Chapter 3 The Ancient Capital of a Thousand Years
Chapter 3: A Thousand Years of Ancient Capital
Zhao Izui, who was fluctuating in his heart, did not hear what Xiao Wang said clearly, except for Jiang Kaishan and the words of the Chengdu Military Region, the rest were vague. His mind is full of whether the Hui man is dead or alive, if it is a dead Xiao Wang, what to do? Will Lao Wang tell the old village chief how she feels after knowing the Tao? Lao Wang's father and son are ordinary people, what if Xiao Wang is guilty? He was afraid that he would ruin Xiao Wang's life, as a college student, Xiao Wang's future is bright, his life will be more exciting than himself, he wants to go to graduate school, work, get married and have children, but unfortunately all this may have nothing to do with him.
The difference between one thought is that there are two worlds, and there is no connection between them......
These thoughts filled his mind made Zhao Izumi extremely annoyed and guilty, so much so that he wanted to jump out of the car and turn himself in to confess, but thinking of the fate of more than 20 children in the depths of the mountains on his back, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Izumi finally confessed, he almost frantically punched himself in the chest, regretting his impulsiveness and causing such a catastrophe. Zhao Izumi clenched his fists and told himself with red eyes, Zhao Izui, you must be a mixed person and look like a dog, otherwise I'm sorry for her, I'm sorry for Xiao Wang, I'm sorry for the old monk, I'm sorry for that man, and I'm sorry for the oath you made in front of Xiao Ping'an's grave.
From beginning to end, the only thing that puzzled Zhao was the firm look and cold momentum when Xiao Wang told him that he could handle all this. Zhao Izumi had to comfort himself, maybe he could really handle it?
So, Zhao Izumi took such a complicated psychology, and sat in this big truck in the dark night that he didn't know where to go, all the way to the east, and traveled at night in brocade clothes.
The big truck was full of watermelons, Zhao Izumi was lying on the watermelons with his head pillowing his woven bag, the bumps along the way made him sore, he was afraid of being discovered by the truck driver, and he didn't dare to get up to see what direction the big truck was heading, in fact, he couldn't see anything, because it was dark outside. Due to the high level of mental tension before, Zhao Izumi fell asleep unconsciously. When he woke up again, the night and the starry sky had disappeared, replaced by the big sun and gray sky, as well as the noisy environment around him, this time Zhao Izumi still didn't know how long he had been asleep, this sense of powerlessness made Zhao Izumi very crazy, he was very unaccustomed to this kind of situation where he couldn't control himself, as if his fate and future and so on everything went with the flow without direction, and it was possible to capsize at any time so that the whole army would be wiped out, Zhao Izumi knew that he couldn't afford to lose, even warned himself that he must not have the situation of falling into death last night, not everyone can be like Xiao Wang.
You can't afford to lose, and you can't afford to lose.
Zhao Izumi must not have known what to do, he slept for a full ten hours this night, and the big truck pulling a cart of watermelons was about to arrive at the destination of this trip.
The thousand-year-old imperial capital, Xi'an.
Just when Zhao Izumi was thinking and annoyed, the big truck finally stopped, Zhao Izumi secretly observed the surrounding environment, and found that this seemed to be a freight transfer station similar to last night, in fact, this is the back door of a logistics warehouse in a vegetable and fruit wholesale market, and the big trucks around are waiting to enter the wholesale market to unload like them. After thinking for a few seconds, Zhao decided to leave here quickly, no matter which city this was, it would be the first starting point for him to get out of the mountains.
Looking left and right to make sure that no one was paying attention to the surroundings, Zhao Chuxi quickly slipped out of the car with a woven bag on his back, until he hurriedly walked out of the back door of the warehouse in the vegetable wholesale market, he dared to raise his head, and in addition to the surrounding high-rise buildings, there were also a few big words "Xi'an Hujiamiao Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Market".
"The thousand-year-old imperial capital, the prosperous Chang'an, Xi'an?" Zhao Izumi muttered blankly, he never thought that he would come to this city where the old monk often muttered before he died.
When you first come to a strange city, with no relatives, no friends, and no place to stay, that kind of helplessness is like being abandoned by this world. What's more, it's a person like Zhao Izushi who fled and came to a city randomly, it's like God shaking his dice and telling you, hey man, you go here.
No matter how strong Zhao Izuxi's heart is, he will be shaken by reality, at this moment he was at a loss, and walked forward without purpose After two bus stops, behind a taxi stop billboard, Zhao Izumi finally stopped, this is a huge map of Xi'an city, Zhao Izumi knew that he was near Hujia Temple, and immediately stared at the whole map to find Hujia Temple, so as to determine where he was in Xi'an, and at the same time determined to buy a map of Xi'an, Familiarizing himself with the map of Xi'an will help him to establish himself in the city in the future.
The passers-by who came and went would give Zhao Izumi a look, for them there were too many homeless people like Zhao Izumi in this city, and after a few minutes, Zhao Izumi finally found Hujiamiao near the East Second Ring Road, and immediately determined his location.
Zhao Izumi walked to a small shop satisfied, asked the boss in broken Mandarin if there was a map of Xi'an City, Zhao Izusi, who was carrying a woven bag, messy hair and tattered clothes, did look like a homeless man, the owner of the store was an old man over half a hundred years old, seemed to be a little surprised, stared at Zhao Izumi for a few seconds, his eyes were quite sympathetic, and then turned around and took out a map of Xi'an City from the store, handed it to Zhao Izushi and asked in dialect, "Guy, did you just come to Xi'an?" ”
Zhao Izumi smiled and nodded.
The old man chuckled and replied, "No matter what you look like now, don't care what others say about you, as long as you work hard, this city will let you settle down." That is, as the saying goes, the emperor pays off, and this map will be given to you."
God always inadvertently gives you a bland touch and makes you believe in life. Zhao Izumi took the map, squatted down and opened the woven bag, flipped over a few seconds and took out ten yuan and put it on the old man's table, and said very comfortably, "Xie Lu Xie"
After saying that, Zhao Izumi picked up the woven bag and left without looking back, ten yuan is a lot of money for him, but his dignity is priceless, Zhao Izumi will not easily accept other people's alms, not to mention that he still has the ability to buy a map.
The old man was very surprised, shook his head and nodded and shouted, "Young man, if you are looking for a job, go under the overpass in front"
The old man's words made Zhao pay attention, he must first find a job and a place to stay, although he didn't know what an overpass was at this time, and he was still a turtle in the eyes of the city people, but those men who just walked out of the mountains and walked out of the countryside, who didn't get up slowly from this moment, and when you get ahead one day in the future, who will care about the moment when you were down?
Zhao Izumi walked forward for ten minutes, and finally came to the overpass in the old man's mouth, because there were about hundreds of people here, almost all of them were migrant workers like him who came to find work, they carried luggage and tools, dressed in simple and tattered clothes, gathered in groups of three or five to chat, waiting for the foremen and intermediaries looking for workers to come, occasionally foremen and intermediaries came, and a group of people rushed up. Zhao Izumi was different from them, he just put down his woven bag, sat next to a middle-aged man in his forties, politely handed a cigarette to the middle-aged man and said, "Brother, what kind of work do you have here?" ”
The middle-aged man was not wary of Zhao Izui, took the cigarette with a smile, smelled it, and replied, "Just came?" There are all kinds of jobs here, but it depends on what you can do, repair sewers, toilets, small jobs, odd jobs, everything, you say that the boss comes to paint it, you say you can't or can't, so it depends on what you can do."
Zhao Izumi lit a cigarette for the middle-aged man, but he was still reluctant to smoke, and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, no wonder there are people with any tools here."
"What are you doing, boy?" The middle-aged man took a puff on his cigarette and asked.
Zhao Izumi replied very honestly, "I just came to Xi'an today, I don't know anything, I'm going to find a job."
Maybe it was a cigarette that made the man a little closer, and the middle-aged man glanced at it twice and said, "A powerful guy like you, if you don't know anything, in fact, it's better to go to the construction site as a small worker, it's just a little tired, but you get a lot of money, at the beginning there was a two or three thousand a month, and when you have a big ability, you can get four or five thousand, which is more than those college students who go to college."
Zhao Izumi didn't expect that he could earn so much in a month after doing a small job, and his eyes lit up and said, "Brother, do you know where to find a small job?" ”
The middle-aged man said with a smile, "You are looking for the right person, I just know a foreman who is looking for a small worker in the past two days, brother will ask you if you want someone, you will go there, I and the foreman are fellow countrymen, let him take care of you, that is, don't be a craftsman for foreign goods, otherwise I will go to him to do it, the small worker is too tired, my brother can still do it when he is young, and now he is old."
"Then thank you Brother Xie first" Zhao Izumi gave the remaining half pack of cigarettes to the middle-aged man very knowingly, and the man accepted it without refusing.
So, Zhao Izushi came to the construction site outside the city wall of the South Gate under the introduction of the man, and on the way, Zhao Izushi saw the city wall for the first time in his life, and his eyes stared at it without blinking. When he was in Phoenix Village, the old monk and Li Qingyi told him about the most well-preserved Xi'an city wall, and told him that he must go to see it in his lifetime.
The domineering exposed city wall reminds people of the glory of this city, the foreman who drove a small van to pick up Zhao Izumi was a person from the neighboring city, and directly gave Zhao Izumi a salary of more than two thousand, Zhao Izumi agreed without thinking about it, for him the top priority is to find a place to stay, this construction site has more than two thousand food and accommodation, so that he is already very satisfied, although he does not know that a small worker like him on this construction site can get more than three thousand wages.
The foreman's name is Brother Wang, short, thin and obscene, he didn't say a few words to Zhao Izumi along the way, he has seen too many migrant workers like Zhao Izumi who have just entered the city, and he stared out the window with a little disdain for Zhao Izuxi's eyes almost without blinking, he seemed to forget that he was like this back then, and people are always good at forgetting. In fact, Zhao Izumi just wants to know more about this city that he may have to struggle for most of his life in the future, he wants to remember the city in his eyes at this moment and the city in his eyes decades later, and he wants to remember his downfall when he first came to the city today.
When I arrived at the construction site, it was already dusk, and what attracted Zhao Izumi and Brother Wang at the same time was the two luxury cars parked on the construction site, the atmosphere was beautiful, Zhao Izumi couldn't recognize it, I just felt that this car was very luxurious, Brother Wang led Zhao Izumi down the lane, "Don't look at it, Audi A8L, one or two million, and then you can't afford it in your life"
Zhao Izumi smiled stupidly, and did not refute, did he want to say to Brother Wang, how do you know that the labor and management of Lu Dao can't afford it, and when the labor and management have money one day, drive a car and tow one.
Brother Wang took Zhao Izumi directly to the place where he lived, and before he went in, he smelled a smell of stinky and moldy, Zhao Izumi couldn't help frowning, and the consequences of going in were really different, the chaos inside could be compared to the pig's nest in Phoenix Village, there were two rows of rack beds in the small house, almost forty people, clothes, socks, garbage, quilts and other things were thrown together, Zhao Izumi couldn't get back to his senses for a while.
Brother Wang disagreed, "If you go out, you will live."
Zhao Izumi nodded happily, he was already content to have a place to stay, how could he still dislike it?
Before Zhao Izumi was familiar with the environment of the construction site, Brother Wang asked people to call Zhao Izumi to eat, the place where he ate had already gathered dozens of workers, squatting nearby and eating without raising his head, Zhao Izui's appearance did not disturb them, there are too many workers coming and going every day on this construction site of hundreds of people, no one will pay attention to your existence, this is the reality.
Zhao Izuxi, who had no dishes and chopsticks, only took a few buns and returned to the door of the pig nest, smelling the smell inside that ordinary people could vomit, Zhao Izusi, who was squatting on the ground, was already hungry with his chest and back, but he ate with relish, and when a few steamed buns were eaten, Zhao Izumi got up to take a look at the pig nest, and then looked back at the two Audi A8L worth millions.
Zhao is extremely calm, doesn't the old monk often mutter?
The poorest are just asking for food, and if you don't die, you will always come out......
(Say good about the red ticket and collection)
