With doubt, Niu Bi put the ring back on his finger and looked at the time. The wholesale market was about to close. He had unloaded goods four times this afternoon and earned 200 yuan. However, the last truck was almost finished, but Niu Bi did not ask for money. One reason was the law of survival, and the other was that Niu Bi was sensitive to numbers. If he took the money for this truck, he would have earned 250 yuan today. Niu Bi did not want to be a fool, so he would rather not take it.
Riding on the bike, Niu Bi bought a roast goose and a bottle of white wine on the way and arrived home before dark.
At this time, there was a middle-aged man in the house. This man was very tall, about 1.85 meters tall, strong, wearing simple clothes, with messy hair and a vicissitudes of life on his face.
Seeing this man, Niu Bi walked over with roast goose and white wine: "Dad, are you back?"
The middle-aged man was Niu Bi's father, Niu Xin. Just like his name, Niu Xin had worked hard all his life and had hardly enjoyed a single day of happiness. He also had a bastard son, but he had a good wife, which should be the only comfort in his life.
"Hmm." Seeing the roast goose and white wine in Niu Bi's hand, Niu Xin sighed: "Why buy such expensive things again?"
"I'm not you. I have stopped growing. I'm only sixteen years old and I still have four years of growth to go! How can I not supplement my nutrition!" Niu Bi put the roast goose and white wine on the table: "Let's drink together!"
Niu Bi's words made Niu Xin sigh again: "Drink! Your father is incompetent. Whether you can live a good life in the future depends on you."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you are too old to work, just tell me. How can I not support you?" Niu Bi took out the remaining 132 yuan and threw it on the table: "I made 200 today and bought roast goose and wine. These are all left."
"Hmm, let your mother save it later. Alas! In a few years, you should get married. Remember to make more money. It's best to buy a house in the city. Your parents can't help you." Niu Xin sighed with shame and helplessness.
"I know, I can save at least 4,000 or 5,000 yuan from my monthly income. If I earn for 6 or 7 years, I can buy a small house. Then we can sell our old house, save more money, buy a slightly bigger house, move directly to the city, and leave this damn place as soon as possible, so that you and my mother can enjoy life as soon as possible." Niu Bi said.

"Alas!" Niu Xin sighed more.
After dinner, Niu Bi, who was tired all day, took a bath in his simple small bathroom and lay back on the bed to sleep. The weather was hot, and there was only an old ceiling fan in the room, which was still tirelessly giving its afterglow, bringing Niu Bi a sense of comfort.
Just when Niu Bi fell asleep, the ring on his hand suddenly emitted a hazy white light, which covered him. The next moment, Niu Bi's body suddenly disappeared.
"Where... is this?"
When Niu Bi opened his eyes, he saw a lush jungle, with faint sounds of birds singing and beasts roaring, and the rustling of grass in the wind.
Niu Bi took a deep breath: "Damn, such pure air, much better than the slums."
After sighing, Niu Bi thought of a question: "Why am I here? Did I also encounter a time travel incident?"
Thinking of time travel, Niu Bi felt sad. He was not the protagonist in the ordinary time travel novels, an orphan without a father or a mother, and his parents were alive and well. He was the only son of his parents. If his son suddenly disappeared, his parents would be very sad, and...
Niu Bi thought of the innocent and shy girl. She must be very sad!
Niu Bi knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Dad, Mom, I am an unfilial son. I can't serve you in the future... Yuyan... I hope you can be happy in the future..."
Two lines of tears fell, and Niu Bi burst into tears.
"Oh, oh! It's not like I can't go back. What's there to cry about." A voice that Niu Bi was familiar with and hated suddenly sounded in his ears.
Niu Bi turned around and when he saw the man clearly, he was immediately furious: "It's you, you old bastard!"
Niu Bi rushed over with his fists waving: "Give me back a hundred yuan!"
This man was the old liar who sold the ring to Niu Bi, but at this time, the old liar was wearing a green Taoist robe and holding a whisk in his hand, with an immortal demeanor. Facing Niu Bi's fierce rush, he gently waved the whisk in his hand. Niu Bi suddenly felt a huge force coming, which knocked his body straight away, gliding five or six meters in the air, and landing perfectly with his buttocks backwards.
"Ouch! Damn it!" Niu Bi covered his buttocks and screamed in pain.
"Old bastard, you..." Although Niu Bi hated it, he was shocked that the old liar beat him so badly with just a wave of his hand.
The old liar smiled slightly: "Boy, you don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young. You attack an old man like me. Aren't you ashamed?"
"You... who are you?" Niu Bi suddenly felt that he had encountered something beyond the cognition of ordinary people.
"Me? Of course I am the old man who sold you the ring." The old liar laughed.
Niu Bi was alert and didn't believe the old liar's nonsense at all.
Seeing Niu Bi like this, the old liar curled his lips: "Forget it, you really have no sense of humor, I'd better tell you the truth!"
