“It’s not a huge loss, just a few thousand yuan. I know the master is always very busy and his fortune-telling requirements are very demanding.
The fact that the thief chose to rob my house despite seeing the environment of my house shows that he is a very poor person.
My money was all donated by others anyway, so I might as well not pursue it. It can be considered my return to society."
Unlike netizens who were moved by his words, some students present had puzzled expressions on their faces.
They remembered clearly that the beggar had not behaved like this just now. His sad look made people feel that he had lost hope in life and might die at any time because of this incident.
If his expression hadn't been so painful, they wouldn't have stood outside in the cold to accompany him in finding the suspect, and even went to the trouble of helping him get a spot for the live broadcast.
But seeing the empty legs in his lower body, the classmates didn't know what to say. They could only attribute his behavior to being unnatural around so many people, or to being afraid of retaliation from the thieves.
Su Yan looked at his shrunken trouser legs and said, "Do you have anyone you suspect? Please explain clearly so I can help you find him."
The beggar rolled his eyes for a few days, thinking about what he had experienced in recent years. He was ready to take this opportunity to wipe out the root of the problem. "I do have a suspicion, but I'm not sure. I can only tell you and let you analyze it."
"My legs were injured when I was a child by a cart carrying stones. Although I was sent to the hospital promptly, both my legs were lost.
After the accident, the driver refused to pay compensation.
After much discussion, he went to jail, and I returned home with my broken leg.
At that time, my family was not well off, and I had no chance to do rehabilitation exercises after returning home. The school also asked me to drop out.
My parents became suspicious of me because of this incident and ended up getting divorced.
After they divorced, I was sent to live with my grandparents.
Looking at their hunched bodies, I realized that I couldn't drag them down.
When I reach old enough, I will follow the people in my village to work in big cities.
But I ignored my own shortcomings. In a bustling metropolis, healthy people would become unemployed. How could someone like me, who had no lower limbs and no education, find a job?
But I also don’t want to go back in disgrace and add to the burden on my grandparents.
When I had spent all the money I had, I had no choice but to put aside my dignity and beg in places with a lot of people.
Although the charity I received was not much, it was enough to provide me with food and clothing, and I could save some money to give to my grandparents.
In order not to make them worry, every time I go home, I will go to the mall to buy some new clothes, fix my hair, and pretend that I am living a good life outside.
In this way, I begged outside alone for five years, and my family thought I was working outside for five years.
I thought I could live such a simple and happy life forever, but two years ago, I met someone who targeted me.
He would always go to where I was begging and tell those who wanted to give me money that I was a healthy liar. He would also forcibly pull down my trouser legs to let those people see my disabled body.
Although he apologized to me in the end, it is very sad for anyone to have their physical disability maliciously revealed.
Moreover, because his attitude changed so quickly, some people who didn't know the truth thought that he was a hire I hired to make money by taking advantage of the kindness of the public.
Every time something like this happens, I become attached to that place and end up moving away in disgrace.
But he seemed to be obsessed with me. Every time I went to a new place, he would show up within two months, make a big fuss and then leave.
About last week, he found me again and came here to cause a scene.
At the same time, I saw him near the rented house, and I thought stealing the money was his warning to me.
From the time we first met to now, I have moved five times.
If I can't handle this matter properly, I will definitely move out of this city because of him. I just hope he won't pester me to the next place, otherwise I really won't be able to live."
After saying this, he lowered his head and began to sob.
The boy next to the platform rushed out indignantly, raising his hands excitedly: "Master, what he said is true. My two other roommates and I witnessed him being insulted by that bad guy.
Last week at noon, after my roommate and I finished our meal, we saw a wrapped man with only a pair of eyes sticking out.
Because he moved too fast, he bumped into my roommate. A few of us wanted to argue with him, but we gave up when we saw his ferocious expression.
Then I realized that his movement trajectory was exactly the same as ours. In order to avoid being suspected of seeking revenge on him, my roommate and I decided to cross the overpass and take a different route.
As soon as I got onto the overpass, I saw him kick over the bowl in front of the beggar, and the money inside scattered everywhere with his movement.
The beggar raised his head and saw a familiar figure. He couldn't help but reveal a bitter expression. He moved carefully and picked up the money that was closer to him.
Then he looked up at the man and said, "Brother, what do you want to do? I am a disabled person. Why do you have to chase me?"
The man didn't answer but asked, "You are obviously a healthy adult. How dare you say you are disabled just to make some unscrupulous money?"
The beggar shook his head helplessly, as if looking at a unreasonable child: "Look at how I'm dressed. I don't look like a healthy person at all."
"Besides," he was silent for a moment, his voice lowered, "if life didn't force it, who would be willing to expose their scars in front of others and let them laugh at them?
Young man, I don’t know what I did to offend you. Maybe you have really encountered someone who used disability to cheat money before.
But I can guarantee that I really don’t have legs. If you don’t believe me, I can show you.”
His humble appearance aroused the sympathy of the people around him, and they all persuaded the man in black to apologize to the beggar.
But the man in black seemed to be possessed by a demon. He directly removed the blanket from the man and then lifted up his trouser legs.
The empty trouser legs had a great shock to the people around, and many of them wiped away tears on the spot.
Only the man in black couldn't accept this result and shouted, "Impossible! His legs are clearly not disabled. He must have used some trick to confuse us."
After shouting, he looked at the increasingly unfriendly expressions around him and left in dejection.
"After witnessing what happened, we were about to go to the police station to report it, but the uncle stopped us."
