Chapter 382: The Gambler (28)

I turned around and coughed lightly, until Chen Cong focused his eyes on me, and then I slowly spoke: "You might as well say your request and see if we can help you, I can make it clear in advance, this is the last thing, you can't ask me to help you again and again afterwards." Moreover, I will listen to your request before making a decision, and we will help you if it is within our ability, and if it is beyond our boundaries, then you can only ask for another skill. Chen Cong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect me to have such a play, and he didn't expect that we would agree to help him. His eyes were full of enthusiasm again. He sobbed and cried, he blew his nose, "Thank you! ”

Then he began to reminisce about some of the past. It turned out that Chen Cong stole money once, that is, after Shi Xiaomei left them, Chen Cong was forced to steal his father's money, and ran to his grandmother's house in order to give the money to his grandmother. Because at that time, Chen Jin was already addicted to drugs, and he went to gamble all day long, which caused the family to be separated. Although Chen Jin also repented in front of their two brothers, and swore a poisonous oath not to touch drugs and gambling again, he couldn't hold back his demons every time. Chen Cong watched his father sink day by day, and even though he was young, he also understood the truth. One day, Chen Jin got a sum of money out of nowhere, so he put it in the bedside cabinet at random, and Chen Cong saw all this. Chen Cong remained silent, and took a few wades of money secretly while Chen Jin was out. Chen Cong is also a shrewd child, he directly called a taxi, went to his grandmother's house, and confessed everything to the deaf woman. After the deaf woman knew Chen Cong's thoughts, she reprimanded him severely, although he was well-intentioned, he couldn't do this kind of thing of rat stealing and dog stealing, and he had this kind of thought at a young age, and he grew up to pay it back. must take advantage of Chen Cong's undetermined nature to teach him how to behave in the world. The deaf woman didn't accept the money, and she didn't want Chen Cong to be beaten by his father, this Chen Jin went crazy, and he dared to live his life. Especially when he heard that his son was stealing money, it was difficult for any parent to accept such a fact.

The deaf woman came up with an idea, wrapped the money in a cloth, put it in a porcelain jar, and buried it in a remote place in the back mountain. In order to change things in the future, the deaf woman chose a towering tree as a mark, and the grandfather and grandson secretly buried the money, of course, no third party knew about this matter, it only belonged to the little secret between her and Chen Cong. Unexpectedly, today it has become a proof of mutual recognition between the ancestors and grandchildren.

Chen Jin lost the money, and unexpectedly did not get angry, but was no different from usual, and spent all the remaining money. However, unexpectedly, not long after, Chen Jin personally poisoned the two brothers, and then committed suicide himself. During this period, I don't know what happened, and the two brothers died in a daze and became wandering ghosts.

Chen Cong recalled his painful experiences, and he was also helpless. Hearing this, Bai Xuanzhi suddenly interjected: "Wait, you just said that your father took a sum of money back?" Chen Cong nodded vigorously, he tilted his head and thought for a while, "I also think it's strange, we usually can't even eat, that night, Dad was very happy, bought a lot of wine and food, and desperately let me and my brother have a full meal." I remember that he said something about the fact that he would not have to worry about food and clothing in the future, and I still don't understand what he meant. "Chen Cong was very honest and confessed everything to us.

"This is strange, where did Chen Jin get this money, I estimate that Chen Cong took tens of thousands of dollars, right?" Bai Xuanzhi pondered carefully, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Chen Cong in front of him, as if he wanted to find the answer from him. Hearing him say this, I also began to doubt, "Little ghost, do you know who your father usually interacts with?" Was there anything else your dad did that special act that day? I couldn't help but frown and asked casually.

Chen Cong held his chin, thought for a long time, and shook his head, "It's nothing special, it's just that he's very happy, very happy, I haven't seen him laugh for a long time, but that day he just laughed all day long, and he didn't lose his temper, usually when he was irritable, he beat me and my brother." However, that day he returned to his former kindness and bought me and my brother a few new clothes. ”

"Why do I think Chen Jin did this on purpose, could it be that he had already premeditated and wanted to poison the two brothers?" I turned my head to look at Bai Xuanzhi and said what I was confused in my heart without thinking. Bai Xuanzhi was still staring at Chen Cong, thoughtful.

Suddenly, a fine light flashed in Bai Xuanzhi's eyes, "It's not right, didn't you say it before, Chen Cong once said that Chen Jin was not out of his intention, but someone controlled his thoughts, think about it, what could it be that controls his thoughts?" It can't be human, right? People don't have that ability yet. After Bai Xuanzhi finished speaking, he looked at Chen Cong again and asked, "Little ghost, do you have any signs before you die?" What's so strange about it? Or what kind of weird behavior did your dad have? When I heard Bai Xuanzhi ask this, I couldn't help but feel strange, staring directly at Chen Cong, waiting for his answer.

He was a little embarrassed by the two of us, and it took a while to reply to us in a dry voice: "It's ......" We craned our necks and focused our eyes on Chen Cong, "Can you not stare at me like this, it's terrifying." Chen Cong suddenly popped out such a sentence. I nodded, and then glared at Bai Xuan, reminding him not to show his emotions so much. He didn't get angry, but smiled at me, leaned over, and whispered, "It seems that the two of us have a tacit understanding." ”

"It's okay, you go on, we were a little excited." Bai Xuanzhi looked at Chen Cong, who looked very distressed, and said with a serious face.

Chen Cong didn't speak, just looked at us lightly, his eyes were full of helplessness, and he was startled by the words and deeds of the two of us just now.

"You guys have a really good relationship, and my brother and I have a good relationship, but it's just ......" Chen Cong mentioned his brother, and showed a gloomy look, he lowered his head, didn't say any more, his hands were clenched tightly, as if he remembered some bad memories. He doesn't say, and we don't ask. When he wants to explain it to us one day, we will listen to it. Now, it's not the time.
