Zhang Jiaze felt an unprecedented powerlessness. At this moment, how he wished that his wife was by his side, even if it was just a word of encouragement, he would set off bravely; How much he wants the child to be by his side, even if it is just a bright smile, he will draw the maximum energy from it, so that he can move forward.

But no.

Except for the cold room and the unforgiving street scene, he is lonely and alone.

After a long period of hopeless persistence, Zhang Jiaze wavered in his literary dream. For the twenty years or so before that, he had pursued literature enthusiastically, never wavering in his dreams, and pursued literature with an almost obsessive mentality.

However, it turns out that he was hit on the head in front of his literary dream.

Now, he has been separated from his wife. Because of literature, he turned away from the workplace; He turned his back on his loved ones; He turned his back on his friends, and he became a lonely person in this world.

Human beings are social animals, and no one in the world can exist alone.

Zhang Jiaze wanted to stand up, he knew that it was not good to be decadent like this, not good at all, but he had no way at all, and he had no strength at all.

He wandered aimlessly through the streets for three days and three nights, turning himself into a vagabond. He hadn't showered or changed his clothes for a week, in fact, he was wearing this set of clothes, his hair was nowhere to wash, his beard was not shaved, and he occasionally washed his face with cold water in the public toilet, so his body exuded a strong and unpleasant smell; He basically only eats one meal a day, sometimes it is steamed buns with cold water, sometimes it is a box of the cheapest box lunch. In just one week, he was as thin as a bamboo pole, with high cheekbones, and his eyes were blurred and scattered, hiding a trace of unwillingness, but more helplessness; Hair grows; The clothes were dirty, and a pair of cheap leather shoes had already revealed a big gap.

Think about the past, when I was a reporter in the media, although I didn't hug him like celebrities, at least I was sent by car, and there were considerable red envelopes, and the county magistrate secretary treated him as a guest; Look at the present, hey......

After wandering on the streets for several days in a row, one day, Zhang Jiaze passed by a shopping mall and saw a suit from the glass window, and he stared at the suit with a distracted look. Seeing this suit, it is inevitable that people will not be willing to leave until he has been looking at the window for about half an hour. From this suit, he saw a gentleman, red wine, bungalows, beautiful women, all kinds of high society, and glory. How he wished that one day he would be able to wear such a suit and attend all kinds of high-quality occasions and deal with all kinds of high-quality men and women. Look, there's a bow tie under the neck of this suit, he's worn a tie before, but he hasn't worn a bow tie yet, what is it like to wear a bow tie? Just as he was thinking like this, suddenly, a fierce fat woman rushed out of the store, crossed her waist, stretched out her fingers and shouted at him fiercely:

"Where did you come from to ask for food, go away, don't delay the old lady to do business!"

Zhang Jiaze was startled, then he looked down at his dirty clothes, realized that something was wrong, turned around and left silently.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he suddenly heard a gust of wind behind his ears, he instinctively bent down, and a bottle of mineral water flew over his ears, and he looked back to see that the woman who was like a dominatrix just now was still roaring:

"Hurry up and get out of the way, kill you stinky food! What to watch if you can't afford it? ”

Zhang Jiaze only felt a burst of sadness, sad for this woman's worldly and snobbish gaze; Sadness is followed by anger, you can scold me, but you can't hit me, you are insulting my personality in me!

At that moment, Zhang Jiaze became angry, he turned around, strode towards the woman, and shouted angrily:

"What do you say? Why do you think that people are low? How much does your outfit cost? Lao Tzu bought it for you today! ”

These words startled the woman, and she couldn't help but look up and down at the "beggar" in front of her, feeling that this beggar was a little different, the difference was in his eyes, and it could be seen from his eyes that this beggar seemed to be a beggar who had seen the world.

Did you look away?

The fat woman looked at Zhang Jiaze suspiciously, and still couldn't help but say a little teasingly:

"What? Are you going to buy this outfit? Do you know how much this outfit costs? Saying it scares you to death! Five thousand! Have you ever seen five thousand dollars? Phew! ”

Zhang Jiaze feels that so far, it is not a question of whether you can afford it, it is a matter of personality and dignity, and you must buy this set of clothes today, isn't it 5,000 yuan? I have exactly five thousand! For this kind of person who looks down on people and only has money in his heart, he has to teach her a lesson!

Zhang Jiaze strode towards the store and shouted:

"Take it off for me, it's this set of clothes today, I've bought it!"

Hearing this, the woman immediately changed her attitude, the dirty man in front of her instantly changed from a beggar to the God of Wealth, she never expected that she had been doing business for so many years, and today she actually looked away, this dirty man didn't even talk about the price, and bought it directly!

The fat woman immediately smiled all over her face, as if he had never said the insulting words to Zhang Jiaze just now, bowed down and welcomed Zhang Jiaze into the store, and said with a smile:

"Oops, I don't see it...... Sorry sorry...... Come on, sir, please ...... here."

The same person, in only three or four minutes, changed from a "beggar" and a "stinky begger" to a "sir".

Walking into the front desk of the store, the woman immediately asked:

"Sir, do you pay in cash or by card?"

Zhang Jiaze was full of energy, did not squint, and replied loudly:

"Swipe your card!"

The fat woman smiled again and said:

"Yes, yes, sir—"

While taking out the POS machine, she stretched out a big chubby hand and said to Zhang Jiaze:

"Sir, please give me your card-"

Zhang Jiaze instinctively stretched out his hand into his trouser pocket, first the left pocket, touched it, no; He shifted to the right pocket and touched it twice, and it was strange that there was still none!
