Chapter 44: Fall

Li Zhengyi didn't ask about any relics, but shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult, don't say 30,000, I can't take out 20,000." This is not a deliberate shirk, but Li Zhengyi knows his own situation. At present, all the savings are invested in the scrap collection station, and it is now mid to late February, and most of the funds are pressed on the scrap products that are purchased, and the remaining funds cannot be used as follow-up acquisition costs. Even if it can be called a little, it will definitely not be able to meet Ouyang Qing's requirements.

Of course, there is another main reason, I am too young to make the right to use funds for my parents.

Ouyang Qing's face was gloomy, of course he knew that it was indeed too abrupt to suddenly open his mouth to borrow tens of thousands. Compare your heart to your heart, change it to yourself, and face a stranger's large loan request, I am afraid that I will not be able to agree. But his injuries are in danger, and he will have nowhere to borrow for a while, if he is not in great trouble, how can he be so.

After thinking about it, Ouyang Qing suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "One more condition, as long as I save my life, I will serve you unconditionally for ten years, and I will start fulfilling it after three years." But there is one point, the relic can only be used as collateral, and whether you repay the money on time or not afterwards, you must pay me back. ”

Li Zhengyi was taken aback, and didn't understand the meaning of Ouyang Qing's words for a while, so he asked blankly, "What do you mean?"

Ouyang Qing said: "Received the grace of people, since the spring reciprocated, you have saved my life once, the great grace dare not say thank you, if you borrow money to save my life again, it is really impossible to repay, I have no long things, alone, if you don't dislike, I can serve you for ten years to make up for it." Before that, I used the jade pendant, that is, the relics of my parents, as collateral, and put it off for three years to do something that had to be done, and then come back to fulfill the promise, and you will return the jade pendant to me. Of course, I will pay you back the money you lent me. ”

Li Zhengyi was speechless for a long time when he heard this, and thought to himself, you are a big man, what do I want you to do for ten years? If you are a beautiful woman, you can still use it as a wife and a concubine as a lover, and what can a big man do with it? Domestic servant? Or disabled? I grass, this is still forgotten, you are a disabled person, if you promise to support you for ten years, you will not be able to raise you for a lifetime.

Ouyang Qing seemed to be able to guess Li Zhengyi's mental activities, and explained: "Don't worry, I'm not as incompetent as you imagined, if it weren't for the special circumstances, if it weren't for the two life-saving graces, I wouldn't have sold my ten years for this money." To tell you the truth, even if I am crippled in the future, I am confident that I will be better than most normal people. ”

Li Zhengyi continued to be confused.

Ouyang Qing saw that he was still indifferent, and said, "In this way, you take a look at the jade pendant first, it is a relic of my parents, and I have always carried it with me." By the way, you've sorted out my clothes, where do you put them?"

Li Zheng opened the drawer at the head of the bed blankly, took out a plastic bag, and loosened it on Ouyang Qing's body: "It's all here, including a watch, a jade pendant, a pair of glasses, an ID card, eight hundred in cash, and a few pieces of letterhead, which are wrinkled and soaked in blood, I didn't look at it." ”

Ouyang Qing's right hand was injured, so he could only open the bag with his left hand, touch the watch and take it out, and found that he didn't go missing, so he put it down again. took out the jade pendant again, looked at it with his fingers for a while, and then handed it to Li Zhengyi. Li Zhengyi didn't answer, knowing that once he answered at this time, it meant that he was interested. But he really has no money and can't promise the other party in one bite, so he doesn't dare to accept it, because a man can be unpromised, but he must not be untrustworthy.

Seeing Li Zhengyi's hesitation, Ouyang Qing grinned bitterly and said, "Brother, I know that my request may be difficult and will cause you a lot of trouble, but I can see that you are not an ordinary person, I am afraid that you are more capable than I imagined." I won't talk about other requirements for the time being, I just hope that you can take a look at the jade pendant first, and then go back to discuss it with your parents, and help me if you think it's worth it. I don't think it's worth it, you are my savior, so naturally I won't blame you. ”

Li Zhengyi sighed, if it was placed before the rebirth in the previous life, what is this money, it can be solved in minutes. But now a penny is hard to beat a hero, especially Ouyang Qingtang, a big man, if he is not desperate, how can he beg for someone in a low voice, how can he mortgage the only relic of his parents without hesitation, and lose ten years of time.

It can be seen that Ouyang Qing has a lot of affection for the jade pendant left by his parents, and even does not hesitate to sell himself for ten years, and he has to add a condition that the jade pendant must be returned.

Li Zhengyi smiled helplessly, took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, he knew that this was respect. If he took it casually and put it aside, Ouyang Qing would definitely be disappointed and sad in his heart. Now pretending to identify it will at least give him a glimmer of hope in despair.

The jade pendant is transparent and lubricated throughout, which is the result of years of play, and the texture is very good. Reflecting the light, you can see that the oil is full and the plum blossom pattern is vivid. It's a pity that Li Zhengyi's eyes are black on this kind of thing, and he can only look at the surface, and he can't identify a reason.

Pretending to play for a long time, Li Zheng returned the jade pendant to Ouyang Qing: "Let me tell you the truth, my family is very poor, I said that I was a rag, I really didn't lie to you." With my family's current conditions, it is impossible to borrow 20,000 or 30,000 yuan from you. I have carefully looked at the jade pendant, and I dare not say whether it is good or bad, but it should not be bad to sell it for twenty or thirty thousand yuan with the price of grinding with others. I'll give you a suggestion, if you're really short of money, either sell it or sell it, and I can help you contact the store. ”

Ouyang Qing shook his head and said, "It's a little reluctant to sell it, this is the only relic left to me by my parents, and I can't get rid of this love." As for the pawn shop, I also understand that the deadline for pawning items will not be very long, and they will not give you too long to redeem them, and I am not sure that I will be able to do what I want to do within the specified time limit. ”

"I asked you to help, using the jade pendant as collateral, in fact, I have a selfish intention, thinking that I will redeem it later, because your time here is controllable. In case I can't redeem it back, I will leave it to you, and I am willing, otherwise I will be left in the vast sea of people, and I am afraid that I will not be able to see each other again in this life. Of course, if you really can't move, I can't force it, at present, with my conditions, I can't make a realistic promise, I really can't help it, I can only sell a little casually, it is important to save my life. ”

Speaking of which, Li Zhengyi couldn't say anything if he refused directly, so he got up and said, "That's it, I'll ask the doctor, you wait a minute." ”

Li Zhengyi found the attending surgeon and carefully inquired about Ouyang Qing's condition. The doctor told him that with Ouyang Qing's current condition, conservative treatment is not recommended, and there is no need to keep his right foot. Keep at it, once a malignant infection occurs, there is a ninety percent chance that it will be life-threatening. The right foot amputation surgery is not difficult and does not have much risk, as for the cost of the operation, without the miscellaneous expenses such as follow-up care medicine, a single operation of seven or eight thousand is enough.

Back in the ward, Li Zhengyi told Ouyang Qing's words to the doctor, and finally said: "The doctor said that it is a single operation, if the operation is not ideal, and multiple operations are required, the cost will increase." I can't give you too high a guarantee, I can try to help you borrow the cost of a single operation and a certain amount of nursing medicine, but for the rest, you don't have too much hope. ”

Ouyang Qing could see that what Li Zhengyi said should be the truth, and he did not deliberately shirk or have other bad intentions. Having said that, there is really no need for people to save people.

Without further ado, Li Zheng said goodbye together and told Ouyang Qing that he would come back regardless of whether he raised funds or not.

Before leaving, Ouyang Qing handed the plum blossom jade pendant to Li Zhengyi and said, "Take it back and let your parents see it." ”

Li Zhengyi was silent for a long time and said, "Aren't you afraid that I won't go back with the jade pendant?"

Ouyang Qing smiled and said, "When you are in the old mansion, you have a better chance. I didn't do it then, and I can't think of any reason why I have to do it now. ”
