"Is this what Master is talking about? The house is so tall and beautiful!"

The boy hiked for three days, and finally walked out of the mountains and mountains to a nearby prefecture-level city, which was also the first time in his life that he saw a busy city, everything was so novel.

A few days later, after a period of adaptation and exploration, the teenager gradually gained an understanding of this unfamiliar environment, and summed up the most important point: if you want to survive in this society, you can't do it without a job, otherwise you won't be able to fill your stomach.

Although he has relied on the steamed buns in his backpack for some time these days, and rested under the overpass at night when he was sleepy, saving a lot of money, but as time goes by, the steamed buns will always be gone.

"No, I'm going to be hungry if I keep going like this. ”

At sunset, in a corner of the city, the boy touched his chin, looked at the stream under the bridge, and fell into deep thought.

"Begging?"

Suddenly, a beggar in tattered clothes came to his mind, and in the small mountain village below the mountain in the past, he often saw similar people, and most of the kind and simple villagers would get some rice from their homes to help.

"No, no, no, Master said that men should be self-reliant, and blindly reaching out to ask for it will erode people's will and become lazy and cowardly. ”

"Then what can I do?"

The boy asked himself, and for the first time in his life, he felt lost about it.

Until the next day, when he had no purpose at all, he walked down the street and saw a group of acrobats, and without a flash of inspiration, he had an idea.

Soon, he prepared simple props such as sticks, bricks, and wooden boards, and learned how to set up a stall.

Not to mention, the effect is surprisingly good, the first time the show of acrobatics next door overwhelmed the limelight, vigorously split bricks, kicking wooden sticks, that is fist to the flesh, compared to the next door is undoubtedly more exciting, really surprising, attracting many people to stop.

"Boy, yes, I've made a lot of money this day. ”

In the evening, when it was getting dark, the boy cleaned up the broken bricks and planks on the ground, and was about to end the day's performance, and just as he stepped forward to see the fruits of his hard work, an untimely voice sounded.

His face froze, and in his eyes, a figure bent down to pick up the bowl containing the fragmented coins, and looked at him condescendingly.

A group of five people is the gang of acrobats next door, and it is obviously not good.

"The bowl is mine, trouble back to me. The boy is colorful.

The first person was abused and abused, and under the eyes of the young man, he slowly took out all the money in the bowl, and put it into his pocket as if no one was around, and then said: "Of course, the guy who eats, there can't be any mistakes." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and returned the bowl to the young man in front of him, but when the young man just stretched out his hand, the bowl in his hand suddenly fell, and it fell to the ground and shattered.

"Oh, I'm sorry, you're so good, I thought you could catch it. ”

"Haha......"

The young man calmly looked at the faces of the group of people, his face expressionless.

A few people in a group no longer disguised, standing in a row, fierce and inward-looking, commanding.

"Boy, do you know what the rules are? This is our territory, you come here to rob your peers of business like this, but it's a big taboo!

Hurry up and get out of the way, eat elsewhere, forget it today, we can not blame the past, if Ming'er still sees you, we can't mix, and you don't want to eat with peace of mind!"

A few people were arrogant, and after glaring at the young man fiercely, they walked away.

When night fell, the sight of the young man was hazy, and it seemed that the unpleasantness just now did not happen, and there was not the slightest anger to be seen.

He looked at the broken bowl on the ground a little blankly, sighed for a long time, and then slowly shook his head, and then disappeared into the night.

In the next few days, he kept changing places, either being expelled by the chengguan or being squeezed by the nearby thugs, resulting in no success.

There is no endless road, and it is impossible to do it, but through these days of walking, the boy has found a place where he can work.

In the afternoon of midsummer, the construction site can be said to be in full swing, and after some inquiry, the young man found the contractor as he wished.

"Boss, do you still need someone here?"

Suddenly asked, the foreman was a little impatient, and he didn't look back, "Yes," while commanding, he shouted: "Hurry up, I haven't eaten at noon." ”

The young man then cautiously, "Then do you think I will succeed?"

At this point, the foreman of the contractor had to look at the thin boy in front of him, and sneered without sneering: "Heh, what can you do with your small body?"

As if he didn't hear the meaning of the words, the young man solemnly pointed to the worker who was passing by with a load of bricks, "I can do this." ”

The foreman raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling amused, as if he had lost interest, and after signaling to the worker, he looked elsewhere.

The young man has a yellow complexion, a thin body, an obvious lack of nutrition, and is still young, where can he have the strength to do such tiring work on the construction site?

However......

"Damn, what did this kid eat to grow up, it has to weigh more than 100 pounds, it looks easy, it's just a natural power!"

Hearing the voice in his ears, he was a little surprised, and when the contractor turned around, he suddenly saw a young man carrying a load of bricks, smiling: "Look, is it done?"

......

A few days later!

"Boy, I'll leave the rest to you, I'll go eat first. ”

"Okay, Brother Dog, I'll finish moving in a while. ”

"The cement here also helps me get it. ”

"Well, good. ”

......

"I don't know where the boss found such a strange thing, not to mention the strength and ability to work, and you can save half of your salary, it's really worth it. ”

"Be quiet, what does this stupid boy know, if he hears it and knows that he has less money, who will help us work in the future. ”

Hearing the sound of speech clearly in the distance, the young man looked up, wiped the sweat from his forehead under the scorching sun, smiled, and did not care.

A few months have passed, and the boy's life is on the right track, not only has a full meal every day, but also saves hundreds of dollars in his hand, has his own dormitory, and has a stable life after changing the previous style of eating and sleeping.

On this day, the construction site was on holiday, and several people in the dormitory disappeared as early as last night, most of them went out to have fun all night.

"Xiao An, don't you go out to play on vacation today?"

The boy smiled, "I don't have any places I want to go, so I won't go out." ”

The man got a little closer, looked at the unoccupied dormitory, and then said softly: "Xiao An, usually in the dormitory, what do you think of my brother to you?"

The young man glanced at the person in front of him, and his heart suddenly understood, but he didn't say anything, and nodded innocently, "It's good." ”

"Then in this case, you see, can you lend some money to my brother? I am old and young, and my family depends on me to support me, and the monthly money is sent back to my family, and now I am really short of money, and I can't afford to eat. ”

Silent, the young man did not express his position for a while, and seemed to be a little hesitant.

"How's that? You're going to have to help my brother. ”

"Good...... All right. ”

After hesitating for a while, the boy finally spoke.

Hearing this, the man was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Haha, I know that Xiao An is the best for you, my brother remembers your favor, and I will pay you back when I pay my salary in Ming'er." ”

After saying that, after the money was in hand, he walked out of the dormitory very simply, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in his heart, anyway, this stupid boy can't spend it if he has money, and it's useless to take it, it's better to play with Lao Tzu.

He didn't take the morning to heart, and took advantage of this hard-won leisure time, and in order to treat himself, the boy planned to go to a nearby food stall to have a good meal.

In the evening, walking in the dark and uninhabited alley, his steps suddenly stagnated, and his ears clearly heard a few unusual movements, and when he frowned and heard the sounds, he could see several men surrounding a woman in the middle, one of whom was committing atrocities.

"Stop!"
