Chapter 2 The Train to the South
Xia Yufeng walked aimlessly along the road, and at this time, her stomach kept screaming and her head was dizzy. She was probably a little hungry. He walked into a restaurant and planned to fill his stomach first. After coming out of the restaurant, looking at the dark night outside and thinking about the future, a sad breath surged up. For the first time, I felt a sense of fear. In the past, I always liked to go out alone and felt comfortable and unrestrained. However, now.
There are fewer and fewer lights on the street, and fewer and fewer people. On a lonely night, the empty street, Xia Yufeng was gradually left alone. The dim yellow street lamp lengthen his figure, and the moonlight spread a desolate and thin white veil for him, and everything seemed so natural.
There was a bridge in front of him. Xia Yufeng walked to it with great effort and got into the bridge hole through the light. He is so tired, really tired, doesn't think about anything, just wants to have a good sleep. He put his clothes on the pillow, curled up, and fell asleep... At this moment, he has no hatred, no love, nothing left.
"Oh..., wow..." There was a traffic on the bridge. Xia Yufeng slowly opened her eyes in the noise. It turned out that it was already dawn.
After he came out of his home yesterday, he has been thinking about how to go in the future. He is stubborn and extremely strong, and it is impossible for him to escape to his grandmother's house or other relatives to make him look pitiful. After thinking about it, there is no result. Maybe he has no choice now. Wandering is no longer a sad and empty word for him now. Xia Yufeng deeply understands that he is already homeless.
"Hey, Ah Qin is me. You can take the money to the water bridge immediately. The more the better. Don't ask the reason now. Come on, I'll wait for you." Now I have to borrow some money from A Qin and leave Z City. A Qin is Xia Yufeng's brother who grew up together. Xia Yufeng, who has no brothers or sisters, has always regarded him as his own brother. The day before returning home, Xia Yufeng called him. I wanted to play with him again today, but I didn't expect...
Hanging up the phone, Xia Yufeng was waiting for Aqin, the best brother. Now she can only look for him, not grandma. She doesn't want grandma to see her now, and she is full of wounds. I don't want her to worry about herself. Grandma is not in good health and doesn't want to stimulate her anymore. Although she will know sooner or later, how long she can hide it.
"Afeng, how to pull it?" After waiting for more than 20 minutes, A Qin came and brought his girlfriend Xiaofei. When they saw Xia Yufeng, they were surprised.
"How could this happen? Who hit you? Tell me"
"It's my father. He divorced my mother and had another woman, and now he kicked me out, hehe," Xia Yufeng smiled helplessly.
"Ah, your father, your father is too cruel to beat you like this, who are you, damn it. So what are you going to do now?"
"Yes, Feng, what are you going to do?" Xiaofei looked at Xia Yufeng's injury and asked with a worried face.
"Aqin, I want to go to Guangdong, find a job first, settle myself, and then find my mother. Oh, by the way, how much money did you bring?
"I only brought 700. I don't know why you want money. I thought you... So..."
"Enough, as long as you find a job, you can have a place to settle down and have food to eat. There are not many places to spend money." Xia Yufeng reached out to take over the 700 yuan handed over by A Qin.
"Aqin, thank you." Xia Yufeng looked at A Qin and suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Afeng, don't forget that we are the best brothers. You don't have to do this with me. When you get there, you can come to me if you have any difficulties.
Looking at the brother in front of him, Xia Yufeng felt sad and full of gratitude.
"Well, Aqin, my grandmother doesn't know my situation yet, and I don't want them to know my current situation. After I leave, if you want to tell me anything from grandma, I will give you my number and keep in touch. But don't tell them where I am, okay? So that they won't worry about me. All right, I'm leaving. Take care!" After saying that, Xia Yufeng hugged A Qin deeply.
"Don't worry, you should pay more attention there."
"Ye, go back, Xiaofei, I bless you"
Xia Yufeng boarded the bus to the railway station with his luggage. When the train started, his heart began to hurt so much. He knew that he no longer belonged here and forever.
The train started, and Xia Yufeng chose a window seat to sit down. I just came back here yesterday, but I have to leave today. Although I have no choice but to regret it. There is no home here, no mother who loves her, no grandmother who loves her, and there are endless pains. Looking at this familiar city, the familiar smell disappeared out of the window little by little, and there was indescribable acid in my heart. Opening the door of memory, happy and angry are clearly visible. Suddenly, I wanted to format them all like deleting files, but I couldn't move.
I couldn't sleep all night.
"The front is the terminal of this train, Shenzhen South. Please bring your belongings and get ready to get off the bus. I wish you a pleasant journey." Xia Yufeng leaned against the window and looked out of the window without focus. At this time, the news came to the station on the radio.
Out of the station, Xia Yufeng looked at the strange city in front of him and felt so confused. Only the gray sky looked at itself coldly. Looking up, the air condensed many emotions that he could not see through. It was like a net, which trapped himself in an instant, and Xia Yufeng's life began at this moment. There is no warning of the beginning that does not determine his will.
Lated at night, looking at the gorgeous neon lights outside the window and listening to the noisy sound of the street, a feeling of drifting was extremely strong. Empty room, a person, a strange city... This picture that can often be experienced in novels is now vividly placed in front of me, and life is really like a play.
In a blink of an eye, Xia Yufeng has been in Shenzhen for two days. I have been to several companies that posted recruitment information, and I have also been to the talent market but have not found a job. Either because he doesn't have a diploma or no work experience, these are expected to be disappointed and sad for Xia Yufeng, who has not yet graduated. What he has now is a heart that has just been poured into cold water and is eager to settle down.
"Aqin, I found a job, and now I have found a house and settled down."
"That's good. I've been worried about you. Now that you're fine, I'm relieved. I will help you pay attention to things at home."
"Aqin, thank you very much. Please take care of this number. Please contact me if you need anything. All right, I'm going to work. I'll hang up."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yufeng's brain was blank and her throat was choking. He said secretly: A Qin, how much I want to tell you about my current situation, how much I want you to help me share some of the stiff pain in my heart, but I still can't tell you in the end. S stubborn, I don't allow my inner weakness to be so real and frank in front of others. Now I don't have a mother and no home. I can't be stubborn all the time. I really can't.
Xia Yufeng's tears in the dark flowed silently and kept flowing...
Xia Yufeng, who ran around for a day without results, stood under the bus platform tiredly with a melancholy and lonely look. For him, this noisy city and the hurried crowd were so out of place for him at this time. My sadness has nothing to do with the pain of the busy people in this noisy city.
He watched people coming and going helplessly. He should have been anxious suddenly became extremely calm. Yes, calm, because he had even looked for factories and hotels, but still couldn't find a job that could accommodate him. Where else can he go? If he can't find a job, I'm afraid he will really fall on the street. This confusion numbs the sense of crisis, and the obscure is full of the bloody heart. The pain can no longer be called pain. It is more despair and double despair. In the face of despair, what else can it show besides calmness?
The chattering voice of several workers around him pulled Xia Yufeng back to reality in his meditation. He listened vaguely to their conversation. Suddenly, his memory began to turn white. Yes, he heard the familiar hometown dialect and thought he had completely forgotten it, but the memory really couldn't erase those things that once existed.
