Chapter 3: The Helplessness of Existence in the World
————
Under the overpass, this is a gathering place for beggars, only to see a beggar under the overpass in a cardboard box, a worn, blackened and mud-covered beggar is resting, on the overpass a beggar covered with a shabby quilt is eating a gluttonous meal, and there are sleeping beggars in the distance, or newspapers, or paper covers.
There was no lighting except for a dim light at the top of the bridge, and the old woman sat down at random with her bag, 'I haven't eaten for a day, and I can't even reach my granddaughter.' ‘
I opened my back pocket, and inside was my own clothes, and I found a coat, although it was thin, but it was better than nothing.
Emaciated body, sideburns and gray hair that looked messy because of the hurry.
In a short time, the old woman fell into a deep sleep under her thin clothes.
……
"Hey, Haizi get up."
"Brother Jun, what are you doing?" Haizi, who was dissatisfied, turned around impatiently, but Brother Jun didn't seem to care, "Haizi, get up, get up, you have a business." ”
"What business?" Haizi turned around quickly, and asked in a low voice.
Brother Jun's mouth was Nunu, Haizi looked in the direction of Brother Jun, an old woman was sleeping deeply, and there was a backpack beside her, Haizi instantly understood what Brother Jun meant, the two of them lived on this little thing in this area, so Haizi knew what Brother Jun meant, "This time it's still 55, go." ”
Brother Jun and Haizi got up, and a beggar who hadn't slept not far from them quickly covered his head, as if he didn't know about it.
Haizi and Brother Jun quietly approached the old woman, their movements slowly stretched out to the old woman's back bag, Brother Jun was standing and looking around, and Hai Zi reached out and touched the back bag, and the moment he pulled back to his side, the old woman's eyes opened.
"What do you want to do?" The old woman hurriedly pulled back the back bag, and Haizi saw that the other party was awake, so she didn't speak, and made a look at the military brother, and then the two snatched the back bag.
"What are you going to do!" The old woman's voice gradually sharpened, "What are you going to do, what are you going to do, help~ help." ”
"Shut up~ No one here can save your life, give me the backpack obediently, or I'll kill you, old woman." Haizi's deep voice resounded on this overpass, and some sleeping beggars in the distance had been woken up, but all of them were silent and pretended to sleep, while Brother Jun looked around, and suddenly covered the old woman's mouth.
"Woo~~Woo~~" The old woman grabbed the back bag tightly, but it was two big men, her strength was not as strong as the strength of the two young men, and finally Hai Zi's heavy fist hammered on her arm, and the military brother covered her mouth and ripped her hands apart, and the back bag was finally snatched away by the two Haizi military brothers.
After the two people succeeded, they ran away with their backpacks, leaving the old woman crying alone in place, "How can this be~ How can this be like this~" The old woman's cry sounded on this overpass, and those beggars who were woken up, sleeping continued to sleep, they ignored everything, because they were at the bottom of this society, they had seen all the darkness of this society, they thought that they were already at the bottom of this society, they demanded from others, they begged from others, and they were incapable of helping others.
Only an old beggar in the distance, limping here, and everywhere he passed, there was a soft hum, when he came to the old woman, sat down, beside the old woman, gave one of his lunch boxes to the old woman, "Big sister, this is the way of the world, eat first, I see that your face is not good, you must not have eaten today, eat first." ”
Looking at the kindness in front of her, the old woman's heart was sour, and she sobbed lowly, "How can this be." Tears of the bean were slid down his rough face, and the old beggar wore a pair of tattered glasses, and he didn't know how many times the glasses had been repaired, as if they had been broken or trampled on, and the transparent tape was wrapped around the glasses holders, and the lenses were glued up by the transparent glue.
"This meal was delivered by someone on the road today, I just ate a little, but there is still half of it, you eat it first, this damn world is like this, people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden." The old beggar saw that the old woman had paid no attention to his own intentions, and stood up against the wall, and limped back to his nest.
"Thank you." When the old beggar had just taken two steps, the old woman said thank you with a sneer, "No thanks. The old beggar walked back to his nest with a smile on his face.
When the moonlight fell, Liu Yue drove Lin Xi back downstairs
"Today, it's been another day easily, don't be late for work tomorrow." Liu Yue sat in the driver's seat and shouted at Lin Xi at the door.
Lin Xi turned around and smiled at Liu Yue, and waved his hand to signal that he was going upstairs.
Liu Yue also waved her hand, then closed the window and prepared to reverse the car.
————
Lin Xi, who returned home, threw his small backpack on the bed, looked at the time, and it was already half past nine in the evening.
Looking at the furnishings at home, it is a simple desk next to the bed, there is only one of your own photo frames on the desk, the original flowers on the bedroom balcony have withered, and now it is just an empty flower pot.
I'm getting older, I'm 24 this year, but I don't even have a boyfriend, Liu Yue is my classmate, best friend, boss, and colleague. I really didn't expect that the son of a daughter would actually study with him in an ordinary high school, and then the two of them were admitted to college together, and after graduation, they still worked with her, is this God's destined fate, think about your life is really lucky.
After sighing for a while, Lin Xi found clothes to take a bath, and he has to go to work tomorrow......
When Lin Xi came out of the bath, he sat alone in the hall, looking at the scenery outside the hall, and was in a trance, "I haven't even seen my parents, they died in a car accident, and my grandmother raised me alone, this apartment was arranged by Liu Yue for herself, in fact, I didn't think about taking my grandmother over to live, but my grandmother has always disagreed." I don't know how grandma is doing, the last time I called was last weekend. ’
Thinking about it, Lin Xi looked at the alarm clock on the wall, it was already 10 o'clock, and grandma was also sleeping at this time.
Wipe the water from your hair with a towel, look at the beautiful scenery outside the apartment in front of you, the lights on the coast in the distance accompanied by the trees, and the couples strolling along the beach in the middle of the night, the sound of the waves can be faintly heard, 'This city is so beautiful. ’
After pouring a cup of hot water, Lin Xi moved the position to the balcony, the evening breeze blew, with a slight coolness, the sea breeze with a fishy smell, the sea can always contain everything.
————
Late at night, at two o'clock, I unconsciously walked in the corridor by the sea, watching the waves crashing on the shore, the evening breeze hit, the moist air mixed with the fishy sea, I seemed to see the lights on the other side of the sea, I knew that it was an illusion, because it could only be that the tall buildings behind me reflected the lights in the distance, but the hazy beauty was also so intoxicating.
I saw another girl in the distance, just like me, but she was sitting quietly on the stone chair by the corridor, maybe it was not far away to disturb the beautiful scenery of this moment, or maybe it was the sea at this moment that gently told its morning footprints, and we were all quietly gazing at this sea.
The sea can contain everything, it contains my confusion, at this moment I no longer think about who I am, where I am going, where I am from, quietly accompanying the sea, maybe there is nothing worth thinking about now.
Time passed, and I observed the girl in the distance, who was sitting quietly as before.
It's just that time passed a while, and in my impression, it should have been past three o'clock in the morning, and she hadn't come home yet, which caught my attention.
She moved suddenly, I saw her walking slowly, she walked down the corridor, walked down the beach, she leaned over and held a pool of seawater, I watched quietly, she was wearing a short skirt, a fancy short skirt with a fancy on her head, her short hair was blown up by the wind on the beach, I couldn't see her face clearly, she took off her shoes, a pair of flowery sandals, neatly placed on the shore, she lifted her skirt, walked around the coast, I looked quietly, the corners of her mouth pulled up a smile, "Girl who plays at night." ”
She was walking around on the shore, and I watched her play, but she went deeper and deeper, and the sea flooded half of her waist, and I began to worry, and my eyes became solemn.
It's just that she doesn't seem to be walking towards the shore anymore, and I notice that she is walking into the sea.
"Hey~What are you going to do~" I started calling out to her and running in her direction.
But she didn't seem to hear, we were too far apart, "Hey~ you stop." "I shouted and ran as fast as I could, 'It's too far.' We were so far apart at first that I had barely half the way and the water was up to her neck.
"Hey. You come back, you don't do stupid things. "I expected her to hear me, and she turned her head, and I saw the tears on her face, and her delicate face was now full of tears.
"Listen to me, don't do anything stupid, you come back first." I thought she heard me, and I repeated the whole sentence desperately, hoping that she would listen to my advice, "You listen to me, don't do stupid things, you come back first." “
But she turned her face again, at this moment, I was only 100 meters away from her, she took a step again, I couldn't see her head, I threw away my backpack, and ran quickly to the shore.
The sea water is so cold, biting cold, when my body enters the seawater, I suddenly feel the biting cold, I don't care about this biting cold, I move forward quickly, but the resistance of the sea water makes my movements not so sensitive, half of my body is submerged in my body, I got into the water, but I suddenly choked. Raised his head violently, "Whew~, I don't know water." “
"Help, someone, help." I used all my strength, I hope there are still people on the shore at this moment, but I look around, I can't see anyone, I am full of despair, close my eyes, I dive into the water again, not 3 seconds, I look up and get up again, "Ah~! "I hit my hands on the water." Why am I, I don't know how to water! “
"Help, come on, help~~~~", I hate myself at the moment, why I can't water, the sea is calm, she didn't struggle anymore, looking at the place where she sank, I burst into tears, I couldn't forgive myself, I watched her commit suicide, watched her die, and couldn't do anything, the pain was helpless, I could only watch a life drain in front of my eyes, "Ah." "I'm angry, I'm angry at my own incompetence, I'm in pain, infinite pain in my heart, it's right in front of me, but I'm not doing anything because of my lack of ability.
"Why!" I asked myself in my heart, her shoes were still not far from the shore, looking at her shoes, my heart tingled, she was still very young, those eyes told me that she actually wanted to live, but she made the wrong choice because she didn't figure out something.
The walking dead returned to the shore and looked at her shoes, I knelt in front of her shoes, I looked at the shoes and murmured, "Is there something that we can solve slowly, why do you choose such an extreme, you are still so young." Saying that, my tears flowed again, "It's all my fault, I can't swim, there's no one around, you're so stupid, what the hell are you for." “
"People, this life is so short, why don't you cherish it, why do you still do stupid things."
"Have you ever thought about the people who care about you, whether you are worth it like this?"
"You shouldn't be like this, even if there is any difficulty, we can go through it."
I looked up and couldn't see anyone but her and me, "You're so stupid, you're dying in such obscurity." “
I feel sorry for her, I feel sorry for her, I feel sorry for her, I blame myself for her.
