An Yi saw that it was almost done, so he and Hu Zi approached the migrant workers, looked around at everyone and said loudly:
"You may have heard Brother Qi talk about me, An Yi. I am from Sichuan. When I first arrived in Guangzhou, I was penniless and without any friends. I lived near the upstream dock like a dog. I almost had my head chopped off.
Then he fell seriously ill and fell unconscious on the street. A brother from Jiangxi who worked in the corpse collection team of the Civil Affairs Bureau saw that I was still alive, dug a hole and couldn't bear to bury me, so he took me out of the mass graveyard in the eastern suburbs.
It was only when I was brought back to the big courtyard on Chaoxing Street that I met Brother Qi. At that time, Brother Qi was still pulling a rickshaw. Every day when he saw me holding on to the wall and going to the hut, he would help the good people and greet and comfort me. This is how I have lived step by step until today. You guys
Say, how much better was I then than you are now?"
The migrant workers looked at each other, looking extremely surprised. Several people who had heard Qi Hui talk about An Yi finally believed that this was a fact. After a while of whispering, the migrant workers looked at An Yi differently.
Seeing that the situation was promising, An Yi immediately took advantage of the victory and added fuel to the fire: "Later, I slowly figured out why we poor people suffered so much and were oppressed and tortured by others? That's because we can't defeat them.
We can only hold our noses and admit it, why can't we beat others? Aren't they all one head, two balls, and four limbs? Don't those who bully us have three balls? No! Everyone is the same if they are naked, and they can't be beaten.
It’s because we are used to being bullied, so as long as we don’t get tortured to death immediately and there is still some hope, and we can still live like a lost wild dog, we just bow our heads and admit it. Am I right? Everyone, answer me!”
The migrant workers lowered their heads and sighed, not daring to look at An Yi's tormenting eyes. Seeing this, An Yi roared loudly: "Why are you hiding? Look up...Open your eyes and look at me.
How are you today? Look around again, how are my brothers today? We are all from poor backgrounds, but now we are a few levels above you. No one dares to bully at least five or six men who can carry a gun.
We have enough food to eat and warm clothes all year round. Even if tomorrow we take up our guns and go to war with those warlords who are sitting on our heads, oppressing and robbing us at will, and even cutting the heads of our family members, brothers and sisters at will.
Even if I am beaten to death, I will live a richer life than you are now, live with more dignity than you, in a word, live like a human being. When I get to the underworld, I can loudly say to the Lord of Hell: I did not reincarnate in this world in vain!"
"Sir, if you are willing to accept me... I will work with you immediately. I don't want to live this day anymore! I..."
A skinny young man of 17 or 18 years old stood up and started crying before he could finish his words. He shouted out loud. Almost half of the people stood up and asked to hang out with An Yi. Qi Hui also came up with tears in his eyes.
I begged An Yi to accept him, otherwise I would have no money, no clothes, no food to cover my body, no food to eat, and I don't know if I would be able to survive tomorrow.
An Yi looked at a group of tearful brothers and couldn't help but moisten his eyes. He separated from the crowd and walked into the crowd. He put his hand on the thin shoulder of the first young man who shouted: "It's the long-bodied one."
At that time... the accent sounds like Jiangxi, right? What's your name?"
"Sir...my surname is Guan, I don't have a given name. Everyone calls me Dong Yazi." Dong Yazi was still wiping tears.
An Yi nodded: "Then come back with me. From today on, I will be your big brother! After you take a shower, put on clean clothes, eat well and sleep well for two days, I will find you a master to teach you how to read.
, how about you become my messenger when you learn how to read?"
"Sir, I am literate. When I was a child, I used to lie behind the private school and eavesdrop on my husband's lectures. The gentleman was kind-hearted and knew that I was eavesdropping but never kicked me out. He even secretly gave me two books behind the back of the boss and clan leader who invited him.
Book." Dong Yazi replied in a low voice.
An Yi laughed: "So I have found a treasure, haha...Old Sichuan!"
"arrive!"
Qu Tongyuan, an old man from Sichuan, ran up quickly and stood at attention. He was so awesome in front of a group of poor guys.
"You take Dong Yazi over and put him in the car first. After returning to the camp, you will take care of him. Listen carefully to me, kid. Don't bully my messenger, otherwise I will ask him to give orders one day.
Here, let your grandson dig a manhole." An Yi ordered.
"Yes! Hehe, company commander, how could I dare? Our Dong Yazi is handsome and literate. One day I will expect him to write a letter to my family for me. Hehe... let's go, brother Yazi.
, I will help you get into the car."
The expressions on Old Sichuan's old face were constantly changing and very vivid, which made many people around him laugh. Dong Yazi nodded and followed him obediently.
An Yi said loudly: "Brothers, listen, I never force anyone. This world is very big, and anyone can go wherever they want. However, I dare to say something to the brothers who have made up their minds to hang out with me. From now on
From today on, as long as I have something to eat, my brothers will not drink soup. Even if there is only soup left, I will let my brothers drink it first, and I will drink the rest. If there is no soup left, I will tighten my stomach.
!This is not a nice word, but an oath that I have made. If I violate it, I will be struck by thunder! Okay, if you are willing to hang out with me, I will take him back to the camp in a car immediately. If you can't finish it in one trip, I will make two trips.
Brothers who are in trouble, please sit down and wait for me to settle down my brothers. I will show you the way. Maybe you can get a few oceans to live for a few more days. Deputy Hu Lian——"
"arrive!"
The tough and stern bearded man announced his arrival loudly.
"Count the number of people and go back home." An Yi ordered loudly.
"yes!"
Beard turned to the migrant workers and shouted loudly: "Brothers who have made up their minds, follow me!"
An Yi felt happy when he saw the number of people in their early 200s following Hu Zi. Now the problem of troop sources was successfully solved. But he still had that careless look on his face, and he looked back at the dozens of people who were still there.
During the tense discussion, the hesitant migrant workers sighed and walked towards the truck filled with migrant workers.
