The night in a big city is like a city that never sleeps. There are bright street lights shining everywhere, and the tall skyscrapers are decorated with colorful lights. They look even more majestic and beautiful when viewed from a distance.

It was late at night and there were no pedestrians on the sidewalk, but vehicles with dazzling lights were still driving rapidly on the carriageway.

Most of the shops on both sides of the street were closed. I don’t know how many street intersections I passed, and I don’t know how far I walked. Chen Long dragged his sprained foot and limped along.

Walking on the sidewalk. The key thing is that he has no clothes on his upper body, and his bare upper body looks very ungraceful. There are also mosquito bites on him occasionally...

He no longer had the intention to appreciate the beautiful night scene, and he had no clear destination in mind. He just moved forward based on his feelings, feeling hesitant and sleepwalking...

The baggage he prepared when he went out was gone, the most basic living expenses were gone, his mobile phone was gone, and his ID card was gone... He was now a complete homeless man! He was full of hope when he went out a few days ago.

As a dreamer, he never imagined that he would end up like this.

I am very hungry, my sprained foot is getting more and more painful, and the joints are very red and swollen... At the moment, the best thing is to find some medicinal wine or ointment to treat the injury, and then get something to eat, and then...

Find a place to sleep to survive tonight... But where to find it now? All the stores on the street are closed.

Finally, in a small shantytown deep in a street and alley, two people were cleaning up the messy old debris.

Chen Long dragged his injured leg and walked inside step by step, hoping to get help.

It's an old couple in their seventies who are sorting and sorting things out so that they can sell them and use them up.

The old man first noticed Chen Long's injured leg. He put down what he was doing and came over: "Young man, what's going on? Is your foot sprained?"

"Yes, it hurts, very painful."

"Oh my God, let me help you." The old man quickly came up to help support Chen Long.

The wife on the side also stopped what she was doing to help move an old chair and helped Chen Long sit down.

"Thank you, thank you." Chen Long was so excited that he quickly thanked him. He felt very happy, knowing that he had met a kind person.

"Let me check your injuries..."

As he spoke, the old man kicked down and carefully inspected Chen Long's injury, and then sighed: "The redness and swelling are quite serious, it's really a serious injury! How could it be like this? Don't move, I'm doing a good job.

I'll get some iron-strengthening wine for you to wipe it with."

"Thank you very much, uncle."

"Don't say polite words." The old man stood up and quickly returned to the shed filled with junk. He took out a bottle of medicinal wine that had been soaked in black, opened it and wiped it carefully.

My wife's aunt poured a large bowl of warm water for Chen Long to drink.

After being busy for a while, the old man wiped Chen Long with medicinal wine several times and bandaged him.

Chen Longxi was so moved by the old couple's enthusiastic help that tears almost flowed out, and he kept thanking them.

After repeated questioning by the two old men, Chen Long simply told them what he had experienced these days. Before he could finish speaking, the old man was so angry that he cursed: "These people are too lawless. I am now

Call the police for you."

"Forget it, it's already midnight, and I don't remember where I am. I'll tell you tomorrow. But I was very lucky to meet you two kind people who helped me. I've seriously disturbed you. I

It’s better to leave now…”

"Young man, you are too polite. Where else can you go in the middle of the night? You have no choice now. Just spend the night at my place tonight."

The kind-hearted and enthusiastic old couple took Chen Long in, found some clothes for Chen Long to wear, and cooked him a bowl of egg noodles...

The two kind-hearted old couple tidied up a small space for Chen Long in the shed full of debris. They used large pieces of paper as mats, found mosquito nets and sheets, and made a temporary bed to settle Chen Long in for the night.

Came down.

I haven't been able to get a good sleep in the black MLM organization these days. Although I hear the loud noise of vehicles coming and going, I can finally put it down and have a good sleep.

Maybe he was really too tired, so Chen Long fell into a deep sleep until the next morning. It was already past eight o'clock, and the couple had already gotten up early to make breakfast.

Although the sprained foot was still swollen and painful, it got a lot better thanks to the medicinal wine. While having breakfast with the old couple, Chen Long briefly learned about their situation.

The old couple are from other places. The old man is Shen Songyang and the old woman is Lu Kunrong. They have two daughters who are already married and have children. More than ten years ago, the younger daughter came to this provincial city to work with her children and a family of four. So,

The old couple also came to help them take care of the children. Later, when the granddaughter grew up and went to school, she no longer had to take her with her, and the living expenses continued to increase. So, the old couple, who had no skills, went around the provincial town to pick up rags and sell them.

Later, I opened this small waste recycling station in the shantytown to buy the waste items picked up by others, and continued to go out to pick up some junk when I had free time.

Chen Long did not dare to disturb others any more, and insisted on leaving after breakfast. The old couple gave him two sets of old clothes, gave him dozens of yuan in change, and specially filled a small bottle with some medicinal wine and told him to wipe the sprain.

He told him that if he could not find work and accommodation for the time being, he would come back to them to tide over the difficulties.

After thanking him from the bottom of his heart, Chen Long left this small shanty that made him feel extremely warm and walked out onto the street.

Right now, the most urgent thing is to find a job. Once you find a job, you can solve the problem of food, clothing and housing. Within today, you must find a job, Chen Long made up his mind.

...However, there is such a big difference between plans, ideals and reality! Chen Long first interviewed several job postings posted on street shops today, and then applied for jobs in two manufacturing companies, but he was not hired. Mainly

The reason is that he does not have an ID card. Unexpectedly, a small ID card has become the biggest obstacle preventing him from finding a job now!

The problem returned to the black MLM organization. This criminal gang that had harmed him really made him angry and hateful! So he went to the nearest police station and reported the case to him for being cheated, beaten and having his luggage stolen.

However, because he did not have an ID card and could not provide a valid ID number, it was difficult to file a case. Especially since he did not even know where the illegal pyramid scheme organization was, so the police station where he reported the crime just made a routine registration.

…

It was dusk again, and Chen Long had almost spent all the dozens of yuan the kind-hearted old couple gave him today. He took out the last few yuan, bought two large loaves of bread, and ate them hungrily. Busy province

city, but he seems to be on an isolated island with no place to stay. Where will he go tonight?...

Only a few days after he came out, Bian Lun found himself in his current situation. He was considering whether to seek help from others and return to his rural home in G County tomorrow, or whether to go to his younger brother Chen Gang's university to seek help from him...

No, absolutely not. He is not willing to give in, let alone succumb to the predicament at hand. The difficulty should only be temporary. Maybe he can find a job tomorrow and solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation...

Unknowingly, Chen Long walked back to the shantytown where his old couple had been collecting scraps last night. He decided to be shameless and ask this kind old couple for help tonight...

"You're back? You haven't found a job that suits you, right? It doesn't matter. Come back to my place and stay here for a few days to tide over the difficulties."

The old man greeted him with great understanding and sympathy.

"Young man, you haven't had dinner yet. There's still food left. I'll heat it up for you to eat." The old aunt also asked him with enthusiasm and concern.

Hearing the old couple greeting and treating him like close relatives, he was so moved that he nodded and tears welled up in his eyes.

After all, he was hungry and tired all day long. Chen Long did not refuse the leftovers that his aunt reheated for him and ate them all!

Seeing Chen Long's miserable and pitiful appearance, the old man felt very heartbroken and said to him:

"How about I teach you how to pick up scraps. If you know how to pick up, you can still pick up a lot every day. Anyway, I recycle it here. If you pick it up, take it back to me and sell it to me. Don't be too naive.

Look at this job of picking up scraps. My wife and I used to pick up scraps every day, and basically we could sell them for tens of yuan every day."
