This beggar was actually a lunatic!
The security captain was so angry that he crumpled the piece of paper into a ball, threw it away, and pointed at Wei Xi: “Damn it, you dare to play tricks on me.”
Wei Xi looked at the ball of paper rolling to his feet and shaking slightly, he stretched out a finger to scratch behind his ear. Mistaken again?
At this time, a small security guard standing guard hurried over, his eyes lingered on Wei Xi’s face suspiciously for a while, and he pulled his leader: “Team Leader Wu, Team Leader Wu, forget it, I saw him on Friday, this person indeed bought a ticket, let him pass.”
The security captain threw his subordinate away: “What the hell are you talking about? You saw him on Friday, and today is Wednesday. He has been up on the mountain for six days. Why did he go up there? To commit suicide?”
When the young security guard heard this, he was speechless when asked. What’s more, although the young man looked conspicuous, he didn’t seem to be dressed like this that day in his memory.
“Okay, shut up.” The captain sneered when his subordinate stopped talking. He had been having a hard time at home recently, but he still had to come to work as usual. There were many people in the scenic spot, he was already very irritable because of this, and he was worried that he would have no outlet to vent his worries. He didn’t dare to mess with well-dressed tourists, but what was there to be afraid of when he met a little beggar?
The little security guard hesitated and said: “Let him report his ID number and check…”
“Get out of here!” The captain pushed him away and pointed at Wei Xi, “Come out! If you don’t have a ticket, pay a fine of 300 yuan before leaving!”
Wei Xi stared at his fingers, then turned to the other person’s face, slowly shaking his head: “I have no money.”
His eyes were dark, and the security captain actually flinched a little when he touched him. After realizing this, he became even angrier. He knocked the riot stick on the ground and said with a fierce look, “Then don’t even think about leaving.”
Wei Xi stared at the angry middle-aged man and raised his eyebrows. This man’s face was dark and bloodless, with blue-black eye bags hanging under his eyes. His brows were sparse and his eyes were white and fierce. He had a typical face with strong anger. That’s not all, he still had a sunken Yintang, a cheek behind his ears showing a windy face with a clean beard, which meant he was narrow-minded and capricious. There were needles hanging between his eyebrows, which indicated stubbornness, gloominess and impatience. The palace of husband and wife at the end of the eye was gloomy, and he might get into trouble at home if he disagreed. It was reasonable for such a person to get angry, but it just so happened that Wei Xi was not very good at reasoning.
Then he decided to give him a good beating.
Wei Xi was a little happy. He didn’t take the initiative to cause trouble. Wei Dedao could have nothing to say after knowing about it.
However, when he was about to walk out of the queue, someone suddenly sighed: “Wait a minute.”
Wei Xi turned around and saw that the person who spoke was a frail middle-aged woman standing behind him. This woman was very beautiful, but her complexion was very gloomy, her brows were sad, and her body seemed to be very weak. Her husband was holding her carefully from behind.
The woman saw the stick in the hands of the menacing security captain, glanced at Wei Xi, who was so thin that he seemed vulnerable, and said with some reluctance: “It’s not like there aren’t people who lost their tickets, so many of them were let go just now. Why do you just say that he is evading fares? Besides, where is there any place in the mountain by which you can evade fares?”
When she asked this question, the security captain suddenly became a little weak. He had worked here for many years and of course he knew very well whether Fengyang Mountain could be used to evade fares – Fengyang Mountain was steep and rugged, although the front led to the busy road. The city and the rolling mountains behind the scenic area were all virgin forests that had not been artificially developed. There was only one gate that could let you enter the scenic area. The virgin forest behind it had made it difficult for several teams of professional prospectors sent by the development department to escape. It was obviously nonsense for ordinary travelers to pass through, not to mention the little beggar who was weak like a chicken in front of him. He used this name to teach the other party, but it was just an excuse.
His thoughts were directly exposed, and he was a little angry. However, although the woman who spoke was very frail, she was very well-dressed, and her husband behind her was also very dignified, making people afraid to offend her. He could only blush and say harshly: “How do I know if you can evade the fare? You have to ask him! Anyway, the scenic spot has regulations. If you don’t have a ticket, you can be fined. I won’t let you go if you don’t pay 300 yuan. If you complain to the tourism bureau, I’m not afraid either.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Xi rolled up his sleeves and walked towards him honestly: “I have no money.”
The woman who spoke saw his thin and white wrists, as thin as firewood, and hurriedly raised her hands to stop him. She was angered by the security captain’s shameless words and gasped several times.
Her husband immediately held her shoulders with concern. The woman patted the back of her husband’s hand to indicate that she was fine, and said to Wei Xi, “You don’t have to go out.”
Wei Xi looked at her doubtfully, couldn’t he just leave after a fight?
But the woman said to the security captain: “Is it okay if I pay the fine for him?”
The security captain looked at the sparkling ring on her finger and the diamond watch on her wrist, then his face changed, and he reluctantly replied: “What could be wrong if you are willing to give me money?”
The woman took out her wallet with a cold face, took out three banknotes, slapped them on the armrest, and pushed Wei Xi: “Let’s go.”
At this time, Wei Xi finally understood that the other person was helping him, and he pressed his back against the other person’s hand. He did not instinctively become wary, but just looked at the other person’s face with a look of anger and confusion.
This woman had an aristocratic temperament, had beads on her ears, and was charitable, but upon closer inspection, she actually had a melancholy face.
Meeting her gentle gaze, Wei Xi’s interest in fighting weakened a lot for some reason, so after a moment of silence, he just turned back to the middle-aged man who had taken the money and said with a stern expression: “If you don’t want your wife and children to be separated from you, you are in trouble.”
The palace of husband and wife at the end of this man’s eyes was so dim that it was about to be extinguished. All the way to the forehead, such that his relationship with his children and heirs was also implicated. With only a few changes, the sinister and violent eyebrows would turn into a face that was lonely and had no one to support him.
When the security captain heard this, his eyebrows stood up immediately. The woman quickly dragged Wei Xi away. After leaving the scenic spot, she angrily lectured: “You are still making trouble. With your small body, you are not big enough for someone to hit you with a stick.”
After cursing, she took out two hundred yuan from her wallet, looked around at Wei Xi’s tattered clothes, and seemed to feel that she had no idea what to do with him, and finally sighed and stuffed them into his backpack.
She said: “You dare to go out to play without even a penny. Today’s children are really becoming more and more incompetent.”
Wei Xi was not angry even after being taught a lesson. He thought strangely, why do women outside always give him things for free?
First came the delicious cakes, and then the money.
His thoughts suddenly stopped and he raised his head in shock. A beast about two people long was galloping from the front. Its body was pitch black, its eyes were wide open, it was roaring in a low voice, and its face was full of ferocity.
Wei Xi raised his hand to fight, but the beast suddenly stopped, and a young man came out and said hello: “Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, are you back?”
This beast was actually being driven by humans!
The woman, probably Mrs. Lin, nodded gently to the visitor, and then said goodbye to Wei Xi: “The car is here, we are leaving, you should go back early.”
As she finished speaking, Wei Xi raised his hand to stop her. Wei Xi looked at the car and then at her forehead: “Don’t get in.”
Mrs. Lin was stunned for a moment: “What?”
Her husband, who had never paid any attention to Wei Xi, also frowned when he saw this: “What do you want to do?”
Wei Xi ignored him, just looked at Mrs. Lin and asked, “Recently, your family has been plagued by trivial matters and many problems, causing your health to deteriorate and your energy to be low?”
Mrs. Lin’s expression suddenly changed. She glanced at Wei Xi’s tattered Taoist robe, her attitude immediately became tense, and she asked cautiously: “How did you know?”
Because the couple’s heads were both shiny and black, just like the original owner of Wei Xi’s body, they were facing a dark cloud that was about to cause disaster. This kind of unlucky appearance also followed the young man who had just gotten off the beast called “Car”.
Wei Xi was about to explain, but Mrs. Lin’s husband had already opened the car door with a frown and helped his wife into the car without saying a word: “Let’s go, let’s go.”
Mrs. Lin: “…Lin Hanyang, I haven’t finished speaking yet. What are you doing?”
Mr. Lin was speechless for a while. He never believed in these strange things, but he couldn’t resist the fact that the women in his home were willing to believe them. In addition, things had been becoming really hard at home these past few years. His wife had never been able to conceive a child and was frail and sick. Recently, the company had also begun to suffer some losses. Although in his opinion this was just normal poor health and changes in the market economy, his mother didn’t know from where got the thought that there was something wrong with the ancestral house in his hometown. So much so that during the Golden Week, the couple was summoned all the way back to this small town to burn incense and worship Buddha and make donations to eliminate disasters. They also invited a bunch of “masters” to say that they would choose a day to perform the ritual. Today, they were even arranged to go to pray for blessings at this mountain temple on the mountain, which was said to be very efficacious.
Lin Hanyang had been traveling back and forth with his frail wife these days and had seen countless mysterious “masters” in his ancestral home. Now he had a headache when he heard this.
Wei Xi noticed his vigilance and tilted his head expressionlessly. He saw Mrs. Lin eagerly rolling down the window after Mr. Lin closed the door to talk to him.
After thinking about it, Mr. Lin didn’t want to believe his own advice. Wei Xi hesitated for a moment before deciding whether to knock him unconscious and take away Mrs. Lin’s choice. However, he gave up on the idea after seeing clearly that Mrs. Lin’s body was so weak that it seemed that it couldn’t withstand any shock. The talisman he brought out had already been given to the woman selling cakes when he was on the mountain. He thought about it, pulled off a piece of sleeve, made two gestures on the cloth, and handed it to Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin, who was anxious because she couldn’t open the door, answered with a confused look on her face: “???”
Wei Xi pointed to the money that Mrs. Lin had just stuffed into the basket: “Consider this money as payment.”
Not to mention Mrs. Lin, even Mr. Lin, who was sitting next to his wife, looked confused. He glanced at the two hundred-yuan bills in the basket, thinking that this was not quite right.
But no matter what he said, it was a good thing to get away. He really didn’t want to hear any topics about feudal superstition now.
Women – well, even if they had long hair and short knowledge, they would believe this.
Before setting off, the car suddenly shook violently. Mr. Lin was startled. He immediately supported his wife and asked the driver, “What’s going on?”
The driver looked at the rearview mirror and found nothing unusual. He scratched his head and said, “It’s okay. It may be that the rocks on the road have collapsed.”
The dark black car drove slowly towards the highway. Pedestrians on the scenic road occasionally looked back when they were avoiding it, and asked their companions to look back with strange expressions on their faces: “Look at that Cayenne, why are the tail lights missing?”
Wei Xi watched Mrs. Lin leave, and then began to look at the “eyes” that he had just torn off from the beast. This beast was really strong, and it could still walk as if nothing happened after being so seriously injured.
He brought the eye to his mouth, took a bite, chewed it carefully, and immediately frowned, his eyes becoming disgusted.
It was bland and tasteless, too tough and not as tasty as the cake.
Forget it, just make do with it.
