There is no scenery here. In the past, luxury was scenery. It was a scenery made of gilded tiles and bright red walls. Now the bright ttb can only make people look up.
Afraid of getting lost in the crowd, afraid of being alone among the cold-eyed HR, tricky real estate agents, and hawkers fighting for petty profits. I met you without any defense, your rose, I won’t be moved, your promise, I don't care, you are sincere, I am not sincere.
When friends become lovers and lovers become relatives, the meaning of insisting on being alone in a foreign land is no longer abstract but becomes full.
That night was Hu Kai's birthday. On the Commercial Street, there were numerous LCD screens spliced together into a huge display above my head. I sat on the steps and looked up to see the advertisements on the large screen.
Two poems suddenly appeared in my mind, "Heart to heart returns to heart, and love and service are deep. Once we are separated, we tie our clothes thousands of times. I realize that it is better to tie clothes than to tie hearts. When we sit and walk, we tie knots, and we tie them for hundreds of years. "
Leaning on Yu Yifei, he turned the corner of her skirt and tied it with his own shirt. "If you want to get up, my skirt should be lifted up..."
"Cough cough cough...! Cough cough cough...!" In the middle of the night, coughing sounds came from time to time in Ye Wen's room. At first, no one noticed because she was fast asleep, but such frequent sounds still woke up the people next door. woman.
My mother angrily closed the windows and doors to ensure that no sound would pass through the cracks in the doors that had been moth-eaten over time.
Ye Wen has always resisted luxurious street scenes, but that night, all she could think of was the gorgeous night city, which was unexpectedly friendly and made her extremely homesick. She suddenly felt a little sorry for the expensive air tickets.
"Are you having menstrual cramps? Your sheets have turned red. Didn't you realize that you're on your period?" The woman grabbed Ye Wen who was weak on the bed and pulled her up straight. She took out new sheets from the cabinet and laid them on her, folding them neatly. together.
"If mom finds out that you soiled her sheets, I think she will fine you double your wages..." The woman looked young, with a slightly mature expression on her face. She gently stroked Ye Wen's short hair. , feeling the coolness on her thin arms, as cold as a corpse.
The woman took an extra quilt from her room and laid it on Ye Wen's quilt. "I have two more quilts there. They are the winning prizes from gambling before. You can use them first, otherwise you will miss work tomorrow." ."
"My mother runs the Killer Alliance, which is the English abbreviation of deadwomen, and is a chain of 14 DW stores here. Due to the special circumstances of environmental politics, this kind of business is common.
We once shared resources with Dog Eat Dog for several years, but it was a Shura field, and the people who came out were always fierce and murderous. It was a very typical violent organization, and it suffered a lot from the government.
After all, not everyone is willing to make dirty money. DW still defected to the government after announcing the end of the cooperative relationship for several years. They provided people and the government paid, and they cooperated in planning to fight against the government's enemies.
They seem to be good people, but they are neither evil nor businessmen. They are as greedy as wolves and bloodthirsty. They sometimes trigger the fuse between the rival government and the gangs, and collect their respective oil and water from them to help one of them. Of course, it looks like Who is more generous..."
"Okay, okay, stop chatting here, go to work quickly..." Mom started urging everyone's motors to run early in the morning, and put her hands in to end the gossip.
"I don't want to fight." Ye Wen held the sign handed over by her mother in her hand. Everyone's sign is different. Once she makes money, she will add the same sign in increments. This is to prevent theft and murder here. Once a fight is life-threatening,
Money will also be deducted, because for my mother, everyone is bought with value.
"I can't, I can only dance ballet." Ye Wen shook her head. Her life these days has made her look haggard, with protruding cheekbones and thick dark circles under her sunken eye sockets.
"If you don't fight, there will be no food, nothing...!" Mom slammed the sign in Ye Wen's hand, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, this rule was made by your father!"
Ye Wen sat blankly on the sofa, surrounded by nothing, and she was really the only one left. Her lips were dry, her hands and feet were trembling, and she had traveled thousands of kilometers to get here, but it felt like she was in a cage.
The streets in this neighborhood are in ruins, with low buildings, occasional shops, and dusty windows. The map shows that it is an obtrusive business district, and there were once five- and six-story skyscrapers.
Entering alone, there was no access control, not even a door. When the elevator door opened, Ye Wen's heart skipped a beat. She pressed the 3rd floor button three times and the elevator door closed, but it didn't move at all.
This is a faulty elevator.
Walking up the stairs, my steps were heavy, and I retreated with every step. The surroundings were so quiet that it made me cringe. There was a company logo at the security entrance on the third floor, as if there was a lightning strike on my forehead from the ceiling, and I was stunned.
"Hey...!" Someone called her from behind. Ye Wen quickly turned around and stared at the person in front of her. She took her to the building next door. The solid security door opened and was full of people who were signing up and counting.
There were many people fighting on the blanket in the middle, and it looked like a regular match.
"There are only 10 people's coins to win every day. If you win a level, you can challenge the next level. The income will increase in sequence. But if you fail once, you will not have the chance to challenge today. The top 10 people will be assigned tasks every week, usually sent by the government, and the income will increase.
It will be more abundant, and the champion every year can take money home."
"What about the rest……"
"Hand in the sign and everything will be cleared." The woman wiped the sweat from her face, and Ye Wen could see the woman's considerable income today through the gaps in her pocket.
The woman was stared at her pocket for a long time and noticed the other person's gaze, "I made a lot of money today, at least 1,000. I will take you to have a nice meal. You look very weak..."
The woman was sorting out the signs in her pocket and wanted to escape and make calculations, but was stopped by Ye Wen, "No need, you have been so good to me, how about hiding this little money secretly..."
"It's useless. There is no currency here. Only these brands can be used. The nearby shops are owned by the military. This place is still planned to be another world." The woman took out the brand again and said, "I will do an inventory at the end of the year. If you don't use it, it will be in vain."
."
Looking back, I said, "I've been here for a long time, and like most people, I can't go home, but they..."
enjoying the moment……"
... From the plane, you can overlook the Andes Mountains, the wrinkled loess mountains, and suddenly the jungles are densely covered with greenery, and the mountains are full of fairy tale-like small houses.
Ye Wen still remembers what her father always said before, "We will take you to travel around the world when we have time...!"
