Leaving Shipai Village, I walked aimlessly.

I don't know where I'm going.

I don't know where I'm going.

As I walked, I remembered that I had a friend whose name was Shen Xiaochuan, and his family lived near the train station.

So, I started to have a goal.

I walked in the direction of the train station.

Soon, I saw the train station.

It's not the train that you see, it's not the train station. Instead, I saw the three big characters in the official book "Nanyue Station".

These are the three big characters I saw for the first time when I first came to Nanyue yesterday! So I'm more impressed.

When I saw the train station, it was still brightly lit and the surroundings were still flashing with neon.

I was interested in seeing how this train station was different tonight from yesterday before dawn when I first arrived.

I approached an iron-barred gate and saw the word "exit" written on it.

I saw the crowd crawling out of it like ants.

At the door, a few people wearing armbands were guarding, saying that they were checking tickets.

The people who came out of it took out a small ticket and asked the ticket checker to check.

For some reason, the crowd began to stir, like ants on a hot pot, scurrying around, trying to crowd out.

A middle-aged woman wearing an armband to check tickets stood at the exit and shouted, "Lose the old cat!" ”

I don't understand, these people are all going to leave the station, and they have something to do with losing the old cat?

People are still crowding to the exit.

"Lose the old cat!" Another middle-aged man wearing an armband to check the ticket said the same.

I seem to understand: these two people who check the ticket may be reminding everyone: Nanyue has lost the old cat!

It dawned on me that—

There may be a bubonic plague in Nanyue recently, and many families have lost their old cats!

Why did you lose your old cat? Someone stole an old cat!

Why does anyone steal old cats?

Because of the plague, cats catch mice, especially old cats, who are experienced and can catch mice! Therefore, whoever has an old cat is worth it, and valuable things are always easy to be stolen, so everyone is shouting "lose the old cat"......

So, that is to say, these ticket inspectors are reminding these outsiders that they don't need to come to Nanyue to sell coolies to work, as long as they know that the current situation in Nanyue is the lack of old cats, it is enough.

This is great business information! Go back to your hometown and traffic the cats from your hometown, especially the old cats, and you will definitely be able to sell them for a good price, and you will definitely be able to make a fortune, and what kind of work will you do!

As a result, I began to complain about myself.

Why didn't anyone tell me this important information when I came last night?

The city where I lived was full of cats who were idle. Everyone says "the cat is called spring"! It means that there are too few mice, too many cats, and most of the cats have nothing to do, so they have to "meow and meow", and people say that "cats call spring".

If I had known that there was a shortage of cats in the city of Nanyue, would it be necessary for me to sharpen my head and become a cultural person? Is it still necessary to apply for a job? I went directly back to the city and suburbs where I was alive, collected a large number of old cats to sell in Nanyue, and I could make a fortune!

As for eating and drinking, there is no money? As for the woman who accompanies the flowers, there is no money to play? And let them call the police to scare me? And because I don't have the money to get a temporary residence permit, let them escort me to work and renovate?

I decided to go back to the city where I was alive and start a business selling old cats.

After thinking about it, no, since I have promised people that I will officially report to work tomorrow, how can I lose my trust for the sake of money? Being a human being shouldn't be like this!

After much thought, I still made a choice between money and integrity: integrity matters!

I decided: I will report to work on time tomorrow.

At this time, I remembered my only friend in Nanyue, Shen Xiaochuan.

I should go to his house for the night and then go to work tomorrow.

I suddenly thought again, it's so late at night, is Shen Xiaochuan already asleep? Will it disturb people to go at this time? Will people be unhappy?

That's right, I should have made a phone call first.

Fortunately, there are many private phone booths in the square at the exit of the train station, which are full of phones, which looks very convenient.

I left the exit and walked to a phone booth.

"Boss, I'll make a call." I say.

The boss is really the boss, and he gave me the landline phone with a straight face and no expression.

I started dialing numbers.

"The city? Or is it a long distance? The boss still had a straight face.

"The city." I say.

The boss grabbed the landline phone and put it back in its place.

"What's wrong?"

The boss still kept a straight face, didn't bother to say a word, just waved my hand and motioned for me to go away.

I looked at him puzzled, intending to walk away.

But the boss said, "Lose the old cat!" ”

I thought to myself: I already know this information, and I don't need you to remind me.

I walked over to another private phone booth.

"Boss, I'll make a call." I say.

The boss also had a straight face and brought me the landline phone in one step.

"The city? Or is it a long distance? ”

"The city." I say.

The boss hesitated for a moment and said, "The city also charges according to long-distance, fifty yuan for a call, within five minutes." ”

"This ...... Do you still need money to call? I asked, puzzled.

"Lose the old cat!" The boss grabbed the landline phone and put it back in its place.

I got angry and said, "You lost your old cat, what does it have to do with me?" I'm not in charge of your old cat! ”

The boss's face changed so much that he grabbed the phone and was about to hit me.

Just then, a patrolling policeman passed by and glanced around.

The boss saw the police coming and put the phone back in its place.

I felt something was wrong, but I didn't know what was wrong.

But I understand that it's better to cause less trouble and go for the best policy.

This is the first time I've found out, and the police are still very good!

In order not to cause trouble, I quickly followed the patrolling policeman.

Nearby, the patrolling policeman seemed to know that I was following him, so he said, "You just came?" ”

"Yes, I just came."

"Who are you?"

"Cultural people."

"Cultural people? How do I think you are uneducated. ”

"I'm a man of culture,

Really cultural people. ”

"The culture of your hometown in the north doesn't work here in southern Guangdong, understand?"

"That'...... How does it work? ”

"Money, without money, you can't work. Did he almost hit you just now? ”

"That's right, that's so unreasonable!"

"If I hadn't happened to be passing by, the phone would have been smashed on your head."

"That'...... Thank you then. ”

"Why does he want to hit you?"

"He said it would cost 50 yuan to make a phone call, and I don't have any money."

"No money? Then you dare to make a phone call? Also, you don't have any money, he won't let you call at most, why would he hit you with a telephone? ”

"He said that he lost the old cat at home, so I said, it's none of my business if you lose the old cat, and he ......"

"You're such a seven-star! No wonder. ”

"How do you know that I am from the Seven Stars?"

"Go, go, go, get out of here! I don't care about you if something happens! The patrol officer strode away in annoyance.

Far away, I heard him leave me a word.

This sentence is still: lose the old cat!

Lose the old cat......

Lose the old cat......

The ticket inspector said to lose the old cat!

The people in the phone booth said to lose the old cat!

The police also said that they lost the old cat!

How? Could it be that the plague in Nanyue is so serious? Why are they all talking about "losing the old cat"?

Could it be? Could it be that the blame for this "lost old cat" lies with me? Is it because I'm here that the people of Nanyue have lost their old cats? Am I suspected of being a "cat thief"?

Ah, I came to Nanyue, and I haven't done anything yet, why do you suspect me?

Leaving the train station, I began to walk aimlessly again.

Luckily, I have a good memory.

From memory, I found the home of Shen Xiaochuan, the only friend I had never met in Nanyue.

After all, I stayed at his house for one night!
