Chapter 928: A Chance Encounter on the Bridge
Zhang Yang ignored Du Xueshang's doubts, smiled and said a low-key sentence before hanging up the phone.
This time, he really didn't want to toss.
He just wanted to get a good feel for the lively atmosphere, and that's it.
Hanging up the phone, he pulled his collar, wrapped his whole head in his coat, and walked out into the cold and windy streets.
The winter in the capital is very cold, but it still can't stop people's enthusiasm.
There are many people shopping for New Year's goods on the street, and it is very bustling.
Zhang Yang walked quietly and watched.
Maybe it's because the little guy has woken up, or maybe it's because he can go home soon, feeling this lively and reunion atmosphere again, Zhang Yang's heart is very calm, and he can't make any waves.
He walked aimlessly through the streets of the capital, looking at this beautiful city with an appreciative gaze.
This was the first time he had looked at the world with such a calm mind.
Stop to eat and drink along the way, and don't let go of the food and beauty.
It's just that he didn't say a word during the whole journey, and he didn't even pay for anything without asking.
He was silent all the way, and his calm mood seemed to have a hint of complexity.
When passing an overpass, he silently stood on the overpass and watched the traffic on the road below, watching for a long, long time.
I don't know how long it took, but he sighed leisurely and continued to walk.
As a result, after only a few steps, he stopped again and quietly looked ahead.
On the stairs ahead, sat a little girl begging.
The little girl looked to be in her teens, wearing a set of shabby clothes that were obviously not very warm, and she could be seen shivering uncontrollably from a distance of more than ten meters.
Zhang Yang stared at her for a full dozen seconds, and then moved his gaze to the bowl beside her.
There were a lot of loose change in the bowl, five dollars and ten yuan a piece......
The flyover was crowded with people, and many people noticed the poor little girl, and almost everyone who saw her showed a sympathetic look. However, I don't know if it's because I know that the other party is a liar, so there are not many people who put money in the bowl on the ground.
It's not that they don't have compassion, it's not that they don't want to help her, the main thing is that they all know that things are not as simple as they seem.
On such a cold day, they don't believe it to say that this little girl is sitting here because of her poor background.
To say that there is no one behind her is persecuted, it is a hell!
If the money really ends up in the hands of this little girl, people probably won't mind reaching out. But they knew that the money would definitely not belong to the little girl in the end.
As a result, they were forced to choose to ignore it.
Zhang Yang stood there and watched for a few minutes, then took a long breath and turned his head to look around.
I didn't see anyone suspicious.
Also, in the weather of minus several degrees, those people will definitely not be frozen outside. Even if they were to be monitored, they must be sitting somewhere warm, drinking wine and eating good food.
Standing in silence for a while, Zhang Yang walked over.
As the little girl passed by, he, like many others, did not stop.
He just took a closer look at her.
There was no obvious expression on the other party's face, and there was no obvious emotion in his eyes.
Maybe it was because it was too cold, so she sat expressionlessly holding her knees, completely resigned to fate.
Isn't this a kind of despair?
It's just that what kind of despair does it have to go through for a person to give up on themselves directly?
Zhang Yang sighed in his heart and walked straight into a children's clothing store under the overpass.
After buying a thick down jacket in the store and a steaming beef noodle at the noodle shop next door, he returned to the flyover and stood beside the little girl.
The little girl didn't seem to notice, and still sat there with a blank face.
Zhang Yang put the beef noodles on the steps and draped the down jacket over her body.
The little girl finally noticed something, and turned her head to look at him in a bit of a daze.
Zhang Yang picked up the beef noodles on the side and handed them over, and said softly, "Eat it." ”
The little girl subconsciously took the noodles and subconsciously said thank you.
Looking at her strange reaction, it was obviously not the first time she had encountered this kind of thing.
Indeed, there are many who are willing to lend a helping hand even after knowing that she is being controlled. But the difference is that instead of giving money, they buy her something to eat or wear.
For someone like her, who is controlled by others, it is much better to buy her something to eat than to give her money directly. At least, these things will end up on her.
Seeing the little girl's mechanical reaction, Zhang Yang smiled and sat down next to her.
The little girl froze for a moment and looked at him with a confused expression.
In her previous life of begging, she had indeed received a lot of food bought by well-wishers, but it was the first time she had seen her sit next to her like this.
Zhang Yang met her stunned gaze, and said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Eat, leave me alone, I'm just tired of walking and take a break." ”
The little girl glanced at him, then cautiously glanced at the building on the upper left, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she silently ate the noodles without saying a word.
Zhang Yang took in all the small movements she had just made, but she didn't break them, and she also looked up at the building in the upper left.
It was a shopping building, and if nothing else, the people who were watching him should be sitting somewhere in that building.
What is the relationship between the people in the building and this little girl?
Zhang Yang smiled faintly, took his gaze back, and looked ahead so intently, not knowing what he was thinking.
The little girl didn't know if she was really hungry, so she quickly finished eating the beef noodles.
After eating the noodles, she turned her head to look at Zhang Yang again, and after hesitating for a moment, she still handed over the empty bowl very carefully.
Zhang Yang, who was in a daze, turned his head noticeably, took the bowl with a smile, and then put it on the ground, without any intention of getting up and leaving.
The little girl looked at this strange kind-hearted man with a blank expression, and finally didn't dare to ask anything after a few words. In the end, she just leaned quietly on the railing and continued to be in a daze.
There were still people coming and going on the flyover, and many people noticed this strange combination, and many people glanced at Zhang Yang with a monster-like gaze.
Zhang Yang turned a blind eye to these gazes, and still sat beside the little girl in a daze.
One minute......
Ten minutes......
Half an hour......
What the little girl didn't expect was that Zhang Yang sat for more than an hour.
