Chapter 1 Encounter is fate
Walking out of the cinema, Sean had mixed feelings. Ten years, this is the ending that I have been waiting for, alas~~!
As a patriotic person with an angry youthful atmosphere, since he came into contact with the subject of history in junior high school, he has implanted the concept of supporting domestic production in his bones. But it seems that in today's society, profit-seeking businessmen just treat people like them as fools.
When the last flame of hope in his heart was extinguished by the disappointments one by one, his blood began to cool down, maintaining a value that is beneficial to his physical and mental health. I became rational about what products I used and why I wanted to contribute to my business.
Since joining the work, he has rarely let himself go as easily as he did when he was a student, and he has swayed his youth wantonly. The grinding wheel of life has long smoothed out his sharp edges and corners, making him mature and steady. He understands that it is a kind of growth.
Exhaling a breath, Sean shook his head, suppressed the various emotions brought by the movie in his heart, adjusted his mood, looked at the bright neon signs, raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said secretly: I haven't walked well for a long time, anyway, it's still early, and it's not too far, so it's a workout after sitting for a long time.
After a dozen minutes, Sean felt a little hungry, looked around, and decided to take a few detours, cross the traffic light on the right, and go to the small restaurant next to a bank that was engaged in construction.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, the green light turned on, and he quickly crossed the road, and just walked to the open-air parking lot in front of the bank gate, an old man with white hair and a pale gold Tang costume jumped out of the green belt.
Sean braked, took a few steps back, and said, "Old man, be careful, the ground is covered with marble." β
No way, the bank, the biggest and most 'garbage' in it is money, and getting a marble open-air parking lot is a drop of dandruff on the head when washing hair.
The old man looked at Sean, smiled kindly, and said, "Young man, you are good. β
The corners of Sean's mouth twitched, send me a good person card? I don't know if I'm afraid of being falsely reminded of you subconsciously back.
"Hey, young man, my old man isn't the kind of person you think. Besides, this is the gate of the bank, although people are off duty, but the machine is not necessarily, don't you have those cameras installed everywhere now, and the lights here are so bright, you are still worried that I will really lie to you. β
Sean looked around and nodded secretly, that's right, this is the gate of the bank, and there will naturally be no shortage of various cameras, but having said that, you still have to be careful.
I snorted and said, "That, old man, you misunderstood, I didn't think about anything, just to remind you, after all, if you accidentally fall, then what, I don't mean anything else, you always wander slowly, I'll go first, I have to go to work tomorrow." β
Sean deliberately avoided the old man and was about to leave quickly, but only two steps later, the old man came to him again.
Nima, so agile, this old man can't be pretended by a young man, otherwise how could he be so sharp?
"Don't worry, young man. We met by fate, would you like to buy something? β
What? Sean's expression was very strange, what the hell is this? Could it be that this old man is really a young man in disguise, and he is also the kind of itinerant merchant who specializes in walking the streets and alleys and selling small pieces of color?
The old man ignored Sean, and quickly took it out, and there was an extra stack of books in his hand, not to mention that there were seven or eight books, and when he looked at the cover, he thought it was some lonely ancient books, but after a little closer look, it was not like that at all, it was completely the kind of assembly line product that was shoddy and shoddy in a random printing house.
Thinking about it, Sean had another doubt in his heart, although there are not many books, where is this old man hiding?
It's a pity that the old man is busy introducing his own products now, and he doesn't have time to deal with him, so naturally he won't give him an answer.
"You see, this is the top martial arts of the disciples of the legendary hypocritical bald donkey secular disciples, after learning it... This is "Six Veins Divine Sword", this is not the one you see in the novel, it Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Look at it again, "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon", like the previous one, is not in the novel, I wrote it by Li Xiuyuan's own handΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Listening to the old man's enthusiastic introduction, Sean was very helpless, interrupted him loudly, and asked, "Are you sure you are not a pirated old man?" β
"What?"
"It's nothing, I'm just..."
"You just said that you said that I was a pirate."
"You heard me wrong."
"Hmph, boy, although the old man is old, his ears are not old at all, don't try to quibble."
"Okay, hurry up, what do you want? Don't try to blackmail me, I'll be poor, and you won't get a few dollars. β
The old man stopped doing it in an instant, and said with a blowing beard and glaring: "Boy, I warn you, if you dare to say that the old man is a liar, I will be rude to you." β
Sean was also a little impatient, and said, "Okay, let's say, what do you want?" β
Glancing at the book in the old man's hand, he thought that he would simply buy one, just smoke a few packs of cigarettes and absorb less nicotine, which is harmful to the body. After a Q in his heart, Sean decided to break a little fortune to avoid trouble.
The old man, who didn't look like an old man at all, rolled his eyes and said, "Say, how much do you have for these books, I'll buy one." Say okay first, I'll buy a copy, and cash, wait for me to count. β
As he spoke, Sean quickly took out his trouser pocket, searched his coat pocket, counted the banknotes and coins in front of the old man, and said, "You see, I have just a little cash on me, a total of twenty-one and five cents." β
"Really? Don't lie to me, boy. β
"I said almost, don't be too greedy..."
"Boy, don't be so angry, you still have a coin in your pocket, I just need it."
After speaking, the old man raised his right hand, and saw an aluminum coin in front of him with two fingers in front of him.
Sean's face moved slightly, and he subconsciously reached into his pocket and touched it, and the five-cent coin that had been in his pocket since middle school was gone.
Smiling slightly, he put the twenty-one five cents in his hand back into his pocket, and said, "Are you sure?" I checked on the official website, and although my five-cent coin is more than a decade older than me, it is not worth much because there are many coins issued in the same year as it. β
"You don't understand, this money is really worthless in your hands, but in the hands of the old man, it's different, it's not something that can be bought with money at all."
As soon as he heard this, as a hardcore bookworm, Sean inevitably had thoughts flying in his heart.
"I know, but I choose to refuse, because this coin has been on me for more than ten years, and I have feelings."
"Boy, I know what you're thinking, but I lied to you, it's really useless to put this thing on you, and that's the main reason why I barter with you."
"I admit that I thought too much, but I didn't lie to you, I really have feelings for this coin, how can I say that I have been carrying it on my body for more than ten years, what do you say?"
The old man groaned for a moment and said, "Boy, how about I make a deal with you?" β
"Deal? Let's talk about it. β
