Why not hang yourself on the southeast tree

The first snow came suddenly.

We haven't found a new place to live yet.

The old man was hunched over, jumping around on the spot with his hands and feet tucked in, trying to relax his frozen body.

【Prosperous! 】

I pitifully flicked off the ice crystals on my eyelashes, and vaguely felt that my lame leg had become even more lame.

[Little guy, I won’t leave. Look——]

【Prosperous? 】

I looked in the direction of his finger, uh, old man, have you forgotten that I never went to school? !

Can you please read those big traditional Chinese characters on the sign to me? !

After spending so much time together, the old man could probably guess what the dog's eyes just rolled up meant -

[It's not that clinic, it's the bank next door! Look, there must be air conditioning in there, the windows are fogged up.]

【Prosperous! 】

So that's how it is. It seems the old man has stayed in self-service banks many times. They are clean and bright, warm in winter and cool in summer.

A man and a dog pushed their bicycles across the road tremblingly.

The snow was about a foot deep, leaving deep wheel marks behind the wheels.

Fortunately, there was no ice, otherwise the road would be so slippery that we would not be able to find our way.

【Prosperous! 】

I shouted "Open Sesame" to the sensor door.

Hey, it doesn't care, not even a crack is left.

As the old man approached, the door opened.

【Prosperous! 】

Bah, you say that dogs look down on people, but the door looks down on dogs!

There was already someone inside, an old lady with silver hair, wearing all kinds of clothes.

She wore fur slippers with exposed heels, floral cotton pants, a festive red vest, and a men's cotton coat on the floor where she was sitting.

Why doesn't he look like a homeless old man?!

【Prosperous? 】

I ran over and sniffed here and there.

This is not good. The old lady must have peed in her pants. This strong smell...

The old lady had a smile on her face the whole time. She didn't react much to the dog's intentional approach, and her eyes were focused in the air.

The old man parked the car against the wall, unfolded and spread out his bedding, then came over to greet the "natives".

He had already realized that this was an older sister, and felt a little embarrassed, but there was really nowhere else to go, so he found a corner far away.

There are several surveillance cameras above his head, but he is not panicking.

[Older sister?! ]

【Wang?! 】

What kind of name is that?! If your sister heard you calling her old, wouldn't she slap you in the face?!

When the old lady heard his voice, she looked over and her face, which had been smiling like a chrysanthemum, suddenly turned from sunny to rainy.

[Son, where have you been? Your wife won’t give me food to eat, wuwuwu…]

The old lady burst into tears and struggled to get up and rush over, scaring the old man so much that he stepped back repeatedly, looking anxiously at the surveillance camera as he retreated.

【Prosperous! 】

My short, prickly hair couldn't help but stand up.

Horrifying, so terrifying!

Fortunately, the old lady tried several times but failed to get up, probably because her legs were numb from sitting cross-legged.

She was still crying and shouting for her son...

The old man had already retreated to the door. If he hadn't been startled by the icy cold glass door, he would have been about to run away.

【Prosperous? 】

Why does this sensor door treat people differently? Why doesn’t it sense people going out?

The old man received my inquiring gaze like a searchlight and quietly pointed to the white button on the wall on his left.

There are five big words on the button. Please press the button to go out.

【Wang?! 】

What happened when I entered the door just now?! It can't be both sensory and manual, right?!

[Well, I also pressed the button outside the door before coming in, but you didn’t see it.]

【Wang...】

OK, OK, I am ignorant.

It's not a big deal for the old lady to keep crying. In just a short while, anyone can see that the old lady's mind is not normal and she is probably confused.

The old man was traumatized by his mother's behavior when he was young, when she would often go to him and cry and fight. He would never dare to provoke such an old lady.

However, when he saw the old lady's face turning pale and blue from the cold, he felt sorry for her.

[Alas, this old lady might have gone missing. How worried her family must be! She is wearing fine fabrics and has a gold earring on her earlobe. It is definitely not like what she said just now, that her daughter-in-law doesn't give her food... Call the police!]

【Prosperous! 】

I lay down at his feet and responded.

I know he doesn't need me to make decisions for him. He has such a righteous character that even a snowstorm can't crush him.

When the call bell in the monitoring room rang, the person on duty was sleeping with drooling while leaning back in a chair holding a hand warmer.

In the dream, I was happily chewing the tender pork knuckle that my wife had stewed for me, but I was woken up by the noise.

His boss was not happy, and his angry voice came through the small speaker to the other side.

[Who is this?! What are you doing here in the middle of the night?!]

He was stunned as soon as he finished speaking, this is working hours!!!

He quickly pinched his thigh, cleared his throat with tears in his eyes, and greeted her warmly.

[Hello, this is Jixi Bank Jixing Road Branch, how can I help you? ]

One before and one after, it can be said that he is a completely different person.

The old man touched his nose, thinking that it was indeed his fault for disturbing someone’s sleep in the middle of the night.

[Um, I met an old lady at your self-service bank. She might have Alzheimer's disease. Please call the police. It's too cold. Don't let her get frozen.]

The staff member immediately sat up straight, switched the camera, and moved closer to look at the computer screen.

[Wow, isn't this someone's grandma? ! Thank you, big brother. I'll call someone over right away. I know this old lady! ]

【Prosperous! 】

[Okay, okay, hurry up, this elder sister thinks I'm her son, she's crying so hard, so sad! ]

When the old man heard what the other party said, he felt relieved.

In less than five minutes, a group of people came to the door in a hurry. They stepped on the brakes so suddenly that the car skidded on the snow, scaring everyone in the car to scream.

【Prosperous! 】

Old man, look!

The glass door was quickly opened, and a gust of icy wind rushed in. Before the old man could even open his mouth, he was choked by the cold wind and started coughing.

[Cough cough cough cough...]

The sister-in-law who rushed in didn't even look at him, and rushed directly to the old lady who was wiping tears in the corner.

[Oh my god, why did you run out without making any noise again? It took us so long to find you! ! ! ]

The old lady was suddenly grabbed by the arm. She was so scared that she resisted violently and slapped her sister-in-law in the face.

The old man was shocked by the loud and crisp slap and quietly backed away against the wall.

【Wangwu——】

I am timid, so naturally I stand with him.

The eldest sister-in-law, however, acted as if nothing had happened. She picked up the old lady from the ground and held her in her arms as if she were a child.

[Gah, have some good eyesight, cover our mom with clothes! ]

She turned around and yelled at the 1.9-meter-tall man next to her, "What a fool! He has to give me a reminder for being so dull."

The eldest sister-in-law used her knee to push the old lady's butt upwards, directly touching a large area of ​​wet pants. She felt a pang in her heart, and she didn't cry when she was slapped, but now she couldn't bear it anymore.

【Woooaaaaaaaaaa——】

Everyone: (?｀?Д?′)!!
