Volume I, Chapter XXIII
It was the young man, he was in my memory, and there was no mistake, and I met him here again.
He was carrying a black satchel, dizzy, a little sleepy, holding the armrest, his body was slightly turbulent with the car, wearing black short sleeves, blue shorts, and his shoes were a little wet. He looks completely different now than he does in the company today, he must have gone to work in a small restaurant, right? Don't ask me how I know, it's past eight o'clock, some employees have already left work, and the strong spicy smell of Sichuan food on his body has already hit my mouth and nose, stimulating my taste buds.
Naturally, I stood next to him, holding the armrest and tugging at my collar. The young man first felt social fear and walked to the side, and I leaned over.
He sensed something was wrong and looked closely at me, and only then did he recognize me.
"You're the one!" He said with some surprise.
"That's how I recognize it." I said with a smile.
"So, may I ask what ...... are you here for" The car stopped, and the two of us gave way to others, and then found a seat to sit down, and now there are not many people in the car.
"It's nothing, it's just that if your education is placed in this group of people, no one will find it at all." I looked at him and he seemed a little helpless.
"Actually, you can take the adult college entrance examination." I don't know if he will take this suggestion.
He didn't say anything, he didn't know what he was thinking, was he thinking about his days at school? Or is it a beating in society after coming out?
After several stops, I looked at the multigrain cake in my hand, I didn't eat it for a day, it spent the day with me.
"Have you eaten?" I asked him with a multigrain cake.
"You're already cold, aren't you?" He frowned, obviously disgusted.
"Where do you say that?" I tore the cake in half, then took a bite and went down.
I pushed the other one to him, and he would just take it.
"Where is your home?" I asked him.
"There's Dingshan," he said. "I rented a room."
"That's right" In my impression, Dingshan has not yet been developed, and it is still a tiled village with some rice fields. But it's about to be demolished.
That's it, I'm going to stop going home for now, and follow this guy named Higen to see how he's doing.
After getting off the station and walking into the path in the field, the cicadas around me kept chirping at this time, and the sound of the breeze blowing the weeds and salsa, such an atmosphere was completely unexperienced in the crowded city. There were no lights around, so I could only listen to Hinogen's footsteps and walk forward. After walking for a while, the moon came out of the clouds, and the beauty of the whole world was illuminated in my eyes.
Passing by a few old houses, you can see old people resting in the concrete yard from time to time. Then enter a dark and narrow path, and you will arrive at Hinogen's house.
I found a couple of boxes stacked at the door, and he should know what they contained. He immediately took out the key to open the door, only to find that it could not be opened, and it was still the same after several attempts.
"Go sit with me." I picked up a box and said to him.
He is really similar to me, I don't know where it is, but there are always places where I can deeply feel his heart, for example, he will not give up on himself for life, he will not deliberately look down on himself, and he will always have hope for himself...... Perhaps, it's just that I have compassion for him.
After all, people's hearts are all connected.
