Chapter 54: The Truest Kindness
But when Zhou Ze pushed the door open, his consciousness began to blur again,
"What's the matter, no, I haven't seen Ling'er yet."
He tried his best to come to his senses, but his eyes still kept fighting,
Eventually, he closed his eyes.
......
"Whew"
A gust of cold wind blew across Zhou Ze's face, and the chill invaded his thin clothes,
Zhou Ze twitched his nose and shivered,
Then he slowly opened his eyes,
Before, there was a noisy street in front of me, and it was bustling with people passing by, and it was very lively.
Looking at the unfamiliar scene in front of him, Zhou Ze couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Where is this, didn't I just run out of the door just now, how did I get to this place?"
Just as Zhou Ze was thinking, a crisp voice came into his ears,
"Jingle Bell"
A person passed by directly and threw a coin to his side,
Zhou Ze looked at the man suspiciously, not knowing why he did this,
Then he heard the sound of a child's milk:
"Mom, this person is so pitiful, why are his clothes so torn, will it be cold?"
The woman next to her glanced at Zhou Ze in disgust, and then immediately pulled his child out of this side.
When Zhou Ze heard this, he touched his face,
His hands were full of dust,
Then he saw himself clearly through the reflection of the waterhole on the side of the road
I saw that I was dressed in tatters, and my face was also dark, as if I hadn't taken a bath for a long time.
"I'm ...... Turned into a beggar? ”
Zhou Ze laughed a little self-deprecatingly.
"But where the hell is this place, and why am I suddenly here, ......?"
A sudden chill ran in his heart.
Once again, I remembered the midnight show,
The first time I tried to escape, I almost died.
Am I still on the air,
Is everything I've just experienced an illusion?
Then why can't I see the barrage?
A series of questions lingered in Zhou Ze's heart, making him a little irritable.
"Woohoo."
A discordant voice sounded,
Zhou Ze lowered his head and touched his stomach, it seems that he still has to fill his stomach first.
But he didn't have a penny on him, and he was dressed in tatters.
It's easy to get kicked out when you enter a store.
At this time, a male voice mixed with a rustic atmosphere sounded.
"Brother, are you also a farmer who went to the city to work?"
Zhou Ze looked up,
I saw a man in army green overalls and a pair of old gloves, looking at him with a smile.
Zhou Ze was stunned, and just wanted to answer,
But his stomach crumbled again,
Seeing this, the man hurriedly said, "Brother, I think you must be hungry, or I will invite you to the restaurant in front of you for a meal." ”
Zhou Ze wanted to refuse, but his stomach kept growling, so he could only smile awkwardly and said, "Then thank you, big brother, I will definitely return the money to you." ”
"If you don't pay it back, my mother said, if you see others in trouble, you must help."
Looking at the honest man in front of him, Zhou Ze's heart felt a warmth that had not been seen for a long time.
"Thank you......"
They came to a fly house in front of them,
I ordered some food and started talking.
Through chatting with the man, I learned that the man's name is Tie Niu, and he is the eldest in the family.
At first, he worked as a farmer at home, but later because his younger siblings had to go to school, he came to the city to earn money to save for their tuition.
Zhou Ze had a good impression of Tie Niu, and chatted with him for a long time.
While chatting, I suddenly heard a cry from the street,
"Someone, help me, who will help me up?"
I saw an old man slumped on the ground, holding his leg with his hand and screaming in pain.
And before Zhou Ze could react, Tie Niu immediately dropped the dishes and chopsticks and rushed towards the old man,
"Wait for the Iron Bull," Zhou Ze shouted, and as he spoke, he also ran in that direction.
And by the time Zhou Ze arrived, Tie Niu had already helped the old man up,
"Uncle, are you alright?"
Iron Bull asked with concern.
The old man's eyes purred and rolled, revealing a strange smile,
Then he suddenly changed his face and said, "Something's wrong, and it's a big deal!" ”
Hearing this, Tie Niu also became nervous, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what happened to you, I will take you to the hospital immediately." ”
The old man looked at Tie Niu's outfit, and then said casually: "Young man, I see that you are also very hard, so I won't spare you and let me go to the hospital." In this way, you give me some money, just treat it as medical expenses, and I can go to the hospital by myself, which saves you time, doesn't it? ”
"Okay, okay, how much money do you need, uncle? I'll give it to you right away. ”
Tie Niu still said sincerely.
"20,000 is enough."
As he spoke, the old man stretched out two fingers and gestured to Tie Niu.
Tie Niu listened to the old man asking for 20,000, and he was also nervous.
He said cautiously: "Uncle, I don't have that much money now, you see how about giving you 200 first, and I will give you the rest every month." ”
"What, it's only 200, that's not good, if you're like that, then I'm going to call the police!"
The old man said loudly.
Tie Niu wanted to say something more, but Zhou Ze, who was standing on the side, couldn't hold back anymore,
"You are an old man, you are quite good at slandering people, people are kind enough to help you up, if you don't thank you, forget it, you still want to slander others, is your conscience acceptable?"
But the old man didn't think so, and just said, "Hmph, I'll leave it here today, you don't want to leave if you don't have money!" ”
"You ......"
Zhou Ze was so angry that he even wanted to slap this insatiable old man.
Seeing this, Tie Niu also hurriedly grabbed Zhou Ze, and then he said to the old man: "I'm sorry, I really don't have any money now." ”
But the old man still didn't give up.
As the crowd of onlookers increased, it also attracted the police who enforced the law, and after understanding the situation, he first evacuated the surrounding crowd, and then brought Tie Niu and the uncle into the bureau together.
And Zhou Ze was relieved that Tie Niu also went with him.
In the police station, the police asked the old man and Tie Niu in detail what happened.
The old man has always insisted that the iron bull hit himself and made him fall, but the iron bull was fragmented, and many words were answered by Zhou Ze for him,
Now this situation seems to be wrong on Zhou Ze's side.
Although the police also knew that this old man might be here to slander people, but because there was no monitoring in that place, and there was no evidence to prove it,
So in the end, under the coordination of the police, it was decided to pay the old man 5,000 yuan.
The old man walked out of the police station humming a song,
And the iron bull on the side is sad and sad,
"Well, I have to work a few more jobs."
Zhou Ze saw the old man's back, and now he can't wait to go up and slap him.
is obviously such a kind person, but he still has to be blackmailed for money.
"Iron Bull, why are you so stupid? Haven't you seen this kind of report? ”
Iron Bull just smiled innocently,
"My mother said that when you see others in difficulty, you must help. In fact, I have seen similar reports, even though he may be fake, but there are always a few that are true. And if we don't help because we are afraid of being blackmailed, those few may really miss the best opportunity to help because of our cold eyes. ”
Tie Niu's words made Zhou Ze's heart move,
What pure kindness,
In this materialistic world, it is really difficult to find such a person,
It's just hateful, why doesn't God let those with good intentions get good rewards?
At this time, Tie Niu said to Zhou Ze: "Brother, you said that you don't have a job yet, and it just so happens that there is a lack of one person on our construction site, do you want to go together?" ”
Zhou Ze immediately agreed,
Maybe it's because Zhou Ze really needs to eat here, or maybe it's because he can't rest assured that he can't get off the iron bull.
They met the old man again on the same road at night before,
"Hey, don't pretend, okay? We've all been deceived by you several times, so get up. ”
"Yes, yes, why are you an old man with such a bad mind, how many times have you deceived everyone, why do you want to lie to everyone this time?"
"I've seen through your tricks."
......
The people around him seem to have been deceived by him, knowing that this old man is a slanderer.
But this time the old man on the ground had a pained expression, he frowned, sweat running down his forehead.
But none of the people around dared to step forward and help him up.
And when you saw this scene again, you wanted to run forward again, but Zhou Ze grabbed him,
"Aren't you afraid that he will blackmail people for money here?"
"Don't be afraid!"
Iron Bull replied firmly.
Zhou Ze saw that he was so determined, and there was no way, so he said to him: "Then let's be insured this time, you go to the ambulance first, and I will help him up." ”
"Okay."
Now that the iron bull has gone away, Zhou Ze slowly came to the center of the crowd.
He looked at the old man on the ground, a little hesitant,
But in the end, I sighed,
"Well, I hope he's real this time."
But as soon as his hand was stretched out,
And a man took hold of him,
"You don't have to save him, he's a liar."
Zhou Ze turned his head to look at the man, although he was a man, his face was very delicate, just like a woman.
"And what if he's real this time?"
The man snorted coldly:
"Hmph, that's also his own doing, he has deceived everyone so many times, and he has to suffer a little. If you are cheated of money by a person many times in a row, even if he is real this time, will you still believe him? ”
"I ......"
Zhou Ze hesitated,
Yes, should such a low-character person be saved? Wouldn't he have lied to anyone else after saving him?
His outstretched hand slowly lowered,
And the old man's body that was exploring the ground was getting weaker and weaker, and he had already passed out.
But no one knows if he's real or pretended,
"Alas"
Zhou Ze smiled bitterly,
Then he picked up the old man from the ground,
In the distance, the sound of the iron bull was heard,
"Brother Zhou, I've finished calling at the phone booth, and the ambulance will come soon!"
The man next to him didn't know when he disappeared, but he had an unwilling expression on his face.
And the old man did have a sudden illness, Zhou Ze and Tie Niu helped pay the medical bills, and also took turns to take care of him every day, and did not leave until he was completely well.
And since that time, the old man has not appeared.
It's just that there is one more sanitation worker on the road.
And Tie Niu was also appreciated by the leaders for his hard work, and he was directly promoted to the contractor of the construction site.
He suddenly had a lot more money, and he began to study again at Zhou Ze's suggestion.
At night, Zhou Ze reviewed a series of things,
The Heart Sutra has also changed slightly.
"If you help, you must help."
Zhou Ze muttered to himself.
Gradually, he closed his eyes.
.....
"Zizi"
A burst of electricity came from the computer screen,
The computer, which was originally black, showed the picture again.
"Anchor, anchor, you're finally back, if it weren't for the fact that it still shows that you are on the air, we would have thought you would have suddenly gone off the air?"
[I don't know if you've ever encountered this kind of thing, I've encountered it, but I still think there are still many good people in this world]
