And just like that, I was assigned to the main gate, and I thought that for the next nine days, I would probably be working here all the time, and what a boring, boring day it would be.

To my surprise, something happened in the afternoon, and when I was disbanded in the evening, I was notified that I was transferred to the West Gate, that is, the security checkpoint that Team Leader Zhang was responsible for.

It was around 3 p.m., and there were a little more tourists visiting and buying cars today than yesterday, and the work was busier and more stressful. I took advantage of the absence of the leader, and put my hand on the guardrail behind me to relieve myself, and my back hurt. kept repeating the sentence listlessly:

"Please queue up in an orderly manner, wait patiently, take the tickets, check the items you carry, dangerous items are not allowed in the venue, people with lighters, please hand over the lighters, take a sip of water, thank you for your cooperation!"

From time to time, I looked at the tourists in line and a few colleagues holding hand-held detectors in the guardrail who kept checking people, and kept repeating these words over and over again, which made my mouth dry. The company would send us mung bean soup every day at noon, and although it was not very tasty, it was said to have some cooling function. The price of mineral water and drinks in the neighborhood has doubled, and I really can't afford to drink it.

In the past two days, no less than 5,000 people have walked in front of me, ranging from the elderly in their sixties and seventies to children as young as a few months. The old people always come in a team in the morning or evening, maybe just after practicing square dance in the square next to it, come to see a lively, some people heard that there are not only cars inside, but also car models, to buy tickets, they shook their heads and left, some are still interested in insisting on going in to see, it is really people are not old, and it is not said that the car show can only be seen by young people, when people were crazy, we still don't know where it is.

Of course, most of the tourists who come to watch, "young people" between the ages of 20 and 40, are generally the only ones who need to buy a car. There were so many people walking in front of me, and many of them made a deep impression on me. There are people wearing tank tops with tattoos on their arms, people in suits and leather shoes carrying briefcases that look like they want to talk about business, and there are young people who are dressed fashionably and have strange hair. Of course, most of the people still wear casual clothes and come to visit in groups with their families.

Some people just don't call lighters anyway, some people can cooperate with my work, some people swagger away without looking at us, and they always look impatient at the security check. Some people are extremely uncooperative when asked to drink.

It's like a certain big brother, who said for a long time, and in the end we either drank water or didn't go in, and reluctantly took a sip. also said extremely arrogantly:

"See? This is iced tea, not gasoline, do you want to smell it again, I really took chicken feathers as an arrow." ”

Because for some safety reasons. Anyone who brings water into the arena must make sure that he is bringing water and nothing else. So the most intuitive way is to let everyone take a sip or throw the water away, because there is water and drinks sold in the venue, even if the price inside quadruples.

Sometimes we turn a blind eye and don't find fault like that, but not all of us are that cooperative. So occasionally we have this kind of tough attitude, even if we don't give me face, then why give him face? No matter how good you are outside, at this security checkpoint, we have the final say, saying that you can't go in, you just can't go in.

The students didn't see much at that time, maybe the exhibitors didn't think they could make their money, just like I had never heard of such a car show in school before, let alone those middle school students who were busy studying all day.

The crowd they advertise is not students, of course, students don't have that much time and not so much money to buy a car, even if they come to watch, tickets are still a little expensive for many people, and they can't be discounted with student IDs. The Ningxia Science and Technology Museum next to the Convention and Exhibition Center, the museum, that's where students want to go, and there is no admission fee for getting a student ID. What young people watch at the auto show, they haven't reached that age yet. If you don't study hard now, you won't even be able to afford a car wheel in the future, just like me.

"Dude, do you want to drink water? I see that you don't even give out mineral water, so we will give you drinks. It's so hot, why don't you come and take a sip, don't be polite to me. ”

"No, thank you. Work hard, don't let the leader see and scold me, I'm okay if you're fine. ”

"I see that you and the guy opposite have been standing for almost an hour, no one has changed shifts, you guys are very tired, they can still take the time to sit for a while at the security check, you all the time standing. ”

"It's okay, it'll be a shift change in a while. ”

Although the flow of people has been continuous, the guy next to him has been very idle, you really chatted with a few girls next to him who checked the tickets together, and talked to me from time to time.

I looked at my watch, and in a few minutes it was time to change shifts, and I could finally take a break. In addition to hearing some sighs, I looked up and found that the crowd queuing up to buy tickets in front of me was a little commotion.

"You see, I'll go over and see what's going on, I'll call you if there's a situation. ”

It seems that before the other side was with me, he said hello to me, said hello to the team leader at the security check inside, and after getting her consent, I curiously walked over to the ticket sales to see what was going on.

By the time I walked past, the crowd at the ticket office had dispersed, and the man who had dispersed them and expressed disgust was standing next to the ticket office window.

It was an old man with a cane, his clothes in tatters, and his body was extremely dirty. Judging by his gray hair, he should be over 50 years old. I don't know how long I haven't taken a shower, my long hair is messier than yellow weeds, and I carry a nylon bag on my back, I don't know what it contains, judging from the shape, it should be some bottles and cans. His dark face was covered with dirt, making it difficult to see his face, and I could smell the stench of his body from several meters away. So I can understand why everyone is scattering, covering their mouths and noses with a look of disgust.

When the ticket clerks in overalls saw me coming, they covered their noses with toilet paper and said impatiently, as if they had seen a savior:

"You deal with it quickly and let him go somewhere else, but it will affect my ticket sales in our place. ”

"What's going on? Is he going to buy a ticket?"

If this person really wants to buy a ticket, I have no reason not to let him buy it, and of course whether he can go in after buying a ticket is another story. While engaging in the service industry, there is no need to come up and keep a straight face, the customer is God, no matter what kind of customer he is.

"I don't know, he didn't say anything when I asked him a few times, at first we thought he was here to beg, but it didn't look like it, she didn't say anything we sent, as if she didn't understand or what, it seems that this person seems to have a problem. Hurry up and drive him away, in case he falls here, he doesn't dare to help him, and if he is falsely accused, then the problem will be big. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to his head, indeed, in the case of my country, generally people who wander the streets and beg have mental problems, or because of some special reasons. You should be one of the former. I asked him several times and he didn't answer me. And his eyes are different from ordinary people, he can't see any spirit, maybe he really has a problem with his brain.

And looking at his rickety and emaciated torso, he walks with a shaky look, and he may fall at any time. This is also one of the reasons why everyone does not dare to approach, after all, some things are happening at the moment, so that everyone does not dare to approach these frail old people easily, especially those who are delirious and unable to communicate. If something really happened, I can't say clearly.

Although I could smell the stench, and there was some resistance in my heart, I was more sympathetic, after all, he was already an old man with gray hair, wandering around the streets, without clothes, without food, and even without sympathy and no one willing to help him. I think no matter how mentally problematic and unreasonable he is, I think he should be able to feel that loneliness, that rejection, and that cold eyes. So in this hot summer, he didn't feel hot in so many tattered clothes.

Everyone was looking at me and hoping I could do something, so I wasn't a police officer, but now I'm wearing a uniform with the word secret service written on my back, even if I'm just a temporary worker, just for that pitiful part-time salary, but at the moment I'm wearing this dress, I should take my share of responsibility.

"Uncle, do you want to buy a ticket? If you have any questions or need help, you can tell me and see if I can help you?"

He still looked at me with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't understand what I was saying, but I could feel that when I was talking, his attention was all on me, especially when I made some movements, and her body reacted a little, maybe he was not attracted by my voice, but remembered the dress I was wearing. It's not like the people around me scoff at me and disdain for my identity.

After asking for a long time, he still didn't say anything, just kept mmm

Finally I asked everyone to get out of the way, and pointed to the shaded place at the foot of the wall over there, and asked him to go and sit. There were people around him urging him to step aside, and some even spoke ill of him. Standing in line under this scorching sun and wasting time here, no one is getting impatient.

Maybe he didn't want to stay here, but when he saw that there were many people, he came to see the excitement, and finally walked away slowly, and I and a few conductors were relieved.

"Excuse me, buddy, it's better for you to talk. ”

"It's okay, it should be, call us if there's something. ”

As soon as the people left, the crowd immediately returned to their normal way of buying tickets and queuing up as if nothing had happened, and I also went back to my security checkpoint and continued to stand guard. Although this kind of thing is not very common, it is not the first time, because there is a lot of traffic in this neighborhood, so it always attracts a lot of beggars, and we do not expel them, as long as they do not affect the normal order, he is for life, and we are for life.

"Liu Pengju, what happened over there just now? There are too many people and I can't see clearly, and there are too many people here, so I can't leave. ”

"Sister Wang is fine, just now there was a madman from the ticket office over there, standing there and not leaving, but now he is gone. ”

"It's good to go, there are many people here now, just pay attention, I just heard that someone lost the bag inside, you remember to remind everyone to pay attention, take care of your own things, don't lose them, we are not responsible for losing things inside. ”

"Please line up, maintain order, take care of personal belongings, there are many people in the venue, and you must do a good job of preventing theft. If there is a lighter, please call to hand over the lighter, smoking with open flame is strictly prohibited in the venue, and dangerous goods are not allowed. ”
