Yang Chengbo saw that Lin Xi and Lin Nan's eyes were full of weirdness, he licked his lips and regained a little reason and asked, "If I want to change my life, what price will I pay?" ”

Lin Xi took out a piece of straw paper, drew a few straight lines with a pencil and said to him: "You and the others were originally parallel lines that did not intersect, but your lines are distorted......

The pencil brushed a stroke on the paper, and the sound made Yang Chengbo startled, seeing that the line that symbolized himself began to intersperse with other roads, he heard Lin Xi say: "You have gone to other roads, you may have taken advantage of other people's opportunities, if you want to change your life, then you will lose the best time in ten years to exchange for this opportunity." ”

Yang Chengbo blinked in confusion: "Will I shorten my life span by ten years, or?" ”

Lin Xi shook his head: "Everyone's luck is fixed, you will lose ten years of luck, and leave those opportunities to those who are encroached upon by you, which is why some people can become famous at the age of seventeen, and some people can only achieve success at the age of eighty, because their luck has not arrived." ”

Yang Chengbo hesitated in his heart, is it worth it to exchange ten years of luck for this success?

But when he thought that he didn't know when he would succeed, the only thing he could do was to seize the present, rather than regret it, it was better to regret it, at least he had tried the last chance.

Yang Chengbo straightened up, then bowed heavily to Lin Xi and said, "Please help me this time." ”

Lin Nan opened his mouth, but did not speak, because he knew that Yang Chengbo would definitely pay more than he imagined, and he was thinking too simple now, so he would agree with a hot brain.

Lin Xi raised his eyebrows, sat on the rocking chair, and said the last admonition: "If you want to change your life, you must build a foundation, and if you want to regret it at that time, you won't have a chance." ”

Yang Chengbo has already made up his mind, saying that he will definitely not regret it.

Lin Xi smiled, she regretted that she had seen a lot, and in her opinion, Yang Chengbo would not be an exception.

Lin Xi put the compass in her bag, Lin Nan stood up and leaned close to her ear and said, "You don't persuade him anymore?" ”

"I never interfere with other people's decisions, as long as it is their choice, I will respect it." No matter whether the choice is good or bad, it is their own life path that they choose, and whether they can complete it depends on their own destiny.

Lin Xi drew a yellow talisman and pasted it on the back of the compass, and the compass began to rotate rapidly, leading Lin Xi and the three of them to gradually walk towards the mountain.

The three of them followed the compass and walked up for a while, Lin Xi looked at the surrounding environment, the grass and trees were deep and lush, gathering the aura of heaven and earth, she pointed to the direction to the east and said to Yang Chengbo: "There is the place where the Tibetan wind gathers qi." ”

Yang Chengbo looked up and saw that it was actually the residence of Xu Mei's family, and hesitated for a while: "But there are people living on it, are you sure?" ”

"It's something you're going to work out, and it has nothing to do with me." She is only responsible for the formation, not the interpersonal relationship.

Yang Chengbo took a few steps forward, and saw that Lin Xi and Lin Nan were still in place, and said a little helplessly: "Aren't you going in?" ”

"It's not a good thing for you for us to go in, and if you can't solve this little thing, it seems that your willingness to build a foundation is not as strong as you imagined."

At this time, only the radical method was of some use to Yang Chengbo, he prepared silently for a while, and walked forward resolutely, Lin Nan saw his back and said to Lin Xi: "It seems that he believes in you very much." ”

In fact, Yang Chengbo had never seen Lin Xi's skills, but Lin Xi said that he wanted to build a foundation, so he acted immediately, without any doubts.

Lin Xi raised his eyes and pointed at himself and said, "My face is full of steady and mature, what reason does he have not to believe it." ”

Lin Nan looked at her still a little immature face and said, "Even if you say I'm a liar on your face, someone like him will believe you." ”

Although Lin Nan didn't like Yang Chengbo to get too close to Lin Xi before, in fact, he knew that Yang Chengbo was a loyal and honest person, so he was still a little surprised that he was a little desperate to change his life.

Lin Xi crossed his arms and looked at Xu Mei's house and said: "Sometimes the more honest people you look at, the more terrible their persistence becomes. ”

Yang Chengbo repeatedly did psychological construction in front of Xu Mei's door before he dared to knock on the door, and it was Xu Mei's father who opened the door, but his expression was a little strange, as if he was surprised that someone came to the door as a guest.

He invited Yang Chengbo to the house, poured him a glass of white water and said, "Since Xiaomei and I moved to the mountain, you were the first to come to see us." ”

After Zheng Qiu disappeared, the ban on Xu Mei was also lifted, but Zheng Qiu's medicine to Xu Mei was too ruthless, and the disappearance of the ban made her delirious, and she was stupidly happy when she saw people, and she would shout Zheng Qiu's name in her mouth.

Hearing him say this, Yang Chengbo couldn't explain his intentions, and such a purposeful search was like sprinkling salt on someone else's wound.

Father Xu saw that he didn't speak for a long time, and saw his anxious and uneasy look, knowing that he had nothing to do and didn't come to comfort them, he asked directly: "If you have anything to say, don't swallow it." ”

Yang Chengbo stammered for a long time before Xu's father understood: "Do you want to change houses with me?" ”

Yang Chengbo nodded, his house was a brick house that was only built two years ago, and the equipment at home was complete, which was much better than Xu's father's temporary house, and he said that the food stamps and cotton stamps he had now could be given to Xu's father.

But Yang Chengbo didn't think that the better the conditions he gave, the more Xu's father would wonder if there was gold hidden in his house, and he didn't know, so Yang Chengbo deliberately used these seemingly good things to make a transaction.

Yang Chengbo couldn't explain the reason, so he could only say clumsily: "Uncle Xu, I really need this house, and Xu Mei will go outside when she grows up after all, so she can't live in the mountains for the rest of her life." ”

What he said was reasonable, but the conditions he gave were too generous, so that Father Xu couldn't figure out the reason, and he didn't dare to agree easily, so he could only ask: "Xiao Yang, what are you going to do with this house, you give me a letter, otherwise I won't be at ease." ”

He doesn't believe that pie will fall from the sky, and if it falls, it is also a trap.

Seeing this, Yang Chengbo had no choice but to say, "Uncle Xu, how do you want to agree to say it directly." ”

He wasn't sure what he was thinking, so he could make his own conditions.

Father Xu took a puff of the cigarette in his hand and looked at Yang Chengbo jokingly and said, "I said that you are going to marry Xiaomei, and this house is yours, are you willing?" ”

Yang Chengbo was stunned for a moment and didn't speak, but Xu's father gradually became serious, Xu Mei no longer had a reputation in the village because of Zheng Qiu, and now she has become a fool, she is an innocent person who can't look down on her, her mother is gone, and she is dying, how long can she protect her?

He looked at Yang Chengbo, a good young man, an honest man, and the only high school student in the village, with an unlimited future, Xu Mei was really profitable to marry him.

Father Xu patted Yang Chengbo on the shoulder and said, "How about it, if you are willing to marry Xiaomei, I will give you this house for free, and it will be Xiaomei's dowry." ”

Yang Chengbo lowered his head and clenched his fists.

Lin Xi and Lin Nan waited outside for a long time, and finally saw Yang Chengbo coming out of Xu's house, Xu's father had a smile on his face, but his face was not very good.

Yang Chengbo walked down to meet Lin Xi and the others, and reluctantly showed a smile and said, "He has already promised to give me the house, and in addition, in a week, I will invite you to come and drink the wedding wine." ”

Father Xu was afraid that he would return after sleeping, so the time was set in a hurry.

Lin Nan frowned, Lin Xi had an indifferent expression on his face, and just said to Yang Chengbo: "Remember your choice today." ”

Yang Chengbo pursed his lips and nodded with a smile, and walked forward alone, Lin Nan was a little puzzled: "This exam is so important to him, so important that he would rather sacrifice his marriage?" ”

Compared with Lin Nan's doubts, Lin Xi said with a little understanding: "I have met many similar people before, they are very ordinary, very ordinary, and their wishes are very simple, but they are in the background at that time but there is no way to fulfill that small wish, they can only try their best to pursue the last light, which is like a moth on the lamp, often born to death." ”

Just like during the period of the Great Hunger Strike, there are obviously some people who still have a mouthful of grain in their hands, but they choose to do the meat business, or steal to rob, because when others tell them that the next bite of food is in the near future, they don't know if they have the life to survive to the future, they can only keep driving themselves forward, and they dare not stop in place, for fear of missing an opportunity, and there will be no more opportunities.

Lin Nan asked Lin Xi, "What about you?" When you come to his situation, will you make the same choice as him? ”

His question amused Lin Xi, and Lin Xi patted him and said, "But I will never get to his situation, I will not make this choice, you see, this is the powerful benefit, although it will have more choices in front of you, but it will never let you go into a desperate situation." ”

Lin Nan lowered his head silently and did not speak, Lin Xi looked into the distance and said: "I'm not laughing at Yang Chengbo's weakness, but Lin Nan, if a person wants to live according to his own wishes at no cost, it is really difficult, all living beings are holding one thing in exchange for another, no one makes a difference, at least what Yang Chengbo is exchanging is what he really wants, no matter what the outcome of his life is, at least he has no regrets, at least he can enjoy the time he can enjoy." ”
