I can't start in our city anymore with the remaining more than one million, my next target is Jiannan - the hometown of my junior high school physics teacher, the closest city to Bingji City, Jiannan is a city famous for garbage security, it also has a dreamy name full of temptation: "The City That Never Sleeps", behind this beautiful name is that the city is rampant, and the city's main income is based on song and dance halls, disco bars, bars, Internet cafes, underground casinos, hotels and red light districts and other service and entertainment industries. But it was a paradise for me, because the number of halls there would be several times or even more than ten times that of our city. If I had a choice, I would rather go to a few more machine halls, each of which only earns a few thousand yuan, for Jiannan, a chaotic city full of violence and speculation, there are many crazy people, and the win or loss of a machine hall of a few thousand yuan should be included in the normal range, this kind of trivial matter may not be as attractive as talking about which hotel has an extra lady, or who is cut down on the street.

I took a taxi to the bus terminal and bought a ticket, this is the last train of the day, the fare in Jiannan is surprisingly expensive, three times that of other places in the same distance. This is not surprising, if the people who go to Jiannan are either on business or basically looking for fun, they naturally have a lot of money in hand. I looked at my watch: at 7:50, the car left at 8:30, and I still had half an hour to spare.

I thought about it, it's better to tell my family now that I'm not coming back tonight, I can't call home anymore in Jiannan, my dad will be scared to death when he sees Jiannan's area code, it's not a place where you can go to play casually, and you can play at any time.

I dialed the phone at home, and I just said the first word: "Hey......" The other party's anxious voice immediately came from the microphone: "Is it Brother Lin?" Where have you been? Why haven't I seen you all day? ”

I said in a deep voice, "Sisi, you tell my dad that I won't be back tonight." ”

Sisi hurriedly said: "Brother Lin, why don't you come back?" ”

"I'm going to borrow money from a friend out of town, anyway, just tell him like this, don't worry, I'm fine!" After saying that, I hung up the phone immediately, and before I cut off, I could still hear Sisi's anxious aftermath of "Hey, hey......". I know that this unclear statement will definitely make her worried, but I don't know how to explain it to her, I never like to socialize with other people before, and how can I know any friends from other places, but I must not tell Sisi and my family about such a thing as going to Jiannan to gamble money.

I hung up the phone and sat on a chair in the station, I didn't know what I was thinking, in front of me were passengers coming and going with backpacks or suitcases in tow, and there were people of all shapes and sizes sitting next to me, some laughing, some silent, some looking high, some distracted, some walking alone, and some walking together. For most young people, the station should be the starting point for them to pursue their ideals, although no one dares to say what the future holds. But what is it to me? Shouldering a heavy responsibility to fight against the unpredictable, ethereal fate.

Anyone who goes out for the first time probably feels this way, especially someone like me who has just suffered an unfortunate change in my family. Jiannan is nearly a four-hour drive away from Ice City, which is a long way for me who has never been out of the Ice Zone, and it is enough to arouse my infinite feelings.

My stomach suddenly "gurgled", I came back to my senses, only to feel weak, I actually forgot one thing: I haven't eaten a little bit for a whole day, I can't eat in the morning, I have been winning money at noon and night, I stand up, let's eat something, otherwise I will die before I can get out of school.

I found a food stall outside the station and sat down, and I shouted weakly: "Boss, come have two bowls of beef noodles and put more noodles." "I'm probably the first person in the world who makes nearly a million dollars a day and eats this kind of beef noodles for two yuan and five yuan a bowl. For me, it's good to have my stomach full, and the car is going to leave soon, and I'm so tired that I don't even want to go.

A fly flew around me, and I used the manipulation technique, and the fly didn't fall. After a day of manipulation, the strength in the body has been exhausted, and the rest is supported by a single thought, and now when I relax, where is the strength?

I devoured two large bowls of beef noodles, no longer caring about my manners, and my dirty clothes were like migrant workers who had just finished a day's work, which attracted the attention of other customers.

After eating, I rushed into the station, and it was almost time to leave. The car is very luxurious, and people who go to Jiannan to play basically have a little money, and the car is naturally the best. Sitting in my seat, my dirty and sloppy appearance contrasted sharply with the clean seat, and even the most polite flight attendant couldn't help frowning when she saw it, but she didn't know how she would feel if she saw that I had nearly a million yuan in my bag. I am also incompatible with the rich people in the whole car who wear gold and silver to Jiannan in suits and leather shoes, mobile phones and watches, and women who wear gold and silver to Jiannan to have fun, and I guess they will never figure out what I, a beggar-like boy, are doing in a place like Jiannan. I was in the last row, and I was the only one who sat down, and probably no one wanted to sit with me.

The car drove out, I looked at the dark night and the gorgeous lights outside the window uncertainly, I like the night, but now I am not in the mood to appreciate, the problem of money should be solved, but I don't have half a joy in my heart, even if the money is enough, my mother's success rate of surgery is still only 60%, when I think of this, the heavy night seems to be filled with a pressure, through the car window on my chest, my heart seems to have fallen into the bottomless abyss.

I hugged that denim backpack in my arms, and I hugged it tightly, this bag was like the whole of my life. I was tired, and my body seemed to be falling apart at any moment. The car was driving on the highway, very smooth, so smooth that I didn't feel a little bumpy, drowsy, my eyelids wanted to close, but I didn't sleep, and I didn't dare to sleep, whenever I wanted to fall asleep, I bit my lip hard, and the sharp pain was a good way to stay awake, although it was a cruel way, but it was always effective. I was afraid that if I closed my eyes, the denim bag in my arms would be gone, even though I knew no one would be eyeing this old style of street stall that everyone in the car despised.

It seemed as long as centuries had passed, and the car had come to my station in a state of wakefulness and confusion. I walked out of the station and looked at my watch, and it was 12 midnight. But the streets are not as deserted as I imagined, and the night market in Bingji City is almost over at this time, but for Jiannan, the nightlife seems to have just begun from this moment. The dark sky was streaked by the colors, the huge pillars of light were divided into countless broken pieces, and the flickering neon lights on both sides of the road illuminated the street as bright as day.
