Chapter 44: Don't Move
"When I woke up, I was soaking in the pool at the house of the grandfather who sold fried milk at the beginning. After the river was released, he picked me up in the dry river and fainted.
"That's when I learned that my grandfather was a *** person. He was a mercenary in his youth and killed many people. He feels lucky to have lived until retirement. So he decided to do more good deeds and accumulate virtue, and pay off his blood debt a little.
"So I stayed at my grandfather's house. He has no children and no daughters, because it is very difficult for *** people to live. His children and wife had already been killed by the enemy.
"But I didn't stay long..... Because when I was six years old, my grandfather died quietly on a winter night that was also snowing. Luckily, after the neighbors discussed, another grandmother was willing to take over the support of me. She is not a *** person, but a retired university professor, and her children are working in the company and have a very bright future.
"And shortly after that, the old grandmother also died."
Xiao Ya's voice was soft and gentle: "In Yongquan Island, there are many, many old people.
"Because there is a certain probability that the children born to husband and wife are not aquatic souls. So in the end, the number of people who stayed on Yongquan Island was smaller from generation to generation. There are many important undertakings outside the island, whether it is uranium mines, oil mines, iron mines, and coal mines on the ground. There are also those who cut down trees, use solar power to generate electricity, search for deep-sea resources, and look for uninhabited islands where they can migrate......
"The children are gone, and in the end it is the old man who is left."
"yes, I found out too."
Strangling nodded: "When I interrogated today, I found that there were even more old people on the road than young people."
"The elderly are lonely and need help. I was raised by the old people.... When I was a teenager, I helped them with household chores and ran errands for them!"
Xiao Ya smiled, stretched out her slender arm, bent slightly and made a "strong" movement.
This made Strangler almost laugh, but as soon as the corners of his mouth bent, he straightened his face again under the manipulation of reason, making himself look more majestic.
"That's why you joined the Brokers."
"Yes! So when Mr. Huang was going to set up the Brokers, I was really happy."
Her eyes sparkled: "I have been taken care of by *** people, and I have been hunted down. In my opinion, the reason why the *** people have a bad life is that they are always infighting. They attacked each other, plundered each other, and killed each other.
"There are many, many ways to survive. I had no father or mother, and when I was only three months old, I was able to survive by the kindness of others.... So I have always believed that it is not only the hardships of survival that cause a large number of deaths and injuries. It's not that they can't live, it's that they can't find the meaning of living.
"They are like people in a quagmire, the more they struggle, the tighter they suck and sink deeper.
And then, it takes an external force – someone has to pull them out from the outside!"
Xiaoya said word by word: "Even if it's just the slightest hope, as long as you have a rope in your hand, you can save everyone."
"And everyone who is saved will be the next one to hold the rope. Light gathers light, and fire spreads fire. Our power will continue to grow..... One day, we will all be rescued from the mire.
Her eyes shone with a light called hope.
The strangulation was silent.
This, he wanted to say, was nothing more than a delusion—it was like a monarch who rescued people from their predicament, awakened them to their situation, and did not give them new instructions.
Everyone longs to be ruled and controlled.
Weak mortals are unwilling to take responsibility for thinking and choosing..... Losers who sink into the mire are even more reluctant.
They just want to be told what you have to do, what will happen if you do it, and what will happen if you don't. After giving up thinking, if the situation is different from what they expected, and the situation does not immediately improve significantly, they can scold and give their lives
The people of the order.
The world needs a monarch.
Those trapped in the mire will never need a naïve and weak "hope" as weak as the winter sun, they need a tyrant. A monarch who rules everything with absolute will.
Light does not gather light, because light is soft and weak; The fire does not spread the fire either, because the fire is blind and restless.
Kindness will never impregnate others, and justice cannot be passed on from the crowd.
Those who are so-called influenced by the kindness of others and infected by righteous deeds are born saints; People are born different. Just like some people at the beginning of their birth, because of the lack of a chip in the back of their brain, they will be reduced to people for the rest of their lives.
Smart people are smart, and that's the intelligence engraved in their genes; Wealthy people have rich families and education, and they are also destined to be rich; A good man born in the fallen Lower City will also become a good man, with the halo of an angel on his head; And even if the wicked are taught and supported by the saints...... and one day betrayal.
— just like himself.
He had long since decided to betray the Godfather. No matter how many people respect the godfather today, he will never be recognized.
He is the "evil that cannot be changed."
Take him as an example, how many such people will there be in the lower city?
Strangulation Believe..... It's definitely not just me.
So on the other hand, that is, the respected godfather, in fact, there are many traitors around him. Doesn't that prove that his teachings, the hopes he sells, are of no value?
From the experience of being knocked down, injured, and beaten again and again, Strangulation has learned the ultimate truth of life:
The only thing that can bring together the scattered hearts of people is power.
Clay will solidify into stone, and iron can be cast into steel.
- Only by turning "others" into "oneself" and manipulating them like a finger can we save others.
What is needed is not warmth. It's the bloodless, merciless, tearless cruelty, the whip that drives them out of the abyss, the collars and tinkling chains that bind their throats, and let these stupid, weak, blind losers drag them away from the mire.
....... Yes, strangulation has always been thought of that way.
Not even the Godfather could command him.
They had never walked the same path, and the Brokers were just a step to him that had to be borrowed and discarded at any time.
But now, looking at Xiao Ya's clear gaze.... The strangulation hesitated.
He still didn't think what Xiaoya said was right. He still stubbornly believes that he is on a long and arduous path, but absolutely correct in the long run.
He never lied.
What Strangling said to the barber was what he thought from the bottom of his heart:
- He is going to be king.
He wants to be the monarch in this depraved modern society, to be the sole ruler. Destroy everything with a decisive iron fist and reshape the world with the will of individuals.
I am the country!
........ However, at this moment, under the gaze of the immature girl, the strangulation seemed to have lost its endless confidence and courage.
He opened and closed his mouth. But I can't bear to destroy her wishes categorically in front of this naïve girl.
「........ How old are you?"
"I'm fourteen."
Xiaoya replied briskly, "You can't see it, can you?"
"Indeed."
It's not a girl, it's a girl.
Strangler nodded abruptly, and gave a reasonable answer to her innocence in his heart: "You are very sensible and mature. He looks like an adult in his twenties and thirties, and he treats people and things very well."
Hearing this, Xiao Ya smiled hehehe.
Looking at her smile, Strangler couldn't help but smile, which was a smile that seemed "stupid and weak" to him before.
It will make his proud "majestic" face lose its intimidating power, and make him look less reliable than a "boss".
........ But no one here knows themselves anyway.
Strangling thought to himself.
It probably doesn't matter if you smile like that in front of this girl.
Because she's a good person.......
Unlike a barber who is like a virtuous king and will bring strangulation pressure.
She is a good person who has no ambition or purpose, but simply acts for the sake of good. That carefree and brisk voice will relax the strangulation who is always frowning.... Even a faint smile will appear.
At this moment, Strangler suddenly sensed a strong sense of crisis.
Strangled and grabbed Xiao Ya's fish tail that was swaying slightly in front of his eyes, and threw her to his side.
Then a gunshot rang out.
"-Bang!"
Xiao Ya screamed and rolled on the ground several times.
The bullet that was supposed to pierce Xiaoya's chest instead hit the strangled right elbow, piercing and breaking his arm directly backwards!
The strangulation let out a muffled snort, and his body shook slightly, but he didn't scream.
Xiao Ya exclaimed.
Her eyes widened in astonishment, she reached out and subconsciously grabbed Strangle's right leg, blurting out, "Are you alright, Mr. Strangler—you need to go to the hospital immediately!"
—quiet."
The strangulation, whose right arm was broken by a bullet, whispered.
He turned around and stretched out his left hand, which was bigger than Xiaoya's face, grabbed her slender waist with one hand, and dragged her to the shadows on the side of the cabin, and hid in the shadows himself. As soon as Xiao Ya was about to get up, Strangler directly reached out and pressed her collarbone and pressed her on the deck with one hand.
"You're just lying here. Don't move. 「
The strangulation, who had broken his arm and suffered a heavy blow, gasped.
He repeated, slowly, word for word, "Don't move."
In the darkness, the pair of dark golden lion eyes gradually shone brightly.
And his left hand is so warm, powerful, and steady.
「....... I won't move."
Xiao Ya only hesitated for a moment, and then immediately replied firmly, "I will never move."
