At this time, the gradually blurred memories in his mind suddenly emerged uncontrollably, and Lin Qiu suddenly remembered that he had actually been here in his previous life.
In his previous life, he agreed to Mrs. Lin's request and finally chose to work in a brick factory with his father.
Because the brick factory was in the city, it was the first time that he stayed away from the dilapidated village and came to the bustling city. It was the first time that he was dazzled by the prosperity.
If he remembered correctly, he also came today in his last life.
He still remembered that because his father was reluctant to spend money, he had to carry something to a family in the village who originally planned to go to the market today, hoping that the other party would give him a lift.
The family was kind-hearted and agreed without any difficulty. However, the departure time was a bit late and it was already dark by the time they arrived at the destination.
He followed his father and walked towards the brick factory that had been negotiated under the weak illumination of the street lamp.
That night, the moon was sparse, and it could be seen that the weather would be good tomorrow. He watched his shadow under his feet lengthen and shorten as he approached and moved away from different street lights. Just like his future, it was changing at any time and had no end. There is no place to return.
It was probably around nine o'clock at that time. Suddenly, a burst of cheers erupted from not far away, pulling Lin Qiu out of his thoughts. He looked up and saw that there seemed to be a lottery shop over there, and a group of people were surrounding it. Congratulating and celebrating with a cheering man.
He saw seven balls of the same size and different colors displayed on the big screen over there. He still remembered that there were five red balls and two blue balls.
Because he had never seen anything like a double-colored ball, he took a few glances at it and memorized the numbers marked on it. His memory was always good.
In the next few years, he passed by this lottery shop many times, and occasionally took a look. The more he saw this kind of thing, the more he understood the rules of the double-color ball.
He later tried to make a few bets with his own pocket money, but he never won any big prizes. When he was most lucky, he won a sixth-class prize of 5 yuan.
After that, life has been ordinary. I have been sleeping late and getting up early all year round in order to survive, and I have never tried to place a bet again.
"Lin Qiu, Lin Qiu."
When he came back to his senses, he found Zhou Xiaotong and Hou Hou looking at him with worried faces.
"Lin Qiu, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly standing still?" Zhou Xiaotong asked worriedly.
"And we called you for a long time, but you kept looking over there and didn't reply." Monkey interjected.
"It's okay, I saw a lottery shop over there and I was just curious." Lin Qiu pointed to the lottery shop over there and replied.
Zhou Xiaotong and Houhou looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a lottery shop with a lot of traffic. The decoration there was pretty good, with colorful colors put together, and it didn't look cluttered. The bright colors on the big screen 5 million can stimulate every hand who wants to bet.
The monkey looked at the string of zeros behind it and counted them with his poor knowledge.
"One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million." He counted them one by one and exclaimed.
"I'll go, one million. If someone wins, he will be crazy with joy." The monkey imagined.
"Lin Qiu, let's go, why don't we place a bet? It's only two yuan anyway, just in case we win." The monkey pushed Lin Qiu towards the other side.
This behavior was exactly what he wanted, so Lin Qiu let the monkey push him over there, but he did not forget Zhou Xiaotong, and called Zhou Xiaotong to go that way.
However, he was worried that Zhou Xiaotong had never been exposed to this kind of thing, and there were a group of men inside, so he might be scared, so he planned to ask Zhou Xiaotong to wait for them at the door. Anyway, they could see it as long as they looked up.
He was about to turn around and tell Zhou Xiaotong that he should not let her wait for them outside the door, but Zhou Xiaotong rushed in front of him and said: "Lin Qiu, walk faster, you are grinding, I want to see what the lottery shop is. It’s like that.”
He had no choice but to shut up and concentrate on walking that way.
When they arrived at the door, they saw a group of people betting enthusiastically.
The owner of the lottery shop was an enthusiastic person. He looked up and saw three children standing at the door, looking inside. There was even a pretty little girl. He guessed that there were probably a few curious children here to take a look.
So he called Lin Qiu and the others in and said to them: "Why are you kids here? Don't gamble, kids. Leave after watching. There are too many people here. It won't be good if you are crowded." ”
"Boss, we want to place bets and have fun." Lin Qiu heard the boss's persuasion and could tell that he was worried that they had entered by mistake, so he interrupted the boss directly and looked up into his eyes.
After listening to Lin Qiu's words, I also saw the determination in Lin Qiu's eyes, so I had no choice but to stop and asked casually.
"Children, are you adults? Minors are not allowed to place bets."
After getting a positive answer, he turned around and walked to the counter.
"Children, the most popular thing here is the double-color ball. Do you want to try the double-color ball or something else?" the boss asked.
"Then let's take the two-color ball." Lin Qiu recalled the scene he saw in his previous life and firmly chose the two-color ball. Zhou Xiaotong and Monkey saw that Lin Qiu chose the two-color ball, so they followed him.
"Then do you choose to bet on machine-selected numbers or bet on self-selected numbers." Worried that they would not understand, the boss also explained specifically, "Betting on machine-selected numbers means that the betting machine randomly generates betting numbers for betting, and betting on self-selected numbers means choosing the numbers yourself. Make a bet.”
"If you want to play, you can choose to bet on the numbers of your choice. Use a string of numbers that is more impressive to you, and you might win." The boss smiled at them and said.
In the end, Lin Qiu gave the boss six yuan and then chose to bet on the numbers of his choice. He recalled the series of numbers and told the boss the numbers.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by winning too big a prize, he specifically named the wrong number for a red ball. Then he stood aside with the ticket he had bet on and watched Zhou Xiaotong and Monkey place their bets. With.
He heard Zhou Xiaotong report a series of numbers. It was obviously the day when school started this year. He nodded in his mind, thinking that this date was indeed very important to Xiaotong.
After the three people left, they continued shopping.
Zhou Xiaotong walked quietly to Lin Qiu and said to him: "Lin Qiu, do you know why I chose that string of numbers?"
Lin Qiu looked down at the girl with a red face and bright eyes, and said with a smile: "Is it because we, Xiaotong, are about to enter a new stage of life?"
"Well...part of it is because of this, and part of it is because of..."
Zhou Xiaotong suddenly tiptoed close to Lin Qiu's ear and said, "Part of it is because we can be together for a longer time after that."
After saying that, as if she couldn't help but feel shy, Lin Qiu ran forward two steps. Looking at the beautiful figure running in front, Lin Qiu couldn't help feeling shy.
The monkey looked at the blush on the faces of the two people and thought that it was not that hot today. Why were their faces so red? It was really strange.
