Uncle Six looked at Ye Han who was all wet, picked up a towel and threw it over, frowning and said: "Wipe it first."
After saying that, Uncle Liu picked up the dry tobacco bag, squatted on the ground and started smoking, staring at the red tobacco leaves in the pot, with a layer of melancholy on his face.
Ye Han took the towel, wiped it casually a few times, and walked to Uncle Six. Seeing Uncle Six's expression, he knew something was wrong, so he asked, "Uncle Six, where is my sister?"
Uncle Liu was a long-time smoker and a heavy smoker. He glanced sideways at Ye Han but did not answer. He just squatted there and continued to smoke his pipe. Because he did not know how to answer Ye Han's question.
"Uncle Six!" Ye Han became anxious and snatched the tobacco pouch from Uncle Six's hand, "Where's Ye Qing?"
"You little brat, your wings are stiff. Do you dare to snatch your Uncle Six's tobacco pouch? Bring it!" Uncle Six's tobacco pouch, which he had always regarded as a treasure, was suddenly snatched away. He felt very unhappy and stood up directly, spreading his hands.
In front of Ye Han, he said angrily.
Ye Han knew Uncle Liu's temper, so he put the hand holding the tobacco bag behind his back and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "Uncle Six, you can smoke if you want, but you have to tell me where Ye Qing is?"
"I wish I knew where she is!" Uncle Six sneered, clasped his hands behind his back, walked into the hall, pulled a stool over, sat down there, and took it out of his pocket
A box of cigarettes came, he took out one and stuffed it into his mouth, then he struck a match and lit the cigarette. He only took a puff, and then he put the cigarette in his hand on the ground and couldn't help but cursed: "It's a dog day."
It has no taste at all, and it’s so expensive?”
Seeing this, Ye Han knew that Uncle Liu was used to smoking cigarettes, and the taste of cigarettes was too light to be used to smoking. He walked to Uncle Liu, handed over the cigarette bag he had just snatched, and said: "Uncle Six
, you still smoke this! What did you mean by what you just said?"
Uncle Liu took the cigarette bag and took a puff of the cigarette first before saying, "What do you mean? You are a college student and you don't even understand what an old man like me means?"
"Uncle Six, are you saying that you don't know where Ye Qing is?"
Uncle Liu was smoking a cigarette and said, "After your mother passed away, Ye Qing left the village and never came back again."
Ye Han felt uncomfortable after hearing this. His mother passed away and his sister disappeared. All of this was his fault.
Uncle Liu glanced at Ye Han and saw a cloud on Ye Han's face, and said, "But Shan Wazi has met Ye Qing once..."
"Where did you meet?" Ye Han asked hurriedly.
"Donghai City."
"Donghai City? Why is she going to Donghai City?" Ye Han thought to himself.
"How do I know? Shan Wazi worked as a decorator and stayed in Donghai City for a while. He came back during the Chinese New Year last year. He said he met Ye Qing in Donghai City." Uncle Six finished smoking a pack of cigarettes and picked up the cigarette bag.
Lifting one foot, he knocked out the ash from the cigarette pot, then placed the cigarette bag on the table next to him and said slowly.
Ye Han stopped talking. He didn't know why his sister Ye Qing went to Donghai City, but now that he knew Ye Qing was in Donghai City, he had to find her. The Spring Festival was only two months ago.
There should be a high chance that Ye Qing will stay in Donghai City.
Donghai City is Ye Han's sad place. He grew up here and fell down here. Now, he has to get up again where he fell to get back everything he has lost over the years. At the same time, he also has to find him.
sister.
"Uncle Six, I will stay here for one night today and leave at dawn tomorrow to go to Donghai City. If I don't find Ye Qing, I will resent myself for the rest of my life." Finally, Ye Han made the final decision and decided to return to Donghai City.
Go to Donghai City, that materialistic city.
"Well, let's go. This place isn't worth wasting your youth. It's better to go out and have a try. Shan Wazi is about the same size as you. You go to Shan Wazi's house to find a random set of clothes to change into. I'll let your aunt go.
Let me cook for you." Uncle Six stood up slowly and walked towards the kitchen.
Shan Wazi is the son of his sixth uncle, named Ye Shan, who is a few years younger than Ye Han. Ye Han entered Shan Wazi's room, opened the closet, and randomly selected a set of more decent clothes to change into.
Later, Ye Han had dinner at Uncle Liu's house and slept in Ye Shan's room.
That night, there was lightning and thunder outside, a violent storm, and the news that his mother had passed away and his sister was missing. Ye Han lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
That night, Ye Han thought a lot. Five years of prison life had made his character relatively calm, and he was no longer as frivolous as before. Life in prison also taught him a lot.
Early the next morning, Ye Han got up early. After calculating the money needed to return to Donghai City, he left two hundred yuan for Uncle Six. Although it was not much, it was important for them who were deep in the mountains.
Said it would be enough for them to use for a long time.
It rained all night and stopped in the morning, and the mountains were shrouded in mist. Ye Han carried his baggage and walked on the bumpy road, taking the first step towards a glorious life again.
Two days later.
Ye Han stood in front of the square of Donghai City Railway Station, looking at the endless flow of people. He was confused for a moment. In this metropolis with a population of tens of millions, finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. What's more,
He is still a jobless vagrant who has just been released from prison and has no income. How to continue to survive in this metropolis has become his most urgent problem.
Five years ago, he would not have had to worry about this at all. He could choose any of the well-known hospitals across the country. But now, although he possesses extremely superb medical skills, he is unable to use them. His medical qualification certificate has already been issued in the fifth year.
It was revoked years ago and will never be allowed to take the exam again.
However, he has hands and feet and is strong, so I believe it will not be difficult to find a job. The train station is a place with a relatively dense crowd, and there will be job advertisements in the surrounding shops, so he carried his luggage and walked on the train.
Wander around the station, hoping to see shops recruiting workers.
He walked around the square, and not long after walking, he saw a recruitment notice posted at the door of a restaurant. He stood there looking at the recruitment notice, and silently said in his heart: "There are several waiters, with a monthly salary of one thousand."
Two to one thousand eighty, a number of waiters, monthly salary..."
After reading it, Ye Han didn't think much and walked towards the store with his baggage. As soon as he entered the door, the service staff from the hotel took the initiative to greet him and asked with great concern: "Sir, is there one?"
Ye Hanhan smiled and said to the waiter: "I saw the recruitment notice posted on your door. I'm here to find a job..."
When the waiter heard that Ye Han was looking for a job, he didn't think much about it. He turned around and walked ahead, saying to Ye Han: "Oh, come with me. I will take you to see our manager."
Ye Han followed the waiter and walked directly from the lobby to the back of the hotel, and soon arrived at the manager's office.
The waiter knocked on the door of the manager's room first, and then after getting permission, he took Ye Han in, pointed at Ye Han and said to the manager: "Manager, this person is looking for a job..."
The manager is a woman, about twenty-five or six years old, wearing professional attire. She is not ugly, but not beautiful either. She wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and a pair of shrewd eyes is looking at Ye Han from head to toe.
The manager waved his hand to the waiter, signaling the waiter to leave.
After the waiter left, he closed the door.
The manager saw that Ye Han was about 28 or 9 years old. He was not very tall, but he looked very strong. He had a rugged appearance and a full beard. He looked very masculine. The clothes he was wearing were already old.
It's old and dirty, but it's very clean.
After sizing up Ye Han, she pointed to a chair opposite and said to Ye Han, "Sit down first."
Ye Han was not polite, left the baggage behind the door, walked straight over, and sat down opposite the manager, separated by only one table.
"What's your name? How old are you? Where are you from? What kind of job do you want to do?" The manager pushed up his glasses and asked a series of questions.
"My name is Ye Han, 29 years old, from Shaanxi. I saw the job notice outside the door. I can't cook, and the waiters need women. I can only work as a waiter."
After hearing this, the manager nodded slightly and said: "Well, you are strong enough and fully qualified for this job. But your beard must be shaved and you must look fresh and clean. This is the most basic thing. We are here
Food and lodging are included, two meals a day, accommodation upstairs in a hotel, six people in a room, a monthly salary of 800, a probation period of one month, and after the probation period, a monthly salary of 1,000. Do you have any opinions?"
"No." Ye Han was anxious to find a job. The reason why he came here was because he wanted food and lodging included. At least he wouldn't starve to death. Therefore, he could accept everything the manager said.
"Well, very good. You go to the second room on the left upstairs and put down your luggage first, and then you can officially start work." The manager was also very efficient. He only asked a few questions and hired Ye Han directly.
Ye Han was very happy, said thank you to the manager, turned around and left. Carrying his baggage, he opened the door of the manager's room and saw a very well-dressed young man standing at the door.
The young man first glanced at Ye Han with some contempt in his eyes, then looked at the manager and asked, "Are you the manager?"
The manager nodded and said, "Yes, I am the manager. Are you?"
The young man walked directly into the manager's office and said to Ye Han: "Remember to close the door when you leave."
Ye Han knew that he was trying to drive him away. He stepped out of the manager's office, closed the door from the outside, carried his baggage and went upstairs from the stairs on the right.
He went to the second room on the left as the manager said. He scanned the room first. The room was in a mess. Clothes, socks, and shoes were everywhere. There was no place to put his feet. There was also a very bad smell. However,
Ye Han was still in a good mood because he could establish himself here, working and looking for his sister at the same time.
However, as soon as Ye Han stepped into the dormitory, he heard the manager shouting from downstairs: "Ye Han, come down and carry your baggage!"
After Ye Han carried the bag downstairs inexplicably, before he reached the manager, the manager was so frightened that he took several steps back for some reason, and kept waving his hands: "Don't come over, just stand there."
Already."
"Manager, what happened?" Ye Han asked with a confused look on his face.
The manager said: "Ye Han, you can go, we have found all the employees here and there are no vacancies left."
"Huh?" Ye Han said suspiciously, "Manager, you just said..."
"I misremembered just now. Go quickly and leave here, otherwise, I will call the police!" the manager said nervously.
Call the police? Is this too exaggerated?
Before Ye Han could figure out what was going on, he was already ordered to be kicked out. The job he had just found was immediately lost. He carried the baggage and said nothing more, because he was no longer welcome here. There is no one left here.
, I have my own place to stay. Ye Han left and strode out of the hotel.
Then, he looked for several restaurants near the train station. Almost everyone who saw him seemed to have seen the god of plague. From afternoon to night, he couldn't even find a job. He had no choice but to
Find a small hotel to spend the night first, and then go find a job tomorrow morning.
So, Ye Han wandered around and found a place called Heping Hotel. He looked at the prices posted outside and found that a room only cost thirty yuan, which was pretty good for him. He carried his baggage and
Head straight into the hotel.
A middle-aged man sitting at the front desk of the hotel stood up immediately when he saw Ye Han walking towards him, and quickly waved his hands to Ye Han: "Don't come in, don't come in, we are not hiring here!"
Ye Han frowned, feeling very strange. He didn't listen to the man's words, strode in, and said, "I'm not here to recruit workers, I'm here to stay in the hotel."
"It's full. Our guest room is full. Go elsewhere."
The more Ye Han thought about it, the more puzzled he became. Why did he encounter this kind of result every time he went to a place? Now, he was even kicked out of a hotel? Just when he turned to leave, his eyes accidentally glanced at
There was a piece of paper on the front desk of the hotel. The portrait on it looked very familiar. He moved over and took a look. Unexpectedly, the portrait on the paper was his own. Under the portrait, there were a few lines of small words.
He felt a little uneasy and immediately grabbed the piece of paper from the front desk. After taking a look at it, he was filled with anger. Because it said on the paper that he was a murderer who did not commit any heinous crimes and had just been released from prison.
words and remind everyone to pay attention to this person.
After reading it, Ye Hanqi's lungs were about to explode, and he couldn't help shouting: "I said that everyone feels like they are seeing the god of plague when they see me. It turns out that someone is causing trouble!"
After saying that, Ye Han took the piece of paper, stared at the man in the hotel, and asked: "Tell me, who sent this to you?"
