"There are not many, and the ones who bought only bet a few dollars, at most ten dollars, and everyone lost."

"What's the number?"

"Monkey No. 28. I regret not listening to you—"

"I'm guessing too, I'll just take a few casual glances at the code."

"Brother, next time you say which number, I'll listen to you."

"Damn, the money for food is almost gone, and you still want to buy it?"

"Buy, of course. If you don't buy it, you won't get back the money you lose! ”

"Where's the money?"

"Here's it." Hua Loubai opened the woven bag, which was full of bottles and cans and some useless codes.

"How many bucks can this sell for?"

"Up to 10 pieces."

"How many lunch boxes can I buy?"

"Two."

"Do you have a kitchen knife?"

"What do you want a kitchen knife for?"

"Chop your hands!" Nishino raised his leg and put the leather shoe on the back of Hua Loubai's hand and stepped on it a few times.

Hua Loubai suddenly let out a pig-like howl: "Big brother, I know I'm wrong. Are you okay to take your shoes away? ”

"Is the special code so good! If you don't repent, the dog can't change to eat, and you're going to have to eat for the rest of your life! Nishino picked up the stick and hit Hua Loubai fiercely.

"Don't fight, don't fight-" Hua Loubai held his head, kept begging for mercy, and didn't dare to fight back.

"Lao Tzu warns you, if you buy a code in the future, I will really break your legs and make you lie on your stomach to ask for food." Nishino threw the stick on the ground, furious.

"Don't dare next time."

"And next time?"

"Never buy it, big brother. I'll do whatever you want me to do, and I'll listen to you. ”

After Hua Loubai was beaten by Xiye, he was addicted to getting rich overnight, and he sobered up a little and reclined on the chair: "Big brother, now we have a problem eating, what should we do?" ”

"Haven't you been a beggar for days? Go ask for food—" Nishino moved the stainless steel bowl to Hua Loubai's side.

"No, no." Hua Lou bowed, a little embarrassed.

"While it's time to eat supper, it's better to ask for a few." Nishino touched his belly.

"But everyone else looks at their faces, so if you don't throw money in my bowl, what's the solution." Hua Lou looked at the empty bowl, one hand rubbing vigorously on his leg.

"Why are you nervous about this bird?"

"Big brother, why don't you go and ask for a few dollars and show me?"

"I'll go, you're a dead flower, and if you want food, you want me to teach you?"

"Then don't eat supper tonight, I'm not hungry anyway."

"Ou Yo, you're quite dragged. Hua Loubai, can the garbage in your hand be exchanged for a boxed lunch? ”

"It should work."

"You go and pick up all the plastic bottles and cans that others have discarded in the park, and go to redeem the lunch box tomorrow."

"You're not going?"

"You lost my 50 yuan, you have to pay me."

"How do you talk? When I went to place a bet, didn't you agree to give me the money? ”

"You were like a bear at the time, can I stop you?"

"I will pay you a maximum of 25 yuan, and if I say that I will win half of one person, if I lose, you want me to go out alone, no way!"

"Ou Yo, you're quite dragged. Believe it or not, I'm going to abolish you? ”

"I won't beg for money if I am killed, what a shameful thing. I have hands and feet, and I have a healthy body, and I reach out to passers-by to ask for money, but others don't give it, where is my dignity? Eldest brother. ”

"Hua Loubai, do you know how to write the word dignity?"

"As the saying goes, dignity is – it is better to live standing than to die on your knees!"

"Who said that?"

"It seems that Chairman Mao said it in honor of Bethune."

"A lot of people have said this, and as for who is the original, I don't want to be exquisite. As a bloody man, relying on the little charity of others to survive, should you be ashamed? ”

"A man lives a face, and a tree lives a skin. Turning a corner is a way forward. I understand that. ”

"People's hearts are exchanged, and dignity is earned. People respect you for your character, and you are praised by others. People help you, and you don't forget. I didn't help you with anything, I just hope you cheer up, don't keep thinking about getting something for nothing, lunch is free and you can eat it for free, just do it. ”

Hua Loubai seemed to understand something, and threw the rice bowl and stick on the ground: "Big brother, thank you, from tomorrow, we will go to find a job, even if it is to do coolies." ”

"Brother Hua, I won't say much about the big truth. I still have more than thirty pieces here, and I'll use them all up tonight......"

"No, you can't. Running out, what to do tomorrow? ”

"This is called putting to death and then being alive, fighting against the water. I don't believe that without a graduation certificate, I would starve to death on the streets of Guangzhou. Tomorrow the sun will rise. It is inevitable that you will encounter difficulties on the road of life, and it is not a way to turn around and go around. The mountain does not turn, the road turns; The road does not turn, the people turn. As long as the mind turns, adversity can also become an opportunity. ”

"That's right. If it is not broken, it will not stand. ”

"You and I are both bitter cauliflowers, it doesn't matter what is broken and established. It's the right thing to get some food to come back. ”

"No, you still need money to find a job tomorrow, and it's impossible to walk."

"It's fine. The machines at the nearby construction site are still ringing, should we take a turn and see if there is any work to be done? ”

"It's too late, those security boys will arrest us when we get out of the park."

"Well, sleep well. Take care of your spirits and start work tomorrow. ”

The two stopped talking, and each found a place to sleep in a dimly lit corner, and slowly fell asleep......

The next morning, the two ate some fried noodles, bought paper and pens, collaborated on a park bench to make a business plan, one for each person, and began to look for work separately. Guangzhou Airport Road, Liuhua Road, Jiefang Road and other restaurants and factories have been walked through, and the person in charge of the personnel department either said that he had a college diploma or had work experience, and he politely rejected them one by one.

Two days passed, and nothing was found, so I could only pick up some garbage at night for a little money to fill my stomach.

On the third day, after one o'clock in the afternoon, the two got together again, and Hua Loubai and Nishino still didn't find a job.

"It's not good to be a teacher, big brother." Hua Loubai was tired of becoming a dog, "Let's go and sit at the fountain in the square for a while." ”

"Okay, take a break." Nishino nodded.

The sky is clear and the white clouds are long. On the road and in the square, the beauties are also fluttering in the wind. The breeze is blowing, and Yangcheng in early spring is still a little chilly.

Nishino and Hua Loubai sat down by the circular fountain in the center of the square, and there were more than a dozen fish in the fountain. There are some stalls in the square, and many people are watching, but it is lively.

Before the buttocks were hot, Hua Loubai actually ran to the edge of the stall, watching others write, paint, and buy small items with great interest.

Nishino didn't go, and he didn't have the heart to look at those things, so he sat on the edge of the fountain and said nothing, recalling the scene of looking for a job in the morning.

The project manager pointed at his nose and scolded: "Are you a pig?" I said that I was not interested in your project, and you still brought it, how many times has this been? It's the third time! ”

The investor gritted his teeth and stretched out three fingers fiercely. Nishino just wanted to explain, but was carried out by the security guard.

Nishino's melancholy eyes looked at the sky, the sky was so blue. In this way, he sat stupidly until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and Hua Loubai did not know where to run.

An old lady in her seventies passed by the square and saw Nishino by the fountain. With a curiosity, he walked over, followed Nishino's eyes and looked at the sky, and asked for a long time, "Young man, what are you looking at?"

Nishino raised his hand tremblingly and pointed to the sky: "Look, shark ......"

"Young man, you don't have a fever, do you?" The old lady reached out to Nishino's forehead to check his temperature, Nishino was still demented.

Suddenly, the old lady withdrew her hand and shouted: "You bastard boy, even the old lady is fooled, it should really be called a fountain, spray you." Then scolded a few words of Cantonese such as "splash the game", and the old lady left.

The fountain really erupted, Nishino didn't pay attention, his clothes were wet again, and there had been three times before that, not because he didn't want to go, but because his feet were numb and he couldn't stand up.

On the other side, a beautiful crush dragon in his early 20s walked out of the train station with a smile, and suddenly couldn't find the way, so he slipped to the square. Glancing around, his eyes fell on the man who was acting a little grotesque by the fountain, of course, Nishino.

Nishino raised his hand to wipe the water from his face and continued to look at the melancholy sky, which was still so blue.

"What a strange person, is he a performance artist?" A girl's heart is ready to move!

Xiaoxiao walked straight over. Blinking and blinking his big eyes, he squatted down about 30 centimeters away from Nishino, and like the old lady, he followed Nishino's gaze to the sky.

"Oh, I said what to do, it's so blue in the sky. It's half past four, and it's still white clouds. Xiaoxiao looked at her wrist and said to herself without hurrying, in fact, she didn't have a watch on her wrist at all.

Although it was quiet, it didn't escape Nishino's ears. He glanced at it with the rest of his eyes and shouted in his heart: "Wow! When did such a big beauty squat beside her? Be calm, be calm. Is she the angel who saves me? ”

"That handsome guy...... Can you tell me what else you see besides the sky and white clouds? Are you a performance artist? ”

"Performance artist? You ask me? Nishino's hand trembled even more, and he slowly raised it and pointed to the sky: "Look, shark...... Sharkers！ ”

"Sharks? I'm also a UFO! Xiaoxiao thought that the person in front of him was not a performance artist at all, and that a madman was almost the same, "How can there be sharks in the sky?" If you want to have a fish, it should be a crocodile! ”

After she took five steps, a voice came from behind: "Pig, beauty, you pig ......"

"Pigs? You're a pig, you're a pig all over your body. When I heard the word "pig", I laughed and laughed!
