Chapter 756: The Sorrowful 'Wang Baoqiang'
Late at night, the current Shanghai is not the city that never sleeps in the future, except for the lights on both sides of the road, under the starry sky, there are few lights, and the apartment in front occasionally lights up one or two lights, and then quickly extinguished, which is just like Wang Bao's current mood, just raised a little hope, and was shattered by reality.
"Where the hell is this!" Wang Baoqiang stubbornly raised his head and looked around, he had been walking for most of the night, why couldn't he return to the original location, was he lost? But he remembered very well that when he came out, he went north, and when he returned, he went south, why couldn't he go back to the original place!
At this time, Wang Baoqiang's face was pale, his clothes were dirty, when he came out of the house, he specially bought a pair of sneakers, which also showed a few holes, his mouth swallowed saliva from time to time, he was hungry and thirsty, he felt that he was no different from a beggar, but he did not admit that he was a beggar, at least he did not stretch out his hands like a passerby, and the last insistence in his heart did not allow him to beg for food.
Things have to start from a week, when Wang Baoqiang rushed to Shanghai, with 100 yuan, in his opinion 100 yuan is also a huge amount of money, enough for him to live for a while, after arriving in Shanghai, Wang Baoqiang lived in the Friendship Hotel, every day after getting up, there is only one thing to do, that is, sitting at the door of the hotel, looking at the crowd coming and going, Wang Zichuan said that he wanted to come to the Friendship Hotel to find him, Wang Baoqiang was convinced, the first few days, full of smiles, a sitting at the door of the hotel with a smile on his face, making people feel weird.
The good times didn't last long, Wang Baoqiang quickly ran out of money with his body, and even people were driven out of the hotel with his bag, Wang Baoqiang didn't dare to move around at will, for fear that Wang Zichuan would not find him when he came over, he was holding a small backpack alone, standing near the hotel blankly, his big eyes looked at the passing crowd without blinking, and he rushed out when he saw the familiar back, but the result always disappointed him.
The last two days. Wang Baoqiang has no money on him, no money to buy food, can only endure hunger, no money to buy water to drink, while the hotel waiter is not paying attention, he can still run into the kitchen to drink, once or twice later, Wang Baoqiang on the blacklist of the Friendship Hotel, if he didn't run fast, he was almost arrested by the police.
"What should I do?"
Walk on a flat road. Wang Baoqiang was actually at a loss, this result was something he hadn't thought about, his stomach was gurgling, his mouth was dry, there was a road in front of him, and there was a road in front of him, and there was no road in sight behind him.
"Even though I'm in the middle of town, how do I feel like I'm in the middle of nowhere? No...... It's a little better here than the moor. Wang Baoqiang's eyes stared at the half apple core on the side of the road, and his throat stirred a few times.
Picking up the apple core, Wang Baoqiang hesitated. To eat or not to eat? There is some dirt on the apple core, and the person who eats this apple core must be a rich man, and there is still a lot of flesh on it that has not been eaten.
Wiping off the soil on the surface of the apple core, Wang Baoqiang shed tears. Stuffing the apple core into his mouth, he shed tears while biting it, and just silently said in his heart: "I promised my father and mother that I would go out and make a lot of money." Can't go back like this! ”
After eating the apple core, Wang Baoqiang felt that his body had recovered a little strength, and he walked half a mile. found that there was a creek in front of him, maybe because of the relationship between the nearby paper mill, the creek was not the same as his hometown, the water was full of green sediment, Wang Baoqiang couldn't manage so much, closed his eyes, drank a few sips, the stream was bitter, Wang Baoqiang didn't dare to drink more, just quenched his thirst.
"Hoo ......"
Wang Baoqiang came to the horse from the new, his mood calmed down a lot, most of the negative feelings disappeared, he walked on the side of the road, picked up an empty Coke bottle, and the sky gradually turned white.
"It's dawn!"
Wang Baoqiang was excited, he could see people at dawn, and he could ask for directions.
"Auntie, I'll borrow some water!" This is one of several houses that Wang Baoqiang has found, and he is looking at a middle-aged woman.
"Hillbilly!" The middle-aged woman muttered and pointed to the position behind her.
"Thank you, auntie!" Wang Baoqiang smiled, the middle-aged woman pointed to a kettle, and when she picked up the kettle, the voice of 'Auntie' sounded behind her.
"It's not this, it's that!"
Wang Baoqiang looked over in confusion, and saw a vegetable basin under his feet, with a basin of water in it, and green vegetable leaves floating on it.
……
On the road, Wang Baoqiang stubbornly held back tears, the people in the city were too bullying! If you meet a stranger in your hometown begging for water to drink, you will not only provide hot water, but also put out a little food, looking at a few vegetable leaves in the bottle, Wang Baoqiang has grown a lot for a while.
When the sun rose high, Wang Baoqiang finally returned to the Friendship Hotel, this time he planned to go to the neighborhood for a walk, set off at noon yesterday, but did not expect to walk for 20 hours, and only rushed back the next morning.
"I hope Big Brother didn't come over yesterday!" Wang Baoqiang sat down in his old position and began to pray that Wang Zichuan had not come.
……
On the sidewalk near the train station, Gai Lili, Yu Hui, and Chen Hong walked side by side, today is Sunday, Gai Lili asked Yu Hui to come out to do her hair, Chen Hong also had to follow, the three of them came together, Gai Lili and Chen Hong were not familiar with each other before.
Yu Hui said: "Chen Hong, let's go to Huating Road together!" ”
Gai Lili said, "Okay, I want to go and see it too!" ”
"Huating Road? Clothes are expensive there! Chen Hong knows that Huating Road is the most famous foreign trade market in Shanghai, and the most fashionable and noble clothes in the whole of Shanghai are bought from there.
Yu Huiqiang smiled: "It's good to go and have a look, maybe you can pick up a few bargains." ”
Gai Lili's white and tender face showed a touch of ruddy, half a month ago they were no different from Chen Hong, they had long admired the name of the Huating Road Foreign Trade Market, and they had never had the luxury of buying a dress there, but now it was different, there was a lot of money in his pocket, although he gave it away.
Although Yu Hui and Gai Lili knew that Wang Zichuan had a crush on Chen Hong's beauty, when Wang Zichuan was with them, they never mentioned Chen Hong, and they were happy to pretend to be confused, so as not to embarrass each other when Chen Hong joined in.
"Huh?" Chen Hong sighed lightly.
Gai Lili looked around, nothing unusual, and wondered, "What's wrong?" ”
Chen Hong hesitated for a moment, frowned, and said, "You guys go to the front bookstore first, and I'll go over later." ”
Yu Hui winked at Gai Lili and pretended to leave hand in hand.
Looking at Wang Baoqiang who was shrinking in the corner, Chen Hongxiu frowned, hesitated for a while, and then decided to step forward and ask, the closer to Wang Baoqiang, the more disappointed Chen Hong was in Wang Zichuan.
"Do you remember me?"
Wang Baoqiang felt that he was about to faint from hunger, and suddenly the fragrance was fragrant, and when he looked up, a big beauty appeared beside him.
"Are you...... Fairies? ”
Chen Hong frowned and said, "How did you become like this?" ”
Unkempt and unclothed, Chen Hong thought of two words that are perfect for describing the current Wang Baoqiang.
Wang Baoqiang remembered that Chen Hong was the woman he met on the train, and said weakly: "Sister fairy, I'm so hungry!" ”
Chen Hongbei bit her teeth secretly, to be honest, she dislikes Wang Baoqiang's unkempt appearance, I don't know how embarrassing it will be to go out with him, in case she is seen by acquaintances, how to explain it? But she couldn't bear to let Wang Baoqiang leave it alone.
"There are five dollars here, you go to a restaurant for a meal, and then change your clothes." Chen Hong took out all the money on her body, and just scraped together five yuan, which is her living expenses for next month.
"Thank you!"
Wang Baoqiang didn't refuse, he really needed money so much that he was hungry for three days, so he ate an apple core.
In the corner, Gai Lili said confusedly, "Why are you pulling me back?" ”
"Shh Yu Hui gestured softly and explained, "Didn't you think Chen Hong was very uncomfortable just now?" ”
Gai Lili said ignorantly: "No matter how abnormal she is, it doesn't matter to us, yes." ”
Yu Hui showed half of her little head, glanced in the direction of Chen Hong, and wondered, "Who is that man?" ”
"Which man?" Gai Lili didn't care, but when she heard that Chen Hong was alone with a man, she hurriedly looked over and exclaimed, "It seems to be a beggar?" ”
Yu Hui said proudly: "Now that he knows, he must know Chen Hong, you see that Chen Hong also gave him money!" ”
No matter how confused Gai Lili is, she won't think that Wang Baoqiang is a little white face, and said: "That's all the money on Chen Hong, don't they know each other, it's just that Chen Hong pities him......"
"Impossible!" Yu Hui shook her head and denied it, she didn't think Chen Hong was so kind, and argued: "If you don't know, why did Chen Hong break us apart!" ”
"That's right!" Gai Lili nodded in agreement.
She approached Chen Hong, the most important thing was to see what was good about her, and let Wang Zichuan come to the school to find her, she and Yu Hui were just substitutes for Chen Hong, which made her very unconvinced.
Yu Hui reminded: "Let's go quickly, Chen Hong is coming." ”
"Oh!"
Gai Lili was held by Yu Hui's jade hand, but she was shy, she and Yu Hui had an unsightly relationship, and every time she was outside, she would be weak-hearted, for fear that others would find clues.
"We'll wait for her right here!" Yu Huijiao took a breath, she really didn't want to go to the bookstore, now she is only interested in brand-name clothes and high-end cosmetics, and the bookstore has long been gone.
Gai Lili said tentatively: "Do you want to tell what you just saw...... What about the husband? ”
Yu Huijiao said shyly: "Don't call him that outside, you call him husband, I also call him husband, weird." ”
Gai Lili gently agreed, and agreed: "Then none of us will call it, unless it is ...... Unless that's the time. ”
Yu Hui said: "We'll ...... tonight When we go to the Peace Hotel, we can't hide it from Mr. Wang. ”
Gai Lili said worriedly: "What if Mr. Wang remembers Chen Hong?" ”
Yu Hui puffed up angrily: "Definitely not, even if we think about it, will we still lose to Chen Hong alone?" ”
Although she is a best friend, Yu Hui is still a little hostile to Chen Hong, the reason comes from Wang Zichuan, if Chen Hong is in the dormitory that day, she is still the poor student who is frugal, wears tattered clothes, and can find a dime all day.
Gai Lili compromised: "Okay, let's talk about it first, you are not allowed to ...... at night That's it. ”
Yu Hui was embarrassed and argued: "Every time, you are the first to do this!" (To be continued......)
