Chapter 404 Jiang Hai's Past (Part 1)
One year ago, Wudang Sect.
Since his parents divorced and formed their own families, Jiang Hai's personality has become somewhat eccentric. I don't know whether it is inferiority or pride.
In Wudang Sect, he is unwilling to have even the slightest intersection with any classmates. His thin body carries a huge canvas schoolbag that is completely inconsistent with his body shape. Jiang Hai is somewhat out of tune with the entire sect.
However, compared with the loss of a complete family, the precocious Jiang Hai does not care about these ridicules and isolation.
But sometimes, some things are not that you don't care about them, so people won't come to you.
Open-air stadium, audience stand.
Jiang Hai sat alone on the railing beside the stands, looking calmly at the crowd boxing in the martial arts field, licking an ice stick in the cold winter wind.
It's cold outside and icy inside.
He thinks it suits him well.
"Da Da, Da Da."
A tall and strong man wearing the same sect costume led two people to Jiang Hai's back, put his hand on Jiang Hai's shoulder, patted Jiang Hai's cheek, and said with a smile:
"Xiao Hai, the seniors are about to celebrate the New Year, as a junior, do you want to show your appreciation? Ah?"
A fat man following behind him, with a face full of fat, immediately agreed: "You have to give more this time, so that we will not waste our diligent teaching for you this year."
"Puchi."
As soon as these words came out, a skinny boy standing next to the fat man laughed first, and then the three of them looked at each other and laughed out loud.
Jiang Hai raised his head and glanced at the three faces in front of him, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head again.
"Brother Zhang, haven't you given me the spiritual stones for this month?"
The leader, known as Brother Zhang, looked grim, and slapped the popsicle in Jiang Hai's hand to the ground. He approached Jiang Hai with a ferocious face and said in a rough voice:
"Brothers are leaving soon. We are asking you for some tribute to give you face. Don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit!"
Jiang Hai looked at the half-melted popsicle on the ground, feeling a little numb.
"That's right! I guess he just wants to be punished." The fat man crossed his hands and held them in front of his chest, twisting them and making "pa pa" sounds, and said with a fake smile.
"Why are you still nagging him?"
The thin man simply stepped forward and tried to snatch the canvas bag on Jiang Hai's back, "Just search it directly. Oh my god, this kid won't give me the bag!"
Jiang Hai stretched out his hand to grab the thin man's wrist that was trying to snatch his bag, and said with red eyes: "You are too much. I have already given you spiritual stones, why are you still asking me for spiritual stones!"
When Brother Zhang heard this, his eyebrows immediately stood up, and a trace of anger appeared on his face. Without saying much, he snorted coldly, grabbed Jiang Hai's collar directly, and threw him to the ground.
Then he kicked Jiang Hai's unprotected belly, and after kicking him down, he casually called the fat man and the thin man, and several people trampled and kicked Jiang Hai, who was lying on the ground, together.
After beating for a long time, Brother Zhang leaned over and forcibly pulled off the canvas bag on Jiang Hai's body, unzipped it, and poured all the books and things inside onto Jiang Hai.
Then, as if throwing away garbage, he threw the canvas bag in his hand into the corner of the stand full of spider webs, and with a bang, a lot of dust was raised.
"Boy, prepare a thousand spirit stones by the end of the month, otherwise you will suffer."
After that, several people left in high spirits. During the period, there was no violent resistance from Jiang Hai, and no class monitor or teacher who saw injustice.
The students who were playing football still cheered enthusiastically for the wonderful cooperation just now. No one cared about the empty stands, not a single person.
It seemed commonplace.
Jiang Hai lay on the ground and endured endless kicks and insults again and again, but he could only clench his fists and hope that time would pass faster.
After the three left, Jiang Hai, who was lying on the ground, sighed, struggled to get up and sit against the wall, and added a few more disgusts in his heart.
He didn't understand why there were such shameless people. They were both single-parent families who lacked parental care, but they always looked for a sense of existence in him.
He turned his head and silently looked at the exaggeratedly large and tacky canvas bag thrown in the corner. This was a gift from his mother after his parents divorced, saying that if he bought a bigger one, he could use it until he went to college.
When he grows up and enters society, will he be more miserable and more painful than now?
After a while, Jiang Hai, who was exhausted, got up and went to the corner to pick up the canvas bag. He walked back and slowly picked up the things thrown on the ground by several people. He thought that maybe he should take the part-time job of the person on QQ and make some money to get through the current hurdle.
Hey, it will be better after they graduate and leave.
It's only been half a year.
It's a little different from what I expected. I didn't expect this stranger on the Internet to be so generous.
Jiang Hai had just passed the friend, and the other person transferred a red envelope of 100 yuan, followed by a smiley face and a short sentence.
"Hello, classmate."
Jiang Hai, who had not been cared for for a long time, was still in pain at this moment, but he was still touched by these two very simple words.
This kind of ordinary respect, which can't be called respect, is what Jiang Hai longed for, an equal exchange that he hadn't encountered in a long time.
In the subsequent chat between the two, Jiang Hai learned that the other party's request was very simple, which was to go to the Internet cafe designated by the other party to surf the Internet.
As long as he successfully accesses the Internet once, whether he uses his own ID card or borrows someone else's ID card, as long as he surfs the Internet in the Internet cafe for a full hour, the other party will pay him 200 yuan for his hard work.
The precocious Jiang Hai is a loner, but he is not stupid.
He knows that Internet cafes prohibit people under the age of 18 from entering and using computers, and it is clearly posted on the glass door.
The person on the other side of the computer screen obviously noticed Jiang Hai's hesitation, and the other party forwarded a word file with very detailed content, explaining in detail that it is not a big deal for minors to go to Internet cafes to surf the Internet.
It is neither illegal nor against the law.
This matter is weird, and it must be a bad thing. Who hasn't heard of grandma's poisonous apple when they were young?
Jiang Hai smiled bitterly, he had no choice.
In order to pay the three bullies a thousand yuan New Year's red envelope, he could only carry the canvas backpack that he depended on for life, and try his best to sneak into the Internet cafe to turn on the computer and surf the Internet according to the instructions of netizens.
Then wait for a full hour, and then run away.
Yes, he ran away without looking back.
After a month, Jiang Hai finally collected 1,000 yuan, and then deleted the unknown netizen as a friend, and cancelled his QQ account as if he was escaping, fearing that the police would come to his door through the computer network cable.
After a few days of fear, Jiang Hai just waited for the final exam to give the money to the other party to settle the matter, and waited for another half a year for the other party to graduate.
As a result, on the day before the final exam, a man who claimed to be a policeman came to the roadside at the school gate.
At this moment, Jiang Hai suddenly clenched the 1,000 yuan in his pocket and stared at the police nervously, fearing that the other party would take him to the police station or the school's political education department.
In just ten seconds, Jiang Hai even went over in his mind the miserable future of dropping out of school because of this incident and running to work in an electronics factory in the south.
As a result, the police let him go easily.
Before leaving, he also told him to study hard and make progress every day.
It is said that the stranger on the Internet had a purpose for showing kindness to him, but the policeman caught him when he had already made a mistake, but he just let him go easily.
Is this the policeman?
Jiang Hai, who felt that even his parents, teachers and classmates had given up on him, turned 18 this year.
At the time of his adulthood, he suddenly had a direction for his future.
Jiang Hai didn't want to continue to escape.
