Become a one-time character in a comic

I asked a question: "Can you tell how old I am?"

Yu Xiaoan didn't understand why this question was asked. No matter how he thought about it, this question had nothing to do with opening the warehouse door. Although he didn't understand, Yu Xiaoan still answered it well.

Looking at the young man in front of her, his name sounds lively, but his eyes are like a pool of stagnant water. She has seen many eyes like this, but those are people who have worked for a long time, experienced too much in society, and have had a hard time in life but still cling to the hope of their own imagination to live. She herself almost became like this.

I just looked at her quietly, my eyes didn't wander, and I didn't look at anyone else.

Yu Xiaoan observed that his skin was rough and sallow, his face did not show fatigue but was full of haggardness, and his hands looked a little withered and old.

"You are in your thirties, right?"

The young man laughed at himself and said, "So I am this old in your eyes? I am twenty-one this year."

Everyone was surprised, except the driver, who showed no expression at all.

I pointed to the door behind me and said, "I can betray 'Lu' and open the door for you...but I have only one condition." I looked at Yu Xiaoan and asked sincerely, "Can you be a 'good friend'?"

Yu Xiaoan asked back, "Why are you so obsessed with me becoming that 'good friend'?"

The sun no longer shone on the young man, he was completely standing in the shadow, he spoke calmly about his past.

I originally lived in a happy family, an ideal family of three, but what destroys a family is always related to material things.

My father got addicted to gambling and lost all the family money. My mother broke down once, but my father promised that he would never gamble again.

So I lived a plain life, with simple meals, three meals a day, working from nine to six, one day off a week, and a monthly salary of three thousand.

Life is hard, but the ordinary life is also a little happy.

But later, my father went to gamble again. It turned out that on the day when my father received a month's salary, he heard that one of his co-workers won 30,000 yuan with 1,000 yuan.

This made Xiaosheng's father itchy, so he hid it from his family and said that he had lent that month's salary to a co-worker, but in fact he had used the money for gambling.

That time he won 70,000 yuan with 3,000 yuan.

Seventy thousand.

It was only 70,000 yuan for the young man’s family in the past, but it is 70,000 yuan for the young man’s family now.

On the day when he won 70,000 yuan, my father ran home happily. He didn't let my mother cook, and took me, who was doing my homework, out for a big meal.

Xiaosheng's mother asked Xiaosheng's father in surprise and reserve why he brought them out to eat so suddenly.

That day, I heard my father's promise to them. My father smiled proudly and said, "As long as I am here, I will definitely make the three of us live a good life."

I clearly remember how my father knelt in front of his mother and confessed his sins. I clearly remember how my mother stood there crying, helpless in the face of what had already happened. I clearly remember how I felt like I could do nothing and could only stand by and watch it all.

And that day, he saw his father regain his former self-confidence, and his mother returned to her previous happiness, and he no longer felt that he was too young.

But human greed is like a balloon; once it has been enlarged, it will never shrink again.

The young man's father, who won 70,000 yuan, felt that he could use 20,000 yuan of it to continue gambling. Anyway, there would still be 50,000 yuan left. As long as his luck was a little better this time, even if not as good as last time, it would be fine if 20,000 yuan could be turned into 30,000 yuan.

But in the end, twenty thousand became two hundred, and finally there was not even two hundred left.

He didn't believe it, so he took out another ten thousand to gamble. Anyway, he still had forty thousand left, but in the end he didn't have a penny left.

He didn't believe how bad his luck was. He had already spent 30,000 yuan, and if he spent another 10,000 yuan, he didn't ask to win hundreds of thousands, he just wanted to win back what he had lost before.

But those people were cunning. They sensed that Xiaosheng's father wanted to leave, and led him into the abyss step by step.

As a result, not only did my father fail to win money with the ten thousand, but he lost thirty million without realizing it.

Thirty million. When my father knew this number, his whole body became hot. He questioned how he could possibly lose thirty million.

But the weak and alone young father didn't know that he had walked into a trap set by the hunters. The hunters had already prepared records of every game, every transaction, and every operation was recorded in detail, and the odds were also written clearly.

It was so clear that when my father saw those records, he could recall every operation he made.

That day, the young man finished his homework very early. He sat in the living room watching TV and waiting for his father to come home.

That day, I saw that my father's hair, which had only a few strands of white hair in the morning, was now completely gray in the evening. I saw the familiar guilty panic on my father's face.

It was also on that day that Xiaosheng's mother completely broke down and left them.

Once again, I felt that I was too small and there was nothing I could do.

After that, my father drank all day, beat and insulted me. I became numb and ignored him completely.

Later, the debt collectors came to my house and threatened my father to pay back the money. That was the first time I saw my father's rogue and embarrassed side through the crack in the door. It was so pathetic.

Later on, the debt collectors found Xiaosheng’s mother. Xiaosheng once again saw his rogue and embarrassed father through the crack in the door, and he was really throwing a tantrum.

Those debt collectors are the ones that the casino owner is looking for after they are released from prison. These people don't have any jobs to do after they are released. Even if they are capable, they will not be given any work experience in the past. Therefore, the job given by the casino owner is as hard-earned as ascending to heaven for them.

The casino owner became impatient and asked them to immediately get back the 30 million that Xiaosheng's father had lost. Even if they couldn't get 30 million, they had to get back 300,000.

In order to keep their jobs and their families, those debt collectors forced Xiaosheng's mother to death step by step, thinking that it would be okay to be a little radical.

The debt collectors felt no guilt when they knew Xiaosheng's mother had died, because they only intimidated her, threatened her, and insulted her. How could they not accept that she committed suicide?

Those people thought that Xiaosheng’s mother’s death had nothing to do with them.

The debt collector continued to collect the debt. Xiaosheng's father broke one of his hands. He only dared to see a doctor but not to get treatment. He ran away from the hospital when the doctors and nurses were not paying attention.

Afterwards, he was caught by the group of debt collectors, and their broken hand was completely chopped off. The bloody knife, the arm that looked like a movie prop, the helpless and screaming father, and the cruel and ruthless debt collectors, all these elements formed a picture that was presented in front of me.

That day, the student had just started his summer vacation and he was only thirteen years old.
