He was startled, Qi Jing looked back, and was so frightened that she wanted to sneak into the dormitory, but was grabbed by the "stone antique" with one hand.

"Stone Antique" pushed her against the wall hard, and she cried silently without knowing whether it was pain or fear.

Ze Kuan looked very distressed and wanted to step forward to block it, "Stone Antique" turned his head and glared at him, his eyes were like knives, and his expression was terrifying, which made him feel cold for a while, and his feet trembled.

"Stone Antique" gritted his teeth and asked him in a gloomy tone: "Do you think that she can't speak, so she is very easy to deceive and fool!" ”

Although Zekuan was afraid, he mustered up the courage to say: "I didn't lie to her, we really love each other." ”

"Stone Antique" let go of Qi Jing, grabbed Zekuan's shoulders with both hands, and slammed him against the wall, squeezing his shoulders with both hands like iron claws.

Although Zekuan was only slightly shorter than him, he was far less strong than him, and his strength was even less than his, and his shoulders were grabbed by him and hurt into his heart and lungs.

People in several nearby dormitories came out to see the excitement when they heard the movement, and the people in their factories did not dare to come forward to stop it.

Qi Jing saw Ze Kuan's painful expression, she was afraid of "Stone Antique", she didn't know where she got the courage, so she stepped forward and broke his hand, and "Stone Antique" slapped her backhand.

"Qijing!" Zekuan screamed distressedly.

Qi Jing sobbed silently, not daring to step forward again.

"Stone Antique" glared at Ze Kuan and said viciously: "I really love each other, so what? She is like this, can you support her? Can you make her worry about food and clothing? ”

Zekuan had nothing to say.

"If you don't have the ability, stay away from her." "Stone Antique" let go of him after speaking, and dragged Qijing back to the women's dormitory.

The next day, Qijing didn't come to work, "Stone Antique" squatted at the gate of the factory and kept smoking, everyone in the factory knew about Zekuan and Qijing, many people were secretly discussing, Zekuan was doing work with a blank expression.

The boss came back, "Stone Antique" entered the office, and soon came out to go back to the dormitory, Zhao Wencheng ran to tell Zekuan: "'Stone Antique' received his and Qijing's salaries, and they are leaving." ”

Zekuan was silent, his hands did not stop, but the tears could not help falling.

Zhao Wencheng said: "If you are reluctant, go and stop it, damn, what age is it, and you are not allowed to fall in love freely." ”

Someone with good deeds chimed in and said, "That's it, while the 'Stone Antique' is still in the dormitory, go close the door and pull his niece to elope." ”

Someone said: "How long can the door be closed, just take the iron heart in and knock him out and then pull people away and fly high." ”

Someone walked to the back door to look, and after a while, he shouted: "Zekuan, they are gone." ”

"Go quickly, and go to see you one last time if you don't stop you." Zhao Wencheng dragged Zekuan to the back door.

Ze Kuan was pulled to the back door like a walking corpse, watching Qi Jing being dragged away by the "Stone Antique", twisting his head and looking at him with eyes that were already swollen from crying, crying silently.

Zekuan looked at it blankly, then turned around to wipe his tears and walked back to the workshop.

At noon, he didn't go to eat, he was lying on the bed alone, Wu Dangui fetched him food and came back and told him to get up to eat.

He shook his head and said, "Thank you, I'm not hungry." ”

In the afternoon, he went to work as usual, working like a machine.

I still didn't eat dinner, and I lay in bed after work, and I didn't take a shower, but I couldn't sleep when I lay in bed like wood.

In the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, he got up and went out, walked alone to the sand dunes by the river, sat where Qijing once sit, held the small pink radio she left behind, and finally couldn't help crying.

When Zhao Wencheng and Wu Yi came to find him in the morning, they saw him with red and swollen eyes, sad and haggard, and his hands and face were full of red spots from mosquito bites.

Wu Yi sat down beside him and comforted him: "It is said that first love is unforgettable, and it is often fruitless, just take me and Ruan Min as an example, we were very happy, but now we often quarrel, maybe we will break up that day, so you better look at it!" ”

"Qijing and I are different from you." Zekuan said faintly: "Now that I think about it, we are like a dream, I didn't know that she liked me in the morning, and when I knew, it seemed that I fell in love with her in an instant." Although I also know that there will be many obstacles in our love, I naively think that as long as we truly love each other, we can overcome everything together. ”

Wu Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Some words seem to say something like this: Love is coming, and it can't be stopped; Love makes people lose and make people crazy. You are a person who values feelings, and this thing has hit you hard, but it has come to this point, it is useless to be overly sad, love is gone, life has to go on, besides, you are separated now, maybe there will be a chance to be together in the future. You take a break now, either you won't go to me to watch a movie for a day, or Wen Cheng and I will go out with you for a day or two. ”

Zhao Wencheng also said: "Yes, in fact, falling out of love is not a big deal. ”

Zekuan said: "Thank you, no need, I'll go back to work." With that, he got up and walked down the dunes, not even taking a shot of the sand off his pants.

Wu Yi looked at his lonely back, shook his head and sighed.

Zhao Wencheng said: "This guy doesn't know if it's bad luck or if he's cheap, why he always likes women who won't end well." ”

Wu Yi asked him: "Didn't you say that the two of them were very secretive and no one found out?" And how did you know about 'Stone Antiques'? You can't find out the secret, right? ”

Zhao Wencheng said: "What are you talking about, I don't like that dumb girl, what is the benefit of informing, and is it a person like me who does something that is harmful and unfavorable?" ”

Wu Yi nodded and said: "I believe that you are not bad enough to do this, Zekuan is like this now, you are watching in the factory, after all, we are fellow countrymen." ”

Zhao Wencheng said: "Okay, I won't let him kill people, set fires or rape women." ”

Zekuan insisted on going to work and buried himself in work, so that he wouldn't miss Qijing too much, but the time after work was still difficult.

He sometimes goes to the sand dunes by the river, where the two of them have the most sweet memories, and now it has become the most touching and sad place, and there are candle heads burned over from the Mid-Autumn Festival night in the sand pit; He hummed the song that Qi Jing loved to listen to, but she couldn't hear it anymore, so he rarely came here.

He bought a Yangcheng pass, and when he didn't work at night, he took the bus and subway to wander around, and every time he went to a different place, he imagined that Qijing did not leave Guangzhou, and he could meet her on the road, he would not hesitate to take her away and fly high, but the sea of people was vast, and there was no face that he was haunted by.

He published two more articles in succession, one was about his mother's essays, and the other was his debut novel, which was about a pair of young men and women from different provinces who came to Guangzhou to work, and after facing family opposition and many difficulties, they had lovers and finally became married.

Neither article was published in the same magazine he had published last time, but a more famous and influential magazine that Qi Jing was unlikely to see.

Although the winter in Guangzhou is not very cold, it is bleak and unbearable for him.

Finally, at the end of the year, the factory had a three-day holiday earlier than last year, but it didn't start until the eleventh day of the first month of the new year.

Wu Yi wants to take care of the business of the movie store, and he will not go home for the New Year, he has analyzed that many migrant workers are having a hard time this year, they have not made any money, there will be many people who do not go home, and his business will not be worse than usual.

Wu Dangui also decided to stay in Guangzhou for the Chinese New Year.

In order to avoid having to buy tickets as hard as last year, Zekuan decided to buy a good ticket first and help Zhao Wencheng buy it together, when he arrived at the train station, although there were many people, it was far less terrifying than last year, maybe it was really like Wu Yi said, many people did not go home because they had no money.

Zekuan suddenly also had a thought that he didn't want to go back, he didn't want to go back to face his father, and it might be a good experience to spend the New Year quietly alone in a foreign land and feel the atmosphere of the New Year in the metropolis. But to see those who hurried home; Thinking of his mother and grandfather, whom he hadn't seen for a year, he dismissed the idea.

After a day of playing, he and Zhao Wencheng stepped on the train home.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, the gambling stalls under the big banyan tree did not seem to be as crowded as at this time last year, and it should be that the income of the people who went out to work this year was less, and there were not many gamblers, and he did not see his father. What made him strange was that the people in the same village looked at him a little strangely, as if they were still talking about something.

When I approached his house, I could smell the stench of feces and urine from a distance, and not far away there was a child watching the commotion, and her mother was splashing water on the wall with a scoop of water, and then washing the feces and filth from the wall with a broom.
