Chapter 50: Sneaking away
When I entered the workshop, most of the workers were grinding the furniture with sandpaper. Xiao Zhang and I found someone to talk to. The man told us, "The work in this factory is very hard, and you young people can't stand it. Look at me, my fingers are worn out. ”
Then he stretched out his hand. I took his hand and took a closer look, and there were band-aids on the index and middle fingers, and the worn flesh was exposed where it didn't reach, and it looked like goosebumps were all over the body.
"It's too hard. I said to Xiao Zhang beside me after reading the man's hand. Xiao Zhang agreed with me. At this point, Humpty Dumpty brought us in and went to his office.
But when he left, he told us who could go to him if he had anything. So I went with Xiao Zhang to find the people who had come in with us and asked them if they would like to work here. None of them were willing.
So, I proposed, since we didn't want to work here, we might as well go to him together, ask him to give us our luggage, and then leave. So, we went to Humpty Dumpty's office together, and one of us took the lead in saying what we thought.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his words came out, the man was furious: "What? Do you want to leave? None of you can leave." You just ate my food, and you didn't give me work, so you want to slap your ass and leave. There are no doors! Hurry up and get me back to the workshop! Otherwise, I'll find someone to beat you up later!"
We touched a nose of ash and had to go back to the workshop again. Not long after we returned to the workshop, the fat dead man sent four fierce thugs to stand at the door of the workshop and watch us work.
At this time, Xiao Zhang glanced at me, and I understood, so I took a gauze cloth and pretended to work there. And at this time, Xiao Shen, who came in with us, didn't know where he went. I guess he went to find his fellow countrymen, so he didn't ask Xiao Zhang.
It was only in the evening that the fat man sent us the luggage. Xiao Zhang and I only took out a quilt. I discussed with him, we can't go openly, how about walking secretly?"How to go?" Xiao Zhang asked me.
"Don't you see the iron gate, we can climb over there. I said. "When?" "Tonight." After 12 o'clock. I said. After discussing it, Xiao Zhang and I slept there and pretended to be asleep.
After a long while, estimated to be about 12 o'clock, I quietly pushed Xiao Zhang. Xiao Zhang woke up immediately. We put our luggage lightly and put it behind the door.
I motioned for Xiao Zhang to stay in the house for a while, and I wanted to go out and watch the wind. I walked out of the dorm door, pretending to go to the bathroom, leaning against a dark spot in a corner.
I saw a light in a room not far ahead, and there was a noise from inside from time to time. Maybe people are playing mahjong.
After a while, he saw a man come out, and he looked around, and then unbuttoned his pants. "This hanging hair is really not exquisite. "I think.
When the man came back after a small relief, I estimated that no one would come out again, so I crept in to find Xiao Zhang. "Do you want to talk to Xiao Shen, he is my fellow countryman after all. ”
"Say anything, and no one can leave. In addition, we don't know where he sleeps, and when we find him, everyone in the audience will wake up. ”
Xiao Zhang heard that I was right, so he stopped mentioning the matter of looking for Xiao Shen, followed me, took the luggage, half-bent over, and walked forward. When we got to the door with the lights on, we bent lower and walked more carefully.
We tiptoed and held our breath to get past the lights, and then cautiously walked towards the iron gate.
When I got to the door, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the iron gate was about a foot high from the ground, and people could climb through it. This way, you don't have to climb over the gate to avoid making a noise and being discovered. I think.
We stuffed our luggage out first, and then crawled out of the gate one after the other. Out of the gate, we got up, picked up our luggage, and ran like crazy for a while before we dared to find a place to rest.
The two of us just rested for a while, and Xiao Shen also caught up. Xiao Zhang asked him, "Why did you come out too?" Xiao Shen said angrily: "You guys go, why don't you say hello to me?" Xiao Zhang said, "I think you may not leave." ”
We hadn't said a few words before two followed, and then three. After a while, all the people who had applied for the job last night came out.
However, we didn't get together for a while, and we dispersed because of disagreements. The others were also in groups of three or two, and they didn't know where they went.
I discussed with Xiao Zhang and Xiao Shen to spend the night in the wilderness. We found a flat lawn free of insects, spread three snakeskin bags containing quilts on the ground, and then spread a small quilt, and we covered Xiao Shen and my quilt, and slept with our heads covered.
I thought it would be too cold to stand it, but I didn't expect us to fall asleep like that.
The next day, Xiao Shen and Xiao Zhang went to find another fellow countryman and asked me if I would like to go. I said that I couldn't get used to Xiao Shen and didn't want to go with him, so I asked Xiao Zhang to follow me to the labor market to find a job.
When Xiao Shen saw me like this, he asked Xiao Zhang who he was going with. Xiao Zhang thought for a while and said to me: "After all, Xiao Shen and I are in the same village, so I'll go with Xiao Shen." And just like that, we broke up.
