Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Funan River

The Funan River is not a famous river, it quietly passes through the city of Shudu, nourishing this land and the people here.

Shudu people are notoriously laid-back, this cosmopolitan city does not have a suffocating rhythm like other cities, the people here are always smiling, walking slowly, in their spare time, they like to do three things, play mahjong, eat hot pot, and then drink next to the Funan River.

The night of the Funan River is beautiful, and the neon lights reflect on the surface of the river, like countless colorful candle flames jumping.

Poof!

A hemp bag was thrown into the river with many stones in it, as well as two people with their hands and feet tied.

Throughout the ages, at the bottom of this river, I don't know how many bones of heroes and heroes were buried.

Zhang Zhening first felt the biting river water freeze to his bones, and then, as if he was pressed by something on his chest, he wanted to gasp for air, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was poured into it by the cold and biting river water.

I heard that people who have been drowned will first feel extremely uncomfortable, then it will be bitterly cold, and then the body will become warmer, and then the consciousness will become more and more blurred, and they will remember many things in the past, and then die with a smile on their faces.

Zhang Zhening is the same, he seems to see the scene when he was born, a small life was announced with a cry, small and wrinkled, looking particularly ugly, but very cute.

Then he grew up slowly, he was undernourished and developed relatively late, he was bullied since he was a child, and when he was bullied, he never dared to fight back, and he didn't even dare to raise his head to look at each other's eyes.

He's a piece of shit, a straw bale.

Then, inexplicably, in the classroom of a class, the soul traveled to the other world, turning over his hands to clouds and raining over there.

Then he seemed to be a different person, then he was down, and then he was thrown into a sack and thrown into the river.

His consciousness blurred, and a peaceful smile hung over his lips.

Suddenly, the dantian part beat slightly, as if another heart had grown in the dantian part.

Plop! Plop!

The more he jumped, the faster he jumped, and finally, a warm True Qi suddenly burst out, filling every meridian and every cell in his body!

Zhang Zhening's eyes opened suddenly, and his body immediately lost weight like a leather ball, and then floated fiercely towards the water.

The rope tied to his hand was suddenly broken, he struggled to tear open the sack, and swam to the shore with Fang Yiming, who was tied to him.

Fang Yiming closed his eyes and smiled, no longer breathing and pulse.

Zhang Zhening pressed his chest hard and gave him artificial respiration, but Fang Yiming still showed no signs of relieving.

Zhang Zhening is in a hurry!

He had no choice but to gamble, luck with all the true qi in his body, and pressed hard towards the Baihui above Fang Yiming's head!

If he failed, Fang Yiming's head would be opened, and if he won the bet, his true qi would smoothly enter Fang Yiming's body.

Ahem –

Fang Yiming suddenly coughed violently, and kept choking on water, feeling as if his internal organs were on fire.

Zhang Zhening finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes went dark, and suddenly he didn't know anything.

When he woke up, he was lying on a lawn, and the sun was so hot that he couldn't open his eyes.

"Fuck, I thought you were dead!"

Fang Yiming, who had been guarding the side, cursed, raised his hand and wanted to slap the other party, but he still didn't slap it, and then his brows, which had been frowning for a week, finally relaxed, revealing a long-lost smile.

"Where am I, how long have I been asleep?" Zhang Zhening felt dizzy and said a very clichΓ© nonsense.

"You've been in a coma for a week, and if you don't wake up today, I'm going to bury you alive!"

Fang Yiming's face was haggard, he hadn't slept well for a week, and he stayed next to Zhang Zhening almost every inch.

He didn't have a dime on him and no ID card, so he couldn't go to the hospital, so he waited for a miracle on a lawn near the river beach.

Fang Yiming would pour water into Zhang Zhening's mouth every day, and then rub the vegetable leaves and rotten fruits he picked up in the nearby vegetable market into a paste with stones, break open Zhang Zhening's mouth and pour it into it little by little.

Since he was a child, he learned to take care of people for the first time, and he took care of them so meticulously. So be careful.

The two sat next to the Funan River, silent, not knowing what to say or what to do next.

"Shu can't stay anymore, let's find a way to get out of here, change cities and continue to find a way. ”

Zhang Zhening used a wooden stick to boredly scribble on the river beach, and then broke the small wooden stick in two.

has just escaped from the line of life and death, even if they are down, they will not have the idea of suicide.

"I'm not leaving!"

Fang Yiming stood up, looked at the slowly flowing Funan River in front of him, and took a deep breath, "I have been in Shudu for more than half a year, I know this place, this place is full of opportunities, there is gold everywhere, Brother Hai and the boss These people can only be regarded as a small role in Shudu, we don't have to care, as long as we don't go to the vicinity of Shaoling Road, just change places and take root." ”

Fang Yiming is very smart, even if he is reduced to a waiter in the club, he is not idle, in his free time, he will think, ponder, and know the city of Shudu very well.

"Okay, listen to you, then where do you say we're going next. Zhang Zhening also stood up and looked at the Funan River flowing quietly in front of him.

"Let's go to the eastern suburbs, which are far away from the city, and the security is not very good, which is suitable for people like us. ”

Fang Yiming let out a long breath, then clenched his fists hard, gritted his teeth and said, "I swear that one day in this life, I will throw Brother Hai and the boss into the Funan River and let them taste the taste of being drowned!"

Zhang Zhening picked up a stone from the ground, then floated on the river, clapped his hands, and said, "Let's go, listen to you, go to the eastern suburbs, we can go to odd jobs, if you can't do it, you can go and ask for food, I haven't done this, as long as I live, I have a chance, in order to live, I can do anything." ”

Since that day, there have been two more young people in the eastern suburbs, who squatted at the base of the wall with a group of migrant workers on the street corner during the day, waiting for their employers to come to the door.

Occasionally, there are less attentive employers who don't need to check their ID and ask them to help with the cleaning and do some rough work.

But most of the time, they don't have any work.

Not only do they not have ID cards, but they don't know any skills, and now migrant workers are looking for work, and they will put a sign in front of them with words such as: drill holes, unclog sewers, clean smokers, seal balconies, etc.

And Zhang Zhening and Fang Yiming didn't write anything in front of them, because they didn't know anything.

Sometimes, when they didn't have work for a few days, they would wash their clothes and kneel down on the street, in front of Fang Yiming's beautiful drawings in chalk and Fang Yiming's letter of help in Chinese and English.

The beautiful books and exquisite paintings made the people who passed by sigh and believed in their identity as "poor college students", and then donated generously.

Odd jobs require skills, as well as food.

Their income for kneeling for a day is two or three hundred when they are good, and more than 100 when they are almost there, which is equivalent to a month's salary of an ordinary white-collar worker.

They rented a house nearby, which was dilapidated and old, but the rent was cheap.

There was no furniture inside, so the two of them bought two bamboo mats and two low-quality quilts to lay on the floor.

The eyes of other beggars are cloudy and confused, but their eyes are always so firm and full of hope.

They never worry about their future because they know that as long as they live, they will have a chance!

Sometimes, other beggars will deliberately come to find fault with them, but they will always be beaten by the two.

Fang Yiming, the former chief of the upper circle, eats abalone and drinks shark fin, and is hugged by people, he only needs a look to get what he wants.

Now, he kneels on the streets begging, eats unhygienic food at food stalls, and fights with other beggars for territory.

Moreover, he has never complained about anything, this is Fang Yiming, the Fang Yiming who can bend and stretch!

Opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared.

And Zhang Zhening and Fang Yiming are already ready, if they are given a chance, they will definitely fight with their lives.

However, this sudden appearance cannot be accurately said to be an opportunity, it should be said that it is a person.

On this day, the two knelt from noon until half past eight in the evening.

It was already dark, the clouds were thick, and the phoenix was starting to blow, and it should have been a stormy night.

The two of them stood up, moved their legs, which were a little numb from kneeling for too long, and then cleared the change in the box.

The income is good, and today I actually earned three hundred and eighty-five yuan and five cents.

Fang Yiming said, "Let's go, let's go have a drink, occasionally we still have to be extravagant." ”

Zhang Zhening smiled and said, "That's a must, I must drink tonight." ”

Fang Yiming shrugged his shoulders disdainfully, "Bragging, don't play drafts!"

At this moment, more than a dozen people suddenly appeared in front of him, all holding the guy in his hand, and walked towards this side with expressionless faces.

"Well, you've made a lot of money today. One of the leaders said with a grin.

When the two looked at it, they recognized that these were beggars from this area, and they often fought with them on weekdays.

"What's the matter, I haven't fought enough, and I still want to continue practicing?" Fang Yiming didn't take the other party seriously at all, because even though there were only two of them, when they really started, these dozen beggars were beaten everywhere by them.

"I'm not going to play with you today, if you want to play, just tell my eldest brother. ”

As he spoke, the beggar leader looked in one direction and showed a flattering smile, "Big brother, it's them, they've been here for more than a month, and they're still robbing them of their jobs." ”

In the dark, two people walked out, a man and a woman, the woman was very beautiful, the man's expression was flamboyant, hugging the woman's waist, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and he walked over and said to the two, "I'm grass your mother, it's too late to kneel down now......"

Suddenly, the man stopped talking, as if he had been under a spell, his mouth was wide open, and his eyes were full of incredulity.

The woman, on the other hand, hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand and almost screamed.

And after Zhang Zhening saw the other party clearly, he suddenly laughed and smiled at the man, "Big brother, raise your noble hand, don't hit me, because I'm afraid of pain!"
