Rebirth of the Aspirations of Choucheng

As Christmas approaches, major department stores have launched promotional activities, and the magnitude of the discounts makes people want to move just by looking at them.It just so happened that Ling Xi received a subscription fee in advance, plus the salary of the month, it was enough for him to buy a watch he was satisfied with as a birthday present for Lu Xiaoyan.

Ling Xi is free and easy about big things, troublesome about small things, and even more picky about details.The style of the watch should not only set off Lu Xiaoyan's image, but also conform to his own aesthetic taste. It is really not easy to find it.For Lu Xiaoyan, black is a bit dull, gold is too exaggerated, diamonds are nothing but ostentatious, and although leather is retro and gentlemanly, it lacks a bit of toughness. Ling Xi spent more than two pieces on it to choose from. After hours, I finally decided on a silver-gray metal chain watch.This one is completely plain from the dial to the hands, and even the brand logo is integrated with the background color. There is no cumbersome decoration, and it looks simple and straightforward, just like the Lu Xiaoyan secretly outlined in his heart.

After the bill was settled, most of the amount in Ling Xi's withdrawal card had already gone, and he might have to save money for the next month, but he was very happy in his heart, after all, Lu Xiaoyan had helped him several times, and what he could do for Lu Xiaoyan was real. not much.

As soon as he came out of the department store, Ling Xi received a call from Teacher Wu. Teacher Wu asked him to go back to the studio and wait for him. He only said that there were some things to be arranged, but he didn't explain the specifics.

Ling Xi thought that the other party was confused for a while: "Teacher, I have a holiday today, and the schedule for the next two weeks hasn't been arranged yet?"

Teacher Wu's voice sounded a little anxious: "I told you to come back, there must be a reason. I'm in a meeting now, if you arrive first, wait for me, and I'll go down as soon as it's over."

Anyway, Ling Xi's most important task was completed, and he had no other arrangements, so he obediently said "Oh", and returned to the studio by car as instructed by Teacher Wu.Because it is a day off, most people do not start work, and the whole building is quiet.

As soon as she entered the door, the sharp-eyed Baomei immediately found the packaging bag in Ling Xiti's hand, and then jumped over to her: "Ah, Ling Xi, you bought it? I really like this brand, but it's too expensive to buy. My salary has been handed over to my parents, and I usually wear street goods, can you show me this? Let me touch the high-priced goods with my own hands."

"I bought it as a gift." Ling Xi didn't want her brand-new watch to be stamped with fingerprints, so she politely rejected Baomei.He put the packaging bag back on his desktop, thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and pushed it inward, for fear that he would accidentally drop it on the ground and bump it.

Baomei is a congenital patient with "gossip syndrome". When she heard that Ling Xi had bought such an expensive watch as a gift, her symptoms flared up instantly. She moved her big face like a monkey and went straight to Ling Xi: "Who is who? Who is it?" Yeah? Who is it for?"

A certain name flashed through his mind, and Ling Xi immediately felt happy, with a smile that couldn't be concealed in his eyes and the corners of his mouth, and he even talked more than usual: "To a...very important person."

Baomei exaggeratedly expanded her mouth into an "o" shape, and quickly narrowed her crescent eyes "hehehe" with a very ambiguous smile: "Lingxi Lingxi, do you have someone you like? Right? Right? Is that right?"

"Ah?" Ling Xi was taken aback, tilted his head and frowned slightly thinking about Baomei's question, "I guess..." In fact, he didn't know the exact answer himself, and he had never liked anyone, nor was he loved by anyone. Liked it, can't judge it at all.

"Well," Baomei pursed her lips, and patted Ling Xi's shoulder like an old senior, "little brother, you have to listen to my sister's words carefully about this point, you are going to be a star in the future, release records, fight for sales, You can’t vote without the support of your fans, even though you think you are capable—well, you do have some strength, but this face can’t be wasted, how can you get a girlfriend casually.”

After hearing this, Ling Xi asked solemnly: "Then can I have a boyfriend casually?"

"Hahahaha... Your jokes are so cold!" Baomei has a refreshing personality, and her laughter is amazingly penetrating, "However, as a fan of yours, if I know which girl you are dating, I must be jealous to death, really Want to change to a man... On the contrary, I don't mind it that much. The one who minds must be old-fashioned, and the new generation's ability to accept is against the sky. In short, you must be cautious and cautious when falling in love, even if you really fall in love , also sneaked here, my sister grew up reading Gossip Weekly, so you must be right."

It doesn't matter to Ling Xi whether the person he likes is a man or a woman. He has never been a person who cares about the outside world.But the serious mention of the word "love" made him shy unconsciously: "It can't be that far..."

Baomei became even more excited when she heard it, and asked with joy, "Yo Yo Yo, are you playing with a secret crush? Huh?"

Ling Xi thought for a while, then nodded seriously: "It's about the same, it's just..."

"Hey!" Before Ling Xi could finish speaking, Baomei suddenly pointed to the wall clock on the wall and yelled, "It's time, I almost forgot, my idol is going to participate in an event today!"

There was no one else in the office, Baomei hurriedly turned on the computer, called up a live webcast channel, pointed at the screen and said to Ling Xi while rudely tearing up the package of potato chips: "Hey, this is the Christmas charity sale Lah, my big idol donated the lot. Don’t be jealous, Ling Xi, you are my idol too, my little idol. My big idol has basically been semi-retired since becoming a young mistress, and I don’t usually show up much. This time too. I agreed to perform for charity..."

Ling Xi was not interested in the charity sale, but Baomei tried her best to sell it, so he just glanced at it perfunctorily.It turns out that the big idol that Baomei admired was a mixed-race movie queen who was once all the rage, but she gradually faded out of the entertainment circle after marrying a wealthy Malay businessman two years ago. It has been a long time since she took on a new movie, but her popularity remains stay high.As an important guest invited by the organizer, I am pleasing to the eye. From time to time, the director will cut a close-up of her alone, which can be regarded as a benefit for the audience.

The camera flashed past, and Ling Xi found an indescribably familiar figure on the opposite side of the actress. He unconsciously approached the screen and widened his eyes, trying to confirm that it was just a momentary illusion.After waiting for a long time, the camera finally turned around again, and when he saw the man's face clearly, Ling Xi couldn't help but let out a "huh": "Why does he..."

The person Ling Xi saw was actually Lu Xiaoyan!Lu Xiaoyan was dressed in a suit and had a decent smile. He was holding a glass of wine to socialize with a group of people in the entertainment industry. He didn't show the domineering way he usually treats Lin Guangle and the others.Beside Lu Xiaoyan, Ling Xi also saw another familiar face. Before he could ask any questions, Baomei had already called out his name in advance: "Look, look, isn't this Mu Xia? Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that the rumors It's all true."

Ling Xi glanced at Baomei in confusion, and Baomei proudly showed off the gossip she had: "You often go in and out of the TV station, and you haven't heard of it? It has already spread outside, saying that Mu Xia's gold The host is Tenghua International Shaodong, and the ranking of the competition has already been determined by default, and the paparazzi have photographed them going to the hotel together... But don't worry too much, you are strong, even if you are not as good as others, you have a backer, If you sing well, the audience will still buy you.”

Ling Xi looked at Baomei and then at the screen, feeling nervous for some reason: "Who is the Tenghua International Shaodong you mentioned...?"

Baomei is very keen to popularize all kinds of common sense in the entertainment industry to Ling Xi. She pointed to the screen: "This is the man, Lu Yuanteng's youngest son, what is his name..." After thinking for a while, Baomei couldn't figure it out. The younger sister took out a magazine from the messy pile of magazines on the desktop, "shua shua shua" opened the inside page and handed it to Ling Xi, "Here, here, it turned out to be Lu Xiaoyan. It's a pity, he is handsome and rich, so why is he so handsome? Gay, well, I don’t know when I can find a boyfriend like this..."

Holding the magazine in his hands, Ling Xi read the page from beginning to end. That's right, the one on the screen is Lu Xiaoyan himself, the youngest son of the Lu family, the youngest of the two sons and one daughter.The reporter didn't seem to have a good impression of this Young Master Lu, and described him in words as a dandy who only knows how to play games and spend his life. It was not without exaggeration to say that the little star who had rumored lace news with him could be from the emperor. Ting Avenue lined up all the way to Hongshan Port.Ling Xi doesn't care how stubborn Lu Xiaoyan's nature is and how indulgent his behavior is. He is just a little entangled in Lu Xiaoyan's identity. , and will not go to be a cowherd to make quick money...

Ling Xi put down the magazine dejectedly, and cast her eyes on the joyful TV screen. Lu Xiaoyan's demeanor in the screen was full of elegance and elegance, and Mu Xia, who was always with her, added a bit of brilliance.Knowing that there may be an extraordinary relationship between Lu Xiaoyan and Mu Xia, and looking at the interaction between the two, the atmosphere is indeed different. Whether it is a frown, a smile, a gesture, or a gesture, it seems that there is some kind of inexplicable meaning implied. Ambiguity.

The first time he saw Mu Xia, Ling Xi subconsciously felt that he had met him somewhere, but Mu Xia was really irrelevant to him, so he didn't bother to recall it.At this moment, seeing Lu Xiaoyan and Mu Xia standing side by side, he finally remembered that time when he accompanied Mr. Wu to discuss the film soundtrack. At the elevator entrance of the hotel lobby, Lu Xiaoyan took Mu Xia from him Passing by, the moment the elevator doors closed, Mu Xia stood on tiptoe and kissed Lu Xiaoyan.It was also that time that he took the initiative to greet Lu Xiaoyan, but Lu Xiaoyan deliberately ignored it.

Ling Xi raised her hand to touch her face, feeling a little hot.In fact, Cheng Che was not the only one who said that he and Mu Xia looked very similar, even he himself felt this way.So...why did Lu Xiaoyan treat him well?Still working hard and caring... Ling Xi found that he seemed to have made a big joke. Fortunately, fortunately, some words were left unsaid, otherwise he would really have become a joke.

On the TV screen, the auction was proceeding step by step. The former actor and actress specially donated an antique watch collected by her husband. The starting price of the watch was 14 yuan, and each bid increased by 30 yuan. At the beginning, some people joined in the fun and called for a few rounds. The last woman thought it was troublesome, so she directly bid [-] yuan and successfully won it.According to the host's introduction, the bold woman who took the antique watch is Lu Xiaoyan's elder sister, Lu Xiaoyi, the second lady of Tenghua International.

The transaction was successful, and the host asked Lu Xiaoyi casually: "This is a men's watch. I wonder who Ms. Lu is going to give it to? Or is it that Ms. Lu is already famous? Can you share it with us?"

Lu Xiaoyi smiled coquettishly: "It's a pity, I'm not attractive enough, and no one has been chasing me. I took this watch as a birthday present for my younger brother. It will be his birthday in a few days, and he also has The habit of collecting watches."

After stepping off the stage, she directly took the watch off the velvet base, and shook it towards Lu Xiaoyan. Lu Xiaoyan also raised his hand cooperatively, allowing her to help put it on. Very satisfied with the birthday present.

Ling Xi didn't look any further. He retreated to his seat and sat motionless for a few minutes. Then he opened the drawer and silently stuffed the watch bag that was originally on the table into it. Everything was neatly arranged and the drawer was closed. Okay, locked it, put the key back in the pocket, and gave it a little pat.Compared with the one that Lu Xiaoyan was carrying, the watch he bought can only be described as "poor".

The tabletop was suddenly empty. He looked around, took a box of tissues and placed it where the packaging bag had been. He felt much more comfortable now.

Well, it’s really nothing, Lu Xiaoyan is Lu Xiaoyan, Mu Xia is Mu Xia, he is him, there is no need to trouble yourself.Lu Xiaoyan is just a person he knows, a person who has helped him, and he should sincerely repay the person who helped him... that's all...

After waiting for about half an hour, Teacher Wu finally came back from the meeting.As soon as he entered the door, he went straight to Ling Xi's table, looking a little preoccupied: "Uh...Ling Xi, the plan has changed. The album we were in charge of last time will be overturned and redone, and the title song will also be replaced. I will go into the studio to record next week, and I will work on the arrangement of a few songs later."

Ling Xi raised her hand and rubbed her forehead in embarrassment: "Teacher, I have a competition next week, and I have to record a special program before that."

"That..." Mr. Wu leaned on the edge of the table with his arms folded, turned his head and stared at the ground for a while, and said in deliberation, "The competition...forget it, serious work is more important, this album Everyone attaches great importance to it, and your work is included in it, and I hope the effect will be good enough.”

Ling Xi stood up slowly, and looked at Teacher Wu with some astonishment: "Forget it? What do you mean?"

Teacher Wu took a deep breath and showed a pretended relaxed smile: "Since we have to talk sooner or later, let me tell you the truth. The little boss asked you specifically in the meeting just now. This is what he meant. In short Just quit the game, and I will greet you at the program team."

Ling Xi shook her head slightly: "Teacher, I don't quite understand why you quit the competition? I have entered the final and my singing is no worse than anyone else's. I am confident that I can get a good ranking and even be the champion!" "

Teacher Wu shrugged helplessly: "Shouldn't you ask yourself this question? Don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't do what you shouldn't do. I've told you this truth a long time ago, but you can't listen to it." ! From the incident with Yaoyao at the beginning to the interview later, what is the reason and who was offended, you will understand after thinking about it.”

"But what's the benefit to the company?" Ling Xi became anxious and looked a little stiff, "If I really win the award, it can be counted in the company's performance. Even if the company looks down on this kind of award, at least I will go out to perform. The asking price can also be a little more confident."

Teacher Wu looked at him, and sneered with a "huh": "Do you think the company is short of money? Your value has doubled, but it’s still just a product of the company. If the boss is happy, he will lift you up to the sky with his own hands, and if the boss is not happy, he will trample you into the mud.”

Baomei listened to it for a long time, and became anxious for Ling Xi: "Teacher, don't be like this, Ling Xi attaches great importance to this competition. She worked so hard before, and now she is about to pay off. Can you talk to the little boss about it?" Ah, let's just say...just say...just say that Ling Xi was ignorant before, but now he knows he's wrong."

"Tell me, do you think I didn't say anything good for him?" Teacher Wu was also full of grievances. He could still restrain himself a little bit when facing Ling Xi, and he had no scruples about Baomei, "I signed the contract with you." If I come in, if I can win an award or be famous, my face will be radiant, and it will be easy to push me in the future. But what about the reality? I don’t know how many times I just wipe his ass! Oh, you all have your own ideas, With your persistence, I wouldn’t have it? The problem is to remember who you are first, and remember whether you have such a big weight! When the boss is really in a hurry, he will simply block you, or spend a small amount of money to support an idler , but you don’t want to get ahead for the rest of your life!”

Baomei finally realized the seriousness of the problem. She looked at Teacher Wu and Ling Xi, and muttered in a low voice: "There is always room for discussion, so let's think of a way..."

Ling Xi couldn't learn to be humble like Baomei, he gnawed his lips agitatedly: "What if I must participate?"

Teacher Wu stared at him in surprise for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Ling Xi, Ling Xi, haven't you learned enough lessons? Arms can never hold back thighs. I beg you, please, don't give me any more You're looking for trouble. The little boss is obviously holding his breath. If you let him vent his anger, it's over? If you really want to go your own way, you'd better think clearly. The company has a contract with you, and there are relevant regulations on commercial activities and entertainment activities. , If you break the contract, you have to pay compensation to the company, can you afford the seven-figure compensation?"

Baomei immediately became angry, and her voice also became high-pitched: "Why, why are you bullying people like this? Ling Xi did nothing wrong! Obviously, it was the little boss who provoked Yaoyao with his lust, and made so many messy and disgusting things. What does it have to do with Ling Xi?"

"Shut up!" Teacher Wu yelled, scaring Baomei into a hiccup. "What's the use of yelling at me? Who the hell am I messing with?" He pulled out a cigarette plug He put it in his mouth, and took out the lighter to light a cigarette, but the lighter also lost his temper, and even after pressing it a few times, there was no flame. In the end, he pulled out the cigarette irritably, threw it on the ground and crushed it with his feet. Then he raised his head and said to Ling Xi earnestly, "Ling Xi, to be honest, I have neither ability nor ambition, and I don't have any business acumen. I just want to find a suitable and stable platform in this life, and make some music of my own. When I signed you, it is because you are very similar to me in your attitude towards music. Can you also see that I appreciate you for a while For the sake of it, don't trouble me anymore? You think about it, and this time you will honestly listen to the arrangement above. Anyway, I am here, so let's take your time. When the limelight passes, I will definitely find a way to help you Find a way out. But if you insist on confronting the boss... I can't help it..."

After saying these words, Mr. Wu turned and went back to his room.As soon as the door was closed, Baomei couldn't help crying immediately, the tears were streaming down, and the red nose twitched, and there was almost a sparkling snot bubble.

Ling Xi glanced at Baomei with disgust: "Hey, I'm the one who can't continue the game, why are you crying?"

"Woooooo..." Baomei cried even louder, "Then they just don't want to be reconciled! Woooooo... We have already discussed it, no matter how many places you get, we will rush to the stage to give you Presenting flowers, we even ordered the flowers, the most expensive imported roses, one thousand and one, woo woo woo..."

Baomei grinned and cried, and then went to the computer to video-connect the other two organizers of the support club, and recounted what happened to them. If it weren't for the computer, the three girls would almost hug each other. I cried with a headache.On the contrary, it was Ling Xi who couldn't get in the way and awkwardly stood beside him, as if he was an irrelevant person.

After standing for a while, Ling Xiwu pursed his lips and quietly walked out of the office...

In the evening, the sunlight was blocked by the row upon row of skyscrapers, the streets were chilly, and a gust of wind blew by, causing pedestrians to shrink their necks in unison.Ling Xi had no particular place to go, nor anything special to do, so she let her mind go and walked aimlessly along the street.

Because of Christmas, those shop windows are decorated in colorful, full of festive and festive atmosphere.Some stores put Christmas trees filled with colorful lights and gifts in front of the door, and some specially invite people to wear big red robes and fake beards to act as Santa Claus to attract passing guests.

Like a child, Ling Xi browsed all kinds of goods in the window while walking, food, clothes, toys, decorations... Stop and look at the ones that interest you, even if they don't belong to him, just look at them Wearing can also bring satisfaction.

The fruit shop is running an activity of buying more and giving more. An old couple is carefully choosing a fruit basket. The old lady is entangled in whether to match more strawberries or more dragon fruit. After comparing and comparing countless times, the old man always stands with a smile on his face. On the side, there is absolutely no intention of urging...

The toy store was full of students from the nearby elementary school. A chubby boy just bought a simulated laser sword and excitedly held it in his hand. The arms were crossed in front of the chest horizontally and vertically, emitting dynamic light waves...

On the porch of the cake shop, there are strings of shining little stars, and a father holding a child stands there, as if waiting for someone.The little baby was very curious, looked up at the stars with wide eyes, and clumsily stretched out his little hand to reach them. The father saw it and simply carried the baby on his shoulders.Now the little baby is happy, reaching out to touch this star, touch that star, the toothless mouth is giggling non-stop, and there is still a drop of crystal saliva hanging from the corner of the mouth...

Ling Xi couldn't help but laugh beside him.Not wanting to be spotted by the father when he turned his head, his four eyes met, and the other party nodded kindly towards him.Ling Xi was a little overwhelmed, she nodded while dodging her eyes, and ran away in a hurry.

Lidao is a magical place, and it gets more and more lively at night, especially on the days of collective carnival like Christmas.It is said that Christmas Eve is a time for family reunion and happiness, but in the most beautiful fairy tales, there are people wearing aprons and holding matches on Christmas Eve. There are no customers, no audience, no sympathy and charity, not even a concerned look. .Fortunately, there are plenty of matches. When you feel cold, light one and dream of a warm stove in front of you; feel hungry, light one and dream of a table full of rich food in front of you; Light one, and imagine that you can fly to heaven with your deceased grandma... However, a fake is a fake, and the match will go out eventually. When the match goes out, there will be nothing left.

So people can't have too many fantasies, otherwise they will freeze to death in their own fantasies...

Unknowingly, when she raised her head, she had already walked under the familiar overpass, and Ling Xi realized that she had walked a few stops. No wonder her legs were sore and swollen.He walked to the edge of the steps and sat down, took out another cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, lit it, and smoked slowly.

Beside the trash can not far away, an old beggar friend was concentrating on searching for food. He picked up a pile of waste plastic bags and shook them one by one, trying to find something that could be eaten. After shaking for a while, he heard a "boom" , A whole can of Coke fell out of it.The old beggar got his wish, grabbed the Coke and poured it into his mouth. Presumably he often sees others drinking like this.But the Coke was unopened, and nothing could be poured out at all. The old beggar held the jar in his hand and studied it for a while, then began to nibble on the edge of the Coke with his teeth.The metal bottle was very slippery, and the teeth couldn't exert any strength at all. After several bites, the old beggar gave up and turned to look for new trophies.

Turning his head around, the old beggar found Ling Xi sitting on the steps smoking a cigarette. He stared at it for a while, and suddenly opened his mouth wide and said "hehehe" to Lingxi, laughing.

Ling Xi was very surprised. Unexpectedly, the old beggar could recognize him. He raised his hand and waved it slightly, but the old beggar didn't respond any further. He just stared straight at his mouth and swallowed vigorously.Ling Xi tried to pick up the cigarette case and shook it: "Want this?"

The old beggar still smirked "hehehe", and stretched out both hands at the same time, making a gesture of "begging".

Ling Xi understood, stuffed the lighter into the cigarette case and threw it to the old beggar.The cigarette case fell into the old beggar's arms accurately, and fell to the ground because of the slow response of the other party.The old beggar slowly bent down to pick up the cigarette case, first sniffed it curiously, then opened the lid and took out a cigarette from it, stuffed it into his mouth like Ling Xi did, and then...he chewed stand up.

Ling Xi hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop it: "Hey! Hey!"

But he was still too late, the other party had already gulped down the cigarette.When he finally had something to eat, the old beggar was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear, his yellow teeth were covered with smoke foam, and he stuck out his tongue with relish to lick it non-stop.There were still a few cigarettes left in the cigarette case, so he simply took them out and stuffed them all into his mouth, his cheeks puffed up, his eyes squinted, as if he was tasting some delicacies.

Ling Xi looked at it for a while with a complicated expression, really dumbfounded.No need to ask, the old beggar is starving, and he may have been out of food for several meals.He wanted to help buy a meal, but when he took out his pockets, he realized that he came out too casually, and didn't bring his mobile phone or wallet with him.Ling Xi was a little hesitant for a while, not sure if he should return to the company immediately, or go to the bar where he worked before to help the old beggar get some free leftovers.

The catastrophe happened at this moment. First, there was the screeching sound of car tires braking, followed by the sound of violent collisions and the sharp sound of the vehicle alarm.Ling Xi raised her head abruptly and looked where the sound came from. The trash can was gone, and so was the old beggar. Colorful rubbish and glass shards were scattered all over the ground. A small truck lost control and rushed onto the sidewalk, hitting the concrete pier head-on. , the front of the car is sunken, the hood is raised, and white gas is blowing...

Ling Xi subconsciously dodged backwards, clenched his fists in front of his chest vigilantly, and after confirming that the car had been completely turned off and would not run amok again, he looked around, looking for some dirty and thin figure, strangely, everywhere They didn't even see the old beggar until a group of female students waiting to cross the road pointed at the underside of the wheel and screamed in unison in horror: "Ah! Help! Someone is crushed!"

Following the directions of the female students' fingers, one can vaguely see a handful of sticky white hair protruding from under the wheels, and a large bloodstain continuously spreading along the cracks in the floor tiles.

The cab trembled twice, the driver kicked open the deformed door, and crawled out from inside. He also knew that he had caused an accident, and faced the crowd of onlookers, he stuttered and shouted; "It's none of my business, yes The brakes suddenly failed, I didn't do anything! I didn't drink, really, you have to testify against me!"

After being stunned for half a minute, Ling Xi suddenly woke up from the shock, strode to the side of the car, lay down on the ground and shouted under the car: "Hey, how are you? Can you hear me? Hello!"

After shouting for a long time, the old beggar didn't respond at all, and lay there motionless as usual. The driver beside him was so frightened that he became a sieve: "Is he, he, he still alive? He won't die, right? What can I do, I still have a little The family needs to support..."

Ling Xi interrupted him angrily: "Don't be verbose, call quickly!"

The driver was startled, and raised his hands high, as if surrendering: "What are you calling? Who are you calling?"

Ling Xi was also incoherent in anxiety: "Call! The police! Call the police! No, call an ambulance first!"

"Oh, oh oh." The driver frantically took out his phone, but his fingers trembled so much that he pressed the wrong number several times.

Ling Xi extended his arms close to the ground, and lightly touched the old beggar a few times, but the old beggar didn't move.Seen by the weak light, half of the old beggar's body was crushed by the wheel, his limbs were twisted, showing a strange shape.Ling Xi didn't dare to pull people out hastily. After thinking about it, he turned around and asked the crowd of onlookers for help: "Come here and help me, lift the car up with me!"

A passing mother hurriedly covered the child's eyes and ran away quickly. The group of female students who first discovered the old beggar was caught under the wheel wanted to help, but they did not dare to approach because of fear. Pushing you to encourage each other, a middle-aged woman took out her mobile phone to take a video, and pedestrians who just came over were asking each other: "What's going on? What's going on?"

After waiting for a long time, the owner of a nearby shop came over with a few guys. Everyone hurriedly raised the car and moved it to the side, exposing the upper body of the old beggar.Ling Xi took off her coat and wanted to help the beggar temporarily bandage the wound to stop the bleeding, but the old beggar was covered in blood, and it was impossible to see where the wound was. Through the clothes, he could clearly see that his entire chest was deflated , the arm was broken into several pieces, and the corners of the eyes, nostrils and mouth were covered with blood.Ling Xi didn't care about getting dirty, and directly knelt on the ground close to his ear and shouted: "Can you hear me? Wake up! Hold on a little longer, the ambulance will be here soon!"

The shop owner who came to help was much calmer. He first put his hand under the old beggar's nose to try to breathe, and then put it on the base of his ear to feel his pulse. Finally, he opened the old beggar's eyelids to check his pupils, and shook his head regretfully. : "It's useless, this person is dead."

Ling Xi couldn't imagine that just a few minutes ago, the old beggar was standing on the side of the road eating cigarettes happily, and he died in the blink of an eye. He looked pitifully at the shop owner: "Can...can you save me again? What should I do? Artificial respiration? Or something else?" His eyes wandered, he didn't know where to look, and he blamed himself helplessly, "I don't understand this, I haven't noticed it, and I really don't know how to give first aid? How to do?"

The shop owner sighed: "Why, do you know him?"

Ling Xi thought for a while, then slowly shook her head.He didn't know anything about the old beggar, and the old beggar knew the same about him, so the two naturally didn't know each other.But in his heart, the old beggar was his first friend after he came to Lidao.Many lonely nights, he would sit alone on the steps of the overpass, watching the passing pedestrians and vehicles, the couples walking hand in hand, watching the lights of thousands of houses on the tall buildings, watching old beggars and wild cats scrambling for the bottom of the bridge. The most corner leeward position.

Communication between people is the most complicated and simplest thing in the world. Most people are born liars. Their eyes always have hidden meanings, their thoughts always need to be deliberated, their words are always full of deceit, and their mouths are always full of deceit. He said it was good, but in fact he dismissed it. He said he was coming, but he turned around and left quickly... Only this friend is different. The old beggar does not need to communicate, cater to, ponder and consider , Look at him, he will smile "hehehe", hand him food, and he will eat it deliciously, even if it's just a bowl of leftovers that others don't want to look at.

Standing blankly for a while, Ling Xi thought of something, knelt on the ground and straightened the old beggar's body, and then covered the old beggar with his coat, covering the bloody head and face by the way, making him look more decent.

Later, the police finally arrived, took photos of the scene, and took away the driver who caused the accident. Soon the ambulance also came, and after confirming the death, took away the old beggar's body.
