Chapter Eighty-Five: The Loan Shark Who Came to the Door
The house is very simple, less than ten square meters of the house is crowded with all kinds of things: stoves, wooden beds, wooden tables, wooden benches, clothes and other miscellaneous items. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info can be described as a sparrow, although small, all five organs.
The most striking thing is an old man lying on a wooden bed. Her body was so thin that she could even see the bones with the naked eye in some places, which was terrifying; Coupled with the fact that her eye sockets are deeply sunken and her eyes are closed like a black hole in space, people can't help but take a few steps back.
Hearing that there was movement, the old man opened his eyes with difficulty and spit out two words with difficulty: "Who...... Yes? ”
Zhang Bin walked up to the old man's ear and whispered to him that her friend was visiting, and she barely managed to squeeze out a smile, closed her eyes and continued to rest.
Without waiting for Zhou Haobin to ask, Zhang Bin muttered: "Lying on the hospital bed is my mother, who became like this a few years ago because of ALS. ”
Sure enough, it was ALS, and Zhou Haobin's heart was dark. ALS, also known as motor neuron disease, is the death penalty for ALS. The whole person seemed to be frozen, from the atrophy of his hands and feet, to the inability to speak, to the immobility, until he died, even though his consciousness was still clear.
ALS is simply incurable at today's medical level, and even if you insist on taking medication to prolong a certain life cycle, it will cost a huge amount. Looking at Zhang Bin's family background, probably the purpose of secretly hiding equipment is to buy medicine for her mother?
With a sigh, Zhou Haobin spoke: "Shooter, why don't you tell us the situation?" ”
"I ...... I'm really sorry. Zhang Bin's first sentence made Zhou Haobin shake his head, and he was embarrassed. At some point, some people know that they need something urgently, but they dare not speak up because they are embarrassed or afraid, and in the end they regret it. It's not a bad thing to be polite and humble, but it's also time to be clear about the occasion and understand your situation.
"And where do you get the money for your medicine?"
"Find ...... Loan sharks borrowed. ”
"......" Zhou Haobin was silent, he dared to borrow money from loan sharks in this situation, Zhang Bin wanted to take his life.
"Boss, you must be thinking I don't have to, right?"
Zhou Haobin nodded, the gang of guys who borrowed loan sharks to chase down debts can be said to be not afraid of heaven and earth. What's more, in these unattended areas, it is no wonder that the surrounding villagers avoid Zhang Bin.
Zhang Bin shook his head regretfully and said, "Someone told me that ALS can be treated. I believed......"
It's over, Zhou Haobin said in his heart, he had already guessed what would happen next. Tell Zhang Bin that ALS can be treated, and he will definitely disappear after taking the money, and at most prescribe some medicines such as common cold medicine. If he can treat ALS, why not promote it throughout the country? Why don't you win the Nobel Prize in Medicine?
Sure enough, what Zhang Bin said next was exactly the same as Zhou Haobin thought. He choked up and said, "Boss, I know ALS can't be treated, but I don't want to, I don't want to watch my mother leave." As long as there is a way, I ...... are willing to try. ”
"Shooter, why are you like this?" Compared with Zhang Bin, Zhou Haobin feels that he is much happier. Isn't it satisfying to have both parents alive, a prosperous life, and a reliable brother by your side?
"Boss, you don't understand. For twenty-seven years, I didn't know who my father was, only my mother was always with me. From elementary school to university, and even to the first few years of work, I didn't have a single friend around me who either laughed at me or bullied me......"
Perhaps the first time Zhang Bin met someone who treated him as a friend, his conversation box suddenly opened, and he kept spitting out bitter water. Tears slipped down his face, and the sadness he had endured alone for a long time was completely vented at this moment.
Zhou Haobin quietly listened to Zhang Bin's words before asking Xiao Fan: "Xiao Fan, do you have a way to treat ALS?" ”
"It's not that hard." Xiao Fan's words made Zhou Haobin happy first, but he suddenly changed his words and complained: "Ke Haobin, when will you go to Qing Bar to play?" ”
Zhou Haobin couldn't cry or laugh, he still wanted to play at this time.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" on the wooden door. Zhou Haobin turned around in surprise, only to see that the wooden door was forcibly knocked open, and many people squeezed in from outside. Everyone is burly, wearing a black suit, sunglasses, arm tattoos, and a sharp weapon, and it is clear at a glance that it is a loan shark who has come to the door.
"What era are they still dressed like this, for fear that others don't know that they are in the underworld." Zhou Haobin said disdainfully.
"They love to pretend, don't you give it?" Xiao Fan smiled.
A short and fat man walked out of the crowd, took a cigarette in his mouth, shook the sharp weapon in his hand, and said fiercely: "Zhang Bin, the last thirty days have been given to you, have you got the money?" ”
Without waiting for Zhang Bin to answer, Zhou Haobin stood up suddenly: "How much does he owe you?" ”
"Yo, Zhang Bin, did you still find a helper?" The fat man lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, looked Zhou Haobin up and down in a hurry, and said disdainfully: "Can you afford it?" He owes us 2.8 million. ”
"2.8 million?" Zhang Bin was taken aback, "I won't just borrow 400,000 from you, it was only 650,000 last month!" ”
"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, our last interest collection mechanism has been changed, 5% a day, and exactly 2.8 million in a month." The fat man smiled confidently, and his arrogant words obviously didn't put Zhou Haobin in his eyes. He firmly believed that there would not be many capable people in such poor places, and at most there would be some wealth. It's better to have money, he can extort a lot, anyway, there are a lot of them.
Zhou Haobin stared at the fat man coldly, he could say that he was losing 5% interest a day, and he was crazy about money.
"Well, do you have any money or not? I don't have a lot of patience, so I might be able to spare your life. ”
"Give me your bank card number."
The fat man said the card number in surprise, he didn't expect that the seemingly ordinary person in front of him could come up with a high amount of money of 2.8 million. According to his accurate sixth sense, the person who stands aside and is silent, but can give him a strong sense of crisis, is the real leader.
After receiving the funds, the fat man left with his men satisfied. Everyone else has paid off their debts, and they can't just rely on it, and they still have to have the credibility of being a loan shark.
"Boss, you ......"
"Five thousand years of wind and rain, how many dreams have been hidden......"
Suddenly, Zhou Haobin's mobile phone rang. He apologized and hurried out of the wooden door, immediately scaring away a group of onlookers. He stopped in front of a big tree that no one could see, closed his eyes: "Xiaofan, it's okay." ”
Soon, Xiao Fan's voice sounded. Zhou Haobin opened his eyes and found that there was indeed a transparent glass bottle under his feet, which contained a golden pill. According to Xiaofan, Zhang Bin's mother was able to recover within 12 hours after taking the medicine.
Turning back into Zhang Bin's house, Zhou Haobin said: "Shooter, do you believe me? ”
Zhang Bin was stunned, he didn't understand the meaning of Zhou Haobin's words, but he still nodded: "Boss, I believe in you." ”
Zhou Haobin took out the bottle and said, "This is the medicine to treat your mother, let her drink water and take it, and she will be cured after twelve hours." ”
Huang Xin's face was expressionless, since he had tried the power of Xiao Fan, coupled with the effect of the black bracelet soaked in the Chinese herbal bath, he had become numb to any item that Zhou Haobin took out. Not to mention curing a terminal illness, even if Zhou Haobin wants to destroy the earth, he believes it.
Zhang Bin is not Huang Xin, he doesn't think like this. ALS is one of the world's five major terminal diseases, and when he said that ALS could not be cured, the boss also acquiesced and did not refute it. Now the boss suddenly said that there is a cure for ALS, are you sure he's not teasing him?
After struggling inwardly for a long time, Zhang Bin still chose to believe in Zhou Haobin. No matter what, the boss who can repay his 2.8 million debts for him will definitely not choose to harm him.
Zhang Bin took the medicine with trembling hands, put it in his mother's mouth, and slowly flowed down with the warm water. It's 11:15 a.m., which means 23:15, and my mother is healed.
After taking the medicine, Zhang Bin's mother gradually fell into a deep sleep. If Zhang Bin hadn't felt his mother's heartbeat and pulse, he would have thought that the boss was harming him.
At noon and in the afternoon, the three of them spent almost all of them in silence. Zhou Haobin really regrets not bringing anything to play, Zhang Bin is really a wooden child!
In the evening, Zhou Haobin asked Xiao Fan how to take a Chinese medicine bath, but Xiao Fan replied to him: "In the wild, with me, what are you afraid of?" ”
When Zhou Haobin heard the word "wild", he suddenly felt a chill on his back, and whispered: "Xiaofan, can you change places?" "It's pitch black outside, you can't see your fingers, let him go to the bath?
"Hey, hey, hey, you're not going...... I'll do it for you and control your body, right? ”
Under Xiaofan's coercion and temptation, Zhou Haobin successfully succumbed and reluctantly lied to the two of them that he was going to make a phone call outside. As soon as he stepped out of the wooden door, he saw the steaming barrel like a star guiding the way ahead in the night.
I took off my clothes and blew a few biting cold winds in my face. The strange thing is that Zhou Haobin only felt the wind blowing, and did not feel how cold it was. Only then did he realize that after a long period of intensive training, his body had gradually become very human.
After taking a bath, Zhou Haobin wiped his body with difficulty, got dressed, and went back to lie on the floor of Zhang Bin's house, waiting for the effect to be absorbed.
Zhang Bin was not curious and asked Zhou Haobin what to do. He gradually discovers that the boss is hiding many secrets not only in the game, but also in reality. Sometimes, silence is not a bad thing.
Time gradually passed until 23:15. Zhang Bin's heartstrings tightened, and his eyes were firmly fixed on his mother on the wooden bed.
