Chapter 483: Winning One Million in a Scratch Lottery
The delivery man turned his head suddenly and found that his electric bike parked in front of the zebra crossing was hit by an oncoming out-of-control car and thrown more than ten meters away, and the takeaway food on the bike was spilled all over the ground.
The pedestrians and car owners around were shocked.
"Oh my god, it was so close. If you hadn't suddenly gotten out of the car and stepped to the side of the road, you and your car would have been hit."
"You really had a brush with death! Thanks to that little girl for calling you over, otherwise it wouldn't just be your takeout that would have been knocked over."
People around him were talking about how lucky he was, and some were taking photos, recording videos and posting them on WeChat Moments.
Someone called the police and traffic police soon arrived to maintain order.
There was a lot of noise all around, and many people were still frightened, but the delivery man seemed to be out of his mind, standing there in a daze.
Netizens in the live broadcast room witnessed a car accident through the photographer's lens and were greatly shocked.
[Oh my god, I was controlled for several minutes even through the screen. I felt like the rider's soul had flown away]
[Why does that brand of car always lose control? Luckily no one was hit, but it's a shame that the food on that truck spilled. A lot of college students will have nothing to eat again.]
[Ele.me reminder: Your takeaway was involved in a traffic accident]
Shi Ling had just called the delivery man over when his scooter was hit and sent flying. Is this really a coincidence? If the delivery man hadn't gotten out of his car and had just driven through the traffic light, he would have been hit along with his scooter, right?
The haters immediately retorted: "Shi Ling's fans are at it again, making things up. Maybe it was just a coincidence. If she could really predict it, why didn't she just tell the rider?"
However, this time there is no need for Shi Ling’s fans to step in, as a pair of netizens came to confront these black fans.
[No matter what, it is a fact that Shi Ling's actions saved the rider's life]
Shi Ling wasn't right about the car accident. If she told the rider that he was going to have an accident, would he believe her? Would he get off the bike and look for her? He'd probably think Shi Ling was insane, right?
I'm not a fan of Shi Ling, but after learning about her story, I think she's a master of metaphysics, even if she's not as exaggerated as the goddess-girl hype that netizens have made her out to be.
Ji Zhuo, who was begging alongside Shi Ling, was even more frightened.
He followed Master Shi Ling just to see the world, but he didn't expect it to be so exciting.
He looked around blankly and found that Shi Ling looked normal and not surprised at all. Qin Niao, Wu Yin and Chu Qingci were only frightened for a moment, but soon regained their composure, as if they had already accepted that such a thing would happen to Shi Ling, so much so that he was embarrassed to share his excitement and stimulation with them.
It took a long time for the rider to come back to his senses. He slowly turned his head and his eyes focused when he saw Shi Ling still sitting cross-legged in meditation.
"you……"
Shi Ling rested her hand on her chin, tilted her head back, and interrupted him with a smile: "Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future. Can you help me buy a scratch-off ticket across the street?"
The rider was stunned, but at that moment, he couldn't help but feel awe and gratitude towards the girl in front of him. He didn't care about his own mess and hurriedly agreed. "Okay, okay, which scratch ticket do you want to buy?"
Not to mention buying a scratch-off lottery ticket for this girl, he would even be willing to work like a slave for her in his next life!
If she hadn't called him over just now, his body would probably be cold by now.
If he died, what would happen to his wife and daughter? His daughter's illness would cost money, how hard would it be for his wife alone?
Shi Ling waved his hand and said, "It's up to you. But you can only buy one ticket, so you can scratch it while you're there."
It was the first time the rider had heard such a request, but out of gratitude to Shi Ling for saving his life, he nodded and crossed the road to the welfare lottery store across the street.
On the way, many customers were still calling to urge him to place their orders, but after learning that he had been in a car accident, their attitudes instantly changed for the better. They all cared about whether he was okay and said that it was no big deal if the order was lost.
Even after the store owners knew that he had been in a car accident, they said that they did not need him to pay compensation after canceling the order.
Ever since his daughter became seriously ill and used up all the family savings, he had had enough of the ups and downs of life. The hard work over the past few days had made him a little numb, but at this moment he felt warm inside.
The kindness of strangers always touches him at some point, and this city still has warmth.
As soon as I walked in, the owner of the lottery shop greeted me with a smile, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
The driver had never bought a lottery ticket before. He knew most of them were scams, so he said awkwardly, "I'll buy a scratch-off ticket."
The boss pointed to the glass shelf and said, "Which one do you want? This one is ten yuan a piece, this one is 20 yuan a piece, and this one is 50 yuan a piece."
The driver thought the lottery was indeed a scam. He only earned two or three yuan for a delivery, but this piece of paper cost dozens of yuan. If he were to buy it himself, he would definitely not be willing to part with it, but this was for his benefactor.
The rider said, "I'll take the fifty yuan one."
The boss took out a stack of scratch-off tickets for him to choose from. The rider looked at them all and saw that they were all the same, so he picked the one on top and then scratched it according to the boss's instructions.
After checking the numbers one by one, the driver was stunned. He couldn't believe his eyes. He checked them several times in a row before asking the boss in a hoarse voice: "Is this a one million dollar win?"
"What?"
The boss immediately sat up, came over to check it several times, and then excitedly said, "Oh my god, brother, you really made a fortune! I've been running this shop for more than ten years, and this is the first time I've seen someone so lucky, buying a scratch-off ticket and winning a million! Delivering food must be hard work, too. You have to go out regardless of thunder, rain or shine. I think you can change your rider's clothes."
The rider smiled bitterly: "This lottery ticket is not mine, I bought it for someone else."
The boss was stunned for a moment, then smiled slyly and said, "Then buy him another one. He didn't say he had to take the first one, so why not just keep this one for ourselves?"
The rider's hand holding the scratch-off ticket tightened slightly. Thinking of his daughter who urgently needed medical expenses in the hospital, the huge amount of money owed by the family, and his wife's tired face every day, his heart couldn't help but waver.
This one million can solve his urgent needs.
The girl's clothes and appearance showed that she was from a wealthy family and she must be well-off.
What the boss said actually made sense. He could keep the lottery ticket for himself and buy her another one.
But……
She saved his life, and he couldn't repay her with evil.
He was not good at studying and dropped out of school early, so he could only work as a delivery driver, but he still understood the principles of life.
She said she could only buy one, and he agreed, so it could only be one!
The rider gritted his teeth, forced himself not to think too much, then put the scratch-off ticket in his pocket and quickly went back to find Shi Ling.
