Evil Insect God

  The scorching sun, this summer seems to be even hotter than usual summers. The streets are bustling with people coming and going, a busy scene everywhere. As the weather gets hotter, people wear less and less, and by the roadside, there are groups of men waiting to catch a glimpse of beautiful women.

  Huo Hai, a young man who should have been like them, was in the midst of a scorching summer day, but his heart was as cold as ice.

  "Is there anyone as unlucky as me?" Huo Hai muttered to himself, no longer caring about anything around him. The ambition and grandeur since graduation had all but disappeared with the cold words of the interviewer, leaving only indifference and exhaustion.

  Every night, his heart is filled with confusion, not knowing where his future path lies or what he should do. Every day, every moment, Huo Hai feels like a walking corpse. Such things happen to oneself, it's really unfair. Huo Hai isn't one to complain about heaven and earth, but he can't help but grumble.

  It is said that good people do not live long, while troublemakers live for a thousand years. I remember it was because of this saying that Ho Hai's grandfather gave him such a name. The homophone for "troublemaker" means to obtain longevity and wealth.

  Huo Hai's father, however, did not share the same views as his grandfather. From a young age, he taught Huo Hai that good deeds are rewarded with good fortune and evil deeds are punished. This phrase had deceived Huo Hai for over twenty years. Being a good person isn't that easy.

  Looking back, I used to be a good Samaritan. When I saw an elderly woman crossing the road, I would help her. When I saw trash on the ground, I would pick it up. Although I didn't have the opportunity to do great deeds, I did many small acts of kindness within my power. I must have accumulated quite some good karma by now, and my life should be better because of it.

  Of course, now, for some reason, the old lady is no longer dare to help. However, when getting on the bus, giving up a seat to the elderly and so on, he has always been doing it. Whoever sees him says that Hao Hai is a good person.

  But the good news is where, is it that one's own experience is like this? If only after stepping into society, work is hard to find, then so be it. This doesn't count for anything, who isn't appreciated by others at first.

  No job, at least there's still a psychological comfort. Since high school, he has been making promises to his girlfriend and spending all the money he earned from part-time jobs on her. Sometimes, he had to eat instant noodles for several days in a row. Isn't this already doing justice to her? He couldn't possibly ask his family for money at this time, his face isn't that thick.

  But what did I get in return? Last night, my girlfriend of six years asked me to break up.

  Looking back now, Huo Hai still feels like he's floating on air. "Hehe, I'm a good person, we're not suitable. Bastard, we're not suitable, are you and that old man suitable?" Huo Hai's heart felt as if it had been put in an ice cellar.

  Yesterday, my girlfriend broke up with me, and I thought she was just being playful. Today, I took out all the remaining money and bought a ring to give to her, trying to please her. But what I saw was something else. The girlfriend who had just broken up with me yesterday was now in the arms of an old man who could be her grandfather.

  Why did they come in a sports car? With your current situation, even if you work hard for a lifetime, don't even think about driving such a sports car.

  Not to mention sports cars, his own life is still unsettled. What can he do? He also wants to be like those protagonists and rush out to give that old man a few heavy blows. But can he really do it? Does he dare to do it?

  No, that old guy is absolutely no match for a young and strong person like himself, but what about the bodyguard next to him? Besides, even if he fights back, can he escape the other party's revenge? Can the lost people come back? Even if they do, what will he use to support them? What if this old man takes revenge on his parents, what can he do?

  The sorrow of the poor, what's wrong with this world. Huo Hai didn't know, as if he was a walking corpse, without even the thought of sticking his head out. He walked back like a walking corpse and returned to his small rented house.

  Looking at the ring in his hand, Huo Hai sighed repeatedly: "What about next month's rent?" The ring was bought, can't it be returned? After a long time, Huo Hai took out an old book from under the bed and began to flip through it.

  This was left to me by my grandmother. My grandmother seemed to have been a Miao person and had the ultimate skill of raising silkworms and 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 young, was very interested in these magical things and followed my grandmother to learn for a period of time.

  Above, it records the formal method of using spiritual energy to feed insects. Spiritual energy? What is this thing, is there still on earth? With fresh blood, Ho Hai was afraid of pain when he was young, and I believe all children are the same.

  So many years, Huo Hai did not cultivate anything, but the things in this book were remembered clearly by Huo Hai. Along with that, some acupoints and meridians related to true qi circulation were also firmly recorded in his mind.

  "Alas, what's the use of these?" Huo Hai shook his head in frustration, his bitter expression deepening. Raising insect larvae, could it even help him pay the rent? Not to mention that he couldn't raise them successfully, even if he did manage to raise something, what would be the point? Based on his past understanding of Gu insects, aside from being used to harm people, what other use did they have?

  In modern society, harming others is no more effective than a knife or gun. After reading it again, Huo Hai put the book on the table.

  He shook his head, went outside to buy a bottle of beer and some small dishes, and started eating by himself. "Tomorrow, I'll go back home and never come to this place again." What Ho Hai swallowed was food, but what he gulped down were tears.

  After a while, Huo Hai felt dizzy and fell asleep on the table.

  The next day, the sunlight poured in through the window and landed on Huo Hai's face. Huo Hai, who had been drunk for a night, slowly opened his eyes. "It's daytime, ah, what's past is past, there's nothing that can't be let go of. Going home, going home, even if it means going back to farm, I won't come to this place again." Huo Hai's face relaxed slightly, but the bitterness was all in his heart.

  Leaving the big city is easy to say, but who wants to leave after coming to the big city? Don't look at those rich and powerful people, they are always running towards the bottom. But for those who need to make a living, no one can give up the income brought by the big city.

  Huo Hai felt out of place in the big city, and what's more, he was betrayed by his girlfriend. In the face of money, anything can be betrayed. Not wanting to see her get hurt again, Huo Hai decided to leave this place.

  Packed up a bit, actually there was nothing good to pack. Huo Hai pulled his luggage and left the temporary rental house. No need to go find the landlord either. The landlord would come to collect rent soon enough, and upon discovering he had left, would naturally go rent it out to someone else. Huo Hai didn't want to see the landlord's disgusting face again either.

  At most, it's just a few days' rent, I can afford to lose. Far away, Hao Hai saw an old man sweating profusely as he loaded goods onto a tricycle. With a natural tremble in his heart, Hao Hai thought of going forward to help.

  But the leg that had just stepped out unconsciously drew back. "Hehe, I couldn't even help myself, how can I help others? Is there any benefit to it? After being a good person for so many years, in the end, all I got was a 'good person card'."

  Huo Hai self-deprecatingly smiled, suppressing his desire to help, and turned to leave. In essence, Huo Hai was still an uncorrupted good young man. But a good young man, this kind of creature, cannot survive in this society.

  Because he saw someone who needed help but didn't help, Huo Hai felt very uncomfortable in his heart. After all, the outlook on life that was different from what he had received since childhood was shattered by his own hands, and no matter who it was, he would feel very uncomfortable. Huo Hai, who was dazed, didn't notice at all that the green light in front of him had turned red. He continued to walk forward with a dazed expression.

  "Screech..." A sharp braking sound suddenly rang out beside his ear, and Huo Hai's head jerked up in a daze. Suddenly, his body felt a jolt, and he was floating in mid-air as if he were riding on clouds. Dazed, Huo Hai finally came to his senses.

  "I, I was knocked flying." The word "car accident" appeared in Huo Hai's mind. At the moment of death, Huo Hai did not think of anything else, but thought of his past, all the good things he had done before. Regardless of size, all the good things he had done before flashed through his mind. Unexpectedly, what he remembered most deeply was these.

  Due to his kindness, he had a girlfriend that everyone envied, and also due to his kindness, he gave up all opportunities for others. Now, even finding work has become an issue for him. In the end, it turned out like this.

  I don't know if my parents will be heartbroken when they find out. In Huo Hai's mind, the faces of his parents flashed by. Then it was his grandmother, followed by his grandfather. "Little Hai, you must live a good life forever, just like your name."

  Grandfather's kind face flashed before his eyes. "Yes, that's right, my name is Huo Hai. I, Huo Hai, swear to heaven that if there is another life, I will live up to my name. Good people don't live long, calamities live for a thousand years. I swear, I'll never be a good person again." Huo Hai transformed his last breath into an oath, filled with anger.

  Then, it felt like his body had crashed into something, and everything went black, he didn't know anything anymore.
