Hu Huo came out of the train station with a bag on his back, like a migrant worker entering the city, he didn't care about others' scrutiny, and just walked forward on his own.

He came to find his brother. Since his brother left home four years ago, he never went back, and he didn't even call him once, except to regularly deposit money in the card that the two brothers used together.

Just after the college entrance examination, he wanted to come to this city to try his luck. The neighbors who went out to work with his brother all said that his brother lost contact with them here.

When his elder brother Hu Yan finished high school, seeing the family situation getting more and more difficult, the elder brother had no choice but to go out to work as soon as he graduated from high school, so that his younger brother could study hard.

It was midsummer in June, and the sun was high. Hu Huo covered his eyes with his hand when he went out, the sun was too vicious.The stimulation of the sunlight made his light brown pupils shrink.He was carrying a bulging black schoolbag, which contained a change of clothes, a few books, some cash, and the bank card he shared with his brother.

The moment he came out, a group of middle-aged women with signs such as "accommodation" came to Hu Huo and asked him if he wanted to stay. He looked at the people around him and found that there were also people who had the same experience as himself. , Those people waved their hands and refused without answering, so he knew it was not a good thing, so he politely rejected those middle-aged women who solicited customers.

He followed the direction with the most traffic and arrived at a bus stop, but he had no choice but to leave again.I walked slowly to an empty square in front of the train station by myself, watching people coming and going, but I didn't know where I should go.

He just swayed back and forth like this, with bits and pieces of mud on his shoes.

Looking at the beautiful girls in shorts and "umbrellas" in front of you, the young couples walking on the road making fun of each other, the children leaning on their parents acting like a baby, the wide and flowing road in front of you, and the towering buildings across the street. With the skyscrapers in the clouds, Hu Huo really realized that he was in a strange place. There were no classmates who worked together, no familiar folks, and there were only people and things he didn't know.

Taking a deep breath, Hu Huo knew that he needed to find a place to live first, but the city is so big, where can he find it? After all, this is his first time in the city.

The black/car drivers outside the venue looked at his hesitant figure and waited for an opportunity. Finally, someone couldn't hold back, strode towards him and asked him where he was going.

They are old fritters here, which ones are newcomers and which ones are old ones, you can tell at a glance.

Hu Huo seemed that the person who asked him was dressed decently, and looked at the direction he was coming from. It was a place where some taxis were parked. Not very deceptive.

He thought for a while and said to the taxi driver, "Take me to the nearest place to live."

The driver led him to one of them, opened the door and let him in. The service attitude was very good.After he got into the car, he kicked the accelerator and left the wide and empty square.

There was not much traffic jam at this time, the driver soon came to a hotel, put him down, and took him into the hotel personally. The driver greeted the hotel front desk a few times before saying to the front desk: "This little brother This is the first time you come to City H, you can give him a cheaper price."

The front desk of the hotel smiled: "Of course, the guests you brought." Then he took out the price list and showed it to Hu Huo. When he saw the price on the list, Hu Huo was dumbfounded. Staying here for one night is almost worth the price. That's enough to pay for his meal for a month.

The front desk looked at his appearance and pointed to a room with a double bed of 599 yuan a night and said to Hu Huo, "We are currently discounting this, and it only costs 399 yuan now." People like them who are not familiar with this place immediately retreated.

He politely said to the driver who brought him in: "Thank you for bringing me here, but it's too expensive here, I don't have so much money, I can't afford it." After finishing speaking, he wanted to leave the hotel and find a place to live by himself down, even if it will be a little difficult.

The driver and the front desk winked, and the front desk seemed to press something.

Hu Huo just took a step when the driver grabbed his arm, and the driver said to him with a grim face: "Little brother, this is the only place where you can stay in this area. You are a foreigner, and you can't find anything now." Where you live, just stay here obediently."

Hu Huo wanted to break away from him and continue walking, but unexpectedly, two burly men with sticks in their hands poured out from the exit of the hotel.Looking at them, Hu Huo felt a little apprehensive, but he had never encountered such a battle before.

The driver and the front desk looked at Hu Huo with smiles, thinking that this would deter him.

It seems that this method has not been used infrequently before.

Hu Huo was a little flustered. He was a poor boy with nothing. He was carrying a broken bag that had been used for six or seven years, and he was wearing a worn-out t-shirt with loose stitches and a pair of jeans that were washed so white that they would be worn out. , on a pair of broken knockoff shoes that have been worn for two years.

Those people just looked at him with smiles, without doing anything, the driver who was holding his arm had already let him go, and he was calculating the possibility of escape in his mind.

At this time, in front of him was the front desk standing behind the counter and the black taxi driver who tricked him to come here, and behind him were two thugs holding sticks near the door. After thinking about it in despair, the possibility of running away was close to zero. .

He really didn't have so much cash in his pocket, except for the bank card he shared with his brother, he had no money.

The people on both sides became quiet for a while, and there was a subtle confrontation, which seemed to be full of wind and rain.

The time passed bit by bit, obviously it was only a minute or two, I don't know if it was because the weather was too hot or he was too scared, Hu Huo's back was already wet with sweat.

He looked at the playful faces of those people, and he no longer cared about how many people had been cheated like him. At this moment, he just wanted to escape.

The atmosphere became tense a little bit.

The driver said to him again: "Little brother, I really don't lie to you, there is really no place to live nearby, why not just stay here, huh?"

Hu Huo didn't speak, just looked at the few people expressionlessly, but his heart was getting colder and colder. Although it was June, it made him feel the bone-piercing coldness of the twelfth lunar month.

The receptionist blinked at the two thugs standing at the door, and the two thugs walked towards Hu Huo knowingly, knocking on their palms with the sticks in their hands.

It's time to do it!Hu Huo thought to himself.

Seeing the right time, Hu Huo suddenly ran towards the hotel entrance, hoping that he could escape.

However, as soon as he made a move, he was picked up by two people walking towards him, each with one arm, as simple as catching a chick.

Hu Huo is 18 years old this year, with a height of 185. Among his peers, he is really not thin. However, in front of two men with big arms and round waists, he is indeed as thin as a chicken.

The two men lifted him to a dark corner of the hotel, Hu Huo looked back at the driver and the front desk, the two looked at him with a wicked smile, Hu Huo shivered.

The two thugs who brought him didn't say anything, they just pushed him to the ground and started punching and kicking him.

Hu Huo curled up, protecting his head with one hand, and clutching his bag tightly with the other, without saying a word, not even showing a painful expression.

But the person who hit someone felt even more unhappy because of his appearance. The person who was usually beaten had already begged for mercy, and the person in front of him just curled up like this with his thin body compared to them, just from time to time. Moaning in pain, the two vented on Hu Huo even more angrily. Even the driver and the receptionist who stood watching the show joined in the abuse.

For a moment, Hu Huo felt that he was going to die here, and he was about to die before he found his brother and had time to say goodbye.

Hu Huo suddenly turned his head and stared at the people, his eyes glowing green, thinking that he might really die here, but even if he was a ghost, he would not let them go.These people also knew that he was a foreigner with no relatives and no reason. As long as he died here, as long as he was handled well, it is not impossible to hide it.

The beating people looked at the green light in his eyes, and felt a little scared in their hearts. They all wanted to back off and stay away from Hu Huo. However, the green light seemed to have some magical power. Being attracted, he stared at Hu Huo's eyes involuntarily, his consciousness had already started to become chaotic, but his eyes couldn't do without the green light.Slowly, black vortices appeared in front of their eyes, making them sink involuntarily.

The hotel lobby was extremely quiet at this time.

Those who are attracted by the green light are no longer those cute companions who abused them together, but a thing they have never seen before. The thing has human limbs, but its face is not a human face. Pointy ears, hands that look like human hands, nails, no, they should be claws, extremely sharp, as if scratched by it, the whole person will be torn apart, and the most important thing is that there is a long trail behind it. fluffy big tail.

Several people were already filled with fear. They wanted to escape from here, but found themselves in a small, dark space, as if the bright lights in the hotel lobby just now were fake.

The fear in their hearts made them unable to even make a sound. Seeing that the monster was about to jump up and devour them, finally, the survival instinct made them start to fight back, and they began to attack the jumping monsters with their bare hands. Fear gave them strength .

Those monsters just look scary, and their fighting power doesn't seem to be that strong, the two tough thugs thought in their hearts.

In the eyes of the front desk and the driver, this monster is indeed ferocious and invincible.

Hu Huo, who was beaten and lying on the ground, felt very strange. Those people were punching and kicking him just now, why they suddenly started attacking each other as if they were possessed by evil spirits. Hu Huo just observed silently on the ground for a minute. He saw The two thugs who came in from the hotel entrance beat the driver and the front desk until they were bloody, and it seemed that they hadn't stopped. Hu Huo felt strange, but he couldn't control that much, and these people's fights were more conducive to his current situation. situation.

At this time, Hu Huo didn't want to care about why those people killed each other, Wei Wei stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, picked up the bag that had been protecting his chest, and left the hotel quickly.

After Hu Huo walked out, those people who were in a mess suddenly woke up, looking at each other with bruised noses and swollen faces, they all opened their mouths wide.

The two thug brothers looked at the driver and the front desk in front of them, and were surprised at the severity of their injuries, but they couldn't explain why this happened at all, and they had completely forgotten what happened just now.

A few people looked around, and the kid just didn't know where he had slipped away.

Even the few parties involved didn't know what happened to the beating in the hotel.

However, a man in a black coat happened to check today's surveillance and found this interesting scene. He drank the red liquid in his hand, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
