Chapter 44: Sisters and Brothers with Stories!
The girl cried very sadly, but in the process, she tried her best to suppress the sound of sobbing, as if she didn't want outsiders to hear. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tang Zhen looked at the girl's appearance of pear blossoms and rain, and sighed secretly in his heart, guessing that the girl's relatives might have suffered misfortune, otherwise she would not have this kind of painful performance of seeing things and thinking about people.
"Knock knock!"
There was a sudden knock on the door, and the girl seemed to be frightened, and her body shook slightly. She quickly stretched out her sleeve to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then carefully hid the painting under the bed.
Got up and opened the door, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy in black appeared outside the door.
"Sister, I'm back!"
The young man in black had a bright smile on his face, and his long light yellow hair and fair skin looked very handsome. There was an ordinary long sword tied to the boy's back, and perhaps because of his frequent use, the hilt of the sword was a little worn.
"I'm back Xiao Rui, the meal is ready, let's eat quickly!"
The girl smiled and moved out of the way, and the boy walked in.
After washing his hands briefly, the boy untied the long sword behind him and put it at the foot of the bed, and then sat down in front of the stone table where he was cooking.
The girl filled a large bowl of mushroom and potato soup in a wooden bowl, put it in front of the boy, and then filled herself with a small bowl.
After the black-clothed young man named Xiao Rui stirred his food with a spoon, he looked at the girl's reddish eyes, hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister, you are crying, your eyes are red and swollen, do you miss your parents again?" ”
The girl didn't seem to want to show weakness and helplessness in front of her younger brother, so she quickly shook her head and denied: "What's the matter, I just didn't sleep well on the night shift yesterday." ”
Hearing this, the young man showed a hint of struggle on his face, and was silent for a while before he said in a low tone: "Sister, you don't have to work so hard to earn brain beads, it won't take long for me to be promoted to a second-level monk, and then I can receive more subsidies, and I can also team up with my classmates to hunt monsters in the wilderness......"
As soon as the young man was halfway through his words, his sister's face changed, and she reprimanded with a hint of anger in her tone: "You don't have to worry about the family's expenses, you just need to cultivate hard." I warn you, before your cultivation breaks through to the third level, you will never be allowed to go out of the building city for half a step, otherwise don't blame me for not recognizing you as a younger brother! ”
The girl, whose expression has always been soft and weak, looks very excited at this moment, and her pretty little face has become a little crimson because of her mood swings.
The young man seemed to be afraid that his sister would be angry, but his expression was a little unwilling, and he muttered to himself: "If it weren't for that bastard's conspiracy, Mom and Dad wouldn't have died, we would still live a happy life on the upper floors of the city, sister, you don't have to work so hard......"
"Shut up!"
The girl's face showed a hint of panic, and she quickly stopped the young man's words, and then walked carefully to the door.
After listening carefully for a while, and making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he walked up to the young man with an angry face and whispered, "Whew...... I've said it a few times, you don't care about Mom's and Dad's affairs, and these words must not be said again, why are you so disobedient, do you want to be angry with your sister? ”
As the girl spoke, a mist appeared in her big eyes.
Seeing this, the young man with a calm face on the side hurriedly admitted his mistake, but looking at his expression, it seemed to be full of unwillingness!
Seeing this, the girl sighed, sat down on the bed gently, and said to the young man: "Xiao Rui, my sister knows that you are very wronged, but things are not as simple as you think. Mom and Dad are gone, and there will be no one to stand up for us, in fact, they know better than anyone else what happened, but so what?
That person is the elder of Loucheng, and we can't fight him now. If we swallow our anger, we may be able to continue living in Black Rock City, and you can continue to cultivate. But if we tear our faces, not only will we be driven out of the city, but that person will definitely not let us go.
Promise my sister that before reaching the third-level cultivation, you must not go out of the city for half a step, and you must swallow your anger at ordinary times. I know that man's grandson is in the same class as you, and he has been leading the dog's leg to bully you, but my sister begs you, don't be impulsive, okay! ”
The girl's words were earnest, and when she said these words, her thin body looked very helpless.
Xiao Rui listened to his sister's words, clenched his fists tightly, and those humiliations and unwillingness flashed in front of him, but finally turned into a long sigh.
"Okay, I'll just promise you"
The girl burst into tears when she heard this, and a bright smile appeared on her face again.
After slowly walking in front of the young man, he filled the young man with another spoonful of food, and said with a smile: "I heard that the snake meat of the blood viper can help improve the effect of cultivation, and after a while, my sister will pay her salary, so I will buy you one and come back to stew soup." ”
The boy shook his head, nodded again, lowered his head and ate his food silently.
What followed was a long silence, during which even if the girl provoked the topic, the boy simply coped with it, and then there was no movement.
Seeing this, the girl sighed slightly, a trace of distress flashed in her eyes, and she didn't say anything more.
Tang Zhen, who was hidden on the side, witnessed the whole process, during which his expression changed several times, and finally looked at the young man named Xiao Rui with interest.
From this young man, he saw a strong unwillingness and humiliation, and this emotion can not only make a person, but also ruin a person.
If you take advantage of the other party's psychology, you may be able to get some benefits for yourself.
Of course, the premise is that the other party must cooperate with him willingly, otherwise it is easy to steal chickens and rice.
Tang Zhen analyzed the psychology of this young man, it was nothing more than wanting to become a strong man and avenge his parents, and he didn't want his sister to work hard for himself anymore.
It's hard to achieve these goals, at least for the siblings in front of them!
The embarrassment of life and the prying eyes of the enemy have left them in the quagmire of struggle, and it is only a distant dream to get ahead and take revenge.
I'm afraid that when they themselves face this goal, they will all have a deep sense of powerlessness at a loss.
At this time, as long as Tang Zhen appeared in front of them, no matter what role he played, as long as he could give them obvious hope, then there would be the possibility of cooperation between them.
However, Tang Zhen hesitated between his sister and brother when choosing a partner to work with, and finally he chose his younger brother.
This young man named Xiao Rui has ambition and anger in his heart, and he is also very smart. This kind of person will neither refuse nor obediently comply in the face of interests, but will weigh the gains and losses.
But this kind of person will never give up dazzling interests, because they know the preciousness of opportunities, and they are likely to do it once in a lifetime!
Go right, step out, glory, wealth, fresh clothes, angry horses, hesitate, miss, ordinary and poor light rice and coarse tea!
is not like her sister, who has worries and worries in her heart, and would rather suffer herself than implicate her family.
But it is precisely this kind of thinking that makes her directly refuse to cooperate with Tang Zhen, but continue to insist on her dream in a timely manner, even if it is a long time, as long as there is hope!
So when the young man left with his sword, Tang Zhen followed out quietly.
