This is a coastal city in the country, which belongs to the forefront of reform and opening up, and is the first to develop. Every year, a large number of college students and migrant workers flock to the city to pursue their dreams.

But the reality is cruel, only a few who can finally take root here are very lucky, and the vast majority of them eventually return home.

It's too difficult to survive and gain a foothold in such a city, and I really don't know how much of my blood is frozen by the appearance of prosperity.

Xiao Yuanchao, who was empty-handed, walked on the streets of the city a little blankly, looking at the strange prosperity. Since he was a child, he has stayed in the special armor unit, and after he came out, it was almost endless training, which made him a little unsure of what he should do at this time.

Although he stayed in Lanzhou for a few months, he was only running every day, and for the city, he could only be regarded as a marginal person and a passerby. Now what he has to do is to survive in this city, in the way of a normal person.

"Do you need to hire someone?" Xiao Yuanchao saw a recruitment sign posted in front of a café, walked in and asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry, we only hire waitresses." The people at the bar politely and indifferently refused Xiao Yuanchao.

Xiao Yuanchao nodded, walked out of the café and continued to walk along the street.

"Boss, do you need to hire someone?"

This is a large hotel with a luxurious decoration, and it also hangs a recruitment sign.

"Go to the personnel department and bring your ID card and a copy of your ID card." The security guard glanced at Xiao Yuanchao, who was wearing camouflage uniform, and said with disdain.

The security guards wore suits and leather shoes, and their shoes were shiny. Xiao Yuanchao, on the other hand, was dressed in a slightly worn camouflage uniform, with a pair of severely worn-out land combat boots on his feet. If anyone could see that he was a soldier when he was excited, he wasn't in the excitement stage right now.

Xiao Yuanchao, who was not in the excitement stage, naturally shrunk his body, looking extremely down, no different from the migrant workers on the construction site.

Hearing the need for ID cards and copies of ID cards, Xiao Yuanchao immediately turned around, shrunk his body, and left with a slight bend of his waist.

He doesn't have an ID card, and if he doesn't even have an ID card here, no employer is destined to dare to use him. This kind of city is quite strict in controlling the migrant population, and if it is found that this kind of person does not have an identity card, it will be necessary to impose a series of fines and education on the employer.

It's a pity that Xiao Yuanchao has nothing, ID card, money. It can be said that he was empty-handed, except for the clothes he was wearing, and he didn't have anything else.

"Fengyue place, casino ......" Xiao Yuanchao sat on the street, pondering to try his luck in these two places first.

In his impression, both places are black-cut, and maybe you don't need an ID card.

Next to him was also a group of people sitting idly, in twos and threes, some playing poker, some laughing and chatting.

Xiao Yuanchao was thinking about his own business, and he didn't notice the people around him, but he could feel that there were many eyes falling on him. These eyes were not aggressive, so he didn't want to pay attention to them.

A Mercedes-Benz 600 stopped in front of Xiao Yuanchao, rolled down the window, poked out a fat cheek, and opened his mouth to say to him: "Hey, give me some work, two hundred yuan." ”

Xiao Yuanchao was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded. But as soon as he was about to get up, he was pulled behind. People who were still playing poker and chatting just now swarmed up and surrounded the car windows.

"Boss, what are you doing? I can do water and electricity, bricklayers, not to mention physical work. ”

"Boss, where are you going? You go first, leave an address and I'll be there shortly! ”

“……”

The owner was a little impatient, and casually ordered: "Okay, it's you, Royal Plum Garden, Building 3 203." ”

"Okay, thank you boss, thank you boss!" Got this live thanked him and sent the Mercedes-Benz away with a smile.

"Monkey, you can be happy again at night, this time are you looking for Xiaohua or Xiaoli? Hahaha......"

The person next to him joked that he received a living person, and after a commotion, he turned around and came back, staring at Xiao Yuanchao.

"Boy, do you have my permission to beg for food here?" A man's face was full of abuse, and he pointed to Xiao Yuanchao's nose and said, "Do you understand the rules?" ”

"What rules?" Xiao Yuanchao asked.

"Pretending to be stupid? Brother Niu is talking about this labor market, do you understand? A young man next to him shouted at Xiao Yuanchao: "If you want to beg for food here, you have to follow the rules, and the rules are ......."

"What if you don't follow the rules?" Xiao Yuanchao asked, staring at the young man.

"Grass! Don't follow the rules and still want to beg for food here? ”

"Damn, it's boring, isn't it?"

“……”

A group of people rushed up and surrounded Xiao Yuanchao. The Niu brother hugged his arms and let out a sneer, and raised his head at Xiao Yuanyang and said: "Brother, it's not easy to beg for food here, I have to settle the city management and the head snake on the ground, these all cost money." Are you a stranger who comes when he wants, and grabs food when he wants? Hehe! ”

Xiao Yuanchao understood, this rule is that if you want to beg for food here, you have to worship the mountain first and pay for it.

"I don't have any money."

After saying this, Xiao Yuanchao picked up the person in front of him and walked forward.

"Oh, the strength is not small, you fucking push me again?"

"Look for a draw!"

"That's it!" Brother Niu shouted: "Everyone is gone, and they are still chattering about a fart." What about my cards, why are my cards missing? Just got a good hand! ”

“……”

A group of people continued to brag and play, as if Xiao Yuanchao had never come. This is their territory, and no one can come if they want to.

Xiao Yuanchao continued to walk forward, muttering to himself as he walked: Is this real survival?

Although he was asking himself, he was already sure that this was a kind of real existence. In the eyes of many people, this kind of work belongs to the non-stream, but even this kind of work has its own group protection. If you don't worship the mountain, you can't do it if you want to!

"Robbery! Heist it! ”

"Get out! Get the fuck out of here, or I'll stab him to death!" ”

A woman's sharp voice came, and the moment she heard this voice, Xiao Yuanchao's eyes subconsciously narrowed and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

A young man was holding a beautiful women's bag and wielding an apple knife and running wildly in this direction.

There were a lot of people on the street, and when these people saw the robbers, none of them chose to stop them, but quickly avoided them and made way for the other party. In a short time, a smooth road was paved for the robbers to escape.

The robbery was a beautiful young girl, dressed in fashion, screaming and chasing after her high heels.

"Get out! Get lost! The robber roared at Xiao Yuanchao, who was blocking in front of him.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Xiao Yuanchao shot out his leg like lightning and slapped it in the other party's face.

The robber was hit so hard that his body jumped into the air under the force of the force, and then fell to the ground and fell unconscious.

The girl chased after her, snatched her bag back, didn't even look at Xiao Yuanchao, and turned around and got into the crowd. （http：／/.）。

She—Why didn't she even say thank you?

Xiao Yuanchao was very surprised, this is the most basic thing, although he doesn't want to say thank you.

"Boy, let's go, it's too late if you don't leave." An elderly man kindly instructed Xiao Yuanchao, shook his head and turned away, and sighed: "Alas, the current society is ......"

At this time, Xiao Yuanchao saw a thief put his hand into a passerby's bag, followed the other party's steps, and quietly opened the bag, ready to steal.

There were many people who saw it, but none of them gave a warning.

The passer-by seemed to sense something, turned his head to look at the thief, tugged his bag, and walked briskly forward without saying a word.

Xiao Yuanchao was shocked, completely shocked. He couldn't figure out how this society could be so indifferent. Where is the moral heart? Where is the heart of public morality? Where is the spirit of righteousness and courage?

The shocked Xiao Yuanchao showed a disappointed expression and let out a long sigh.

More than a dozen young people dressed in different clothes walked briskly from the corner of the street, staring at Xiao Yuanchao who was standing there.

This kind of gaze was clearly felt by Xiao Yuanchao, he glanced back, and immediately knew that revenge was coming.

"Don't let me use special skills and means, and don't say don't let me fight." Xiao Yuanchao muttered to himself and found the best reason for himself.

With a "squeak", a Santana stopped next to Xiao Yuanchao, and a woman's anxious voice came from inside: "Quick, get in the car!" ”

Seeing the owner of the car, Xiao Yuanchao was stunned for a moment, opened the car door and got in.

Santana sped away, leaving behind a dozen young men who had come to take revenge with a ferocious curse......
