Chapter 19: Eat Together
I took advantage of the darkness of the night to rummage into a house and steal a suit of clothes and a razor.
I got dressed and covered all my hair.
I shaved the long hairs off my face and turned them into stubble.
I put on my hat and looked like a human.
During the day, I walked through the crowd and no one noticed anything unusual.
There were even little yellow cards that sent me.
I looked at the woman scratching her head on the card, and thought of Lin Ming, the girl I loved.
I tucked the card into my arms and walked forward in silence.
I got a job as a cleaner.
Washing the floor, to be exact.
It is said that the leaders of the district moved to live in the villa, and they happened to take this road.
So the road became full of flowers, the lights were brilliant, and the asphalt road was clean without a trace of dust.
I'm going to clean the sidewalk next to the road, which is a cobblestone path.
Dense trees block the view, and the endless lights keep flickering.
Those who walk this path must have good eyes, otherwise they will be blind sooner or later.
I squatted on the ground, rubbing the pebbles, I didn't let go of every crevice, I made every pebble shine extraordinarily.
Because of this job, I was able to eat two meals.
Noon and evening.
The food is not good, but I am very satisfied, especially when I hear these people say that when this place is cleaned up, they will be paid thousands of yuan.
I am full of strength, and I finally have hope.
The sun was so dazzling during the day, my sweat flowed fast, and my beard grew fast, I picked up a mask and put it on to cover my hair;
The wind was so cold at night that I shrunk and had no place to shelter from the cold, so I could only endure it.
I think that when I have this 1,000 yuan, I will rent a small house to live in, and I can shave my hair every day and go out without wearing a mask every day.
At that time, I was a real person!
I polished the pebbles on the floor to a shiny finish, and every crevice was as clean as new.
A month later, my co-workers and I finally finished the job.
Everyone was eagerly awaiting, waiting for the payroll.
We waited and waited, waited for the sun to go down, waited for the street lights to open their eyes, and waited for the passing cars to disappear.
Still couldn't wait for the salary.
One of them was an old man of sixty or seventy years of age, gray-haired, dusty-faced, and his face had more wrinkles than a plucked apple.
He sighed for a long time: "Let's go, don't wait, there is no money." ”
The others, who were also not young, were silent, as usual, only picking up the snakeskin bag on the ground and leaving.
Anger welled up over my head.
Why?
We are conscientious and serious, we don't even have time to go to the toilet, and we have worked hard to complete the cleaning work, why don't we give money?!
I stood up suddenly, my silhouette overwhelmed by the night, my pupils flickering with resentment.
I said, "Don't go!" Go find him now! Ask for money! ”
These people were stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Young man, you are still young, you don't know the temper of this district chief, the last person who went to him to ask for money is still in the hospital, and he has to be served by others to eat, drink and Lazar."
You think you're unlucky......"
I turned my head violently, my teeth clenched, and my face was hideous: "You don't go, I'll go by myself!" ”
I let out a loud shout and walked forward.
"Wait!" The old man who spoke at the beginning stopped me: "Do you know how to go?" ”
I paused.
The old man's eyes were striking, and when he looked at me, it was as if he saw infinite hope.
He said, "I know where he lives, and I'll take you!" ”
He led the way in front, and a dozen of us marched forward.
Late at night, a group of shabby-dressed migrant workers wanted to do righteous things and get what belonged to us.
Migrant workers, what a beautiful word!
At least, at this moment, I am one of the migrant workers;
At least, in this moment, I'm human.
When we arrived at the door of the mayor's villa, he was sitting comfortably in a rocking chair in the courtyard drinking tea.
He has a fat head and big ears, a fat brain and intestines, and several layers of swimming rings on his belly.
When he saw us coming, he raised his eyebrows, spoke sharply, and shouted: "Where are the peasants? Don't stay at my doorstep, get out of here! Otherwise, I'll call the security guard! ”
I stepped forward, broke the iron fence with my bare hands, and walked towards him step by step.
He stared at two pin-nosed eyes, turned and ran into the room.
I caught up with him in three or two steps and pinned him to the ground.
"Pay back!" I let out a low roar.
"Nonsense, I don't even know you, how could I owe you money?"
The migrant workers behind me crowded forward and talked nonsense.
He finally understood the reason, and immediately made an indifferent expression.
"Whoever asks you for a job, you go to whoever asks for money, it has nothing to do with me! It's not the ground I asked you to wash.
What about contracts? Do you sign a contract? ”
Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.
He immediately said sarcastically: "If you dare to ask for money without a contract, even if you sue the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, you don't have to give you a penny!" ”
"It's not going to work......"
"Hmph," he snorted coldly, "I also said that you admired me and volunteered to clean the road." Okay, while I'm in a good mood now, you guys get out of here, don't delay my moon viewing Yaxing, otherwise when my guards come, I'll shoot you all one by one! ”
An old man tugged at my arm and whispered, "Forget it, let's go......"
"No way!" I glared angrily, "You have to give us the money!" Otherwise we wouldn't have gone! ”
"Little deflated calf, if you have the strength, you dare to be a hero in front of Lao Tzu! There are things that my mother has and doesn't have to raise my mother, and I don't inquire, I ......."
Before he could finish his sentence, his head burst open like a watermelon.
He paid the price for his arrogance and ignorance!
Blood and brains flew together, red and yellow, slimy liquid and colored lights.
Anger has left me sane, and I hate it when someone mentions my mother!
He has broken my taboo!
I subconsciously licked the slime off my hand.
A hunger and thirst that grew from within my body drove me, tormented me, and ravaged me.
A voice looped in my head.
'Delicious, delicious, delicious, delicious......'
I crimson in my eyes, crouched down, and felt a little sorry when I saw the blood of my brain scattered everywhere.
I opened my mouth, my sharp teeth slashing his throat and eating the flesh as I could.
Fragrant! It smells so good!
After living for so long, it's the first time I've eaten something so fragrant.
The people in the villa probably heard the noise, and the lights outside suddenly turned on.
Illuminated a ground of blood, and me.
My hands were holding his heart, and I was eating happily.
The transparent floor-to-ceiling windows reflected my hideous appearance and also reflected the frightened look of a woman.
The workers who came with me craned their necks and hugged each other like quails.
The smell of urine spreads.
I regained some consciousness, stopped eating my heart, turned my head and asked, "Would you like to eat together?" ”
