Volume 1 The Silent Roar Chapter 9 Born to be Strong
When he said goodbye to Han Chuqing and sent her back to the villa, it was already night, and another day had passed, Xiao Zheng had no joy or sorrow, carrying a satchel in the direction of leading to the slums.
"Kill him for me, make him want to eat swan meat."
"I don't look at what kind of virtue I have, and I want to chase our eldest sister."
Xiao Zheng looked from a distance, in the corner, there was a person lying on the ground and being bullied, and the baked cake stalls next to him were scattered aside, and he hurriedly rushed over.
"Our eldest sister said that I don't want to see you in the future." A yellow-haired man threw a wad of money at the man, and spat out a mouthful of phlegm, "This money is enough for you to sell baked cakes for ten years, go and change places." ”
A few people turned their heads and were about to leave, when a pair of fists came into view and knocked Huang Mao away.
"I said, a few of you, do you want to leave like this when you hit someone" Xiao Zheng pressed his fist, rattling, and walked towards a few people with the corners of his mouth pursed.
"Yo, where did you scum come from, buddy teaches people what is wrong with you, how about I beat him, if he can't take care of himself without beating, even if he is lucky, as for compensation, look at it, aren't those banknotes enough?"
A group of bastards, a group of scumbags, Xiao Zheng is the one he is most unaccustomed to.
You're rich, aren't you? Then spend a little more and use it to see a doctor.
kicked the ground, and the next second appeared behind everyone, the left foot kicked sideways, kicked a person's knee, hooked another person's neck with his right hand, flew over the spot, spun around and threw the two people out, slowly flew out like a movie slow motion, and then sealed his throat with a finger, hit Huang Mao's throat, and kicked him out with the last kick.
It's okay for these people to bully and bully honest people, but when they meet Xiao Zheng, who can really fight, they are not enough to warm up. Watching Xiao Zheng walk towards them, he couldn't stop retreating.
"Brother Zheng, forget it." The man sighed, his tone full of loneliness and vicissitudes.
"Zhao Yun, don't be cowardly if it's a man, you were bullied by them, brother will find it back for you." Xiao Zheng continued to walk towards these people, and he kicked them again, until they were all dying, and he didn't stop.
At this moment, Zhao Yun is in tatters, and the baked cake stall has also been smashed, and it is still a matter whether he can put it in the future.
Xiao Zheng helped him up, handed him a pack of tissues, and asked him to wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth.
"What's wrong with you, you can still fight by selling a baked cake, it must be that these people didn't give money." Xiao Zheng supported him and helped him to a tattered sofa, which I don't know who threw it, but was picked up by an old man and put it in the slums, and then it became a public seat here.
"The female madman is not in there, the next time she encounters this kind of thing, shout directly, that guy can't die without help."
Zhao Yun lowered his head, as rugged as him, and now he was also a little tired and decadent, "These people were sent by her, she wants to cut off relations with me, this is not the first batch, this is the third time in a month." ”
"She? It's the person you've been waiting for, what's Lan Jingjing's name, this girl is ruthless enough, being a little star is like ruining all your history, really buddy, don't want such a woman, I'll give you advice, the newly moved Lu sisters are good, don't hang yourself on a tree. ”
Xiao Zheng patted him on the shoulder, he didn't have a good impression of the woman named Lan Jingjing at all, he didn't miss the old feelings so much, he could do it to anyone who cared about her, and there must be no good end.
"No, Jingjing is not that kind of person, and I believe that she is definitely not that kind of person." Zhao Yun's head shook like a rattle, he and Lan Jingjing grew up together, and he asked himself who knew her best.
Xiao Zheng didn't expect Zhao Yun to be so infatuated, seeing that he was usually honest and honest, he was very arrogant, and he was consistent in terms of feelings. But the reality is that he was beaten, and he was beaten miserably, if Xiao Zheng hadn't arrived, he might have been beaten.
"Everyone's first love is very beautiful, but people always change, the Lan Jingjing you know has changed, she has become powerful, money-worshipping, selfish, wake up." Xiao Zheng said that Zhao Yun is a good person, an out-and-out honest person, and people like him should have good results. But good people are rewarded, and now it's just a fool's dream.
"No, she won't become, and she won't change when everyone changes." Zhao Yun said very seriously, in Xiao Zheng's opinion, it was even more serious than when he was making baked cakes.
Zhao Yun ignored Xiao Zheng on the side, and began to talk about it himself, telling the story of the two of them.
Life in the slums is unsatisfactory, Zhao Yun is an outcast, was mistaken by the old beggar for garbage to pick up, only to pick up a life, after the old beggar died of illness, to the nearby factory to transport cement, bricks, hard to do manual work, in his spare time to rummage the garbage thrown by people, and that year, he was nine years old.
Lan Jingjing is an orchid in the slums, always standing aside, picking flowers to make garlands, or flipping through abandoned books or humming tunes that no one understands. Her mother was the mistress of a high-ranking official, it was the harshest season at that time, many high-ranking officials were caught and dismounted, Lan Jingjing's nominal father abandoned their mother and son in an undiscovered corner in order to keep his official position, and watched them fend for themselves, her mother died of illness due to depression and no good medical treatment, that year, she was six years old.
"Do you like to read? This one is up to you. Zhao Yun, who was dirty, took a yellowed book and handed it to Lan Jingjing, which he picked up, he knew that Lan Jingjing liked to read, so every time he saw a book when he picked up garbage, he would put it away, wipe the dust on it, and finally give it to Lan Jingjing as a valuable gift.
"Thank you, I love it." Lan Jingjing held the book in her arms and regarded it as a treasure.
Lan Jingjing always likes to pick up the vegetable leaves that were thrown on the ground after the market closes, and then return to her hut that is not sheltered from the wind and rain, using simple kitchen utensils, making delicious vegetable soup, waiting for Zhao Yun's return.
"Is this the school? It's nice that the people in here are carefree! Lan Jingjing looked at the classmates in the school who were doing recess exercises, full of longing, hoping to be one of them.
"Then go ahead, I have a way, as long as you do more every day and move a few more times, it will be enough for your tuition." Zhao Yun patted his powerful chest and proudly assured.
"No, that's too hard, if I go to class, you'll have to work even harder, and if I don't bring you food at noon, you'll be hungry." Lan Jingjing shook her head and refused.
"No problem, it's okay to be hungry, one of the two of us must change, otherwise it will always be like this, I have a bad mind, you like to read, and your brain is smart, you can definitely be admitted to college, because this is our dream."
That day, Lan Jingjing cried, and the girl who didn't even cry when her mother died.
Then, in the slums, you can always see a young girl carrying a shabby schoolbag, setting off early, wearing straw sandals with open toes, even if her feet are bloody, she has to walk this road to school, day after day, never absent, because her happiness is won by the blood and sweat of the teenager.
Lan Jingjing studied very well and was always the first, but she had no friends, her classmates were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, competing with each other, she just hid in the corner and read the book quietly.
Being bullied and bullying on campus is almost commonplace, but she endures it silently, she can't let this opportunity go to waste because of her impulsiveness, and let his blood and sweat be in vain.
Slowly, the days went by like this, Zhao Yun once injured his muscles and bones when he was carrying, and was fired, and only got half a month's salary and two bags of rice and noodles as a work-related injury, in order for Lan Jingjing to continue to live the same life, he endured the pain in his arm, pushed an iron cart every day, and made baked cakes.
When Lan Jingjing got out of school, she would also work with her, making hot baked cakes, and the hearts of both of them were warm, day after day, year after year, until that year, Lan Jingjing graduated from high school, she was seventeen years old, and he was twenty years old.
"You have to go to college, that's what you've been trying to do for so many years." Zhao Yun put his arm around the girl's trembling shoulder.
"I'm leaving, you're left alone, you're so clumsy that you won't take care of yourself." Lan Jingjing choked.
"It's okay, I'll wait for you to come back, I'll be here selling baked cakes and waiting for you to come back." Zhao Yun once again bid farewell to his favorite girl, for her dreams and for her future.
Zhao Yun sold baked cakes in this old place day after day, but what he was waiting for was a breakup and a series of harassment.
"Do you want to smoke?" Xiao Zheng took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag, which was given to him by Fat Li.
"Yes, I haven't smoked it, but I really want to try it" Zhao Yun took it, tears streaming down his eyes.
Xiao Zheng also lit one himself, asked about the choking taste, and listened to the story of Zhao Yun.
"Brother Zheng, have you ever liked someone? Have you ever loved it? ”
Listening to Zhao Yun's words, Xiao Zheng was also confused, although he was not as vigorous as him, he also had his first love.
"First love? I also have it, I was in high school in Yin Cheng, when I was in my first year of high school, I was in my youth, I liked a very quiet girl, I was the worst student in the class, and I liked to fight the most. ”
"She can't get used to seeing me willing to fall, always give me lectures in my spare time, I don't know how to reciprocate, I want to teach her to practice martial arts, she said that she can't exercise vigorously because she is not in good health, so I taught her to stack stars."
"At that time, boys in those days always liked to do some handicrafts to please girls, and it was also very effective, and she would fold the star paper I gave her when she was resting."
I asked her who she wanted to give it to. She said it was a secret and wanted to leave a memorial to the important people. ”
"In the second semester of her sophomore year of high school, she didn't come back to school, and I heard from the teacher that her parents had transferred her to another school."
"I'm sad, that's the first girl I liked. It was also that day that I had a doll stuffed into my desk, a very cute little bunny. Xiao Zheng smiled as he spoke, and he also remembered a little, "I still took it with me until I went to OUHK." ”
"When I was training at OUHK, I broke it once, and I accidentally broke it, and I wanted to find a junior to help me sew it, and it was then that I found that it was not cotton, but it was stuffed with stars that she folded with her own hands."
"I was so emotional, I skipped class overnight, took a train to her hometown, and got the news that she had died, blood cancer."
"The year she gave me the doll, she was a year older than me, and the day I went to find her, I was three years older than her."
"I took out all the stars in the doll, and there was a message written in it, and what she left me was only four words, "Born a child."
"Brother Zheng, it turns out that you are too, but what do you want to say?" Zhao Yun listened, this is also a heart-wrenching story, I feel that he has something to say, but I don't know what he wants to say, is it to make himself like him, but Brother Zheng is omnipotent, he can only sell baked cakes, he is not that strong.
Xiao Zheng spit out a puff of cigarette and sighed: "First love is just a dream, the most beautiful dream, and you will wake up one day." People should be born with grandeur. ”
Zhao Yun cried, looking at the bright moon and crying, "Brother Zheng, I want to see her, I want to see her now." ”
