Chapter four hundred and ninety seventh Castle Peak
The full moon rises, the sun sets, and the scene of the sun and the moon echoing each other is very common in the last days. People in the county town who have been busy for a day start to finish their work one after another, touching their dry or full pockets. Some are happy and some are sad, but whether they are happy or not,
No matter how worried you are, you have earned yourself even one more second of survival in this cannibalistic world!
The overall mental outlook of Qingshan County is pretty good. People walking bustling on the streets are talking and laughing. Even though they are ragged, looking at the lush crops outside the city, most people feel that life is still promising!
Today is the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but this festival seems to have automatically disappeared in the minds of the poor. Only the old men in the city are qualified to celebrate the festival. Look around, if you can see someone’s house with lights and colorful decorations in front of it
, firecrackers are blasting, then this family, even if it is not a wealthy family, is at least the upper class of the county. The world is always so unfair, the poor can be so poor that they starve to death, and the rich can be so rich that they can bleed!
Agui is a young man in his early thirties, but his temples are slightly gray and his back is a bit stooped. He is ordinary and inconspicuous walking on the noisy streets of the county town. He has been in the logistics business and is considered wealthy.
He spends extravagantly, and his car upgrades from a Tucson worth hundreds of thousands to a Touareg worth millions. In addition to a married wife, he also maintains a college student mistress in a second-rate university, and maintains a relationship with two female doctors at the city hospital.
I have also tried long-term inappropriate relationships and 3p4p melees!
Thinking of the scenery back then, Agui is now filled with sadness. On the day before the end, he was rubbing his young lover's breasts while driving. He and his wife had never had a good relationship, and he even exceeded the speed and stretched his head.
Looking at the surveillance cameras on the road, I hope that I can be the one to take action. Brother Nai is well-known, so he has some bragging rights in the circle!
But everything that followed was as exciting as a Hollywood blockbuster in Agui's mind. He looked up at the sky and used his right hand to mess around with his little lover. He actually knocked three passers-by away in one breath. Agui and his little lover were frightened.
All of them were unconscious, but Agui’s first thought was not to save people, but to run away!
But you have to have money to run away. Even if you are driving a high-end Volkswagen Touareg, you will still be unable to escape once you are wanted. So Agui ran back home immediately, not caring whether the fan was still following him.
The tender little lover rushed into the house and started rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to find cash and bankbooks.
Agui can still clearly remember the scene at that time. His three-year-old daughter was sitting in the living room watching cartoons, while his wife was holding a spatula and trying her best to show off her cooking skills, just because he promised to go home that night.
He came to dinner, and as soon as he and his young lover entered, his wife came out. The happy smile on his face suddenly froze. Agui told him bluntly that he had killed someone and was running away, and he only kept 20,000 yuan of the money he found out.
Give them mother and daughter life.
When his wife hugged her daughter and chased her downstairs, because of her crying, Agui mercilessly slapped both mother and daughter to the ground, but when he pulled his little lover and rushed up again,
While he was driving, the weather changed. He watched helplessly as the security guard at the door bit out the neighbor's throat. The woman lived right across from their house. The couple ran a cosmetics company. Agui once tried his best to hook up with that provocative woman.
The infatuated young woman has been working in vain!
Agui can't remember clearly what happened next. Although it was only two years ago, the bloody and horrific memories seemed to have made his brain automatically choose to block it, until he entered Qingshan County a year ago, and a family of three
The days finally settled down, and the little lover who escaped with them left with someone on the third day after entering the city. Agui met her once. She was all dressed in jewels, and she waved a photo of her with contempt.
A pound of food stamps will keep you away!
Agui stopped for a moment when passing by a magnificent courtyard house. He knew that his little lover was working as a mistress for countless people in this luxurious house. He looked at the house in front of the courtyard with an expressionless face.
The two vermilion doors are the same as in the old days. This color also represents absolute authority. Ordinary people would not dare to paint their doors this color. History seems to have gone backwards again!
Agui walked all the way through the streets. The houses became more crowded and the ground became dirtier. There were beggars walking on the roadside, wandering orioles selling themselves at low prices without licenses, and corpses that had frozen to death at some point. Here
There are, and they are everywhere!
Agui walked to the door of a courtyard with mottled walls and looked at the slightly slanted door panels. He unconsciously straightened up his stooped waist and pushed open the wooden door that could fall down at any time.
He strode in quickly.
The yard is neither big nor small, but it is almost crowded with filthy shacks, leaving only a small space in the middle for people to cool down and walk around. Agui, who lives here, knows that each of these shacks has at least one person living in it.
With more than five people, my former warehouse is simply a luxurious villa here!
The women and children of the neighbor's family were sitting in the only open space and talking about their families' shortcomings. This was their only pastime every day. It's not that they didn't want to go out to work to make money, but that there was really no work to do. Look at their clothes.
The patched clothes and shoes were all very old items, and some of them were even barefoot, either because they had been worn by their own men, or they simply couldn't afford to buy shoes.
Seeing Agui carrying a paper bag in the door, the women and children in the courtyard turned to say hello to him. Agui seemed to be in a good mood today. He actually took out a few candies from his pocket and threw them to the children who were entangled.
When the eldest daughter-in-law saw that the paper bag in his hand was stained with oil, one of them couldn't help but asked: "Brother Gui, are you not going to get rich? Isn't that what you are carrying in your hand?"
"It's not meat, it's half a roast chicken!" Agui had long since lost his nouveau riche mentality and smiled sincerely, but his words rang in the ears of the women like thunder. The woman who just asked the question directly
He stood up and said in surprise: "Brother Gui, you have been missing for more than ten days. Yanmei almost went crazy with anxiety. Where did you get rich? If you have a good job, don't forget to take care of our family Ah Xing!"
"
"I just went there too. Once I get to know the leader, I will definitely recommend Ah Xing if I have the chance!" Agui nodded with a smile and walked through the crowd to a cement hut directly to the left, but he had just reached the door.
The shirtless and muscular man in front walked out with a loose waistband. When he saw Agui, he nodded and said hello, and walked out refreshed.
Agui opened the dilapidated door with a complex expression. The room was not big, only about ten square meters. Apart from a bed and a cabinet, there was not even a place to sit. A young woman was bending over naked.
Wearing underwear, her skin is fair and her figure is very slender. She is not as bloated as the average woman of this age. There are a few balls of yellow straw paper thrown at her feet, as well as wet and sticky crystal liquid!
The young woman heard the noise behind her and looked back. A trace of relief finally flashed through her numb eyes, but she said lightly: "You're back!"
"Are you picking up customers again? Aren't you allowed to pick up customers?" Agui casually put the paper bag on the cabinet and stood behind his wife to help her fasten the buttons of her bra. The bra was very worn and could be seen everywhere.
The stitching thread is obviously an old antique.
"I don't want to take it, but what can I do? You left without saying a word for several days, leaving only half a catty of rice at home. Do you want to leave us two to drink from the northwest wind?" Zeng Qiuyan, Agui's wife, finished dressing.
Bra turned his head and said with a smile: "And the customer he picked up is also a regular customer. He used to take care of us so many times, but now that he comes to visit me, I can't turn him away. Fortunately, I still have some old feelings.
Guest, otherwise what you will smell when you come back after leaving is the corpses of our two mothers!"
Agui didn't say anything. It's not been a day or two since his wife sold herself for this family. His mentality has already changed from the initial grief to helpless numbness. The bitter life is like a rough whetstone. As long as you are alive for one day.
, it will inevitably wear away the edges and corners of the whole body.
Fortunately, my wife used to be a well-known beauty. Although she is tortured by life now, but in this compound and even on this street, her wife is still somewhat pretty, and her temperament is one of the best, so in
Only some farmers would come to visit in the streets and alleys. Unlike those women in the yard, no one would buy it if they wanted to sell it!
Agui bent down and picked up a gray dress from the floor to help his wife put it on. His wife had always cherished this dress. Not only was there no patch in sight, but it was also basically kept clean. However, the dress turned white instead of wearing it.
She glanced at him and said coquettishly: "What? You still want me to go to the alley to pick up guests at night?"
Only then did Agui realize that his wife would only choose to wear this dress when she was soliciting customers. Normally, she would just put on some work clothes that he had gotten. Agui put down the clothes and folded them carefully.
He turned around and asked, "Where's Tingting? Why didn't I see her in the yard?"
"As soon as the guests came, I let her go to play in the yard next door. The child is only five years old. It's not good for her to see this!" The wife sighed helplessly, turned around and saw the yellow paper bags on the cabinet, and walked away curiously.
He went over and asked, "What did you bring back? You've been busy for more than ten days and haven't even earned a few kilograms of rice back home, right? Wow! Why...why is there a roasted chicken in here?"
"Haha~ I brought it to you and Tingting. Leave the chicken legs to the little greedy cat. You can eat the rest quickly!" Agui slowly sat on the bed, took out his pocket and found a pack of cigarettes, casually
He took out one and lit it in his mouth. Looking at his wife's shocked eyes, he winked at her in a show-off way.
"Agui, you...you won't do bad things outside, right?" Zeng Qiuyan put down the paper bag in her hand as if she was electrocuted, and asked anxiously: "Agui, if you really do something bad, let's run away.
It’s not like you don’t know the laws in the city. Anyone who robs more than ten kilograms of rice will be shot. You can’t seek death!”
"What are you talking about? Who do you think you can rob with your husband's size? No matter who he robs, he will knock me down with just one punch?" Agui waved his hands in disbelief, stood up and walked to his wife,
He hugged her tenderly and said, "Honey, I didn't do anything bad. I earned these things, so you can eat with peace of mind!"
"No, if you don't make it clear, I would rather starve to death than eat!" Zeng Qiuyan pushed Agui away anxiously and asked: "Agui, how did you get these things? You don't know how to do it first and secondly.
Shooting guns, what kind of job can make you earn so much money? The cigarettes you smoke now cost at least five kilograms of rice per pack!"
"Okay, okay, I said, I said okay! Come on, do it on my husband's lap first, and I will explain it to you slowly!" Agui smiled and pulled his wife to sit on his lap, and then said: "I found it
It’s a job, the kind that can last for a long time, Jindian Villa... Oh, it’s what we call Longevity Villa, you know, right? I’ve been working there these days, picking up golf balls for people at the bottom of the mountain, taking care of food and housing.
, fifty kilograms of rice a month!"
"Ah? You can take care of food, housing, and housing and still get so much?" Zeng Qiuyan looked at Agui in surprise, but asked in confusion: "What kind of job is picking up golf balls? Are the people in the villa very idle? They all play golf.
?”
"It's not for the people at the villa, it's for the guests who go to play there. Think about it, aren't the people who can play golf all wealthy? They have a lot of beauties accompanying them on the mountain, and spending money is like running water.
Yes, if you are an individual visitor, you can only hit two balls per kilogram of rice, and there is no counter-offer at all. If you are a member, you can just pay the membership fee and I will help them pick up the balls they hit, clean them, and play again.
Leave it to them to beat me. Sometimes the big bosses will see me sweating from running around, so when I am in a good mood, it’s no big deal to throw in a few pounds of food stamps!"
Agui said with a smile on his face, then took out a small stack of colorful plastic pieces from his pocket and showed off: "Look what this is? It's all the tips I earned!"
"Wow! Is this... so much?" The most customers Zeng Qiuyan received at one time was only half a catty of rice. Like the regular customer just now, he just wanted her to be high-quality and low-price, so he put up his pants and gave her two
Two, she now received dozens of kilograms of food stamps, almost trembling with excitement, but then her face changed and she asked suspiciously: "Agui, since you found a job, how come you only worked for a few days and then came back?"
Could it be that you were fired?"
"How is that possible? I work conscientiously. I won't retaliate even if I'm hit or scolded. My boss is not crazy. Why should I be fired?" Agui smiled and waved his hands, picked up his wife and put her on the bed, then turned to look outside.
Tianse said: "Oh~ It's getting late. Quickly find my casual suit. I need to wear it at night!"
"Agui, didn't you say that suit is a memory of your past life and you won't wear it again?" Zeng Qiuyan said but was dissatisfied with the movements of her hands. She opened the cabinet beside the bed and dug out a suit from the bottom.
A brown suit jacket was handed to Agui and she asked curiously: "Are you okay tonight?"
"Something must have happened. Do you think I came back to play?" Agui took the suit and put it on energetically. Although the suit and T-shirt were a bit unorthodox, it did not affect his confidence. He patted the clothes on his body.
, smiling at his wife: "How's it going? Isn't he handsome?"
"Handsome! How can my husband not be handsome?" Zeng Qiuyan covered her mouth and chuckled. In her memory, her husband's smile seemed to have not appeared for several years, but she still asked doubtfully: "Husband, what are you going to do tonight?
What are you going to do? Tell me quickly!"
"Haha~ Your husband is going to be a tour guide for some of our big leaders tonight!" Agui explained with joy on his face: "Our big boss is coming to the city to attend a dance party in the evening, and several of his right-hand men want to be in the city.
I wanted to play around, but none of them had been to the county town. It happened to be my turn to clean the leisure area in the morning, so the leaders selected me and asked me to take them around the city in the evening. I would come back to visit first.
Let’s explore and see if there are any big changes in the street conditions these days!”
"Really? That's great. Agui, you must perform well and win the appreciation of your big boss!" Zeng Qiuyan was overjoyed and looked at Agui with joy, but Agui smiled.
Then he said: "How can the big boss let me lead the way? The mayor personally receives them, but the few big leaders I will accompany in the evening are also very impressive. They are all the top figures in our village!"
"Then don't waste time at home. Go out quickly. Oh no, I'll go next door and borrow some water for you to comb your hair!" Zeng Qiuyan started to run out in fear, but was pulled away by Agui.
He stopped and said, "You should also dress yourself up. I will take you to meet the leader later!"
"Ah? I...I'm going too?" Zeng Qiuyan became timid and said in embarrassment: "I'm a yellow-faced woman who can only cause trouble for you, so I'll just wait for you at home, right?"
"Fool, the leaders must bring their wives with them at night. If there is any inconvenience, what should I do as a grown man?" Agui patted his wife's hand with a smile and said, "Don't be afraid.
If the ladies like you, I will strike while the iron is hot and ask the leader to transfer you to work in the village. Then our family will be able to completely leave this wretched place. The village will be called a paradise on earth!"
"But... what can I do if I go there? I have also looked at the conditions for recruiting people at Changshou Villa. They all want young and beautiful girls. Even if you go to the red light district there, you won't want an old woman like me, right?" Zeng Qiuyan timidly said.
Looking at her husband, Agui laughed and said: "What are you thinking? I earn so much in a month, can I still let you go to the red light district? Then I am too heartless! Have you forgotten that you are a nutritious person?"
Master, several ladies in the villa are about to give birth, and what they need most is talents like you!"
After some encouragement from Agui, the couple went out happily. As soon as they walked into the courtyard, they saw two middle-aged men coming together, and they kept sighing. As soon as Agui heard them
He hurriedly asked: "Brother Zhong, are you talking about the people from Changshou Villa? They have entered the city?"
One of the middle-aged men nodded and said matter-of-factly: "It must be that group of people, otherwise no gathering place would have the same style as them! As soon as their car arrived, people would jump out of the truck at the back.
, all of them were soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms. Three small cars actually brought hundreds of people to protect them. I heard that they also had tanks blocked outside the city and were not allowed to come in. The security patrols were so scared that they called all the people who were off duty.
After I went back, a senior official from the mayor's office came in person, and the patrolmen breathed a sigh of relief!"
"Oops, why are you here early? Let's go quickly..." Agui grabbed his wife and jumped out like a rocket, leaving his two old neighbors confused.
