Chapter 13 Turning Stones into Gold

The bell impatiently shook off the young man's hand, turned around and took out a golden ingot from his pocket, smashed it directly into the little second-hand, and said, "Here you go." ”

The young man took the golden ingot, felt very curious, and kept staring at the gold ingot, and soon his mood changed, and he said angrily: "Sister, don't play, are you too deep into the play, take a prop out, and wear this skirt, people who don't know really think you have a nervous problem." ”

"What? Do you have a problem with your eyes, this is obviously a gold ingot, it is worth a lot of money, do you want it, if you don't want it, return it to me. ”

The bell was about to step forward to take the ingots back, the young man directly retracted his hand, looked at the ingots in his hand again, and took a bite with his teeth, and found that he could bite slightly, and then his complexion changed, and said: "Hehe, I'm really sorry, do you give me the whole ingot?" ”

The bell ignored him, and left in a frustrated turn. The young man chased after him and greeted him, took out some bits and pieces of money from his pocket, both red and green, but not much, and stuffed them directly in front of her and stuffed them into the hand of the bell, and said, "Come, this is looking for your change, and I only have so much on me." ”

Bell lowered his brows and looked at the crumpled banknotes in his hand, and replied impatiently: "No need to look for it, this girl is not short of money at all, and I will give it to you." ”

But the young man was very reluctant, and insisted on putting the money into the bell's hand, and said, "Sister, where did you come from, you can't really come here." ”

Bell ignored him, but turned and walked to the other side of the road, where there was a crossroads and a clothing store next to it, with a lot of gorgeous clothes.

Naturally, she had never seen these clothes bells, and she was curious for a moment, so she turned around and walked into the clothing store.

When the bell came to this shop, almost all of them became the focus of attention, and the people who were buying clothes inside, or the cashier, all locked their eyes on her.

When the shopping guide saw her coming, he immediately stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Hello, girl, do you want to buy a dress, there are any styles of clothes in our store, you can take a look." ”

The bell smiled slightly, turned around and walked into an area dedicated to selling suits, stepped forward directly and took off a suitable size, held it in his hand and turned around like a door.

When he came to the door, he threw a golden ingot at the cashier.

The shopping guide behind also hurriedly followed, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait, wait!" ”

After the cashier got the golden ingot, he first glanced at it, then looked up at the bell, and at the same time shouted again and again: "Security, come quickly!" ”

Three or five security guards rushed out of a corner of the clothing store, all armed with electric batons, and rushed towards the bell.

Five security guards surrounded the bell, and at this time, the cashier also followed, pointing to the bell's face and saying angrily: "It's her, grab something." ”

One of the security guards, who was full of gold teeth, wore a pair of sunglasses, patted the electric baton in his hand, blocked the bell, and said in a heavy tone: "Take it out!" ”

The bell glared at him and kicked him to the ceiling, spinning several times before rolling to the ground. The surrounding security guards were dumbfounded, their legs trembled, and they retreated to the side one by one, and no one dared to rush forward.

The cashier was also covered with cold sweat, and immediately retreated to an inconspicuous place, took out his mobile phone, and tried to call the police.

The bell didn't say a word, smiled triumphantly, and walked out of the door.

At this moment, two or three burly policemen suddenly appeared in front of her, standing in well-dressed clothes, blocking the bell's path.

The cashier in the store immediately rushed out, trembling and pointing to the back of the bell, and said urgently: "It's her, it's her, she grabs things." ”

The three policemen lowered their heads and looked at the bell solemnly, but did not speak.

At this moment, the young man who sold fritters before rushed into the gate in a panic, got in front of the three policemen in a gray manner, looked up and said politely: "Hey, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, she is my sister, and she is about to give money." ”

After saying that, the young man immediately took out some change from his belt, walked to the cashier's side, and asked with a smile: "How much, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you." ”

"Five thousand!" The cashier shook her hair and replied.

"What's five thousand?" The young man looked back and smiled at the bell and said, "Then let's not buy it." ”

At the same time, the security guards on the side immediately turned around and walked back calmly. After the sunglasses security guard got up from the ground in embarrassment, he also bowed his head and walked back.

"Stop!" Of the three policemen before, one of the tall and sturdy stretched out his hand to the security guard.

The security guard in sunglasses had to stop and straighten his collar. The three policemen immediately rushed forward, surrounded him, and held him down by the shoulder.

The security guard in sunglasses said with a smile on his face: "Hehe, is there anything wrong with the police comrade?" ”

The tall policeman held his right shoulder on the one hand, and at the same time snatched the electric baton from his waist with the other hand, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and found that it was the police electric baton, so he asked, "Where did it come from?" ”

"That's it." The sunglasses security guard's voice suddenly became a little low, and the sunglasses on his eyes slipped diagonally from the tip of his nose and fell to the ground.

"Do you still have it?" The tall policeman asked again in a stern tone.

The security guard shook his head and said, "It's gone, it's gone." ”

"What did you buy it for?"

"Defend yourself."

As soon as the voice fell, the mobile phone in the policeman's pocket suddenly rang, and he immediately took it out and pressed the connect button, until there was a voice from the other end of the number, he hesitated for two seconds, and then his mouth came to the earpiece, and said, "What?" Criminals tracked? Okay, I'll come right over. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he immediately hung up the phone. Turning around and looking back at the security guard, he said in a serious voice: "This time I warn you, and next time I will carry this illegal device at will and arrest you directly." ”

After putting the mobile phone in his pocket, he put the police electric baton in a white transparent pocket, turned back to another policeman and said, "Punish him with two hundred." ”

The sunglasses security guard nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you, thank you!" He hurriedly took out two hundred yuan from his trouser pocket and handed it to the police with both hands.

After giving him a warning leaflet, the three policemen hurriedly turned around and ran out of the shop.

At this time, the sunglasses security guard pinched a handful of sweat, bent down to pick up his broken sunglasses from the ground, and continued to wear them on his head.

When the female cashier saw this, she was so nervous that she immediately chased after her, and shouted at the back of the policeman: "Comrade policeman, wait a minute, there are still bad people robbing things here." ”

I don't know if the three policemen didn't hear it, or if there was a very important urgent matter that needed to be dealt with immediately, they didn't turn around, they hurriedly ran to the police car, and immediately drove away.

The bell, who was standing at the door, put the suit on his shoulder, took out three golden ingots from his sleeve, threw them at the feet of the female cashier, and said, "Pick it up and see if it's gold." ”

The female cashier was stunned for a while, looked at the three shiny golden ingots under her feet, bent down to pick them up, put them to her mouth and took a bite lightly, and then took out a lighter and wrapped it in white paper and burned it, and found that it was indeed gold, and it weighed several catties just by hand.

His complexion suddenly changed, and he smiled at the bell and said, "Hey, this lady, this is gold, yes, but our store has never received it like this, and it always feels awkward." ”

The young man selling fritters on the side was a little overwhelmed, and at the same time became arrogant, with his hands on his waist, he glared and said angrily: "Hey, what's the matter with you woman, didn't people give you money?" You can always take away the suit, right? ”

The female cashier nodded with a polite smile and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you are right, then I will accept it all?" ”

"It's all for you." Bell squinted, turned and walked out of the shop.

The young man sighed and followed.

At this moment, the female cashier looked down at the golden ingots in her hand with a smile, and her demeanor changed, only to realize that what ingots she was holding in her hand were black stones.

The female cashier's tears were about to flow out, and she hurriedly crutched her high heels, swayed and rushed out of the gate, looking for the back of the bell leaving on the street, and shouted in tears: "Liar, liar, there are liars, come on, I've been deceived, Mom, what can I do." ”

And the bell had already walked into a small alley, walking, suddenly turned around, looked at the young man who followed closely, and replied helplessly: "You don't sell your fritters, what are you always following me?" ”

The young man also looked uneasy, and after stopping, he took the fragmentary banknotes in his hand, some of which were five cents and one piece, handed them to the bell with both hands, and said, "I know that the gold ingots you just gave are worth at least several thousand yuan, although this money is not much, but I still want to find you, I hope you can accept it." ”

Bell smiled, stretched out his palm, and said to the fritter guy, "Bring the ingots." ”

When the young man heard this, his face turned a little blue, he trembled for a while, and said in a low voice: "Sister, in fact, I am also poor, it was originally the money of a fritter, but I am really poor, you can give me the gold ingots." ”

"If you are told to bring it, you will bring it, why are you talking so much nonsense?" The bell was visibly unhappy, and his tone became extremely heavy.

The young man pondered for a moment, didn't speak for several seconds, shook his head slightly, slowly took out the gold ingots from his pocket, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and without looking, he returned the bell.

The bell reached out and took the gold ingot, but the palm of his hand was not withdrawn for a long time, but he just said, "Look up and see what I am holding in my hand now." ”

The young man slowly raised his head, opened his eyes, shifted his gaze to the palm of the bell's hand, and was surprised to find that what he had taken out of his pocket before was no longer a gold ingot, but a black stone.

This time, the young man couldn't say a word anymore.

The bell threw the stone in his hand on the ground, stretched out his other hand, and said to the young man, "Give me the paper money in your hand again." ”

The young man clenched the fragmentary banknote in his hand, took a step back, and said hurriedly: "What are you doing?" It's my money. ”

"If you want to bring it, you can bring it, what are you doing with so much nonsense, and I don't want you."

"Oh, okay." The fritter guy's voice was so low that he could barely hear it.

The bell snatched the banknote in his hand with one hand, held it tightly in the palm of his hand, and blew hot air into it, and when he opened it, the change of five cents a piece before turned into red hundred-dollar bills one by one, a thick stack, and there were dozens of them.

The bell took a step forward, handed it to the fritter guy, and said, "Take it, the money won't change." ”

The young man's eyes lit up, he took the big bills with both hands, held them in his arms, and was so excited that he couldn't say a word, and after a long time, he raised his head and hurriedly said: "Thank you, thank you, great good man, I won't forget"

The young man was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly stopped. Because the bell had already disappeared in front of his eyes, the whole alley suddenly seemed extraordinarily silent.

After the guy put the banknotes in his pocket, the whole purse looked bulging. When I walked out of the alley, in order to prevent the money from falling, my left hand never left my pocket and was stuck in my pants pocket.

When I returned to the stall before, I found that the fritter truck I was using for a living had been pushed away, and there were black mimeographs left on the ground.

The young man sighed again and again, bowed his head and said to himself: "Hey, why are you so unlucky, it's really unlucky." ”

As soon as he turned around, several unscrupulous young men surrounded him on all sides, shirtless, with a green dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right. All the ion perm, the green of the flower of the hair flower. They all had half-burning cigarettes in their mouths.

One of them, armed with a knife, walked up behind the young man's back, put the knife around his neck, and threatened: "Take out all the money on your body." ”

Immediately afterwards, three young men also walked in front of him, all with a knife in their hands, and they pressed over step by step, surrounding the young man.

The guy realized that something was wrong, looked back, and said in a panicked voice: "Big brothers, I don't have any money." ”

"Less nonsense, Lao Tzu just saw it, do you want money or death?" The red-haired mule went up and slapped him in the face.

The guy was immediately angry, went up and gave him a backhand slap, and said, "I'll you!" He pushed the two young men next to him away with one hand, rushed out of the crowd and ran over.

After being slapped, the red-haired young man covered his face and lowered his head and screamed. The two young men beside him reacted quickly, turned around and chased after them.

The guy looked back as he ran, and accidentally tripped over the pried manhole cover and fell to the ground. After the two young men behind him caught up, they stabbed him twice in the buttocks, and blood flowed all over the ground.

A young man went up and reached into his trouser pocket, and the young man wanted to get up to stop him, but it was too late, and the money had already been touched.

After snatching the money, the two young men turned around and fled towards the intersection.

The guy was already an elk with a stump leg at the moment, and he couldn't get up no matter how he climbed, he reached out and touched the air in front of him, and said vaguely: "My money!" My money. ”

The two young men had already run away, and they couldn't see their backs. The guy was about to lose consciousness, and the blood was flowing more and more, and the pedestrians on the side of the road saw it and deliberately avoided it one by one.

When one of the passers-by saw it, he took out his mobile phone and took a picture of it. The picture and text were sent to the buddy circle, with the content as: "There is a person lying on the street bleeding non-stop, who will help him." ”

After that, he hid in another corner to play with his phone.

A police car with a siren suddenly flashed on the street, and three policemen rushed out below, the three who were in the shop before, came here to look at the guy, and one of them went up to help him up, and asked, "What's wrong?" Did something happen? ”

The guy was about to lose his breath, and he replied without the next sentence: "Money, my money." ”

The three policemen seemed to understand what the young man meant, so they asked in unison, "Which direction did you run?" ”

The guy stretched out his hand and pointed to the intersection in front of him, and said, "That's there." ”

A police officer quickly called the emergency number on his mobile phone and began calling an ambulance. The other two returned to the car and drove around in the police car to look for the delinquent youths from before, although they didn't know what to do, they still relied on their professional discernment skills to look for the fleeing suspicious characters on the street.

The policeman saw that the young man's injuries were not serious, but he was bleeding profusely, so he tore his shirt from the police uniform, tore it into a bandage, and made a simple bandage for the young man.

After about a few minutes, the ambulance arrived at its destination, and a doctor and two nurses got out of the car, carried the young man in the pool of blood on a stretcher, and sent him back to the ambulance.

But the guy refused to get into the car, and he rolled under the stretcher, and kept shouting: "Money, my money, my money is lost." ”

The doctor couldn't do anything about him, and he didn't know what to do when he stood aside.

At this time, there were more and more passers-by who came around, and some people who were deliberately avoiding before all came over at this moment.

Soon after, three or four police cars came one after another, followed by a car, a man and a woman got out of the car, the man was carrying a camera, and the woman was holding a microphone, as if they had come to the scene to collect information.

But the man and the woman were stopped by the police who arrived at the scene, and the woman was not at all happy and insisted on breaking in.

Soon the police car from before also drove back, followed by an armed car. After the police car stopped, the policeman walked out of it, took the stack of dark coins in his hand, handed it to the guy, and asked, "This is yours, right?" ”

The young man stood up in a daze, took the thick stack of dark coins, and replied: "No, it's not mine, mine is money, it's banknotes, not dark coins." ”

"Let's go to the hospital for treatment temporarily, and then go back with us to cooperate with the investigation."

After that, several police cars drove away, and the armed car behind followed closely behind, and the prisoners in the car were the delinquent youths from before.

At this time, the surrounding passers-by dispersed one by one, and the two nurses carried the guy to the stretcher, but the guy was still unwilling, and finally sent him to the hospital after repeated dissuasion.

After coming to the hospital, the examination found that the guy was seriously injured and could not stand up for at least a month, and needed to be hospitalized. But the guy has no money, and he has no relatives at home, and now he can't even afford to pay for the medical expenses for the bandage.

The doctor had to ask him to find a way to contact his relatives as much as possible, but the young man was still lying on the hospital bed, never opening his mouth, and when he woke up, he always said: "Money, money, my money." ”

At this moment, the door of the ward was suddenly opened, and a man and a woman walked in, the woman held the microphone in her hand, walked to the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and asked with the microphone: "Hello, friend, I am a journalist." ”

The guy ignored it, and kept reading, "Money, money, my money." ”

The female reporter really had no choice but to say to him: "If you are willing to accept an interview with us, we can give you a sum of money." ”

As soon as the young man heard this, his brain suddenly woke up for most of the time, and he turned back to the reporter and said, "What? You say you're going to give me money? When? ”

"Give now, give now, how much do you need?" When the female reporter asked this, the man next to him had already pointed the camera at his face.

The female reporter's microphone slowly reached his mouth.

The young man replied, "Yes, it seems that there are thousands of dollars, and they are all lost." ”

The female reporter took the microphone and continued to ask, "Is it?" It is said that there was a mysterious woman at that time, who would do light work, and knocked several passers-by to the ground at that time, have you seen this scene with your own eyes? ”

The guy suddenly raised his eyebrows, stretched out a hand at him, and replied with an ugly face: "Didn't you say that you were going to give me money?" What about money? ”

"As long as you cooperate with us, we'll give you money when we're done, do you think that's good?"

"Not good, you need to give it to me now."

The young man's voice was louder, and several people in the surrounding hospital beds were noisy, and they all got up and accused him. The female reporter had no choice but to walk out of the ward for the time being.

Less than an hour later, the doctor came in and told the guy that the money for hospitalization and treatment had been paid off, and that the guy could recuperate in the hospital with peace of mind.

But the guy didn't seem to care at all, he always had a stiff demeanor, and moved his mouth slightly, "Why didn't I have thousands of dollars, where did I go?" ”

The doctor shook his head again and again, sighed, and turned and walked out of the room.

The old woman on a hospital bed next to her turned back to the young man and said, "Young man, did you lose the money, in fact, this money is something outside the body, you don't bring it in life, you don't bring it in death, if you have a thousand yuan and you won't be happy, then you won't be happy even if you have a million, and at that time, there will be more troubles to control you." ”

The guy turned his head slightly and asked, "Then do you have a million?" ”

The old woman picked up a pack of cigarettes from the table, took out one and put it in her mouth, lit it with a lighter and spit out the circles in her eyes, then slowly shook her head and said, "Of course not!" ”

"Do you have a thousand, then?"

The old woman smoked a cigarette and touched the pocket of her clothes, smiled very casually, and said, "I can't hide it, young man, I have ten yuan in my pocket now." ”

To be continued
