Chapter 169: Gloomy

After a day's rest, Li Tian's fever has basically improved, and tomorrow is Saturday, so he decided to go to Yan Feng, because he hadn't contacted her for several days.

In the morning, he still accompanied the two girls to go shopping, and only returned to 'Susie Huang' in the afternoon, and finally tasted Zhou Min's craftsmanship again in the evening, Yan Feng was so happy that he had to go to the kitchen to help.

Everyone ate the meal very happily, and after eating, Yan Feng suddenly remembered that he hadn't bought the fruit yet, and just wanted to go down to buy it but was stopped by Li Tian.

"I'd better go, you and Sister Zhou have more conversations!" Li Tian said to Yan Feng with a smile, and then walked outside. Of course, it was not unconditional for Li Tian to buy fruits, as a reward, Yan Feng and Zhou Min rewarded Li Tian with a kiss.

It's late autumn, the weather is really a little cold, I didn't go to the supermarket and saw a peasant woman pushing a tricycle to buy oranges, her face was full of wrinkles that made it impossible to see her age, and a ragged cotton dress could be seen that her life was very hard. It's not a taste to look at the other party's Li Tian's psychology, compared to these people, he is like living in heaven. And they represent the vast majority of China's peasant brothers and sisters.

The peasants are the greatest, but they often live the poorest lives, thinking of the scum like the surname Tian, Li Tian feels that God is really unfair sometimes.

When I came to the front of her fruit stall, I bought whoever bought it anyway, and I was ready to go back after weighing five catties of oranges. Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure on the corner of the street, it was Song Yang. Seeing his sad face, you know that he must be not doing well now.

"Song Yang!" Li Tian stopped him from afar.

"It's Brother Li, is there anything wrong?" Song Yang raised his head when he heard someone call his name, and when he saw that it was Li Tianhou, his expression was a little happy, but his eyes kept avoiding Li Tian's gaze.

"How about a drink?" Li Tian would not understand? Pointing to a bar on the side of the road.

"Yes!" Hearing Li Tian's words, Song Yang thought about it, and then nodded.

"Are you doing?" After ordering two glasses of red wine, Li Tian looked at the other party and asked.

"I'm a vagrant now!" Song Yang sighed and said, then looked up at Li Tian, "Brother Li, I still want to thank you, Mr. Xu has already told me that it was you who asked for me, otherwise I would really not be able to face Wang Gang and them in the future!" ”

"Don't say so much, but why did you agree to Taitian Company to do this in the first place? Don't you do it without thinking about the consequences? Li Tian frowned and looked at the other party and asked.

"It's all my fault for being young and ignorant, and overestimating myself. I always think that I can do everything, and I should get a higher salary and a better treatment. Suddenly, one day, the deputy manager of Taitian Company came to me and wanted to buy the customer information and some quotations in Meiya's hand at a high price. At that time, my department happened to be in charge of this, and I didn't know what was wrong, so I suddenly agreed when I saw Qian Yankai. You know, now there are college students everywhere, it's hard to work early, and my family is not very wealthy, and when I see so much money all at once, my psychological defense line is broken. That's why I did so many things that harmed Meiya, I really damn it! After Song Yang finished speaking, he slapped his two mouths vigorously with his hands, but Li Tian didn't stop him, because he also felt that he should also pump.

"It's because it's hard to find, so you should cherish that job even more, you're already doing a good job, why would you do such a foolish thing, seriously, when I know you are, you don't know how disappointed I am!" Li Tian shook his head, took a sip of wine and said.

"Brother Li, I know that you have always regarded us as your brothers, and we also admire you. You still care so much about me after you left Meiya, thank you so much! Song Yang took Li Tian's hand and said seriously.

"Don't mention those. Tell us about your plans for the future. Li Tian patted the other party's shoulder and asked.

"Plans? Hey, I don't know, suddenly leaving Meiya feels like everything has changed. I've been stuffy at home for the past few days, and I haven't done anything! Song Yang lowered his head and sighed.

"Don't be so depressed, in fact, there are still many opportunities, just see if you will fight for it." Li Tian looked at the other party and explained.

"It's hard!" Song Yang took a sip of wine and said.

"It's certainly hard to start over. But you are not afraid of anything difficult, you are afraid that you will not even give yourself the opportunity to start anew, so that you will never be successful! Li Tian looked at the other party and said.

"Whew!" Hearing Li Tian's words, Song Yang exhaled deeply, then looked at Li Tian gratefully and said, "Thank you, Brother Li, I feel that my mood is much better after listening to your words today, I will definitely work hard in the future, and I will not let you down." ”

"It's not that you don't let me down, but you don't let yourself down. Remember, the road of successful people is bumpy, and if you want to succeed, you should strive for it yourself, there is no shortcut. If you want to succeed, integrity is the most important thing, remember these. After going through this incident, you also have a lesson, summarize it well, and start anew. Li Tian patted Song Yang's shoulder and said encouragingly.

"Yes, I see!" Hearing Li Tian's words of encouragement, Song Yang's eyes were red, and he was really grateful to Li Tian.

chatted with Song Yang for a while and left the bar, but when he walked out of the bar, Li Tian, who was finally in a better mood, suddenly became bad again when he saw the scene in front of him.

The peasant woman who sold fruit just now was frantically protecting her fruit stall in the middle of the rotten oranges on the ground. Her thin and obviously malnourished body made several men who were five big and three thick helpless. She desperately tried to protect her tricycle with her body, as if it was more important than her last name.

She screamed, no one knew what she was shouting, but it didn't matter, because everyone around could see that the men were trying to pull her down and snatch her tricycle, and their fists kept falling on her body, and her hair was spilling down, but they couldn't separate her from the tricycle.

Li Tian carried the oranges he bought from her, his hands kept trembling, and he looked coldly at the peasant woman who sold him the oranges more than half an hour ago and tore them with these men.

Although he didn't go to school for a day, he knew that if he took it without telling him, he would steal it, and if he hurt someone, he would call it a thief. But they weren't robbers, or they weren't robbers in name, and in fact even robbers didn't bother to rob a tricycle these days. They wear uniforms, but how can there be robbers in uniforms in this world? This uniform indicates that they are political axe workers, and there is an armband on the arm of the uniform, and the two words written on it are their duties, and their duties are like this, and those two words are chengguan.

Seeing such a scene in the modern society and in the capital Yanjing really made Li Tian feel ashamed.

Somehow, Li Tian actually remembered the palace envoys who forced him to buy charcoal in "The Charcoal Seller", and he thought it was nothing more than that! It's just that these modern palace envoys don't want charcoal, they want cars. The ancient palace envoys finally gave the old man who sold charcoal half a horse of red silk and a piece of silk, and now the palace envoys have to take money to redeem the car after snatching the car!

The peasant woman was still screaming, her eyes bloodshot and her hair unkempt, and she was weeping and waving her thin arms to defend her tricycle, as if she had made it her life. Judging by the way she looked, the tricycle income might be to pay for the soaring tuition and fees and books of her child, who was eager to study, and to pay for the skyrocketing medical expenses of her sick husband who was lying in bed, or who would bear to let his beloved wife come out and commit such a crime? If she loses the tricycle, her children may be out of school and her husband may die. So what's the point of her life? So she's going to defend her tricycle.

Losing a tricycle means losing your only source of income. Maybe she will kill herself with a knife in the great May like the female owner of the black car in the distant Guangzhou, or die on the streets of December like the peasant woman selling vegetables in the cold north.

Li Tian, who used to be constantly hovering between life and death, knew that this was a world of forest laws, and the law of survival was the law of survival, but why? Why is it that the tiger, which has an abundance of food to eat and waste every day, still refuses to spare even a single emaciated mouse?

They held the peasant woman down and began to wrench her fingers from the cart point by finger, but the hands were as dry as tree roots and stronger than the locks. They tried a lot of effort, but they couldn't get out of it. The peasant woman held on to the handlebars firmly.

The dog finally got impatient.

A fat man with a fat face stepped down from the car behind, and looking at the epaulettes on his shoulders, it should be the head of the group.

"Big brother, you can do it......!" The peasant woman opened her chapped lips and squeezed a word out of her throat, though perhaps the men present were much younger than she was. The peasant woman looked at the fat chengguan captain in front of her with begging eyes, the fat captain was condescending, looked at the peasant woman coldly, then turned her head, and glanced at several chengguan team members with disdain, and snorted from her nostrils, as if she was extremely dissatisfied with their incompetence.

"Smack!" With a loud mouth, a big mouth slammed into the peasant woman's face.

"Just let her go this time, blame poor ......!" Before an old man in his fifties could finish speaking, the fat captain glared at him fiercely.

Li Tian's heart suddenly felt a great pain, which was the cry of conscience from the dark and dark valley bottom of his heart. Seeing that there were still people gloating in the crowd around him, a voice kept rolling in his head and echoed:

"At first they persecuted [***] members, and I did not speak, because I was not a believer in Marx; Later they persecuted the Jews, and I did not speak, because I was a German; Then they persecuted the Catholics, and I didn't speak because I was a Protestant priest; Finally they persecuted me, and I looked around, but no one could speak for me. A German pastor said these words at a commemorative rally after World War II.

Today, in this world, if we don't help each other, we will also be devoured one by one! Although Li Tian knew that the confiscation of the tricycle by the chengguan was carried out in accordance with the regulations, their rude behavior made the anger in Li Tian's heart burn unconsciously.

Although he knew that if he helped this one today, there would be another one tomorrow, and if the source of the tragedy was not eliminated, the tragedy would not end, but if he was seen by Li Tian today, then he had to do something.
