Chapter 287: Fireworks in the City
A few thieves get together and make a set of rules and regulations, and then have people follow them as if they were obeying the law. It's a big joke.
It stands to reason that Li Xiaoer is a victim. It's the ones they try to steal.
If it is someone else, those who have lost their belongings, they steal and steal. Even if you shout injustice and call the police, it probably won't help.
It just so happened that Li Xiaoer had also learned a few skills of 'holding sheep by hand', and when the knife rushed into his arms and was about to do it, he had already transferred his wallet and found all the things in the thief's pocket - can Li Xiaoer be blamed for this? It can only be said that his means are more high.
Unexpectedly, this kind of behavior annoyed them, and they tried to commit violence against Li Xiaoer.
The last thing Li Xiaoer is afraid of is that others will be violent to him. Although he is not a very chalky person.
"You will do whatever I say?" Li Xiaoer asked with a smile. "I'm going to make you all turn yourself in. Are you going? β
The little old man's expression froze, but the faces of several people behind him changed greatly, and they wanted to rush up and do it when they were scolding.
Li Xiaoer's request was obviously beyond the scope of what they could bear.
The little old man waved his hand, looked at Li Xiaoer with a serious face, and said, "Do you think this is useful?" β
Li Xiaoer was silent.
They stood there for about ten minutes, but no police had been there until now. That's pretty telling.
Even if the little old man listened to his words, he called a few disciples and grandchildren to turn himself in. Maybe the front foot goes in, and the back foot comes out. What's the point of such a surrender?
Is it just their reason why they are rampant?
No.
Li Xiaoer knew that this was not right in many things, but he couldn't change it.
How many people live in this kind of entanglement between the collision of ideals and reality?
The little old man lived as a chalky character, and naturally peeked into Li Xiaoer's thoughts.
He said with a smile: "Since this little brother is our old man, then I will treat this incident as if it never happened, and everything will be returned today, what do you think?" β
All the thieves have returned what they stole today? This means that today they have zero 'turnover'.
Looking at the faces of the people behind the little old man, he knew that the money they had returned was not a small amount.
Li Xiaoer felt a little bored, waved his hand, and said, "Just do it." You can go. β
After speaking, he pulled Lin Ziqing and wanted to leave this place of right and wrong.
"Wait-" A man with glasses chased after him, pointed to a wallet in Li Xiao's second-hand hand, and said, "That's-it's mine." Can you give it back to me? β
Li Xiaoer looked at the man and didn't speak.
When he looked around and tried to find the figure of the police detective, he saw him, who was standing by with a smile on his face. It's as if this matter has nothing to do with him. Now, he finds out that his wallet has been stolen?
"Did you call the police?" Li Xiaoer asked.
"Call the police?" He glanced nervously at the little old man and the others, and said, "I didn't call the police." I didn't call the police. How could I call the police? β
Li Xiaoer's heart was even more sad.
He lost his wallet and got it back for him myself. When he was besieged, he stood by and watched the play. I didn't even make a call to the police.
Is it worth it for such a person?
"Which is your wallet?" Li Xiaoer asked.
"It's the black one." The man in glasses said.
"And mine. That LV is mineβ" Another woman stepped forward. She was also one of the onlookers.
"Are you sure it's these two?" Li Xiaoer took out the two wallets and asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes. It's mine, it's mine. The man with glasses and the fashionably dressed woman nodded at the same time. Thank you. Thank you so much. β
So, Li Xiaoer turned around and threw the two wallets to the little old man, and said, "You don't have to return these two wallets." β
"Good. It doesn't look like I'm going to get nothing today. The little old man took the wallet and said with a smile.
"Y-how can you?" The glasses man was angry, and pointed at Li Xiaoer and said.
"Because I like it." Li Xiaoer looked at him with disdain. "Why don't you go get it back yourself?"
The man with glasses looked at the little old man, his face was red, white and blue, and he cursed a dirty word and left quickly.
The woman looked at Li Xiaoer, then at the little old man, and wanted to step forward to get her wallet back, but she didn't dare to step out after all. Standing here felt ashamed again, and left quickly with his bag.
"If people don't save themselves, who can save them?" The little old man looked at Li Xiaoer with a smile. "We're all here to liveβ"
"Don't say you're so great. A crime is a crime, and there is no excuse. Li Xiaoer interrupted him and said.
didn't bother to appreciate the little old man's choked expression, Li Xiaoer pulled Lin Ziqing and walked forward.
"Don't you feel helpless?" Lin Ziqing looked at Li Xiaoer and asked.
"I just don't think it's worth it." Li Xiaoer shook his head with a wry smile. "But, when you think about it, I'm not much better than anyone else. If it weren't for the thief's attempt to target you, I probably wouldn't have pulled him out of the crowd. If they don't want to be rough with me, I won't do anything to themβeach one sweeps the snow in front of his own door, and doesn't care about the frost on the others. I'm no exception. β
"What do you want to say?"
"We can't strengthen other people's hearts, we can only strengthen our own backbone." Li Xiaoer said with a smile. "They can't stand up straight, I can't take care of it. We need to stand up straight and not be beaten down. That's all that matters. β
"If it were me, they would have died here!" Lin Ziqing said.
Li Xiaoer laughed.
With a pure smile, he said, "It's almost the New Year." β
Every New Year, Li Xiaoer is alone, even if sometimes Zhang Lao comes to Li Xiaoer to eat, Li Xiaoer is hesitant, a little restrained, now I think about it, my whole childhood, passed by this old man's side, maybe this time for the New Year, I can go back to see Zhang Lao.
"yes. It's almost the Chinese New Year. Lin Ziqing's eyes had an imperceptible sadness and heartache.
Li Xiaoer glanced around and said, "You wait for me." β
With that, he ran ahead.
Soon, he was back with a lot of stuff.
Firework.
All he brought back were long and short fireworks.
"I'm definitely not by your side during the Chinese New Year, I'll set off fireworks for you in advance." Li Xiaoer said with a smile.
He opened the wrapping paper, took out a large long cylinder and handed it to Lin Ziqing, and said, "You come." β
Lin Ziqing shook his head with a smile.
She likes to watch fireworks and doesn't like to set them off.
When she was a child, whenever that man set off fireworks, she was so frightened that she covered her ears and ran away. It's just that when the fireworks rise into the sky and bloom gorgeously, she will look up with her little face and look at it intently, full of joy and joy.
So, Li Xiaoer stuffed all the fireworks into Lin Ziqing's hand and said, "You take it." I'll give you a demonstration first. β
In the past, when he was celebrating festivals, Li Xiaoer also liked to set off fireworks.
However, he didn't have any ability to bear the cost of the fireworks one by one, so every time when the people outside set off fireworks, Li Xiaoer would run to the street, sit in a corner of the street, and watch one spark after another rise into the air, bloom, fall, and then disappear without a trace. Bloom again, fall, return to peace.
At that time, he didn't experience much happiness, but on the night of the Spring Festival, loneliness spread like weeds.
Li Xiaoer saved money for a month, and when he bought fireworks, he also bought a lighter by the way.
Ignite. The fuse began to sizzle.
Phewββ
The firework in his hand shook violently, and a stream of sparks rushed out into the air.
Smack-
The fireworks burst like a shower of stars.
The pitch-black sky was lit up instantly, as if a cut had been made in the black cloth that covered the sky. Outside the mouth is the rolling nebula and the neon color.
Smack-
Another firework rushed into the sky, screaming so loudly and crying so loudly. Then, they show everyone their colorful clothes.
A kaleidoscope ends. Li Xiaoer changed to a 'high-altitude ballet'.
The canopy of the ballet is thicker and louder, and the fireworks burst out to envelop a wider area.
Some stay, others look up. Others filmed this unforgettable scene with their mobile phones.
Every firework burst can bring cheers and cheers.
The little old man looked at Li Xiaoer, who was setting off fireworks from a distance, and said to a few people behind him: "Tell me to go down, and all the empty doors will set off fireworks today." β
Although those people were puzzled, they quickly withdrew to make arrangements.
I don't know who in the west of the city also wants to join in this excitement, and fireworks are set off before Christmas arrives and the Spring Festival is far away.
When the first person joins, there is a second person, and a third person.
The sound of thunderclaps was endless, and the east, south, west, north, entire street, and the entire sky of the Sea of Mirrors were occupied by this beautiful and enthusiastic elf.
What Li Xiaoer didn't expect was that he just wanted to vent the sullenness in his heart, and by the way, to please the girls around him, he could bring such a big noise.
Now, Li Xiaoer doesn't have to put it anymore. Because the sky is already lively enough, the seven fairies, the eight immortals crossing the sea, the flying dragon, the starry sky and so on show their strange postures, competing for beauty.
Li Xiaoer turned to look at Lin Ziqing, she was looking up at her delicate and flawless little face, her nose was small and firm, her lips were red and moist, her eyes were as bright as stars, her long eyelashes were unblinking, and she was so serious that she looked at the dreamlike sky reverently, with a clean and sweet smile on her face.
This happiness comes from the inside out, coming out of the heart, jumping out of the bones, seeping out of the skin, and it can't be stopped, stopped, or suppressed.
She became the same little girl she had been years ago, shedding the cocoons and shaking off the burden on her shoulders. Doing nothing, thinking about nothing, being flattered and pampered by a big man with this most beautiful thing.
The fireworks are beautiful, and the people are a thousand times better!
The city is full of fireworks, and it is gorgeous in an instant!
