The old man returned to the house, picked up a bowl of wine, and drank a few sips of "Goo Dong, Goo Dong", and the bowl of wine was basically bottomed out.

He picked up a piece of meat, stuffed it into his mouth, took another piece of bread, and ate it in a big gulp.

He suddenly remembered something, turned around and went to the outhouse, took an equally stained lunch box, poured the vegetables in the basin into part of the lunch box, picked up nearly half of the flatbread, and put it back in a plastic bag.

He sat down steadily, drank one bowl of wine, brought another bowl of wine, and began to eat and drink.

People who often drink alcohol know that there are two kinds of people who drink alcohol, one kind of people drink urgent wine, just like the old man, a few sips of wine can drink a bowl of wine; One kind of person drinks slow wine, and a bowl of wine can be drunk all day.

The old man belongs to the person who drinks in a hurry, so it can be seen that this is a person who is more anxious.

He ate and drank, and soon drank up the two bowls of wine, and the flatbread left on the table was also stuffed into his mouth as quickly as he could.

When he picked up the vegetable basin, drank the vegetable soup, and used chopsticks to put all the leftovers in the basin into his mouth, and ate it fragrantly, he heard someone behind him: "You have eaten it all." ”

The old man was frightened, and when he looked back, Xiao Hei was standing at the door of the room, with a little disappointment in his expression.

"Where did you go?" The old man put down the vegetable pot and got up to greet him.

"I didn't find a toilet." Xiao Hei smiled when he saw the lunch box and the flatbread in the plastic bag.

There is no need for the old man to be humble, Xiao Hei sat down at the table, opened the lunch box, took out the flatbread and ate it.

The old man wiped the grease stains from his mouth, burped, and asked Xiao Hei, "Have a drink." ”

"I don't drink." Xiao Hei only cared about eating, and didn't have the heart to look up at the old man, he was very hungry.

The old man didn't talk nonsense, he took the wine barrel, poured a bowl of wine for Xiao Hei and said, "Drink some wine and sleep well." ”

The old man put the wine bowl in front of Xiao Hei, he took out a cigarette and lit one, smoking with relish, and looked at Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei eats, and he is always embarrassed. He was about to eat all the food in the lunch box before he remembered the bowl of wine.

He picked up the wine bowl, drank a bowl of wine in one gulp, put down the wine bowl, and riveted the food again.

Oops, I didn't see it, this kid has a lot of alcohol.

The old man was surprised, took the wine barrel again, and poured a bowl of wine for Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei didn't stop him, he ate the last bit of food into his mouth, picked up the wine bowl, drank it in the same gulp, and then wiped his mouth and said to the old man, "I'm full." Whatever you want, just ask. ”

The old man Gaba clicked his mouth a few times, but didn't squeeze out a word.

Seeing that Xiao Hei was a little wilted, he said, "Sleepy, you sleep first, I'll go out to do something." What's the matter, I'll talk about it when you wake up. ”

The old man walked out of the house, got on a tricycle, and left Shandong Tun.

Passing by the vegetable market, he bought another flatbread and took half a catty of pig's head meat, and then rushed all the way to the hospital and walked into the ward.

The man who was kicked in the crotch of his pants by Xiao Hei last night was lying on the hospital bed with his bare ass.

"Brother, what's wrong?" The old man asked.

"See for yourself." The man who was called the elder brother by the old man lifted the quilt, and his crotch was wrapped in a large piece of gauze.

"What did the doctor say?" The old man helped the old brother cover the quilt, rolled the pig's head meat into the flatbread and handed it over.

"If it's not good, I'll cut off the seed in my life." Although the elder brother was depressed, his appetite did not diminish at all, so he took the flatbread and rolled the pig's head, and stuffed it into the sea.

"Don't be afraid, I'll give that kid a gelding when I get back." The old man took out his cigarette, thinking that this was a ward, and was not allowed to smoke. He walked out of the room, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath.

A man who was also unkempt and unkempt hurried upstairs. When he saw the old man, he nodded first and said, "Master Han, what's wrong with Si'er." ”

"The money has been received." The old man threw away the cigarette fart in his hand and stretched out his hand.

The visitor took out a stack of pleated banknotes from his pocket, licked his fingers on his tongue, and began to count the money and said, "The money of Liuzi and Changshun has not been paid yet." ”

"What do they want?" The old man's eyes widened, and he was about to lose his temper.

"They said, I'll send you home in the evening." Seeing that the old man was angry, the visitor immediately became nervous, and respectfully handed over the counted money.

The old man took the money, put it in his pocket, and said, "Go back and tell them to take the guy to me in the evening." ”

Someone who came had the heart to ask why, but when he saw the horizontal flesh on the old man's face, he collapsed tightly, and he didn't dare to say more.

The old man smoked enough cigarettes outside the ward, and when he returned to the ward, he saw that his brother had eaten enough, so he walked around the room and left.

The old man got on his tricycle and went straight home.

Before getting out of the car, he took out a sharp knife from the car, pinned it in his arms, took a few breaths into the house, and strode into the house.

Immediately afterwards, he trotted out again, looked around, and scolded: "Mother, me again." ”

The old man thought that Xiao Hei was sleeping in the house.

He broke into the house and wanted to do something while Hei was sleeping, but when the house was empty, Hei disappeared.

The people around, no one knew the name of the old man, and they all respectfully called him Han Ye.

Han Ye's hometown is in Henan, he was released from prison in 1977, and he was unwilling to stay in his hometown to farm, so he walked all the way from his hometown to the northeast alone.

He first made a living by picking up rags, and then because he played martial arts for a few days in elementary school, he liked to fight unevenly, and gathered a group of blind streamers from Shandong, Hebei, and Henan together.

They nominally make a living by picking up rags, but in fact, they do everything by stealing chickens and dogs, and when they encounter trouble, Han Ye is responsible for settling it.

In fact, they have become an organized gang, and Han Ye is their boss.

There are several gangs like Han Ye in the provincial capital.

Some of them are responsible for organizing stevedores and making money by loading and unloading trucks for various freight yards and individual industrial and commercial households, while others are headed by a few local land-dependents who are registered in the local area to occupy the transportation of various construction raw material markets, such as sand and cement transportation.

Don't look at Han Ye's dress as a flower child, he commanded all the people in the provincial city who picked up rags, and gave these people a strict rule that they must pay him ten yuan a day for protection.

Han Ye's protection fee is not collected in vain, who is in trouble, he really helps.

The fourth son lying in the hospital is a distant relative of Han Ye, and is mainly responsible for collecting protection money from Han Ye.

He also dresses up as a flower child all day long, and while collecting protection money, he picks up some rags and sells them for money.

Last night he was in the garden in the middle of the street and saw Xiao Hei sleeping on a bench. From the dust on his black face and dirty clothes, he knew that this was a young man named Hanako. He wanted to forcibly rip off Xiao Hei's clothes and pants, but he didn't expect to meet Heng Er, and was kicked into the hospital by Xiao Hei.

Han Ye got the news, searched all the way, and sure enough, he found Xiao Hei.

After most of the day's contact, Han Ye decided that this kid must have been involved in a lawsuit and ran out to take refuge.

Although he didn't ask Xiao Hei who his surname was and where his family lived. With Xiao Hei's Northeast dialect and simple and down-to-earth character, Han Ye has full confidence that even if Xiao Hei is injured or killed, no one will report the case for him.

It's a pity that he was still run away by Xiao Hei.

Most of the people who picked up rags in the provincial capital rented Shandong Tun, which was ordered by Han Ye to live here in order to collect protection money for convenience.

Of course, there are also a few people who can find some excuses to live in other places, as long as they can pay the protection fee on time, Han Ye doesn't want to embarrass them.

Han Ye went home and didn't find Xiao Hei, so he stayed at the entrance of the village, and gave an order to the tattered people who came back one after another, if you see a little boy who is not tall and less than twenty years old, he is also picking up rags, it is best to bring him back, if he can't bring it back, he must find out his foothold.

Han Ye is ruthless, he must take Xiao Hei to open the knife, so that all his subordinates know that the protection fee is not in vain, and if he is bullied, Han Ye will definitely help.

Han Ye went home and slept all night, and early the next morning, he got on a tricycle and went out for a walk again.

This is his main business every day, in the name of collecting rags, patrolling the provincial capital, beware of new people who come to pick up rags and rob him of his business.

He rode a tricycle out of Shandong Tun, and saw a person standing in the bus stop from a distance, judging from the silhouette of his body, it seemed to be the kid who ran out of his house yesterday.

He pedaled a few times and came to the bus stop, and sure enough, Xiao Hei was waiting for the bus.

Holy shit, this kid is guts.

He ducked aside and watched Blackie.

Xiao Hei washed his face and his clothes were clean, where is this kid going.

After all, Han Ye is an old fritter who has been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, he doesn't dare to do anything to Xiao Hei in broad daylight, and he can't watch Xiao Hei escape from under his nose again.

Just before Han Ye could figure out a way to leave Xiao Hei, the bus came, and Xiao Hei got on the bus.

Hey!

Han Ye was in a hurry, he kicked up the tricycle and chased the bus that Xiao Hei was riding all the way.

Xiao Hei sat in the car and accidentally saw Han Ye. He couldn't help but smile and waved his hand to greet Han Ye.

Han Ye is so angry in his heart!

You little rabbit is so rampant that when I catch you, I have to pick your skin.

Xiao Hei learned from Han Ye that in Shandong Tun, he could rent a house for twenty yuan.

He calculated that the house Zheng Juan rented, with a fish pond, was only 1,500 yuan a year.

After thinking about it, he urgently needed a temporary residence now, so it was better to spend twenty yuan to rent a house here temporarily, live for a while, and then make plans when he had money.

Xiao Hei borrowed his urethra and walked around the village, and saw a sign on the door of the house with a rental house.

There lived a young couple who also made a living by picking up scraps.

They rented a whole house, a house and a half. There was a small house next to it, and the owner rented it out for ten dollars a month.

Xiao Hei laughed when he heard the price.

He still has less than a hundred dollars in his pocket, so he rents this small house and buys another set of bedding, and there is still something left. He gave the landlord ten yuan, agreed to pay the rent, and paid the room on time every month.

Xiao Hei rented the house, returned to Han Ye's house, ate and drank, returned to his residence, and slept all night.

He borrowed a washbasin from his landlord early in the morning, washed himself first, and then drove to the city, all the way to the wholesale market, where he worked as a temporary worker.

Finding loading and unloading jobs in the provincial capital is not as easy as Qiming Town. He needs to find a middleman who will introduce him to a job.

Xiao Hei didn't know that the so-called middleman was actually the boss of the industry monopoly, and he needed to pay an intermediary fee first.

Xiao Hei didn't have a few dollars left in his pocket, and it was impossible for him to take out the money to pay the intermediary fee.

"When I have a job to do, will I give it to you?" Blackie bargains with someone.

"Get out!" The intermediary did not give him a chance at all.

Without an intermediary, the owner of the individual transport did not dare to hire him. Xiao Hei waited all morning at the wholesale market, but couldn't find a job.

There was no work, so I went elsewhere.

Xiao Hei found that near the wholesale market, there was a construction site. When he went to the construction site, he explained his intentions when the steward pushed him away and said, "I don't dare to hire child labor." ”

"I'm twenty." Xiao Hei is talking nonsense, that is to open his mouth to come.

The steward will prove it to him.

"If you have a job, I'll earn some pocket money temporarily, and forget it if you don't have a job." Xiao Hei couldn't show a certificate, and he didn't dare to explain his true identity, he turned around to leave.

"Wait a minute." The steward looked Xiao Hei up and down and asked, "What can you do?" ”

Xiao Hei glanced around and saw that there was a truck loaded with a truckload of cement and had just stopped.

"I can unload a truckload of cement by myself." Xiao Hei's words made the steward happy.

"You can unload this truck of cement in forty minutes, and I'll give you two hundred yuan." The steward is purely to make fun of Xiao Hei, knowing that Xiao Hei's body is bone, and he can't carry a few bags of cement, so he can get tired and lie down.

"Let's talk." Xiao Hei was serious.

"What if you can't unload a truckload." The person in charge didn't expect Xiao Hei to get serious.

"I can't unload a truckload, I don't want a penny." Xiao Hei is also unambiguous.

The steward shook his head and said, "You go quickly, I don't have time to play with you." ”

The steward's beckoner to unload the cement.

Xiao Hei was anxious, he stopped the steward and said, "I can't unload a truckload of cement, I'll give you a week of work for nothing, let me do anything." ”

This sentence is so powerful.

At that time, most of the construction sites were built by state-owned construction companies. There is a clear division of labor, and people in each type of work are reluctant to work across types of work.

It is impossible for a bricklayer to do a job like loading and unloading cement, and a scaffolding worker does not want to suffer from this burden.

The stewards can only find stevedores temporarily, no matter who they find, if they don't pay enough wages, they will definitely not do it, even if they are forced to do it, they are slow grinders.

Therefore, those in charge can only find temporary workers.

Being able to meet a half-sized kid like Xiao Hei, who doesn't know the height of the sky, is equivalent to saving a sum of wages for the steward.

How to save it, let's move on.

"Let's talk about the ugly things in front first, you can't do it, don't force it. I'm tired, I'm not responsible. "The steward took advantage of the situation and made an appointment with Xiao Hei for three chapters.

"It's none of your business to be tired." Xiao Hei knew it in his heart, and he was quite tough when he spoke.

A lenient policy given to the steward by his superiors, he had the power to hire temporary workers for 300 yuan a day.

Today, there are two jobs for foreign workers, one is to unload sand and the other is to unload cement.

The sand is loaded with dump trucks, so there is no need to unload them manually. If Xiao Hei can unload this truck of cement, even if the manager gives him 200 yuan, there will be 100 yuan left.

The most important thing is Xiao Hei's promise, he can't unload this car of cement, and he wants to stay and be a temporary worker for free for a week.

The person in charge is completely in the heart of the game, and he has fun with Xiao Hei.

He said hello and called four people, two people got into the car and moved cement for Xiao Hei, and two people stayed in the warehouse and were responsible for helping Xiao Hei unload the cement from his shoulders.

A large truck with eight tons of cement had to be carried back and forth by Xiao Hei alone, and there was a distance of less than ten meters in the middle, so it was impossible for Xiao Hei to finish this work.

I heard that there was a half-old child who came to talk to the steward and asked him to unload a truck of cement by himself.

People "hula" around as if they were watching a monkey show.

A few people took the initiative to take off their aprons and dust hats and arm Xiao Hei to make this game look more formal.

Xiao Hei was not ambiguous, he took off his padded jacket, put on a dust hat, draped his apron over his shoulders, spread his legs, and stood in front of the car.

"I've got you shouldered." The two unloading people shouted at Xiao Hei, thinking that Xiao Hei would definitely be frightened when he heard this sound.

"Come on." Xiao Hei's legs were slightly spread out, ready to receive the goods.

The person who unloaded the car glanced at the steward, and the steward smiled, and a bag of cement "whirred" on the ground and landed on Xiao Hei's shoulder.

Blackie stood there steadily.

Yo, okay, another bag.

Another bag of cement fell, and Xiao Hei was still standing.

"Why don't you leave?" The steward was in a hurry, he was afraid that Xiao Hei would not be able to bear the weight, so he threw the cement on the ground and scattered it.

"Again." Xiao Hei's voice was crisp, and he wanted two more bags of cement.

A bag of cement weighs 100 catties, and four bags of cement fall on Xiao Hei's shoulders.

"One more bag." Xiao Hei's words shocked everyone and angered the steward.

"I said you......" The steward, fearing that there would be a mess, waved his hand to signal people to come forward and remove the cement from Xiao Hei's shoulder.

No one moved, they wanted to see the final result.

The two unloading people tentatively put another bag of cement on Xiao Hei's shoulder, and Xiao Hei turned around and ran.

He trotted all the way to the storeroom, shook his shoulders slightly, and threw five bags of cement to the ground.

"Tap." The steward's follow-up came, and when he saw that the little black face did not change color, he easily ran back all the way.

In this way, Xiao Hei smiled all the way, and in less than forty minutes, he easily unloaded eight tons of cement.

"Are you alright?" The steward looked Xiao Hei up and down with a strange gaze.

Xiao Hei palms up, smiling and saying, "Give money." ”

Xiao Hei earned 200 yuan at a time, and was led to the bath by the steward and took a bath for free.

Before parting, the steward told him, "If you want, you can come to my construction site every day." ”

Xiao Hei was very happy, he went to the store to buy a set of bedding, and bought himself an elbow and eight steamed buns, all the way back to Shandong Tun, ready to eat a good meal, and continue to go to the construction site tomorrow to earn money.

How did he know, Han Ye already knew his whereabouts.

A bloody case is being plotted.
