Chapter 1: The Strange Old Man

Night Shadow is an honest girl, except for her body and appearance, there is nothing particularly outstanding about it, and her experience is even more bland. After graduating from school, he obeyed the arrangement of his parents and tried his best to be a civil servant in an administrative department in the city, and then left home to rent a house near the unit, and began to live an ordinary office worker life like his parents. Originally, she thought that life would go on like this, but on this day, her momentary kindness changed forever.

Nightshade's residence is not very far from the unit, about a 20-minute walk. So every morning when she goes to work, she always gets up 40 minutes in advance to wash, and after packing herself up in a hurry, she rushes all the way to the breakfast shop along the way to pack food, and then carries it to the unit to solve it.

Today is no exception, order a large cup of hot soy milk, and then pair two fresh meat bags, nutritious and full, carry it and rush to the unit. Along the way, there are people in a hurry, vehicles are speeding by, hawkers are shouting enthusiastically at the top of their voices, and the roars of singers are heard from roadside shopping malls from time to time, so it is a lively scene.

However, Nightshade inadvertently noticed that there was an old lady curled up in a corner of the street by the side of the road, staring blankly at the street, but her winter clothes were very thin, carrying a package that looked like the back of an ancient person. Her whole body seemed to be running around for a long time, covered with the smell of dust. Nightshade wanted to leave like this, thinking that he was probably another old man begging for money. Over the years, there have been many people in this world who want to get something for nothing, obviously with good hands and good feet and a happy family, but they want to pull down their self-esteem and reach out to others, and regard begging as a job. There are more people who are deceived, and gradually people are also wary of people begging on the streets.

After walking a few steps, Night Shadow felt very strange again, I don't know why, this old lady felt very strange to herself, and made herself feel that if she left like this, she would regret it, and she couldn't find any reason when she thought about it. Alas, if you are so worried about becoming your own knot sooner or later, forget it, just take it as a good deed and give yourself peace of mind.

So he turned back, walked to the old man and squatted down, and called softly: "Auntie, there is breakfast here, do you want to eat a little?"

The old man seemed to have come back to his senses, staring at the night shadow but saying nothing, his eyes full of suspicion and vigilance.

"If you haven't eaten, just eat it while it's hot, it's very cold this day, eat something hot, it will be a little warmer!" Looking at the old man's demeanor, Night Shadow said depressedly: "I saw that you were here early in the morning, and you didn't wear much, but you didn't have any other ideas." ”

The old man still looked at the night shadow steadily, his eyes as sharp as nails, and he still didn't say a word.

If you don't talk like this, will you be dumb or have hearing problems? If that's the case, people won't be able to speak. Nightshade thought for a moment and found a reason to comfort herself. Then he pulled a flyer from a nearby store and spread it next to the old man, and put soy milk and meat buns on paper. He pointed to the old man's food, and then to his mouth. After thinking about it, he took another hundred yuan from his bag and stuffed it into the old man's hand.

Looking at the time displayed on the phone, "Oh my God, it's late!" Night Shadow screamed, quickly waved his hand at the old man, and trotted all the way to work, praying in his heart, hoping not to let the leader find out.

The old man, still without saying anything, stared in the direction of the night shadow's departure, a smile on the corner of his mouth. Pick up the soy milk, take a big sip, exhale a breath of hot air, and then pick up the bun and take a big bite.

I hurried to the unit, and found that all the people in my department were busy, and there was no one in the office, so I was so lucky today! Night Shadow hurriedly turned on the computer and put the bag away. patted his chest, and now, even if the others came back, they wouldn't find out that they were late.

And so the day passed.

The next morning, Night Shadow bought a breakfast as usual and rushed to the unit, and when he walked around the corner, he subconsciously looked at the place where the old man stayed yesterday. The old man was still in that place, still with that demeanor, still wearing the same thin clothes, as if he hadn't even changed his posture. The night shadow is dizzy, today's weather is colder than yesterday, how can the old man stay like that? Other old people who are begging for money are also wearing thick winter coats at this time, and this old man is not afraid of freezing and rotting?

Pat your head, okay okay, I helped yesterday anyway, and it's not bad today. Night Shadow walked over to the old man, put down the food on the paper beside the old man, thought about it, took off the down vest he was wearing, draped it on the old man, and then pointed to the old man to eat, and hurried to work again.

On the morning of the third day, when I passed, I saw that the old man was still in that place, still in the same posture, but the down vest was already on his body. Nightshadow didn't know why, but suddenly felt as if he had achieved something to do to the old man, and his mood became happy for no reason, and he put down his food and went to work happily.

The days went by like this, at first Night Shadow just tried to see if the old man was still there, and then he simply packed two copies, thinking in his heart, if he found out that the old man was not there one day, he wouldn't buy it again, anyway, it would only be a matter of a few dollars.

In this way, seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Night Shadow took breakfast and went to the place where the old man was staying, put down the meal, and was about to leave. At this time, suddenly the old man said, "Don't come tomorrow, I'll leave today."

"Can you speak, can you hear?"

"I just didn't want to talk about it in the past. The old man said lightly.

God, the night shadow is embarrassed, dare to love the past few days, I think that the old man can't speak or even deaf, and it is simply funny to die comparing gestures before the old man. However, is this old man too calm?" "That's good, old man, you should have gone home a long time ago, it's getting colder and colder every day, you stay here at such an age, you will get sick sooner or later." Nightshade said happily, the old man decided to leave and go home, the matter that had been pressing on his heart for the past few days was finally over. I also did a good deed.

"Do you want me to help, you've been helping me for so long, and I don't want to leave like this. The old man looked at the night shadow, "If you don't say it, you will come back tomorrow, but you won't be able to find me." ”

Nightshade was stunned, and said strangely: "Old man, I don't need your help, I help you, but I didn't think about asking you to reciprocate, besides, you can't help me like this, you better go home early." ”

The old man glanced at Nightshadow deeply, "It's rare to see someone like you, you can still help for free if you are not understood, you are a good boy, you will be blessed." ”

The next day, Night Shadow went to work again, and found that the old man was really gone, and he was relieved, so he went to work happily. Then, she left it behind.
