Chapter 136: Man or Beast?
Of course, Chen Zimo had heard of this folk saying that circulated in the Yannan area. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A female dog gives birth to nine puppies, then puts the nine puppies in a cage and does not feed them, and then, in order to survive, let the nine puppies fight each other, eat the flesh of a milk sibling, and drink the blood of a milk sibling...... Until there is only one puppy left, feed this puppy to become a "mastiff" that is more fierce and cruel than a lion and tiger, stronger in combat effectiveness, but also loyal to its owner, of course, this mastiff is not another mastiff. In the same sense, a hen normally lays two eggs, selects three hens that produce three eggs, and lets them corrupt into small pigeons, a total of nine small pigeons, and put them in the nest to kill each other, and the last pigeon that survives is a 'harrier' that can fight any fierce bird.
Of course, it's all folklore.
But the meaning is obvious, it is this most cruel method, the animals fed are extremely ferocious and strong.
And as his father said, Chen Ziman's background ......
Let Chen Zimo shudder just by listening-how is it possible?
"Incredible, right? But in those countries, in extremely poor and backward places, adults often sell their newborn children for several generations of flour and rice in order to have enough to eat for a few months and to survive. Chen Jin took a deep puff of cigarette, shook his head bitterly, and didn't seem to want to say any more, and said: "Chen Ziman is one of the few children who can survive in extreme environments, and suddenly has a trace of human conscience, and can live to his age, and is still healthy and free of disabilities, and maintains the peak combat state, very few. He couldn't bear to kill a few children much younger than him, but no less cruel than a beast, in a one-on-ten cage fight, so, after killing two children, he curled up in the corner of the cage, lowered his head, and let the children kill him. ”
"Your Uncle Bai and I are both watching this kind of killing scene for the first time, I didn't expect it to be this kind of fight before, and I thought it was black market boxing. I stood up completely subconsciously and shouted to the owners of the stadium and the owners of the child beasts, asking them to stop the fight. At that moment, your Uncle Bai noticed that Chen Ziman was looking at me with grateful eyes, as if he understood that I was saving him. Hmm, your Uncle Bai and I don't understand the rules of other people's places, so we got up and ordered the suspension of the game, which is a troublemaker...... At that time, a bunch of thugs rushed in, and without saying a word, they were going to kick me and your Uncle Bai out, they shouldn't be rude, but in the case of a few guns, they were still easily knocked down by your Uncle Bai, and my friend stepped forward in time to mediate. It's nothing more than spending money to solve the problem, and guess how much money I spent in total? ”
Chen Zimo was stunned, and immediately shook his head.
"Five Thousand Dollars"
"Five thousand? Bought it back Chen Ziman? Chen Zimo showed an incredible expression.
"It also includes compensation for the loss of the field and the medical ......expenses of the injured," Chen Jin said, "In fact, with Chen Ziman's mentality at that time, and because he had been seriously injured, he was no longer worthy, and in the end, when I offered to take him away, the other party only symbolically asked me for 100 yuan, which is worse than the price of a dead dog." ”
That being said, in fact, what the other party demanded from Chen Jin at that time was not only the loss of the stadium and medical expenses, but also the bets of all spectator gamblers, totaling more than 4 million yuan. However, a large number of armed men then rushed into the arena, and the most powerful local warlord armed leader, after receiving the news, quickly sent troops to rescue Chen Jin. Because, Chen Jin is a good friend of the warlord leader and a life-saving benefactor.
The boss who runs the black market boxing casino, no matter how powerful the local power is, when he sees such a battle, he doesn't even dare to let out a fart, and Chen Jin doesn't dare to accept the money.
However, Chen Jin still asked the friend who invited him to watch the game what the reasonable compensation price should be, and then compensated the casino owner with a lot of money, and made friends with the boss on the spot according to local customs.
Of course, Chen Jin would not say these words to his son.
Skipping this experience, Chen Jin continued: "Your Uncle Bai said that I bought a beast that may be attacked at any time, but I don't think so. After Chen Ziman came out of the cage, he prostrate directly in front of me, licked my shoes with his tongue, and said something in his mouth, my friend helped translate, he was grateful to me, and then through the translation, he knew that he had been sold to me, guess what he did? ”
"What?" Chen Zimo wondered.
"He took a chain with a leather collar, tied himself to his neck, knelt down and handed me one end of the chain."
"This ......"
"Incredible, right?" Chen Jin sighed and said, "So, if you treat him completely as a person in life, he will be uneasy, he will be sad, he will not be able to eat, he will not sleep steadily, and he will be in a panic all day long...... I recognize him as a righteous son and let him be your godbrother, which is already a great gift for him. He doesn't understand at all, and he can't accept it, the exchange of family and friendship between normal people, can you understand what I mean? ”
Chen Zimo shook his head in a daze, nodded again, and said, "It seems that I can understand a little, but it's difficult for me to do it, he's a person." ”
"He's like a toddler, he needs a little bit of education, let him know and learn for himself." Chen Jin smiled: "I don't want to keep him as a dog for the rest of my life, but this kind of thing can't be rushed." ”
"Oh." Chen Zimo nodded a little confused, and then frowned and asked, "You, what are you doing abroad?" ”
"Business ......"
"What business?"
"Gambling."
"What is betting?"
"The business of the entertainment industry is like a ...... such as a dance hall or a playground."
"Why do it abroad?"
"Because I earn a lot of money over there, and I have comrades-in-arms there, I can get help from all sides, and the competitive pressure is also less."
"Oh."
Chen Zimo didn't fully believe what his father said, but he couldn't help but inquire in detail, and then after knowing that his father was indeed doing business abroad, he told himself that his father was doing business abroad, even if it was a crime, it was also a trap for foreigners.
So the guilt and hatred for my father are not so heavy.
And Chen Zimo also knew that whether he wanted to or not, he couldn't stop his father from doing anything.
……
The custom in Yannan is to paste the Spring Festival couplets before the New Year, the earlier you paste, the more sincere the heart of the spring, and for a long time before the New Year, the Spring Festival couplets are particularly cared for, where they are broken or dirty, they have to be replaced with new ones.
Chen Zhai's Spring Festival couplets this year are the earliest in the village, which naturally attracted the attention of the villagers and knew that Chen Jin was back.
And now, everyone in the village also knows that Chen Jin is making a comeback and is rich!
After the Spring Festival couplets were pasted, he stood at the door of the hall house in the backyard, looking at the joy of the courtyard because of the Spring Festival couplets and big characters, which was full of vitality, Chen Zimo's heart was extremely comfortable, and he smiled and said to Chen Ziman, who was squatting on the side of the door again; "Brother Man, do you know what the New Year is called, what is the ** Festival?"
Chen Ziman shook his head a little confused.
"Chinese New Year, it's a year over...... We want to commemorate that we have grown up a year old and welcome the arrival of the new year, well, in a few days, Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, the village is very prosperous, when the time comes, the lights are colorful, firecrackers are firecracked, hey, I will take you to play. Chen Zimo spoke, simply squatted down next to Chen Ziman, and said with a smile: "In fact, in our country, we are very particular about family affection, and in our own family, we don't have to be too restrained, for example, you and I are brothers, and my father is your godfather, right?" Then you don't have to squat at the door all day......"
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Ziman shook his head vigorously, and then grinned and showed a smile that was more embarrassing than crying: "I have to protect my godfather and my younger brother." ”
"Uh......" Chen Zimo scratched his head, he found that Chen Ziman might not understand what he said just now.
Midday.
Li Zhizhong, the village chief who knew that Chen Jin was at home, carried two bottles of wine and two dishes, and happily came to the door to find Chen Jin to drink.
Chen Zimo really couldn't see Li Zhizhong, let alone his father and Li Zhizhong sitting together drinking and chatting enthusiastically. He felt that this was too hypocritical, and he wanted to stab the other party to death with a knife in his heart, but there was an affectionate smile on his face and sweet words in his mouth......
Therefore, Chen Zimo put rice and vegetables in a bowl, and with Chen Ziman, he sat on a small bench in the kitchen, chatting while eating.
He found that he and Chen Ziman were very close to each other.
Because Chen Ziman doesn't like to talk more than him, he is more boring and more realistic than him.
Moreover, Chen Zimo really has a very strong curiosity about Chen Ziman, and expects to be able to understand him more deeply.
In the afternoon, Li Zhizhong was full of wine and food, and he left in a very good mood.
Not long after Li Zhizhong walked on his front foot, Hou Qiang hurriedly came to Chen's house with anxiety and worry on his face.
Ten minutes later, Hou Qiang said goodbye and left.
Chen Jin brewed tea leaves on the coffee table in the living room, asked Bai Qilin to go outside the study, and called Chen Zimo, who was reviewing his homework, to the living room of the hall. Chen Jin, who was a little drunk, smoked a cigarette and drank tea, and said with a smile: "Self-silence, I have good news for you!" ”
"What?" Chen Zimo said unhappily.
He really couldn't get used to seeing his father and Li Zhizhong talking and laughing together, drinking and talking, and when Li Zhizhong left, his face was full of red light and smiles, and now his father said that there was any good news......
What a fart!
"Remember when I said that Li Zhizhong would become a lost dog in two years?" Chen Jin said with a smile: "It turns out that I still looked down on him before, and this guy can't survive next year's New Year......
