Chapter 3 Strange Old Man

Qincheng is located in the northern plain of Huaxia Kingdom, with the capital in the north, the sea in the east, and Xiyuan, a resource-rich province in the west. It integrates economy and culture, and is a newly emerging international metropolis.It was from here that Qin Shihuang went to the sea to seek immortality, and the name of Qincheng came from this.

History has left too many traces in Qincheng, and Qincheng No. [-] Middle School is a strong one. If you trace it back, it has a history of hundreds of years. It was the famous Qianjia Academy in the previous dynasty, and it was changed after the founding of Huaxia. Chengqin City No. [-] Middle School.

At this moment, there were crowds of people in front of the antique gate of Qincheng No. [-] Middle School. It was the end of school time, and the originally quiet campus finally became noisy.At the gate, there are parents who drive to pick up their children. From a distance, famous cars form a long queue, lying on the road.

After leaving the school with Qin Yang, Chu Huainan hurried to the bus station, but he didn't have anyone to pick him up, let alone a special car.Originally Qin Yang wanted to send him back, but Chu Huainan still refused, perhaps because of his inferiority complex.Qin Yang and Chu Huainan had known each other for six years, so they naturally knew his character, so they didn't force him.

Chu Huainan lives in the suburbs of Qincheng City, which is a far away place that cannot even be reached by buses. Chu Huainan has to take more than ten bus stops every day, and then walk the rest of the way on his feet.Fortunately, the current education reform has canceled self-study in the morning and evening. Although Chu Huainan wakes up early and stays late, he will not be late every day.

After getting off the bus, Chu Huainan strode towards his home. This place is already out of the urban area. As far as the eye can see, it is full of shanty houses, with chaotic people, mixed dragons and snakes, and gray buildings like abandoned babies. Located on both sides of the street.In China, the house price of a city is directly proportional to the city's reputation, the more famous the city, the higher the house price.As one of the largest cities in the north, Qincheng's housing prices have continued to rise, far exceeding the affordability of ordinary citizens.

"boom!"

Chu Huainan, who was walking with his head down, felt that he had bumped into something, and then there was a very pungent smell from his nostrils to his brain, which made Chu Huainan faint for several times.

"Hey, my waist, I can't do it... I can't do it..."

A skinny old man fell in front of Chu Huainan, supporting his body with one hand and covering his waist with the other, screaming in surprise.

It turned out that just now Chu Huainan was in a trance, walking with his head down, and accidentally bumped into the old man.Chu Huainan has worked since he was a child, and his body is strong and strong. Although he is not strong, he is much stronger than the skinny old man. After the collision, Chu Huainan didn't move his legs, but the old man was thrown far away.

"Master, are you alright?" Chu Huainan hurried forward, when the pungent smell came again, it was from the old man.But at this time Chu Huainan didn't care about these, he suppressed his nausea and helped the old man up.

"Young man, watch as you walk, my old bones are about to be smashed by you." Although the old man stood up, the expression on his face was even more painful.

"Master, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it, I'll send you to the hospital right away." Chu Huainan didn't expect to encounter such a thing, looking at the old man's expression, he really thought he was injured by himself.

"Send me to the hospital?" Hearing Chu Huainan's words, the old man was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Chu Huainan, and sneered, "Boy, look at your outfit, do you have the money to send me to the hospital?" ?”

"Me?" Chu Huainan was irritated enough. In fact, he really didn't have much money on him, the only ten or so yuan was the wages given to him by the proprietress of the small restaurant.

"I...I don't have much money now, but don't worry, I will definitely raise enough money." Chu Huainan blushed, and finally said.

"Haha, why are you so naive, kid? Do you think the hospital will wait for you to raise money? When you raise enough money, I'm probably kicked out of the hospital when I leave." The old man seemed to be recovering now, with nothing but a smile on his face. Apart from sarcasm, there is no trace of pain.This made Chu Huainan suspect for a while that the old man came out to touch porcelain on purpose, otherwise how could there be such a big change?

"Then...then what do you say?"

"Hey!" The expression on the old man's face changed again, the change was as fast as lightning, and he didn't stop for a moment. He put his arm around Chu Huainan's shoulder and said, "I won't make things difficult for you, as long as you buy my products." .”

"Selling products? You?" Chu Huainan, the old man with the word "you", looked at the old man, he didn't look like a seller at all, but he looked like a beggar. To put it bluntly, he was a beggar.

It's not that Chu Huainan looked down on him, it's just that the old man's attire was too unorthodox, he actually wore a pair of long johns in summer, old leather shoes on his feet, and a hurdling vest with an invisible color on his upper body.No matter how you look at it, this outfit is a bit nondescript. How can it look like a salesperson?

"What's your expression, can't I sell things?" Chu Huainan's eyes obviously hurt the old man a little, and he said excitedly.

"Yes, yes, of course you can, but I don't need your product, you should sell it to someone else." Chu Huainan is now a little suspicious of the old man's mind, this guy may not have any mental problems.

"You kid won't buy my things?" Hearing Chu Huainan's words, the old man was angry and anxious, "Let me tell you, I only sell this thing once, so it's too late for you to regret it now."

"Master, just pretend that I don't have this blessing, I'll go home now." Chu Huainan was about to leave as he said that, he didn't have time to mess around here with the old man.

"No, you have to buy it today, you can't do it if you don't." The old man didn't know where the strength came from, he pulled Chu Huainan back, and said with his eyes wide open.

Chu Huainan felt bad luck today, first he was caught by Wang Xuechen, then he met Qin Xue, and after finally coming home from school, he unexpectedly met such a person.

"Master, how about this, my family is not a wealthy family, I only have 14 yuan in my pocket, and it will be used for dinner tomorrow. You take the four yuan and buy some food as you like, and you will treat it as if I bought your product." .” Chu Huainan stuffed four dollars into the old man’s hand.

Chu Huainan's words made the old man very helpless, the expression on his face changed rapidly, and finally he seemed to have made a lot of determination, "Forget it, forget it, I'm unlucky today, four yuan is four yuan, I'll sell you."

After finishing speaking, the old man carefully took out four glass balls from his trouser pocket. There was nothing unusual about the glass, except that there was a five-pointed star pattern in each glass ball, but the old man regarded it as a treasure. After seeing the glass ball, the cloudy eyes immediately brightened.
