"You scolded the guy next door, you old fool, don't run away!"
On the hot July day, on the streets of Haitian City Antique Market, a boy of sixteen or seventeen was cursing and chasing an old man in his sixties in front of him.
The boy was not very young, but he was over 1.8 meters tall, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth. He was quite handsome. Unfortunately, he was dressed in young and Dangerous clothes, had red hair, and was full of swear words, which ruined his good looks.
At this moment, he is selling a brick in his hand, chasing an old man in his sixties, which makes passers-by sigh: The world is declining, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be.
The strange thing is that the young man ran very fast, even reaching a speed of about 100 meters in ten seconds, but he couldn't catch up with the old man in front of him, which was surprising.
The old man has fair hair and a childlike face, a rosy face, and a white beard that reaches his chest. However, he is a little embarrassed at the moment being chased by the young man.
"Boy, you've been chasing me for two streets, why are you so stubborn? It's just a ring! What's wrong with you!"
"Old immortal, you said this ring is an antique, worth at least 2,000 yuan. I bought it for 100 yuan. Who knew it was only 50 cents from a roadside stall? Give me back 100 yuan, otherwise
I will chase you to the end of the world!"
"Zhou Yu hits the yellow cover. The business of buying and selling is about willing to fight or suffer. I have already sold you the ring and spent all the money. Even if you catch up with me, you still have no money, so you should give up on this idea!"
"You damn old man, I'm not done with you!"
Half an hour later, the young man was lying on the street, panting, and his body was stretched out. The old man had long since disappeared.
"I'm... I'm not... damn... I've practiced... I've practiced... internal skills..." The young man couldn't believe that he, a young man, couldn't catch up with an old man in his sixties. He was on the football field.
But he was notoriously incapable of running away. After chasing him for more than half an hour, he ran at least more than 10,000 meters. Unexpectedly, the old man actually ran away.
It took the boy a long time to catch his breath, then he stood up weakly, holding on to the wall all the way home. Those who didn't know thought that the boy had done something inappropriate for his age!
In the southwest corner of Haitian City, there are dilapidated bungalows everywhere. These bungalows are more than fifty years old, but they are still not included in the scope of demolition. They have also become a slum in Haitian City, where the poorest people in Haitian City live.
a group of people.
When the young man walked into this area, he frowned tightly. Every time he saw the garbage on the ground and the stench in the air, it was unbearable for him, but no matter what, it was to give birth to him and raise him.
Where he has no choice.
"Bibi, you're back!" Walking into a bungalow in a compound, a slightly older woman came out. When she saw the boy, she showed a kind smile on her face: "Bibi, it's warm! There is something in the refrigerator.
Mom just bought a watermelon."
This woman is the boy's mother. She has a very ordinary name - Ma Min, and she is also very ordinary. Whether it is height, appearance, figure, or work, everything about her mother is ordinary, but she has the world.
The most typical trait of a good wife and mother is that she still maintains a sufficiently optimistic attitude even if she lives in a slum with her husband and children.
Looking at his mother, the boy's heart felt like a knife. His mother was not yet forty years old, but her appearance was already linked to her fifty years old. This was all caused by the pressure of life and work that had brought her age in advance, but the most important thing was
The reason lies with the boy, because he has been naughty since he was a child and did not study hard, which made his mother worried.
"Mom..." The young man opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
"Bibi, what's wrong?" The mother looked at her child and saw that he was covered in dust. She patted him gently with her hand and scolded: "Why is he covered in dirt again? Did you fight with someone?"
"No." The young man patted the dirt on his body and said, "I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"
"It's okay if you don't have any." Ma Min breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "There is still some leftover food in the refrigerator. Mom will heat it up for you."
"Well, I'm going to lie down in the room for a while." The boy didn't look at his mother's smiling face anymore and walked into his room silently.
A small cubicle of less than five square meters, a wooden bed, a mat on the bed, a pillow and a sheet on the mat, a row of hooks nailed to the wall, and a few clothes hanging on them. It couldn't be more shabby.
It is a space where a boy has been alone since he was eight years old.
Lying on the bed, looking at the ring on the middle finger of my right hand, I felt more and more uncomfortable.
The boy's father, whose surname was Niu, gave him a very special name - Niu Bi.
Niu Bi's family has been very poor since she can remember. Both her father and mother are ordinary workers at the bottom of society. Their combined monthly salary is only over 3,000 yuan. Such a salary cannot be achieved in a world where inflation is becoming increasingly serious.
In 2026, there will be too few.
Perhaps he felt that he was incompetent. Niu Bi's father had always had a bad temper. In addition, Niu Bi had been dissatisfied since he was a child. Not only was he mischievous and causing trouble, but he was also very bad at studying. The school couldn't tolerate Niu Bi and ordered him to go to school the year before last.
Niu Bi dropped out of school, causing his father to punch and kick Niu Bi at every turn. Every time Niu Bi was beaten, her mother would tearfully give Niu Bi medicine.
Niu Bi never hated his father, because he knew that his father had too high expectations for him, but because of his failure, his father felt despair. As the saying goes, deep love leads to deep hatred. Niu Bi's father
He is just a rough man with no education. The only way to educate his children is with fists, kicks and sticks. Over the years, Niubi has grown up by beating him.
Niu Bi was only fifteen years old when he dropped out of school the year before last, but his tall stature inherited from his father made others not suspicious of his age, and he easily became a loader.
Loading and unloading work is strenuous work, but Niu Bi has never been afraid of hardships and hardships, so his monthly income is more than his parents combined. Finally, his parents feel that Niu Bi is not hopeless.
But not long after, Niu Bi met some unscrupulous people in the society. Their colorful hair and decadent attitude towards life made Niu Bi feel that they matched her image very well, so Niu Bi dyed her black hair
He is red, even his eyebrows are trimmed thin and long, and he is dressed in a tattered denim outfit, making him look like a real-life version of Young and Dangerous.
When Niu Bi's father saw Niu Bi's image, he almost beat Niu Bi to death, but Niu Bi would rather die than dye his hair back. Under Niu Bi's tough attitude, his red hair was saved
, but because of this I stayed in bed for more than half a month.
