Chapter 44: Talking in the Rain

In the evening, a light rain fell in the sky, dripping on the stone steps in front of the door, and there was a rumbling sound in the gray sky overhead. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zheng Gang turned off the TV, looked at the light rain outside the window, and lit a cigarette.

In fact, in the end, whether it was right or wrong for him to reject that child Zheng Gang himself was not very clear in his heart, maybe that child really needed his help, but he was no longer his former self.

Zheng Gang took a sharp breath and slowly exhaled the smoke, the most terrifying thing in this world is time, it can dilute everything, and it can also wash away everything.

Now yourself. Zheng Gang knew too well that since then, he had undoubtedly died, drifting with the flow in the real sense, not knowing what to do, for him all the meaning of life had disappeared, leaving nothing.

Now that even his only "son" is dead, dead in front of him, Zheng Gang feels that this is really a kind of sadness, as if fate has a merciless mockery of him, mocking him for the sadness that even ordinary people can't touch.

In fact, Zheng Gang has almost no feelings for Zheng Wei, he has very little time with him, almost all of them are Wei Yi who has always taken him, this child has almost no one to care about since he was a child, and he has no feelings for himself, and then when he was seven years old, Zheng Gang completely disappeared from his life.

But now that he heard the news that he was dead, Zheng Gang's heart still twitched fiercely, after all, the child had his own blood flowing from his body, fresh, and with every beat of his heart sent to his whole body, it was hot.

"I'm sorry for him." Zheng Gang leaned back in his chair, his eyes were hazy with tears, and he seemed to understand that his absurd life was ultimately blamed on his own cowardice, how can such a cold world be defined as kindness?

"Yo, boss, I didn't watch TV today." Someone walked into the store and saw Zheng Gang lying on a chair, smoking with his eyes closed, as if he was about to fall asleep, "Come and pack cigarettes." ”

"Why didn't you kid go out tonight?" Zheng Gang didn't open his eyes, his voice was very familiar, he was a regular customer in the store, if Zhang Weiyong was still here at this time, he would be able to recognize that this was the gangster leader.

"It rained, and the brethren went home." The gangster leader took the pack of cigarettes handed over by Zheng Gang, took out one and lit it, "Come and chat with you to relieve your boredom." ”

Zheng Gang smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, "Everyone has gone home, you should go back quickly, what time are you wasting with me here?" ”

The gangster leader snorted and laughed, "Boss, are you still joking with me?" It's not that you don't know, the two old ones in the family have already run away, where can I go? ”

"Then there has to be a home to go back to, right?"

"Home?" The gangster leader took a cigarette in his mouth, snorted coldly and shook his head.

Zheng Gang glanced at the gangster, he didn't react, his expression seemed to freeze, and he sat on the chair with his waist half-bent, looking like a ruffian.

"That's right, there really isn't much of a home like ours." Zheng Gang twisted his body and withdrew his gaze so that he could lie down more comfortably.

"Reliable boss." The gangster leader's voice was raised: "But boss, why do you stay in this shabby shop?" Are you homeless too? ”

"Of course, just like you." Zheng Gang sighed, "But there is still someone here to wait, and I haven't waited yet, and I guess I can't wait." ”

"That's a bit sour." The thug turned his head to look at Zheng Gang, "Tell me, what's going on?" Male or female? Old and young? ”

"Woman, my ex-wife." Zheng Gang seems to have a better impression of such a ruffian, probably because of his career back then, but now he only wants to deal with this kind of person.

"Divorced? Do you regret it? The thug was a little curious, and boldly guessed.

"Almost, I committed an accident at the time." Zheng Gang made a look, "Then she got divorced, she arrived in this city, and I opened a store here, purely to try my luck and see if I might meet her." ”

"Then why don't you just go to her?" The gangster couldn't help but ask, "It's not long before I look for her directly, and it will be solved after a little communication." ”

Zheng Gang laughed, after all, he was only a high school student, and his thoughts were very simple and simple, but what he said made sense, and Zheng Gang did not answer.

Seeing that Zheng Gang didn't answer, the gangster leader was embarrassed to continue to ask, scratching his hair awkwardly, not knowing how to start the topic below, and the two of them sat silently in the small convenience store, listening to the sound of the rain hitting the stone bricks.

In the end, it was Zheng Gang who broke the silence, "Actually, I am quite envious of your students, and you can do whatever you want." ”

"We?" The thug laughed, "We're basically not students." We're street rats, the kind of people everyone shouts and beats, boss, you think too much. ”

"No. You see that you didn't actually do anything bad, you just didn't study, should you be spurned? ”

"Isn't it?" The thug laughed, "Boss, what can we do if we don't study at our age, so it's understandable that they think we're riffraff, in fact, we think so we do." ”

He sighed as he spoke, "Actually, we also want to study hard, who wouldn't want to?" But I don't even have a place to go back, so what are I talking about? If you can go to high school, you can almost scrape together the tuition fees, and if you are expelled, you can save a lot of money. ”

"If everyone can study in school openly and enjoy fair treatment, who wants to be a ruffian?"

Zheng Gang's heart moved slightly, yes, they are the same as themselves, they all have the so-called involuntary body, right? If everyone could be treated relatively fairly from birth, would there still be so-called darkness in this world? Will there still be so many people complaining? Will there still be their own tragedy, will there still be, innocent deaths?

He suddenly remembered the last line he said in Stephen Chow's "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er", he said to the emperor, "If you are really a virtuous monarch, the country and the people are safe, and the ghost is willing to be a beggar." ”

"Boss," the thug suddenly became serious, interrupting Zheng Gang's thoughts, as if he had noticed something, "Look out the window, they look like they should be looking for you." ”

Zheng Gang looked out of the glass window, dozens of people were holding flashlights, as if they had pierced the rain in the alley, and the rumbling thunder overhead crossed them, accompanied by lightning illuminating their fierce faces.
