life struggle

As the saying goes, peers are enemies. 【 】Wu Xiaojun was taken aback for a moment, looked at the man carefully, and recognized that he was a vendor selling books in this night market. Did he deliberately come here to find fault with me for fear of affecting his business, and said calmly, " Brother, it’s not as serious as you said, there are many people selling pirated books in this market, and no one said they would confiscate them, and I haven’t seen anyone whose books have been confiscated.”

The man said, "Young man, I remind you with good intentions, don't toast and eat fine wine, you will regret it later. I'm not talking big, only I, Han San, dare to sell books in this market, even It is a pirated book. No one else dares to settle here. If you don’t believe me, you can inquire about it. Today I will tell you something here, and you must disappear here after tomorrow night. If not, there will be good fruits for you, you see Let’s do it, be smart.” After speaking, he walked away shaking his hands behind his back.

Han San's words reminded Wu Xiaojun that when he was in Yuanzhen, he often heard that there was a city tyrant in the county square, forcibly collecting protection fees, buying and selling by force, and monopolizing operations. Could this be a city tyrant or a rogue.There are rules in the industry, and there are rules in the family. Whether they are written or unspoken, they are constantly running. Most of the time, everyone knows it well.In real life, not to mention the big aspects, but in terms of small aspects, it can be said to be everywhere, such as petty theft, trash collection, excavation of manure, garbage transportation, etc., there is an invisible hand always manipulating Those who hold and control have a complete set of internal rules, and they are quite strict, making it difficult for outsiders to enter.They delineate their respective spheres of influence, basically stealing, receiving goods, digging out excrement, and clearing garbage on their respective one-third of an acre of land, and never extend their hands to other people's land.Anyone who crosses the line is a foul, and will be punished, deported, or even injured. The price to pay is relatively heavy, and it is all for living. Almost no one dares to touch the bottom line, unless it is a different or different kind.

Wu Xiaojun thought to himself, a metropolis with a sound legal system, formal and strict management, people from all over the world, a hundred schools of thought contending, and an active and open metropolis should not have the phenomenon of eating alone that is unique to small places. Han San is just scaring himself, and he will not No matter what waves you make, you can sell it as you want.But on another thought, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must not have the intention of being defensive. In the future, you still need to pay more attention and take more precautions.

In the evening of the next day, Wu Xiaojun came to the room that Wang Ping and his girlfriend Hu Xiaohui rented outside the school to pick up the books they had kept. It's going well, the people there are mixed and the law and order are very chaotic, especially those small businesses and hawkers. They are all thieves. The most envious thing is that others surpass you. Once someone earns more money than you, they will try to find trouble and make you mess up. It can’t be done, it often happens that the head is broken with a knife, so you have to be more careful.”

Wu Xiaojun knew the seriousness of the problem when he heard it, so he had to tell Hu Xiaohui what Han San said last night, "Sister Xiaohui, the situation won't be so complicated and serious. This book is not a big deal, it won't affect Han San."

"I hope so, but I still don't think you should go tonight, lest there be any mistakes."

"It's okay. Even if Han San looks for something, he can't find a place to go. If I can bear it, I will bear it. At worst, I won't sell it and go elsewhere."

Wu Xiaojun still came to the night market as usual and continued to set up stalls.The business was really good. I was busy bargaining all night, and was about to close the stall. Four small crewmen came over, with their hands in their trouser pockets, shaking their legs constantly, looking at Wu Xiaojun, and then at the books on the floor. A tall man bent over, turned around for a long time, picked up a book, stood up straight and asked Xiaojun, "Book seller, how much is this book?"

Xiaojun took it over, looked at it, and said, "Eight yuan."

The tall one said impatiently, "The price of your book is too expensive, I'll give you two yuan."

Xiaojun said, "This is a best-selling book. It is so thick and has a lot of content. Two yuan is definitely not enough, at least six five yuan."

"Why not, what kind of book, it costs [-] yuan. Let me tell you, I will order this book, and I will give you at most - [-] yuan. That's it." As he spoke, he took out the money and threw it at Wu Xiaojun, "here, go ahead, two yuan and five."

The other three laughed and said, "Two yuan and five, let's go."

Xiaojun felt that something was wrong, and the hero didn't take the loss in front of him, and blurted out, "Ah, ah, brothers, how can you talk like this, it's clearly not buying a book, but cursing someone. Forget it, take it away, I don’t want the money for this book, I’ll give it to you for free.”

The tall one was a little angry, "What, what, no money, what do you think of the brothers, as beggars, brothers, who would want your book for nothing. Your book itself is two yuan and five books, what do you mean? It means that the number of brothers is worth two yuan and five dollars, and you are obviously scolding the brothers for two yuan and five dollars. You think the brothers are all fools, you can’t tell, and you want to die, don’t you?” A small crew cut raised his eyebrows and widened his eyes , and leaned in front of Xiaojun, and the other two also surrounded him.

Xiaojun saw that the situation was not good, so he had to say, "Brother, brother, don't mind, let me be wrong, please, please let me be wrong."

The tall man said, "What's the matter, what do you say is wrong, you mean that you are right, the man is wrong, brothers, are we men wrong, this kid called us two dollars and five, brothers said what to do."

A little man with a wicked face said, "Brother, this kid is really a bully. Where have we suffered from this? What else can we do? Don't talk nonsense to him, just two words - flatter him, brothers!" , on one piece."

Before the words were finished, the four of them raised their fists and rushed towards Wu Xiaojun like wolves and tigers, hitting them head to head.Seeing that the opponent was approaching menacingly and the situation was not good, Xiaojun hurriedly dodged and retreated, but was knocked to the ground by a sweeping leg from a person behind him. Beat up.Just at this time, I only heard someone "ah, ouch, mom" a few times, and "thump, thump, thump" fell to the ground.

It turned out that Wang Ping was an intern at the affiliated hospital on the night shift. He just got off work and passed by the night market to buy some daily necessities such as toothbrush, toothpaste and soap.Seeing how miserable Wu Xiaojun was being beaten up close, he immediately became angry from his heart, and the evil turned to the guts. He flew up and kicked the tall man with a flat head. land.Wang Ping was tall, big, and muscular. Taking advantage of the situation, he swung his bow left and right, and used both fists and feet. In an instant, the four of them were staggering to and fro, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.Wang Ping stepped on the waist of a man with hatred. The man pawed the ground with all four feet and couldn't move. He grabbed the collar of the tall man with a crew cut, lifted it up like a chicken, and shouted sharply, "Quickly, why are you here?" This beating, what exactly is going on, if you don’t tell the truth, I will definitely beat you to death today.”

Seeing that the visitor was not kind, the tall man with a flat head begged bitterly, "Brother, please forgive me. I said, I said, this brother set up a stall here, which affects the business of our boss Han San. The boss asked him not to sell here anymore. Immediately disappeared from the market, he did not give the boss face, he did what the boss wanted, and continued to set up a stall here. The boss was very annoyed, and asked us to teach him a lesson, don’t be ignorant, give him some color, let him try it, and grow longer Memory, that's all, really don't care about our business, really don't care about our business, big brother, please spare your life."

As soon as Wang Ping heard it, he understood that Xiaojun had run into local snakes, and there must be no good results if he messed with them.Get out quickly, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, and it is not suitable to make a big fuss about it, just teach them a simple lesson. If the delay is too long, once the police come, it will be more troublesome to take them to the police station. It's a fine, and Xiaojun can't take advantage of it, so it's fine to suffer from being dumb, "I tell you, I am happy today, brother, and I will spare you for the time being without waiting for your general knowledge. In my hands, I will never forgive you lightly, so hurry up and get out."

"Thank you big brother, thank you big brother, I must be honest, I must be honest, I will never dare again." Lian scrambled and ran away.

Wang Ping gently pulled Wu Xiaojun up. Xiaojun's face was covered with blood, bruised and purple, "Xiaojun, how are you? Are you okay? Hurry up and pack up your things. I'll take you to the hospital for proper treatment."

Xiaojun said with a painful face, "Brother Wang, thank you, I have caused you trouble. I blamed me for not listening to Sister Xiaohui, otherwise there would be nothing like this. Ouch, Ouch, it hurts me to death .”

Wang Ping said distressedly, "Nothing is troublesome, as long as there is no major incident. There is nothing to complain about. It is a blessing or a disaster. If you are a disaster, you can't avoid it. If you suffer from it, you will learn a lot of wisdom. It's all about paying tuition and buying lessons." Yes. This place is usually very messy, so don’t come here again, you can’t give up your life just to earn a little money, remember, safety first.”

Fortunately, there were no injuries. There were three obvious scars on his forehead, and other parts of his face were mostly scratches, and many places on his body were bruised and bruised.Wang Ping cleaned Xiaojun carefully and gave him some medicine in the hospital.It wasn't until eleven o'clock that Xiaojun quietly returned to the dormitory.

Wu Xiaojun lay on the bed, his whole body ached, his face was hot, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.When people encounter difficulties, they often feel homesick, think of a safe haven that can protect them, and miss their family and parents even more. This may be human instinct and nature.The old figure of the father appeared in front of his eyes, as if there was something difficult to understand, his face was full of mourning, his hands were behind his back, his head was lowered, he paced anxiously back and forth, and refused to leave for a long time.Since entering school, I have sent several letters, but only received one reply, how is my family, how are my parents, is there something wrong?Xiaojun didn't dare to think about it any further, the more he thought about it, the more he worried and frightened, he forcibly restrained himself, restrained himself, and nightmares followed one after another like a shadow.
