C9 Borrow Money(3)

The evening was getting darker and darker, and the sun was starting to brighten. In a trance, they arrived at Fengyang Town in Yanghu County.

Fengyang Town was a big town, close to Yanghu County. It was also where Jiangzhou University Town was located, and it was the peak hour for work. Cars were bustling and bustling everywhere.

On the west side of the town, there was a two-story building facing south, and on top of it hung the sign of "Red Dragonfly Cyber Cafe. " The ice skating field was downstairs of the internet cafe. Red and green neon lights were flashing inside. The children who had just finished school were laughing and cursing non-stop in the ice skating field. It was very lively.

Bian Liang walked into the ice rink and chose a dark corner to sit down. He looked around and finally felt relieved.

He completely relaxed. He suddenly felt that his whole body was soft, and he could not resist a wave of tiredness. He had not slept well since he came out of the youth detention center yesterday. No, it had been a long, long time since he had a good sleep.

He curled up on the sofa, his thin body like that of a child. The noise on the ice skating field gradually faded away, and he fell asleep in a daze.

There was no fixed time to wake up and eat, and no limited time to work and study. Time became illusory with his dreams.

He slept soundly. Someone was pushing him. Bian Liang opened his eyes slightly. It was the waiter who asked him to leave. It was already midnight. The lights in the ice rink had already dimmed. He got up and rubbed his eyes, then walked out of the ice rink in a daze.

A cool breeze blew over, and he shivered. He was completely awake. He shrugged his shoulders and put his hands in the jacket pocket. Where are you going in the middle of the night? He looked up at the internet cafe on the second floor. The dim lights shone through the gaps of the curtains, making it look gentle and warm in the quiet night. Yes! The internet cafe didn't differentiate day and night.

He walked to the internet cafe on the second floor.

The air in the internet cafe was turbid, and the sound of games could be heard everywhere. More than a dozen people were sleeping all over the place. Some were sitting, some were lying on the ground, some were lying on the ground, and some were lying on the ground. It had been a long time since he had seen such a familiar scene.

Bian Liang sat in front of the computer with full spirit. He put on his headphones, and as his fingers danced on the keyboard, the sounds of the game alternated and lingered.

He had been holding it in for too long in the youth detention center, enduring the pain and suffering of every word and action without any freedom. Now, he should relax and have fun in a carefree manner.

Bian Liang was completely immersed in the world of online games. The emotions that he had suppressed for a long time were finally released. Half a month passed in a flash. He had completely forgotten about the competition between the spring breeze, the drizzle, and the flowers outside. When he was tired, he would lie down and play games when he woke up. Before he knew it, the more than two thousand yuan in his pocket was almost gone.

He was a little depressed. The money was gone before it had been spent? To be honest, Other than eating a few steamed buns to satiate his hunger, he also paid for playing games. This money had to be paid. Otherwise, how could he pay for the hotel and the hotel? The key was. . . If he finished playing the game, he might one day be able to make a fortune out of luck and fortune. Wasn't it because he was playing games and playing computer games? An annual salary of 5 million at the age of 20? The teacher often said that opportunities were left to those who were prepared. If he doesn't train his troops now, how can he seize opportunities in the future?

Now that they were in trouble, what should they do if they did not have money? He knew that even if he saved, if this continued, the money in his pocket would not last for a few days. He thought about it and decided that it was time to find a job.

He started to browse the recruitment information on the internet and filtered them out one by one. Finally, he locked onto a few targets and was very happy in his heart.

At the end of March, the south of the Yangtze River was bright and beautiful, and there were peach and willow trees everywhere. Bian Liang's mood was also like the beautiful spring outside. He thought that once he had a job, he would have a lot of money. When he had money, he would do whatever he wanted. He closed his eyes, as if he could see a lot of money flying towards him. He felt a little smug and proud.

Bian Liang specially went to the bathhouse to take a shower. After confirming that there was no smell on his body, he set off with hope.

He was serious, searching the streets and blocks. Who would have thought? There were walls everywhere. More than ten days had passed, but there was no progress. When the boss saw that he was like a child, it was fine if he did not want him. He would always use the tone of an adult to mock and ridicule him. Some would directly teach him a lesson. "Don't get into a quarrel with your parents. Hurry up and go back!"

He would not lower himself to their level. He changed his strategy and tried his best to promote his expertise in computer science. However, they had a faint smile on their faces, and some of them directly looked down on him. They only recognized diplomas, but didn't recognize people. They wanted him to take out his computer diploma.

Bian Liang's pride was greatly hurt. He was depressed. Why did these people sound like they were colluding? They were always so unpleasant to the ear. He met a seemingly gentle auntie and explained things to her. In the end, she still smiled and said, "Hurry up and go home! Mommy is waiting for you to go home. Mommy will be very anxious if you don't go back. " It made Bian Liang not know whether to laugh or cry.

Although he was angry, Bian Liang understood that he had to solve the food and clothing problem first. He didn't have a diploma, so he could only temporarily lower his value. After he had mastered all the martial arts skills on the Internet, he would find a job that he liked.

A few days passed, but he still didn't get anything. Bian Liang was very disappointed. If he was unlucky, he would have to drink cold water and have his teeth stuck out. He had no choice but to lower his expectations again. He decided to go to the construction site where he did not need a diploma. He would first fill his stomach.

He walked to a construction site outside the town and looked at the tall tower hanging. He stood outside the door and hesitated. He asked himself if he really wanted to go in. The work here was dirty and tiring. But was there any other way to not go in? No, a real man would have to crawl into a dog hole even if he wanted to. Since he had come out, he had to show them what he was capable of. When he thought of this, he felt relieved. He raised his head and walked towards the gate of the construction site.

Before the foreman with the beer belly heard what Bian Liang said, he waved his hand impatiently with a dark face. He rudely said to him, "Do you think this is a playground? Look carefully, this is a construction site. It's not a place for your little kid to play, there's no food to eat. Go find your mother. " After saying that, he laughed coldly a few times and directly chased him out of the door. He showed no mercy at all.

Bian Liang had never received such a wimp before, this was really preposterous. He could even do illiterate jobs, yet the boss mocked and insulted him like this. After all, he was still in junior high school. Why should he? He was very angry. He had a stomach full of anger and wanted to explode, but he had nowhere to vent it. He secretly cursed in his heart: A cold-blooded animal that looks down on humans, who is in conflict with their parents? Their father is dead. His mother is with a wild man, who am I going to mess with? Go home! It's easy to say. Where is my home? Where do I have a home? Where should I go?

Just as he took a few steps, he accidentally kicked a stone. He was so angry that he kicked the stone out fiercely. "Ouch!" It hurt so much. The stone was fine and steadily landed not far away. Instead, it kicked his toe in pain. How unlucky.

He was very angry and depressed. He did not want to be lazy. Was it wrong to look for a job? Was it wrong to want to feed himself?

The more Bian Liang thought about it, the angrier he became. Was it his fault that he wasn't tall? How could he blame himself? He furiously vented his anger on the computer and started killing crazily in the game. He muttered, Hmph! I'll make you look down on me, and I'll make you look down on me. His fingers tapped on the keyboard, making crackling sounds. In the end, he was completely immersed in it. He forgot his worries.

A few days passed, and a few more days passed. Bian Liang fought until he was dizzy in the game. In the online world, he felt respect, affirmation, equality and freedom that he could not feel in the real world. This feeling was especially satisfying and satisfying. The pain and grievances that he had suffered for a long time had finally been completely vented.

After the game ended, Bian Liang took off his headphones and continued to scold his "pig teammate. " He stretched and rubbed his rough eyes. He reached out and touched the pockets on both sides. It was empty. He stood up and searched his entire body, but he couldn't find a single coin. He sat down heavily in the chair.

The day had finally come. Bian Liang lazily leaned back in the chair and looked at the computer - it was already past ten o'clock at night.

People couldn't be forced to death by urine. He closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about whether he should sleep or not. On the west side of the internet cafe building, there was a wall about two meters wide. From there, he could go to the five-story factory building at the back.

He had already observed this terrain more than once. It was time to make a move.

At midnight, he casually glanced at the netizens in front of the computer. Some of them hung their heads like chickens, and some stared at the computer screen as if they had been injected with stimulants. From time to time, they were chanting. "Heal! Heal! Mages, attack! Hey! Do you know how to play games? . . . "

He walked to the window. It was dark outside, and the building behind him was faintly visible. Bian Liang thought for a while and gently walked out of the dark internet cafe.

He went downstairs and walked towards the wall beside him.

The sky was very dark, like a huge black curtain covering the sky. He tiptoed along the wall towards the factory building behind him.

He carefully observed the factory building in front of him and pushed the aluminum alloy window. Unable to push it open, he continued to walk forward along the factory building. He stopped in front of an air-conditioner outdoor machine. He found a brick from the side and was about to smash it into the glass when. . . Stopped, confirmed that there was no one around. . . He then gently smashed it into the glass, and with a bang, After breaking the silent night sky, he nervously looked around. Fortunately, He exhaled and reached out to open the lock on the window. He carefully stepped on the air conditioner and climbed in.

It turned out to be a huge warehouse with a black rumble. The light coming from the internet cafe building in front of him was very weak. In the middle of the empty warehouse, there were a few rows of shelves, and the shelves were stacked with cardboard boxes. Bian Liang walked over on tiptoes. He took out something the size of a duck egg from the cardboard box. It was heavy. He took it to the window and looked at it carefully. It was a part of the product. It was glowing yellow. Copper? He was secretly delighted. After he was happy, he started to worry. How could he take such a small thing? Could it be that he was going to move the entire box away? No, no! He shook his head. The model on the cardboard box was clear at a glance. Even a fool would know that it was defective.

He began to search the warehouse. After walking for more than half of the warehouse, he still could not find the bag. He was a little disappointed and continued to walk inside. Suddenly, there was a pile of white things at the corner of the wall. When he walked closer, he saw that it was a snake skin bag. It was truly heaven's wish. He happily took one and walked towards the shelves.

Very quickly, he put the copper lumps into the snake skin bag. After putting half a bag in, he weighed the weight. It was very heavy, he thought. This thing can't be very expensive, right? This time, he must learn from his mistakes and not take too much. If he took too much, he would steal it, and he would have to go in again. Right! If he took too little, it wouldn't be considered stealing, and he wouldn't be sentenced. Thus, Bian Liang took out a few more boxes from his bag and put them back into the cardboard box.

He put the snake skin bag on the windowsill and pushed it hard. The bag fell heavily outside the window and he jumped out of the window.

The sky was not bright yet. Besides the dim lights in the curtains of the internet cafe, it was dark outside. He carried the heavy bag on his back and found a secret corner to hide the snake skin bag.

He quietly returned to the internet cafe at dawn. He sat in the corner and let out a sigh of relief. It was still early, so he lay down and closed his eyes for a while. Actually, he didn't dare to sleep and kept thinking about the bag.

In the hazy morning light, Bian Liang tiptoed to find the bag hidden in the corner. He put it on his shoulder and staggered out of town. Soon, his thin figure disappeared in the misty morning light.

On the shore next to the village, there were two simple single-story houses. On the gray concrete wall, there were a few crooked big red words written - Waste Purchase. The surroundings of the houses were filled with rubbish collected. From afar, one could smell the stench of bad luck.

It was too early. The worn-out door of the waste purchase station in the faint morning fog was tightly shut. What should he do? Wait for the boss to wake up? No! Wouldn't it be troublesome if someone saw him?

He gently knocked on the door. There was no sound inside. He gently knocked on the door again. Finally, there was a lazy voice. Who is it? It's so early!"

"I have trash to sell!" Bian Liang lowered his voice.

A little while later, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the room. A thin, middle-aged man came out to open the door. His hair was messy and he looked sleepy. Bian Liang's sneaky look had long been understood by him. However, he grumbled, "It's so early, you don't want people to sleep?"

Bian Liang giggled and repeatedly said, "Sorry, there's an emergency. " Then, he handed the bag in his hand to him.

Boss Liu raised his eyebrows. There were several obvious upside-down patterns on his forehead that were squeezed together. He opened the bag and took a look. He said to Bian Liang in disdain, "This copper is worthless. You look pitiful. Let's call it 11 yuan per catty! " With that, he took the large scale stick and hooked it on the bag. The weight stick tilted upwards and quickly placed the bag on the ground.

"26 jin, 286 yuan. " The young man quickly reported the price. Boss Liu yawned and entered the house, took out 300 yuan and handed it to Bian Liang.

Bian Liang touched his body in embarrassment: "I don't have money to find zeros. "

"Forget it, you're in a hurry. There's no need to look for this 14 yuan. We'll calculate it together next time. Take it and use it first!" He seemed to be in a hurry to go to sleep and resumed his beautiful dream just now.

This unremarkable boss was actually so generous. Bian Liang was surprised and also shedding tears of gratitude as he repeatedly expressed his thanks.

With money, he would go and have a good meal first. At this moment, Bian Liang suddenly realized that the sparse oiled flowers around him were especially tender and fresh. The air was also exceptionally fresh and moist. The sweet fragrance of the flowers penetrated into one's heart. Even the willows by the side of the road swayed their graceful figures, making one's heart feast.

His heart was rippling. Looking at the clearly increasing number of pedestrians and cars on the street, he took a deep breath of fresh air and truly felt the beauty of freedom. Without the strict and rigid teaching staff, without the nagging of his parents, he felt as if he was floating in the air. This feeling was really good.

Bian Liang wandered around town without any destination, enjoying the happiness of freedom. Suddenly, he saw a familiar back. She was buying clothes in front of the stall, and when she looked carefully, she realized that it wasn't Sister Fang Lin. What a false alarm.

However, her mother's shadow was swaying in front of her eyes, unable to be brushed away. How was her mother, who was nagging, doing now? If he left without saying goodbye, would she cry every day? When he thought of this, he also felt that it was strange. Why did he pity her? He couldn't blame others, he had to blame. . . He also blamed her for not being able to protect her loneliness, actually hanging out with the ugly gorilla Zhao and falling into depravity.

The sky was gradually getting hotter. At dawn, she threw the coffee colored sweater in a corner of the internet cafe. The checkered shirt and jeans she wore all day long were already smelly. The original blue and white clothes were now hard to distinguish between the colors.

The woman had already walked far away.

Bian Liang walked to the stall and picked a light green shirt. He then took a gray beach shorts and a pair of green beach shoes. After paying, he didn't have much money left on him. He felt a little heartache. This money wasn't easy to come by. He thought that he had to save the rest of the money.

In the Red Dragonfly Internet Cafe, the young people in front of the computers were still fighting in the online gaming world with headphones on their heads. They couldn't help but shout.

Bian Liang soon joined their team. He shook his head and murmured. He was immersed in it for a few days.

Late at night, Bian Liang, who was lying on the game console, slowly woke up. He stretched and touched his body, only to find that the money was gone again. He sighed deeply and closed his eyes to rest.

In the later half of the night, Bian Liang slipped out of the internet. He walked straight towards the wall. Under the dim moonlight, he suddenly found that there was a three-meter tall wall between the internet cafe and the wall.

So tall? He was dumbfounded. He scratched his head with his hand. It had only been a few times and it was already like this? Just as he was pondering, he suddenly realized that there was a sink pipe on the wall of the building that was close to the newly built wall. There was also a dog hole that was dozens of centimeters below the foot of the newly built wall. It was precisely the heavens that never cut off one's path. Bian Liang was secretly delighted.

Although the dog hole was large, Bian Liang tried to enter it twice but was unable to. He was just a little bit away. He quickly climbed up the sink pipe, then stepped onto the newly built wall. Then, he walked from the wall to the originally shorter wall. He jumped and jumped down.

When he walked to the front of the building, he suddenly found that there was a barbed wire attached to the window.

He spent a lot of effort and finally broke the barbed wire and the glass with the brick and flipped inside.

After entering, he was dumbfounded. Rows of shelves were gone, and the warehouse was empty. He stood in the middle of the warehouse and was very disappointed. Sweat rolled down his forehead and fell on his face.

He found the stairs by the side of the light, and with the weak lights outside, he gently walked upstairs. The sound of his footsteps was still terrifying in the quiet corridor.

Every floor of the factory was empty. He walked all the way to the fifth floor and found an office. The red door was closed and he pushed it with his hand, but it did not move at all.

He went back from the stairs to the warehouse on the first floor. He bent down and kept searching on the ground. Hey! He found a hammer in the corner, and it was a Sabbatic Goat Hammer. The heavens are really helping me. He was a little excited.

Bian Liang quietly went upstairs again.

He used the horn on the hammer to pry the lock down bit by bit. He pried open the door and the two beautiful doors revealed their ferocious faces. His bright hand could barely reach through the holes in the door that were full of spikes and open the safety handles inside.

There was a boss table in the large office with two rooms, and there was a computer on the table. There was a piece of clothing hanging on the back of the chair. In the entire office, apart from the computer and a cabinet air conditioner, there was also a piece of clothing. It was empty. He went up to touch the pocket of the clothes hanging on the chair and took out two bills. He went to the window and looked at the faint light outside carefully. It seemed like one was worth ten yuan. The other was twenty yuan.

He opened the drawer again and found that it was clean inside. He was very disappointed. He thought to himself, The boss is also a pauper.

Bian Liang inadvertently saw a few pieces of white paper on the boss's table and had an idea. Right, if he couldn't get the money, could he borrow some from him? He was secretly proud of himself, and even admired his own wisdom. He casually took a pen and thought for a while. He placed it on the windowsill and his eyes almost touched the paper. He wrote:

"Hello! I know that no one will be willing to let me come, and I also know that you really don't have anything here. However. . . I have no choice but to come. Because if I didn't come, I would be hungry. Actually, no one would be willing to come here, but I had to come again and again. This time, I'm here to borrow 200 yuan from you. I don't want to come here anymore. "

He wrote until here and stopped for a moment. After thinking for a while, he continued writing: "I know you don't owe me anything, there's no need to give me 200 yuan. But I really want to go home, and I don't have any money on me. . . I can only beg you. I know that I have caused you a lot of losses recently. Actually, I'm not afraid to tell you that if I really want to do it. . . Your air-conditioner computer and whatnot would have been ruined by me a long time ago. I just don't want to starve, so I want to earn some money to live. That's why I've been here all this time. Here, I'm sorry! "

The handwriting was crooked and crooked. After he finished writing, he struggled to squint his eyes to read it. Satisfied, he placed the pen on his desk and pressed the pen on the loan note. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He tiptoed downstairs and got worried again. He just went back like that? What should he do if he was hungry? No, he had to find something else. He had to bring something with him.

Bian Liang observed carefully and then found a bag. He started to search for the metal pieces and wires that were scattered on the ground. He walked one round. He didn't find any valuable items. He weighed the snake skin pouch in his hand. It was too little! It was not easy to make a trip here. He searched again. He searched a few more times. Other than a welder, there was nothing else he could take.

On June's night, although it was not as hot as the day, after walking around the warehouse a few times, he was already covered in sweat and had a few bags bitten by mosquitoes. He scratched his itch and steeled his heart. He picked up the hammer and used it to pry open the welder.

Although it was a light pry, there was still the sound of "Ding, ding, ding. "

Not good! A figure suddenly flashed through the window and a ray of bright light shot into the warehouse. Bian Liang quickly stuck his back against the wall beside the window. He held his breath as he used the flashlight to shoot back and forth, thinking that it was over. Soon, the footsteps headed towards the warehouse door. Bian Liang took the opportunity to hide under the stairs and used a piece of paper to block in front of him.

A hunchbacked old man came in, his flashlight constantly moving around in the empty warehouse. He walked to the front of the welder and revealed a puzzled look.

He walked to the staircase and to the front of the staircase. The flashlight shone on the staircase and then on the side. After hesitating for a moment, he walked upstairs. He quickly returned. A blinding light shot out from his hand, constantly shaking and searching for its target. The old man returned to the warehouse. He walked to the welder and shook his head slightly. He stood there with a frown for a few seconds before leaving.

Bian Liang was so scared that he didn't even dare to breathe. Once the old man left, He found that his shirt was already soaked and his hair was stuck to his forehead. He was afraid that the old man would turn around and shoot him. He didn't dare to go out. Since that was the case, he might as well hide under the stairs. He might as well take a nap. He laid on the ground and continued to cover himself with the cardboard.

His body was itchy and he was worried that he would not be able to sleep peacefully in the dark. After a while, he started to itch.

Bian Liang came to the warehouse again. He quickly disassembled the welding machine and threw the bag out of the window after making sure it was safe. Then, he skillfully flipped the bag out.

He walked to the newly built wall and quickly took out the things in the bag. One by one, he stuffed them out of the dog hole. The last one, along with the bag, was stuffed outside the dog hole. Like a little monkey, he jumped from the short wall to the tall wall. Then, he slid out of the wall through the water pipe.

At dawn, Bian Liang carried a white snake leather bag on his back and staggered out of the town. He stood out from the waste collection station, and proudly put the 250 yuan into his pocket.

He casually walked around the quiet and sweet town and breathed in the morning's moist air. In the drizzle, there were few pedestrians on the street. Only a few snack shops were busy preparing to welcome the guests.

Bian Liang bought two steaming hot meat buns from the roadside stall and enjoyed eating while walking.

Under the eaves of the street, there was a seven or eight-year-old boy curled up. His hair was messy, his face was yellow and thin, and his shorts and vest were extremely dirty. His body seemed to be trembling slightly.

Bian Liang walked past him. The boy stared fixedly at the bun in his hand.

Bian Liang walked a few steps and stopped. He turned around and looked at the boy. He saw a pitiful begging look in the young boy's eyes.

Bian Liang's heart trembled slightly. It was as if he had seen himself many years ago, hiding in a corner of the town, hungry. He stood there for a few seconds and said to the monkey-like boy, "This place is dirty. Go home!" After saying that, he looked at himself and felt that his appearance was on par with his. He could not help but laugh inwardly.

"Mommy is gone. Dad gambled. Don't care about me. I'm hungry! "The boy looked at the warm bun in his hand eagerly.

Bian Liang suddenly thought of Big Brother Zhang Wei and his big brother's childhood. When the boy called him "hungry," it was like a bolt of lightning that struck his heart. He had the deepest impression of the taste of hunger.

Bian Liang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and sighed. He handed the other bun in his hand to the boy.

The boy took the bun and wolfed it down.

As Liang was about to leave, he stopped and looked at him for a few more seconds. He picked up his fat shorts from his belly button and slowly took out all the money from his pocket. He took out one of the red hundred-yuan notes and tossed it to the boy after a moment of hesitation.

The boy revealed a surprised expression and did not dare to take it. He stood there in a daze.

"It's for you. Take it! Don't starve. " The child quickly grabbed the money on the ground and kept kowtowing to Bian Liang. "Thank you, Big Brother! Thank you, Big Brother!" He continued until Bian Liang walked far away.
