Chapter 1 Even the Old Lady Cheated?

...

Three thirty in the afternoon.

The August sun scorched the earth, and the heat island effect turned the whole city into a boiling steamer.

Wang Yan pedaled a tricycle feebly, drips of sweat fell down the arc of his cheeks onto the asphalt road, dried up in a few seconds, and disappeared without a trace.

The grass-green vest was already wet and dry, exuding an unpleasant sour smell.

He lowered his head, his eyes were a little slack, and he looked numbly at the asphalt road that seemed to be melting, and he kept moving to the back of the tricycle repeatedly, endlessly. Just like my own boring and hard life, I don't know when it will be the head.

After graduating from university, he was unemployed, and Wang Yan also lost his love by the way. In just a few months, he thoroughly experienced the reality and cruelty of society. These days, ordinary college students are really worthless.

The job I have been doing for more than two months now sounds very high. The regional business manager of an international medical device company is equipped with a special car for business.

But in fact, what he did was the deliveryman of the pharmacy in this area, and the goods he delivered were condoms of a third-rate brand. The so-called business car was just a broken human-powered tricycle that creaked and creaked as soon as it was pedaled.

A few minutes later, Wang Yan raised his head to look at the intersection in front of him, and then turned a corner and passed the vegetable market intersection, which was the last pharmacy in this area.

When you get home from work, you can take a refreshing cold shower and reward yourself with a bottle of cold beer.

Thinking of the refreshing feeling of cold beer that cools the heart, Wang Yan cheered up a little, even the heat in his heart dissipated a lot, and stepped up the speed of three rounds.

At the same time, it is in the space where the naked eye cannot see.

A fiery red meteorite the size of a millstone was quietly entering the exosphere of the atmosphere. It collided and rubbed against the extremely thin air, releasing a faint red light. Gradually strengthened by the gravitational force of the earth, it began to gradually accelerate to the ground and fall.

...

"Mrs. Zhang, I haven't seen you come out to start work for a long time." In the small shop next to the vegetable market, a middle-aged uncle wearing nothing but a pair of big pants jokingly shook his broken cattail fan. You were killed because of work, you were hit to death."

"Cao Dapao, if you have nothing to do, go all over the street to hook up with big girls and little daughters-in-law, and call you a good person?" Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, the somewhat gentle old lady Zhang knocked on the counter glass with her cane, and said in a confident manner, "Bring me two catties of white sugar and a pot of soy sauce. Don't piss me off. Someday, if you're unhappy, get the hell out of here."

"Come on, it's just a joke, you always calm down." Cao Dapao collected the money to get the goods, and helped her put them in the vegetable basket with a playful smile, "It's not a thing for you to play around all day long. According to me, grit your teeth and look at the right one." The luxury car bumped into it head-on, don't care about life and death, your son of a gambler will not have a problem with a million yuan for retirement."

"Who cares about the life and death of the gambler? I just feel sorry for my grandson who has no money to pay tuition fees in college." Mrs. Zhang rolled up her vegetable basket and walked angrily to the roadside billboard, sighing a long time. I gave birth to a son who didn't live up to expectations, and I only know how to drink, gamble and borrow money everywhere, and now my relatives and friends are going around the road.

But my grandson is about to start school and pay tuition again, and the tuition is still several thousand away...

Granny Zhang gritted her teeth and looked around.

...

Wang Yan's car bridle turned, the tricycle bumped a few times, and it creaked towards the vegetable market. At this moment, a white Maserati passed by him.

The cool wind blowing refreshed Wang Yan, and he stared at the cool sports car with envy.

Suddenly, an old lady walked out from under the billboard in front, leaning on a cane and trotting all the way to the middle of the road.

Wang Yan's heart tightened, before he could cry out. The Maserati squeaked, pulled out a cool right-angle turn to avoid the old lady, then accelerated the accelerator and roared away.

Maybe it was frightened, the old lady fell to the ground with an "ouch", a bag of sugar in the vegetable basket was scattered on the ground, and a few tomatoes rolled away.

"Bumping people, hitting people."

Scattered crowds gathered around, those in the vegetable market and the surrounding shops. After ten seconds or so, there were more than a dozen onlookers. But the problem is that no one dares to help the old lady who fell down.

"Ouch~ Ouch!" The old lady struggled a few times, but didn't get up.

The crowd of onlookers spread out seven or eight meters like seeing a bomb. Several people chattered, "Isn't this the old lady Zhang from the opposite community? It is said that she was rubbed by a car last month, and she was blackmailed by more than 5,000 yuan."

"After you said that, I remembered it. It seems to have happened several times in the past year or two, right? Tsk tsk, this extra money is making a lot of money."

"Ms. Zhang, that car has already left. You should get up quickly. The asphalt road is scalding hot. Don't cook it."

"Grandma, next time you want to blackmail someone, don't look for that kind of fast sports car, be careful to take your old life."

"Dad, do you want to help call the police?"

"Why call the police, let the police catch Pengci? Hehe, this old lady's acting skills are getting better and better."

The old lady was lying alone in the middle of the road, and the passing vehicles carefully avoided her. Everyone dispersed, and no one was willing to help her up.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yan couldn't help but shook his head and muttered, "It turns out that I was a porcelain man, which made me nervous. I deserve to fall and have no one to help me. Why are people's hearts so impetuous these days!" Take a turn, go around her a little further, and prepare to go home and rest after delivering the last item.

"Click!"

A tomato was crushed by the wheels of a speeding taxi, splashing bright red juice.

This scene made Wang Yan's heart tremble, and seemed to touch the weakness deep in his heart. With a "squeak", the car stopped.

The old lady seemed to be in pain, and continued to lie on the ground.

"Well, it seems that the reality of society has not tortured me enough, and I can't pass the test of compassion." I thought of my grandma, who seemed to be about the same age as her. Wang Yan wiped the sweat from his brow mockingly, and jumped off the tricycle. He took out his phone and turned on the camera mode, and said as he walked, "I'm a poor man, not a local rich man. I have to keep the evidence first. It's nothing to do with the old lady's fall. I just want to help her to the side of the road."

"Young man, don't go there. If you want to help her, at most you can call the police. Be careful not to get scammed. His son is a gambler and a rascal." Someone kindly persuaded him.

"Thank you for the reminder, but even if you call the police, the police will arrive at least ten minutes later." Wang Yan continued to collect evidence with his mobile phone, and walked over and said, "It's too hot. What's more, it's dangerous to lie in the middle of the road like this with cars coming and going."

"Anyway, I'm just a barefoot poor girl who just left school, and I can't get a lot of money from me." Wang Yan smiled indifferently and said, "It's fine if I really get scammed. The heart is completely dead, and there will be no psychological burden for selfishness in the future."

Now that he has made up his mind, Wang Yan will never back down. He has been like this since childhood. But in today's impetuous society, he himself doesn't know whether this is good or bad.

"Old lady, where did you fall just now?" Wang Yan squatted down holding the mobile phone, "Move around first to see if you have broken any bones? I'm afraid I didn't do the right thing when I helped you, which would aggravate your injury."

The crowd that was dispersing stopped. I don't know if I was moved by Wang Yan's words, and I thought I could be a witness in case something went wrong. Or, just simply want to watch a good show. This old lady is not easy to mess with.

"Young man, I pinned my waist, and I'm still a little dizzy." Granny Zhang's face was pale, a little ashamed, and she cried in pain, "Just give me a hand, for example, if I blackmail you, no, you will die badly." .”

Almost at the same time, in the sky, the tiny red meteorite that fell into the troposphere of the atmosphere has completely burned up, and the rock layer wrapped around it is rapidly decomposing, and finally a small ball of fiery red liquid remains , falling obliquely downward at extreme speed.

The summer sun was so dazzling that no one noticed the brilliance of such a small meteor piercing the sky. The fiery red unknown liquid was heading straight for the roadside of the vegetable market.

On the hot zebra crossing, Mrs. Zhang, who got up with Wang Yan's help, suddenly staggered.

Subconsciously, Wang Yan grabbed her arm, and while stabilizing her body, her elbow accidentally bumped her chest lightly.

"Ah~"

Wang Yan only felt as if he had been punched by a strong man in the chest, and he stepped back a few steps, and then a heart-burning burning sensation exploded in his chest cavity, burning in the blink of an eye. all over the body.

"Puff tom!"

Wang Yan closed his eyes tightly, and fell headfirst on the sidewalk, his face contorted in pain.

It was too late to say it and then it was too fast, all this happened in just two or three seconds. The people who stopped by stared wide-eyed, watching this scene in disbelief.

What's happening here! ?

This plot is wrong, shouldn't Mrs. Zhang take advantage of the opportunity to fall to the ground while the young man is helping her, and take the opportunity to extort some medical expenses? Why didn't the old lady fall, but the young man fell?

Could it be that this old lady is the legendary unworldly master? Such a strong young man was thrown to the ground by her light elbow?

Cao Dapao, who was watching the show with a cigarette in his mouth in the distance, dropped half of the cigarette in his mouth to the ground, his eyes showed disbelief, and a few drops of sweat slid from his forehead.

Mrs. Zhang was also shocked, her eyes were terrified, and she said in a jaw-dropping trembling voice: "Young man, you, don't scare the old lady. No, I won't take you to blackmail the old man like this..."

At this time, Wang Yan's consciousness was completely blurred, his body seemed to be on fire, his blood was boiling and burning, his cheek muscles were so painful that his limbs twitched instinctively.

"Young man, are you okay? You should get up." Mrs. Zhang turned pale with guilt, and poked Wang Yan with a cane with trembling hands, but she still didn't move. She was so frightened that tears almost fell down. "Young man, Is it alright if I take it? You are fine, can I give you two hundred yuan to buy cigarettes?"

The onlookers burst into laughter. These days, I heard that old men and old women blackmail young people. But I have never heard that young people can blackmail old people, what a news.

"Young man, your acting skills are not bad. Well done, you have to teach people like Mrs. Zhang a profound lesson."

"Old lady Zhang, old lady Zhang, you hunt wild geese all day long, but the geese blind you."

"It's called the law of heaven, and the retribution is not good."

"This young man is so shameless that even the old lady blackmailed him."

Mrs. Zhang's heart trembled, something big was about to happen! He hurriedly picked up the vegetable basket, not even the scattered white sugar, and started to run away swiftly.

But she didn't run very far, and turned back again. Looking at Wang Yan with a complicated expression, this child is only two years older than his grandson, right? What he said just now before helping him was like a knife, constantly cutting her heart. It made her old face hot and red. It's people like me who keep people's trust breaking apart.

Granny Zhang gritted her teeth, squatted down and touched his forehead hesitantly, and exclaimed: "It's too hot, it looks like he's really sick. Cao Dapao, why are you watching so much fun? Hurry up and buy yours." Bring the Broken Gold Cup and send the child to the hospital."

"Mrs. Zhang, you are not going to play a double reed with this young man? Are you going to blackmail me as a partner?" Cao Dapao took two steps back and rolled his eyes.

"What is the most important thing between people?" Mrs. Zhang stood up slowly, helped Fu Jinsi's eyes, and stared at Cao Dapao coldly, "Trust!"

"But..." Cao Dapao felt guilty after being stared at, and cursed inwardly, "I believe, I trust you, you ghost."

"But what?" Mrs. Zhang poked him twice with her crutches, and said furiously, "This child is very sick, you have to dare to die. Shake it for your wife."

"Mrs. Zhang, you are right." Cao Dapao said with a righteous face, "Human life is at stake, and Cao is obliged to do so!"
