Lin Zhiming stood in front of the lottery shop counter with a boy who called himself Chen Kuhai.
"Handsome guy, buy a scratch-off lottery ticket. It looks like you are a lucky person and you will definitely win the jackpot." The fat boss looked at Lin Zhiming and Chen Kuhai with a smile, as if he were looking at two big fish about to hang themselves.
.
"I...have never bought anything like this." Chen Kuhai shook his head.
"Didn't you say you want to die? But I think your life should not be cut off. In this case, let fate decide. Wait a minute and I will draw a lottery ticket from it. If I win, it will prove that what I said is true.
That's right, if you don't win, then let it go. None of us can control whether we win the lottery or not. It all depends on fate. What do you think?" Lin Zhiming said.
"Isn't this... a bit too hasty?" Chen Kuhai said doubtfully.
"Isn't what you did on the beach today careless?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"That's something I've been thinking about for a long time," Chen Kuhai said.
"If you don't mention that, just ask if you are willing to bet with me. As long as you don't win the lottery, I will let you go. You don't have to pay me back the money you owe me, and I won't go to your grandma." Lin Zhiming
said.
"Is it true?" When Chen Kuhai heard Lin Zhiming say that he didn't have to pay back the money, he immediately became energetic.
"Of course, it's hard to follow my words once I say something," Lin Zhiming said.
"That...okay!" Chen Kuhai nodded.
Lin Zhiming smiled and said to the boss, "Boss, take out the lottery tickets and let me pick one."
"One is not enough, handsome guy. Buy a few more. The more you buy, the more you win. I think you are a person who is destined to make a fortune!" The boss said as he took out several types of lottery tickets from the drawer and put them away.
In front of Lin Zhiming.
"Choose it yourself." the boss said.
Lin Zhiming glanced at the lottery tickets on the table and his pupils shrank slightly.
The next moment, the lottery ticket became transparent little by little in Lin Zhiming's eyes. Then, all the numbers and patterns in the lottery ticket appeared in front of Lin Zhiming's eyes.
"Sure enough, I can see it!" Lin Zhiming was overjoyed.
When he bought the Titan's Eye at an auction, the host said that this eye could not read lottery tickets. However, as his charging progress increased, the function of the Titan's Eye was fully opened. He had seen through paper more than once.
quality items, so he decided that the current Eye of Titan should be used to read lottery tickets, and the result was just as he thought...
You really don’t deserve to die!
Lin Zhiming glanced at Chen Kuhai, and then quickly picked up a lottery ticket.
This was a scratch-off lottery ticket with a face value of twenty yuan. Through perspective, Lin Zhiming already knew that this lottery ticket would win a small prize of twenty yuan.
For Lin Zhiming, he doesn't mind how much money he can win. After all, he can earn far more money than the first prize of the lottery by scratching the lottery tickets. Right now, all he wants is to win.
Lin Zhiming handed the lottery ticket to Chen Kuhai and said, "Scratch it. With my luck and your luck, this ticket will definitely win."
"I don't know how to play with this thing." Chen Kuhai shook his head.
"Just scratch it off. Come on, use this!" The boss on the side said as he handed a coin to Chen Kuhai.
Chen Kuhai held the coin and looked at the scratch-off lottery in front of him.
He clearly remembered that he came to Strait City to see the sea, watch the sunset on the sea, and then end his life in such beautiful scenery.
Why now...are you here to scratch the lottery ticket yourself?
Did this matter go astray?
In doubt, Chen Kuhai scratched the lottery ticket.
As Lin Zhiming expected, he won twenty yuan from this lottery ticket. The lowest prize was the same as the face value of the ticket.
"You're lucky. I won twenty yuan. How about another one?" the lottery shop owner said with a smile.
"Look, I won, it's God's will!" Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"This... can only be said to be an accident, nothing like it." Chen Kuhai shook his head.
"Isn't that nothing? Then draw another one? You know, the winning rate of the lottery is less than half, and the probability of winning two consecutive lottery tickets is less than a quarter! This is too difficult!" Lin Zhiming frowned.
road.
"If I can win the next one, I believe it is my fate!" Chen Kuhai said seriously.
"Okay, let's get another one." Lin Zhiming said, picking up a lottery ticket.
This was a ten-dollar scratch-off ticket, and the winning amount was twenty yuan. Lin Zhiming also saw it.
Chen Kuhai scratched the lottery ticket with a coin and found that he had won again, and he still won 20 yuan.
In other words, now I have made a profit of ten yuan.
"You're pretty lucky, little brother!" the boss said with a smile.
"If you hit two games in a row, you have nothing to say, right?" Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"...A quarter, it's not very difficult, it might be luck..." Chen Kuhai shook his head.
"Are you still acting rogue?" Lin Zhiming frowned and said.
"Brother, I just want to die..." Chen Kuhai looked at Lin Zhiming with a sad face.
"I told you, you shouldn't take your life. Since you think the probability of one in four is high, then keep scratching!!" Lin Zhiming said, took out a few lottery tickets from the table, photographed them in front of Chen Kuhai and said, "
Is this enough for so many cards? The probability of winning in a row is one percent, you scratch it for me, if you lose money on one card, you will die!"
"That's what you said!" Chen Kuhai excitedly picked up the lottery ticket and was about to scratch it, but Lin Zhiming held his hand down.
"But...if you get hit by all of these, you have to survive for me." Lin Zhiming stared at Chen Kuhai and said.
Chen Kuhai looked at Lin Zhiming's serious expression and suddenly seemed to understand something...
"Brother, if God really doesn't let me die this time, then... I will live well." Chen Kuhai said.
"Okay, you go ahead and shave it!" Lin Zhiming said.
Chen Kuhai took the coins and carefully scratched open the lottery tickets one by one.
Without any surprise, all these lottery tickets were successful.
Although they are all small prizes, the 100% winning rate still makes the lottery shop owner a little confused.
Isn’t this lottery a good tool for cutting leeks? When did it become a welfare product?
"Really, have you really won?!" Chen Kuhai asked with a trembling voice while holding the lottery ticket.
"I told you that your life should not be cut off," Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
Chen Kuhai looked at the lottery ticket in his hand.
He doesn't believe in fate, because if there really is such a thing as fate, his life shouldn't be like this.
But now, these lottery tickets in front of him are clearly telling him that his life should not end with this...
At this moment, Chen Kuhai seemed to have finally found his sustenance in life.
"Let's redeem the prize. After all, we will earn several hundred this time, which we can just use for dinner." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"Cash, cash in, boss." Chen Kuhai handed the lottery ticket to the boss.
The boss said with an expression on his face while claiming the prize, "You two are really the luckiest people I have met in all the years I have opened a lottery shop. The winning rate is 100%, which I have never heard of."
Chen Kuhai smiled.
He felt that his life might not be all bitterness, but occasionally there would be some sweet things.
In the end, Lin Zhiming successfully collected 350 yuan worth of wool from the Welfare Lottery, and took Chen Kuhai to a nearby local Fujian restaurant and ordered some local dishes.
Not sure whether it was because he had vomited before or because he had never eaten much, Chen Kuhai started eating this time.
Lin Zhiming could feel that Chen Kuhai's mood had improved a lot, and he was willing to tell him some things, including his identity and the reason for his suicide.
What surprised Lin Zhiming was that Chen Kuhai was actually an internet celebrity.
Of course, internet celebrity here is a complimentary term.
Chen Kuhai is only sixteen years old this year. Not long after he was born, his biological parents sold him to his adoptive parents. Later, when he was four years old, his adoptive parents died in an accident, leaving him alone. Since then,
He lived with his grandparents.
Due to the lack of relationship between his parents since childhood, Chen Kuhai suffered a lot of bullying at school and left school early.
Later, Chen Kuhai accidentally learned that he was not the biological child of his adoptive parents, so he embarked on the road to find his parents.
The process of searching for his family was very difficult. While working, he posted content about searching for his family online, which attracted a lot of attention.
Finally, three months ago, he finally found his biological parents.
Originally this was a perfect ending for everyone, but this ending became worse because of some actions of the biological parents.
First of all, his biological parents were divorced and had their own lives, so they were unwilling to accept Chen Kuhai, who was kicked back and forth by both sides like a ball.
But even so, he was unwilling to leave his biological parents and hoped to rent a house near them so that he could see them often. However, this idea was rejected by his biological parents, and his biological mother even more so.
Lose his credibility and completely sever ties with him.
This incident also attracted the attention of many media and netizens. The Beijing News went to interview his biological parents. As a result, his biological parents spread rumors and slandered him, saying that he was putting on a show and that he actually wanted to be an Internet celebrity.
, and said that he forced them to buy a house for him...
After these rumors were reported by unscrupulous media, many keyboard warriors immediately criticized him online.
He received countless private messages of abuse every day and suffered from depression as a result.
More than a month of treatment failed to cure his depression. On the contrary, with the media reports, the keyboard warriors' online attacks on him became more serious.
Therefore, Chen Kuhai thought of committing suicide.
He has always liked the sea, and his first idea was to go to Asan City, which is the most famous island city in the Dragon Kingdom.
But later he found that the air tickets were too expensive, and he didn't want to spend too much money before he died, so he chose Strait City, which was also located on the seaside but had much cheaper air tickets.
He flew to Straits City in the afternoon, bringing medicine and a mobile phone.
After leaving the airport, he went to the beach, bought a bottle of wine, drank and took medicine, and then mistakenly entered the path and ended up on the rocky beach.
…
"This world is too bitter. I want to try my luck in the next life..." Chen Kuhai said to Lin Zhiming with a smile.
