Chapter 431: Ma Xiaolong's Story
"This box is really good, Gabriel, it seems that you are quite rich." In the high-end box, Ma Xiaolong sat on the leather cushion and looked around.
"Ma Xiaolong, where is your seat?" Gong Bing looked at the uninvited person and asked.
After Glass left with the people from Black Rock Fort just now, seeing that there was no excitement to see, the people around him quickly dispersed, Gong Bing and Ruita returned to their box along the same road, while Ma Xiaolong followed with his luggage.
"Gabriel, you're so cold, of course I have a seat." Ma Xiaolong took out a crumpled ticket, raised it and said, "But this is just a hard seat ticket, it is very cheap, and it can't be compared with you here." ”
Unlike Gong Bing, Ma Xiaolong only bought a hard seat ticket for an ordinary carriage, in this kind of carriage, the benches are densely arranged, each of which is crowded with at least three or four people, and the seats are wrapped in cloth and wooden boards, which are not only hard, but also knock their butts after sitting for a long time.
Originally, the little girl from the Sword Gate also wanted to follow in, but was blocked by Gong Bing.
At that time, Louise pouted, looking very dissatisfied, but she still chatted with Bruce Ma in front of the box door, and then happily took a small card from the other party's hand, and then took the little boy with the fart and left in a hurry.
"Martha...... Bruce Ma, have you known Louise before? Rita originally wanted to call him uncle, but remembering her appearance at this time, she quickly changed her words.
"No, we just met, I really didn't expect to meet my fans on the train." Bruce Ma's gaze swept back and forth over Rita and Koller's faces, and then smiled.
"Fans? You're not going to be a star, are you? Did she ask you for an autograph? Kohler said in surprise, and at the same time swept the other party's face vigorously, but he couldn't think of such a star.
In fact, although Ma Xiaolong looks a little unkempt, and he doesn't even take care of his hair and beard, if you look closely, you will find that the other party actually looks good, he is a handsome uncle, plus that slightly melancholy eyes and temperament exuded from his body, he really has the potential to become a star.
"No, no, no, I'm just a little painter, not a star, that little girl just wants me to paint a picture for her." Ma Xiaolong shook his head, and as he spoke, he opened the duffel bag at his feet, revealing the corner of the painting tools inside.
"Well, by the way, what just happened? How did you come into conflict with the people of Fort Black Rock? Rita was a woman, and her curiosity was greater than that of the two men around her, so she changed the subject and asked.
"Is there any smoke?" Ma Xiaolong didn't answer immediately, first sighed softly, then looked at the cigarette case on the table, and asked knowingly.
Gong Bing opened the cigarette case and gave him one, and after Ma Xiaolong took it and lit it, he told the reason in a storytelling tone.
Bruce Ma and Glass have known each other for a long time, and their homes are very close, and they are still in the same class from elementary school to high school, so they are not only neighbors, but also classmates, and their relationship has always been very strong.
Ma Xiaolong's family background is average, and his mother died of illness not long after he was born, so he was raised by his father, who was a painter, since he was a child.
's father is just a third-rate painter, he doesn't have any good works, and he doesn't have much fame, but under the influence of his ears and eyes, Ma Xiaolong also likes painting.
In addition, because his father and Luo Dakai were close friends, even if Black Rock Fort was close to him, he still sent his son to the Luo Clan Martial Arts Hall and worshiped Luo Dakai as a teacher.
However, Ma Xiaolong has no interest in practicing martial arts, so in fact, he is only in the martial arts hall, and he has not learned much.
Compared with Ma Xiaolong, Glass's family background is much better, his parents are members of the secret martial arts sect-Black Rock Fort, not only are they powerful secret martial artists, but they also hold middle-level positions in Black Rock Fort.
The disparity in family backgrounds did not hinder the friendship between the two, until a girl appeared.
What follows is a very cliché story, this girl is five or six years younger than Ma Xiaolong, and after worshipping in Black Rock Fort to practice martial arts, she became good friends with the two.
Knowing lust and admiration, Ma Xiaolong and Glass both fell in love with this girl at the same time, but because of their friendship, they didn't have much action, but as the days passed, they experienced countless trivial things, and the friction between the two gradually increased, and the contradictions were also increasing with love.
In the end, when it came to the day of the showdown, the girl chose Ma Xiaolong.
Ma Xiaolong became a winner, he was proud, but he also felt ashamed of his friend, and Glass was somewhat resentful of this, so naturally Ma Xiaolong was even more unpleasant.
When a friendship is broken, it is difficult to restore it.
The new couple soon became husband and wife, but since the girl was still a disciple of Black Rock Castle, and the three of them lived close to each other, it was inevitable that they would meet each other.
Although Glass still has a love for the girl, it is impossible to do more with his person, so with the girl as a bond, the three maintain a strange friendship relationship, and live awkwardly like this.
Soon, the girl became pregnant, which was originally a lucky event, but bad luck followed, and at the same time as giving birth to a daughter, the girl died in childbirth, although the doctors and nurses tried their best to save her, but they were still powerless to prevent the arrival of death.
Ma Xiaolong was out of town at the time due to work, and when he got the news and rushed back, it was too late.
He didn't even get to see the girl for the last time, but Glass, who was a mutual friend of the two, stayed by each other's side.
Therefore, out of love for the girl, Glass's dissatisfaction with Ma Xiaolong escalated into hatred, and the relationship between the two was completely broken with the girl's death.
"So the girl who was standing next to Glass just now is actually your own daughter??" Rita asked, with her eyes bright, opening her mouth.
"That's right." Ma Xiaolong nodded, gently turning the water cup on the table in his hand.
Listening to Bruce Ma's story, Rita seemed interested, like most girls, she loves to read romance novels and eight o'clock prime-time TV series, so she has no resistance to this kind of love and hatred that happens in front of her, and it is real.
And Bruce Ma also seems to like storytelling, and answers all questions about Rita.
Although he showed hesitation and embarrassment, as if he was the male protagonist of an urban romantic drama, from the changes that flashed from time to time at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, Gong Bing could see that this guy was enjoying it, and his heart was far from being as sad as he showed on the outside.
He is just a guy with a flamboyant mouth, who doesn't speak truthfully, and loves to pretend, this is Gong Bing's evaluation of Ma Xiaolong in his heart.
Gong Bing has reason to believe that the story in the other party's mouth is seriously inconsistent with the facts, but what if it is false? No one in the box cared about that.
Gong Bing originally wanted to ask Ma Xiaolong about some martial arts competition, but the two chatted so hotly that he couldn't interject at all, so he had to give up.
In this way, it gradually became dark, and when the meal arrived, the train finally brought everyone to their destination.
