At three o'clock in the morning, beside the river.

Shang Yang sat on the shore, listening to the sound of running water and frogs, holding a cigarette in his mouth, as if he was very tired, and he had changed a lot in an instant. He admitted that there were many unfair things in this society. If the darkness was said to be one hundred, the human eye could see one percent of it outlined, but it was impossible to imagine and it was also suitable in dark corners.

Wang Rui sat next to him, curled up his legs, curled up all his bodies close to Shang Yang's T-shirt, hugged his legs with his arms, only one head exposed, his hair was a little scattered and he was not tidying up, his chin was staring at the knees, and he stared blankly at the river.

This is the darkest moment of the day.

It is also the darkest moment in Wang Rui's life.

"I don't have a father"

Shang Yang spoke slowly, perhaps the scene that happened in front of him had a great impact on him, perhaps because he had been in a suffocated and could only say it to half-unfamiliar and irrelevant people, or perhaps he could only use a sadder story to alleviate this atmosphere.

"It should be a father, but I never know who he is. He was called a wild child from birth. I remember when I was a man who held his mother's hand and walked in front. There would be children throwing stones behind him, and there would be women spitting, calling my mother accusing her of being morally corrupt and shameless."

"At the beginning, I had hated my mother because of this. Why should I be spitted, scolded, and bullied when I was born? Sometimes when I heard a sound behind me, I would secretly turn around and write down all of them. I secretly swear in my heart that one day I must sew their mouths. You may not believe that when I was seven years old, I bought my first knife, a pencil-cutting knife, about seven or eight centimeters, so long..."

Shang Yang raised his hand and gestured.

"Of course it's not for sharpening pencils, but for wanting to kill them. As long as I kill them, I will never have to listen to their scolding my mother behind their backs, let alone bear to throw stones behind them."

"It's very dark, I feel scary when I think about it now."

"But my mother is a woman with great wisdom. She obeys and works hard. She never fights back when others say anything. Even if she scolds her, she will smile and leave. Others regard her as a plague god, and they are far away from her. By the way, there is a row of stones downstairs in my house. The gang of long-tongued women will sit on it after dinner. Of course, most of the time they discuss who my father is, and whether my mother has any bachelors with..."

"My mother didn't resist these things. She would go down after dinner. She sat alone on a stone away from the crowd, listening to their insults and insults, and then approached little by little. She approached one millimeter every day, three centimeters a month, and one foot a year. It took ten years to get closer to them..."

Wang Rui's eyes finally stopped staring at the river surface, slowly turned his head, and listened strangely to the story in Shang Yang's mouth.

There is artistic processing, but the ingredients are not large.

"Others annoyed her, insulted her, scolded her, but she used her decade of non-resistance to make everyone lose her interest in talking about her. The environment she should have had in her original origin. It took my mother for ten years. During these ten years, whoever has problems, who needs help, whoever needs help, whoever treats her as a member, and she will take the initiative to go there without telling her. Over time, others can smile at her and greet her when she meets her on the road..."

"Guess how it's happening now?"

A look of pride appeared on Shang Yang's face.

Wang Rui looked puzzled, but he still didn't speak.

"Now, in the entire community, everyone is willing to ask her if there is anything difficult to solve. If anyone is invited to have a meal, not only will she be allowed to go, but she will also have to sit in the front seat. If the community set up a owners' committee and vote for the election, she will get more than 90% of the votes!"

Wang Rui's expression was a little surprised.

Shang Yang threw away the cigarette butt and said with a smile.

"So, no matter how big the hardship is measured in ten years, it will become insignificant, and the result will be earth-shaking. Some mistakes may not be our own, but it may be attached to us by others. Three people become tigers. This is roughly the truth, but how should we solve it? This is technical work. My mother has tried ten years to tell me that as long as I am willing to work in a good direction, there will always be a moment of clearing the sky..."

He wanted to tell Wang Rui even more that things would pass after all.

Seeing that Wang Rui had no intention of speaking, he said, "Let me talk about it, I grew up in this family environment. Adults are rational and gossip at most, and children are different. They don't have any thoughts. They only care about eating, drinking and having fun. When I was a child, I was often bullied. At that time, I was not tall and could not beat others. The fruits my mother brought were often thrown away. The most serious time was that they fell into the toilet..."

"I don't know if you have seen that kind of toilet. It's a separate house outside the teaching building. On both sides are men's and women's bathrooms, in the middle is a squatting toilet. There is a slope, and the excrement falls down the slope. They bullied me and accidentally fell down. The designer is also a brainless person. How big can primary school students grow? The squat position is too wide, and they slide down like a slide. Fortunately, the inside has just been cleaned up and there is almost nothing..."

"Later, when the class was in class, there was no one, and no one could help me. I waited until the second get out of class was over and I was discovered. I was rescued by the teacher. I asked why I fell down and didn't dare to say that I was bullied. If I wanted to say it, they had to push me down. I said that I was accidentally. Later, I didn't know which bastard told me that I jumped down to peek at the girl in the bathroom..."

"Damn, I'm only in elementary school, I know what peeking is!"

"hehe…"

Wang Rui chuckled softly and finally smiled.

Shang Yang would also smile with sincerity. He didn't have much to do, just spend a while.

He said angrily: "The whole school knew that I fell into the toilet and no one wanted to play with me, so he became the most introverted one. I picked up the knife again and wanted to tear all the mouths of those who said I was..."

"But there was a sound of my mother. She was very peaceful and gentle, and she could even be said to be submissive."

"Just bear it, endure it..."

"Until the teenage years, I entered puberty, and knew to attract girls' attention. Every morning I wore white shoes and white socks to school. Before I could enter the school, I was kicked and my whole body turned black. I thought this wouldn't work. I started peeking at the girl's toilet since I was a few years old. I couldn't be more cowardly as I grew up. Later, I had the courage to find a girl to confess. The girl found another boy and beat me up. In desperation, I picked up a brick and threw it over. Unexpectedly, they were all stupid and dared not move. They were scared to cry. The look of their eyes became terrified..."

"At that moment, I felt so comfortable."

Shang Yang's eyes were filled with memories.

Wang Rui became more comfortable and seemed to have listened to it.

"From that day, I started a great life, calling the wind and rain, and receiving the girl's love letters one by one, changing them one by one, someone picking them up at school, and someone sending them after school. When I walked, I followed a dozen younger brothers. I never had to queue for dinner in the cafeteria. So, I never queued to go to the toilet..."

"Big Boss!"

Wang Rui spoke and said two words, which was very hoarse.

"Yes, boss!"

Shang Yang nodded arrogantly: "At that time, I was just waiting for my mother to go home and say to me: Hi, look, my current status is achieved through hard work, no worse than your method of doing things!"

He smiled bitterly again, "But the good times don't last long, and there are only a few years of carefree life. After graduation, I didn't go to college, and my friends didn't contact me before. It seemed that nothing was gone overnight. The sky was dark and everything went back to the starting point. But I didn't want to die, so I had to live. I rented a fruit stall and sold fruits, making money that I couldn't get rich and could not die of poverty."

"Until one day, a relative of mine came back from the provincial capital and needed my family to have dinner. In fact, I haven't seen each other for so many years. Don't mention any family affection. I started to quarrel during dinner. My proudest past became the target of their attack. I also said that I was a broom star and would be close to prison sooner or later. I was so angry that I walked out."

"In order to change my lifestyle, one day I can sit at the dinner table and not be slandered by them, I choose a club with a greater future. It is risky, higher income, and brighter future, which is what I am now."

"I think my mother went from being despised to being under the spotlight, and I could go from being bullied to being hugged and hugged. There is no way to achieve this world without the word "work". If I haven't succeeded, I just didn't work hard enough..."

"A twenty kilometers of long-distance running every day, punching two thousand times, and practicing weights with a total of 30 tons. I was beaten for 16 rounds every week. Whenever I finished these, I felt a little more from success!"

Shang Yang was very peaceful, from beginning to end, without ups and downs, without hoarseness.

All are calmly expounding.

"So, you want to tell me that everything can be achieved by working hard?"

Wang Rui spoke, with a much larger number of words than before: "It seems that the revenge today cannot be avenged. As long as you keep working hard, you will be avenged one day?"

"Resolute solution!"

Shang Yang smiled: "I am not a generous person, and I am not willing to persuade others to be generous. My efforts are just to achieve the goal I want. If one day I succeed, I will sit in the head of Zhao Benzhong's family and let them all watch me rush to watch the moment when I move my chopsticks. If I don't eat, they will have to wait, haha... I am still so despicable."

"I also support you and keep working hard until one day, when Li Zhenqian or his driver Zhang Yu have to bow down to your feet, the harm caused by Zhang Zhao will be insufficient. I can't say... you will still be grateful to him!"

When Wang Rui heard Zhang Zhao's name, he was silent again.

I was silent for five minutes: "Can I hug you?"

Shang Yang opened his arms indifferently.

Wang Rui tilted his body, slowly leaned into his arms, hugged him again, and slowly said: "Thank you for your story, I already know what to do!"

Shang Yang's mouth raised slightly and looked into the distance. The sky was already white at some point and it was dawn.

I faintly saw red and blue lights gradually approaching under the white of the fish belly...
