After the highway traffic in Huaishui County resumed, Yang Chi returned to Daicheng. It was the end of August.Half of China has been wrung out like a wet rag, and traces of the flood can be seen everywhere. What was once the water level is now a black stain.Along the direction of the water flow, the grass and trees fell, making a mess.Many places smelled of the fishy smell after the flood. Previously in Huaishui County, he stayed in the hospital for a while, then went to the widow's accountant and borrowed several hundred yuan.The latter was very righteous, but it was also strange why Yang Chi didn't ask the pesticide factory for money.Yang Chi said that Zhu Kang's arm could be removed if this matter became serious, but after careful consideration, it was better to handle it in a low-key manner and not let the factory know.The widow's accountant didn't understand, and Yang Chi didn't say why.In the hospital, he made a phone call back to Daicheng, telling his family not to worry and keep quiet.We told him that Dai Dai was gone, and so was Xiao Su.

Yang Chi said, "Then I don't have to rush back." Back at the pesticide factory, he ran to the chairman's office immediately, covered in injuries, handed in a letter of resignation, and described the situation in Huaishui County.The chairman was also taken aback, claiming that he was not in charge of personnel affairs, and that if he resigned, please contact the labor management department.Yang Chi said that if the training fee of 20,000 yuan was waived, it would be easy to talk about anything, if not, he would kill Minister Bao and Zhu Kang in the factory.The chairman was terrified, knowing that this matter would kill people, he nodded repeatedly.Yang Chi said: "There is also the 10,000 that Zhu Kang owes me. Either he will return it to me, or the factory will return it to me." The chairman patted Yang Chi on the shoulder and said, "It will be deducted from his salary." There are circles drawn on the desk to discuss.The chairman saw that Yang Chi's nerves were not normal, so he didn't dare to keep him.Yang Chi stood up and walked to the sales department.

When Minister Bao saw Yang Chi, he was taken aback, and then asked, "Where are you these days?" Yang Chi didn't speak, and walked towards Minister Bao with his face crooked.At this time, someone from the chairman's office came downstairs and shouted at Minister Bao: "Old Bao, run away, Yang Chi is going to kill you." Minister Bao reacted very quickly, and with a whoosh, he ran to an unknown place.A group of salesmen rushed over and held Yang Chi down. Like a criminal suspect, they grabbed his hair and twisted his arms. Someone took advantage of the chaos and kicked him on the ass.The salesmen were victorious and shouted: "Minister, don't worry, Yang Chi is already under our control." However, Minister Bao never came back.

Yang Chi thought to himself, what is this, a palace coup?All I fucking want is my money back. This group of people took him to the security department and asked what to do.The security department said that the chairman had already slipped away, and left an oral order: fire this kid, and he will not have to pay the 20,000 yuan training fee.In addition, six burly men from the pesticide workshop were transferred. They no longer have to work three shifts. Instead, they wear security uniforms and electric batons. They take turns to stand guard at the gate of the factory office. After Yang Chi was fired, he didn't immediately go to see Senior Sister Shaoxing.After wandering around selling pesticides for a long time, I suddenly stopped, not knowing what to do.In order to make up for the three days of starvation in Huaishui County, he ate everywhere, and killing a hamburger in two minutes was nothing to him.He wanted to eat roast duck, but there was no decent roast duck restaurant in Daicheng, only salted duck, which made his mouth dry and drank water like crazy.Once he even planned to break the precept, eat some fatty meat, swallowed it down, and sprayed out the last meal.As usual, I called Lu Xiaojuan and asked her what the situation was.Lu Xiaojuan said: "I resigned and stopped being a doctor."

"Then what do you do?" "Drug dealers." Lu Xiaojuan said flatly on the other end of the phone, "I can't get along in the hospital anymore. Only drug dealers can make money now. As for Yang Chi, you'd better let him see a psychiatrist. Definitely suffering from depression." I dare not take him there, I can only watch him gain weight day by day.One night in the middle of the night, he knocked on the door and came into my house, saying that he had eaten up all the food in the refrigerator and wanted to see if there was anything in my house.Open it up and see it's empty.I said that since the flood, the price of vegetables has skyrocketed, and our family eats very simply.Yang Chi dragged out a piece of leftover dried tofu from the refrigerator, chewed it and said it was rotten.I found half a salted duck egg on the table, took a bite and said, this is not as good as the salted duck egg in Huaishui County, it is really delicious.

That night, he asked me: "Before Dai Dai left, you didn't see her off. Why?" I said: "I don't like to give away people. I have tears in my eyes. Xiao Su said that she should forget about us, otherwise when she grows up, she will come to ask about the current situation. Of the three of us, no one can explain clearly." Yang Chi was stunned for a while, then said, "I lived to be twenty-five years old, and I kept asking about many things, but no one could explain them clearly." I said, "You're Chinese, it's best if you don't know. But when Dai Dai came to question you, she was an American."

Yang Chi shook his head, ate salted duck eggs and said, "Do you know what I wanted to do the most during the three days I was on the roof?" "Eat? See Dai Dai? Miss me?" "What I want to do the most is to lie down and roll wildly, but I can't roll on the roof. If I roll, I will fall into the water." Yang Chi continued shaking his head, "I want to roll in pain, I'm dying But I stayed sane and didn't roll over. Finally, I fell into the water while waving at the Zodiac."
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yang Chi received a call from Teacher Lin, asking him to attend the social gathering of the orphanage.Yang Chi said: "I'm not free." Teacher Lin said: "You can come, we still have dinner, I want to meet you." As soon as he heard that there was something to eat, he agreed to go.

He deliberately dressed himself up.Put on a gray suit, white shirt, a gold tie and a fake Goldlion belt, and borrow a tie clip from my dad.It's a pity that I still have a pair of broken leather shoes on my feet. I said that Xiao Su had leather shoes left at my house, the rocket-headed ones, and Yang Chi thought it was just right to wear them.Now you're all dressed up.Yang Chi also said that dark socks must be worn, this is the etiquette standard, go back upstairs and change. I was very surprised and asked him: "Where did you buy this outfit?" "I just bought it. I plan to go to Shanghai to apply for a job with Shaoxing Senior Sister. I must dress decently, otherwise HR will kick me out."

"You can also kick HR in." In the past, he worked as a pesticide salesman and didn't need this kind of attire at all.All the salesmen in the world have to dress neatly, with the exception of pesticide salesmen. They pretend to be farmers for a while, and cadres for a while, but they cannot tell others that they are businessmen.Now Yang Chi can finally go back to a handsome, high-spirited attire, which makes me a little jealous—I work in a bridal dress shop, and the only time when I'm handsome is as a model wearing the groom's tuxedo. Yang Chi got on the bus and arrived at the orphanage in a suit and tie. It was getting late, and a bright moon was in the sky, round and round as if he was in a daze.Walking along the alley lined with phoenix-tailed bamboos, Dai Dai was taken out of the orphanage ten months ago, and it was also through this road. Suddenly, she was already in the United States.Yang Chi thought, I owe her a farewell.

The orphanage was very lively that day, and charitable representatives from all walks of life went there.Dean Yang greeted people everywhere, and she was promoted to the principal dean.Yang Chi stood quietly in the corner without saying a word.After a while, Teacher Lin came and said to Yang Chi, "I haven't seen you for a while, you've gained weight." Yang Chi nodded. Teacher Lin said: "Are you upset? I called your home and heard that you were on a business trip and encountered some unpleasant things." Yang Chi said: "It's all over, I no longer work in the pesticide factory."

Teacher Lin looked at Yang Chi's suit, and naturally thought that he was looking for another job, so he didn't ask any more questions, and asked Yang Chi to sit in the reception room.Many people drank tea and walked around inside, Yang Chi felt unaccustomed to it.He always thought that the orphanage was deserted, with a clean concrete road and a group of well-behaved children, that's all.When he was twenty-five years old, he became quite cynical because of being unemployed and being tricked by others. He didn't know what it meant for these people to make such a fuss in the orphanage. There are no orphans on this occasion, most of them are social sages.He sat alone in the corner, dressed like five or six, and could also pretend to be a sage.After a while, I heard a booming sound outside, and Master Changxin, the abbot of Dinghui Temple in Daicheng, came with two disciples.The abbot is almost eighty years old, and he is the most famous person in the venue, sitting on the sofa in the middle.Everyone immediately fell silent.The abbot dressed plainly, lowered his eyes and did not speak.After a while, a middle-aged monk took out the badges of Dinghui Temple and distributed them to the people present one by one. Teacher Lin walked up to Yang Chi and said in a low voice, "This is Master Changxin's eldest disciple." Yang Chi was in a trance, and said "Oh".Dean Yang led the middle-aged monk to Yang Chi, and introduced: "This is Xiao Yang from the pesticide factory. He adopted an orphan in the orphanage." Reported." Yang Chi said, "I don't want to repay you well." The middle-aged monk was stunned for a moment, and said, "You don't want to be rewarded?" "Yeah, don't take it easy." No one in the hall spoke, they looked at Yang Chi.The middle-aged monk turned his head to look at the abbot. The abbot had no expression on his face. He seemed to be in samadhi, or he might be dozing off.The middle-aged monk shook his head, walked towards the next one with the badge in his hand, and suddenly looked back at Yang Chi, as if to make sure, you really don't want to reward him?Yang Chi was happy, and nodded, I really don't want it. Is there anything else you can give, except good rewards. That dinner was a bit of a pain.In a large dining room, more than twenty round tables were set up, and Yang Chi was arranged at a table in the corner.He didn't know before that there was such a big hall in the orphanage.As Dean Yang and social leaders walked in, the old people who had been sitting around the dining table stood up and applauded.Yang Chi had never seen these people before, and he knew they were the orphans of the orphanage, those people called Dai Zong, Dai Yunong, and Davis.No orphans were seen in the huge dining room. Speaking on the stage, the old people in the audience sat blankly.Yang Chi looked at the cold dishes on the table, and an old man beside him quietly picked up the chopsticks and put a edamame in his mouth.After a long time, Dean Yang ordered to start eating.The old people ate very slowly, and Yang Chi couldn't bear to compete with them.Soon another beautiful girl came in, with the monastery's badge pinned to her chest, holding a two or three-year-old girl in her arms, sitting opposite Lao Yang.The girl can't speak much yet and looks healthy.The girl said, "Are you Yang Chi? I've read about you in the newspaper." "And then?" Yang Chi said, "You also adopted an orphan?" "Yes." The girl let the girl stand on her lap, squeezed her wrist and greeted Yang Chi. "You set a great example." At this time, Teacher Lin came over and introduced, "This is Ms. Wang, who works in the customs office of the High-tech Development Zone." Yang Chi nodded.Miss Wang said, "Where's your child?" "Go to America." Yang Chi said. "That's not bad." Ms. Wang hugged the child and stuffed a duck's tongue into her mouth, "My child was thrown in the development zone by her parents last year. There are many migrant workers in the development zone, and some of them have no quality. After giving birth, I threw it away and let the government raise it. This child was picked up by our colleagues. It was only over one year old at the time. We sent her to an orphanage. Later, I remembered seeing you in the newspaper, and I decided to do the same. I want to adopt her. Hey, I have been with her for a few months, and now I like her very much. If she also goes to the United States, I might not be willing to part with her." Yang Chi thought to himself, Chicken Feather, you don't understand farts, so I have nothing to say to you.At this moment, he suddenly felt a little lonely and a little embarrassed. If Dai Dai was around, he might have a good chat with the customs lady.In the first half of his life, he was nagging, always sunny, never twisted, and could chat well with anyone, even kidnappers, but this day he couldn't. Yang Chi got up to leave, went outside, and lit a cigarette in the dark corridor.Teacher Lin chased after him. "I have to discuss something with you." Teacher Lin said, "You paid for Dai Dai's living expenses for a year, but it only took more than half a year. Think about it, should you continue to adopt another one?" Yang Chi said calmly: "You think I'm stupid, adopt another one, and you'll send it to America?" Teacher Lin said, "I'm sorry. I know you're sad, so let me walk with you for a while." The two walked in the dark corridor and turned to the flower bed.Yang Chi said, "Did Dai Dai cry when she left?" Teacher Lin shook her head and said, "She doesn't know what happened. She didn't cry." Yang Chi said, "Mr. Lin, you are an orphan yourself. Did you really not know what happened when you were a child?" Teacher Lin said: "Don't say that, it hurts people." Yang Chi said: "Then I won't talk about you." Teacher Lin said: "What we did Everything is in compliance with laws and regulations, Chinese and American. Even if Dai Dai does not go to the United States, you cannot prevent her from being adopted by a Chinese family, and her legal parents have the right to refuse you to visit. In other words, you I will never see her." Yang Chi said, "I didn't stop the orphanage from doing this business, I just expressed my feelings." Standing in the dark, Teacher Lin said, "Business." The moon rose above his head, and Yang Chi couldn't see Teacher Lin's expression, but felt that his hand was being grabbed by her.Teacher Lin said: "I'll take you to see a place. Last time you said to me, 'There are not enough actors'." She led him into a building, which was obviously newly built, with aluminum alloy grilles installed on every window, and lights were lit in several places. Looking up from downstairs, it looked a bit like a prison or a madhouse.They walked up the stairs, Teacher Lin touched the wall, and the light was on.The journey was very long, until we reached the highest floor. Teacher Lin pushed open two doors that were closed and let Yang Chi go in.Inside, an auntie nurse in a sweater stood up to say hello. "The lights will be turned off in a moment." Teacher Lin said, "Yang Chi, I'll take you around." It was a huge room with whitewashed walls and green below the waistline.There are several pillars in the middle of the house.Rows of children's beds, the kind with railings, some with one big child sleeping, some with two small children, and some with babies.The fluorescent lights were half turned off, and there was a thin wind blowing from nowhere.Yang Chi followed Teacher Lin for a few steps, feeling that the atmosphere was not right, there was an unbearable sadness and silence, as if you were walking well and suddenly sank into a swamp, as if the world you had experienced, all the time and experience were twisted here into a grimace.Teacher Lin said, "Yes, they are all mentally handicapped." The aunt said, "Two hundred and three." Yang Chi stopped and said, "I didn't know there were so many people in the orphanage." The aunt said: "There are too many people, and there are old people with dementia in the building behind, all of whom were thrown away. There are too many people." Yang Chi wanted to leave, but suddenly felt strange. A one-year-old child stretched out his hand from the gap in the guardrail and pinched his fingers.He looked down at his fingers. The child held them tightly. He couldn't break free, and he didn't dare to break free. He felt pain.He thought, I thought being on the roof of Huashui County was the most tragic moment, the moment when God was most needed, but now I know that the darkest way of God is to throw two hundred demented angels at you.They are all surnamed Dai, but they have no names, only the numbers on the bed frame. At this moment, you will know what it feels like if your heart stops beating. Teacher Lin leaned on the pillar and looked at Yang Chi sadly, waiting for him to say something, but he didn't say a word until he said goodbye that day.Teacher Lin once called him from behind, but he walked straight down the path without looking back.The moonlight was cold, and the surroundings could be seen clearly, and he never returned to this place.
That night Yang Chi walked out of the path and waited for the bus under the moonlight, but it didn't come after waiting for a long time.He walked down the road, hoping to get out of the area and find a taxi, but the road was silent and there was no answer.Later, I saw a small shop selling cigarettes on the side of the road, and I could make long-distance calls.Yang Chi stopped at the counter and hesitated for a while, then dialed Senior Sister Shaoxing's cell phone. "Miss me during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Senior Sister Shaoxing said, "Buy a train ticket and come to Shanghai to find me right away, just tonight. Drink with me and explain your marital problems by the way." Yang Chi originally wanted to say, please help me.Thinking about it later, he had already said this sentence to the female kidnapper in Huaishui County, and this sentence has expired as a one-time use spell.He froze for a while, then said into the phone receiver, "I'm too full to walk, can you pick me up?"
