The two broke up, and Li Zhen stood on the street and watched the endless stream of vehicles and pedestrians. The noise that bore him in the past sounded so friendly now that even the stains on the trash cans smelled vibrant.

This is the world. He said to himself.

He walked two streets before he encountered an empty car. He reported the driver's address at home, and the yellow antelope car rushed onto the street. He pursed his lips and watched the tall buildings on the roadside rushing forward one after another. Everything seemed to be yesterday.

Finally, the car parked at the entrance of the community.

Li Zhen settled the bill and first went to the supermarket next to the community to buy a black baseball cap and put it on his head for two yuan, then lowered the brim of the hat. Then he handed his hand in his pocket and walked into the community as if nothing had happened.

It was 7:30 in the morning, and it was still a little dark, but the fish belly was white in the east. He walked all the way to the door of his house, entered the password, and then gently went up to the fourth floor - like a thief.

The door of the house is right in front of you, and there are no couplets on both sides, and there is no word "Fu" on the door. This is a custom in the north - someone in the family passed away, and as usual, they do not paste these things during the Spring Festival. However... it is also possible that they moved away before the Spring Festival.

Li Zhen held his slightly trembling hand, raised it and knocked on the door three times.

Each of the three sounds seemed to knock on his heart, and he shouted silently: "Where is the door open! I'm back! I'm not dead!!"

However, the door was silent.

He knocked three more times. This time it turned into a "bang bang bang". He never felt that time had passed so long. The chill crawled into his trousers from the ground, causing a small bump on his back. However, there was still no sound in the door.

He felt that he was about to cry, so he forced himself to raise his hand again-"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

"Click————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

However, it was the next door.

Li Zhen quickly retracted and lowered his head, trying to walk into the corridor, but the man had already seen him.

The man was Aunt Sun next door. She looked at Li Zhen in her pajamas puzzledly: "...Who are you looking for?"

"I..." Li Zhen simply raised his head and stared at her blankly.

Aunt Sun saw his face and showed a slightly surprised look - but it was fleeting. She still repeated the words just now: "Who are you looking for?"

Huh? Li Zhen sighed in her heart, she doesn't know me? This is impossible... Aunt Sun almost watched him grow up, but... she didn't recognize him?

He observed the other person's expression again until he decided that it was not a false alarm, and he restrained his emotions and said, "Where has this family... gone? I am... Li Zhen's friend, I'm here to find him."

"Li Zhen..." Aunt Sun's face dimmed when she heard this name, "You are looking for Li Zhen. Oh... that child was gone last year."

"Where is his family?"

"What are you doing with his family?" A sentence full of vigilance. Li Zhen felt a sense of ominous premonition in his heart. But he still looked surprised and regretful: "Ah? No?... Are you saying he is dead? I...I want to ask his family and I will go see him."

Aunt Sun looked at Li Zhen's face repeatedly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she completely lost the interest in chatting: "Forget it. Don't ask... His family has moved away for a long time. He picked it up by a military licensed car, but he didn't take anything when he left... Maybe he was a relative at home." After that, she closed the door with a "bang".

Li Zhen stood there and was stunned for a while. Relatives? Where are there any relatives at home? Both parents are only children and daughters. What's more, military licensed cars... it's even more impossible!

Something must have happened. He said to himself.

However, what made him even more strange was that when Aunt Sun saw him, she seemed to be looking at a stranger - although her face showed a little surprise. Could it be that I am not what I am now?

With such doubts, he hurried downstairs, returned to the previous supermarket, and found a mirror among the daily necessities.

What appeared in the mirror was a somewhat strange face.

To be honest, the past traces can be vaguely seen at the corners of the eyes and the eyebrows, but the general outline has changed. Even the skin has changed from the previous yellowish yellow to quite fair-like the skin of a newborn baby.

If the only thing that comforts him is that his face, which was once a plain face, has become quite handsome now...or, it can be more exaggerated.

But this little joy did not make him feel better - where did his parents go?

He felt cold all over his body because of cold or hunger. He had to be hospitalized with that disease before, so he had to test it? The strange situation in his body would definitely attract attention, right?

In this world, only I have the experience of resurrection from the dead and have such vitality as almost cockroaches? No... it is impossible. There must be more "weird people" like me on the earth. There are 1.3 billion people in China, so there must be more such strange people - can such secrets be completely concealed?

Then... a thought emerged in his mind, and just one ups and downs made him almost unstable:

They might have been arrested, just to study why a freak like me was born!

As soon as this thought came, he suddenly shuddered and instantly felt that there were pairs of malicious eyes around him. He would arrest him just when he appeared in a high profile, and then...

Then he sent it to the laboratory? Although he thought this idea was a bit naive and ridiculous, it was a terrible thing even if he was under house arrest. If he had more or less the idea of ​​actively cooperating and serving the country, those thoughts would have disappeared without a trace. They rudely captured their parents... would they be more friendly to themselves?

He was full of this thought, and became restless because of his subjective emotions, like a trapped beast.

I had to leave here. He put down the mirror and hurried out of the supermarket.

Then... find a place to stay and slowly inquire about the news. He thought while walking, and turned around from time to time to try to find the imagined follower, but it was destined to be futile. After walking through two streets, Li Zhen finally stopped and took a breath. Looking at the shops on the street, he thought of a person - Qi Yuanshan, whom he met in the car.

The kind boy promised to introduce him to a job, and the barbecue restaurant he mentioned seemed not far away from here. Based on the principle of "hidden in the city", it should be a good place to go. However... he frowned, and people would always look at their ID card. The first time he lied and said he lost it, but now he can't keep telling them that he lost it. If Qi Yuanshan really had a kind heart and accompanied him to the Public Security Bureau himself - everything was exposed.

So this high school student who was once ignorant of the world had only one way left - to get a fake certificate.

He never thought that one day he would come into contact with such things, but his world was no longer the same. Finally, he made up his mind and turned into an alley.

There are usually dense advertisements posted on the walls of this kind of alley, from unlocking to water and electricity repairs. He found a line of crooked and sprayed text: apply for a certificate. 136XXXXXXXXXX.

He was a little surprised by the fact that he openly posted illegal advertisements, but he was also somewhat grateful. It seems that the sentence is right: existence means reasonable.

But then he found that even if he was looking for someone to apply for a fake certificate, he couldn't do it just by asking for it - he didn't have a phone number right now. As for the card plug-in phone number on the side of the road... he hadn't seen that kind of thing in several years! So he could only try to walk to a relatively remote street in order to find a public phone number in the convenience store.

After a fifteen-minute walk, he got what he wanted. With the thief-like eyes of the shopkeeper's aunt, he hurriedly paid the money and returned to the alley just now.

The other party has arrived early. He is a pretty fashionable young man - wearing stud earrings and sunglasses, his hair is dyed maroon, and his upper body is covered with a small leather suit suspected to be artificial leather.

He looked at Li Zhen, who was dressed in shabby clothes: "You want to apply for a certificate?"

"...Well." Li Zhen nodded and looked at the exit at the same time - fearing that a large number of police officers suddenly rushed in at this time.

"For thirty yuan, pay the money first and then get the certificate." said the young man.

"You want thirty?" Li Zhen was stunned for a moment - he could exchange for five long-distance tickets for thirty yuan. He only had thirty-nine-five yuan left, and he was still hungry.

"You get what you pay for." The young man came over and hugged his shoulder enthusiastically, "I found it all on the computer of the public security system, and it was absolutely worth it."

Li Zhen hesitated for a while. But... Anyway, after getting the certificate, I went to Qi Yuanshan to work. It would be fine if I had less money, right?

He made up his mind and raised his head: "Then I'll give you the money first. What if you don't give me a certificate?"

The young man smiled bitterly: "How could it be? You are basically all messing around with the rules. If we collect money or not - how dare we? Besides, there are urgent matters for those who apply for the certificate. We can't cheat people even if we collect money."

Li Zhen tried to find something on his face... However, the other party's expression was extremely sincere. He hesitated for a while, and finally reached into his pocket and took out three gold coins worth ten yuan: "When will I give it to me? I'm urgent."

The young man took the money and said, "We have a computer certificate, it's very fast. You're here to wait - in ten minutes, I'll give it to you." After that, he turned around and walked towards the other end of the alley, walked a few steps, and turned around and reminded him: "Wait here! Don't go far, I'll come back and can't find anyone!"

This action also dispelled Li Zhen's final doubts. He felt a little relieved, tightened his clothes, held back his hunger, and stood quietly waiting.
