Star of tomorrow

Ji Xing stayed with Aunt Liu for one night, and Aunt Liu asked him to stay at home, but he declined.

There is no money to pay for the bed, and no one dares to keep him, fearing that if he is dissatisfied, the police will be called.He had no choice but to drag his heavy steps, found a corner in the empty hall of the talent market, and sat on the floor.

There are many homeless people living in the hall, which smells bad, but it is much better than the Chase shop.

There is an oscillating fan found somewhere in the middle, blowing the wind whirringly, blowing the woven bags that people use to pad the floor loudly.

Ji Xing was very tired, but he didn't want to sleep, so he leaned against the wall with his pockets in his arms in a daze.He doesn't trust the people here, maybe his pocket will be stolen again while he is asleep, or something else unforeseen will happen, who knows?

He flipped through Moments, and the light from the screen shone on his face, showing a weak paleness.

There is harmony in the circle of friends, Su Changyu doesn’t know which nightclub he’s having fun with, there are dice and a few glasses of beautiful wine on the wine table, and other fox friends are either having a big meal, or being wandering souls at theme parties, or nesting Play games at home.

In the world on the other side of the screen, there seems to be no pain and despair, no darkness and injustice, only white and clean splendor.

The elder sister’s circle of friends is all about work, and there are occasional fashion shows, while the second brother’s circle of friends is full of photos of his youngest daughter—Ji Xing’s little niece, wearing a princess dress and holding her mother’s hand, with a bright smile on her face .

Mom's circle of friends is a mahjong table, and dad's circle of friends has no words all year round, very cold.

Ji Xing turned to his circle of friends, and a few days ago, his circle of friends was still a different scene.

As if it wasn't posted by me, now my state of mind is really different.

He turned to the photo with Sheng Yanjie. In front of his friend's private swimming pool, Sheng Yanjie hugged him and kissed him, while he smiled carefreely, with water droplets on the side of his face, reflecting the bright sunlight.Although the display time was set for three days, he still dug out all the things related to Sheng Yanjie and deleted them one by one.

After doing this, he put away his phone and looked up, suddenly seeing Qi Chen passing by the door.

Ji Xing didn't know what he was thinking, as if he had a guilty conscience, he immediately hid behind the artificial window with his pockets in his arms.

Holding the flashlight, Qi Chen scanned them one by one in the hall, and then walked further away.

Ji Xing pursed his lips, thinking: What are you still looking for?Didn't scold enough?

Standing across the street, Aunt Liu saw Qi Chen approaching and asked worriedly, "Did you find him?"

"No." Qi Chen said solemnly.

"You say you." Aunt Liu sighed, "He is an inexperienced child, and he didn't do it on purpose. Why are you so fierce?"

Qi Chen: "..."

"He has no money on him, otherwise he wouldn't come to me for a bowl of porridge. You haven't seen him so pitiful..." Aunt Liu covered her heart, "How can you be so cruel?"

Qi Chen frowned: "He has no money to pay back..."

He wanted to say how could he buy a bunch of things without money?But Aunt Liu was staring at him, so he had to shut up.

Since it was getting more and more wrong, Qi Chen had no choice but to change the subject: "I've searched the warehouse and the talent market, where else can he go?"

"Maybe let's go." Aunt Liu said, "It's fine to go, this place is not suitable for him."

Qi Chen looked back again. The dusty talent market building was like a silent monster, squatting in the night, looking at him indifferently.

gone?

It's okay to really leave.

The corners of Qi Chen's mouth twitched, thinking of Ji Xing's bluffing, although it was a bit noisy, it was rare for him to feel fresh popularity.

He didn't know what it was like for a moment, he turned his head and led Aunt Liu who was still chattering away.

The next day, Ji Xing hardly closed his eyes all night, carrying his pockets to find a job posting small advertisements.

The sun was shining at noon, he was wearing a white vest, beach pants, and hole shoes, and he was holding a blue pocket with the advertisement "X letter" printed on it. "Upgrade to 200 megabytes for free", was running out of breath with his "accomplice".

They rushed across the bridge,

Walking through the crowded vegetable market, his nose was filled with all kinds of stench, he and his "accomplice" hid in the crowd separately, the Crocs couldn't run fast, the shoes were thrown off several times, and the white and tender feet were blackened , the calves were splashed with sewage from the vegetable market.

Ji Xing only felt extremely disgusting in his heart, but he didn't have time to scrub. He turned his head and kept looking at the entrance of the vegetable market. After making sure that no one was chasing him, he was relieved, took off his hat and used it as a fan.

This money is too hard to earn, too hard.

In the blue pocket he was carrying were a lot of small advertisements, covering everything: unblocking sewers, installing network cables, repairing air conditioners, delivering boxed lunches... and a small box of paste and brushes.

It is not difficult to post things, but it is rare to be chased by urban management, property management, cleaners, aunts of the neighborhood committee and many other people, and even be kicked out by dogs.

Ji Xing was stunned for a while in front of the fish stall, watching a fish leaning sideways and struggling to squeeze against the edge of the water basin, and then slowly turned over, revealing its snow-white belly.

wow-

The fish seller fished out the dead fish and threw it into an empty basin on the side. The stray cat approached cautiously with its tail upright. As soon as it lay down on the edge of the basin, the fish seller threw a head of water and exploded. He ran away with his tail behind his ears.

"Handsome, what kind of fish to buy?"

Ji Xing was brought back to his senses by the rough yelling, waved his hand and left with his bag.

I don't have money for lunch, and I'm too embarrassed to go to Aunt Liu's place for lunch, so I can only wait until the evening to settle my wages.

He rubbed his stomach, walked slowly through the alley, and continued to post small advertisements in places where no one was around.

Sweat slowly slid down the back of his neck, itching so much that he reached out to wipe it off, and his dirty little hand immediately left five fingerprints on the back of his neck.

His fair skin had been tanned a bit and had begun to turn a wheat color.

A stray dog ​​on the side of the road ran past with its tail between its legs. It looked like it had just lost a fight with other dogs for territory.

A few children laughed and ran past him, bumping him into a stagger.

Before he came back to his senses, the jingling bicycle bell sounded behind him. It was extremely ear-piercing, with a rusty scratching sound. Ji Xing subconsciously raised his hands to cover his ears, and while evading to the side, the bicycle rubbed against him. His arms whizzed past, and the people in the car stretched out their hands and pulled the pocket from his hand.

Ji Xing was taken a few steps forward in an instant, and immediately became angry when he came back to his senses—in broad daylight, everyone really thinks he is easy to bully!

He insisted on not letting go, and sprinted along with the car, raising his foot and kicking at the rear wheel of the car.

"parking!"

The car was kicked to the side, and the people in the car were unstable. Ji Xing took the opportunity to grab a utility pole on the street, and the reaction force brought the people in the car down, and fell a little hard.

The old bicycle fell to the side, the wheels were spinning, and the tattered bicycle bell was smashed and rolled a meter away along the ground.

Ji Xing panted heavily, a big hole was torn out of the pocket, and the small advertisements inside were scattered all over the floor like a goddess.

The other party saw what was in his pocket at a glance, and even gave a very dissatisfied "tsk".

Doesn't that look like a bad idea? !

He walked a few steps forward with a stinky face, only then did he realize that it was a... child?

The other party was dirty and his face was dark. He got up from the ground and blew on the scratched skin on the palm of his hand. He didn't seem to feel much pain. He raised his eyes and looked at Ji Xing gloomyly.

Ji Xing felt chills all over his body from that look, stopped on his feet, frowned and said, "Why did you rob me?"

The child was skinny, rubbed his nose, and didn't intend to answer, turned around and picked up the car to leave.

"Hey! Stop!" Ji Xing chased forward a few steps, and the child got on the bike and slipped away quickly.

The children who bumped into Ji Xing just now looked around at the intersection in front of them, and their eyes on Shang Ji Xing immediately disappeared noisily.

Ji Xing knew that there used to be a lot of child labor near Fu Sanyou, and he didn't know if these children were related to those factories.

He heard from Aunt Liu that these children have come out to work after graduating from junior high school, and they have almost no education. He didn't feel much before, but now he feels very shocked.

.

In broad daylight, gang crimes, robbery?

He lowered his eyes, and only then did he notice that the flesh near his fingernails had split due to too much force on the pole.The ten fingers connected to the heart, the slight tingling accompanied by the hot feeling was very uncomfortable.

At noon, there were not many people on the small street. Ji Xing picked up the small advertisements that had been scattered all the way, and found a place to post them slowly. He was absent-minded. When the danger was approaching, there was a roar like a bell , the whole person shivered in shock.

"You! What are you doing!" An old man rushed over with a broom in his hands, "It was cleaned the day before yesterday, and you guys are here again! It's endless, isn't it? Stop! Don't run!"

Ji Xing was startled, and got up and ran away before he could react.

There are banners hanging on the small street, which read "Green waters and lush mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains" and "Protecting the environment starts with you and me". After taking two steps, I remembered that there were paste boxes and brushes on the ground, and ran back to grab them.

As a result, I got my hands full of paste and wiped it on my clothes.

Ji Xing: "..."

Before Ji Xing turned the corner, he was blocked by people. The gray-haired man beat his legs with a broom. Advertisements are not allowed! Didn’t you see the sign!”

"I'm sorry, isn't that right... Ouch!" Ji Xing jumped and hid, and the thin broom drew a red mark on his calf.

"I'm leaving now, sir! Master!" Ji Xing yelled, "It hurts! Stop hitting me! I'm going to sue you for personal injury!"

"Sue me?" The uncle suddenly became angry and became more energetic, "You still sue me? I haven't sued you yet! What is pasted all over the wall? Do you know how much effort it will take to remove it? Let you post it! Let you stick blindly!"

Ji Xing ran forward while jumping, and saw Qi Chen who came back from buying vegetables. He hesitated for less than a second before shouting for help: "Qi Chen——!!"

Qi Chen's feet stopped, Ji Xing's jumping, from a distance, he really looked like a lively lamb.

Obviously the other party slammed the door away angrily yesterday, and he didn't know where he spent the night. Hearing what Aunt Liu said, he was crying and feeling wronged, but at this moment... how can he be seen as half wronged and depressed? ?

It's better to say... quite energetic?
