On the way to Tsinghua

In order to make more money, he ventured to Tsinghua University, but was captured by a dozen soldiers on the way.

After that, he followed the soldiers and had to help out every day, which was very tiring. He hated the soldiers so much that his ideal of independence was shattered.

One night, the sound of cannons was heard in the distance, and the military camp was in chaos. Xiangzi wanted to take advantage of the situation and sneak out of the military camp.

Xiangzi ran twenty or thirty steps, but he refused to run again. He couldn't bear to part with the camels. After some ideological struggle, he took away the three camels left behind by the troops.

After running out of the military camp, Xiangzi led three camels to sleep all night. At dawn, he came to a village and sold three camels to an old man for only 35 yuan.

Xiangzi fell ill and lay in a small shop for three days. While talking in his sleep and talking nonsense, he revealed his relationship with the three camels. He was called Camel Xiangzi.

After Xiangzi got well, he immediately went to dress up, and then went into the city to go to the person who rented the car and the car factory.

Liu Siye, the owner of the car factory, did all the bad things he could do when he was young. The rent is expensive, but it can accommodate employees

Liu Siye’s daughter is called Huniu. Xiangzi returned to the depot and was entertained by Huniu

Xiangzi gave 30 yuan to Mr. Liu for safekeeping, hoping to buy a car after he had saved up enough.

He worked even harder to make money, even going so far as to steal other people's business.

Xiangzi stayed at Mr. Yang's house for a monthly fee, but got angry and left Yang's house after only four days.

Fourth Master Liu left home to visit relatives. Huniu, who was smeared with makeup and a bit charming, saw Xiangzi and hurriedly called him into her room. There are wine and food on the table. Huniu enthusiastically persuaded Xiangzi to drink. After three cups of wine, Xiangzi fell asleep with Huniu.

After waking up, Xiangzi felt confused, ashamed, sad, and felt a little dangerous. He decided to leave Renhe and the depot and break up with Fourth Master Liu.

At Xi'an Gate, Xiangzi met his old customer Mr. Cao. Mr. Cao was in need of a driver, so Xiangzi happily came to Cao's house to get a monthly salary.

Mr. Cao and Mrs. Cao are very kind to others. Xiangzi feels that everything here is so kind and warm, and he has endless energy.

He bought a stuffed gourd jar and put the money he earned into it little by little, preparing to buy a car for the second time in the future.

Xiangzi got to know Gao Ma and her way of doing things, so she gave out the little money she could have left in the month. One yuan was a lump sum, two yuan was a lump sum, and it was given to the lower class, and the interest was at least three yuan. point

Gao Ma understood Xiangzi's difficulties and helped him. In addition, Xiangzi also learned a lot at Cao's house.

One night, Huniu suddenly appeared in front of Xiangzi and said that she had a baby. Xiangzi was shocked after hearing this. Before Huniu left, she gave him 30 yuan and asked him to pay homage to Mr. Liu on her father's birthday, so as to please the old man and try to get Mr. Liu to recruit him as his son-in-law. That night, Xiangzi couldn't sleep. He felt like he had fallen into a trap. His hands and feet were all clamped and he couldn't escape.

Xiangzi once sent Mr. Cao to a movie. In the teahouse, I met Lao Ma and his grandson Xiao Ma who had fainted from hunger. Lao Ma is a coachman with his own car. His tragic experience casts a shadow on Xiangzi's best hope. He vaguely felt that even if he bought a car, he would still not have a good life: on the night of the sacrifice to the stove, people on the street were eager to go home to worship the gods. At 9 o'clock, Xiangzi took Mr. Cao home, and a detective named Sun followed them on a bicycle. Mr. Cao asked Xiangzi to take the car to his friend Mr. Zuo's house, and then asked Xiangzi to take the car home to see off his wife and young master.

As soon as Xiangzi arrived at Cao's house, he was caught by the detective. He was ordered to follow Mr. Cao, who had offended the education authorities. Detective Sun threatened Xiangzi and took away all his money. Xiangzi's hope of buying a car for the second time became a mirage, and he was very painful.

Xiangzi wanted to find a place to sit down and think over everything, even if he could only cry once after thinking about it, he would know what he was crying about; things were changing so fast that his brain could no longer catch up. He went home and told Gao Ma that Mr. Cao must leave quickly

Xiangzi returned to Renhe Depot hesitantly.

Huniu was very happy when she saw Xiangzi coming back.

Mr. Liu’s birthday was very lively, but he felt unhappy when he thought that he had no son.

In addition, he did not receive many birthday gifts, so he criticized Sang and Huai and poured out his dissatisfaction on Xiangzi and Huniu.

He didn't want to marry his daughter to a stinky rickshaw puller. He was even more afraid that Xiangzi would inherit his property as his son-in-law. Tell Xiangzi to get lost

Huniu didn't buy her father's blame. She openly disclosed her relationship with Xiangzi and said that she was determined to go with Xiangzi.

In a large courtyard in Maojiawan

After a big fight with her father, Huniu and Xiangzi rented a house in a large courtyard in Maojiawan and got married.

After the marriage, Xiangzi realized that Huniu was not really pregnant. Xiangzi felt cheated and hated Huniu very much. Huniu planned to give in to her father and inherit the old man's property after she had used up all her 400 yuan. Xiangzi thought it was dishonorable and refused to do anything. He insisted on going out to pull the cart. Huniu couldn't resist him, so she had to agree.

On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Xiangzi began to pull a cart again, and he was able to pull it "all day long". After a few long deals, he felt something wrong that he had never experienced before. His calves felt tight, his hip bones felt sore, and sweat dripped down from the tip of his nose and face. When I was picking up money, my hands were so trembling that I couldn't hold anything.

He wanted to stop driving the car, but he simply didn't have the courage to go home. He felt that the person at home was not a wife, but a goblin that sucked human blood.

Today's "Renhe Depot" has become "Renhe Depot". Mr. Liu sold some of his cars and gave the rest to a famous car owner in Xicheng. He took the money to enjoy himself.

After Huniu heard the news, she was very disappointed. She saw clearly that she would only be the wife of a coachman for the rest of her life. After crying, she gave Xiangzi 100 yuan and bought a car belonging to Erqiangzi from the same hospital.

Huniu became friends with Xiaofuzi, the daughter of Erqiangzi, and helped her.

Soon, Huniu was really pregnant. Xiangzi worked hard to pull the cart and work

Xiangzi fell ill. This serious illness not only exhausted his physical strength, but also used up all the money in Huniu's hands.

In order to survive, Xiangzi forced himself to pull the cart, but the rider was not even given an extra copper. Xiangzi didn't say anything, he couldn't care less about his life.

Huniu’s delivery date has arrived. Because she is old, inactive, and loves to eat snacks, and the fetus is too large, it is difficult to give birth.

It would cost dozens of yuan to go to the hospital. At this time, Huniu had spent all her money and had to wait to die.

In the end, he died due to dystocia and the child was not saved.

For Huniu’s funeral, Xiangzi sold his car

Xiangzi was about to move out, and Xiaofuzi came to see him and said he was willing to stay with him. Xiangzi likes this woman who is forced into prostitution to support her younger brother, but suffers from the inability to support their family. Looking at Xiao Fuzi, whose eyes were swollen from crying, Xiangzi vowed to come back to pick her up.

Xiangzi got a monthly subscription with the Xia family again and met Mrs. Xia. The young Mrs. Xia seduced Xiangzi and infected him with gonorrhea. After the illness, Xiangzi almost became a different person. He is still so tall, but that righteousness is gone, and he no longer wants to be strong.

He gradually degenerates. In the eyes of the patrol police, Xiangzi is the first-class "prick head"

One evening in winter, Xiangzi took a guest in the Drum Tower and ran to the capital, and found that the man turned out to be Mr. Liu. He drove Fourth Master Liu out of the car and felt a breath of bad breath

Xiangzi had no choice but to find Mr. Cao's house again, told Mr. Cao everything about himself, and asked Mr. Cao to give him an idea. Mr. Cao asked Xiangzi to come back to him for a monthly salary, and agreed to let Xiao Fuzi come to the Cao family to help, and also agreed to give up a house for them to live in. Xiangzi's heart was filled with a glimmer of hope and light. Xiangzi went to Xiao Fuzi with this good news.

Xiangzi walked fearlessly on the street and met Xiao Ma'er's grandfather. Only then did Xiangzi know that Xiao Ma'er had been dead for more than half a year. Xiangzi really understood: Liu Si, Mrs. Yang, Detective Sun--they couldn't get bad retributions just because of his curses; he himself couldn't get benefits just because he wanted to be strong.

Xiangzi ran outside Xizhimen angrily and found that Fuzi had hanged himself two months ago because he couldn't bear the inhuman life of a prostitute.

Xiangzi lost his mind in the street and finally fell completely. He ate, drank, whored, gambled, and contracted gonorrhea. He became lazy and slippery, and even betrayed his friends.

He did not return to Mr. Cao's house, and ended up making a living by doing odd jobs for people doing weddings and weddings. Xiangzi came to his end.
