High Score Movie Life

Chapter 39 Friendship
A nursing home is a place full of routines, running in a rigid manner every moment.

It's as if the sun is setting over the mountains, making people feel lifeless.

But it's also a wonderful place to grow up, where everyone has their own story.

These old people who have experienced the mortal world have put aside the burdens of half their lives and chose to slowly complete the final journey.

They only care about the weather, the temperature of the bath water, and the beauty of the sunset.

Every once in a while, one person will leave, and then a new person will take over, and the cycle starts over and over again.

He Shen did not escape here, but chose to integrate, listen carefully to the stories of each elderly person, and feel the different lives.

Although there are extremes, persistence, sloppiness, randomness, enthusiasm, unwillingness, and impulsiveness in the stories, they are all full of vitality.

When he was five years old, Heshen finally learned to walk, although he still needed a cane for support.

Then the system rewards came.

"Congratulations to the player for learning to walk two years ahead of schedule and completing the first side mission."

"Task reward: In the final draw, you can remove an option you don't like."

It's a pretty good reward, and can be used to increase the lower limit of the lottery.

At the same time, He Shen also called up the attribute panel of this body.

"Player: He Shen"

"Playing the Role: Benjamin Button"

"Age: five years old"

"Height: 90cm"

"Strength: 3"

"Agility: 3"

"Spirit: 8"

"Skill (power): none"

"Kung Fu (Essence): None"

The old boy's physical statistics are all in single digits, but his mental state is not bad.

Although he is only five years old, he looks over 75 years old.

If he wanted to integrate into society, this appearance was not safe. He had to learn to disguise, so he thought of the four major Asian evil arts.

For sex reassignment surgery in Thailand, direct PASS cannot be considered.

Bangzi's plastic surgery is still not possible with current medical technology.

As for China's PS technology, computers have not even been built at this time, let alone P-picture software.

Only the Japanese's makeup skills can drastically change his appearance.

Among them, Mrs. Flower was a makeup artist on Broadway when she was young, and her half-life experience is enough for her to learn deeply.

"Mrs. Flowers, what is the soul of makeup?"

"It's Thrush."

"What about the basics?"

"It's lipstick."

"The most difficult thing?"

"It's the eyes."

He Shen was like a little girl, squatting next to the old woman and asking about the adult world.

Although he looked a bit effeminate and Mrs. Queenie was not supportive of this, he studied very seriously.

Anyway, he had nothing to do and had a lot of time, so he would always find something to do in his life.

In addition, he also learned music from Mrs. Sybil, because music can enter people's souls.

One day two years later, the system beep sounded again.

"The second side task is now released: Friends." "Task notes: People are group animals, and there are always a few friends in life. Now you need to make a friend, and then carry a gun with him, go whore together, drink together, and Wandering.”

"The more you complete the above four, the higher the task reward, and the deadline is within one year."

After reading the mission notes, he and Shen were confused. At his current age, it seems that they can only drink together, and the other three are not realistic.

Especially limited to one year.

In fact, drinking is not easy to achieve, because the United States promulgated alcohol prohibition at this time, and it is illegal to manufacture, sell or even transport drinks with an alcohol content of more than 0.5%.

Moreover, only people over 21 years old can buy alcohol, and they need to show proof of age.

According to memory and deep knowledge, his first friend is coming.

A black Pygmy.

Sometimes fate is wonderful, and some people just like each other, but they don't agree with each other deeply.

Because there is an old Chinese saying that birds of a feather flock together and people divide into groups.

Only when they are in the same status, in the same class, or are the same victims, can they communicate with each other and talk to each other.

Benjamin and Mr. Otty are of the same type, short, discriminated against, and unpopular.

"I heard that your actual age is not as old as you look." The little black man was very proactive, obviously enjoying life.

He Shen smiled: "One can't just look at the surface, everyone's heart is the sea, unfathomable."

"I agree, can you see through people's hearts now?"

"I can't see through it, I'm still young."

Mr. Oti quietly leaned into his ear and said, "The thing under your crotch, can it still be hard?"

He Shen turned his head and looked at the little black man with a complicated expression. Boy, do you know that it's a bit too much to expose others but not others?
"Okay, I understand. To express my apology, I would like to buy you a smoothie." Mr. Oti stood up, straightened his suit, and extended an invitation to He Shen.

He Shen did not get up immediately, but still sat on the sofa and asked: "Mr. Oti, are we friends?"

"Of course!"

"Then I accept your invitation."

He Shen followed him out of the nursing home on crutches. This was the first time he stepped out of the door.

On the bus, Mr. Oti brags to him about his life experiences, which sounds interesting, but behind the scenes there is blood and tears.

People are sold like animals and put in cages for thousands of people to admire, just because they look different from ordinary people.

It can be seen that black people during this period did not have any status. They could only sit at the back on the bus and were not allowed to sit with white people.

Except for the alternative He Shen.

After getting off the car, the two came to a river and bought two bottles of low-alcohol wine in Coke bottles from an underground alcohol seller on the roadside.

Then sit on the armchair and enjoy the sunshine, breeze and coolness.

"What happened next? I want to hear what happened next." He Shen took a sip of tasteless alcoholic coke and raised the bottle to ask the little black man.

Mr. Oti looked at the river at his feet and said with a troubled expression: "Then I left the zoo and wandered around."

"You must have suffered a lot after leaving the zoo! Mr. Oti, you are very strong."

He Shen doesn't know how to comfort people, because he is also a poor man, and a small black man doesn't need comfort.

"That zoo belongs to a rich white man. He has his own hunting team, a slave hunting team, which is active in the jungles of America and Africa all year round. It is said that he has also been to the jungles of Asia. Countless people died at their hands!"

Okay, the topic is a bit heavy, and He Shen doesn't want to dwell on it anymore.

"Have you been alone all these years?"

"Being alone most of the time, you know that's usually the case for outliers like us."

I'm just forced to do this. If it weren't for the system, he wouldn't enjoy this boring life.

The little black man suddenly raised his head, looked at Bai Yun and said: "Let me tell you a secret, no matter whether those people are tall, short, fat, thin, black or white, they are just as afraid of loneliness as we are."

In fact, it's more than that. People in the 21st century are also afraid of loneliness, but now with the Internet, people can find a little solace.
