A few hours ago, it was about 20:35 p.m.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy hesitated to walk into a lottery shop on Changling West Street.

He plucked up the courage to speak, "I ...... I'd like to ask, do you have people in the store?"

The owner of the lottery shop paused for a moment, and then smiled: "No need, no, little brother, you don't seem to be very old!"

The little boy replied with some timidity and disappointment, "That's a disturbance!"

With that, he walked out.

……

Then the other party walked into the Malatang restaurant next to him.

"Boss, are you recruiting people in your store?"

The little boy gritted his teeth and said, "I...... I'm looking for a part-time job. ”

The boss of Malatang laughed jokingly: "You're too young, you're still in school, right?"

"But I have time in the evening, and I can come in the evening, Saturday and Sunday. The little boy replied anxiously.

The boss of Malatang shook his head with a smile, signaling that there was no need for it.

……

Shoe store.

Little boy: "Are you recruiting?"

The clerk replied with interest: "Recruit!"

The little boy seemed to see hope, and he excitedly asked, "Then can I do it?" I can come in the evenings and on Saturdays and Sundays. ”

Several shopping guides in the store smiled, how could anyone go to work like this.

And even if it's a part-time job, it's not arranged like this, but this child is too young.

"Are you eighteen years old?" the manager smiled and shook his head, but asked anyway.

The little boy held back and responded, "I, I'm just more tender." ”

The shopping guide replied with a smile: "Are you still in school, are you in high school?"

The little boy replied with difficulty, "Not yet!"

Everyone looked at each other, and there was a feeling of crying and laughing, this middle school student who had not graduated from junior high school.

"I can't recruit you like this, and you're still studying, so you can only find a part-time job!" explained a young shopping guide.

The girl next to her also shook her head with a smile: "It's also difficult to work part-time, there may be summer jobs, but it's not a holiday now!"

The little boy sighed, "Excuse me, I'll go somewhere else and ask!"

……

In this way, he went in one store after another, and basically asked the same question after entering.

"Are you recruiting?"

"Do you want to work part-time?"

As a result, more than a dozen stores refused, and even if there was a need to recruit employees, they basically didn't dare to take him in.

"Alas, young man, it's not that I don't help you, it's that you're really too young!"

"And you're still studying. ”

"It's good if you look mature and sophisticated, but now you know that you're underage. ”

"No, no, it's too small!"

"That's definitely not going to work, go go, go back to study!"

"What kind of work is such a small job!"

"It's not about salary, it's really not about you. ”

"If you don't study, you can't do it, it's too small. ”

The more the little boy asked, the more desperate he became, he almost begged the boss to take him in, "I'm really short of money, I can, or if I stay in the kitchen to help, no one will see them." ”

"You don't have to pay a high salary!"

At this moment, the owner of a restaurant sighed, shook his head with difficulty, and said, "What about your family?"

The little boy's eyes were slightly red, and he gritted his teeth and whispered, "My mother is hospitalized, and I want to make money." ”

The boss's eyebrows furrowed vigorously: "What about your father, what about your grandparents?"

The little boy choked up and said, "My dad ran away and owed a lot of money for gambling, and now everyone is looking for him." ”

The boss knew when he heard this that it must be the recent World Cup that was harmful, and he looked at this kid and blamed him.

In fact, he had already seen this child just now, and asked from door to door.

There is indeed a lack of a waiter in his shop, but the key is that this child is too young and he is not sure.

The little boy begged with red eyes: "Boss, I can do it, I don't study anymore, I come here every day, can you give me a month's salary advance in advance?"

"My mom is still in the hospital!"

"Waiting to pay the money!"

He sobbed and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "I can do anything, and I am willing to let me do the work of two people alone." ”

"Please!"

"I really need this job!"

Seeing this child so difficult, it is inevitable that I will be moved by compassion!

The proprietress was also a little unbearable, so she walked over and said, "If you don't do this, just say that a friend's family came to help." ”

The little boy seemed to grasp the straw that saved his life, and he knew that many places did not dare to ask for him, just because he was too young.

He replied anxiously: "Yes, yes, yes, I said that I came to help." ”

The boss frowned, then walked over and said to his wife: "No, you see that this child is still so young, and it is not a way to drop out of school now." ”

"Besides, in his current situation, maybe the family's medical expenses will not be enough by then. ”

"I think it's better to let him contact his family and relatives. ”

In this way, the little boy walked the entire Changling West Street.

None of the shops dared to take him in, and basically let him study hard and find relatives and friends to help.

Hell, this child is extremely stubborn, but he is not willing to provide information about his relatives at home.

I have to come out and work on my own to make money.

From the beginning of trying to go to school and work part-time, he finally lied that he had stopped studying and had come out a long time ago.

He even lied that he was already sixteen years old, and in two years he would be an adult.

But after all, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he didn't look like an adult at all, and still no one wanted to take him in.

Gradually, time passed.

Changling West Street also slowly deserted.

The little boy finally came to the door of the Wentian Pavilion, and everyone said that if there was really no way, they went to find Master Li.

But it's not open.

"Anyone?"

"Hello, is anyone there?"

He knocked on the door outside the Heavenly Pavilion for more than half an hour, but no matter how much he shouted, no one answered.

There was a bang.

The torrential rain poured down and trapped him here completely.

As the night grew deeper and deeper, he accidentally got wet with his clothes, and he shrank in the corner, and he choked and cried alone.

He didn't know what to do, it seemed to be getting colder and colder.

He didn't dare to go home, for fear that the debt collectors would still be blocking the door.

Stomach growling.

This heavy rain seems to have been held for a long time, and it has been falling endlessly.

Time seemed very long and torturous at this moment, as if there was no end in sight.

……

The long night finally faded silently.

Wait until dawn.

The number of people on Changling West Street gradually increased, and everyone was shocked to find that there was a child sleeping here.

"What's going on!"

"Orphans? It doesn't look like it!"

And the surrounding shop owners also spoke: "This kid hasn't gone back yet." ”

"Oops, it's pitiful to sleep here for one night. ”

The owner of the convenience store next to him sighed: "This kid wants to find a part-time job, and the family has difficulties, but he is too young." ”

"I know this kid, his dad is a gambler!"

"A few days ago, someone came to the door and poured red oil on the door, which is scary!"

"Gambling hurts!"

It wasn't long before the crowd instinctively gave way to a way.

Li Mowen's mobile phone rang early in the morning, and several neighbors saw this scene when they were exercising in the morning.

So there was a knock on his door at seven or eight o'clock, and he got acquainted with it directly, and rushed over before he had time to eat breakfast.

At this moment, I saw the little boy who was cowering, very tired and still asleep.

He showed a solemn look, and on the way over just now, he also heard the people around him talking, and probably knew what was going on.

Li Mowen pushed the frame of his glasses, wanting to see if something big had happened to this child.

[Name: Li Weixun]

[Luck Value: 1 (Gone Astray)]

[Health: 78]

[Current table tennis level: 38 (amateur level), potential ability: 93 (world-class top level)]

There's something wrong with this little ghost.

The auspicious sign is actually "going astray", that is, if you don't care about it, it is very likely that you will go to the point of no return.

Since the family is short of money and can't find a job, maybe they will do some petty theft.

If you run into some social lawbreakers, you will basically be abolished in this life.

But what is extremely interesting is that this little guy seems to be particularly good at national sports, which is worth a little thought.
