In midsummer, it was extremely hot.
Although the night was not as scorched as the day, it was still more sultry.
The men in Xiaowa village were used to swimming in the river at the entrance of the village before going to bed to relieve the summer heat.
While women had to wait for the men to leave before they began washing.
Of course, there were those who were shy, so they could only scoop some water and wash in the yard.
As the bachelor in the village, Lin Shan would not miss this good opportunity, hiding in the grass on the other side of the river every time, waiting for the women to take a bath.
But the weather was not fine tonight. Dark clouds covered the moon and the ground was completely dark.
"The bad weather! I've been in the water for an hour! '' Lin Shan bitterly scolded , then he swam to the far shore and headed for his own home.
When he passed a small courtyard, he suddenly heard the sound of rushing water behind the wall.
"This is Sister Xinghua's house. Isn't she taking a shower? " Lin Shan impulsed in a moment .
The Sister Xinghua was a famous beauty in local. She was skin white and beautiful, tall and had a pair of eyes that can made one's bones crisp at a glance.
Since she married Xiaowa village, she had become the dream lover of all the men in the village.
Although she gave birth to a baby in the past two years and was somewhat plump, she was more beautiful and attractive.
The amorous feelings of mature women were the most deadly to men like Lin Shan who never had sex.
Lin Shan couldn't help imaging of the beauty of Sister Xinghua. He ran up the wall and told himself: "Just have a look, just have a look . . . "
But at this moment, Lin Shan suddenly remembered the words his grandfather told himself before his death: "Don't fail to do good even it is small, don't engage in evil even it is small. Grandpa doesn't expect you to be a successful man, just hope you can be a good person. "
Lin Shan stopped climbing up the wall in a sudden.
And because of the impulse and Pentium surge of blood, also being cold in an instant .
"Boom! '' Suddenly, a loud thunder exploded in air.
Then, a demon evil blue lightning struck Lin Shan, sending him screaming and falling down the wall.
"Who? Who is outside? " Hearing the cry, Sister Xinghua who was bathing in the courtyard immediately issued a charming rebuke of shame and anger.
Lin Shan dared not to hesitate, he hurriedly got up from the ground, limping mess and ran away.
He ran home and closed the door, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shit! Is this little thing going to be thunderstruck? No, I have to drink a glass of wine to calm me down! ''
Lin Shan picked up the wine bottle, poured a glass of white wine and poured it upward.
"Suck . . . " Lin Shan slurped the mouth, with the heat throat, he felt much better, but he still felt some numbness on one side.
He walked to the door and looked at the sky with some fright. Although the weather was sultry, there was no sign of raining.
Today this thunder and lightning was a little weird!
"Bullshit! My phone! '' Lin Shan hurriedly pulled out his cell phone from his pocket.
This was the first time for Lin Shan to get into the mountain. He had worked hard for a month to collect medicine. In addition, he had saved up enough money to buy it. If he was damaged by lightning, he would have to suffer terribly.
Lin Shan checked carefully for several times to make sure it was not bad. Then he was relieved: "It's not bad ... Hey, how did the WeChat icon change? "
Only in the upper right corner of the WeChat icon, there was an odd lightning symbol.
He opened WeChat with curiosity and immediately found out that there was a red envelope from a stranger in WeChat.
More interesting was the message: "Great grandpa, I am your great grandson , Lin Xiaobai, I come from the end of 200 years, i will send you a message. If you had received it, please send some food through red envelopes immediately! I hope you could as soon as possible! I'm starving! ''
"There are others who call themselves grandchildren! '' Lin Shan smiled and thought it was a prank.
However, driven by curiosity, he sent a red envelope.
But then, suddenly, a diamond the size of a soybean and sparkling came out of his hand.
"What! What's going on? " Lin Shan looked at the diamond in his hand and could not help but exclaim.
It took him a long time to understand. He quickly checked WeChat, only to find that the lightning symbol on the icon was gone. Instead, he opened WeChat, "You received a red envelope from Lin Xiaobai. "
"Hiss . . . Is this diamond sent through a red envelope? " With Lin Shan's surprise, he read the message again.
After a little hesitation, he returned a message to the other party, but it showed that the message had failed to be sent.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Lin Shan made a little thought and decided to give him some food first as the other party said.
Whether success or failure,I should try it firstly.
Lin Shan went to the kitchen, brought some white flour steamed buns, and then clicked on the red envelope. A different picture appeared on the mobile phone page: "Please put in low-value items, the number is limited to 10!''
"How interesting! '' Lin Shan grabbed the steamed bread, and the next moment the steamed bread in his hand appeared in the red envelope, showing a number of one.
In this way, five large white steamed buns were all put into red envelopes one after another. Lin Shan wrote in the message: "What is going on? "
Click the Send, the red envelope was sent successfully!
However, the other party did not receive it immediately. After waiting for more than an hour and he didn't receive it, Lin Shan was too sleepy to lie down and fell asleep.
He also didn't know how long he had slept. He was awakened by the sound of knocking the gate.
"Who is it? " Lin Shan did not open his eyes and shouted impatiently.
"It's me! Open the door quickly! '' A familiar woman's voice came from outside the yard.
" Sister Xinghua? !"Lin Shan sat up, wiped his face casually, just stepped on slippers and rushed out.
Opening the gate, Lin Shan smelled the fragrance of Sister Xinghua and asked with a smile, " Sister Xinghua! Good morning, what can I do for you? "
Sister Xinghua mercilessly stared at Lin Shan, she didn't talk and went into the yard, headed for the house.
Lin Shan quickly followed her, putting the messy things away, while apologizing and laughing, "The house is too messy, I'm sorry. Take a seat ! ''
Sister Xinghua ignored him, glared at Lin Shan indifferently, qualitative asked: "Be serious! Tell me, did you watch me take a shower last night? "
"How is it possible . . . " Lin Shan shook his head like a rattle.
Sister Xinghua threw a vest on Lin Shan's head and said with shame, "Is this your clothes? I found it under the wall of my house. Do you still want to deny it? "
Lin Shan grabbed it and immediately cried, "It's over. It's really yellow mud on the crotch. Though it's not excrement, it is excrement. "
The bottom of his heart secretly complained, but he pretended to be very relaxed, he smiled: " Sister Xinghua, a coat also can't explain anything? Last night I slept at home all the time and didn't go out at all. As for this coat, it may have been taken out by my dog. As you know, the dog in my family is the most naughty and it likes to take things out . . . "
"Want the dog to take the blame for you? Okay, then I'll go to the village chief and let his old man's house comment! '' Sister Xinghua said and walked out.
"Hey, sister-in-law, don't worry, just clam down,please. " Lin Shan immediately was in panic, he quickly took Sister Xinghua's arm with a smile.
He had a bad reputation in the village. If this matter was publicized again, he would certainly be even more unpopular.
Especially the old village chief, he was severe to him. If the chief had known about this, he would be beaten to death!
With a snort of cold, Sister Xinghua shook off her arm and said, "What do you want to do? Admitted? "
"Sister-in-law, it was so dark last night. In fact i didn't see anything . . . " Lin Shan explained barely.
"Whether you see it or not, just admit it. I ask you, is this a public matter or a private matter? " Sister Xinghua was asked aggressively.
Lin Shan, with a sad face, said: "Sister-in-law, don't you have to bother the old village chief about this small matter? "
"If you want to deal with it in private, as long as you give me 2, 000 yuan, we can call it mental damage compensation, I'll take it as if it never happened! I won't tell anyone about it! '' When Xinghua said this, her expression was somewhat unnatural.
"Two thousand? Sister-in-law, isn't this a trivial matter? " Lin Shan wore a wry smile, but at the bottom of his heart, he was a little surprised.
In general, Sister Xinghua was not such a person. Besides, her husband worked outside and earned a lot of money for a month. They didn't need money at all.
But why?
Were the rumors true?
Lin Shan couldn't help asking: "Sister-in-law, has Debiao not sent money to you for several months?"
Sister Xinghua immediately changed her attitude, and distinguished anxiously: "Who said that? My husband sends me money every month. Don't listen to people gossiping about it! "
"Then why do you seize this little thing and blackmail me? In my opinion, you are not the one who loves money. " Lin Shan stared at the Xinghua and said.
Sister Xinghua became angry and embarrassed: "If you peek at me taking a bath, you should compensate me for my mental loss. "Whether you give or not? Why don't we find the old village chief to do a justice? "
"Sister-in-law, you don't always frighten me with the old village chief! " Lin Shan said with a wry smile.
Seeing Xinghua's anxious expression and some redness in her eyes, he immediately felt sorry for himself and nodded quickly and promised: "Okay, but now I can't give it to you yet. Because I don't have so much money, I have to go to the town to get it. "
When Lin Shan agreed with her request, Xinghua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's just that I'm going to the county to do business. I'll come with you. You can take the money and give it directly to me. "
"It seems that Sister Xinghua has something to do. " Lin Shan thought in his heart, then he nodded and said, "OK, wait for me, I'll take a change and let's go. "
Lin Shan went into the room to change his clothes, took his bank card, put the diamond into his pocket, and went out of the village with Sister Xinghua.
Xiaowa Village was surrounded by mountains, and traffic was inconvenient. Until now, it had not been able to reach the highway. Only a narrow path winding in the mountains led to the outside world.
Therefore, if someone wanted to enter the town, he had to cross the mountain on foot.
The two started in the morning and walked until almost noon before they came to the town.
Standing in front of the bank, Xinghua said to Lin Shan, "Get the money, I'll wait for you here. "
"Okay, I'll be right out. " Lin Shan promised and walked to the ATM.
Entering the password, the screen showed the balance, only two thousand, the bottom of his heart unavoidably some hesitation, this was all his money. If he gave it to Sister Xinghua, he was a really poor man.
But turning to see the burning sun, Sister Xinghua was so anxious. He had a soft place in his heart .
This woman shall be in trouble, otherwise she would not have used this extreme method.
In Lin Shan's eyes, Sister Xinghua had always been a good woman.
She accompanied her husband and educated the children. She was filial piety in-laws and kind-hearted, she got along well with neighbors and never quarreled with anyone.
Even for people like Lin Shan, who was hated by everyone, she would never look him indifferently.
This was also the reason why Lin Shan was willing to be blackmailed by Sister Xinghua, so he should give her a hand.
Therefore, he resolutely took out the money and looked at the remaining balance of tens of yuan. Lin Shan couldn't help showing a forced smile.
Perhaps this was why I had always been a single man.
I thought I had lived for nearly 30 years, but I had only this amount of savings. I really had lived like a dog.
I had nothing at all. I've been idle all day. I didn't make any progress.
This kind of person, which girl would like to marry him?
But if that diamond was real, all of this would be completely changed!
Touching the diamond in the jacket pocket, Lin Shan felt better again.
Walking out of the bank, Lin Shan handed 2, 000 yuan to Xinghua and said, "Sister-in-law, if you are in trouble, just let me know. Although I don't know what happened, I can still do my best! ''
"Thank you! '' Xinghua looked at Lin Shan with a complicated expression and walked towards the bus stop hurriedly.
Lin Shan also stepped forward because he was going to the county and was going to find a place to sell the diamond for money.
"What are you doing with me? " Seeing Lin Shan following with her, Sister Xinghua frowned subconsciously.
Lin Shan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to the county too, not following with you. "
"What are you doing in the county town? " Sister Xinghua asked doubtfully.
Lin Shan did not want to talk about diamonds, so he made up an excuse.
Xinghua naturally did not believe it, and snorted indifferently, " Lin Shan, I warn you, although I will not pursue you for peeking at me taking a shower, you should not think too much of me either! Otherwise I will tell the old village chief! ''
"Sister-in-law, what do you think of me? I admit that I have a lot of minor problems, but I still have my own principles when it comes to major and minor issues. " Lin Shan said seriously.
Sister Xinghua hesitated for a moment and said in a muffled voice: "Then don't follow me! ''
"I didn't expect you will think me like this! Well, I won't follow you. Can you rest assured? " Lin Shan said with sorrow.
Sister Xinghua bit her lip and seemed to want to have an explanation, but after all she said nothing and left quickly.
Watching Sister Xinghua leaving, Lin Shan walked towards the station angrily.
Today's incident really made him panic!
When he came to the bus station, he was surprised to see that Sister Xinghua was running around the station square like crazy, she was still holding people and asking questions from time to time.
Lin Shan wanted to go and he wanted to know what had happened, but when he thought of Xinghua's vigilance to himself, he dismissed the idea and stopped asking it.
After buying a ticket at the ticket booth, Lin Shan found a bus to the county and took it.
At that moment, he heard what the passengers on the bus were talking about.
"It is said that money does not reveal itself. In a place where like the station, how can all the money be taken out? That's terrible. All the money has been stolen. "
"Yes, this place is full of thieves. As a man, I did dare not take so much cash . . . "
"The woman is poor enough! How does she worried, the money must be important, but it was stolen . . . Alas, this world . . . "
After listening for a while, Lin Shan understood what was going on. He asked a nearby uncle hurriedly "Uncle, did you just say a woman lost her money? "
"Yes, this is not still looking for outside. How is it possible to find this? People have already run away and disappeared! '' Uncle pointed out the window of the bus and saw Xinghua, who was running away.
Before the uncle finished his words, Lin Shan rushed out of the bus. He caught up with the flustered Xinghua and said, "Sister-in-law, calm down! You can't find it if you continue looking for it like this! ''
"Money is lost . . . what should I do . . . " Sister Xinghua was helpless, finally she can't help crying out loudly.
Lin Shan took Sister Xinghua by the arm and comforted her: "Sister-in-law, don't worry . . . "
"I don't hurry? This is life-saving money . . . " Xinghua suddenly cried excitedly.
"Life-saving money? " Lin Shan looked at the Xinghua with shock and disbelief. Then his face turned grave. He grabbed her by the shoulder and asked in a heavy voice, "Sister-in-law, what happened? If you don't tell me anything, I can't help you. "
After all, Xinghua was a woman. She lost her life-saving money at the moment. She was somewhat panicked and did not know what to do.
Hearing Lin Shan's words, she grabbed at the straw and said, "Shanzi, you must help me. "
Lin Shan nodded and said, "No matter what happened, I will try my best to help you. "
"Thank you, Shanzi. " Sister Xinghua was in a dilemma again, then she just confessed: "I can tell you this matter, but I hope you can keep it a secret for me, or I cannot live! ''
Lin Shan nodded heavily and said, "Well, I promise, it will rot in my stomach and nobody will know anything. "
Sister Xinghua looked at Lin Shan, then bit her lip slightly and said sadly, "Your guess was right before! Debiao has not sent me any money for months. "
Lin Shan immediately turned pale and asked, "Was all the rumors in the village true? Debiao brother really has an affair outside? "
Xinghua nodded and said: "I didn't believe it before, but two months ago I went to the city to find him and saw him staying with a woman. "
"Then you are using the money now. Is someone from your family sick? " Lin Shan speculated.
Sister Xinghua shook her head and said sadly, "It's Debiao! He called me in the middle of the night yesterday and said he lost money in gambling. If he didn't send the money today, somebody else will cut off his finger . . . "
"Is there such a thing? " Lin Shan listened to some accidents, then looked at Sister Xinghuaand asked, "Sister-in-law, don't you blame Debiao for doing this to you? "
Sister Xinghua bit her lip and said, "Human life is a big matter! No matter how he treats me, he will still be the father of the children. I cannot be insensible! But now that the money has been stolen, what should I do? "
"What a nice woman! '' Lin Shan suddenly sighed.
"What? "
"Oh, I mean you don't have to worry, I'll think of some way to deal with the money. " Lin Shan said.
Hearing Lin Shan saying so, Xinghua immediately showed shame and said: "I'm sorry, Shanzi, I shouldn't have done that to you before! I also can't help it, this kind of thing, I don't want to let the villagers know, at that time the feeling be nasty to move the slanting idea, but I didn't want to blackmail you, just want to get through this snag, then I will try to return you the money . . . "
"This is a self-respecting woman! '' Lin Shanxin thought.
Then he motioned with his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to say anything, I understand. Well, let's go to the county first. The matter of money can be discussed in the county, and the bus will soon leave. "
Sister Xinghua also didn't have an idea at this time, then she listened to Lin Shan, and together with him on the bus.
About an hour later, the two arrived at the county.
Lin Shan brought Sister Xinghua to Qingshan County, the sole comprehensive shopping mall, Wanbo Shopping Mall.
At this moment, Xinghua also calmed down and asked in surprise, "Shanzi, what are we doing here? "
"Withdraw the money. "To be honest, Lin Shan was not sure at this time, because he did not know whether the diamond was real or not and whether it could be sold for money.
Entering the mall, they took the elevator to the second floor.
Lin Shan found a counter selling gold and silver jewelry and diamond rings: "Excuse me, do you buy diamonds here? "
The waiter was entertaining customers at this time. After listening to Lin Shan, she glanced at Lin Shan first.
Seeing the rustic clothes he was wearing, he immediately showed contempt and said impatiently, "We sell diamond rings. Go and ask elsewhere. "
"Why don't you look at the things first? I have a very good diamond. " Lin Shan could not help but say again.
In Qingshan County, he only knew that it was possible to sell diamonds here. If they did not accept the diamond, he would be in trouble.
"What's the matter with you? If you don't accept it, you won't accept it. Leave now! Don't delay our business. " The waitress looked at Lin Shan disgustedly and said.
"What is your attitude? You don't accept, I will not sell it! Bullshit! On earth, you are just a waitress. Why do you look down on people? " Lin Shan was a risk-averse who does not suffer. He was ridiculed by the waitress's barrage of supercilious look and could not help giving her a lesson.
"You. . . !" The waitress was angry and her face became red, she pointed to Lin Shan speechlessly at the moment.
"What do you want to say? Am I wrong? Why don't you take a mirror to look at your face, Bah! '' Lin Shan felt happy, then he pulled Sister Xinghua hurriedly and turned away.
"Wait a minute! '' Just then, a woman's voice suddenly shouted behind him.
Lin Shan thought he was standing up for the waiter, so he stopped and looked back with poor eyes. However, it was the female customer who had just picked out the necklace at the counter.
"What can I do for you? " Lin Shan surprised looked at the woman and asked.
This woman was about 20 years old, with oval face, black eyebrow, cherry mouth, small nose, delicate facial features, and very beautiful. In addition, her skin was white, tender and smooth, which added another sense of beauty.
Wearing a white dress with a wide neckline and a beautiful collarbone, she was sexy and charming. Her long black hair was coiled high, making her neck more slender and her air better.
"Mr. Wang said just now that there are diamonds to sell? " The beauty felt uncomfortable for Lin Shan's hot eyes, so she frowned her eyebrow subconsciously.
"This girl is not bad! '' Lin Shan praised it in his heart, then narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Yes, do you want to buy it? "
"I have to look it first. " The beauty nodded and said.
Lin Shan hesitated for a moment, then said, "No problem, but we have to change another place. "
"Yes, we can go to the cafe over there. " The beauty looked around, and then suggested.
Seeing that his customer was leaving, the waiter was anxious: "Lady, don't you look at the necklace? This is the best selling style now. If you don't buy it, someone else may buy it soon. "
"Let me look at this gentleman's diamond first. " The beauty said.
"Young lady, he is a country bumpkin, how can there be diamonds? You don't be fooled . . . " The waiter said, it seemed that she was for the sake of the beauty.
But in fact, the beauty in her eyes was her achievement and money, how did she would like to give up?
"I think you are more like a liar, trying to cheat this beautiful lady to buy a necklace, so you can earn a percentage? " Lin Shan said directly.
Then he heaped up a smiling face and complimented the lady in white dress and said, "Young lady, this kind of person, no matter how nice she speaks, she is also for earning a cut and never consider for the customers. Let's ignore her, or go and see my diamond. This diamond is definitely a good thing, it will be a shame if you miss it . . . "
"Let's go. " The beauty smiled, she thought this countryman was quite interested.
"Damn! '' The waiter looked at her customer and was pulled away by Lin Shan, gnashing her teeth with hatred.
Later she took out her mobile phone and dialed a number: "Brother Fei, someone bullied me, you have to help me get out of it . . . Yes, he is in Wanbo now . . . Well, I'm waiting for you . . . "
"Hillbilly! We will meet soon! '' After hanging up the phone, the waitress looked at Lin Shan's back and said bitterly.
