Zhou Xiao was bored and slept on the tattered bed. Before going to bed, she told Tao Yueyue, "Wake me up as soon as possible."
It was really boring to sit in a dark room in the dark winter. Tao Yueyue took out the syringe several times and looked at Zhou Xiao beside her. There were beggars gathering here, so she naturally couldn't start.
There was a plop in the darkness. Under the moonlight, Tao Yueyue saw a ball rolling to the door. She walked over and picked it up. There was a little boy sitting in a pile of tatters. Tao Yueyue threw the ball back and the little boy picked it up. Live and throw it back.
After playing like this for a while, the little boy’s smile gradually became more open. Once Tao Yueyue threw the ball a little bit off, the little boy moved over with his hands on the ground. At this time, Tao Yueyue realized that he had no lower body. , Instead of the legs and feet is a wooden board with four rollers.
This scene hit Tao Yueyue. For the first time, she realized how happy it is to have healthy limbs. When the little boy threw the ball back, Tao Yueyue, who was in a daze, did not catch it. The little boy moved over and looked up at her. Said: "Sister Sister, I will show you my baby!"
"Oh, okay..." Tao Yueyue smiled. Not far away, a few beggars were playing cards and smoking cigarettes with a lamp, indifferent to the interaction of the two children.
The little boy showed her tattered collection to Tao Yueyue and introduced them with excitement. Tao Yueyue, who is not good at teasing children, just smiled and listened. The boy asked, "Sister, can you play with me every day?"
"I'm afraid it won't work. I'm leaving at dawn."
"But'Dad' said, you will be with us in the future."
"Which is your'daddy'?"
"Hey, it was there just now? He probably went out."
An ominous premonition spread across her body like an electric current. Tao Yueyue immediately went back to wake Zhou Xiao and said, "Those beggars will deal with you."
"Sure?"
Tao Yueyue told Zhou Xiao the information the little boy had revealed. Zhou Xiao smiled grinningly.
"You don't want to kill, okay..."
"I'm not that stupid. I'm fighting against the beggars in the city." Zhou Xiao stood up.
Seeing that the two were about to leave, the little boy looked reluctant, and several beggars who were playing cards suddenly stood up and said, "Where are you going?"
"I have left beforehand."
"I'm sorry you can't go."
"Why? I remember there were five people just now, one is missing, and I went to inform you? Want to get my hidden flower?"
"People die for money, Brother Zhou, you have to understand."
With kind words on their lips, four daggers appeared in their hands, and four beggars gathered around.
Tao Yueyue was so scared that she hid behind Zhou Xiao, Zhou Xiao laughed up to the sky, drew the knife from behind, and shouted: "Come here if you are not afraid of death!!!"
With a violent roar, they were so scared that they flinched. They winked at each other, but they didn't dare to be the first to rush forward.
In this subtle stalemate, Zhou Xiao pulled Tao Yueyue, slowly moved to the top of the stairs, and said "Go!" Tao Yueyue immediately rushed down the stairs, Zhou Xiao immediately followed.
Realizing that the duck with its mouth was flying, the beggars yelled, "Quickly chase!"
Zhou Xiao picked up a shovel on the ground and hid behind the pillar. When the mob chased him, he slammed the shovel and smashed one of them over.
Before the remaining three people had time to react, they were all overthrown by Zhou Xiao, or unconscious, or fell to the ground groaning.
Zhou Xiao put down the shovel and told Tao Yueyue to follow him quickly.
When he came to a safe place, Zhou Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and cursed: "A bunch of stinky maggots!"
Then teach Tao Yueyue: "I see it, now we people see others deceive, you have to get blood on your hands, they will be afraid of you, the law of this world is the law of the weak and the strong!"
The sky was slowly rising, Tao Yueyue asked, "Where are we going now?"
Zhou Xiao opened the wallet Tao Yueyue had stolen from the bar and said, "You still have some money, let's have breakfast."
Tao Yueyue nodded.
On the street, the cleaners have already started working. Some early-rising uncles and aunts are doing morning exercises and walking on the same streets. Tao Yueyue has a feeling that the same city looks completely different in the eyes of different people.
For people like Zhou Xiao, this is a savage and primitive jungle.
When such a person sits in the interrogation room and tells his own experience, the police may look at each other in surprise, but they will never understand that the gap between people is accumulated by different environments day by day.
A scent of earlier came, it was a fried dough stick stall, Zhou Xiao stepped forward, took a hot fried dough stick directly from the strainer on the top of the oil pan and ate it, and said, "Twenty fried dough sticks, four bowls. Tofu brain."
"I can't eat that much..." Tao Yueyue whispered.
"How much do you eat?"
Taking a look at the thick and long fried dough sticks, Tao Yueyue replied: "A fried dough stick, a bowl of tofu nao."
Zhou Xiao said to the boss again: "Twenty-one fried dough sticks, five bowls of tofu nao."
Soon after he was seated, the meal was served. Zhou Xiao grabbed the fried dough stick with his hands that he hadn't washed for three days and pushed it into his mouth. The whole fried dough stick was folded and stuffed in. He chewed heavily, and there was a thick rib on his forehead. From time to time, before swallowing another stick of fried dough sticks, he picked up the hot tofu brain with his hands when he was about to choke, and ate half a bowl of it in one mouthful.
Tao Yueyue thought to herself, what he eats is not fried dough sticks, but French fries.
There was a mother and a son next to him, and the mother said to the child: "Eat slowly, don't worry, the exam will not start until half past eight!"
"I'm done."
"Wipe your hands, come, and drink this bottle of Shengming No.1 Oral Liquid."
"Mom, I want to drink Coke."
"You drank the oral liquid and bought it for you."
Tao Yueyue looked at her with envy in her eyes. Even if Zhou Xiao let her go to take the high school entrance examination now, she did not have an admission ticket and was not qualified for reference. Zhou Xiao said, "I am still thinking about the high school entrance examination. It is useless. There is a spoof from going to university, but it is not being exploited by the boss. If you want to make money, you can’t go the right way."
"Isn't Ling Shuang also a university professor?"
Zhou Xiao was speechless for a while, stretched out his hand to wipe the oil on the hat on the table next to the old man, and said, "Ling Shuang knew us later than you."
"Okay!" Tao Yueyue didn't want to start a debate on this old-fashioned issue.
Zhou Xiao finished the last fried dough stick. At this time, the phone rang, and he talked in a low voice. After hanging up, he took out the phone card, broke it in half and threw it into the chili sauce bottle, and said, "Go!"
The two came to the community across the street and looked out through the fence. Zhou Xiao was cautious to the point of neuroticism. Even if the appointment was scheduled to meet, he would not stand in place and wait.
Every time Zhou Xiao smokes a cigarette, he puts the cigarette butt into the rose petals in the flower bed. After damaging all the rose flowers, the fat uncle appeared on the opposite side with a small schoolbag.
Zhou Xiao pointed, "Yueyue, go and bring him here."
Tao Yueyue stepped forward to explain her intentions, and the fat uncle immediately hugged her schoolbag tightly, "Who are you!?"
Tao Yueyue pointed to the other side, "Uncle Zhou is waiting for you."
After squinting to see clearly, the fat uncle walked across the road and said, "Mr. Zhou, why did you go, which made me carry so much cash for a long time."
"Open it and see."
The fat uncle opened the schoolbag, which was full of cash. Zhou Xiao picked up a wad of money and pulled it in his hand, sniffing the smell of the banknotes, and said to the fat uncle: "Your wife is already dead."
"No, it's the ex-wife." The fat uncle laughed.
