Section XV

Both the beater and the victim will be detained for five days, the tall guy will definitely have to postpone his trip, and the short bar owner's bar may be closed for a few days, and fighting is a high-cost affair.

He Sicheng noticed that there were several men in blue vests next to him, all of whom were about forty years old, and when he asked, he knew that they were all arrested for playing mahjong, and they would be detained for five days, and they could go out tomorrow. I don't know if a few people are civil servants, but it seems that they are all people with legitimate careers, and they must have been very difficult these days, and I don't know how many troubles I have to face when I go out.

Just thinking about it, the police on duty were calling for a concentration, and everyone hurriedly extinguished the cigarette butts, threw the garbage in their hands into the rubber cylinder in the center of the yard, and stood in line.

Entering the detention room, everyone sat on the bed and began to sit and wait for lunch, life is so simple and helpless! He Sicheng was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find a book without a book cover in the space under the bed, but unfortunately it was very thin, but after all, it was a book! He Sicheng usually likes to buy and read books, and books can be found everywhere in the office, living room, bedroom bed, and bathroom! He Sicheng picked up this book without a book cover and began to read it, it was a "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales", he felt a little regretful, but he could always help pass the time. Soon he put "The Daughter of the Sea", "The Ugly Duckling", and "The Lighter" ...... These fairy tales that I saw thirty years ago have been revisited again.

After reading the book, the meal had not yet arrived, and He Sicheng had to join the chat again. Today is the day when Liao's "God of Sleep" ends his detention, and it is rare that he has not slept again. Zhou Jianxin asked, "Brother Liao, you can go out today, are you happy?" "Happy, happy, of course happy!" Liao replied with a slight smile on his face. He Sicheng felt a faint sadness on Liao's face, he didn't understand very much, he would be free again, he should be very happy, why did he seem preoccupied? It wasn't until He Sicheng ended his detention that he realized Liao's complicated heart. Although Liao seemed to be preoccupied, He Sicheng still envied him very much in his heart, thinking that he still had seven days, and suddenly the whole person fell into despair again.

It happened that Xiao Guang was sitting opposite He Sicheng, and it happened that He Sicheng had the desire to understand this person who was older than him. He Sicheng talked to Xiao Guang, Xiao Guang was not tall, wearing a set of slim casual suits, with a flat head, fair skin like many people in S Province, and his eyes were not big, but his eyes revealed a kind of shrewdness. He Sicheng asked: "Brother Xiao, you are from S Province, why did you come to our L City? What business are you doing here?" "I have been coming to L City for many years, and I have not been able to do any business in the past two years. My friends and I put water money on the field. He Sicheng knew that the field he was talking about was a mobile casino, sometimes on the hill, sometimes in the hotel. The so-called "water money" is the casino loan shark, who is bad luck and loses all the money, there are special people to provide cash lending business, without any collateral, all by the understanding and trust of the borrower, thorough credit borrowing, but the interest is extremely high. This industry has been around since ancient times, and it is very profitable, but of course the risks are also very large, and not everyone can eat a bowl of rice. The world is like this, there is a glamorous side and there are places where the sun does not shine, and everyone's lifestyle is different, but the important thing is that everyone is trying to survive.

He Sicheng continued to ask: "Are you here alone, or have you already settled your home here?" "My wife and son are both in the provincial capital of S Province, and my wife works in the hospital, so I will go home every month to see the two of them." Ma Cheng quickly joined the conversation between the two, and he asked Xiao Guang: "Brother Xiao, your son should have graduated from college, right?" Speaking of his son, Xiao Guang's expression suddenly became sad, and he said: "Alas, my son didn't go to college and stayed at home." He Sicheng said: "The times are different now, not studying in college does not mean that there is no future, you don't have to be too anxious, I am born to be useful, and the employment problem will definitely be solved." Xiao Guang let out a long sigh, his face was solemn, and he seemed to have made a lot of determination before saying: "I'm not worried about his employment problem, my son is sick and mentally ill, and he has been treated for many years without any effect." Once he has a violent seizure, we can't control him as soon as he gets sick, so I have no choice but to send him to a mental hospital. The medical expenses and nursing expenses will cost tens of thousands of dollars every month, and if I don't look for some quick money, I can't support this family at all, otherwise I wouldn't have left my hometown and came here alone to eat this bowl of rice. Hearing that the No. 8 detention room was silent here, everyone felt sad for Xiao Guang's family affairs, and also felt difficult for a middle-aged man in his forties!

He Sicheng didn't expect that a random question would make Xiao Guang say his sad things, and he secretly blamed himself in his heart. He Sicheng is also a father, and he knows very well the significance of children to their parents, any child is just a speck of dust to the world, and any child is to his parents, he is the whole world of his parents! He Sicheng dare not imagine, nor can he imagine how his son's mental disorder will make Xiao Guang's world collapse!

It may be that He Sicheng's question aroused Xiao Guang's desire to talk, and seeing that everyone was quiet, Xiao Guang began to tell everyone his story. He Sicheng once read a post on the Internet that said: The average man speaks 7,000 words a day, and the average woman speaks 20,000 words a day. For a man, 7,000 words have been said at work, and there is nothing to say when he goes home. For women, 10,000 words at work may have to be said again when they go home, and even for stay-at-home mothers, 20,000 words need to be finished when their husbands come home...... So don't be too long-winded with a woman, be a good listener, and let her finish her words if you love her. I don't know if the statistics of this post are true, but there must be some truth, women are more talkative than men. And men, who think they are strong and want to save face, always act like they can control everything, and pretend to be B! Talking is sometimes a way to vent. When vented, there is less psychological pressure, which may also be one of the reasons why women live longer than men.

In fact, no matter men or women, they always need to talk to each other! God will never let anyone go easily, and the adult world is full of difficulties, and in real life, this kind of difficulty is often related to money, and money is mainly related to men! In the movie, Supreme Treasure said to Zixia Fairy: "If I don't wear a golden hoop, I can't save you, and if I wear a golden hoop, I can't love you!" In reality, the migrant worker who moved bricks said to his wife: "I can't hold you if I hold bricks in my hands, and I can't support you if I don't hold bricks." But sadly, in the busy and real life, men may not be able to find a person to talk to in the vast sea of people, maybe he has parents, he has lovers, he has children, but when he wants to talk to someone full of heart and pressure, he will not choose them. Because he just wants them to be happy, he will only suppress his frustration and sadness with a smile, and say to his family: It's okay, I'm fine, really good!

The small space shortens the distance between the men, because they have never known each other and know that they may never see each other again in this life, which shortens the psychological distance of the men, so they will share the secrets they have hidden for a long time, and will show that they are the least willing to be seen by others as weak. Special time, special space creates a special intimacy! Maybe Xiao Guang's desire to talk has been waiting too long!
