Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Story
Again, it's a twilight.
"Let's break up."
The gentle voice on the mobile phone is no longer there, replaced by the indifference of extremely bland reality, these three words are cold like the cold winter of Mohe, and it is the so-called happy end to the three-year relationship between me and her.
"Xiaoya, listen to me, I will work hard, I will look for it tomorrow, maybe there will be a ...... who will admit me" I am unwilling, even if there is only a little room for redemption, I will not give up. At the moment, the contradiction between me and Xiaoya is nothing more than this, when it comes to the age of talking about marriage, I don't have a car or a house, even if I can't even find a stable job, many times I am asking myself, am I a man after all, why can't I give Xiaoya the life she wants?
"Toot, toot, toot."
She is still so stubborn that she refuses to give me any chance, and it is true that she refuses to waste her good youth on me who cannot give her a stable future. The busy tone of hanging up the phone should be with my heartbeat, a moment, this is her answer, after all, she still let go, no matter how sweet the vows and gentle treatment can not withstand the test of cruel reality. Her iron heart is like a beating scale, I smiled bitterly, tears swirling in my eyes, I was so cowardly, I didn't have the courage to let tears flow.
I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Liu Ende, an unemployed young man who has graduated from college for three years, Enderend, my parents named me in the hope that we will get God's favor, but the current continuous employment and unemployment point of view, this is just the wishful thinking of the two old people, I really lived up to their expectations.
Put away the phone in my pocket, before that, I deliberately turned up the ringtone to the maximum, what if Xiaoya changed her mind? How I wished the phone would ring again, but after a long time, until the sunset on the western horizon sank into the concrete of the city, the sky was dark, and the last spark of hope in my heart was dark.
The wind was blowing, and the papers clenched between my fingers came out of my hands, and the wind pushed them to fly at random at this crossroads that I had walked so many times, and it was full of my resume, and I had pinned my hopes on them, but I never thought that it would be nothing more than a waste of paper full of words to others.
"What a person, this is!"
The passers-by all cast disgusted glances and walked briskly past me, as if I were a plague god, wishing to hide from me. Passers-by are disgusted, more indifferent, for strangers, no one is obliged to comfort, besides, everyone has their own troubles, the huge city, tolerant of everyone's laughter and tears, but it does not respond to the joys, sorrows and sorrows of these "ants", in the end it is up to people to digest themselves.
The red light came on, and the vehicles on the wide road stopped in an orderly manner, freeing up a sidewalk with zebra crossings drawn for pedestrians. When the people around me were waiting with me, I wiped away the tears that were about to flow from the corners of my eyes and told myself, "It's okay, go home and get some sleep!" ”
I smiled wryly, thinking that God would not be so bitter, try to wait for tomorrow, tomorrow will definitely be fine, maybe from the moment I went home, Xiaoya came to call, how I longed for her to smile and say to me that it was just a joke?
"It's going to be like this, it's going to be like this!"
The flame of hope rekindled in my heart, maybe? Three years of relationship, the former vows and alliances, how to say that it was broken, and it was saved!
"Didi, Dididi!"
The sudden sound of the horn made me shudder, and I realized that I was blocking my head to the side, it was a BMW, and I didn't have any research on what model it was.
"Hey! I don't care about you! Do you want to die? ”
The owner of the honking BMW poked his head out of the car, pointed his left hand at me and cursed angrily, only to realize that the light was green, and I was standing on the sidewalk blocking his way.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
I hurriedly bowed to him and apologized, and I was used to being humble in the process of applying for a job, and I really can't straighten my waist until now.
"What are you doing standing stupidly? Get out! ”
My apology was not understood by the BMW owner, who cursed angrily and I hurried to make way for him.
"What a fool today!"
The BMW restarted, and before I could close the window, the words reached my ears, and I saw him glaring at me and giving me the middle finger. I watched the BMW go away until it disappeared into the cluster of red-glowing taillights in front of me.
"If I can also drive a BMW, then Xiaoya will definitely not leave me. But I don't have that ability. "I laughed at myself and stood in the middle of the road waiting for the red light to come on again.
Home is not far from the small civilian area, in the middle of the city to pass through a downtown area, when there are no high-rise buildings around, my parents often bring me here, adults always say that this thing is unhygienic, but I always can't resist the temptation of deliciousness, often eat until the stomach does not stop. Later, after getting to know Xiaoya, I often brought her here, walked hand in hand through different stalls together, ate delicious food freshly made by the vendor together, even if it was a piece of diarrhea and grabbed the toilet, we were both extremely happy. It's just that such a scene may not happen anymore.
No, I haven't entered the venue yet, just passing by the doorway, and the smell of it and the noise of the crowd make my stomach growl. I fumbled the few crumpled tickets in my pocket, but I finally stopped my tracks.
"Sorry, belly, let's go home!"
I rubbed my belly in protest, shook my head with hunger, closed my eyes, gritted my teeth and ran forward, plunging headlong into the uninhabited alley, until I was far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, until I no longer smelled the tempting smell in my nostrils.
"Relieved."
I smiled bitterly, as if I had done a great job to save my hungry self from the clutches of food, but now I am panting heavily, should I be happy? Or hate yourself.
"Ah!!h
A woman's scream startled me and I immediately held my breath. I looked up alertly, but there was no one in the desert.
"Please, don't hurt me!"
In the darkness, there was the sound of a woman trembling and crying.
Rob!
This word immediately flashed through my mind, and my whole body became nervous for a moment. It was clear that the sound was coming from the front, and I walked slowly towards the woman's sobs, leaning over the wall. Soon I came to a corner, where the woman's crying was getting clearer, and I heard the voice of another person, poking his head out slightly, and I saw two men, who were facing away from me.
"Quick! Be honest! Wallets, where are the wallets? ”
A man was rummaging through a leather bag inside.
The woman was just crying and didn't answer his question, she must have been terrified.
"Hey, didn't you hear you again?"
The man with the knife next to him was obviously impatient, and he slapped the woman's face with the blade of the knife, making a crisp snapping sound, and said in a threatening tone: "If you don't tell the truth honestly, I will carve a little animal you like on your pretty face!" ”
"Please, don't hurt me!"
I saw the woman faintly between the shoulders of the two men. His skin was fair, and he cried into tears, but the light was too dim for me to see the faces of the two robbers.
