Chapter 144: Discouragement
"Son, chop wood for me!" the second bell ordered me again.
"Well, okay. I replied, picked up the blood-red machete and went to the stake.
Bang!
The crisp sound sounded again and again, and there was a burst of pungent smell in the kitchen.
The wood, piece by piece, was split into knots by me.
"Brother, is life okay here?" Suddenly, the drought came to me.
"Son, is that person outside the door your brother?" said Uncle Zhong's voice in the kitchen.
"Uncle Zhong, my name is Night Owl, and I am the eldest brother who smells the wind. I heard my brother mention you yesterday, you take special care of him, I thank you here for being old!"
"Hahaha, you're very polite!" Uncle Zhong laughed in the kitchen, and suddenly a puff of green smoke came out of the kitchen, and Xu Xu floated in front of me and the Drought Fish, and the next moment a green demon-faced monster appeared in front of the two of us.
"I've seen Uncle Zhong!" said with a smile.
"You're good, son. Call the night owl, come and follow me into the house, and I'll give you some good food today!"
"Then thank you Uncle Zhong for your hospitality. "Dry Path.
Then Uncle Zhong turned into a puff of green smoke and drifted into the kitchen again, and I walked in with the Dry Fish.
"Come on, let's learn. Zhong Bo, a humanoid in the kitchen, pointed to the dining table in the kitchen and motioned for us to sit down.
After the two of us sat down, Uncle Zhong waved his hand, and a few stone plates appeared on the table.
And what amazes me is that there is a heart in every plate.
"What is this?" asked the Drought with a smile.
"Uncle Zhong, is this the human heart?" I asked, swallowing my saliva.
"Hahaha, you guessed it right, this is the human heart. Uncle Zhong said with a grin.
There are three plates on the table, three hearts, each beating rhythmically.
"Uncle Zhong, why is this, the heart is still beating when it has left the body, what is the reason. Dryland asked, with a puzzled face.
"Hehe, that's because I used my secret magic to make these three hearts come alive. The others are already dead, one with a red heart, one with a black heart, and one with a discouraged heart, which one do you two want?" said Zhong Bo with squinted eyes.
"Hahaha, Uncle Zhong is so funny, red-hearted, black-hearted, discouraged. I'm going to have a red heart!" I couldn't help laughing, thinking that it was boring for the old man to ask such a retarded question.
"Red heart, this is a fresh heart, the owner of this heart has not been stained with a trace of dust, and it is the purest and purest heart. Zhong Bodao.
"Uncle, then what's the matter with you giving me this black heart?" said Drought Fish, pointing at the black heart.
"This black heart, he was an extremely vicious villain in his life, and he has done a lot of evil things in his life, and his heart naturally changed from a red heart to a black heart," Zhong Bo said meaningfully.
"What about this discouraged heart?" said the dwarf again.
This discouraged heart is actually extremely disappointed in the world, and everything is not going well in his life, which has created this discouragement over time. Zhong Bodao.
"Then I want that black heart!" said the Drymath with a smile.
"Good son, if you don't have a strong concentration, you will have to pay the price for eating this black heart!
"I think I can rise above this black heart. The marble grinned.
"Okay, then this black heart is yours!" Zhong Bodao dragged the plate containing the black heart and sent it to the drought fish with a green breath.
“... "I suddenly had mixed feelings in my heart, yesterday I was asked to eat human flesh, and today I am allowed to eat people's hearts. It's only two, if I stay for a long time, then I'm still not human, or I still have no humanity.
"Of course I'm going to give it to you! But don't think about that red heart, it's yours to be discouraged. Zhong Bo smiled.
"Discouragement, then your black heart will have side effects, and will this discouragement also ......," I asked.
"There will definitely be, and the side effect of being discouraged is that you feel that the world is not going well, and you will recall all the unpleasant experiences you had at that time. Zhong Bodao.
"Uncle Zhong, I think it must be reasonable for you to give us these hearts. It should be that as long as we can resist the past, then it must be good for us, and I believe that you will definitely not harm us. The scab laughed.
"Hahaha, it's really like what you say! Yes, as long as you carry it, there will definitely be benefits, and I won't follow you as for what the benefits are. Because I can't guarantee it myself, it's all up to you. Zhong Bo smiled with relief.
"It's a great opportunity. I don't think there is a pie that fell out of vain, and it won't do any good to eat that red heart, so why don't we just eat these two hearts and try our luck?" said to me with a look of brotherly affection, which really looked like that.
"Night owl, it's really smart, this red heart is really useless as you expected, just an ordinary human heart. Zhong Bo smiled, waved his hand, and disappeared directly on the table with the plate.
"Big brother~" made a very embarrassed expression and looked at the drought, the two who came here, I have already done something that no one can do, and let me eat people's hearts, what kind of person am I, just call me a magic man.
"Smell the wind at night, you have to eat this heart, there are not so many reasons. There is no harm to you in eating, don't forget, as long as it is because of your destruction of my affairs, then your daughter-in-law and friend's heart may really appear on these plates next time. The Drought Fish spoke.
"Sovereign, I'll eat, I can't eat. I said bitterly, reaching out and taking the discouraged plate to me.
As soon as I opened my mouth, I took a light bite, but I didn't expect this bite to suddenly make me feel extremely disappointed in this world.
Why, I was born to be abandoned. Why am I just sensible, and Grandpa Rao, who raised me, has already left. Why did Cher, who was my childhood sweetheart, want to be slaughtered because I was young enough. Why did Cher, who grew up to become a ghost, leave my side because of an inexplicable curse? Why, Uncle Bai, who has always helped me, was also killed because of me.
Why, why. Thoughts echoed in my head.
At this time, my hatred and helplessness towards this world are increasing little by little.
At this point, all I had in my mind was disappointment with the world. Finally, I had a clue about Cher, but I was already in a foreign country and opened into an unknown territory.
