Chapter 20: Helping the Old Man Who Fell (Big Chapter Seeks to Follow-up)

The vehicle drove under the night of Jianghai City.

In this megacity of millions of people, this car is just a drop in the ocean.

Tang Beiwei stared at the scenery outside through the car window, as if she had been cultivating for thousands of years, fleeting.

The life of mortals is short, but they live happily.

The life of a monk is long, but he is always lonely.

And she, it's the latter...

"Strange, why am I suddenly sentimental today?"

Tang Beiwei sighed secretly in her heart, and no longer thought about those troubles.

Along the way, she wanted to speak, but when she saw Xu Fan on the side, she immediately looked over with a threatening look, as if warning her not to speak.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped on the side of the road, Xu Fan took the lead in walking to the car, and saw that the woman was still sitting in it unmoved, so he called out to her: "We are here, get out of the car." ”

"Oh." Tang Beiwei responded in a flat tone, and also followed.

At the same time, I looked up at the surrounding environment, which was completely different from the previous community, with a huge square large enough to accommodate 10,000 people, a snack street next to it flashing neon lights of different colors, and people coming and going on the sidewalks beside the road.

Some have just gotten off work, some are a couple going out to visit the night market, and of course you can see three or five girlfriends coming out to play together.

"You mortals do like to be busy."

Tang Beiwei also saw such a prosperous place for the first time, mainly because there were too many people, and the noise was endless.

"It's not so much that it's lively, it's better to say that there are too many people now, and there is no place to go."

"I know there's a bubble tea shop here where the milk tea is particularly delicious, I'll take you to have a drink." Xu Fan smiled slightly.

"Milk tea?" Tang Beiwei is obviously very unfamiliar with this term.

"You'll know when you go, girls should like to drink this."

Xu Fan knew that it was useless to explain too much.

The two walked one after the other, and walked to a zebra crossing, which happened to be a red light, and they had to wait for a few minutes.

"Why don't you go?"

Tang Beiwei saw that the people around her were the same as Xu Fan, they were all standing still, bowing their heads and playing with their mobile phones and swiping videos, and a voice came from the mobile phone: "Pay attention, this man's name is Xiaoshuai..."

Such a sentence attracted the attention of several people around him, but they didn't care.

"Shhhh

Xu Fan on the side reminded her in a whisper.

Tang Beiwei: .........

At this moment, everyone's attention was attracted by another place, only to see that on the sidewalk next to the zebra crossing, an old woman in her eighties fell to the ground, and there were two overturned baskets next to her, and bags of soy milk were scattered all over the ground.

The old woman tried to get up, but she seemed to have broken her joint and couldn't get her strength, and she couldn't succeed several times.

Tang Beiwei followed her gaze and also saw this scene.

I saw many people walking by, and some people stood in place and seemed to hesitate, but no one dared to step forward to help.

She was a little surprised, turned her head to look at Xu Fan beside her, and found that although this guy also saw this scene, he didn't seem to care about it.

"Green light, let's go."

Seeing that the green light was on, Xu Fan called her.

As a result, he had just taken a few steps, but found the woman standing motionless, staring at the fallen old man.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

Tang Beiwei was speechless, and continued to stand in place and wait for five or six minutes, and the traffic lights jumped on both sides, before she spoke: "I'm curious about one thing." ”

"What?"

"I remember that when I was in the Beicang Continent, the people in a place knew each other and would help each other, but in this plane... You seem to have become apathetic. ”

Tang Shishi was confused in her heart, she was dignified and supreme, not to pity a mortal, but not to understand their practices.

When she was in the Beicang Continent, she had traveled to many places and seen many people who were sophisticated.

But in this plane, after an old man fell, there were countless Terran companions around him, but no one dared to step forward to help?

Xu Fan may have understood what she meant, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I also want to help, but I don't have the money to compensate others..."

There are less than 40,000 yuan left of the 50,000 yuan that won the lottery during the day, although it can still be earned, but it can't support this big hole after helping people.

"Do you still need to pay money to help people?"

Tang Beiwei was slightly surprised when she heard this.

"How can I say it, there are some ill-intentioned people in this world, they will pretend to fall, and if you help someone, they will think that you caused him to fall, and then they will need to pay a lot of silver."

Xu Fan thought for a while and explained to her.

"How can such a thing happen?"

Tang Beiwei Ke had never imagined this problem, because it could not be seen in the Beicang Continent.

If there is a misunderstanding, it is solved on the spot, of course, by physics.

I thought that after telling this woman about the stakes, she would leave.

As a result, the next second came directly and unexpectedly: "This seat wants to help that person, if you really need to pay for the silver then, you can help this seat to pay it." ”

She had not had any good intentions, but had heard of it for the first time, and was very curious to see how these unscrupulous people had deceited.

Xu Fan: "??! ”

By the time he reacted from the surprise of this sentence, the woman had already walked over, and he hurriedly chased after him and shouted, "... I can't help it, I can't afford it..."

Not to mention that there are only tens of thousands of dollars in your hand, even if you have millions of assets, you don't dare to support it...

On the sidewalks, there is a constant stream of people.

They passed by the fallen old man, and deliberately chose to avoid it, as if they had never seen it.

Just when the old man was lonely and helpless, a tall young girl dressed in Hanfu came to her.

The girl looked down at the old man, and without any emotion in her eyes, she bent down directly to help the old man up and sit on the public seat next to her.

"Hey, little girl... Thank you so much, it's all my fault that my legs were useless and accidentally slipped. ”

The old lady had obviously broken her leg, her body was trembling slightly, and her old face seemed to be a little haggard

She endured the pain on her body, held Tang Beiwei's little hand and kept saying words of thanks, and her cloudy eyes became moist.

Tang Beiwei: .........

She was stunned for a while, and a question popped up in her mind, because the situation was a little different from what Xu Fan said.

Didn't it mean that these people who fell had bad intentions and wanted to deceive her?

And the old lady in front of her was obviously grateful, as if it was from the heart, not a fake.

"How much money do I have to pay you... How much? ”

She frowned slightly, and her tone was very flat and inquiring.

Old Lady: "??! ”

The expression on the old lady's face suddenly stiffened, and what she wanted to say suddenly became dumb, but there was more loss in her eyes.

At this time, Xu Fan, who had just come over, after hearing the conversation between the two, he understood that this old woman should not be a slanderer, but really accidentally fell.

"You're lying to this seat?"

Her tone grew colder, and her voice sounded in Xu Fan's mind, obviously using the sound transmission technique.

"Uh... No, I didn't say just now that all the people who fell were ill-intentioned, it's because you understand that there is a problem..."

After all, helping the elderly is like a big gamble in life, betting on whether this person will blackmail you.

If you win, you'll get a sense of gratitude and a little comfort in your soul.

But if you lose the bet, it will attract countless troubles and lawsuits, and you may lose your family

So it's not that people are indifferent and don't help the elderly.

It's that everyone is tired and doesn't have the ability to gamble...

Perhaps with this help, his own family will also be doomed.

"Is that so?" Tang Beiwei was skeptical, and looked back at the old lady sitting on the bench, looking very painful.

"Little girl, could you please make a call for me? I have a number here..."

At this time, the old lady took out a piece of paper from her pocket, and there was a string of numbers on it.

"That old woman, I'll help you fight."

Xu Fan saw that Tang Shishi was confused, so he had to take out his mobile phone and walk over, and dial according to the number above.

It was the old woman's son who answered the phone, and after hearing his mother fall, he asked for the location and hurried towards it.

"Alas, there aren't many kind-hearted young people like you now."

The old lady looked at the endless stream of streets and seemed to sigh.

"By the way, grandma, why are you carrying two large baskets of soy milk this big night?"

After Xu Fan put the overturned soybean milk back into the basket, he couldn't help asking.

At this time, seeing that the old woman's mood was a little lower, she sighed: "I go to the pedestrian street every night to sell soy milk, but now people seem to like to drink drinks." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Fan was shocked, and he still came out to sell things in his eighties.

He continued, "What about your family?" Are they relieved that you will come out? ”

"My two sons have been laid off and are not in good health..."

At this point, the old woman's voice suddenly choked

"Little girl, if you take this money, you should thank you."

Without waiting for Xu Fan to answer, she took out a stack of banknotes from her trouser pocket, but most of them were change.

Only a hundred-yuan bill was taken out by her, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she handed it to Tang Beiwei in front of her.
