Chapter 9: You Recognize the Wrong Person
Ling Nan didn't have the money to apply for a job, and even if he found a job, it would be impossible for him to pay off such a large debt quickly, and it would be impossible for him to complete his revenge, let alone endure the pain of not eating, drinking, and having no place to live for a month.
His clothes are dirty now, he doesn't have the money to change into decent clothes, and every penny he begs for is a sign of his pride.
The self-esteem has been sold, does he still need it? Need decent clothes for begging?
Do you have decent clothes and think you're amazing?
Did you earn that dress yourself? How much do you pay for your decency?
Ling Nan has nothing!
This is the tragic reality he faces. It's cruel and helpless!
But what can he do? This was not what he wanted, but fate played a big joke on him, and he was subjected to it.
There were tears in his eyes, but blood in his heart.
If you want to get a return, you have to pay, even if he is begging now, it is also a kind of giving, he is not only paying dignity, face, but also from the spiritual stimulation and destruction, in this regard, only endure is the biggest winner, learn to endure will become strong, endure it to defeat yourself, is victory.
Among the people who came and went, some people with good intentions noticed Ling Nan's depressed expression and tears, with a crying voice.
The sound of begging "good people help" came out, and from time to time, one by one, banknotes were thrown into the cardboard box, and he sobbed, his head like a chicken, and said the words "thank you, thank you".
For the next month or so, Ling Nan kept changing places for begging, and his begging experience became more and more proficient. And he no longer lowered his head to face the strange stares of people who came and went.
Occasionally, he would raise his head and look at the comings and goings, all kinds of people hurrying by, turning a blind eye, or like a well-dressed gentleman, or like a civilized and literate face.
He felt that there was nothing unpleasant about his behavior, but only a temporary act forced by life.
However, an accident had to make him bow his head again.
On this day, he routinely came to the gate of a large shopping mall to beg, and when it was close to noon, a pair of black high heels stood in front of his cardboard box, taking money out of his bag.
Just as the high heels were about to throw money into the cardboard box, the eyes of the high heels met Ling Nan's, and both sides were stunned for a moment.
"Ling Nan? Are you Ling Nan? ”
The high heels were stunned and stunned, she didn't expect Ling Nan to embark on such a path.
Ling Nan was also stunned for a moment, he hurriedly lowered his head: "Girl, you recognize the wrong person, I am not the person you said." ”
High heels approached Ling Nan and pushed his forehead: "You are Ling Nan, what's wrong with you?" How to do this? ”
Ling Nan stood up with his head down, picked up the cardboard box and the number card and said, "I'm sorry girl, you recognized the wrong person"
After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.
Standing there in high heels and looking at Ling Nan's distant back, she confirmed that the person, the young man who was begging, was her classmate Ling Nan.
When they met in this situation, he really had no face to face, standing there, she wanted to call him, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
How could Ling Nan not know that "high heels"?
That's exactly what he likes, and Hong Juan, the beautiful female classmate in the university who is so close to her.
Although in his heart, his current behavior no longer cares whether he is ashamed or not, but in his current situation, he really does not dare to face this familiar person, so he can only deny and leave.
He moved on from a different place.
In the afternoon, his business suddenly picked up, and several pairs of high heels and men's casual shoes appeared in front of him.
He lowered his head and did not dare to look at the person who came by, because he felt that he was a beggar, and there was no way to face him directly to the person who gave alms, and this was natural inequality.
Especially after such a long time of begging experience, he felt that he had no face at this time, because face could not be exchanged for the money he needed, only shameless, the begging money was continuously thrown into the broken cardboard box in front of him.
For the current him, only making money is the most real, is the most face-saving, he can't live without money, what kind of face is there to talk about?
But it was absolutely unusual for someone to suddenly throw money so neatly.
This made Ling Nan feel very strange, and it was different from the law of alms given by people in the past.
Ling Nan thought that the people in front of him must have been notified by Hong Juan in the morning to look for him, they stood there without a single person talking, and each of the six people threw one or two fifty yuan bills into the cardboard box.
He knew in his heart that this must be someone who knew him or someone he was familiar with, and he didn't dare to look up at them, but his eyes were already misty, and he wiped his tears and thanked them repeatedly.
When the people were gone, he secretly glanced at the backs of the six departing figures, which were his classmates.
He thought about it, they didn't want to embarrass him in front of him, they just saw it and gave him a little help as much as they could.
And at this time, on this occasion, it is obviously inappropriate to ask a beggar classmate why he is so down, so they can only do it silently and leave silently.
It turned out that Hong Juan was very surprised when she found out that Ling Nan was begging in the morning, so she hurriedly called a few classmates who had been relatively close to Ling Nan in the past. She didn't mention her name, saying that a classmate was in trouble and needed help, and she hoped that everyone would bring some money and gather somewhere at some o'clock. Of course, the reason why Hong Juan did this to Ling Nan was only out of pity for Ling Nan.
Hong Juan notified more than 20 people, and there were a few people she didn't notify, including Qin Xiaoya, who were all people she didn't like to look at.
However, only six of the people who notified agreed to agree, and everyone made an appointment to meet at the place, but Hong Juan found that Ling Nan did not show up at the begging place, and everyone began to look for it.
In this process, Hong Juan told everyone that Ling Nan must have been forced to do this, and there was something unspeakable.
If you see him, he will definitely refuse, he will not accept it, and he will definitely run away. Therefore, everyone must not disturb him and just throw the money in front of him.
Sure enough, several people found Ling Nan at the intersection of a large supermarket.
The six men and women who left walked slowly, discussing: "You see, that's Ling Nan. ”
"Yes, I know that his family is in great trouble, his father is dead, his mother is missing, and his house is confiscated."
"Hey, I heard that there are still people blocking the door to take care of Ling Nan's debts."
"Really? That Ling Nan is too miserable, not only does he have nothing but he has to repay his debts, isn't he forcing people to a dead end? ”
"Alas, no one can do anything about it."
Although Hong Juan's kind thoughts flashed at this time, she didn't want to help Ling Nan completely. She's just giving a little charity from a pitiful point of view. even silently drew an end to Ling Nan's past in his heart.
Although Ling Nan didn't hear these discussions, he also felt a little embarrassed.
He knew that if the matter of begging was spread by his classmates, it would definitely become a big joke.
But who can understand his suffering?
This incident forced him to leave the town and go to other places.
He didn't want to meet acquaintances in this state, and there would be embarrassing things happening.
After a few more days, he felt that acquaintances were still passing by, or someone was watching him from afar, and even when he finished work, it seemed as if he had been followed to the abandoned newsstand, his temporary residence.
Being followed by possible acquaintances made Ling Nan a little apprehensive, and he made up his mind to leave the town.
