Chapter 1 The Magical Movie Ticket

"Dudu..."

A luxury Mercedes-Benz made a deafening whistle to remind high school students picking up trash on the road that it was time to get out of the way.

Sure enough, after hearing the beeping sound, Zhang Xin, who was holding a few empty mineral water bottles in his hand, raised his head. After a look of confusion on his face, he picked up his feet and ran towards the roadside at a faster speed.

Get out of the way.

A faint stream of white steam was emitted from the exhaust pipe, and the four wheels turned in unison. The luxurious Mercedes-Benz started and drove towards the road. After turning a corner, it disappeared.

In the same place, Zhang Xin had a look of hope in his eyes. The Mercedes-Benz had long since disappeared. He was still looking closely at the street corner, as if looking at the traces left by the Mercedes-Benz.

After a while, Zhang Xin lowered his head and glanced at the whitewashed school uniform on his body. A look of loss flashed across his face, and then he returned to indifference. It was a kind of person who had experienced too many human feelings, so he was indifferent to everything.

expression.

Suddenly, Zhang Xin patted his head, glanced around, and after identifying a direction, he raised his legs and ran over quickly. After turning a few familiar corners, Zhang Xin came to a dilapidated house.

Calling it a house is actually a bit of a stretch. The surroundings are all made of wooden boards and plasticized paper, and it looks like it has been around for some time. The few pillars supporting the house even exude a faint musty smell, which really makes people doubt whether these pillars will turn out in the next moment.

It won't break directly.

The only thing worthy of praise is that this house occupies a large area, more than 20 square meters, and is divided into three small rooms.

This house is Zhang Xin's "home" where he has lived for more than ten years. Although it is very dilapidated, it is where Zhang Xin settles down and lives, and many warm memories are recorded in it.

Zhang Xin was an abandoned baby. For unknown reasons, he was abandoned by his relatives in a garbage dump. He was adopted by an old man who happened to be passing by and picked up garbage. He has been picking up garbage with the grandfather since he was a child to make a living.

The grandfather who picked up garbage had experienced the hardship of being uneducated since he was a child, so even if his life was very difficult, he still gritted his teeth and let Zhang Xin go to school. For seventeen years, even if he was too poor to eat, he never gave up and supported Zhang Xin until he was in the second year of high school.

.

It's Sunday now and school is on holiday. Zhang Xin, who has been very sensible since he was a child, goes out to pick up garbage. After Sunday, he sells it at garbage collection points, thereby earning a certain meager income to support their lives.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Zhang Xin walked into the simple shack and put the empty mineral water bottle in his hand into the snakeskin bag where the garbage was usually placed. After taking a look at the clock he picked up on the wall, Zhang Xin thought in his heart

Calculate the time.

Then he picked up the snakeskin bag next to him and ran out of the house. There were still several hours before grandpa came back, so he could just go out and pick up the garbage.

Holding the snakeskin bag, Zhang Xin skillfully walked through the spots where there was usually a lot of garbage, dug out some garbage that could be sold and put it into the snakeskin bag. It didn't take long for the snakeskin bag, which was half a person tall, to be full.

Xiaoban. Zhang Xin looked up at the time and decided to go to the nearby garbage dump to have a look. Then he filled the bags in his hands and went home.

This garbage dump is the only one in the county. Sixteen years ago, Zhang Xin was discovered by his grandfather here and brought back to the shack to raise him. It can be said that this is the place where he changed his destiny. Most of the scraps usually come from here.

Picked up.

After Zhang Xin entered the garbage dump, he skillfully rummaged through several garbage piles and filled most of the snakeskin bag in his hand. As usual, Zhang Xin rummaged through one garbage pile and walked towards another garbage pile.

Suddenly, Zhang Xin's eyes were swept by light reflected from nowhere. The light was so strong that Zhang Xin's eyes turned white. Zhang Xin took a few steps forward and walked to the object that reflected the light. It turned out to be an object that reflected the light.

A movie ticket.

However, Zhang Xin's eyesight, which he had honed since childhood, immediately discovered the unusualness of this movie ticket: other movie tickets would have a certain movie written in such and such a movie theater, but this movie ticket was completely blank.

Why did Zhang Xin think it was a movie ticket when he first saw it?

Moreover, the material of this movie ticket is very strange. It is neither paper nor metal. It feels soft and comfortable.

I don't know why, when Zhang Xin first looked at it, he felt that this movie ticket was a little unusual, very different from ordinary objects. After carefully observing the movie ticket, he saw that it was clean, so Zhang Xin took it.

He put it in his purse, not in a snakeskin bag.

"Huh?"

Zhang Xin's eyes turned and he saw a one-dollar steel coin under the garbage next to him. It seemed that it had been neglected and sandwiched in the garbage. For Zhang Xin, this was a small surprise that occasionally appeared.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Xin reached out to pick up the rubbish, picked up the one-yuan steel coin, wiped it on his clothes, and put it into his purse. As for Spider-Man who stayed with the one-yuan coin

The movie poster of "Three" was thrown out casually by him.

What Zhang Xin didn't know was that the moment his hand touched the movie poster, a still from the movie "Spider-Man" III appeared on the front of the blank movie ticket in his wallet: a man dressed in black.

The evil Spider-Man and the righteous Spider-Man in red look at each other from a distance.

On the back of the movie ticket, this line of font appears:

Movie: "Spider-Man" III

Starring: Peter Parker, Harry Osborn, Mary Jane, Eddie Brock, Flint Mack, and - Zhang Xin.

Below the actor list, there is also a progress bar with a 1% display on it.

Of course, Zhang Xin, who was picking up rubbish, didn't know all this. He was so happy that he found a one yuan coin that he didn't notice the changes in his pocket at all.

After spending some time, Zhang Xin filled the space in the snakeskin bag, looked at the sky, and felt that the time was almost up, so Zhang Xin turned and walked towards the shack.

It was almost six o'clock now, and he had to go back to cook quickly.

When leaving, Zhang Xin's eyes were inadvertently attracted by the wrinkled poster of "Spider-Man" III. After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xin picked it up and held it in the palm of his hand.

Originally, due to his family's financial situation, he didn't have the spare money to go to the movies. However, in the past seventeen years, he has watched some movies, including the "Spider-Man" series, and he just happened to watch them completely.

After watching these movies for the first time, Zhang Xin once had a heroic dream in his heart. He even reluctantly bitten several spiders in order to become Spider-Man, hoping that he would mutate like Peter and become a human.

The admired Spider-Man.

However, the cruel reality soon shattered the unrealistic fantasy in Zhang Xin's heart. This world is a world where money is supreme. The strong have everything, luxury cars, mansions, and beautiful women. But the weak like Zhang Xin can only

Study hard and gain the qualifications for your own survival from garbage.

Now, seeing the poster of "Spider-Man" again, Zhang Xin felt a little emotional, but after a while, he laughed at himself for being unrealistic. He just threw the poster away, and when he went back,

Whether intentionally or not, I stepped on the poster and trampled the Spider-Man on the cover under his feet...

Zhang Xin spent a lot of time picking up garbage, so when he returned to the shack, his grandfather who went to sell scraps had already returned. When he saw the familiar old tricycle at the door, Zhang Xin showed a heartfelt smile on his face and spread his legs.

He ran towards the shack and shouted:

"grandfather"

"Coming."

An old voice came out, and following this voice, a kind old man in his sixties, whose face was covered with traces of time, walked out of the room and looked at Zhang Xin running towards him with a loving face.

But when he saw the snakeskin bag behind Zhang Xin, his face sank, and he said with hatred:

"Why are you picking up garbage again? Didn't I tell you not to pick up garbage? Your mind should be on your studies. Only by studying hard can you get ahead and live in a big house in the future..."

Hearing this kind scolding, Zhang Xin lowered his head obediently and said nothing. He knew that his grandfather was doing it for his own good and was afraid that he would not focus on his studies. It was precisely because he knew that his grandfather was good to him that Zhang Xin did his best to

With my meager strength, I want to lighten my grandfather's burden.

Zhang Xin didn't know who his grandfather was. He only knew that his grandfather's surname was Zhang and he was very kind to him. Although he was uneducated, he taught Zhang Xin many principles of life and tried his best to give Hu Fan the best conditions.

.

After scolding Zhang Xin for a while, Grandpa Zhang's anger quickly subsided when he saw Zhang Xin's well-behaved look. He also knew that no matter how he scolded Zhang Xin, he would never talk back, and Zhang Xin's original intention was also to

He is fine, and I hope I can do something for him to lighten his burden.

So he could only say in a helpless tone: "Remember, you must focus on your studies and try to pick up garbage as little as possible in the future."

"Yeah" Zhang Xin nodded obediently.

As Grandpa Zhang spoke, he took off the snakeskin bag from Zhang Xin's shoulder and put it in the big bag next to it, keeping it for sorting and selling to the scrap factory tomorrow.

After putting away the garbage, Grandpa Zhang showed a loving smile on his face, and then said to Zhang Xin in a mysterious tone:

"Xinxin, look, what did grandpa bring you?"

Zhang Xin looked up and saw that his grandfather took out a piece of big cake from his purse and handed it to Zhang Xin with a smile. Then he looked at Zhang Xin with expectant eyes.

Zhang Xin pretended to be pure joy on his face and happily took the big cake. He knew that even if he refused, it would be useless, because his grandfather left it specially for him. Watching him eat it made him even happier than him eating it.

So without any hesitation, Zhang Xin just ate it with big mouthfuls.

"Is it tasty?"

"Um"
