Chapter 3 The end of confusion is the way home
In the morning, Tongliao Railway Station.
Don't ask me where I'm from, where my hometown is far away, why wander, wander, wander......
There is Qi Yu's song in the semiconductor, Sanmao's lyrics are very beautiful, Li Muye doesn't know how to appreciate it, but because my sister has always liked this song very much, she is also familiar with this melody.
The sun shines in from outside the train station, and people on the journey are accompanied by the sound of music, some leave their hometowns, and some return to their hearts.
The strong calf-like Bai Peng appeared in sight, this deflated calf was the guy who snatched most of Li Muye's cake that day.
After returning to the north from Guangdong, Li Muye did not follow Li Qizhi's advice and turned himself in, but ran to Tongliao Railway Station to become a street child. In a flash, two months had passed since then. Li Muye, who had been wandering at Tongliao Station for two months, is now familiar with the situation around the train station. At night, there is heating in the waiting room, which attracts some street children to spend the night. Gradually, a small circle of rivers and lakes was formed.
This Bai Peng is one of them. When he first arrived, he snatched a piece of cake from Li Muye to eat. When he returned here three months later, Li Muye's courage and ability were no longer what they used to be. On weekdays, no matter how sloppy he is, he tries to keep his clothes neat, and Bai Peng secretly observed for a few days and found that Li Muye was also a wanderer, so this kid became bolder.
When he first came to find trouble, Li Muye did not hesitate to fight with him. didn't use any special means, and suffered a little loss, but with a ruthless force, Bai Peng was very sad. After that, he came again, and Li Muye didn't do anything with him, but dragged him to eat two large bowls of dry noodles at the cheapest noodle restaurant outside the station. Then the two became friends.
The two were the same age, and Li Muye was a big white peng for three months and became his wild brother.
Li Muye returned here because he couldn't remember where he was going. It's not that I didn't want to hear Li Qizhi turn himself in, but it was because I thought about it that I gave up the idea of going south to Hong Kong and returned to the north, but I really hesitated when I arrived at the doorstep. In a daze, he ran to Tongliao Station and became a homeless child.
Although I temporarily gave up the idea of going to Hong Kong, I still can't help but yearn for the Oriental Pearl when I occasionally watch Hong Kong movies and videos in the video hall of the station.
In Hong Kong movies, the people who fled there are called big circles, and according to the old bastards, there are some big circles that recruit desperate people from the mainland and train them to become killers. Those big circles live a life of guns and knives, slaughtering people with their eyes, and wandering romantically. Wearing a famous brand, driving a famous car, and soaking in the most beautiful girls. Li Muye was fascinated by what he heard at the time, and he didn't think at all that the old bastard who had been gnawing at the nest in Xinjiang for more than 20 years could know about the affairs in Hong Kong.
Famous cars and famous brands must be wanted, as for the most beautiful girl, forget it, Zhang Na is very good-looking, if Brother Ye has money in the future, he must go back to soak her. Buy her a lot of famous brands, give her a big brother, and you can hear her voice whenever you want, isn't it beautiful?
"Brother Ye. Bai Peng's voice interrupted Li Muye's thoughts, "K761 is still half an hour to enter the station, Li Chuang and they have already gone to wait in line for work, I want to go too, do you want to go? I am afraid of being borne by them alone, and I can't grab a good job, if we are together, they won't dare." ”
In addition to begging and stealing for a living, the most common livelihood of the street children in the train station is to carry bags for some passengers carrying heavy objects. At that time, there were many businesses that traveled south and north, and many self-employed people went directly to Guangzhou Baima Market to get goods, large bags and small bags, and they all relied on one person's back to drag and drop on and off the train. When the homeless children saw it, they went up to help, and usually asked for a piece or two dollars for food.
Also in order to settle down, Li Muye's enthusiasm for this work is far greater than begging.
Life is like an all-encompassing teacher, as long as you are careful enough, you can always learn something from her, whether it is good or bad.
Li Muye is a sensitive and tenacious person, very good at observation and learning. Even if the thousands of skills he learned can't be used, it won't affect him to find another job. After a few days, I found some way to do this job.
For example, when grabbing jobs, those single women with goods are far less cheerful than those young and strong men. If it weren't for the compulsion of life, what woman would be willing to live this kind of life by going south and north to beg for a living? Since life is difficult, it is natural to attach great importance to money. Also, no matter how heavy the stuff is when moving things for someone, you must pick it up high, and it must not touch the ground at all, and the traffic stops around the train station must be well understood.
Three hundred and sixty lines have produced champions, but champions are a minority after all. Some people can't be a contractor after working as a mason all their lives, not because they are not skilled or bad, but because they don't think about the hearts of the world.
Li Muye began to observe words and look at life from a very young age, and some habits have been tempered by life into the instinct of life. With such an instinct, he can always earn more by helping passengers carry their bags. This is also an important reason why Bai Peng likes to mess with him.
Not everyone can become the head of the chicken, and if the talent is not enough to serve as a team, it is actually not bad to be a queen. Bai Peng, as an old man in the station, is willing to follow Li Muye, precisely because he is optimistic that Li Muye can lead him to a better life.
To be honest, Li Muye actually didn't like this Bai Peng a little. Although this kid is five big and three thick, he looks like a Mongolian master, but in his bones he is an arrogant and impetuous, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard. It's just that a lonely tree can't become a forest, and a monofilament can't form a thread, so I took him to play with him out of the consideration of a hero and three gangs.
Today, Li Muye was a little lazy, lying under the heater leaning over, no matter what Bai Peng said, he didn't want to go out to work. He is now in a somewhat apprehensive mood, because the station police station has been setting up checkpoints to patrol this morning, strictly checking passing passengers. It inevitably made Li Muye, who was a thief, feel nervous.
Bai Peng was a little dissatisfied, "What's wrong? Brother Ye doesn't want to give face today, you don't like to move when you're full, brother, I'm still hungry." ”
This is the characteristic of the rabble, if being the head of the team does not bring benefits to the team members, they will immediately turn the table and smash the pot.
Li Muye said: "Your legs are long on you, if you want to go, you will go by yourself, you won't beg for a living without me before?"
Two policemen, a man and a woman, were walking towards this side, and Li Muye had some bad premonitions, so he pretended to be calm and unhurried, and was ready to escape at any time. Bai Peng mistakenly thought that he wanted to work, sighed proudly, flashed his fist, and said: "That's right, if Li Chuang and they dare to provoke us, with my fist to do it, you will be responsible for finding a job, and we are the best partners." ”
Li Muye ignored him, got up lazily, put his hands in his pockets, and swayed his body towards the entrance of the platform.
Suddenly there was a call from the female policeman behind him: "Hey, the two children in front of you are waiting for a while." ”
Bai Peng ran away, this kid sold a semiconductor for fifteen yuan a few days ago. It's not a big deal, but his courage is even weaker than Li Muye, who stabbed people and escaped from the door. Li Muye stood still, the male policeman whizzed past him, his speed was far faster than Bai Peng, and it was only a matter of time before he caught up with this kid.
This idiot is stupider than a pig. Li Muye scolded in his heart.
The female police officer came over and asked, "Boy, are you from Coal City?"
Li Muye is still calm, at least on the surface, or thinks he is relatively calm. I quickly thought in my mind that Coal City was my hometown. The policewoman asked as soon as she came up, obviously prepared.
Something is not good.
"Sort of, sort of. Li Muye glanced at the female policeman, who looked less than thirty years old, he rubbed his nose, and looked dirty: "Hello aunt policeman, I am from the countryside of Coal City, my father is in prison, there are many children in the family, and my mother can't afford to support it, so let me come out to beg for a living." ”
Grandpa Taizu said that if we are passive enemies, we will take the initiative, and if we take the initiative, the enemy will be led by our nose. This is true of war, and the same is true of speech. We start the topic first so that we can avoid topics that we don't want to talk about and tend to make us passive.
"I didn't ask you so much, you don't want to talk about uselessness, just say whatever you ask. The female policeman is not a vegetarian either, so she didn't follow Li Muye's routine at all, and asked that question again.
Li Muye nodded yes, and didn't say a word about the extra words.
The policewoman nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How old is this year?"
"Fifteen years old. "Li Muye deliberately lied about being two years old. Anyway, there is no ID card to verify, so no matter what you say, it is up to you to open your mouth.
"It doesn't look like it. The policewoman said, "At most, it's thirteen." ”
"The conditions at home are not good, the nutrition can't keep up, and my classmates are taller than me when they are younger than me. Li Muye followed her words and said nonsense.
The policewoman snorted and asked, "What's your name?"
Li Muye's afterglow noticed that the male policeman had caught Bai Peng, and deliberately replied loudly: "Daye, my name is Li Daye, and they usually call me Brother Ye." ”
"I just want to know your name, don't say anything else. The female policeman ignored Li Muye, beckoned the male policeman to bring Bai Peng over, and asked, "What did you do?" Why did you run?"
Bai Peng said: "Seeing that the government was afraid, I ran away in a panic. ”
"It's a shame that you are still known as Bai Daring, and you dare to learn from others to steal chickens and dogs with this psychological quality. The policewoman knew everything and was confident: "Ask you, what is the name of this new friend you are friends with?"
Li Muye's heart sank in an instant.
At this time, the male policeman added a sentence next to him: "There is a child named Li Muye in the coal city who stabbed the person into a serious injury, the person has been in a coma for half a year with brain injury, the matter is very serious, the police are offering a reward for the arrest of this Li Muye, and the person who provides the clue will be rewarded with 100 yuan." ”
