Chapter 7 second chance

Oscar Brown killed his wife. It was his sixty-fifth birthday, and Oscar Brown pushed his wife down the stairs when he was unaware. Maybe he wouldn't have done that to his wife if it wasn't for that old book with yellowed pages.He had found the book the day before while cleaning the attic. Oscar was cleaning out his attic that day when a dusty old book in the corner caught his attention.I don't know who hid that book in the attic. The name of the book is very strange, it's called "Miraculous Medicine Formula".Oscar opened the yellowed pages of the book, and a title caught his attention - "The Recipe That Can Miraculously Change Your Life".Under this quirky title, there is a recipe.After briefly reading the recipe, Oscar was taken aback.Because, on that page, it says:

What's more, Oscar was even more surprised: the various raw materials required for the recipe were not uncommon, and all of them could be found in the kitchen. Oscar thought: This recipe is probably a prank.Because, if you got rid of someone or something that bores you, what else do you need this formula for?However, Oscar changed his mind: the house where he and his wife lived was said to be the mansion of a witch many years ago.She was hanged for practicing witchcraft.Thinking of this, Oscar carefully read the formula several times, and repeated the sentence: "A miracle will happen soon..."

If Oscar hadn't wandered into the park the next day, he might have forgotten about the recipe. The next day was Oscar's birthday.He is 65 years old, and his not-so-happy life makes him look old.Oscar was sitting on a bench in the park basking in the sun, watching with great envy the couples walking in the sun, the handsome young man hugging the slender waist of the young and beautiful girl, kissing passionately.The girl's provocative laughter reached his ears, and Oscar felt extremely sad in his heart. Oskar couldn't help thinking about the cruel contrast between his wife Nadia, that damned woman, and the young girls in the park.Oscar just couldn't stand it.

During the day, Nadia always liked to wear a high-necked feather silk dress; at night, in the bedroom, Nadia also used to be neatly dressed; she did not put on a long flannel until it was time to go to bed. Pajamas, under the cover of this pajamas, she began to undress.Every day, before dawn, Nadia got up, and at the same time she forced Oscar to get up.Then she babbled to Oscar, ranging from small social injustices to major crimes in the world, endlessly, and she didn't shut up until she went to bed at nine o'clock in the evening.Nadia also has a cleanliness habit. She has to clean the room spotlessly every day and asks Oscar to clean it for her too.Nadia pays special attention to cleaning the keyhole, wiping it a dozen times a day before giving up.Oscar finds this behavior symbolic and is dismayed.

On the day of his 65th birthday, Oscar sat alone in the park, looked at those young lovers with envy, and lamented that his youth was gone forever.Thinking about it, Oscar couldn't help but shed tears of self-pity.He had a chance to get those girls too, but he didn't.He recalled that in his half life, he had never been embraced passionately by a young girl, let alone heard a young girl's passionate moaning.But who can blame this?Because at the age of 25, he married Nadia for money. He walked home sullenly.Pushing open the door, his wife Nadia's nagging sounded in his ears again.Oscar couldn't help but think about it more and more.In the end, he pushed his wife down the stairs...

Before reporting his wife's accident to the police, Oscar collected various raw materials according to the formula in the old book, prepared a potion, and then drank the potion - it tasted good, but a little salty. After that, Oscar sat at home all day, waiting for some miracles to happen to him. At first, no miracles happened at all except for Oscar to find himself rich. Oscar married Nadia for money.However, after marriage, he discovered that Nadia took the money bag seriously.Nadia is a very frugal woman. Except for daily expenses, she spends very little money and deposits it in the bank.In addition, even the money earned by Oscar's hard work in the forty years of his marriage was taken back by Nadia and saved.So Oscar didn't get that money until Nadia died.

So, now he found that he got more than one million yuan at once.Oscar felt that it wasn't worth it, as if all his life's suffering was paid for by this money. However, at this moment, a miracle happened. Oscar, who looked in the mirror every day, was surprised to find that his hair began to slowly turn from gray to brown.The same miracle happened to his body, his limbs became flexible and his appetite got better and better.Oscar also noticed a change—the glasses he was wearing began to blur his vision. Finally, the ophthalmologist advised him to take off the glasses, which he did, only to find that his vision had returned to the state of his youth!

Oscar had higher expectations of himself.He expected all the miracles to appear on him at once.But he managed to hold himself together and waited patiently until his third tooth came back! He is getting younger! Of course, this presents him with a new conundrum - people will notice the change in him.However, Oscar had already found a solution. He quietly left his hometown and stayed in a hotel five hundred miles away, where no one would know him.He has made a plan for himself, which he will steadfastly carry out. Looking back on the 40 years of his married life with Nadia, how rigid and lifeless it was!Now, he is determined to completely erase the gloomy 40 years until he returns to the age of 25.At that time, he will find a beautiful and innocent blonde, even if he spends money to buy one, and he will be chic again!

At that time, he would have to marry the blonde, because that was the only way to have her forever.However, he felt that it would be nicer to marry a mistress instead of a wife. But he is also aware of his situation: he is getting younger and younger - every six months he is a year younger.If Oscar's secret was discovered by the world, he might cause a sensation all over the world, and the government might imprison him in a house surrounded by barbed wire.At that point, no blonde will come to see him unless she buys a ticket to see him.Of course, there's another situation where if a blonde knows that by their silver wedding anniversary, Oscar will be so young that she'll need her to change his diaper, she's definitely not going to marry him now, no matter how silly she is.

To deceive others, Oscar moved every six months, while also transferring his assets from one bank to another. In all these years, he remained single, and of course it was definitely not because of Nadia.He often shuts himself in a quiet room, quietly experiencing miracles happening to him.He saw himself from 65 years old to 60 years old, 55 years old, 50 years old... He sat in the room and couldn't help but laugh.Sometimes he even mutters to himself, thinking about what he'll do once he's young enough to be 25. When Oscar returned to his 30s, he found that he often had the urge to flirt with girls; It doesn't matter at first." However, Oscar Brown knew that he must act unswervingly according to the established policy this time, and he would never contact any woman in advance before the age of 25.

Therefore, in order to wait for that day, Oscar has been living a life of abstinence like a monk for the past twenty years. In this way, Oscar becomes one year younger every six months.When he was originally 65 years old and turned 25 years old, Oscar spent a full 20 years.When he turned 26½, he took all his money out of the bank and headed to New York.Oscar rented an apartment on Park Avenue. As soon as he put his luggage in the apartment, he hurried to Manhattan at dusk without even opening it. He won't be abstinent tonight. Those twenty-five and six-year-olds have a very superficial understanding of sex, and they think that as long as there is love, it will be fine.Oscar scoffed at the views of these young people—these young men did not understand human nature.If you add up the two lives, Oscar has lived for 85 years, and he has also studied human nature for 85 years.He clearly knows that in order to win the heart of a beautiful woman, he must not only pay for affection, but also be willing to spend money. So during those six months, Oscar spent money like water.He spends his days at nightclubs and high fashion stores, paying for fancy food, expensive booze and expensive clothes for expensive brunettes. But the ultimate goal of the Oscars is not brunettes.He just practiced with them.Because he was going to marry a blonde on his 25th birthday. With his 25th birthday approaching, he's off to find the blonde.Oscar arrives at the Hikers nightclub and picks her out of a group of strippers.And as soon as she saw Oscar's bulging wallet, she fell in love with him. Oscar learned that her name was Gloria, and she was a poor girl from the countryside.Gloria's father was a heavy drinker, and her mother made a living by washing clothes, but she also had countless lovers.Gloria has many siblings.A family like her is looked down upon locally. "Even though I come from such a family, I have dreams," she said, "and I want to live a decent life." So she went to Oscar. "I want to be a decent person and have a decent life," she said more than once. Oscar thinks: She has indeed found it, and she is the man who can give him a decent life.Oscar took her to a crazy ball, spending money like water, eating, drinking and having fun, drunk and dreaming. Oscar also thinks that Gloria is the most pleasing man in the world. So, on his 25th birthday, Oscar and Gloria got married. The next morning, Oscar woke up with a big surprise. Gloria returned her hair to its original brown color. "I'm finally living a decent life," she said. She pulls out a lot of shoddy, tacky clothes from her suitcase. She made three rules for Oscar: he must go to bed at nine o'clock in the evening; he was not allowed to drink strong alcohol at home; and after checking Oscar's account books, she announced that she would be in charge of the money in the future. She told Oscar: "I know you are rich, but you can't just sit and eat and waste your life. You have to find a good job, work hard, and earn more money!" Oscar is about to break down, and he files for divorce.But Gloria flatly refused: "Divorce is the most disgraceful act, you'd better not even think about it! I won't give you a reason for divorce at all." Moreover, Oscar discovered another thing: since the day he married Gloria, Oscar has been like a normal person again, and he has slowly started to age again. That recipe, as it promised, gave him what he deserved. He lived with Gloria for another forty years.
