Chapter Forty-Nine: Maggots Die After Meat Rot
It was late at night.
Zhang Xiaolei sat in the corner of the broken temple, leaning against the pillar.
He picked up the folded ear root, stuffed it into his mouth, and drank another sip of water.
It's still unpalatable.
He frowned and spat the folded ear to the side.
When the leper saw it, he said curiously: "Master Lei, don't eat if you can't get used to it, why do you keep seeing you eat this?" ”
"If you don't like something, eat it a few times, and you can always swallow it......," Zhang Xiaolei said, "When you get used to it, it will be a skill in the future." ”
The leper head sneered: "Eating something you don't like, can you also call it ability?" ”
"A liar is someone who has deceived himself."
"I don't think Lei Ye seems interested in being a liar."
"I'm not interested, but I inevitably have to deceive people in life."
"Hmm......"
To be honest, the leper head sometimes seems to understand Zhang Xiaolei's words.
He only felt that although Zhang Xiaolei was a living person, sometimes he was no different from a dead person.
Just say a few words to him, and even feel that he is a person who doesn't want to live.
Strange feeling.
The leper muttered in his heart, and then put the four gold nuggets on the ground with a smile: "Master Lei, thanks to your advice, you can divide these four gold nuggets." ”
"Although I have advice, thanks to the good ......craftsmanship of the brothers," Zhang Xiaolei said softly, "I will take one, and you will divide the other three by yourself." ”
The leper head hurriedly said yes, and then stopped talking.
Zhang Xiaolei asked, "What do you want to say?" ”
"A brother heard Shao Fei's words just now...... "The leper head whispered, "Shao Fei seems to be muttering and wanting to die, if he really dies, then Lei Ye's plan will be ......"
Zhang Xiaolei picked up another folded ear root and put it in his mouth, and he said calmly: "Shao Fei will not die." ”
"Why?"
"Because he's not going to kill himself."
"Lei Ye understands what I mean, I just want to ask, why is Lei Ye sure that he will not commit suicide?"
Zhang Xiaolei said softly: "Maggots will never die on their own, they will only lie on the meat, wait for the meat to rot, and then eat the meat little by little." Until the meat is gone, the maggots will starve to death. ”
"Lei Ye means ......"
"Shao Fei is a big maggot, but the Shao family is a bigger piece ......of meat," Zhang Xiaolei chuckled, "Will maggots stop eating carrion?" ”
"No, it won't."
"That's it."
Zhang Xiaolei said indifferently: "No matter how much Shao Fei regrets it, no matter how annoyed Shao Fei is. As long as there is blood in this world that he has not yet sucked dry, he will continue to eat it. ”
The leper nodded approvingly.
How can a gambling stick die so easily?
In the past few days of gambling, he has seen a lot of gamblers.
The family is surrounded by walls, and they will also gamble.
Sell their sons and daughters, and they will gamble.
No gambler knows his life, and unless he is forced to die, he will always let the people around him die for him.
The leper head said softly: "Now that Shao Fei has lost so much silver, what will he do?" ”
"He never dared to tell his uncle about this matter, and he was afraid that he would lie to his uncle and say that he had already repaid the ......money," Zhang Xiaolei said calmly, "Because he knows very well that if he confesses to his uncle, his uncle will be furious at that time, and the Shao family will know." ”
"He doesn't dare to bear the consequences?"
"Yes, he didn't dare. You know, the most interesting thing about gamblers is that when they're not gambling, they treat themselves as good people. ”
"How?"
"They don't want people to know that they owe money, they don't want people to know that they owe gambling debts, they always want to maintain a superficial image......," Zhang Xiaolei said with a smile, "Even if they are rotten in their bones, they have to pretend to be pitiful." Because begging for mercy is their last resort, you know? ”
"I don't understand, what's the use of begging for mercy to keep their image with them?"
"When a person pleads with you for help, only if he maintains it on the surface can you sympathize with you and make you believe that he can turn over a new leaf."
"Got it."
The leper looked at Zhang Xiaolei with some admiration.
In the past two years, Zhang Xiaolei's transformation has been huge.
He watched Zhang Xiaolei become more and more stable, and there were more and more ideas in his head.
It's just that......
He also watched Zhang Xiaolei degenerate little by little.
Where exactly did it fall?
He couldn't tell.
It just feels like this man is in a bad mood every day.
Thinking about it carefully, he never seemed to have seen Zhang Xiaolei laugh sincerely.
Even when he was cashiering, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, but he quickly regained his composure.
Not......
He thought about it for a while, and finally decided that he didn't want to.
It's not fun to think about it anyway......
Shao family.
Shao Fei sat in the corner of the martial arts arena, and he felt that he should cry.
But he couldn't cry.
Shao Fei felt that the most terrible thing about himself was not chagrin.
It's that every time he is annoyed, it's milder than the last.
It's better to die.
He told himself this three times.
The first time he said this, he found a rope, brought a stool, and prepared to hang himself.
At that time, he looked at the rope for a long time and made several determinations, but in the end he still couldn't stand up.
But he remembers it well.
That day, he cried all night.
The second time he said that, he didn't look for a rope.
Instead, he hid in the corner of the martial arts arena and quietly wiped his tears alone.
Now, for the third time, he's said it.
But when he returned to Shao's house, he found that he couldn't cry.
Seems...... As if used to it.
Seems...... As if to comfort.
There were countless thoughts in his mind, comforting himself.
"This time, I really won't gamble......," he muttered, "as long as I can survive this catastrophe, I really won't gamble." ”
He was thinking like this, when Shao Xiaoling's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Brother." ”
Shao Fei hurriedly turned around and smiled at Shao Xiaoling: "Sister, why don't you go to sleep yet?" ”
"I can't sleep, get up and practice."
"Ah Mei always ......works so hard," Shao Fei said softly, "Dad is preparing to give you the Shao family recently, and he will take you to meet regular customers, you have to rest well, but don't get tired and sick at this time." ”
Shao Xiaoling smiled: "Brother, I'm not tired, I'm very energetic, and I fight every box." ”
Shao Fei doted: "You girl, practice less martial arts and learn more girl's things." Now you are much more beautiful, and people come to your house every day to give a dowry. ”
"I don't want to get married yet, I've already thought about it, I want to find someone I like." Shao Xiaoling said shyly.
Shao Fei thought for a while and said, "In the past two years, you have been quite close to that Xiaolei. ”
Shao Xiaoling hurriedly said: "We are friends. ”
"There is a difference between men and women, so don't get too close."
"Zhang Xiaolei is fine now...... Shao Xiaoling muttered, "When we first met, he was dirty and thin. In the past two years, I have become much more handsome, a head taller than me, and I am knowledgeable, and I can export chapters at every turn......"
Shao Fei said softly: "Don't praise him, you always have to marry a big family, he is not worthy of you." ”
"Oops, they all said we were friends, I didn't think so."
"Brother, whatever you want."
Shao Xiaoling was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Brother, you don't look very happy these days, what's wrong?" ”
Shao Fei smiled and said, "It's not much, it's you who think too much." ”
"If my brother has something to worry about, you can tell me......" Shao Xiaoling said seriously, "We are brother and sister, we can say anything, right?" ”
Shao Fei spread out his hands and said innocently: "Brother is really fine, you can rest assured." ”
Shao Xiaoling snorted, she was silent for a while, and finally said: "Brother, I will go to Maicheng with my father tomorrow, and my relatives will also go over at that time." The Shao family wants to bother you to take care of it for a few days, you have to be serious, don't be the same as before. ”
Shao Fei was stunned when he heard this: "From tomorrow onwards, the Shao family will only have me?" ”
"Hmm."
"None of you are here?"
"Hmm."
Shao Fei's heart.
Suddenly I was about to move......
