Chapter 1 The Man Who Wanders on the Edge of the World
At dawn, a lone figure stood at the top of the mountain. By the hazy light between heaven and earth, not much gray-white dust was poured towards the edge of the cliff. The wind in the mountains was so strong that the dust was blown away to the bottom of the cliff before it could be lifted.
Throw the empty black plastic bag off the cliff. Ye Guangji, who had nothing to do, sat casually on the boulder on the edge of the cliff. With your hands on the ground and your feet in the air, you stretch your body to your heart's content. He didn't feel scared in such a high position, and even felt more relaxed than ever.
Some say you're on the edge of a cliff. I'm not admiring the beautiful scenery and thinking about life, or I want to kill myself. At this time, Ye Guangji couldn't tell which one he was. Maybe it's just a little tired and I want to rest for a while!
Ye Guangji thought that he would be like in a martial arts movie at this time. After the hero was happy to take revenge, he turned around and left in a dashing manner. Leave behind a hearty laugh that reverberates between heaven and earth. But when he opened his mouth, he just made a simple ah, and he couldn't make a sound anymore. My heart was not as happy as I expected, but a little empty and uncomfortable.
Rubbing his fingers over the wound on his chest that had not healed for a long time, he got up and walked to the place where he had placed his backpack. Under a few pieces of red paper, he pulled out a brand new box of cigarettes. Unpack it and pull out a cigarette. Place the cigarette holder facing down on the back of your hand. Pinch the cigarette holder and run it through your nostrils, savoring the fragrance that belongs to the tobacco alone.
Hold a cigarette to your mouth and light it. Take a deep breath and exhale the smoke slowly. Feeling the tearing sensation between his chest and abdomen, he laughed and teased. "Ahem! Hanako isn't so good! Sure enough, a conscientious enterprise does not deceive the poor! Hahaha! ”
He stared at the curling green smoke rising from the cigarette butt, and couldn't help but think of the old dean in his mind. Ye Guangji was an orphan and was sent to an orphanage at a very young age. Because of the special reasons of personality, no one has adopted and has been growing up in an orphanage.
For as long as Ye Guangji could remember, the old dean was already full of gray hair. His only hobby is smoking. He was always reluctant to spend money on it, so he planted some tobacco leaves in the vegetable patch of the orphanage. The tobacco harvested every year is pitiful, and only during the holidays or when I am particularly happy will I smoke a little.
The old dean has done good deeds all his life, and he has helped countless people. But when he was dying a few years ago, only Ye Guangji was by his side. At that time, he was still cheerful and even comforted himself. One person is divided into dozens, hundreds. Whoever falls on it will only be left with a little. They can't get out of the way and prove that they have a successful career. It is a person who can contribute.
He always talks about the blessing of suffering. Believe that everything that happens is a necessary process of life. The greatest pain in life is not being able to do it again, and the greatest joy is what has been done.
There are more and more people and things that have been experienced, and Ye Guangji will always be unable to suppress that this view is wrong. However, the grace of nurturing is greater than birth, so he still selectively obeys. He has also done many good deeds and helped many people in the past few years of wandering.
Throw the cigarette butt at your feet and extinguish it, grab your backpack and walk down the mountain. He was ready to leave the city. If you've been here long enough, it's time to check out the rest of the world!
……
Ye Guangji came out of the forest in a bit of embarrassment. He walked for a day and a night, and finally set foot on the road outside the city. Rubbing the wet mud on the soles of his feet on the side of the road, he headed towards the crowded place. Leaving the city may not come back, always saying goodbye to his only friend.
Take out your phone that hasn't been used for a few days and plug it in. As soon as the phone is turned on, there is a phone access. The small screen showed Lin Yueqing's three words. The corners of Ye Guangji's mouth involuntarily curved upward, and the pace under his feet couldn't help but be a little brisker. Get on the phone. "Hey~ Is it Officer Lin?"
"Ye Guangji! Where are you going when you're not in the hospital? Find a place to hide, and I'll go look for you now. "The voice is crisp, with a hint of maturity in it. He could hear a little anxiety and a hint of concern.
He didn't have Lin Yueqing's urgency, and his tone was quite relaxed. "Haha! I am in the southern suburbs of Longjing Road, the intersection of convenience supermarket. Having stayed long enough in Dragon City, I'm ready to head north to see the snow. ”
Lin Yueqing on the other end of the phone, frowned slightly and then let go. Everyone has their own life to live. "Okay, I'll go over now, let's have a meal together and then go! You find a remote place, Wang Liqiang disappeared and his father has gone crazy. It's cruel to look around for someone, because there is not enough evidence, there is nothing to do about him for the time being! ”
The pace of pedestrians on both sides of the road gradually slowed down, and there was a faint tendency to surround the intersection. Ye Guangji saw a young man in front of him, pushing a bicycle and stopping at the intersection. In front of the car, an elderly man who seemed to be seriously injured was lying on the ground and groaning in pain.
Some of the surrounding people wanted to come forward to help, but they hesitated again and again, and finally had no choice but to retreat. Standing nearby with a mobile phone recording and watching the excitement with other people. After all, whose money is not blown by the wind, what if something happens and causes a commotion?
"There seems to be an old man in front of me who has fallen, so I'll go see what's going on. Meet and talk! Lin Yueqing knew his temperament, so she simply hung up the phone first.
Ye Guangji saw that someone was recording a video on the side, and thought that this matter should be easily resolved. Here, Ye Guangji trotted forward, smiling, and said in a gentle and concerned tone. "What's wrong with you, auntie? Do you need to go to the hospital? After speaking, he turned his head to look at the young man. What's going on? Why don't you help the eldest lady up? ”
Young people have experienced this kind of scene first-hand when they go out into society. His face was extremely aggrieved, his hands were clenched to the handlebars, and his legs trembled uncontrollably. Crying with a trill. "Brother, I didn't hit anyone! She pounced on herself and lay on the ground and couldn't get up. I just graduated and I don't have any money! ”
The old man looked thin and gave the impression that he was not frightened. He was dressed plainly but cleanly, not like he had just had an accident. Ye Guangji tried several times with his arms, but he couldn't pull it up. Then he turned to face the youth. "You go first! I'll do it here. ”
This young man has just entered the society at first sight, and he doesn't want to run when he encounters this kind of thing, so he is still waiting in place. Do you want to wait for the money to be blackmailed? Seeing that the young man was unmoved, Ye Guangji waved his hand to urge. "You go first! Come on! ”
The young man reacted and nodded at him gratefully, got on his bicycle and turned around and ran. If it weren't for the fact that the situation didn't allow it, he would have wanted to give Ye Guangji two.
When the old woman saw the duck in her hand fly away, she did not continue to pretend. sat up with the strength of Ye Guangji's pull, and then there was a scolding. "You stinky begging for food, don't worry about anything. With so many people on the side, it makes you look amazing, right? ”
The tone is full of anger, how can there be an injured look. Ye Guangji didn't pay attention to her bad words, he has encountered this kind of thing a lot, and it can be said that he is familiar with it.
"Auntie, just entered this industry! Pick people and don't pick people who look rich. There is surveillance in the vicinity, and there are people on the side. Get up when the ground is dirty! If you see so many people watching, someone must have called the police. You are extortion, and if you are caught, you will be detained for 5 to 10 days! ”
As he spoke, he tried to pull the old man up again. The old man resisted hard, and Ye Guangji's chest ached too hard. He persuaded him with good words, but the other party was still unmoved. Although it is troublesome, he has experience with this situation. As long as it is left to dry, it is unprofitable for the other party to get up.
The old woman Lao Chengjing didn't wait for Ye Guangji to move, and she could already see that he wanted to leave. When Ye Guangji turned around, he suddenly flew over, hugged his legs, and then raised his head and shouted. "Help! Hit someone! Son, come on, someone is bullying your mother! ”
A big man rushed out of the dense green belt behind Ye Guangji. Carrying a short stick in his hand, a long scar at the corner of his eye added a bit of ferocity. Shouted. "Which one doesn't want to live? Dare to bully my mother? See if I can't kill him! ”
Before the words fell, the strong man's short stick had already landed firmly on Ye Guangji's back. The powerful blow directly turned Ye Guangji's back and fell to the ground and twitched.
He was very confident in the technique in his hand, and confirmed that Ye Guangji would not be able to get up for a while. Then he scanned the nearby pedestrians with fierce eyes. The frightened ones bowed their heads and left, and the bold ones retreated further. At this time, Ye Guangji was lying on the ground, his heart was stagnant and it was difficult to breathe. I want to speak but can't make a sound. Two lines of blood flowed down from the nostrils, and the picture showed a face.
Seeing that Ye Guangji had lost his ability to resist, the old man roughly pulled the backpack off his back. Sharp-eyed, she saw a lot of cash in the compartment of her backpack. I took them all out and counted them roughly, and there were about five or six thousand. The old man shook the ticket in his hand. Showing a mouth full of yellow teeth, hehehehe
"Hey! I thought it was a stinky beggar, but I didn't expect the oil and water to be quite sufficient! These are the medical bills you just strained me! ”
Dahan was vigilant of the movements around him, and took Ye Guangji's backpack and rummaged through it. I want to see if there is anything of value in the bag. A few bamboo shoots, half a bottle of mountain spring water, a set of white-washed clothes, some medicine, and an elderly mobile phone. These are all of Ye Guangji's belongings.
He searched out a box of Chinese cigarettes from Ye Guangji's body, opened most of the box and pulled out one. Ignited it with a lighter that was also found on Ye Guangji's body. I took a deep breath and immediately stood out in disgust. "Bah, bah, it's a fake cigarette!"
He threw the fake cigarette he had smoked on the ground and stomped on it a few times. He continued to rummage with a low curse, and a few pieces of red paper tightly folded together caught his attention. opened one after another, it was all certificates of righteousness and bravery, and the names and positions of the people included the old dean and Ye Guangji. The old dean was poor, and these certificates were the only relics he left to Ye Guangji.
The strong man glanced at Ye Guangji, who was lying on the ground, and muttered. "I didn't expect to be a bad person." Then he looked up at the old man, and made a tentative proposal. "Mom, give him back the money! This guy seems to be a good guy! ”
Now he regrets it a little, although what he did was unethical. But he still has great admiration for good people. Most people are like this, and what they can't get is more and more valuable.
