There is a bridge near the Cangzhou garbage dump. The river under the bridge is deep enough to drown a rich man. A rich man once slipped and fell from here. Many people came to rescue him immediately, but only a hat was recovered.
The river flows to the sea. What does a rich man mean?
On July 31, 2000, a woman jumped off a bridge with a baby in her arms.
The woman's name is Jin Zhu and she is a prostitute.
There is a row of messy houses on the river embankment. The houses are made of plywood and asbestos tiles. In the parlance of the upper class, they are called slums. The most dilapidated and shabby house among them is Jin Zhu's home.
In spring, the grass grows under her table; in summer, the rain flows under her bed; in autumn, the fallen leaves are so beautiful; in winter, don't write about winter, it only brings coldness to some people.
Two poor people talked about winter like this:
"Last winter, it was so cold. My hands were frozen, my feet were frozen, and my ears were frozen."
"Yeah, my hands are frozen, my feet are frozen, but my ears are not frozen."
"Do you have a hat?"
"I have no ears!"
It's not you who is squatting and shivering in the corner, so you can't feel the cold.
The people living in the dilapidated houses on the river bank also have their own lives, their own pots and jars, and their occupation is to pick up garbage. Hexi is a garbage dump, and Hedong is a waste recycling station.
They picked up some things from the west of the river and sold them to the east of the river, just to sustain their lives.
They get up earlier than the wild dogs in the city and walk through the streets at dawn. They are disheveled, holding iron hooks in their hands and empty, patched bags under their arms. When they see a trash can, they rummage through it.
Picking up trash also requires experience. An old man said to a novice: "Yazi, let me tell you, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the National Taxation Bureau, the Family Planning Commission, the Public Security Bureau, the Admissions Office, the Hospital, the City Credit Union, the County Party Committee Hotel, and the Transportation Bureau, these places have the fattest trash cans! "
There was a stone in the Jinsha River called "Na Gong". A boatman picked up a shell on it and there was a big pearl in the shell. There is a trash can in the southwest corner of the family yard of Cangzhou Tobacco Company. A lucky guy once picked up a carton of cigarettes. After opening it, he found stacks of hundred-yuan bills inside.
Garbage pickers sometimes also collect rags. We often hear people shouting in the alley:
"The bottle collector is here again!"
"Who sells scrap metal?"
"Who sells scrap books and newspapers!"
"The bottle collector is here again!"
"Who sells cardboard boxes!"
"Who sells cans!"
"The bottle collector is here again!"
Are they poor?
No, the bin is their treasure!
They have been lucky enough to pick up things that you and I have thrown away.
Are they human?
maybe.
Looking at those men, women and children climbing up the garbage mountain with iron hooks, one can only say that they are reptiles.
Where is their home?
On the embankment.
All kinds of suffering are neighbors. A widow who was abandoned by her family, a farmer who lost his land, a family who gave birth to six daughters, a lonely old man with no children, a homeless wanderer, a gambler who became destitute, The mute who had hands but no job, the charlatan who had reformed his evil ways... They gathered together to form a temporary village, and they could find no other work except picking up garbage.
Criminals often hide in such lairs. The man without ears mentioned above is the thief Zhu Tongjia who killed a family of four and has been on the run for many years.
After Zhu Tongjia was arrested, he revealed one person: Boss Che. The car owner runs a hotel under the bridge, which doubles as a restaurant. It also provides gasoline for passing drivers hauling scrap.
The police suspected that the owner of the car was related to several cases, but no evidence was ever found. Garbage pickers often talk among themselves:
"Boss Che knows people in the underworld."
"Che boss's wife is missing."
"There are prostitutes at the car owner's place."
On a certain day of a certain year and month, a flower blooms; on a certain day of a certain month and year, a flower falls.
I can't remember when a woman walked into Boss Che's hotel. That night, she was a virgin for the first half of the night and a prostitute for the second half of the night.
The next day, Boss Che hung a sign at the door of the store that read "There is an elegant room inside."
Business has been booming ever since!
That woman is Jinzhu. There is a gap between rich and poor when people are born. Jinzhu was born in a small mountain village called Jintai. A long time ago, there were gold mines there, but now there are only stones. Jin Zhu had a very vague impression of her mother. She only remembered her mother's livid face, gnashing her teeth, and stamping her feet, wishing she could smash the earth to pieces. Her father was very kind to her, buying her sesame seed cakes and headbands.
When Jinzhu was 10 years old, her father said to her by the well at the entrance of the village: "Ni, I'll be back soon."
Since then, there has been no news from him, and he has been gone for many years.
It wasn't until she was 18 years old, after her mother passed away, that someone told her: "Jinzhu, your father may be dead too."
Jinzhu was abducted and sold to Cangzhou by her neighbors.
Apart from prostitution, is there any other way for her? If so, it is death.
She had resisted and tried to escape. Her left eye is more affectionate than her right eye, because her right eye was blinded by the car boss. This does not affect her beauty. Which woman is not an angel?
She had been young, had fantasized, and had flown with wings.
She tolerated everything, gave up everything, lost everything, and began to let fate dictate. One night, she spit out the window viciously and said, "Forget being a bad woman!"
From then on, Jin Zhu was no longer afraid of anything. It didn't matter who was gentle to her or rough to her, who showed mercy to her or who despised her.
Jinzhu gradually realized the joy of being a bad woman, showing off all kinds of ugliness. At night, her buttocks rippled like lotus leaves.
When there are no customers, the car owner tortures her. One day, she asked the car owner: "Where is your wife?"
The car boss patted his belly and said with a smile: "Here."
Jinzhu sometimes thinks of her father, and she can't forget her father's face when he left.
Sometimes, when she felt ashamed, she often thought that if her father found out in his grave that she had become a prostitute, he would definitely die again.
Virtue is a well-organized box that contains evil thoughts. The old bachelors and young people who lived nearby who picked up garbage also shamelessly came to Jinzhu and bargained with her: "You are asking too much, my daughter, we are also neighbors, take care of you, it's cheaper. The garbage pickers It's not easy to change two coins. It comes and goes in the wind and rain, as you know..."
Jin Zhu learned to lie. She teased the man until he was horny, then pouted and said, "Not today, I'm on my period."
She knows how to seduce and then leave to find a more favorable position to increase her worth. She is so cold and beautiful, as if she is wearing a flower crown and dragging her long skirt. Wherever she goes, there is danger. She made the men drink and get drunk, make them jealous and fight.
She is shining, but she cannot shine on her own staleness.
Some women who pick up garbage and kind-hearted sisters-in-law often advise Jinzhu: "Daughter, don't do this job. You won't be able to have a good body when you get old. Find a lover while you are young and live a happy life!"
She fell in love with a driver.
The young man whistled, closed the car door, and walked past her window. She saw his beard, his eyes, his shoulders and hands. Yes, some men just need to look at him to fall in love with him.
With love, there is heaven, even in hell and in difficult days. Love makes the earth rotate, the sun shines, and all things grow.
For her, the highest state of love is making love.
Jin Zhu said to Boss Che: "Tell that young man that I will go to his room at night."
Night is coming.
The smile is one goblin and the breasts are two goblins. She was naked from the waist up and stood shyly in front of the young man.
Our civilization is the thin skirt worn by prostitutes, and now that skirt has come off.
She closed her eyes.
In the room, one fly lay on top of another fly, making love while flying, reaching a climax in the air, and who heard their screams.
After the climax, Jinzhu lay like a cat in the young man's arms. She traced circles on his chest with her fingers.
"What's your name?" she asked.
"I asked you to come back next time, hehe."
After the young man finished speaking, he slapped a hundred-yuan bill on Jin Zhu's butt.
Jin Zhu's face immediately turned red, she pursed her lips and said, "I don't want your money."
A week later, the young man came again whistling. Jinzhu hid his driver's license in her bra. After making trouble for a while, Jinzhu said to the young man: "Take me away!"
The young man said: "This is not possible."
Two months later, Jin Zhu said to the young man: "You have to take me away. I won't come this month because I'm pregnant."
The young man said, "You can't rely on me. Who knows whose child you are pregnant with."
Jinzhu said: "It's your seed."
The young man said: "I don't care."
Jin Zhu said: "I will follow you in this life, and my belly is getting bigger."
The young man said: "You should have eaten enough!"
Jinzhu said: "Please."
The young man said: "You bitch."
Jinzhu said: "I...I love you."
The young man said: "Go away... I will beat you."
"我爱你"这三个字换来的是"我揍你". He is so bad and yet so good, Jin Zhu thought. She lay naked on the bed, waiting for the man she loved in the next room. The moonlight outside the window came in, but there was no knock on the door. In the middle of the night, Jinzhu heard the sound of the car engine starting. She immediately put on a blanket and rushed out, sitting down on the passenger seat of the cab.
"It's not that easy to run away, hum." Jin Zhu said to the young man.
"You go back and get dressed, and I will take you away." The young man said.
"I'm stupid. As soon as I got out of the car and put on my clothes, you were gone."
"Okay then." The young man said viciously. He stepped on the clutch, put it in gear, accelerator, and the car suddenly jumped onto the highway.
Early the next morning, a naked woman was walking on National Highway 127. She entered the city and immediately caused a commotion.
The morning sun shone on her butt, back, and heels. She covered her face, her long hair could not cover her breasts, her nipples were black with cold, her belly was flat, and under the black grass was the source of life.
We were born there too.
This is such a strange landscape between heaven and earth. A woman exudes a primal aura, walking in her own shadow in the early morning. People on the street were open-mouthed in astonishment.
All kinds of eyes shot at her like arrows, surprise, astonishment, lust, obscenity, contempt and pity. With their changing mentality, many onlookers also learned to question at that moment.
who is she?
She is a woman, which means she is our mother, sister and daughter.
This seems to be some kind of ritual. She walks in infinite time and infinite space. Every step he takes shocks people's hearts and the world.
Tears fell all the way, the wind started to rise, this promiscuous woman was spotless.
Jinzhu covered her face and walked across the city back to Boss Che's hotel. There was a clear shoe print on her butt and a vague child in her belly, all left by the young man. She loves him and doesn't even know his name. Jinzhu covered herself with a quilt and slept for two days and two nights. From then on, she stopped smiling, which meant she was no longer beautiful. When a woman is no longer beautiful, she goes from spring to winter. Jinzhu was completely depraved. She let him do it when she was given money, moaning loudly and without any scruples. Her net worth slowly dropped from 200 yuan to 20 yuan.
There were three cats, four dogs, five pigs and six sheep. After seven months, Jin Zhu gave birth to a premature baby.
After having children, Jinzhu's waist became thicker, her breasts drooped, her butt sank, and her figure became bloated. She has fewer and fewer customers, and the car owner hates her more and more. One day, the boss of the car said to Jinzhu, how can you be so good at eating, you are such a loser.
The next day, the car owner kicked her and her "little thing" out of the hotel.
Jin Zhu built a house on the river embankment and made a living by picking up garbage. She said to her neighbor, I want to raise my child, I want him to go to school, and I want him to become a high official. During the long rainy season of 1999, if someone stood on a bridge in the suburbs of Cangzhou with an umbrella, they would see a woman in a dilapidated house using a plastic basin to catch the rain that leaked into the house, and her child crying on the bed.
Jinzhu sometimes went to the hotel to engage in prostitution.
On the evening of July 30, 2000, it rained heavily. Five guests came to Boss Che's hotel. One of them was lying on a stretcher dying, and the other four were dressed in strange clothes.
They ordered a table of food and feasted. After they were full, a woman came. The woman was very fat. Prostitution was written on her face, unemployment was written on her hands, poverty was written on her left buttocks, and ignorance was written on her right. When she opened her mouth, she could see the hunger in her belly.
She is Jinzhu.
Jin Zhu sat down on a greasy stool and tore open a chicken leg unceremoniously: "Oh, I'm so greedy. I haven't had meat for a long time. There's no business."
A man with yellow teeth held Jinzhu in his arms, rubbed her breasts and said with a smile: "I'll let you eat enough this time."
This man is Qiu Ba. Sitting next to him are Zhou Xingxing, Tiezui, and Tu Laoye. Shan Ya is lying on the broken sofa in the corner.
Qiu Ba said: "Idle time is also idle, let's play a game. This game has a literary name called sitting in the arms without chaos, and the slang is called Dabo. It means letting a prostitute sit in the arms of the customer, teasing her in every possible way, who can be tough? Well, whoever is fined three drinks."
Games start.
Jinzhu's little mouth is oily and Jinzhu's thighs are plump.
She sat in Zhou Xingxing's arms, slowly wiggling her buttocks, her eyes misty and charming. Soon, she said: "Get hard, drink."
She sat in Tiezui's arms, swallowing the core of the snake, moving her body up and down, breathing lightly. After a while, she said: "Here, let's have a drink too!"
She sat in Tu Laoye's arms, slowly opened her shirt, and pressed Tu Laoye's hands on the two lotus flowers. She closed her eyes, looking very intoxicated. After a while, she smiled and said: "Old guy, almost killing me! "
After one round, only Qiu Ba was not hard. Jin Zhu hit Qiu Ba on the head with a chicken bone and said, "Tonight, I will sleep with you. The three of them are all bad guys."
Qiu Ba laughed.
"Why is there still a drunk person?" Jin Zhu saw Shan Ya lying in the corner. She stood up, gnawed on the chicken bones, walked over with her butt twisted, and said, "We can't let this one go."
As she walked, her steps slowed down and stopped.
Shan Ya half-opened his eyes and raised his right hand with great effort.
Tears welled up in his eyes.
Jinzhu grabbed her hair with both hands and stood there blankly. For a long time, she let out a heart-rending cry - Big!
Shan Ya is Jin Zhu's father!
One evening more than 20 years ago, Shan Ya said to his daughter at the entrance of the village called Jintai Village, I will be back soon.
More than 20 years later, he witnessed the sexual life of a prostitute, who was his daughter.
This dying man spoke very laboriously and intermittently. We really are not in the mood to truly describe the breathless last words, so we will reproduce them in full here. Before he died, he told Zhou Xingxing and Tu Laoye one thing: Go to Hong'an County, there is a mulberry forest in the west of the city, tie a red silk scarf to the thickest tree, and there is me under that tree. You give half of the buried things and some money to Jinzhu. The next day, you go to Xiaojing Hutong in the east of the city, which is the dead end. Someone will come up from the ground and he will take you to find Gao Fei.
We will never have a chance to talk about Che Boss again. About the day after Shan Ya's death, a woman wearing white mourning clothes entered the hotel in the middle of the night. When she came out, the car owner was lying naked on the bed with a big hole in his throat.
