In the morning, Tongliao Railway Station.
Don't ask me where I come from. My hometown is far away. Why do I wander, wander, wander...
Qi Yu's song was playing on the semiconductor, and San Mao's lyrics were very beautiful. Li Muye didn't really appreciate it, but because his sister had always liked this song very much, he became familiar with the melody.
The sunshine outside the train station shines in, and people on the journey are accompanied by the sound of music. Some people leave their hometown, and some return home as fast as an arrow.
The strong calf-like Bai Peng appeared in sight. This weak calf was the guy who stole most of Li Muye's piece of cake that day.
After returning to the north from Guangdong, Li Muye did not follow Li Qizhi's advice to surrender. Instead, he went to Tongliao Railway Station and became a street boy. In a flash, two months have passed since then. Li Muye, who has been wandering at Tongliao Station for two months, is now familiar with the situation around the train station. The waiting room was heated at night, so some street children were attracted to spend the night there. Gradually, a small Jianghu circle was formed.
This Bai Peng is one of them. When he first arrived, he was the one who snatched a piece of cake from Li Muye. When he returned here three months later, Li Muye was no longer what he was before, both in terms of courage and ability. No matter how poor he was, Bai Peng tried his best to keep his clothes neat and tidy. After a few days of secret observation, Bai Peng discovered that Li Muye was also a wanderer, and the boy became bolder.
The first time he came to trouble, Li Muye started a fight with him without hesitation. He didn't use any special means, so he suffered a little loss, but his fierceness also made Bai Peng very uncomfortable. Then he came again, and Li Muye didn't fight him, but took him to eat two large bowls of dry noodles at the cheapest noodle shop outside the station. Then the two became friends.
The two were of the same age, Li Muye had lived with Bai Peng for three months and became his wild brother.
Li Muye came back here because he couldn't remember where he should go. It’s not that I didn’t think about surrendering after listening to Li Qizhi. It was because I thought about it that I gave up the idea of going south to Hong Kong and returned to the north. But I hesitated again when I got to my door. In a daze, he went to Tongliao Station and became a street boy.
Although I have given up the idea of going to Hong Kong for the time being, I still can't help but yearn for the Oriental Pearl when I occasionally watch Hong Kong movie videos in the station video hall.
In Hong Kong movies, people who escape there are called "big circle boys". According to old gangsters, there are some big circle boys who specialize in recruiting desperate people from the mainland and training them to be killers. Those in the big circle live a romantic and wandering life with guns never leaving their bodies, knives never leaving their hands, killing people alive with a glance. He wears famous brands, drives famous cars, and picks up the most beautiful girls. Li Muye was fascinated by what he heard and never thought about how an old gangster who had been eating cornbread in Xinjiang for more than 20 years could know what was going on in Hong Kong.
I definitely want a famous car and a famous brand. As for the most beautiful girl, Zhang Na is quite good-looking. If Brother Ye has money in the future, he will definitely go back and date her. Wouldn't it be nice to buy her many famous brands and give her a big brother so that she can hear her voice whenever she wants
"Brother Ye." Bai Peng's voice interrupted Li Muye's whims, "K761 will arrive in half an hour, and Li Chuang and the others have already queued up to wait. I want to go too, are you going? I'm going alone. They are afraid of being beaten by them and not getting a good job, so they won’t dare if we work together.”
In addition to making a living by begging and stealing, the homeless children who hang out at the train station all year round often do a decent job of carrying bags for passengers carrying heavy items. In those days, there were many merchants who traveled all over the country. Many self-employed people went directly to Guangzhou Baima Market to get goods, large and small bags, and they had to be dragged on and off the train by one person. When the street children see it, they go up to help, and usually they can get a meal of one or two yuan.
In order to make a living, Li Muye is far more passionate about this job than begging.
Life is like an all-encompassing teacher. As long as you are careful enough, you can always learn something from her, whether it is good or bad.
Li Muye is a sensitive and tough person, very good at observing and learning. Even if he cannot use the thousands of skills he has learned, it will not affect him from finding other jobs. Within a few days, I found some ways to do this job.
For example, when competing for work, those single women carrying goods are far less willing to take action than those young and strong men. If not forced by life, which woman would be willing to live such a life of traveling around to seek a living? Since life is difficult, it is natural to take money very seriously. Also, when you move something for someone, no matter how heavy it is, you must pick it up high and not let it touch the ground at all. You must know the transportation stations around the train station. You must also know the tricycles that are used for rentals. A few, bring business to them, and occasionally you can get a little benefit.
There are 360 top picks in every line, but top picks are in the minority after all. Some people can't become a contractor even after working as a bricklayer all their lives. It's not because they're not good at their craftsmanship or they're not good people, it's just because they don't care about the world's hearts.
Li Muye has been observing life's actions since he was very young. Some of his habits have been tempered by life and become his instincts. With this instinct, he can always earn more by helping passengers carry their bags. This is also an important reason why Bai Peng likes to hang out with him.
Not everyone can become a chicken-headed queen. Comparatively speaking, if you are not talented enough to be a team leader, it is actually not bad to be a cow-headed queen. As an old man at the station, Bai Peng was willing to hang out with Li Muye precisely because he was optimistic that Li Muye could lead him to a better life.
To be honest, Li Muye actually disliked Bai Peng a little bit. Although this boy is tall and thick, and looks like a Mongolian man, at heart he is an arrogant, impetuous, bully and afraid of the strong. It's just that a single tree does not make a forest, and a single thread does not make a thread. It is out of consideration for the Three Men to take him to play together.
Today, Li Muye was a little lazy, lying sideways under the heater, not wanting to go out to work no matter what Bai Peng said. He felt a little uneasy now, because the station police station had been setting up card patrols this morning to strictly check the passing passengers. It is inevitable that Li Muye, who has a guilty conscience, feels nervous.
Bai Peng was a little dissatisfied, "What's going on? Brother Ye doesn't want to give you face today. You don't like to move your stomach when you're full. Brother, I'm still hungry."
This is the characteristic of a mob. If the leader of the team cannot bring benefits to the team members, they will immediately overturn the table and destroy the pot.
Li Muye said: "My legs are growing on you. If you want to go, go by yourself. Wouldn't you be able to make a living without me in the past?"
Two policemen, a man and a woman, were walking towards this side. Li Muye had some bad premonitions, so he pretended to be calm and stood up unhurriedly, ready to escape at any time. Bai Peng mistakenly thought that he wanted to go to work. He let out a proud sigh, flashed his fist and said, "That's right. If Li Chuang and the others dare to mess with us, my fist will take care of it, and you will be responsible." When it comes to finding a job, we are the best partners."
Li Muye ignored him, stood up lazily, put his hands in his pockets, and swayed towards the entrance of the platform.
Suddenly, a female police officer called from behind: "Hey, those two kids in front of me, wait a minute."
Bai Peng ran away. This guy took a passerby and sold a semiconductor for fifteen yuan a few days ago. It wasn't a big deal, but he was even more courageous than Li Muye, who stabbed someone to escape. Li Muye stood motionless as the male policeman whizzed past him, his speed far surpassing that of Bai Peng. It was only a matter of time before he caught up with this kid.
This idiot is stupider than a pig. Li Muye cursed in his heart.
The female police officer came over and asked, "Child, are you from Coal City?"
Li Muye at least remained calm on the surface, or he thought he was relatively calm. He thought quickly in his mind that Coal City was his hometown. The female police officer asked this as soon as she came up, obviously prepared.
Something is not right.
"Forget it, guess it." Li Muye glanced at the policewoman, who looked less than thirty years old. He rubbed his nose and looked dirty: "Hello, police aunt, I come from the countryside of Coal City. , my father is in jail, there are many children at home, and my mother cannot afford to support them, so she asked me to come out to make a living."
Grandpa Taizu said that if we are passive, the enemy will take the initiative; if we are active, the enemy will be led by our noses. This is true for fighting, and the same is true for speaking. By initiating the topic first, we can avoid topics that we don’t want to talk about and can easily make us passive.
"I didn't ask you so many questions. Don't ramble on in vain. Just say whatever I asked you." The policewoman was not a vegetarian. She didn't follow Li Muye's routine at all and asked the question again.
Li Muye nodded in agreement without saying a single extra word.
The female police officer nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How old are you this year?"
"Fifteen years old." Li Muye deliberately lied about his two years old. Anyway, there is no ID card to verify, so it’s up to you to say whatever you want.
"It doesn't look like it." The policewoman said, "It's only thirteen at most."
"The family conditions are not good and the nutrition is not up to par. My classmates who are younger than me are all taller than me." Li Muye followed her words and rambled.
The policewoman hummed and asked again: "What's your name?"
Li Muye noticed from the corner of his eye that the male policeman had caught Bai Peng, and he deliberately loudly replied: "Daye, my name is Li Daye, and they usually call me Brother Ye."
"I just want to know your name. As for other nicknames, don't say anything." The female policeman ignored Li Muye and waved to the male policeman to bring Bai Peng over and asked: "What happened? Why? run?"
Bai Peng said: "When I saw that the government was afraid, I panicked and ran away."
"Thank you for being so bold and brave. With such little mental quality, you still dare to imitate other people's sneaky ways." The policewoman said with a confident look, "May I ask you, what is the name of this new kid you made?"
Li Muye's heart sank instantly.
At this time, the male policeman added: "There is a kid named Li Muye over there in Coal City who stabbed someone seriously. He has been in a coma for half a year due to brain damage. The matter is serious. The police are offering a reward for his arrest. This Li Muye, anyone who provides clues will be rewarded with a hundred yuan." (End of Chapter)
