Those who do not work will not get it, and those who help themselves will be helped by God.
Nothing is free in this world.
If you want to get something, you have to work hard for it. The person who smiles in the end must be a hard-working and enterprising person!
These are the beliefs that Ayazaki Sa has always adhered to. It is precisely because of believing in these words that he can live bravely until now. But today, even these remaining beliefs that support his survival have been shattered.
"Xiao Sa, I leave this to you!
Please work hard to pay off our debt! "
At dusk, in an empty home, what was left for Ayazaki Sa, who came to settle accounts with his parents, was a letter and an IOU. What he wanted to recover from his parents was the salary he had spent working hard for more than half a month at the express delivery company. I got three coins, one ten yen and two one yen, for a total of twelve yen.
What can you do with twelve yen in Tokyo in 2020? Twelve yen can't do anything! It’s not enough to pay the rent, not enough to cover next month’s living expenses, not even enough to buy an octopus ball. And this was originally the money Ayazaki Sa used to prepare for the New Year!
Of course, the salary he earned from his hard work at the express delivery company this month cannot be only 12 yen, but as much as 170,000 yen. This is even if he has not worked for a full month and is working part-time, otherwise it would be more , after all, he is the ace of their express delivery company, known as the "fastest" bicycle courier in the industry!
Oh, by the way, we can no longer call them "their courier company" because he has been fired by the courier company because he lied about his age. At only fifteen years old, he cannot do such heavy physical work as bicycle courier. This is It was illegal, and the people who reported him were his parents. In order to withdraw his salary before he received it, his parents betrayed their son without any hesitation and reported their son to the company. While raising wages from the express delivery company, his son also lost the job that brought him the most money.
The 170,000 yen they took away, like any money in their hands, evaporated from their hands at an extremely fast speed. This time it seemed to have entered a slot machine. At other times, small steel balls, Lottery tickets, scratch-off tickets... are spent on these gold-eating beasts that also have the nature of gambling.
The money for the New Year is gone, which is enough to make Ayazaki Sa despair, but what makes Ayazaki Sa even more desperate is the IOU left by her parents.
"One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand... one hundred and fifty-six million, eight hundred and four thousand yen! How can I pay back so much money! Even if I sell it, I won't have that much!"
Ayazaki Sa screamed after seeing the amount of the IOU.
And when he saw that the letter in the same envelope as the IOU also contained a price list of various parts of the human body, he screamed even louder: "You are really planning to sell me, you bastard parents." ! And it’s in batches!”
Before Ayazaki Sa could vent more emotions, a rude knock on the door sounded outside the rental house, followed by shouts and the sound of "Ayazaki Shun pay back the money". The cheap door of the rental house seemed to be closed very quickly. To be broken open by violence.
"In order to make up for it, we borrowed money from friendly people, but we lost it all quickly. As an apology, we gave Xiao Sa as a gift to them. Anyway, today happens to be Christmas! (laughing expression)"
Ayazaki Sa thought of the paragraph at the end of the letter.
Is this the so-called "kind person"? It seems that they are not only kind, but also very enthusiastic!
Without thinking, Ayazaki Sa put the IOU and twelve yen, his only property, in his pocket, and jumped out of the window.
Jumping from the second floor, Ayazaki Sa's movements were neat, his center of gravity was stable, and he was as skilled as if he had practiced it countless times.
Without any pause, Ayazaki Sa Yazi ran very fast. Those "kind people" who knocked open the door only had time to see Ayazaki Sa's retreating back from the window after entering the rental house.
"This kid is running so fast! Everyone, hurry up and chase him!"
In Japan, Sa means whirlwind or strong wind. Ayazaki Sa was named "Sa" because his father hoped that he could run as fast as a whirlwind so that his creditors could never catch up. Obviously, Ayazaki Sa He fulfilled his father's expectations, even though Ayazaki Sa himself didn't want it at all!
Asshole parents, where the hell have you gone? And how on earth did you borrow such a huge sum of 150 million! Have you...really abandoned me completely?
Ayazaki Sa screamed in his heart as he ran, but he knew that he would not know the answer. His parents should have disappeared long ago. Before he paid off the debt, they would never appear in his presence. Ayazaki Sa knew that he would never be able to pay off the huge debt of 150 million yen in front of him. No, his life would be over today!
Ayazaki Sa, who ran from dusk to dusk and ran to an unknown park, leaned on a street light pole and panted slightly. Even he was a little tired after running non-stop for so long.
But what was more exhausted than his body was his mind.
150 million, how should I repay this! If you are caught by those "friendly people", you may really have to sell your organs!
"Damn, damn, damn, damn! God, why are you doing this to me! Is it wrong to live seriously and hard? Can only those despicable and shameless people become rich? Damn, damn, damn, damn it!"
He punched the street light pole with his fist, and the light pole, which was as thick as his calf, kept shaking. Ayazaki Sa did not know martial arts, so he punched the iron light pole with his flesh and blood body. Of course, it was his fist that was injured in the end, but How can physical pain compare to mental pain...
"Xiaoya, you are right again. My parents are really hopeless..."
Ayazaki Sa leaned against the lamppost weakly, looking up at the starless sky. The snowflakes falling on his face quickly melted, like tears.
She worked hard to live a serious life, but was abandoned by her parents. She had no money except 12 yen, and all she had was a debt of 150 million. This made Ayazaki Sa even want to embark on a criminal path. impulse.
"It turns out that in this world, only cunning people become winners. The protagonist of the cartoon "Dragon and the Loyal Dog" was a good person all his life, but he died in the end!"
Another punch hit the street lamp pole, causing it to shake violently and even the lights flickering on and off. Ayazaki Sa decided to go dark and become a bad guy!
After all, he has always lived an upright life, but now he has to face the desperate situation of being hungry, cold, and debt collectors. But if he becomes a bad guy and can have a lot of fish and meat, and even if he is caught and imprisoned, he can still have pork chops and rice, so why bother? What about being a good person? Let’s be the bad guy!
"Snapped!"
A slap hit Ayazaki Sa's face, and the person who slapped him was himself.
You clearly despise your parents who are always cheating and not doing their jobs properly, but now you want to become like them, Ayazaki Sa, you worthless thing!
After suppressing the evil thoughts that arose in his heart, Ayazaki Sa had to start thinking about the future path.
He can't stay in Tokyo any longer. He must leave Tokyo, otherwise he will be found by those "kind people" sooner or later. He still has to live, at least until he can see Xiaoya again and say sorry to her.
But after leaving Tokyo, where can he go? He grew up in Tokyo and has never left this city. The world outside this city is unfamiliar to him.
And even if he leaves Tokyo, those "friendly people" will definitely not let him go. One hundred and fifty million is a huge sum of money at any time, not to mention the current economic downturn. He is not well-off, and he will definitely not let go of his "gift package of human organs" worth 150 million.
By the way, let’s go to Osaka!
Ayazaki had a flash of inspiration. If there is any place in Japan that is restricted to those "friendly people", it is only Kansai. Osaka is the heart of Kansai and the second largest city in Japan. It is also the third largest city in Japan. Where the headquarters is located, the Osaka Police Headquarters has been rated as the "Best Police Organization in Japan" for ten consecutive years. Osaka has also been evaluated as the "safest city in Japan". Ayazaki Sa believes that no "friendly person" would dare to go there. Collection in Osaka.
However, if I am unfamiliar with Osaka and don’t know anyone, can I really survive there?
Ayazaki Sa was a little worried. Of course he would have such concerns about a completely unfamiliar place that he had never been to. Speaking of which, he only had three impressions of Osaka, the Sanji Sect, the Kansai Harmony Star, and no others. , can be said to be completely unfamiliar.
Ayazaki Sa wasn't too worried about how to get to Osaka. He knew that the road led to Osaka, so he just had to keep running along the road.
Ayazaki Sa remembered that the distance between Tokyo and Osaka was about five hundred kilometers. He was very confident in his physical strength and should be able to run there in one day. Unfortunately, the bicycle he was riding belonged to a courier company. After he was fired by the courier company, he It was returned to the courier company, otherwise it would only take two or three hours to get there on a bicycle.
Speaking of Osaka...
Ayazaki Sa suddenly remembered a strange person he met during this summer vacation. That person gave him a phone number. That number seemed to be from Osaka.
"If you change your mind, or if you encounter any difficulties, you can make this call. Don't lose it."
That's what the strange person said to him before, and the note with the phone number...
Ayazaki Sa touched her body and found it in her trouser pocket.
Because of poverty, Ayazaki Sa only wears two pairs of pants all year round, rotating them. The pair she wore today happened to be the one she wore when she met that strange person before, and the note with the phone number was put away. In the pocket of these pants.
At that time, because she was busy with her part-time job, Ayazaki Sa only took one look at it and put it in her trouser pocket, and then forgot to take it out.
This set of trousers had been washed several times before, so the note in the trouser pocket was a little tattered, but the phone number on it was still barely legible.
Do you want to give it a try?
Ayazaki Sa hesitated.
To be honest, he was a little unsure whether that strange person was a liar. After all, "Martial Arts Wizard Scam" ranked second among the "Top Ten Common Scams in Japan". He really couldn't believe that he was some kind of martial arts wizard. How could such a rare talent have anything to do with the child of a thief and liar? He was just an ordinary person who could pedal a bicycle at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour. He was injured and bled during the day and recovered as before after sleeping at night. How could it be possible? What a unique martial arts prodigy.
But based on his intuition, which he developed after being deceived by his father since childhood, he felt that the strange man was not a liar...
But to say that my intuition is accurate, I won’t be deceived by my father so many times...
His thoughts were swaying from side to side, and Ayazaki Sa was very confused about whether he should make this call or not.
Forget it, let’s fight, since I have nothing to lose anyway!
The debt of 150 million yen made Ayazaki Sa fearless. He took out 83% of his remaining property - 10 yen, and reluctantly threw it into a phone booth in the park. , and then made the phone call that changed his destiny.
"Moses, Moses, may I ask..."
After the call was connected, Ayazaki Sa's first sentence was stuck because he didn't know who was on the other side.
At this moment, a very gentle voice came from the other end of the phone. This voice seemed to have magic power, and it also conveyed incomparable warmth on the cold Christmas snowy night: "It's an unfamiliar number. Can you tell me your number?" Name, and how did you know this number? I have only told a few people this number. If you know this number, it means you have a close relationship with me. Tell me, what do you want from me? "
"I...my name is Ayazaki Sa, and I am..."
Ayazaki Sa was absent-minded for a while, and actually told the person on the phone about her encounter with the strange man and the dilemma she was facing without any concealment. After speaking, even Ayazaki Sa herself was surprised. .
Ayazaki Sa, who grew up being deceived by his father since childhood, is not a person who easily trusts others, and his own experience is not glorious. There is no way that he can casually tell these things to a person who has never met him and does not know the details. people.
"Is that so..." The voice on the other end of the phone became serious, and he said to Ayazaki Sa, "Xiao Sa... ah, I'm sorry, can I call you that?"
"Hey, feel free!"
"Xiao Sa, thank you for your hard work and persistence in living a life of integrity. You are an amazing person!"
Me, am I an amazing person?
When Ayazaki Sa heard the voice on the phone, tears suddenly flowed down uncontrollably.
Strange people, poor people, children of thieves and liars...
Ever since he was young, the only people around him have been this kind of strongly derogatory name. Never... No one has ever told me that he is a great person, and no one has ever affirmed his persistence. It seems that everyone Everyone thinks that poverty is his own fault and that having parents like that is what he asked for.
He also wants to live like other ordinary children, but he has no choice, he has no choice! With parents like that, all his efforts can always be easily overturned by them, and now, they have even sold themselves!
Who can tell him what he can do to escape this fate? How to do it?
He is never poor because he doesn't work hard, nor is he "poor-minded", but because he has a pair of parents who always suck up all his efforts!
But no one else will consider these. Just as the boss of the express company who fired him today said, "How could there be such parents?" Isn't it because of such parents that he ran away at this age? Do you want to do a job that requires heavy physical labor like bicycle delivery? But why doesn't anyone understand him?
Tears fell, and Ayazaki Sa covered her mouth hard to prevent her choking sounds from reaching the phone.
The words "Thank you for your hard work, you are a great person" made Ayazaki Sa feel that the suffering and grievances she had suffered over the years were nothing.
