his hand, Huo Hai smiled bitterly: "What about next month's rent?" I bought the ring, can I still return it?After a long time, Huo Hai took out an old book from under the bed and started reading.

This is what my grandma left for me.It seems that grandma was once a Miao person and had a unique skill in raising poisonous insects.However, with the development of reform and opening up, science became popular, and my parents did not believe in these unscientific things at all.Only I, when I was a child, was very interested in these magical things and studied them with my grandma for a while.

Here, the official method of using spiritual energy to feed insects is recorded.Reiki?What is this? Is there anything else on earth?With blood, Huo Hai was afraid of pain when he was a child. I believe all children are the same.

Therefore, Huo Hai has not cultivated anything for so many years, but Huo Hai has clearly recorded the things in this book.At the same time, some acupuncture points and meridians related to the circulation of Qi are also firmly recorded in my mind.

"Hey, what's the use of these?" Huo Hai shook his head helplessly, the bitterness on his face getting worse.Can you afford to pay the rent by raising insects?Don't say you can't raise it, even if you do raise something, so what.Based on my past understanding of Gu insects, apart from being used to harm people, what other uses does this thing have?

In modern society, killing people is not as effective as a knife or a gun.After reading it again, Huo Hai placed the book on the table.

Shaking his teeth, he went outside to buy a beer and some side dishes, and ate on his own."|Tomorrow, I will go home and never come to this place again." What Huo Hai ate was food, but what he swallowed were tears.

I don't know how long it took, but Huo Hai felt dizzy and fell asleep on the table.

The next day, the sun shone through the window and fell on Huo Hai's face.Huo Hai, who had been hungover all night, slowly opened his eyes."It's dawn. Hey, the past has passed. There's nothing left to let go of. Go home, go home, even if you go home to farm, you won't come to this place anymore." Huo Hai's face relaxed for a while, but the pain was all in his heart.

Leaving the big city is easier said than done.No one who comes to a big city wants to leave.Don't look at those rich and powerful people who are running down all day long.But no one who needs to support their families can give up the income brought by big cities.

Huo Hai feels that he is out of tune with his part-time job in the big city. Of course, he is more concerned about his girlfriend's betrayal.In the face of money, everything can be betrayed.Not wanting to see her sad again, Huo Hai decided to leave this place.

After packing his things, there was actually nothing to pack. Huo Hai took his luggage and left his temporary rented house.There is no need to go to the landlord.The landlord will come to collect the rent a long time ago. When he finds out that he has left, he will naturally rent to others.Huo Hai didn't want to look at the landlord's disgusting face.

It’s just a few days’ worth of rent lost at most, I can’t afford the loss.From a distance, Huo Hai saw an old man sweating profusely while loading cargo onto a tricycle.With an instinctive tremor in his heart, Huo Hai wanted to step forward to help.

But the leg that he just stepped out unconsciously took it back again."Haha, I can't even help myself, so I help others. Is there any benefit? After being a good person for so many years, I get a good person card at the end."

Huo Hai laughed at himself, resisted the thought of helping, and turned around to leave.In essence, Huo Hai is still a good young man who is not contaminated.But good young people, such creatures cannot survive in this society.

Huo Hai felt very uncomfortable because he didn't help others when he saw them in need.After all, it was different from the education he had received since childhood. If his outlook on life was shattered by his own hands, no matter who he was, he would feel very uncomfortable.Huo Hai, who was in a daze, did not notice at all that the green light in front had turned red.Still walking forward with a dazed look on his face.

"Squeak..." The sharp sound of brakes suddenly sounded in his ears, and Huo Hai raised his head blankly.Suddenly, my body hurt, and my whole body seemed to be flying in the clouds.Huo Hai, who was in a daze, finally reacted.

"I, I was knocked away." The word car accident appeared in Huo Hai's mind.When he was dying, Huo Hai didn't think about anything else, but thought about the good things he had done in the past.No matter how big or small, the good deeds you have done in the past flash through your mind.Unexpectedly, these are the things that I remember most deeply.

Because of his kindness, he has a girlfriend that others envy, and because of his kindness, he gives up all opportunities to others.Now, he still has trouble finding work.The final outcome was actually like this.

I wonder if my parents would be heartbroken if they found out.In Huo Hai's heart, the faces of his parents flashed across his mind.Then grandma, then grandpa."Xiao Hai, you have to live a good life forever, just like your name."

Grandpa's kind face flashed in front of him."Yes, that's right, my name is Huo Hai. I, Huo Hai, swear to God that if there is another life, I will be worthy of my name. Good people don't live long, and disasters live for thousands of years. I swear, I will never be a good person again." With anger, Huo Hai turned his last breath into his own oath.

After that, his body seemed to have hit something, his vision went dark, and he didn't know anything anymore.
