Are You Addicted?

Meng Jian Zhi was still staying near Bai Luo Yin’s home. He was walking around while pondering, actually what should I do right now? Do I have to keep doing this? Supposed if I went to extremes and really made them angry, would it be impossible for me to get that 200 thousand yuan? But if I didn’t do anything, not only that I don’t have 200 thousand yuan, it would be easy for them too.

I’m going to die anyway, why don’t we die together?

I don’t believe that your energy is more than mine!

Meng Jian Zhi thought about it again and again, he couldn’t help but to walk back towards Bai Luo Yin’s home. He hasn’t even arrived yet, when suddenly the Tibetan Mastiff barked furiously at him.

I wont be able to go inside the house today, so I have to try every means to get some money, otherwise how would I carry my plan tomorrow?

Rob someone? But at this time who would I rob? Woman wouldn’t dare to go out this late night, and I wouldn’t be able to rob a man.

Just when he was thinking, one silhouette suddenly entered Meng Jian Zhi’s view.

Since it was dark, he didn’t know whether it was a man or a woman, but looking at its small body, he might as well try to rob them.

Yang Meng walked while rubbing his face, because of his fell earlier it made his left cheek swollen. That time even when he wanted to shout he didn’t dare to. He just ran wildly all the way here. He kept cursing in his heart, why am I so unlucky? Suddenly, someone walked towards him.

“Give me your money.” Meng Jian Zhi shouted loudly.

At first Yang Meng was frightened, but after he saw that the person in front of him has similiar body as him, with his crooked back, one leg shorter than the other, and his entire body emitted such an unpleasant smell….. he suddenly didn’t feel scared anymore.

When Meng Jian Zhi saw that Yang Meng didn’t give any response, he took one step closer, angrily said: “Give me your money quickly!”

Yang Meng mocked him, “You have such a small body and you still dare to rob me?”

“Are you looking down at me? I’m telling you, this small body is more than sufficient to rob you.”

He took another step as he speaks. An unpleasant smell a.s.saulted Yang Meng’s nostrils.

Yang Meng couldn’t help but to cough twice, “You’re a beggar and you’re still thinking to change your profession? You have to have enough motivation to do better than this!”

Meng Jian Zhi didn’t feel like listening to Yang Meng, he ran towards Yang Meng with a large steps, Yang Meng didn’t have enough time to avoid him, he felt as if he was attacked by a pile of p.o.o.ps, it was really stank.

“Brother, uncle, grandpa, please stand up quickly, okay? I will give you money, is it okay?”

Meng Jian Zhi still gripped Yang Meng firmly and didn’t let him go, “Give it to me first.”

Yang Meng took 15 yuan out of his pocket, “I only have this much.” (around $2)

But, without suspicion Meng Jian Zhi just grabbed that money immediately and walked away.

Yang Meng stood up from the ground, he went around and around in a circle to make the smell on his entire body go away. The smell hasn’t completely gone, so when he entered Bai Luo Yin’s house, A Lang suddenly pounced onto him. He couldn’t help but to sigh, just look at how unlucky I am…

“You were robbed by someone?”

Yang Meng nodded his head, “Well it wasn’t exactly like that, I gave my money of my own accord. He was really stank, but he grabbed me and won’t let me go.”

Bai Luo Yin let out a bitter laugh, “That was Meng Jian Zhi.”

“Huh?” Yang Meng’s mouth wide open, “That was Meng Jian Zhi?! If I had known earlier that he was that stupid fool, I would’ve just beat him! f.u.c.k, I’ve wasted my 15 yuan for nothing.”

Bai Luo Yin didn’t say anything.

Yang Meng shouted again, “It can’t be that he’s going to use that money to print some posters right?”

“No, he won’t be able to print much with just 15 yuan. Besides, he has to eat.”

Yang Meng sat on the bed and crossed his legs, he frowned his eyebrows and he was lost in his thoughts for a while. Suddenly he had this brilliant idea, he pulled Bai Luo Yin over and said, “I have an idea, but I don’t know if it will be effective or not.”

“Say it.”

Yang Meng then whispered something to Bai Luo Yin.

…….

Early morning on the next day, Meng Jian Zhi bought two steamed buns, forced himself to full his stomach. After that he went to the grocery store and bought a cheap loudspeaker, then he went back to the alley where Bai Luo Yin’s house is.

He built his emotion while waiting for the peak hour for people to go to work.

Soon enough, gradually more and more people walked by, everyone were staring at Meng Jian Zhi with a confused gaze. There were three people sat not far from him, as if they knew that he’s going to start a performance.

Meng Jian Zhi lightly coughed twice, then he began to cry on his loudspeaker.

“Someone s.n.a.t.c.hed my wife from me, my son didn’t recognize me, who in this world is more pitiful than me?! Zhou Xiu Yun you evil woman, you left me and go with some other man, you…..”

“Oh my G.o.d!”

Suddenly a loud shout can be heard from his side, it frightened Meng Jian Zhi. He turned his head around, and he saw a man was sitting not far from him, he cried louder than him, he cried while punching the ground.

“My wife ran away with another man, they even poisoned me until I got pustules all over my body, and when it festered you can even see my bones…… My own son together with his step father burned my own house! Who’s more pitiful than me? Who’s more pitiful than me?”

Meng Jian Zhi was still being ignorant, why is he b.u.t.ting in on my business?

Ignoring him, he continued using a louder voice, “Zhou Xiu Yun, you…..”

“Aaahhh…..”

One cry can be heard from the east side, interrupted Meng Jian Zhi’s weeping sound. One person was crying while rolling on the ground. His crying got even louder, as if he doesn’t want to live anymore.

“Tell me, why do I have such a cruel fate like this? I finally had a girlfriend after 38 years, it wasn’t easy to make her as my wife, but she was raped by someone, they even threw her into a sewage ditch…..”

“What are you talking about?” The man at the south began to talk, “My daughter was raped by her step father. Not only did he rape her, he killed her too, cut her body into pieces, put them inside a plastic bags, then piled them up outside our house! My heart…. It really hurts, so much that I just want to die!!”

This man is more clever, he suddenly fell down to the ground, his whole body convulsed, then he pa.s.sed out.

The huge crowd surrounding them who has been watching them, suddenly clapped their hands, while cheering for those people. Some people even threw coins onto the ground. Meng Jian Zhi stopped, because his experience is not pitiful enough, who would listen to him!

Meng Jian Zhi saw that those three seemed like they used to cry at the funerals, he gritted his teeth and then walked away.

Bai Luo Yin walked into the cla.s.s, Gu Hai had been there since earlier.

“Have you had breakfast yet?” Bai Luo Yin asked.

Gu Hai just replied him coldly with an “ng”.

Bai Luo Yin found out that something was wrong with Gu Hai, but You Qi called him before he could ask Gu Hai.

“What happened to that thing?”

Bai Luo Yin patted You Qi’s shoulder, “It’s not a success yet, we still need to try harder, my comrade.”

You Qi let out a handsome smile, “You’re the best at making a story, I just did a bit cursing!”

“Thank you!” Bai Luo Yin replied casually.

You Qi waved his hand, “Why are we still talking about these things?”

Gu Hai just stared at those two who were sharing their achievement yesterday without any expression.

He didn’t ask anything, he seemed completely unconcerned.

…….

After Meng Jian Zhi lost earlier, he went to collect some soft drink bottles and sold them for around 10 yuan. After that he went to a printing shop.

“Help me to print something. I can’t type, so I will say something, and you type it for me, can you?”

The typist inside the shop replied him politely, “Of course I can.”

“My wife’s name is Zhou Xiu Yun. She ran away with another man, that man’s name is Bai Han Qi. They’re living at….”

Meng Jian Zhi was in the middle of speaking, when the typist suddenly stopped.

She turned her head around. She looked at Meng Jian Zhi, couldn’t believe her eyes.

“Are you Meng Jian Zhi?”

Meng Jian Zhi was dumbfounded, “Why do you know my name?”

The typist who was polite just now suddenly became angry, she lifted the stool and suddenly beat Meng Jian Zhi with it while yelling at him, “You still have face to come to my shop? This b.a.s.t.a.r.d! This sc.u.m! I, on behalf of many other internet users, shall eliminate you!!”

Meng Jian Zhi tried to escape by rolling and crawling out of the printing shop.

At the afternoon, it was unusually crowded, the alley was filled with so many news media’s cars.

“Auntie, h.e.l.lo. I’m a reporter from Beijing Evening News, I just want to ask something. Do you know this person called Zhou Xiu Yun?”

“Xiao Zhou ah! How can we don’t know her? All of us elderly people here always go to her restaurant to have breakfast, she’s a good person!”

“Then I’m asking you, you knew her for a long time, have you ever seen her husband coming here to see her? Or have you ever heard her husband sent some money to her for their living expenses?”

“No! I knew Xiao Zhou for more than two years, I didn’t even know that she had a husband! I found it difficult to ask her, she’s raising her kid on her own, it must be hard for her.”

Fang Fei has been going around while dragging her TV station crews for the whole afternoon, finally when she caught the culprit, she was really excited. She pulled the arm of the crew who was in charge of filming, and said, “Quick, shoot him! He’s over there!”

Meng Jian Zhi saw that four or five person suddenly ran towards him, with all of their camera lenses aimed at him. He felt pleased. Well this way is also fine, I dont need to use that cheap loudspeaker, I will put all of you on the television right now! Let’s see if you still dare to go against me! He picked a brick fragments on the ground, then he began to write on a white wall. His writing was really eye catching, so explicit and vulgar.

….

After school, Bai Luo Yin tidied his schoolbag, then he naturally turned his head around.

“Today you….”

“My brother wants me to go home.” Gu Hai interrupted Bai Luo Yin’s words.

Bai Luo Yin wanted to say something, but Gu Hai carried his bag and walked out from the back door already, his back was stiff and cold.
