In fact, beggars are very common in New York. Some people even wrote articles praising how different the foreign beggars are from the domestic beggars. In their opinion, the foreign beggars can be called high-end and classy beggars. They even
Not to be a beggar to survive, but to experience a different kind of life.
Of course, in fact, these are all nonsense. In the end, being a beggar still means you have no money. And the beggar in front of you looks no different from the beggars in China. He is just as dirty, wearing a dirty T-shirt and jeans, and his legs are
Also covered with a tattered suit picked up from somewhere, the beggar lowered his head most of the time. Occasionally he raised his head to look around, and then immediately lowered his head again, his eyes slightly panicked.
The beggar’s face was also dirty, and he didn’t know how long it had been since he had washed it. Xiao Ge stared at the beggar for a while, and still felt that he looked familiar, but he still couldn’t recognize who it was, but he was sure of one thing.
The thing is, although this beggar dresses like a man, he is actually a woman.
"Husband, what's wrong?" Judy couldn't help but ask when she found that Xiao Ge had been looking at the beggar.
"That beggar is a woman, and she looks a bit familiar." Xiao Ge said truthfully: "It can't be such a coincidence, can you meet a beggar you know here?"
"Husband, maybe it's someone you've seen before. Let's go over and take a look. You may have seen her before but don't remember it, and she might know you." Judy reminded.
"That's right. For a great man like me, people who have met me will definitely remember me." Xiao Ge nodded immediately, then hugged Judy and walked towards the beggar.
This beggar looks like a Chinese. There are actually quite a few Chinese in New York, but there don’t seem to be many here in Manhattan. Most of the Chinese here are temporary tourists, and they are like the two women who just talked about the Chinese beggar.
Similarly, when seeing this Chinese beggar, he hid away quickly for fear of being embarrassed, let alone giving some money to his compatriots.
The beggar had been sitting there with a hat in front of her. There were a few coins and a few banknotes in the hat, but the one with the largest denomination seemed to be only one dollar. When she saw someone coming, not only did she not raise her head to beg, but instead
She lowered her head until she suddenly saw a twenty-dollar bill in the hat in front of her, and finally couldn't help but raise her head.
She first saw Judy, because it was Judy who gave her the money, and she whispered thank you in English. Then she saw Xiao Ge next to Judy, and then she seemed to be stunned for a moment.
"You, you..." the beggar stammered, as if she wanted to say something, but she just kept saying the word "you". Her voice sounded a little unnatural, and she seemed to be a little less able to speak. Maybe it was
It’s been a long time since I spoke Chinese.
"Do you know me?" Xiao Ge asked directly, "You look familiar to me, but I can't remember who you are."
"Are you Xiao Ge?" The female beggar finally asked completely. The look in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Ge showed shrinking, anxiety, shame, and a hint of fear.
"You really know me." Xiao Ge was a little surprised, "But who are you? I should have some impression of you."
"I, I am Wang Jia." The female beggar said cautiously.
"Wang Jia?" Xiao Ge began to think about the person whose name corresponded, and then finally remembered, "Oh, I understand, you are the one in our class who always likes to have trouble with Xiao Chan, and you even ran naked on the sports field.
That Wang Jia, right?"
Xiao Ge nominally studied at Ningcheng University for three years, but in fact, he stayed in the Tiandao Immortal Bracelet for two years, and in the other year, he probably only spent a few months in total.
School, and the time in the classroom was even shorter, which resulted in him not being familiar with the classmates at all. He had no impression of most of them until he left.
Among the classmates in the class, the one Xiao Ge was most familiar with was naturally Xiao Chan, and then Zhang Xiaopang. Apart from these two, Wang Jia was also more impressed because she had met Xiao Chan again and again.
They quarreled, and even once made a bet with Xiao Chan and ran away naked, so it still left a little impression in his mind.
It was precisely because of this that he felt familiar when he saw Wang Jia now. However, the beggar-like Wang Jia now had obviously changed a lot from his previous appearance. He was much thinner and haggard, and his face was even messily painted.
, so Xiao Ge just thought it looked familiar. If she hadn't said the name herself, he would definitely not have been able to remember it.
"Yes, I, I am that Wang Jia." Wang Jia looked up at Xiao Ge, tears flowed out unconsciously, and her voice was choked, "Xiao Ge, I'm sorry, I was just a little jealous of Xiao Chan at the beginning. She and I were actually
There is no deep hatred, just fighting spirit. I know I am not qualified to ask you to help me, but I really have no choice now. Can you save me? I really can’t find anyone to help. I know you are very capable...
…”
Wang Jia burst into tears as she spoke, and her speech was somewhat incoherent. She looked quite helpless now. It can be imagined that she has been having a very bad life recently.
"How did you become a beggar here?" Xiao Ge interrupted Wang Jia and couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Ge couldn't really sympathize with Wang Jia's current situation. After all, he had nothing to do with Wang Jia. Xiao Ge had never been the kind of person who was overly sympathetic, but he was really curious. He really couldn't figure it out.
Why did Wang Jia, who was so good, become a beggar, and why did he come all the way here to be a beggar?
"I, I was tricked here." Wang Jia wiped his eyes, "I have no money, no passport, nothing, and there are gangs looking for me. If they find me, I will die.
I don’t dare to call the police. The girl who escaped with me was found by the gang just because she called the police. Now I don’t know whether she is dead or alive. I don’t dare to call home. I don’t want to hurt my parents, and I don’t want them to know that I am like this.
miserable……"
As she talked with the two of them, Wang Jia's mood gradually calmed down. She also recognized Judy. Wang Jia did not find it strange that Judy and Xiao Ge were together. She had known that Xiao Ge was a very capable person.
, she has always believed that Xiao Chan is where she is today because of hooking up with Xiao Ge.
The three of them were chatting on the street, which was not surprising. People often chat with beggars abroad, and Xiao Ge and Zhu Di finally knew how Wang Jia ended up in this situation.
Jealousy is really not a good emotion. The original reason why Wang Jia fell into this situation can be said to be because of her jealousy of Xiao Chan.
