The world is cool

I have fantasized about the moment I stepped out of prison in many ways.

For example, I ran straight to the main road and roared at the passing vehicles, did you see, I am free!Another example, viciously showing the middle finger to the armed police on the sentry post, if you have the ability, you can shoot again?Or, take out the demeanor of Lao Jiang in the Xi'an Incident, and run all the way to the top of the mountain to vent the ecstasy in your heart!There are also unpromising versions, like scratching the iron door and crying bitterly.In short, the ups and downs of emotion are the main picture of these fantasies.

But the truth is, I'm at peace.

Even in the past few years, it has never been as peaceful as it is now.

I stared blankly at the sky, like Huahua has done countless times, watching the birds flying in groups, watching the sparrows jumping from one branch to another.I know that this is the most important moment in my life so far and maybe even in the future. I should have some indescribable feelings, and I should have some meaningful life emotions, but helplessly, my brain is really blank.

I stood on the side of the road in a daze, this is the only road leading to the city, but what about life?In prison, I don’t have to worry about the meaning of survival. I only need to go to work, eat, leave work, and sleep on time every day.Now I finally got rid of that cage, and finally got the freedom I dreamed of, but suddenly lost my direction.

Countless vehicles passed by my eyes, and they had no interest in a bewildered prisoner who had just been released from prison.

I wanted to stretch out my arm to stop the car, but I retracted it halfway through.

I have no money.

"You're so annoying," a lazy voice suddenly came from behind, "I've been squatting here waiting all morning, shouldn't I come out in the morning."

I turned around sharply, and a striking figure wrapped in a military overcoat came into view.The clothes were too big, and they were dragged directly to the floor. They hadn't been washed for many years, and they were so dirty that the original green color could hardly be seen. There were even holes in several places, exposing the black cotton.If it weren't for a familiar head protruding from it, I would have thought that the military coat had grown up.

"You didn't pick it up from a garbage dump, did you?" I poked the cloth surface twice with my fingertips in disgust, "or is it that retro nostalgia is popular in the market now?"

"Fuck you," Rong Kai got angry, and opened my hand, "You try to sleep here for half a month, without this thing, you will be frozen to death!"

It was only then that I noticed that Rong Kai's little face was flushed, not from anger, but from cold. Several places were a little dry and cracked, and not far away, in the lee of a simple retail store, there were several cardboards. It was a temporary shed, vaguely as if there were a few people sleeping in it covered with tattered quilts.

I want to ask where do you live?But I can't ask.It was as if something was blocking my throat, preventing the vocal cords from vibrating.I took a deep breath and suppressed the discomfort in my heart. After a long time, I managed to make a sound: "Why don't you go to your classmate?"

Rong Kai cut it, and said carelessly: "I found it, someone took me in for half a month, and then his wife didn't like it, so I thought we shouldn't be so ungrateful, so I rolled up two gold necklaces and said Run away."

A gust of cold wind blew by, and I finally realized what it means to be messy in the wind...

"You fucking tell me again what you took?!"

"What the hell are you calling?" The little lunatic rubbed his ear with the sleeve of the cotton coat that had been buried, "Didn't I return it later, because I was afraid you had too many things to do!"

I frowned suspiciously: "Really?"

The little lunatic had a red face: "Nonsense, otherwise he would give me 100 yuan so easily? This is called a thank you fee!"

I'll help the forehead, Nima, that's okay too? !

"Your classmate is definitely a dick, so why not break up with you?"

I meant it as a joke, but I didn't want the little lunatic to shrug his shoulders indifferently, and said calmly: "It's absolutely impossible, so I really have no place to go now. I thought I could get away with it by hanging out for two days and playing tricks." Going back, hehe..."

The little lunatic is very childish when he smiles, especially the two dimples, which are attractive.

I kind of like seeing him smile, but not now.

Pulling the man over with the military overcoat, regardless of the bad smell and the dust all over his body, I actually put my arms around Rong Kai's neck and hugged him closer: "I think of a trick for my brother, how do we go back?"

The little lunatic glanced at me confidently, and opened his mouth: "Don't worry, I have a nirvana."

The two prisoners stopped the car on the side of the road, the success rate can be imagined, so Rong Kai didn't do this useless work, but asked the proprietress of the roadside small shop to help stop it.The proprietress is not too bad, I guess she and Rong Kai have seen each other these days, so she helped me with this little favor.

About ten minutes later, after being poisoned by countless car exhausts, the proprietress finally managed to stop a logistics company's truck.The owner of the car was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a beard on his face. He looked at us after listening to the proprietress's narration, and he was quite troubled: "You have also seen that my car is small and drives slowly. I don't know what time it is in the city, besides..."

My heart skipped a beat, I couldn't run away after stopping such a person.I was organizing my language and thinking about how to connect us, when I heard the little lunatic ask bluntly: "How much do you want?"

The driver was stunned, thinking that he had never done such a thing before, and asked after a long time, "You guys, how much can I give you?"

"Sixty." The little lunatic didn't even think about it, "If you don't pull us, you have to go back, so why not do it?"

The driver scratched his beard, still a little hesitant.

"One hundred," the little lunatic didn't give him time to think about it, "it's okay, if not, we'll find another car right away, and don't waste your time."

"Hey, don't," the driver saw that the little madman was in a hurry, and he was also in a hurry, and immediately made a decision, "One hundred is one hundred!"

Anyway, I just got into the car in a daze, and drove in a daze, before I could figure out what was going on.

After driving two miles away, the driver remembered and asked, "I said, are you two rich? Don't fool me."

This question really stopped me. One of the characteristics of a guilty conscience is unsteady breathing.

Unexpectedly, after fumbling around for a long time, the little lunatic actually produced a pink leader and said to the driver: "Don't worry this time, I'll give it to you when I get off the bus."

The driver shrugged and said nothing more.

The little lunatic gave him a blank look, and then stuffed the crumpled bill back into the lining of his clothes.He moved very carefully, as if any weight would knock off the edge of the precious banknote.

I turned my head to look out the window, hoping that the bare mountain scenery would dispel the pain in my heart.

His classmate gave him 100 yuan.

He lived like a tramp at the gate of the prison for half a month.

He is that clever little lunatic who can solve proof problems.

"No matter what you do for a living in the future, I'm sure I can be of great help anyway, so you should reserve a room for me to live in your house, preferably on a sunny side..."

I smiled, turned around and wanted to pinch his face, but I couldn't hold back when I saw the blush, and said happily, "What memory do you have, didn't you say that the house is going to be sold for money?"

The little lunatic blinked twice, then suddenly slapped his forehead: "I'm dizzy, I'm freezing, how could I forget this?"

The three-seater of the big truck is very crowded, the driver is on the left, I am on the right, and the little madman sits in the middle.Seeing the driver's arm scratching him as soon as he shifted gears, I simply hugged him and let him lie on my lap: "I don't think he's cold or sleepy. I haven't slept well for a while." They all became pandas. up.

"Try to live in the northwest wind with the sky as your roof..." The little lunatic grumbled, but the man obediently lay still.

After a while, even breathing came from the knees.

I sighed, and unconsciously raised my hand to stroke his hair.I don't know how long I haven't washed it, it's full of dirt, but I still insist, one stroke, another stroke, and gently comb out the knotted place.

Even Huahua has grown up, but this guy is still no different from the one I saw when I first came in.

She's obviously a baby in her late thirties.

I think maybe the prison can stop time in addition to imprisoning the body.

The driver looked at me twice, then at the sleeping lunatic, and asked in a low voice, "Your brother? Come to pick you up from prison?"

I was stunned for two seconds, then smiled and nodded: "Well, this is my second brother."

As the driver said, his car was really slow, and it was almost evening when it arrived in the city.

The little lunatic gave him the money, and he took a long time to get back ten yuan, and said awkwardly, um, I will make a bus for you two.

The little lunatic didn't pretend, just accepted it, and then smiled brightly, Uncle, you are quite interesting.

There are people coming and going on the street, and the clothes I wear have not changed much from before I went in. In April, they are nothing more than cotton-padded down jackets.But the city has indeed changed from the old to the new. I remember that this place used to be a dirt street, but according to the driver just now, it has become one of the busiest business districts in the city.

"Don't look at it," the little lunatic came to pull me, "Our top priority now is to go back to your house to stay for one night, and then find an intermediary to register and sell the house tomorrow. As for how wonderful the world is, I have plenty of time to show you."

makes sense.

The little lunatic is always the most pragmatic, and the whole NO.17 is willing to bow down in this regard.So I let him pull me towards the bus stop.

"How many buses can you take from here to your house?"

"608, it's just back then, who knows if it's changed now..."

"By the way, do you have the key?"

"Ah."

It was brought to me by the old man when he visited the prison. I lost my own when I entered the detention center. I vaguely remember that it was confiscated, but there is no such thing as returning it.The one brought by the old man is new, with jagged teeth and cut hands. Yu Qingzhou let me take a look at it, and then said to help me keep it. This tube lasts for five years.

Facts have proved that the development of the city is really fast, 608 has become a fast 7, but the route is still the same.

About 10 minutes or so, we arrived at the entrance of the community. The moment we got off the bus, the familiar scenery around us suddenly gave me the illusion of going back in time.

"What floor is your house on?" Rong Kai asked suddenly when he walked downstairs.

"[-]." I replied without raising my head, and stepped into the entrance of the building with one foot.This is an old-fashioned community, and the corridors are not blocked by iron gates or anything.

"Hey," Rong Kai chased after him, "I can see the lights on the fourth floor."

I climbed the two steps together, and the speed was slow: "The glass in my house has to go around to the back to look at it, don't worry about it."

Rong Kai curled his lips and said nothing more.

The familiar anti-theft door came into view, and there were traces of the paint that I smashed with stones when I was naughty.The difference is that countless small advertisements are pasted on the door, for unlocking, toilet repairing, certificate application, and medical treatment, densely packed on the entire surface, making the door look like paper. of.

"It's very kind of you," the little lunatic sighed suddenly, "you can still get such a large inheritance."

My black line, if I didn't know that his words are not brain-like, I could kick him down from the fourth floor!

Taking a deep breath, I took out the key and opened the door.

The little madman folded his arms and waited patiently.

The key went in, but it wouldn't turn.

I frowned and tried harder, left, right, even up and down, but I couldn't twist it.

I don't want to scold, but, old man, which unreliable key are you looking for!

"What's wrong?" The little lunatic also noticed something was wrong.

I sighed and pulled out the key: "It won't work, maybe the key isn't matched properly."

"Would you like to push harder?" The little lunatic looked like he wanted to help me push harder.

I laughed angrily: "If you twist it again, it will break the inside."

The little lunatic curled his lips, and was about to say something more, when there was a vague voice from the inside of the anti-theft door: "Who—"
