Chapter 124: Before the Storm
During this time, the Xiliang base seemed to have returned to calm, originally everyone thought that Hongfei would replace Zhiyuan as a new generation of base executors, but Zhou Ling asked him to take some people out to collect materials and sweep away the surrounding safety hazards, and did not let him give him any rights in the base, at least on the surface.
And Zhiyuan was assigned a lot of rights and things by Zhou Ling, and he was busy all day long, but at the same time, his prestige slowly surpassed Zhou Ling, and gradually, two completely different voices appeared in the Xiliang base, one is to support Zhiyuan, and the other is neutral, because Zhou Ling has not appeared in the base for a long time, everyone has a thought, that is, Zhiyuan is already the real leader of this base.
Zhiyuan didn't want to do this, because of the contract, he would not betray Zhou Ling at all, so whenever others said that he was the real ruler of the base, he would be very disgusted and angry, but Zhou Ling just asked him not to refute it, just be silent, which made him even more depressed, and even Ah Yun was curious, so on this day she asked Zhou Ling why he would let the base have such rumors. Zhou Ling just said meaningfully:
"The base is now dominated by men, there are very few female talents, and the construction of the base is very large, and the male labor in the ordinary people contributes more, and now women can only do some sewing and mending, watering vegetables and planting the land. So the base is supposed to be a man in power, and a woman is just a subordinate. ”
Ayun was silent, these problems had indeed happened in the Xiliang base. Men with a little ability harvest a lot every month, in addition to using it to support their families, individual ones have begun to raise little lovers, because survival is no longer their problem, full of warm thoughts, the yellow-faced woman at home can't attract their attention, and more women who are a little bit of beauty don't want to work. Every day they think about finding a supernatural or a strong man as a backer, so that they don't care whether the man has a wife and children, they just need to be comfortable.
At the complaints office under her management, many women come to cry every day. said that the husband raised little women, left them alone, and even some women simply turned a blind eye and lived in the same room with their husband's lover. Just so as not to be abandoned. There are also old people on crutches, trembling angrily and scolding their children for not caring about themselves, and there is no legal sanction in the last days, causing these people to become more and more bold, and they will raise their families when they are happy, and ignore them if they are unhappy.
When dealing with these things, Ah Yun said to her more than once:
"Xiao Ling, I really can't stand it, why are some men so ruthless to their wives. Even parents don't care. ”
And Zhou Ling didn't scold, but remembered it in his heart. She knows very well that even in a society with a sound moral system and laws, these problems exist, let alone the end of the world, according to her previous character, she would have seen one kill one for a long time, but now, she is no longer the same she was at the beginning, either she will not do it, or she will completely eliminate it, and when these people swell to the limit, it is time for her to do it,
Ah Yun looked at Zhou Ling from the side, she became more and more confused about what her master was thinking and planning in her heart, she hesitated for a moment, and still asked:
"If you come forward, the rumors will go away and these poor women will be helped, but why should you let it go on."
Zhou Ling shook his head:
"It's a mess, do you untie it little by little, or just cut it in two, so that it can't form a lump again, if I come forward now, not only will it not work, but it will make these people even more unconvinced, because if these women are not strong themselves, then it is even more impossible for me to deal with these messes behind them."
After a pause, Zhou Ling's tone suddenly became cold and abnormal, and his expression became cold:
"My base, I won't raise cowardly and useless people, why do you think I don't care, remember clearly that in the last days, never expect others to come to administer justice to you, and after a while, people with self-esteem and shame will resist, and those who are cowardly and resigned to their fate will be completely eliminated, naively thinking that everyone is a good person will be eaten at all, the story of nine dogs and a mastiff, Ah Yun, don't tell me that you don't understand this truth, let alone have a temperament like Zhiyuan, otherwise sooner or later you will harm yourself."
After listening to Zhou Ling's words, Ah Yun understood that the final result that Zhou Ling wanted, all the things he planned, were far more cruel than they imagined, realizing this, Ah Yun lowered his head, Xiao Ling, what did he go through to make Xiao Ling have such a hard and cold heart, if he was also cowardly, I was afraid that Xiao Ling would not be soft on himself, thinking of this, Ah Yun said some other things and left,
Zhou Ling looked at Ah Yun's back, and sighed secretly in her heart, if she could, she wouldn't want to treat the people around her like this, but after leaving the smiling tiger, Zhou Ling thought more that in the past, she always pressed everything about the people around her on herself, but she forgot that everyone has their own way to go, and no one can replace them, including those dangers and injuries, roses that have not experienced wind and rain can't bloom beautiful and strong flowers, just like she knows that keeping that little lotus will hurt Zhiyuan and Ah Yun, But she will never stop it, some people make mistakes, and they must be borne by themselves to understand and transform.
After a few days, Xiaolian thought that Zhiyuan would come to see her, but who expected that Zhiyuan would never appear in front of her again after that day, she went to find Zhiyuan a few times, although Zhiyuan was also gentle to her, but the attitude between the words was very resolute, he only regarded her as a sister, and he couldn't find a chance to drug Zhiyuan, which made Xiaolian angry and helpless.
And now the environment where she lives is too poor, and it can't be compared with the previous Zhiyuan, all the bungalows, living in ordinary people, not to mention, even she has to get up early every day to go to work, sewing clothes and sheets with a group of women, etc., you must know that she is the daughter of Li Hu, the boss of the Yefeng base, even if the Yefeng is not as good as Xiliang. But she doesn't have to work, and now she eats all the same vegetarian dishes and steamed buns in the morning and evening, and she feels tired of eating it for a few days. When she asked the supervisor for advice, she didn't expect that the female supervisor thirty miles away was not polite to her, but said disdainfully:
"If it weren't for Lord Zhiyuan asking me to take care of you, do you think you would still be able to eat these? You look at everyone's food, and then look at your own, you can't do your job well, and you still pick and choose. I really think I'm a daughter. ”
There is another reason why the female supervisor does not like Xiaolian, as soon as this fox comes, the husbands of these female workers under her can run here three or four times a day. Several female workers have complained to her, even their own men, and they also say that they are looking at themselves, bah. A cat that bites when it smells fishy. Turning a blind eye to her at home, he just ran here to see himself, and the liars didn't believe it.
So the female supervisor looked at Xiaolian even more unpleasantly, but what made Xiaolian even more ashamed and angry was that
The people who lived around her pointed fingers at her, and every time she went out, some women whispered there:
"Look, isn't this the one who claims to be the girlfriend of Lord Zhiyuan?"
"Lord Zhiyuan and Lord Ayun are a couple. What is this little fox, and now he has been kicked out. ”
Even when she was working. The people in front and behind were also staring at her with strange eyes, and Xiaolian swore angrily in her heart, wait, she would definitely make these people pay.
The opportunity came soon, Xiaolian found that after she came, several young men came to her place of work when she was fine, Xiaolian didn't understand anything, on the contrary, these men ostensibly revolved around her wife, but the eyes always secretly aimed at her, she was not a peaceful person, Xiaolian also pretended to be pitiful and weak in front of people, and those who were fascinated were even more fascinated, but what Xiaolian thought in her heart was that after these men had bad actions towards herself, she didn't believe that Zhiyuan could still sit idly by.
On this day, Zhiyuan just walked to a secluded place, and suddenly heard a woman's scream, he hurriedly followed the sound, but he didn't expect to be hit by a woman in his arms, he fixed his eyes and saw that it was Xiaolian, only to see Xiaolian in tears, disheveled, looking at Zhiyuan, Xiaolian immediately grabbed his sleeve and choked:
"Brother Zhiyuan, I don't want to live anymore, those people bullied me, and they secretly ran to the place where I lived just now and didn't leave, woo."
And Zhiyuan immediately became angry when he heard it, and the men who were teasing Xiaolian ran away without looking back when they saw Zhiyuan, but their hearts were very angry, didn't this woman call them here, how did they get like this, but these people are not stupid, the Zhiyuan in front of them is notoriously pitiful and cherished, a crying beautiful woman and a few of them who are roe deer rats, with their toes to know who this Zhiyuan will believe.
However, when they ran, Zhiyuan believed that Xiaolian was really wronged, and Xiaolian was proud in her heart, but she trembled more and more on the surface.
"Brother Zhiyuan, I don't want to go back now, can I go to your place first."
And Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment and nodded, now like this, he is not worried about Xiaolian alone, Zhiyuan sighed, now he can only let Xiaolian go to him first, and Xiaolian who followed him, a trace of pride flashed in her drooping eyes.
Early the next morning, Zhiyuan woke up in a headache, habitually touched the coat next to him and prepared to put it on, but unexpectedly touched a soft thing, Zhiyuan looked at it, and was so frightened that he immediately rolled off the bed, and slowly sat up on the bed A half-naked woman, the woman's face still has residual tears, and there are ambiguous red marks on the exposed shoulders, it turned out to be Xiaolian, Zhiyuan was stunned, and looked at the scattered clothes on the ground in disbelief, there are him, and Xiaolian's, and at this moment Xiaolian said slightly shyly:
"Brother Zhiyuan, I have become your person last night, and you are responsible for me."
And when Zhiyuan heard this, his heart suddenly sank, sinking to a place where he would never see the light, "How can this be." ”
Zhiyuan's voice carried a hint of despair, he suddenly understood at this moment that he was calculated by Xiaolian, Zhiyuan didn't say anything, picked up the clothes on the ground and staggered out of the door, and Xiaolian looked at Zhiyuan's figure, the corners of her mouth crossed a trace of smugness, and then slowly put on her clothes, she was not worried that Zhiyuan would not admit it, his character had already been clearly figured out, in the dim room, Xiaolian's face became weird and vicious:
"Hmph, I see what that ugly bastard is fighting with me."
Zhiyuan, who escaped, stumbled to his office, and hit many people on the way, but Zhiyuan seemed to have no soul, and kept thinking about last night's events in his mind, he took Xiaolian home, and then, Xiaolian poured himself a glass of water, and then, he hugged his head fiercely, because he remembered how shameless he was last night, how disgraceful he was to do that kind of thing with Xiaolian, Ah Yun, by the way, Ah Yun, Zhiyuan thought of Ah Yun, and suddenly panicked in his heart, at this moment, Suddenly a person's voice came from behind him, and this voice was exactly what he was most afraid of hearing now.
"Zhiyuan, why are you here?"
It was Ah Yun, Zhiyuan turned his head with difficulty, and saw that Ah Yun was looking at him strangely, and Zhou Ling was also there, before Zhiyuan could speak, a cold and slippery arm suddenly stretched out behind him and grabbed him, Xiaolian didn't know when he had already followed, and said slightly provocatively:
"Zhiyuan was too tired last night, so I got up this morning to blow the wind, Sister Ayun, why is your face so bad."
Ah Yun secretly felt bad from the moment Xiaolian appeared, seeing the two of them acting like this, and the trace of strangeness revealed from Xiaolian's words, she seemed to suddenly understand something, and Xiaolian then said:
"Sister Ayun, Zhiyuan said that he was responsible for me, you have to give me a witness."
Zhiyuan couldn't face Ah Yun at this moment, he didn't even dare to look at Ah Yun's eyes, Xiaolian's voice sounded so terrifying now, and Ah Yun was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice:
"I see."
Unexpectedly, Xiaolian did not give up, and then said sarcastically:
"Sister Ayun, don't be too sad, it doesn't matter if you're beautiful or not, anyway, there are a lot of men here."
As soon as Xiaolian's words fell, she saw a red figure suddenly flash in front of her, and then, Xiaolian only felt a hot pain in her mouth, she covered her mouth, but found that her hands were full of blood, and Zhou Ling said without the slightest warmth:
"If you can't speak, you never have to."
Xiaolian wanted to scold Zhou Ling very much, but she didn't expect that she couldn't make a sound, as soon as she opened her mouth, a small piece of meat fell out, it was her tongue, and the horror instantly filled her heart, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back, Ah Yun and Zhiyuan didn't expect Zhou Ling to suddenly make a move, and Zhou Ling stared at Xiaolian tightly, and said in an extremely indifferent voice:
"I kind of regret keeping you." (To be continued.) )
