Chapter 7: Talking to Strangers
The tossing time is not long, but it is enough for Xiaoyu to start thinking about life: if you don't have the ability, you can only do coolies, and if you don't have a good diploma, you can only do something that ordinary people do. Why is it so difficult to survive, live, eat and sleep so simply?
The days pass quietly, although happiness is a day, and unhappiness is also a day, but people's spiritual energy cannot be atrophied. If you don't go home for a day, you will miss more and more homework, and the whispering is like boiling hot in a hot pot.
Walking on the road casually, like a sun-dried cabbage, the spacious school gate, the beautiful scenery, the breath of hope floating in the sky, and the dream that is ready to move, this is the place she has been looking forward to since she was a child, and the current situation makes her dare not think about it.
Unintentionally visiting the campus, unable to envy the college students, she had no intention of walking on the campus, and unconsciously walked to the wide track and field field, there were no more or no fewer people on the field, some played basketball, some ran in the morning, and some walked, she chose a shady place covered by a big tree to sit down, while watching the ball game, while thinking about the next journey.
With a "bang", a basketball flew next to Xiaoyu's feet, but she didn't notice it, and continued to fight in her own thinking.
"Little beauty, please throw the basketball over." screamed a few times, but didn't see her react, Xiang Yang had no choice but to run over to pick up the ball, and shook his right hand in front of her eyes, "Are you watching the ball game fascinating, or are you deserting?" Small, small, small......"
Xiaoyu stood up rudely and said embarrassedly, "Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you talking, I'm really embarrassed." ”
"Needless to say, I'm sorry, but you're not obligated to help me pick up the ball." Xiang Yang sent her a thick smile before leaving.
This smile made Xiao Yu feel a touch of warmth, and for the first time found that a smile has such a magical magic, so he took out a notebook in his backpack and wrote: Smile warms people's hearts, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed.
"What are you writing about?" A boy walked up and asked.
Seeing that it was another tall boy, he covered the words in a hurry, and his face turned red: "I didn't write anything, but I recorded a sentence." ”
Xu Feng couldn't help but smile and looked at the dark and thin little girl carefully: "Blush, little brat, did you graduate from elementary school?" ”
"I'm not a little kid, if there are no accidents, I'll be in my first year of high school." Xiao Yu half-covered his eyes, afraid that his tears would not be angry.
"Ahh You don't look like a high school student, at most you're in your first year of junior high school. My name is Xu Feng and I am a college student here. Xu Feng asked curiously, "What happened to you?" It stands to reason that you should be in the classroom, not hanging around! ”
"My name is Xiaoyu, what do you think a person of my size can do? I don't pick, I can support myself. Xiao Yu said disheartenedly, "Many of us people my age are also out earning money, why don't others want me when I go to find trouble?" ”
After listening to her explanation, Xu Feng asked: "Why are you in a hurry to work, are your parents in the city?" You're so young, you can't do anything. Listen to the advice of the eldest brother, hurry home to study, if you don't study these years, you have no future. ”
When she heard the words "Mom and Dad", tears poured out like a flood, Xiao Yu covered her face with her hands, she couldn't hold back her sobs, she wanted to speak but couldn't open her mouth. It turned out that he was not so strong and indestructible.
Hearing this suppressed crying, Xu Feng's heart softened: "Don't cry, don't cry!" If you have something unspeakable, you might as well say it, maybe I can give you an idea, even if I can't help, it can make you feel better. ”
After crying for a while, Xiao Yu tried hard to calm down the beating emotions, thinking that college students are always more reliable than social people, at this time, I don't believe him, and there is no way, wipe away my tears: "Brother Xu Feng, I think the most important thing now is work, with work, there will be money, and with money, there will be food and a place to live." ”
"And where do you live?" Xu Feng looked worried.
He seemed to be conducting a big search on himself, and whispered a simple response: "A nearby guest house." ”
At this time, the phone rang, and he motioned to answer the phone.
Xiao Yu remembered the past scene and felt that it was too reckless, so he took advantage of him to walk away, picked up his schoolbag and left the track and field.
The sun in the sky was getting hotter and hotter, she wiped the sweat from her face, there was a sea of fire in front of her, and there was still a sea of fire behind her, and she was like a barbecue in the fire.
If her parents hadn't abandoned her back then, if her adoptive parents had been ruthless and dominated her, she might not have been in such a situation. And there are no assumptions in life, only living facts, she was abandoned, and now she is facing the problem of survival.
What to do, what to do, what to do?
Xiaoyu has no intention of looking for a job because she is afraid of rejection. Don't you have to eat or sleep because you're afraid? She tilted her head up, tilted her head up, and only then would her eyes not sour.
Or go back to the track and field and ask the big brother you just met to help. No, no, no, he only inquired about his privacy, and he was just a student, and there was nothing he could do to help.
Xiao Yu flinched and asked herself angrily: What do you want to do, what can you do, this is not that or that, what are you going to do, haven't you always wanted to come out to work? This will come out, why do you want to go home and study again.
After answering the phone, he turned his head and saw that there was no one in the place, Xu Feng hurriedly glanced around, and his small body disappeared without a trace. Thinking to such a young girl, what would he do if he met a bad person, he looked around the track and field, no one is no one.
Her immature face, black and thin hands, sparkling eyes, and helpless eyes all grabbed his head, deceived and trafficked children, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became.
Thinking that she might go back to the guest house, he ran to the school hotel street.
……
Xiaoyu walked to the big tree at the school gate, sat on the stone steps of the green belt, took out a bun from her schoolbag, took a bite gently, and muttered: No matter how poor you used to be, you still have a bite to eat, a place to live in shelter from the wind and rain, and you can study.
Xiang Yang played with the basketball in his hand while walking, that black and thin girl, wasn't she a primary school student she had seen on the basketball court? Maybe she was too ugly, maybe she wasn't suitable for college, but he noticed her.
When he looked closer, he saw her biting the bun in small bites, and wiping her eyes with her hands from time to time. Maybe it's because he already has a kind heart to love children, maybe he is in a good mood, in short, this little girl made him ask, "Little sister, I cry when I eat a bun, what's wrong?"
felt that "little sister" seemed to be too much like a bad person, so she immediately changed her words, "Little sister, how can you eat enough buns?" Do you want me to treat you to dinner? He found that every word he said felt particularly awkward.
Xiao Yu looked up, it turned out to be a player, a really good-looking big boy, one or two levels higher than the handsome Gao Qi, the goose egg face, well-proportioned figure, charming height, and exquisite facial features all reveal his charm.
A whistle sounded from the side, and she lowered her head: "It's nothing, her eyes are a little astringent." "When I looked up at the sky, I almost fainted.
She was still eating buns in small bites, and Xiang Yang's eyes were a little wet: "Big brother, please go to dinner." ”
Looking at the other party's yellow hair and ruffian hairstyle, he remembered that the horses in his hometown were far less trustworthy than the big brother just now, and said euphemistically: "Thank you, big brother!" I've just eaten steamed buns, so let's go by myself. With that, she got up and drove away,
The money for a meal is just a drop in the bucket, maybe it is a warm meal for those who need it, Xiang Yang still didn't give up, and followed behind her: "Isn't it just a meal, you should accompany the eldest brother to eat and chat." ”
The sun was already in the sky, Xiao Yu raised his hand to look at his watch, the hands stopped, turned a corner and asked, "Big brother, what time is it?" I still have important things to do, so I can't eat and chat with you. ”
"You still have big things to do?" Xiang Yang looked questioning, but seeing her anxious look, he immediately took out his mobile phone and looked at it, "11 o'clock." ”
"Ah, so soon, I'm going to the guest house." Xiao Yu ran away, turning his head as he ran, and said, "Thank you big brother for the reminder, goodbye!" ”
Seeing that she ran away quickly, Xiang Yang was confused, a little girl lives in a guest house, is she the little girl who was rescued yesterday? In order to confirm, he quietly followed her to the guest house.
Ran to the front desk, saw that it was the boss, and only shouted in his heart, Xiaoyu held the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands, and whispered: "Boss, I want to stay for another night, can it still be the price of 20 yuan?" If I don't find a job, I'll still live with you. ”
"How many times have you been discounted, today is Friday, it belongs to the peak period of accommodation, and I haven't raised your price, so I'm extra kind to you." The boss crackled and said that he didn't care about this little guest at all.
In order to save some, Xiao Yu didn't dare to move out of his arrogance, "I know, I know, the boss is good, he has taken special care of me, I really don't have any money, and I haven't found a job today." ”
Because the expression on the boss's face became extraordinary, and his face became worse and worse, so bad that she was afraid of angering him when she said a word.
"It's your business, live or not, whatever you want, or you go to another house to see, maybe there will be a kind boss." The boss's tone was extremely bad.
The other party's ruthlessness and impatience made him angry, but he didn't dare to show it, the nearby guest house had already refused, and the boss with a bad tone gave himself additional discounts. Xiaoyu has always comforted herself: calm, calm, forbearance, just forbearance.
"Otherwise, I'll help you clean up a few rooms, and I'll get the discount you gave me, and when I get a job, I won't bother you anymore."
The boss got up and said: "I'm not a charity here, it's a guest house, for people to stay, if you don't solve the customer's work, you can live if you want to live, and if you can't afford to live, you will check out and leave." ”
Hearing it clearly at the door, Xiang Yang was most unaccustomed to the businessman who bullied the small with the big and looked at the person with money, so he walked in angrily, "Check out." Then he pulled her up the stairs in a huff, "Where is your room?" ”
His strength was so great that she had no chance to resist, Xiaoyu took out the key from her schoolbag, opened the door, sat on the bed, hugged the pillow, and cried with an aggrieved face.
"What's the use of crying? It's all your stuff, right? Xiang Yang walked out of the room with her luggage, saw that she was still sitting there, turned back to the room, pulled her to the front desk, and put the key in front of the boss with a "bang", "Check out." ”
Pulled to the road by the big boy, as if he understood what was going on, Xiao Yu shook off his hand vigorously: "Who are you?" Why do you want to help me make decisions, why do you care about me? Do you think you can control me one moment, and you can control me the next moment? Can you help me once, and can you help me all the time? ”
"There is such a stupid girl like you in the world, people refuse so obviously, and they are still trying to say, no matter how much it is useless, it is a big deal to change accommodation, so many hotels, you have to live in his dilapidated house."
"How do you know that a hungry man is hungry, do you think I am willing to wronged myself like this, and other guest houses don't even have a chance to say good things. If it weren't for the compulsion of life, who wouldn't beg others in a low spirit, look at other people's colors, and be scolded by you here. Xiao Yu wiped away the tears from her face.
Xiang Yang wiped his nose, scratched his hair again, and lowered his voice: "Are you running away from home?" ”
In a word, he said his current situation, and he choked up in a small language, lying and telling the truth, but it was just a coping, who could solve his own problems.
"If yes, you go home and don't be so willful." Xiang Yang lowered his voice and said, "The outside world is too unbeautiful. ”
"I'm just a person, I don't have a home to go back to, I can't find my way home." After speaking, Xiaoyu couldn't help squatting on the ground, biting his lip with his upper teeth, and sobbing loudly uncontrollably.
Passers-by cast strange glances, gritted their teeth at Yang, knocked their heads with their hands, looked at passers-by while looking at her: "Please, little sister, don't cry, don't cry, it's like I'm bullying you, passers-by are staring at me, don't cry, okay?" ”
