Chapter 40: Storytelling

Chen Ming didn't know about the magazine, he finally finished shopping with Xu Xiaomei, and it was already afternoon at this time.

The two went out to have a casual meal, then went to the computer city, and finally bought a desktop computer for 3,000 yuan, and when the computer was delivered to the house, it was already evening.

"Chen Ming, let's go to the roof and chat. "The staff member who sent away the computer city, Xu Xiaomei said.

"Hmm. Of course, Chen Ming would not refuse such a trivial matter.

The building where Chen Ming lives is only seven floors, which is not too tall in the city. There was a breeze on the top floor, and there was a big moon in the sky, all of which swept away the summer heat.

"Chen Ming, do you know what happened to Zhao Wang?" Xu Xiaomei asked while lying on the balcony, looking at the night view of the small county town.

"I don't know, what's wrong with him?" Chen Ming experienced last night's incident and knew that it was caused by Zhao Wang, but he still didn't know what exactly happened.

"After Zhao Wang left the day before yesterday, he was asked by Yang Xiaofei to be poisoned and became a fool. Xu Xiaomei said.

"Why?" Chen Ming said in surprise.

Without waiting for Xu Xiaomei to answer, he said again: "Is it because of martial arts?"

"Hmm. Xu Xiaomei nodded, in fact, she had reminded Zhao Wang of this matter, and this kind of reminder was rare and valuable in terms of the relationship between the two, but Zhao Wang still didn't have the slightest vigilance after hearing it.

Xu Xiaomei will not blame herself for this incident, although she has sympathy, she is not a person who is overflowing with love.

After receiving Xu Xiaomei's affirmative answer, Chen Ming was a little speechless, these people fought to the death for a martial art, it was really not worth it.

"Chen Ming, tell me a story. Xu Xiaomei suddenly turned around and said.

The moon tonight was already very big, and the moonlight sprinkled on Xu Xiaomei's face added a bit of delicacy to her, Chen Minggang wanted to say that I still want to go down to write a novel, but when he saw the expectation in Xu Xiaomei's eyes, he said directly: "Okay." ”

"It's going to be shorter. Xu Xiaomei made another request.

"Hmm. Chen Ming thought about the stories he had heard, and the first thing that came to mind was a little story that an aunt told him when he was in an orphanage.

"Once upon a time there was a big mountain, and there was a village at the bottom of the mountain, and there was a family in the village that had a monkey. Chen Ming began to speak, and Xu Xiaomei listened quietly on the side.

"This monkey is very intelligent and has never caused trouble to the family, and the man and woman of the house are also very kind to this monkey. Later, the hostess of the house gave birth to a child, because their family was very poor, so they had to go out early and return late every day to work in the field, so as not to go hungry, when they went to work in the field, they would leave the child and the monkey in the house, let the monkey help take care of the child, the monkey was very human, never let the child have an accident. ”

"I want one of these monkeys too. Xu Xiaomei said yearningly.

Chen Ming smiled and continued: "Until one day, the child's parents went out to work as usual, put the child on the kang in the house, and let the monkey watch. When it was almost noon, a hungry wolf came down from the mountain in the house, and the hungry wolf saw the child lying on the kang and pounced directly, and the monkey hurriedly stopped in front of the child and fought with the hungry wolf. ”

"Was that monkey killed by a wolf?" asked Xu Xiaomei worriedly.

"Nope. Hearing Chen Ming's answer, Xu Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief, she already liked the monkey in the story, but she didn't want the monkey to die like this.

"Of course, the monkey can't beat the wolf, and after a few bites, he was bitten a lot of wounds, and a lot of blood was shed, but fortunately, the monkey and the wolf moved very much, and the child woke up, and the child howled and cried, which attracted the attention of the neighbors, and people ran to see it, and found that it was the wolf on the mountain who came down, so they took a shovel, and a hoe and other farm tools drove the wolf away. ”

"Why don't they kill the wolf? Xu Xiaomei asked again.

"People here don't know martial arts. Chen Ming then remembered that to tell some stories in this world, he had to add the premise that he didn't know martial arts.

"Oh, what happened later?" asked Xu Xiaomei.

After driving the wolf away, the men praised the family for raising a good monkey, and when they found that nothing happened, they all went home. Soon after, the man of the house also returned, and as soon as he entered, the monkey ran up and grinned with joy. The monkey is a creature, and he likes to ask for credit for everything, not to mention that it has done such a big thing today, and the man is a little strange when he sees the blood of the monkey, and then he looks into the house, and finds that his child is lying motionless on the kang, and the quilt and pillow are full of blood, and the man thinks that the monkey killed his child, and he lost his mind in anger, and directly chopped it with an axe that chopped wood, and hacked the monkey to death at once. At this time, his wife also came from behind, and said from afar, 'The neighbors said that we had a good monkey, and today a wolf broke in to eat our child, and thanks to the monkey's desperate efforts, the child's life was saved.' Only then did the man realize that he had killed the monkey by mistake. After Chen Ming's story was finished, he found that Xu Xiaomei was staring at him coldly.

"Eh, what's wrong?" Chen Ming asked cautiously.

"Didn't you say monkeys don't die, and I'm never going to listen to your stories anymore. Xu Xiaomei was very angry, she had already imagined that the monkey had driven away the hungry wolf, how happy the family would be when they found out, but they didn't expect that person to kill such a smart monkey because of a misunderstanding.

Xu Xiaomei really wanted to throw Chen Ming off the roof.

"That's what this story is, and it's what you want me to tell. Chen Ming remembered that after the aunt told him this story when he was a child, he felt sorry for the monkey for days.

"I don't care, you tell me stories in the future, don't tell tragedies. Xu Xiaomei said.

"Good. Chen Ming readily agreed. He actually has another purpose for this story, that is, he is afraid that Xu Xiaomei will do something regretful due to misunderstanding in the future, and the misunderstanding can be used to advance the plot in the novel, but Chen Ming doesn't want Xu Xiaomei to have some misunderstandings about him in reality, although this is unlikely, but Chen Ming also wants to strangle this kind of thing in the cradle.

Xu Xiaomei took out her mobile phone and looked at the time, and found that it was almost ten o'clock, and exclaimed: "Suffer, my master will definitely scold me when I go back so late, Chen Ming, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going home." ”

"Well, let's go down. Chen Ming said.

"I don't need us, I can do it myself. At the same time as Xu Xiaomei spoke, the person had already jumped from the roof, Chen Ming hurriedly climbed to the balcony, and found that Xu Xiaomei had performed light skills and fell to the ground gently.

"It's still a little girl, after all. Chen Ming shook his head and smiled, seeing Xu Xiaomei walk out of the community from the bottom of the building, he waved his hand to him, Chen Ming also waved his hand, and went downstairs to the house.

At the same time, the book review area of "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" is full of mourning.

"Jin Guda, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said that yesterday. ”

"What did you say yesterday?"

"I said that Jin Gu wrote so well, don't say three chapters a day, even one chapter in three days can be ......"

"I went, it turned out that you Jin Gu didn't update it today, he must have read your book review, and he took it seriously. ”

"I was wrong~~"
