critical value

I was young when I left home, and because I haven't had contact with my childhood family for a long time now, I don't remember very clearly my childhood past and family background. Hao should be the same.

I just remember that after our parents were arrested and imprisoned, the two of us were taken care of by my sister who was 8 years older, and my brother-in-law who was 9 years older. Impressed.Anyway, it’s just that it’s not good for us, because Hao suddenly called me up in the middle of the night one day, and then the two of them took some things and ran away, and never went back.

In fact, I didn’t think so at the time, I just thought that it would be great if my sister and brother-in-law could pay more attention to us by running away from home this time. Hao was willing to seduce him.The two of them sat on a free train with peace of mind, went north to north, and inexplicably arrived at a large refrigerator in our country, and then somehow, Hao made a routine for the traffickers again, and happily parted with the traffickers, shaking We got off the bus in Jilin...

Traffickers are too tender...

I don’t remember where my hometown is, and I don’t remember where my sister’s house is. Let alone the specific address, I don’t even remember the city and province. Maybe it’s because my childhood life was too hard, or maybe our life after that is too moist .

I feel like neither of those.

Because the life was so bad, it was even worse than the worst childhood life in the illusion.

When I first arrived in Jilin, I felt like I was going to lose my mind. In fact, when the two of us depended on each other for life, I feel very empty when I think about it now——

Because I don’t have a lot of money, no parents, and no ID card, so I feel a bit contrasted when I stay in a crowded place, so I ran to a very remote place, it seems to be next to a big river, at the foot of a mountain, grow trees.That small area seemed to be disconnected from the whole city, obviously it couldn't go far, and it was immediately bustling with people, but it was like returning to the primitive society.

I don't know if it is the container that was eliminated during the river transportation, but I didn't want to pay the handling fee, so I threw it in a place along the river with a little shade of trees.There is a hole in one corner of the container, you can get in with a little bow, and then it's even more weird, it seems that there used to be people living in it...

I don't know if it is the secret meeting place of Sao Nian in the novel, but they broke up during that time and never came again.I don’t know where I moved a three-seater sofa that was not used by other people’s homes, and the inside was not as dark and humid as imagined, so we relied on the little money we took out of the house, lying on the sofa, and the weather was already slightly cold. In the environment, live in a tin box for a little two or three weeks.

Winter arrives very fast, and it gets cold very quickly. Every day, even with the sun shining, the iron house still can’t be warmed up. The walls are so cold you almost stick your fingers to them.Hao said it was too cold here, and if we continued to live, the soles of our feet would stick, so we moved out.

In fact, I couldn't bear it since I first moved in, because when it rained, the raindrops hit the iron roof, which sounded like the sound effects of ghost movies, and often scared me so much that I couldn't sleep at night. .....

But Hao seemed to be sleeping soundly next to him.

After that, we moved to a small one-story house nearby. The rent was very cheap, the furniture was complete, and even the bedding was provided as a gift, because the previous resident was lying in the quilt, taking drugs and then "cracking" to death, so We move in completely with bags, and the rent is very cheap.The location here is actually not particularly bad, it is the kind of village in the city, the nail house, the price was originally 400 a month for a room, and then because someone died recently, it was reduced to 200 for us.

But after all, it is still a village in the city, and the environment is not good. I don’t think I need to talk about material things. The point is that our neighbors in the same courtyard are all good ideas!But Hao seemed very happy, he said: "I like this place, it's like home."

In fact, Sister Jizi is very kind to us, probably because she is very rare to children. Sometimes she will give us snacks and the like. If we go to eat hot pot together, she will invite the two of us, and she will take us to play cards in the middle of the night. Willing to lend us money... Hao and I were 10 years old at that time. It took a while to find out that Sister Jizi was only 5 years older than us.

They don't often stay at home, because they don't have a bit of capital like me and Hao, and they can support their families without making money.But this kind of life didn't last long, not to mention that we are still the kind of children who don't understand what "saving" means.So the two of us have to work hard for no reason. Hao and I do child labor together. He seems to be very good at it, but I can’t do it at all. Because of my drag, he still has to stay with me. After being fired, finally one day, he was fed up with such "involvement", and told me that he could stay at home all the time in the future, and he didn't have to do anything, but he had to save money.

After that, I have no idea what he was doing.

But what can be confirmed is that he is no longer a serious child laborer, but is doing some illegal things.Picking up money, threatening peers, I thought he was doing these things, especially after that—

It was a blue boy who looked like a junior high school student. He came running with a baseball bat in his hand. The doors were all unlocked and ajar. He probably didn’t enjoy the fun of breaking in. He ran to Hao and I for no reason. In the bedroom, standing in front of the bed where someone died, pointed a baseball bat at my head and began to scold and question me.

If it was just talking, I would understand. He was just repeating "Where did you put my money?!", "What did you do with my money!?", I was helpless, so I had to Say "Huh?" "What are you talking about?"It looks like I'm pretending to be stupid, but in fact I really don't know...

He burst into tears, saying that I was not very arrogant before?Isn't there someone behind it?

But I don't make it...

Then he let out a "know" like he was dying, raised his baseball bat and was about to hit me, and then he fell down with a "boom" because of the swelling.Then I saw Hao's backlit figure, holding a shovel, as if smiling sinisterly.After that, Hao asked me to watch him, went out and bought a stack of Ming coins, took out a few and stamped them, stuffed them into his mouth, and then left him on the side of the road to lie on his stomach.

When I was plugging Ming coins, I asked him: "Brother, what are you doing?"

He smiled innocently and said, "Hush money~"

After that, the coward really never came, and no one came again. It was a long time before I began to suspect that it was actually the effect of the postmark.

It was also at that time that I found out that Hao had already started messing around a long time ago, and he was quite powerful. He belonged to a small team that cut human organs, and this small team belonged to a very powerful organ group. , and the advantage of being very cute, responsible for deceiving the target to a suitable place to attack.

In fact, this job is quite suitable for him, because isn't he able to fool the traffickers?

But in fact, I don't want him to do this. If he had been a child laborer in a good manner at that time, he would not have joined that organization, and he would not have been chased and killed by the old and young master because of the organization's involvement, nor would he have been watched by the young and old for no reason. In the middle, it will not join the current Qing Dynasty legacy, nor will it die for it...

In fact, if you think about it carefully, if he doesn't help cut the meat, we will live a life of poverty for the rest of our lives, without enough food and clothing.But it doesn't matter, at least the two of us can live together...

That winter, the old and young master was wearing a white suit and a large white velvet cloak. He was shivering from the cold and came chasing us in the middle of the night. He also walked through the door in an orderly manner, and then stepped into the trap. In the middle of the day, the whole person was hanged upside down, and there was a broken bucket with thorns on his body-in fact, there was no other meaning, and no one was so predictable, just to prevent junior high school students from hitting us with baseball bats .

Therefore, the action of taking away the entire organ group under the pretext of "you are stealing our business", except for the route of the old and young master personally beating the child, all of them were successful and could not be more successful.

I don't know what we said to the old and young master, or how we laughed at him, but he actually took a special fancy to the two of us and wanted to take us away.Especially Hao, he can tell at a glance that Hao is the child who joined the organization and fooled others to send him to death every day.Of course, it can be seen that this trap was made by Hao.

I paid attention to the postmark again because when we were about to leave and pack our things, the old and young master patiently supervised us and carefully taught us what to bring and what not to bring. At that time, Hao wanted to put the postmark in the bag , the old and young master said: "Forget it, why do you still keep the things of the previous master? Now they are all gone."

It was only at that time that I began to suspect that the real threat to junior high school students was this stamp, which had already been contacted by the organization.

Although Hao said reluctantly at that time: "Eh? It's rare to keep a souvenir, it might be worth a lot in a few hundred years..."

But he still threw the poke away, and under the guidance of the old and young master, he installed the wad of ghost coins.
