Chapter 37: The Zhao Family
Lin Mengxi was speechless for a while, of course she didn't think about these questions at her age, and after being stunned for a while, she muttered: "What if you have money, what's the point of making it like you and your mother." ”
Lin Mengxi's father said dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing on our heads, no matter how good our life is, it is better than those poor people." I will tell you plainly that I am against you associating with the poor boy. If you really want to find a boyfriend, I'll find you a few good family conditions. After speaking, he didn't wait for Lin Mengxi to say anything, turned around and left.
Lin Mengxi stayed in the house alone. She lay down on the bed, grabbed a pillow over her face, and began to think about her future. Shen Yifan's family is indeed relatively poor, what will happen to him in the future? What kind of job can he do? What kind of life will he live if he really follows him? Although he can be said to have saved his life, if she wants her to follow him to live a poor life in the future, she can't afford to buy expensive clothing and jewelry, she can't afford to use high-end cosmetics, she has children for him, she works hard all day long, and she has to endure hardships with her children. What the hell was she going to do?
……
……
On the way home, the Demon King briefly told Shen Yifan about last night's events.
I heard that the reward for this time was given to Master Zhao who repaired the car, Shen Yifan couldn't help but feel a little regretful, this is a lot of money, with this money, he can become a little rich. However, this money was earned by the Demon King, and it has nothing to do with him, so he can do whatever he wants. However, he still asked curiously: "Why are you so good to that Master Zhao?" and give him money to marry a daughter-in-law." ”
The Demon King sighed and said, "I told him, but he didn't believe it. In fact, I am the second-generation descendant of their Zhao clan - Zhao Huo. That Zhao Fengyang is my only descendant, if I don't hurry up and give him money to marry a daughter-in-law and have a child, our Zhao family will be extinct. I told him that I was his ancestor, but he thought I was taking advantage of him, alas. ”
Shen Yifan thought in his heart: This can't be blamed on Master Zhao, no matter who it is, a stranger suddenly appears and says that it is your ancestor, he will not believe it. He felt that this was really incredible, and continued to ask: "Aren't you a monster, how can you be his ancestor? Could it be that Master Zhao is also a monster?"
The Demon King cleaned up his mood and said slowly: "I told you last time, my experience is extremely complicated, and I can't understand any hundreds of thousands of words. To put it simply, I was picked up by my master Zhao Tianlin when I was a child, and the name Zhao Huo was also given to me by my master, but we are not actually related by blood. Since I was a child, I have been practicing kung fu and spells with my master. When I was fifteen or sixteen years old, the world was in turmoil, and demons were invading the world. I followed Master to slay demons and eliminate demons. When I went to my master's Kunlun sect to ask for help, I accidentally discovered my true identity. It turns out that I am a descendant of the Blue Flame Demon Monkey who dominates the demon world, and I am a purebred monkey demon. ”
Shen Yifan exclaimed: "It's really amazing." Are the so-called Zhao clan all monkey demons?"
The Demon King was silent for a moment, as if reminiscing about the bizarre years of that year, and then he continued, "Of course not. I was struggling with a difficult decision. At that time, the demon world was about to occupy the human world, and in the end, I still chose to stand on the side of humans. One is to repay Master for her nurturing kindness, and the other is to repay my most beloved woman. In the end, my companions and I fought off the invasion of the Demon Realm. My lover also left me offspring. These descendants have been passed down from generation to generation, and if they have not been combined with the monster again, the blood of the monkey demon clan in the body will be very scarce. ”
Shen Yifan hesitated for a moment and said, "Then, tell me the story of you and your lover." ”
The Demon King said angrily: "Children's families, don't keep asking about those love things. ”
Shen Yifan still asked curiously: "Then since you helped the human race, why did you become a demon king again?"
The Demon King said proudly, "This is a long story. When my wife died and my son grew up, I returned to the demon world. After years of fighting and fighting, I am also quite famous in the demon world. Later, several elders of the demon world came to me and asked me to be the demon king, and I said at the time, how can I, a monster who grew up in the human world, be qualified to be the king of the demon world? So I had to recite two lines of poetry: 'Life and death in the demon world have been realized, how can you avoid it because of misfortune and fortune'. After that, I became the new Demon King. The lifespan of a demon is really much longer than that of a human, and when I return to the human world again, my descendants don't know how many generations they are. ”
Shen Yifan sighed: "This is too coincidental, our Huaxia country is so big, with a radius of more than 9 million square kilometers and a population of more than one billion, but when you ran to the world, you happened to be near your only descendant, is it that little bit of blood that attracts you?"
The Demon King was also very puzzled, and said, "If you don't use this to explain, it can only be said that it is a coincidence that the book is not written." ”
Shen Yifan is very troubled at the moment, he is already poor enough, and he is still thinking about how to make more money so that he can be worthy of Lin Mengxi, but now he has an inexplicable junior to take care of, and he has to help him buy a house, marry a wife and have children first, and this junior is still a bad old man, this feeling is really bad.
The Demon King also sighed over there: "Money, money, money, no matter which dynasty or generation, money is always so important!"
……
……
After the Demon King finished cultivating in the evening, he went to the town to take a look around, wanting to see if he could meet an unlucky thief at work, and he could have a praying mantis to catch cicadas, with the yellow finch behind.
It's really not easy to let him go directly to steal things, rob the rich and help the poor, and be a thief. After all, stealing things is also very technical, you need to step on some points and the like, you don't have time to do this, it's better to wait for others to steal it, and then go to rob.
After a while, the thief did not notice, but saw a young man and a woman arguing.
The man seemed to be going somewhere, but the woman grabbed him by his clothes and wouldn't let him go, crying and shouting, "Keep the money! That's what my mother left for our daughter!"
After arguing for a while, the man kicked the woman to the ground, ignoring the woman's pleading, and strode away without looking back.
The Demon King couldn't stand it anymore, so he rushed forward to stop the man, and said coldly, "Keep the money." ”
The man was startled when he saw a strange man in a mask stop in front of him and asked him for money, and hurriedly clenched his pockets and asked, "Are you going to rob?"
The woman had already gotten up at this time, ran over and grabbed the man, she didn't understand what the Demon King wanted to do, and shrank aside nervously.
The Demon King looked at the woman and asked, "I just want to ask what is going on between you. ”
When the man saw that the other party was not a robber, he suddenly became full of confidence and scolded: "It's your business, get out of the way! Don't stop me from getting rich." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull the Demon King away.
When the Demon King saw him coming, he grabbed him and threw the man to the ground.
The man grinned so hard that he couldn't get up when he sat on the ground, so the woman hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and then said to the Demon King: "Big brother, let him go, he just likes to swear, but he is still very good." ”
The Demon King choked and said in shock, "Is this still a good person? ”
The woman lowered her head embarrassedly and said softly: "He is just in a hurry to lose his gambling eyes, so he will be like this, he used to be very good to me." ”
The Demon King then asked, "What is the relationship between you two and you?" ”
The woman blushed and whispered, "We are husband and wife, not long after we got married, we just gave birth to a daughter. He gambled before, and he lost almost all the money in his family, and now he even has to gamble with his daughter's milk powder money. After speaking, I couldn't help crying, that pitiful appearance was particularly sympathetic.
The man was also very remorseful at this time, squatted down, and said angrily: "I, I just want to turn the book, I don't believe that I always lose!"
The Demon King basically understood what was going on, and he scolded the man fiercely: "When have you ever seen a casino loser? What people have is the means to win you. ”
The man tugged at his hair heavily, and said helplessly: "I also understand this truth, but I just can't swallow this breath! I, I really want to cut off my hands!"
The woman squatted down and comforted the man: "Let him go if he lost before, don't think about it, you should be stolen." In the future, we can work hard and raise our daughter in peace, okay?"
The Demon King said enviously on the side: "Look at you, what a good daughter-in-law you have married. There is such a good day, but I have to gamble and make my family restless. ”
The man said: "I was also dragged by my fellow countrymen, I won at first, and then I couldn't help but play bigger and bigger, and when I woke up, I had lost nearly 100,000." I'm really unwilling!
The Demon King couldn't help but think: It's been thousands of years, and those who open casinos are still playing these routines, and sure enough, the weaknesses of human nature can't be changed, as long as they grasp these weaknesses, they can make people keep sending money to them. He enlightened the man and said, "You've done that." If you don't stop, not only will you lose all your money, but they will also deliberately lend you a large amount of money, and then I am afraid that you will sell your wife and daughter, and you will not be able to pay it back. ”
The woman looked at the man with tears in her eyes, and kept shaking her head, hoping that he would stop there.
The man couldn't look directly at his daughter-in-law's expectant gaze, lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't gamble, and resolutely don't gamble in the future." ”
The Demon King said with relief: "That's right, okay, take your daughter-in-law back and live a good life." ”
The young couple stood up with each other's arms, bowed to the Demon King, and said, "Thank you, big brother." Then he went home.
Suddenly, the Demon King stopped them again and asked the man, "By the way, where is the casino you are talking about?"
