Suddenly waking up from a nightmare, as if reborn, I subconsciously kicked one of my legs away from the chair next to me, causing the guy who was sleeping on it to startle.

"What the hell are you doing?"

I stood up and looked at the guy with an angry look on his face, and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry."

This is the time when the sleepiest and most tiring time of an all-night stay in an Internet café is the time when there are a few random people sleeping in front of almost every row of computers.

I'm one of them.

The guy next to me didn't feel embarrassed when he saw that I apologized, and muttered back to his chair to continue sleeping.

At 3:21 a.m., the time displayed on the computer in front of me reminded me that I still had something to do during the day.

Recently, I am a little short of money, and it is almost the end of the year, so I want to go back to my hometown during the Spring Festival and buy more New Year's goods for my mother.

Originally, I wrote down everything I should buy, but I rummaged through all the pockets on my body, only to find that my phone had been stolen.

New Year's Pass, New Year's Pass, at this time, there are a lot of thieves, and I actually got my idea, which is really tired and crooked.

I packed up the things on the table and walked quickly downstairs to the Internet café, and came to the bar, where the little sister of the cashier in the bar was still doing a live broadcast, chatting happily.

Tapping on the table to get her attention, she glanced at me and quickly paused the live broadcast.

"Brother Yan, what's wrong?"

"You help me call the fifth brother, saying that my mobile phone has been stolen, and it is better to let the fool send it back before dawn."

"Huh? When did you come in, Brother Yan, don't worry, I'll help you find out the surveillance. "My little sister is very enthusiastic, but I don't need to know who stole it, I just want to get my phone back as soon as possible and don't delay the daytime.

I have been in this Internet café for more than half a year, the boss is good, everyone calls him the fifth brother, and the social relationship is quite hard, but the Internet café still happens from time to time, and I don't have any other skills, so I help look at the store at night and solve some disputes.

The regulars in the Internet café know me and know what kind of food I eat, so they don't dare to make trouble when I am there.

I forgot to introduce myself: my name is Yancheng, I am nineteen years old, graduated from junior high school, studied in high school for a year, and dropped out.

I don't study anymore because my family is poor and can't provide me with education, it's my personal reasons, my body is one thing, and I'm not interested in cultural classes on the other.

Anyway, if you don't read, you won't read, and if you can finish junior high school, you can count as cultural people.

The little sister called me Brother Yan, it's not her fault, there are no more than five fingers in this world who know that I am a woman, and three years ago my father was gone, and one is missing.

As for why I am like this, it is a sad past.

At that time in '97, before I existed, my brother was six years old, just in time for the autumn harvest in the village, and the adults were all working in the fields, and there were some children left in the village who couldn't get off the ground or babbled.

At my brother's age, there were no adults watching him for a long time, so he and a few friends from the village went to the fish pond to fish.

In the evening, other people's children went back, but I couldn't see my brother's shadow.

Mom and Dad were in a hurry, so they mobilized the whole village to go to the fish pond to fish for people, but the water was drained and I didn't see my brother, so he disappeared.

Later, I heard that a car was passing by in the city that day, and everyone wondered if it was abducted by human traffickers and sold to other places.

The police in the city came to the house to investigate, recorded the clothes that my brother was wearing that day, and left with only two photos, and finally left only one sentence, asking my parents to wait for news.

This is more than 20 years, and it is still waiting today.

After my brother disappeared, my mother got dementia, which was called so at the time, but now I think it should be depression.

The old man in the village pointed out to my father that he needed to have a child, and I was born in less than two years.

Don't say that my mother got a little better because of my birth disease, but she confused me with my brother, so my name is exactly the same as my brother's, and the gender is different.

The friends who grew up together in the village didn't know that I was a woman, and I was crawling around in the boys since I was a child, because I was weaker than them, so I was always bullied, forcing myself to become stronger, but I didn't expect to become the child king of the village in the end.

Hey~ Actually, there's nothing to complain about, what about men and women, I think I've lived a very fulfilling life in the past 19 years.

Every few days, he was either stabbed or buried alive, and he also experienced chopping hands and feet. Dreams are dreams, except for lack of sleep, there is nothing wrong with it, and the pressure in my heart is a little greater, and now it seems that I am starting to adapt.

"Brother Yan..." The little sister at the bar interrupted my thoughts, and when I looked up, I saw her pointing out the door of the Internet café.

A small, lewd man grinned at me.

Seeing that this guy was not a good bird, I pushed the door out with my hands in my pockets.

"Dude, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were the fifth brother's person, and the things were returned to you." As he spoke, the lewd man delivered my phone to him.

"Didn't touch what's inside?"

"No~~No~~ I haven't had time to make a move, you found out quickly enough, and it's hard to say if it's too late."

I took my phone back and opened it to look at it, but it really hadn't been touched.

"Don't do it here in the future, you won't have any good fruit to eat if you cause trouble for the boss."

"I know, I know, we are also a kind of fate." The lewd man reached out and pushed my shoulder, and I looked down at him, perhaps seeing that I was unfriendly, this guy didn't dare to say anything more, and left in a hurry.

In the early morning, the breakfast stalls in front of the Internet café are all set up, steaming soy milk, fried fried fritters that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these are my favorites.

While eating, I counted the job that Lao Liang gave me to contact.

Lao Liang is a warm-hearted person, he just retired from our police station last year, and he has been a police officer all his life.

Lao Liang can be regarded as an old man, he has a seventeen-year-old son who is in high school, he is tall and strong, but unfortunately he is surprisingly small.

A few months ago, I rescued him from the hands of four thugs, and I was grateful and worshipped, because of this, I still lived in their house for half a month, and then I really couldn't stand the problem of their house sleeping with the lights off at ten o'clock, so I resolutely returned to the Internet café.

Lao Liang is very worried about my future, and always thinks about finding me a serious job, what is 8 in the morning and 5 in the morning, two days off a week, in fact, I don't expect much, even if people like me work hard, I am afraid that the conditions will not allow it.

I rarely sleep because of nightmares that plague me all year round, and it's good to be able to get four or five hours a day. Anyone who looks at my face and dark circles will think that I am the kind of teenager who is addicted to the Internet, and if I talk about work or not, few bosses will be willing to hire someone like me.

However, this time Lao Liang told me in advance that the working hours do not need to be fixed, and there may be a place to live after negotiating a lot of money.
