There is a bridge near the Cangzhou garbage dump. The river under the bridge is deep enough to drown a rich man. A wealthy man once slipped and fell from here. Many people came to rescue him immediately, but only a hat was recovered.
The river flows to the sea. What does a rich man mean?
On July 31, 2000, a woman jumped off a bridge with a baby in her arms.
The woman's name is Jinzhu, and she is a prostitute.
There is a row of messy houses on the river embankment. The houses are made of plywood and asbestos tiles. In the parlance of the upper class, they are called slums. The most dilapidated and shabby house among them is Jin Zhu's home.
In spring, grass grows under her table; in summer, rainwater flows under her bed; in autumn, the fallen leaves are so beautiful; in winter, don’t write about winter, it only brings coldness to some people.
Two poor people talked about winter like this:
"Last winter, it was really cold. My hands were frozen, my feet were frozen, and my ears were frozen."
"Yes, my hands are frozen, my feet are frozen, but my ears are not frozen."
"Do you have a hat?"
"I have no ears!"
It's not you who is squatting and shivering in the corner, so you can't feel the cold.
The people living in the dilapidated houses on the river bank also have their own lives, their own pots and jars, and their occupation is to pick up garbage. The west of the river is a garbage dump, and the east of the river is a waste recycling station.
They picked up some things from the west of the river and sold them to the east of the river, thus simply maintaining their lives.
They get up earlier than the wild dogs in the city and walk through the streets at dawn. They are disheveled, holding iron hooks in their hands and empty, patched bags under their arms. When they see a trash can, they rummage through it.
Picking up garbage also requires experience. An old man said to a novice: "Yazi, let me tell you, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the National Taxation Bureau, the Family Planning Commission, the Public Security Bureau, the Admissions Office, the hospital, the city credit union, the county party committee hotel, the Transportation Bureau, these places
The trash can is the fattest!”
There was a stone in the Jinsha River called "Na Gong", and a boatman picked up a shell on it. There was a big pearl in the shell. There was a trash can in the southwest corner of the family yard of Cangzhou Tobacco Company, and a lucky guy once picked up a shell.
After the cigarette was opened, there were stacks of hundred-dollar bills inside.
Garbage pickers sometimes also collect rags. We often hear people in the alley shouting like this:
"The wine bottle collector is here again!"
"Who sells scrap metal?"
"Who sells scrap books and newspapers!"
"The wine bottle collector is here again!"
"Who sells cardboard boxes!"
"Who sells cans!"
"The wine bottle collector is here again!"
Are they poor?
No, the trash can is their treasure!
They have been lucky enough to pick up things that you and I have abandoned.
Are they people?
Maybe.
Looking at those men, women and children climbing up the garbage mountain with iron hooks, one can only say that they are reptiles.
Where is their home?
On the river embankment.
All kinds of misery are neighbors. A widow who has been abandoned by her family, a farmer who has lost his land, a family who has given birth to six daughters, a lonely old man without children, a homeless wanderer, a man reduced to abject poverty.
Gamblers, mutes with skills but no jobs, charlatans who have reformed their ways... They gathered together to form a makeshift village, and could find no other work except picking up garbage.
Criminals often hide in such lairs. The man without ears mentioned above is Zhu Tongjia, a thief who killed a family of four and has been on the run for many years.
After Zhu Tongjia was arrested, he revealed one person: Mr. Che. Mr. Che ran a hotel under the bridge, which doubled as a restaurant. He also provided gasoline for passing drivers hauling scrap.
The police suspected that the car owner was related to several cases, but they could never find evidence. Garbage pickers often discussed privately:
"Boss Che knows people in the underworld."
"The wife of the car boss is missing."
"There are prostitutes at the car owner's place."
On a certain day of a certain year and month, a flower blooms; on a certain day of a certain month and year, a flower falls.
I can’t remember when a woman walked into Boss Che’s hotel. That night, she was a virgin in the first half of the night and a prostitute in the second half of the night.
The next day, Boss Che hung a sign at the door of the store that read "There is an elegant room inside".
Business has been booming since then!
That woman is Jinzhu. People are born with differences between rich and poor. Jinzhu was born in a small mountain village called Jintai. A long time ago, gold mines were produced there, but now there are only stones. Jinzhu has a very vague impression of his mother. He only remembers
Her mother was livid, gnashing her teeth, and stamping her feet, wishing she could smash the earth to pieces. Her father was very kind to her, buying her sesame seed cakes and headbands.
When Jinzhu was 10 years old, her father said to her by the well at the entrance of the village: "Ni, I'll be back soon."
There was no news from him and he was gone for many years.
It wasn't until she was 18 years old that after her mother passed away, someone told her: "Jinzhu, your father may be dead too."
Jinzhu was abducted and sold to Cangzhou by her neighbors.
Apart from prostitution, is there any other way for her? If so, it is death.
She once resisted and tried to escape. Her left eye was more affectionate than her right eye because her right eye was blinded by the car owner. This did not affect her beauty. Which woman is not an angel?
She had been young, had fantasized, and had flown with wings.
She tolerated everything, gave up everything, lost everything, and began to let fate control her. One night, she spit out the window viciously and said, "Forget being a bad woman!"
From then on, Jin Zhu was no longer afraid of anything. It didn't matter who was gentle to her, who was rough to her, who showed mercy to her, or who despised her.
Jinzhu gradually realized the joy of being a bad woman, showing off all kinds of ugly things. At night, her buttocks rippled like lotus leaves.
When there were no customers, Mr. Che would torture her. One day, she asked Mr. Che: "Where is your wife?"
The car owner patted his belly, chuckled and said, "Here it is."
Jinzhu sometimes thinks of her father, and she can't forget her father's face when he left.
Sometimes, when she felt ashamed, she often thought that if her father found out in his grave that she had become a prostitute, he would definitely die again.
Virtue is a well-behaved box that contains evil thoughts. The old bachelors who lived nearby who picked up garbage, as well as young people, also shamelessly came to Jinzhu and bargained with her: "You are too expensive, my dear girl."
, we are also neighbors, we should take care of you, it’s cheaper. It’s not easy to exchange two dollars for a garbage picker. You come and go in wind and rain, you know..."
Jinzhu learned to lie. She teased the man to the point of burning with desire, then pursed her lips and said, "Not today, I'm on my period."
She knows how to seduce, and then leaves, looking for a more favorable position to raise her status. She is so cold and beautiful, as if she is wearing a flower crown and dragging her long skirt. Wherever she goes, there is danger. She makes men drink, drink
Get drunk and let them get jealous and fight.
She is shining, but she cannot shine on her own staleness.
Some women who pick up garbage and kind-hearted sisters-in-law often advise Jinzhu: "Daughter, don't do this job. You won't be able to maintain a good body when you get old. Find a lover while you are young and live a happy life!"
She fell in love with a driver.
The young man whistled, closed the car door, and walked past her window. She saw his beard, his eyes, his shoulders and hands. Yes, some men would fall in love with him just by looking at him.
With love, there is heaven, even in hell and in difficult days. Love makes the earth rotate, makes the sun shine, and makes all things grow.
For her, the highest state of love is making love.
Jin Zhu said to the car boss: "Tell that young man that I will go to his room at night."
Night is coming.
Her smile was that of a goblin, and her breasts were those of two goblins. Her upper body was naked, and she stood shyly in front of the young man.
Our civilization is the thin skirt worn by prostitutes, and now that skirt has been taken off.
She closed her eyes.
In the room, one fly lay on top of another fly, making love while flying, reaching a climax in the air, and who heard their screams.
After the climax, Jinzhu lay like a cat in the young man's arms. She drew circles on his chest with her fingers.
"What's your name?" she asked.
"I asked you to come back next time, hehe."
After the young man finished speaking, he slapped a hundred-yuan bill on Jin Zhu's butt.
Jin Zhu's face immediately turned red, she pursed her lips and said, "I don't want your money."
A week later, the young man whistled and came again. Jin Zhu hid his driver's license in his bra. After making trouble for a while, Jin Zhu said to the young man: "Take me away!"
The young man said: "This is not possible."
Two months later, Jin Zhu said to the young man: "You have to take me away. I won't come this month because I'm pregnant."
The young man said, "You can't rely on me. Who knows whose child you are pregnant with."
Jinzhu said: "It's the seed you planted."
The young man said: "I don't care."
Jin Zhu said: "I will follow you in this life, and my belly is almost getting bigger."
The young man said: "You should have eaten enough!"
The moonlight shone in, but there was no knock on the door. In the middle of the night, Jin Zhu heard the sound of the car engine starting. She immediately put on a blanket and rushed out, sitting down on the passenger seat of the cab.
"It's not that easy to run away, huh." Jin Zhu said to the young man.
"You go back and get dressed, and I will take you away." The young man said.
"I'm stupid. As soon as I got out of the car and put on my clothes, you were gone."
"Okay then." The young man said viciously. He stepped on the clutch, put the gear in gear, accelerator, and the car suddenly jumped onto the highway.
Early the next morning, a naked woman was walking on National Highway 127. She entered the city and immediately caused a commotion.
The morning sun shone on her butt, back, and heels. She covered her face, her long hair could not cover her breasts, her nipples were black with cold, her lower abdomen was flat, and under the black grass was the source of life.
We were also born there.
This is such a strange sight between heaven and earth. A woman exudes a primitive atmosphere, walking in her own shadow in the early morning. People on the street have their mouths wide open in shock.
All kinds of eyes shot at her like arrows, surprise, astonishment, lust, obscenity, contempt, pity. With changing mentality, many onlookers also learned to question at that moment.
who is she?
She is a woman, which means she is our mother, sister and daughter.
This seems to be some kind of ritual. She walks in infinite time and infinite space. Every step she takes shocks people's hearts and the world.
Tears fell all the way, the wind picked up, this woman from the world was spotless.
Jinzhu covered her face and walked across the city back to Boss Che's hotel. There was a clear shoe print on her butt and a vague child in her belly. These were all left by the young man. She loved him,
She didn’t even know his name. Jinzhu covered herself with a quilt and slept for two days and two nights. From then on, she stopped smiling, which meant she was no longer beautiful. A woman who is no longer beautiful goes from spring to winter. Jinzhu completely
She became depraved and let her do it for money, moaning and screaming loudly without any scruples. Her net worth slowly dropped from 200 yuan to 20 yuan.
There were three cats, four dogs, five pigs and six sheep. After seven months, Jin Zhu gave birth to a premature baby.
After having children, Jin Zhu’s waist became thicker, her breasts drooped, her butt dropped, and her figure became bloated. She had fewer and fewer customers, and Boss Che hated her more and more. One day, Boss Che said to Jin Zhu, why are you like this?
You can eat it, you loser.
The next day, the car owner kicked her and her "little thing" out of the hotel.
Jinzhu built a house on the river embankment and made a living by picking up garbage. She told her neighbors that I want to raise the child, I want him to go to school, and I want him to become a high official. In the long rainy season of 1999
, if someone is holding an umbrella and standing on a bridge in the suburbs of Cangzhou, he will see a woman in a broken house using a plastic basin to catch the rain that leaked into the house, and her child is crying on the bed.
Jinzhu sometimes went to the hotel to engage in prostitution.
On the evening of July 30, 2000, it was raining heavily. Five guests came to Boss Che's hotel. One of them was lying on a stretcher dying, and the other four were dressed in strange clothes.
They ordered a table of food, ate and drank, and then a woman came. The woman was very fat, with prostitution written on her face, unemployment written on her hands, poverty written on her left buttocks, and ignorance written on her right.
, you can see the hunger in your belly when you open your mouth.
She is Jinzhu.
Jin Zhu sat down on a greasy stool and tore open a chicken leg unceremoniously: "Oh, I'm so greedy. I haven't had meat for a long time. There's no business."
A man with yellow teeth held Jinzhu in his arms, rubbed her breasts and said with a smile: "I'll let you eat as much as you like this time."
This man is Qiu Ba, and sitting next to him are Zhou Xingxing, Tiezui, Tu Laoye, and Shan Ya is lying on the broken sofa in the corner.
Qiu Ba said: "Idle time is idle, let's play a game. This game has a literary name called Zuo Huai Bu Luan, and the colloquial name is Dabo. It means letting a prostitute sit in the arms of a customer and tease her in every possible way. Who can be tough?
Well, whoever is fined three drinks."
The game begins.
Jinzhu's little mouth is oily and Jinzhu's thighs are plump.
She sat in Zhou Xingxing's arms, slowly wiggling her buttocks, her eyes misty and charming. Soon, she said: "Get hard, drink."
She sat in Tiezui's arms, swallowing the core of the snake, moving her body up and down, breathing lightly. After a while, she said: "Here, let's have a drink too!"
She sat in Tu Laoye's arms, slowly opened her shirt, and pressed Tu Laoye's hands on the two lotus flowers. She closed her eyes and looked very intoxicated. After a while, she smiled and said,
Said: "Old guy, you're going to kill me!"
After one round, only Qiu Ba was not tough. Jin Zhu hit Qiu Ba on the head with a chicken bone and said, "Tonight, I will sleep with you. All three of them are bad guys."
Qiu Ba laughed loudly.
"Why is there still a drunk person?" Jin Zhu saw Shan Ya lying in the corner. She stood up, gnawed on the chicken bones, walked over with her butt twisted, and said, "We can't let this one go either."
As she walked, her steps slowed down and stopped.
Shan Ya half-opened his eyes and raised his right hand with great effort.
Tears flowed from his eyes.
Jinzhu grabbed her hair with both hands and stood there blankly. For a long time, she let out a heart-rending cry - Big!
Shan Ya is Jin Zhu’s father!
One evening more than 20 years ago, Shan Ya said to his daughter at the entrance of the village called Jintai Village, I will be back soon.
More than 20 years later, he witnessed the sexual life of a prostitute, who was his daughter.
This dying man spoke very laboriously and intermittently. We really are not in the mood to truly describe those breathless last words, so we will recount them completely here. Before his death, he confessed to Zhou Xingxing, Tu Laoye and the others.
One thing: you go to Hong'an County. There is a mulberry forest in the west of the city. You tie a red silk scarf to the thickest tree. There are things I buried under the tree. Some money, you share half of it with me.
Zhu. The next day, you go to Xiaojing Hutong in the east of the city, which is the dead end. Someone will come up from the ground and he will take you to find Gao Fei.
We will never have a chance to talk about Boss Che again. About the day after Shan Ya died, a woman in white mourning clothes entered the hotel in the middle of the night. When she came out, Boss Che was lying naked on the bed with a swollen throat.
