I Have a City in a Different World

The sky is scorching hot, burning the creatures on the dry land.

Hosseini got up from the battered adobe bed and glanced at the sky outside through a window hung with pieces of broken glass.

It hasn't rained for a long time, the land is very dry, and the nearby well is already dry. Even if you grab the soil at the bottom of the well, you can't feel any moisture.

If it goes on like this, I am afraid that people will really die!

Since childhood, Hosseini has become accustomed to death. From the time he can remember, he and the people around him have been struggling to survive. Many acquaintances and childhood playmates have died one after another in the process of growing up.

In a place like this, death may have become a relief.

Although life is full of hardships, life still has to go on. As long as he does not die one day, Hosseini will struggle to support his family.

He has a wife and three children, and the little ones, like him, run around in old clothes, and he and his wife worry about filling their stomachs all day.

Fortunately, most people in the village are like this. In comparison, Hussaini feels that life is not so hard.

Everything is afraid of comparison. In such an environment insulated from prosperity and impetuousness, people can't see hope, so they won't have so many selfish thoughts, and their minds will be much purer.

The only thought in the hearts of the men around him like Hosseini is to make life better and stop fighting.

Putting on the crumpled clothes, Hussaini walked out of the room. The harsh sunlight narrowed his eyes slightly. He lowered his head subconsciously, and glanced at the adobe wall not far away from the corner of his eyes.

Several men with ragged clothes and a little stooped figure were gathered together, talking in a low voice.

After seeing Hosseini coming, they simply said hello and chatted together.

Recently, a new mine was built not far away to collect the kind of colored stones that Asian League people like very much. Hussaini and these men are going to ask to see if they still recruit miners.

Although the mining work is dangerous and hard, and the special smell of the cut stone can almost choke people, it can provide Hussaini and the others with a salary that can fill their stomachs.

They are not afraid of being bitter, tired, or Hussaini, because they have always depended on their efforts to make money, and they are forced by life, and they have no choice.

The only thing that worries them is that the mines don't recruit people, so they will have no money to live, and their families and children will starve.

Two more thin young men came, and everyone had already arrived, and Hussaini and the others were about to walk to the mine.

Just when everyone just walked to the entrance of the village, several cars suddenly drove into the village. When the cars stopped, several men with rifles jumped out of the cars.

In addition to these men, there were also several men and women from the Asian League. They glanced at Hussaini and the others and walked over directly.

Hosseini looked at these people coldly, and glanced at the rifles in the hands of the guards. His eyes were vaguely nostalgic, and there was a hint of pain, and then it was replaced by numbness.

"Hello, we are the staff of the Shenglong Group and want to come here to recruit workers. Where are the elders in the village?"

An Asian League man in casual clothes asked, but his eyes were swept over everyone's hands, with a smile on his face.

The translator next to him said something to Hussaini and others. After getting the answer, he told the young man again.

"By the way, where are you going, do you want a good job?"

After the young man learned the address of the elder, he did not leave in a hurry, but asked Hussaini and others casually.

Hussaini and the others, who were about to find a job, were taken aback for a while, looked at each other, and then he asked, "What kind of work and how much money can you give?"

"The salary is high, so high that you can't imagine, but you need to go far and you can't go home for a long time!"

The young man said lightly,

Then he stared at Hussaini and the others.

"Can you tell me what the job is and how much it pays, if you don't make it clear, the boys in our village will not come with you!

Of course, if you give enough money, we can do whatever you want! "

The old man next to Hussaini said suddenly, and he looked at the young man, his wrinkled face with a hint of clarity.

Maybe he has already seen the intention of the youth and others, so he will say such a sentence.

"One-time payment of 150,000 US dollars, but a contract must be signed, and the place of work is not here, but Loucheng World!"

The young man gave the answer, looked at the old man and added: "We don't just want young people, if someone like you has carried a gun all his life, we will also admit it!"

The old man frowned slightly when he heard the words, looked at the young man and asked again: "Is this money for life, it's really a lot, and where is Loucheng World?"

The young man shook his head when he heard the words: "It's not the life-saving money, it's just the prepaid salary. As for where the Loucheng World is, you can inquire about it, because many people now know that place.

If you think about it, go to the town in front of you for an interview. Once you pass, you will be given a sum of money on the spot! "

After saying this, the youth of the Asian League stopped looking for the elders in the village, but jumped into the car and went straight to the next village.

Hussaini and others looked at the convoy that disappeared in the dust, and turned to look at the old man, as if they wanted to hear his opinion.

The old man has fought all his life, and being able to survive the hail of bullets can definitely be regarded as an old fox who has become a fine.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the old man sighed: "Since this person has taken a fancy to our ability to fight, he must be in that Loucheng world, and he will inevitably continue to fight.

But the one-time payment of 150,000 yuan is worth it. At least it can help the family live a good life without having to go hungry.

Old man, I'm going to have a look. As for what you guys think, I don't care. "

After saying this, the old man turned his head and went back to his home, not going to the mine to ask about work.

I didn't expect my old life to be worth so much money. If so, why would I hesitate to die!

Hussaini and the others looked at each other, no one spoke, but everyone had a look of eagerness on their faces.

150,000 US dollars, for the people of Hosseini and his country, this is simply an astronomical sum!

Back at his home, his wife was picking up wild vegetables on the ground and mixing it into a kind of rough grain, which is today's food.

After seeing Hussaini's figure, his wife's eyes flashed with disappointment, and then she kept her head down silently and continued to work.

My husband just went out not long ago, and now he is back home again. Obviously, there is no hope for work.

Thinking that the children will continue to starve in the next days, his wife's eyes dimmed, and tears silently ran down her rough cheeks.

Several of Hosseini's children ran past the door, their tattered clothes covered with dust. They lay barefoot at the door, glanced at the food made by his wife, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Children are very hungry, and they are not full, so even if they see those rough foods, they still drool.

Hosseini watched the scene in front of him silently, feeling that his chest was congested, he took a few breaths desperately, and then squatted beside his wife.

The wife looked up at Hosseini in amazement, because she felt that her husband's behavior was a little strange today.

"Just now, there was a Shenglong Group that wanted to recruit people. Once admitted, they would give 150,000 US dollars, but they just went to work in a far away place and couldn't come back for a long time.

I want to try it out, and if I get accepted, the kids don't have to go hungry. "

After saying this, Hussaini turned his head and walked out of the house, facing the scorching sun, and walked straight to the town more than ten kilometers away. !
