Volume II

Thieves

Chapter 5 The Prostitute Jinzhu

There is a bridge near the Cangzhou garbage dump, and the river under the bridge is deep enough to drown a rich man. A large sum of money once fell from here, and many people immediately came to the rescue, but only one hat was found.

This river goes to the sea, what is a rich man?

On 31 July 2000, a woman jumped off a bridge with a baby in her arms.

The woman's name is Jin Zhu and she is a prostitute.

On the embankment there is a row of disorganized houses, made of plywood and asbestos tiles, called the pauper's kiln in the language of the upper class, and the most dilapidated of them is Jinzhu's house.

In the spring, grass grows under her table; In summer, the rain runs under her bed; In autumn, how beautiful the fallen leaves are; Winter, don't write about winter, it brings only cold to some people.

Two poor people talk about winter this way:

"Last winter, it was so cold, my hands were frozen, my feet were frozen, and my ears were frozen."

"Yes, my hands are frozen, my feet are frozen, but my ears are not frozen."

"You have a hat?"

"I don't have ears!"

It's not you who is squatting in the corner shivering, so you can't feel the cold.

The people who live in the broken houses on the banks of the river also have their own lives, their own pots and pots, and their profession is to pick up garbage. Hexi is a garbage dump, and Hedong is a waste recycling station.

They picked up some things from Hexi and sold them to Hedong, so they simply maintained their lives.

They get up earlier than the wild dogs of the city, and at dawn they walk the streets unkempt, with iron hooks in their hands and empty bags with patches under their armpits, and they go up and rummage through the garbage bins when they see them.

Picking up trash also requires experience. An old man said to a novice: "Son, let me tell you, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the State Taxation Bureau, the Family Planning Commission, the Public Security Bureau, the Admissions Office, the Hospital, the Urban Credit Cooperative, the County Party Committee Hotel, and the Transportation Bureau, the garbage bins in these places are the fattest!" ”

There is a stone in the Jinsha River called "Nagong", and a boatman picked up a shell on it, and there was a big pearl in the shell. There was a garbage bin in the southwest corner of the family courtyard of the Cangzhou Tobacco Company, and a lucky guy once picked up a cigarette, and after opening it, it contained stacks of 100-yuan bills.

Picking up garbage sometimes collects rags, and we often hear people in the alleys shouting like this:

"The bottle collector is here again!"

"Who sells broken copper and iron!"

"Who sells scrap books and scrap newspapers!"

"The bottle collector is here again!"

"Who sells cardboard boxes!"

"Who sells cans!"

"The bottle collector is here again!"

Are they poor?

No, the dumpster is their treasure!

They had the privilege of picking up what you and I had left behind.

Are they human?

Maybe.

Look at those men, women and children climbing on the garbage mountain with iron hooks, they can only be said to be reptiles.

Where is their home?

On the embankment.

Afflictions of all kinds are neighbors of one another. A widow abandoned by her family, a farmer who lost her land, a family of six daughters, a lonely old man with no children, a homeless wanderer, a gambler who has become destitute, a mute who has hands but no job, a charlatan who has reformed his ways...... They gathered together to form a makeshift village, with no other work to do than pick up garbage.

Criminals also often hide in such dens. The person without ears mentioned above is Zhu Tongjia, a thief who has killed a family of four who have been absconding for many years.

After Zhu Tongjia was arrested, he confessed to a person: the car boss. The owner of the car runs a hotel under the bridge, which is also a restaurant, and also supplies gasoline to passing scrap pullers.

The police suspect that the owner of the car is involved in several cases, but no evidence has been found. Garbage pickers often talk in private:

"The car boss knows the people on the underworld."

"The car owner's wife is missing."

"There's a prostitute there, the owner of the car."

On a certain day, a flower blooms; On a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, a flower fell.

I can't remember when, a woman walked into the owner's hotel. On that night, she was a virgin in the first half of the night and a prostitute in the second half.

The next day, the owner hung a sign that read "There is a room inside" in front of the store.

Business has been booming ever since!

That woman is the Golden Pearl. People are born with a gap between rich and poor. Jin Zhu was born in a small mountain village called Jintai, a long time ago, the local gold mines were produced, and now there are only stones. Jin Zhu's impression of her mother is very vague, and she only remembers that her mother blushed her face, gritted her teeth, and stomped her feet, eager to stomp the earth to pieces. Her father was very kind to her, buying her baked cakes and a head rope.

When Jinzhu was 10 years old, her father said to her at the well at the entrance of the village, "Ni, come back immediately." ”

Since then, there has been no news, and it has been gone for many years.

Until she was 18 years old, after her mother died, someone told her: "Jin Zhu, your father may also be dead." ”

Jin Zhu was abducted and sold to Cangzhou by his neighbors.

Is there any other way for her to go other than prostitution, and if there must be, it is to die.

She had resisted, trying to escape. Her left eye is more affectionate than her right eye, because her right eye was smashed blind by the car owner. This does not affect her beauty, what woman is not an angel?

She was once young, once fantasized, once flew with wings.

She tolerated everything, gave up everything, lost everything, and began to be at the mercy of fate. One night, she spat viciously out the window and said, "Be a bad woman!" ”

From then on, Jin Zhu was no longer afraid of anything, it didn't matter who was gentle to her, who was rude to her, who was merciful to her, and who was contemptuous of her.

Jin Zhu gradually realized the fun of being a bad woman, full of ugliness, and at night, her ass rippled like a lotus leaf.

When there were no guests, the car owner tortured her. One day, she asked the car boss, "Where is your wife?" ”

The car owner patted his stomach and said with a smile: "Here." ”

Jin Zhu sometimes thinks of her father, and she can't forget the face of his father when he left.

Sometimes, when she was ashamed, she often thought that if her father knew in the grave that she had become a prostitute, he would surely die again.

Virtue is a box of rules and regulations, and inside it is packed with evil thoughts. The old bachelors who picked up garbage and the young people who lived nearby also came to Jinzhu with a cheeky face and bargained with her: "You want too expensive, girl, we are also neighbors, take care of it, cheaper." It's not easy to pick up garbage for two dollars, and you ......know how to go in the wind and rain."

Jin Zhu learned to lie. She teased the man to the point of horny, then pouted and said, "Not today, I'm menstruating." ”

She knew how to seduce and then leave, looking for a more advantageous position to raise her value. She was so cold and beautiful, as if she was wearing a flower crown and dragging a long skirt. Wherever she goes, there is danger. She makes the men drink, get drunk, make them jealous, and fight.

She is shiny, but she can't shine on her own staleness.

Some women who pick up garbage, kind-hearted sisters-in-law, often advise Jin Zhu: "Girl, don't do this, you can't get a good body when you are old, take advantage of your youth, find a good life!" ”

She fell in love with a driver.

The young man whistled, closed the car door, and walked past her window. She saw his beard, his eyes, his shoulders and hands. Yes, some men fall in love with him just by looking at him.

With love, there is heaven, even in hell, in hard days. Love turns the earth, makes the sun shine, and makes all things grow.

For her, the highest level of love is to have sex.

Jin Zhu said to the car boss, "Tell the young man that I will go to his room at night." ”

Night is coming.

The smile is a goblin, and the breasts are two goblins. She stood naked and a little shy in front of the young man.

Our civilization is the thin skirt worn by the prostitute, and now the skirt is also off.

She closed her eyes.

In the room, a fly lies on top of another fly, flies and has sex at the same time, climaxing in the air, who hears their screams.

After the climax, Jin Zhu lay in the arms of the young man like a cat. She used her fingers to draw circles on his chest.

"What's your name?" She asked.

"I'll come back next time, hehe."

After the young man finished speaking, he "snapped" a hundred-yuan bill on the buttocks of the gold beads.

Jin Zhu's face immediately turned red, she pouted, and said, "I don't want your money." ”

A week later, the young man whistled again. Jin Zhu hid his driver's license in his bra, and after making a fuss for a while, Jin Zhu said to the young man, "You take me away!" ”

The young man said, "No, this is not possible. ”

Two months later, Jin Zhu said to the young man, "You have to take me away, I haven't come this month, I'm pregnant." ”

The young man said, "You can't rely on me, who knows whose child you are pregnant." ”

Jin Zhu said, "It's your seed." ”

The young man said, "I don't care. ”

Jin Zhu said: "I will follow you in this life, and my belly is almost big." ”

The young man said, "You have enough to eat!" ”

Jin Zhu said, "Please." ”

The young man said, "You bitch. ”

Jin Zhu said, "I...... I love you. ”

The young man said, "Get out of ...... I'll beat you. ”

The words "I love you" are exchanged for "I beat you". He's so bad, and so good, Jin Zhu thought. She lay naked on the bed, waiting for the man she loved in the next room. The moonlight outside the window came in, but the knock on the door never sounded. In the middle of the night, Jin Zhu heard the sound of the car engine starting, and she immediately put on a blanket and rushed out, and sat on the passenger seat of the cab.

"It's not that easy to run, huh." Jin Zhu said to the young man.

"You go back and get dressed, and I'll take you away." The young man said.

"I'm stupid, get out of the car, get dressed, you're long gone."

"Okay then." The young man said viciously. He stepped on the clutch, geared, stepped on the accelerator, and the car slammed onto the road.

Early the next morning, a naked woman was walking on National Highway 127, and she entered the city, causing an immediate uproar.

The morning sun shone on her ass, back, and heels. She covered her face, her long hair couldn't cover her breasts, her nipples were black from the cold, her lower abdomen was flat, and under the black grass was the source of life.

We were born from there too.

What a strange spectacle between heaven and earth. A woman exudes a primal aura and walks in her own shadow in the early morning. The people on the street opened their mouths in astonishment.

All sorts of eyes shot at her like arrows, surprised, surprised, lewd, lewd, disdainful, contemptuous, pitiful. The changing state of mind, many onlookers also learned to question at that moment.

Who is she?

She is a woman, that is to say she is our mother, sister and daughter.

It's like a ritual. She walks in infinite time, in infinite space. Every step shakes people's hearts and shakes the world.

Tears slipped all the way, the wind rose, and this dusty woman was spotless.

Jin Zhu covered his face and walked through the whole city, returning to the car owner's hotel. She had a clear shoe print on her buttocks, and a vague child in her belly, all of which had been left by the young man. She loved him and didn't even know his name. Jin Zhu slept under the quilt for two days and two nights, and since then she has stopped smiling, that is to say, she is no longer beautiful. When a woman is no longer beautiful, she goes straight from spring to winter. Jin Zhu was completely depraved, and she gave the money to do it, moaning loudly and screaming without scruples, and her worth slowly dropped from 200 to 20 yuan.

Cats, three dogs, four pigs, five sheep, and six months, after seven months, Jin Zhu gave birth to a premature baby.

With a child, Jin Zhu's waist has become thicker, her breasts are drooping, her buttocks are falling, and her figure is bloated. Her customers are getting fewer and fewer, and the car owner is hating her more and more. One day, the boss of the car said to Jin Zhu, how can you eat so much, you rice bucket.

The next day, the owner kicked her and her "little thing" out of the hotel.

Jin Zhu built a house on the river embankment and made a living by picking up garbage. She said to her neighbors, I want to raise my child, I want him to go to school, I want him to be a big official. During the long rainy season in 1999, if someone stood on a bridge on the outskirts of Cangzhou with an umbrella, they would see a woman in a dilapidated house using a plastic basin to catch the rain leaking into the house, and her child crying in bed.

Jin Zhu sometimes went to the inn to prostitute herself.

On the evening of 30 July 2000, it was raining heavily. Five guests came to the inn of the car owner, one of whom was dying on a stretcher, and the other four were strangely dressed.

They asked for a table of dishes, ate and drank, and when they were full of wine and food, a woman came. The woman was fat, with prostitution written on her face, unemployment written on her hands, poverty written on her left buttocks, ignorance written on her right, and hunger in her stomach could be seen when she opened her mouth.

She is Jinzhu.

Jin Zhu sat down on a greasy stool and unceremoniously tore open a chicken leg: "Ouch, I'm hungry, I haven't opened meat for a long time, and I have no business." ”

A yellow-toothed man took Jin Zhu in his arms, rubbed her breasts, and said with a smile, "This time you will eat enough." ”

This man is Qiu Ba, and the people sitting next to him are Zhou Xingxing, Tiezui, and Tu Laoye, and there is a mountain tooth lying on the broken sofa in the corner.

Qiu Ba said: "Idle is idle, let's play a game." This game has a literary crepe name called Sitting and Not Messing, and the black word is called Playing Wave. It is to let a prostitute sit in the arms of a guest, teasing in every way, whoever is hard, who is punished with three glasses of wine. ”

The game begins.

Jin Zhu's small mouth is oily, and Jin Zhu's thighs are fat.

She sat in Zhou Xingxing's arms, slowly twisting her buttocks, her eyes were misty, and she was full of amorous feelings. Soon, she said, "It's hard, drink." ”

She sat in the arms of the iron mouth, swallowing the core of the snake, and her body moved up and down, gasping softly. After a while, she said, "This, drink the bar too!" ”

She sat in Tu Laoye's arms, slowly lifted her shirt, and pressed Tu Laoye's hand on the two lotus flowers, she closed her eyes, looking very intoxicated. After a while, she grinned and said, "Old fellow, I'm going to die!" ”

After a round, only Qiu Ba was not hard. Jin Zhu knocked Qiu Ba's head with a chicken bone and said, "Tonight, I slept with you, and the three of them are all big villains." ”

Qiu Bahaha laughed.

"Why is there a drunk," Jin Zhu saw the mountain tooth lying in the corner, she stood up, gnawed on the chicken bone, twisted her ass and walked over, "I can't let this go." ”

As she walked, her pace slowed and stopped.

Yamaya's eyes were half-open, and he struggled to raise his right hand.

Tears welled up in his eyes.

Jin Zhu grabbed her hair with both hands and stood there stunned, for a long time, she let out a heart-rending shout - big!

Yamaya is the father of Jinzhu!

One evening more than 20 years ago, Yamaya said to his daughter at the entrance of the village called Jintai Village, "I'll be back soon."

More than 20 years later, he witnessed the life of a prostitute, and this prostitute was his daughter.

This dying man struggled to speak with a lot of staccato and intermittent, and we are really not in the mood to truly recount the last words that were out of breath, so I will rephrase them in full here. Before he died, he explained one thing to Zhou Xingxing and Tu Laoye: You go to Hong'an County, there is a mulberry forest in the west of the city, you tie a red silk scarf to the thickest tree, and there are things I buried under the tree, some money, and you give half of it to Jinzhu. The next day, you go to Xiaojing Hutong in the east of the city, which is the dead end, and a man will come up from under the ground, and he will take you to Gao Fei.

We won't have a chance to talk about car owners anymore. About the day after Shan Ya's death, a woman dressed in a white filial piety dress entered the hotel in the middle of the night, and when she came out, the owner of the car was lying naked on the bed with a big hole in her throat.
