Chapter 665 Evil Thoughts
Chapter 665 Evil Thoughts
In desperation, he could only live on the streets and lead a life of wandering and begging. At first, he couldn't bring himself to beg from passers-by. He just found a corner on the street and looked at passers-by eagerly, hoping that someone would take the initiative to give him some money or food. But at the end of the day, he had nothing and was hungry. Seeing those beggars skillfully asking passers-by for money, he finally put down his so-called dignity and began to learn from them and stretched out his hand. "Please be kind and give me something to eat." Xu Damao pleaded hoarsely to a passing lady. The lady looked at him, frowned, took out a steamed bun from her pocket and handed it to him. Xu Damao was overjoyed and ate it up voraciously. During his wandering days, Xu Damao experienced the warmth and coldness of the world. Sometimes, he would meet some kind passers-by who gave him some change or food; but more often, he was met with cold eyes and ruthless rejection. In order to eat a bite of food, he had to compete with other beggars. One day, Xu Damao found a piece of bread that someone had discarded on the street. He just reached out to pick it up, but another beggar got there first. "I saw it first!" Xu Damao shouted. The beggar glared at him and said, "Whoever picks it up will own it. If you can, take it!" Xu Damao was not willing to give up, so he rushed up and wrestled with the beggar. The two rolled on the ground, attracting the attention of passers-by. In the end, Xu Damao grabbed the bread with his brute force. He sat on the ground, gasping for breath, looking at the dirty bread in his hand, his heart full of sadness. As time went by, Xu Damao's life became more and more difficult. In the cold winter, he was wearing thin clothes, curled up under the bridge, shivering with cold. He had already spent all his money, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to get food. Driven by extreme hunger and despair, Xu Damao had an evil idea in his mind - stealing. At first, he just stole some food from the stalls in the market when no one was paying attention. Once, he stole apples from a fruit stall, and just as he turned around to run, he was discovered by the stall owner. The stall owner shouted and chased him, and Xu Damao fled desperately, dodging left and right in the crowd. In the end, he was caught by the stall owner, beaten severely, and the apples were taken back. But Xu Damao did not stop because of this, but became more and more daring. Late one night, he targeted a family that seemed to be well-off. This family lived in a quiet alley, and the gate of the yard was closed. Xu Damao went around to the back of the yard and found that there was a window that was not locked. He climbed up to the window carefully, gently pushed it open, and then climbed into the house. The house was dark, and Xu Damao groped forward, trying to find something valuable. He found some cash and a few pieces of jewelry in the drawer, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly heard footsteps. It turned out that the owner of the house got up at night and heard the movement in the house. The owner turned on the light and saw Xu Damao, shouting, "Catch the thief!" Xu Damao panicked and tried to escape through the window, but was caught by the owner. The two wrestled with each other, and Xu Damao struggled desperately, but the owner held him tightly. Soon, the neighbors around heard the shouting and came to help. Everyone worked together to subdue Xu Damao and called the police. When the police arrived, they took Xu Damao back to the police station. In the police station, Xu Damao lowered his head and looked depressed. He knew that he had made an unforgivable mistake and that he would be punished by law. The police interrogated him, and Xu Damao confessed his crime in detail. While waiting for the trial, Xu Damao recalled his every bit in the courtyard, and his heart was full of regret. He regretted what he had done and regretted that he did not cherish the life he once had. He thought of the neighbors in the courtyard. Although everyone had many dissatisfactions with him, they also lent a hand when he was in trouble. But now, he has fallen into such a situation. In the end, Xu Damao was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment for theft. In prison, he began to reflect on his life, worked hard to reform, and hoped to be a new man. A few years later, Xu Damao was released from prison. He walked out of the prison gate and looked at the outside world, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that his life had been completely changed, but he was determined to turn over a new leaf. Xu Damao returned to Beijing. Instead of returning to the courtyard, he rented a simple house on the outskirts of the city. He found a physical job, which was hard, but he did it very seriously. He was no longer as ambitious as before, but lived a down-to-earth life. He began to get along with the neighbors around him in a friendly manner and was willing to help others. Gradually, he won everyone's respect and trust. Many years later, when Xu Damao recalled his miserable experience, there was no resentment or unwillingness in his heart. He understood that there is no shortcut on the road of life, and only through his own efforts and dedication can he live a truly stable and happy life. The setbacks and hardships he had experienced in the past have become the most precious wealth in his life, always reminding him to cherish the present and not repeat the same mistakes.
Banggeng's chaotic years and self-redemption
The day Banggeng was kicked out of school, the sun was so bright that he felt uneasy. He carried his ragged schoolbag with a few wrinkled textbooks in it, and walked out of the school gate step by step with his head drooped. The security guard looked at his back, shook his head helplessly, and muttered in a low voice: "How did this kid end up like this?" After returning to the courtyard, Banggeng went straight into his house and slammed the door shut. Qin Huairu was washing clothes in the yard. When she heard the noise, her heart skipped a beat. She had already learned from the school teacher that Banggeng had been expelled, and she was full of anxiety and helplessness. She put down the clothes in her hands, came to Banggeng's door, and knocked softly: "Banggeng, open the door, mom wants to talk to you." There was a dead silence in the room. After a long time, Banggeng's muffled response came: "Don't bother me!" Qin Huairu sighed and could only give up for the time being. In the following days, Banggeng completely indulged himself. Every morning, when the sun was already shining on his butt, he was still sleeping soundly in bed. Qin Huairu called him to get up, but he either pretended not to hear her or yelled back impatiently. When he finally got up, he was too lazy to wash up, so he just put on some clothes and staggered out of the courtyard. As soon as he walked out of the alley, Banggeng met a few young men who were doing nothing like him. One of them, a guy with dyed yellow hair, whistled and shouted, "Hey, isn't this Banggeng? I heard that you were expelled from school?" Banggeng rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "It's none of your business!" The yellow-haired guy was not angry either, but came over with a smile and said, "Don't be so angry. It's just right. We are worried that we have no one to play with. If you hang out with us, I guarantee you will have fun every day." Banggeng hesitated for a moment, but finally followed them.
