Chapter 14 The Side Effects of the Ring.
"Little fifth brother ......," Yan Di's voice is a little trembling, gently shouted me, that pair of bright eyes are also a little lost in thought.
I also immediately came to my senses, trying my best to suppress my inner shock, my face barely just squeezed out a smile, as if it was very relaxed: "It seems that our luck is really ...... good."
Yan Di seemed to groan, his body was a little soft, and his hands all seemed to be unable to pinch the lottery ticket.
This scene was indeed a little too scary.
Winning the lottery, originally is a joyful thing, but things over the top, it's a little too weird to be scary.
But my heart is fierce, as if there is a spiritual light crossing ......
This ring!
I tried my best to suppress my inner excitement, forcibly suppressed all kinds of scary thoughts that popped up in my head, swallowed hard, reached out to hold Yan Di who was already weak in the legs, "Okay, don't say anything, let's go to redeem the prize first."
God knows my heart is beating like a drum at this moment.
Yan Di glanced at me and said feebly, "Uh-huh."
Both of our faces were red with excitement.
By the time we walked to the prize collection office and handed over the lottery tickets in our hands, an obese middle-aged woman sitting in front of us had a professional smile on her face one second and wanted to say "congratulations on winning the lottery" or something like that, but the next second she saw the stack of lottery tickets I handed over, and the expression on her face changed from curiosity to shock in an instant! ...... Then she stiffened completely.
Her mouth also fixed on a standard "O" shaped letter of the mouth, fortunately, I first step buried up, reached out and pressed her shoulders, only to stop this woman excitedly jumped up.
But the look on her face was wonderful! I've never seen a person's expression that can make so many changes in a split second. From a smile, to later, to shock, and then to complete "shutdown".
The other staff members were puzzled and immediately let out a gasp when they came to look at him!
I know that this thing can not be covered up, can only stand quietly in front of them, listening to these men and women exclaimed for a full five minutes, see the trend of the wind storm has more and more expanding, only to take a deep breath, loudly drank: "can cash prizes!
I immediately shouted this mid-term full of shouting many people back to God, the first to react is a slightly older old man. He wore a pair of glasses, first in front of me in charge of prize redemption of the fat woman pulled away, and then looked at me barely squeezed out a smile: "You can wait a moment, we have to go through the formalities, and please take out your ID card to register it okay?"
Hmph, formalities? I think it's to verify the authenticity of the lottery ticket.
But it's no wonder, anyone who encounters this kind of thing, the first reaction must be: to hell with it!
I didn't move my face and took out my ID card to register.
I have seen many novels written in which the protagonist relies on the lottery to become rich, but he can hide his identity ...... In fact, this is not possible at all!
Any kind of legal income from blogging has to pay taxes! To pay taxes, you have to go through the procedures related to the tax department. Your ID card is pulled out and all the information is immediately available.
Claiming the prize there is a tax department staff, I filled out two forms, and then signed a few names, after waiting for half an hour, that seems to be the person in charge of the same old man came over, originally in the afternoon the temperature is not too high, but he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, the expression on his face do not know whether it is a cry or a smile, just a pair of eyes looking at me as if looking at ghosts and gods: "This ...... Mr. Chen Yang, right ...... Your lottery ticket we have reviewed, there is no problem at all ...... this ......"
I sighed, "Then can I claim my prize?"
"Yes, yes, of course." The person in charge wiped his sweat on one side and forced a smile on the other, "However, is it possible to ask you to cooperate with our publicity ...... Look, we really have never encountered a winner like you before, and there happen to be reporters from the media here, and also, can we ask you to go up to the stage by the way to say a few words to the majority of the lottery players who are purchasing tickets the lottery players, we would like to ...... say a few words."
"No need." I immediately refused flatly.
Are you kidding me, a media interview? Go up and talk?
Wouldn't that be even more troublesome?
This person in charge seemed to want to say something else, and I immediately refused sternly, "I'm sorry, I'm not obligated to accept a media interview, am I? And you guys don't have the right to force me to go on stage."
"Understood, understood!" The old man desperately wiped his sweat and reluctantly said, "A lot of winners have your mentality, the money is not exposed. But ......"
He said a lot of words to persuade me, but I refused one by one, next to the following early media people got the news, I heard that produced a super-lucky person, a person alone won thirty lottery tickets!
This is definitely a big story, there are already many reporters coming here.
I have some impatience on my face, "Well, you don't need to say more, please quickly cash my prize."
"Well ...... are you taking the present? Or ......"
"Discount it." I said quickly.
Take the cash?
Please, two cars, four air conditioners, six color TVs, eight microwave ovens, ten sets of kitchenware ...... can I transport them instead?
This time this person in charge seems to be very smart and ready, he immediately turned to the back of the prize collection office, and then walked over with a check and some relevant documents, also returned my ID card to me.
"Are you sure you don't want to consider taking a little press ......"
As soon as I took the stuff, I shook my head, "No!"
I pulled Yan Di, who was still standing on the side in a daze, and grabbed her hand to go outside the prize receiving office, but when I looked down, there were already a lot of reporters gathered below, and the road was already blocked.
The place to receive the award is a temporary wooden platform, more than two meters high. I looked around for a while, immediately pulled Yan Di ran to the other end of the platform, in the prize receiving office of the staff a gasp of surprise, I have already picked up Yan Di, jumped down.
As soon as my feet hit the ground, I put down Yan Di, who was still in a state of ecstasy, and ignored the shouts of the surrounding crowd, pulling her and running.
......
After running for two blocks, Yan Di behind me was already out of breath, if I didn't pull her, I'm afraid she would have already fallen to the ground.
I carefully looked behind me, to make sure that indeed there is no one to follow, this is to rest assured.
"Little fifth brother ...... I ...... I can't, can't run, can't run anymore ......" Yan Di panting, her hair Some scattered, I then haha laugh, pulling her on the side of the road to rest for a while, both of them from each other's face to see a few points of woe, suddenly, the same mind, both are haha laugh.
Yan Di has already come to her senses from the shock, gasping for breath before settling down, already using the girl's characteristic sharp voice to cheerfully shout, "Little Brother Five, you, you're simply too divine!"
I deliberately pulled her hand and laughed, "It's not that I'm god ...... The lottery ticket was brought to me by you, and it was also scratched by you with one hand Oh! It should be that this hand of yours is too godly."
Yandi was held by my hand, her face flushed for a while, her eyes flashed a trace of shyness, it seems that she wanted to break free, but did not dare, so she could only allow me to hold her soft little hand.
"There!" I waved my hand and laughed boldly, "Now we can look at the trophies!"
With so many prizes, the real amount of winnings wasn't actually very impressive.
Two Santana cars, adding up to just two hundred thousand dollars. The other air conditioners, color TVs, microwave ovens, and the like, added up to only fifty or sixty thousand.
After deducting the personal income tax, the check in my hand totaled two hundred thousand.
I took the check out and shoved it into Yan Di's hand, smiling, "Okay, now this money is yours."
Yan Di was startled, her body scrambled back and shoved the check back to me, "Little Brother Five, this can't be! This is the prize you won!"
I smiled, "No, it's yours. From start to finish, you're the one who took the lottery ticket, and you're the one who scratched the prize."
"But you paid for it!" Yandi shook her head with a determined face, her body shrinking back.
I pushed and gave in for a while, saw that she indeed refused to take it, and helplessly said, "Then this is fine ...... we both share it equally."
Yan Di still refused. I pretended to sink my face and said, "Yan Di, are you looking down on me? Didn't we agree when we bought the lottery ticket that this is considered something we both bought together! If you're pushing back like this, you're not treating me as a friend!"
Yan Di saw my face sink before she hesitated and said, "Brother Xiao Wu, I know you mean well, but this is too much money! I really can't take it!"
I thought about it and had a plan, "How about this, no matter what, I won the lottery thanks to this divine hand of yours. According to the rules, when I see the red and share the red, how can I also give you a red envelope. Split you 10%, twenty thousand, okay?"
Yan Di still refused, saying that the money was too much, and resolutely refused to take it. I was made to feel helpless by this girl who looked weak on weekdays, but was stubborn in nature at the moment, and in the end, after exhausting my mouth, I was able to persuade her to take 5,000 ......
But it doesn't matter, I've already thought of a way.
Looking at the time, I immediately dragged her to the bank and cashed the check there. But this kind of large amount of money, at that time, can not get money (generally the bank has a rule, withdraw cash more than fifty thousand, have to make an appointment in advance).
But I didn't plan on withdrawing $200,000 in cash out right away. I handled two accounts, one is mine, deposited one hundred and ninety-five thousand, the other is with Yan Di's ID card, deposited five thousand.
I quietly wrote down Yan Di's account number before handing over the completed bank card to her.
Hey, hey, you don't want it? I'll just remit it to you later. After that, I immediately canceled my account! At that time, even if she wants to return it to me, I'll insist that I don't want it.
Yandi was a bit shy, and only finally took the card after I urged her to do so.
After all, she's a girl, her joy and anger are all on her face: ''Got rich! Brother Xiao Wu, thank you, I'll treat you to dinner!"
"Dinner? It's better for me to treat you." I looked at Yan Di who had a few childish moments on her face, and patted my chest, "I've made a bigger fortune than you today, oh, dinner, the place is at your disposal!"
I don't know why, with this niece, it seems like I have a lot more sunshine in my heart, and those dark things are far away.
Yandi smiled, "Good, you please eat, but I still want to thank you ...... Well ......" She sidled her head and thought for a while... ...I have to say, a beautiful woman is a beautiful woman, and the way she thought with her head sideways was super cute.
"Ah! Little Brother Five, I'll treat you to ice!" Yan Di made a face, "I know a house that makes delicious ice! But it's just expensive, I couldn't afford to go eat it before!"
Seeing her excitement, I couldn't bear to brush her off, so I agreed.
I followed Yandi on the road for a while, watching the girl jumping around me as if she was a happy elf, I couldn't help but look a bit mesmerized.
Yan Di said the ice store, in fact, I know, also came.
This is a Hong Kong style ice store, specializing in selling some beautifully crafted smoothies and ice desserts such as sago salads, very popular with the girls.
When I was usually with Ah Ze and the others, I was once dragged here by Qiao Qiao to eat, and when Ah Ze was picking up MM, he often brought girls to patronize it as well.
Decorated in a refreshingly delicate store, we found a couple's seat by the window and sat down. Yandi ordered a fruit ice lamb, and I ordered a minute of shaved ice on her recommendation.
Afternoon sunlight through the large bright floor-to-ceiling glass, shining on my body, looking out the window walking pedestrians and vehicles, and look in front of Yan Di's happy and charming smile, I suddenly felt a name called "happiness" taste.
Yandi and I have been together for a long time, and not so shy. Her personality was originally cute and pleasing, after eating her own ice lamb for a while, she showed a greedy expression, looking at the shaved ice in front of me. I smiled, pushed the shaved ice in front of her, Yandi cheered, tasted a few mouthfuls, let out a silver bell-like laughter, and then seemed to be a little embarrassed, picked up her spoon to get a spoonful of ice lambs must be eaten by me.
Looking at the front of this charming and attractive girl with a tone of voice as if a lover pampered me soft words of joy, I can not help but be infatuated.
A thought suddenly arose in my heart:
We are like this, like a couple ah ......
But almost immediately, I reminded myself: Chen Yang, have you forgotten who you are? Have you forgotten what you do?
This is a very simple girl, you don't want to harm her!
Simple, do you deserve it?
Sighing, I tried my best to suppress these annoying thoughts. However, looking at Yan Di who was looking at me with a pair of wide eyes in front of me, an impulse inexplicably arose in my heart.
Damn it, I don't care! I'll take this woman!
While I was thinking nonsense, Yan Di suddenly remembered something and said, "Little Brother Five, you're so strange oh ......"
"What?"
Yan Di thought very seriously, then looked at me, "I think you are a strange person ...... You won such a big prize, but you are much calmer than the average person! What happened today is just too strange! Yet you don't seem to be very surprised."
My heart sank!
Indeed, although I was surprised today, I wasn't as "shocked" as the others. Because I had a thought in my mind that I didn't even dare to think about, and it was now weighing on my mind!
This thought is: all this, could it be that the "luck ring" to bring me?
If this is true ......
I'm not going to be able to do that! That's what I'm talking about!
This little bonus is nothing! If this is true,......, even if I am wildly shouting, I am shocked, I am crazy, but also for this ring!
I sucked in my breath and couldn't help but look down at my left hand hidden under the table. On that ring, under the sunlight, it seems to shine.
Just when Zi was at that moment, suddenly a voice interrupted my thoughts.
A news program was being broadcast on a television set hanging on the left side of the counter in the ice store. It seemed to be a "Live News Direct" program of the city's TV station.
Only to see on the screen, that news anchor said, "The latest news, the city so-and-so street a residential neighborhood in a fire, the current fire is serious, the firefighters are trying their best to rescue, fortunately because it is the daytime work period, the district does not have a lot of people, so there are no casualties yet."
Then the TV screen is the scene footage, only to see a street, looking in the distance, the fire and smoke in the vague ......
razor? Seems like the street I live on oh.
The camera panned and had pulled into a neighborhood ......
Yi? It seems to be the neighborhood where I live.
The camera panned again and had turned into a building, only to see a fire truck parked downstairs, and several firefighters were carrying hoses and spraying water upwards. And on the building, a residence with a blazing fire coming out of the window, black smoke rushing to the sky ......
Ei? Looks like the building I live in oh ......
Shit!
I jumped up at once!
It was simply my house! My house is on fire!
No way! I just won $200,000 and my house is on fire?
Is this fucking luck, or is this bad luck?
