It turned out that the factory was still under construction, and there were still a large pile of stone, sand and cement in the factory.

The guard at the door was an old man in his fifties. He said to Lei Xiong in Mandarin with a sandwich, "It will take at least three months to officially start construction. You can come back in three months!"

"I can help you as a construction worker. I am very strong and not afraid of hardship."

The old man looked at him and said, "It looks OK to see how you look. This group of the West China Gang of Construction Engineering, who are you from?"

"I'm Hanbei."

"As long as you are not afraid of being bullied, you can come."

Lei Xiong smiled and said, "Do you have food and accommodation? I have two friends, one man and one woman, I'll call them over."

"There is another woman? That's not OK. Everyone here is a man who sleeps in the bed. When the woman comes, she has no place to sleep."

"ah?!"

...

After the three of them met, they continued to move forward.

After walking for a while, I saw a horizontal plaque hanging at the door of a large yard with the words "Luangang Town's third quarter labor supply and demand market".

The yard is very large, with rows of tables inside neatly arranged. The crowds come and go, and it seems that they are looking for jobs.

The three of them were delighted and walked in. They saw that the room was hung with banners of recruitment information written on red paper, like red brocade, which looked lively and festive. They recruited all kinds of jobs, but most of them were manual labor.

The recruiters sitting behind the table were serious, arrogant and disdainful.

The three walked to the table of a man in his forties.

"Brother, are you recruiting workers?" Li Yun asked with a smile.

The man glanced at them coldly and asked, "Where is your letter of introduction?"

Adult Jie asked: "What letter of introduction?"

The man pointed to a window and said, "Go there and open it and come and ask."

The three of them asked several more places, and each unit had to present a letter of introduction.

The three of them came to the window and saw a few big words written on it - "Editor fee of 50 yuan per person".

The three of them were stunned again. Li Yun did not give up and asked a girl in her twenties in the window: "Do you have to pay 50 yuan?"

The girl didn't raise her head and said, "Yes."

Li Yun gritted his teeth and asked, "You will send us a letter of introduction first, and then pay back the money to you after we find a job? We will not rely on your account."

The girl curled her lips and smiled, not paying attention to them anymore.

The three of them walked out disappointedly, and saw the lively scenes and the bustling crowds inside, and felt a little at a loss.

"Xiong, can you listen to my advice? There are many people here. Let's take advantage of the fact that we are playing a few tricks now and don't make some money on them. Where can the three of us live tonight?"

Adult Jie said seriously.

"No, I firmly disagree. Don't mention this."

Lei Xiong's tone was decisive.

"Adults, we have already agreed before we come out that we should enjoy the blessings and share difficulties. How can we be so easy to get along in the south? If you encounter some difficulties, you will compromise." Li Yun said, "I believe that senior brother has a way."

It was noon, and the sun was scorching. The sun in the south was particularly fierce, making people unable to open their eyes. The three of them were thirsty and hot. When they arrived at a shop, they saw a bench at the door and sat down to rest.

A middle-aged man looked at them and said, "Get up, I want to take this bench in." Before the three of them stood up, they had already started to draw the bench.

Adult Jie gave him a look and muttered: "Another pair of dog eyes!"

The three of them continued to walk forward, not knowing where they were going. There was a bridge about 30 meters long in front of them. The bridge deck was very wide. Under the bridge was a river of sewage, which was thought to be caused by industrial pollution.

A gust of hot wind blew, Li Yun felt dizzy and said, "Senior Brother, I want to take a break."

Lei Xiong felt very distressed when he saw that her face was full of no spirit.

There is an open opening on the bridge railing, and there are several steps to go down to the bridge deck. Below is a flat surface welded with steel bars, which is the same width as the bridge deck, and is protected by railings on both sides, which is a benefit for cooling off. There are also a few pieces of cardboard and wooden boards on it, and it seems that someone has slept here.

The three of them came down and sat down to rest.

Lei Xiong did not say a word, and suddenly felt guilty and self-blame. He provoked the Black Dragon Association, and was ambushed by them, resulting in the loss of luggage and money, and punished Ke Dalong. He didn't care about these things, and it was inevitable. However, his junior brother and sister suffered such hardships.

Li Yun saw his expression, smiled slightly and said, "Senior Brother, don't worry, we will find a job."

Adult Jie said sourly: "Oh, this doesn't seem to be the style of a senior brother. I'm discouraged when I encounter this difficulty? How great is this, it's cool and comfortable."

Lei Xiong stood up and said, "Stop teasing, I'll go out and find a way."

Lei Xiong came to the street. There was basically no one except cars on the street. Maybe it was too hot and no one dared to come out.

He walked around and came to the entrance of a shopping mall and saw a bunch of people sitting on the stool at the door. These people were men in their thirties and forties, naked and with a towel on their dark shirts. They were chatting and laughing enthusiastically while looking at the intersection.

At this moment, a blue convertible truck drove over. A man in the car opened the door and shouted. The group of men rushed forward and sat on the mercenary.

Lei Xiong also jumped up.

The two of them rested for a while. After the cool breeze blew, Li Yun felt a little better, and a faint blush appeared on his face.

Adult Jie looked at her delicate appearance, grabbed her hand gently and asked, "Junior sister, are you feeling better?"

Li Yun subconsciously pulled his hand back and said, "It's much better, I don't know where the eldest brother is going."

Cheng Renjie said: "Junior sister, my senior brother only asked me to come to the south at the beginning, and I asked him to find you. If it weren't for me, you might not have come out, and you wouldn't regret it?"

Li Yun was weak and sickly since childhood. It was not that he had thought of these things, but he didn't know why he ignored it as long as he could be with his senior brothers. Naturally, he did not regret it, so he shook his head gently.

When Cheng Renjie saw her like this, he was so happy that he smiled at her, and Li Yun smiled back to him.

The two of them talked for a while, and the cool breeze blew, and they both became sleepy. After a while, they fell asleep in a daze.

In the evening, when the two woke up, they still didn't see Lei Xiong coming back, and they both became anxious.

Cheng Renjie wanted to find him, but he didn't know where Lei Xiong had gone, and he was worried that Li Yun was alone at the bottom of the bridge, so he had to wait.

Suddenly, I heard someone calling him the names of the two on the bridge. With the sound of "dongdongdongdong", one person carried a large bag of things down to the bottom of the bridge. It was Lei Xiong.

When Li Yun saw his energetic appearance, his heart suddenly calmed down.

Lei Xiong took out the fast food rice, bread, water and towel from the bag, put it on the cardboard, and said to the two: "Are you all hungry? Eat quickly!"

The two of them walked for most of the day since they got off the train in the early morning. They had not dripped water and had not yet entered the rice. At this moment, they immediately had a big appetite when they saw these foods.

It turned out that the car Lei Xiong was from a moving company, and the men were temporary porters, and they paid their wages according to their hourly occasions. Lei Xiong moved and carried them in the scorching sun, worked for more than five hours, and got dozens of yuan. Of course, with his internal strength, he was naturally underestimated by doing these tasks without any effort. He could have taken care of all the work by himself and completed it in every move, but he was neither willing to show his internal strength in this scene nor let those men lose their way, so he had to spend it with them. When he finished work, although he didn't feel tired, he had a layer of skin on his shoulders.

Lei Xiong said: "To deal with it first, we will think of a long-term solution tomorrow. In the south, there are many opportunities to make money, at least we can't starve to death. It's just that we have to feel wronged our junior sister. We have to stay at the bridge tonight for a night."

Li Yun looked at his smiling face and felt a sense of warmth.

The sky gradually darkened.

At this time, two vague shadows walked down from the bridge, looking at the figures of one old and one young, each dragging a bag full of waste paper and plastic.

The two were surprised when they saw the three people at the bottom of the bridge.

The old man asked, "What are you doing? Why did you occupy our place?"

Lei Xiong was stunned and asked back: "Is this your territory? What are you doing?"

The old man was a little angry and said, "We have picked up waste and lived at the bottom of this bridge for half a year. Look, the board you sleep in is ours."

Lei Xiong smiled slightly and said, "That's right, we just came, we just took a break and left, and we won't live here for a long time."

Adult Jie glared at him angrily: "Let us live here for a long time, how much do you pay for a day?"

The old man snorted, lay down on the spot, and said, "You must leave tomorrow, it is inconvenient for too many people."

Lei Xiong asked the 14-year-old boy why he made a living by picking up garbage. The boy said that it was just because they were not suitable for age and could not find a suitable job. Picking up waste for half a year was only enough to support his life.

Lei Xiong glanced at the old man, and saw his hunched back under the hazy light, and suddenly felt compassion. Soon, he heard the old man's snoring sound.

There were more mosquitoes at the bottom of the bridge. These mosquitoes were much larger than those in the mainland. Everyone kept driving them away with things, and there were still "buzzing" sounds all around him that rushed straight into his eardrums.

The young man picked up a roll of mosquito incense and started smoking it, but it didn't seem to have much effect, but it just slightly weakened the mosquito's offensive.

The three of them felt itchy all over and were restless. They calculated that they had not taken a bath for several days after they had come out of their home, but they were afraid that they would smell bad. When they think about it this way, they felt even more and more difficult to resist. Maybe the river water was too dirty to produce so many mosquitoes, and they didn't feel that the river water was smelly during the day. At this moment, waves of odor that were unknown came up from the river with a slightly hot breath, which made people feel very disgusting.

There are not as many cars on the bridge deck as daytime, but the "rumbling" sound has never stopped for a moment. Occasionally, a heavy car drove over, and a loud "bang" sound shocked the entire bridge.
