Volume 1 Survival Chapter 1 The passing years are unfavorable
Early Friday morning, Jiang Li'an came to the temporary territory of his own, the 'Hongbao Road Overpass', and started his day's work.
I saw him spread out an old cloth, which was densely covered with words, and it could be seen that it was extraordinary by the strokes that had been traced many times, and this was one of his eating guys.
And, of course, the imitation mask he made with a lot of money, the whole mask stretches all the way to his neck, as disgusting as if he had been soaked in a pool of sulfuric acid, and most importantly, this stainless steel bowl.
The stainless steel bowl with a large head looks like it has been stepped on a few times, and although the capacity is limited, it does not hinder his income.
Whenever the change in the bowl exceeds a certain amount, he will hide a part of it, and passers-by will naturally not see when it is full.
That's right, he's a beggar.
It is said that at his age, he will not be a beggar for anything, but everyone has their own ambitions, and for him, at least the income is still good.
I left society before graduating from high school, and there were only two paths in front of me, either a factory or a construction site.
As for running a business, being a security guard, and so on, it's pretty much the same, and the key issue is income.
By chance, he joined this beggar gang, and it only took him half a month to feel ashamed from the beginning to the point that it didn't matter, and he was not unkind.
To say that this job is also talented, it is not just about dressing up to win sympathy, diligence is the first thing.
The wind and rain have to go to work normally, there is really a headache and brain fever, and he can further improve his acting skills, weakness, exhaustion, and hoarseness can become his plus points.
The previous predecessor was an old blind man, not really blind, his unique skill was to roll his eyes, and he could turn over for a day, which was a strange person.
When Jiang Li'an drew this position, the old blind man was obviously reluctant, and he didn't dare to break the rules, so he had to reluctantly make room for him.
He can use the flyover for three days, and after three days, the lottery will be redrawn, and a good location can naturally bring high returns.
There are also some naturally crippled fierce people who are the object of his envy, paralyzed wherever they go, as long as there are people, they will not starve to death, and some accidents or man-made poor ghosts are not excluded.
Jiang Li'an threw the bowl on the ground and sprinkled a handful of coins and a few banknotes inside, which was called bowl money.
The maximum denomination of banknotes cannot exceed five yuan, and once someone puts more than five yuan banknotes, they must immediately find an opportunity to put them away, which is experience.
The time soon came to the morning rush hour, and just when Jiang Li'an was still regretting not eating more in the morning, the crowd had already hugged the overpass.
Hongbao Road is a prime location in the downtown area, but Jiang Li'an also knows that business is not easy to do in the morning rush hour.
In addition to holidays, most of the bull markets in their line are at noon or evening, so they are not so careful, check their clothes, and find no obvious flaws before leaning on the railing and taking a nap.
As he thought, he rushed to work early in the morning, who had time to take care of people like him, some people pinched their noses and walked in front of him quickly with disgust, which made him a little unhappy, he just looked dirty, and the real stinky disgust affected his income.
He didn't have long hair like the legendary god, he didn't wash it for years or even more than ten years, his hood was completely upside down, and his hair couldn't be seen.
It was September, the weather was neither hot nor cold, and he glanced at the office workers who came and went, and determined that there would be no business for the time being, so he simply closed his eyes and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but I felt that someone stopped in front of me in a daze, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a pair of white sneakers, and a pair of pink girls' shoes next to it.
Jiang Li'an looked up and saw a middle-aged uncle with a kind face, holding a little girl of seven or eight years old, stopping in front of the stall and looking at the rags he had spread on the ground.
"It's business!" In an instant, he entered the state of work, bowed his head, and muttered vigorously, "A good man has a safe life, and a good man has a safe life." ”
Under Jiang Li'an's earnest gaze, the girl finally took off the small backpack behind her, opened the zipper and grabbed a handful of money to put it in the bowl, he swept his eyes, this handful of red and green was nearly two hundred yuan, and he was thinking about hiding it for a while while when no one was around.
"Xiaotong ......"
The middle-aged man wanted to drink, but as if he thought of something, he let the girl put the money in the broken bowl, and just shook his head with a wry smile.
Jiang Li'an has met a rich man, and the poor have limited ability to be kind, and now that the dust has settled, the money in his bowl has entered it, and there is absolutely no reason to go back.
This flyover is really a treasure land, as soon as it opens, it is a big customer, and he secretly says that he is lucky.
Seeing the middle-aged man leading the girl all the way away, in a flash of light, the handful of banknotes had been put into his most intimate pocket.
The mood of the opening was different, and he cheered up and waited for the arrival of the next customer with peace of mind.
Professional beggars are different from the past, in the past, they were not so particular, they took what they were given, but now they all ask for cash, they have to be quick with their hands, eyes and mouths, they can't sit still, and sometimes they need to take the initiative.
The father and daughter were definitely the biggest customers of the day if there was no accident, and there were some potential big customers who were mainly couples.
Men tend to show their good deeds in front of women so that women can give them a good label, and vice versa, when encountering this kind of customer, he often takes the initiative and generally will not be rejected, and there is always some input for three melons and two dates.
He won't use the QR code thing, which not only does not play a convenient role, but will weaken the customer's sympathy.
It's just that there are fewer and fewer people with cash now, which has a lot of influence on their industry.
Time flew by until about 9 p.m., when the last train at the nearby bus stop had left, and after making sure that there would be no more business, he put away his stall.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he took out a plastic bag and stuffed a few things into it.
"Yes, I made at least more than 600 today." Jiang Li'an carried the plastic bag all the way down the overpass, and hummed proudly, "Today is a good day, and you can't wait to make money ......."
Beat around the bush, beat the corners.
Soon, he came to the meeting point, where there were people waiting early, all of them working in the neighborhood.
Jiang Li'an said hello, there were a few bigwigs who were bragging about their income, and he was just smiling, he still understood the truth that his wealth was not exposed.
Lao Liu Tou drove the broken van slowly, and everyone rushed up.
Listening to the old blind man, this old Liu Tou used to be a big man, who has been in this industry for decades, and can be said to have witnessed the glory of this industry, just because he was cheated out of his net worth in the first two years, and it was difficult to find his former state, so he had to be a driver and be responsible for their pick-up.
The van quickly drove to a scrap recycling station, and some bigwigs could pick up a lot of bottles and cans, broken copper and iron after work, and the fertilizer and water did not flow into the fields of outsiders, which was also an input, so there was this recycling station.
At this time, this small scrap recycling station was full of all kinds of cars, and the bigwigs were discussing where to go to be happy, Jiang Li'an was young and couldn't participate in the bigwigs' plans.
The management of them is very lenient, and the old north-south management method has long been over, and now you only need to pay a management fee on time every month.
They divide the area according to the site, use the lottery to decide, and rotate every three days, so that they don't stay in the same place for too long and cause disgust from customers.
Many bigwigs who can be on their own are also willing to pay money to save trouble, and the real lone rangers have gone to the countryside for development, and they can't survive in the city.
I hadn't eaten or drunk for a day, and I couldn't suppress the hunger in my stomach when I relaxed, so I put down my things and went straight to the direction of the hotel.
"Today, I have to eat at least three bowls of rice, plus a big bowl of braised pork, and a sauce of pork ribs." Jiang Li'an hurried along the path next to the recycling station, and when he thought of the braised pork, he put more effort on his legs.
"Go to Liu Sanjie today, yesterday's Sichuan and Chongqing are not good, not authentic."
"Hey, what's going on?" Jiang Li'an just turned onto the road, and suddenly wrapped him tightly with a bag on his head, thinking that someone was playing a prank, he was a little angry and said: "Don't be kidding, who." ”
"Don't move, I'll kill you again!"
As soon as the voice came out, Jiang Li'an immediately felt that something was wrong, he had joined the beggar gang for less than two months, and there were few people who could speak, it didn't look like someone was joking with him, could it be that he had encountered a kidnapping ticket? No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a rich man.
"Big brother, I have the old and the young, just a poor worker, you let me go, I still have a few hundred yuan in my pocket for you to take, just when I don't know anything, okay?" Jiang Li'an immediately begged for mercy, and the hero did not suffer the loss in front of him.
"It's not the middle of the night, why don't you even have a pedestrian." He cursed.
No one answered, he didn't even know that it was a few people who committed the crime, and soon he felt like he had been thrown into the car, and he struggled desperately, thinking that even if he died, he would be a ghost, as if sensing his abnormality, his back suddenly hurt, and then he lost consciousness.
Thousands of lights are on, and in the big city, it will not be different because of the lack of individuals, the vehicle is galloping, and what Jiang Li'an in his sleep does not know is that from this moment on, the trajectory of his fate has undergone earth-shaking changes.
。。。。。。
The bright lights illuminated this small room, and Jiang Li'an woke up slowly.
"Where is this?"
"Rub, how did I fall asleep?" He opened his eyes and saw that there was nothing in the whole room except for a bed, and he touched his body, the money was still there, and the phone was gone, "By the way, it seems that there was an injection in the back when I was in the car. ”
"It's not like a place to lock up people, is it?" Jiang Li'an got out of bed, twisted the doorknob, and found that there was no lock, and he was secretly happy, "There is no endless road!" ”
