Xu Yang thought about a bright future all the way, and he didn't have the heart to look at the road, so the car drove to the courtyard of an abandoned factory.

As soon as I got out of the car, I heard the shouts of dozens of people, both men and women, from a ruined building.

Xu Yang asked, "Brother Niu, what kind of place is this?" Brother Niu smiled mysteriously: "You'll know later." This is where your dreams begin. Don't underestimate this dilapidated place, you will have a magnificent palace in the near future, work hard!"

Xu Yang didn't speak again, but his heart was pounding, and he didn't know whether he was nervous or scared.

Going down the broken staircase, the two came to the third floor, and the shouts became louder, resounding throughout the corridor, and Xu Yang's ears were ringing. followed Brother Niu, lifted the small bag on his shoulder, and came to a very large room.

I saw thirty or forty people standing in the center of the room, both men and women, all of them in their twenties and thirties, all of them staring at each other, raising their fists, followed by a middle-aged man in front of them, shouting vigorously, and the crowd was excited: "I can do it! I can! I will definitely be able to do it!" There was a lot of anger from the Red Army soldiers who were not afraid of the difficulties of the expedition.

Xu Yang was stunned, except for the buzzing of his ears, his eyes were blurry, and he didn't know why. Brother Niu walked to the front desk at this time and said a few words to the middle-aged man who led the slogan, and the middle-aged man glanced at Xu Yang, who was standing at the door in a daze, and nodded.

After saying a few words to the middle-aged man, Brother Niu walked over. said to Xu Yang: "That is Lao Li, our lecturer here, who is kind and has a high level, you can learn from him in the future." The path he shows you is a shortcut to your success. After speaking, he led Xu Yang to another room, which was also a very large room.

This room is only one bathroom away from the room just now, but this room is a different story. The rolls of bedding all over the floor are placed there in a messy manner, some can be stacked, and some are just scattered so that they are the residence of those people.

The crippled concrete floor was covered with dust, and the scattered luggage was spread on top of the dust, but there were three windows, but the glass was incomplete, some of the windows were covered with newspapers, and I didn't know how much wind it could block.

The smell of dry smoke, stinky feet, sweat, and many smells in the house were mixed together, making it difficult for Xu Yang to breathe.

Xu Yang frowned. Brother Niu seemed to see Xu Yang's thoughts, and said to Xu Yang: "Only when you suffer hardship can you become a master." If you are here today, you will be a VIP of a five-star hotel tomorrow. We are not afraid of 10,000 people blocking us, but we are afraid of surrendering ourselves. ”

patted Xu Yang on the shoulder, and said earnestly like an elder: "Xiao Xu, believe in yourself, you will definitely succeed." After speaking, he clenched his fists and raised them high above the top, just like the old Li just now, and shouted at Xu Yang: "Come on!

Xu Yang was looking at the room, thinking about where to put his little bag, and was so frightened by Brother Niu's sudden shout that he almost sat on the ground.

Brother Niu laughed out loud when he saw Xu Yang's panicked appearance. Xu Yang also laughed a few times.

In Xu Yang's view, this is the beginning of his adventure, Brother Niu is right, if you don't endure hardships and hardships, what is a master? In the rest of the days, he lived and ate with the thirty or forty men and women, but about 10 women lived next to them, a relatively small room, and the place where the girls lived was much better, but it was also messy.

In this way, he "studied" every day and shouted slogans every day, and the lecturer was not only Lao Li, but also a new lecturer would come from outside to "give lectures" to them.

Xu Yang's ears are full of "you must have a sense of responsibility, be responsible for your children and grandchildren, and don't be a sinner for your children and grandchildren", "fight once to be rich for three generations", "will endure hardships for a while, will not endure hardships and suffer for a lifetime", "the sweat and tears left today will become diamond-like returns in the future", "there are no losers in the industry, only those who give up"......

With the guidance and encouragement of the lecturer, Xu Yang, the thirty or forty people, every day is like a chicken blood, with passionate expressions and tears in their eyes, full of gratitude to the lecturer, and full of hope for success in the future. I just feel that everything is under my feet, any difficulties are not a problem, and success is so simple. Every shout was hoarse, the green muscles burst out, and the sound of determination resounded throughout the universe, and the momentum of pulling out the mountains and covering the world with great power, as if the stars were picked up in the sky at this moment, were just within reach.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Yang has been able to recite these inspirational words like a stream, but he still doesn't know what he is doing.

On this day, Lao Li and Brother Niu found Xu Yang and wanted to assign Xu Yang a task, Xu Yang thought, the work is finally about to start.

After meeting, Lao Li asked Xu Yang: "Xiao Xu, how have you gained in the past month?" Xu Yang replied: "I have learned a lot, but I still don't understand it very well, how can I make money in this way?"

Lao Li listened to Xu Yang's words, laughed, turned his head to look at Brother Niu, and said: "Xiao Xu has ambitions, he is a good seedling, and he will definitely achieve great success in the future." Brother Niu echoed.

Lao Li turned his head to stare at Xu Yang and asked, "Are you really so anxious to make money?" Xu Yang couldn't wait to reply: "Yes, of course I want to, I think about it every day." “

"Good job!" Lao Li cocked his thumb and praised: "As long as you have an idea, you will definitely succeed!" and then said to Brother Niu: "You come and talk to Xiao Xu." “

Brother Niu coughed, stepped forward, and said to Xu Yang: "You don't need to know how we make money, you just need to follow our guidance, you can rest assured, a lot of money will be drilled into your pocket in the future." When the time comes, you'll only worry about one thing. “

Xu Yang asked curiously: "Why are you worried?" Brother Niu smiled slyly: "You will worry about making so much money, how can you spend it?" After saying that, he laughed. Lao Li and Xu Yang also laughed.

put away his smile, Brother Niu's expression suddenly turned serious, and said to Xu Yang: "I will assign you a task now, and it depends on your ability to earn more or less." But I'm optimistic about you. ”

Xu Yang also suppressed his laughter, stared at Brother Niu, and listened carefully.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Brother Niu continued: "You need to develop your own downline, the more you develop, the higher your income, relatives, friends and strangers can be." This is a good thing, making money can benefit everyone together, and everyone can earn money together. ”

Before Xu Yang could answer, Lao Li came up and patted Xu Yang on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Do a good job, Xiao Xu, for yourself, for your parents, for your children and grandchildren, for your brilliant tomorrow, work hard!"

Xu Yang really believes it, and firmly believes that he will do a good job. As he carried out the task with hope, he gradually felt that something was wrong.

Since this conversation, Brother Niu has asked Xu Yang to pay the dues every once in a while, saying that he has to pay for food, housing, and classes, but Xu Yang can't pay it. Brother Niu gave advice to Xu Yang, let Xu Yang develop his relatives and friends as the downline, and let Xu Yang borrow money from his family, or borrow money from relatives and friends, after all, what you take out now is only a small amount of money, and you will get a hundredfold and thousandfold return in the future.

Xu Yang responded and worked hard, but he couldn't borrow money and couldn't develop downline. He had made up his mind that he couldn't ask his parents for money under any circumstances, and how many relatives and friends he knew, and how many of them could come up with money? When he was on the phone, Brother Niu was still listening by the side, and Xu Yang was not allowed to say anything else except about borrowing money. Sometimes Xu Yang called his relatives, talking and talking, and felt that he had said too much, and Brother Niu would immediately press the phone to death, and Xu Yang felt more and more that something was wrong.

In this way, another month passed in a hurry, and Xu Yang found nothing. And Brother Niu's attitude towards him is not as bad as before, getting worse and worse every time.

Recently, every time I talk to Xu Yang, I say who in your team has taken how much money, who has developed how many downlines, look at you, there is no money, no people, you owe us now, how can you pay it back.

Xu Yang has changed from being full of expectations for the future to being disheartened now, and he wants to sneak away many times, but there are always people in front of and behind him who are looking at him like they are staring at him, and he wants to call the police, but the only landline is still in the office of Lao Li and Brother Niu on the first floor.

Just when Xu Yang was thinking about escaping every day, his abnormalities had already been seen by Lao Li and Brother Niu.

Early one morning, before Xu Yang opened his eyes, four strong men broke in, and couldn't help but say, Xu Yang was picked up from the bed, and the two of them supported him and dragged him out of the door.

Xu Yang was quite brute force, and tried his best to resist, seeing that the two people were about to be unable to stand up to Xu Yang, the third person came up and slapped him hard, the sound was extremely loud, and the people next to him woke up.

Xu Yang hadn't fully woken up, but his ears were buzzing from this sudden slap, and he suddenly felt dizzy, and was taken to a small room by four people in a daze.

The four of them brutally pressed Xu Yang to the ground, and one shouted: "Sit! Don't move!"

Xu Yang sat up and gradually woke up, and saw Brother Niu walking in from outside the door. Seeing Xu Yang who was dusty on the ground, Brother Niu slowly took out a white handkerchief from his suit pocket, covered his mouth and nose and said: "Xiao Xu, don't blame Brother Niu, you are too unkind, I gave you time and gave you a chance, but what about you, what did you repay me? If you still want to run, then what do you owe me? If you don't pay it back, you want to leave here? You take me too seriously." ”

Xu Yang gritted his teeth, glared at Brother Niu, panting heavily, and didn't say a word.

Brother Niu said slowly: "If you want to leave, you can, prepare 100,000 yuan, no matter what method you use, whether you steal or rob or cheat, I will see this money in a week, otherwise you are missing something, don't blame me for not being merciful when the time comes." After speaking, he didn't look at Xu Yang again, and said to the four big men: "Keep an eye on the people for me." With that, he walked out of the room.

In this dimly lit small room, Xu Yang stayed for six days and six nights, and the four strong men took turns to guard, sometimes catching up with the breath, either punching Xu Yang, or kicking Xu Yang, or scolding.

Eating and drinking in front of Xu Yang every day, but only throwing Xu Yang a steamed bun and a bowl of water a day, Xu Yang's expression was atrophied, his whole body was out of strength, and his brain couldn't think of anything at all, so he kept hiding in a corner and leaning, groggy and groggy, not knowing how time had passed.

He couldn't hear him clearly, punched and kicked, he didn't stand still, he only felt that his life was flowing out of the body little by little, occasionally thinking of his mother's thin figure standing at the entrance of the village on the day he left, he wanted to cry, but he couldn't shed tears;

He also misses his second brother and third brother, the second brother's smoothness, and the third brother's weakness.

He also misses the mountain and the stream in his hometown......
