November 2005.

The nightmarish bill appeared in front of Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang's hand holding the bill trembled slightly, and at the same time, the depths of his throat were stuck by something, and he couldn't make any sound.

It was the end of autumn at the moment, but Zhou Yang's palms were still sweating.

He kept his head down, he didn't lift it all the time, he looked nervous, he had a feeling of aftermath after a car accident, but he tried to keep himself upright, so that his body seemed taller, more natural, calmer.

But a gust of wind blew from the distant horizon, but it seemed to seep into the bones deep in his skin, making him shiver with coldness, cold enough to curl up, shrinking as unnoticeable as possible.

Above the bill is an astronomical set of numbers.

Every number, like a hammer, smashed into his heart so hard that he couldn't breathe.

The numbers are auspicious.

Sixty-eight thousand!

Definitely a good jackpot.

However, the auspicious numbers did not make him feel lucky, but rather a nightmare that he could not wake up from.

"You've got to lose money......"

In the midst of the smoke, the middle-aged man led by him said this sentence again.

After hearing this, Zhou Yang's brain went blank.

He wanted to say something to defend himself, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't hold back a word.

The throat is very dry.

It was so dry that he wanted to cough.

He's not the kind of person who talks a lot, even on weekdays, he's the kind of person who doesn't talk much.

Not far away.

The old broken van overturned, and the glass shattered to the ground.

Next to the van was an equally crooked van.

The van crashed into a tree with a crooked neck, and the branches poked into the cab.

On the ground, in addition to the marks of tires and brakes, there were broken lenses and various shooting equipment that had been knocked to pieces.

The camera, in particular, has a shattered casing and even the lens is distorted.

It was a car accident!

Moreover, it seems to be a very thrilling car accident, at least a thin young man next to the big tree is still palpitating until now, constantly touching his Pixiu jade pendant.

The soul is scared away!

"I'll pay for it, but I don't have that much money right now."

After suppressing it for a long time, Zhou Yang finally spit out such a sentence in his dry throat.

After spitting out such a sentence, he felt that the cold feeling in his body was stronger.

It was cold, bitterly cold.

However, he finally gritted his teeth and raised his head to stare at the middle-aged man with a beard and long hair.

"And how much money do you have now?" The middle-aged man looked at Zhou Yang, Xu felt that Zhou Yang was dressed and dressed, and he was really not like a rich man, and he was a little disappointed.

"Six hundred!" Zhou Yang replied.

"What do you say? You repeat? The middle-aged man with a cigarette was stunned, and the cigarette almost fell out of his mouth.

"Six hundred!"

“???” The middle-aged man was stunned on the spot.

Six hundred and sixty thousand!

This number gap is really ......

Too big, right?

"I have a bank card, and all the savings in my body are only six hundred ......," Zhou Yang looked at the middle-aged man and repeated again.

"Then call your parents, wait, you won't, you don't have a cell phone, right?"

Although Zhou Yang's eyes were dodging, his eyes were very clear.

The middle-aged man could tell that the young man was not lying.

He exhaled deeply and threw the cigarette butt to the ground.

"Hmm...... No. Zhou Yang glanced down at the bill again, with mixed emotions.

"My phone is for you, can you remember your parents' numbers at home?" The middle-aged man looked at the sky, finally suppressed his irritability, and patiently took out his mobile phone.

"My mom died when I was very young, and my dad had cancer and just passed ......away last year," Zhou Yang held the bill.

He didn't answer his phone.

"What about your relatives at home? There are always relatives, right? Looking at Zhou Yang's bird-like appearance, the middle-aged man felt that his emotions were a little unbearable.

What kind of family is this?

"Cancer cost a lot of money, and my relatives and friends ignored us......"

"Where's the house?"

"Sold."

"What about this car? I really can't do it, I sold this car......"

"The car is a rented ......"

"You poor ...... Whew, so, what are you renting a car for? The middle-aged man exhaled deeply, and the words poor ghost didn't come out after all.

"A few days ago, I took a job for water and electricity, and by the way, I helped the landlord pull some wires......"

"You're an electrician?" The middle-aged man looked at the overturned car loaded with wires and various broken furniture, and subconsciously asked.

"Well, I have an electrician's certificate, and I will connect some wires...... Zhou Yang nodded, looked at the sunset in the distance, tangled for a while, and added again: "I can have a salary of 100 yuan a day, and I can also earn some money by moving things, I just got my driver's license, and I think renting a car is a little more cost-effective, so I rented a ......"

"Earn 60,000, how long do you want to earn?"

"If the landlord is all about food and drink, it will be about three years, if not, it may be later...... If I don't get sick, I can pay you back a little bit every month. Zhou Yang continued to answer.

"What about loans? You have an ID card, you can take out a loan, right? I'll help you find a way, you can borrow tens of thousands of yuan, and we'll settle it off. ”

Bad luck!

Middle-aged people feel very unlucky.

"I ...... I can't get a loan. ”

"Why can't I get a loan?" The middle-aged man asked.

"In order to cure the disease, everything that should be sold has been sold, everything that should be mortgaged, and everything that should be loaned has been loaned, and the previous 80,000 yuan before the loan has not been paid off, as well as the money swiped out by various credit cards, these have not been repaid......" Zhou Yang's throat became dry again, and his voice became softer and softer.

"......" The middle-aged man's beard trembled slightly, and the muscles on his face twitched.

The cigarette in his mouth finally fell to the ground.

After staring at Zhou Yang for a long time, he finally lit a cigarette again.

Messy hair, white-washed jeans, and old electrician's overalls, which look very cheap......

He finally sighed, and the smoke was inhaled into his lungs, choking him on a cough.

What the fuck is this human suffering that has happened to me?

The skinny young man under the crooked neck tree looked at his broken van and the branch that almost killed him......

Finally, his eyes were fixed on Zhou Yang.

Damn it!

This guy almost sent me to God!

"I'm not going to pay for it...... When I finish delivering something, I'll compensate you, or should I make an IOU first? Zhou Yang looked at the silence in the atmosphere, and finally made up his mind to answer.

"How do you pay?" The middle-aged man felt that he was bored and panicked.

"I said that I can pay you back some every month, or I will work for you until the debt is paid off......," Zhou Yang replied as he looked at the middle-aged man seriously.

"What do you think you can do on the set?" The middle-aged man glanced at Zhou Yang angrily.

"I don't know, but I don't have anything now, I only have the strength to help move something, it's still okay to help move something, you crew, you always need someone to move something, right?"

Zhou Yang is very sincere.

From the heart, even the sincerity in the bones.

"I'll discuss with the assistant director what to do, you wait here, by the way, you have to give me your ID card......"

"I didn't bring my ID card ......"

"Where?"

"In a rental house."

"Where's the driver's license?"

"I'm going to look for ......."

The two watched Zhou Yang put the bill away, walked slowly towards the van, and just took two steps, Zhou Yang stopped again.

"That...... Elder brother. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Can you help lift the van up? The driver's license was crushed in the car...... Why don't you call a crane for you, or take the insurance to pull it up first? Zhou Yang turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, and finally his expression was very entangled.

"Okay, okay, then don't move here, I'll discuss it with the assistant director, remember, don't run, you know?"

"I don't run, people live in this world to talk about credit, and when they have nothing, they have to talk about credit, I understand this."

"It's okay, okay, just stand here."

"Good!"

Zhou Yang watched the middle-aged man walk towards the edge of the crooked neck tree.

The two appeared to have a heated argument.

The thin young man glanced back at Zhou Yang, his eyes seemed very weird, and then he continued to quarrel fiercely with the middle-aged man.

It looks like it's about to start fighting.

Vaguely, Zhou Yang heard the words "superstar" and "script......

Sunset.

Zhou Yang honestly stood in place.

He watched the sunset, and the whole person stood motionless like a stake.

If God gives Zhou Yang another chance.

Zhou Yang probably won't take orders from customers, let alone rent a car, and he won't try to walk this muddy trail quickly if he rents a car.

Even, two years ago, I wouldn't have drunk that drink......

At least, if you don't drink that wine, you won't come into this world.

When the sun sets.

When the orange sunset fills the sky......

The two finally came to an agreement and walked over.

"Okay, the crew just needs a guy to do chores......"

"You just follow the crew......"

"Okay, brother!"
