Chapter 89: All the world is miserable
Ruan Qingshan is twenty-eight years old and the eldest son in the family.
He was playful when he was young, and he was a kid from a rich family who hung out all day long because of the money at home. He was drunk now and drunk the next, and he didn't care what others said. He was often scolded by his parents for being unable to support himself.
So his parents opened a trumpet while they were still young, and his sister Ruan Qingxue, who was eleven years younger than him, was born.
After his sister was born, Ruan Qingshan felt very uncomfortable at first, feeling like an outsider and being excluded.
At first, he didn't like this sister very much. Because the age difference was more than ten years, the relationship between brother and sister was very ordinary.
Until something happened to the family later, only two children who went out to visit relatives survived.
In the first three months, Ruan Qingshan was completely unable to accept such a huge change. He still tried to numb himself with alcohol and tried to return to the circle of the young master. At first, there was no change, but as he became strapped for money, he lost his former self. He acted generously, but instead he was heavily in debt, looked down upon, even belittled and kicked. In the end, it even evolved into a game where one beating would reduce the debt by 10,000 yuan.
Under this situation, Ruan Qingxue still took care of him patiently, studying during the day, working part-time the rest of the time, and working odd jobs at night until late at night.
One night, Ruan Qingshan saw the debt collector finding them. He hid in the bedroom and did not dare to go out. Ruan Qingxue bowed her head in the living room and apologized, but was slapped by the angry debt collector.
Seeing the scene where his sister was bleeding from the corner of her mouth, he realized how absurd, decadent and weak he had been in the past.
So he rushed out and started fighting with the person who did it.
That is, after that night, Ruan Qingshan completely abandoned his past self, persuaded Ruan Qingxue who wanted to drop out of school, and seriously told her that after he came to support the family, she must study hard, and then take back everything that belonged to the Ruan family... … He knew there was nothing he could do, but fortunately he was still strong and could sell some of his strength to make money.
After that, people who went out early and came back late became Ruan Qingshan. Occasionally, he had to go to nightclubs in order to work. He even left Nanling for a short time and followed the ship to unload downstream... When Ruan Qingxue had an accident before, he went out with the ship for three full weeks. Time, there is no way to make it back in time.
In this way, seven years passed.
He has also changed from the handsome young man in the past to a middle-aged man. Although he is only twenty-eight, he has already experienced many vicissitudes of life.
Although he wanted to find a stable job, his past was shady. Once he found out that he was a dishonest person subject to execution, no company dared to hire him, so he could only do some manual labor with a daily salary.
Life was a bit hard, and all his savings were used to pay off debts, but Ruan Qingshan was reluctant to let his sister suffer. He felt guilty for how ridiculous the past was, and he wished he could make up for everything.
After the morning's moving work was over, he had time to take a breath and wiped the hot sweat from his forehead with his wrist. The weather had become very hot since May.
"Qingshan, come here."
"Come here." Ruan Qingshan held his waist and walked over: "What's the matter, boss." "
This is today's salary."
"But I'm not done yet."
"At one o'clock in the afternoon It's work, I can handle it myself later."
"But the daily salary is one hundred and twenty, isn't two hundred here a bit much?" "
Just think of me as an apology." The boss wiped the sweat from his forehead: "You will You don't need to come."
After saying this, the boss thought he was going to make a few remarks, but unexpectedly Ruan Qingshan just showed a accustomed expression: "Okay, thank you for taking care of me, boss." "Hey, me
too I don’t want to...the main supplier is putting pressure on me. What can I, a channel dealer, do?" The boss sighed. He didn’t mind Ruan Qingshan’s past. He just knew he was down-to-earth and willing to work. But How dare a small channel dealer go against Daosheng Group?
Ruan Qingshan smiled and said nothing. He was used to it... He had been working for seven years and struggled to walk at the bottom of society. He already knew that there were still many kind-hearted people in the society. Many industries had their own unspoken rules. Many times, I can't go on, just because my arms can't twist my thighs.
"There is also this, you can take it back too." The boss pointed to the remaining half box of glass soda: "These are about to expire. If you take them away, you can help me deal with them." He also noticed that Ruan Qingshan had moved them
before I was looking at the soda when I bought it. I really wanted to buy a bottle and try it, but I didn't want to.
He also had to pay off his debts and save money for his sister to go to college, so naturally he was reluctant to spend money on such verbal enjoyment.
Ruan Qingshan picked up the soda and noticed that the shelf life was at least a month away. Without saying anything, he bowed, picked up the box and left.
Riding an old but still exciting Phoenix bicycle, Ruan Qingshan was in a good mood despite being fired.
He returned home, put half a box of orange soda in the mini-fridge, and made a call.
The agency will introduce him to the next job. If it doesn't work, he can only go to the job market and work there for a while.
"Hello, Brother Wang, it's me. I've been working recently..."
The call was connected.
Ruan Qingshan came to a barbecue stall on the outskirts of the city in the evening. When he smelled the smell of meat, his mouth filled with saliva.
The intermediary brother Wang stood up and called him over. He didn't doubt it at all. He had cooperated with him many times in the past.
But this was the first time I saw him being so generous, offering to pour him wine and treat him to meat... Brother Wang's financial situation was also not good, and his daughter was also said to be sick and had to take expensive medicine every day.
Ruan Qingshan didn't think much about it, because he was also hungry. There was no reason not to eat wine and meat. The aroma penetrated his nose. If he had to spend money, he probably wouldn't be able to bear it, but it was free... ...
After taking the first bite, I couldn't stop. The two of them pushed each other to exchange cups.
After almost eating, Brother Wang put down his wine glass and said drunkenly: "Yesterday...someone came to me and made me a condition."
Ruan Qingshan asked with a red face: "Condition? Hiccup, what, condition? ?"
"He asked me to convince you that if you sign this thing... you can find someone to treat the disease and save my daughter. A major operation costs this amount." He raised five fingers: "I can't even pay for it if you sell it. But the other party said that as long as he convinces you, it will be free of charge."
After Ruan Qingshan heard this, his consciousness suddenly became much clearer. He was silent for a while and said: "I can't help you with this matter. I'm sorry, Brother Wang - after signing the treaty, I I'm sorry for my dead parents."
"You have to live well now, right?" Brother Wang smiled bitterly and said: "Look at you now, you are living like no one."
Ruan Qingshan laughed after hearing this : "That's wrong, Brother Wang... I can only live like a human being now."
He stood up and said, "Thank you for inviting me to dinner."
After Ruan Qingshan walked away, Brother Wang stood He stood up, paid and left, walking towards an alley. After walking a few steps, he knelt down in front of one.
"I've already taken care of the matter, can you let my daughter go?" A
deep voice sounded from a silhouette deep in the alleyway.
"I will keep my promise. Your daughter will receive a charity donation and her illness will be cured."
Brother Wang kowtowed: "Thank you, thank you..."
"You're welcome."
After the words fell, a dagger shot out and cut his neck. Blood spurted out immediately. The man fell to the ground, clutching his throat, his eyes widened, and his breath was cut off.
...
Ruan Qingshan began to feel that something was wrong with him when he returned home.
He felt intense heat all over his body.
He thought it was caused by drinking, so he took a cold shower.
But it was getting hotter and hotter, as if there was a fire burning in my chest, burning the flesh fiercely.
At the same time, he also heard bowel sounds coming from his abdomen.
Gulu gulu...
I obviously just ate a lot, but now I feel extremely hungry.
He opened the refrigerator, looked for food to devour, took out the scraps of bread and stuffed them into his mouth, but the more he ate, the hungrier he became and he couldn't eat enough at all.
Even if he ate the fresh meat he just bought, he still felt it was not enough, but the smell of blood remaining on the fresh meat made him feel extremely sweet.
He licked the plate clean.
But suddenly he came to his senses and realized that he was behaving like a wild beast drinking blood.
When rationality returned, his stomach was churning. He ran to the edge of the pool, opened his mouth, and vomited out raw meat with blood.
But after vomiting, he felt strong hunger again, eager for new flesh and blood.
The strong sense of conflict caused him to slap his face crazily one after another and hit his head against the wall, trying to use pain to awaken his rationality.
During this violent struggle, he came to the door and saw himself in the mirror hanging on the wall.
The teeth were sharp, the eyes were red, the arms were covered with black hair, the skin of the naked body was blue, and the facial features were a little deformed and hideous... "
Ah!"
Ruan Qingshan took a few steps back in fear, and the huge force knocked over the tables and chairs. He broke the mirror, and the shards cut his palms, leaving blood all over the floor.
At this moment, there was a sound outside the door.
"Brother, I'm back... huh? Why isn't the door closed?"
Ruan Qingxue's voice sounded. She had already arrived in front of the door and quickly realized something was wrong.
The door was not closed, the lights were not turned on, and there was a slight smell of blood in the air, accompanied by the sound of collision.
Got robbed?
Or are thugs hired by Daosheng Group coming?
She was so excited that she immediately slapped her palms on the wall and turned on the lights. The incandescent lights illuminated the room.
Ruan Qingxue held her breath immediately, and her eyes clearly reflected a human demon with blood on its face and the mess in the house.
Fear and panic made her subconsciously take a step back. The next moment, overwhelming anger surged inside her. She looked at the human demon and suppressed her fear without taking a step back.
"What did you do to my brother!"
...
Outside the dilapidated old house, the man carrying a black bow raised his eyes and made a call.
"Everything is as preset... As long as the Ruan brothers and sisters kill each other and die, they will naturally die without evidence." The
phone hung up.
The man in a dark cloak had a deep voice. He stood under the streetlight, exposing his bloody gums, and pulled the bowstring slightly with his fingers.
"Next...it's time to get rid of the demon."
