Chapter 18: Don't Pick Up Money on the Road

But before going to the cinema, she took me to the town's home-cooked restaurant and ordered a few simple dishes, and asked for six beers in the process.

During the days I followed Granny Bai, I never drank alcohol. But I am also the age of puberty, and anyone at this age will be full of fantasies, even full of expectations, about some things after alcohol paralysis.

Especially when I think of the gray environment in the cinema, I feel restless......

"What's the matter," Liu Siya saw my embarrassment and asked, "Should you be, can't drink bar?" ”

"Who says I won't? I, I'm just not drinking well," I said, pretending to be calm and drinking three bottles with her.

But after these three beers, my whole body has begun to dizzy.

After eating, it was already nightfall, and after Liu Siya paid the bill, we left.

After only five minutes of walking, we arrived at a movie theater in town.

Looking at the dimly lit streets, the neon lights of the movie theater, illuminating a few posters on the blackboard. Several exposed women, on the poster, pose in various seductive poses.

Liu Siya pulled me straight into the movie theater, but when I was stepping on the steps, I suddenly felt that I had guessed something hard under my feet, and when I stopped and looked back, I found that there was actually a 100-yuan bill kneaded into a ball.

"Jiang Cheng, you're in luck!" When Liu Siya saw me, she lowered her head and saw it, and immediately signaled to me: "One hundred yuan, you just made a small fortune after being discharged from the hospital today, so don't pick it up quickly." ”

"But," I said hesitantly, "Granny Bai warned me that you must not pick up anything on the road, even if it is money... What's more, tonight is still half of July. ”

"Why can't you pick it up," in Liu Siya's opinion: "Why are you so timid?" As for me, I have only heard that I can pick up money, I can't eat alone, I can't carry it around, but I haven't heard that you can't pick up money on the ground. ”

I looked at the hundred-dollar bill on the ground with some confusion, and I could vaguely see a few strange lines written on it... Seriously, I really didn't plan to pick it up.

But Liu Siya kept persuading me by her side, and said that it was a big deal to pick it up, and I would buy a movie ticket later, wouldn't it be okay not to carry it around?

It was only after hearing her words that I bent down and picked up the hundred-dollar bill.

But who would have thought that after entering the cinema, two movie tickets would be 110 yuan.

I looked at the 100 yuan in my hand, and I was a little helpless... Because I can't even make up ten dollars.

Liu Siya saw my embarrassment, took the initiative to take out one hundred and one from her bag, and bought two movie tickets.

"Wait," I hurriedly pulled her, "what about the hundred?" ”

She smiled and asked me to put it in my pocket first, and when I went back, I was buying some fruit nutrition for Granny Bai... She is resting today, and the reason why she went to the hospital is to thank Granny Bai for her help, so that the hospital has stopped in the past few days, and her night shift has become quieter.

Therefore, she made a special trip to the hospital and wanted to invite Granny Bai to dinner to show her gratitude... But I didn't expect Granny Bai to go out, so she reluctantly took me with her.

Feelings invited me to dinner today, is this why? I was as desperate as a lightning strike, and my heart instantly fell into an ice cellar, and I was lost to the extreme.

But she didn't notice it at all, and I was still struggling with the money I found... She comforted me and said, it's okay, why can't you pick up the money, those are all adults deceiving children. Don't take it seriously.

After speaking, he took my hand and helped me stuff the hundred-dollar bill into my pants pocket.

Then he led me to the screening room.

On the way, she remembered to ask, "By the way, where did Granny Bai go?" ”

I replied in despair: "It seems to be doing something for the government." ”

"She also looks at public affairs?" Liu Siya asked in surprise.

"There's nothing you can't see," I sighed and said, "Those who do the white mother-in-law's line are all taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others..."

Speaking of this, I was stunned, and after half a ring: "I remember, Granny Bai said that the money on the road is the money for transshipment, and the reason why you can't pick it up is because of ......"

As soon as the words fell, the lights in the entire screening hall dimmed instantly.

Liu Siya also made a silent gesture at me, and whispered: "Okay, don't think about any money, the movie has started..."

Although I was sitting next to her, I didn't have any expectations in my heart.

Watching the movie, I felt lost in my heart. There is a kind of frustration that has not yet been confessed, and has been rejected,

Looked at the swaying figure on the screen. It seems to be a domestic horror movie... Although it was the first time I watched a movie, compared to my current loss, this movie seemed very boring.

I looked boredly at the huge screening room, with only a few or eight guests, which made it feel eerie. Gradually, in the shaking of the screen, and under the hypnosis of alcohol... I narrowed my eyes dimly.

I don't know how long it took, and there was a breeze around me, with a faint fragrance. The smell is strange, like sandalwood... The scent woke me up from the obscurity, and I saw a woman sitting quietly in front of me, and I couldn't see her in the darkness.

Even when she sat sideways, I couldn't see her face clearly, because her face was hidden in front of the shadow of her long hair.
