Chapter 405 Jiang Hai's Past (Part 1)

A year ago, the 13th GZ in Dongzhou City.

Ever since his parents divorced and started their own families, Jiang Hai's personality has become a bit eccentric, whether because of low self-esteem or pride. In school, he is not willing to have even the slightest interaction with any of his classmates. With a thin body but carrying a huge canvas schoolbag that was completely inconsistent with his body shape, Jiang Hai felt a little out of place in the entire school.

But compared to losing his entire family, the precocious Jiang Hai didn't care about the ridicule and isolation.

But sometimes, if you don’t care about something, people won’t come to you.

Open-air stadium, spectator stand.

Jiang Hai was sitting alone on the railing next to the stands, looking calmly at the crowds of people rushing to play football on the football field, licking a popsicle under the cold winter wind.

It's cold outside and icy inside.

He thinks it suits him quite well.

"Ta-ta. Ta-ta."

A tall man, also wearing the 13th GZ school uniform, led two people to the back of Jiang Hai, put his hand on Jiang Hai's shoulder, patted Jiang Hai's cheek, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Hai, the seniors are celebrating the New Year soon. As a junior, do you want to express your gratitude?"

A fat man following him immediately echoed: "If you give more this time, it will not be in vain for our diligent teaching to you this year."

"Pfft."

As soon as these words came out, a thin student 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 look of disgust flashed in his eyes, and then lowered his head again: "Brother Zhang, didn't I just give you this month's share of the money?"

The leader, who was called Brother Zhang, became pale, slapped the popsicle in Jiang Hai's hand on the ground, and said in a rough voice: "Brothers are going to leave soon. I'm asking you for some filial piety to give you face." , don’t drink as a penalty if you don’t drink the toast!”

Jiang Hai looked at the popsicle that was half melted on the ground, feeling a little numb.

"That's right! I guess he's just too itchy to deal with." The fat man crossed his hands in front of his chest and kept making a "pop" sound, and said with a smile.

"Are you still nagging him?" The thin man simply stepped forward and tried to grab the canvas bag Jiang Hai was carrying, "Just search it. Oh my gosh, this guy won't give me the bag!" "

Jiang Hai stretched out his hand and grabbed the thin man's wrist that was trying to grab his schoolbag. His eyes were red and he said, "I've already given you money."

When Brother Zhang heard this, his eyebrows suddenly stood up, with a look of anger on his face. Without saying much, he grabbed Jiang Hai by the back of the collar and smashed it to the ground.

Then he kicked Jiang Hai's defenseless belly. After kicking the person down, he invited the fat man and the thin man to stamp on Jiang Hai who was lying on the ground and kick him desperately.

When he was exhausted from fighting, Brother Zhang leaned over and forcibly pulled off the canvas bag from Jiang Hai's body. He opened the zipper and all the books and things inside were poured onto Jiang Hai's body.

Then he threw the canvas bag in his hand into the cobweb-covered corner of the stands as if throwing away garbage.

"Boy, prepare a thousand dollars on the day of the final exam, otherwise you will suffer."

After saying that, several people left in high spirits.

During this period, there was no violent resistance from Jiang Hai, nor was there any class monitor or teacher who faced injustice. The students playing football still cheered enthusiastically for the wonderful cooperation just now, and no one cared about the empty stands.

Jiang Hai lay on the ground and endured seemingly endless kicks and insults. He could only clench his fists and hope that time would pass faster.

After the three of them left, Jiang Hai, who was lying on the ground, let out a long breath, struggled to get up and sat against the wall, feeling a little more disgusted in his heart. He doesn't understand why there are such shameless people, who are also from single-parent families who lack parental care, but they always look for a sense of existence in him. This is human nature.

He turned his head and looked silently at the exaggeratedly large and shabby canvas bag that was thrown in the corner. This was a gift from his mother after his parents divorced. He said he wanted to buy a bigger one that he could use until he goes to college.

When you grow up and enter the society, will it be more miserable and painful than now?

After a while, the weak Jiang Hai 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 was thinking that maybe he should take a part-time job from the person on QQ and earn some money. Get over this level first.

Hey, it will be better once they graduate and leave.

It’s only been half a year.

It was a little different than expected. I didn't expect this stranger on the Internet to be so generous.

As soon as Jiang Hai became a friend, someone sent him a red envelope worth 100 yuan, followed by a smiley face and a short sentence.

"Hello, classmate."

Jiang Hai, who had not cared for him for a long time, was still feeling aches and pains in his body at this moment, but his heart was still touched by these two extremely simple words.

This kind of respect that is so ordinary that it can't be called respect, on Jianghai's side, is a yearning for an equal exchange that has not been encountered in an unknown number of years.

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 for one hour in the Internet cafe, the other party will pay him 200 yuan for hard work.

The precocious Jiang Hai has a withdrawn personality, but he is not stupid. He knew that Internet cafes prohibited people under the age of eighteen from entering and using computers, and it was clearly posted on the glass door.

The person on the other side of the computer screen obviously noticed Jiang Hai's hesitation. The other party forwarded a word file with very detailed content, indicating that it was not a big deal for minors to go to Internet cafes to surf the Internet.

It was neither illegal nor against the law.

This matter was weird and 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 depended on each other 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 an hour, and then run away.

Yes, run away without looking back.

After a month, Jiang Hai finally collected a thousand yuan, and then deleted the unknown netizen as a friend, and cancelled his QQ account as if he was escaping, for fear that the police would come to his door along the computer network cable.

After a few days of fear, Jiang Hai just waited for the final exam to give the money to the man and settle the matter, and waited for another half year for the man 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 thousand yuan in his pocket and stared at the policeman 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 thought about his miserable future of dropping out of school and working in an electronics factory in the south because of this incident.

But the policeman 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 before, but the policeman clearly caught him who had 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, just turned 17 this year. As he was about to become an adult, he suddenly had a direction for his future.

Jiang Hai didn't want to continue to escape.
