25-year-old Ma Chao, old and young, his parents can't walk, and his little brother is still in elementary school, so his pressure has increased in an instant.

He confidently said goodbye to his parents, left his hometown alone, took the last train, and went to work in other places.

At that time, he didn't know what the field was like, and Ma Chao, who had lived in the village since he was a child, had never seen how beautiful the high-rise buildings in the big city were.

He looked at the trees around him, constantly running backwards, gradually moving away from his hometown, and his heart gradually began to feel a little lonely. But it's not surprising that some of these feelings are felt, after all, everyone who has left their hometown feels this way.

Ma Chao took the last bus, and the bus drove on the mountain path, the fields by the roadside, and the rocky beach by the river. I don't know how long, but finally they got on the national road. Get ready to head into the city.

Ma Chao has never seen what a national highway looks like, so this national highway is no different from the paved road in his village. But there was still a feeling of excitement in his heart.

The car was parked around a small city, and the driver was about to go to the next town to solicit passengers, so he had to send them here, and a group of children from the mountains got off the bus one after another, and they said goodbye to each other and planned for their future.

Ma Chao sat on the side of the street a little lonely, he looked into the distance faintly, thinking of his father, mother and younger brothers and sisters who were still at home, and suddenly felt a little sad in his heart, he was homesick.

"Ma Chao, you must earn money to go back this time, if you don't send back the money you earned, then your parents will not have a good life improvement!"

This is a belief that has always existed in Ma Chaolai's heart to live in the city, and it is also a creed that supports him to continue to stay in the city.

It was about ten kilometers from the city, and he couldn't afford a ticket, so he didn't have a penny on him, so he had to walk to the city.

Although the ten kilometers in the village were not too far, the road to the city was tormented.

On the one hand, he was excited and expectant, and on the other hand, he was physically exhausted, and the double pressure made him a little physically exhausted after walking less than 5km.

Although Ma Chao felt that it was no longer possible, he could only grit his teeth and endure it in the face of the city he was about to arrive.

But Ma Chao, who thought that it would be smooth sailing in the city today, was defeated by the reality in front of him as soon as he entered the city.

The city of his dreams is not like this at all, there are beggars like him everywhere on the road, and even those beggars are better dressed than him, and the pedestrians on the road do not deliberately avoid the side when they meet him, not wanting to touch this person with a dirty face.

Ma Chao was still very puzzled at first, after all, in his impression, the city people were civilized and polite, and they treated everyone fairly and justly. How can there be discrimination against him?

But Ma Chao came all the way, but he didn't find anyone talking to him, or even saying that he took the initiative to talk to that group of people, and they were unwilling to talk to him.

It was only at this time that Ma Chao really realized that he was not accepted by this group of people in the city at all, and in the end he was still living in a fantasy, he would always be a rural person, and they would never regard themselves as a part of the city.

When Ma Chao thought of this, his heart was infinitely desolate and painful, he moved forward while wiping his tears, and the beautiful vision of the future in the car was all in vain at this moment.

He walked forward while crying, the sky was not beautiful, it happened to rain at this time, Ma Chao in the rain felt that his life had reached a low point, and he had countless thoughts in his heart to go back, but these thoughts were defeated by his creed.

"For me, I must make a name for me, even here, we rural people are not accepted by them, I will make a name for me!"

Ma Chao looked at the thin beggar next to him, and he thought that he still had a strong muscle, and he could go to work as a worker or in some other industry.

Ma Chao could only rely on his instinct to find the only construction site in the city, fortunately, this is a city by the sea, and someone has been needed to move goods on the dock for many years, which also gives Ma Chao a meal ticket to stay for a long time.

Although the administrator of the dock saw Ma Chao. He was very unhappy when he looked dirty, but when he saw that his strong muscles could do twice as much work as others, he gladly took him in.

The most valuable thing is that he also added a special preferential project of food and accommodation here.

Ma Chao came to the city for the first time, and he felt the gentleness and warmth, and he instantly had a kind feeling for this administrator.

But the administrator is also a businessman, how could he let himself do some loss-making business Ma Chao? If he wants to continue to stay here, one of the conditions that must be observed is that the work must be arranged by him himself, and he cannot resist.

originally thought that he just wanted to do more work, so Ma Chao agreed. But who knows, he has only been working on the construction site for five days, and he has felt the infinite malice of this administrator towards him.

While the others were eating, Ma Chao was instructed to go to work, and only when the others had finished eating and there were still some vegetable scraps left, he could be allowed to eat at the table.

When everyone else had lunch break, Ma Chao was instructed to move the goods, and when others finished resting, he didn't even drink a sip of water, so he was forced to be called to continue working.

Ma Chao originally wanted to give up, but then he thought that this was the only way for him to gain a foothold in the city. He also gritted his teeth and endured this evil breath.

In this way, Ma Chao stayed on this dock for nearly half a year, and in the past six months, the administrator's oppression of him has never decreased, but has become more and more intense, until half a month before and after Ma Chao left, he can only eat one meal a day, but his own work is two to three times that of others.

Although Ma Chao felt that his muscles were constantly exploding, he also felt that this life did not give him any good looks.

Finally one morning, after Ma Chao received his salary, when he was called to work by the administrator again, he slapped the administrator in the face, and in an instant, four or five teeth were knocked to the ground by him.

"I have earned a total of 10,000 yuan in the past six months, which is nearly half lower than other people's wages, and I don't want to talk about these things anymore, then your inhumane oppression is the most fundamental reason why I gave up!"

As Ma Chao spoke, he left without looking back, leaving only a group of workers who stayed where they were and an administrator who sat on the ground with his face covered and looked at his tooth that had fallen on the ground.

Ma Chao carried his luggage, which only had a school bag, and embarked on a journey to continue to work hard in the city.

He only kept 1,000 yuan for himself, and the remaining 9,000 yuan, all of which he didn't leave behind, was sent back to his hometown, knowing that at the current price, the 9,000 yuan was enough for his younger siblings to go to school for a year.

Ma Chao saw that he had come out in the past six months, and finally had results, and he also breathed a long sigh of relief, and he deliberately went to the supermarket to buy himself a bag of instant noodles to treat himself.

He sat alone on the side of the road, eating instant noodles, while watching the vehicles and pedestrians passing on the road, and instantly fell into great contemplation.

He was fascinated by this flowery city for a while, and he didn't know how he could make a name for himself.

"Boy, go and fight underground boxing, I think your talent is good. ”

A homeless man has been following Ma Chao for nearly half a year, since Ma Chang just came to the city, this homeless man has been with him, although Ma Chao finally went to work at the dock, the homeless man is also on the edge of the dock every day, chatting with him or not.

"What is underground boxing?"

Ma Chao was in a good mood today, he also said a few more words to the old man, and the old man was also a little surprised, after all, in the past six months, if he didn't take the initiative to ask questions, Ma Chao would never answer his questions.

"In this city, there is a group of people who organize an underground boxing ring, and most of the people in that underground boxing ring are poor people, and the rich people bet big bucks and watch the people in the iron cage fight each other for fun. ”

The beggar seemed to have spent some time in the underground boxing ring when he was younger, and he was familiar with the rules of the black boxing ring.

"How much can I earn if I go?"

"If you are good at boxing, maybe you can earn all the money you have earned in half a year in one day, and if you don't play well, it is estimated that your 1,000 yuan is not enough for you to buy medicine. ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he was immediately a little moved, after all, if he could earn a salary of 9,000 yuan a day, even if he made himself desperate, he was willing.

"Where?"

The homeless man saw that Ma Chao was very interested in this underground boxing ring, so he kindly took him over, after all, he had been wandering at the door of this boxing ring for so many years. It's easy to find a place to stay at this door.

"If you really succeed, remember to come out and invite me to a delicious meal, we have been together for half a year, even if there is no relationship, we can be considered a relatively familiar person. ”

Ma Chao only responded slightly, he was not good at expressing his feelings, but he was still a little shy when he encountered real things, and he could only respond to the words of the homeless man with his own faint voice.

The homeless man has been with him for so long, and he also knows that Ma Chao has some feelings for him, cheap, just smiled slightly, looked at Ma Chao's figure gradually walking in, slowly walked into the alley next to him, and found a place to nest......
