Chapter 169 Darkness
After a day of rest, Li Tian's fever had basically recovered. It was Saturday tomorrow. He decided to go to Yan Feng because he had not contacted her for several days.
In the morning, I still went shopping with the two girls, and returned to "Suxi Huang" in the afternoon. In the evening, I finally tasted Zhou Min's skills again. Yan Feng was so happy that she had to go to the kitchen to help.
Everyone had a happy meal. After eating, Yan Feng suddenly remembered that he had not bought fruits yet. He was about to go down to buy them but Li Tian stopped him.
"I'll go, you can talk to Sister Zhou!" Li Tian said to Yan Feng with a smile, and then walked outside. Of course, Li Tian went to buy fruits, and as a reward, Yan Feng and Zhou Min rewarded Li Tian with a kiss.
It was already late autumn, and the weather was really cold. Before I could walk to the supermarket, I saw a farmer who was pushing a tricycle to buy oranges by the way. The wrinkles on her face made people unable to tell her age. She was wearing a torn cotton dress and she had a hard life. Looking at the other party, Li Tian was not feeling good. Compared to them, she was like living in heaven. And they represented the vast majority of the peasant brothers and sisters in China.
Farmers are the greatest, but they often live the poorest lives. Thinking of the scum of the surname Tian, Li Tian felt that God sometimes is really unfair.
When I came to her fruit stall, I bought everyone I bought. After weighing five kilograms of oranges, I was about to walk back. Suddenly I saw a familiar figure on the corner of the street, which was Song Yang. Seeing his frowning look, I knew that he must be in a bad life now.
"Song Yang!" Li Tian called him from afar.
"It's Brother Li, is there anything?" Song Yang raised his head after hearing someone calling him. When he saw that it was Queen Li, he looked a little happy, but his eyes kept avoiding Li Tian's gaze.
"How about drinking some wine?" Li Tian didn't understand? He pointed to a bar on the side of the road and said.
"Yeah!" Hearing Li Tian's words, Song Yang thought for a while, then nodded.
"Are you doing well?" Li Tian asked at the other party after calling two glasses of red wine.
"I am now an unemployed vagrant!" Song Yang sighed, then looked up at Li Tian, "Brother Li, I want to thank you. Mr. Xu has told me that it was your love for me. Otherwise, I will really not be able to face Wang Gang and the others in the future!"
"Don't say so much, but why did you agree to Taitian Company to do this? Didn't you think of the consequences when you did it?" Li Tian frowned and asked at the other party.
"It's all my fault that I was young and ignorant and overestimated myself. I always thought I knew everything, and I should get a higher salary and have better treatment. Suddenly one day, the deputy manager of Taitian Company found me and wanted to buy the customer information and some quotations in Meiya at a high price. At that time, my department happened to be in charge of this. I was obsessed with the money and suddenly agreed. You know, now there are college students everywhere. It's hard to find a job, and my family is not very wealthy. When I see so much money, my defense line in my heart was destroyed. So I did so many things that harm Meiya. I deserve to die!" After Song Yang said that, he slapped his own mouth hard with his hands, but Li Tian did not stop him. Because he also felt that he should suck.
"It's because it's hard to find, so you should cherish that job. You have done a good job, so why do you do such a confused thing? To be honest, when I know you are, you don't know how disappointed I was!" Li Tian shook his head and took a sip of wine and said.
"Brother Li, I know you have always regarded us as your brothers. We admire you very much. You have left Meiya and still care about me so much. Thank you very much!" Song Yang said seriously, holding Li Tian's hand.
"Don't mention those. Tell me what your plans are in the future?" Li Tian asked, patting the other person on the shoulder.
"Plan? Hey, I don't know. I suddenly left Meiya and felt everything changed. I have been staying at home these days. I haven't done anything!" Song Yang lowered his head and sighed.
"Don't be so depressed. In fact, there are still many opportunities. It's just to see if you will fight for it." Li Tian looked at the other party and explained.
"It's hard!" Song Yang said after taking a sip of wine.
"Of course it's difficult to start again. But you are not afraid of anything, you are afraid that you won't even give yourself the chance to start again, and you will never have a chance!" Li Tian said to the other party.
"Huh!" Hearing Li Tian's words, Song Yang let out a deep breath, then looked at Li Tian gratefully and said, "Thank you, Brother Li. After hearing these words today, I feel much better. I will work hard in the future and will not disappoint you."
"It's not that I won't disappoint me, but that I won't disappoint you yourself. Remember, the road to successful people is bumpy. If you want to succeed, you should strive for it yourself. There is no shortcut to take it. The most important thing is to be honest in success. Remember these. After experiencing this, you have also learned a lesson, summarize it carefully, and then start again." Li Tian patted Song Yang's shoulder and said encouragemently.
"Yeah, I understand!" Hearing Li Tian's encouragement, Song Yang's eyes were red, and he was really grateful to Li Tian.
He chatted with Song Yang for a while before leaving the bar, but when he walked out of the bar, Li Tian, who was in a good mood, suddenly became worse when he saw the scene in front of him.
The peasant woman who sold fruits just now was now protecting her fruit stall among the broken oranges on the ground. Her thin and obviously malnourished body was helpless by several big and thick men. She tried her best to protect her tricycle with her body, as if this tricycle was more important than her life.
She shouted, no one knew what she was calling, but it didn't matter, because everyone around could see that these men wanted to pull her down and then snatch her tricycle away, and their fists kept falling on her and their hair fell down, but they couldn't separate her from the tricycle.
Li Tian was carrying the oranges she bought with, his hands kept trembling, and he looked coldly at the peasant woman who sold him more than half an hour ago and quarreled with these men.
Although he had not been to school for a day, he knew that taking it without complaining was called stealing.
It is called a robber. But they are not robbers, or they are not robbers in name. In fact, even robbers are not willing to steal a tricycle these days. They are wearing uniforms, but there are no robbers in this world? This uniform shows that they are government workers, and there is an armband on the arm of the uniform. The two words written on it are their duties, and their duties are like this. Those two words are urban management.
It really embarrassed that Li Tian was seeing such a scene in the capital Beijing in modern society.
Somehow, Li Tian actually remembered the palace envoys who forced to buy charcoal in "The Charcoal Seller". I think this is the case! But these modern palace envoys don't have charcoal, but what they want is a car. The ancient palace envoys at least gave the old man who sold charcoal half a piece of red silk and one zhang of silk. After the current palace envoys snatched the car, they also asked the car owner to redeem it with money!
The peasant woman was still screaming. Her eyes were bloodshot and her hair was messy. She was crying and beating and waving her thin arms to defend her tricycle, as if she had already regarded the car as her life. Look at her. The income of the tricycle may be to pay for the increasing tuition and miscellaneous fees and book fees of her child who was eager to study, and to pay for the soaring medical expenses of her husband who was lying in bed. Otherwise, who would have the heart to let her beloved wife come out of school? Once she lost the tricycle, her child might be out of school and her husband might die of illness. So what is the point of living? So she wants to defend her tricycle.
Losing a tricycle means losing her only source of income. Maybe she will snatch her knife and commit suicide in the great May like the female owner of a black car in distant Guangzhou, or die on the streets of December like the cold northern country of vegetables.
Li Tian, who once was constantly wandering between life and death, knew that this was a world of forest laws. The survival of the weak is the law of survival, but why? Why are there a wealth of food that can be used to fill and waste every day. Still, even a thin mouse is unwilling to let go?
They held the peasant woman down and began to try to pull the peasant woman's fingers away from the car, but the dry hands that looked like the roots of the village were even stronger than the lock. They tried harder to pull them away. The peasant woman grabbed the handlebars firmly.
The dog finally got impatient.
A fat man walked out of the car behind and looked at the epaulette on his shoulders. It should be the leader of this group of people.
"Brother, you can do it..." The peasant woman opened her chapped lips and squeezed out a sentence from her throat. Although perhaps the men present were much younger than her. The peasant woman looked at the fat domain captain in front of her with begging eyes.
The fat captain looked at the peasant woman coldly, then turned his head and swept the five big and three thick urban management team members with disdainful eyes, and hummed from his nostrils, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with their incompetence.
With a "bang!", a big mouth slapped the peasant woman hard in the face.
"Let her go this time, it's so pitiful..." Before an old man in his fifties could finish his words, the fat captain glared at him fiercely.
Li Tian's heart suddenly felt a huge pain, which was the cry of conscience from the dark and dark valley bottom of his heart. Looking at the crowd around him, there were people who were gloating, a voice kept rolling in his mind and echoed: "At first they persecuted the ***, but I didn't speak because I was not a believer of Marx; later they persecuted the Jews, but I didn't speak because I was a German; later they persecuted the Catholics, but I didn't speak because I was a Protestant pastor; in the end they persecuted me, but I looked around, but no one could speak for me again." A German pastor said the above words at a commemorative gathering after the end of World War II.
Today, in this world, if we do not help each other, we will be swallowed one by one! Although Li Tian knew that these urban management's behavior of confiscating tricycles was carried out in accordance with the regulations, their rude actions made Li Tian's inner anger unconsciously burn.
