Li Jing thought all the way, casually asked someone to know the direction to the city center, understanding the situation is only the first step, and then you need to find a way to survive is an urgent problem, at least a full meal is the most important thing.

Walk along the main road, and so on to the city center is only 10 o'clock in the morning, about less than two hours to walk, at this time Shanghai Tang may be the most prosperous place in the country, men's suits and leather shoes, women cheongsam, the street cars come and go, crowds of people, the surrounding entertainment venues are everywhere, what the rich, the metropolis, Colombia and a series of billboards, colorful hanging on both sides of the street, casinos, smoke houses, hotels are everything, a prosperous scene.

Li Jing stood at the intersection in a daze and watched for more than ten minutes, not that he had never seen a more prosperous one, but the unique breath of this era came to his face, so that he had to stay in place to look up and feel, this is a feeling that cannot be described in words, the confusion of time, the essence of history, the yearning of predecessors, this qiē is in front of him, but it seems so far away, as if he waved his hand like a dream.

Didi~~

"Hey! Boy, looking for death? I don't care about you! ”

The owner of a black sedan woke up Li Jing, not caring about the owner's swearing, Li Jing dodged and let go of the old antique.

The toad-like body of the car, the beeping horn, and the scolding owner rushed all the way, leaving behind a bill that fell in the wind. Ticket.

"Huh?"

Li Jing bent down and picked up this ticket that I don't know the denomination or the ability to buy, and send it away to ask for food? It's okay, at least the dinner should be over, Li Jing smiled slightly, he didn't care about the so-called dignity at all, the group of people who talked about dignity were all full and had nothing to do, if he threw away the tickets in his hand, Li Jing felt that it was really stupid. Compare.

"10 bucks?"

It's a lot, I remember that Xingzi spent all this money to buy "Rulai Shenzhang" when he was a child, and it should be no problem to have a meal, and the monthly rent of the charter wife seems to be only 10 yuan, and maybe you can deal with it for a few days if you save money.

Shaking his head, Li Jing wanted to pack up the money but found that he didn't even have a pocket, and the pants were only worn when he was sleeping, and there were no pockets at all.

"Oh, I don't believe it anymore, false crossings can fall on Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, and he can't be a person,."

scolded a few words in a row, Li Jing cheered himself up, at this time he had no relatives and no long things, this was already to the point of exhaustion, it was better to rely on others than on himself, the original part-time job was to be able to be self-reliant, no longer cheating on the old, and now all the back roads have been blocked, and the net worth is a mess.

Everything has to start from scratch, nothing to say.

Come on, come on, starve to death is death, support death is also death, but the difference is whether you live in vain or not.

With ten yuan in hand, Li Jing left this street corner with a step, there was no way out, so let's be self-reliant.

Walking on the street, Li Jing did not take money to eat, nor did he take money to buy clothes, but found a store, directly spent two yuan to buy a pair of chess, and then exchanged the rest of the money into a piece, out of the store, Li Jing always found a good street corner when he came.

This is a gathering place for coolies, there are a lot of people, squatting on the ground to smoke, eating, lying on the stomach, Li Jing found a clean ground next to him, sat cross-legged on the ground, and took out the chess and set it up.

"Playing chess, one dollar for a game, two dollars for losing, hurry up, double the money, don't wait for anyone when it's outdated"

A shout, the surrounding coolies have looked over, chess is not a difficult job, not proficient in playing but can always say that it can play, plus gambling, can't enter the casino coolies are not much entertainment, and one or two pieces are not a break in the bones, after a while, Li Jing is surrounded by a crowd, each time can only be one person, more or onlookers to join in the fun.

Li Jing has few other abilities, playing chess and playing games can be regarded as a small master, and the people in the game are not very old at this time, after all, it is impossible for coolies to have old people, which is also the reason why Li Jing is optimistic about this place.

"Hey! You lose, haha, give money, give money. "The coolie guy couldn't find North, not because of two dollars, but because of gambling. Bo fun.

"Hey, it's really back, I can obviously win, it's wrong, it's wrong." Li Jing shook his head with emotion, and quickly took out two dollars and handed them to the coolie guy.

Li Jing was a little frustrated, "Okay, the account is settled, who will come next?" ”

"I'll do one more game, one more game"

"Let's go, you can play in line, one person, one game."

"I'm coming, I'm coming"

"Don't rob anyone, I'll come"

The coolie guy still wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but unfortunately the crowd around him didn't agree, he could not only play, but also make money, how could such a good thing be monopolized by one person, everyone was gossiping for the rankings, Li Jing smiled slightly, it seems that he can find a hotel to live in tonight.

Time passed, the chess game continued, Li Jing lost less and won more, and kept getting money in and out of a rag he found, and he didn't care about eating at noon, and he played until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and Li Jing was ready to close the stall.

"Tomorrow, I'll come back tomorrow, let's get back to playing."

Waving his hand is a farewell, and sending away a few coolies who still want to entangle, Li Jing took the chess and wallet and began to leave, and it will be dark if he plays again, not only is it not safe, but he also has some things to deal with.

I spent a few dollars to buy a ready-to-wear store, and I found an ordinary hotel to open a room, and bought some food casually, Li Jing was ready to take it back to the hotel to eat again, and sat cross-legged for a whole day, his legs were numb and almost unconscious, plus he hadn't eaten all day, and it was okay to meet a robbery at night at all, so it was better to go back to the hotel as soon as possible to rest.

After dinner, Li Jing counted today's harvest, in addition to the money for buying clothes and staying in a hotel, there are still 68 yuan left in his hand, that is to say, he has earned almost seventy or eighty yuan this day, but unfortunately, this chess game can be fun and pass the time, but it is far from a long-term job, people who lose money will always understand, and they don't want to play anymore, maybe this place will not take a few days to take the bait again, and then they will have to change places, they are all poor coolies, it is okay to play once or twice, and after a long time, you can't count on it at all.
