The first ray of sunlight shone through a small hole in the roof and landed on my face. After my eyelids twitched a few times, I finally opened my eyes. Although I didn't know what time I fell asleep last night, nor did I know how many hours I slept, the biological clock in my body still woke me up at the same time every day. My mind was in a mess. I didn't know what to do, so I just washed my face and brushed my teeth out of instinct…
When the wet towel was placed on my face, I was completely awake. It turned out that the reason why I was so dizzy was because I was recalling the dream last night. I didn't understand why I had a sudden epiphany at that time. Moreover, Yuxin's face in my mind became even more blurry, which made me very puzzled... It was not until many years later that I learned from a friend that the expectation and love was actually a kind of sustenance for people in a foreign land, not real love...
"It's like the kinship that inspires you to keep fighting. That's right!! Perhaps you used to like her…or even love her, but have you ever thought about it? Six years, six years is a very long time…It can wear down many things, including feelings…Otherwise, why would she, who also likes you, marry someone else in the end? And didn't you remember what she looked like?”Although I thought it through after listening to his words, I couldn't connect with him at this moment. My subconscious was telling me that I had fallen out of love…
I knew that I was in a bad mood after being heartbroken, but I still forced myself to look at myself in the mirror and say,"I'll be lucky today. Don't people always say that when you're down in love, you're up in the casino? "Since I'm not gambling, then let me collect more things ~" My encouragement to clear my mind and get to work was completely in response to a local saying, which meant…since I don't have to die, I have to continue working!!
Yeah ~~~ So what if you're heartbroken? Life still has to go on. Don't forget that my father and sister are waiting for me at home!! After sorting out my emotions, I opened the door to welcome the morning sun and a new day. After filling a large bottle of cool white wine and locking the door, I rode the tricycle to the first stop I had to pass every day-the breakfast shop!!
At this time, the front of the breakfast shop could be said to be full of traffic, and the business was extremely good... but most of the people were like me, collecting junk, and they didn't have the capital to purely pick up junk. They gathered here every morning, not because the food here was delicious or delicious... but because the food here was super ~~~~ affordable. One yuan could buy two northern steamed buns the size of two adult fists and about half a catty.
Although it wasn't delicious, after eating the two steamed buns weighing half a catty and drinking a few mouthfuls of water, it was enough to keep me full until one o'clock in the afternoon…After throwing down one yuan and taking the two big steamed buns, I started my business for the day. First, I regularly went to a few small restaurants that I was familiar with to collect some wine bottles and some broken pots and scrap iron. However, I still used up a few cigarettes…When it was close to 10 AM, I arrived at the high-end residential area by the sea-Xinhua District!!
The people living here were all upper-class celebrities. 70% to 80% of the wealthy people in B City lived here and were proud to live here. Any villa here was worth tens of millions of dollars, so it was not strange or surprising that one or two million-dollar luxury cars would appear from time to time at the entrance of the community. However, if it was a broken three-wheeled motorcycle, you would be surprised. So when I stepped on the gate of Xinhua District, if there were people around me, they would definitely cast strange looks at me, thinking,"What am I doing here?" Don't tell me he wants to be a thief? It was normal for people to have such thoughts. After all, there were too many people in this day and age who hid their identity as thieves by collecting waste…
After parking the three-wheeled motorcycle beside the residential area, I called out to the guard room,"Grandma Liu…Grandma Liu…"
"Hey ~~~ Coming…" Then, an old lady's voice came from the guard room.
"Oh ~~~ Xiao Liu ~~~~ You're really punctual…I'll have to trouble you again today…" Then, a white-haired old lady in her sixties walked out of the guard room with a smile on her face…
The old woman's surname was Liu, and she was a cleaner in charge of cleaning in Xinhua District. The trouble she mentioned was the work that originally belonged to her. Because she had rheumatism on her back, every time it was windy and rainy, she almost couldn't stand up straight. How could she work? Fortunately, I was there…I met Grandma Liu by chance. It was my third year in B City, and I heard about the 'rich district' of 'Xinhua District I also heard that the houses there were more beautiful and luxurious than palaces and castles, so I rode a tricycle for half an hour to' Xinhua District', intending to see the legendary luxurious houses. However, at the entrance of the 'Xinhua District I saw Grandma Liu who was dragging a large plastic bag with great difficulty. The' hot-blooded 'me naturally showed the spirit of' helping people', and thus received a thousand thanks from Grandma Liu. However, perhaps it was also due to my occupational disease ~~~~ I naturally had to flip through the trash when I saw it.
When Grandma Liu saw me rummaging through it seriously, she was stunned for a moment before she laughed. Her laughter made my face redder than ever before. Then, she said,"Children ~~~ There are still many inside ~~~~"
Since that day, I came here every day to help Grandma Liu. As time passed, I took over Grandma Liu's work. Of course, I didn't do it for nothing. Everything I found in the garbage of the rich people belonged to me. Although Grandma Liu didn't give me a single cent, I still took advantage of it…
Those rich people are really wasteful when they have a lot of money. I can occasionally find some clothes from famous brands in the world in those trash cans, and most of them have only been worn once or twice. Although these branded goods that cost tens of thousands have only been worn once or twice, they can only be sold as second-hand goods for 100 or 10 yuan. However, it can be considered a small fortune to me.
Sometimes, it was just clothes. There were a lot of food and other things. During the holidays, they even gave me more things. For example, on Valentine's Day, some young master sent 999 roses, but they were rejected by the woman. Therefore, those beautiful roses could only lie beside the trash can and pile up…In the end, they filled my cart. In the end, I found a flower shop with better business to deal with the flowers. I remember that the store manager of the flower shop patted my shoulder with a big smile and said that if I could get more on that day, he would want more. But it was no wonder that the boss said that. It was Valentine's Day, and roses were famous for their good sales. I sold them to him at a very low price…I still remember that a rose was sold for 10 yuan on the market at that time, and I sold it to him for 50 cents. How could he not be happy?
Since ancient times, there has always been a saying that 'there is a house of gold in a book'. Many people believe that gold can be found in books, but in my opinion, gold can also be found in trash…Once, I found a platinum diamond ring. I think it might have been wasted by a young master who failed to confess his love ~~~ The moment I picked up the ring, I was ecstatic. Although it was taken to the pawnshop as stolen goods and could only be sold for 8,000 yuan, it was almost my annual income. This also allowed me to send back a portion of the money every year and also have my own savings. Almost two-thirds of my annual income comes from here…
" Okay, Grandma Liu…I'll do it if you're not feeling well…" I took the red vest from Grandma Liu.‘As a community where the rich gathered, the security work in the Xinhua District was naturally extremely high. There were more than a hundred security guards, and there were countless surveillance cameras hidden in the shadows. The moment I saw a stranger dressed in strange clothes, the security guards would rush to take you down. In order not to be caught as a thief, I had to wear this set of clothes…After changing into the clothes, I began to put away the black garbage bag. Perhaps someone would ask why the garbage collection was not at night but at 10 am?
This was actually very easy to understand. This was the daily routine of rich people. If you were a hard-working boss, you should have arrived at your office at 10 o'clock and started your day's work. If you were a young lady or a young master…or a night owl, you would probably be lying in bed and dreaming…Therefore, the time between 10 am and 12 am in the Xinhua District was the quietest and the least crowded…
Even though the harvest in the Xinhua District was very rich, sometimes, when you were unlucky, you would end up empty-handed. Today, I went through more than 20 plastic bags but couldn't find anything of value. Not only that…When I arrived at a three-story pink villa, I accidentally saw a young man dressed in bright clothes. In the end, he was pressed to the ground by two fierce and fierce men. The poor and weak me didn't even have time to react before I was pressed to the ground…
" Big…Big brother, what…what is it?" I asked in horror.
"..." The burly men didn't speak. One of them pressed one knee on my back, the other hand pressed my face on the ground, and the other one touched my body randomly, making me nervous for a long time and giving me goosebumps. Finally, one of them said to the young man," Young Master, he doesn't have any weapons on him…"
Then, the young man came in front of me. From my current angle, I could only see his gray pants and spotless white leather shoes. Then, I heard his fierce voice."What do you do?"
" I... I'm just a... cleaner..." Perhaps I was shocked by the sudden appearance of the situation... I stuttered.
" A cleaner..." the young man murmured.
"Young Master, I think this kid is really a sweeper…He smells like garbage.”A burly man said in a disgusted tone.
"..." Although I knew that people in my line of work would inevitably be looked down upon by others, I had never been humiliated like this before. After hearing the burly man's words, I was even more furious. However, the situation was stronger than the person. At this moment, I was pressed to the ground like a chicken. How could I resist? So I kept silent…
" No, the usual cleaner is an old woman, how could it be him…" The young man said in a deep voice. After listening to his words, the big man's hand on my body pressed me harder.
"Grandma Liu is sick. She wants me to help her for a day…If you don't believe me, you can ask her.!”I immediately defended myself, but I didn't dare to say that I would help her often. I only said that I would help her for a day…because I was worried that they would fire Grandma when they found out. After all, no one wanted to raise a cripple who only knew how to eat and not work.
" Oh…One of you go and see if it's true…" After the young man said that, I heard footsteps walking away…
After a while, he ran back and said with a little panting,"Young Master, this guy was really invited by that old woman to help…"
"Looks like he really is a sweeper. Let him go ~~~~ He stinks…" The man called 'Young Master' turned around and left with a disgusted tone. I had to leave the ground where I was 'intimately' with him. Although I was very unwilling and angry, I didn't go up to them and reason with them. After all, their arms were thicker than my thighs ~~~ This made me understand that even if I fought with them, I wouldn't have any chance of winning. Thus, I could only leave with my head lowered…but I swore in my heart: From now on, no matter what, I will never let anyone press my face against the ground…even if it means death!!
After this incident, I no longer had the mood to pick up trash. I only instinctively picked up some more valuable items. As I flipped through them, a quaint wooden box suddenly appeared in front of me. I was stunned at first, then endless guesses surged in my mind."Gold? Jewelry? Martial arts manuals? Or immortal pills?"
The wooden box was engraved with a dragon's picture. The five-clawed golden dragon was lifelike. However, when I looked at the wooden box, I instantly eliminated the guesses of a martial arts secret manual and an Ageless Immortal Pill in my heart. This was because this wooden box was brand new. Even if it was made in an ancient style, it was still very easy for others to tell that it was man-made. Although I knew that it couldn't be the legendary martial arts secret manual, I was a little disappointed. However, I thought that even if it wasn't a 'martial arts secret manual' in such a beautiful box, it wouldn't be too bad. I shook the wooden box and heard a sound from inside. I was ecstatic to know that the box wasn't empty, so I began to chant in my heart as I opened the box."Gold…gold…"
I suddenly opened the box and saw a golden light flash in it. I was so happy that I almost cried out…it was indeed gold!!!
However, when I took a closer look, I was immediately disappointed. Yes, it was gold, but it wasn't any gold or silver jewelry. It was a gold card…
"No more? Such a big box only contained this small card and a letter? Is there a mistake?" I checked the 40 cm long and 30 cm wide wooden box again and again, but I could only admit that there were only these two things in the box.
"What kind of card is this? Such an exaggerated act!”After I put down the wooden box, I began to examine the palm-sized golden card in my hand. There were three black lines on the card, so I asked in surprise,"Three passcodes? It can't be…Why is it so secretive? Even a credit card is just one…"
Besides the three black passcode bands on the gold card, there were some words on the other side that could only be seen under the reflection of sunlight…! This name sounds familiar ~ Where have I heard it before? Right, wasn't it the game that was being hyped up on TV, on the radio, and in advertisements? What does this card have to do with it?" After looking at the gold card in my hand, I shifted my gaze to the paper in my other hand. I opened the paper and saw that it was a letter…
Respected Mr. Killer AK
Thank you for your continued support and love. This game will be closed on September 29, 2012. We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. As the number one expert in the game, our compensation is a special account for the new generation of high-tech virtual reality game created by our company and Tianhua Company!! I hope that you can create your own glory in the new game…Note: On September 30, 2012, you can go to the first floor of Donghai Road Department Store with your gold card to get a free high-level gaming helmet. It will be invalid after the expiration date. I hope that you can keep the gold card well and not report the loss…All the rights of explanation belong to the company!!
I immediately focused on the two words 'free' and 'can't be reported loss', because I knew that' can't be reported loss', which meant that it would belong to whoever had it. Everyone knew that the word 'free' was even simpler. If these two words were added together, it would mean that the person who got this gold card would get a high-end gaming helmet. However, what made me ecstatic was that the gaming helmet I knew was sold for more than 8,000 yuan in the overwhelming advertisements, and the simulation was only 60%. The intermediate level required 18,000 points of simulation, as high as 80%; And the high-level ones were as high as 68,000, and the simulation was as high as 95%, almost accepting reality...
68,000…I heard that the black market price had already reached 100,000. The reason was that there were only 10 million accounts in the entire Celestial region, and B City, one of the top ten cities in Celestial, only had 100,000 accounts. I also heard that tens of thousands of game fans and speculators had already queued up a month ago…So, getting this gold card was equivalent to getting a high-grade gaming helmet, and getting a high-grade gaming helmet was equivalent to getting 100,000 yuan!! 100,000 yuan…I could almost see myself returning home in glory. At the same time, the hand holding the gold card couldn't help but tremble. My heart was filled with excitement."Looks like today is my lucky day…"
I was in a good mood, and the work on my hands seemed to be much easier. Soon, I returned to the entrance of Xinhua District, but Grandma Liu smiled bitterly at me and said," My child…I'm sorry. From tomorrow onwards, you can't come here to help me anymore…"
"Why?" I asked in shock.
" Sigh... The property management company knows that I asked you for help. They said that if I can't do it, they will replace me, so..." Grandma Liu sighed and said helplessly.
" Grandma Liu, you don't have to say anymore…I understand. If it weren't for what happened today, you wouldn't have been implicated. Besides, you've taken care of me all these years…" I was almost certain that the reason why the property management company knew about this must have something to do with that young man. Although it was a pity to throw it into this 'treasure hunting' place, the regret in my heart immediately disappeared when I thought of the gold card in my pocket.
"Please don't say that. Thanks to you all these years, my old waist would've died here a long time ago. Although you can't go in and pick it up anymore, you should still come and visit Grandma Liu often. Grandma has a lot of business with you. Actually, Grandma Liu is 'jealous' of the treasure you took out from the trash. She laughed, and I laughed too…because I knew that was just an excuse to comfort me.
Thus, I said goodbye to Grandma Liu and rode the tricycle to my second cash withdrawal point--!
An hour after I left, there was an urgent cry from the family where I found the gold card in the trash can."Mom…Mom…Have you seen my wooden box? The wooden box that contained the game card?”
" Yes…" A beautiful middle-aged woman glanced at her fifteen-year-old son before turning her gaze back to the fashion magazine.
"Have you seen him before? Where is it?" The boy asked anxiously.
"Throw it away…"
"Oh! What? Throwing…Throwing it away?" The boy widened his eyes in disbelief. The boy's name was Zhou Ri. He had relied on his father's wealth to buy a set of peerless equipment in an online game that had become popular more than a year ago. Moreover, his generosity had allowed him to stay at the top of the expert list in the game like a fish in water…
" Yes, throw it away…Little Ri, you're already in the third year of junior high school, and you'll be taking your middle school exams next year…Your father and I have decided to keep you away from those online games for the time being and try to get into the 'Sacred Education' college…" The 'Sacred Education' college that the middle-aged woman mentioned was a famous aristocratic college in the country. It was also one of the top ten universities in the country in the past five years. Those who could get into the 'Sacred Education' college were either powerful or influential.
"Ah ~~~~ Why is this happening!!”Zhou Ri said with a sad face.
"Not only that…we've already discussed this. If you can't get into the 'Sacred Birth Strong' exam, we'll cut off your allowance and won't let you come into contact with any online games in the future.”The middle-aged woman raised her eyebrows and said calmly.
"Oh my god! Then why didn't you blindfold me and let me face the wall before shooting me from behind?! (It means to be shot!!)" Zhou Ri shouted.
" It's not that we haven't thought about it, but if we do this, you'll definitely ask for your last cigarette... You know that your father and I don't want you to learn to smoke so early..." she said apologetically.
Zhou Ri was so angry that he was speechless. He could only glare at his mother.“……”
At this moment, a sharp voice came from outside the door." Mrs. Zhou, you're here! We're missing a third wife!"
Hearing this, her eyes lit up and she immediately replied,"I'm coming ~ I'm coming ~ Son, be good and stay at home to study ~ Mommy has to go to work again.”
" Ah..." Zhou Yuan immediately screamed after she left.
At this time, I had already started my 'big harvest' at the second gold withdrawal point. The garbage disposal room of the 13th hospital was filled with a large amount of medical waste, countless large and small glass medicine bottles, and plastic infusion tubes weighing more than 30 pounds…Although these things weren't worth much, if they were added up, it would still be 30 to 40 yuan. Although this place couldn't compare to the 'Xinhua District it still accounted for a portion of my annual income. I came here every two to three days. However, I won't have to come here very soon, and I won't have to endure the strong stench of all kinds of potions combined…"Aiya ~~~" I was so happy that I became sad. I thought about the 100,000 yuan that I was about to get, but in the end, I was so smug that I was stabbed by something and even bled. I cursed in my heart,"Unlucky!" After that, I continued to work without paying attention…
At the same time, in the corridor of the hospital ward, Dr. Tao Yusheng, who was famous for his lecherous nature, was looking for his targets. His targets were mostly those young intern nurses. He would find fault with them and then threaten them to sleep with him. Otherwise, they would not be able to become real nurses and work in the hospital. It was difficult to find a stable job with the current high employment rate. Therefore, most of the nurses would give in because of this…As a result, the intern nurses who walked past him would always be trembling with fear…
"Nurse Chen, where are you going?”Tao Yusheng's gaze was focused on a young nurse with the surname Chen…
When Tao Yusheng called her that, her body trembled as if she had been electrocuted. Then, she said with a stiff smile,"Heehee ~ Hello, Doctor Tao. I'm going to throw away the used medical waste ~"
"Oh ~~~" Tao Yusheng had a 'I see' look on his face.
"..." Tao Yusheng's expression made the young head nurse surnamed Chen heave a sigh of relief.
"By the way, are you in charge of the patient in Room 605 of Block C?”Tao Yusheng asked.
"Yes…"
" Then the trash you threw out just now, could it be…"
"Yeah, it's the medical waste that the patient used. What's wrong?”the nurse asked in confusion.
"Ah! Didn't you read his medical record? He has AIDS, and all the things he used must be disinfected and specially handled…What did your teacher teach you?”Tao Yusheng said angrily.
"Ah!" The young nurse's face turned pale. Such a mistake could be fatal to her. It was not an exaggeration to say that she could end her career as a nurse at any time... What should I do?" She muttered in a desperate tone.
"Actually, this isn't a big deal. Who hasn't missed it? And only you and I know about this mistake. As long as you don't say it and I don't say it, who will know?”Tao Yusheng comforted him.
"Really? Will Doctor Tao really hide it for me?”the nurse said happily. Obviously, she had forgotten that Doctor Tao was a famous lecherous doctor. How could he help her for free? Hence, he revealed his fox tail at this moment…
"Of course…By the way, Nurse Chen, are you free tonight? I've been watching you for a long time…I want to treat you to a meal…"
"Ah!" The nurse finally understood, but who asked her to have something to use against her? Besides, she had just broken up with her boyfriend recently, so it wasn't a betrayal. She would just treat it as being suppressed by a ghost. After making up her mind, she smiled stiffly and said,"Alright ~~~"
" Haha, that's great. Let's do it tonight at eight o'clock..." Tao Yusheng smiled triumphantly.
The next day, I rode the tricycle aimlessly on several old streets. Although it was already autumn, it was still very hot in the south. I didn't know why my mind was always dizzy today. Just as I was wondering if I had a heatstroke, my vision went black and I fell off the tricycle. Before I lost consciousness, I heard the cries of passers-by…"Not good ~~~~ Someone fainted, call the ambulance…" I only came back on my tricycle in the evening, but everything I experienced in the hospital this afternoon was like a nightmare…
" I'm sorry, Mr. Liu Wuqing... We regret to inform you that we found that your AIDS test was positive..." A doctor wearing a white coat said with a serious face.
“AIDS？! Is it a new flu virus?" I asked in confusion.
AIDS is the English name for AIDS…"
"AIDS? You said I have AIDS? "How is this possible…You must have made a mistake. I want to re-examine it…" My mind went blank as I shouted excitedly.
" Mr. Liu Wuqing, please listen to me calmly... We have tested three times, but the results are the same... I believe there is no need to test again... In addition, according to the policy of the world's AIDS prevention organization and the country, the first aid fee will be exempted, and you will be given half a month's worth of medicine. I hope you can come back regularly..." The doctor's last sentence was only out of his professional habit. Because he could tell that the man in front of him in tattered clothes could not afford the annual treatment fee of more than 100,000 yuan. For the poor him,'AIDS' was undoubtedly a death sentence!!
(Author: The setting of the protagonist's AIDS is not only the need of the plot, but also the author's hope that humans can also defeat AIDS once ~~~~ Even if it is using a very unscientific method!)! Hehe ~~~~ Do you feel that I'm great??)
