I was wondering if that skinny man would beat me up in front of those dirty kids¡ªlike all the bosses in the cottage, he would give the newcomer a big blow.
However, he ignored me.
He began the lecture at the beginning of the day.
The children stood obediently, one by one, because of malnutrition, some of them could not stand upright anyway, and they were crooked.
He spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground with a "pop", and continued to lecture.
"Remember what I said, you have to change places every day, don't always fish for food in one place, or you will be caught by the police. You must return everything you get, and you are not allowed to hide things privately. Whoever dares to disobey the lecture, be careful what I put Make him a rat!"
No one said anything. A child sniffled, and the whistling sound was contagious, and several children made the sniffling sound.
He bent down and opened the cloth bag at his feet, and took out steamed buns for everyone, one for each. Those who got the steamed buns were kicked on the buttocks and kicked to the door. After falling down, they got up quickly and ran out.
Some people moved slowly, so they walked out together with the people behind while eating steamed buns.
The boss immediately scolded: "I just have no memory, how many times have I told you, go out one by one, don't whisper to each other after going out, don't let the police think you are a gang, go your own way, no one knows anyone!"
When they were all gone, he held the last steamed bun and shook it in front of my eyes. My stomach growled. Seeing his appearance, he was not going to give it to me, so I swallowed my saliva.
He said: "You can't eat without working, right? You should study first today!"
"What do you want me to do? I am a three-good student, and I will not do bad things."
"Three good students? Why did three good students run away from home? You little bastards, you got impatient with being spoiled by your parents at home, so run out."
"I'm not the spoiled type!"
"I don't care if you are! Since it came out and fell into the hands of my brother Qiang, you are no longer you, but a mouse."
"I'm not a mouse!"
"You country bumpkin, you are probably different from them. If you dare to fish the world, you deserve to fall into my hands. With me, stop talking nonsense, there is no such thing as a bad word!"
He grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the door. The white sunlight dazzled me so much that I couldn't keep my eyes open.
"You still carry a schoolbag? What a burden!"
Without any difficulty, he tore the schoolbag off me, threw it into the dark room, and locked the door.

We came to the square in front of the train station.
This place where people come and go feels as big as the entire Fengzhen.
The sun is just above the head, and the sun is so dazzling that people can't open their eyes. When you lower your head, you can't even find your own shadow; when you raise your head, there are flashes of light everywhere. There is a lot of traffic on the viaduct in the distance.
There is a buzzing sound, which seems to be very far away, but also very close. It is the sound of this big city, which is formed by the convergence of countless voices.
It's like water and milk powder, puffing agent, sugar and other unpalatable things, mixed together and processed at low temperature, it becomes an extremely delicious ice cream.
The sound of cars, people, trembling viaducts, advertisements, and countless other sounds
They come from all directions, blended into a sound of ice cream, some sweet, but not thirst-quenching; far away, like the sound of a river in a dream.
I was drowsy and felt light on my feet.
All people and things have a kind of light that surrounds them.
Those people surrounded by light move very quickly and disappear in a while. In the blink of an eye, another person is replaced in that position just now.
All men are alike, and so are pretty ladies.
Oh, the ladies in town are so pretty you can't tell who's who.
People come and go, they are like in a movie.
The streets outside the square are full of cars, too many. This is the first time I have seen so many cars, densely packed together, of all kinds, mainly black and gray.
Probably a certain intersection ahead was blocked, they walked very slowly, even slower than humans, slow and helpless.
Golden Retriever is the name I give to my boss now, I will never call him Brother Qiang.
He pulled me towards him.
His mouth is very large, and the corners of the mouth have been drawn to the cheeks. When he opened his mouth, it showed a mouth full of sharp, smelly yellow teeth.
He has a flattering smile on his face, thatEveryone is strong If you are disobedient, I will really kill you! "
He changed hands and turned to grab my shoulder, but his eyes were fixed on the tall and round-bellied northern man, worried that the target would suddenly disappear and the opportunity would be lost.
I suddenly had an idea: "Brother Qiang, it's better for you to go, I have never done it, and I will definitely fail. You should go, huh? Let me watch the wind, you explain the location of the joint, after you finish, I will be in the place you designated The place is waiting for you"
He jumped up: "Shit! Little man! Want to run? No way! Let me tell you, I usually don't do it myself, I'm the boss."
He swallowed his saliva: "With you rats, do I still have to do it myself? I'm already the boss, no matter how you say it, I'm at least a senior executive, understand? Si Laozi, you pretend to be stupid, I won't let you go." Pass you!"
After a short break, he said again: "Besides, the police don't pay attention to children. Even if you are arrested, you are easily let go. Adults are different. If I always do it myself, I will go in early"
He was anxious and unwilling, and at the same time, worried that the northern man's companion would appear at this time and take him away.
This is really a good opportunity, and there must be a lot of valuable things in the box, and there may even be a lot of banknotes. I heard that many bosses in the north use their suitcases to carry money to the south to do business.
"But I can't do it, I will be found out, and you will be exposed too."
