Chapter 4: Seven Eggs, Two Slaps
When I woke up the next day, it was already dark. I had just stood up when I suddenly and involuntarily bent down. for my legs are so numb that I can't listen to them. It took a while for me to recover.
I was about to walk out when I suddenly saw someone writing a poem in red brick on the white wall where I was sleeping. When I walked over and took a closer look, I saw that it read: I have nowhere to live tonight, and I am wearing tattered clothes; Barely resting here, the cold wind blows cold and miserable.
Oh, I thought that only I had suffered so much, but I didn't expect that I was already a latecomer. But I wasn't in the mood to linger on that, so I went outside.
I got out of the room and walked forward again. As I walked, I walked to the edge of the railroad again. "Just go straight and see if you can walk to the platform of Wuchang Station?" I said to myself. So, I moved on.
Thankfully, I walked about half a mile and really saw the platform of Wuchang Station. So I picked up the pace.
When I got to the platform and found a place to sit, I felt hungry. yes, I haven't eaten all night since I ate that little bowl of noodles last night, so it's no wonder I'm not hungry. But how can you be willing to beg for food with this face? Besides, I'm still so young, even if I open my mouth, I'm afraid no one will give it.
I was thinking about it when I saw two people, one tall and one short, walking towards me. They were all in their early twenties, and they were dressed a little shabby.
The tall man was dressed in an old gray suit with three buttons, the one below which may have been dropped; He wore pants that looked like they were made of cotton.
The short man wore a dirty blue suit on his upper body, as if he hadn't washed it for many days, and he was wearing a black autumn coat inside. He was wearing jeans underneath, and there was a hole in the thigh of his left leg. They were all wearing a pair of leather shoes with a lot of wrinkles and peeling (I guess they were picked up.) )。
Before I could take a closer look, the big man had already consciously walked up to me: "Dude, what are you doing here?" "Nothing. If you don't have anything to eat, you're here to die! I said dejectedly.
"Where are you?" "Henan." I say. "Then we're fellow countrymen. Where are you in Henan? "Nanyang." "I'm from Zhumadian, and like you, I'm also a blind stream. Do you want to follow us? ”
"What do you guys do?" "Stealing, robbing." "However, I have little guts and dare not steal or rob." "Then you just give us the wind. Would you like to? ”
I was just about to answer, but the short man on one side said to the tall man with a disdainful face: "Big brother, you see that his beard is not like a sheep breed, he is just a nerd, he has to have guts or not, he has to see or not, and we are a burden to follow."
(The reason why the short man said this may be because I am still childish and handsome.) It's okay to be a good person when you're handsome, but it's okay to be a bad person, and others won't be afraid when they see it. )。
"Big brother" said to the short man disappreciatively: "Haven't you watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Cao Cao still has strategists under him. He always has some ideas for us when we get into trouble, so let's think of a way. ”
"Strategist? Big brother, do you really think he is Zhuge Liang. The short man finished and walked away as he pulled on his trouser belt. I guess he's going to have to go for a break.
After the short man left, the "big brother" looked back at me and asked for my opinion. I thought to myself, sitting here now is waiting for death anyway, it is better to follow them, maybe there is something I can do.
Thinking of this, I said to my "big brother", "Okay then. But I haven't even eaten now, how can I follow you? "You can rest assured. As long as you are willing to follow us, we will let you eat later. However, if the three of us don't bow in the future, it will be considered a swearing. From now on, you will call me 'eldest brother' and call him 'second brother'. ”
"Big brother" finished speaking, and pointed to the short man who had returned to him. At this moment, we saw an arriving train slowly approaching the platform.
Not long after the train passed us, we saw "Big Brother" running forward with it as fast as possible. When I got to an open window, the "big brother" grabbed a bag from it with lightning speed, and then quickly returned and ran towards me.
When he came to me, he hurriedly panted and urged, "Hurry-hurry-hurry!" Find a place to hide. "My second brother and I ran after him. We ran some distance out of the platform and saw that there was no one around us before we dared to find a place to sit.
I took a breath and opened the bag, only to see that there were more than 20 hard-boiled eggs inside, as well as documents and other things. I saw that there were eggs in it, and without the permission of the "big brother", I hurriedly picked one up and peeled it. I ate six or seven eggs in a row, and I choked on only burps.
When the "eldest brother" and "second brother" saw that I was taking the eggs to eat, they also took them and ate them. Unfortunately, there was no water or drink in the bag, and we just choked after eating.
Just as we were complacent, we suddenly heard the "big brother" say with a panicked expression: "Look, the police are coming." After saying that, the "eldest brother" threw a bald and blunt dagger in his hand into the grass not far away. He told us not to run and not to panic.
After a while, sure enough, a policeman came up. He picked up his bag on the floor, rummaged through it, and then asked us, "What are you guys doing here?" "Didn't do anything." "Big brother" said justifiably.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "snap", and the "big brother" still received a slap: "I told you to say that you didn't do anything." "And you!" The policeman pointed to the "second brother", "Come here!" The "second brother" was frightened and walked over very reluctantly, and the police also slapped him in the face.
"You!" The police pointed at me again. I cowered, walked over pitifully, and was slapped in the face. However, I felt that the policeman didn't seem to use as much force when he beat me as he did when he hit the two of them. I don't know if he guessed that I was instigated by professional sensitivity.
Then, the policeman pointed at the three of us and said, "Be honest with me in the future, don't mess around, you know?" I only grabbed a few things to eat today, so forget it this time. Let me meet again in the future, but it's not as polite as it is now. ”
Then, he asked for ID cards for the three of us. There were no of those, only mine for him to see. He wrote down my ID number and left.
Now that I think about it, the "big brother" caught no money in the bag. If I had the money, I would probably have followed the blame. Going to jail is not a good thing. It's not worth it to go to jail for a few eggs. What a blessing in disguise!
As soon as the police left, the "big brother" picked up the dagger again and carried it around his waist.
