Chapter 0137: Psychological Trouble
A week later.
Officer Zhao's wound on his hand is almost healed, which means that he is about to go to work normally, and he has a lot less leisure time.
However, Officer Zhao is not stingy with the time to read the newspaper, and would rather skip meals than read it first, otherwise, he will feel unhappy.
The degree of obsession with newspapers, in the entire bureau, Officer Zhao can be said to be unparalleled.
In our time, if we want to understand the development of society and the changes in the whole world, we have to watch the news, and the medium of news is limited to newspapers and radio.
In our time, everyone's income is pitifully low, mainly because there are no jobs to supply, because our country is still in an agricultural age with very underdeveloped information.
In our society, if Officer Zhao wants to buy a radio, then he has to spend several months' salary, otherwise, he can't even buy a radio lid.
In our time, the most valuable thing is the television, although the television can watch the news, but who can afford it?
Generally speaking, only families with a fairly well-off family, such as officials, or those who have food at home (they will only buy second-hand goods at best), can afford it.
And the TV set is a rare thing in our Weijia Village, just like an airplane. So far, no one has reported that there is such a TV, and even the people of Weijia Village do not know that there is such a thing as a TV in this world.
Even radios are rare in our village of Weijia.
The reason why Officer Zhao did not buy a radio was because the cost was too high, and some news may not be available on the radio, and more importantly, the radio was also subject to regional restrictions.
For example, in a small rural village in the middle of nowhere, no signal can be received.
As for newspapers, not to mention the cheap fees, the news is still very comprehensive, a large piece of paper, no matter how much you toss, you can fill all the news. This is a big temptation for those who have a long-term habit of reading newspapers.
……
Officer Zhao woke up at about six o'clock that morning, and his family lives in a small town in our Weijia village, five kilometers away from the police station.
Despite this, Officer Zhao still insists on running to work every day and never rides a bicycle to get there.
Officer Zhao is a very self-disciplined person, and since graduating from the police academy, he has never given up exercising.
Officer Zhao is also a very stubborn person, which is especially reflected in his machismo.
His self-esteem is also very strong.
It's been autumn for a while, and although the temperature is not too high, there is still a chill in the early morning. If you don't wear it thicker, when the wind blows, you won't feel trembling.
On this morning, Officer Zhao was in a hurry, so he only wore a shirt when he went out, because he felt that at noon, if there was a big sun in the sky, he would be hot and sweaty.
And he trotted along the way, so his body naturally wouldn't be cold, and when he arrived at the police station, the whole person would be hot.
Officer Zhao trotted through two narrow alleys, and soon, when he passed the garbage factory that the town government had disposed of, he saw a dirty beggar picking up food in the garbage heap.
The beggar was about eighteen or nineteen years old, unkempt, and his hair had not been cut for about a dozen years, and was now intertwined like hemp rope.
In the slight cold wind, he was shirtless, and only a small pants on his whole body barely helped him keep out the cold.
Seeing this scene, Officer Zhao was immediately surprised.
It's not that there's anything surprising about his clothes, it's that he still doesn't act unhurried or cold in this situation.
For Officer Zhao, who still feels trembling after running for more than ten minutes now, this scene really brightens his eyes.
"My mother!" Officer Zhao couldn't help but exclaim.
At the same time, he sighed in his heart: What age is this, and there are such stupid beggars. Don't you know hot and cold? Where can I not find a ragged garment to wear?
Officer Zhao probably looked at the beggar twice, but who knows, the beggar actually laughed at Officer Zhao.
At this time, Officer Zhao couldn't help but speed up his pace and ran straight in the direction of the police station.
Originally, Officer Zhao wanted to take a detour, and the purpose was to run for a few more minutes.
In fact, Officer Zhao was not afraid of what the beggar would do to him, but he was very taboo about the sour smell of his body.
But Officer Zhao was running, and when the beggar saw that Officer Zhao was running, he chased after him with a sullen head.
Officer Zhao subconsciously glanced back at him, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Eh! Oh my God! This man is barefoot! Belch! Isn't this man really cold? ”
Officer Zhao thought so in his heart, so he hurried up his steps again.
In fact, Officer Zhao has seen beggars more than once, but most of the beggars he has seen in the past are dressed in clothes, and even on hot days, they almost all wrap themselves tightly.
However, it was the first time he had seen a naked beggar.
Especially on this cold morning, wearing an autumn windbreaker feels biting cold, not to mention not wearing anything, if it is himself, it may really take a lot of courage to do it.
"Oh my God, is this man really not cold at all? I still don't feel cold at all! Officer Zhao asked himself heartily.
At this time, the beggar ran faster, and as he ran, he kept filling the rotten apple core he had picked up into his mouth, chewing it with relish, and laughing at Officer Zhao.
"God, this man is not ordinary crazy!"
Finally, Officer Zhao raised his speed in a second, like a 100-meter sprinter, and ran towards the sparsely populated alley.
The barefoot beggar couldn't catch up with Officer Zhao after all, chased for a while, and saw that Officer Zhao was gone, so he turned back in the original direction.
When he arrived at the police station, Officer Zhao was still uneasy, and when he returned to the office, he immediately closed the door.
After he calmed down for a while, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to take the newspaper.
"Alas! I forgot what was important! Officer Zhao patted his head.
The newspaper is in the green mailbox at the entrance of the police station. To get the newspaper, Officer Zhao had to go outside again.
For Officer Zhao, in less than a month, many bizarre and strange things have happened, and most of them are strange phenomena that cannot be explained by scientific knowledge, which alone makes him doubt his life.
Excluding the "unsheep phenomenon" that has always made Officer Zhao think about it, almost all of them are strange incidents reported in the newspaper.
Although Officer Zhao did not witness the true face of the incident, he knew in his heart that what was published in the newspaper already represented the truth of the matter, and even if the incident itself might deceive people, the newspaper would never deceive people, especially the famous national daily newspaper.
"It's just psychological!"
Officer Zhao comforted himself like this.
