Chapter Seventy-Four: The Story of Wong Tsai

A head poked out of the staircase, and he said, "It's me, Dou Lei!"

"Oh!"

I was so upset at looking at him that I didn't want to pay attention to him, so I turned around and walked to the edge of the rooftop and smoked a cigarette by myself.

The night breeze was blowing, I was facing the world, the lights were bright, and the downstairs was a bustling city, and I began to think, why some people can occupy the top of the crowd, while others have to kneel to survive?

Should we linger or burn?

I'm starting to get confused, maybe sometimes, things don't just have two extreme choices?

Yu Hua said, we all live for the sake of living, so why do some people live proudly, while others live humblely?

Maybe everyone's life is a road without direction, and the key to where this road will lead depends on how we choose.

When I was falling into deep philosophical thinking, I suddenly heard someone crying, and looked in the direction of the crying, I saw Dou Lei sitting in the corner of the rooftop holding his knees and sobbing, and I couldn't help but soften my heart again, hey, a big man, living to such a point, must not be uncomfortable, right?

I walked up to him and handed him a cigarette, and he looked up at me, his eyes were red, and tears were slowly flowing down his face, I really didn't like to see this kind of scene, and after giving him the cigarette, I sat down next to him.

"Tell me, why are you so afraid of Liu Pan?"

Dou Lei turned his head to look at me and said in a crying voice: "Brother Song, lend me a lighter!"

I took out my lighter and lit a cigarette for him, and he took a hard puff before coughing violently.

"You haven't smoked?" I asked.

"Hmm!" Dou Lei said: "I have been well-behaved and obedient since I was a child, I don't be naughty, I don't fight, I don't smoke or drink (I can't help but want to remind him when I hear this, but I don't care when I see him too sad.) Maybe it's because I'm too honest, so I'm always bullied, from elementary school to now, no matter where I am, I'm bullied, when I was in elementary school, others always robbed me of toys and snacks, but I didn't dare to resist, because I resisted, that time a classmate robbed my comic book, I didn't want to snatch the comic book, and he had a fight, but the next day his father came to the school to find me, in front of the head teacher slapped me more than a dozen times, the head teacher not only did not persuade, but also followed me, since then, I have never dared to resist the bullying of others on me。 ”

"Hey!" I sighed, what a pitiful feeling, and I asked, "Then don't your parents know to protect you?"

Dou Lei said: "I am a left-behind child, my parents are working outside, I have been following my grandmother since I was a child, my grandmother is old, and she still farms at home every day, so after I was bullied at school, I didn't dare to tell her when I went home, I was afraid that she would worry!"

I took a puff of my cigarette and spit it out heavily, and I suddenly felt that the whole night sky was full of tears, and everywhere was bleak stories, and everything was not as beautiful as I imagined, and all the illusions of beauty were shattered in an instant.

Dou Lei continued: "After graduating from junior high school, I was admitted to high school, but my family didn't have the money to send me to school, so I came to the city to work, but I didn't know anything, only to do chores in the bar, but it happened that I came to Mo Ci Bar, and it happened that Mo Ci Bar had a Liu Pan who likes to bully people!"

I asked, "Then why don't you leave this bar?"

Dou Lei said: "Because I still have three months' salary here, and I offended Liu Pan, even if I run, where can I run? I can't live without a job, I'm so old, do I have to run back to the countryside to farm with my grandmother?"

Speaking of this, Dou Lei couldn't help crying again, I was so uncomfortable to see, I scolded: "Damn, he wants you to pay 10,000 yuan, your three-month salary is only a few dollars, don't want it, just leave here!"

Dou Lei kept shaking his head, cowardly so that I wanted to kick him a few times, he said: "Brother, where can I run to? I have to find a job here to support myself, I am penniless, and I can only starve to death when I go elsewhere." And Liu Pan won't let me go!"

"Damn!" I was really angry, stood up violently, and said: "Lao Tzu will go and solve Liu Pan now, waste his hands, and see if he dares to be arrogant in the future!"

I just raised my feet and wanted to leave, but Dou Lei hugged my feet and kept saying: "Brother, I beg you, don't worry about this matter, you can't beat Liu Pan, and if this matter gets bigger, what will we do in the future?"

Hey, that's what I'm saying, I don't care, it's the same everywhere, but what about Dou Lei?

I sat down again and said to Dou Lei: "Dou Lei, why can't you be a little stronger and more courageous? Think about it, your elderly grandmother, so old, still farming at home, she feels so sorry for you, and gives you the best she has, just to let you come out and bully others?"

Dou Lei's tears flowed down, and he shook his head frantically, "I don't want to, I don't want to, but what can I do, if I can't scrape together 10,000 yuan within three days this time, Liu Pan will definitely kill me, what should I do?"

I suddenly had an impulse in my heart, patted Dou Lei's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I'll pay for you for this 10,000 yuan!"

Dou Lei looked at me with incredulous eyes, and was about to speak, I knew that he wanted to refuse, so I patted him on the shoulder again, and then said, "Don't talk nonsense, I can't see this kind of thing." Actually, I'm even more pitiful than you, my parents died when I was in junior high school, and there was no one to protect me, so I can feel the feeling of being helpless. I'm not sympathizing with you, I just feel that I should help you. ”

Dou Lei burst into tears, looking at me speechless, I sighed in my heart, and then said to him: "But let me tell you, this is the first time I help you and the last time I help you, if you are still like this in the future, then even if you are bullied to death, I will not care about you!"

Dropping this sentence, I got up and went back to the dormitory, I am willing to help others, this does not mean that I am willing to do good forever. I'm not a living bodhisattva, and besides, my own way out is still a problem!

Nothing was said all night.

I got up the next day as soon as it was hazy, I wanted to ask Brother Snake for a long day off, but Brother Snake didn't live in the bar, I took out my mobile phone to look at the time, it was only six o'clock in the morning, it was still early to go to work, I thought maybe it was too late to set off now, so I didn't tell anyone, and then left the bar.
