Chapter 179: Questioning Hodge
The sound of the courtyard door opening came, and then Hodge and Zi Yan heard a burst of heavy footsteps.
"My dad they're back. Zi Yan said to Hodge, turned her head outside the house and asked, "Dad, how is it?"
At this time, the door was opened, and a white-haired old man walked in first, followed by more than a dozen middle-aged men, and Uncle Zi was among them.
"Village Chief!" Zi Yan greeted, and an inexplicable feeling welled up in her heart.
Hodge sat up, staring at these people in front of him vigilantly, he turned his hand behind his back, one hand on the storage ring, ready to draw out the Heavenly Evil Thorn at any time to fight, because he already felt it, some of these people were menacing and had a bad face, although he didn't know what was going on, but it was better to be vigilant.
"Hodge, how are you doing?" the village chief asked kindly, sitting down.
"Yesterday I was attacked and my injuries were a little worse, and I took the pill last night and now I have recovered a bit. Hodge said he didn't know what medicine was being sold in the village chief's gourd.
"Hodge, I'm going to ask you something, you have to be honest, we won't blame you for saying anything, after all, you're still young, and we understand that you're afraid to lie about some things. The village chief said slowly.
"What's going on, village chief, dad, what's going on?" Zi Yan asked with a frown.
"Yan'er, it's none of your business now, don't talk and let the village chief finish asking. A big man walked out and said impatiently, his eyes full of disgust when he looked at Hodge.
Seeing this, although Zi Yan was a little angry, she couldn't come out on the spot, after all, all the people present were elders, so she could only look at the village chief and listen to what the village chief wanted to ask.
"Village chief, you say, I will answer truthfully if you ask me, and there will be absolutely no concealment. Hodge looked at the village chief and said, he breathed a sigh of relief at this time, he knew that these people had suddenly broken into the house but did not move, this was to have some suspicions about him and wanted to ask.
Since he can be reasonable, then Hodge answered their questions truthfully, and he was not afraid of crooked words, and he could just say anything.
It's best to be reasonable, because if the other party starts to do it, then he will inevitably fight back, so that everything the other party suspects will sit on his head, and he will be wronged for no reason, besides, there are so many people here, and now he has no cultivation at all, even if he has the Heavenly Evil Thorn in his hand, he has no chance of winning.
"You've been a killer in Poppy Lotus before, haven't you?" asked the village chief.
"Yes, I was forced to be taken by them. Hodge replied.
"Your status in Poppy is important?" the village chief asked again.
"It's very important, and it can be said that once you know my specific location, then Poppy Lotus will definitely stop at nothing to arrest me. Hodge replied, vaguely understanding what the village chief was trying to ask.
"In that case, then Hodge, you tell me honestly, was the monster last night sent by Poppy Lotus to arrest you?" the village chief spoke slowly, and then quickly added: "I hope you don't hide it, even if that's the case, we won't embarrass you, but we will send you out of the village, because no one in the village has cultivated, we can't afford to provoke Poppy Lotus, I hope you can understand." ”
Hearing this, Hodge smiled dumbly, raised his head and said: "Village Chief, you are too worried, Yi Poppy Lotus does not dare to send people to search for me in the Ten Thousand Evil Canyon, although they are powerful, they will definitely not be able to offend all the dark forces in the Ten Thousand Evil Canyon at the same time, and the second is that even if the Poppy Lotus knows that I am here, then it is absolutely impossible to shoot a one-star monster to arrest me." ”
Hodge paused, and said with some arrogance: "With my identity, if Poppy Lotus knows my specific location, then he will send a strong person who cultivates the fifth and sixth steps or even higher to arrest me, and once he sees me in person, he will definitely be arrested on the spot, and your village will also suffer a devastating attack last night, and no one will survive." ”
After Hodge finished speaking, he smiled and looked at the village chief and the others, the village chief's words confirmed his thoughts, and he had already taken it into account when the village chief asked him the first question.
And Hodge didn't say this to show off, this was one of his eyes, the purpose of saying this was to deter the villagers, to be honest, these villagers had never seen the world of cultivators, and it was not too much to say that it was a frog at the bottom of the well, and he didn't understand some cultivators' things at all, and he might imagine that some things would be taken true and buckled on his head, so he had a hard time arguing, and he couldn't explain it if he didn't cultivate now.
Therefore, after Hodge said this, the villagers would definitely weigh it carefully, even if he was kicked out of the village in the end, he would be able to save his life, and if he didn't say so, there might be a small chance that the villagers would kill him.
His life is so important, how can he die unjustly in this small village for no reason? So he can only say this, but at the same time, he has a backbone for the villagers, and the poppy lotus does not dare to search in the Ten Thousand Evil Canyon, can they find a hidden village like you?
After listening to Hodge's explanation, the village chief fell silent, although he did not contact the outside world, but he had already read countless people after being the village chief for half his life, and he could also see that Hodge was not lying.
"What did you encounter when you went to the lake?" Hodge asked when he saw that the village chief was silent.
"We didn't encounter anything, we searched in the lake for a long time and didn't find the monster corpse you mentioned, but the Zi Yan family's boat did capsize, and the only gain was to salvage the Zi Yan family's boat. The village chief said.
"I don't know why this happened, but I can assure you that I didn't bring that monster in. Hodge said to everyone.
"It's like, we really had a monster attack yesterday, it's true. Zi Yan said anxiously, she could see that the village chief and the others had not seen the corpse of the monster, but they suspected Hodge, thinking that she and Hodge were chased by Poppy Lotus's people, and after escaping, they lied together to deceive them.
"Village chief, forget it, this kid Hodge has lived in our house for so long, I know him very well, this kid will never lie and lie to us, after all, he confessed his previous things at the beginning, if he had a purpose, it would never be possible to say so much, this kid didn't want to hide it from us in the first place. Uncle Purple also stood up to defend Hodge, at this time Uncle Purple was full of helplessness, he explained to Hodge when he was on the way, but unfortunately the village chief was still a little suspicious.
......
I don't know how to persevere, I want to send my book to the Internet for monetization, but I know that my book will sink soon if it is sent to those novel websites, because now the novels on the Internet are at least hundreds of thousands of words, millions of words of novels abound, I wrote this book to write a series of physical books that I have worked hard to create, not not to pay attention to the quality of online novels that are updated with 6,000 words every day, so I can't choose a novel website, I chose the WeChat public account, because I know how to operate WeChat, I understand content creation, public account operation.
I've written so many words, I won't talk about it here, let's talk about it in general, I divided it into another month, I feel that this month according to my plan, I can reach 10,000 followers, and then I can go to the publishing house to talk about publishing books, I can stop working for the time being, and work hard to be my own network, I am confident that I can write 6,000 words a day to write another novel in a few months, and after the novel is put on the shelves, I can get four months of newcomer creation guarantee, and then I focus on content creation.
Then I went to Tieba to drain traffic, but I found that Tieba has a lot of restrictions on posting on Tieba accounts, and I opened a super membership at that time. Advertise with a small tail, but because of many reasons for system restrictions, my fans have not accumulated, I was very stressed for a while, because I stopped doing it in the advertising company, on May 26, I entered a new job, the production of insulating glass, this job is not simple, there is only one fan in the workshop, every day just arrived there on the hot sweat, a day of work, wet with sweat several times, back home tired to fall apart, tired, I procrastinated, that period of pressure is great, every night at twelve o'clock to sleep, always sleepy when the execution, lie down to sleep but can't sleep, I feel the pressure I can't breathe, turn on the light, smoke a cigarette or twoI understand that an article I read before said that one of his friends was the boss, and that he used a kitchen knife to cut things at night to release stress when he was stressed, and I understood this feeling.
In the last month or so, I didn't attract people, and a lot of posts were deleted, and in the end, I didn't have the mentality to fight against the system anymore, so I gave up the project.
Over the years, I have been numb to successive failures, so that my ability to resist frustration has improved too much, the failure of several recent projects, I sometimes think, should I follow the development of the plot, to cry, but I found that I can't cry, even if a project fails, in my heart can not make too big waves, adhere to the Internet entrepreneurship heart is not as crazy as when I first started to learn hacking, but more calm, no matter how I will stick to the entrepreneurship, I always firmly believe: I will not die, I will eventually come out!
People need to take risks constantly in this life, and in the past month, I have been working hard to run my WeChat public account: Peter Shenhu. I thought about it, I was too anxious before, I want to settle down and do a project for a long time this time, I think, since I can write, and I can operate a WeChat public account, I should do content entrepreneurship, this field is also suitable for me, I have chosen my own suitable field, to work hard in the field of content entrepreneurship, I must persevere.
I know that for so many years, I have been very anxious, always trying to make a lot of money quickly and get rid of the current state of life, but for so many years, I have lived a very unsatisfactory life, I have not made any money I want to make, young people are always impetuous, I think, like me, I dropped out of school and worked to change ten jobs a year, not much, I can no longer change jobs, in the search for a job must think carefully about whether I can do this job.
I saw such a sentence on the Internet: They are all people with stories. I think that if you talk about stories, my stories are wonderful and skinny. This life has really been full of twists and turns. However, I didn't succeed, if I succeeded, this is my legendary story, I don't succeed now, no matter how wonderful the story is, I am still a dick. Over the years, there have been too many insights into entrepreneurship.
In the past six months, I have missed her a lot, time has played a role, although I still think of her every day, but it is not as sad as the previous two years, it has passed, she is a passerby in my life after all, and I can't leave anything in her life. I just want to start a business now and change the fate of my family.
I have dropped out of school for a year, except for my parents, almost everyone thinks that I will not make money, I can clearly see the opinions of my relatives, some relatives persuaded my parents to let me go to the army, they think that being a soldier is a good way out, when the soldiers come back for a few years, they will arrange a job, and the treatment is also very good, but the swallow bird knows the ambition of the bird, but I am not qualified to say this sentence to my relatives. I want to marry a beautiful girl, I want to live a life where I don't worry about money anymore, I want to realize my personal value, so many years of Internet entrepreneurship, watching so many people get rich through the Internet, I have long been brainwashed, how can I feel at ease and mediocre?
My parents are honest and have a bad relationship, they have suffered a lot over the years, and I know that the people and relatives in the village will not look down on my family, let alone a toad like me who wants to eat swan meat. I have to be self-reliant, I don't want my parents to be looked down upon for the rest of my life, and I don't want my next generation to be looked down upon like me. Mr. Zhang, I hope you will help me keep this paragraph confidential, I am afraid that after the interview, someone in our village will see my article on your official account.
Since dropping out of school for a year, my mind has changed a lot, it is really not easy for me to succeed, and life is really too difficult. In this world, there are too many unsatisfactory things, in recent months, every night when I can't sleep under pressure, I will turn on the light and smoke a cigarette or two, thinking about my own years of difficulty, life has to go on, just let the pressure disappear with the cigarette.
When I work, I like to listen to songs while working, I like to listen to Lin Zixiang's "Men should be self-reliant", I am very excited to listen to it, men, should stand up to the sky, I built a song list, called the rain of the past, the songs on it are all the songs I liked to listen to when I loved her the deepest, whenever I heard these songs, I will think of her, think of the days when I fought for her, I like to recall the bits and pieces with her, even if the more I recall, the more painful.
