Chapter 133: The Begging Boy
That Uncle Chen finally passed by me, I frowned at Uncle Chen's state, shook my head, and returned to the incense shop. (No pop-up ads)
When I arrived at the second floor of the incense mounting shop, I saw that Wang Dalang had just finished the pile of blank paper in front of him.
I handed the breakfast to Wang Dalang and told Wang Dalang that he would not open the door when he had a good rest this morning, and when I came back at noon, I would bring him lunch.
Wang Dalang took the breakfast and said that he was sleepy and tired, and he was not going to open the door all day, and told me to let me have a good rest in the afternoon, and I could come to the fragrant shop tomorrow afternoon.
At this time, I remembered the place I rented, the glass in the bedroom had not been reinstalled, and then I saw that Wang Dalang was indeed tired, so I nodded in response to Wang Dalang's words, and prepared to come to the incense shop again tomorrow afternoon.
Today was Wednesday, and as soon as I arrived at the classroom, Tang Sike began to discuss with me where to go on an outing on the weekend.
I asked Tang Sike to set a place and told Tang Sike that as long as her body could fully recover on Friday, she could go wherever she wanted.
Towns Coke nodded again and again, and continued to delve into the good places for outings during this time period.
I looked at Tang Sike's serious appearance, and I couldn't help but hook the corners of my lips.
I have less than 7749 days of white paper to be enshrined in the incense shop, and if I go out on an outing this weekend, it seems that I will have to choose a closer distance.
In this way, I can guarantee that the act of offering white paper for half an hour every day will not be interrupted.
Ever since I started to worship the white paper, and I have been channeling the weather aura into the white paper every day, I have clearly felt that the fifth layer of the "Yin-Yang Technique", which I have been unable to enter, has shown signs of loosening.
Although the effect of skill improvement is not obvious, it is compared to my previous inability to improve an inch when practicing the exercises, and I am very pleasantly surprised.
At the end of class in the morning, Tang Sike and I had dinner in the school cafeteria, so we went back to the rented place, ready to go back to measure the size of the windows, and the master who was looking for glass to repair the windows.
As soon as I entered the gate of the community, I saw that on the side of the path of the community, several men were kicking a boy with their feet, and a group of people were gathered around, watching the excitement.
The man who was beaten was fifteen or sixteen years old, and his face and body were dirty. At the moment he was sitting on the ground, and in front of him, there was a piece of cardboard on which only the word begging was written.
No one tried to dissuade the men who beat the boy, even the community security guards, all gathered to the side to watch the excitement.
The boy was beaten and abused by the group, but he didn't fight back at all, but just pursed his lips tightly, forced himself to endure, and stared at the cardboard on the ground.
I have always been unsympathetic to people who have hands and feet but still beg for a living.
It's just that I don't sympathize with it and ignore it, but I won't behave as badly as those men in the community today, beating a group of beggars. (No pop-up ads)
I'm going back to the building I rented, and the boy's path is the way I have to go.
Although I don't like the men beating the boy, but when it comes to meddling, I choose to avoid it and avoid causing trouble.
After encountering the male ghost on the top floor that night, I have not seen several men chasing me and Xie Yiming in the community so far.
I'm not sure if the men who chased me and Xie Yiming that night were temporarily instigated by the male ghost, or if they were still controlled by the male ghost, and they couldn't be the focus of attention.
Just as I was about to pass the boy, a man kicked him in the chest, and the boy lay flat on the ground, blood gushing from the corner of his lips.
The onlookers exclaimed in unison, but there was no pity in their eyes, only excitement, and the men who beat the boy did not have the slightest intention of stopping.
Seeing another man, I raised my foot to continue stepping on the boy, and I kicked the man's leg open.
"Hey, come to a well-fed and supportive one, and it's up to Lao Tzu to be nosy." The man who was kicked open by me held his leg and stopped on the ground and yelled at me.
As soon as the man spoke, several of the men who beat the boy also began to denounce me for being nosy.
"This is my cousin, I said I would pick him up at the station a week ago, but I didn't pick him up. The call could not be reached, and it is estimated that the mobile phone was stolen. What, you guys are justified in beating people?! I stood beside the boy and my face turned cold.
"Say, how to calculate the medical expenses, how to say the beating." I looked at the men who were looking at each other because of my words, and continued to speak.
"None of the people present could leave, and all of them were left to testify. I remember what you guys looked like, and I wouldn't mind calling the police in a moment and letting the police sort things out for today. Some of the onlookers were ready to disperse, and the men who beat the boy in the group also had plans to run away, so I glanced around and continued to speak.
The boy who was lying on the ground sat up from the ground with his chest clutched at this time.
The boy glanced up at me, then withdrew his gaze and stared down at the ground.
"Who made him like this, and let him get rid of a begging for food, and he didn't open his mouth like a dumb person." As I spoke, a man who had beaten the boy shouted at me.
"Well, since I don't have any intention of settling this matter privately, I'll call the police now." I sneered at the shouting man and pulled my phone out of my pocket.
"Don't don't, it's easy to discuss, let's talk about how to solve it, forget it privately." At this time, the community security guard came over and stopped me from calling the police.
I glanced at the security guard of the community, but did not speak, but just made a posture of calling the police at any time.
The community security guards came out to stop it at this time, because they were afraid of losing their jobs.
Nima, as a security guard in a small community, shouldn't have let this boy in in the first place, so that the boy wouldn't have to suffer this beating. After watching the excitement, I remembered that I was derelict in my duties, why did I go earlier.
The security guard of the community pulled aside the men who had beaten the boy and muttered quietly.
I stood still and waited for the outcome of their discussions.
Not long after, the community security guard also discussed the results with the group of men who beat the boy, and compensated the boy 5,000 yuan.
"20,000, no one is missing, if it doesn't work, call the police." After listening to the words of the community security guard, my expression was undisguised mockery. Beat people like this and only lose 5,000, and those men can really open their mouths.
I offered the price, and the community security guard went to mutter to the men.
I insisted on not giving in, and finally asked the men who beat the boys to pay 20,000 yuan in cash.
In front of everyone, I naturally couldn't give the money to the boy immediately and let the boy leave the community with the money. I pulled the boy up from the ground and pulled him straight towards the building I was renting.
Behind me, there were the low curses of the men who beat the boys, saying that before beating people in the future, they had to ask first, so as not to be blackmailed.
I ignored the men's low mantras. I've liberated the boys, I've got the boys paid, I've achieved my goal, whatever they want.
I entered the house with the boy and saw Xie Yiming mopping the floor in the living room.
When the boy and I entered the room, Xie Yiming paused and continued to mop the floor, and came over to me and asked me how the boy did this.
I confessed to Xie Yiming about the experience just now.
After listening to my words, Xie Yiming did not express his opinion, but only went to his room to get his clothes, and asked the boy to go to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes first.
Seeing the boy enter the bathroom, I went back to my room and prepared to measure the size of the window. When I entered the room, I found that the windows had been repaired.
There is no need to guess, this must have been done by Xie Yiming.
I stood by the window and was stunned for a moment, deciding that I should lock my room when I went out in the future.
The boy quickly came out of the bathroom and had already changed into the clothes that Xie Yiming had brought him. Because Xie Yiming is more than 1.8 meters tall, his clothes, worn on the boy, appear too wide, and the boy is more and more thin.
When the boy came out of the bathroom, he stood at the door of the bathroom with his head bowed and a little cramped.
Xie Yiming beckoned the boy to sit on the sofa and asked the boy to talk about his experience.
I originally thought that after the boy took a shower and changed his clothes, he gave the boy 20,000 yuan and asked the boy to leave.
However, after listening to Xie Yiming's words, I did not raise any objections. After all, it's not good for a boy to beg for a living at a young age.
Listening to his experience and educating him a few words by the way, it seems that it is far better than directly giving him the money and letting him leave.
The boy sat on the couch, looked down at his toes, and began to tell about him.
The boy said that he had come to the city to find someone.
As soon as he got off the train, and before he could get out of the train station, someone came to talk to him and asked him where he was going, and the boy told him the truth, telling him where he was going.
The person who came said that he was just going to pull a machine to go to the place where the boy was going, and asked the boy if he could help him and take his car to help him.
The visitor stressed that the machine he wanted to pull was a precision instrument that could not tolerate the slightest collision.
If the boy is willing to help, it happens to kill two birds with one stone. The boy was able to save money on taxis, and he just happened to find a helper.
The boy was about to refuse, but someone came and said that his company really couldn't spare manpower at this time, and he really couldn't send him to the airport with him, so he came to the train station to try his luck, and asked the boy to help him no matter what.
The person who came said that the machine was damaged, and his salary for several months was not enough to compensate, and he sighed again and again, saying that it is not easy to live now, and when he works for others, he has to be afraid to do a job.
The boy couldn't stand the entanglement of the visitor, so he agreed to the visitor's suggestion and promised to help him.
The person who came took the boy to the bottom of a shopping mall, then called, and said into the mobile phone that he had found help, and asked people to quickly carry the machine out.
Just as the man and the boy were waiting for someone to carry the machine out, someone came to the place where they were standing and asked for directions, saying which military factory they were going to to deliver concentrated paint, and saying that they had asked countless taxi drivers, but they didn't know where the military factory was.
The man who asked the boy for help said that the other party came to him to ask for directions just to find the right person, he was originally a veteran, and the military factory belonged to the state secret unit, and ordinary people didn't know the specific location, but he knew it very well.
The person who asked for directions was naturally very happy, and asked the man who was looking for the boy's help to take him to the military factory.
The man who asked the boy for help was very embarrassed, saying that he still had work to do, and that he would be deducted from his salary if he led the way.
If the person asking for directions can sell him some of the concentrated pigment, he can consider helping.
The person who asked for directions hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed, saying that he was willing to transfer some concentrated pigments in order to thank him for leading the way.
The man who asked the boy for help couldn't help but be overjoyed, saying such things, he just happened to be able to earn some extra money, his wife was unemployed, the children were still young, and the family was in urgent need of money.
