J City.

In a construction site.

Messy building materials were laid out everywhere, and everywhere was raised dust, gray.

A skinny man was lying on the ground, his dirty and blue overalls covered in dust. His face was blue and purple, and his nose was beaten with blood, mixed with mud and pasted on his face.

He lay on the ground and screamed, but no one came up to help him.

"Zhang Mingming, you are a fool, let me tell you, I will beat you once I see you. If you don't go to the sewers to clean up the garbage, if it weren't for your fellow countrymen, I would have kicked you out a long time ago. ”

The middle-aged man talking with a cigarette in his mouth is the foreman Wang Changfa, and among all the physical work, the dirtiest, most tiring and most dangerous is to go to the sewer to clear the garbage and dredge the pipes.

Because there is at least one meter of dirty water in the sewer at any time, and sometimes you have to dive to clean the garbage, this kind of work is generally not done, and even if you do it, you have to pay a higher price.

But this foreman used intimidation and threats to force Zhang Mingliang to do it for him, and the salary he gave him was not even as good as doing ordinary work.

"You degassing, degassing. ”

A bald man next to him stepped forward and kicked Zhang Mingliang while groveling in front of the foreman.

"This grandson is not a man, and if you ask him to do the work, the foreman, you are lifting him. ”

This bald strong man is Liu Meng, Zhang Mingming's fellow villager, and he has been taking him out to work for many years.

Although he was also very angry in his heart, he didn't dare to provoke this foreman, the foreman was a local snake, the family was very powerful, and there were a few stunned people who dared to fight and kill, and he had been contracting projects everywhere, and when he saw people from other places working, he promised to find them jobs, and then coerced and lured them to do those hard and dangerous jobs.

Zhang Mingliang looked at the foreman resentfully, but he didn't dare to resist, because he knew that resisting would only lead to another beating.

Phew, the foreman gave him a contemptuous look and turned to drink a little wine.

Liu Meng, a bald strong man on the side, helped him up and patted him with dust.

"Brother, I didn't say you, why did you go against the foreman? let you go and drill the sewers, and don't you give you a hundred and fifteen a day? You imagine that when you are at home, you work in the fields, and you can earn 15 a day, don't you die? ”

Zhang Mingliang looked at him, he knew that the person in front of him claimed to be his fellow countryman, but he was in the same group as the foreman, and they were all sucking his blood, and they all deserved to die.

"Brother, I'll give you leave for the past two days, you have a good rest. There's another job to clean up the drains next week, so you can take care of yourself. ”

Liu Meng got up and left, he still had to curry favor with the foreman to see if he could catch his line, so that he would not have to work on the construction site in the future.

The surrounding workers dispersed, and no one came forward to comfort him.

He struggled to his feet and limped back to his shed.

I lay motionless until the evening, and the other workers came back from dinner, and gathered together for dinner. Only him, with his head in his hands, was still lying like dead on a bed made of several broken planks, covered with a shabby quilt.

In a daze, he remembered that when he was a child at home, at that time, no matter how poor he was, on his birthday, his father would boil an egg for him, and take out five cents from his shabby jacket pocket for him.

It was his happiest day of the year, and he would take five cents and happily run to the village store with his younger brother to buy fruit dan peel, figs and spicy strips. The two brothers would take snacks and go to the creek to eat and play at the same time.

Now my younger brother is still in college, and my old mother is also sick, my brother's tuition fees and my mother's medical expenses need to be earned outside him, no matter what, he has to persevere.

Thinking of this, he regained some of his spirits, he wanted to struggle to get up, go to the small clinic next to the construction site to have a look, prescribe some medicine, and then go to eat a pot of pork rice to replenish his nutrition.

He must take revenge, and he will not let the bullies of him have a good time, and at the same time, he has such a strong desire in his heart.

In a trance, he seemed to come to a pure white boundless space.

Across from him, there was a man standing who looked like his junior high school homeroom teacher.

"Teacher Li, is that you?"

The appearance of this person in front of him, he will never forget for the rest of his life.

This is his junior high school homeroom teacher, very good to him, although his family is poor, but his academic performance has been very good, Mr. Li has high hopes for him, has always hoped that he will not give up reading, to change his destiny through reading.

Because Mr. Li's family was also very poor back then, he walked out of the mountains through studying, so he took special care of him. Because he was poor, he couldn't afford to eat meat and vegetables, and he was malnourished for a long time, but Mr. Li would call him to the classroom and dormitory every week to fry chili meat slices for him to eat, which was the best chili meat slices he had ever eaten.

But he failed Mr. Li, he was obviously admitted to a key high school, but his family was too poor, and he had no choice but to go home and follow his parents to work in the fields and take care of the housework. He will never forget the disappointed look in Mr. Li's eyes when he graduated, which stung him deeply.

"Human, now appearing in front of you is just the image of the person you have the deepest impression, I am the great wish elf, I have sensed your strong desire, do you want revenge, as long as you complete the exchange with me, any wish can be fulfilled. ”

"Really, I want to gain strength, I want to gain courage, I want to have the courage to defy anything, I want to take revenge on all those who have bullied me. ”

"Very good. This wish can be granted, but you have to exchange it for something. ”

"As long as I have it, take it all, as long as I give me strength, spare me a breath, and be able to take revenge on them, that's fine. ”

He was in a frenzy at this time, and the fury of revenge overwhelmed him. Why, he just wants to exchange his labor for payment, to be able to treat his old mother and study for his younger brother, why don't these people treat him as a human being, and want to insult and bully him like this.

"The only thing you can exchange for is reason, and that's the only precious quality you have, and it keeps you calm, and in many cases, reason can play a big role. Are you sure you want to trade your sanity for the power of revenge?"

"I confirm. ”

"The deal is complete, and you have been given courage by the greatest wish elves, I hope you will use it well. ”

In a trance, he opened his eyes, and there was still a dilapidated shed in front of him, and his body was still very painful.

What a strange dream.

"Well, what will this person become after trading?"
