Chapter 23: A Life Without Expectations
After the master gave Ning Xu this life-changing charm, he explained how Ning Xu used it, and then disappeared after receiving the money.
For so many years, Ning Xu has not been able to contact that master again.
At first, he thought that he had met a liar, thinking that it was a charm that he had spent so much money on, so the dead horse was regarded as a live horse doctor, and he hid it in the longevity lock and handed it to Ning Le.
What happened later proved that the master had not lied to him, and he was glad that he hadn't thrown the spell away.
Over the years, Ning Xu has been thinking, when is the time point when the master said that the change of life was completed?
It was recently that Ning Xu had a very strong intuition that the exchange between him and Ning Le was about to be completed.
But at this juncture, he actually kicked Su Ting's iron plate.
Ning Xu regretted it, he had known that he would settle down during this time.
It's a pity that there are no regret pills sold in this world.
Su Ting's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Ning Xu's head hard.
Ning Xu instinctively didn't believe Su Ting's words, but a voice in his heart told him that Su Ting was not lying.
And what made Ning Xu collapse even more was still to come.
The audience who said that he knew Ning's family before hurriedly left the live broadcast room to call his friend, asked about Ning Le's situation, and shared Su Ting's live broadcast room with the other party.
I don't know how they communicated, but the netizen's friend called Ning Le.
Coincidentally, Ning Le happened to be reprimanded by his parents because he made a mistake at that time.
When the phone called, Ning Le was the first to hang up.
But the other party persevered and hit two more in succession.
In the end, Ning Le's parents couldn't stand it, so they directly snatched Ning Le's mobile phone and connected the phone.
Before Ning's father could speak, Ning Le's classmate on the other end of the phone said in a hurry: "Ning Le! Is your brother's name Ning Xu? ”
Father Ning was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Ning Le's brother is called Ning Xu, what's wrong with Ning Xu?" ”
The classmate on the opposite side was also stunned when he heard Ning's father's voice, his tone instantly became respectful, and he said cautiously: "Hello uncle, I am Ning Le's classmate." That's the case, my friend used to be your neighbor, and he just shared a live broadcast room with me, saying that it was your eldest son Ning Xu who connected the microphone in the live broadcast room, and also broke a big secret about your family, so let me hurry up and ask, is it really your home? ”
"Ning Xu told the secret of our family in the live broadcast room? What are the secrets of our family? Father Ning was confused when he heard this, and Mother Ning and Ning Le next to him were also at a loss.
"Uncle, I don't know the specifics, I shared the live broadcast room with Ning Le, you can go and see for yourself. It's good to confirm whether that person is your Ning Xu. ”
"Okay, thank you, classmate."
"You're welcome, I'll hang up that uncle first, uncle goodbye."
The classmate hung up the phone quickly, and the next second, Ning Le's mobile phone rang a message prompt tone.
Ning's father handed the phone to Ning Le and asked Ning Le to unlock the operation.
Ning Le listened to Ning's father's words a little sneeringly, opened his mobile phone, and clicked on the link to the live broadcast room sent by his classmates.
As soon as I entered, I heard the anchor's voice echoing in the live broadcast room.
"Ning Xu, tell me about you, if you don't come to trouble me today, I won't take the initiative to harm you. But why can't you think about it? Well? ”
Su Ting's tone did not fluctuate much, his tone was tactful, and just listening to the tone, no matter how he heard it, it didn't look like he was threatening and warning people.
It's almost the same as flirting.
Ning's father and Ning's mother frowned, and subconsciously felt that this live broadcast room was not very serious.
Again, the anchor just called their son's name.
Just didn't wait for Ning's father and Ning's mother to express their opinions, Su Ting suddenly looked at the camera and shouted directly at them.
"Mr. Ning, Mrs. Ning should be here, right? And your son Ning Le is here, right? ”
Ning's father and Ning's mother were taken aback, looked at Ning Le in surprise and asked, "How does she know?" ”
Ning Le shook his head, his face blank, his face looking unhealthily pale.
"I don't know."
When Ning Le spoke, he gave people a feeling of slowness, as if he was sluggish in everything he did, and he was half a beat slower than others.
No matter how much time and energy his parents spent on him, he tried hard to absorb and study seriously, but in the end, he gained nothing.
He's like a bucket with a hole, and no matter how much water you fill it in, it will eventually leak out of the hole.
He couldn't keep it at all.
Over time, his parents were also completely disappointed in him.
Coupled with those bad things, even though Ning's father and mother loved their children, they were also alienated from Ning Le because they were afraid.
Ning Xu's eyelids jumped suddenly when he heard Su Ting ask this question on the microphone.
"Who are you talking to? Who's coming? ”
Although Ning Xu didn't turn on the video, he didn't turn on the voice changer either, and his voice was still his original voice.
Ning's father and mother were stunned for a moment when they heard Ning Xu's voice.
"Is it Xiao Xu's voice?" Father Ning hesitated and asked Mother Ning beside him.
Ning Mu shook her head, her face also hesitant.
Su Ting didn't answer Ning Xu, but said to Ning's father and mother behind the camera: "Mr. Ning and Mrs. Ning, I know you are watching the live broadcast, if you believe me, you can now take off the longevity lock on your youngest son's neck and open it to see what is inside." ”
Father Ning and Mother Ning subconsciously looked at Ning Le when they heard this, and the first thing that appeared in their eyes was not concern and inquiry, but displeasure.
Similar things have happened too many times, and Ning Le's parents have become accustomed to thinking that when someone mentions Ning Le to them, it is Ning Le who is in trouble again.
This time was no exception.
What did she mean by that? Ning Le, did you do anything good with your mother behind my back? Father Ning's voice was undisguised with anger.
Ning Le looked at his parents innocently and aggrieved, "I didn't." ”
The tone revealed weakness, and the voice gradually became quieter, and finally it was almost inaudible.
has been misunderstood and distrusted for a long time, and gradually he can't afford to explain.
Anyway, no matter what he says, his parents won't care.
It seemed that everyone was looking forward to his departure.
Ning Le was a little tired, and he also felt that he might want to disappear, which would be good for everyone.
He doesn't have to worry every day, afraid that one day he will bring disaster to his parents.
After all, he's a scourge.
Ning Le stopped talking, hung his head slightly, leaned on the back of the chair and curled up. It was as if all of a sudden, the spirit that supported him to stay alive was completely withdrawn at that moment.
It's like an old man who is about to die, and his eyes have lost his desire for life.
Ning's mother's eyelids jumped, and she keenly sensed that something was not quite right with her son.
Just before she could ask, Father Ning's scolding smashed towards Ning Le.
Ning Le didn't react.
