Origin Chapter 36: Distress

Wu Zhongyuan was worried about money for the first time in his life. Although he was poor before, he was not embarrassed. Now he is not only embarrassed, but exhausted and desperate.

How can time be quiet, it's just that someone is carrying the load for you. Wu Zhongyuan has a deep understanding of this sentence at this time. The reason why he didn't worry about money before was because Lin Qingming was taking care of him.

Now the people who take care of him need him to take care of him, but he can't come up with the money. Many negative emotions are flooding into his heart, his mood is low, and he is helpless and depressed.

After nine o'clock in the evening, Huang Ping called. Wu Zhongyuan only said that he was busy outside and might not be going back these days.

Winter is very cold, and the night is even colder. Wu Zhongyuan has nowhere to go, so he can only wander around aimlessly, and finally stopped at a cultural square, which is a semi-open-air square with a part of it covering it. , there are some square pillars below, posters about urban culture are posted on all sides of the pillars, and there are lights in the pillars.

He sits on a long chair next to each square column.

First sitting, then lying down, then falling asleep, and finally waking up.

The feeling of being woken up by the cold is not good, it's very uncomfortable, but fortunately he knows qigong, can activate qi and activate blood, so he won't catch a cold.

It was too cold to stay in the open air. Looking around, I found an ATM cashing room of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China not far away. I walked over and found it was quite warm inside. I sat in the corner and became confused again.

Woke up again at 8:00 in the morning and was woken up by the bank security, "Little brother, are you all right?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly stood up.

"Are you really all right?" the security asked.

"It's really okay, thank you." Wu Zhongyuan left the cashier room under the watchful eye of the security guard.

The warmth of the cashier room and the amiable attitude of the security guard made him look back after leaving, and when he saw the words ICBC, he felt inexplicably cordial.

It's hard to find a job, and it's even harder to find a short-term job. It goes all the way to noon, but it's still in vain. I ate lunch at a ramen restaurant in the southwest of the crossroads. It cost fifteen yuan for a bowl of ramen, and there was only one left on my body. ten bucks.

Seeing that the hope of finding a job is getting slimmer, Wu Zhongyuan took out his mobile phone in desperation, looked through the contacts one by one, and tried to call President Wang again, but after thinking about it, he didn't call.

I wanted to call Wan Shanhai, but after thinking about it, I didn't call.

He still remembered Zhao Ying's phone number in his cell phone. After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't call.

The search in the afternoon was still in vain, and soon, night fell again.

When people are desperate, it is easy to go astray. Wu Zhongyuan went astray. He was very tired after a day of wandering, and some could not walk. Seeing that there was an unlocked bicycle on the side of the road, he went over to ride it after hesitating. .

The bike is broken, the rear tire is underinflated, it's not a brisk ride, but it's better than walking.

The ancients said, "Cang Lin knows the etiquette in reality, and knows honor and disgrace with enough food and clothing. This sentence is roughly the same as the current material basis to determine the superstructure. When people are depressed to a certain extent, their moral standards will be lowered, and Wu Zhongyuan is no exception. , He always thought that he was a good person, but now he began to doubt this, because he found that he only wanted to make money now, and his mind was full of how to get money, and he didn't care whether he broke the law or not.

There are many cars in the city, and most of them are parked on the side of the road at night. Some car owners put their bags in the car, and there may be money in the bag.

Wu Zhongyuan began to look for targets. His biggest fear was surveillance. He had to choose those cars that were not within the surveillance range.

At 11:50 in the evening, I passed a north-south road. There are several buildings in the west of the road, and there are also several cars parked there.

Just when he wanted to go in and have a look, there was a sudden sound of glass breaking inside. Before he could react, a young man in black ran out from the inside, crossed the road, and ran east. .

Soon, a woman in her thirties ran down in her pajamas, shouting, "Hurry up and return the bag to me, there is no money in it, but it's my contract."

After the woman ran out, she saw Wu Zhongyuan on the side of the road, and hurried over to ask where the man ran to.

Wu Zhongyuan pointed the way.

The woman ran a few steps and remembered that Wu Zhongyuan was riding a bicycle, so she came over to borrow it from him.

Wu Zhongyuan gave her the bicycle and walked south with a wry smile. He was going to do bad things, but turned out to be helpful.

In the second half of the night, Wu Zhongyuan saw several villas in the distance. He walked over and circled around one of them. Judging from the things on the windows, the owner of this villa was very rich. And the owner is not at home

This villa has three floors, which is not a hindrance for him. After borrowing from the corner wall twice, he climbed the window sill to the balcony on the third floor.

The door leading to the house from the balcony was not closed, but Wu Zhongyuan didn't go in. When things came to an end, he was afraid. He was not afraid of being caught. He was afraid of denying himself. Once he entered, he would become a thief, even if others I don't know, I know it myself.

After hesitating for a long time, Wu Zhongyuan finally reined in his horse and jumped off the balcony. It’s true that he needs money urgently, but he can’t break the law, let alone make himself a bad person. I can't face myself anymore.

It's hard not to sleep for a night. In addition to feeling cold, my brain is still confused, and my reaction is slow and confused.

There is a saying that there is no way out of the sky. This is true. When wandering to the outskirts of the city, Wu Zhongyuan found an apple grove outside the village in the distance. At this time, the leaves of the fruit trees had fallen off. I saw some small apples hanging on the branches.

I walked over, picked a few, and put them in my pocket. When I came out, I found a row of houses beside the road. ’

There is no threshold for this job. Anyone can do it, and the boss is not picky. Anyone who can work will be accepted.

The first job was to unload alcohol. Four people worked for two hours, and one person was divided for 40 yuan.

Following the loading, the broken nylon bags purchased by the recycling station, a bundle of 100 pieces, filled with the first four and the second eight large trucks, still four people, still two hours, one person divided 60 yuan, and then So a little more, because the work is dirty and the nylon bags are dusty.

I just returned to the loading and unloading station, and I have another job to do, moving 10 tons of white ash. The other party asked two people to pay 200 yuan, but no one went. Wu Zhongyuan went by himself.

It's very simple. It took three hours to unload it from the car and move it to the warehouse to help people stack it up.

After finishing the work, he realized why no one wanted to do this work, because when loading and unloading, people would sweat, and the white ash was poisonous, and it would heat up when exposed to water.

The loading and unloading station has accommodation. The boss saw that Wu Zhongyuan had no place to live, so he let him live at the loading and unloading station. At ten o'clock that night, there was another job. A large truck carrying sand got stuck in a pit on the side of the road. Before the crane lifts, the sand in the car needs to be removed manually.

Three people worked for three hours, and one person got eighty.

In the early morning of the next day, the boss woke Wu Zhongyuan, "You kid is a waste of odd jobs, get up and follow to the port, where you can make more money."

Only then did Wu Zhongyuan know that this loading and unloading station is divided into two groups, one group is doing odd jobs, doing everything, and the other group is strong, led by the boss's son, to the port to load and unload fertilizer, the latter is more Tired, but make more money.

Go to the port and familiarize yourself with the work process. The fertilizers are provided by the state to foreign countries. They are pulled by trains, unloaded by hand, and tied with nylon bags. They are then forklifted to the port by forklifts, and then lifted into the cabin by cranes. The workers are responsible for When entering the cabin, the fertilizers are neatly lined up.

A train has more than 20 wagons, one wagon carries 60 tons, and a total of 2,400 bags of fertilizer. Three people work together, and each person gets 180. In fact, it should be 200, but the boss wants to smoke become.

Enter the cabin, and then load up the fertilizer from the crane. One hundred and eighty per person.

Because he was rushing to set off the ship a few years ago, he worked three shifts, and other workers worked one shift every day. He knew qigong, had great strength and good endurance.

In three days, Wu Zhongyuan became famous, and everyone wanted to partner with him. Wu Zhongyuan chose a Xian nationality surnamed Jin and a young man surnamed Yang to be his partners. The surnamed Jin was a Xian nationality with a bankrupt investment. Fifty, his physical strength is not very good, and he is always sweating. Wu Zhongyuan chose him because this guy always brings delicious kimchi every day. The young man surnamed Yang was chosen because his name was Yang Wei. Whether he was calling him Yang Wei or Viagra, he was unhappy, which made Wu Zhongyuan very interesting.

In three days at most, Wu Zhongyuan will go back to the hospital. Before returning, he will take a shower and change his clothes. Lin Qingming's mental state is okay, and Huang Ping is in a good mood, which makes him very happy.

The two couldn't help but ask Wu Zhongyuan what he was doing. He would answer that he was working on the boat without giving details. He didn't want to tell Lin Qingming how tired he was, just like Lin Qingming never told him how much work there was in the mine. Danger.

Every time he came back, Wu Zhongyuan would put the money into the hospital deposit. The hospital settlement was settled when he was discharged from the hospital, but they could see the increase in the deposit amount and knew that the patient's family had been raising money, so they never urged Lin Qingming Make up the deposit with Huang Ping.

Wang Xinran didn't stay in the hospital and didn't know where he went, but one thing Wu Zhongyuan was clear about was that although he didn't know where Wang Xinran was, Wang Xinran knew where he was.

It turned out that he was right. In the evening of the ninth day, Wang Xinran appeared at the port.

Wu Zhongyuan was unloading the truck. She didn't come to disturb her, but just watched quietly from a distance. She waved to him until Wu Zhongyuan was done.

Wu Zhongyuan walked over, "Why are you here?"

Wang Xinran didn't answer, just stared at Wu Zhongyuan, as if he knew him on the first day.

"What's the matter?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"The paper you gave me, the translation result came out..."
