C14 (1/2)
After leaving Circle Lake Park, Ye Qian did not go back to school. Instead, he was idling on the streets of Linhai. His tired body and legs that were sour like lead did not make Ye Qian feel any discomfort.
Unknowingly, the sun had already reached noon. Holding onto the small amount of money on his body, Ye Qian randomly ate a round of lunch before hurrying out of the small restaurant by the side of the road and continued to wander the streets.
Looking at the crowd on the street who were murmuring amongst themselves, Ye Qian suddenly revealed a wry smile.
The warm sun shone through his broken bangs, warm on his face. The dejected mood that had not yet been forcefully entered into the Nine Revolutions God Devil realm that was interrupted by Fang Miaoge instantly dissipated under the warm sunlight.
Calming himself down, Ye Qian stood at the side of the road. After hesitating for a while, he mumbled to himself: ”It seems like using the method of running to reach the limits of my body is still somewhat difficult, and it is also extremely easy to be interrupted by others. I have to change my way of thinking! ”
If the current Ye Qian was located deep in the mountains, then he could think of ten thousand ways to break through the limits of his body. Unfortunately, he was in the middle of a bustling mess, so it would be difficult for him to find an effective way to avoid harming the innocent.
Shaking, Ye Qian's footsteps suddenly stopped. Raising his head to look at the other side of the street, he suddenly revealed a happy smile.
Although it was only a second-rate city, the Linhai was very flourishing. The whole city is building a new city. Opposite Ye Qian was a construction site.
On the construction site, bare-chested construction workers were struggling to add tiles to the city.
Looking at the sweating workers, Ye Qian suddenly had a thought. He quickly walked towards the construction site.
The workers at the construction site were covered in layers of smoke and dirt. Their bodies were all grey, and looking at their labored steps, Ye Qian laughed. ”That's a good idea!”
He wandered around the construction site for a long time. At first, the group of construction workers didn't notice the young students who had suddenly appeared on the construction site.
However, as time passed, people would eventually pay attention to Ye Qian.
Two or three workers were sitting on the floor. On the floor were several enamel bowls filled with dusty food that must have been their lunch. One of the leading man who looked to be around 40 to 50 years old saw that Ye Qian was always hanging around and could not help but come up to ask.
”Child, who are you looking for? This is a construction site, which is very dangerous. If there's nothing else, you should leave this place as soon as possible! ”
Ye Qian smiled at the middle-aged man: ”Uncle, I'm not looking for someone! I'm looking for a job? ”
”Looking for a job?” The man was suspicious, as he sized up Ye Qian.
Very soon, the man waved his hand and said, ”Child, you'd better not find a job here. We have the dirtiest and most tiring jobs here. It's not suitable for you!”
Obviously, the man didn't think that the slim looking Ye Qian would be able to take on the job as a construction worker.
”Uncle, I'm a student of Linghai No.1 Middle School. Today is the weekend, so our teacher arranged a mission for us to come out and experience life. I happened to be passing by, so I wanted to give it a try. I am a volunteer, so I won't collect any wages! ”
Ye Qian had told a lie that was not too big, but it was harmless.
The man was astonished. His face changed as he complained, ”The teachers these days are really something. Students are pillars of the motherland. They should be studying in the school. How can they be allowed to do such a thing?”
”Uncle, what you said is wrong.” Students these days only knew how to read books about death. Each of them had a body worse than a child's. ”If I don't let them take exercise and enter society in the future, how will I be able to provoke them?”
The man smiled. A few wrinkles could clearly be seen between his brows. After all, in this modern society, students who were willing to come to the construction site to experience life were not right.
”Well, you're right. ”Since you are doing your duty and aren't getting paid, then I will be the host and let you experience it here for half a day.” The man chuckled.
”Thank you uncle, thank you uncle!”
”Don't call me uncle, my surname is Li, my name is Li Han.” Li Han said, then waved his hand at Ye Qian: ”Little brother, come with me, I have something to arrange for you.”
As he spoke, Li Han turned around and muttered, ”What a good child. In this society, there are not many who can bear the hardships of others!”
”Old Li, what's going on? Whose family is this child from? He looks pretty handsome. He can't be your illegitimate son, right?”
The workers who were sitting cross-legged on the ground teased Li Han.
Li Han immediately took a deep breath, ”Pah! Old Zhang, you can't spit out anything with ivory in your mouth!” If only I, Li Han, had a child like this who was studying in a high school. Unfortunately, I don't have this luck! ”This child came to experience life at our construction site. He said that it was a task for the school. Zhang Lao Si, don't talk nonsense!
Zhang Lao Si patted the dust off of his body and stood up: ”Hehe, Old Li, don't be discouraged. Don't you have a beautiful daughter in your family? In the future, you will definitely enjoy the blessings of being a daughter! ”
As he said that, Zhang Lao Si walked forward and took a sip of the cigarette in his hand, sizing Ye Qian up from head to toe.
”Old Li, would something happen to a child with such a frail body like this who works at our construction site?”
Without waiting for Li Han to speak, Ye Qian immediately said: ”Uncle Zhang, don't look at how thin I am, my bones are filled with muscles!”
Zhang Lao Si laughed out loud. ”Good, good boy, your mouth is quite sweet. Just because you called me uncle, this place will protect you! I won't let you suffer any grievances! ”
