"I set up a fund," Hetu played with his phone, don't think he's a saint who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, this kid plays with the computer very smoothly. He opened his photo album and showed it to me, and it was full of smiling faces of children, who were supposed to be from the countryside in terms of their dress and grooming, their skin was rough and dark, but their smiles were so innocent.

"Ninety percent of the money I earn every month will be put into this fund," Hetu said: "The master said that Taoist priests do not make a fortune, and this money is earned by us leaking the heavenly opportunity, and I will lose my life if I use it, and I will use it to help people who are more in need than me, and it will be regarded as accumulating some virtue." This fund is now dedicated to helping children in poor mountainous areas, and there are special people to take care of them, and I can't remember how many such children there are. ”

"You'll be rewarded." I said, "You are a good person, just like your master, why haven't you thought about starting a family?" ”

He shook his head and said: "No, I haven't figured out where I will settle down in the future, although Hong Kong is good, but it is not my home after all, I want to wait until the right time to rebuild a few rooms in the master's old house, drink tea every day, read books, maybe that is the life I want." ”

"Tell me about the rest of the story." I know that his time is precious, and it is rare to find time to see him, and I took a notebook and recorded it carefully. Later, it wasn't that there would be a lot less bizarre things in our time, but people's hearts had changed, Hetu said, now ghosts can't wait to avoid people when they see them, I asked him why? He said that a whole team would come at every turn to level the land and tear down the grave, are you afraid? The dead are not allowed to live in peace, and the anger on those people is so heavy that even ghosts have to take a detour. It's a joke, but it also touches my heart.

After returning from the Longshan Ancient Tomb, the fat man stayed in Wulipu for a few days and then left, Cha Wenbin said that he was going to the Northeast for a while, and it would be more appropriate to go directly to meet over there when the time came. At that time, it was relatively stable, very few people would come to find trouble, and enjoyed the long-lost family fun, that is, at the turn of spring and summer in 1985, Cha Wenbin stepped on the train to the north.

In early summer, the north is much cooler than the south, and you have to wear a jacket in the morning and evening, especially in places like Savagen, so Cha Wenbin brings a lot of salutes. He and the fat man agreed to meet at the train station, this time there was no Ye Huan, only themselves, about a lot of memories were really lost like that, the kind of medicine that Ye Huan gave could make people forget something, including making them forget themselves.

After half a year of absence, I returned to a familiar place again, and the remote station did not even have a shed, but now it is busy. It is said that a coal mine was discovered nearby, and when the country was building it in earnest, the huge energy demand suddenly made it a high-profile gold rush mecca.

There are a lot of people coming and going, and the southerners with active brains are ready to pick a nearby place to build a shed and start making a living, so as soon as he got out of the car, Cha Wenbin was mistaken for a gold pander, and he was almost not pulled into the roadside recruitment team.

The fat man's car was a little later than him, Cha Wenbin found a stall on the spot and asked for a bowl of noodles, the stall owner was a Sichuan boy, willing to give spicy and willing to give oil, and sprinkled with a layer of boiled oil residue on top, Cha Wenbin, who had been hungry all day, tasted simply delicious in the world. When I was eating noodles, I only cared about the bowl, and when I was about to settle the bill, I touched my whole body, hey, I don't know where my Qiankun bag went!

When he went out this time, Cha Wenbin specially asked Concubine Yu to make a bag of labor cloth, which contained the dry food trays along the way, and the Qiankun bag, which was obviously on the edge of the table when he ate noodles just now, why did it disappear now?

At this time, the young man from the noodle stall came over and said, "Boss, why didn't you ignore me when I blinked at you so many times just now?" ”

"I didn't pay attention." Cha Wenbin looked at his expression and immediately understood, estimating that he was a thief.

"You have to understand," the young man picked up Cha Wenbin's noodle bowl and said, "It's not easy for a foreigner to eat here, and I don't dare to offend those hooligans easily, if I really want to provoke them, I don't have to open this noodle restaurant." Those people are all in a group, all I can do is remind you that you don't have to pay for this bowl of noodles today, and it's not easy to go out. ”

With this, Cha Wenbin still met a good person today, so he quickly got up and drove out, but among the people who came and went outside, which face was the one who stole his burden? It doesn't matter if he really wants to lose some money, but the guy who eats by himself is all in that bag, Cha Wenbin was anxious at this time, and turned back to the guy and asked: "Boss, let me ask you, what are the names of those people and where do they live?" ”

"I guess your accent is Southerner, right?" He said: "Forget it, if you lose it, you will lose it, go outside to find a job, there is a shortage of people in the mine here, you can manage three meals a day, and there is a place to live, you can't be hungry, I advise you not to mess with those people, someone fought with them a while ago and almost didn't die." ”

Cha Wenbin said: "Then no one cares? ”

"Tube?" Xiao Huo'er smiled: "Look at the crowds of people outside, everyone's eyes only have money now, this is remote, there is not even a police station, the only few militia members have formed a patrol team, and the task is mainly in the mine to prevent people from stealing coal." Those individuals heard that they were all the sons and daughters of railway workers, and one grew up in a big house, and used to be engaged in picking up trains and unloading goods, but now that so many sheep have come, they have changed to wool. I know so much, don't say I said it when you go out, it's not easy for me to do a little business. ”

"It turns out that in their eyes, we are sheep...... "Cha Wenbin lost the burden, it was absolutely impossible, he turned around and went out to find it, the canvas bag was army green, and the concubine was skillful, and she embroidered a camellia on it, which was very easy to identify. He thought that the guys might not go far, they would definitely be around in all directions, so they followed the flow of people all the way to find it.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Cha Wenbin had been looking aimlessly for an afternoon, and suddenly several people came over with a smile, one of whom was still holding his canvas bag in his hand. When he saw the group, the group also saw him, and the one with the bag was about to leave, when he was stopped by another leader, and the defiant look in his eyes was self-evident.

"Give me back what I have." Cha Wenbin said: "You can take the money, and keep the rest." ”

"What if you don't give it?" The man said to a few people around him: "Brothers, take it down for me, and search for anything else on this coward." ”

The conflict broke out like this, Cha Wenbin never fought with anyone, but he fought that day, but how could he fight the gang of hooligans who were too strong to fight. In fact, they were killing chickens to show the monkeys, because the onlookers had already surrounded the three layers inside and outside, and they were going to plant flags on this land, and they were planning to take Cha Wenbin, a foreigner, today.

Cha Wenbin, who was lying on the ground, was kicked by several people in turn, but his hand kept dragging the person holding the bag, which attracted even more crazy beatings. The people who watched the excitement dared not speak out, many of them knew the origin of that group of people, and they couldn't afford to provoke us, so they couldn't hide?

Besides, the scene at three o'clock was also when the fat man got off the train, and he said that he would meet on the platform, but there was no trace of Cha Wenbin, and he saw a group of people talking about something not far away, and he also followed over to take a look. finally squeezed in half of his body, only to see a person lying on the ground curled up, with shoe prints everywhere on his body, it turned out that someone was fighting. Just as he was about to leave, the fat man felt that the figure was a little familiar, and when he saw that the man was still holding a Qiankun bag in his hand.

"Cha Ye ......"

To say that Cha Wenbin is also a hard bone, he refused to let go when he was beaten like that, and in the end, the gang of hooligans was probably tired, and finally remembered to open the backpack to see what was in it to make this person so desperate. Unexpectedly, there was a lot of incense candles and paper money inside, and the gang suddenly felt unlucky, and after finding the money inside, they threw down the Qiankun bag, and Cha Wenbin was willing to let go.

Just got off the train and was sent to the hospital, after some examination, fortunately, it was all skin trauma, no bones and internal organs were injured, but how could this blue nose and swollen face make the fat man swallow this breath, and he immediately went to take revenge after arranging for Cha Wenbin to live in the hospital. Cha Wenbin was powerless to stop it, he wanted to stop it, but how could the fat man still listen to him at this time?

At that time, China, especially in the three northeastern provinces, had many children's compounds. Most of the workers of state-owned enterprises live in a compound, and the children in the compound have become the best partners, and each compound has its own child king, and it is common for the compound to fight each other. Qiu Dawei was the one who beat Cha Wenbin, and he had a group of brothers in their early twenties, who did not enter the working class like their fathers, but turned around and did some illegal things. Qiu Dawei is ruthless, he unified the entire compound when he was a teenager, and he was picking quarrels and provoking trouble outside all day long, and they found that being a worker was far less fast than getting money by train, and now that there is a coal mine, it is a gold mountain in their eyes. The coal on the train wagon is an ATM, and when it is not departing, it will do some things that are easy to do with the sheep, and those who make a living here have to pay them protection money, as if they are local tyrants.

This kind of gangster gang of the new generation is unique to that era, they are neither as moral as the older generation, nor are they as laundering and running companies as those who came after.
