When he returned from work in the evening, Guo Xiang parked his car under a tree at the entrance of the alley.

The alley is relatively small and it is not easy to drive into, usually she parks her car outside, and unless there is an emergency, she will drive the car in and park it in front of her house.

After getting out of the car and walking into the alley, I suddenly heard someone in front of me shouting for help and several people scolding.

Guo Xiang looked forward, two or three gangster-like people surrounded an old man in his sixties, kicking and scolding, the old man's glasses were hit on the ground, holding his head and squatting on the ground to call for help.

"What are you doing?" Guo Xiang shouted.

"Want you to be nosy? This old man owes us money, and it is only natural that he owes us money to pay it back. One of them said viciously.

Guo Xiang frowned, "Then you can't beat people like this, he is so old, what should I do if he is killed?" ”

"Can you handle it?" The thug was unhappy, "He dragged the money and didn't pay it back, he deserved to die!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his fist and smashed it on the old man's head, Guo Xiang grabbed his hand, "If you beat me again, I'm going to call the police!" ”

The man struggled twice and didn't break away, his face changed, they were used to fighting, and they knew that Guo Xiang had some kung fu in his hands, "Okay, look at this beauty's face today, old man, we'll come to you again in two days, don't blame us for being polite if you don't pay back!" ”

Guo Xiang let go when he said this, and several people glanced at her and left.

"Uncle, how are you?" Guo Xiang hurriedly went to help the old man.

The old man trembled and touched his glasses, Guo Xiang hurriedly picked up the glasses and handed them to him, the glasses were already half broken, the old man put the glasses on his nose, and they almost fell off crookedly, so he had to hold them with his hands.

"Thank you, girl!" After the old man saw Guo Xiang clearly, he thanked him repeatedly.

"You're welcome!" Guo Xiang nodded, "What are you...... Those people want to blackmail you? ”

"That's not it, I do owe them money, and I can't pay ......it for a while," the old man was a little embarrassed.

"How much do you owe?" Guo Xiang couldn't help but ask curiously.

"A thousand!" The old man held out a finger.

Guo Xiang frowned, to be honest, a thousand is really not a small number of people now, I don't know what this old man wants so much money for?

But she doesn't want to ask too much in her life, and she is not a virgin, so she can't help him pay back the money?

"What about your family, let them figure it out." Guo Xiang said.

"I don't have any family." The old man smiled bitterly, "No children and no daughters. ”

The corners of Guo Xiang's mouth twitched, he was also a poor person, and said, "Where is your home?" I'll send you home. ”

"No more trouble." The old man waved his hand, "My house is in front, just a few steps away." ”

"Your house is in this alley?" Guo Xiang was surprised, the economy of being able to have a house here shouldn't be bad, right?

"My house is also in front, I have medicine at home, I will help you get some medicine by the way." Guo Xiang said.

"No, no, I'll just go home and do it myself." The old man shook his head repeatedly.

Standing against the wall, I almost knelt down with a "ouch" as soon as I wanted to take a step, probably because I was injured by a few people just now.

"Be careful!" Guo Xiang hurriedly helped the old man again, "I'll help you over." ”

Anyway, he said it was right ahead, and it shouldn't be far away.

"Thank you then!" The old man nodded, he really couldn't walk anymore, and it was better for someone to help him.

Guo Xiang helped the old man to walk forward, crossed his yard and went two rooms to the old man's house.

No wonder she hadn't seen this old man before, Guo Xiang thought to herself, she usually wouldn't go further when she got home, so she rarely met the people inside.

When he arrived at the door, the old man took out the key and opened the door, and Guo Xiang helped him step into the threshold.

The yard was a mess, full of shelves, on which were scattered some half-finished porcelain, some of which fell to the ground.

Guo Xiang didn't understand, is this still a porcelain processing factory?

"Makes you laugh." The old man was a little embarrassed to look at his messy home.

Guo Xiang found a fairly clean chair from the courtyard and brought it to the old man to sit down, "I have medicine at home, I'll go get it for you." ”

"No, it's too much trouble." The old man waved his hand again and again.

"It's okay, I'm a doctor, and I have ready-made medicine at home." Guo Xiang smiled.

The old man was a little surprised to hear that she was a doctor, "That's bothering you." ”

Guo Xiang nodded, returned home and went directly into the room to get the medicine box.

"What's wrong? Injured? Gu Zhennan saw her looking for a medicine box and hurriedly asked.

"It's not me, I just met an uncle in the alley, he was injured, and he has no family, I'll give him some medicine." Guo Xiang said, lifting the medicine box.

"I'll go with you!" Gu Zhennan said, taking the medicine box over.

The old man was still sitting in the living room, with a dim light on, and he sat there alone, looking very pitiful.

"Uncle!" Guo Xiang screamed.

"Hey, you're here? It's too much trouble for you. The old man said.

"It's okay, it's not troublesome, I'm used to it." Guo Xiang smiled.

The old man was a little surprised to see a young man following behind Guo Xiang, Guo Xiang hurriedly said: "This is my lover, come with me......"

"Trouble...... old man became more and more embarrassed.

"It's okay!" Gu Zhennan replied and put down the medicine box.

I first looked for trauma medicine and rubbed the wounds on the old man's face, and found that his glasses had been glued, and the feet of the glasses were glued with a piece of white tape, which was particularly dilapidated and should have been worn for many years.

After wiping the wound on his face, Guo Xiang rolled up the old man's pants again, and found that there was a large bruise on his ankle, so he hurriedly touched it with his hand and turned his ankle, but fortunately it should not hurt the bones, so he took bone-setting medicine to help him rub it up.

"Little girl, it's really troublesome for you......" The old man saw that Guo Xiang was not disgusted at all, and he was very embarrassed.

"It's okay, we're not neighbors, it's right to take care of each other." Guo Xiang smiled.

The old man sighed heavily, seeming melancholy.

"Uncle, who are those? How do you owe so much money? Guo Xiang couldn't help asking.

"It's a long story......," the old man sighed again, and said of his situation.

The old man's surname is Rong, his name is Rong Yunxiang, and he used to be a teacher at a university in Beijing, teaching archaeology.

In the sixties, he was sent to the countryside, and it took more than ten years for him to return, and the government also gave him back this yard.

However, when he was too old to continue teaching, he retired and now lives on a meager retirement salary.

Although he used to be a university teacher, he didn't have a job for so many years, but in fact, his retirement salary is not as much as that of other teachers, of course, it is normally enough for him to use alone.

However, because of his profession, he has always had a hobby of collecting cultural relics, and over the years in the countryside he saw good things to collect, and the only little money he spent on it.
