The Big Landlord

The running figure in front is the follower from childhood, that Xiaohui who lost both palms due to an accident, that Wang Ben searched for a whole week but found nothing, but no matter how much he yelled, the footsteps ahead refused to stop. On the contrary, the faster and faster it is, the more urgent it is.

"Don't you dare to ask for money in public? Why don't you even dare to see me!" Wang Ben hurried to catch up, shouting loudly while running.

The pace ahead still did not stop, and he continued to curse angrily: "Don't you want to come out and fight, aren't you unwilling to rely on others, don't you can't stand being looked down upon by others, don't you want to live a good life, just come out Do this, where is your self-esteem gone!"

The figure trembled a few times, and finally stopped slowly, turned around slowly, lowered his head deeply, and panted heavily.

When he came to the figure, Wang Ben took a look in disbelief. His clothes were ragged, his face was covered with dirt, his hair was disheveled, and his beard was unshaven. Is this still Xiaohui from before?

"Book..." Xiaohui raised his head slightly, his eyes flickered, and after a low cry, he buried it deeply again.

Wang Ben didn't make a sound, he bit his lips tightly, walked forward, opened his arms and hugged the thin body tightly.

There is no reason for many things to happen, and the trajectory of many lives is unimaginable. No matter what route he chooses, the relationship between friends will remain the same for a lifetime.

Following Xiaohui's footsteps and walking forward slowly, Wang Ben was no longer as excited as before, and Xiaohui was much calmer.

"You must be curious why I did this," Xiaohui said with a self-deprecating chuckle and very calmly.

Wang Ben smiled irrefutably, he was not easy to ask, he didn't want to ask, and he didn't want to ask, Xiaohui would say what he had to say.

"I can't explain why I set foot on this road," Xiaohui said slowly, shaking his head twice, "I came to Guangzhou alone and wanted to find a job, but no one wanted me, and I had nowhere to go. At that time, a group of people like me took me in and led me into this industry. They sold newspapers every morning, and then squatted around the bus station and train station. .”

"So many people, how many cents can we get?" Wang Ben frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously. When he was at the station just now, most of the bowls in front of the row of beggars were empty, and some were basically cents and dimes. ticket.

"It's not bad. It's better than working part-time. If you're lucky and meet a few people who spend a lot of money like you just now, you can earn hundreds of dollars a day," Xiaohui said slowly, and chuckled lightly, as if laughing at himself. Like making fun of Wang Ben.

"Don't you feel embarrassed?" Wang Ben asked puzzledly, looking at Xiaohui's calm face.

"In the beginning, whenever someone came to give money, he would cover his face, but then he became numb," Xiaohui said slowly, biting his lower lip.

"Come back with me, instead of asking someone else to ask for it, don't ask me for it," Wang Ben said with a deep breath and earnestly.

"Don't persuade me, like now, at least I still feel that I am not a useless person, and I can make some contributions to my family. Although I am trying to win the sympathy of others, everything is voluntary," Xiaohui shook his head lightly, He rejected Wang Ben's kindness again, but his tone was still firm.

Wang Ben did not continue to persuade. In many cases, personal wishes cannot be imposed on others. No matter what he does, as long as he thinks it is valuable.

In front of a low bungalow,

This is where Xiaohui lives. In a single room of eight or nine square meters, there are five or six low beds. Encounter, a group of people who are doing the same thing now.

The room was fairly clean, and it was decorated warmly. In this foreign land, they could still find comfort in each other's hearts.

Xiaohui pointed to one of the beds, and said calmly: "The person who sleeps here is also a young man. His family used to live on the edge of the city, and his life was still very prosperous. Later, the land was confiscated to build a house, and the compensation for the accident occurred. There is not enough medical expenses, no land and no living security, so I have to come out to do this business.”

Yes, the land is like a farmer's hand. Without the land, it's like the farmer's hands have been cut off, and he can only beg for food in this city.

Pointing to another bed, Xiaohui continued: "The person who lives here is a middle-aged man. His family background is similar to yours. Although he is not as brilliant, he is still very good. Now he can only do this."

Wang Ben smiled lightly and didn't make a sound. If he wasn't in Xiushui Bay, he might be the same as Xiaohui now, or even worse.

Xiaohui took off his sloppy "work clothes" and put on clean clothes again. He regained his former demeanor and became that familiar shadow again.

"Come with me to find a hotel, let's have a good chat, and by the way, I invite you to have a toothbrush," Wang Ben suggested with a slight smile.

"No, I'm afraid I'll miss that luxurious life, the influence of big wine and big meat, and I won't be able to save money in the future," Xiaohui said with a chuckle, "How about my arrangement for today's lunch?"

"Okay!" Wang Ben fully agreed.

An ordinary small restaurant, a plate of simple vegetarian dishes, a small plate of meat dishes, some meat stars can be seen faintly, and if there is less oil, they are filled with salt, which is a bit salty in the mouth. This is their lunch.

"If you hadn't come, I wouldn't come here to eat. I usually go to a street stall to eat a bowl of plain noodles for 50 cents," Xiaohui smiled calmly, took out the tableware he was carrying with him from his pocket, and grabbed a handful of it. The steel fork that belonged to him was skillfully put in the rubber ring on his arm, and he began to eat with big mouthfuls.

Wang Ben smiled faintly, and quietly accompanied Xiaohui to enjoy this lunch. It was beautiful and comfortable in Xiushui Bay, with no worries about food and clothing, and there was nothing wrong with experiencing this kind of life occasionally.

After lunch, Xiaohui left. He didn't talk much and didn't know where to take Wang Ben, so he simply went back to busy with his affairs.

Finding a hotel, Wang Ben plans to stay one more night. Even if he doesn't have to meet Xiaohui, he still wants to stay in this strange city. A silent guardianship can also bring comfort to the soul.

Before the first dawn came in the early morning, I packed my bags and went to Xiaohui's busy place again, next to a simple newspaper stand outside the station.

Two bare arms waved, separated the newspapers one by one, and then re-folded them into one by one, and then they could be sold, and they could earn 20 cents for each one sold.

"Take care, remember to go back to Xiushuiwan."

Patted on the shoulder and sincerely asked a few words, turned around and left quickly, there was no need to mention many things and words.

After calling Li Erwa in Dongguan and telling them that they had been found, so that they could continue working with peace of mind, Wang Ben set foot on his way home.

Continue to toss and turn all the way, and finally return to Xiushui Bay at the last moment of sunset, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun.

The door of Wu Yulan's small shop was ajar, Benben was bolting on the doorknob and humming, mobs were flying back and forth in mid-air, Linglong must be eating snacks in the shop to satisfy her hunger, Wang Ben stepped forward with hands and feet go.

"I am back!"

With a loud cry, he rushed to the door, ready to give Linglong a big surprise.

There was no one in the shop, what a waste of expression.

Looking around along the small shop, there is still no one. Where did this go? The door is not locked, so there is no fear of being stolen.

"Shua!"

After standing still for two minutes, a white light flashed, and two figures, one big and one small, appeared in the shop out of thin air.

sky! Linglong actually took Wu Yulan to the space.
