Chapter 3 What's the Thing, the Paper Basket Is Fine?
Walking alone on the way home, Xiao Suo held the pack of cigarettes with only three cigarettes in his hand, and saw an old beggar begging for a livelihood on the side of the road, and handed the cigarette case over. Then he waved his hand and did not respond to the old man's thanks, and continued to walk in the direction of home.
He began to wonder what the hell was going on in the world. He was inexplicably reborn, and Chen Zhuoxi coincidentally gave birth to an ability at this time, and this ability only worked for him! It would be complete nonsense to say that all this has nothing to do with him, but he just knocked out his head and thought about all the novels about rebirth in his previous life, and he had never heard of such nonsensical plots.
"Am I Tang Seng? I want to gather the four masters and apprentices to fight monsters and upgrade all the way to save the world? Xiao Suo muttered to himself.
"Bullshit saves the world, silly boy, you call it the Companion Spirit." An abrupt voice exploded in Xiao Suo's ears.
Xiao Suo looked up in horror and found that the person talking to him was actually the old man who was picking up rags who watched him go crazy at the gate of the community during the day. The old man was leaning on a step at this time, wearing slippers on one foot and barefoot on the other, smoking a dry cigarette in his mouth and looking at Xiao Suo.
"Hey! You said that the old holy lord is not looking for anyone, but he wants to find a hairy boy like you who wants nothing. The character is cowardly, the body is weak, and the body is delicate, and he has to rush three Japanese female ...... every day"
"Stop!" Xiao Suo really couldn't listen to it anymore, and the secret he thought was well hidden was told by an old man who collected the tatters, which had a huge impact on Xiao Suo's three views.
"I've checked, when you were a child, your father went to the sea to do business, and after making a lot of money, he was lucky enough to raise a junior and abandon you two. So since elementary school, you have been robbed of money and snacks, and you have been ridiculed by your classmates as a wild child without a father. Later, I was instigated by those people to write a love letter to Banhua, and you were really naΓ―ve enough to think that girl would agree to you. The love letter was exposed, the parents were invited, and the review was read, tsk, if I were to kill you. The old man squinted, smoking a dry cigarette with one hand and the dirt between his feet with the other.
Xiao Suo clenched his fists, lowered his head and said softly: "It's okay, shut up." β
The old man continued to talk to himself as if he was sure to provoke Xiao Suo. "By the way, there's one more thing you shouldn't know. One time you couldn't stand it anymore and rushed up to beat your homeroom teacher, and then you were told that your parents were going to be expelled from school. You don't think that it was just your mother who apologized and it was over, that night your mother and the principal, hehehe..."
"I'll shut you up!!" Xiao Suo couldn't bear it any longer, his eyes were red, and he rushed forward fiercely, smashing his fist into the old man's face with all his strength.
But the old man only shook the slipper on his foot slightly, and Xiao Suo flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground.
Odd! Why didn't he release psionic energy? Is it not mastered yet? No, even if he won't release it, I deliberately made him lose his mind just now, under such a big mood swing, at this age, he should not be able to control the power in his body at all...
"Angry? Do you want to kill me? Then join us, as long as you promise to join us and lead us, my soul and all those who bully you are just toys at your fingertips. The suffering you have suffered for more than ten years will be gone. β
He didn't know I was born again! Xiao Suo suddenly realized, and then he realized that this person had mistaken himself for some companion Eucharist. Not good! I have to hurry up and find Zhuo Xi to let her hide, if he finds out that Zhuo Xi has an ability, the consequences will be unimaginable. It's good to deal with the past first, and then I'll run away alone, in short, I can't affect my mother and Zhuo Xi.
But what the old man said next made Xiao Suo's heart instantly cold.
"Oh yes! The girl you've been with today should be your first friend. Well~ Very tender girl, looking good, suitable for my successor, but it's a pity that she's an ordinary person. The old man squatted in front of Xiao Suo and smiled, "But... You care about that little girl, don't you? If you don't come with me, then I'll kill her first, and then your mother. But I won't kill you, I'll take you back and slowly keep you in captivity, as long as you are grief-stricken and can't control the spiritual energy in your body, our plan can be realized. β
"Smack!" Xiao Suo wept, and like in his previous life, he was once again forced into a dark corner by fate. It was as if all those experiences during the day were just a dream, a dream more terrifying than a nightmare. Zebra County became dark and dilapidated again in Xiao Suo's eyes, as if the scene of the boy and girl playing side by side in the sunset was just a bait thrown by God for the boy, and when the boy was not happy to grab the bait stupidly for long, he loaded the boy into the dark fishing basket.
But the girl's hug was so real to the touch, and the mother's mouth was still so nagging......
"I can go with you." Xiao Suo got up from the ground and made a choice, "But I have a request, I want to take a look at them, and you are not allowed to follow me." β
"Yes, but it's the last time, I'll give you an hour, and I'll find me in an hour." The old man picked up an empty can, stomped on it, then turned and threw the can into the broken trash basket he had been carrying, slowly disappearing into the darkness.
......
Before he opened the door and took off his shoes, his mother's angry shouts rang out, "Stinky boy! It's going to be against the sky, right, your teachers have told me that you are going to take a leave of absence, and the suspension notice has been sent to your home! β
"No, Mom, I figured it out, I'm going to join the army! This is a deliberate decision I hope you will respect my thoughts. Xiao Suo laughed with him, and hurriedly went to the sofa to hug Xiao Fengxia and said.
"Why did you suddenly think of going to be a soldier when you read your books so well?" The mother was going to reprimand, but she forgot to say it in shock because of her son's decision to become a soldier, "How long will it take, Xiao Suo, will it be dangerous?" Otherwise, don't go, Mom doesn't ask you to get ahead, as long as you live safely. β
Mother's words made Xiao Suo, who had already made a psychological preset before entering the house, almost collapsed, but for the safety of his mother's life, he had to leave. He smiled and touched his mother's face, the woman in front of him had reached an age where heavy makeup could not stop her haggard face.
"It's okay Mom! That's a lot of money! I'll transfer it to you when I pay the salary of the army next month, and you don't have to work so hard every day to develop the gallery. You don't have to..."Xiao Suo forced a smile and comforted his mother exaggeratedly.
Xiao Fengxia saw her son pretending to be happy, and she felt sad. Growing up, her son would dance like this when he lied, but she never exposed her son, because every time her son lied, it was for her good. Since this decision has been made, there must be a reason for him, and the only thing she, an incompetent mother, can do is to follow her son's lies.
"When are you leaving?"
"Tonight."
"Let's have a dumpling."
"Okay."
......
At the small dining table, the two figures sat facing each other without saying a word, just constantly sandwiching dumplings to each other. It seems that as long as this dumpling is not finished, the son will not leave. It seems that as long as you sit here, you don't have to leave your mother. But time is cruelly dead, and Xiao Suo must go. He pretended to be relaxed and smiled and said to Xiao Fengxia: "Mom! I'm leaving! β
Two lines of clear tears fell onto the dining table, and the mother lowered her head and did not speak. Xiao Suo got up, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and then left without heading. A woman's cry could be heard from the residential building, desolate and helpless.
Fifteen minutes to go, quick, it's almost there! Xiao Suo was running in the night, calculating the time in his heart. He had something to say to Chen Zhuoxi, no matter what, he didn't want a girl who only knew him for a short time, because he was caught in this crisis because of him, and she was already miserable enough.
When I arrived downstairs at Chen Zhuoxi's house, the lights had been extinguished. He hesitated, then gritted his teeth and rushed into the building. But when he reached her door, he stopped again. What to say? Say he'll never come back? said that he said during the day that he wanted to redeem her, and she couldn't do it under the ravages of reality? Or do you say something, say I like you but stay away from you?
That's right, although they only got along for a few hours, Xiao Suo was very sure that he had fallen in love with Chen Zhuoxi. It's not the kind of ignorance between boys and girls, nor is it the so-called love at first sight born from coveting appearance, he likes her soul, as if as long as she is there, he will be at ease and fearless. But why, now I don't even have the courage to see her for the last time...
"Squeak~" The door opened, and Chen Zhuoxi's small head poked out, "What's wrong?" Why did you come to me all of a sudden. I hear you. β
Xiao Suo silently hugged the girl forward, and said silently in his heart: "Just listen, I don't know how to explain it to you." I have to go. The girl's body froze, "I'm going... I'm going to a very distant place, sorry, maybe I can't redeem you. In the days to come, you will slowly forget my existence, remember to make yourself happy, ordinary is not terrible, just be happy. Don't try to go to me, and don't show it if you can hear someone's inner voice. At last... I like you. β
After saying this, Xiao Suo stopped staying and rushed downstairs.
......
Back at the gate of the community, the old man was already waiting for him there. Seeing that Xiao Suo came back obediently as agreed, his eyes were dull and seemed to have accepted his fate, the old man laughed insolently, then patted Xiao Suo's shoulder, and said lightly: "Let's go!" Worldly desires are just tools for mortal beings to sink, and you will soon be able to appreciate a completely different world, and then all of this will be within your reach. β
But then suddenly there was a strange laugh behind him, and the old man froze in mid-air as he took a step forward. He turned to look at him in disbelief, and then, as if he had seen something particularly terrifying, he stepped back in horror.
Looking at the old man's eyes, I saw a very bewitching-looking person who was holding Xiao Suo's shoulder at the moment, looking at the old man with a playful expression.
With a snake hairpin on his head, a red robe was not tied tightly but draped on his body casually, and the small red snakes on the robe were lifelike, each of them spit out a letter and stared at the old man fiercely, as if he was about to rush out of his clothes and bite the old man in the next second. The delicate face makes people involuntarily desire, and only the slightly bulging Adam's apple and the chest muscles exposed because they are not well dressed can make people sure that it is a man in front of them.
"How do you... Haven't you been suppressed, and what about the others? It took a long time for the old man to ask a trembling question. He kept swallowing and looked nervous.
"Run? Repression? Scold! It's just just two hundred years later, little broken basket, have you started to call yourself orthodox, have you forgotten the rules of speaking in the palace back then? The strange man played with the ends of his hair while leaning on Xiao Suo's shoulder, his nose close to Xiao Suo's neck, and sucked greedily.
"Damn! You're disgusting! Didn't you say you came to help me fight, fight! Xiao Suo hurriedly distanced himself from the man and said with a disgusted expression.
"You kid is very rude, you know how many people knelt at the door of my hall and wanted me to smell me, but I refused, you are good." The strange man covered his mouth and chuckled, and then looked at the old man: "I didn't expect that after so many years, the paper basket that the old holy lord put in the toilet has grown to this point, and that guy is really willing to do it." β
"What the hell! The paper basket is fine?! β
