Chapter 2: The Hard Road to Finding Relatives
Chapter 2: The Hard Road to Finding Relatives
Li Kang went out with straw sandals on his feet.
He was wearing a shoulder bag, or a vest, and carrying a military green school bag.
He had a straw hat on his head.
The ultraviolet rays in Xishuangbanna are not much worse than those in my hometown. He was tanned very dark.
Li Kang lowered the brim of his hat, and a few young men he was familiar with appeared in front of him.
About the same age as him.
Because Li Kang had no father, he was bullied a lot when he was a child.
Children without mothers are bullied and cannot hold their heads up in school. All of them have this problem.
"Stop. Li Kang, you meet an old friend, why don't you say hello?"
A few bad boys were openly smoking at the entrance of the village, and people passing by even avoided them when they saw them.
Li Kang's expression changed slightly, "I didn't expect that they would recognize me after all."
Yan Liang and his friends often bully Li Kang at school.
"I heard that your grandma died a few days ago. It's so pitiful that you suddenly became an orphan."
"Brother Liang, I heard that he has a father in the city, and he is not an orphan."
"My dear son, since you have lost your father, why don't you recognize us as your fathers?"
Hahahaha~
Several people laughed at Li Kang in front of him, making sure he would not dare to resist.
Li Kang had been bullied by these people at school many times before.
On the way home from school, he was blocked.
His grandma was the only one at home, and he didn't dare tell her about his grievances, for fear that she would be sad.
"My dear, what's wrong with your clothes?"
"I accidentally fell, don't worry."
At night, I hid in the quilt alone and wiped away my tears secretly.
What's even worse is that this group of people often make fun of his father and deceased mother.
He was nicknamed "bastard".
"Li Kang, roll over here and lie down. Who taught you not to say hello to your big brother when you saw him?"
"It must be his widow. No wonder he died so early."
Li Kang couldn't help but clench his fists
“If you had let me pass just now, I wouldn’t have been bullied by you before.
Now you have brought it to me.”
Even a clay figure has a temper, not to mention that Li Kang's soul had already changed.
When Aliang wasn't paying attention, he picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at him in the face.
These people were used to bullying Li Kang and never expected that Li Kang would resist so fiercely.
With one stone, Aliang's nose bridge was crooked and his face was broken.
Aliang screamed in pain and squatted down, covering his face.
While the others were still in shock, Li Kang gave each of them a stone in the same way.
He rode on them, pinned them to the ground and beat them hard.
The strength in his hands was almost as strong as that of his breast.
In less than half a minute, several people were beaten and bleeding.
After the beating, his hands were swollen.
Li Kang was really ruthless. If one was not careful and hit the temple, it might be fatal.
However, he also vented his anger, and he felt very happy when he saw the people who had bullied him in the past had wounds all over their heads.
"Do you still dare to bully others?"
Yan Liang was also a ruthless man. While Li Kang was not paying attention, he used his still-movable hand to punch Li Kang in the eye.
The eyes quickly became bruised.
"You dare to hit me, Li Kang? I'm going to kill you."
Li Kang didn't expect that Yan Liang still had the courage to resist.
He was not afraid at all and fought with him.
Two people rolled on the ground.
The clothes I just changed into before going out are now covered in mud.
Li Kang was so angry.
His numb hands had lost all their strength, and his face had been hit so hard by Yan Liang that it was almost disfigured.
He made up his mind and bit Yan Liang's unprotected ear fiercely.
"You'll be bullying me!!!"
It seemed as if he had vented out all the humiliation his predecessor had endured over the years.
With one bite, he actually bit off Yan Liang's ear.
"what!!"
"My ears."
Yan Liang's ear was bitten off and he screamed in pain with tears streaming down his face.
"You actually bit off my ear. I'm going to sue you and have you arrested."
"You deserve it. Who allowed you to bully me?"
After biting off Yan Liang's ear, Li Kang was a little panicked, knowing that he had gotten into trouble. He kicked him away and ran out of the village with his schoolbag.
A few problem teenagers were left sitting there crying, and soon they attracted passers-by who took them home.
By the time their parents went to call the police, Li Kang had already quietly slipped onto a tractor semi-trailer and left.
Li Kang was lying in the haystack, gasping for breath.
The roar of the engine covered all other sounds, so the owner in front couldn't hear it.
If he found out that there was such a big child in his car, he would definitely kick Li Kang out.
Only after reaching the highway did Li Kang jump out of the car.
This jump attracted the owner's attention.
He cursed, "Shabi, you bastard! Who allowed you to get on my car?"
The car owner didn't dare to stop and chase Li Kang. Once he stopped, it would not be easy to start again.
By then Li Kang had already run away.
The curses he spoke were particularly harsh.
"What's wrong with taking a ride for a while? Go to hell with you."
Li Kang spat at the car owner and cursed back.
"I'm riding in your car to give you face. Come and hit me, you bastard."
After a fight with Yan Liang and his gang, Li Kang's temper became worse.
Like a uncultured hooligan.
If someone dares to scold him, he will definitely scold back.
I won't tolerate your bullshit at all.
……
There are public buses on this road, which run exclusively within the city.
The car arrived, and as soon as Li Kang got on, he attracted the attention of everyone on the car.
"Hey~, kid, who did you fight with? Why are you fighting so hard?"
"I fought with a group of dogs and I won. Isn't that awesome?"
The people in the car were also amused by Li Kang's words. The people here are tough and it is common for children to fight with each other.
They weren't too surprised.
Li Kang paid the fare, sat down at a seat, and waited for the bus to arrive at the terminal.
It was almost dusk when we arrived at the train station.
"Are there any tickets left to Shanghai?"
"You're late. Today's tickets are sold out."
At this time, the loudspeaker called out, "The train to Shanghai is about to depart. Passengers who haven't boarded yet, please hurry up."
"What about the tickets to Sichuan and Chongqing?"
At that time, Chongqing still belonged to Sichuan, so Sichuan was added before calling it Chongqing.
The staff member replied: “No.”
Li Kang originally wanted to get on the bus first and buy the ticket later. It seems that people at this time are not stupid.
Suddenly, a discarded ticket on the ground caught his attention.
Li Kang ran over and picked it up, then went straight around the several inspection gates outside.
Security checks in this era were not that strict and there were loopholes everywhere.
Li Kang thought of a way to go to Shanghai by bus without spending any money.
Ticket evasion.
There is a ticket gate at the outermost entrance to the station. Li Kang took advantage of the time when the staff was checking tickets for others as there were many people around.
He took the opportunity to slip through the first checkpoint.
Enter the station and head straight for the train to Shanghai.
There seemed to be a voice in his heart cheering him up, "Hurry up, hurry up. Get on the train to Shanghai and find Dad."
Finally, I dared to sneak onto the train before it started.
The ticket inspector didn't look closely because there were so many people.
Li Kang squeezed past the man from behind when the ticket inspector wasn't paying attention.
It is not shameful to evade the ticket. Smart people,
I also took this opportunity to throw in my child who wanted to buy a half-price ticket.
Ticket inspectors often turn a blind eye to this.
Although it is stipulated that children under 12 years old must buy half-price tickets.
But people at that time were still poor, so they would evade tickets if they could.
The ticket inspector was also afraid that they would block the door and make trouble, delaying the people behind them from getting on the bus.
As long as it's not too excessive.
It has no impact on their wages.
Railway personnel live a fairly good life. There are schools to train successors, and hospitals are run independently.
