Chapter Twenty-Three: Make Some Decisions for You2
"Alas, you guys, you just don't make people worry!" The co-pilot's window glass was rolled down, revealing the face of an old man about sixty years old. This guy looked righteous and stern, as if he was reproaching the young man and the middle-aged man for being rude to Zhou Hao. But as long as you listen carefully to the meaning of his words, it is clear that you have blamed both sides.
What's more, looking at the meaning of this guy, it is clear that he is the leader of this beggar gang, and he can get mixed up in such a gang to such a point, can he be a good man and a woman? Haji still doesn't believe it.
First, we are honest people, and it is sinful to bully such people, and the Buddha will not spare them; second, we cannot bully loyal and righteous people. This loyal person is not only a person, but also a loyal dog, a loyal horse, and a loyal cow, do you understand? Our business is not easy, and no one looks down on us, but if our own people don't even talk about some rules, then this business will really become a stinky street, understand?" The person who is called Qi Ye has a serious appearance, and from the face of it, it can be regarded as kind.
It's just that from the point of view of a person like Haji, who has died once and come back to life, this guy is purely pretending to be garlic! Don't look at him drooping his eyelids and looking like a tall man, but judging from the occasional hint of sly glance in his squinted eyes, this guy is definitely a person who has seen the world and has a heavy heart. To say that he is kind is to taint the word kindness.
However, Haji looked at it this way, judging from Zhou Hao's reaction he observed, Zhou Hao's tricks against this old man were also clear. Although Haji couldn't ask or figure it out, he estimated that the old man was the one who commanded the people below to control the beggars under him, and to make money through them. Zhou Hao now has no other means of survival except begging, and his physical disability has reached this level, even if he wants to escape from this city and these people, he is also powerless. So in this case, Zhou Hao has no good way other than to cling to these wicked people.
"Okay! Xiao Zhou, don't be temperamental, get in the car quickly! Brother of your own, why are you still making such a fuss? No one will touch your dog, the old man will leave it here, if someone dares to touch it, you will whip my old face when the time comes!" Qi Ye gave Zhou Hao a promise, even to ensure Haji's safety. But this is also soft and hard, and there is a faint threat in it.
As for his own brother, he doesn't need to ask to know that he is farting. Did his brother buy it, did his brother use it to force him to beg, did his brother calculate the dog he adopted? Haji knew all this, but he couldn't expose it. In fact, Haji knew that he couldn't expose it, and he was sure that Zhou Hao also knew this, but if Zhou Hao had the ability to leave this beggar gang, Zhou Hao would definitely leave these people without hesitation. He must not be able to leave now, so he has to endure the humiliation of these people.
Zhou Hao gave up resistance this time and let the two people work together to lift him into the car. Haji also pretended to be docile and honestly followed Zhou Hao into the car. There were already five or six beggars in the car, all of whom seemed to be physically disabled.
It's no wonder that so many beggars get together. Although the country is so big, there are always some people who will be injured and disabled for various reasons, but the causes of disability are similar, and the parts of the limbs are similar, which is not unusual. This also proves Haji's speculation and Zhou Hao's narrative from one side, these people were all harmed by people using the same means, just to force these people to beg for profit.
The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit. This is the case in everything, when there is a benefit, the person who sees the benefit will do whatever it takes to make a profit. In particular, when the law does not prohibit it, there will be no bottom limit for this kind of profit-seeking behavior, and no lower limit will be set, and all kinds of bad and shameless things will happen. Therefore, there is law in the world, which is a compulsory measure that people have to use in order to ensure the smooth operation of society. But even so, in some dark corners where the sun does not shine, there will always be such and such unreasonable and unsightly things happening, but for various reasons, the law cannot control these things, which cannot but be said to be the sorrow of the world.
The van drove a cart of beggars forward, stopping to pick up a beggar from time to time, and from time to time a person who could move more or less freely. And the latter didn't have any begging props when he got on the bus, which means that the person who picked up after him was not a beggar at all, but a person like a guard.
Of course, most of the time, these guard-like people also have scars of one kind or another, and just holding the props is enough to transform them into beggars. This means that these people may have been beggars not long ago, but they have since changed their status and become a higher level of guard.
Thinking of what Zhou Hao said just now, Haji suddenly became enlightened, it turned out that nine times out of ten, these people were the kind of people who lost their conscience as Zhou Hao said. These people may have become disabled in the past, either voluntarily or involuntarily, but now they have turned themselves into caretakers of younger beggars, from those at the bottom to those with a certain position in the beggar gang.
Seeing this, Haji understands that this beggar gang is the **= naked animal world. If you want to live in such a gang, you can only be more cruel and inhuman than others. Sometimes, for the sake of a little status, or some special interests, these people even do not hesitate to step on others to climb up, this is the internal rule of this gang.
There is another thing that Haji also roughly understands, and that is why these beggar gangs buy and sell those who are disabled. Knowing the danger of keeping those who had been mutilated by themselves, those simply "sold" them to other gangs. In this way, even if these victims want to take revenge, they can't find the parties involved, and after a long time, they have to accept their fate. In turn, they are driven by a distorted psychology to impose what they have suffered on others, and then sell the victims to other gangs to satisfy their distorted psychology. As for whether the disabled people who are "bought and sold" are really bought and sold, or are swapped between gangs, only the insiders know.
Thinking about this, Haji not only felt sorry for these hard-working people, but also felt helpless for these former victims turned into perpetrators. Perhaps there is some justification for the existence of this gang, but this evil form of organization is disgusting. No wonder Zhou Hao showed a kind of resentment towards this organization, but also showed a feeling of helplessness, it turned out that he didn't have the confidence to escape from this organization!
Come to think of it, is there any other way for a person who is physically disabled to such an extent than to continue to earn a living in this organization until he dies? No, most of the people here are going to go with the flow. Or in order to be comfortable for the moment, they will impose their own sins on others, or step on others to climb to a higher level, and then just get by, until one day they become the boss of a beggar gang.
Thinking about this, Haji wanted to do this for Zhou Hao more and more. Maybe Zhou Hao, as a cash cow who was taken care of by the beggar gang, couldn't get out, but he still had a chance to get out and get these things out. As for how to do it, then we have to see the tricks. Anyway, others only thought that he was a stray dog who couldn't find a home, and no one knew that he was actually a person with human intelligence and was reborn once.
The van was overloaded, and there were at least fifteen people in the van that could only pull ten people. At least five or six of these people were thugs or guards, as evidenced by the position where they got into the car. These people often appear in the process of two beggars getting on the bus, which means that this person may be in charge of at least two beggars, and they are almost inseparable from them, I think this is the reason why Zhou Hao did not dare to leave rashly!?
The van swayed all the way to the outskirts of the city, the dirtiest shantytown in the city, where the first residents built a group of houses. Nowadays, it is filled with a large number of low-level migrant workers, who choose to live in this dirty and messy environment in order to save some money. It has also become a hotbed of crime, and every day people who don't know where they come from are mixed up here with their own thoughts, and there are all kinds of stories playing out every day.
The gang rented a two-room house, a small room for both food and rest in the evenings. Because there were so many of them, the beggars had to live in bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and even balconies. However, it seems that Zhou Hao's identity level is higher, and he actually lives in a bedroom with two guard-like people, which is enough to show his status in this gang. Although the two guards who guarded him didn't have much respect for Zhou Hao, this hindered the wariness of Zhou Hao in their eyes. At least this kind of gaze is not found in the eyes of the young guards in the living room, and it seems that those who sleep in the living room are the lowest status.
This can also be seen in the meals eaten by these beggars. The young beggars in the living room ate very badly, and they insulted the pigs by saying that they were eating pigs. Those ordinary guards ate a little better, but they were also ordinary boxed lunches or something. There are a few cores, similar to the guards of thugs, and Zhou Hao, as well as Qi Ye and others, eat quite well.
