Extra 8: The Childhood Journey of the Iron Hammer and the Nails.
"It's so early to come out today."
A middle-aged man walked up to a vegetable vendor in the vegetable market with a smile and handed over a cigarette: "I haven't seen you come out of the stall so early on weekdays, come with three eggplants, grab a handful of shallots, and then bring half a catty of chili peppers." ”
"Nothing."
The vegetable seller took the cigarette and put it next to his ear with a smile, and then packed the dishes the man wanted: "I also come so early on weekdays, okay, give it." ”
"A total of 17 yuan, all of them are old customers, and the shallots will be given to you, and no money will be charged."
"Okay."
The man didn't smile and took the vegetables handed over by the vegetable vendor, turned his head to look at the big stupid man who had been staring at the vendor next door, and said casually: "That fool is still selling fish here." ”
"Well, it's always been there, and it's pretty early every day.
The vegetable seller casually answered: "It's a hard work, but it's a pity that I have a bad brain and a little girl, no matter how hard I try, it's useless, this world is also bitter, I have never seen their father and mother, and it is estimated that they will die early, leaving a fool and a little girl in this world, which is enough to torture." ”
"But they are said to not be able to stay for a few days, and the market will soon have a new rule, not allowing all seafood vendors to settle in, and they will be driven out immediately."
"You won't see you next time."
"If you don't see it, forget it."
The middle-aged man didn't care, the world is so big, there are so many important things happening every day, who cares if a former fool fishmonger can see it behind.
"Let's go."
"Okay, next time."
“.”
Iron Hammer had been sitting on the bench behind his paving, his eyes slightly dull looking at the middle-aged man standing next to the vendor and communicating with the boss, not knowing what he was thinking, only after the man left, he slowly turned his head to move his eyes to the cigarette in the vendor's ear.
In this wet market, there are many regular customers who will hand a cigarette when they communicate with the vendors.
But. But no one ever handed it to him.
At first, he thought that those people didn't know that he smoked, so he struggled for a long time, specially bought a pack of the cheapest cigarettes, lit it to his mouth when there were many people, and choked until he kept coughing.
But even so, no one gave him a cigarette.
But from time to time, I can hear some other voices.
"Hey, look at that idiot, he's learning to smoke."
"The brain is stupid, but the mouth is not stupid."
"Not really."
He has a bad brain, but that doesn't mean he can't tell who is kind to him and who is malicious to him, he doesn't know why those people do it, so he can only continue to sit on the bench behind the paving day after day, living in silence day after day.
And he didn't smoke the pack of cigarettes again.
Left half a bag on the paving.
"Brother."
At this moment, a complaint came from the side: "I said at the time, don't buy that pack of cigarettes, you have to buy it, you don't know, we don't have much money now, it's so expensive to buy a pack of cigarettes, and you can't eat it and buy it." ”
“.”
Iron Hammer didn't speak, just looked at the little girl next to him, who was about a little more than a meter old, and suddenly smirked, stroking the two small braids on the back of her head, the braids were a little unsightly, and the braids were identified by him.
He studied secretly for a long time.
Because my sister said that she also wanted a braid like other little girls, but she couldn't, so he went to learn secretly, but he was stupid, no matter how serious he was to learn, he couldn't always braided it to look as good as other girls.
But my sister didn't dislike it.
On the contrary, I am still very happy.
Seeing that his sister was happy, he was also happy.
"Forget it."
Maybe he was tired, Tie Ding stopped complaining in his mouth, and no longer mentioned the pack of unfinished cigarettes, but Xuanbao took out a leaflet from his arms, his eyes flashed, and his eyebrows danced.
"There's a new seafood market that's about to open, and we're looking for shops."
"The person in charge of the market, knowing that we have been here for a year, thinks that we are experienced fishmongers, and is willing to give us a six-month discount on the rent, and then pay the first six months of rent after six months."
"The market is about to evict all the seafood vendors, and when we refund the rent, we are willing to pay liquidated damages for one month's rent, and with this money, we can move to the newly opened seafood market."
"I've looked into it."
"There are three residential areas around that market, and there are a lot of people, and there must be a lot of people who come to buy fish to eat, and we will definitely make a lot of money when the time comes!"
As he spoke, the iron nail entered fantasy mode, and his eyes were a little dazed and murmured: "When I make a lot of money, I must buy me several beautiful little dresses, and then buy a lot of beautiful hairpins, make a lot of friends, if I can go to school, it will be better." ”
"There will definitely be more good friends in school."
"Brother, what do you want to do if you have money."
Iron Hammer continued to laugh stupidly, what he wanted to do after he got rich had been told by his sister, he didn't know what to say, he couldn't say it again, just caressing his sister's braids over and over again.
How to look at this braid the more you look at it, the better it looks.
Unconsciously, he kind of liked the braid he bred, and it seemed to look pretty good.
"Forget it."
Seeing that his brother didn't react, the iron nail was a little speechless like a hammer, like a little adult, and crossed his waist with one hand: "Brother, brother, if you continue to be stupid like this, I will be very tired!" ”
"Do you know that for a child, it's very tiring to worry about adult affairs."
"I'm!"
Things are going well.
These three days.
They evacuated the market, and before leaving, Hammer distributed the unsmoked half pack of cigarettes to the vendors one by one.
Someone took it and politely said a few words like wishing a bright future and making a fortune in the future.
And some people didn't answer, and their eyes were extremely disgusted.
But the hammer didn't treat it differently, but gave everyone a smile on their face.
But before entering that seafood market, there was a problem.
"Don't you have identification?"
At the desk, the person in charge of the seafood market frowned and looked at the hammer and nails from the previous year: "I asked you to bring an identity certificate to register, why do you talk so much?" ”
"Absolutely!"
Tie Ding got up and said with a serious face: "It's at home, I'll go back and get it tonight, and I'll bring it tomorrow." ”
"You?"
The person in charge of the seafood market frowned and looked at the iron nails: "It doesn't matter if you have it or not, who wants you, who wants your family, is this your father or your brother, why don't you speak?" ”
"Hey, what do you mean as an adult not to speak, let the child come out and speak?"
The nail hurriedly poked the hammer's waist in a hurry.
"Oh."
This time, the hammer that reacted in his brain nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Yes, it's fine."
Although the person in charge of the seafood market felt a little strange, he didn't dwell too much, but waved his hand and said casually: "If there is, bring it tomorrow, and after you finish the registration, you can enter the market normally." ”
"Each paving is our unified decoration, you can not add extra decoration, if you have special needs, come to me in advance with renderings for approval."
"What's the name of your shop?"
"We also decorate the roll call uniformly."
"Hammer Seafood Shop." Iron Nail replied with a serious face and a hint of yearning.
On the second day, Tie Nail signed a contract with Iron Hammer with a fake certificate, and after a day of working in the stall, he left the seafood market in the early hours of the morning and walked in the direction of his home.
Although the two were extremely tired.
But his expression was extremely excited.
Iron Hammer sat on the shoulder of the iron nail, and kept waving his little hand with an excited expression: "Brother, let me tell you, the traffic of this seafood market is absolutely good, we are really lucky, this stall will definitely make a lot of money." ”
"I can't wait to buy me several nice clothes."
"No, money can't be spent indiscriminately!"
"In this way, I'll buy me a body, and I'll buy you a good one, brother."
"Okay."
Iron Hammer is still the same as usual, smiling and smirking, he doesn't know what he's laughing at, he just feels that this world is very happy, with such a sister with him, life is really good, it would be better if his sister could have beautiful new clothes to wear.
Dead.
The road home was quiet, and only the two of them were talking about their hopes for the future.
However.
That's when it happened.
A somewhat sloppy homeless man, as if his nerves were a little abnormal, jumped out of the shadows on the side, startling the two of them, and at the same time shouted in a sharp voice: "Hahaha, you apply for a fake certificate, you apply for a fake certificate!" ”
"I know you're getting a fake certificate!"
"I saw you calling the advertisement for a fake certificate on the pillar, I'm going to tell everyone, I'm going to tell the police uncle tomorrow!"
The voice fell.
The face of the iron nail sitting on the shoulder of the hammer changed greatly, and a trace of uncontrollable fear floated in the depths of the same pupils, why would this homeless man know about the matter of making a false certificate?
The seafood market is only used for registration, and does not check the authenticity.
But once it is known that they have fake certificates, not only will they be disqualified, but they will even be sent to the police station.
The two of them have been suffering for so long, and finally their lives are going to get a little better, if this matter leaks out, they will have no place to turn over!
This homeless man has been harassing them for a year.
They had been harassing them in that vegetable market, and for some reason, they had never offended this homeless man, and this homeless man was going to harass them all the time.
Just don't let them go.
It was just a tough bullshit plaster, but now it's not a tough bullshit plaster, it's a deadly dog skin plaster.
"Don't say it!"
Iron Nail, who didn't know how to solve this matter at all, his eyes were instantly filled with tears, and he said in a trembling voice with tears: "I beg you, don't tell anyone else if it's okay, I beg you." ”
"Please, we're willing to do whatever you want us to do."
At this time, she didn't know how to solve this matter except begging for mercy and crying.
Because of the pressure of life, I was forced to take on the role of a little adult, but I still don't know how to deal with the situation in front of me.
Let a little girl who should be in elementary school learn to apply for a fake certificate, which is not right.
A girl of this age should be innocent.
Instead of starting to try to break the rules and get some benefits that you don't deserve.
This is not something to do at this age.
And yet—
Seeing that the iron nail began to cry, the homeless man became even more excited, and kept shouting in a higher voice: "Hehe, someone has been caught making a fake certificate, come on, someone here has a fake certificate, come on, Uncle Police!" ”
"Don't roar!"
The nail sitting on the shoulder of the hammer finally couldn't control it anymore, and he cried loudly, not knowing what to do, and lay on his brother's head and cried loudly.
She knows.
From now on, all her hopes for the future have become a bubble.
Her new clothes are gone, and so are her brother's new clothes.
Even eating later may be a problem.
But at this moment.
I saw that Iron Hammer, who had been smirking, suddenly stretched out his right hand to grab the neck of this homeless man, and raised one hand in the air, looking at this homeless man who was struggling with his iron green body in mid-air, and frantically beating his arm, the smile on Iron Hammer's face became even stronger.
But there was extreme anger in his pupils.
He had never seen his sister so sad.
A person who made his sister so sad should be punished.
A few minutes later.
The homeless man gave up the struggle, and his body collapsed limply on the ground.
And the iron nail sitting on the shoulder of the hammer stiffened and looked a little frightened, and he couldn't say a word, he killed someone
This means that if they are caught, they will have to spend the rest of their lives in prison.
No way!
After quickly putting his emotions behind, Iron Nail quickly glanced around, making sure that there was no surveillance in this dark alley, and that no one had noticed what was going on.
I secretly made up my mind.
After 40 minutes.
Two people, a hammer and a nail, tied a stone to the corpse and threw it in the river.
The goddess of luck is watching over them.
Along the way, there was no surveillance or pedestrians for hundreds of meters from this alley to the river, and the hammer stuffed the homeless man's body into his clothes and brought him all the way to the river.
After returning home.
Iron Nails sat on the bench, boiled a pot of boiling water, and then looked at the wound on his brother's arm with a serious face.
"Brother, we must confess now, and be prepared in case the police find out about us."
"Although a homeless man, there is a high probability that he will not be filed."
"But before that, there is a more important thing, that is, the homeless man scratched your arm before he died, which is easy to attract attention, these scratches are too obvious, and they must be eliminated quickly."
"I'll use boiling water to burn both of your arms, it's not too serious, it's just a little painful."
"Brother, bear with me."
"I didn't think of other ways that were too good, brother, do you have any other way, if not, I'm ready to start doing it."
