Chapter 167 Going Astray

When life is unwilling to let you go, your all kinds of forbearance will be like boiling magma wrapped deep in the ground. From the initial sulphurous gas to the gradual brewing and fermentation, it will finally erupt forcibly after a day.

——Before that fatal critical strike, no one can predict the size of the damage.

While carrying passengers on motorcycles, I thought about gradually accumulating some experience: I don’t have a fixed stop, and I drive around on motorcycles. If I’m lucky, I can pick up passengers one after another. I didn’t take a few trips in the urban area, not to mention wasting energy, and wasting gasoline. Compared with the two, I wanted to be like other motorcycle drivers, so I chose a spot to squat down.

The inland sea divides the city into the north and south sides. Before the Bay Bridge was built, the two sides could only rely on the passenger ships of the square ferry. The south bank was the settlement of "foreign businessmen" when the city was opened. The scenery is beautiful, the mountains stretch, and the ancient buildings The bungalows, gardens and pavilions, standing in the jungle, later became the business card of the scenic spot of the city of course, and tourists from the city or nearby places often visit it.

The endless stream of tourists makes the ferry section crowded and bustling. In the eyes of people in the "starved to death and no part-time jobs" in the Ushio area, these surging people are really business opportunities for walking. Therefore, in the early 90s, the largest clothing wholesaler in the Ushio area The market settled here, bringing the commercial development of this area to a higher level.

There is a large flow of people, so the demand for transportation is very important. The public transportation facilities in the urban area are weak, and most people are used to driving their own motorcycles. Therefore, tricycles and motorcycles, which are cheap and friendly to the people, have a lot of room for survival in this area.

After careful deliberation and selection of the final point, even if the security is a bit complicated, at least the daily passenger flow is guaranteed.

It is almost inevitable that a strange individual will break into a half-formed industry area and cause hostility. If there are more people who share the food, there will be less weight on everyone's heads. The workers of the lower class can Those who put aside their face to solicit customers for a living value the penny and three cents of income more than anything else. In the first few days when they came here, the motorcycle drivers at the ferry port were not friendly to this young man who appeared out of nowhere. Serious hostility is exposed, and minor ones are just watching with cold eyes. Whenever there is a conflict, no one will say a word for him.

But Shengzai Bian thinks that he has been fascinated by his father since he was a child, and he has insight into human relationships and world affairs, and he probably has a bit of talent in the world. In the past, everyone rushed to please the young master of the Bian family but he had no chance to show it. Now he has undergone changes. After the baptism, the edges and corners are rounded, and they also begin to know how to judge the situation and advance or retreat.

The pressure is high, and the craving for cigarettes also grows, but in order to save money, he will deliberately control the amount, and he will only take one to satisfy his cravings when he can't hold it back. Naturally, he can't afford good cigarettes like before, but just that This time, he woke up early, bought soft Zhonghua at a roadside store, and came to the ferry port.

It was still early, and only a few sporadic motorcycle drivers came here. They were the ones whose families were under financial pressure and who worked hardest in getting up and running in the dark. I was surprised to see that even a child came early.

For the first time, there are mountains to worship mountains and gods to worship gods.

While thinking about smiling, he handed cigarettes and lighters and called his uncle to come down. His attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and he added a few sweet words in his words to the "tragedy situation" of orphans and widows. Most of the people also agreed. Eliminates hostility.

No one doesn't like sensible children, they all come out to earn a living, not a gangster who collects protection fees by enclosing land and districts, since children are sensible and pleasing to the eye, let him, and the others who came over one after another later The drivers also started talking and laughing with the integration.

The establishment of friendship between men is easy to say, and it is not difficult to say that it is difficult. It is pleasing to the eye, smoky, blowing the bottle, and then it is almost all done. Thinking about it, I just squatted down at the ferry terminal.The motorcycle drivers all thought this young man was very interesting, and he had a natural sense of adaptability to social affairs. He was supposed to blush at the age of a dirty word, but he had an all-round posture. The heavy pressure seemed to really force people out. Seeing the infinite potential, he had some funny intentions, and said a few words if he had nothing to do.

Thinking that he would not be too annoyed by these innocuous ridicules, he locked up the boxes of expensive clothes. The limited-edition high-end sports shoes full of vigor were also shelved, and a pair of Air Force One with a long history looked like Putian goods with frayed edges, and then went to the side of the road with a round-shaven haircut. It smells like a young boy.It was the string of wooden beads and the watch on his wrist that never left his body, which made him exude such a different taste among a group of rough men.

"Little classmate, your watch is not bad, isn't it?" After getting acquainted with his face, he became more comfortable getting along with him. On Saturday afternoon, when he came after dinner, a big and thick motorcycle driver came over and stared at him. He pointed his wrist, "Where did you buy it? My kid has been annoying lately. He always uses his mobile phone to check the time. The mobile phone is so expensive. Why don't you just buy a watch!"

Thinking that he was leaning on the handlebars and distracted, when he heard the words, he raised his eyes and looked over. When he first arrived at the ferry, this person was one of the people who watched with indifference. He was not very hostile, but he was not the first to pick up his cigarette. At this time, the man was staring at his watch with almost greedy eyes.

Traditional German watches with complex craftsmanship, even if the design is simple, are still low-key and luxurious.

While trying to figure out the meaning of the man's words, deduced from his behavior of passing cigarettes that he wants to calm things down, and only then did he point it out.

In the past, he would be absolutely annoyed that his things were coveted so bluntly, but now——

He smiled, held his wrist and wrapped the watch in his palm, with a nonchalant expression on his face: "It's not bad, right? I like it too. My dad gave it to me before he left. I saw it on the pedestrian street last time. It's more expensive, 25 yuan each, if you like it, I'll take you to have a look?"

Speaking of this, the man couldn't say anything more, he laughed twice, and then exaggerated a few words about his father's vision.The young man only mentioned that there is a widowed mother at home, but he didn't go into details about how he was "widowed". Now that he talked about it, he found out that his father is still alive. In this way, a complex family ethics movie plot is about to come out, and the man touches it Touching his nose, he backed away.

Seeing that he had dismissed the idea, he felt relieved after thinking about it. The wrist watch and boxwood bracelet felt delicate in the palm of his hand. He looked down at them, slightly lost in thought.

Shen Yunjia's pregnancy is getting longer, and the symptoms of swollen legs and feet have already appeared. Although Shen Yunjia said that it is a normal symptom during pregnancy, it is good to pay attention to diet and exercise, but he dare not take it lightly, and dare not let her have any more symptoms. I worked hard, but fortunately, the summer vacation is approaching, and the boarding class is also over.

But in this way, the family's income has decreased again, and people often hear that people can't afford to be sick, and they dare not go to places like hospitals. The little money he has saved in the past few months is not enough. It was not enough for Shen Yunjia to give birth in the hospital smoothly.

"Uncle, won't it cost a lot for this child to be born?" While trying to pass the cigarette over, he tentatively inquired about the news.

There just happened to be a few motorcycle drivers who had a new baby in their family not long ago and laughed, and one of them said, "What do you mean a lot of flowers! When this child is born—oh, no, no, no! Start spending money before birth! The mother-in-law at home has to pay for her health, the hospital expenses for various purposes, milk powder money, it’s all a bottomless pit——No, boy, you only worry about this when you’re young? When you grow up a girl doll stomach?"

Someone next door interrupted him with a smile and cursing, "My mother is about to give birth to a bunch of eggs! Do you have any brains!"

A group of people laughed and made noises, and taught him a lot of experience as someone who had been there. After eating, they hid in the shade of a tree to shade the sun, and the pack of cigarettes they were about to hand out basically bottomed out after a circle, and finally passed back There was one cigarette left alone in the pack.

He raised his eyebrows and looked forward calmly. The only person in the group who didn't pick up the cigarette seemed to be watching him all the time. When he passed by, the two of them immediately met. He tilted his head, snorted softly, and lay down on the motorcycle chair cushion.

While thinking about it, he smiled nonchalantly, bit out the cigarette and lit it, and then the crumpled cigarette case drew a curve in the air, and fell perfectly into the roadside trash can a few meters away.

Not everyone likes him, but that's okay, he doesn't need everyone's kindness.

"You doll is not easy for your mother, but why don't you study hard and find a better job in the future? When the time comes, you will wear a suit and tie and stay comfortably in the air-conditioned room, looking at ease! It's much stronger to find a crime in the rain!"

Pu Shan's big hand moved over his shoulder to greet him, and almost slapped the smoke out of his mouth. He wanted to cough twice, squeezed the filter head and gave the other party a bitter face.

"Brother, you all know that you have to study. If I don't come out to run, will the tuition fees for the next semester be thrown out of the ground?"

What these people know about him is that he picks and chooses to tell the truth, for no other reason than to act for the sake of cheapness.

So everyone knows that there is a high school student working hard for tuition fees among the drivers of motorcycles - a minor driving without a license.

"It's not good for this small broken place in the city! We have worked so hard to travel all over the city outside, working so hard on this little income every month, and it's cold in winter and rainy in summer. A cousin of mine lives in Pengcheng. Going to work, from [-] to [-] every day, air-conditioning and heating are all equipped, if you are thirsty and hungry, you can have coffee, milk, cakes and desserts as you want, and you can eat as much as you want. The salary is even higher than our one-month business without sleep! Hey! It's better to study!"

So a group of people scrambled to list a pile of examples of "it's better to study".

When waiting for guests in their spare time, they often gather together to pass the time by talking nonsense.

In the half-laughing, half-grievous sigh, he thought about not making any more noise, staring at his wrist with a slightly dazed expression: Look, even these motorcycle drivers whose average education is less than a junior high school level know that only by studying can they get ahead. , in order to live a decent life from nine to five...

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, but the pier ushered in the first batch of tourists who had visited Haidenggao in the early morning on the weekend. Wheel carts squeezed forward and hawked cold drink popsicles and frozen watermelons loudly. The sound of waves crashing on the embankment, the sound of cars on the side of the road, the laughter of children, and the shouts of old people brought together the hustle and bustle of the summer afternoon. Colorful straw hats and parasols fluttered in the crowd, making people's eyes dazzled.

Private cars, taxis, motorcycles, bicycles, and tricycles gather together. The traffic police in this section are much tougher than other areas. It is common to work overtime on weekends to ease the flow of people and traffic, let alone rest.

The traffic police controlling the road section came from a distance, and the motorcycle drivers who had been chatting loosely and waiting for passengers quickly sat up straight, and some of them parked their cars in the middle of the road and quickly pushed them away.Although there is no instruction from above, as long as they do not affect the traffic, the traffic police will not embarrass them, but an illegal operation is an illegal operation, the prefix is ​​there, and most people see people in uniform—whether they are traffic police or auxiliary police ——Everyone will subconsciously get nervous, especially a certain underage unlicensed driver.

Thinking about keeping his legs on the ground, he took a few steps back with the car and took advantage of the burly figure of the big brother next door to cover himself.

"Officer Li, have you eaten yet?" Suddenly someone shouted from here, it was the person who just refused and wanted to pass a cigarette.

While thinking about it, his eyelids twitched, and when he looked towards him, he happened to catch his crooked smile, that smile was full of bright intentions, when he saw it, he wanted to look over, and then turned his head to face the person who was two steps closer. Officer Li waved his hand, "It's really hard work for you guys! Not to mention getting up early every day in the dark, and rushing to stand on the main road to breathe exhaust during the most congested time—"

Officer Li saw that he was a familiar face, so he walked over a few steps. Seeing this, the man hurriedly took out cigarettes and lighters from his pockets and put them together, but they were still well-hidden and reluctant to smoke.

He was thinking that the big black shark on the pedal was too conspicuous in the crowd of Wuyang, CG, and Suzuki, and he clearly noticed that Officer Li paid extra attention to him.

While thinking about it, his face sinks into water.

When Police Officer Li approached, he was about to turn the key, and with a bang of the gas pedal, he slipped out from behind without a sound.

That afternoon, thinking about not going back to the ferry pier, I walked around the street a few times, wandering like a guerrilla. Fortunately, there were many people traveling on weekends, and the harvest was not bad.

After five o'clock, he happened to be driving someone to the vicinity of Luzhong. His phone vibrated in his trouser pocket. When he opened it, it was a text message from Yu Jinle. I just finished my work and wanted to leave.

After thinking about it for a while, he drove the car to the school gate, and just after greeting the uncle in the security room, he saw a familiar figure rushing out of the teaching building.

"Why are you here!" Yu Jinle's eyes lit up when he saw him, and without being polite to him at all, he jumped on the back seat of the motorcycle in a flash, "Is there no shift at night?"

While thinking "Yo", "What are you doing? Did you say that you were picked up?"

It was a hot day, and relying on the broken fans in the classroom couldn't cool down, so Yu Jinle pushed back his damp bangs, pretended not to hear his fault, and pointed forward, "Go!" Let's go! Go home, go home!"

Thinking of falling in love with his flamboyant little temper that he only showed to himself, and thinking that after two years of training, he was no longer timid, so he patted Jin Le's calf, "Put your legs away, gone!"

Yu Jinle put her head behind his shoulder, and said unyieldingly: "Are you going to work tonight? Shall I go to accompany you?"

Yu Jinle still thought he was working at KFC, so he didn't say much about it, but since he was caught at night last time, the intimacy between the two Straight up, the thin paper did not pierce, but became a cover for the two to pretend.

——they can approach each other pretending to know nothing.

While thinking about it, he didn't want to explain, "I'm sneaking around for a while, you have a lot of questions, don't come at night, wait for me at home, and bring you something to eat."

Yu Jinle raised his head, knocked his chin on his shoulder, moved it inward, and the hot air sprayed up to his ears, he opened his mouth against the wind and let out a long "ah", he was so stupid.

"Shut up!" I was angry and funny as I thought about it, there was nothing I could do about him, "Don't go home with a bellyful of wind and get scolded by your aunt for not being able to eat at night!"

Yu Jinle hid behind him, and continued, "Don't bring it for me. We'll go out for supper. I don't even know what I want to eat. Don't try to arrange it for me!"

He poked his back while thinking, his voice sounded muffled from behind, and he thought about laughing in front, "Okay! Then you wait for me."

After sending Yu Jinle home, he pressed the time to return to the ferry port. There were only two or three sparse motorcycles left in the waiting area of ​​the motorcycles. They went out and haven't come back yet, the rest of them are all connected to night trains, and the man who refuses to smoke is among them.

Thinking that he didn't go to the waiting area, but waited quietly behind the bus stop sign, smoked two cigarettes, and smugly pondered the skin of his face in the rearview mirror for a long time, until the man was taken to the bus and set off. Only then did he start the big black shark and followed.

The two cars headed towards the west industrial area one after the other. The big black shark chased Nanzhuang Wuyang, but the horsepower was at a disadvantage. Fortunately, the other party kept a steady speed of [-] mph all the way. When they arrived at the destination, it was almost dark It got dark.

The small roads in the industrial area are narrow and complicated. Most of the work is closed on weekends, and there are few people. The entire industrial park is quiet, except for the afterglow of the setting sun that dyes the earth a bloody red.

While thinking about parking the big black shark at a distance, he took out the peaked cap from the trunk storage box, put it on and lowered the brim of the cap, and strode towards the other party.

The man collected the money, counted the right number, and was stuffing it on his body. Suddenly, the shadow under his feet flickered, and he was violently pulled off the motorcycle, and rolled onto the gravel of the trail in the blink of an eye.

"Ah—" He thought he was being robbed, but then the call stopped abruptly, and he looked at the young man on top of him in horror.

"You, you, you—" The face under the brim of the hat is not unfamiliar, and it is precisely because it is not unfamiliar that the huge contrast with the usual makes him even more nervous. He swallows his saliva up and down, but the next second, A metal object was stuck in the throat.

The boy's face under the peaked cap, when he was grinning, he could see the innocence and straightforwardness of a high school student, but now his face is gloomy, and the corners of his lips are drooping. , exuding a bone-piercing ruthlessness, like an awl that can stab people to death.

The man trembled and didn't dare to make any big moves. Seeing him chatting and laughing with others on weekdays, he thought he was a naive kid who didn't know much about the world. He was probably a minor living in a difficult family life. Carrying passengers, this kind of person has short-sightedness and is the most vulnerable to be bullied, so he didn't pay attention to him, but he never thought that he would make a big mistake just by doing it now, and he was so shocked that he lay on the ground and trembled.

It landed with a loud clang, and the man realized that the metal object that poked him just now was just a bunch of keys—he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that a child is just a child, so he dared to use the keychain to bluff people.He coughed twice with difficulty, put his upper body on his elbows, and pulled a false smile on his face, "Yes, is there some misunderstanding——"

Then he stopped laughing.

He wanted to bend his knees, press against the opponent's chest firmly, and pin him firmly to the ground. Then he pressed down on his right shoulder, opened his five fingers on his right hand, and gradually tightened the tiger's mouth stuck in his throat.

The man couldn't struggle at all. Compared with the tall boy who was at the peak of development and had amazing energy, the typical southern body shape was like a tree fly. Out of breath, the man's eyes were bulging and bloodshot with fear, which reflected the stern face of the young man.

"Keep a thread in everything you do." Just when the man's eyes were dizzy, and the colorful lights were flickering on his retina, he heard the boy's cold voice. The northern accent, at the moment when he was on the verge of death, sounded particularly eerie, "Uncle, you are already so old, why are you still so ignorant?"

He called people politely and thoughtfully, and used honorifics, but the content of his words was completely opposite to the style of addressing honorifics.

"If you don't know how to advance and retreat, if you meet a lunatic anytime—"

The street lamp shot from above his head, and the coarse gravel scraped dull painful bloodstains on his face and every inch of exposed skin on his body. The man's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, pain and suffocation accompanied by fear The illusion brought about made his eyes heavy. In the mottled vision, he could only vaguely see the young man's mouth carelessly tilted up at an angle. This is a smile that cannot be called a smile, but it is full in this short The malicious pause of a few seconds created the effect of infinite horror and imagining, "Then it's hard to say what happens next."

There was disbelief in the man's eyes, he still didn't seem to believe that this sunny-looking boy in his teens dared to do substantial harm to him,

He turned his mind a few times, and let out a "drinking" panting sound from his throat, trying to pull out a "friendly" smile to persuade the boy to let him go.

Soon, he couldn't laugh anymore, because the boy said, "I'm quite familiar with the land of Guiyuan Elementary School. Uncle, you seem to live nearby, right? The child goes to school nearby, so it's very convenient to pick up and drop off—— "

The man's pupils shrank!

The malice conveyed by the young man in a few words cut through layers of flesh like a knife blade, and pierced the man's heart. He jerked violently like a convulsion, and his eyes were about to burst. At the same time, he suddenly realized that he had not only eaten for nothing. Decades of work, but also a pair of eyes to see people in vain——

This young man is not as upright and harmless as one may see at first glance, on the contrary, he always compares pennies and vengeance.

The man suddenly struggled, but this time he didn't feel too embarrassed, he let go of his hand quickly, a large amount of air suddenly poured into the trachea, causing a violent cough, and he fell on the ground with trembling hands and feet, feeling like he just walked out of hell. Come back to the world in a circle.

The demon got up from the ground, patted the sand between his fingers, and patted the man's face, "You know what I mean, forget it this time, please don't give me a second chance to mark people, my time is precious , I don’t want to make unnecessary waste.”

He looked down at him for ten seconds, the man shivered, shrank into a ball and didn't dare to look at him at all, he twitched the corners of his mouth with a fake smile, then bent over to pick up the keychain on the ground, turned and left .

The figure of the young man leaving left an indelible shadow on the man, he suddenly understood a truth, some people don't make troubles doesn't mean they are timid and timid, if they treat you kindly, it is because he is polite, if they really make him anxious It doesn't matter whether it is illegal or not, it's all done.
