Twenty kilometers north along the airport expressway, even in a closed car, you can smell an indescribable stench, which is the smell wafting from the large open-air landfill, where the domestic garbage of 16 nearby counties and cities is transported here for sorting and landfilling, and thousands of people rely on the derivative economy of the large garbage dump to make a living, where they live, grow old, sick and die, experience happiness and sorrow here, and the large garbage dump is their whole world, their garbage empire.

The open-air garbage dump covers a wide area, the core is a 700-meter-long, 500-meter-wide landfill pit, the airport highway on the west side, an abandoned waste-to-energy plant on the east side, and a rows of shelters built with wooden linoleum under the viaduct, where the garbage collectors live in, many of them are incognito fugitives, frustrated people, and blind scavengers who don't even have ID cards.

Seventeen-year-old Liu Kunlun did not have an ID card, he was born on the way to Xinjiang when his parents went to Xinjiang to pick cotton, because he passed through Kunlun Mountain, so he was named Kunlun, his father Liu Jinshan is a native of Cuizhai Village, Beihe County, Jiangdong Province, left home at a young age, and has been dragging his family to wander all over the world, when Liu Kunlun was seven years old, he came to the big garbage dump, and slowly took root with the skill of repairing old electrical appliances.

Liu Jinshan is addicted to alcohol, he beats his wife and children when he is drunk, the eldest sister got married early, the second sister went to the south to work, the third sister was abducted and her whereabouts are unknown, only the fourth sister and the youngest brother depend on each other, the spoiling of the sisters and the tyranny of the father, coupled with the rough and harsh living environment, have developed Liu Kunlun's unruly and wild character, and he is a famous ruthless character in the garbage dump at a young age, and a group of half-grown children listen to him.

At this moment, Liu Kunlun is standing on the commanding heights of the garbage mountain, holding a pergola and looking at the direction of the city, every day at a fixed time, a team of dump trucks will appear on the dusty road, injecting new blood into the garbage empire, those stenching domestic garbage, in the eyes of the people who pick up garbage, but it is the nourishment for survival.

Liu Kunlun looked at the electronic watch on his wrist, today's garbage truck came a little late, the fifteen-year-old little brother dirty child handed over a cigarette, the two teenagers held a cigarette, crossed their waists, standing in the wind, the sun rose behind them, the sun stubbornly passed through the layers of haze and smoke, and plated the first rays of golden red sunlight on the teenager.

The dump trucks carrying the garbage finally arrived, and the convoy slowly entered the landfill area to unload a truckload full of garbage with the fresh breath of the city, which was removed from the garbage the night before, although it went through the first baptism of urban waste pickers at the dumpster stage, but there will always be some good things left.

A group of long-awaited old and weak women and children rushed up with snakeskin bags, looking for valuable things in the garbage heaps where flies were flying, paper and plastic were the most common recycled materials, if you were lucky, you could pick up waste electrical appliances and old clothes, and if you were lucky, you would be pricked with needles in the hands of medical waste, and you would be infected with an inexplicable disease.

Liu Kunlun did not hunt for treasure in the garbage with them, but looked at the busy garbage customers like ants with compassion, he is the middle level of the food chain in the garbage dump, and is the person responsible for maintaining order, the garbage dump is a small society, people are divided into three, six, nine, etc., the sphere of influence is clearly divided, dry plastics will not touch waste paper, old clothes will not collect old electrical appliances, the bigwigs rely on recycling garbage to drive a BMW Mercedes-Benz, the price paid is the health and even life of the people at the bottom of these food chains, the lives of people who make a living in the garbage dump are cheap, many people do not even have a household registration, let alone go to school, they are killed in a fight, or unfortunately crushed to death by a dump truck, they don't need to call the police, the bigwigs mediated, sent some money, threw people into the fire, and turned into a wisp of black smoke in the sky with waste plastics.

Suddenly, the crowd picking up garbage erupted in exclamation, as if they had found something worth a lot of money, Liu Kunlun's squinting eyes suddenly opened, took out the skateboard with the wheels removed, stepped on it with both feet, and slid down from the high garbage mountain, landing in style, without picking up a piece of garbage, he separated everyone and came to him, only to see a dead man.

This is a bloodstained man, the people who pick up the garbage do not make a fuss, it is common to see dead people here, the gangs in the city are in flames, the common practice is to put the body in a box and bury it with the garbage, the people here know the rules, and they are more afraid of causing trouble for themselves, so they generally do not call the police when they encounter this kind of thing.

Liu Kunlun picked up a branch and poked the "dead man", he saw a lot of corpses, this body is still bloody, not the kind of white caused by excessive blood loss, although there are many wounds on the body, most of them are superficial cuts, and the skin is very appalling, but it will not hurt the internal organs.

The "corpse" moved slightly, and sure enough, it was not dead, Liu Kunlun groaned slightly, and ordered: "Call someone, move to our secret base, and then invite my fourth sister here." ”

The secret base is a scrapped Huanghai passenger car, the wheels are deflated, and the sofa that was picked up in the carriage was used as a meeting place by Liu Kunlun and his friends, and the man with knife wounds was thrown on the sofa, still unconscious, and the slight movement just now was just an unconscious reaction.

Ten minutes later, the fourth sister Liu Yimeng arrived, and Liu Kunlun said with a dedicated expression: "Sister, I found a wounded person for you to practice." ”

Liu Yimeng is eighteen years old, the angel in white is her dream, but she has no chance to enter the health school to study, a nursing foundation is all her source of confidence, in the face of the people who are about to die picked up by his younger brother, Liu Yimeng is very sober-minded, and poked Liu Kunlun's forehead with his finger: "What to practice! Don't hurry up and send it to the hospital." ”

Liu Kunlun said: "Look at this posture was cut by the enemy, and it was planned to be buried alive when it was sent here in a box, but sending it to the hospital hurt him, it's better for you to do it sister, save him." ”

The dirty boy also looked at him with a helping voice: "Sister, you will be merciful, and saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter." ”

Liu Yimeng is a girl's heart in the end, and after a few words of ecstasy, he was confused, waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I'll try, you can't do this, you have to buy a clean disposable mattress, and then buy iodine wine, cotton wool, gauze, anti-inflammatory drugs, saline hanging bottles, and a set of things for injections, remember to buy new ones." ”

Liu Kunlun rode a tricycle, took the dirty child to a small pharmacy five kilometers away to buy all these things, and when he came back, he spread out the stall, Liu Kunlun and the dirty boy raised their heads and threw the man on the case, and then remembered to search on him, there was no wallet, only an Ericsson T18 mobile phone, which was out of power and could not be turned on, Liu Kunlun casually stuffed the mobile phone into his trouser pocket.

Liu Yimeng carefully washed his hands, put on rubber gloves with care, disinfected the wound with alcohol, applied it externally with Yunnan Baiyao, and then wrapped the wounded like a mummy with gauze, and skillfully smashed the needle, pumped the medicine with a syringe, injected sodium chloride solution into the hanging bottle, and gave the wounded intravenous infusion.

After treatment, Liu Yimeng noticed the appearance of the wounded, this man was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a high nose, eyes under the sword eyebrows closed, angular lips also closed, weak breathing, and a pulse that seemed to be absent.

"Don't worry, I'll save you. Liu Yimeng held the wounded's hand and said.

"Sister, it's time to have lunch, it's time for our dad to lose his temper when it's late. Liu Kunlun reminded.

When the sisters and brothers returned home, lunch had just been made, the Liu family belonged to the upper class in the garbage dump, cooking was done with liquefied gas cylinders instead of firewood and wheat straw, there were Changhong color TVs and a desktop microcomputer in the hall, of course, they were all repaired waste electrical appliances, watching TV was used with an antenna pot on the roof, don't think about the Internet, there is no telephone in this place, let alone the Internet, although Liu Jinshan is irritable, but in the issue of children's education is quite passable, there is even a wall of bookshelves at home, full of old books bought by Jin Jin, Liu Kunlun is in contact with the books are extremely complicated, there are Tolstoy Alexandre Dumas Hemingway, there are also three words and two shots of the Water Margin Westward Journey, as well as tractor repair primers, basic militia training manuals, electrician basics, of course, his favorite is Jin Yong Gulong Huang Yi Ni Kuang.

There are white wine bottles and three bowls of vegetables on the dining table, fried peanuts are used by Liu Jinshan for drinking, shredded potatoes and cabbage stew are the children's next meals, before eating, Liu Jinshan rubbed the beard on his chin, and scolded his daughter and son as usual, their yellow-faced and thin mother stood at the door of the kitchen and did not dare to come out, just listened quietly.

After a cliché of so-called education, Liu Jinshan waved his hand: "Let's eat." ”

The two children finished eating tremblingly, wiped their mouths and ran away, and they came to the secret base together, a bottle of salt water had been beaten and there was not a drop left, and half a tube of blood was returned, Liu Yimeng hurriedly changed a new bottle of injection, took the blood pressure back with the potion, and patted his chest: "I was scared to death, and I almost died." ”

"Practice. Liu Kunlun comforted his sister, "I'm watching here, he can't die." ”

"You're fussy, I'll still watch it, you can help me cover for the house. Liu Yimeng said, taking out a snow-white nurse's coat and hat from her bag, which she herself made of white Laika cotton, and the red cross on the hat was slightly funny but very eye-catching.

Dinner was sent by Liu Kunlun to the secret base, the fourth sister ate, continued to hold the old book and read romance novels, and took care of the patient by the way, the sleeping man's breathing has been stable, the blood stains on his face have been wiped off, and he is as quiet as a sculpture.

At night, the wounded began to have a fever, his forehead was hot, and his body temperature was as high as 40 degrees.

"It's not going to be dead. Liu Yi cried out with a flat mouth, cried for a long time, tentatively touched the man's pulse, and the person did not die, but the fever subsided.

Exhausted, Liu Yimeng fell asleep on the head of the bed, saliva dripping from the corners of her mouth, and the pirated novel slipped to the ground, she was dreaming, dreaming that Prince Charming drove a motorcycle to the garbage dump to marry her......

After a night of howling west wind, the early morning sun sprinkled on the shoulders of Liu Yimeng's nurse's uniform, she woke up, looked up at the window, the haze had dissipated, the sun was shining, and then on the sofa, the wounded disappeared without a trace.

Liu Kunlun rushed to hear the news, looked around and still found no trace, he analyzed that the wounded probably woke up, afraid that we would ask him for medical expenses, sneaked away, but we don't suffer, his mobile phone is here. Although Liu Yimeng was unhappy, he still accepted this explanation, saying that as long as people live, it would be fine.

This incident was as if it had never happened, until the seventh day, Liu Kunlun picked up a universal charger in the garbage heap and threw it to Liu Yimeng to charge, after the battery was full, Liu Yimeng tried to install the battery, and pressed and held the power button, and the narrow green screen lit up, showing the words China Telecom.

Liu Yimeng fiddled with her mobile phone, and suddenly a line of phone numbers popped up on the screen, and the buzzer sounded, so frightened that she almost threw the phone out, and the buzzer kept ringing, Liu Yimeng hesitated for a long time and finally answered.

It's a strange man's voice, introducing himself as the person you rescued, thank you for your kindness, and if you need help, just ask.
