Chapter 14
When netizens were speculating about the reason why Lin Sheng suddenly stopped broadcasting, they saw that Lin Sheng had posted a dynamic message.
"Sorry, something unexpected happened just now. I forgot to charge my phone and it turned off. Don't worry. Also, to reward me for working so hard, I've decided not to live stream for the next five days. I'm going on a trip, so I'll take a break."
[It seems like she made more money again....]
[The words spoken by a 37-degree mouth are increasingly chilling, and the master is becoming more and more arrogant...]
[How dare the great master say such words that would cause public outrage?]
When Lin Sheng went out, he did not make any specific travel plans. He simply dressed Wangcai, covered the two corners with a hat, threw all the things into the treasure belt, and went out lightly.
While calculating the direction he wanted to go, he rode along with a simple pointer compass in his hand.
We got off at a tourist village on the way. This place was hundreds of miles away from the city and was on an independent island with only one road connecting it to the mainland.
Lin Sheng walked to the entrance of the village and looked around carefully. Wangcai followed her, jumping up and down, sticking out his tongue, and the stars in his eyes showed his excitement.
There was a two-meter-high boulder at the intersection, with three large characters clearly written on it - "Siyuandao" painted in dark red. The boulder had probably been washed by rain for too long, and had stood there for many years, so a large area of black appeared on the stone.
The grass around the boulder was withered and yellow, and the exposed soil on the road leading to the tourist village was dry and yellow. A gust of sea breeze blew towards him, but Lin Sheng felt that the wind was too dry and it made his face hurt.
Lin Sheng's eyes fell on the boulder. He felt something was wrong, so he took the initiative to walk forward and stretched out his hand to touch the surface of the boulder.
"Hey, little...little girl, help me up."
An old voice came from his ears. Lin Sheng withdrew his hand and looked towards the source of the voice.
An elderly man with a white beard fell to the ground, his neck was dark red, and his wheelchair overturned to the side. The old man struggled hard, as if he wanted to get up, but the strength in his hands could not support the weight of his whole body.
His legs seemed to be powerless and he couldn't move. The old man could only rely on his hands to support the front half of his body.
Lin Sheng stood there, frowning slightly, and did not immediately step forward to help the old man up, his eyes fixed on the old man's movements.
"Can't you stand up on your own?"
The old man raised his head with difficulty, glanced at Lin Sheng, and could not help but rolled his eyes at her, and uttered with difficulty,
"My legs...my legs are useless. I have no...no feeling."
Lin Sheng stood there motionless. The old man simply gave up struggling and lay on the ground resignedly, spreading his arms.
"Little girl, are you going to save her or not? If not, just go away. I just feel sad when I see you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Sheng walked towards the old man.
Seeing that she finally took action, the old man smiled and raised his hand to welcome Lin Sheng to help him up.
"I knew you were kind and sweet, and that you would definitely save me...shouldn't you have helped me first?"
The old man saw Lin Sheng walking straight past him without helping him up, and he immediately became angry.
Lin Sheng lifted up the wheelchair first, and the next second, he helped the old man onto the wheelchair from a distance. During the process, he did not make any physical contact with the old man.
"Just rescue you, why pay attention to so many details?"
The old man felt his body floating up out of thin air, his eyes widened instantly, full of disbelief, but without any fear, he teased,
"You're not a simple girl, aren't you afraid that I'll tell others about your ability?"
Lin Sheng looked at him calmly and said in a calm tone,
"I can save you, but I can also kill you. If you say you have Alzheimer's and like to talk nonsense, no one will believe you."
"You wouldn't kill anyone. That's really boring. You're out here alone, would you like me to show you around?"
The old man couldn't help but complain.
Lin Sheng looked at the old man suspiciously, with a look of disdain in his eyes, and refused straightforwardly.
"You want to take me? I don't know who will take care of whom. I'm just going to take a stroll, no need to bother you. If I hurt you, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it."
"May the sea god bless us with a heavy rain. It hasn't rained on Siyuan Island for five months."
A deep voice was heard, and Lin Sheng looked over curiously.
Probably the villagers of the island, gathered together, kneeling in front of a human-shaped statue, and the leader expressed his hope over and over again.
Every time he spoke, he kowtowed to the human-shaped statue, and the villagers behind him did the same.
After kowtowing three times, the leader stood up first, and the people next to him walked to each person with a wine jug, handed them wine glasses, and poured wine into the glasses.
The leader walked up to the human-shaped statue, raised his wine glass above his head, raised his voice, and shouted,
"Please, Sea God, bless me!"
After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass, added another glass, and slammed it at the feet of the human-shaped statue. Everyone drank the wine in the glass, then lined up in a long line, walked to the front of the human-shaped statue and smashed the wine glasses.
Seeing that Lin Sheng was fascinated and looked puzzled, the old man patiently explained,
This is an annual custom on Siyuan Island, where people gather to pray to the sea god for protection. Although Siyuan Island is an independent island, its geographical location prevents the moist sea breeze from reaching the island. If it doesn't rain for a long time, the island will dry up and crack.
It has been a long time since it rained, and I don’t know if my prayer for rain will be successful this time, but I hope it will be.”
Lin Sheng stared at the human-shaped statue and felt that everything on the island was extremely strange, but he couldn't find the source.
"Girl, girl, oh my, this is really a problem, can you take me to the hospital? Don't worry, I'm definitely not trying to scam you, nor am I blackmailing you, my family is rich."
The old man suddenly covered his chest, feeling a sharp pain. He bent over in pain while sitting in a wheelchair, and begged Lin Sheng in a gentle voice.
Lin Sheng glanced at the old man, looked around, and suddenly met a familiar gaze. The corners of his lips curled slightly, and he suddenly spoke,
"Your rescuer is here."
When Xu Guannan received Lin Sheng's gaze, he was surprised for a moment. He noticed that something was wrong with the old man in the wheelchair. He walked towards the two of them and involuntarily quickened his pace. Seeing that the old man's neck was red with pain, his brows furrowed in an instant.
"Let's talk about it later. Send him to the hospital first."
Lin Sheng hurriedly instructed.
Xu Guannan picked up the old man and left quickly, saying to Lin Sheng behind him,
"My car is in front, follow me."
Lin Sheng originally wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the old man, but unexpectedly Xu Guannan suddenly spoke, so he had to push the wheelchair up and follow him.
The two men sent the old man to the nearest hospital. The situation was urgent, but fortunately the old man was fine.
In the ward, the old man took off the ring on his finger and put it on Lin Sheng's hand. He was a little weak.
"Girl, this is for you. Thank you for saving me. If you need any help in the future, just take this and come to Siyuan Island to find me. I'll always be there."
Lin Sheng took the ring in his hand and weighed it for a few times.
"It looks like the texture is really good. How much would you sell this jade ring for?"
The old man was stunned by her question, his lips twitched slightly, and he replied with an ugly expression,
"It was a street vendor item from more than 20 years ago. I bought it for ten yuan back then. It's not worth much."
Lin Sheng nodded as if in agreement and responded,
"You might as well give me some money. I'm even given an award for bravery. You're such a stingy old man."
The old man sat on the bed, and in his heart he had already rolled his eyes at Lin Sheng countless times. He raised his hand that was receiving an IV drip and pinched his philtrum.
"I didn't die of illness on the road, but I was going to die of anger in the hospital bed because of you. Today I only have this with me, so please accept it. I will bring you something else next time. Is this okay?"
Lin Sheng raised his eyebrows, but his appetite was not at all picky, and he responded without blushing or beating his heart.
"That's pretty good, it's settled."
The old man waved his hands quickly, his face full of disgust.
"Go away, go away! I'm afraid you'll make me angry to death."
Turning to look at Xu Guannan beside him, the old man's expression changed instantly.
"Officer Xu, next time I bring a gift, you must accept it."
"No, this is what I should do."
Hearing this, the old man glanced at Lin Sheng again, and turned his back angrily without looking at her.
As soon as Lin Sheng and Xu Guannan walked out of the ward, they met someone they didn't want to see.
"Hey, why did we meet in the hospital? Did he get beaten up for being a scammer? Or did he get cancer? Tell me and I'll cheer you up."
Lin Yiyi and Wen Qingrou walked out of the doctor's office and came face to face with Lin Sheng. Lin Yiyi immediately made a sarcastic remark.
Lin Sheng's lips curled up slightly, and there was a hint of cunning in her eyes. Xu Guannan knew what bad things she was planning in her heart at a glance.
Then Lin Sheng suddenly answered loudly,
"You must have eaten shit, your mouth stinks."
Everyone in the corridor heard it clearly and their eyes turned to the two of them.
As the spectators who are always strong-willed, the people in the ward even stood at the door of the ward holding IV bottles, staring intently, ready to watch the fun at any time.
Lin Yiyi looked around, only to feel her scalp tingling. She walked forward quickly and stopped one meter away from Lin Sheng, her face embarrassed.
"Vulgar! You're truly uneducated! I don't want to embarrass myself in front of so many people with you."
Lin Sheng showed a smile on his face, sneered, and changed his words.
"So Miss Lin is eating in the bathroom. Is that elegant enough?"
The sound was neither loud nor soft, but it just happened to spread in the corridor. People around couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh, and their eyes were focused on Lin Yiyi.
Lin Yiyi clenched her fists, and looked at Lin Sheng with a look of resentment.
"You are really going too far!"
After saying that, Lin Yiyi made a move to slap Lin Sheng.
Wen Qingrou saw the situation and immediately stepped forward to stop Lin Yiyi.
"Yiyi! What are you doing? Put your hands down!"
Lin Yiyi glared at Lin Sheng fiercely, feeling annoyed in her heart, but she could only swallow it down.
Wen Qingrou walked forward slowly, with a gentle and harmless smile on her face. She seemed to be considerate in every way, but the words she said were unpleasant.
"I'm really sorry, I've spoiled your sister. Children with parents are always a little more pampered. You probably don't mind, right?"
"Auntie, I think you misunderstood. A third party's child cannot be considered a sister."
Lin Sheng's voice was not low enough for people around to hear clearly, and he continued,
"Of course I don't mind. Auntie has so many wrinkles on her face, I guess she won't live for many days. A grasshopper in autumn can only jump for a few days. If Miss Lin gets pointed at and scolded for being uneducated, don't call me daddy everywhere."
