Chapter 3: Encountering the City Gangsters
"This money is for you, not for him. The bald man still refused to take it out, and said shamelessly, "It's okay to give it to him, you can stay with me tonight, and I'll give you another 5,000, what do you think?"
"I said okay, don't do this. My cousin's eyes were wet in humiliation, "This money has been given to me, it is mine." What does it matter to you that I lend it to him?"
Lu Xinyu, who was pushed by the bald man and almost fell down in the aisle, stood firm, turned back to his cousin and said, "Cousin, I won't borrow this money, don't ask him! You don't want to do this business, I'm leaving!"
Lu Xinyu shouted, then turned around and ran towards the staircase.
ran out of the entertainment hub all the time, and he let the tears of sadness come out of his eyes. He wiped his eyes and gritted his teeth loudly:
"I must work hard to become a rich man, and then take revenge on those liars and unscrupulous!
"I want my cousin not to do that business, woo-woo-"
Lu Xinyu cried as he walked, crying as miserably as a dead person.
Lu Xinyu didn't borrow money, so he couldn't go back to the rental house, so he had to find a bridge hole and sit in it all night. He was bitten by mosquitoes and covered in red patches, and he didn't dare to close his eyes at all.
The next morning, Lu Xinyu got out of the bridge hole, but there was still no direction.
He walked aimlessly down the street with his head down, and then scrambled onto a bus. In the crowd of buses, his heart moved, and he wanted to steal money to get through the difficulties in front of him.
The thought of that thought made his heart pound. But in the end, he scolded himself in his heart for being unproductive, and gave up. He hops on and off at a bus stop and wanders down the street in a hurry.
Lu Xinyu looked around pitifully, but he had no relatives, his eyes were full of strange concrete forests, and he became a wandering boy in the city that no one cared about.
Lu Xinyu saw a construction site on the side of the street, so he wanted to drop out of school and go to work. He also wanted to find a small restaurant to work as a handyman and earn money to make ends meet. Now no one cares about him, he has to feed himself.
Lu Xinyu didn't dare to go back to the rented house, so he found a corridor in front of the store on the street and sat hungry all night.
The next day, Lu Xinyu went to buy two steamed buns to eat, and went to school in disgrace. Between classes, he tried to ask a wealthy classmate in his class to borrow money. Unexpectedly, this rich third-generation classmate lent him 5,000 yuan without saying a word.
Lu Xinyu went back to pay the rent and insisted on graduating from junior high school. The summer vacation began, and he had nowhere to go, so he went out alone, trying to find a part-time job to earn money to pay for tuition.
At the beginning of the commission, he will go to high school, and the cost will be greater, how can he do it without money?
On this day, Lu Xinyu came to the provincial capital by train, he thought that the provincial capital was prosperous and lively, and it should be easier to find a part-time job.
Coming out of the long-distance station, Lu Xinyu began to walk around the streets, looking for a part-time job. But after looking for a day, not a single unit wanted him, and they all said that they did not dare to accept child labor.
The next day, he had no money to eat.
By noon, Lu Xinyu was so hungry that he was penniless, and he didn't dare to steal. He had no choice but to squat on the side of the road and write a few words on the ground with a branch:
I don't have money to eat, please help me, thank you!
But few people threw money at him. Lu Xinyu sat there for more than two hours, as long as it was 23 yuan. He went to buy four steamed buns and a bottle of mineral water. After eating it all in one go, my stomach felt better.
There was no place to sit at night, so Lu Xinyu had to sit in the aisle under an overpass, asking for money while resting.
The first day was fine, no one came to catch him. The next morning, a chengguan came to catch him up and sent him to the aid station. For the first time, Lu Xinyu fled with other stall holders. But in the afternoon, Lu Xinyu was caught by a chengguan and sent to the city aid station. The aid station gave him good food and good sleep. But in just two days, arrangements were made to send him back to his hometown.
After Lu Xinyu heard this, he took the opportunity to go to the toilet in the middle of the night and escaped over the wall.
Lu Xinyu started running small restaurants again, and finally a small restaurant was willing to accept him, but he only took care of the meal and did not pay the salary, and Lu Xinyu did not do it. He has to earn money to pay rent, pay tuition, and borrow money, how can he do it without money?
Next, Lu Xinyu began to run the construction site, and one construction site was willing to accept him, but the salary was only 120 yuan a day, and Lu Xinyu did not do it.
He said to the shrewd contractor: "Why should people only give me 120 yuan a day if they have a salary of two or three hundred yuan a day?"
The foreman said, "You are too young to work." ”
Lu Xinyu said: "I can do the same work as adults, but with the same pay." ”
The contractor didn't give it, so Lu Xinyu still turned around and left.
At night, Lu Xinyu had no money to stay in a hotel, so he had to sit in that aisle all night. The mosquito bit him so much that he was covered in red lumps.
Mosquitoes are not scary, they are scary little hooligans.
Lu Xinyu sat until more than ten o'clock in the evening, when suddenly three angry thugs surrounded him, shaking their legs and looking at him contemptuously.
A thug with a tattoo said to him, "Where are you, what are you doing sitting here?"
Lu Xinyu found out that something was wrong, stood up and ran, but was chased by the tattooed thugs, grabbed him, and slapped him without saying a word.
Lu Xinyu was beaten to the point that he wanted to fight with him. There are three of them, how can Lu Xinyu not be able to beat them?
"What are you running?" the tattooed thug pointed at him, "you don't even have a place to sleep, so come with us." ”
Lu Xinyu refused, froze there and didn't want to go with them.
The tattooed thug coaxed him and said, "You follow us, make sure you have good food, good sleep, good clothes, and beautiful chicks to play with." ”
Lu Xinyu was moved by what they said, so he followed them lazily. They rode in a car, walked again, and came to a small hotel in the basement.
The tattooed teenager was named Li Xiaomao, eighteen years old, and dropped out of school before graduating from junior high school. After his parents divorced, he lived with his father. His father went out to work, so he couldn't control him.
He came to the provincial capital from a county below the year before last. He worked with two other teenagers, one named Hong Jiawei and the other Zhou Xiaojun. Zhou Xiaojun is sixteen years old, but his figure is tall, the same year as Lu Xinyu. Hong Jiawei is seventeen years old and short and stocky.
They opened two rooms in a small hotel in a basement.
Li Xiaomao lives in a room with Lu Xinyu, and Hong Jiawei lives in a room with Zhou Xiaojun. At first, Lu Xinyu didn't know what they were doing, but later learned that they specialized in stealing chickens and dogs, and often went to school to harass girls.
The night he stayed in the small hotel, Lu Xinyu slept soundly. But in the middle of the night, he was woken up by Li Xiaomao. Li Xiaomao pulled him up and said that he was going to carry out a mission.
Lu Xinyu asked ignorantly, "What task are you performing?"
Li Xiaomao said: "You just follow us." ”
