Chapter 10: Enlightenment
This made Bai Sheng very embarrassed, but he wanted to lend money to the woman, but he was sternly refused. made everyone laugh and scolded him for being stupid.
Bai Sheng stared at the woman hesitantly; And the woman looked at him bluntly, without the slightest regret.
Speechless for a while, Bai Sheng didn't understand what the woman was insisting on: It's all here, you just need to take the money and it's over, what else do you want to help me!
But in an instant, he realized that he was wrong, and he was seriously wrong.
A gentleman takes money and borrows it in a good way.
Bai Sheng saw the woman's embarrassed appearance, and could see that she was in urgent need of borrowing money, but if she couldn't pay something, she was unwilling to borrow her own money. This was his negligence, he never thought that a woman would pay so much attention to her image. If you don't put in the work, you won't ask for anything in return.
If she didn't let the woman do something for herself, she wouldn't want to borrow her own money.
The woman's persistence, abiding by her own opinions, implementing the idea of "not working a penny, not taking a penny", and defending her own dignity with practical actions, made Bai Sheng suddenly think about it and remember the former self.
He used to have dreams, but as he grew older, the gap between reality shattered his dreams, making him realistic, more and more focused on reality, forced by the pressure of the struggle for survival, he gave up his self little by little, gave up his dreams, in the face of the temptation of material interests, he couldn't control himself, prompting the soul to shrink and dry up day by day, and finally only left a shell, a blank self, a person who only knows how to be busy, and live for the sake of life, but as a result, he is still a person who has achieved nothing.
Without dreams, there is no soul; Without a soul, there is no ego; Without self, there is only money, only fame and fortune, and only self-deception.
Man cannot be without a soul, otherwise what is the difference between that and death?
Bai Sheng didn't want to be an insensitive person, at this moment he found his lost self, found persistence, and found what he should have and should strive to cherish.
Maybe it couldn't be changed all at once, but Bai Sheng at least understood why his heart was empty.
The woman's words enlightened Bai Sheng, but if you want her to help herself, he really has nothing to do.
After thinking for a while, Bai Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he thought of a good idea.
"I do need your help, can you come with me? I'm going to go around the corner in front and buy a book; But until now, I haven't decided which book to buy, because they are of the same type and the content is relatively close, and I hope you can help me choose the more suitable one! Slowly speaking, Bai Sheng said the destination of this trip.
For fear that the woman was worried that she was lying, Bai Sheng also deliberately pointed to that place with his finger.
The woman walked around the neighborhood and saw the bookstall too, knowing that what Bai Sheng said was not a lie, and seeing his sincerity, she was quite familiar with the front, so she slowly agreed, "Okay, I'm willing to help!" ”
She was reluctant to take the money from Bai Sheng, thinking that she would ask for money after helping, but seeing that he blindly insisted, he was a little similar to herself; And everyone laughed at him on the side, and she was embarrassed to let him continue to make a fool of himself, so she stretched out her hands and took twenty yuan stiffly.
"It's obsessive!" Seeing that the two were singing and harmonizing, as if they were flirting and scolding, Li Ming completely lost interest in the woman and swallowed a mouthful of saliva on the ground.
He is too lazy to care, he is as knowledgeable as **, it seems that he is too stingy, it is not worth it at all, the good time is still waiting for him, he has to hurry up and pick up girls, he can't waste a minute or a second.
Li Ming turned around and left, he just turned sideways, and he didn't want a figure to rush towards him, and slammed past his thigh, hitting him staggeringly, and before he could stand firmly, he fell to the side.
fell quickly, Li Ming didn't rely on it, and fell straight down; Fortunately, there is a woman in front of her, just out of breath and pulling a cushion. He directly spread his hand and grabbed at the woman's thigh.
If this is pulled by Li Ming, then it will not be half dead, the woman has been staring at Bai Sheng just now, and was about to leave with him, but she didn't pay much attention to the front of her; When she came back to her senses, Li Ming's lewd hand had already reached towards her, and even grabbed her shirt.
Killing her can't let Li Ming, a pervert, take advantage.
The woman took two steps back, but was still one step slower. With a click, the skirt she was wearing was torn off in half by Li Ming, revealing a snow-white flat lower abdomen, but fortunately, she pressed the skirt with her hand in time so that it would not be completely torn off, revealing the entire abdomen.
She was so embarrassed that she didn't pay attention to her feet, and when she stumbled, she fell backwards quickly.
It's too late, the woman is ready to fall to the ground, anyway, she is already unlucky today, and she doesn't care about this more time; It's just that for the initiator of all this, Li Ming's nasty embryo, she will not let it go easily, take a time, she will definitely make him look good, and she must pay it back a hundred times.
She already regretted sneaking out today, but the result was doomed, and she could only admit it.
She closed her eyes, she didn't want to struggle meaninglessly, she just wanted to be a beautiful woman quietly.
But just kicking her legs, she only felt a tightness in her waist, and she was hugged, although the broad arms were not very strong, but they were also vigorous, not only hugged her, did not let her fall, the man also thoughtfully covered her body with clothes to prevent her from walking naked.
Holding the woman, Bai Sheng asked with concern, "How is it, are you okay?" ”
"Ah, no, it's fine!" When she opened her eyes and looked at Bai Sheng, the woman had already guessed that it was him, because he was the only one closest to her; But suddenly being hugged by someone, she couldn't help blushing, a little shy, feeling uncomfortable, and twisted her body in a daze, which made Bai Sheng at a loss, and after helping her to stand firmly, she hurriedly let go of her hand.
The woman snatched the white garment and used it to cover her abdomen tightly.
At this moment, the small figure just now rushed towards Bai Sheng again, bumped into him, and was knocked to the ground by him like last time.
Bai Sheng saw that it was the little boy from before, and when he saw him quickly get up, pat his butt and leave, he was inevitably a little confused; Looking at the figures moving around, it seems that the little boy was deliberately pushed out.
"Ahh Li Ming not only fell to the ground, but also had something on his face, he hurriedly got up, touched it with his hand, and immediately noticed that it stinked, and quickly took out the toilet paper and wiped it off, only then did he feel better, but the smell was still there, and he had to take a shower immediately.
The clothes were already dirty, and Li Ming didn't want his handsome face to be tarnished, so he had to leave immediately.
He glared at Bai Sheng and the woman fiercely, and dropped a thousand yuan; He slid through the crowd and fled.
Looking at a turn of banknotes, the woman had no intention of taking it, she was a son who would never ask Li Ming to give alms, and kicked it away fiercely; On the contrary, he clenched his white clothes with both hands, which seemed very precious.
As soon as the money dispersed, the onlookers rushed up and snatched up the money by dividing it by two.
Bai Sheng didn't care about this, he was still suspecting that the little boy's thing was man-made. After thinking about it, he subconsciously reached out and touched his pocket, it was empty; Immediately, he felt sick all over.
Ouch,, my wallet was stolen.
For a moment, Bai Sheng's heart was cold.
The loss of the more than 2,000 yuan he had just withdrawn was still a trivial matter, but his ID card and bank card were still inside, and he lost them all at once.
At this time, he finally realized the sadness that the woman had just experienced, no one has no money, it can be said that "the sky should not be, and the earth is not spiritual".
"My wallet is gone! Did you see where that little boy had gone? Bai Sheng screamed a little stupidly, he was really anxious.
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately clenched the money in their hands, and all took a big step back, quickly moving away from Bai Sheng.
Only then did they react, the two of them had been singing double reeds from the beginning, deliberately thinking of deceiving everyone, so as to rely on the master, so as to take the opportunity to cheat money.
The money that has just arrived will not be easily taken out if you are killed.
Everyone dispersed in a hurry, and they didn't give Bai Sheng and the others a chance at all. They walked, and they shared the money.
Not only were they not fooled, but they also scolded "Young people nowadays are really not like words, they always think about empty gloves and white wolves, and they are not pragmatic at all", while walking and publicizing, warning passers-by not to think that the two of them looked kind on the outside, so they deceived them, and they just provoked a lot of people, and they were far away from Bai Sheng and the woman.
Bai Sheng and the woman could only look at each other innocently, and they didn't have time to explain at all, and they didn't have a chance, let alone explain the situation, because they understood that whatever they said now was quibbling, and passers-by would never believe it.
Bai Sheng was very annoyed, these people really had no sympathy at all, and they fell into the lower stone.
"Now that your ten dollars are useful, we really only have ten dollars left!" Just when Bai Sheng was gloomy and decadent, the woman reached out and handed twenty yuan to him.
The woman smiled sweetly, without a hint of artificiality.
She acted so indifferent, even if he took back the twenty yuan, she didn't regret reaching out.
"You might as well take it!" Bai Sheng didn't take the money, looking at the shining twenty yuan, he had never felt that these twenty yuan was so precious, so inseparable, as if it had penetrated into his bone marrow like a soul, pricking his nerves, making him painful and happy.
"Then let's go buy books now, I promise to help you pick out a good book!" With a hearty smile, the woman looked at Bai Sheng and encouraged him with a smile.
Looking at each other, Bai Sheng trusted the woman, he did not raise any objections, even if he knew that the two of them only had twenty yuan left in their hands now, he also believed that if he really wanted to buy a book, the woman would be able to help him get one.
He nodded silently in agreement.
The woman was gentle and elegant, she took the initiative to take Bai Sheng's wrist, and she didn't treat him as a stranger anymore. Even though the two only communicated for a moment, she always felt as if they had known each other for a long time, and they could be regarded as a pair of bosom friends; And Bai Sheng has found his former self through women, he has dreams, pursuits, for women, he has admiration, admiration, but more is the fit of the soul, like nature, inseparable.
Maybe when it's right, just a glance is enough.
Many things simply cannot be explained in words; But at this moment, both of them regard each other as confidants.
Bai Sheng smiled at the woman, and the two naturally understood a lot.
They were just about to leave, but they were stopped by the beggar uncle, saying that he wanted to give them money, and the two hurriedly rejected his kindness, saying that life is not easy, just let the uncle take care of himself, the two of them have hands and feet, can work by themselves, and will never starve to death.
Whether the uncle is really crippled or not, Bai Sheng and the woman don't care very much, and his ability to speak out to help is enough to show that he is a loving and righteous person, at least not as ruthless and insensitive as passers-by.
With appreciation for the uncle's selfless feelings, the two walked onto the overpass.
On the way to buy books, the two exchanged names, and they briefly introduced themselves.
Bai Sheng not only knew that the woman's name was Yu Lingyun, but also heard her say that her wallet was also stolen and wanted to squeeze into the bus, but because she had no money, she was pushed down and fell, and she fell to the end of borrowing money on the street, which made him laugh out loud, but he was beaten by Yu Lingyun's sister.
The two laughed and played like a couple. Especially because the skirt was torn, Yu Lingyun had to change into the white shirt that Bai Sheng bought, and then directly tore the skirt off the inside.
The two clothes that are exactly the same, worn on the two of them, are completely lovers' clothes, but Yu Lingyun's sister is obviously much more temperamental than Bai Sheng, which makes him a little embarrassed.
When he came to the bookshelf, Bai Sheng saw that the book seller was a young man, not an old man, and it was estimated that he would not be able to buy the same book as the original one. He asked briefly, there was no "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" at all, not even a book of the genre, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but everything was helpless.
Yu Lingyun saw that Bai Sheng was very disappointed, and hurriedly comforted him, saying that he was willing to accompany him to buy it next time, and believed that there would always be a time when he met the old man and bought the book he wanted to buy.
With a beautiful woman to accompany him, Bai Sheng immediately made a lot of fun.
In fact, just "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", Bai Sheng has read almost the same, if he really wants to buy another book, it is nothing more than to keep it as a souvenir, as for how to integrate the cross algorithm with the domino game, it is also his own business. wanted to take a shortcut, after he met Yu Lingyun, he understood that it was impossible.
People should be pragmatic and don't always think about climbing to the sky in one step.
found his old dreams, combined with reality, so that Bai Sheng understood himself more clearly, realized that everything had to be done step by step, and wanted to eagerly eat a big bun in one go, which would only choke and even choke to death.
On the road to success, there is no shortcut, there is just persistence.
Didi, suddenly, the chip in Bai Sheng's hand manifested and made a sound.
"Oops!" He wasn't ready yet, and he didn't expect the official game to start soon.
Bai Sheng was about to remind Yu Lingyun and let her go home alone; But when he looked back, he found that her figure was also slowly blurring, as if she was about to enter the game.
"Fuck you, Pitby's NPC!"
The game started suddenly, and Yu Lingyun was also pulled, which made Bai Sheng very unhappy.
Knowing the danger of deathdoms, once it comes to the official game, it will definitely be more difficult than before, and it is even more difficult to survive, and now the NPC has even pulled Yu Lingyun in, how can he not be angry, but he can't stop it, so he has to desperately protect her.
Bai Sheng stepped forward quickly, he grabbed Yu Lingyun, took her hand, and quickly disappeared from the real world with her.
