Chapter 65: Good is not rewarded everywhere

Fruit!? It's not a good thing.

Looking at that big round apple, do you think of pesticide residues? Let's look at the oranges instead, it seems that there are some parasites, which are born in the oranges. Not to mention the watermelon bar, in this season, it must be a bulking agent; The best to look at the most coveted cherries do not need to be doubted, they are all genetically modified, and the cherries that are small and small are like hawthorns, and people are a little stunned when they look at them.

In fact, Shuai Lang rarely buys fruits, at least rarely buys this kind of out-of-season dead expensive fruits, not only fruits, since he sold drinks, he rarely drinks when he goes out, and to quench his thirst, there is almost only plain water and pure water. It's not necessarily that these things can eat the dead, but if you listen to and see too much, you can't help but feel a little weak about food. After a few steps forward, he looked back at the old man, who walked forward from the side of the street as if no one was around, leaving Shuai Lang with a playful smile, smiling Shuai Lang was very uncomfortable, but to say that the boat capsized in such a small gutter, it would be a bit underestimated Shuai Lang.

Walk a few more steps, look at the fruit stall, the stall owner is four men and two women, a total of six stalls, just turn a corner along the corner of the street, red, red, yellow, yellow, green and green fruits are placed on the rickshaw is very good-looking, a man wearing a cool hat on his chest shouted, Shuai Lang directly skipped by; The second eyeball is very bright and bright, and Shuai Lang directly skipped it, and at first glance it was a shrewd master; The third stall man is a middle-aged man, introducing the red and green nectarines with a smile, and Shuai Lang also skipped it directly, and he has nothing to do, but there must be no good goods; The fourth stall owner was only interested in attracting customers, and he didn't notice Shuai Lang...... When he couldn't decide which one to buy from, the most convenient, safest and the least trouble-free, Shuai Lang noticed that a stall at the front of the street was a woman with a curled head, in her thirties, who did not forget to pick up a drink bottle dropped by a pedestrian on the street while visiting a fruit stall...... When she turned around and stuffed it into the net pocket of the car gang, Shuai Lang noticed that there were several picks up there, and then looked at the stall, it was obviously much worse than a few big households.

Or is this the case? Shuai Lang looked at the woman, the scorching sun made her wipe the sweat on her forehead from time to time, her skin was dark, her sleeves and arms were blacker than the skin on her face, and her feet were wearing the kind of square-mouthed plastic-soled shoes that rural people had entered the village, and the true colors of working people were everywhere. I don't know if it's because of the psychological effect or something, for a moment Shuai Lang remembered the woman in the park who had a son who was not good and her husband was gone, and he didn't think much about it at this moment, and walked to the front of the stall in a few steps, the stall owner smiled and signaled, Shuai Lang glanced at the fruit on the stall and pointed: "Sister, weigh me two catties of oranges...... How much? ”

"Four pieces of a catty......" The stall owner carried the scales, Shuai Lang picked up a few at random, the scales were picked up, and the general cats were here, but Shuai Lang felt that such a simple country daughter-in-law would not be too dark...... As if he had discovered the uncertainty in Shuai Lang's eyes, the stall owner's mother smiled simply and handed the scale to Shuai Lang's eyes, and said, "Look at the two catties high...... If you add another one, you will hear that you are from Zhongzhou, right? ”

As he spoke, he picked up oranges from the stall and stuffed them into a plastic bag and handed them to Shuai Lang, listening to the accents of all fellows, he called it high and added another one to you, what else is there to say...... Shuai Lang responded with a smile and handed over ten yuan, the stall owner rummaged through the bag, picked up a brand new two-dollar note change and gave Shuai Lang a simple smile, even if it was a black face, even if it was not a moving beauty, that smile made Shuai Lang feel kind.

Carrying things, heavy, weighing seven or eight in a bag, is there any problem here. Shuai Lang looked at it while walking, and took it casually and prepared to break it open and taste it, but he was afraid that there would be no evidence for Gu Qingzhi, so he simply threw it back again, and walked a short distance, the ancient head was leaning against the guardrail on the side of the street, looking at Shuai Lang with a smile, that smile was far from the stall owner's mother, it was just a smile, Shuai Lang walked in front of him, snorted his nose, handed it over and asked: "I gave ten yuan, found two yuan, what can I see on this?" ”

Gu Qingzhi smiled but didn't answer, put the orange in his hand, took out a pen-like scale with his right hand, hung the bag on the scale, and looked handsome and fussed: "Yay? You go out with this thing? ”

"Just bought." Gu Qingzhi said with a smile, a scale, the question came: "Look, less than half a amount, a pound and nine a little more." ”

"It's not bad that I didn't use six taels of scales, among those few, I think the eldest sister is sincere, maybe she just entered the city." Shuai Lang pouted and didn't care, how could this small merchant and hawker have no problem.

Gu Qingzhi looked up at the fruit stall dozens of meters away, and then asked Shuai Lang with a smile and in a whisper: "I can see that you are still very kind in your heart, do you see that the little daughter-in-law's business is not good to take care of?" Did you see her picking up plastic bottles, which made you feel a little pity? Do you feel that you are sweaty, oily, and rustic, which makes you feel that this is a sincere person, right? Fooled, right? ”

"I said uncle, two catties are one or two pounds shorter, as for it?" Shuai Lang raised an index finger and questioned Gu Qingzhi, only thinking that Gu Tou was also a little rich, but he didn't want to worry about this matter, when he saw the old man like this, Shuai Lang disdained: "What's the matter if you are fooled, I am willing." ”

"Is it a question of one or two?" Gu Qingzhi smiled, planed the plastic bag, and under Shuai Lang's surprised gaze, he picked it up with his hand, and instantly found out the problem, took it out, and handed it directly to Shuai Lang's eyes, Shuai Lang was full of excitement, hiccup, it was rotten, the bottom of the orange was rotten as big as a finger, and it was discolored...... In an instant, Shuai Lang burped back to look at the fruit stall, threw the rotten oranges into the trash can angrily, clapped his hands and scolded: "Uncle's ...... This little lady is lacking in virtue. ”

Come to think of it, it's the one who gave you the high plus at the end of the day. Gu Qingzhi smiled with a pen scale: "Look, there are more than four taels less, and the scale is eight taels...... Haha, they all say that you are clumsy, you don't believe it. ”

"What's the matter, forget it...... I've given it to you, you can eat it. Shuai Lang clapped his hands indifferently, a little hurt, not that he felt sorry for the four taels, but that he felt that it shouldn't be like this, and his good mood was ruined, Gu Qingzhi was in good spirits, he peeled one and walked while eating, and educated Shuai Lang with a smile: "This is the prototype of the simplest deception, don't underestimate these few taels and a few dollars, the flow of people in Zhongzhou Avenue is so high, there is no problem at all in selling a few hundred catties a day, you don't feel pitiful, maybe people's income is much higher than you...... Otherwise, you say that you are being chased by the city management, and you are desperately trying to squeeze into the city, which is called driven by profit, and there is no turning back, and you will cheat a few cents when you carry the scales, telling you that it is more than enough to support your family. ”

"Forget it, can you stand up to such a long discussion?" Shuai Lang retorted, although it is a small matter, but it is like eating a little fly, it doesn't feel so good, to say that the small merchants and vendors on the street now don't all have this surname, sometimes, you see that they are chased and beaten by the chengguan, but sometimes they can do this without smoking, and it makes you feel that he deserves it.

Shuai Lang said forget it, Gu Qingzhi didn't want to forget it, he smiled and pointed at it: "Hey, don't forget it, every time these little things shine with the light of wisdom, Kou Zhong knows, this little fat man sold vegetables and harvested rags when he was a child, for example, he sold turnips, and the purchase price was five cents a catty, and when he sold it, it was also five cents a catty, except that he ate it except for the bad ones, he still made money after selling; When he took back the waste newspapers and books and sold them again, he soaked the middle, or smeared some cement, and a car could sell hundreds more, haha...... This is short of two pounds and two to play to the extreme, that is not enough, enough to achieve a career for you......... The development of wisdom throughout the ages, one is official art, the other is trickery, trickery is also known as the art of survival, in fact, all deception is developed from the common people's clever tricks...... Hey, wait, let's go in the car......"

Gu Qingzhi said, finally said that Shuai Lang was impatient, waved to Shuai Lang, stopped a taxi, Shuai Lang thought about it, got into the car stupidly, got into the car and didn't forget to remind the old man: "You pay for the car, eat all my oranges......"

……………………………………………………………… The car this time walked not close, drove for 20 minutes, stopped at the intersection of Huashan Road, got out of the car, Shuai Lang looked at this area, it seems that he has not been here much in his memory, Zhongzhou is very big after all, he may not be able to visit all the places after living for more than 20 years, Gu Qingzhi moved a little slowly, paid for the car, got out of the car and first came to expand his chest, smiled, looked at the time, but it was almost ten o'clock, Shuai Lang asked out loud: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Well, ...... there" Gu Qingzhi pointed in a direction, but it was the logo of the vegetable market in Huahuai District, and there were many people surging on a street, and when he thought it was wrong, Shuai Lang chased the old man's steps and asked: "Uncle, didn't you let me go grocery shopping, right?" What's the point of such a pediatric thing, and I won't do that thing even if I lie to people? Give a look at the difficult ones. ”

"Huh...... What to say, today's college graduates are all high-eyed, can't do big things, look down on small things, in fact, this is full of job opportunities, it depends on whether you will find it...... It's not grocery shopping, but you have to admit that in this regard, your vision is not necessarily stronger than that of a housewife, right? Gu Qingzhi pointed at it.

"yes, but I didn't want to be a housewife?" Shuai Lang discerned.

"Poorly, the insight of the world is all learning, and the so-called things are small, but they are not impossible; Although the road is close, it is not possible to reach ...... No matter how small it is......"

"Are you bothered, I'm not well-educated, right? I don't understand, can I? ”

"Don't you understand that you're still following me?"

"I actually just want to see, how many brushes do you have, curious......"

"That'...... Look, tell me what's really fake. ”

After a few steps forward, there was still some distance from the vegetable market, Gu Qingzhi stopped, pointed ahead, and was stunned with one finger, which is a commonplace thing that is difficult to distinguish between true and false: beggars.

It's not an ordinary beggar, but a little girl, a little girl in a school uniform, sixteen or seventeen years old, a minor, kneeling behind humanity, bowing her head, laying a cardboard and a lunch box in front of her, most of the pedestrians coming and going are housewives carrying food baskets, some ignore them, some ignore them after a few glances, but there is no shortage of people who throw change into the lunch box.

"It's a... Liar... Son, right? Shuai Lang whispered to Gu Qingzhi, but his voice was obviously a little uncertain.

The train station often sees a lack of hands and feet and is specially exposed to make you look at begging, and there are occasionally characters dressed like Hong Qigong in "The Condor Heroes" who dig into the garbage heap to gouge, and sometimes you can meet one or two unkempt people in the streets and alleys, or even the long-distance station, and there is no shortage of college students who pretend to be pitiful and lose all their travel expenses...... Begging is ubiquitous, but most of them are no longer for the sake of food, but for earning money.

"Go and observe and make a conclusion......," Gu Qingzhi raised his head and said quietly.

So Shuai Lang came up, this kind of look is not very common, a few steps to the little girl's side, can't see the face clearly, the head is very low, can only look at the small brush combed in the back of the head, the age is definitely not big, but I don't know if it's true or found a prop, there is a schoolbag on his back, and a few banknotes and coins have been thrown in the lunch box in front of him, the number is not large, but what caught Shuai Lang's attention more is the cardboard in front of him...... I saw that this immature handwriting was telling a poignant story: grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles, aunts, sisters, and eldest brothers passing by...... My name is so-and-so, Shen Qiu Sunying Village, people outside our village are called "Cancer Village", the whole village of forty-seven households are in tatters, not that we have to leave our hometown, now the hometown can not live in people, the mountains are bald, the land is gone, the water is black, the small paper mill made a sin, the people who run the factory have made a fortune, the people who have made a fortune have left, and all the disasters have been left to the people in the village, more than 200 people in our village have 190 people have suffered from cancer, my grandfather has liver cancer, and died two years ago; My parents are stomach cancer, my father can't get out of bed anymore, now there is only me and my mother left in the family, I have no money, I can't afford to see my parents, you kind people passing by are good, who can help me, I want to cure my parents' illness, I want to go to school......... Looking at ...... Suddenly, Shuai Lang felt an inexplicable sadness lingering in his chest, depressed, and depressed. The people around him were all sad, and the poor girl in the flower season was reduced like this, how could it not make people sigh. In whispers, they all talked about the affairs of this cancer village, and the rich people of these small factories and mines are worse than the devils, and for the locality, they are simply extinct.

But...... But...... However, in the world where this kind of liar is everywhere, people and people's hearts have been locked heavily, except for a few occasional people who threw down a piece of change of two yuan, Shuai Lang looked left and right, and the hand that reached into his pocket did not stretch out again...... yes, everyone doesn't pay, are you sorry?

Or there was still some doubt about this, Shuai Lang shouted inexplicably: "Little sister, are you really false?" How do I see you here? ”

This is a scam also!

The twelve men and women who passed by stopped and stared at the begging girl. But unexpectedly, the girl shook her head heavily, kowtowed her head to the ground, solemnly, tremblingly lined up a "Dahe Daily", which was a report on Shen Qiu's cancer village, and there were several photos of the old man next to the newspaper, and then raised her eyes, Shuai Lang was slightly stunned, it was a little girl with a yellow face and thin muscles, a minor girl, that face was so sad and pitiful, with crystal tears hanging on her long eyelashes, and her big black and white eyes were distressing, and she bowed and pointed with a childish voice: "This is my grandfather, his arms were rotten when he died, The polluted water is rotten all over the body...... This is my dad, and now I can't get out of bed, this is my mom...... Uncle, aunt, brother, who can do to save us, I want to treat my mother, I want to go to school...... I'm not a beggar, and if there is a way, my mother won't let us go out to beg for food, and I came out without telling my family, who can do it to save us...... I'm kowtowing to you......"

The voice is like a childish warbler, sad and pitiful, and two lines of rolling tears, several women who buy vegetables wiped their eyes, gently put a few large and small bills, shook their heads, sighed and left, the little girl's sentence seemed to be a catalyst, Shuai Lang was a little hesitant around these people, all in their pockets, one actually threw down a hundred yuan bill, the little girl was a little grateful, a little sad, while sobbing, while kowtowing to the pedestrian...... This situation and this scene, how can people be embarrassed? Even if it is hard-hearted, it will be touched a little, Shuai Lang wiped his sour eyes that were about to drip water, he couldn't stand it, took out his wallet, smoked a hundred yuan, and put it in the little girl's lunch box, gritted his teeth and wanted to help the girl up, but hesitated again, this girl can't raise herself when she gets it back.

Turning his head, he gritted his teeth and walked away without looking back...... There are many injustices in the world, but I am a Penghao person. For things that are beyond my power, except for a sigh, in addition to a little sympathy, I am afraid that I will not be able to do anything powerful to return to heaven. Shuai Lang gasped for a long time, lowered his head, and walked back uncomfortably.

Everything fell under Gu Qingzhi's eyes, and when Shuai Lang hurried back, and then looked at the old head with a smile, Shuai Lang frowned and glared: "Old man, didn't I say you, why let me watch this, can people stand it, how pitiful is such a little girl...... Do you have any sympathy? I've heard of this cancer village before, it's quite pitiful, 90% of the people in a village suffer from cancer, it's all made by small paper mills and small printing houses, the people are rich, and the people are guilty, what the is this called? …… If it were me, I'd set the dog on fire......"

"Hi, hi...... Don't get excited, what did I tell you to do? Gu Qingzhi asked rhetorically.

This question, Shuai Lang was stunned and silent, this save is to observe, but he didn't observe, but he lost a hundred yuan. I wanted to scratch my head, pursed my lips, and said helplessly: "Look at anything, no matter who is begging, I generally can't bear to look at it...... Besides, this girl is only so big, you see, don't everyone pay for it? ……”

"Hey, I thought you could pass several levels, but you didn't pass this level, so you didn't think it would be fake?" Gu Qingzhi stared and asked, Shuai Lang was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the girl's kneeling posture, and then thought that there was no pain in the teeth, so he couldn't say it so emotionally, and after thinking about it, he didn't believe it: "It's impossible, I've seen begging, this is not like a fake...... That cancer village is the real thing. Besides, it's not true, this man is so pitiful...... Smack......"

Moved by compassion, a little unbearable to look at it, Shuai Lang had a bitter face, I really couldn't think of a reason to support himself, but I couldn't agree with Gu Qingzhi's unmoved dignity, Gu Qingzhi looked at Shuai Lang, sighed, it was originally very serious, but when he saw Shuai Lang so amused, he said with a smile: "I didn't want to hit you, but seeing that you are stupid to this extent, I really can't help but want to remind you...... Follow me......"

Talking and turning around and walking with his hands in his hands, I don't know what this thing is going to do, Shuai Lang slowly followed a few steps away, closer, the closer he gets, the more he feels that the little girl who is kneeling for a long time does not look like a deceitful beggar, until Gu Qingzhi stands outside the crowd, Shuai Lang is reluctant to step forward and look at it again. Unexpectedly, a heart is harder than a stone, Gu Qingzhi stood in front of the stall with his hands in his hands, raised his voice and said, "Little girl, you have a lot of money in your schoolbag, right?" I seem to have seen you in Erqi Square. ”

A sentence stirred up a good thing, looking around at the ancient head, and then at the little girl who was kneeling and not moving, I don't know what was going on, Gu Qingzhi smiled and said: "I saw it more than a year ago, at that time, my grandfather died two years ago, and it has been more than a year, and this paper skin has not been changed; Hey, this photo is so familiar, isn't it cut out and remade from the interview report there, hey, you can see it? Aren't these men and women a family at all......... Hey, I said, little girl, that's pretty much it,...... The shelter is coming, and it's too late for you to leave. ”

Yay...... A few onlookers stared at the little girl who looked down, Shuai Lang noticed that there was a problem, the little girl's hair covered her forehead, others couldn't see her expression, but she raised her eyelids to see the situation in front of her; Look at the schoolbag again, it's deflated, it's just convenient to put the money begging back; Look at the shoes again, it's not right, student-style sneakers, but they are cleanly washed, and when you kneel, you see that the upper is not worn at all, then it is not a long journey to Zhongzhou, even if you come, you will not be in the mood to wash so clean; By the way, and the clothes are not right, this is like three meals that do not come after three meals, it is simply a clean and clean begging like a student.

It's too late, it's fast, Gu Qingzhi stirred up, everyone whispered, and someone also found something suspicious, the girl's hand had a certain finger and was still dyed with nails, not like a student at all. This scene is considered to be smashing the pot, at this moment, I saw that the girl's hands and feet were sharp, rubbing a roll of paper in her arms, turning around and glancing at Gu Qingzhi fiercely, turning around and leaving, almost as if she was running quickly, ignoring the accusations and scolding of the people behind her, and turned into the vegetable market in the blink of an eye, and disappeared...... "Hey, these legs and feet are so neat, it looks like a cancer village?" ”

"This little liar...... Why do you think people are like this now? ”

"Come on, there are college students at the airport to scam, what kind of ...... is this?"

“………”

Everyone condemned, but no one thought of catching up with the liar and asking what was going on, after all, there are not many people who cheat and there is not much money, and besides, there can't be a group of adults chasing children, scolding a few words and discussing, the crowd of soy sauce broke up one after another, Gu Qingzhi turned around, and couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Shuai Lang, with drooping lips, stunned eyes, and a dull expression, seemed to have made an irreparable mistake, and was stunned on the spot......
