Chapter 6 is shy, shy, and struggling

Su Ling waited for the black and white impermanence to leave, and then had time to look at the entire room. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info she looked at it this way, and she really scared herself. This is a home, this is not much better than a beggar's nest, not to mention the four walls of the house, it is still dirty and tattered.

The only broken table and chair had also been shattered in Sanada Jiu's dying struggle just now. Su Ling wanted to clean up the house, but she really couldn't do it, she walked to the bed and pulled down the cotton wool, a sour smell came to her nose, and she hurriedly shook it off as if she had been electrocuted.

"How can this room be occupied? Su Ling couldn't wait to immediately turn around and go back to the underworld to complain to Black and White Impermanence, but she finally held back, she was afraid that she would never be able to return to the yang world after arriving at the underworld, she didn't like that kind of dark and lifeless hell life.

How good the sun is, the bright sunshine, the fresh air, the flowers and trees, the green mountains and the green waters, all this makes her so longing, so fascinated, no matter how hard it is, she can't give up the chance to live.

Su Ling carefully searched every corner of the room, hoping to find something valuable.

This lazy man is so poor that all his belongings are a broken cardboard box under the bed, in which are a pair of black trousers, a gray shirt, an ID card, and dozens of dollars, which seem to be the only most valuable belongings of this lazy man.

Su Ling took advantage of the dim light and looked at the ID card carefully, and only then did she really know herself. The big avatar of the ID card looks not ugly, born on August 13, 1976, and his name is Tian Jiu. Okay, I'm no longer Su Ling from now on, my name is Tian Jiu, born on August 13, 1976, this is my new identity. Su Ling adjusted her mood and tried her best to force herself to accept her new identity.

Su Ling, no, it should be Tian Jiu from now on, carefully put his ID card and dozens of yuan on the bed, walked out of the room, there was a well outside the house, and in the dead of night, he took off himself and washed it thoroughly. Starting tonight, he will change his face and appear in front of the world with a new identity and a new face.

The next morning, the sun poured into the yard like gold. Tian Jiu stood in the courtyard, after some freshening up last night, and changing into the only set of black trousers and gray shirt that was still clean, his appearance had been completely renewed, and he was completely different from the dirty and sloppy Sanada Jiu before.

He held his head high and opened his hands, hungry for the sun. This warm feeling seems to be caressed by the mother's tender hands, it is so long-awaited and so wonderful. Every cell in the body is like stepping on the strings, all jumping with joy and excitement. It's better to be alive, even if there is only a tiny glimmer of life, Su Ling will do her best to fight for it.

Su Ling decided to give up this dilapidated home. She put on the clean clothes, carried Sanada Jiu's ID card and the only few dozen yuan in her pocket, and walked out of the house in the morning sun.

From this moment on, she wants to manage a different life in the world as Tian Jiu's man, and her mind is blank on how to go in the future. Her current identity is a slacker with no relatives, is there still a place for her in this world?

This is a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the hard-working townspeople have already started their day's work. Although there are people coming and going on the street, it is not noisy and noisy at all, and the slow and quiet pace of life here makes Tian Jiu, who has been reborn, feel very cordial, as if returning to his hometown after a long absence, that simple and quiet small county town.

Tian Jiu walked on the cement paved street, feeling comfortable and excited, and a black earth dog on the side of the street wagged its tail desperately at him. A gentle breeze blows in the air, the air is filled with a faint scent of magnolia flowers, and the streets are lined with straight and straight magnolia trees.

At this moment, an old man with the burden of shaving his head shook a rattle and shouted to him across the street: "Young man, shave your head." ”

Tian Jiu touched his hair, it was indeed quite long, and I don't know how long it had been since Sanada Jiu, a lazy man, had not trimmed his appearance, and his black hair was like a black leather hat on the top of his head, stuffy and heavy.

Tian Jiu stood on his feet and asked, "Uncle, how much does it cost to get a haircut?"

When the old man heard this, he knew that business was coming, so he hurriedly put down the burden on his shoulders and smiled sweetly: "It's not expensive, it's just five yuan." ”

Tian Jiu thought to himself, five yuan is indeed not expensive, in the provincial capital, there is no thirty or fifty yuan for a haircut. It's just that he is shy in his pocket now, and five yuan is a lot of money for him.

The old man looked at Tian Jiu's hesitant appearance, worried that this hard-won business would be ruined, and hurriedly shouted again: "If you don't have four yuan, you can give four yuan, let my old man open it first, and have a good fortune today." "There is a custom among rural businessmen that the first business in the morning, whether it is profitable or not, must be done first, as long as it opens, the whole day's business will be easy to do.

Tian Jiu is not good to refuse, and the hair is indeed very long, it should be combed clearly, whether there are banknotes in the pocket is not clear to others, and the sloppy appearance is the fatal point. Although Tian Jiu has changed his appearance, the daughter's mind in the bone marrow has not changed, and his career as a salesman over the years has made him pay special attention to his appearance and speech and demeanor.

Tian Jiu sat on the chair prepared for him by the old man, don't look at the old man's age, his hands and feet were very neat, and in less than ten minutes, Tian Jiu's long hair had fallen under his feet.

"Young man, I'll help you fix your face, and you'll give you five yuan, how about it?" The old man squinted and stared at Tian Jiu, as if he had made a suggestion very casually, but he couldn't bear to refuse.

Tian Jiu smiled, nodded and agreed, originally he didn't want to give this less money.

"Uncle, how far is our town from the county seat, do you have a car to go?" Tian Jiu asked when the old man turned around to change the knife.

"It's not far, it's just about 20 kilometers, there is a small parking lot in the west of the town, there are minibuses and three-wheeled motorcycles, you can get there. The old man lowered his body and replied in a muffled voice, probably because he couldn't find the knife for his face for a while, and he was a little anxious, but fortunately, he finally found it after a few rummags.

"Is the fare expensive?" Tian Jiu waited until he finished trimming his face before continuing to ask.

"It's okay, 20 yuan for a minibus, 15 yuan for a three-wheeled motorcycle, and it takes more than an hour to get to the county seat. The old man is like a treasure, he carries the burden of shaving his head to go south and north for a long time, and he is very familiar with the price of the road.

After Tian Jiu finished cutting his hair, the whole person was relieved, and the hair covering his head was lifted from the top of his head like a grapefruit peel, and he was much more comfortable all of a sudden.

The old man tilted his head and looked at Tian Jiu, grinning: "After the haircut, the whole person has changed, young and handsome." Tian Jiu also smiled, he took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to the old man, saying, "Uncle, you really know how to do business." ”

The old man laughed and said, "Where, where, it's only enough to eat." Tian Jiu smiled and asked the old man about the specific location of the parking lot, and hurried to the parking lot in the west of the town.

The parking lot on the west side of town is indeed small, about the size of two basketball courts, and there are minibuses and three three-wheeled motorcycles parked in the field.

As soon as Tian Jiu walked into the parking lot, two men and a woman surrounded him, vying to be the first to do business: "Do you want to take a car? Our car can go right away, fast and cheap." ”

Tian Jiu had already asked the price, and he didn't want to spend extra energy to talk to other people, so he went directly to a three-wheeled motorcycle that looked more pleasing to the eye. The owner of the tricycle jumped into the driver's seat excitedly and shouted, "Let's go." The butt of the motorcycle "suddenly" spewed out a puff of smoke and drove out of the parking lot.

The owner of the motorcycle was a man in his early forties, babbling all the way, Tian Jiu was full of worries, how could he have the heart to tease him, just a few simple sentences, more than an hour away, and soon arrived at the county seat.

Tian Jiu asked the motorcycle to send him directly to the station in the county seat, and the people in the town were very talkative and readily agreed.

Arriving at the station in the county seat, Tian Jiu went directly to the ticket office, and when he inquired, a ticket to the provincial capital was nearly 200 yuan. Tian Jiu counted the money left in his pocket, and it was only sixty-three yuan, and he couldn't afford to buy a ticket home.

Tian Jiu stood at the ticket gate in frustration, looking at the car in a daze, it was really a penny to kill the hero. Tian Jiu is struggling now, if he wants to return to the provincial capital, it is even more difficult than climbing to the sky, it seems that he can only find another shortcut to make some money.

Making money is easy to think about, but hard to do. Tian Jiu is unfamiliar with life in this county, where can he go to make money. The sun is getting higher and higher, and the number of passengers at the station is gradually increasing.

A minibus slowly drove into the platform, and before the car could stop, seven or eight strong men had already run over with flat poles. As soon as the car stopped, the strong men immediately surrounded the door and scrambled to ask the passengers who got off the bus if they wanted to help with their luggage.

Eventually, five or six men received the business and helped the passengers pick up their luggage and walk out of the station, leaving two or three dejected and retreating to the side to wait for the next car to enter the station.

This is a kind of business in the county town that relies on manual work to make money, called porter. Help passengers pick up their luggage to reach the designated place in exchange for a meager income, and when there are many passengers, they can earn thirty or fifty yuan a day.

Tian Jiu's eyes lit up, isn't this going to be able to make money! I don't have anything else, I still have the strength after all. Just as he was thinking about it, another minibus drove in. Tian Jiu rushed forward quickly, squeezing in the middle of a few strong men to solicit business. Who knows that after a few times, it is always squeezed out of people for no reason. At first, he didn't care, until finally a strong man stopped him and drove him away, he suddenly realized that there was also a so-called turf dispute here, this was their territory, and outsiders could not be inserted.

Tian Jiu was so helpless that he had to withdraw from the competition and stay on the sidelines. It seems that this way of making money is not working.

Approaching noon, Tian Jiu had been squatting at the ticket gate for a while, anxious and irritable in his heart. The midday sun shone on his body, and from a distance, it looked like a clay statue.

He was so desperate to return to the provincial capital, to the provincial capital where he had lived for more than ten years. Not for anything else, just for the son he cared about and the lover he missed, and built a once warm home with one hand. Although he knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for him to return to their side and live with them. However, as long as he could go back, even if it was just to watch them from afar, he was satisfied.

The sun was gradually setting in the west, and Tian Jiu really had nothing to do, so he had to step out of the station and wander aimlessly on the street. Although it is only a small county town, due to the particularity of its geographical location, it is a transportation link, running through several surrounding tourist towns. The economic development of the county town has been very good in recent years, and the shops on the street are full of dazzling goods, and the scene of welcoming and sending them can be seen everywhere every day. As the wave of tourism continues to rise, the average income of residents is also rising.

Night falls quickly, the shops on the street are brightly lit, and the pedestrians visiting the night market are bustling with people. Tian Jiu found a roadside stall and asked for a bowl of chaotic noodles to eat. I was thinking about where to find a place to rest, and after a day of tossing, my body was already covered with dust, and I should find a place to wash.
