【Long time no see, anchor! 】
[The anchor has not been active in live streaming recently! ]
[Where did the anchor go a few days ago? Why didn't he broadcast live anymore?]
【While there are few people here, please quickly agree to the connection request! 】
…
Seeing the netizens' enthusiasm, Lan Xi immediately randomly selected one person and approved his application.
On the other side of the live broadcast link was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties and dressed simply.
Before a man gets old, most of his hair is already white!
He was wearing a mask so his face couldn't be seen, but his eyes looked gentle and even kind.
"Hello, host."
When he spoke, his voice was gentle and polite.
"Hello." Lan Xi nodded in response.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man had already presented the gift as a reward in the live broadcast room.
Originally, one divination only cost one thousand yuan, but the man gave more than three thousand yuan, and then he stopped.
The fact that the other party gave more gifts did not surprise netizens.
After all, in this live broadcast room before, rich people even sent tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gifts as divination fees.
Seeing that the divination money was in place, Lan Xi asked as usual, "What do you want to calculate?"
The man didn't state his needs, but replied slowly, "Actually, I didn't come here to have my fortune told."
Netizens:?
[I've already given you the money for the divination, but you still don't want to do the divination? ]
[Does he find online games fun? Or does he have a lot of money to burn? But looking at the way he's dressed, he doesn't look like a wealthy man~!]
【Wait.】
…
In the live broadcast room, Lan Xi did not interrupt the man, but listened silently.
He said, "I have been following this live broadcast room for a while. I know that every time it starts broadcasting, there will be a lot of netizens."
"I don't tell fortunes. I just want to tell a story here."
"Those gifts you just gave me, can you consider them as compensation for my time here?"
Lan Xi is in the fortune-telling live broadcast room. Every netizen who applies to connect wants to get a fortune told.
People who are purely storytellers are really rare.
but……
"Don't jump to conclusions now. Perhaps while you're telling your story, you'll need me to tell your fortune."
Lan Xi's words meant that she agreed to the other party's request to tell a story in the live broadcast room.
"Thank you." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Then he began to tell his story.
"The protagonist of this story is a boy."
"Not long after the boy was born, he was abducted to a remote village. The family that bought him was an elderly couple."
"The old couple's son died in an accident, leaving only their daughter-in-law. They bought this child because they wanted him to inherit the family's incense."
When the middle-aged man spoke, his voice was deep and full of storytelling.
Listening to his words, netizens in the live broadcast room were unsure for a moment, what was his identity in this story?
Are they an old couple?
But the man's age was obviously not yet suitable for his son to get married.
"Originally, the old couple thought that the grandson they bought would just grow up slowly, but they didn't expect that their daughter-in-law ran away a few months later, so the boy lived with his grandparents."
"Because the old couple are old and have no ability to make money, the family is very poor, so the clothes and shoes that the child has worn since he was young were all picked up from the villagers."
“Sometimes when there are no children’s clothes, we use adult clothes to make them into children’s clothes.”
"When the boy was four years old, he could already stand on a stool to cook, and then walk two or three kilometers to bring the food to his grandparents in the fields."
[Four years old… I can’t believe it! When I was four, I could only ask for candy, but he can already cook for himself?]
[Children of poor families have to grow up early, but this is too early! ]
[The family that bought him out really made him suffer...]
[Uncle, do you have the boy's contact information? I want to donate some money to him.]
…
The middle-aged man telling the story seemed not to have noticed what the netizens said, and he continued speaking.
"When he was in school, the boy had excellent academic performance and was always ranked first in the grade."
"But a poor kid who only knows how to study will be bullied at school. There will always be classmates throwing trash on his desk, putting bugs in his drawers, or even taking it out on him when they're in a bad mood!"
"When he was nine, the boy represented his school in a competition. His teacher told him that it would be best if he wore new clothes when representing the school."
"During that time, the boy would go to the road to pick up bottles after school every day. He finally saved up 30 yuan and wanted to go to the county town to buy clothes."
"But he didn't make it to the county town in the end because on the way there, he was robbed of his money by some bad students and was beaten up!"
"The day before the competition, he came to the teacher in ragged clothes and said he had no money to buy new clothes, so he would not participate in the competition to avoid bringing shame to the school."
"The teacher saw the injuries on his face and asked him what happened. He then found out that he almost had new clothes but had lost the money."
"The teacher asked who stole his money and beat him, but he shook his head and refused to say anything."
"Finally, his primary school teacher took him to the county and bought him a set of clothes."
"That suit cost sixteen dollars. It was of very poor quality. It was a basketball uniform with lots of threads in it."
"It's not that the teacher didn't buy him good clothes, but that he didn't want them."
"He picked out this suit himself. He didn't want to spend too much money on the teacher, so he bought it at the cheapest price. And that suit was the first suit in his life that truly belonged to him!"
[Wow~ This child is so pitiful! He's so sensible that it makes me feel distressed.]
The teacher is also very nice. Thank you for buying him clothes!
So who is the uncle telling the story? The teacher?
[It's possible! The age is right.]
【Or maybe he is the boy grown up? 】
[That's also possible! ]
…
Unfortunately, no one has answered netizens’ speculations at this moment.
The middle-aged man continued to tell the story he had been telling.
"The boy still won first place in the competition he represented the school in!"
"When the boy graduated from elementary school, he could have gone to the best junior high school in the city because of his excellent grades."
"But because the junior high school there required boarding, and he had to go home to help his grandparents, he finally chose to go to school in the county."
"At school, he was only good at studying, but he was still bullied."
"The bad students thought his clothes were too tattered, so they would drag him to the garbage dump and beat him, saying that people like him were not qualified to go to school and should be in the garbage dump!"
"But no matter how sad he was, he insisted on going to school every day. He knew that only by studying could he have a bright future!"
