The mobile phone, which has long been in arrears, seems to have lost its true value, but Abin still sighs a little, for him, this gadget that can hear the sound of thousands of miles away is a miracle, although he may not understand its truth in his life.

Putting down the mobile phone and lying on this not very comfortable bed, Abin looked up at the crumbling ceiling, thinking about what a group of people had become in the past two years, he missed, and no longer missed it all the time, the wanderer's small wine table, Li Banruo's story of the rivers and lakes, the fifth child who was the head of love but never mentioned the past, the fourth child who was silent but had a more delicate mind than anyone else.

Everything is so real, Hejing, Liu Ameng, Chuangzi, the fat Tang Jin, Yingzi, Guanzi, Wang Tao, Chen Dongliang and Grasshopper, that is, such a small group of people, support half of the rivers and lakes in Xicheng.

In the end, what Abin thought of was Jiu Ye, the man named Wei Jiu, who shaped his outlook on life in this river and lake, even if this river and lake were barren, but there was only one exception.

In his imagination, the man's vanishing back slowly froze, and then slowly turned his head, as if he was smiling at him when they first met, saying that the truth was ten thousand times better than this one thousand times better.

A gust of wind blew, blowing away his back, and then a black hand suddenly grabbed Ah Bin's heart, Ah Bin woke up suddenly, and found that he had a lot of cold sweat on his body, he gasped for breath, and the bad news was like a heavy lock tied to his body, as if pulling him into the abyss.

The night had reached the deepest part, Abin left the bed, did not dare to continue sleeping, crawled into this terrible nightmare again, he took out the last money given to him by Guo Yegun from his bag, put on the same green tracksuit, and opened the door and went downstairs.

The dark corridor gives people a big mouth like an abyss, which makes people's backs chill inexplicably, but for this man who can survive for a month in the mountains that do not see the light of day, darkness is the best disguise, but it will reveal those things that cannot see the light.

The sound of high heels from far and near triggered the voice-activated light, and a woman in scantily clad clothes went up to the third floor on this autumn night, and happened to meet Abin who was downstairs, and the two looked at each other like this, and then passed by.

It was a look with a thick mockery, combined with that face with heavy makeup, through her dress, how can Ah Bin say that he has also been in the wanderer for a few months, and he has seen a lot of fish and dragons at the bottom of this society, and he can roughly guess the profession of this woman.

But he was not disgusted, and it seemed to him that this kind of people were just selling their bodies for life, and there seemed to be not much difference between them and those who sold their souls for life.

But this world always has a story of 50 steps and 100 steps, so it is difficult for this kind of people to survive, only to live at the bottom and the bottom, feel the deep malice of this world, bear the sinister under the oily face, but never see a trace of light.

Therefore, Abin is full of sympathy for this kind of person, but what can he do? He can't change such an environment, he can only do it without being changed by such an environment, after all, everyone has their own life, he can't save her, for a fallen person, the only one who can save himself is himself.

Walking down the stairs with this thought, I didn't see any other figures, the timid and scared hotel owner at the counter was playing with the old desktop computer with a sense of age, and when he saw Ah Bin coming down, he was puzzled at first, because in his memory, there was no such visitor.

"I'll return the scissors. Abin put the scissors on the counter and said in a calm tone.

The little boss was stunned, looked at the familiar scissors on the counter, thought of something, and then looked at the current Abin, only felt a little trance, and couldn't imagine that in this short moment, the guy who was like a savage just now had such a earth-shaking change, which can't be described as a changed person at all.

"You... You... What the hell are you doing?" said the little boss in a staccato voice, as if he hadn't fully digested the changes in the man in front of him, because the man in front of him lowered the brim of his hat, so he couldn't see the man's face clearly, only a terrible scar on his chin, which gave the little boss a big impact now.

"I'm just a stranger. Listening to the incoherent voice of the little boss, Abin said with a slight smile.

Even though this is a face full of vicissitudes, full of traces left by pain, but a momentary smile, actually gave people a feeling of sunshine for a while, in such a small boss who was tumbling and crawling at the bottom, it was strange to see this smile like a sunny sun, and he was extremely vigilant, but he slowly let down his guard in his heart.

Because from the bottom of his heart, this little boss can feel that this man has no hostility, if there is hostility, he will not talk to him here, he took out a box of Hongtashan from under the table, took out one and handed it to Abin.

Abin shook his head and refused, saying that he didn't know how to smoke.

The little boss didn't have a trace of stubbornness, he lit it in his mouth, swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog and said, "Brother, is there anything I can help you?"

Ah Bin took out the two remaining bills, put them on the table and said, "Boss, please help me pay the phone bill of two hundred yuan." ”

The little boss who thought there would be something bad in his heart after hearing this simple request, the stone in his heart slowly fell, he took the two red bills, this time did not confirm the authenticity, directly put them in the drawer, and tinkered with the computer that could still run, and asked a little competently: "Number." ”

Abin burst out a string of numbers twice in a row.

The little boss typed down the string of numbers, and reported it to Abin again to make sure that it was correct, and then pressed enter, then flicked a long cigarette ash and said, "It will be there in half an hour." ”

"Thank you. Abin said, then turned around and prepared to go upstairs.

"Hey, this city isn't as good as you think. The little boss was looking at this man full of stories, and couldn't help but stop and say, this is the only experience he has lived in this city for nearly 20 years, which comes from his bones.

Abin stopped, turned his head to look at the honest little boss, and felt that this middle-aged man was a little cute, he nodded slightly, and said respectfully: "Thank you." ”

The little boss didn't know why he suddenly said such a thing, and then waved his hand and said, "Collect the room at eight o'clock tomorrow and go to sleep." ”

Abin smiled and prepared to go upstairs.

But as soon as he took two steps, the noisy sound came from the dark staircase, which made Abin frown.

The little boss also heard something, got up and left the counter, and looked a little stumbling when he walked, obviously with a problem with his legs and feet, and the whole person was not a little strong that a northerner should have, and he looked very thin and a bit of an addict.

There was another "bang", and the sound of hurried footsteps went downstairs, and there was the sound of cursing behind him.

A woman with loose hair stumbled down, not a bystander, it was a dusty woman who had just passed by Abin, and behind her was two bastards with bare arms and various patterns tattooed on their upper bodies, one was covering his bloody forehead, and the other was carrying a baseball bat in his hand, scolding and chasing after her.

How did this woman in high heels run past these two vigorous men, this woman was caught up before she ran out of the hotel door, and was kicked to the ground directly by the foot in front of her, not at all like treating a woman, more like treating a brute.

After seeing such a scene, the little boss immediately figured out what was going on, generally because there would be some such contradictions because the prostitution was not negotiated, but when he noticed who these two men were, his face turned green, and he immediately staggered up and persuaded: "Brother Dong, what's the matter?"

The man with blood on his forehead turned his head, glared at the trembling little boss and said, "This girl dares to take my money, and she doesn't ask who covers this piece." ”

The woman who fell to the ground did not scream in panic, but just glared at the man with a black dragon tattooed on his shoulder, who did not look ordinary stubborn.

When the little boss heard this, his face turned red, and he immediately looked at the girl he had never seen before, and reprimanded: "Where are you mixed up?

"Third child, teach her a lesson. The man who was called Brother Dong covered his wounds, and said angrily, if it was rumored that he was opened by a *, he would really be embarrassed and embarrassed, where is he still interested in doing that kind of thing now, I just want to let this woman who doesn't know the height of the sky know what the price is.

Another man with a baseball bat did not hesitate, and walked directly to the poor woman who fell to the ground step by step, looking unambiguous at all.

The little boss's face was red and white for a while, according to the development of this situation, he really dared to make a human life, then his future business will be difficult to do, his family is counting on this small hotel to live, he pulled Brother Ladong, begged: "She just came out to do it, I don't know how to do it, you make a price, I will give money, don't kill people." ”

Brother Dong, who was angry, saw that this little boss dared to pull him, as for the little boss's bitter pleading, in his opinion, he was completely pointing fingers, and he was immediately unhappy, kicked on the stomach of this little boss, and scolded angrily: "You are a hanging hair, wait for me to clean her up, and then slowly settle this account with you, if you don't give me a clear understanding of this matter, I see that you will not open it in the future." ”

This middle-aged man, who was already thin and had inconvenient legs, could not withstand the kick of this tiger-backed man, and was directly kicked out a few meters away, fell heavily to the ground, and then disappeared.

And the man standing at the top of the stairs had been watching all this, his fists seemed to be slowly clenched.
