However, a penny is hard to kill a hero. Now, not to mention 100,000, I can't get 10,000.
The 100,000 deposit has already been called to Lu Yue. After all, she needs it urgently. Celestron has yet to find a home. The remaining 200,000 has not yet been deposited, and the remaining 5,000 in the card. It's all tight, where do I have the spare money to buy other things...
Money is indeed not a panacea, but you have to admit that it is the foundation of the operation of this society, and it is necessary for everyone to survive. Having money doesn't necessarily mean you live a hundred years, but you can't do anything without money.
Although opportunities always come suddenly, but this is too sudden, at least give me some time to buffer and save some money.
"Thank you, but I… Forget it, leave it to someone else."
Many thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant, including asking my aunt to borrow money, asking Yang Haiyang to borrow money, and even asking my family to borrow money, all of which were rejected by me.
When I wanted to buy a house, my parents didn't support it and thought I couldn't afford it. Thanks to my aunt who lent me part of the down payment, I bought the current suite. It wasn't until last year that the money was fully paid off.
I don't want to add new accounts after the old ones are over. I always ask my aunt for money and become her burden. And Yang Haiyang wants to raise a child and expand the store. Now is the time to use the money, so it is not appropriate to ask him to borrow it. My parents' side... not to mention.
I'm not like Lu Yue, I'm not a last resort. For me, the exoskeleton is a rare opportunity, but it is just like an ordinary person who encounters a big discount overseas tour. If you grab it, it is a trip that you want to leave. If you miss it, the big deal is to stay at home.
For me, it doesn't really make a lot of difference whether I'm standing with an exoskeleton or sitting in a wheelchair, other than being able to breathe higher air.
"Ah?" The physical therapist was stunned, as if a long-distance runner who was about to run to the finish line to celebrate winning the championship was overtaken by someone behind him at the last second. There was a bit of shock and disbelief mixed in his confusion.
"I don't have 100,000. Give it to someone else, there will be someone who needs it more than me." I wiped the sweat from Bo's neck and walked to the locker room.
"Then I... Then I'll call and confirm with the other party." The physiotherapist's voice said indifferently behind him.
There is no shortage of good people who know the goods. Within a few days, Celestron found a buyer.
The other party found me through a second-hand resale post on the local astronomical stargazing forum, and expressed their willingness to pay 200,000 to buy the telescope and pick up the goods in person.
After I made an agreement with the other party, he and his friends came to inspect the goods early the next morning.
"Your telescope is really good, and you lost 200,000 yuan." The buyer is in his 40s and is a professional stargazing enthusiast. He is also well-known on the forum and likes to share star maps taken from various places. The forum id is called "thirsty fish", so everyone calls him old fish.
"Then is it too late for me to raise the price now?" I laughed.
"That won't work, you have to be honest in doing business." Maybe he was afraid that I would really regret it, so he quickly took out his mobile phone and transferred money to me.
In just two minutes, the 200,000 yuan was all transferred to my bank card.
After proficiently inspecting the various parts, Lao Yu and his friend carefully removed the telescope from the stand, divided it into several parts for easy transportation, wrapped it in foam paper, and went downstairs one by one.
Seeing that the binoculars were about to be taken away, the pain of giving up came afterward. As if they took away not a telescope, but some kind of parasite attached to my flesh, attached to my blood, deeply entangled with the nerves of pain—tolerate it, it’s like a burden, it’s not good for me; get rid of it It, the rot will always be healed, but to suffer inhuman pain.
"Wait!" I stopped Lao Yu, drove the wheelchair to his side, slowly raised my hand, and through the foam paper, stroked my Celeste for the last time, "I'll leave it to you, treat it well."
Lao Yu smiled: "Why are you like marrying a daughter, you know, I will treat it well."
I sent them downstairs, and when their car drove out of the community, I couldn't see it at all. I stayed under the porch for a while, until my face was numb, and then I turned around and entered the door.
There is an empty space in the living room, which is strange. But as far as my current financial situation is concerned, it can only be left empty.
He entered the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water, frowned, and glanced at the opposite building, but couldn't see anything.
I always feel like someone was just looking over here...
I didn't see any suspicious people, I just thought I was over-hearted, I went to the living room with the water glass, and didn't take this episode to heart.
I thought He Weizhou wanted to invite me, but he was probably just talking about it. I didn't expect him to be an activist, so he made an appointment during the winter vacation.
He sent me a link, asked if I was free on Saturday, clicked on it, and found that it was a concert presentation of Holst's "Planet" suite.
The "Planet" suite is divided into seven movements, named after the other seven planets in the solar system except the earth. Because the orchestra is too large, the whole piece is rarely performed, and most of them only perform part of the movement.
But this one that He Weizhou sent to me turned out to be the whole song.
If I missed the exoskeleton, I might have to wait until the next opportunity. If I missed this concert, I might not have to wait until the next time.
The surgery fee for Dad Lu has already been collected, and I don't need to be so fiddly anymore. There were still 5,000 in hand, so it was not a problem to buy a ticket, so without any hesitation, I made an appointment with He Weizhou to go to the concert on Saturday.
It was also a coincidence that he made an appointment. Saturday was the penultimate day of the winter vacation, and the school started on Monday, so I might not be free if it was later.
On Saturday, He Weizhou told me not to drive, saying he would drive to pick me up.
In fact, I'd rather drive by myself. Taking someone else's car, not to mention getting in and out of the car, I always have to trouble others to store the wheelchair, which makes me very sorry.
This evening, the "Planet" suite was brought by the well-known Elos Symphony Orchestra in China. The techniques and coordination were flawless. Lingli perfectly expresses the different emotions expressed in each movement, the decline of Saturn, the peace of Venus, the mystery of Neptune... The most famous one is Mars, full of gunpowder smoke, which can be described as majestic.
If he listened to this with Shang Muxiao, he would definitely be so bored that he fell asleep.
The smile on my lips just started, and my heart froze, I recovered, and hurriedly eliminated the other party from my mind. However, once the mood is disturbed, after that, I can no longer focus on the music anyway.
On the way back, He Weizhou asked me how I felt. I was basically in a trance in the second half, and I couldn’t control it, so I gave a somewhat shy evaluation—very good.
"You look a little bad, are you uncomfortable?" He Weizhou took time to look at me and asked worriedly.
"No, I'm fine." Just thinking of Shang Muxiao, listening to Mars, Mercury, and Pluto, I couldn't help but recall the scene of stargazing with him before.
It was so torturous.
I wanted to walk alone, so I asked He Weizhou to stop directly at the gate of the community.
He pulled over and stopped, took out the wheelchair from the trunk and unfolded it for me, and then took me through the gate of the community.
"I can go home alone, our community is very safe..." I could hardly laugh or cry. Does it make him feel that I need protection everywhere because I am disabled
"Okay, I'll send it here, you can go in for the rest..." He suddenly stopped and looked ahead with a look of surprise.
I looked in the direction he was looking, and saw Shang Muxiao was also looking at us.
He didn't wear a coat, only a thin sweater was standing by the flower bed, holding a rope in his hand, the other end kept shaking in the grass, and he couldn't see clearly in the dim light, but he guessed from the vague colors that it should be It's a... dog.
Why did he walk the dog in the middle of the night
No, in the middle of the night, why did he walk the dog in my neighborhood
"Isn't that egg yolk?"
He Weizhou recognized the puppy he had healed at a glance. He was very happy to meet again after a long absence. He went up to touch the dog, but Shang Muxiao took the lead, lifted the puppy up, and blocked He Weizhou from approaching.
"What?" He looked disgusted and his voice was cold, "Don't you know that you can't touch other people's dogs without the owner's consent?"
He Weizhou touched his nose awkwardly: "Uh... I'm sorry."
"Why are you here?" I asked in confusion.
He glanced at me, touched the soft fur of the puppy in his arms and said, "Have you bought this entire community? You don't care why I am here."
I was choked a lot by him, but it was true... I didn't build the roads in the community, nor did I build the gates, and Shang Muxiao was not me. He wanted to come and how he came, it was his business, and my business. It doesn't matter.
His gaze moved down and landed on the little dog he was holding. I can't handle him, but I can handle the dog.
"Give me the dog back."
He snorted: "My dog, why should I pay you back?"
"You..." I saw that he meant that he didn't want to pay it back, and he was a little anxious. "This dog was only temporarily fostered with you at the beginning. You can't be such a rogue."
"Do you have any evidence?" It seemed that he was sincere against me. I said he was a rogue, and he showed me that he was a complete rogue. "If you have evidence, go to the police. I will wait for the police to arrest me."
I closed my eyes, trying to calm down. This is not the place to fight, and there is a third person, calm down.
Afraid that Shang Muxiao would say something inappropriate, I intend to send He Weizhou away and let him go first.
He Weizhou was not very relieved: "Do you want me to take you to the door?"
"No. Let's go. It's not easy to park at the entrance, and it's not good if you get a ticket." As I said that, I looked at the opposite Shang Muxiao, "Our community is very safe."
At my insistence, He Weizhou turned around and walked three steps. Before leaving, he did not forget to let me get home and send him a message. He looked like he was afraid that Shang Muxiao would throw me into the grass and devour me halfway through.
"Did you just come back from a date?" He stood in the moonlight, his nose was slightly red from the cold because he was wearing too little, and he spoke in a nasal voice, "You are quite considerate."
The right palm holding the dog has been bandaged, and now it looks like a dark red scab, and the wound looks like a punch on the glass.
"Are you sure you're not returning the dog?" Ignoring his nonsense, I focused on the dog and didn't want to worry about why he appeared here in the middle of the night.
He twitched the corners of his mouth, as if deliberately provocative, and read the two words separately: "No-return."
"Then you take good care of it, and one day you don't want to raise it, just give it back to me."
I didn't say more, I controlled the wheelchair to leave, and when I passed by him, I suddenly couldn't move.
Looking back, it was sure that he was holding the wheelchair handle.
"Is my stuff still there?" Before I could say anything, he spoke first, "I changed my mind, I want to get my stuff back."
He lowered his eyes, paused slightly, and made a fatal addition: "All."
