Chapter Twenty-Three: Wumao and the Truth of the World
"The most severe challenge for the average person......
"Power, fame, status,...... And, most importantly, money...... And even a qiē in the world! ”
Yu He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, with an unprecedentedly strict look:
"Every step you take must be extremely cautious, because this is not a place that humans can reach, it is the realm of demons!"
"Oh ~ oh! ......" (nodding his head)
"So, let's go! Bet on your life!! ”
Yu He pointed to the street in front of him with an imposing hand.
"Huh? …… Do you want to gamble with your life?! ”
The girl was surprised.
In the bustling street of Xingmo city center, skyscrapers stand along both sides of the street, and different commercial images are projected over the street, and the endless stream of people is endless.
Yu He covered a few banknotes in his pocket, looking at the surrounding environment as if he was facing a great enemy.
In the past few years, due to the shyness (picking) astringency (door) in the bag, the problem of food and clothing is also extremely serious (because of the additional expenses generated by the food expenses of a ghost), and the high-consumption place in the city center is nothing more than the deepest hell for Yu He, not to mention stepping on, even if he is close, he will return to the West on the spot because of heart failure.
However, on this day, Yu He stood at the entrance of this hell for the first time.
Don't take it lightly!
Yu He looked wary.
"President, I think, should ...... No problem, right? ”
The staccato sound of small animals sounded.
“…… You don't understand it at all! ”
Yu He pointed to the street in front of him:
"What do you think it is?"
"It's ...... Street ......"
"So you don't understand the darkness of this world at all!"
Why is it heartbroken:
"Ostensibly the street, but ...... Actually, it's all a trap! ”
"Huh? …… Is that so?! ”
"Of course, the danger of this place is second only to the center of the battlefield of nuclear war, and the slightest mistake will be shattered!!"
Yu He pointed to the ground not far away.
"What do you see there?"
"There...... It seems to be a piece of money. ”
"If it were you, what would you do at such a time?"
"Should I pick it up?"
"Right! Everyone wants to pick it up, right?! But ah......"
Yu He held his forehead with one hand.
"Isn't this a problematic situation, haven't you noticed?!"
"What...... What's the problem? ”
"From a mile away from this junction, I had already found this five-cent bill that had fallen to the ground, and I memorized the number on the money by the way...... There were forty-eight people who passed by until we got here, and seventeen of them looked down and saw the money, but ah...... No one picked it up from start to finish!! ”
"What does that mean?"
The girl tilted her head slightly.
"Of course, it shows that there is an ulterior inside story behind this!! Once this money is picked up, it will trigger all kinds of extortion, extortion, and fraud, and then it will be squeezed dry and used to sell blood and kidneys...... Destitute and living on the streets, he joined the army of scavengers to survive, and finally died of starvation on the streets on cold winter nights......"
Yu He was heartbroken.
"Could it be...... Isn't it because the denomination is too small that no one picks it up? ”
"What!! Five cents is a large bill that can buy an egg!! ”
"That...... President, for ordinary people, five cents should be regarded as a small amount of money, right? …… Probably ......"
"How is that possible!! ……”
Yu He's legs fell to the ground weakly.
"Five cents!! It is 1 in 200 yuan of 100 yuan, and it is actually a small banknote in the world's cognition?!!! ”
The collapse of the worldview is often in an instant......
"Is it just because it is considered a small banknote, and all those who pass by turn a blind eye to it, and don't even bother to bend down to pick it up?!! This world ...... Have you fallen to this point?!!! ……”
Yu He's body was weak and lay on the ground.
…………
"Now, did you hear that?"
"Huh? What do you hear......"
"It's the sound of crying...... Money is crying!! ”
Yu He stretched out a palm into the air.
"Regardless of the source, no matter how big or small the denomination, there is no fault with the money itself, because these external reasons have been abandoned by the world and the world, and how cruel it is to it!! So ......"
Yu He stood up, and a look of determination appeared in his eyes.
"Even if you fight for my life, you have to pick it up and tell it ......"
The feet have already exerted strength, the inner sorrow, the burning of faith, at this moment, life, and even the soul have been raised to the limit.
The body turned into an afterimage in the flat ground, the speed of the wind, the temperature of the sun, the flow of the air...... All the qiē is integrated into the touch of the soul......
On the sidewalk more than ten meters away, Five Cents was waiting quietly.
If all the encounters in the world are fate, then at this moment, Yu He has already grasped the red line of fate.
What is the origin of five cents?
A pack of spicy strips, an egg, a pound of festival, a steamed bun......
"Wumao, Wumao, I'm Wumao......"
Wumao repeated the mechanical words and lay quietly on the road, looking up at the huge city and the endless sea of people.
No one will stop by it, and no one will look at it more, and it knows such things.
Just as no one picks up a grain of sand or a stone, Wumao understands its worth the moment it is born.
It's obviously the same material, just because the value printed on it is five cents, so even if it is a lifetime, it can only be five cents.
So the moment it fell to the ground, it had no hope of being picked up.
Even so, it waits, even if there is no hope, even if it has become numb by the passage of time...... The moment you meet someone......
The interval of just a few seconds is as long as a century for Yu He.
After crossing the distance like the end of the earth (in fact, it is more than ten meters), breaking through the barrier like a gap (the separation pier on the sidewalk), it finally came to it.
"Now, Wumao, I'm here."
Yu He wiped the sweat from his forehead and squatted in front of Wumao.
"Is that okay? I'm just five cents...... Can I really do this? ”
Wumao asked suspiciously.
"What stupid thing to say, it's not 'just five cents', but 'because you are five cents'!"
Yu He held the five cents in the palm of his hand.
"I, but I like money the most!! I like it more than anyone else in the world!! ”
"But...... I'm five cents, even if it's discarded on the street, no one will pick it up......"
"As I said, I don't lose to anyone when it comes to money! Whether it's 100 million or five cents, you're all money! Although the value is different, you are all real money!! So, even if I fight for my life, even if I have to burn my soul to the ground, I will definitely pick you up!!! ”
Yu He held the five cents and shouted.
'Well, thank you. ’
Until the end, Yu He seemed to hear such a voice.
…………
"President ......"
The girl looked at the back not far away, and a shallow smile appeared on her lips.
"Somewhat, a little weird......
"Do you want to call the police?"
"I won't pay it if I die!!"
