Chapter 96: Grass on the Wall
The sky was dark, and the dark clouds were very low.
At this time, it was already late at night, and there were hardly any people on the street. Occasionally, a car passed by, bringing up a fishy mud with it.
It's going to rain.
There was a click, and a flash of lightning struck the sky, and soon, thunder rumbled from the sky.
Song Shanmei was alone, sitting in front of the cash register in the pharmacy, holding her chin and looking out the window.
It's a pharmacy located on the corner of a small T-junction, not bustling, but not bad. Song Shanmei works part-time here and works night shifts.
Every day from 6 o'clock to 12 o'clock in the evening, I worked a total of 6 hours, which was not too tiring, but the salary was not much, only 500 a month.
However, there were not many guests in the evening, and Song Shanmei had plenty of time to review her homework. In this way, even if she works every day, the course will not fall behind.
On the street, the street lamps emitted a dim glow, illuminating the surroundings. Occasionally, one or two people walked by, and they hurriedly disappeared into the opposite corner.
Looking at the hurried pace of the occasional passers-by, Song Shanmei was slightly worried.
It's going to rain soon, right?
Hey, when I came out, I didn't have an umbrella, but what should I do? If you get sick in the rain, you have to spend money again!
Song Shanmei raised her wrist and looked at the watch on her wrist. The pointer is already pointing to eleven o'clock. In another hour, you'll be off work.
Song Sun-mi is a medical student, and she is in her fifth year this year, so it's time to graduate. But Song Shanmei is a little entangled in finding a job after graduation or continuing her studies.
Song Shanmei's family conditions are not good, which can be described as poverty; The father is disabled at work and cannot do heavy work; Relying only on his mother to sweep the streets, it is difficult to maintain the family's livelihood.
Song Shanmei also has a younger sister, Song Suyan, who has just been admitted to university; It's time for the family to use the money.
Song Shanmei should have graduated early to find a job to help her family. However, her major is clinical medicine, and she has no future after graduating from the bachelor's degree.
Several teachers also persuaded her bitterly, saying that they could apply for her to be sent to graduate school, and if it went well, she would be able to work in two years at the earliest.
When a graduate student comes out, it is always easier to find a job and earn more than an undergraduate.
Song Shanmei hesitated for a long time, and a few days ago, she finally discussed this matter with her mother.
When her mother heard that she could be guaranteed a research institute, she was full of joy and strongly encouraged her to continue her studies, saying: "Shanmei, don't worry, don't worry about the family, your father and I are fine, and we can take care of ourselves." ”
"You and Suyan are both good children, you have to go to school hard to be worthy of your parents. Mom is still waiting for you, learn it, earn money to honor our old couple! ”
"Listen, if you are disobedient and don't study hard in graduate school, be careful that your father and I don't let you enter the house!"
"Also, you don't have to worry about money, Mom will find a way! It can also make the living suffocate to death by urine! ”
Song Shanmei listened, choked up for a long time, and couldn't speak.
She secretly vowed that she must study hard, live up to the expectations of her teachers and parents, and then honor her parents when she completes her studies!
In the past two years, I had to be unfilial and do two more years of moths.
Fortunately, since Song Shanmei was a freshman year, she has been doing odd jobs everywhere, saving on food and drink, and squeezing out time to study hard, and she can get a scholarship every year, so there is no problem with living expenses.
As for tuition, you can borrow as much as you can on student loans, and you can think of ways to do the rest. If you can't do it, you can only spend some of your parents' hard-earned money, or rely on your parents to pull down your face and borrow from a bunch of poor relatives.
Thinking of this, Song Shanmei gritted her teeth and made up her mind. I still have to continue to learn.
Outside, it was getting darker, and there was a constant sound of lightning and rumbling thunder.
Finally twelve o'clock.
Song Shanmei hurriedly turned off the lights in the pharmacy, pulled down the roller shutter with a bang, and locked it.
The rain soon fell. crackled, hitting Song Shanmei's body, wetting her thin clothes. Song Shanmei put on her coat and rushed into the rain.
The school is not far from the pharmacy where she works part-time, and you can get there by running three stops.
Song Shanmei quickened her pace.
Lights and shadows.
In the dim light, Song Shanmei saw that at the corner of the street, two black shadows were entangled with each other, and it was difficult to distinguish in the heavy rain.
It was two men, and they couldn't see their appearances clearly, but they could only vaguely see that one was taller and the other was thinner.
The tall one, who is very agile and athletic, slams the opponent's vital points with his fists, and slashes several times to grab the blade; And the thin one, but very flexible, holding the murder weapon, the knife is windy, and the wind is not lost at all.
The sword light and fist shadow, Song Shanmei was frightened, and she didn't dare to make a sound.
As for his hand, he involuntarily touched his pocket and took out a dagger with trembling.
Song Shanmei is a weak girl, and she works the night shift at the pharmacy and has to walk at night every day, so she brought a dagger to defend herself.
Rao is like this, Song Shanmei's heart is still beating wildly. She quietly took out her mobile phone and dialed it several times, but because her hands were shaking badly and the rain was heavy, all the mobile phone screens were wet, and she couldn't dial it out smoothly for half a day.
The more this is the case, the more anxious and nervous Song Shanmei becomes.
When I tried again, the phone with the lowest battery turned off without a sound.
Song Shanmei's heart was beating in a hurry, she raised her head and looked in the direction of the fight between the two on the corner of the street.
The tall man, Rao is good at fists and feet, and he is also an invincible blade with both fists, and in the grappling, he was stabbed several times in his arms and body.
Song Shanmei knew that if she continued like this, she would definitely die.
She didn't know what she was thinking, but she held the dagger and shouted, "The police are here!" ”
The two men who were inseparable from each other seemed to be startled by the sudden sound, and soon the thin figure fled, while the other, leaning crookedly against the wall, was still going to chase him.
Song Shanmei braved the rain and put on her coat, ran over from the hiding place and helped the man up.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Song Shanmei, but he fell to the ground.
"Hey, wake up!" Song Sun-mi shouted.
The rain fell from the sky and poured down on the man's handsome face, and the dim light shone on his face, making him look extremely embarrassed and weak.
"Anyone? Come on, help~~~~" Song Shanmei shouted loudly, pinching the man's middle man, trying to wake him up.
The man slumped to the ground, not the slightest reaction. The snow-white shirt on his body was soaked with blood, and he looked extremely terrifying.
Song Shanmei quickly checked the man's injuries, probably because of resisting with both arms, the main wounds were concentrated on both arms, and the blood flowed; There were also injuries on the shoulders and abdomen, and the snow-white shirt was dyed red.
The man had fainted.
If he is left to bleed, the person will die of blood loss.
