Chapter 3 Conduct Yourself in the World (Again and Again, Two in One)
Walking through the alleys, led by Buzz and Aina, Wood came to the so-called slums.
It's just a street away, but it's the opposite of a bustling commercial street, and even if you just enter the slum, you can feel a depressing atmosphere.
The silent path, as if there was no biological breath, even if it ...... It's the same with the sight of people walking around in the haphazard houses along the streets, for these people are like living dead people, and everyone has a dead look in their eyes.
At the end of the slums, the tall and thick walls can be clearly seen, proving that this is the most remote place in the entire royal capital.
It is precisely because of the backdrop to the city wall that the air here reveals a musty smell, which is sheltered by the city wall...... The amount of time the sun shines on here is extremely limited.
"It's too late to regret it now."
Buzz looked at Wood's scrutinizing gaze and sneered, "You've probably never been to the slums, this is not a good place for you, if you can't stand it, just leave, we can save some food." β
Aina also seemed to hesitate, and a sad look appeared on her little face.
"Little ghost, it's a miracle that your mouth hasn't been beaten to death until now."
Wood looked at the dilapidated street in front of him and shook his head: "I'm not in a daze, I don't think it's in tatters, it's ...... It's a lot like where I've lived for a while, with its dilapidated houses, its towering walls, and this vibe. β
"Huh?"
Buzz was stunned for a moment, looked at Wood blankly for a while, a touch of complexity flashed in his eyes, and then he pouted: "Then hurry up and leave, it's really troublesome to cook an extra meal when you go back." β
With that, he ignored Wood and headed into the depths of the slums.
Aina smiled at Wood, pulling Wood's sleeve and following behind Buzz.
Although the houses here were built very haphazardly, there were also small paths, and after turning around, the two children took Wood to a small courtyard blocked by branches.
The courtyard is not large, and there is a path in the yard that leads to the house, and on both sides of the path are planted with agricultural products, judging by the wilted leaves...... These two imps shouldn't have much experience in farming.
Crossing the path, there was a large stone in front of the house, and next to the big stone were a few small stones, which should be two small dining tables.
Seeing this, Wood couldn't help but sigh.
However, then he shook his head, there are poor people everywhere in the world, just be pitiful, he is not so kind, and he does not have the ability to see one to help another.
Aina pulled Wood over to the stone table, smiled and patted the small flat stone on the side, and motioned for Wood to sit here.
Wood nodded, and didn't refuse.
Aina pointed to herself, and then to the stove in the corner of the courtyard.
"Wait." Wood stopped Aina and said.
Aina turned her head a little puzzled, but saw Wood handing over the vegetables she was carrying all the way, and said with a smile: "These dishes are my favorite dishes, since I want to cook, please ask the little chef to help me process these." β
ββ¦β¦β
Aina was stunned for a moment, Buzz, who walked out of the room, took a deep look at Wood, hesitated and patted Aina on the shoulder: "Just do it, people are guests, if such a request can't be met, it would be too rude." β
Aina was a little hesitant when she heard this, but in the end, she didn't bother Wood, and she reluctantly ran to the side to start cooking, while Buzz followed Aina to collect firewood and make a fire.
By the time the meal was ready, it was already dusk.
The meal was probably sumptuous here, a few cakes mixed with vegetables and a small amount of flour, a bowl of vegetable soup, and a stir-fried vegetables.
Wood picked up the cake and took a bite of it from Aina's expectant gaze, then gave Aina a thumbs up, "Yes, it's delicious." β
He lied about this, the cake without oil, salt, or even much flour could only feel the bad taste of various vegetables mixed with a bite, and it could not be called delicious at all.
It's the same with soups and stir-fries.
However, seeing the appearance of the two little ones eating with relish, he was really embarrassed to say: he had already done it himself......
Wood has always been picky about food, so after smiling slightly, he took a big bite of it, making both of them a little stunned.
The three of them didn't talk at the dinner table, and after the meal, the sky was completely dark.
"Is what you said earlier true?"
Buzz turned to look at Wood as she accompanied Aina to wash the dishes.
"What?"
"That's it...... The gold ring is your entire net worth, you must be lying to me, right? β
Wood pouted, "That's the truth, when I came, I only had that gold ring worth a little money, and I got it from my friend." β
He didn't lie.,Wood went directly to the school city after picking up five hours.,How can I have time to take any gold.,That ring can be said to be the only metal on Muroto Sumire's body...... In other words, it is already amazing that this deep otaku girl can have a gold ring on her body.
ββ¦β¦β
The corners of Buzz's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Wood as strangely as he could.
Wood looked up at the sky, patted his stomach and stood up: "You brothers and sisters have a good rest, I should go too." β
Aina turned her head when she heard this, and Buzz on the side frowned: "Are you going home?" Or ......"
"Home?"
Wood smiled bitterly, there should be a shocking battle going on in his house now, and Wood really didn't have the courage to go home.
However, his appearance made Buzz and Aina misunderstand, and the two looked at each other.
Then, Aina shook her head at Buzz cryptically, signaling him not to ask.
Wood didn't notice the small movements of the two, and smiled at the two of them, "The meal was very good, thank you for your hospitality." β
"Where are you going......
Buzz's words paused, as Aina on one side tugged at him, and then gestured in front of him.
"Cut."
Buzz pursed his lips and gave Wood an angry look: "My sister said that I will come back to play when I have time in the future, but don't forget to bring the ingredients, otherwise it will ......"
Syllable!
There was a crisp sound, and Aina was very annoyed and slapped Buzz, obviously Bazz should have filled in the ingredients or something.
Seeing this, Wood smiled, and then shook his head: "Maybe I won't have a chance to come again, I will leave the royal capital tonight, and I haven't thought about where to go yet." β
Although as long as you don't come into contact with those people, nothing should happen, but it's safer to leave here just in case, who knows if you stay in the king and won't happen to get in touch with those people.
A calm and uneventful life.
Even if it's boring, that's the life Wood has always been pursuing.
"Leave the royal capital."
Buzz frowned, and a worried look appeared on Aina's face.
In the eyes of the two, Wood was only one or two years older than them, and it was extremely dangerous for a child to leave the royal capital alone.
Buzz opened his mouth and turned his head one last time: "Whatever you want, don't say I didn't remind you, there are many bandits out of the royal capital." If you still have money to spare, it's best to find a caravan and give the leader some money and let them give you a ride. β
"Thank you for the reminder."
Wood smiled slightly, said no more, and got up to leave.
However, he didn't take a few steps before he was stopped.
Turning his head, he saw that Aina was pulling the corner of his coat, and when he saw Wood, he pointed to the city wall and made a motion to wipe his neck.
Is this a reminder that it's dangerous out there?
Wood raised his hand and touched Aina's head: "Don't worry, I'll be careful, but you have to remember ...... girl" He paused for a moment and continued: "Don't be so gentle with the strangers you just met, and don't take people home casually, it's very dangerous for you little children." β
"It's like you're not a child, yes, but you're a little older than me, what's there to be arrogant about?" Buzz muttered disapprovingly.
Wood smiled and didn't refute, and a warm color flashed in his eyes when he looked at Aina: "There are not necessarily fewer bad people than good people in this world, and I am not a good person in front of you, so I can't do such stupid things in the future." β
Aina shook her head, pointed at herself, and then at Wood, presumably to show that she believed in Wood.
Then she pointed to the house behind her, put her hands together in her ears to make a sleeping position, and then made a eating position, and then looked at Wood expectantly.
ββ¦β¦β
Although Wood knows a few foreign languages, he really can't understand this kind of body language......
"My sister said ......"
Buzz paused, looked at Aina carefully, sighed when he saw the anticipation on the little face, and continued: "If you don't have a place to go, why don't you stay here, anyway, the uncle in the front yard died of illness yesterday, and everyone in the slums gave us his bed, and there is no shortage of places for you to sleep." β
"Of course! It's absolutely impossible for us to raise you, and if you live, you'll have to grow vegetables with us and sell them outside. β
The corners of Wood's mouth moved slightly, although he was not picky about the environment, but now the huge world has so many choices. He didn't want to live in this kind of ghost place with two little ghosts at all, and then eat that kind of ...... every day After eating a meal that tastes bad and doesn't care about the fullness......
It's just abusing yourself.
However......
Looking at Aina's expectant look, these words were really unspeakable to a certain extent, although if it was an adult man and woman in front of him, Wood would not hesitate to refuse.
But this girl is really naΓ―ve.
Wood smiled bitterly, what he had just said was in vain.
This innocence is like that of the cursed children who were not taught by him......
"Ahem......"
Thinking of this, Wood coughed a little embarrassedly, and swept away the guilt that had inexplicably risen in his heart.
Aina pulled Wood's sleeve again, looking at the expectation on that face, Wood couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I suddenly regret it." β
ββ¦β¦β
Aina froze.
Buzz's face on the side also turned ugly, and he said in an unkind tone: "What do you regret?" β
"If I had known that I would stay here, I would have driven those three people away instead of spending money to buy them."
Hearing this, the two were stunned, and then Aina's face showed a touch of joy, and she grabbed Wood's arm and shook it happily.
Probably because most of the sleepy body believers are related to Lori, even Wood himself doesn't know, he himself has a natural affinity for little Lori, it can be said that basically a little girl will feel that this big brother is very affinity, and it is worth their trust.
Otherwise, Aina would not have invited Wood to stay, and it can be said that a large part of the reason is due to his body called 'Sleeping God', but the direction of development has completely deviated.
"Just you?"
Buzz looked Wood's thin body up and down, and then pouted, "If you really have the ability, it would be good to go and get it back now." β
"The ...... of the current word"
Wood pouted: "It's probably too late." β
"Why?" Buzz was stunned.
"Because those three thugs are a little clever." Wood smiled, "This is evident from the fact that they resisted the temptation of the gold ring and did not follow me, but robbed you both." I think I should have misunderstood that I was the eldest young master of the nobility like you, so I was afraid of retaliation or afraid of secretly hiding the guards and gave up the idea of robbing me. β
Buzz was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to understand what Wood meant: "But what does this have to do with snatching back the ring?" β
"This is a typical psychology of small people taking advantage, if you pick up a large amount of money, and you know that the owner is someone you absolutely can't afford to mess with, and you are reluctant to return the money, what should you do at this time?"
Buzz and Aina both frowned, thoughtful.
"Don't think about it, if you don't leave this money behind, you will only choose to run, and the farther you run, the better, so as not to let people know that you picked up the money."
The corner of Wood's mouth hooked: "In the same way, in the face of such a huge amount of money, the three of them are reluctant to give up, and they think that I am a noble young master, and they are afraid that I will settle accounts with them afterwards." β
"So if you want to keep this money, you can only run as far as you can, the reason why they hesitated for so long at that time was completely thinking about whether to kill me altogether, but they were afraid that there were guards behind me, and finally made a choice with the idea of 'it's a big deal that the guards will return the gold ring when they come to the door'."
"And what if you don't leave?" Buzz Road.
"Then prove that there is someone behind him."
Wood smiled: "He felt that the people behind him could protect him, so he didn't worry about my revenge at all, and that gold ring could also be said to be a test, although I didn't care about the test results at all." β
ββ¦β¦β
Buzz and Aina thought about it for a while, and finally they couldn't help but look at Wood a little strangely.
"Let's not talk about where you got the confidence to beat three adults, I don't understand why you said that you chose to drive those three away if you stayed? And why didn't you drive them away at that time, but gave them gold rings. β
"It's easy!"
Wood looked at Aina and Buzz's puzzled eyes, and smiled smugly, sure enough, he liked the feeling of teaching the little ghosts.
"When I handed over the ring, I was going to leave the royal capital directly, although I could have beaten a few people out of the way in a moment. But after that, I pat my ass and leave, and their revenge will fall on you. β
"Then ......"
"Kill people directly?"
Wood shook his head at Buzz, "When I found them, those three men were already spying on the two of you, so it's impossible to know for sure if the three of them had previously spoken to anyone else about robbing you two."
"So it's okay to kill people, but once the news spreads, it is very likely to cause trouble, even if you put aside the big names behind them, there may not be no friendship between the gangsters, and their friends definitely don't mind taking revenge on you two imps."
Wood looked at the dumbfounded expressions of the two and couldn't help but smile: "Although the probability is very small, in order to avoid the situation where I leave and you are retaliated against, giving a gold ring at that time is undoubtedly the most correct choice, this is what adults often say 'behave in the world', if you don't cause trouble to others, you won't cause trouble to yourself." β
"So never underestimate the 'little people.'"
"Big people like to use small people to stir up conflicts; And the duration of the conflict between the little people will cause conflicts between the big people; This is called cause and effect, and if you want to live peacefully, you should try not to get involved in it as much as possible. β
The more Wood talked, the more he spoke, and finally he began to instill his own way of survival in Erxiao, completely forgetting that he had taught millions of cursed sons crookedly......
The three of them chatted and sat back down at the table, and Buzz and Aina listened to Wood with great interest.
"And I chose to stay is a different situation, although in order to avoid leaking the news, I will not kill a few people at that time, but it is still possible to get rid of those three people. If there is really a big man I can't provoke to come to the door, when the time comes, kneel down and kowtow, respectfully present the gold ring, and then promise to honor the big man every month, and the matter will naturally be solved. β
ββ¦β¦β
Buzz rolled his eyes and said in a triumphant tone was really okay with such a thing?
Aina on the side also had a strange look on her face.
"Of course, I won't leave, if there are really big people behind them who are not afraid of my revenge, they may still run to rob me in the future. When the time comes, it will be the same choice, if you have money, you will pay, and if you don't have money, you will beg for a few days. Maybe you don't believe it, but for me, it's easier to make money than to rob it, and I can't afford to get in trouble because of this little thing. β
ββ¦β¦ Blow, you blow on. β
"Hey, hey."
Wood smiled: "It's okay if you blow it to me, but you must remember that life is always more important than money, no matter how hard your life is." β
"Innocent!" Buzz snorted coldly: "If there is no money, it is not far from death." β
"At least there's hope, isn't it?"
Wood sneered: "If you die, there really is no hope." β
Bang Bang Bang ~~
Aina clapped her palms and little by little, expressing her approval.
Buzz pursed his lips when he saw this, but he didn't know how to refute Wood's fallacies.
"And it's also a private experiment."
Wood shook his head: "It can't be called an experiment, it can only be said to be avoiding some trouble that should have happened, if the three of them really leave the royal capital as I expected, then this experiment can be said to have officially begun, if it succeeds." Even if you stay in the royal capital in the future, life will be much calmer, after all, those three people are an opportunity! β
Buzz and Aina glanced at each other, both seeing doubt in each other's eyes.
However, the two didn't ask much.
Buzz recalled what happened today, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching: "So after discovering that the three of us were spying on the two of us, you thought so much in such a short period of time?" β
"Strictly speaking, these are all things that I started thinking about after I found out that the three of them didn't follow me, but chose to rob you, and my own habit is to think about all the adverse consequences first."
ββ¦β¦β
Buzz and Aina looked at Wood with more and more strange eyes.
"If you encounter a similar situation in the future, you can try to recall what I said, but there is a premise that must be confirmed......"
Wood seemed to think of something, and the corners of his mouth twitched:
"All this I am talking about is just for some clever people, if the other party is a mentally retarded with intelligence below average, then absolutely do not use this method, but directly do it, and hit me to death. Because the brain circuits of the mentally retarded cannot be guessed by normal people's thoughts, if you do so, you will only be entangled by those stinky and shameless mentally retarded. β
Looking at Wood's gritted teeth, the corners of Buzz's mouth moved slightly.
How much did he suffer from the mentally retarded? When it comes to intellectual retardation, there is such a big reaction......
