Dozens of kilometers away from Xilin City, in a remote mountain village, Yang Longjun was carrying a simple backpack and standing at the entrance of a familiar and unfamiliar village.

It's been almost forty years in a blink of an eye.

The original old mountain village has long since completely changed.

The old adobe tile houses in the village are gone, and they have all been replaced by small western-style houses.

Those who are familiar with it are either old or can only show people epitaphs, and even the cutest little sister of the neighbor's parents pushed her grandson to start square dancing.

The creek in front of the village has also dried up, and the small bridge in memory has become a wide cement bridge.

Only the green hill behind the village is still verdant.

According to the memory of coming to the location of his house, Yang Longjun found that it had been turned into a vegetable field.

Parents must have been dead for many years, right?

Thinking of this, Yang Longjun's heart couldn't help but feel a little sad.

That year, he did not listen to his parents' dissuasion, and in the winter, Tou Tie and a group of classmates went to climb the mountain, but were trapped in a cave by heavy snow.

This is forty years.

Forty years, things are not people!

But his face is still the same, and he has obtained extraordinary skills.

But so what?

No one can remember him anymore.

There were still a few relatives in the village, but he didn't plan to meet them, and when they did, they couldn't explain clearly, which only added to the trouble.

Maybe you'll have to treat him like a monster.

Sitting on the stone on the side of the road, Yang Longjun looked at the vegetable field and thought for a long time, and finally got up and left the place where he was born and raised.

It's useless to sit here and be sad, since you're still alive, let's live well.

On the way back, he saw that the world had changed dramatically, more than it had been decades ago, and there were so many things he hadn't seen before.

He used to be a top student and had already gotten a place in college, but now he finds that the knowledge he learned at that time is completely insufficient now.

So he plans to find a livelihood first, study while making money, and adapt to this era as soon as possible.

But after a few days in Xilin City, he couldn't find a suitable job.

He didn't have an ID card, so he didn't dare to use him in a slightly more formal place, not even on a construction site.

In the end, under an overpass where migrant workers gathered, he finally found an organization, took a few temporary jobs with a group of migrant workers who were temporary workers, and earned a little living expenses.

But there is no place to live, so I can only live on the overpass like a homeless man, eating and sleeping in the open.

But he didn't complain about it.

Compared to the era when he had the accident, this was not bitter at all, and now he can eat rice and meat at least every day.

And he believes that with his constant efforts, sooner or later he will live a normal life.

The suffering in front of us is just a foreshadowing for a better future.

......

Two months later.

Yang Longjun has adapted to the rhythm of modern life, learned to use a smartphone, learned to surf the Internet, and has become the most famous ...... in this area by relying on his strength Master of moving bricks.

One brick clamp in one hand, against the fiery sun, the two arms kept flicking.

Thousands of bricks are just appetizers for him.

So this month, he made a lot of money, got an ID card, bought a mobile phone, a battery car, rented a house, and replaced two suitable clothes.

Last night, I also invited a few familiar workers to have a hot pot to repay the help he received during this time.

Walking out of the rental house, the early morning sun sprinkled on his face, looking so full of confidence.

Starting today, he doesn't plan to move bricks.

Yesterday he went to interview for a security job, beat the crowd and was successfully accepted, and today is his first day on the job.

Riding a battery car through an alley, a young man on a motorcycle suddenly rushed over, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and the two did not collide together.

"Blind!"

The motorcyclist turned around and cursed, and because of this turn, he hit an old lady in front of him.

The old lady fell down with an ordinary bang, and all the vegetables she bought fell to the ground, and tomatoes and potatoes rolled everywhere.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the motorcycle man ran away as soon as he flew off the accelerator.

"Hey! you're standing!"

Yang Longjun hurriedly stopped, and wanted to chase the man who was riding the bike, but when he saw the old lady lying on the ground and was sad, he turned around and helped her up.

He can only be blamed for knowing too little about this society.

In the past two months, he has been making up for common sense, understanding the world pattern, and caring about national affairs.

The co-workers who worked with him were also very nice and took good care of him, making him mistakenly think that the world was still the same as it was a few decades ago...... Chaste.

So he dared to help.

"Old man, how are you?"

"Ugh...... My leg hurts so much......"

Yang Longjun saw that she was in pain and was about to fall into a coma, so he didn't think much about it and helped her to the battery car.

"Bear with me, I'll take you to the hospital now. ”

The old lady was sent to the hospital in a hurry, and some expenses were paid in advance, and when the old lady was examined, her family finally came.

"It's good that you're here," Yang Longjun said enthusiastically, "then I'll go to work now." ”

"Wait!" said a middle-aged woman with a frown, "You hit someone and want to leave like this?"

"I hit someone?" Yang Longjun quickly explained, "I didn't hit her, it was a motorcycle rider who hit her, I just sent her to the hospital......"

"Hehe, it's the same as it really is," the woman sneered three times, "if you didn't hit her, why did you help her?

"If you don't figure this out today, you must not leave!"

Yang Longjun was a little confused.

He just helped people with kindness, why did he rely on him?

"Eldest sister, I really didn't hit it. "It was the man on the motorcycle who hit it." ”

"Do you have proof?"

"Evidence ......"

"But you don't have any proof that I hit it!"

"Why not?" said the woman, "you sent my mother-in-law to the hospital, and this is the evidence!"

Yang Longjun was completely speechless this time.

Can this be called evidence?

The police won't believe it when they come, right?

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise," a middle-aged man said, "this brother, we haven't seen what the hell is going on, and it's not easy to define it now."

"So, when my mom comes out with the film, we ask her, and things will be clear," the middle-aged man said, "If it wasn't for you hitting it, we would naturally have to thank you." ”

Yang Longjun felt a little more comfortable after hearing this, it seems that not everyone is so unreasonable.

But when the old lady checked it out, she was sure that he had hit it.

"Auntie, you have to think clearly before you talk about it," the sweat on Yang Longjun's head came out urgently, "At that time, you were facing away from me in that direction, how can you be so sure that I hit it?"

"That's you. The old lady said with her eyes closed.

"Then you say, what color bike am I riding?"

"I didn't see it, you hit me. ”

"Aren't you unreasonable?" Yang Longjun said, "You have to have a little conscience, I kindly sent you to the hospital, and I also paid you for the medical bills, how can you rely on me?"

"That's you. ”

Yang Longjun: ......

"Now, my mother said it was you," the middle-aged uncle said with a calm face, "Then tell me, how do you compensate?"

"I didn't hit it, why should I pay?"

"Okay, I won't argue with you," the middle-aged man took out his mobile phone, "In this case, let's call the police and let the police deal with it." ”

Yang Longjun nodded, it is best to call the police, he believes that the police will give him justice.

But then his job is in vain.

I was absent from work on the first day of work, and I was so busy running errands just now that I forgot to call to ask for leave.

It's just a job, and it's a small thing compared to his innocence.

If the job is gone, you can look for it again, but if your innocence is gone, you won't come back.

To be a man is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, to have a clear conscience, and to uphold justice.

The police soon came, and after inquiring about the situation, they sent people to investigate near the scene according to Yang Longjun's confession to see if they could find eyewitnesses or whether there was any surveillance.

While Yang Longjun waited anxiously, the results of the investigation came back.

"We visited," said one officer, "but we didn't find any witnesses." ”

"No," Yang Longjun said, "It wasn't very early, and there were a lot of people around to see it, and a few shops were open!

The police officer glanced at him, is this person stupid or naïve, in this society, who would be willing to take the initiative to come out and testify for you?

But he didn't say it, but continued: "It's the old town, and it's very remote, and there is no surveillance. ”

Yang Longjun knew what surveillance was, so he nodded.

"So it's not easy," the officer said, "we mean that you try to mediate yourself." ”

Yang Longjun frowned: "What do you mean?"

Mediate by yourself, how to mediate?

"Won't you do justice?"

The officer looked him in the eye again, not knowing how to answer his question.

"If justice is administered, it also depends on the evidence," the police officer said, "and now there is no evidence, and we can't make a judgment based on the confessions of your clients." ”

"Then you're just looking at her and relying on me?"

"How do you speak?" the officer frowned, "we have no evidence to prove that she was hit by you, or that you didn't hit her."

"If you don't feel convinced, you can not mediate.

"When they will certainly be mentioned above, go through the court to settle the matter.

"If you still can't produce evidence by then......"

"What will happen?" Yang Longjun asked, "will the judge convict me?"

"It's the judge's business, I don't know," the officer said, "but I've told you everything you need to say, and you can do it yourself." ”

"I'm looking at it?" Yang Longjun couldn't understand, "Isn't it your duty to investigate evidence?

"We've tried to investigate. ”

"But didn't you find anything?" Yang Longjun said, "If you haven't found out clearly, you won't continue to investigate?"

The police officer wanted to give him a roll of the eyes, did this person travel over the last century?

They have tried their best to investigate and collect evidence, but there is no monitoring and no witnesses, so what can they do?

Is it possible to turn back time and go back to the scene at that time to see if it is possible?

"Alright, so be it," said the officer, "we've done all the work that needs to be done, and if you're willing to accept mediation, now the family is in the next room." ”

Yang Longjun thought silently for a while, and finally nodded.

"Well, I'm going to mediate. ”

Because his ID card was fake, he used the name of one of his nephews in the next room, and the two looked alike, but they were fooled here.

But if there is really a lawsuit, it will definitely alarm the nephew's family, and he will be exposed at that time.

But the middle-aged couple's appetite was not small, and they asked for 500,000 yuan when they opened their mouths, which really scared him a lot.

He thought that the old lady would fall and lose a thousand dollars at most.

500,000, is it enough to sell him?

Of course, 500,000 yuan is impossible, and the old lady has a slight bone crack, and the treatment fee is only tens of thousands of yuan.

Coupled with the miscellaneous nutrition expenses, the couple finally agreed to pay him 80,000 yuan.

Although it is very small compared to 500,000, Yang Longjun can't take out 80,000 yuan, and 8,000 yuan is not available.

After moving bricks for two months, he only earned a few thousand yuan, after all, moving bricks is not a daily job, and he has less than a thousand yuan on him now.

Looking at the mediation book in front of him, Yang Longjun suddenly came to his senses.

Why did things turn out like this, even though he had done a good deed, he had to pay someone else 80,000 yuan?

Why did the old lady, when she didn't see anything, insist that he hit it?

Why didn't the police believe what he said, when what he said was true?

Why was there obviously someone at the scene at that time, but no one was willing to testify for him?

In this matter, he asked himself to be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, and he had a clear conscience.

But what about the justice that should be mine?

Where did it go?
