Chapter 237: The Old Man Who Asked for Money

After nearly half an hour of taking the bus, she finally arrived at Huaguoyuan, and exhausted, she could only sit down at the intestinal noodle restaurant at the intersection of the streets.

"Boss, let's have a bowl of intestinal noodles!" Her voice was not very loud, just a small and gentle voice.

Seeing that someone on the side was bending over, lowering her head, holding chopsticks, and eating with relish, she couldn't help but swallow a few times of saliva, and her hands couldn't help but cover her stomach.

"Your noodles are here!" the waiter carried the noodles and shouted loudly and placed them in front of her, and before she could put them away, she couldn't wait to eat them.

On Friday, the campus is always very crowded, most of them left home after school in the rain, Xia Qing put his hands in his trouser pockets alone, a pair of headphones tightly on his ears, strolling on the campus green and yin avenue, the French plane trees at the intersection of the bachelor's road are particularly lush, and the big leaves are next to each other, snuggling tightly.

The headphones were put down loudly and the most popular songs were put down, and she listened to them very intoxicated, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with her, and at this time she only had music.

The vibration sound of "doodoo" interrupted her intoxicated music, and in an instant her expression suddenly changed, and when she saw the name of the caller on the screen, she pursed her own mouth, as if she was both a little happy and a little unhappy.

The vibration sound "beeped" countless times, she was still hesitant to answer, and when she hesitated, the other party hung up the phone.

She sat down under the French plane tree, a stone bench made of stone, still a little cold in the April weather.

"Hmph, if you don't pick it up, you won't call it, you really don't have a little patience, don't you know that you will call the second one right away?" she stared at the dark screen and muttered to herself.

It seems that all girls have a common problem with the person they like, which is not only funny, but also confuses many people, maybe this is what many people think is unreasonable.

When others called, she didn't answer, but when the other party hung up and couldn't help but want the other party to call again, but she didn't want to put down her face and take the initiative to call over, she suspected that she was born with comprehensive tangleholds.

Bored flipping through her address book, seeing Tranquility's name, she seemed to be a little hesitant again, she hadn't been in touch for many days, and suddenly felt like she had evaporated in the world recently.

Cocking her mouth, she still couldn't help but call over, she was eating noodles in a restaurant, and she seemed a little surprised to see Xia Qing's call.

"Hey, tell me something!" she picked up the phone and said hello by name.

Listening to Tranquility's direct greeting, she suddenly felt that although she had not been in touch for a long time and had no greeting, she had no strangeness at all the moment she heard the voice.

"Classmate Jingjing, you haven't been normal at all lately, there hasn't been any news for a few days, and I almost called 110 to call the police to find the missing person. ”

Xia Qing was chattering like a little sparrow, babbling nonsense in one breath.

Tranquility suddenly didn't have any sound to respond, she could only raise her voice and shout "Hey, hey, hey" three times in a row and still didn't respond, she could only hear the noise around her.

Feeling bored and unable to hear a response, she could only reluctantly hang up the phone.

"Give me ten dollars to buy something to eat!" said an old man in tattered clothes, not at all clean, and his tone of voice was particularly pleading.

"Quick, get out!"

"Hurry up and get out, don't ask for money here!"

The waiters in the store were chasing after the poor old man, and he had no choice but to turn his head and leave.

Tranquility was still a little silly, but the moment he turned to leave, she suddenly felt a shock in her heart, and there was a sadness that she couldn't explain.

She put down the chopsticks in her hand, stood up suddenly, and shouted to the old man who was dragging heavy steps, "Wait a minute." ”

He stopped abruptly and looked back at the silence that was now at the table, and his eyes seemed to glow, as if he had seen the hope of light in the night.

Tranquility said as she walked towards him and pulled the money out of her bag.

"Give"

A hundred-dollar bill was handed to the old man in her hand, and his originally sad face suddenly had a smile, and he nodded and kept saying thank you to her.

She didn't say much but smiled slightly, and when he took the money and turned to leave, she returned to her seat, and she didn't have the appetite to finish the noodles she hadn't eaten anymore.

"He's a liar"

"It's a liar, he comes here every day to ask for money to eat. ”

"yes, it's a liar! You give him back the money. ”

There were voices of condemnation of her in Russian, and everyone's eyes changed when they looked at her, as if all the people who asked for money were connived at by her.

Looking at the eyes of the people around her, she took her things and fled out of the hotel in a hurry, as if she was a thief.

When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped her steps, turned to the indifferent people in the room, and said, "Whether he is a liar or not, don't you have a little pity for a poor old man running and walking like this? ”

After saying that, she turned around and left, at this time I felt a lot more comfortable, walking in the noisy city, the moonlight in the sky sprinkled on this noisy street and alley, but in this neon night, it was not so obvious, if it was in the previous town, such a night, walking on the country road, without any light, you can walk by the moonlight for a night.

She was walking on the way back to the dormitory, holding her mobile phone and dialing Xia Qing's phone, because the previous call was interrupted by the old man who asked for money, and then she thought of replying.

"Why did you hang up on me just now, did you forget about me as a friend when you saw that handsome guy, or did it happen to you or something?"

Xia Qing was talking to her on the phone in a weird way, she was not in a very good mood, she used to sit under the plane tree on campus, blowing the cool breeze of the April night.

"Actually, I'm not in a very good mood, you don't know that just now an old man asked for money in front of me, and many people around me sneered at me like a joke. ”

Tranquility complained to her about what happened just now, and sighed deeply into the phone, and she couldn't understand whether this society was getting better or worse.
