Chapter 7: The Old Man in the Telescope

At this time, a fat woman with a black canvas bag on her shoulder walked over tremblingly, took out a rough grass-green binoculars with a small caliber, and peddled to them expressionlessly: "Buy one to play? It's fun. ”

Lu Xiaobai didn't know what this thing was, and he was penniless, so he shook his head; But Lin Ruoxi knew what it was called, so she became interested in it, took it in her hand and looked at it repeatedly for a while, then raised the telescope, pointed the lookout at the two eyes, looked east and west, and made an exclamation like a silver bell from time to time.

Lu Xiaobai began to be very skeptical, what kind of spectacle could be seen by such a seemingly ordinary object? However, judging by her interest, there must have been some miracle happening.

Lin Ruoxi put down the binoculars and asked the woman how much it was, and the woman saw that she wanted to buy it, so she wanted to kill her, saying 60 yuan, Lin Ruoxi said that there was not so much money, only 35 yuan, and after speaking, she took out the money and counted it to her one by one. The woman's blazing eyes gradually dimmed, but it was the number in Lin Ruoxi's hand, and she sold it to make money, so she sold it to Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi handed the binoculars to Lu Xiaobai and told him to look at it like she had just done, promising that it would open his eyes. Lu Xiaobai took the telescope with great interest, raised it up and looked into the lens tube, and there was really a cave, only to see the tall buildings in the distance close at hand, and the visual effect was quite clear, and the three-dimensional sense was also quite strong. He took it to look at the trees in the distance, and saw that the trees were sparse and clear, as if they were standing in front of him. He couldn't get enough of the telescope, and thought it was more fun than anything else.

Suddenly, Wang Xinggui's figure appeared in the moving camera, as if he was in front of Lu Xiaobai, Lu Xiaobai was taken aback, and hurriedly took the binoculars to take a look, and saw that Wang Xinggui was still far away from him. He knew that Wang Xinggui's eyesight was not very good, and it was estimated that he should not have found himself, so his nervous mood gradually relaxed. However, it seems that Wang Xinggui is coming this way, without further ado, he told him that he should hide immediately, otherwise the old guy will definitely be scolded when he sees him! After briefly informing Lin Ruoxi of the situation, he ran to the back of a building and hid.

Lin Ruoxi saw Wang Xinggui and saw that he was an old man, with a little rickety on his back and a little slow in his movements, and he was walking straight to this side. She was inexplicably nervous, as if he was coming for herself, and would hold herself hostage as a beggar, so she wanted to hide too. She followed Lu Xiaobai to the back of the wall, and suddenly remembered that the kite was still under the big tree, she was worried that her beloved kite would be led by someone, and after stomping her feet for a while, she really couldn't hold back the anxiety in her heart, so she mustered up the courage to run over and get the kite, and kept saying in her heart: Don't touch the beggar old man, don't touch the beggar old man!

However, as soon as she came out, she ran into Wang Xinggui, only to see that he was only about five meters away from her, her heart was pounding, she lowered her head, and did not dare to take another look; Wang Xinggui saw her panicked appearance, so he looked at it twice, he didn't understand why she had such a strange appearance?

Lin Ruoxi grabbed the kite and wanted to run, but Wang Xinggui asked, "Little girl, have you seen a little boy as tall as you?" He has a clawed face, a flat head, and wears a sky blue half-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of khaki pants. ”

Lin Ruoxi's head shook like a rattle, becoming more and more frightened, and hurriedly said, "No, no." "The heart said that the physical characteristics and clothing of the person he said are not in line with Lu Xiaobai's physical characteristics and clothing?

Wang Xinggui also became more and more strange, why was she so afraid of herself? Thinking that maybe her "miserable appearance" when she was begging happened to be seen by her, causing a lingering shadow on her, so he tried his best to show an amiable appearance: "That little boy is my grandson, and he jumped out of anger after arguing with me for a few words." Now there are bad guys everywhere, and I'm afraid that he will be taken away by the bad guys, so I came out to look for him, and if you really see him, tell grandpa, and grandpa will thank you. ”

Lin Ruoxi secretly scoffed, and said in her heart that you are a wolf in sheep's clothing! Pretend, pretend to be really presentable!

Wang Xinggui thought to herself, she might not really have seen Lu Xiaobai, or she didn't pay attention to it when she saw it, after all, the street was full of bustling people, who would pay attention to an ordinary stranger? I'm afraid it's a waste of time to ask again, so it's better to look elsewhere.

After Wang Xinggui walked away, Lu Xiaobai dared to come out, he asked Lin Ruoxi how he sent him away, Lin Ruoxi said that he left by himself, and he asked her if she was afraid, she said that she was very afraid, he smiled, and said that he was used to getting along with him, and he didn't feel scared, but he hated him very much. Lin Ruoxi thought to herself, was she too nervous just now? If Lu Xiaobai hadn't run to hide, he wouldn't have been so scared at all, and this "fear" was all scared out by Lu Xiaobai.

They looked at the cityscape with binoculars for a few more moments before hopping away.

Lu Xiaobai felt that there were endless happy things with Lin Ruoxi, which made him re-energize his joy and forget about the unhappy things.

Two children of tricks met each other, because they were in love and treated each other sincerely, so that the two young hearts set off fireworks like splendor.

Lin Ruoxi's family really lives in the "Happy Community", adjacent to Lu Xiaobai's residence, and her family also lives on the fifth floor, and the balcony is silently opposite the back window of his house.

Lu Xiaobai was secretly happy, thinking that as long as Lin Ruoxi stood on the balcony, as soon as I opened the window, I could see her, and with a good neighbor like her, I guess I wouldn't be too lonely.

Lu Xiaobai reluctantly said goodbye to Lin Ruoxi and walked up the stairs of the residence alone. When he was about to reach the fifth floor, he suddenly became nervous, and wondered if the old guy would come back now? He walked lightly to the door, put his ear to the door and listened for a while, there was no sound inside, and he uncomfortably uncovered a piece of cardboard that was pasted on the hole in the door and looked inside, there was no figure either, and his nervousness was relieved only after he was sure that the old fellow had not returned. He slipped his hand through the hole in the door, twisted the lock, and walked inside.

If the old fellow asked him where he had just been, he thought, I would say that I would play under the big tree behind the planter downstairs, and fall asleep.

He sat on the sofa for a while, remembering Lin Ruoxi's purchase of binoculars, and said in his heart that it is good to have money, and he can buy whatever he wants, without hesitation, unlike himself who is penniless and very cold, and he can't even afford an ice cream. He once asked Wang Xinggui for money, but Wang Xinggui not only refused to give it, but also scolded him fiercely, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask for it anymore.

Thinking of Wang Xinggui's hypocritical face and enslavement to himself, Lu Xiaobai became angry, feeling that he had savagely deprived himself of the fruits of his labor, hoping that he would be hit by a car and killed when he went out! At this moment, he suddenly heard a "bang", he was startled, looked up, and saw that the door was blown on the door frame by the wind blowing through the window, and then the door panel "squeaked" and automatically opened a crack.

This room is Wang Xinggui's bedroom, Lu Xiaobai has never entered it, and he doesn't dare to enter it without permission, so he doesn't know what it's like inside. Curious, he went to the door and leaned over to look through the crack, and saw a bed, a table, an old quilt rolled up on the table, an ashtray full of cigarette butts beside the quilt, and a pile of clothes piled up at the end of the bed. He was about to turn around, when he saw a stack of money next to his pillow, and his eyes lit up, and he wondered what would happen if I took the money. It is likely that the old guy will suspect that he did it, and then he will be severely beaten.

If it were in the past, he would not have such crooked thoughts, teachers and parents have taught him to clean himself, not to covet ill-gotten gains, then he will ruin himself, he also kept such words in mind, strict self-discipline, and never made mistakes. However, when he was swept into a dirty corner of society by the merciless wind and waves, he found that the environment in which he lived was incompatible with his original good expectations, and he felt more and more that people who did not think about themselves were stupid.

Although Lu Xiaobai knew that taking this money would be a huge risk, he still couldn't resist the temptation of money, and thought: I have a share of this money, and I want to take my share! If the old guy really wants to do anything to me, then I'll run away with all my might, and I'm not afraid to go anywhere with money anyway!

As soon as he thought about it, he pushed the door in peace, and took the money in his hand tremblingly, it was a thick pile, with a face value of fifty yuan, ten yuan, and more five yuan and one yuan, estimated at four or five hundred yuan, he had never seen so much money in his life, and his heart could not help but feel a burst of ecstasy. I thought again, the old guy must still have savings, he must have hidden it somewhere in this house, since he has stolen it himself, it is better to do nothing and take away all other valuable things!

He flipped through a red passbook under the pillow, opened it, and saw that the last balance on it was 34,095 yuan, and he secretly sighed that this old guy was quite rich. He put the passbook in his trouser pocket and rummaged through the rest of the bed, but this time he found nothing, and then he re-laid the place that had been turned over.
