Chapter 1
I actually wrote this matter last year, or understood it as having thought about it.
This story has something to do with the security guard.
Before telling this story, I want to express a meaning: There are many people in this world with special abilities, from the absolute number. However, based on the base of billions of people, the proportion is very small, so small that it is impossible to meet each other.
But in fact, things are just the opposite. People with special abilities often meet each other. Perhaps because special abilities will pay attention to various special events in the world at the same time, they will gather them together through this strange time. For example, several characters in the story of Brother Zhen were linked by a tiger talisman in the Fengshui Tomb Secret Path of Guixin. The important one among them is Lao Sha, but Lao Sha met me because of a coincidence when I was in the Three Gorges.
Everyone knows that I used to work as a security guard and worked in a shopping mall in Sanxia for three years. Most of the time I spent vigil on the unfinished building. At that time, I graduated from school and a major in chemical engineering. After entering society, I found that due to the huge changes in the social environment, I could not find a work unit that could accommodate me.
After doing nothing at home for a year, my family gave me two job choices: the first was to go to Sanxia and work as a security guard in a shopping mall;
The second option is to be an apprentice in car repair.
I chose the first one. The reason is very simple. I earn 400 yuan a month as a security guard, but I just need to eat when I repair a car and become an apprentice. Another reason is that I am a engineering student. I don’t want a car owner to ask me what my education is. Then I told him embarrassedly that I am a college student who studies engineering. Now I am fiddling with car parts, which will hurt my self-esteem... Being a security guard is far from my major, so I feel more at ease.
It turns out that I was short-sighted. At that time, another technical school student who was younger than me replaced my apprenticeship. Two years ago, I heard that his income from repairing cars in January was 7,000 yuan.
After I became a security guard, I wore blue security uniforms similar to police uniforms every day, carried a baton, and handcuffs - they were really handcuffs. At that time, the security industry had no regulations.
Security guards are a very boring job. When we are on the evening shift, we basically chat with two colleagues in the duty room for two hours, and patrol the entire building. Each person is responsible for half of the area, and check with a flashlight in the dark. Security guards live in the dark most of the time, facing environments that ordinary people ignore or even do not realize at all. There are many privacy and secrets in the eyes of ordinary people, which are all in the eyes of security guards.
Do you know why the proportion of security police committing crimes is increasing in criminal crimes? This is the reason, because security guards see another world that you can't imagine at all. Moreover, security guards will know more about the privacy and secrets of owners, and many security guards have some unique skills that ordinary people do not master. Once the moral values of security guards are impacted, they will take risks and do some reckless things because they are too qualified.
For example, a colleague named Chen Li was only nineteen years old at that time. He said that he graduated from a sports school and specialized in judo. He once won the silver medal in the provincial sports meet. But when I looked at Chen Li's sissy appearance, I couldn't believe it. Four years later, this person would enter the house and rape a high school girl, and then escape, and there has been no news yet.
For example, the captain was named Zhou. After he became a soldier, he worked as a security officer in a factory. Later, because he couldn't stand the bullying of the factory manager's son, he beat the factory manager's son. As a result, he was laid off and forced to live as a security guard. He said that he was a special paratrooper who was a paratrooper who had been parachuted to a neighboring country for missions. He never mentioned how he beat that person and never mentioned it.
For example, a security guard with the same surname as me, his greatest pleasure was to climb onto the platform of our shopping mall building, hold a high-power telescope, and check every window around him. Over time, he could even explain clearly what the family was in behind each window. He initially peeped at the secret couple's sexual intercourse, but later he became obsessed with understanding the relationships and disputes of the characters in each family. I can now understand his mentality. In his observation of sleepless night, he gained great vanity and the satisfaction of knowing everything.
Another colleague, named Ma, opened the safe in the security duty room more than once, because every time the cashier opened the safe, he would look at him coldly, and in fact he secretly wrote down all the actions of the cashier. He also liked to think about the locks and passwords. I didn't know where he got the template for the key and then equipped it with the key. When I was on duty with him, he opened the safe, saw a large amount of cash in his hand and showed it to me. Finally, he closed the safe without leaving any trace. What's funny is that not only him, but also me, have never had the idea of plundering these public funds for himself.
But these people cannot be compared with Lao Sha, because I have seen with my own eyes that Lao Sha can be stuck to the wall and move on the wall like a gecko.
Lao Sha is much older than me. At that time, Lao Sha was already thirty-two years old. This is the information he was applying for. Whether it is true or not is still unclear. Lao Sha is also taking good care of me at work. When he is on night shift, he will ask me to rest for a while and share my work.
Lao Sha chatted with me, and he said that he used to be a businessman. If he made money in some business, he would be a security guard. He would be comfortable and have no pressure. When he used up all the money he earned, he would go to business. If he made money in the business, he would be a security guard and repeat it.
I thought at the time that this person likes to do small businesses and also likes to be a security guard.
One night, Lao Sha and I were on duty at the same time. I went out to patrol and walked on the side of the black building. I felt uneasy and always felt that something terrifying was waiting for me somewhere. I instinctively looked around and finally saw a black shadow on the wall above my head, seven or eight meters away. At first glance, it looked like a person.
I was so scared that I was shocked and convinced myself that I was dazzled. I looked carefully for a long time. I guess the black shadow was slowly moving on the wall, like a gecko, except for having no tail. I shouted to the black shadow: "What are you?" Then I raised the electric baton, and the blue arc in front of the electric baton flashed out, crackling sounds. This would give me a little courage to face this strange figure.
As a result, Lao Sha's voice came from above, "It's me, stop shouting." Then Lao Sha used his hands and feet and quickly slipped down from the wall.
After returning to the duty room, Lao Sha spoke first and told me not to tell anyone what I saw. Of course I knew who would have such skills? Of course, it was a kind of "craft" for some people to eat. However, we have worked together for so long and have never heard of any valuables stolen in the mall. I was not afraid of it, so I looked at Lao Sha's palm over and over again, except for some calluses on his palms and fingers, I couldn't tell anything unusual.
Lao Sha didn't tell me anything about him at that time. I kept silent about the following time. Two months later, Lao Sha left. He did not resign or greet anyone, and suddenly disappeared. He didn't ask for his last month's salary and his deposit of several thousand yuan. He did not have any disputes with anyone, so he left for no reason.
The captain named Zhou was nervous for a while, thinking that he had stolen valuables in the mall building and fled. However, the property investigation was a long time and there was no loss. Lao Sha disappeared in everyone's eyes for no reason. The captain went to his home on his personal information, but there was no result, and it was left unresolved in the end.
Ten years have passed, and I thought I had forgotten Lao Sha.
Last year, one of my buddies was going to get married. I accompanied him to see the house. I arrived at a property and found an underground parking lot nearby. After my buddies and I saw the house, they gave the parking fee to the security guard in the parking lot when they drove away. I looked at the security guard and ended up being happy. I could meet acquaintances wherever I went. Then I got off the car and asked my friend to leave first. I walked to the security guard and patted him on the shoulder, "Old Sha."
Lao Sha also recognized me in an instant, "Xiao Xu."
The two of them sat in his toll booth and started chatting. I slowly talked about his thing again, and then saw a distinct scar on his neck, which stretched from under his neck to his chin. This scar did not exist ten years ago.
I believe now that Lao Sha is definitely a person with a story, an extraordinary person.
I talked about what happened after I didn’t work as a security guard, and said that I am living by writing now.
But Lao Sha didn't talk about his experience, and was silent for a long time before saying, "Since you are writing something, see if you can write about my experience."
I felt strange. I saw a lot of this kind of requirement. Thanks to many netizens' favors, I told me many times about my experiences to see if they could be written into stories. I expressed it in a tactful way at that time, not everyone's own experiences could be written into novels.
Lao Sha thought for a while and said to me: "Xiao Xu, do you know that I am not far from death."
I think it is difficult to understand talking about life and death in such an unmind tone. Of course, it expresses disdain.
While I was still thinking about what Lao Sha wanted to say, Lao Sha lifted his shirt and showed me his back. I saw that there was a black scar on the left side of his tattooed back, which was not big, just a point similar to his fingers, with a thick hard scab. Then he turned around and saw that there was the same wound on his chest.
"What disease do you have?" I asked curiously.
