One day in 1996, Song Xuewen from Jilin picked up something similar to a key chain on the side of the road, thinking it was a very common item, but he didn't expect this key chain to be a metal substance with radiation, and his life was completely changed due to amputation caused by radiation.
It can also be seen from this incident that things on the side of the road must not be picked up.
Although the chance of picking up a radioactive item is very small, picking up other items does not mean that good things are coming.
According to the old man, "If you don't pick up things on the side of the road, it's all troublesome to pick them up", do you know the meaning of this sentence?
01 Old clothes and shoes on the side of the road
You may also wonder why people pick up old clothes and shoes to wear, but it's not uncommon to see such things.
There is an old man in our community who often picks up other people's old clothes and shoes to wear, because in his concept, these items are still quite new, and they are quite wasteful when they are thrown away, and they can be worn after picking them up and washing them.
Others will pick up shoes, clothes or bags thrown away by the rich in villas, sell them or keep them for their own wear.
It's true, now that people's living conditions are better, clothes and shoes are bought with the trend, and sometimes the style or color is outdated, people don't wear it, and they can only throw it away after a few years.
At this time, a friend who likes this dress happened to see it, so he might pick it up and go home, wash it and continue to wear it.
Although this behavior does not seem to be bad, do you know the health of their former owners when it comes to clothes and shoes that are thrown away?
If the previous owner had a skin disease, would you also get the disease if you wore these old clothes?
From Feng Shui, because the homonym of "shoes" is "evil", the ancients believed that picking up old shoes thrown away by others would bring evil to themselves.
Even in poor ancient times, people would not pick up shoes on the side of the road, for fear of attracting evil spirits, and the already hard life would be even more difficult if they got into trouble again.
Again, if the previous owner passed away due to illness, and his family threw away his clothes when they were sorting out their clothes, do you see that it is quite appropriate to pick them up?
In the folk, there is a custom of burning the clothes of the dead, and in some places, the clothes of the dead will be thrown away.
The ancients believed that these dead people carried the souls of the dead on their clothes, and if you picked them up, they would always haunt you and make it impossible for you to live a quiet life.
Therefore, for the sake of your physical and mental health, you must not pick up clothes and shoes on the side of the road.
02 Roadside toys
Now that people's living conditions are better, they will buy a lot of toys for the children at home, and some toys will be played for a long time, and the children are not happy to play, and the family will throw the old toys to the side of the road when they are cleaning up.
When some elderly people saw these toys, they thought they were good, so they would pick them up and play with them for their children.
But these abandoned toys on the side of the road are not as harmless as they seem, but have many potential safety hazards, and if you pick them up, it is easy to invite trouble.
Let's start with hygiene, these toys harbor germs. If the previous player suffers from an infectious disease, even if he takes it home and washes it, it may not be completely cleaned, and the presence of germs will bring health risks to the family.
When children play with toys, they always put toys in their mouths, and although adults have told them not to eat toys, children remember where to play and put them in their mouths.
Once these picked up toys are ingested, germs can enter the body and cause serious health problems.
There are also children who eat when they play with toys and don't like to wash their hands, which will bring the virus in the toy into the body.
Speaking of security, there are bad guys who will prepare miniature cameras and hide them in stuffed animals. Once you bring the toy home, the camera will record what is happening in your home.
Bad people use cameras to determine when you are out of the house, and may take advantage of your absence to commit burglary, and in serious cases, upload your private photos and videos online to earn improper benefits. For us, it can be a loss of money, or a disrepute.
There are also people who hide some illegal items in their toys, and if you accidentally bring them home, it is easy to attract lawsuits and get into trouble.
Just thinking about it makes people scared that there are so many hidden dangers hidden in the toys on the side of the road, so no matter how good these toys are, don't pick them up and take them home, otherwise what awaits you is endless trouble.
03 Accessories
In ancient times, there was a saying that if a person suffers from a serious illness that cannot be cured for a long time, one can throw the valuable ornaments of the house to the side of the road, so that the person who picks it up can take away your illness and you will be able to recover your health.
Although there is no scientific basis for this statement, from a medical point of view, if the owner of the jewelry is suffering from infectious diseases, you will definitely be infected if you pick up his jewelry.
Some time ago, there was an incident reported in the news that a woman picked up some jewelry on the side of the road, and these jewelry looked quite good, so she took it home without permission.
After a while, the woman received a call from a stranger, claiming that she was the owner of the jewelry, and accidentally lost the jewelry, hoping that the woman would return it to her, and would also give the woman some money as a reward.
So, according to the other party's request, the woman came to the place where she met and prepared to return the jewelry to her.
I thought this matter was over, but I didn't expect the other party to say that the jewelry she returned to her was fake and wanted the woman to lose money.
Not to be outdone, the woman said that she could call the police and let the police deal with the matter, but she didn't expect the other party to be overwhelmed and didn't let the woman call the police.
For her own safety, the woman had to lose money, and only then went to the police station to report to the police, and finally with the help of the police, she recovered the money that had been defrauded.
This incident also taught the woman a lesson, and she didn't dare to pick up things on the side of the road in the future.
There are a lot of scammers who have scammers, and the jewelry you picked up has been replaced with fakes, so as to make you compensate, this kind of scam is just the tip of the iceberg, and more scams are difficult to prevent.
In order not to let the bad guys take advantage of it, don't go greedy and pick up roadside accessories.
04 Discarded idols on the side of the road
In the people, there are many people who believe in gods, and they will worship Guanyin Bodhisattva or Buddha at home, and people will discard the gods on the side of the road for other special reasons such as moving.
Some people who also believe in the gods see them and think that it is disrespectful to the gods to leave them on the side of the road, so they take them home, but this practice will bring bad luck to themselves.
Some idols have cracks when they are abandoned, and in folk legends, broken idols will have resentment, and if they are picked up and taken home, they will bring the resentment back with them, and things such as wealth may occur.
As the old saying goes, it is easy to please the gods and it is difficult to send the gods, although the statue is an item, but in the hearts of the old people, it is a psychic item, if you rashly discard the gods, it will attract the complaints of the gods, and people will discard the gods and pick them up again, not only will not bless you, but also let the gods retaliate.
05 Mobile phones on the road
Ms. Liu's mobile phone was accidentally lost, and the day after the loss, she finally got through to her phone, and the person who received the call said that the phone could be returned to her, and the two agreed to meet at the entrance of the mall.
Ms. Liu was worried that the other party would ask for a high reward by returning the phone, so she called the police and asked the police to pick up the phone with her.
When I arrived at the entrance of the mall, the person who picked up the mobile phone saw the police present, and was very angry, saying that I didn't steal it, and now I will return it to you, and you will call the police like a thief, so he scolded a few words without words.
Ms. Liu was also very unhappy, saying that you are willing to return my mobile phone, why do you have to turn it off for one night, it must be ulterior motives.
Later, under the investigation of the police, it was learned that the person who picked up the mobile phone originally wanted to turn on the phone and wait for the owner to call, but the mobile phone battery was very low and it was turned off after a while, so he took the mobile phone home to charge.
Later, the relatives at home called to eat, and happened to drink too much during the meal, so they went home the next day to turn on the phone, and then received a call from the owner.
Originally, he picked up the mobile phone, but he didn't want to keep it for himself, but there were too many coincidences that Ms. Liu misunderstood, and he also caused himself a lot of trouble, which couldn't help but make him complain, if he didn't pick it up if he knew it, there would be so much trouble.
With the affluence of people's lives and the advancement of science and technology, more and more people have mobile phones, and we will put some money in the mobile phone, and we will also store some photos, which involve our personal privacy.
If you accidentally lose your phone, it will cause the leakage of personal information, and the person who picks up the phone may not get the other party's thanks, and the other party will suspect that it is stealing or has ulterior motives.
Nowadays, mobile phones have a location function, once you pick up the phone home, it means that your own information will be leaked, and it is likely that the bad guys will take the opportunity to track the location of your home.
In the people, the common people believe that if they pick up valuable items, if they are not returned to the owner, they may lead to their own ruin, so when they see the mobile phone on the side of the road, don't be greedy to keep it, and be a person who picks up money.
At the same time, in order to ensure your own safety, don't pick up your mobile phone when you see it on the side of the road, and the simplest and most straightforward way to deal with it is to call the police and let the police deal with it.
