Chapter 1 Don't bully young people into poverty

Lin Xi's eyes widened with all his might, as if he wanted to find the shadow of the food stall owner who was still standing in front of him a second ago from the young waiter in the front row, who looked to be in his early thirties.

His Adam's apple rolled a little, and his mouth opened with difficulty.

"How much money?"

The waiter frowned, he had already reported the bill just now, but the other party didn't listen to a word.

"Sir, I promise a hundred and thirty-five dollars."

"One hundred and thirty-five yuan, you wait for a while......" Lin Xi reached out to touch the wallet in his pocket, but his movements suddenly stopped.

His pockets were empty, and what was worse was that he found that he was wearing a dirty jacket.

What's going on?

Lin Xi tried his best to control the tension in his heart, slowly lowered his head, looked at his thinner arm, and what came to his mind was actually the scene where Supreme Treasure used the moonlight treasure box to travel back 500 years ago and met Zixia Fairy in the movie "Journey to the West".

"You are my person now, if someone bullies you, report my name, from today on, my name is Pansi Daxian!"

"Pansi Great Immortal, five hundred years ago?"

After being stunned for about half a minute, Lin Xi raised his hand and slapped his face hard.

The pain can be felt, proving that this is not a dream.

But what kind of place is this, I obviously came to Hong Kong for a tour, and I was eating seafood at a food stall on Temple Street, why did I come here in a blink of an eye?

Lin Xi, who continued to maintain a bowed posture, secretly looked around from the corner of his eye, and found that this was a restaurant with a good environment, but the people sitting around him were dressed very old-fashioned, like the popular style of the eighties and nineties of the last century.

Wait a minute...... Could it be that I have crossed over, this is Hong Kong in the 80s?

In the end, a traditional newspaper on the dining table gave Lin Xi the answer.

The date on the page reads March 16, 1980, which is exactly 35 years different from the date of Lin Xi's trip to Hong Kong.

Crossing is crossing, anyway, he was a lonely person before, and he has nothing to worry about, but Lin Xi always feels that there is something wrong with the "painting style" of this era.

Soon, he found the source of this sense of disobedience.

It's still the same newspaper just now, but this time Lin Xi didn't pay attention to the date on the newspaper, but the news headline on the front page - "Bruce Lee's new film raises $2.16 million in North America, once again setting a new record for overseas sales of Hong Kong films!" 》

When he saw this, Lin Xi's eyelids couldn't help jumping, didn't Bruce Lee die unexpectedly in 1973?

Where did this new film come from?

Lin Xi's head suddenly turned into a mess, and two different memories flashed back and forth in his mind alternately, making him unable to tell which one to believe for a while.

The waiter in front of him saw Lin Xi's series of strange reactions in his eyes, and finally showed an impatient expression in his eyes.

"Sir, do you want to settle the bill?"

"Checkout?" Lin Xi raised his head, his expression was so embarrassed and embarrassed, "I'm sorry, my wallet seems to have been forgotten at home." ”

The waiter's face suddenly darkened, and he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the cash register: "We have a phone here, you can ask the family to send the money." ”

Under the watchful eye of the other party, Lin Xi had no choice but to stand up, walked to the cashier counter, picked up the phone, and dialed out according to a certain phone number in his memory.

The dial beeped for a long time without response, and the expression of the waiter standing next to Lin Xi became more and more ugly.

"No one answered." Lin Xi put down the phone and said with a wry smile to the waiter helplessly.

"Boy, you're not here for the Overlord meal, are you?" The waiter rolled up his sleeves and waved his fists as if he was ready to make a move.

Lin Xi subconsciously took two steps back, his current thin and small body was difficult to take advantage of the other party's hands.

I didn't want to retreat, but I accidentally bumped into a diner who was about to leave after settling the bill.

"Boy, you're blind!"

Before the middle-aged diner could speak, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy standing beside him shouted first, looking at his gloomy face, it was estimated that he was in a bad mood before, and Lin Xi happened to hit the muzzle of the gun, so it became an outlet for his anger.

The middle-aged diner was very dissatisfied with his son's fuss, but it was not easy to reprimand him in front of so many people, so he shifted the topic to Lin Xi.

"Okay, look at the walk in the future, don't be so reckless."

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! ”

Lin Xi turned around and apologized repeatedly, but as soon as he raised his head, he heard the other party say "huh".

The middle-aged diner looked at Lin Xi carefully, and a playful smile suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Are you the son of Lin Shu?"

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Lin Shu was the father of this body now.

"Do you know my dad?"

Lin Xi looked at the middle-aged diner and recalled it seriously, confirming that he really couldn't find the shadow of the other party in his original memory, and his heart was full of suspicions, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

"Your dad?" A slight hint of mockery flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged diner, and he replied lightly: "I know it." ”

The waiter next to him saw that the two sides knew each other, and immediately hurriedly spoke: "It just so happens that this kid has a big meal at our place, but when he checks out, he tells us that he forgot his wallet at home, this gentleman, you know his father, can you help him pay for this meal first?" ”

"No way!"

Lin Xi refused without thinking, and to his surprise, the young man who was about his age next to the middle-aged diner also said the same thing.

When Lin Xi looked at the young man's face, he turned his face to the side with a look of disgust.

"Whoever said that if you know you, you must help him pay, and we are not charitable!"

"Ah Zhen!" The middle-aged diner stopped drinking his son with some dissatisfaction, turned his head to look at the waiter and said, "I have a bit of friendship with this kid's father, and I will help him pay for how much he has eaten for this meal." ”

As soon as he heard that someone was paying, the waiter was of course happy and immediately reported the bill.

"You and your dad are in the same tune, there is wine today and drunk today, I shouldn't have talked too much, but today since I helped you pay for this meal, as an elder, I should talk about you."

The middle-aged diner's disdainful expression when talking about Lin Shu fell into Lin Xi's eyes, and he became more and more sure in his heart that this guy was definitely not the kind of friend who had a good relationship with his father.

The middle-aged diner didn't notice Lin Xi's expression, and while taking out his wallet and preparing to pay, he said to himself: "I admit it, your father used to be very talented and beautiful, and he could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year just by publishing books, and it's nothing that you often visit a high-end restaurant like this, but now it's different, I heard that your father now owes hundreds of thousands of dollars to the publisher, not to mention borrowing alcohol all day long, and even the money for getting drunk every day is helped by everyone and friends, it stands to reason that your family should have a very difficult time now, You don't want to help the family share the pressure, at least you should be sensible, this place should wait for your father to pay off all the debts in the future! You're lucky to have met me this time, but you won't be so lucky next time! ”

As he spoke, he took out two 100 Hong Kong dollars from his wallet and was about to hand them to the waiter, but the money was blocked by a hand in the middle of the road.

"Wait a minute!"

Lin Xi stopped the middle-aged diner, his eyes calm as water.

"I haven't asked for this gentleman's name yet."

"Haha, you kid is interesting, but you don't have to worry, I don't have to pay back this money." The middle-aged diner misunderstood what Lin Xi meant, and waved his hand nonchalantly.

"My dad has always taught me that I can't take money from strangers, let alone accept the other party's overtures, because you don't know what his purpose is, maybe on the surface he is helping you, but behind the scenes, maybe he wants to trick you!"

Hearing Lin Xi's words, the middle-aged diner's face suddenly became gloomy.

Before he could speak, the young man next to him pointed at Lin Xi and scolded: "What do you mean, it seems like we are begging to help you pay!" ”

"I didn't say that, you said it." Lin Xi shrugged his shoulders indifferently, but his eyes never left the middle-aged eater's face, and he was now more and more sure that there must be something wrong with this person.

"Are you sure you don't need me to pay your bills for you?" The middle-aged diner lifted his glasses and looked at Lin Xi with interest, as if he was not angry at what he had just said.

"It's just money for a meal, if you are really my father's friend, you don't need to pretend like this at all, you said so much, it can only mean that you are not friends with my father at all."

For some reason, Lin Xi's thinking became very clear at the moment, and his speech was also very organized.

A pair of eyes behind the middle-aged eater's glasses lit up, and the expression on the corner of his mouth that seemed to be smiling became more and more intense.

"Lin Shu's son, as expected, is also sharp-toothed, you didn't embarrass your father at this point, but you have to think about it carefully, do you really need me to help you pay the bill?"

Lin Xiqiang resisted the urge to agree to the other party, and said coldly: "Thank you, I will figure it out myself." ”

The middle-aged diner withdrew the bill into his wallet and pouted helplessly at the waiter.

"I want to be a good person, but unfortunately people don't appreciate it...... Ah Zhen, let's go! ”

The middle-aged diner walked out of the restaurant first, and the young man who came with him was still standing.

"I think you can beat him up first, and then call the police, and then let his drunken dad go to the police station to ransom him!"

Seeing the waiter's expression of interest after listening to the young man's construction, Lin Xi glanced at the young man very seriously and remembered his appearance.

"Boy, you'd better not do it to me in the future, or I'll make you regret what you said today!"

The young man shrugged his shoulders with disdain, unconcerned about Lin Xi's threat.

"If you want to take revenge, let's get through the current level first...... Remember, my name is Ni Zhen, and I'm waiting for you to make me regret it! ”

After saying that, the boy swaggered out of the restaurant.
