Chapter 440: Back to the Beginning (II)
With the clothes, and the more than 200 yuan that the bad old man forced to Zhang Ziyu in the end, Zhang Ziyu finally took the first step to recover his memory, which can be regarded as Zhang Ziyu's bold guess, what is the road ahead, Zhang Ziyu does not count in his heart, there may be no result, and he may fall into greater trouble, but Zhang Ziyu has made up his mind, no matter what the final result is, he must take it, and he must take it.
Yesterday, Zhang Ziyu already had some plans and arrangements, and had been thinking about what to do if he didn't have money, but now that he has some money, it will be easier to do. The first thing you need to do is to clean yourself up and change your appearance a little so that you don't get recognized. Zhang Ziyu's so-called change in appearance is naturally not a big change, there is no such condition and time now, and Zhang Ziyu does not have so much money, but the best way to make people unrecognizable is to change the hairstyle and add a pair of glasses.
Zhang Ziyu temporarily left this area from the other direction according to the route recommended by the bad old man, there are still some residential areas near this side, because it is far away from the city center, and it is not fully developed, so the residential areas here are either some older houses, or newly built communities, with cheap prices, and many working-class people or people from other places choose to settle here, and the price level here is much cheaper than in the city.
Zhang Ziyu carried his bag on his back, first walked down the mountain, and then walked all the way down the winding mountain road, and after walking for about half an hour, he saw a large residential area in the distance. Zhang Ziyu gasped, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands, just recovered, doing such a large amount of exercise still made him a little unbearable, the wound still hurt faintly, Zhang Ziyu took a few deep breaths, told himself to hold on a little longer, and then continued to walk forward, there are generally no cars near here, and there are no people, so Zhang Ziyu walked on the road alone and did not attract too much attention.
Soon, Zhang Ziyu walked within the scope of the residential area, and the number of people began to gradually increase, some elderly people with children were walking and playing outside, and many people could also be seen busy outside, drying clothes and cleaning. It seems that it has been a long time since he has seen such a scene, Zhang Ziyu suddenly has a feeling that he has left human society for a long time and is now suddenly returning.
"Hello, may I ask, nearby, is there a place to take a bath nearby?" Zhang Ziyu stepped forward and asked a woman who was sweeping the floor, trying to maintain a polite tone.
"Bathhouse? You keep walking forward, and then you turn around, and you can see, you are very naïve? Coming to see relatives from out of town? The woman raised her head, looked at Zhang Ziyu, and replied, but then she also found that Zhang Ziyu's accent was not the same as that here, so she asked curiously, the woman was quite familiar with the neighbors nearby, and she couldn't help but be curious when she saw Zhang Ziyu's appearance all the way, and came to find a place to take a bath.
"Ah, yes, I'm going to go to the city center, I want to clean up first, so I want to find a place to take a shower, by the way, is there any bus to the city around here?" Unexpectedly, he was seen through all of a sudden, Zhang Ziyu smiled, and then said. It doesn't look like this woman is a bad person, maybe just a casual question.
"Look at you like this, are you looking for a job in the city? Hey, it's not easy, the bus, there is, the station is not far from here, but it takes half an hour to send one, wait for you to take a shower to see, stand over there. The woman looked at Zhang Ziyu, her hair was unkempt, and the clothes on her body were a little old, which didn't seem so fitting, and Zhang Ziyu now had a lot of stubble, so she felt that Zhang Ziyu wanted to go to the city to find a job, and the conditions were not very good. Almost all the residents here are in the same situation as Zhang Ziyu, so the women are more concerned and pointed in a direction and said to Zhang Ziyu.
"Thank you then." Zhang Drizzle smiled, which was considered to be good, and then walked towards the bathing place first.
When I came to the door of the bathhouse, it was a bit of a scale, not a small storefront, and after looking at it, I walked in. As soon as I entered the door, I felt a humid and warm breath, which was very warm. Zhang Ziyu put down the bag, and then walked to the front desk, there was a middle-aged woman inside, presumably the proprietress who was watching a small TV, and a TV series was playing on the TV.
"Ten yuan for bathing, fifteen for scrubbing, bath towels, soap and hair washing." The proprietress noticed Zhang Ziyu, but she still stared at the small TV, and then said as if it was set, her tone was lukewarm.
"I'll take a shower, get me a soapbox to wash my hair." Zhang Ziyu said to the proprietress of the house, and then looked around at this bathing place, always feeling that he had been to this kind of place, indeed, Zhang Ziyu often came to this cheap place to take a bath when he was still studying at Longcheng University at the beginning, and the bathing place in the school was always overcrowded, and it was not cheap.
"Here you go, a total of twelve yuan, wash it quickly after you go in, save some water." The proprietress said very little, handed Zhang Ziyu a hand, a towel, a bag of shower gel and a bag of shampoo, continued to stare at the TV and said, she never looked at Zhang Ziyu from beginning to end, and probably knew that Zhang Ziyu was not a local, nor was she an acquaintance, so she was naturally too lazy to take care of it.
"Do you have any scissors, can you lend me a little bit?" I want to get my hair done, and I can give it if I need money. Zhang Ziyu didn't care much about the attitude of the proprietress towards him, packed up all the things, and then asked.
"If you want to get your hair and go to the barber shop next to you, what do you get here, give it to you, the money won't be used, don't block the sewer with your hair, do you hear?" After Zhang Ziyu said these words, the proprietress raised her head and looked at Zhang Ziyu, as if she also saw something. Although he muttered in his mouth, he still handed the scissors to Zhang Ziyu and said to Zhang Ziyu. I probably think that Zhang Ziyu is not easy, here, it is the foot of the city, most of it is like a place abandoned by the city, more than the upper than the bottom, the people here are busy living, not busy enjoying, the comfort of life is the greatest comfort for them, the heart is simple, compared to the city Those who disguise themselves with gorgeous clothes, maybe a lot better.
"Don't worry, it won't." Zhang Ziyu took the scissors with a smile, thanked him, and then walked into the men's bathhouse. Through the contact in the past few days, Zhang Ziyu has a deeper understanding of these people, I don't know why, he feels that these people have a very familiar feeling of simplicity and kindness, although he knows his identity, but for such a simple and even somewhat simple life, Zhang Ziyu does not have any resistance, about this, Zhang Ziyu also doesn't know why, as if he has experienced these things, this is his own life, but this should be unlikely, Zhang Ziyu thought so.
When the hot water washed on Zhang Ziyu's body, Zhang Ziyu felt unprecedented comfort, so many days, Zhang Ziyu had never taken a bath, his body was already very dirty, after being washed by the hot water, the whole person was much refreshed, and the fatigue of a few days was all dissipated for a while. Zhang Ziyu glanced at the wound on his waist, fortunately, he had just walked for so long and had not re-torn the wound that had just healed, and simply applied shower gel and shampoo, which could be regarded as a thorough cleaning of the body.
Walking in front of the mirror, Zhang Ziyu looked at himself in the mirror, compared with the photos he saw in the newspaper, there were some big changes, maybe it was temperament, maybe it was other aspects, Zhang Ziyu couldn't say it. Zhang Ziyu in the mirror has a standard figure, sharp edges and corners, looks thin, but full of strength, and now many wounds make Zhang Ziyu more manly.
Picking up scissors with one hand and holding his hair with the other, Zhang Ziyu just gave himself a haircut in the mirror little by little, cut his hair shorter, and cut his hair for the first time, Zhang Ziyu's skills are still very unskilled, but fortunately, it is not so bad, the hair is much shorter overall, and it can still be seen. As for those beards, Zhang Ziyu didn't plan to shave them, so keeping them like this can be regarded as a good natural cover-up. After everything was cleaned up, Zhang Ziyu wiped his body clean, put on his clothes again, the whole feeling was completely different, much cleaner, much more energetic, with a mustache and neat short hair, the whole person's temperament has completely surpassed the clothes on his body. Even when Zhang Ziyu came out to return the scissors to the front desk proprietress, the proprietress was taken aback, how could the same person have changed so much in such a short period of time. Now Zhang Ziyu has more heroism and confidence on his face, as if he is back from before, and he has enough motivation to continue his plan.
From here to the city, there is only one bus, one every half hour, and there are already some people waiting here at this time, and it seems that the previous bus has been away for a while. Zhang Ziyu also quickly joined their queue, waiting here for the car to the center of Longcheng, it is noon, it has been a while since he left the bad old man, I don't know how the bad old man is now, whether he will feel a little lonely because of his departure, or more relaxed, after all, he doesn't need to take care of himself now.
Thinking about it, you can see the shadow of the car in the distance, and the people waiting for the car around have begun to pick up their luggage and line up.
The car came, one after another got on the car, Zhang Ziyu chose a window seat, with the car driving, the distant scenery was near and then far, Zhang Ziyu looked out the window, full of thoughts.
