Chapter 12: A Miserable Childhood
One on the Bund is the name of a bar. It is also a well-known bar, and I heard that there are many third- and fourth-tier stars and some second-generation people who frequent.
It's just past five o'clock, and the bar has just opened, and most of the people who will enter the bar at this time are some staff. Late at night is the hottest time for bars.
On a street opposite the bar, Su Qinghe pointed to the bar and said, "This is it." ”
Chen Youshan stared at the bar for a while and asked, "Which one is your sister?" ”
"She hasn't come yet, she should still be on her way."
Chen Youshan looked around, walked straight to a bench on the side and sat down, and said, "You know, this kind of thing, even if I helped her this time, if she doesn't leave this kind of place, the trouble will not be broken." ”
Su Qinghe sat down beside him and said, "I know, I will find a way to persuade her to leave here." ”
Chen Youshan glanced at her and asked, "Why does she want to work in such a place?" Don't you know what this place is? Once you fall into it and go down the wrong path, it will not be easy to get out again. ”
"My sister only has a primary school education, and she has never even stepped into the threshold of middle school." After being silent for a while, Su Qinghe whispered: "In this city, it's not easy for even college students to find a job, let alone someone like my sister?" I'm going to college soon and need a lot of money. And such a place has a high salary, so she came. ”
Chen Youshan was a little puzzled and asked, "What about your parents?" ”
"We are orphans from a small remote mountain village." Su Qinghe said in a low voice: "When I was ten years old, my father had an accident on a construction site and broke his legs and couldn't stand up again. Because we were honest and powerless, he was driven back without even getting compensation. Without my father's meager income, we can be said to have a bad meal. A year later, my mom couldn't stand this life anymore and disappeared one night. At that moment, the burden of the family fell on my seventeen-year-old sister. Later one night, my dad talked to us a lot, and the next morning we found out that he had drunk pesticides, and that year, I was 12 years old, just after graduating from elementary school. ”
Chen Youshan looked at her with some surprise, as if he didn't expect her life to be so miserable.
"That day, my sisters and I cried very sadly, especially my sister, who cried so many times that she fainted. We all know that my dad doesn't want to drag us down anymore, but he doesn't know that we really need him, even if he doesn't do anything, but as long as he stands behind us, we will have something to rely on in our hearts. Su Qinghe stubbornly raised her head, not wanting the tears in her eyes to fall.
"A month later, my sister took me out of the small mountain village and it took me almost three months to get here. At that time, my sister pointed to the city and told me that she was going to let me go to college no matter what. She said that she could only change her destiny if she went to university, but because we were outsiders, all the schools here would not accept us. Later, my sister didn't know how to use it, and finally a school took us in and helped me handle my file, so that I could go to school here and take the college entrance examination here. ”
Speaking of this, she seemed to remember something sad, and her tone became choked, and the tears that had been rolling in her eyes finally burst out of her eyes, falling straight down like pearls with broken threads.
"I asked my sister how she did it, and she simply said that we had met a noble person. Later, I secretly followed her out to find out that she sacrificed her innocent body for me, and that person ...... Isn't it ironic that the principal of our school, who tells us every day that he respects teachers and is virtuous? ”
Chen Youshan didn't speak, his expression was a little heavy. After a while, he asked, "How old is your sister?" ”
"My sister is five years older than me, and she is exactly twenty-three this year."
Chen Youshan sighed, with a sigh in his tone, and said: "Actually, my family is also very poor, and I still remember that when I was a child, my family didn't even have enough food to eat. ”
Su Qinghe's palm that was wiping away tears stiffened slightly, and said, "I don't believe it." ”
"I'm really an ordinary person." Chen Youshan stared at her and said very seriously.
"If I hadn't met my master by chance when I was a child, I would definitely not be so confident now. If it wasn't for the master who gave me a skill, I wouldn't have dared to say anything to that person on the train. ”
"Master?" Su Qinghe looked suspicious.
"Speaking of which, my childhood was even more bitter than yours." Chen Youshan seemed to have remembered something sad, and a very emotional look appeared on his face, but this look seemed to be pretended no matter how Su Qinghe looked at it.
"Have you ever seen a wild animal?"
"Does a hare count?"
The corners of Chen Shan's mouth twitched slightly, stared at her for a long time, and finally only spit out four words: "You are so happy." ”
Su Qinghe looked at him with an intriguing gaze, as if he wanted to see some flaws.
"Do you know what accompanied me in my childhood?"
"What is it?"
"Cunning wolves, ferocious wild boars, deadly vipers, stupid-looking black bears that are actually more alert than wolves, and ugly crocodiles, and all sorts of monkeys that can kill people, and so on. Throughout my childhood, I was accompanied by a lot of wild animals that you hadn't even heard of. ”
"Who are you fooling?" Su Qinghe's face was full of disbelief, "You don't live in a zoo." ”
Chen Youshan sneered and said, "Do you think only zoos will have these things?" There are also primeval forests. ”
"You live in a primeval forest?" Su Qinghe looked at him incredulously, and the word doubt was written all over his face.
"Don't believe it, do you?" Chen Youshan rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Anyway, you have determined that I am a person with status, and you will not believe what I say now." But what man of status have you ever seen dressed as shabby as I am? ”
Su Qinghe said: "People can't be disguised. ”
Chen Youshan couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "You know my master...... How did he train me? ”
"Who the hell is your master?" Su Qinghe seemed to be more interested in another matter.
Chen Youshan was speechless and said, "Can you ask the point?" ”
"Oh, how did your master train you?" Su Qinghe asked very cooperatively.
"He threw me to the monkeys." Chen Youshan's face was full of resentment.
"Puff......" Su Qinghe couldn't help laughing, and then hurriedly said, "I didn't mean to." ”
"Laugh, I don't care." Chen Youshan shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's good if you're happy." ”
Su Qinghe couldn't help but smile and asked, "According to what you say, you played with monkeys when you were a child?" ”
"If my brother hears this, he will think that you are scolding him." Chen Youshan said seriously: "My playmate when I was a child was my brother. I only go to the master on weekends, and he throws me at the monkeys instead of letting me play with them. He told me to get out of the monkeys by myself, or I wouldn't be able to go home. ”
Su Qinghe looked at him like a monster.
"Don't believe me?"
Su Qinghe looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't say those two words.
"And what about later? Did you escape? ”
"Nope." Chen Youshan said: "Later, I was led over several mountains by those monkeys, and even the master almost couldn't find me. ”
"Puff......" Su Qinghe couldn't hold back anymore and laughed.
Chen Youshan glanced at her without a trace, and saw that there was no sad look on her face, and he was secretly relieved.
"I know you're making me amuse, diverting my attention and not wanting me to dwell on the pain of the past." Su Qinghe slowly stopped laughing and looked at him very gratefully: "Thank you, you are really a good person." ”
"You're wrong, I'm not a good person." Chen Youshan corrected: "I never thought I was a good person. Moreover, I didn't just mean to amuse you, what I said is true, even if you don't believe it, it's true. ”
Su Qinghe looked at him and said very seriously: "Thank you, thank you for helping me." ”
"No thanks, we have a deal. I'll help you, you promise me any of my terms. Chen Youshan's gaze swept over her unscrupulously, "You don't want to break your word, do you?" ”
Su Qinghe's face changed, and he was very nervous.
"Look, it's too early, isn't it? Fortunately, I corrected it with you, I'm not a good person. Otherwise, if I had put that hat on, I would have been embarrassed to ask for that request now. Chen Youshan suddenly looked at her and asked, "You can't deliberately wear that high hat for me, right?" ”
Su Qinghe looked at him and said, "As long as you can help me, I will agree to whatever you say." ”
Chen Youshan smiled, ignored her gaze, changed to a comfortable position and leaned back on the bench very comfortably.
"And then?" After more than ten minutes, Su Qinghe's voice sounded again, "Later, can you escape from those monkeys yourself?" ”
"Of course, if I don't escape, how can I get home? If I don't come home, my parents will be worried. Although I was very cute at the time, the monkeys were very generous to me, but they had bitten everything they gave me, and I really couldn't put my mouth to it. If you're going to ask me how I escaped, forget it, those experiences ......."
Speaking of this, Chen Youshan deliberately showed an unbearable look on his face, and said: "I don't want to mention those experiences until now. ”
Looking at the exaggerated acting skills on his face, Su Qinghe couldn't help laughing, and the mood that had just become uneasy instantly relaxed a lot.
"I still have a lot of stories on me, and those wolves, bears, wild boars, or something I haven't said yet, those are more exciting, if you want to hear it, I will tell you it again when I have the opportunity in the future, to ensure that it is true."
"Who the hell is your master? Why does it sound mysterious? ”
"I asked, but he didn't say much. I only know that I should learn a kind of national art, or the kind of master who has his own school. ”
"National art?" Su Qing was a little puzzled, and the corner of his eye swept to a familiar figure on the opposite street, and suddenly became uneasy.
"My sister is here."
