chapter 2 meet by chance

The tiger-like police broke into our village. Many abducted women were rescued, and many villagers who abducted women were arrested, including my parents. As a result, my life became even more unrecognizable. I was scolded by the whole village. The beatings, everyone thought I had provoked the police, and they didn't allow me, a Ruby, to stay in the village. After staying in this village where I was born and raised, I could only pack up my baggage, bring a little savings I had saved for N years, and get out of the village like a bereaved dog.

The farther away I was from the village, the more miserable I cried. Countless emotions accumulated in my chest. The deepest one was the feeling of reluctance. I know, it was Ruby who caused me to leave my hometown and family, and she called the police, but no matter what, I can only blame myself, I let Ruby go, I should have thought of all this before letting her go The consequences, the painful price, were all paid for by me.

I wandered outside like a lonely ghost for a few days. When I came to the train station, I saw people coming and going, and seeing those college students dragging their suitcases. The teasing made me unable to go to college like a normal child, but that city, that university, is my dream after all, even if I don’t have the money to sign up, but at least, I’m going to take a look at the place of my dream, thinking of this, I immediately took out the money that I couldn't even bear to spend in a hotel to eat, bought a train ticket, and embarked on the road to dream.

During the rush hour of school, the inside of the train is like a messy market, crowded with all kinds of people. I bought a standing ticket. I was almost standing on the 20-hour journey, because the things on the train were too expensive, and I was reluctant to buy them. Just like that, I endured thirst all the way on an empty stomach.

I finally reached the terminal station, and when I got off the train, the scorching sun made me dizzy. I went to a small shop sweating all over my body and wanted to buy a bottle of water, but when I took out my pocket, I found that the pocket was torn. The money I saved for food and expenses was gone. Immediately, my legs went limp, and I collapsed on the ground. Helpless tears fell down again. It turns out that not only the people in my village are bad, but the outside world is even worse. It's because people's hearts are unpredictable, and I suddenly felt that there are no good people in this world.

The blow from the blue sky drained all my remaining physical strength and will, and I looked up at the venomous sun with difficulty. At this moment, I succumbed, I succumbed to real life, succumbed to the unfair world, dreams are so How can I get to that dream university when I am penniless and exhausted?

I was so weak that I couldn't bear the direct sunlight anymore, I lowered my head weakly, and the tears in my hurt eyes fell to the ground. At this time, I was not even as good as a beggar. A beggar still has the power to beg. I lost everything, including that faint hope. I was tired and fell asleep, but just as I was about to close my eyes, a ten-yuan bill floated in front of me like bright gold.

I suddenly understood that someone regarded me as a beggar, but I didn't feel ashamed because of it. On the contrary, my desperate and cold heart suddenly felt warm, and I suddenly believed that this world is not completely indifferent, and there are also kind-hearted people. Yes, I seemed to see a glimmer of hope, the hope of survival. With this glimmer of hope, I picked up the ten yuan on the ground, raised my face, and wanted to say thank you to the kind-hearted people.

Maybe there is some kind of induction. When I raised my face, the girl who gave me money and was carrying a small pink suitcase suddenly looked back at me. When our eyes met, a torrent flowed through me. It touched my heart, I was dumbfounded and stunned, the face not far away was so familiar, she was none other than the completely new Ruby.

Under the sun, she is so dazzling, so youthful and beautiful, her beauty, shining with a special light, stimulates my eyes, my heart, my heart is trembling violently, and Ruby's eyes also reveal Surprised, she squeezed out two words to me in disbelief: "Colson Ge?"

At this time, a well-dressed middle-aged man came to Ruby, he looked at me casually, and then asked Ruby: "Ruby, do you know him?"

I don't know how long my only consciousness can last, I only know that I am confused, my head seems to have exploded, I really want to rush to her, ask her if she called the police, and ask her why The most important thing is that I lost my family and home, but I didn’t do this. In the end, I was responsible for this. Now I am lying in front of her like a dog. I don’t want to be so miserable, and I don’t want to wag my tail in front of her. .

I struggled to get up and took a deep breath with all my strength. I didn't look at her, but used Mandarin to cover up my dialect and replied lightly: "I'm sorry, you admitted the wrong person, thank you for your money!" After finishing speaking, I turned around and limped away strong...

At this moment, I am no longer cowardly, but have a sense of heroism erupting from the bottom of my heart.

Ruby didn't stop me, but I could feel my back was burning hot, it was her hot eyes watching me all the time, but I still didn't look back, I just tried my best to move as fast as I could. He walked out of the train station at a difficult speed.

When I came to the canteen, I took out the ten-yuan bill that Ruby gave me, put it on the tip of my nose, took a deep breath, and handed it to the Boss. I bought a bottle of water and a piece of bread to quench my thirst and fill my hunger. I got the change back, and I resolutely embarked on the road to university...

The moment I got off the bus, the majestic university gate captured my soul. I watched in a daze as a steady stream of students poured into the campus from that magnificent gate. At this moment, each of their faces was filled with happiness. How much I want to be like them, walking towards the dream campus full of enthusiasm and hope, but in the end, I can only bow my head, limping, and walk alone and lonely in such a cheerful atmosphere!

I dragged my heavy steps and walked over every inch of land in the school. Everything on the campus affected my heart like poison, buildings, trees, lush flowers, lively crowds, cheers Laughter, everything is so beautiful, but these beauties do not belong to me, but I am reluctant to throw them away, I am reluctant to leave, even if I can't be a student here, I will stay here and keep my dream.

Thinking of this, I immediately started looking for a job at the school, but my desire was so firm, but the reality was so blatantly cruel. I asked every store in the school’s commercial street, went to every canteen, and finally no one accepted me. I work as a handyman, maybe even they don't want me, a dirty cripple, to defile this holy campus.

No matter how many bumps and bumps I have suffered, how many cold blows I have suffered, I still have not given up the idea of ​​staying in this university. Being homeless, I seem to have regarded it as my second home from the bottom of my heart. I can crush my fragile soul, but I can't easily crush my strong will. I dragged my weak body to search and persist, and finally, God opened my eyes.

I found a job in a small restaurant near the school. The Boss was a couple from Sichuan. I don’t know if they recruited me because they thought I was pitiful or because they really lacked talents. Although the salary was not high, I was still very grateful. Now it’s the peak season for school, and the restaurant’s business is booming. I’m very busy when I come here. However, I can work quickly when I’m full. I can handle it no matter how busy I am. Moreover, I read Books, and usually help the Boss to keep accounts. After seeing me, a Disabled Man, working hard, the Boss took the initiative to increase my salary by 200 yuan.

In this way, day after day, I am busy every day, eating leftovers from customers, and living in restaurants, which is equivalent to helping the Boss look after the shop. I am very busy at work, but as long as I have free time, I will go to school. This is the best reward for all my busyness. Sometimes I sneak into the classroom to listen, and sometimes I sneak into the library to read books secretly. And more often, I sat alone in the shade of a tree, watching the Military Training of freshmen, full of emotion! Countless times, I look forward to being one of the many camouflage uniforms, but the reality will wake me up soon. Although the wish is still a wish, I am satisfied with the life of being able to cling to the school and work now.

Soon, I have been working in the restaurant for more than half a month, and the Boss has already convinced me. This day happened to be the last day of the freshmen's Military Training. I was helping out in the back kitchen as usual. Suddenly, the only two waiters in the restaurant rushed to the kitchen nervously, saying that someone was making trouble in the front restaurant, and it was quite big. Came here to hide, the chef next to me hurriedly called the Boss, and I was still cutting my radish seriously!

I pretended to be calm on the surface, but I kept praying in my heart, praying that those people would not hit the kitchen and hurt innocent people. I didn't want the peaceful days I finally got to be broken, but when the carrot was cut in half, my body suddenly As if being shocked by an electric shock, the familiar shouts came to my ears one after another, and my heart, which I tried to calm down, began to beat violently. Like being caught by an evil spirit, I put down the kitchen knife in my hand without hesitation, and limped out of the kitchen.

The restaurant at the moment was in chaos. I stopped at the corner and looked nervously at the crowd. When I saw that face, I could no longer restrain myself from shaking. When I left the train station, I thought that my life would be There will never be her again, I thought I could bid farewell to the unbearable past, but no matter how I expected it, she broke into my sight again unexpectedly.
