Chapter 23 Helping the Fallen Elderly

The vehicle was driving under the night in Jianghai City.

In this metropolis of millions, this car is but a drop in the ocean of things.

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

Mortal life is short, but live happily.

A monk's life is long, but he is always lonely.

And she is the latter...

"Strange, why did I suddenly become sentimental today?"

Tang Beiwei sighed inwardly, and stopped thinking about those troublesome things.

Along the way, she wanted to speak, but she saw Xu Fan who was at the side immediately looked over with menacing eyes, as if warning her not to speak.

Twenty minutes later, the vehicle stopped at the side of the road. Xu Fan walked to the car first. Seeing that the woman was still sitting in it unmoved, he called her, "We're here, get out of the car."

"Oh." Tang Beiwei replied flatly, and followed.

At the same time, I looked up at the surrounding environment. It is completely different from the previous community. The huge square can accommodate thousands of people. The snack street next to it is full of neon lights of different colors, and the sidewalk beside the road is also full of people. People go.

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

"You mortals really like to be lively."

It was also the first time for Tang Beiwei to see such a bustling place. The main reason was that there were too many people and the noise kept ringing in her ears.

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

"I know that there is a milk tea shop here that has very delicious milk tea, so I'll take you to have a drink." Xu Fan smiled slightly.

"Milk tea?" Tang Beiwei was obviously unfamiliar with this word.

"You will know when you go there, girls should like to drink this."

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

The two walked in front of a zebra crossing, which happened to be a red light, and they had to wait for a few minutes.

"Why don't you leave?"

Tang Beiwei saw that the people around him were standing still, just like Xu Fan, with their heads down, playing with their mobile phones and watching videos. A voice came from the mobile phone: "Look carefully, this man's name is Xiaoshuai..."

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

"Shh, hold back!"

Xu Fan at the side reminded her in a low voice.

Tang Beiwei: ...

At this time, everyone's eyes were attracted by another place. On the sidewalk next to the zebra crossing, an old woman in her eighties fell to the ground, and there were two overturned baskets beside her. Soy milk was scattered all over the place.

The old woman wanted to get up, but she seemed to have hurt her joints and couldn't exert herself. She failed several times.

Tang Beiwei followed her gaze and saw this scene.

I saw many people passing by, and some people seemed to be hesitating standing there, but no one dared to step forward to help.

She was a little surprised, and turned 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 the green light turn on, Xu Fan called her.

As a result, he just took a few steps, only to find that the woman was standing there motionless, staring at the fallen old man.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Tang Beiwei was speechless, and continued to stand there for five or six minutes. The traffic lights jumped on both sides, and then she said, "I'm curious about one thing."

"What's the matter?"

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

Tang Shishi was puzzled, she was the supreme demon, not because she would pity a mortal, but because she didn't understand what they did.

When she was in Bei Cang Continent, she had traveled to many places and seen many people with sophistication.

But in this plane, after an old man fell, there were countless human companions around him, but no one dared to step forward to help him?
Perhaps Xu Fan understood what she meant, and said with a wry smile, "Actually, I want to help, but I don't have the money to pay them..."

The 5 yuan won during the day has less than 4 yuan left. Although I can still earn more, I can't support this big hole after helping people.

"Do you still need to pay money for helping people?"

Tang Beiwei was slightly surprised when he heard this.

"How should I put it, there are some unruly people in this world, they will pretend to fall, if you help someone, they will think that you caused him to fall, then they need to pay a lot of money."

After Xu Fan thought for a while, he explained it to her.

"Is there such a thing?"

Tang Beiwei had never imagined this problem, because she couldn't see it in Beicang Continent.

If there is a misunderstanding, it will be resolved on the spot, of course by physics.

I thought that after telling the pros and cons to this woman, she would leave.

As a result, in the next second, he was caught off guard and said: "I want to help that person. If I really need to pay money at that time, you can help me pay."

It wasn't out of good intentions, but it was the first time she heard about it, and she was extremely curious, wanting to see how these people with evil intentions cheated.

Xu Fan: "??!"

When he reacted from the surprise of this sentence, the woman had already walked over, and he hurriedly chased after her and shouted: "Fuck... I can't help you, I can't afford it..."

Not to mention only tens of thousands of dollars in hand, even if there are millions of assets, I dare not support it...

On the sidewalk, there was a continuous stream of people.

They passed by the fallen old man, deliberately chose to go around, and couldn't dodge in time, as if they had never seen it.

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

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

"Hey, little girl... Thank you so much, it's all because my legs are useless and slipped accidentally."

The old lady obviously broke her leg, her body was shaking slightly, and her old face seemed to be a little more haggard
Resisting the pain in her body, she held Tang Beiwei's little hand and kept saying thanks, 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 somewhat different from what Xu Fan said.

Didn't it mean that these people who fell down had evil intentions and wanted to deceive her?
And the old lady in front of her was obviously grateful, as if it came from the heart, not fake.

"How much silver do I need to pay you...how much?"

She frowned slightly, and asked in a very flat tone.

old lady:"??!"

The expression on the old lady's face suddenly froze, and the words she wanted to say suddenly fell silent, but there was more disappointment in her eyes.

At this time, Xu Fan, who had just come over, after hearing the conversation between the two, he understood that the old lady was not a blackmailer, but really accidentally fell down.

"You lied to me?"

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

"Uh... that's not the case. I didn't say that all the people who fell down were evil-minded. It's your understanding that is wrong..."

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

If you win the bet, you can get thanks, as well as a little comfort in mind.

But if you lose the bet, it will lead to countless troubles and lawsuits, and you may even lose your fortune.
So it's not that people are indifferent and don't help the elderly.

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

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

"Is that so?" Tang Beiwei was dubious, and then looked back at the old lady sitting on the bench, with a very painful look on her face.

"Little girl, can I trouble you to make a call for me? I have a number here..."

At this time, I saw the old lady take out a piece of paper from her pocket with a string of numbers on it.

"That old woman, let me fight for you."

Seeing that Tang Shishi was confused, Xu Fan had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and walk over, dialing the number on it.

It was the old lady's son who answered the phone. He hurriedly hung up the phone and rushed over after hearing his mother's fall and inquiring about her location.

"Well, there are not many kind-hearted young people like you now."

Looking at the endless streets, the old lady seemed to be sighing.

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

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

Speaking of this time, seeing the old lady's mood depressed again, she sighed: "I go to the pedestrian street to sell soy milk every night, but now people seem to like to drink beverages."

As soon as this remark came out, Xu Fan was shocked, and even came out to sell things in his 80s.

He continued to ask: "What about your family? Are they assured that you will come out?"

"Both my sons have been laid off and are not in good health..."

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

"Little girl, take this money as a thank you."

Before Xu Fan could answer, she took out a stack of banknotes from her trouser pocket, but most of them were small change.

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