Chapter 317: In the Dark
The man in the car, looking at Zhou Bin's hesitant expression, knew that he definitely didn't believe himself.
"I said brother, what can I lie to you when you're a big man?
You don't have any money, can I still sell you when I'm old?
I'll send you when you get in the car, you really can't trust me, it's okay to give you my ID card, right?" The man stretched out his ID card out of the window and gave it to Zhou Bin.
Zhou Bin was even more confused by the man's actions, what kind of routine is this?
Thinking that if he didn't get into the car, he would definitely be entangled, so Zhou Bin sat in the co-pilot's seat, wanting to see what he was going to do.
"Brother, sit down and fasten your seatbelts, and here we go. The man said excitedly and stepped on the accelerator, and the car sprang out.
"Where are you going, your first time here?" the man said, his mouth idle.
"I don't know where I'm going, I've fled here, and I haven't settled down yet. Zhou Bin replied half-truthfully, he just wanted to see how the man reacted.
"Oh, I see that you are not young anymore, why are you still a junior high school student running away from home?
You should have a family and children at your age, right?
It's irresponsible for you to run out like this, and I look down on you a little bit now. The man turned his head to look at Zhou Bin and slowed down the car.
"Brother, my wife died and I haven't remarried, but I have a daughter who lives with my mother.
I escaped by committing a crime, not running away from home. Zhou Bin watched his reaction with his eyes.
As soon as the man heard that Zhou Bin was a fugitive who committed the crime, the frightened car turned off.
"Big brother, you, what did you do? It can't be murder and robbery or something, right?" The man trembled and didn't dare to look at Zhou Bin.
Zhou Bin smiled secretly in his heart, looking at this person, he should be an ordinary person, at least he will not be a person with bad intentions.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that my boss owes me half a year's salary and I beat his pet dog to death.
The boss insisted on paying him 10,000 yuan, saying that the dog was a valuable breed.
I had no money to give, so I was arrested. Zhou Bin pretended to make up the story with a sad and angry expression.
The man listened to Zhou Bin's words very carefully, and let out sympathetic sighs from time to time.
"The boss of this dog day really has no conscience, and he doesn't pay you a salary if he has money to raise such an expensive dog?
Good fight, brother!" the man reached out and patted Zhou Bin's shoulder, and Zhou Bin looked at him worriedly holding the steering wheel with one hand.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine without the steering wheel.
By the way, my name is Xia Lan, what's your name?"
"My name is Wu Wen. Zhou Bin has always used this pseudonym outside, and his mother's surname is Wu, and the word "Bin" is separated and only one text is left.
"Brother Ang, don't worry, I will cover everything you have in Mianping City in the future, although I am just an ordinary person, but it is no problem to cover a foreigner. Xia Lan was very confident in his promise, and Zhou Bin just listened to it as comforting words.
Soon the car stopped in front of an old residential building, most of which were dilapidated and old.
Xia Lan's father left a small house of 50 square meters here, and he has been living in the new house since he got married.
It's remote and dilapidated, and the houses are always empty and can't be sold.
"Angkor, although this place is a little dilapidated, the people are a little more complicated.
But I promise that there will be no personal danger. Xia Lan took Zhou Bin to introduce as he walked.
When he opened the door, a strong musty smell stimulated Zhou Bin to sneeze several times.
"I'm sorry, but I haven't lived here since my dad died.
I hope you don't dislike it. Xia Lan turned on the light in the room, and Zhou Bin saw that although it was only 50 square meters, the design pattern was still very reasonable and practical.
If you look around, you can see that everything you need to live at home is basically complete.
"Thank you, Brother Xia, this has helped me a lot.
I'll stay here for a while, and then I'll move out when I'm settled. Zhou Bin didn't want to owe him too much favor.
"Angkor, you are out of sight, and no one lives in this house.
If you don't dislike being small and dilapidated, the house can be preserved for a long time.
I haven't thanked you for taking care of the house for me. Xia Lan smiled innocently.
After settling Zhou Bin, he gave Zhou Bin another taxi key.
"Tomorrow I will take you to familiarize yourself with the roads and terrain here, and then you will drive my friend's car to help him complete the mission.
Don't worry, I'll give you a salary, not much, but certainly enough for you to live. Xia Lan was a little embarrassed to speak, he himself has a job, and he can only use the night to help run the sports car.
It would be best if Zhou Bin was willing to help, but that friend's family was in difficulty, and Xia Lan hoped that Zhou Bin could give all his income to that friend.
He himself can deduct a little from his bonus to give Zhou Bin a living.
Xia Lan is a salesman, specializing in auto parts, taking goods from the original factory and selling them to those 4S stores to earn the middle price difference.
So he often has to go on business trips, which is the main reason why he can meet Zhou Bin on the long-distance bus.
Although Xia Lan is a salesman, he still loves to help others for so many years, just like when he just graduated, and never cares about gains and losses.
His wife is one of the people he has helped, because he feels that others are kind and diligent, and they slowly come together.
The result is that the gap between the ideal and the reality is too big, Xia Ran still continues to be kind, but the family's money will be less because of his kindness.
His wife began to feel unbalanced, slowly quarreled with him, and finally divorced.
Xia Lan, who has no restraint, has no restraint to help strangers who he thinks need help.
Fortunately, he and his ex-wife have no children, and now that they are separated, Xia Lan doesn't feel anything bad, at least he is more free.
Zhou Bin heard Xia Lan's suggestion and felt that it was very good, at least he had no better choice now.
After expressing his gratitude, Xia Lan left.
Zhou Bin cleaned up the room well, found Xia Lan's father's clothes and took a bath, changed his clothes and lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
It's not that he has a big heart, but Zhou Bin feels that this place is worth resting against.
Xia Lan, who silently drove back to his home alone, recalled how many people he had helped this month while listening to the song.
It never occurred to him that helping others would also be a disease, an addictive disease.
And it's a disease for which there is no cure.
When his ex-wife helped others take out the family's money, he asked a psychiatrist to help him see it.
The doctor said that he was too depressed and needed to find a way to comfort himself.
And by helping others, he found a way to manifest his self-worth, he felt that he was great, and his heart was full of pride.
It was this feeling that stimulated him to repeatedly lend a helping hand to strangers.
Seeing that he had no hope of healing, his ex-wife resolutely left, and Xia Lan also knew the cause of his illness, but he didn't plan to cure himself.
He felt that this was very good, he was happy and satisfied, and others were also helped, which may have been arranged by God a long time ago.
