Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 312 His Dream
Shi Fei looked at them and sighed.

They were just children, and they shouldn't be used as tools for the audience to vent their desires in this bloody cage. They waved their fists at each other, but their eyes were full of ferocity and pain, as if they had long forgotten what childhood was.

He raised his hand, his fingertips moved slightly, and an invisible force spread quietly.

The two boys were gritting their teeth and trying their best to beat each other. Suddenly, their movements stopped, their eyes became dazed, and their eyelids slowly closed, as if they were wrapped in a gentle force and entered a dream.

Jay Chou felt dazed, as if he had returned to the most familiar pier in his memory.

Ever since he could remember, the pier had been his life. The pier was big, and the wind was strong. There were fishermen, ships coming and going, and his dearest grandfather.

His grandfather is an old fisherman. His skin has turned red from the sea breeze carrying heavy metals and salt, and he looks much older than a normal old man.

Every day, Jay Chou goes to sell fish with his grandfather.

As for going to school? There is no such thing as going to school. The education in school is too happy, you can't learn anything at all, and you have to pay for lunch.

The lunch fee was too expensive, and his grandfather was too old to take out a lunch loan.

When my grandfather was young, he was a fisherman, but now that he is old, he can only be a fisherman who sells fish. He can only take the fish from the gang and then give the money to the gang.

The gang does not do charity. When Jaylen was a little older, his grandfather told him that 60% of the money earned from selling fish had to be given to the gang, 20% had to be paid as tax, and the remaining 20% was theirs.

Grandpa also said that in the past the gangs only asked them to pay 40%, but now they have to pay 60%.

Jay Chou knew that the "old gang" his grandfather mentioned was the gang his father, whom he had never met, belonged to.

His father never came back from a gang fight, and his mother also disappeared one day, leaving him and his grandfather to depend on each other.

Therefore, Jay Chou has been sensible since he was young. He wanted to help his grandfather share the burden, but he was too young and could only shout loudly until his voice became hoarse.

Perhaps because an old man selling fish with a child is more likely to arouse other people's sympathy, their business has always been good.

After deducting the money to be handed over, the remaining 20% was not only enough for their food, but also enough for grandpa to occasionally eat some "flour".

Jay Chou knows that "flour" is not good.

Every time he touched those things out of curiosity, his kind-looking grandfather would suddenly get angry, beat him up like a lion, and make him kneel on the ground and swear that he would never touch these things again in his life.

But Jaylen didn't understand why his grandfather couldn't live without them.

The fish on the dock today were fresh and plump, but Jaylen knew that his grandfather never ate fish and wouldn't let him eat it.

As for why?
Grandpa just said that these fish are so fat because they eat too much meat.

"Selling fish! Selling fish!" Jay Chou stood on the dock and shouted loudly as usual.

His voice was tender and hoarse, attracting a yellow-faced tourist. Jay Chou knew that such tourists were usually generous, and if he was a little sweet, they would buy more.

"Sir! Fresh fish! Only $3 a pound!" he said to Shi Fei enthusiastically.

"You are only eight or nine years old now!" Shi Fei said as he looked at the boy. This boy was the one in the octagonal cage just now.

He never imagined that the boy's dream was to sell fish with his grandfather on the dock, braving the sea breeze.

"Sir! I may be very young, but I am already a man." Jay Chou straightened his chest, a hint of pride in his tone.

In fact, he was only seven and a half years old. "Do you want fish? If you buy a three-pound fish, I can talk to grandpa and give you some oysters!" Jay pointed to a basin of oysters next to him and said, "I know you like this the most."

Oysters are raw oysters, known as men's gas station.

"Ha~" Shi Fei laughed. He thought Jay Chou was very interesting.

"Then how did you become a boxer?" Shi Fei said, touching his head.

"Fist?" Jaylen was stunned, and then, his eyes seemed to fast forward like a slide show. After a few years, his grandfather's health became worse and worse, and finally he died suddenly due to an overdose.

He became an orphan.

He was first sent to an orphanage by the community. At first, he thought it would be a safe haven, but soon he realized something was wrong.

Children were often taken away in the middle of the night and never came back. From what the adults in the orphanage said, they were adopted.

Until he accidentally discovered that the person who took the child away in the middle of the night was the one with the nightingale tattoo.

That was the dangerous place his grandfather had warned him not to get close to. If he was taken away by someone like that, he would never be able to come back.

He must escape!
Taking advantage of the orphanage's negligence, he encouraged other children to escape together. As for how many people successfully escaped in the end, he didn't know.

After escaping from the orphanage, Jaylen had no ability to survive and could only beg from others and receive relief food.

Soon, he was noticed by the gang.

An orphan like him was born to deliver flour. Even if he was caught, he would only be sent to the community's juvenile detention center, not to prison.

Plus, his father was also in a gang, so he was born to be a gang member.

The gang was pretty good to a teenager like him. Even with all the deductions, the money from the delivery was enough for him to have enough food. For a teenager with no one to rely on, this was not easy.

Shi Fei looked at Jay Chou in his dream. He was like a little adult at the age of ten. He carried a schoolbag and delivered goods in the streets as if he was going to school. He couldn't help but sigh again.

After that, Jay Chou's performance got better and better, and he was called "Little Donkey Jay Chou", and then he was arrested.

As expected, he was too young and was sent to a juvenile detention center in the community, where he met many people and expanded his network of contacts.

When he gets out, he is confident that he will achieve great success.

But fate did not give him a chance. His gang was swallowed up by the Gemini Gang, and he could no longer deliver goods.

The underground world of Goff City is divided into three major gangs, but there are still some new small gangs in some remote communities and industries without much profit.

Whenever these small gangs develop to a certain extent, they will be "forced" to become part of the three major gangs.

Jay knew that he couldn't join the Nightingale Gang, so he had no choice but to follow a big brother he met in the juvenile detention center and start doing underground boxing.

In this chaotic city, he can only survive by relying on his own fists, and survive with difficulty.

As for the other person, Qidi, that is another story.
