Chapter 288 (1/2)

When walking with him in the village in the city, Fang Tianxing's expression is very dignified, as if looking at the old house severely burned by the fire. Xu Fan pointed to the dark and dirty interior of an Internet cafe, ”that's the place. In the morning, someone stopped moving and lost his breath.”

When passing the noodle shop on the side of the road, there was a smell that would make me nauseous. The landlady took out the swollen pork from the bucket, squatted on the ground, chopped it up, and threw it into the pot without turning her head. Fat chefs have never been expressionless. No matter what you order, they serve the same kind of sticky noodles, 4 yuan per bowl. The price has never gone up in ten years. Xu Fan said that they call it ”Mengpo soup”.

Those who can't extricate themselves from Internet cafes have their own reasons. Left behind children rely on their parents' guilt and get 1000 yuan a month for support. They only hope that they will come to adulthood later.

He expressed that ”it's so cool to live like this” by a series of dirty words. Even the owner of the Internet bar can't do anything about it.

Beside him, a migrant worker was staring at the photo of himself wearing red flowers and joining the army with honor, while singing a military song. When he told me that he had given up his military position for marriage but had been derailed, he held my shoulder and cried, ”brother, you don't know, I feel sad. What about the romance of those years? Where is it? ”

Xu Fan's reason is that he can't stand ”that kind of look.”. His parents divorced when he was young. When he went out to work at the age of 17, he envied others for being away from home and having trouble. However, he was alone and ran into walls everywhere.

”In the society, people are indifferent to each other. People don't look at you directly, but there is no such look in despair village.” Xu Fan said, ”everyone is in a leisurely and leisurely way. It seems that no one discriminates against me. There are no” senior people ”. It's like a vagrant who seems to find a home.”.

He had thought that the happy life in the village of despair would last forever, but half a year later, he found something in his heart had broken down quietly.

At first, they were willing to work in order to go to the Internet bar. After a long time, they were like a scrapped car, which was hard to start. ”There are still more than ten yuan left. Forget it and go online first. That's what we all think.”

A lot of people save money on the Internet. They only eat one meal a day and sell everything they can. I really didn't have any money, so I walked around the alley like a primitive man, hoping to meet acquaintances and help them out for five or ten yuan.

Xu Fan met a disabled man, one hand patting the keyboard to play ”underground city”. Everyone envied him and urged him to go begging. He had talent and didn't waste it, but he didn't even have the diligence to beg.

From sleeping on a cheap bed, Luo Qi also relaxed, sisters are no longer willing to work, just to chat, or simply fall asleep“ Basically hibernating all year round, I don't know why it's always like this. ” Luo Qi thought, ”is, also feel meaningless.”

Xu Fan has been quitting smoking for three months, but now he is squatting on the roadside again. A migrant worker waddled past us with slippers. He seemed to know Xu Fan, but no one said anything.

There is no such thing as friendship in despair village. For six years, Xu Fan didn't even know anyone's name. ”They are all walking corpses. No one wants to know someone else's name.”.

Fang Tianxing asked him: ”don't you feel afraid? Don't think about what to do after 40? Do you spend your life in such a negative way? ”
