Chapter 12: Exchanging Secrets
Dugu looked at Zhixuan with a tearless look on his face, and cheered: "Sister Zhixuan, this is so handsome!" Hurry up and teach me, teach me, teach me, teach me......"
Zhixuan glanced at her without tears and said, "Stop." Don't babble. To learn to use Qi, one must first perceive the existence of Qi. To feel the existence of Qi, we must first feel the existence of all things in the universe. Now you close your eyes. β
After closing his eyes without tears, he said, "I closed it, and then what?" β
"How many trees do I have next to you?" Zhixuan gave no tears a small problem.
"Okay, I'll count." Dugu Wutear didn't understand, and planned to open his eyes to count.
"Close your eyes! Who wouldn't count when you open your eyes! Zhixuan patted the back of her tearless head with hatred and steel, and taught, "Feel with your heart, feel the wind; Listen with your heart and listen to the sound of the tree. β
Although Dugu is naughty, he will be very well-behaved when he is serious. I saw that he immediately stood still and followed Zhixuan's teachings seriously.
In order not to disturb Dugu without tears, I helped Zhixuan to another corner of the mountain and sat down. I gave her the gun back.
Zhixuan took the gun and asked me, "How is it?" Is there anything to improve? β
I smiled in response to her, "Why do you think I have the power to improve what you've invented?" β
Zhixuan took out the bamboo tube containing the nutritional conditioning liquid I prepared for her, shook it, and said, "This thing is not something that ordinary people can make. β
"Tell me about your inspiration for this thing." I changed the subject and said.
Zhixuan took the gun, played with it, and recalled: "Two years ago, I was still in the third year of junior high school, studying in the town. Law and order in small towns and villages is not very good, and there are occasional cases of armed robberies. I was living in a dormitory on campus, and one of my roommates suddenly fell ill that night. The school doctor and the nearby clinic couldn't handle the disease, so the teacher took her and me to the hospital on a motorcycle. It was two or three o'clock in the morning, and it was dark everywhere, and there was no light; Even the sky was dark, not a single star could be seen. And then we were targeted by the bad guys. They stopped the car and knocked the teacher unconscious. Originally, they wanted to shoot motorcycles, but then they ......"
Zhixuan paused, blushed and continued: "That...... I was already developed by then. They wanted to violate me. In order to protect myself, I wounded them with the Tiangang Divine Arrow, and then snatched the gun. From the moment I held the gun, I loved the gun. To avoid revealing my identity, I shot the bad guy at gunpoint. At that time, the teacher was knocked unconscious, my roommate was so sick that he was unconscious, the bad guy died, and no one knew what I had done. So I hid the gun and knocked myself unconscious. The police investigated for a long time and did not find clues, so they speculated that the bad guys had unevenly distributed the spoils and there was infighting, and then closed the case. It's the bad guys who die, and all three of us innocent people are fine, and everyone can accept this outcome. And no one pursued the matter anymore. I found the gun and rebuilt it into the one I have now. β
After Zhixuan finished speaking, she bargained with me and said, "I have shared a secret with you, should you also tell me a little about you?" β
I smiled helplessly, and finally told her that her guess was not wrong, that Liu Wen, that is, her cousin, was dead, and that I was just an impostor. Anyway, she already knows half of the secret, so there is no need to continue to hide it.
Zhixuan sighed and said, "In this case, there is only one person left in the Dugu family without tears." He's still so young, only eight years old! β
I don't know how to comfort her, and to be honest, I don't. For me, pain is the driving force for growth, and I don't need to be comforted.
Zhixuan cleaned up her mood and continued: "Since you are not my cousin, then who are you?" β
"You can't trade one secret for two of my secrets." I recognized Zhixuan's little scheme.
"That's fine! What do you want to know from me? Zhixuan said briskly.
"You were the killer who hid on the Pagoda that morning, right?" There are quite a few details on this issue that are of interest to me.
Zhixuan nodded sadly and said, "Actually, that person is also an uncle I like, and he helped us when my family was in trouble." If my dad hadn't told me this important information via guΓ² message on his mobile phone before he was arrested, I might have been arrested. Who would have thought that such a person would end up betraying us? I really can't figure it out! I've been thinking about this all this time. If we hadn't told him the secret, maybe he would still be my good uncle. It seems that sharing secrets not only does not strengthen friendships, but also destroys a friendly relationship. β
Speaking of this, Zhixuan suddenly stopped talking. I was silent too. Because we're sharing secrets with each other, if we continue like this, we might destroy the relationship.
The atmosphere was weird. The wind is blowing, the trees are shaking, and the leaves are rustling. Zhixuan said it reasonably, but she always felt that something was wrong. Is that kind of friendship that can be betrayed by money still a friendship?
"You escaped pretty fast that day." I smiled and broke the awkward atmosphere.
"It's okay. Our ancestors lived in the jungle and were famous bushhunters. The ancestral archery technique is full of shots. Our ancestors were able to create the Tiangang Divine Arrow, which is indispensable to the merits of our ancestors. Jungle hunting requires a quick passage through various obstacles without disturbing the prey. This requires a very flexible body and agile speed. Zhixuan said proudly. She should also be proud. Compared with those in the Dugu family, the descendants of the Liang family have passed on their knowledge and abilities well.
The weather in the south is warming up quickly, tomorrow is rain, and a lot of clouds have accumulated in the sky. The rain has not fallen, but the humidity of the air has changed. Dugu Wutear worked very hard, practiced until his legs were numb, he couldn't stand steadily, and he still used his heart to understand Zhixuan's teachings. They were running out of solution, so I refilled some of them.
Zhixuan took the conditioning liquid, took a sip, and then pretended to be relaxed and said, "Then should I call you cousin or ......?" β
I thought for two seconds and replied, "Cousin." β
I know what Zhixuan is thinking. Having lost a loved one, she is psychologically hungry for more love, and having a loved one can restore her courage to life. And, psychologically, I need them too. In the days I spent with them, I was touched.
When Zhixuan heard my reply, she turned her head and smiled secretly. She is a strong and intelligent girl who knows how to get out of grief. Looking at the two of them, I believe that in the history of mankind, their legends will be left behind.
There are still two weeks left before Zhixuan's leg injury fully recovers. After I had enough of the nutritional solution, I went down the mountain to buy a change of clothes for them. I came to the side of the road, waiting for passing traffic, intending to take a ride. Things didn't go as smoothly as I thought they would, there were a lot of cars passing by, but no one wanted to stop for me. In the end, it was a rural passenger minibus that was willing to open the door for me.
As soon as I got in the car, the driver asked me, "There is no village in front of this place, why do you appear here?" β
Faced with this kind of problem, I can only lie. I told the driver that I had a private car, and when I came here and saw someone on the side of the road asking for help, I was going to help kindly, but the other party was a bad guy and took away my car, mobile phone and belongings.
The driver and the passengers in the car were amazed when they heard my story. In this lie, I play a kind person who fictionalizes a bad guy they are afraid of. It means we're on the same page. They didn't ask me any more questions, but a few enthusiastic ladies kept comforting me, saying that good people have good rewards, and evil people have bad rewards.
The bus terminates at Gaozhou City, which is exactly where I need to go. The kind driver gave me a waiver of the fare, which made me ashamed. I can't give him money, or the lie will be a goof. It's a real mess.
I remember Dugu Wutear and Liang Zhixuan's body size in my brain, and it is not difficult to help them pick out clothes. I picked out three sets of clothes for each of them according to their requirements, and I also equipped them with shoes and socks backpacks. In order to integrate myself into this society, I also bought a few sets of clothes for myself.
δΈqiΔ goes very smoothly. I walked out of the mall with my clothes and planned to go to the station to catch the train back. As soon as I walked out of the gate, a young man with sunglasses hit me hard. I haven't expressed my dissatisfaction, but the other party has scolded me. In order to avoid any complications, I apologized to him. If it weren't for Dugu Wutear and Liang Zhixuan influencing me, according to my previous character, the first word he scolded would announce the end of his life.
I had plenty of time, so I walked slowly along the road, admiring the beautiful side of the town as I went. Although the traffic on the road was a little chaotic, there was no anger or dissatisfaction on people's faces. Next to it is a park, where old people are playing with an entertainment toy called "dominoes". They played the cards with a crackling sound, and the shouts were very excited, and they were all in high spirits. Women who go out to shop in the city carry large bags and small bags, their faces full of anticipation, hoping that the things they are shopping for will make their family's life better. These people live under their own sky, and they seem to be at ease. Should such a world be devoured and destroyed?
As I pondered, I heard the sound of cars braking and colliding behind me, followed by the familiar shouting and swearing. Why the familiar scolding? Because the scolder was scolding me just now.
I turned around to find out what was going on. It turned out to be a peddler on a tricycle who was struck by a young man with sunglasses driving a BMW while making a turn. The young man got out of the car and saw that his car had been scratched with a deep mark, and all kinds of vicious curses poured towards the hawker aunt like the opening of the reservoir gate. The aunt was scolded with tears in her eyes and didn't know how to deal with it.
Originally, I didn't have a crush on the man in sunglasses, but now that this is happening, I feel like I have enough reason to teach him a lesson.
