When the morning sun shone on his face, Chen Qiu slowly opened his eyes.
The weather was cold, especially after this night, it seemed like winter had arrived. Chen Qiu was too tired last night, so he had no choice but to find a cave to light a fire to keep warm, and fell asleep without realizing it.
When I got up, I felt hungry and had a strong thirst.
However, this is not a difficult task for Chen Qiu. When he was a child, he lived in Longming Mountain for so many years. The environment there was much worse than here. It was relatively easy to find food and clothing.
After eating some non-toxic wild fruits, Chen Qiu continued on his way, his goal was Huangcheng.
Huangcheng, like Dongyang City, belongs to Jiangdong Province and is a neighboring city to Jiangcheng. However, compared to Dongyang City and Jiangcheng, Huangcheng's economy is relatively backward in all aspects and its development is not rapid. It is very suitable for Chen Qiu to hide for a period of time.
Chen Qiu looked at the time. According to the current speed, he would be able to reach the outskirts of Huangcheng in the afternoon.
Without the inner strength to protect his body, and with so many injuries on his body, Chen Qiu had to rest almost every half hour of walking to relieve the pain of injured muscles and bones, especially the muscles that seemed to be torn, which made Chen Qiu.
Autumn pain makes me want to live.
Moreover, most of the roads here are mountainous, making it very difficult to walk.
The journey was more difficult than Chen Qiu expected. It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that Chen Qiu finally arrived at the outskirts of Huangcheng.
And he finally saw the village not far away, and vehicles passing by from time to time.
Fortunately, Chen Qiu stopped a taxi.
After getting in the car, Chen Qiu finally had time to take a break, but a feeling of exhaustion came over him. Chen Qiu couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep wrapped in clothes.
I don't know how much time passed, but Chen Qiu slowly opened his eyes and looked at the time. The car had been driving for an hour and a half, but when he looked out the window, he still saw the wilderness. The driver also noticed that Chen Qiu woke up and put the car on his hand.
He threw the cigarette butt out the window and said with a faint smile: "Young man, are you awake?"
Chen Qiu said in a deep voice: "I don't have that much money."
"What?" the driver said, pretending not to understand.
Chen Qiu took out the money from his wallet and put it in front of the driver: "I only have more than a hundred yuan and all my belongings. I have no relatives, and no one is willing to lend me money."
"What are you talking about?" The driver was still pretending to be stupid: "We will be arriving soon, you can sleep a little longer."
Chen Qiu nodded, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
The driver still had some conscience. He originally wanted to take more detours in this deserted place, but Chen Qiu saw through his mind, and in the end he had no choice but to drive towards the city.
At around eight o'clock, the taxi stopped somewhere in the city center. Chen Qiu got out of the car and looked at the tall buildings in front of him, feeling a little confused.
For a moment, he didn't know where to go. He didn't give all the money to the driver. He still had some money on him, but it only had four to five hundred yuan at most. He couldn't support his life at all. After all, he couldn't hide for long.
Definitely, the only way is to find a job temporarily.
But now that he looked too conspicuous, Chen Qiu could only lower his head and avoid the surveillance as much as possible. He bought a peaked cap and put on a mask to cover up the scars on his face.
The hotels nearby are very expensive, and Chen Qiu can't afford to stay there. After having a hearty meal at a roadside noodle shop, Chen Qiu came to the bridge cave. There were stones everywhere to block it, so it was barely too cold. It was not possible to make do with it for one night.
problematic.
This feeling of being displaced was very uncomfortable, with no fixed place to live, and even food and clothing became a problem. Chen Qiu looked at the lights of thousands of houses not far away, feeling inexplicably sentimental in his heart.
After going down the mountain, everything went smoothly for me. With Senior Sister Su by my side, the other senior sisters pampered me extremely, and the difficulties I encountered were all solved with ease. It seemed that I had been living in a warm and peaceful environment. In the sheltered cradle, as Shen Tianyu said, he is a child who will not grow up and can only make waves in a small place like Jiangcheng. If he leaves Su Waner and those who protect him, what will happen to him? To put it bluntly, even living is a difficult problem.
Chen Qiu has never experienced a real society. A society that is separated from warriors and only has reality. Is it really full of intrigues and intrigues as the senior sister once said?
Chen Qiu didn't know. He just felt that he was very pathetic. He even asked Ye Chuxia for his money. Isn't this very sad?
Pretty boy? Eat soft rice?
Chen Qiu didn't care about the mess on the ground anymore. He just lay there quietly, looking up at the stars. What echoed in his ears was the deafening traffic on the bridge. Gradually, his consciousness became blurred, and the sound became louder and louder. The hair is weak.
...
The next day, Chen Qiu woke up and looked at the time. It was twelve o'clock at noon.
This surprised Chen Qiu. He actually slept for more than ten hours.
Although he slept well, Chen Qiu always felt indescribably tired, his body was weak, and his mental state was even worse.
Chen Qiuqiang left Qiaodong energetically. The top priority now is a job. If he doesn't have a job, the money he has will be spent soon. Moreover, his ID card cannot be used because it would be too difficult for the Long family to check. Simple.
Chen Qiu was dirty and looked like a homeless man. He couldn't tell that he was a young man at all.
After searching several places in succession, the other party was too frightened to ask for anything when they saw Chen Qiu's appearance, for fear that Chen Qiu was carrying something.
Chen Qiu couldn't complain, after all, this was human nature.
It was almost evening, and Chen Qiu had gained nothing from the day. He came to a restaurant, ordered a bowl of noodles, and devoured it again.
Just when Chen Qiu was eating enthusiastically, a plate was placed in front of him with a poached egg and chicken legs on it.
Chen Qiu was a little surprised, raised his head and said, "I didn't order this."
What was delivered to Chen Qiu was the front desk of this restaurant. She seemed to be about the same age as Chen Qiu. She showed a sweet smile: "I invited you."
"This..." Chen Qiu scratched his head, not knowing what to do, so he could only say with some shame: "Thank you, but I will give you the money."
"I told you I would treat you." The girl frowned and curled her lips and said, "Why are you so ignorant?"
After that, the girl turned and left. Chen Qiu was a little confused, but still very moved inside.
After eating, Chen Qiu came to the front desk. The girl was lowering her head to pay. When she felt someone coming, she raised her head and chuckled: "Have you finished eating?"
"Yes!" Chen Qiu nodded: "Thank you."
The girl said disapprovingly: "You're welcome."
"Then what..." Chen Qiu said a little embarrassedly: "Do you know where I can find a job now?"
The girl raised her eyebrows: "Are you looking for a job?"
Chen Qiu hummed: "Yes, it's best if food and accommodation are included."
"Then you might as well work here!" The girl said with a smile: "Our store is looking for a waiter. Can you endure hardship?"
"Okay!" Chen Qiu said firmly.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll call the boss." The girl turned and left the front desk, apparently to call the boss.
After a while, a strong man walked out of the kitchen, followed by a very gentle middle-aged woman.
The strong man lit a cigarette and looked at Chen Qiu: "Do you want to work here?"
Chen Qiu nodded hurriedly: "Yes! Is that okay? I can endure hardship."
"Okay." The strong man waved to the girl at the front desk, and the girl took out a contract from the drawer and handed it to the strong man.
The strong man handed the contract to Chen Qiu again: "Three thousand a month, food and accommodation included. Sign the contract."
Chen Qiu said with a smile: "I, I don't have an ID card."
This moment made the strong man wary. After all, in this day and age, who doesn't have an ID card? Unless the identity is suspicious, or the person who has committed a crime is unwilling to take out the ID card.
Chen Qiu saw the other party's concerns and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, I had a quarrel with my family and chose to run away from home. I don't want my family to find me." In desperation, Chen Qiu could only tell a lie.
.
"Okay." The strong man felt relieved and said calmly: "Looking at your young age, you don't look like someone who has committed a crime. Even if you have committed a crime, you don't dare to work here. But since you can't sign the contract, then
The salary also needs to be less, two thousand yuan, can you accept it?"
"Okay, thank you." For now, having a place with food and accommodation included is already considered a mistake. Chen Qiu is not qualified to bargain: "Then when can I go to work?"
The strong man looked at the time: "Let's start from today and let Xiaohui teach you."
