Digital Life - Chapter 3

The consequences of forgotten lies

Arrived home. Wei opened the door slowly, but all along he wasn’t dare to look up because he was very scared! He was scared of his father and his mother that will show up with those words on: w.a.n.g Lan Hua and Dai Zhen.

“Are you back? Come to eat first, how was your day?” his father said to him while he was sitting at the table in the dining room. After saying that, he hold in his hand a ‘Xing Yin Ge’ beer and he sip directly to the bottle.

“Hmm, was fine” he walked straight to the table, picked the chopsticks and the bowl to eat. And he didn’t still dare to look up.

“Is Wei Wei already back?” a woman who was just nearly 40, although she aged through the time looked like 50 years married woman were coming out form the kitchen, holding on her hands a dish of braised pork. “Wei Wei, come! Mommy made your favourite braised pork. I’ll strive for it, mommy will cooked braised pork for you to eat, everyday.”

His mother took a few dishes that he was facing to and put them aside in order to place the braised pork alone right in front of him.

“Mom, the teacher said in two days there will be the final exam, it’s 50 Yuan per person.” he caught a piece of the braised pork and put it into his own mouth, while he was chewing he was talking to his mother.

“When do you have the last exam?” his dad as soon as he heard, he followed the conversation asking with the inquiry words.

“The exam will be held in two days, the teacher said, everyone has to ”

Pow~~~~~~~~~~~~ a clear sound of a gla.s.s bottle reverberate in the hall.

“Hua, you’re such an a.s.shole, you want to kill him, watch out your cruel hand!” his mother bent down over the floor next to w.a.n.g Wei and hold him in her arms dizzy and confused, she fiercely used her dress’ sleeve to clean the blood smeared on his head, while she was cleaning she cried loud out to scold his father.

“You’re piece of box, you didn’t give to birth the child, you don’t even feel heartbroken, your cruel scattering hand, do you want to kill him? You just have one child, do you really think if you kill him you will feel better? ”

The father got softly at the time he was looking at her crying like a tearful mother.

“He *** there’s no way not to bash him if you don’t make him to remember. He lies and he’s not shamed of it, and you still say: ‘in few days there will be the exam?’ Motherf.u.c.king! Today is the last morning of the exam. The exam is already finished and you still say ‘there will be the exam in two days’ Do you think I am a stupid?” the more he talked the more he got irritated, if it wasn’t for the mother holding him, he will just hit him hard and kill him. “I a.s.sure that he was playing online-games, he doesn’t even know anything about his own gender.”

“Whatever it was, he is your own biological child! Even tough cruel tiger will not devour its cubs, how can you be so cold-blooded? Get far away!” the mother was still there, sitting on the floor and holding the boy with one hand and with the other hand whammed the father while he was into pull her up.

At that moment w.a.n.g Wei didn’t feel pain anymore, although his heart could only feel fear! Because because that voice jumped out again from his brain.

Non playing character, you have been attacked by external hostility, w.a.n.g Lan Hua, life is reduced 15 points, current life is 85/100.

Non playing character, you have been attacked by external hostility, w.a.n.g Lan Hua caused you a small extent of blood, every 10 seconds it will reduce 1 point of your life. The effective time is 1 minute.

Non playing character, you have just been attacked by external hostility, w.a.n.g Lan Hua. You have 10 minutes free time to counterattack.

Once again it was scaring. No. It was shocking. After all what happened he was scared for quite a while, and now he had a little immunity.

He hardly raise up his head and looked at his mother, he soon realized that there were also two big white characters on his mother’s head: Dai Zhen. Then, on his father’s head there were three bright red characters: w.a.n.g Lan Hua.

Up till that moment, w.a.n.g Wei believed that was real, he wasn’t dreaming, nor blurred vision, but the world in front of his eyes was genuinely true and real becoming the same place as in the video games where he could play everyday .

“You and your mother stand up, you’re just pretending to lay down there on the floor. That’s just a little hole, you’re not going to die.”

“What? Do you still want to hit him? You won’t give up if you don’t kill him, right? If you want to hit, hit me first, right here, in this direction! In any case, you’re not even human, just a scoundrel cold-blooded!” his mother got up from the ground and put her head in front of his father, she pushed his father while she was yelling at him.

“Stop bothering! I’m not going to hit him, I just want to talk to him, talk properly!” the father pushed away to one side the mother that was almost getting out of her mind and said to w.a.n.g Wei who was still laying on the floor: “Come on, get up. We both, father and son, let’s talk properly. You have grown so much that we never had a talk heart to heart. Relax, I won’t hit you.”

After his father talked, he sat down, he pull the chair followed by his hand and put in front of him. He extended the arm, pointed the boy with the finger, he was there, at the chair, scared.

His mother looked at his father, it seemed to be he wasn’t intent to beat him, so she didn’t block him, but at the time she was still tearing she kept aside with agitation.

w.a.n.g Wei got up slowly from the floor, right after at the moment he got up his head was a little dizzy giddy. He swayed from one side to another, swaying till got to the seat. He saw his mother burst in a sharp pain standing next to him.

“Hey. Dad doesn’t like hit you. You’re not a little child anymore. How old are you? You’ve got ident.i.ty card, too. You must understand, now! Why am I feeling so disappointed? Tomorrow it’s going to be another year and you will go to the third year of high school, after that you will have to prepare the exams for the university. If you don’t make it, what should we do? Working is getting harder, and only with studying you will reach the top. Unless you want to follow the fate of your father’s generation, just end up at ‘Hou Jiu Wan Fang’ small supermarket in the booth with me killing chicken for your entire life?” his father did his best to persuade him and said to him.

“But this is not the only way to get along the life just studying at the university!” w.a.n.g Wei nagged after he heard, he immediately become confident and pointed out those words.

“You!” his father clenched his teeth, closed his eyes and took a firmly breath, right after he exhale he opened his mouth ant kept going on with the conversation: “Yes, that’s right, I recognize it, studying is not the only way to make money. Even so, nowadays there are several big business owner who didn’t studied, none of them. For example, I opened a small killing chicken stall, with a skilful mind and behaving with integrity and friendly. All small and big restaurants consume dad’s chicken and ducks. If you work less in one month, you still can get few millions of bucks, it’s definitely not worse than the current white-collars job. But are you willing to ran the business with dad at the two square meters of stall full of chickens plumes and feathery taste? Or do you wish to be everyday in the office, with the air conditioner blowing, everyday at the computer for the same amount of money?”

“I’m not studying, right now, and you still can get few thousands buck in one month!” He was already dizzy, he nagged to his father again and afterwords he immediately get used to the dizziness and pointed out those words.
