Knight of the Blue Lagoon (The Past of Tao v)

Continued from 46. Black Light (Daozhi's Past i)

Daozhi ordered some hungry food and a bottle of white wine, and the three of them sat on the roadside.

"Outsider?"

"Are you in construction?"Daozhi asked again. He glanced at Daozhi, but neither spoke nor moved his chopsticks.

Daozhi poured two glasses of wine and brought one cup to him. After roasting something and bringing it up, Daozhi said:"Drink. One cup."

He didn't pick up the cup. Daozhi touched the cup in front of him first and drank it all in one gulp.

The wine was so strong that Daozhi choked on it. He picked up his chopsticks and took a few bites before saying,"Follow me. It's not easy for me to be here for so long. It's time to get hungry and eat something."

He still had no intention of moving his chopsticks. At this time, Daozhi saw the proprietress bringing the roasted food over again, and said to him again:"Eat, this roast is very good. This shop has been open for many years. Grilled very well"

"That is, we have been here for 7 years."The proprietress replied enthusiastically with a slightly weird accent. She saw Daozhi and Li Xiuyan eating, but he didn't move. Then she smiled and said to him:"Eat quickly, eat it while it's hot, it's delicious when it's hot."

He raised his head and glanced at the landlady

"It’s really delicious, why don’t you try it even if you’re not hungry?"The proprietress's enthusiasm did not diminish.

Then he picked up the chopsticks and started eating, eating hard. It seemed that he was indeed hungry. Daozhi poured himself some wine and looked at him. He was a little embarrassed to stop his chopsticks.

Suddenly he heard the sound of the house inside. a little girl's voice

"Mom, I've finished my homework and I want to sleep."

He unconsciously stopped his chopsticks and looked back at the little girl inside.

"You go back to sleep first"

"Mom, I'm afraid of being alone."The little girl coquettishly

"Sleep with the light on, your dad and I are busy."The landlady replied

"Mom, I'm afraid and can't sleep"

"She only came here on weekends, and usually went to school and stayed with her grandparents."The lady boss noticed that the man was looking at the little girl and said

"What grade is the child in?"Li Xiuyan

"I am in sixth grade and will go to middle school this year. My child is very playful. He plays outside during the day and only comes to catch up on homework at night."The landlady replied with a smile, and then took her daughter to the alley behind.

Daozhi picked up the cup again, and this time he also picked it up.

"How old is the child?"Daozhi

"Also in sixth grade."His chopsticks slowed down.

"Study well?"Daozhi

"Well enough."he replied

"At my hometown?"

"Yes, with her mom and grandparents."

After Daozhi saw him eating something, he drank a few drinks with him.

"Did Boss Sun ask you to come?"Daozhi

"Boss Sun?"

"Is it your big boss? Sun Youcai."Daozhi

"Our foreman asked us to do it, but I heard that the foreman is a distant relative of our big boss."

"Are other people your co-workers?"He didn't answer. It seems that he still has some loyalty.

"How much money did the foreman promise to give you?"

"10000"

"Will it be divided between the four of you?"Daozhi

"Yes"

"Urgent need for kids to go to school?"Daozhi

"My salary is only paid once every six months, and now I am in a hurry to spend money, so I have no choice. Daozhi stood up and took out a wad of money from his bag in the car:"There are almost 10,000 yuan here. You can use it first. Don't delay the children's schooling.""

The man seemed a little embarrassed. He was staring at the money and wanted to get it, but he was too embarrassed to reach out.

"Take it, it's not for you, it's for children to go to school."Daozhi pushed the money to his hand, knowing that he needed the money very much. His hesitation showed that this person was not that hopelessly bad, and perhaps he was not a bad person in essence.

"Why did you do this?"He asked puzzledly

"why not?"

Whether it is in front of the police or with this money, no matter how cruel a person is, as long as he still has a little bit of justice in his heart, he will never be cruel again.

Then he started eating freely. After eating, although he was very embarrassed , finally took the money, and after taking a few steps, he turned back and said:"I will persuade other workers not to do such things again, but I can't guarantee that the person whose leg was beaten by you has been in society. This time the car was stolen by him."

Daozhi nodded.

He turned and left. In this night, in this city, on this road, under this street light, he seemed so insignificant. No one would care about him, but there was a sense of responsibility in his lonely figure. , a kind of tenacity, his back gradually disappeared in this night, he sweated here, and finally he could only leave desolately.

His name was Liu Jianmin, he was in that embarrassing era, and failed the college entrance examination. After him, the university began to expand enrollment, and he studied in college. It became easier, and his high school diploma became less and less valuable, and he became a wandering urban migrant worker in order to make a living.

After Liu Jianmin left, the nights became even quieter. The ancients said that without tranquility, you can't go far.

"Why not expose him and give him money?"

"The human heart is more deceitful than anything else and can be extremely bad. If you want to live a quiet life, you must know it thoroughly, look into people's hearts, and act according to what you do and think. He is just a helpless Ma Zi. Life has made him like this. Boss Sun and I have no big grudges. Director Lai should be behind the scenes."Daozhi

"Director Lai, he has the ability to do this, but even if he did, he wouldn't have the guts."Li Xiuyan

"That’s why Boss Sun was asked to do it?"

"Will Boss Sun listen to him?"Li Xiuyan

"Of course not, people who listen to interests, projects, and money, the nouveau riche cannot use too many moral standards to measure them."Daozhi.

Li Xiuyan thought about it and understood the whole incident. Daozhi stopped at the intersection. He knew there was a police station next to the intersection. He calculated that the police would come out to patrol the night at that time. He deliberately stood 300 meters away from the intersection camera. Just to avoid the cameras, he didn't worry about these gangsters at all. He didn't expose Liu Jianmin because he wanted to know who these people were who were working hard for a little money.

"How do you know Liu Jianmin can conquer it?"Li Xiuyan is still curious.

"When they besieged me, Liu Jianmin acted very bravely. It can be said that he took the lead. He should be an honest and honest person, not a sneaky rat, and he has a honest appearance."Daozhi

"Does this make sure he can tell you some news?"Li Xiuyan

"In fact, there is no need for any news. He shouldn't be like this. There may be some difficulties."Daozhi

"You wanted to help him, so you protected him and forced him to become a good person, so that there would be one less bad person in society. Are you so sure?"Li Xiuyan

"Not sure, give it a try."Daozhi replied jokingly.

He first used the boss's wife to break the deadlock. From Liu Jianmin's glance at the boss's wife's daughter, Daozhi judged that he should have a similar child, found his weakness, and deduced that as a father, Helpless. The more Li Xiuyan thought about it, the more exciting she felt, and the more she admired Dao Zhi. He suddenly saw the true nature. Li Xiuyan became more and more excited. The so-called exciting things she had done in school before were nothing compared to It's all pediatrics

"It's so enjoyable."Thinking of this, Li Xiuyan did not suppress her inner emotion.

Dao Zhi looked at Li Xiuyan. Smart people will be bored by many things. Things in life are not new to them, nor are they too technical or challenging. , let alone taste. The reason why Li Xiuyan was so excited was that it was her first real contact with such a complex social event, and Dao Zhi handled it easily and with ease. Li Xiuyan couldn't help but look at Dao Zhi. At this time Dao Zhi's drunkenness increased again.

This night was an eye-opener for Li Xiuyan. This was called the real thing. Li Xiuyan was so excited that she had no intention of sleeping. Dawn was approaching and she wanted to go to the top of the building to watch the sunrise.
