Chapter 36 Bitterness



When Jiang Qi returned to the room, the last paragraph on the white screen had come to an end.

Jiang Wanwan grabbed a handful of tissues to wipe her tears and was already crying, dubbing the silent film with her sobs. Jiang Qi's return did not disturb her. When Qin Can moved aside to make way for Jiang Qi, Jiang Qi noticed that there were two tears on Qin Can's face. The tears soaked the eyeliner, which was particularly obvious when viewed up close.

Sure enough, there are only a few people like Jiang Wanwan who have become accustomed to crying since they were children because their tear glands are particularly developed and their tear points are very low. They can start crying at any time without any scruples.

It is normal for Qin Can to cry silently without making a sound.

The screening ended and the room returned to darkness.

"Uuuuuuuuuah, it's so miserable, everyone is so miserable." Jiang Wanwan sobbed, "Brother, you are so miserable. You managed to run back but you still died so young, wuwuwuwu."

Jiang Qi:......

Jiang Qi, who didn't watch his own plot, said he had mixed feelings.

Gao Qin agreed with Jiang Wanwan's crying and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips: "It's so miserable. I feel like everyone is not living a good life."

Liu Chang sat down and stretched, twisted his neck and stretched his muscles, then stood up as if he was about to leave: "The plot is so tragic. Only one of six people died well. What did the screenwriter think of this?"

When Gao Qin saw her boyfriend getting up to leave, he was a little confused: "What do you want to do?"

"Haven't you finished watching the movie? Go back." Liu Chang was also a little confused.

Gao Qin: "...We are playing script killing. We haven't even released the script yet. Why go back? Go back!"

Liu Chang felt like he was in another world: "Ah, oh yes..."

Just then, the door opened.

Liu Lan walked in expressionlessly holding a brochure he found from nowhere.

Liu Lan did not turn on the light. All the light in the room came from the weak light at the door. With half of his body illuminated, Liu Lan was undoubtedly the most dazzling person in the room.

"Jiang Erzhu, Chen Wan, Su Qinghe, Liu Xueting, Wang Erya, Chu Ting." Liu Lan glanced at everyone and nodded to confirm, "Welcome to Time Cinema, I am Xiao Liu, a staff member here."

Without giving everyone a chance to ask questions, Liu Lan continued: "Wang Erya, a native of Xiahe Village. Born in 1896 and died in 1912, at the age of 16."

"Jiang Erzhu, a native of Huaimin Village. Born in 1927 and died in 1967, at the age of 40."

"Su Qinghe, a native of Xingcheng. Born in 1919 and died in 2009, at the age of 90."

"Chu Ting, a native of Chen County, was born in 1917 and died in 1942 at the age of 25."

"Liu Xueting, a native of Feng County, was born in 1911 and died in 1935 at the age of 24."

"Chen Wan, a native of Yaogou Village, was born in 1910 and died in 1992 at the age of 82."

"Although the past is in the past, you still have to remember the past if you want to be reincarnated, so." Liu Lan paused and did not continue. He adjusted the light to the weakest level and turned everyone's ability to the next level. for everyone.

Jiang Qi took Jiang Erzhu's book and counted the pages first. It was very short, 4 pages.

The others are similar. Liu Chang's Su Qinghe has slightly more pages, with 6 pages. After all, he lived a long life and was the only one of the six characters to live into the 21st century.

Jiang Qi began to read his script.

Jiang Erzhu's experience was much more rough than Wang Erya's. When he was a teenager, he was captured as a prostitute and was thousands of miles away from home. Later, the army was dispersed. Jiang Erzhu chose to go home between staying in a foreign land to make a living or returning home penniless.

Because he had no money, Jiang Erzhu couldn't afford a ticket and had to walk on foot. Jiang Erzhu traveled more than a thousand kilometers for two years, surviving by begging, stealing and doing odd jobs for others along the way. In two years, he almost starved to death, froze to death, was caught stealing and almost beaten to death, met kind-hearted people, and was robbed of his food by other beggars.

After Jiang Erzhu returned to his hometown after all the hardships, he found that the war in his original village was gone. Jiang Erzhu, who had no hope, stayed in the town begging for food and working as a beggar, living in confusion from day to day.

Fortunately, Jiang Erzhu saw his own mother who came to the town to go to the market one day when he was begging for food on the street. Jiang's mother didn't even recognize her son who had become a beggar after being away from home for nearly ten years. All three of her sons were arrested and none of them came back. Jiang's mother had given up hope long ago.

After mother and son recognized each other, Jiang's mother took Jiang Erzhu home. Jiang Erzhu lived a relatively happy life, marrying a wife and having children, and working as a coolie to make money to support his family.

But luck was only temporary. Jiang Erzhu's wife had difficulty giving birth to her fourth child. Jiang Erzhu spent all his family property but failed to save his wife's life. In order to support his children, Jiang Erzhu woke up early and worked hard every day, pulling a cart of stones weighing a hundred kilograms and earning only one penny. Ten years passed like this, until Jiang Erzhu contracted dysentery at the age of 40 and died.

Before he died, he complained that he had not saved enough for his second daughter's dowry, and asked his eldest son to find a good family for his second daughter.

The story is very tragic, but it may be because Jiang Qi has not watched villain movies. Watching Jiang Erzhu's story is far less emotional than watching Wang Erya's story.

Seeing that Jiang Qi had finished reading, Jiang Wanwan asked Liu Lan in a hoarse voice with her eyes swollen from crying: "Xiao Liu, can I read Er Zhu's story?"

Liu Lan nodded: "Of course."

Jiang Wanwan and Jiang Qi exchanged books and read them again.

Just like what Jiang Wanwan said while crying before, everyone is miserable.

Chen Wan is the daughter of Orion, and her family conditions are not bad. When she was 7 years old, her father injured his leg while hunting in the mountains. He was rescued by other hunters but died of the infection. Chen Wan was lucky. The villagers were all good people and they did not bully her and her mother because they were orphaned and widowed. When Chen Wan was 16 years old, she married a young man from the village and gave birth to 7 children. She lived an ordinary, hard and happy life.

Then the war spread to their village. Chen Wan's sons were captured and died on the battlefield. Her husband went into the mountains and never came out in order to hunt rabbits to replenish the health of his daughter who had just given birth. Some of the daughters died of illness, some died of dystocia, and the only grandson also died of infection due to a broken leg.

Chen Wan lived to be 82 years old, witnessed the death of all her relatives, and spent the last few decades of her life in loneliness.

Su Qinghe, the only one among them all who died a good death, also suffered a large part of his life.

Su Qinghe is a young man from a wealthy family. When he went to college in Peiping, Peking fell. He and his classmates fled all the way. They met many abandoned children on the way. They couldn't bear to see these children die on the road, so they could only pick up the children while running away. , gradually became separated from the large army, and Su Qinghe also lost contact with his family.

At first, money could be used to buy enough food. As the number of refugees increased, the price of food became more and more expensive. Su Qinghe and his classmates could not afford to feed so many children. They could only beg and travel, wandering all the way. His life was in danger several times. The classmates who picked up the children with Su Qinghe died, so Su Qinghe took care of these children alone. After the war, he settled in a small village and became a teacher, where he stayed for the rest of his life.

Soon, everyone had read all the books.

Liu Chang looked at his own notebook and compared it with others. He suddenly felt that he was doing pretty well and had survived into the 21st century.

"I suddenly felt that I was not so miserable and that I had a good death."

Gao Qin glanced at her boyfriend with resentment: "Of course you will die well. Among us five cows and horses, you are the landlord. If you don't die well, who will die well?"

At this moment, Liu Lan turned off the lights and the projector began to project the final clip.

There are six grids and six villains. Each villain stays in the cinema and looks at the staff in front of him.

"Am I dead?"

"Is this the underworld?"

"This is where?"

"this……"

Six different voices sounded.

"This is the Time Cinema, the third branch of the Underworld Office. Lone souls like you who have stayed in the world for too long and have lost their memory will come here to retrieve their memories. Now that you have retrieved your memories, it's time to leave. Here it is.”

"Do you have anything else to ask? If not, just follow me."

"Do I want to be a human in my next life? I don't want to be a human anymore. I want to be a dog raised by a landlord and eat meat every time."

"I want to see my second daughter. I haven't saved enough dowry for her. I'm afraid she will be bullied by her husband's family."

"Can you ask the gods to let my seven children have a good birth in their next life, so that they don't have to suffer with me?"

"It turns out he's dead. I've lived enough in my life, and now I can give an explanation to everyone."

"..."

The projection ends and everything becomes dark.

Liu Lan silently opened the door and said to the six people: "This is the Time Cinema. It is the last stop of the journey of life. It's time for you to leave."

"Woooooooooooo..."
