Chapter 4: The Devil and the Angel's Choice

"It's out of our mandate, you know we're not in a loss-making business. This can be cost-effective. Wei Kai reminded me, although I could hear it in my tone, I didn't put the words of the boss and Jing in my heart.

"Friends shouldn't be measured by money. Su Baijia is not a commission, it can be regarded as a love help. "I curled up in my seat.

"But there is a chance that your judgment will be influenced by your emotions." Wei Kai went on to warn, "It's unfair. Didn't the boss say, don't let your feelings sway your judgment. ”

"That's why the boss asked the two of us to supervise each other. You will act impulsively because of the knots of the past, and I will go my own way because of the relationship between the client and me. The two of us cooperate, there are only two possibilities to get worse or better, if it gets worse, Zheng Min and Jin Hao will help us deal with it; If it gets better, it means that we have gone through the hurdle in our hearts that we always think we can't get over, which is very beneficial to future tasks. That little non-mainstream is right, we need to accept reality and learn to grow up. Everyone has grown up, and the two of us can't be left behind. I put my fist in front of Wei Kai, "Happy cooperation." ”

"It's a pleasure to work with." Wei Kai and I bumped fists, "Fasten your seatbelts." ”

I obediently adjusted my sitting posture and fastened my seat belt, Wei Kai took the tin cardboard in front of the windshield and lit the fire again: "Where to go next?" ”

"North District, I have a friend in the Being District, if he still remembers me, he should be able to give us some help." I looked at Wei Kai and said.

"Your friend? Amnesia when I met him. Wei Kai tilted his head and asked me, and then he probably felt that this question was too abrupt, for fear of causing me to misunderstand, and immediately explained to me, "I mean we know him?" ”

I smiled, "You don't know each other, but you didn't know each other when I had amnesia." It's a friend of my high school classmates. ”

"Your high school classmates?" Wei Kai glanced at me, "Who?" ”

"Jo Mai. Do you recognize? "Wei Kai was two years older than me, but at that time we didn't know each other well except for living together, and I don't know if he knew my classmates.

"He? The two of you had a mediocre relationship in high school, but after graduation, you became good friends? When he heard me say Qiao Mai, he showed a surprised expression.

"You know him?" I was a little surprised that Wei Kai remembered my high school alumni, and buckwheat was the least talked about one.

"You were a physics bully before your first year of high school, and you were always copying his homework at that time. Once, when you copied your homework, you even copied people's names, and that afternoon, your homeroom teacher talked to the boss for more than an hour. Do you think I'll forget him? "I didn't talk about my troubles when I was a dog in high school, "Also, you haven't answered my question, how did you two meet again?" He also introduced his good friend to you? I remember that you and Ban Que had already started to take on tasks at that time, and his good friend was your client? ”

I shook my head, and when I was reminded of the troubles of the past, I no longer had the embarrassment of that time, but I thought it was really super funny, and I laughed for a while before explaining, "No." Aren't I going to volunteer when I go to college? I went to the library to help tidy up, which was kind of volunteer time, and at that time, Sowba's grandmother was the librarian of our school, and when there were not enough people, he would go over with his friends to help out, and then I gradually got acquainted with it. But then he broke up with his friend, and his friend asked me for help to try to save their relationship. The two of us thought of a lot of ideas, and in the end, although none of them had any practical effect, the two of us established a revolutionary friendship. But we haven't been in touch since that incident, and I don't know if he remembers me. "The thing I'm talking about is the pre-graduation bombing.

Wei Kai thought for a while, and patted his head as if he suddenly remembered: "I remember that girl, she came to see you when you were in the hospital, but at that time you saw that everyone was at a loss, and the girl also said that if you reply to the memory, let us inform her, he left us his contact information, but she said that he should never change his phone number, she said that you can find her when you remember." I was busy the other day, and I forgot about it. ”

"Just came to surprise him personally." I squinted and smiled, it feels really good that someone has been waiting for you to wake up.

"Are you sure she's still living there?" Wei Kai threw another question. I laughed and didn't say anything.

In order to pass the boring time, Wei Kai and I talked about what we had heard over the years.

"Is it cold?" Wei Kai asked me, and tested the temperature with his hand on the air vent of the air conditioner in the car.

I shook my head: "It's not cold." Heating was adequate. ”

"When we were filming in the U.S., it was super cold to live in." Wei Kai complained to me as if he remembered something, "One night the air conditioner went on strike. ”

"Huh? Is there no heating where you live? "In my memory, the filming time of that drama seems to be around this time, if there is no heating and air conditioning, it will be a really difficult night.

"The cheapest motel to rent, the duvet cover was old and there was a noticeable stain on it. I lived in the same room with the guy from the crew. The starting conditions are not very good, but if your roommate is good, it can be a fun experience. Wei Kai said everything very easily, "Especially since you have gained a lot of knowledge from him." Maybe I didn't find anyone to talk to for many years, so when I wasn't too busy, especially at night when the air conditioner was broken, he told me a lot about her brother. ”

"What's the matter? How did he and his brother live as children? ”

Wei Kai smashed his mouth, as if he didn't know how to answer me, and finally he said, "Sort of." He said somewhat, but that night he talked the most about drugs. He told me that there are nearly 2,707,000 long-term doping users in the United States and 33,035,000 occasional doping users. The most frightening thing is that 14.4% of people over the age of 12 have experienced stimulant use. This is a frightening figure, as drug offenders far outnumber other types of crime among prisoners in prisons and detention centres. ”

I panicked when I heard these numbers, I never thought that there were so many people in this world who would dilute such a horrible thing and consume their own lives. I lowered my eyes and said, "I hate the first person who invented drugs." ”

Wei Kai patted me on the top of my head at this time: "Don't hate them, these drugs were not made for these purposes in the first place. Originally, they were also widely used in the field of medicine for saving lives, and they are still used now. ”

I raised my head curiously and looked at Wei Kai: "I don't know, I just know that drugs are very bad things." ”

"Drugs are very bad things." Wei Kai nodded heavily, his expression was very serious, "It's very bad, it will ruin a person's life, and sometimes it will even make addicts ruin the lives of many innocent people and destroy their families, remember when I told you how many people died because of drugs?" ”

I nodded: "So I hate them, but you don't let me have such emotions." ”

Wei Kai shook his head: "It's not that I don't let you have such emotions, but I think you're very wrong." Don't hate those who were the first to discover their efficacy. A lot of things didn't get out of control in the first place, they were invented to help people in the first place. ”

"Helping people?" I was even more puzzled.

"That's right." Wei Kai replied, "Many drugs have been more widely and positively used in medicine, such as Demerol, which is a good medicine for patients to relieve pain after surgery. There are also pre-operative anesthetics, which are applied to relieve the patient's pain. In addition, in order to alleviate the pain of cancer patients, the morphine injected for them, if used by greedy and ill-intentioned people, will cause gray matter to cause a lot of trouble to everyone and cause violent disputes. Also, ******, did you know that many cough syrups contain small amounts of ******? ”

When I heard the cough syrup, I was shocked, why does this medicine that cures human diseases contain such terrible things? Don't the people who make cough syrup know that the ingredients in it are dangerous?

Wei Kai saw my reaction with his peripheral vision and threw me a look of understanding: "The first time I heard about this, it was exactly the same reaction as yours. But you know what? That's what I'm trying to tell you, it's not the food itself that is really hateful, it's those who have ulterior motives to take advantage of the properties of this food. It is normal for people to have a strong disgust reaction at the mention of the anesthesia machine, because everyone has seen so many tragedies caused by it, and they have also seen its connection with crime. But in fact, it is not narcotics that people hate, but those derivatives that are pharmacologically related to opium or poppy products, that is, drugs in the true sense of the word. These products are the beginning of the disaster. In fact, it is people's greed and desire that will itself be just a derivative of the illegal address of drugs with narcotic and sedative effects that endanger people's physical and mental health. ”

"You mean to say that the sacred and abominable are the people who distort these pharmacological reactions?" I pondered the meaning of Wei Kai's words.

Wei Kai nodded: "Yes." If you think about it, if the existence of these things in itself is of little use to humans, then why don't people want to get rid of them like weeds? Just like the same knife, when you use it correctly, it will assist you in making delicious food, but if you use it wrongly, it can be a murder weapon. The same goes for medicines, when they are used as an adjunct to medical treatment, they will help you prolong your life, help you to undergo life-saving surgeries without pain, but when you mistakenly use these drugs to satisfy your selfish desires, they will become a tool to kill you. So I hate those who make drugs, sell drugs, and use drugs, but I don't hate the doctors who use them to save people's lives. I'd be a jerk who takes drugs for thrill-seeking, but I'd approve of painkillers for those who can't stand pain because of cancer, etc. For those who do not value their lives, these medicines have become demons that damage their lives, but for those who are sick, these medicines can help them get through the difficulties. ”

After a pause, Wei Kai continued: "That boy, after telling me this, he said that he loved his brother because his brother was a very important relative in his life, and he recalled in tears every day those days when he was with his brother and depended on each other; But he also hated his brother very much, because of the so-called stimulation, he wasted his life with only one chance, and at the same time took away many lives as young and fresh as him, and it was because of drug abuse that they died early. He could not find a reason to forgive his brother for indulging his life. He even said that his brother's behavior was not called indulgence, but crime, and that he had never forgiven his brother, although he was thinking about him all the time, and she later gave birth to a son, whose name was in his brother's name, and he hoped that his son would cherish his life. ”

I agree with the boy: "He deserves sympathy, but his brother is not, this kind of harm is his brother's own choice, his brother is responsible for his actions, and his brother has paid the price." ”

"But at first, he thought the same as you, and even he refused to take any painkillers to relieve pain at one point, and refused to drink all cough syrup," Wei Kai glanced at me. "It wasn't until his grandfather was diagnosed with liver cancer that he changed his mind."

"Is it because of his grandfather's final treatment?" I asked Wei Kai.

Wei Kai nodded: "That's right, when he saw his grandfather moaning in the hospital bed all day because of pain, and when the doctor injected his grandfather with morphine to relieve his grandfather's pain, he realized that everything has its two sides." If you use them according to the legal process and use their characteristics to do good deeds, then he will bring you good results and will use his characteristics to help people; But if you distort its properties to help you fulfill desires, he is a very dangerous thing. Everything is the same, so he slowly came to terms with the fact that his brother was completely wrong, and irreparable. Implying that it no longer hates these drugs, he is a tool in the first place, and how to use it is entirely up to you. ”

"But his brother made the wrong choice and was completely unworthy of the price of sympathy." I looked out the window and found myself expressionless.

"That's right." Wei Kai nodded

"What happened to his grandfather?" I asked Wei Kai.

Wei Kai said with some regret: "At the end of the period, Gao Ming's art has been powerless, but he has been accompanying his grandfather to the end, and their grandparents and grandchildren have talked for a long time about his brother's affairs, until the day his grandfather goes to heaven. In his final days, her grandfather taught him many things, including how to look at everything and how to accept the misfortunes he had suffered and were likely to suffer in the future. Learn to look at them calmly and turn that pain into strength to help those who are also suffering, which his grandfather said he had the potential for. ”

"It turns out that her grandfather was right." I remembered Wei Kai saying that he eventually became a volunteer at the aid station and helped many people, "He was very strong, digested all the pain, became an angel for many people, and brought happiness to many people." ”

It was only at this time that Wei Kai laughed: "That's right, when I met him again many years later, he lived really well, I mean his spiritual world is very rich, and the whole person is also optimistic and strong, which makes me feel that the best way for a person to prove that she is very good, with someone to accompany her, she can laugh without scruples, is the best way to prove her happiness." He told me that he always firmly believes that if he does not run away, but faces it bravely, everything will be fine, so she emphasized to me countless times that she should not think of the temporary pain in her heart, but choose to escape, and even numb yourself, face it strongly, and you will always see good results. ”

"He knows you've lost a loved one?"

Wei Kai shrugged his shoulders; "I haven't told him, but maybe it was that cold winter night, the atmosphere between us was too sad, so she could feel the same sad aura on my body as him, just like like things gather and people in groups, the two unlucky people may have felt the aura on each other's bodies, and they both knew that they were at the lowest point in their lives at that time, so they would encourage each other on that cold and bleak winter night, knowing that the other party would definitely survive and live well. But who knows? ”

An hour later, Wei Kai followed the address I said to a street full of European style, we got out of the car and came to the front of a two-story building, and after opening the door was a small staircase, one end leading to the underground and the other end to the café on the second floor. "Go up." I pointed to the top and pulled Wei Kai up to the second floor.

"Is your boss here today?" I asked, and the waiter who came to greet us said.

The waiter looked at us and was stunned for a moment: "You made an appointment with the boss in advance?" ”

Hearing the waiter say this, she was really in the store today, and I smiled politely at the waiter: "You told her that an old friend of hiss came to visit her, which is considered to fulfill the agreement with her back then." ”

Before the waiter could reply, a woman's voice slowly came from far and near: "Didn't you recover your memory a long time ago, and you remembered to come to see me when you asked me today?" Although his tone was mean, he still heard the smile in his words.

I looked in the direction the voice came from: "He didn't tell me. "I put the blame on Wei Kai, I know that she is really not angry with me, just a small vent of dissatisfaction.

Wei Kai reluctantly turned his face to the side, saying that he had nothing to do with him at all. I walked over and gave the girl who was glaring at me a hug: "I think of you." ”

The girl on the other side was a little embarrassed, and finally didn't hide her smile after pulling me away: "Say, what do you want me to help?" I promised you a chance to do divination for free. ”

"Divination?" Wei Kai gasped when he heard the word, and then whispered in my ear, "Do you think this can help us?" Are you kidding? ”

I patted Wei Kai on the back to make him relax: "Ah Lian is the female owner of this divination café, of course we came to find her to help us find the answer through her." She was right. ”

Wei Kai's expression looked even more incredible

The female boss opposite didn't get angry when she heard him say this, but just raised her eyebrows on one side and asked him a little teasingly: "Do you think divination is unscientific?" ”

Wei Kai didn't speak, turned his head to me and said, "Xiaozhi." I went back to the car. ”

Before I could speak, the female boss said: "You were scolded by your friend yesterday, and you were scolded very badly, and the commission you received in your hand was not willing to give it to you at first, thinking that it was designed to a friend of Xiaozhi, and I was afraid that Xiaozhi would delay the commission because of emotional reasons, but because of the catastrophe you created in the last commission, it caused losses, and had to give you the opportunity to make up for it, but unfortunately the living environment of the person you are looking for now reminds you of your experience when you were young, You've been stuck in the same fear as a child, so you're in a panicked mood right now, and you're denying me because you don't have the confidence to solve this commission. You're looking for all sorts of excuses to deny yourself. Am I right about you so far? ”

Wei Kai was stunned by what he said, then turned to look at her dumbfounded, nodded unconsciously, realizing his gaffe, Wei Kai immediately adjusted his expression and turned his head to the other side, no longer looking at us, but no longer obsessed with leaving as soon as possible.

The little beauty smiled at us proudly: "Divination is folk wisdom, but also folk science, it is a summary and induction of people's past experience, it is a very mysterious but well-founded thing, he has made judgments by pestering people with so many facial expressions, and body language, and other similar to dress, tone, behavioral characteristics, and his own past experience, just like your reasoning." Don't forget that what you see about the universe today is even the wisdom of ancient astrology. So, do you want to listen to my advice? She pointed upstairs and said, "The attic above is my office, go up and talk slowly." ”

Wei Kai glanced at me, although his expression was a little reluctant to ask for my opinion, but I knew that he was shaken, I smiled "Okay", and then walked to Wei Kai's side, and pulled him and Ah Lian to go upstairs together. (To be continued.) )
